Chen Changfu pulled out the bow, narrowed his eyes, held his breath for a moment, and the feather arrow came out of the string.

The fluttering banner fell leisurely.

Immediately after that, three arrows flew to the somewhat lost general who had been riding his horse under the banner, his armor was so conspicuous, so different, just a glance at it, you will know that he is different.

This person is Dai Chao, the commander of the Liang army.

Dai Chao's surrounding soldiers were all dead, some of them blocked in front of Dai Chao, and some of them ripped Dai Chao off their horses. Dai Chao is like a patient who has lost his soul, allowing his own soldiers to do it, and he himself is like a clay sculpture and wood sculpture without any reaction.

"Dai Chao is dead!"

"Dai Chao is dead!"

On the battlefield, the Jingnan soldiers cheered loudly, and the sound shook the clouds. The Liang army, which was already unable to support it, turned around and saw that the banner of the Chinese army had disappeared without a trace, and the team that was supposed to be above the position of the Chinese army was empty, and in the eyes of the eyes, only a group of cavalry could be seen fleeing into the distance in embarrassment.

On the battlefield, the Liang army completely collapsed.

The Liang army outside the city was flanked by Jing Nan's soldiers and Tian Guofeng, and was unable to form an army, and at this time, He Zhang and Cai Quan, who were trapped in the city, could not withdraw from the city.

Because the city gate has long been blocked by the Jingnan people, they climbed the ladder from outside the city to attack, if they want to get out, they can only follow the original way out, the city gate blocked by earth and stones, without a few days of effort, can not be cleared out at all.

On the other hand, the Liang army that entered the city thought that the victory was in hand, and it had completely fallen apart, losing the most basic structure, and after He Zhang and Cai Quan learned the news, they did everything they could, and only gathered a small part of the army, but they fell into a bitter battle with the Jingnan army next.

The Jingnan army in the city under the command of Bai Qian and Bai Minzhong in the city returned to the middle of the city and launched a counterattack against the Liang army in the city.

Outside the city, Dai Chao only fled to the direction of Dangyang with more than 100 cavalry, and a cavalry under Tian Guofeng's command chased after their butts.

This can no longer be described as a fiasco.

This is a complete annihilation.

The 50,000 Liang troops were all lost under the city of Jiangling.

Ding Jian's steps were a little soft, and he walked on the battlefield full of corpses, and the nail leaves on his body swayed with his walking steps, and every time he swung, blood would drip down. He didn't know where his helmet had gone, and a piece of scalp in the center of his head had been shaved off, and he was covered in blood, and he didn't see the grace of his usual days at all, but looked like a demon crawling out of the Nine Hells.

Tian Guofu's army was still encircling and suppressing the stubborn Liang army, and Bai Minzhong returned to the city with the remaining troops to kill the enemy troops in the city, and in the city, the soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield were basically some lightly wounded soldiers. Even though they were still bleeding, the soldiers did their best to rummage through the mountains of corpses.

From time to time, there will be a crying voice, calling Daddy, making people unbearable to listen. The main force of Jingnan is composed of Ding Bai's two private soldiers, basically fathers, sons and brothers serving in the army, at this time, I don't know how many people have lost their sons, fathers, and brothers.

There were also cheers for wounded survivors found out of the corpses.

Ding Jian walked a little indifferently, and he saw some soldiers gritting their teeth and slashing at some Liang soldiers who were injured and unable to move, but he had no heart or strength to stop them.

The soldiers need to vent, and it is useless to stop it at this time.

Human life is like grass!

Ding Jian sighed in his heart.

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

Hurried two steps, walked in front of Ding Wei, squatted down, looked at Ding Xiong in Ding Wei's arms, with a half-cut knife in his stomach, a knife in his neck, almost cut off the entire neck, only a little bit of flesh was still connected, Ding Xiong's eyes were round, 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 around the world, and they worked hard for almost ten years, but they died here in less than half a year after returning to their hometown.

Vuk is also dead.

The big leader of the internal guard, the spear in his hand reached forward, and the tip of the spear stabbed deeply into the chest of a Liang army general in front of him, but there were at least three spears stuck in his body, and it was these three spears that supported his body to stand still.

There were less than twenty of his internal security guards left, standing solemnly beside him at this moment, stroking his left chest with his right hand, and silently reciting the oath in unison.

