In the end, relying on the walls of the old city to fight against Tarik, this is what Eugen calls the "positional warfare".

As soon as Allen and others heard this fighting style, they immediately felt enlightened. Indeed, relying on such a small change would be equivalent to expanding the Longxiang Army's strength six times out of thin air and being able to continuously attack the enemy.

Relying on the powerful power and range of the new musket, this tactical strategy can be fully realized.

After understanding the specific strategy, Allen and others did not hesitate at all and immediately began to set up defense lines. Round of soldiers were sent out to enter the new city of Lebir City, and used wood, stone pillars, various agricultural tools, carriages and other messy things to build difficult-to-pass defense lines.

The boxes of ammunition produced by the First Steel Plant were also sent to these defense lines and placed in places where they were readily available.

Simon trained the soldiers of the Longxiang Army in all his efforts and taught them the ideas and specific methods of positional warfare. Fortunately, this is not a profound military theory. More than a hundred Longxiang Army soldiers quickly mastered this new combat method, and the only thing they lacked was practice.

Just like Tarik's army, before the negotiations on hostage exchange began, Eugen was ready for battle.

The food conditions of the Dragon Horse Army and the City Moat have been improved to a higher level in order to keep the soldiers' physical condition at the best level before the war comes.

In this tense atmosphere, the next day finally arrived as scheduled.

The sun slowly rises from the eastern horizon, and the light penetrates the clouds, first with a cool white light, then turns into a bright red, and as time goes by, it eventually turns into a bright light shining on the earth.

The mountains and rivers and stone walls cast long shadows, and the shadows gradually changed from long to shorter, and the sun hangs high above the head.

At ten o'clock, a team of soldiers slowly walked out of Lebour City and headed towards the desolate avenue ahead. There were not many covers around the road, and only a few dry trees with branches stood on both sides.

The soldiers in the team were all riding on horses, Eugen walked in front of the black gold, wearing armor distributed between gold and red, and the red cloak was blown by the strong wind and floated toward the side of his body.

Eugen's eyes were solemn, his lips were pursed, his eyes looked straight ahead, and he walked forward without any haste.

Behind him was a row of twelve soldiers, all of which were heavy cavalry, with thick steel armor hanging on his body, and just standing there was a strong power.

Now the strongest military under Eugen is the Dragon Horse Army, but if you only look at the surface, the heavy cavalry will look even more intimidating.

Moreover, he did not want to expose the existence of the Dragon Horse Army in front of Tarik for the time being, so he brought some heavy cavalry as his escort.

A man tied up by a rope was surrounded by a twelve heavy cavalrymen, who was pulled and staggering forward, the son of Duke Billon.

Eugen did not abuse him these days, but he was still thinner than in the past, his face was also between blue and white, and there was not much blood.

The group walked along the avenue toward the Saxon Army Camp in the distance. The exchange location agreed by the two sides was closer to the Tarik's army camp, and agreed that the number of people carried by both sides could not exceed twenty people.

There is a wilderness near the exchange location, and it is impossible to ambush any soldiers, but after all, it is still dangerous to have close contact with the enemy.

Before Eugen set off, Maria and Margaret strongly disagreed with Eugen going in person, and Allen even rode directly on the horse and said that he wanted to take on the task.

However, Eugen still insisted on going. Corleon was one of the first retainers to follow him. He should have taken action in person no matter what. Moreover, if he didn't go, he would lose some prestige. The soldiers were unwilling to be loyal to a weak lord.

Over the past few days, as Eugen's burden becomes heavier, he has also experienced more and more struggles between life and death.

The threat of exchanging hostages this time was nothing to him. He has come through many more dangerous events, and this time it is not bad.

Maria and others were unable to change Eugen's idea in the end. In desperation, Allen had to arrange for all the Longxiang Army to be stationed on the edge of the new city area, led by Simon himself. Once something happened during the exchange and threatened Eugen's safety, the Longxiang Army would be able to immediately dispatch to provide support to Eugen.

On the other hand, Corion walked out of the Saxon barracks under the escort of two Saxon soldiers.

Tarik walked in front of him, following the big black bear beside him, and also carried a small team of twelve soldiers forward. Unlike Eugen, they led twelve light cavalry.

Corion walked forward in a daze, not understanding where Tarik was going to take him and what he was going to do.

He doesn't care about those things now. Anyway, death is the only benefit of people. No matter what they are when they are alive, they will die one day, and the poor, rich, good, sinner, and death will be done when they deserve it.

He is not afraid of death. He just annoyed himself until he died and never found the truth.

After walking forward for a while, Corion vaguely saw a group of people coming towards him. As the distance got closer, he finally saw clearly the appearance of the people opposite, and his heart suddenly jumped.

He had some speculations, but he couldn't believe it. He was like a poor man who had bought lottery tickets for twenty years. He suddenly won the jackpot one day and had to hold the lottery in his hand and repeatedly confirm it several times before he could truly believe it.

As the two sides got closer, Eugen's figure was like a mountain slowly moving from a distance. The closer they got, the more they pressed Corion couldn't breathe.

It seemed that there were waves of typhoons of level 18 in Corion's mind, which made him unable to think clearly at all. Even his facial features became less clear. He was dragged forward like a wooden man.

Finally, the two sides stopped at the enemy about two hundred meters apart.

If Eugen led the Dragon Horse Army, he might be able to kill Tarik directly and end the war.

But if they take action, the other party will never be able to ensure the safety of the hostages, so Eugen did not have this intention.

"Haha, I didn't expect that the legendary coward Eugen would dare to come to me in person!" Both sides stood still, and Tarik said arrogantly, his tone full of sarcasm.

Eugen hadn't been afraid of anyone in the verbal battle, so he immediately responded with a laugh: "Hahaha, you're right. I'm indeed a coward, afraid of many things, and what I fear the most is a piece of shit standing in front of me and speaking, which is really terrifying!"
