Jiang Fengxiang's main force did not choose to attack from the west, but tried to launch a surprise attack around the flank of the Mahdi army. In fact, his strategy had already worked, and by the time the Great Cannibal had discovered something, the various departments of the Shenwu Army had basically been arranged in place.

When issuing the military order, Jiang Fengxiang did not tell Huang Xuan the whole plan, in fact, the main role of Huang Xuan's strange army was to divert Mahdi's attention. The reason why he didn't tell Huang Xuan all the facts was that he simply thought that he was carrying out a beheading mission.

Only in this way can Huang Xuan and others burst out with the heart of death.

It was certainly unfair to Huang Xuan and the thousands of soldiers under his command to do so, but as long as the victory was achieved in the end, all the sacrifices were worth it.

Jiang Fengxiang never thought that with the respect of the prime minister, he would actually have today's critical situation.

The prime minister must not have any mistakes, once there is an accident, the entire Shenwu army and the entire empire will face the danger of falling apart.

You must know that the current Tang Empire is not only the 200 states of the Han Dynasty and the long and narrow territory of the Western Regions, including Tubo, the rivers west of the Green Mountains, Tocharo, most of Tianzhu, and part of Khorasan.

The territory is so large that it is more than twice the territory of the Tianbao years.

Since the Shenwu Army sent troops into the cities of Tuboluo, the military pressure of the Tang Dynasty in the northwest has completely disappeared, and only the unruly Khitans in the northeast are still resisting stubbornly, but there is a flanking attack and suppression by the Hui people, and the Tang Dynasty headquarters does not need to send the main force to suppress it.

Jiang Fengxiang's eyes were fixed on the battlefield, but his mind was spinning rapidly, as far as he knew, since the prime minister took control of the imperial court, he changed the strategy of emphasizing the use of troops in the northeast during the Tianbao period, and invested most of the military forces in the Western Regions.

The huge investment has also been rewarded handsomely in a short period of time, but the rapid expansion of the territory will inevitably be the same as people, some indigestion.

Once the prime minister has an accident, the opposition forces of the imperial court may not fight back, whether there are strong figures as strong as Qin Jin in the Shenwu army who can control the situation is unknown, once there is a change in the imperial court, it is difficult for those Shenwu army generals stationed in Luoqicheng, Mulu City, Fulousha and other places to guarantee that they will still be loyal to the imperial court.

In the final analysis, Qin Jin and his family are concerned about the safety of the Shenwu Army, and there is absolutely no room for any mistakes.

In comparison, even if Huang Xuan's entire team was lost, what was the result compared to that terrible result?

Jiang Fengxiang sighed secretly, even if his life was taken, it was nothing.

At this moment, Qin Jin's guards are facing unprecedented pressure, and almost all the departments of the forward battalion are almost completely organized, and in order to keep the prime minister's banner, everyone is fighting desperately.

There are mountains of dead bodies piled up around the Great Banner, including big cannibals and warriors of the Shenwu Army.

Ge Hongye's eyes were red, he asked the prime minister for orders, and led a force of men and horses to guard the right flank of the banner, which faced the most fierce attack, and the brothers who followed him out of the city of Sylvan are now almost dead.

His armor was so blood-stained that it was so black that he couldn't tell which was his own blood and which was the blood of his enemies.

Licking his chapped lips and looking around, almost all the people who could still support him were injured, but none of them were familiar to him.

Even so, Jiang Fengxiang also knew that as long as he shouted, everyone would defend the Prime Minister's banner with death one after another.

This banner not only represents the prime minister, but also represents the entire Shenwu Army and even the Tang Dynasty......

The big cannibal attacked again, Ge Hongye was no longer thinking nonsense, his hands were tightly clutching the Mo knife that had been curled, and he hissed and shouted:

"For the prime minister, for the sake of the Shenwu Army, fight to the end!"

"Fight to the death!"

Ge Hongye's roar was immediately exchanged for wave after wave of response.

The cries to fight to the death spread in all directions like a tidal wave.

Despite the extremely heavy casualties, the will to fight of the forward battalion of the Shenwu Army was still very high, and nothing would make them feel terrified and make them retreat!

Many of the voices were already roaring and hissing, leaving only hoarse ahh

War drums and horns roared rhythmically throughout the battlefield.

At this point, there has been no formation or tactics for a long time, and every attack and counterattack has been left with simple hand-to-hand combat.

There will be no tactical bonuses in hand-to-hand combat, it just depends on which side has more physical strength, stronger combat power, and more people...... Whoever can hold out until the end will be the final winner.

However, hand-to-hand combat is also the most tragic, and no general will let his men fall into hand-to-hand combat unless they are forced to do so.

Even Mahdi himself didn't expect that the Shenwu Army, which was only less than 10,000 people, would be able to withstand the onslaught of tens of thousands of sharp forces.

At this point, he also clearly understood the true combat effectiveness of the Shenwu Army.

Mahdi admired the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty very much, and actually allowed himself to fall into a siege, using himself as bait to attract the enemy's attack, even the caliph was afraid that he would not have such courage.

At present, the forward battalion of the Shenwu Army guarding under the banner of Xuwu has lost more than seventy percent of the battle, and if according to past experience, if the battle loss of an army exceeds thirty percent, it is already at risk of collapse.

But the Shenwu Army opposite him had already suffered more than seventy percent casualties, but it was still supported to the death.

The flag still fluttered fiercely, close at hand, but so far away that it seemed to be unreachable.

For some reason, Mahdi shook his head and thought it was funny, in fact, in just a few moments, his men would completely kill the recalcitrant Tang people.

If the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty was lucky enough not to die, he made him a prisoner and sent to Ctesiphon to be used as a horse stone for the caliph.

Thinking of this, Mahdi couldn't help but be a little impatient, and began to urge his commanders and commanders to deal with these remnants of the army as soon as possible.

Because there is still the main force of the Tang Shenwu Army behind him who is launching a fierce assault, they must achieve the goal of capturing or killing the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty before they completely break through the defense line.

Of course, on the battlefield, the biggest gain should be the capture of the flag.

The Tang people attached the most importance to the flag, and as long as the flag of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty was cut, it would inevitably deal a fatal blow to their military morale.

Mahdi glanced at the battlefield behind him, which was not far from him, and the Praetorian guards did not disappoint him, dragging the Tang army that had come by surprise to death.

As was the case under the Tang Dynasty's Prime Minister, they all resisted large-scale attacks with a small number of elites.
