Yu Liyang couldn't even look closely at Marquis Jing'an's final charge, trying to escape before being locked up.
However, Chongxuan Chu Liang paused deliberately, narrowed 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 at this, he raised the knife. The knife that divided the world and cut the life span was just lightly touched 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 strength of the military formation, the killing power that Zhongxuan Chu Liang can exert is definitely at the level of a true king.
Just the fact of 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 to complete...
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 the army to retreat. The Qiu Killing Army must share its share of the merits. The next thing has nothing to do with him for the time being.
One hundred thousand troops surged freely across the vast land like water. 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 Ji Tu's knife along with the last remaining light of Jianfeng Mountain's mountain protection formation.
In his final charge, there was no light or shadow.
No heroism.
The only things left on Jianfeng Mountain are the scattered masterless troops and the broken formation...
"Fengjie has become the realm of Qi!"
When Rong Chong was on the chariot, Cao Jie said the same thing.
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 all under the hooves of the Qi army and in front of the sword!
The commander 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: "I sent an order to 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!"
Another order said: "Call Chen Zeqing, Haosheng operates the intelligence." King Min Yu Liyang personally defended Jianfeng Mountain, sitting in a large formation with strong troops, 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 Rong Chonglou's car without looking at the battlefield again. Although the flags are flying, although the crowds are surging, although the blood and fire have not yet burned out, this stage of the war is over... No need to look any further.
The flag officers guarding Rongchong quickly rode away and spread 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 Du. From these orders, we can see Cao Jie'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 man, and the county soldiers he commanded were certainly better disciplined than the allied forces of the Eastern Region. Able to fulfill the command "Don't 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... This is also because the Zhufeng Army, a powerful force in the world, has strict military discipline. Outside of the war itself, there will be no 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 was not defended for a day, and Yu Liyang fled. Who else in the entire Fengjie Mansion could 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 armed forces 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 Jie's strategic thinking, he regarded the conquered Xia territory as Qi territory. Treat the captured Xia people as future Qi people. That's why we pay 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 Qi State's intelligence work for a long time and is very comfortable with this aspect. It is also logical 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 Xia people.
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 Jiu 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 is 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 advantageous. It is difficult to say that in half a month, with the massive amount 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!
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 and placed his bet without hesitation! Place your bet! Place your 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, "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 solid and dangerous.
This army is strong.
But there are not many Xia troops who are stubbornly resisting at this moment.
After all, they are the legend of the Great Xia Shenwu Era, the representative figure of national rejuvenation, the dignified Taoist powerhouse, Min King Yu Liyang! They all ran away without saying a word...
Who could 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 of 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 crying temple incident, the Ministry of Rites had officially announced that Jiu Huihou had no heirs.
The famous family that accompanied Emperor Wu to establish the military honors of restoring the country and shared the glory with Daqi disappeared. There is only a history book for future generations to pay tribute to.
Apart from the lineage of Jiuhui Hou, 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 State, 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, he gradually became a qualified soldier even though he was not very physically fit. He was a soldier of Fengxian County and guarded Sangzi.
In the military selection five years ago, he failed to be selected into the ninth pawn, but because of his hard work on the field, he was promoted to captain after returning. With a hundred people in charge, life was enjoyable.
Last year, because his team achieved good results many times in joint military exercises between counties, they 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!
All the doors of Da Qi's nine soldiers were opened for him. The Fengxian County soldiers also gave him the position of deputy commander.
Originally he would not have hesitated.
After all, the Ninth Soldier was the place where he longed for, the stage that every soldier of the Qi Dynasty longed for. That was a brand new starting point, and it also represented an infinite future... But after so many years, he had an old father and a loving mother at home, both of whom were old and frail, and he was no longer the same eighteen or nineteen-year-old self.
After thinking about it, he stayed in the county soldiers. After being promoted to Deputy Governor, he can take care of his old parents nearby. He also married a lovely wife a year ago, and his life is 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 signed up overnight, thinking he would be the first. The nine idiots in front of me were packed up and waiting outside the door!
What does war mean to an ordinary soldier in Qi State?
It means meritorious service, official position, and 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 Zhang Vice-Capital, also want to obtain resources, soar into the dragon, and try the feeling of flying into the sky and escaping from the earth! If you rely on military exercises during peacetime to achieve success, how long will it last?
What's more, my beloved wife is already very happy. When this battle is over, the child will be born. Doesn't he want to earn a pulse-opening pill for his unborn child? I waded through mud and blood, how hard it was to become extraordinary, and spent so many years of youth in the county soldiers, that I was intimidated when I saw the young faces in the 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 the hegemony 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 battle thirty-two years ago. And Qi was the final winner and won the hegemony. He didn't 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 personal real opportunities and tangible benefits. He died in battle now, and a pulse-opening pill is indispensable for his family. If a military attache like him is heroic, the county guard will personally visit him to question him. He fights with benefit and dies without worries.
The second is the innate sense of honor as a Qi person. Gu Yang has become the dust of history, and the towering tree of Qiangjing has also begun to decay long ago. As the youngest hegemon in the world, it has stepped forward despite the pressure from other hegemons. Just like on the Yellow River, generations of Qi people fought to the death and finally won the title of leader. The people of Qi should conquer the world and not bow to anyone!
"Those who surrender will avoid death!"
Zhang Tai shouted like this, led his soldiers to climb the mountain, skillfully collected their weapons, drove the soldiers to one place, and concentrated on guarding them.
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 were no penetrating wounds 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 attaché.
Practicing Dharma in the Xia Kingdom's army? The secret technique of Confucianism?
Regardless, it's definitely good stuff. Even if it is not suitable for use, it can still be sold for a good price.
Zhang Tai was secretly happy.
The spoils of war must be handed over uniformly, and finally the generals above will calculate and distribute the merits.
He didn't dare to keep it for himself. But as someone who picked it up with his own hands, he can also share some of the benefits.
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 paper.
I opened it expectantly, and my face suddenly fell.
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 words, and each word can be seen through the back of the paper.
Zhang Tai didn't have any unnecessary feelings. He threw the letter away casually, then reached into the arms of the dead military attaché of Xia State and searched for a while, but found nothing.
He closed his hand with some disappointment, got up and left.
But after taking a few steps, I somehow thought about it, turned around, and picked up the letter.
Of course he didn't mean that 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. We all have wives and children, and we all have our own trivial ideals and pursuits. We 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.
Human beings, as individuals, are usually small. On the battlefield, it's more 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.
