Yu Liyang couldn't even look closely at Marquis Jing'an's final charge, trying to escape before being locked up.
However, Chu Liang, Chongxuan, deliberately paused, squinted his eyes, and took a closer look at the meteorite rain that suddenly filled the sky.
The flames spread thousands of miles, and the rocks fell thousands of feet.
Vibrant and vigorous, it is truly a magnificent scene.
This is the last afterglow of this Jianfeng Mountain and this five-stage virtuous carrying array...
After taking a quiet look, he raised his knife. The knife that divided the world and cut the life span was just a light touch in the air, as misty as a cloud of smoke.
It has already been collected.
And everything in the sky that people can see has disappeared.
Including clouds, including fire, including the seemingly endless rain of meteorites...it seems that they never existed.
Cut out the clear sky with one knife!
Controlling an army of one hundred thousand Autumn Killers, mobilizing the power of the army, the killing power that Zhongxuan Chu Liang can exert is definitely at the level of a true king.
Just controlling an army of 100,000 people is a powerful constraint in itself, restricting the coach from being as free as a strong man who has great power attributed to himself.
Historically, in order to kill a strong person in the Yan Dao with a military formation, it was necessary to first let him fall into the formation, trap him with soldiers, and then attack continuously before it could be completed...
That's why Cao Jie asked Yan Ping to target Yu Liyang.
The sky is empty.
After Chongxuan Chu Liang put away his sword, he led his army to retreat. The Qiu Killing Army must share its share of the merits, and what happened next has nothing to do with him for the time being.
A hundred thousand troops surged freely across the vast land like water flowing down the ground. It was truly a scene that made the viewer feel comfortable, with an indescribable natural lightness.
There is nothing better than this in the art of military use.
In the scene of this storming battle at Jianfeng Mountain, no one noticed the edict of Hua Hong, the Marquis of Jing'an in the Xia Kingdom.
Because he had been wiped away by the fierce sword along with the last afterglow of Jianfeng Mountain's mountain-protecting formation.
In his final charge, there was no light or shadow.
No heroism is seen.
The only things left on Jianfeng Mountain are the scattered masterless divisions and the broken formation...
"Fengjie has become the realm of Qi!"
When Rong rushed to the chariot, Cao Jie said this.
At this moment, Yu Liyang has left, and the final attack of the five-stage Houde-carrying array has been wiped out.
The entire Jianfeng Mountain is already undefended.
The entire Fengjie Mansion and the twenty-three cities are under the hooves of the Qi army and before the sword!
The commander-in-chief of Faxia, who had just forced back King Min of Great Xia and defeated Jianfeng Mountain in less than a day, issued three more military orders...
The order said: "Order Chen Fu's troops to take over Jianfeng Mountain and avoid unnecessary casualties!"
He also ordered: "Instruct Li Zhengyan to lead his troops and attack the city while preserving their strength. Within three days, I will change the flag of the entire Fengjie Mansion! After three days, I will assemble the Zhufeng Army.
On the west bank of Lianjiang River. At that time, I will use the Wind Chasing Army as the vanguard to attack Xiangyou Mansion!"
He also ordered: "Call Chen Zeqing, Haosheng operates the intelligence." Min King Yu Liyang personally defended Jianfeng Mountain, sitting in a large formation with a strong army, and he did not hold it for a day. "I want to spread this news throughout Guiyi City in the shortest possible time.
Make women and children aware of it!"
After giving three consecutive orders, he turned around and walked into the Rong Chong Tower Car without looking at the battlefield. Although the flags were flying, although the crowds were surging, and although the blood and fire had not yet burned out, the war at this stage was already over.
It’s over…no need to look anymore.
The flag officers stationed around Rongchong quickly rode away on horseback and conveyed Cao Jie's orders to all parties.
Ruan Yuan, however, still stood behind the steel battlements with his arms folded, looking at the scattered and gathering clouds on the horizon.
