It has to be said that the defenders of Xiangyang City were really tenacious. Even though there were only less than 10,000 people, they still managed to defend until the sun was about to rise.
But as allied soldiers climbed onto the city tower one after another, Xiangyang City... was finally broken.
When the green flag at the top of the city was replaced by the red flag symbolizing the coalition forces, Nie Yun still couldn't believe it.
Just win?
Even from Lin Guo's point of view, the base camp was stolen and the main force was contained. It was indeed a desperate situation.
But he is Zhao Gou, Blood Pagoda Zhao Gou! Even if he loses, he cannot lose so silently.
But if the coalition forces completely enter this city, even if the army returns to defend at this time, it will be doomed to be useless.
Wait! A flash of light suddenly flashed in Nie Yun's mind and he shouted: "Jiang Lei!"
"The general is here!" Jiang Lei quickly ran to the tent.
"Send the order, quickly reorganize the troops, strictly observe military discipline, and march into the city uniformly!"
The coalition forces have just won a great victory. At this time, military discipline must be loose and the spirit must be relaxed. They can't wait to enter the city to harvest the fruits of victory and search for treasures. If chaos occurs at this time, the coalition forces will be defeated thousands of miles away! This is Zhao Gou's last move.
Opportunity!
"But several generals have already led their troops into the city!" Jiang Lei showed a hint of helplessness on his face, but he did not show any other emotions. It is normal for the soldiers to vent after winning.
"What! Who allowed them to enter the city privately!" A trace of anger flashed across Nie Yun's face, but he quickly suppressed it. Anger could not solve any problem, and then said: "You quickly notify the generals and ask them to collect them quickly.
Gather your troops, enforce strict military discipline, and be ready for battle. The remaining soldiers who have not entered the city will be under my direct command, so hurry up!"
Although Jiang Lei didn't understand why, he looked at Nie Yun's face and took the order and walked out quickly.
Nie Yun quickly arrived outside the camp and found that only the 50,000 people who had stayed on guard before had not entered the city, and these 50,000 people were also eager to go into the city at this time.
"Senior sister, Xiao Xue and Zhao Xin and Tang Yuan, please quickly rectify military discipline and impose martial law throughout the army!" Nie Yun shouted immediately when he saw senior sister and the others.
Since ordinary generals did not know him as the coach, they could only rely on them to give orders.
"Ah, we have won the battle, why should we enforce strict rules?" Tang Yuan asked naively: "Get ready to celebrate!"
"Congratulations on your size, hurry up!" Nie Yun said eagerly.
Fortunately, Han Yue and Xiao Xue still believed in him, and each commanded the troops to gather together. The gathered troops were also a little dissatisfied, muttering: "Why do they have to go in and enjoy themselves, why should we be so strict?"
At the same time, Jiang Lei's order also arrived in front of the generals. They were all a little baffled. You have already defeated them, and you still do this. What do you mean? When asked, Jiang Lei couldn't figure out the reason.
Then I thought that you, the coach, were also temporarily introduced by us. Now that we have finished the battle and won, who will recognize you? You didn't do anything this time. Whoever wants to recognize you will recognize you, and then he threw the order aside.
At this moment, a "tap, tap, tap" sound suddenly came from the distance, like thunder. Looking in the direction, it looked like a black cloud rushing towards Xiangyang City.
At first it was just a blur, but in the blink of an eye it had already rushed to the front of the city.
"Kill!" I saw the leading silver-armored general raising his sword high above his head, yelling angrily, and tens of thousands of cavalry swarmed over.

"What happened?"
"The Lin people are back!"
Because even if Nie Yun integrated and gathered together, these 50,000 troops could still clearly know what was going on, but the coalition forces that were entering the city in chaos were not so lucky.
"what happened?"
"I do not know?"
Suddenly a person shouted: "The Lin people are back, run away!"
In an instant, the chaos intensified, and everyone rushed towards the city gate in a panic.
"Block them from me!" Nie Yun roared.
He has already seen that Zhao Gou has brought tens of thousands of cavalry at most at this time, and the large army is still in a stalemate with Qi. As long as they survive this period of time and allow the city time to clean up the chaos, they will still win!
"Whoa!" In just a moment, the loose military formation that Nie Yun had finally gathered was broken through.
As soon as the military formation was broken, 50,000 people instantly dispersed into a beach of sand, and were slaughtered mercilessly by the cavalry led by Zhao Gou. Yes, it was a massacre! But Zhao Gou seemed to have spared the five of them on purpose, and the war horses jumped from them.
It whizzed past, kicking up waves of yellow sand that smelled of blood.
As these 50,000 people began to scatter and flee into the city, the situation suddenly became uncontrollable.
Escape, chaos, trampling!
The tens of thousands of cavalrymen killed the coalition forces of hundreds of thousands, just like a few hungry wolves among the sheep, harvesting lives wantonly.
"Still not in time..." Nie Yun did not try to control and integrate the remaining coalition forces at this time. Instead, he sighed silently, looked at Han Yue and Xiao Xue on the side and smiled bitterly: "Jiang is still old.
