As the commander-in-chief of the Beiyou Army, Ling Ning's bravery can inspire the morale of the army and boost morale, making the soldiers more brave and warlike.
On the other hand, the morale of Suizhou soldiers was low and their combat effectiveness collapsed.
As the soldiers of the Beiyou Army shouted "Those who surrender will not be killed", when the first Suizhou Army soldier dropped his weapon and chose to surrender, countless Suizhou Army followed suit. This was a devastating defeat.
It’s not that it’s bad to continue fighting, but it’s more cost-effective to surrender.
Zheng Yichuan almost vomited blood when he saw this scene.
After painstaking efforts and exhausting work, he built a solid fortification defense in Yingzui Stream. He only waited for the rebels to attack and severely damaged the rebel army. He made great military exploits and became famous in one battle. He never expected that he would end up like this.
"I'm not willing to give in!"
Zheng Yichuan was filled with resentment, but had no choice but to retreat with his undisturbed troops. There were still more than 10,000 troops here. As long as they retreated to Suizhou City, they would still be able to fight with the towering walls of Suizhou City.
If we don't leave now, there is only the risk of the entire army being destroyed.
But how could Ling Ning let Zheng Yichuan escape?
He personally went into battle to kill the enemy just to keep Zheng Yichuan.
Therefore, Ling Ning led Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Wang Chao and others to lead a large army to bite the retreating Zheng Yichuan and prevent him from escaping back to Suizhou City.
One of the two sides fled, the other chased, and soon left the Yingzui Stream area.
Ling Ning's army kept biting each other and biting off each other's flesh.
Ling Ning's attitude is very determined. He will pursue you relentlessly to see how long you can escape.
At this time, one of Zheng Yichuan's generals had an idea.
If you follow Zheng Yichuan, you may not be able to escape back to Suizhou City. If you can't escape, you will definitely be killed by Ling Ning's army. Even if you surrender, it may not be useful.
Even if they escape from Suizhou City, with the remaining troops, it will be a dead end.
As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to roost in, so why not find a new owner?
Besides, it's not too late to surrender now.
Thinking of this, General Pian called his confidants, the Captain and the Colonel, for a brief discussion, they hit it off immediately and made up their minds immediately.
Ever since,
The general took advantage of Zheng Yichuan's unpreparedness and shot Zheng Yichuan off his horse with an arrow. At the same time, he shouted: "Brothers, don't follow Zheng Yichuan to escape. The king of Beidi County is kind to us in Suizhou. Why not abandon the secret and surrender to the light and submit to Beidi County directly?" king?"
Most of the soldiers thought briefly and immediately decided to surrender.
However, Zheng Yichuan's trusted soldiers were unwilling to surrender and immediately took action to kill the general and others who had fired the cold arrow.
For a time, the Suizhou army started fighting among themselves.
During this delay, Ling Ning led the Beiyou Army to pursue them, directly surrounded them, and killed all the resisting Suizhou Army without leaving any one behind.
"The villain Zhou Xiaodao pays homage to the Prince of Beidi! It was Zheng Yichuan who was shot by the villain when he abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side!" The lieutenant general who shot Lengjian hurriedly reported to express his loyalty.
Ling Ning looked at the lieutenant. He didn't like the villain who betrayed the general, but his betrayal saved Ling Ning from pursuing him, so he said: "Zhou Xiaodao, right? If you set a heavy reward, I will surely get a heavy reward." . And for other soldiers who take the initiative to surrender, you will also be heavily rewarded."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhou Xiaodao and the other soldiers were overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
Then, Ling Ning looked at Zheng Yichuan's trusted soldiers. They were still resisting, so Ling Ning immediately ordered them to be eradicated.
As the screams continued, Zheng Yichuan's trusted soldiers were all dealt with, leaving no one behind.
Ling Ning dismounted and came to Zheng Yichuan.
Zheng Yichuan was seen lying on the ground, no longer breathing.
Zhou Xiaodao's arrow hit him right in the back of his heart, killing him with one arrow.
The veteran who had been on the battlefield for most of his life was finally killed by a secret arrow by his subordinate general. This ending is disappointing.