That was their oath of joining the company when they joined the Yixing Society.

The generals Wu Ke, Ding Wei, and Ding Xiong led the strongest group of people in the Jingnan army at the moment, they fought the deepest into the enemy formation, and the opponents they encountered were also the strongest, so they suffered the heaviest casualties.

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

Ding Ci was at the head of the city in a daze, looking at Ding Jian who was hobbling over, and said with a wry smile: "Son, Jing Nan has won, but Jing Nan will never be able to return to the past." ”

Ding Jian walked over, pressed his hands on the head of the city, but his eyes became more and more resolute, "Father, Jing Nan wins, Jing Nan will be better than before." The sacrifices made in front of us are worth it in the big picture. You have not seen the situation in the north, but I have seen it, and I have participated in it myself. In the future, Jingnan will be more prosperous than now. ”

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

"We lost a lot, but we will gain 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 are very reasonable, no one can move against the tide, this world, chaos for too long, everyone is looking forward to the advent of a long-term era of peace and stability." And the dawn before the advent of this era is always the darkest. But when the darkness passes, the sun and rain will shine on the earth. ”

"But what about Ding?"

Ding Jian smiled slightly: "After everything is settled, my father might as well go to Wuyi and his party, go to the north for a good walk, take a look, and you can understand what the Ding family is going to do next." Of course, the soil emperor of Jingnan can't do it, but the Ding family's Bai clan will also enjoy glory and wealth for at least three generations because of this battle. We have shed blood and sacrificed for the advent of a new era, and we are different from many others. Those people can live like a fish in water under Li Xiang's rule, and our Ding family will only live better. ”

"I hope what you're saying is true." Ding Ci took a deep breath: "When everything is settled, or your father-in-law and I should go to Wuyi to visit the Li Xiang who makes you happy and convinced." This Jingnan will be entrusted to you. Come to think of it, you already have a whole set of plans for how to change Jingnan, right? ”

Ding Jian nodded: "We are already familiar with these things. Father should not be reluctant when the time comes, and the things that should be taken out must be taken out. Of course, the compensation will also be extraordinarily generous. ”

"Compensation?" Ding Ci sighed.

"Father, according to what Li Xiang gave me before I came, after this battle, father-in-law, at least one county king can get the title of county king, and you can also get 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 Datang in the next few years. ”

Ding Ci's face was slightly pale.

"After this war, the situation in the whole South will be completely reversed." Ding Jian said: "Datang will establish a strong base in the Yangtze River Valley, and the pseudo-Liang will be caught in the middle of a two-sided attack, and their time is running out." ”

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

Ding Jian laughed: "We have now stabilized Jingnan and defeated Dai Chao, next, can Shannan Dongdao under Dai Chao's control still be kept?" When we recover Shannan Dongdao, will Zhu Youzhen still have a foothold in Eyue? If he sees the opportunity quickly, he will flee back quickly, otherwise, he will inevitably be wiped out in Eyue. ”

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

"Gong Yunda is a smart person!" Ding Jian said disdainfully: "As long as the results of our battle reach him, I'm afraid that he will soon change his allegiance 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 one by one, and groups 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 mansion, there were only more than 100 guards left around He Zhang, and outside this mansion, more and more Jingnan troops who heard the news had surrounded this place like iron buckets.

He Zhang was not lightly injured, and a knife on his thigh was deep in the bones.

"General He Zhang, I am Bai Qian, your army has been defeated on all fronts, you are also a generation of heroes, as long as you lay down your arms, Bai will never embarrass you." Bai Qian's voice came from outside.

He Zhang walked out of the house with a spear, and looked around, and the roofs of the surrounding houses were already full of Jingnan's archers. Obviously, Bai Qian was not lying, otherwise, they would not have been able to have so many troops to fight in the city.

This battle was lost in a blur and inexplicably.

At this moment, although he knew that it was a big defeat caused by Tian Guofeng's rebellion, he couldn't figure out why Tian Guofeng did this?

In order to cut off the wings of His Royal Highness and fight for that position for His Third Highness? But after such a big defeat, His Highness was indeed cut off his wings, but the Great Liang was also greatly injured!

He couldn't figure it out, he didn't think he needed to think about it.

"It's not a crime of war!" He looked up to the sky and sighed: "Surrender to them, there is no need to struggle." ”