So spicy..."
Tang Yuan sat helplessly on the ground and lamented: "Hey, I should have listened to you."
Zhao Xin didn't speak, sitting silently next to Tang Yuan, quietly waiting for failure to come, but the ups and downs of his mood at this moment could still be faintly seen in his eyes.
Going from a great victory to a great defeat, falling from the clouds and mist into the abyss, the feeling cannot be explained by outsiders.
The five people squatted on the ground in defeat, watching Yin Kai transform into blood armor, feeling a sour feeling of failure that was rare for them.
As the dazzling red light flashed again, when I opened my eyes again, I saw the familiar sandy land, the red formation flag, the familiar classmates around me, and... Mr. Zhao Gou with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
.
"That's it?" At this moment, for these freshmen, these two words seemed to be more powerful than any sword, gun, sword and halberd. Many of them were filled with blood and silently lowered their heads, shameless to look at Zhao Gou again.
Thirty thousand cavalry defeated their 300,000-strong coalition, and it was almost a one-sided massacre! The few casualties were suffered by the 50,000-man army that Nie Yun had finally organized.
"Come back to the classroom with me." Zhao Gou said calmly, putting away the sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Everyone said nothing and just followed behind silently.
Soon everyone returned to the war class classroom. Zhao Gou looked at the people who were either depressed, distressed or blushing. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, but it quickly disappeared.
The same environment, the same place, the same people, but the mood is completely different.
Before that, they were a bunch of pretentious freshmen who had high aspirations and could only "talk on the sand" but were pretentious. After this incident, they were students who were down-to-earth and learned with an open mind.

Zhao Gou did not continue to use this military exercise to attack them, but opened the lid of the podium, revealing a huge sand table and said calmly: "Review is a required course in our war class."
"Now let's review the process of the military exercise just now."
"Who was the coach just now? Come and review it with me." Zhao Gou was also a little curious about the identity of the coach. In the original plan, they were split into pieces. He could lead the cavalry to defeat them one by one easily.
, even if they were forced to join forces in the end, it would be nothing more than a loose alliance that broke up if everyone was in danger, and there was no need to adopt such a risky strategy.
What's more, it's not easy to make these arrogant freshmen bow down and be petty, even if it's just temporary... Didn't you see that he himself came and staged a big show for this?
Nie Yun stood up silently, walked to the sand table and said respectfully: "Master Zhao, my name is Nie Yun."
"First, explain the direction of the battle from your perspective." Zhao Gou said with a smile.
"First of all, we received intelligence that the main force of the Lin Army and the Qi Army were in a stalemate and were unable to return to defend Xiangyang. However, in order to prevent accidents, I chose to accelerate the march while ensuring our full combat effectiveness..."
"When we finally successfully captured Xiangyang, I suddenly realized that this would be your last chance. Although I don't rule out other means you have, in my opinion, the chaos when entering the city is your last chance. I
I immediately ordered the deputy general to pass on the news to the students to prepare for war immediately, but they didn't seem to receive it. I went over with my senior sister, Xiao Xue, Zhao Xin, and Tang Yuan to rectify the 50,000 troops that had not yet entered the city.
It’s a pity that we still couldn’t make it in time.”
Nie Yun sighed when he said this. This feeling of missing a move made him very helpless.
"Haha, you did a great job." A strange color flashed in Zhao Gou's eyes, and then he laughed and said, "Let me ask you if you have received this instruction."
Seeing many people lowering their heads in shame, Zhao Gou looked at Nie Yundun with a hint of understanding: "It seems that you are not a very prestigious coach."
"Indeed." Nie Yun shrugged helplessly and said, "But if I could understand your intentions earlier, I think they would also obey your orders."
Zhao Kuo smiled and said nothing, but their heads lowered, almost touching the table.
"Actually, you all should have understood the moment I appeared, but I still want to explain my combat ideas." Zhao Kuo's voice was still so rough that it was hard to imagine him strategizing.
"I will leave the main force in Qi State to confuse you, and I will use the mobility of the cavalry to detour to Xiao County in the southwest of Xiangyang. I will wait for you to win and break the city. When the chaos is overwhelming, I will succeed in a sneak attack."
"The reason why I attacked you after your victory instead of attacking during your siege is because the moment of victory is also the moment when you are the most relaxed and lazy, and the soldiers who have just completed a siege are also the most exhausted at this time.
time, and deliberately stirred up noise during the attack, causing confusion among the coalition forces, and killing the enemy to the maximum extent possible."
"But frankly speaking, it is a bit risky to do so." Zhao Kuo did not shy away from talking about the loopholes in his tactics: "As Nie Yun said, maybe if he had understood my intentions a moment earlier, I would have done it in the end.
We can only turn around and attack Qi State, and then come back for a decisive battle with the coalition forces."
Zhao Kuo said it modestly, but everyone here knows that winning a battle with fewer enemies and more battles is 30% luck and 70% strength. If anyone were to fall into this situation, who would dare to say that they can do it?
