Chapter 59: Gather firewood and burn yourself

After reminding the generals to arrange their family affairs, the meeting lasted until the evening before resting, and after dinner, everyone returned to their positions, pacified the soldiers, repaired for two days, and prepared to march westward.

Two days later, Qin Tian led the Flame Army and the 200,000 soldiers of the Zhenwei Legion, plus the new Zhenlong Legion of 400,000, a total of 600,000 troops, and marched westward.

As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, but when they enter the territory of Tianchu to fight, there is no suitable stronghold in front, so the grain and grass, soldiers and horses are all peers, and the speed is slow, but the safety of the materials can be guaranteed.

After several days of marching, Tianchu did not encounter effective resistance. In fact, the battle report on the side of the Tiger Prison Pass had already been transmitted to the imperial city, and the king of Chu was extremely angry, and immediately ordered to raid Hu Yanlie's mansion, regardless of the old and young, all of them were taken into custody pending trial, and if there was resistance, they would be killed.

Ordered the Xuanwu, Suzaku and White Tiger battalions to each transfer 400,000 troops, quickly converge, a total of 1.2 million troops, and march eastward, to destroy the enemy of the Great Yan in one fell swoop.

At the same time, it was emphasized that the rebels of the original Blue Dragon Legion did not accept surrender and were all killed.

The king of Chu issued an edict that all traitors would be killed; Whoever leads the general to commit treason, will be punished by the nine clans.

As soon as the edict came out, the whole country of Tianchu shook, and the people were panicked.

And the soldiers of the Qinglong Army who have surrendered can no longer turn back, and Tianchu has become their homeland.

After the old part of the Qinglong Army retreated to Pingdingshan, five hundred miles east of Wuguo City, according to the order of the King of Chu, it was guarded by the mountain, preparing to block the westward advance of the Great Yan Army here, delay until the Xuanwu, Vermilion Bird, and White Tiger armies came to help, and then counterattacked together.

Although 400,000 of the old Qinglong Army did not surrender, on the way back, a large number of deserters appeared, and when they retreated to Pingdingshan, they reduced by tens of thousands to only more than 300,000. The supreme general of the retreating Blue Dragon Army is named Mi Yong.

was originally a deputy marshal of the Qinglong Army, although his prestige and talent were a little different from that of the old marshal Hu Yanlie, but it was also a bit of real material.

After retreating to Pingdingshan, camp on the mountain, take local materials, and at the foot of the mountain, there are three layers of horse piles arranged alone. All kinds of guard towers, arrow towers, walls, etc. are also considered to be more appropriate construction, the only drawback is that in a hurry, all defenses are basically built by collecting trees.

The Great Yan army marched to Pingding Mountain, and seeing such a scene, Qin Tian also glanced at this chief general again, in a short period of time, it was not bad to be able to complete a fortification of this scale.

But if you want to stop the advance of the Great Yan Army, it is still far from enough.

Qin Tian naturally understood the truth of the speed of soldiers. Previously, under the Tiger Prison, the reason why Qin Tian made an appointment with the old marshal Huyanlie was to surrender and strengthen the team to supplement the lack of his own troops, so he did not hesitate to delay for many days.

And under Pingding Mountain, there is no need to be so merciful to these remnants of the Qinglong Army who have given them a chance and have not surrendered.

It is naturally a good thing to be able to win without a fight, but if you want to unify Kyushu, how can you expect that all wars can be surrendered without a fight?

With an iron-blooded soldier in his hand, how can he be afraid of being a pawn with a mantis arm?

If you defend the mountains and build by cutting down wood, then I will use fire to overcome wood, and burn yourself with the wood you have gathered.

There is no persuasion, no challenge. The Great Yan Army lined up, waiting for the order to charge, and in the rear of the battle array, the Tianlei chariot was in place.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh、、、 boom, boom, boom, boom, 、、、"

One after another, thunder and fire bombs roared out and smashed towards the enemy's position, and as soon as they touched the ground, they made a thunderous sound, and then the flames splashed and burned.

After only a few rounds of projection, the large camp built by the remnants of the Blue Dragon Army on the mountain became a sea of fire.

As the old saying goes, the flame is high when everyone gathers firewood. At the moment, the flame is high enough, but the object of burning is a little unacceptable, and the firewood you pick up to burn yourself. If it is placed in modern society, is there a suspicion of stewing yourself in a live cauldron?

Almost all of them were fortifications built by collecting trees, and instead of any defense, they became a joke about digging their own graves.

For a while, there was a mess in the remnants of the Qinglong Army, and the morale of the army was already discouraged, and there was no discipline at all at this moment.

Many soldiers regret their bowels at the moment, they knew it was so, why bother in the first place?

Now there is really no way to go to the sky, there is no way to enter the ground, and if you surrender again, it is still unknown whether the Great Yan Army will accept it. Even if someone accepts it, the treatment will definitely not be as good as the previous surrender treatment.

But no matter what, there may still be a glimmer of life in surrendering, although there is a strict order from the king of Chu, but what if this king of Chu is no longer the king of Chu? There were also some soldiers who didn't have anything to worry about at home, and they began to raise their hands and rush in the direction of the Great Yan Army.

Sure enough, Qin Tian did not break his promise, this was the second time in the confrontation, and he still accepted all the soldiers who surrendered.

In the large camp of the remnants of the Qinglong Army, the fire burned for an hour, and the Great Yan Army did not dispatch a single soldier, but the remnants of the Qinglong Army had completely collapsed.

More than 100,000 soldiers surrendered, countless dead and wounded, tens of thousands of people fled in the chaos, and there were still few people left who still had combat strength.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Mi Yong had no choice but to lead tens of thousands of remnants of the defeated army to flee westward.

When the fire gradually went out, the Great Yan Army stepped forward to clean up the battlefield, tried its best to collect all kinds of available materials, and did not kill the wounded soldiers who did not surrender and could not escape, but only collected their weapons and let them fend for themselves.

The Great Yan Army continued to advance westward, as if it had not been hindered at all. On the contrary, after this battle, the morale was even higher, and the size of the army was further expanded by more than 700,000, and the momentum became more and more huge.

After two consecutive collisions, Qin Tian completely defeated the Blue Dragon Legion.

For the first time, it took seven days to win with a battle formation, mainly to recruit surrender.

The second time, it only took an hour to burn down the camp and win the victory, mainly for a quick victory.

Between this slow and fast, it shows the divine strength of the great flame soldiers. It was as if everything was under the control of Da Yan in this battlefield confrontation.

If I want to be slow, I can win without a fight; I want to be as fast as I can, but I can do it quickly.

According to the location of Pingdingshan and defended, although the Qinglong Army was defeated and retreated, it was said that there were more than 300,000 troops, so that the Great Yan Army could be completely defeated in just one hour without spending a single soldier, and this kind of result could not explain the gap between the two sides?

The battle situation here is deliberately publicized by some people, and the news is also spreading, and in the territory of Tianchu, it is almost to the point that everyone knows about it, and the Xuanwu, Vermilion Bird, and White Tiger armies that are rapidly marching eastward are also panicking.
