Speaking of which, it was all because of the wind.
Although this statement is very ridiculous, it is true!
Li Hongbi listened in a daze and sighed secretly.
I have to admit that the dog emperor’s life is really good, even God is helping him!
It looked like he was about to be captured alive, but suddenly a strange wind blew and Li Jinglong's handsome flag was broken.
We must know that on ancient battlefields, the army used drums and trumpets to order soldiers to advance or stop, and flags were used to direct the soldiers' attack direction.
Therefore, capture the flag means that one's own army has successfully disrupted or disrupted the enemy's command system, causing the enemy's army to fall into chaos and achieve victory.
From another perspective, the soldiers went to the battlefield and were fighting bloody battles. Suddenly they saw their coach's flag fell. In the confusion, they could not go to seek verification. They could only subconsciously think that the coach was dead or... Escaped!
After losing their coach, the soldiers would definitely be panicked. They could only fight on their own without anyone under their command. The end result was that Zhu Di seized the opportunity to turn defeat into victory and abruptly reversed this fatal situation!
This is not nonsense that Li Jinglong is talking about!
The history books are so clearly recorded in detail!
It was that strange wind that helped Zhu Di reverse the situation and indirectly created a Yongle Emperor and a Yongle prosperous era!
Even if Li Hongbi is an atheist, he will inevitably have doubts when he hears the meaning here.
Is this really God's will?
Is King Yan Zhu Di the destined son appointed by God?
Otherwise, how could we explain the sudden gust of wind that accidentally broke Li Jinglong's handsome flag?
Li Hongbi is unknown.
The same is true for Zhu Di himself.
The other generals were lost in thought.
Almost all of them participated in the Battle of Baigouhe.
Thinking along Li Jinglong's train of thought at this moment, looking at the overall situation from Li Jinglong's perspective, they were surprised to find that Li Jinglong seemed to be not useless!
At least in the battle at Baigouhe, his performance as the head coach of the Southern Army could be said to be remarkable.
The three-sided siege plan was a stroke of genius, which once forced the Yan army generals into a desperate situation!
It's a pity that the last strange wind broke Li Jinglong's handsome flag and directly reversed the situation.
If they were in Li Jinglong's position, they would be furious, even so angry that they would vomit blood!
It’s hard to describe how you felt at that time when you fell short in your efforts, right?
From the looks of it, Li Jinglong is really not a waste, he is just a little... unlucky.
The eyes of the generals looking at Li Jinglong slowly changed from disdain to pity.
Li Jinglong stood proudly, faced the gazes of the generals, and spoke again.
"In the battle of Zhengcunba, I summed up the reason for the defeat, which was that I had too much trust in incompetent generals like Chen Hui, so I turned to the two talented generals Ping An and Qu Neng. The results achieved were extremely rich. Both of them killed Yan Jun soldiers many times, right?"
I have to admit that Li Jinglong's words are indeed irrefutable.
Ping'an and Qu Neng once killed the Yan army soldiers to the point where they were timid and fearful of fighting!
Qu Neng first showed his valor in the Battle of Peiping and bravely climbed the city. He once entered Zhangyi Gate and almost captured Peiping City directly. Then he took the lead in the Battle of Baigou River and led thousands of cavalry directly into the Yan army's formation. , almost captured Zhu Di alive.
As a result, a strange wind struck and helped Zhu Di turn things around. Instead, Qu Neng and his son fell into heavy siege, and were eventually killed by Zhu Gaoxu on the spot!
And Ping'an's military exploits are even more impressive. He repeatedly defeated Zhu Di in the Battle of Jingnan, defeated the Yan army repeatedly in Baigouhe, Shanjiaqiao, Yangcun and other places. He killed the Yan army's brave general Wang Zhen and several others, and defeated the Yan army. Seven generals including Fang Kuan, Chen Heng, Xue Lu, and Li Bin captured Xue Lu and even nearly stabbed Zhu Di to death twice. No one among the Yan generals dared to block his attack. They were famous for their great fame and countless military exploits!
Throughout the Jingnan Campaign, Zhu Di repeatedly fought against the Southern Army and was invincible. He was defeated only when facing Ping An and Sheng Yong.
Generally speaking, Ping An can be a commander and Qu Neng can be a general. They are both rare talents for generals!