Although he was not well versed in military strategism, he could still understand these orders from Cao Jiu. From these orders, he could see Cao Jiu's unparalleled confidence in this war!
It is not difficult at all to take over Jianfeng Mountain at this moment.
You can use any army.
However, Chen Fu, the court official, was a very measured and disciplined person. The county soldiers he commanded were certainly better disciplined than the allied forces of the Eastern Region. They were able to fulfill the order "Do not cause unnecessary casualties" very well.
The will reflected in this order is consistent with Cao Jie's second order.
Let the more elite Zhufeng Army capture the entire territory of Fengjie Mansion instead of letting the 300,000 county soldiers or the coalition forces of the Eastern Region countries do it... It is also because the Zhufeng Army, a powerful force in the world, has strict military discipline. In addition to the war itself,
I won't do anything like burning, killing or looting.
As for the requirement of "fighting fast while preserving strength", it was completely tailor-made for Li Zhengyan, the city-destroying lord who was good at running and fighting.
This can appease the mood of the coalition forces in the Eastern Region who cannot take credit.
After all, who can match Li Zhengyan’s speed in using troops?
But in fact... Jianfeng Mountain has not been defended for a day, and Yu Liyang has escaped. Who else in the entire Fengjie Mansion can hold on?
It sounds difficult to change the flag in three days, but in fact, even the coalition forces of the countries in the Eastern Region can do it.
He is the commander-in-chief of the three armies who coordinates the overall situation and takes into account all parties.
The reason why Cao Jie ordered this was simply because
This is a war to destroy the country and regain territory, not a war of plunder.
In Cao Cao's strategic thinking, he regarded the captured Xia territory as the Qi territory and the captured Xia people as the future Qi people. Therefore, he paid special attention to losses outside of war.
The entire Xia Kingdom that has been crippled will have to be filled by Qi State's resources after the war is over.
And how could such an idea not reflect Cao Jiu's self-confidence?
As for the third command...
Chen Zeqing has been in charge of the intelligence work of the Qi State for a long time and is very familiar with this matter. It is natural for him to be responsible for the intelligence related to this war.
The words passed by Cao Jirang are very interesting.
Every word said can be regarded as fact. There is no subjective opinion added, so it cannot be attacked as a rumor by the people of Xia.
But in fact, if only a corner of the reality is cut off, it will be completely different from the real appearance.
It completely obliterated the price Qi Jun paid for this, and also covered up Yu Liyang's trade-offs and sacrifices.
After winning the first battle, forcing Yu Liyang away and defeating Jianfeng Mountain in one day, Cao Jie certainly wanted to maximize the influence of public opinion.
Most people don't care how much force the Qi army used in the war, and they don't bother to think about the extent of losses caused by Qiu Sha's army attacking directly with the power of military formations... People will only notice that the capital of Daxia Min King was guarded.
If you can't defend Jianfeng Mountain, you won't be able to defend it for a day!
What a deep psychological shadow this will leave on the Xia people, and how much fear it will create?
If we simply measure the gains and losses of the war, it is actually difficult to say that today's battle at Jianfeng Mountain was an advantage. It is difficult to say that in half a month and the massive amounts of Yuanshi consumed by hundreds of Thorn Boats, the Qiu Kill Army entered a temporary rest.
Which one is the heavier price?
But for Cao Jie, the losses Xia suffered in this battle will have to wait and see later!
Cao Jiu decisively placed a heavy bet. Could this battle be fought right before his eyes?
Of course Yu Liyang could see this, but compared to the blow to the morale of Xia's soldiers, the loss of a true king was something Xia could not bear.
Cao Jie seems to have changed his style today and is taking risks. He is quite desperate, but in fact he is still playing a sure-win move!
The first time he saw Yu Liyang, he understood the outcome of the war, so he did not hesitate to place a bet! Bet! Bet!
At the moment when hundreds of thorn boats attacked and Jianfeng Mountain's defense line was riddled with holes, Yu Liyang was destined to suffer a loss.
