There can only be one commander's flag, which represents the position of the commander-in-chief. The entire army must watch the commander's flag move and command operations.
In addition, there must be general flags, military order flags, etc.
There are many flags in an army, which is why the flags are flying densely during war. Each flag has a function.
On a battlefield where the sound of fighting is loud, it is impossible to convey a message by shouting, because everyone is shouting.
Soldiers need to follow the general's flag to charge and move, and generals need to look at the position of the general's flag and the military order flag to receive orders.
On the ancient battlefield, there were four major military merits.
Capture the flag, kill the general, trap the enemy, and ascend first. Among them, ascending first is the best.
Capture the flag refers to taking away the opponent's handsome flag. Once the handsome flag is lost, the opponent is basically defeated.
In this case, either the commander is dead. Even if the commander is not dead and the commander's flag is lost, he will no longer be able to command. The morale of the army will inevitably be in chaos, and naturally it will be impossible to continue fighting.
Back to the subject, at this time, Mingwu's eyes became brighter after hearing the word "Shuai Qi".
He strode up to the spy and said,
"Are you sure you read it correctly? Nie Chen's banner is among the 50,000 to 60,000 former troops?
What about the enemy's central rear army? "
"This... I don't know, I don't know. I didn't see the enemy's central army. I guess it was farther away.
Just send the vanguard to explore the way? "
"Okay, let's explore again and report again!"
"As you command!"
The spy immediately turned around and left.
Mingwu said excitedly,
"Great, great, hahaha, this idiot Nie Chen not only dares to fight with our army in the field, but also dares to personally lead the front army to explore the road. He really doesn't care about life and death. He deserves my great contribution.
Ren Jun doesn't need to come. Once I capture Nie Chen alive, I can go back to the capital to ask for credit from my father.
Come on, the whole army comes out of the camp to fight the enemy army and capture Nie Chen alive! "
"As you command!"
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"
An old counselor in his fifties stood up and said,
"Commander, don't be impulsive, be careful of traps!"
"What kind of trap can there be? The enemy has only 50,000 or 60,000 people, but our army of 200,000 people still can't defeat them?"
Mingwu said angrily.
The old man didn't give up. He had followed King Zhennan for many years and angrily yelled at Mingwu,
"Have you ever seen the commander of an army personally explore the route? There must be fraud! Maybe Nie Chen is not among the enemy troops at all, and they want to lure our army to attack!"
"You fart! Can the Great Banner be beaten randomly? Nie Chen is just brave and foolhardy, or to put it bluntly, stupid!
With four kings standing side by side and his father ascending the throne, he dared to go against the general trend of the world and support the Emperor of Feng Kingdom. Isn't this stupid?
Is it any wonder that such a fool would personally lead the former army to set up camp and provoke our army? "
The old man roared,
"How could Nie Chen bring the front army to attack us? How could their rear army be so far away from the front army!"
"What's so strange about that? We are also the former army and have already reached Hanzhong County. The 200,000 Chinese army are still in the capital. It's a full ten days' journey!
At this time, the enemy's central army was either still in the county or had just set off.
Nie Chen came here with 50,000 to 60,000 people. This opportunity must not come back again! When the enemy's central and rear troops arrive, how can we, 200,000 men, fight against the enemy's 300,000 men? "
"The commander-in-chief can fight if he wants, but he has to make sure that Nie Chen is actually there.
When I followed the emperor to attend the late emperor's longevity banquet, I was waiting outside the door and met Nie Chen.
After I go to see Nie Chen and confirm that he is there, if the commander wants to fight, I will never stop him.
On the contrary, if Nie Chen is not among the enemy troops and the enemy troops are flying his banner, then it is a fraud! "
"What the hell, are you the coach or am I the coach?"
Mingwu wished he could punch this old man to death.
"If the commander insists on fighting, I can't stop him, but I will report the truth to your majesty and ask your majesty to make a decision!"
"you……"
Mingwu pointed angrily at the old man, finally sighed heavily and sat back in his seat.
Although they did not send out troops, the enemy troops were coming soon. The soldiers and horses in the camp were still prepared, assembled, armed with weapons, and ready to fight at any time.
Another hour later, the Feng Army led by Nie Chen also arrived outside the Xiangyangpo Camp.
A spy rushed into the commander's tent and reported,
"Report! Report to the Commander-in-Chief, 50,000 soldiers are arrayed outside our camp. A tiger general is standing outside our camp. He is... cordially greeting you and your Majesty's ancestors."
The spies didn't dare to say that there was a man named Zhou An outside who was scolding Mingxuan's 18th generation ancestor. That was a crime of disrespect, so he could only use a more euphemistic wording.
"Damn it, I've never seen such an arrogant person in my life. Send my general's order to form an army of 200,000 people outside the camp. Let's go meet these enemy troops!"
Mingwu stood up, put on his helmet and walked out.
The old counselor immediately followed.
The Korean soldiers, who had already been prepared, immediately poured out of the camp along the gate of the camp, and lined up neatly under the leadership of their respective generals, with chariots in front and infantry behind.
After the army was in formation, Mingwu led everyone to fight on horseback and came to the front of the formation.
Looking up, I saw a general wearing a white robe and silver armor, holding a Fangtian painted halberd, and was cordially greeting Mingxuan's ancestors.
He not only greeted Mingxuan, but also cordially greeted these Korean soldiers as cowards, cowards, and bugs who did not dare to fight and only dared to be cowards.
After looking at it, the old counselor said,
"Commander, this person is Zhou An. I understand what Nie Chen is thinking. He wants to send Zhou An to provoke us, and then kill our generals and weaken the morale of our army.
No wonder he came here so impatiently. He wanted to take advantage of our army's unsteady footing to undermine our morale.
Hahaha, you little kid, this plan is useless! "
If Nie Chen heard this, he would definitely be stunned and stunned.
This old man is too good at making up his mind. If he can't guess the purpose, he just makes up one, right? I almost thought this was my purpose.
Mingwu snorted coldly,
"Hmph, it's just Zhou An, but Erer, I'm going to fight him personally. I want to see how much Zhou An, who is known as the strongest general in Gale, weighs."
Hearing this, the old counselor was dumbfounded.
No, are you so deaf? I already said it was the enemy's plan, why the hell are you rushing to kill someone?
"Commander, Commander, don't be impulsive. You are the commander-in-chief of the entire army. No one can defeat you, but you cannot.
If you make a mistake, our entire army will be doomed. That's Zhou An on the opposite side!
Commander, let's let Nie Chen speak out first, and then we can make a decision after I see it with my own eyes.
If Nie Chen is really here, wouldn't it be better for us to rush forward with our army and capture Nie Chen alive? Isn't Nie Chen more important than Zhou An? "
