Chapter 805: The Battle of Jingnan (Part 2)

Chen Changfu pulled his bow, squinted his eyes, held his breath for a moment, and the feather arrow broke out from the string.

The flying banner of the word "Daily" falls leisurely.

Then three arrows flew towards the somewhat devastated general who was originally standing under the banner. His armor was so conspicuous and unique that you would know how unique he was just by looking at it.

This person is Dai Chao, commander of Liang Jun.

The souls of the personal soldiers around Dai Chao were all exposed. Some of them stood in front of Dai Chao, while others pulled Dai Chao off the horse. Dai Chao was like a patient who had lost his soul, allowing his personal soldiers to do it without any response.

"Dai Chao is dead!"

"Dai Chao is dead!"

On the battlefield, the soldiers in Jingnan cheered and shook the clouds. Liang Jun, who could not support him, turned around and saw that the flag of the central army was gone. The team that was supposed to be above the central army was empty. With the eyes, they could only see a team of cavalry fleeing to the distance in a mess.

On the battlefield, Liang Jun completely collapsed.

The Liang army outside the city was attacked by Jingnan soldiers and Tian Guofeng, and was defeated. At this time, He Zhang and Cai Quan, who were trapped in the city, were unable to withdraw from the city.

Because the city gate had been blocked by the people of Jingnan long ago, they climbed a ladder to attack outside the city. If they wanted to get out, they could only follow the original path. The city gate blocked by soil and rocks could not be cleared out in just a few days.

On the other hand, the Liang army who entered the city thought that the victory was in his grasp and had completely broken up and lost the most basic system. After He Zhang and Cai Quan learned the news, they tried their best and only gathered a small number of troops. However, they were trapped in a hard battle with the Jingnan Army.

The Jingnan Army in the city commanded by Bai Qian and Bai Minzhong's troops returned to the city, launched a counterattack against the Liang army in the city.

Outside the city, Dai Chao fled in a panic with only more than a hundred cavalrymen to Dangyang. A cavalry under Tian Guofeng was chased by them and chased them wildly.

This can no longer be described as a crushing defeat.

This is the complete destruction of the entire army.

All the 50,000 Liang troops were trapped under Jiangling Prefecture City.

Ding Jian's steps were a little weak, walking on the battlefield full of corpses, one foot deep and one foot shallow. The armor leaves on his body swung with his pace. Every time he swung, blood would drop down. His helmet was gone. A scalp was also peeled off in the center of his head. With blood on his face, he could not see his usual romantic charm, but instead he was like an evil ghost crawling out of the Nine Nether Hell.

Tian Guofu's army was still encircling the Liang army that was fighting stubbornly. Bai Minzhong brought the remaining troops back to the city to kill the enemy troops in the city. In the city, the battlefield was basically cleared by some slightly wounded soldiers. Even though blood was still flowing on their bodies, these soldiers tried their best to search among the piles of corpses.

From time to time, howling sounds came, calling dads and calling out to others, making people unable to bear to listen. The main force in Jingnan is composed of two private soldiers of Ding Bai family. Basically, fathers, sons and brothers are all working together in the army. At this time, countless people lost their sons, fathers, and brothers.

There were also cheers, and the injured survivor was found from the pile of corpses.

Ding Jian walked a little bit buzzy. He saw a soldier gritting his teeth and slashing at some injured and unable to move Liang soldiers, but he had no intention or strength to stop him.

The soldiers need to vent, and stopping at this time is useless at all.

Human life is like grass!

Ding Jian sighed in his heart.

"Young Master, Ding Xiong is gone!" A familiar voice came from his ears. Ding Jian suddenly turned his head and, in front of his left, Ding Weiji, who was also covered in blood, was sitting on the ground, holding a person in his arms, crying loudly.

He hurried two steps, walked to Ding Wei, squatted down, looked at Ding Xiong in Ding Wei's arms, with a half-cut knife inserted into his stomach, and a knife cut off his entire neck almost cutting off his entire neck, leaving only a little bit of flesh and blood still connected. Ding Xiong's eyes were wide open, and he was holding a short spear tightly in his hand.

Ding Jian suddenly burst into tears.

Ding Xiong and Ding Wei followed him all the way from Jingnan to travel all over the world. They took about ten years to go back to their hometown, but they died here less than half a year later.

Wu Ke is dead, too.

The big leader of the inner guard leaned forward with the spear in his hand. The tip of the spear penetrated deeply into the chest of a Liang army general in front of him, and at least three spears were inserted into his body. It was these three spears that supported his body to stand firm.

Less than twenty of his inner guards were standing beside him at this moment, stroking his right hand with his left chest, and bowing his head and silently reciting the oath in unison.

That was their oath to join the club when they joined the Yixing Society.

Generals such as Wu Ke, Ding Wei, and Ding Xiong led the most powerful group of people in the Jingnan army. They entered the enemy's deepest formation and encountered the strongest opponents, so they suffered the most casualties.