The only suspense is how he will choose between the two evils...
Even this is not suspense.
Because everyone knows that we should "take the lighter approach!"
…
…
"Whoever surrenders will avoid death!"
Groups of county soldiers, led by generals, flew up to Jianfeng Mountain, and the flag officers accompanying them raised flags and shouted.
On the winding mountain road of Jianfeng Mountain, group after group of Xia soldiers surrendered and knelt down, disarming their troops and armour.
This mountain is very dangerous.
This army is strong and powerful.
But at this moment, there were not many Xia troops who were stubbornly resisting.
After all, they were the legends of the Great Xia Shenwu Era, representatives of national rejuvenation, dignified powerhouses of the Way, Min King Yu Liyang! They all escaped without saying a word...
Who can be stronger and more courageous than King Min?
The mountains outside the body are still there, but the mountains in the heart have fallen.
In this way, a massacre was avoided!
There was a man named Zhang Tai in the army who was from Fengxian County, Qi State, and had nothing to do with the "Zhang" who was once prominent.
Maybe there was some blood connection hundreds of years ago?
Who knows!
Anyway, the Fengxian Zhang family is gone.
After the original incident at the Crying Temple, the Ministry of Rites had officially announced that Jiu Hui Hou would be extinct.
The generation of famous families who accompanied Emperor Wu to establish the military honors of restoring the country and shared the glory with the Qi Dynasty disappeared. There is only a history book for future generations to pay tribute to.
Apart from the Jiuhui Hou family, there are no other prominent families in Fengxian County.
Zhang Tai's own family background is very average, that is, he can eat three meals a day and will not starve to death in Qi. As long as people are not lazy and have sound limbs, they will not be without food.
He joined the army at the age of sixteen. Because he was hard-working and daring to fight, although he was not very physically fit, he gradually became a qualified soldier. He served as a soldier in Fengxian County and defended Sangzi.
In the military selection five years ago, he failed to be selected as the ninth pawn, but because of his hard work on the field, he was promoted to team leader after returning. He was in charge of hundreds of people, and his life was enjoyable.
Last year, because his team achieved good results many times in joint military exercises between counties, he received a pulse-opening pill! At the end of last year, he successfully opened his pulse and became an extraordinary monk!
Life will never be the same again!
The doors of the Nine Soldiers of Daqi were opened for him. The Fengxian County Soldiers also offered him the position of Deputy Commander.
Originally he would not have hesitated.
After all, the Ninth Soldier was the place he longed for, the stage that every soldier of the Qi Dynasty yearned for. It was a brand new starting point, and it also represented an infinite future... But after so many years, he has an old father and a loving mother at home.
He is old and frail, and he is no longer the eighteen or nineteen-year-old self.
After much thought, he stayed in the county army. He was promoted to deputy capital commander, so he could take care of his old parents nearby. He also married a lovely wife a year ago, and his life was very comfortable.
His old Zhang family, who did not have any aristocratic blood, was considered to be well-known in the local area and lived a decent life.
This time the emperor launched a military expedition across the country, and he was the tenth member of the Fengxian County army to sign up.
Damn it, after getting the news, he went to sign up overnight, thinking he would be the first. The nine idiots in front of him actually rolled up their bedding and waited outside the door!
For an ordinary soldier in Qi State, what does war mean?
It means merit, it means official position, it means opportunity.
An opportunity to reach the sky in one step.
Not to mention, just how many people made extraordinary contributions to the victory of the previous Sun-Destroying War?
How many people jumped over the dragon gate?
He, Zhang Tai, and Vice-Capital, also want to obtain resources, soar into the sky, and try to experience the feeling of flying into the sky and escaping from the earth! How long will it take to accumulate merits through military exercises in peacetime?
What's more, his beloved wife is already overjoyed. Seeing that this battle is over, the child will be born. Doesn't he want to earn a pulse-opening pill for his unborn child? He will be immersed in mud and blood.
