Chapter 1316: Intention to seize the banner of Daxu

Ge Hongye guessed correctly, it was indeed the main force of the Shenwu Army that had arrived. However, until the people in the city could clearly see the flag of the Shenwu Army, the expected cannon sound still did not come.

In this regard, Ge Hongye was very worried, but it was difficult to say it clearly in front of everyone.

Cui Yin saw Ge Hongye's worry, so he approached him and asked in a low voice:

"General Ge, the reinforcements have arrived, why are you still like this?"

At this time, bursts of war drums suddenly sounded, Ge Hongye turned his head, and said in the same low voice:

"The Shenwu army has always used artillery to take the lead in wars, but now the two armies are about to collide together, and the cannon has not yet sounded, and there is only one ......"

"What result?"

After all, Cui Yin didn't understand the marching and fighting mode of the Shenwu Army, and he was a newcomer who had just entered the battle, so he didn't know what the "result" in Ge Hongye's mouth meant, but he could also feel the trouble from his tone.

In fact, what Ge Hongye was worried about was also what Qin Jin was worried about, the two days of heavy rain and then dense fog, the * of the Shenwu Army Firearms Battalion was likely to be damp and invalid, and it had to be re-dried and ground before it could be used again.

Now, the Shenwu Army has no firearms to rely on to improve its combat power, so it can only really fight hard!

I saw that the vanguard of the reinforcements rushed straight to the rear wing of the big cannibal, which was also a favorable factor, so although Qin Jin was nervous, he was not too worried. He knew that today's battle would likely turn into a decisive battle.

All this time, the carefully prepared plan was not used, which was admittedly the luck of the Shenwu Army, and at the same time, Mahdi was cunning enough to be a worthy rival.

"The army in the city, follow me out of the city and flank the big cannibals!"

"No, never, the prime minister is the body of ten thousand gold, how can he personally take risks?"

The generals around Qin Jin immediately objected in unison.

But Qin Jin insisted on going out of the city this time.

"Unfurl my banner and let everyone know that their commander has come to the battlefield to suppress them in person!"

……

Jiang Fengxiang's face was solemn, * It failed in the rainstorm for two consecutive days, and the artillery of the Shenwu Army was ineffective, but in order to catch up with the prime minister's forward battalion, he had to immediately attack the big cannibal.

"General, look, that's, that's the Prime Minister's banner!"

Qin Jin's banner is tall and eye-catching, and it can be seen clearly from a distance.

I don't know how many battles have been fought since the counterinsurgency, this banner is the backbone of everyone in the Shenwu Army, no matter how critical the scene is, as long as the banner of Qin and Jin appears on the battlefield, the military spirit will definitely be prosperous.

Hooray!

The sound of hooray was endless, and even the big cannibals who were caught off guard were shocked by the chorus of tens of thousands of people.

Jiang Fengxiang rose relatively late in the Shenwu Army, but his ability was relatively outstanding, and he acted more cautiously, which was also the main reason why Qin Jin trusted him to lead the main force.

Therefore, he divided the main force into three parts: left, center, and right, of which the left and right parts were used as offensive forces to directly attack the rear flank of the Great Food Army, and the central army was left as a reserve force to support the tight position of the war at any time.

The Great Food Army also reacted quickly, and when it was attacked, the rear team immediately lined up and fought to the death with the Shenwu Army that attacked the rear flank.

The Great Food Army is worthy of being a good hand in field warfare, even if the battle is sudden, there is still no panic, I saw that they adjusted their formation in an orderly manner, and there was no confusion at all in the case of fighting on both sides.

In fact, Zheng Xianli's troops are less than 10,000 people, and they are not at all on the same order of magnitude as the Great Food Army.

As a result, the Great Food Army adjusted its tactical arrangements almost immediately, regarded the attackers behind them as the main opponent, and used most of its forces to counterattack them, leaving only a small number of people in Zheng Xianli's department to monitor.

Mahdi was somewhat surprised by the changes in the battlefield, he did not expect the Tang people to come so quickly, they were expected to arrive in a day or two, and even the scouts sent out could not send back the military report in time.

"These Tang people are really a difficult opponent, I now understand Uncle Abbas a little, his body is not very good, it may be difficult to adapt to the tactics of stalking!"

In this way, it is difficult to say how much of Mahdi's tone is sympathetic, and even more or less sarcastic and sarcastic.

One of the commanders saw the faint smile on the face of His Royal Highness the Prince, and chimed in:

"Abbas is old, he shouldn't have come to such an important place as Khorasan, it's because of the caliph's friendship with his old brother that he can't bear to ......"

Suddenly, Mahdi noticed a special flag, and he instinctively realized that this was probably the flag representing the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

From his contact with the Tang soldiers, he learned that the Tang people attach great importance to flags, and there are various flags in an army, each of which has a very unique and important role.

"Praetorian Guard, take that flag for me!"

Mahdi gave the order suddenly, and his guards rushed to the special banner in the distance.

The first to notice the strange movements of the Great Food Army was Cui Yin, who was standing on the wall of the city of Sylvan, and there were hundreds of wounded soldiers who remained in the city with him, and the rest of the people who could fight were all taken out by Qin Jin, including Ge Hongye.

"It's not good, the big cannibal has discovered the prime minister and is attacking ...... with all his might"

Mahdi's Praetorian guards were worthy of being the elite of the Great Food Army, like a sharp blade splitting the flesh and skin, advancing towards Qin Jin's banner at an incredible speed.

This abnormal offensive naturally aroused the vigilance of Qin Jin's personal guards, their task was to protect Qin Jin, and naturally they could not tolerate any loss from Qin Jin, even if they were all killed in battle, they could not let the prime minister suffer a single hair of hair.

"Prime Minister, the big dog eater is powerful, let's go back to the city, the prime minister's body is ten thousand gold, there must be no mistakes!"

Ge Hongye volunteered to follow Qin Jin and protect him, and in a hurry, he once again suggested that Qin Jin return to Sylvan City.

Qin Jin pointed ahead with an unchanged face and said with a smile:

"My banner can attract tens of thousands of cannibals, doesn't it reduce the pressure on Jiang Fengxiang and Zheng Xianli?

A burst of firecrackers exploded, followed by the familiar smell of sulfur.

Seeing that the attack of the Great Cannibal was rapid and fierce, the captain who led the troops ordered to throw the flowering mines to block the opponent's attack speed.

Throwing out two rounds in a row, the scattered gunpowder smoke finally made the big cannibals wary, after all, the Shenwu army used artillery when they were in Gorgan, which made many big cannibals still feel inexplicably nervous.