Jingnanjie Town did win this battle, but it can only be said to be a tragic victory. The private soldiers of the Ding family, the Bai family and other major families were almost completely wiped out. It is basically impossible to restore the grand occasion of the past.

Ding Ci was stunned to be on the top of the city, looking at Ding Jian who was staggering towards him, and said with a wry smile: "Son, Jing Nan won, but Jing Nan will never be able to return to the past."

Ding Jian walked over and pressed his hands on the top of the city, but his eyes became more and more determined, "Father, Jingnan won, Jingnan will be better than before. The sacrifices he made in front of him are worth it in the overall situation. You have never seen the situation in the north, but I have seen it and participated in it personally. Jingnan will be more prosperous in the future than now."

"But that, is it still related to the Ding family?" Ding Ci sighed.

"We have lost a lot, but we will get more." Ding Jian said: "The times are changing. If Ding does not catch up with the trend of the times, he will inevitably be trampled on the ground by the times. Li Xiang's words make sense. No one can go against the trend. The world has been in chaos for too long. Everyone is looking forward to the arrival of an era of long-term stability. And the dawn before this era is always the darkest. But when the darkness passes, the sunshine, rain and dew will shine on the earth."

"But what should Ding do?"

Ding Jian smiled slightly: "After everything settles down, my father might as well go to Wuyi and walk around the north. After a look, he will understand what the Ding family will do next. Of course, the local emperor in Jingnan cannot be done, but the Ding family will also enjoy wealth and prosperity for at least three generations because of this battle. We have shed blood and made great sacrifices for the arrival of the new era, which is different from many other people. Those people can live like fish under the rule of Li Xiang, and those of our Ding family will only live better."

"I hope what you said is true." Ding Ci took a deep breath: "After everything is settled, or your father-in-law and I should go to Wuyi to visit the Li Xiang who convinced you. Jingnan will be entrusted to you. I think you have already had a complete plan for how to change Jingnan, right?"

Ding Jian nodded: "We are already familiar with these things. My father should not be reluctant to let go of them at that time. We must take out what we should take out. Of course, the compensation will be extremely generous."

"Compensation?" Ding Ci sighed.

"Father, according to the wind that Li Xiang gave me before I came, after this battle, my father-in-law will be given the title of at least one prince, and you will also be given the title of a marquis." Ding Jian said: "The major families in Jingnan can get a total of 100 opportunities to enter Wuwei Academy without examination. Do you know what this means? This means that there will be 100 people in Jingnan who will enter the governance system of the Tang Dynasty in the next few years."

Ding Ci's face cleared a little.

"After this battle, the situation in the entire south will be completely reversed." Ding Jian said: "The Tang Dynasty will establish a strong base in the Yangtze River Basin, and the pseudo-liang will be trapped in the attack on both sides, and they will have no more time."

"E Yue is still under Zhu Youzhen's control!" Ding Ci said.

Ding Jian chuckled: "We have stabilized Jingnan now and defeated Dai Chao. Next, can the Shandong East Road under Dai Chao still be preserved? When we recover Shandong East Road, will Zhu Youzhen still have a foothold in Eyue? If he sees the opportunity quickly, he will quickly escape, otherwise he will be wiped out in Eyue."

Ding Ci was stunned, "You mean, after this battle, Huainan will change?"

"Gong Yunda is a smart man!" Ding Jian said disdainfully: "As long as the result of our battle is passed to him, I am afraid that he will immediately change his flag and announce his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty."

The father and son stopped talking and looked at the city silently. Tian Guofeng's army was returning from a distance, and group of dejected Liang troops were strung with ropes and escorted by the army.

The battle outside the city has basically come to an end.

But the battle in the city continued.

In a house, there were only the last hundred guards left by He Zhang. Outside this house, more and more Jingnan troops who were hearing the news had already surrounded the place like iron barrels.

He Zhang suffered a serious injury, and the knife on his thigh was deep enough to see the bones.

"General He Zhang, I am Bai Qian. Your army has been defeated on all sides. Nian you are also a hero of a generation. As long as you put down your weapons, Mr. Bai will never make things difficult for you." Bai Qian's voice came from outside.

He Zhang walked out of the house with a spear and looked up. The roofs of the surrounding houses were already full of Jingnan's archers. Obviously, Bai Qian did not lie, otherwise, they would not have had so many troops to fight in the city.

This battle was lost in a mess and lost inexplicably.

At this moment, although he knew that it was a big defeat caused by Tian Guofeng's rebellion, he could not understand why Tian Guofeng did this?

In order to cut off the wings of Your Highness, fighting for the third highness for that position? But after such a big defeat, Your Highness was indeed cut off his wings, but the beam was also seriously injured!

He couldn't figure it out, and he felt that he didn't have to think about it anymore.
Chapter completed!