But this is the battlefield.
…
In the battle at Yingzui Stream, more than 10,000 enemy troops were killed and more than 20,000 were captured. The remaining Suizhou troops fled in all directions.
The total casualties on Ling Ning's side were only over 6,000. Adding in the casualties from the last confrontation with Li Chongfeng's army, the casualties totaled 20,000.
In this expedition, Ling Ning led 90,000 people, and now there are 20,000 casualties. It seems to be a lot of casualties. After all, this is the first state and there are such large casualties. How can we fight in the following states?
This is what many people think.
But for Ling Ning, the more than 20,000 captured Suizhou troops were enough to make up for the casualties.
Secondly, there are still more than 20,000 advent warriors in his system who have not yet arrived. There were also 18,000 surrendered soldiers whom Li Chongfeng took away.
What's more, the number of casualties is the sum of injuries and deaths. Many injured soldiers recovered from their injuries and can still fight.
Therefore, Ling Ning's troops are not getting smaller the more he fights, but he has more troops.
Ling Ning ordered the battlefield to be cleaned and rested for two days before the army set off and marched towards Suizhou City.
Soon, news of Zheng Yichuan's defeat spread throughout Suizhou.
The common people have all received kindness from the king of Beidi County. If Ling Xingshuang had not repelled the Great Chen Kingdom and regained Suizhou, the people of Suizhou would still be living in dire straits.
So the people support Ling Ning.
Only those wealthy families and aristocratic families were terrified, because they knew very well what would happen to the wealthy families headed by the Qi family in Yanzhou.
Over the years, none of these aristocratic families have been vampires. They have sucked the people's fat and oil, squeezed the people, and committed many crimes.
Therefore, some evil-doing aristocratic families simply moved their families and fled before Ling Ning's army came to kill them, even leaving the family property behind.
Those who escaped early fled, and those families who were still observing, or who did not want to escape or give up their family heritage, no longer had the chance to escape.
Because Ling Ning has already led the army, there is only one day left from Suizhou City!
…
The Qi family is the number one family in Yanzhou, and the Wang family is the number one family in Suizhou.
There is no relationship between the Suizhou Wang family and the Kyoto Wang family. Even if there is a relationship, I'm afraid we have to trace it back to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period.
But in Suizhou, the Wang family is definitely a local snake.
Facing the impending arrival of Ling Ning, the palace was filled with depression.
Wang Xianchun, the head of the Wang family, sat at the top, and the direct members of the family sat down below.
"The Prince of Beidi County will arrive in Suizhou City tomorrow. I invite you all to come here today to discuss countermeasures." Wang Xianchun said in a deep voice.
The reason why the Wang family is facing a formidable enemy is not because the Wang family is the number one in Suizhou, but because Wang Xianchun's sister is married to Qifengtang.
In other words, Ling Ning killed Wang Xianchun's sister and brother-in-law. Given this relationship, it was destined that Ling Ning would not have a good attitude towards the Wang family.
Even if the Wang family does not want to be enemies with Ling Ning, Ling Ning will not trust the Wang family and will treat the Wang family as a hidden danger.
The best way to prevent hidden dangers from becoming dangerous is to deal with them.
Hearing Wang Xianchun's words, the direct members of the Wang family in the hall looked solemn.
One person said: "How about leaving Suizhou City with the whole family temporarily?"
"No! Our industry is centered on Suizhou City. Once we leave, the losses will be immeasurable, and it's too late now." Wang Xianchun said.
Another person said: "They say that Yanzhou is short of food. How about we give all the food in our hands to Ling Ning, as well as gold, silver and jewelry!"
As soon as this was said, some people nodded in agreement.
Before Wang Xianchun could speak, a young man said coldly: "Ling Ning destroyed the Wang family, the food, gold and silver still belong to him!"
All the direct members of the Wang family present were middle-aged, except for this young man.
And at this time, he looked cold and arrogant, but the elders present were not angry, just because this young man was Wang Xianchun's eldest son, and he was a child prodigy recognized since childhood.
His name is Wang Teng.
He has the appearance of a prince.
