Stars in The Sky

In the age of cold weapons, the communication means are limited. The role of the commander in chief of the Chinese army is not only to mark the position of the commander, but also to command the deployment of the whole army.

For this reason, the chess players in charge of the commander-in-chief flag must be familiar with a set of complicated semaphores, and transmit the commander-in-chief's orders in the form of semaphores in time, which can be used to mobilize and restrict the movements of other troops in the army array.

If the commander-in-chief's flag is accidentally broken, it will not only cause a serious blow to the morale of the army, but also greatly reduce the commander-in-chief's ability to command and dispatch the whole army. After receiving the enemy, the battlefield was in chaos, and people were shouting and horse neighing. The method of "basically relying on roaring" could no longer work.

"Damn it! What's going on here? "

Luo Yanxiong, who was frightened and scared and had a black face, roared: "don't you put up the handsome flag quickly?"

Of course, there are spare flagpoles in the army. A group of flag soldiers untie the flag and hang it again. Then two congenitally martial arts masters guard the flag carefully to prevent accidents.

But just after the flagpole was erected, another flash of light, which was hard to distinguish with the naked eye, broke the handsome flag again.

The commander-in-chief's flag had two accidents in a row, which made the whole army look at the direction of the Chinese army in disbelief, and they didn't understand what was going on. Was it really that the imperial court was exhausted, so even God couldn't get along with the commander-in-chief flag?

"This This should be some trouble from the bandit army? "

A congenital martial arts master finally realized a clue, his face was ugly.

"Is there any way to restrain it?" Luo Yanxiong asked quickly.

Several master level masters looked at each other and shook their heads together. I'm afraid that only the legendary immortals can stop them?

Zhao Jing saw that the court would never let it pass.

"Luo Yanxiong died in the war, and the imperial army was defeated! The imperial army was defeated! " Under his instruction, several loud family soldiers immediately cried out.

The generals and officers of other battalions responded and responded one after another. For a moment, the Chu army yelled in unison: "Luo Yanxiong died in battle, the imperial army was defeated!"

More than 100000 people yelled at the same time, the sound was like thunder, earth shaking.

The court officers and men, who were already frightened and nervous, heard the shouts of the Chu army in front of them, and their courage poured out. Many of them disordered their formation and ran away in confusion. The panic spread to the whole army like a plague. Even though the battalion leaders tried their best to restrain them, they could not recover the decline.

In the opposite array, thousands of elite Xuanjia cavalry poured out like the tide of opening the gate, and directly charged Luo Yanxiong's central army.

The chaotic imperial army was unable to deal with it at the moment. It broke down as soon as it rushed. The large army was like Mount Tai. No matter how unwilling Luo Yanxiong was, he could not change the established facts.

"Is that ok?"

Beside Qin Feng, Yun Qijun looked at the reaction of the imperial court in disbelief, and his beautiful eyes were full of incredible color.

After coming to Xiangyang City for many days, she had learned a lot about the Chu army, and understood that the victory of the Imperial Army in this war was not great. However, she did not expect that Qin Feng could directly attack the key points of the Imperial Army just twice, which made him fall into confusion.

Zhao Yuanjin ordered the elite cavalry to attack in time, which easily broke down the formation of the Imperial Army, and thus established the victory of the war.

Qin Feng laughed but did not speak because there were some cases in history, such as the battle of Jingnan in the Ming Dynasty. Hundreds of thousands of Ming army encircled and exterminated Yan Wang Zhu Di. Seeing that victory was in sight, the strong wind broke Li Jinglong's banner, which led him to seize the opportunity to turn defeat into victory.

What's more, even if there was no such thing, the Chu army's superiority over the imperial army was quite obvious. Luo Yanxiong's fate was doomed from the moment when he sent troops.

"When the whole army goes out to attack, we must kill all the enemy troops." Zhao Yuanjin ordered.

One hundred and fifty thousand troops came down on this and began to slaughter the Imperial Army on one side. All of a sudden, the army was defeated like a mountain, and many officers and soldiers fought for their way and fled for their lives, even at the expense of waving swords at their own people.

Luo Yanxiong once planned to concentrate all the experts and fight back against Zhao Yuanjin's central army at any cost, trying to turn the tables by killing the Duke of Chu.