As for Li Jinglong, the head coach of the Southern Army, aside from other things, he does have some sense of people. At least in terms of appointing Qu Neng and Ping An, he, Li Jinglong, really did the right thing!
"It's just that I didn't expect that a strange gust of wind would suddenly appear, directly breaking my command flag, causing the originally good battle situation to suddenly change!"
"I didn't even expect that the Yan Army general was so courageous and superb in martial arts that he immediately seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and personally led thousands of cavalry out of the enemy's rear to join forces with the Yan Army's elite cavalry who came to the rescue. When the soldiers were in one place, they took advantage of the wind and set fire, and the smoke and flames rose into the sky, killing my army until they threw away their armor and fled in defeat!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di sat up straight and his whole expression was shaken.
That's right, the general of the Southern Army who seized the opportunity to defeat the enemy with thousands of cavalry was none other than Zhu Di!
Li Jinglong's words touched an itch in Zhu Di's heart.
You must know that when generals march and fight these days, which one is not hiding behind to look at the overall situation and command the battlefield, and is protected by countless soldiers and horses.
But he, Zhu Di, is a different kind of person. He likes to personally lead his troops into battle!
In the Battle of Baigou River, he did the same thing. Seeing that the enemy army was in chaos because the commander's flag was suddenly broken by a strange wind, Zhu Di immediately led his powerful cavalry out of the enemy's rear and joined forces with Zhu Gaoxu's thousands of elite cavalry who came to rescue. He set fire to the place with the wind, and the smoke and flames rose into the sky. He directly launched a counterattack and killed Li Jinglong. He only killed Li Jinglong, who threw away his helmet and disarmed his armor and fled in defeat!
After Li Jinglong escaped, the soldiers of the Southern Army were without a leader for a while and were in chaos. They broke out and retreated.
During the battle of Baigou River, corpses were lying for dozens of miles on both sides of the river. Broken halberds and broken soldiers were scattered all over the fields, and the river water was dyed red with blood.
It can be said that the reason why the Yan army was able to win was firstly because of the strange wind, and secondly because of Zhu Di himself!
When he thought of this, Zhu Di waved his hands and said with a red smile: "Ai Qing, you are serious!"
"My situation at that time was also extremely dangerous. My horse was dead and my sword was broken. I retreated continuously. I was even killed by Qu Neng and I rode my horse around the dike to escape..."
Zhu Di took the initiative to say this, which immediately caused the generals to burst into laughter.
The originally solemn atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.
Li Hongbi burst into laughter.
In the past there was Zhao Guangyi, the "Gaoliang River Car God", and now Zhu Laosi, the "River Horse God", the history is really interesting!
Li Jinglong seemed to be standing proudly, as calm as an old dog on the surface, but in fact he was panicking inside.
He had been quietly observing Zhu Di's face, and now he was surprised to find that Zhu Di was not angry, but very happy, and for the first time, he called himself "Aiqing"!
Hongbi my son, you have been right again!
It turns out that His Majesty the Emperor really likes this tune!
Li Jinglong also became excited when he thought of this.
Today, I, Li Jinglong, want to clear my name!
"Your Majesty, the Southern Army did lose this battle, but I, Li Jinglong, did not lose!"
"Afterwards, I have been thinking about why that strange wind suddenly blew, and why it happened to snap my handsome flag so coincidentally?"
"After much thought, I can only come up with one answer, and there is only one reasonable explanation."
Li Jinglong's words whetted everyone's appetite. Even Zhu Di asked curiously: "What explanation did Aiqing think of?"
"This is God's will. The king's spirit is in Yan. God's will is like this, and I cannot violate it!"
Li Jinglong looked disappointed.
"I asked myself whether I made any mistakes in setting up the formation for this battle, but in the end I lost to Your Majesty and God's will. I did not lose this battle unjustly!"
Zhu Di laughed endlessly when he heard this and stroked his long beard proudly.
"Okay, stop flattering me!"
"You, Li Jinglong, do have some real abilities, but you lack some improvisation. The battlefield will always be full of variables. All generals should take this as a warning!"
"Sit back quickly and continue drinking. It's rare that I'm so happy today. I'll make sure I don't get drunk anymore!"