It took so much hard work to become extraordinary, and I spent so many years of youth in the army of the county soldiers that I felt intimidated when I saw the young faces in the army of nine soldiers.
Couldn't his future son or daughter be one step ahead?
Since the emperor came to the throne, the Qi State has won all the key wars, fought many battles along the way, and destroyed countless countries, only to achieve the foundation of being the hegemon of the Eastern Region.
Why are the people of Qi afraid of war?
Why is he not active?
Those non-military civilians who want to apply for the draft are unable to do so!
To be honest, he had never experienced the war thirty-two years ago. Moreover, Qi was the final winner and won the hegemony. He did not feel much about the so-called bloody feud with Xia.
The reason why he is happy to hear about the war is that the war can bring him real opportunities and tangible benefits. Now that he has died in the battle, a pulse-opening pill is indispensable for his family. A military attache like him,
If he is a hero, the county guard will come to visit him in person. He will benefit from fighting and die without worries.
The second is that as a Qi people, you have an innate sense of honor. Gu Yang has become the dust of history, and the towering tree of Qiangjing has long since begun to decay. As the youngest overlord in the world, it has to bear the weight of other overlords.
The pressure is on. Just like at the Yellow River, generations of Qi people fought to the death and finally won the title of leader. Qi people should conquer the world and not bow to anyone!
"Those who surrender will avoid death!"
Zhang Tai shouted like this, led his soldiers up the mountain, skillfully confiscated their weapons, drove the soldiers to one place, and concentrated them under guard.
Stepping among the rugged rocks, his eyes suddenly lit up.
In front of the sight, a young military attaché of the Xia Kingdom was lying on his back, his body falling on the rocks.
Judging from the lingering literary aura on his body, he should be a Confucian monk.
He probably died under the bombardment of the Autumn Killing Army Formation, and there was no penetrating injury caused by the Thorn Spear on his body. Thinking of the majesty of the Autumn Killing Army Formation, Zhang Tai couldn't help but feel a little envious.
But he immediately turned his attention to the corpse in front of him.
There was a piece of blood-soaked paper protruding from the cracked armor of this Xia military attache.
What is the practice of Xia Guojun? The secret technique of Confucianism?
No matter what, it is definitely a good thing. Even if it is not suitable for use, it can still be sold at a good price.
Zhang Tai was secretly happy.
The spoils of war must be handed over uniformly, and finally the generals above will uniformly calculate the merit and distribute them.
He didn't dare to keep it for himself. But as someone who picked it up with his own hands, he could also share some of the profit.
The advantage of picking it up for free!
He stepped forward, rushed to the dead military attache of Xia State, and carefully pulled out the piece of paper.
I opened it expectantly, and my face suddenly dropped.
This is not some secret magic, but a letter from home. The letter is short, but deeply creased. It must have been read many times.
"The text is my son.
The old man can still eat several cups, but the son should not think about it and kill the enemy!"
There are only two columns of characters, and they appear through the back of the paper.
Zhang Tai didn't have any unnecessary feelings, so he threw the letter away casually, then reached into the arms of the dead military attache of the Xia Kingdom and rummaged around for a while, but found nothing.
He closed his hand with some disappointment, got up and left.
But after walking a few steps, I somehow thought about it, turned around, and picked up the letter.
Of course he didn't mean there was any psychological burden.
The justice of a soldier is to kill the enemy and nothing else.
When the two countries are at war, it is not the turn of a grassroots military attache like him to talk about compassion. Everyone has a wife and children, and they all have their own trivial ideals and pursuits. They go to the battlefield and see life and death with swords and guns. No one needs to sympathize with anyone else.
He just saw another life in this letter.
As individuals, human beings are usually small. On the battlefield, they are often just numbers. But in every period of life, love and hate are so real...
My life, his life.
"Put down your weapons, surrender and avoid death!" Zhang Tai shouted again as he walked.