However, when a group of experts paid a high price and braved the rain of arrows, they were finally killed by bullets coming from their faces.

By midday, more than half of the 100000 Imperial troops broke up, and as many as 560000 people were killed, seriously injured and surrendered. More than 20000 people fled on their own and became scattered soldiers. Many generals were killed or wounded and captured.

Luo Yanxiong returned to the outskirts of Yangzhou with more than ten thousand troops. He planned to join the left behind forces there and retreat to Jinling City.

Knowing that the opportunity was rare, Zhao Yuanjin ordered nearly 70% of the cavalry of the whole army to come out to pursue him, and chased Luo Yanxiong all the way.

In this way, as soon as the two armies pursued and fled, the Chu army continued to expand its achievements. Along the way, the Imperial Army successively lost and abandoned twenty or thirty thousand people, and innumerable supplies, weapons, food and materials were left behind along the way.Finally, when Luo Yanxiong fled into Jinling City, there were only less than ten thousand disabled soldiers around him.

Jinling City is also a famous city in the south. Its walls are high and thick, and its defense is very strong. It is not inferior to Xiangyang City. Therefore, general Ling Yuanqing judged the situation and did not immediately order the siege. Instead, he camped and rested in situ, intending to wait until the rear troops came with their return guns.

Anyway, Yangzhou is less than 100 kilometers away from Jinling, so there is no need to wait too long.

"Congratulations, Lord. The overall situation of the South has been decided!"

After receiving the good news, Su Mu couldn't help but tell Zhao Yuanjing.

"Well, it's up to you, Mr. and other ministers, as well as all the officers and men of the army, who dare to fight to the death, so that we can have a good situation today." Zhao Yuanjin said modestly.

Qin Feng said with a smile: "now that the victory and defeat have been divided, we can first go to take over the Yangzhou city of Wu zhence, and then move the whole army to Jinling City. If you're lucky enough, maybe the governor Jin Yizhe will take the initiative to offer the city to surrender

Zhao Yuanjing nodded and said yes, so he ordered the army to garrison outside Yangzhou City, and then sent a messenger to inform Wu zhence that he would go out of the city to meet him.

According to the previous agreement, as long as the Chu army defeated the Imperial Army, the former king of Han would surrender his city and lead all his old troops to surrender. From then on, Zhao Yuanjin was the main leader.

Now that the Chu army has fulfilled its promise, the next step is to see Wu zhence's performance.

Of course, if he repents not to surrender, it will be simple. If he directly makes the whole army attack the city, he will not have any chance if he has such sharp weapons as the return gun.

On the wall.

Standing against the wall, Wu zhence silently looked at the dense and neat camp of the Chu army, which stretched for more than 20 Li outside the city.

With years of experience in leading the army, he can easily judge that this is a rare elite and strong army, and the defeat of the imperial army is not too unjust. In fact, perhaps only the guards who defended Luojing, the capital of Qi Dynasty, could be compared with it.

With these 200000 elite soldiers, Zhao Yuanjin can take the south. If there are 500000 soldiers, the whole world will not fall into the hands of others.

"Mr. Lin..." He said hoarsely.

"My Lord, I am here." Lin Shiqian said softly.

"How many more of us?"

Lin Shiqian understood what he meant and quietly replied, "there are still more than 8000 soldiers in the city. If the young people in the city are mobilized again, the number can be tripled. Only when there is not much grain, grass and ordnance, we have to find another way to raise it."

Yangzhou is a big city with a large number of people and prosperous commerce. It belongs to several fertile places in the south. As long as Wu zhence intends to do so, he can still seize a lot of resources.

But the news that the Chu army had a huge stone throwing machine was no secret. Since even Xiangyang City can be conquered in a short time, how many days can Yangzhou keep?

A cruel fact lies before him: in the face of Zhao Yuanjin, who has become a general trend, Wu zhence has no chance. To continue to resist, at best, is the difference between dying a few days late.

"Well, tomorrow Come out of the city and surrender

Wu zhence managed to finish this sentence, and suddenly he couldn't stop his tears, almost paralyzed on the ground.

From this moment on, all the ambition turned into smoke.
