After the two armies returned, they each had their own difficulties to deal with. When Murong Wuyu returned to his tent, he became furious and threatened An Yue with the slaughter of the An clan after he broke the formation tomorrow. Tu Xiuxiu, Xue Hongye, and the others listened attentively from below and asked him, "Who dares to break the formation tomorrow after he's done with his anger?"

Tu Xian said, "Marshal, I have an idea."

Murong Guanyu said, "Tell me."

"Marshal, Guangde City is easy to attack but hard to defend, it's surrounded by plains, our army and the Ming army are on the same side, there's no need to go against all of their formations, why not just directly join the army tomorrow, bring along a car, a well, and other things and attack Guangde City directly."

Murong Guiyu was angered when he heard it. "What are you saying? Could it be that the more the An clan provokes this commander-in-chief in front of the two armies, the more you want this commander-in-chief to shrink back? "

Xue Hongye said, "General, please calm your anger. This general thinks that what General Tu said is reasonable, that our army is about the same strength as the Ming army, but we do not have any good generals in our army, that the morale of our soldiers is not as good as the Ming army's, and that we do not know what formation the Ming army is planning, these are all hidden dangers. If we act blindly and do not attack the city, instead, we will fight against the Ming army outside the city.

Murong Chengyu gave a stuffy snort and said, "You bunch of trash, don't you think that if we don't get rid of them outside the city, what can we do about it? If more than half of our troops were to die during the siege, wouldn't we be like a turtle in a jar when they attack back at us? Therefore, our army must fight a life and death battle with the Ming army outside the city! If we win, we win, and if we win, we gain fame, and if we lose, we ruin our families. There is no other choice! "

When the generals heard this, they knew that Murong Guiyu had made up his mind, so they didn't say anything more. Xue Hongye stood out and shouted loudly, "Marshal, we are willing to break the formation tomorrow!"

After hearing it, Murong Chengyu nodded and said, "Alright! Since that's the case, tomorrow, this commander will assign fifty thousand troops to you, and you will be the vanguard officer. Ouyang Chang and Liao Dezhong will be the second in command, and tomorrow, we will definitely defeat that An Family! "

Xue Hongye, Ouyang Chang and Liao Dezhong replied in unison, "General's life!" After receiving the orders, the three of them turned around and left the tent. Tu Xian stood up first and said, "If there is nothing else, Great Marshal, then this general will take his leave as well."

Murong Chengyu said, "Third brother, please wait."

Tu Xian asked, "Is there anything else, marshal?"

Murong Chengyu asked, "Third brother, how is the preparation of the fleet?"

Tu Xian said, "Don't worry, Second Brother. Everything has been settled down. When we board the ship at Liu Jia Hong Kong, we can escape overseas by water. All the overseas applications have already been arranged. The families of our two families have already been moved away during the battle."

Murong Guiyu nodded. "That's good."

Tu Xian asked first, "Second brother, are you really not taking Sixth Brother with you?"

"Old Sixth is too inflexible and too loyal to Yuan Chengquan. If we tell him about this, not only will he not leave with us, he will also ruin our grand plan."

Tu Xian said, "But second brother, at least we don't need to send sixth brother to his death."

Murong Chengyu sighed and said, "Third brother, do you still not understand how swift Zhu Yuanzhang is? His iron cavalry was unrivalled under the heavens and he was taken care of by Zhu Yuanzhang, but Yuan Chengzong actually went crazy and started a war to fight him. Not only did he become the emperor, he even used the lives of us two brothers in exchange for the emperor, so this war is almost certain to be lost. After the defeat, Sixth Brother will definitely not admit defeat. Instead, it would be better to let him die a glorious death."

Tu Xian nodded. "Understood." With that, he turned around and left the tent.

When the An clan's troops returned to their tents, Xu Yuntong immediately ordered for all the generals to be summoned to discuss the war council. When all the generals arrived, Xu Yunli was the first to ask, "Commander An, now that the army led by Murong Chengyu has arrived outside the city, although we have arranged for him to break down the formation with Commander An tomorrow, what can we do if they don't come and break the formation? Guangde City is hard to defend, what ideas do you have? "

The An family replied, "Reporting to the marshal, this general is certain that Murong Wuyu will not attack Grand Dominance City directly. He will definitely send someone to break the formation. Furthermore, the person who broke the formation is most likely one of the members, Tu Xian or Xue Hongye."

Xu Yun respectfully asked, "Why is Commander An so certain?"

The An clan became more and more excited, "Marshal, this man, Murong Guiyu, has a fierce temperament, so he has no choice. Because Guangde City is not easy to defend, this general's words lured Murong Guiyu to fight with our army outside the city, and kill the enemy in one go."

Xu Yun said respectfully, "But General An, what if Murong Guiyu really gave up on breaking the formation and attacked the city?"

The An clan shook their heads and said, "Then we can only abandon the city." Once these words were said, all the generals within the camp were stunned, and even Xu Yunxian was stunned. He hurriedly asked, "What is the meaning of this, Commander An? The reason the Emperor sent me here is to guard Guangde City and destroy the rebels. Abandoning the city and fleeing is a great crime. "

The more they thought about it, the more the An clan replied, "Marshal, you misunderstood me. I said that the city was abandoned because the city could never be defended. However, our army just abandoned the city and did not run away."

Zhu Yunwen asked, "Commander An, if we lose Guangde City, we would be considered to have lost. So what if we don't leave?"

The more the An clan listened to him, the more they replied, "Vice Commander-in-Chief, military tactics are always followed by war. There's no need to defend Guangde City if we can't defend it. We didn't abandon the city because we wanted to retreat in order to advance."

Zhu Yunwen asked, "How do we advance through retreat?"

An family said, "Using retreat as an excuse to advance, it means that if Murong Wuyu doesn't come to break the formation and instead attacks the city, we will let him attack. Then, part of our army will defend the city while the other part will surround Murong Wuyu from the outside, and we will work together from the inside. When the city is no longer safe, we will withdraw the defending army and form a encirclement outside the city. Then, we will use tens of Ferocious Tiger Cannons to attack the city."

After hearing that, Zhu Yunwen laughed, "General An, why do I feel that it's easier to defeat Murong Chengyu if it's like this? Why don't we lure them into the city and wipe them out in one fell swoop?"

Xu Yun said respectfully, "Because if that's the case, then the citizens of the city won't be able to move in time. With such a barrage of cannons, the people will surely die. By that time, Guangde City will be destroyed, so unless it's critical, we must not use it."

An Jiayi nodded and said, "That's right."
