Chapter 271: The Flag Does Not Fall (Down, Down, Down)

Chang Yun took the remnants of the defenders of Anling City, hid in the people's houses and alleys, and fought to the death with the army of the Qing army attacking the city.

It's just that two fists are hard to beat with four hands, not to mention that Chang Yun and his party are physically and mentally exhausted, and they are facing a Qing army ten times their own. It didn't take long for the 7,483 defenders of Anling City to be left with only one person left-Chang Yun.

When the two armies fought, the soldiers around Chang Yun all took the initiative to resist the damage for him, even if it was death!

The clouds were very thin during the day, so tonight, the moonlight was exceptionally bright, almost dyeing the street full of corpses yellow.

Chang Yun was holding a big flag, and he was stabbed in the face at some point, and the corners of his mouth were cracked. He laughed out loud with his mouth open, revealing a mouth full of blood-stained teeth.

His laughter was like a big drum, beating in the hearts of the soldiers of the Qing army.

Arrogant, desolate.

The despair contained in the laughter, and the curse narrated in the laughter, actually made the Qingjun soldiers begin to doubt whether the trip was correct or not. The children of Chen Guo seem to be no different from them, and they will not hesitate to pay for the sake of their homeland.

Is such a country really capable of being swept away by hundreds of thousands of troops?

And how can I bear to see countless strong men like the defenders of Anling City die?

The general who led the army on Qingjun's side was taken aback when he saw it, he had already found that in the laughter of Chang Yun, at least a few soldiers around him had begun to waver. Compared with the merit of killing a general of the Chen State, compared with the sin that caused the army's morale to be shaken, once measured, this general couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

In a panic, he shouted: "Kill this thief of the Chen Kingdom!" ”

With that, he snatched a longbow from the back of the soldier beside him. The bow was like a full moon, and as soon as his fingers loosened on the bowstring, a long arrow flew straight towards Changyun.

At this time, Chang Yun had reached the point where the oil was dry and the lamp was extinguished, and he no longer had the strength to dodge this long arrow.

Besides, he was bent on death, and he didn't want to dodge the arrow.

At this time, Chang Yun forgot the righteousness of the country and the kindness of the general.

Between life and death, there was only one person left in his mind. Gray-haired, alone.

Chang Yun's heart was like a knife, and he said secretly: "I'm sorry mother, Yun'er can't go back to see you alive......"

His eyes widened, and the corners of his cracked mouth curled in an eerie arc.

At this moment, his poignant appearance was like a ghost, deeply imprinted in the hearts of those who witnessed it.

The general who shot the arrow trembled, glanced at the longbow in his hand that had not yet been returned to its owner, and suddenly felt a deep sin. He immediately dropped his longbow to the ground, not daring to look at it again.

The general remembered that the defenders of Anling City had been wiped out so far, and he even killed the general on the opposite side himself, thinking that he was going to move his position up.

He didn't know why, but he wasn't as happy as he expected.

He pretended to be overjoyed, and shouted to the soldiers around him who were stunned and silent: "We have won, Anling City has been defeated!" ”

The soldiers around him also cheered when they saw the appearance of the general.

It's just that the sound of cheers is too sparse and too low.

Then, it's dawn.

Just in case, I was afraid that Chen Guoren still had hole cards hidden in Anling City, and it was not until the sky was slightly bright that the human eye could see things, and the Qingguo army entered Anling City.

After entering the city, the most important food reserves and other things have been sent to investigate, and the answer is a pile of ruins.

Liu Tingfeng walked on the streets of Anling City and found that the houses were empty, and they had moved out in advance instead of hiding.

Sure enough, Anling City was the bait that Chen Baili left for himself.

Although it is no small feat to eat this bait, the comparison of strength between the two sides, under this incident, has deflected again. If Chen Baili really captured Gao Shun, then the remaining 70,000 troops under his command after attacking Anling City would soon be cut off from the back route, and there would be no material assistance.

He understands that under that kind of situation, hundreds of thousands of troops have become a burden.

The food eaten by hundreds of thousands of people, without the assistance of Qingguo, even the bark of a small mountain could not last for a few days.

And Chen Guo's strategy can be regarded as understanding, once the army is defeated, it will burn the grain, without the slightest hesitation. These things must have been ordered by Chen Baili, otherwise it would be impossible for other low-level generals of Chen State to have this kind of insight and courage. It's not easy to have one or two, and it's against the sky to have them all.

All the clues come together and point to the final answer.

Chen Baili had already set such a strategy, calculating Liu Tingfeng step by step and calculating the Qingguo army. It wasn't until Liu Tingfeng had already fallen into the pit dug by Chen Baili with hundreds of thousands of troops from Qingguo that all his arrangements showed his fangs and claws.

This kind of calculating ability is simply appalling.

What's even more terrifying is that the generals in Chen Guojun's army, and even the lower-level generals, have followed his plan step by step.

Such a situation is worthy of the boast of a strong soldier.

Liu Tingfeng sighed and continued to walk forward.

He was inspecting the situation in Anling City, and he needed to make a decision on how to deal with the storm that Chen Baili had brought after he grabbed Gao Shun, the lifeblood of food.

The most rational action is naturally to gather a large army, attack Changling City and Baling City, and collect grain and grass.

But as soon as Anling City was defeated, the decision to give up, even if Liu Tingfeng had the highest position in the army, he did not dare to act rashly.

He knew very well that the soldiers were already very tired in the war in Anling City, and if he told them that all their hard work this time was in vain, he didn't know what monstrous waves they were going to set off.

After Liu Tingfeng sighed in his heart, he saw that there were countless people on a small street in front of him.

The streets surrounded by Qing soldiers aroused Liu Tingfeng's curiosity.

He asked the generals who followed him, "Is there anything unusual here?" ”

The general's face changed, if he remembered correctly, this was the last place where he fought with Chen Guo's army last night. In other words, the burly General Chen Guo was killed by himself here.

However, when Liu Shuai asked, he only answered truthfully: "This is the last place where the battle with Chen Guo last night, and I want to come here to surround the soldiers to pay tribute to the glory and merits of our army's martyrs." ”

However, after waiting for the curious Liu Tingfeng to get up together, the general's face turned red.

The situation is fundamentally different from what he said, the soldiers of Qingguo are not paying tribute to the martyrs of Qingguo, but to the martyrs of Chen Guo.

They lined up in a chaotic manner, one by one to worship the general of Chen Guo who didn't know his name!
