In the early morning of November 22, 798 in the Guangming calendar, in the imperial capital, the southeast army was defeated, 100,000 corpses were ambushed, countless people surrendered, and the sound of miserable howls was endless. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the bloody battle of the Central Army saved their fate!

After learning the news, the 50,000 southeastern infantry troops in charge of containing them in Beicheng were in turmoil and had no intention of fighting, and all of them hurriedly retreated to Yongnan Town--due to the deliberate blockade of Qiu Man, the governor of the southeast, did not know that the upheaval had taken place in Yongnan Town. As they reached thirty miles south of town, they mistakenly thought they had entered a safe area, and all of them unconsciously relaxed their vigilance. At this moment, in the dark night, thousands of arrows suddenly fired, war drums rumbled, and the 50,000 southeastern army suffered heavy losses in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, an ironclad cavalry came out of the darkness, like a swimming dragon, piercing back and forth and splitting. The southeastern soldiers who were caught off guard were like fish on a knife, cut into countless pieces, chaotic, and 50,000 infantry wolves rushed and were killed countless times.

They had realized that this was a long-planned ambush, and that the town of Yongnan must have fallen into the hands of the Central Army. The remnants of the soldiers who survived gave up resistance and fled to Luohe Province in a hurry. Along the way, the central army rank and tail chased and killed, the soldiers of the Southeast Army only hated their parents for having eight legs, and they ran so much that their tongues were about to stick out, and on the way from the imperial capital city to Luohe Province for 100 miles, the corpses of the fallen soldiers of the Southeast Army could be seen everywhere.

The defeat was like a mountain, and if this situation continued, the Southeastern Army would not be able to return even a single horse boot. Perhaps God had mercy, but just when the soldiers of the Southeastern Army were in complete despair and decided to lie down and catch their breath even if they died, a southeastern legion that had not long arrived in the capital of Luohe Province suddenly appeared in front of them - the reason why this legion marched overnight was because they had also received a letter for help from the town of Yongnan, and this time the messenger was real - the reinforcement of the legion numbered as many as 60,000 men.

In this way, the Central Army, which was pursuing all the way, met the southeastern army on the edge of Gyeonggi, which was densely covered with jungles! In the darkness of the night, both sides were taken aback, and they unanimously adopted the most cautious tactics, and all of them gathered their formations and stopped.

It was the most dramatic scene of the war, and according to post-war research, the encounter was almost historic, and it almost changed the course of history. And all this depends on the wisdom and determination of the generals on both sides.

At that time, the pursuing Central Army had only 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry troops, and the formation was scattered, all of which were tired soldiers for a long time. The reinforced Southeastern Army was mainly infantry, but they requisitioned 3,000 horses from Luohe Province to form three temporary cavalry squadrons. Judging from the comparison of strength, the Southeast Army has an overwhelming advantage, and their strength is enough to easily defeat the Central Army in front of them, and even take advantage of the situation to recapture Yongnan Town, after all, there are less than 20,000 people stationed in Yongnan Town at this moment.

However, the incident started in a hurry, and neither side knew the true details of the other side, and the key to deciding the outcome was who knew better how to bluff! Fortunately, the general of the Central Army was Hu Yantuo, the captain of General Bolu's personal guard, and he was also a student of General Bolu. What's more, he has just won the victory in Yongnan Town, and he is in full swing.

So, history favored the Central Army, he was the first to react, shouted, the cavalry took the lead in attacking, the infantry army shouted loudly at the same time, and more than 10,000 people actually created a momentum of 100,000 people.

The god of victory bestows luck on the braver one. The Southeast Army really only put up a little resistance, and then escorted the remnants of the escaped army to retreat to Luohe Province. This is not unrelated to the deliberate or unintentional exaggeration of the defeated soldiers, and the frightened bird-like soldiers of the Southeast Army exaggerated the number and combat effectiveness of the pursuers by ten times the magnitude.

In their description, the Central Army behind them was overwhelming, with more than a dozen thousand troops, all of whom were the most elite Gyeonggi troops. What's even more terrifying is that among them there are undead who know the demon law, swallowing clouds and spitting mist, eating people one by one without spitting out bones, these undead can spit out two skeleton soldiers after eating a bone, and they can't be cut to death - such an army is invincible at all, even the governor and his old man have been captured by skeleton soldiers!

Under these circumstances, the reinforced Southeastern Army cautiously chose to protect itself, but only escorted the remnants all the way back to the capital of Luohe Province. As it turned out later, these defeated soldiers, except for those who were already insane, were deliberately exaggerated, and their main purpose was to find excuses for their own failures!

When Qiu Man, under the protection of the Qinjian clan in the South China Sea, fled back to Luohe Province with less than 10,000 southeastern troops, he also heard about this encounter, and couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of old blood, and exclaimed bitterly: "The rats have made a mistake!

......

According to post-war statistics, in this huge battle, which took one day and one night across the Yongnan fortress and the imperial capital, the Southeast Army lost more than 173,000 people, and the Central Army under the command of General Bolu paid the price of more than 70,000 people. As for the 20,000 Central Army that betrayed General Beru in Yongnan Town, they suffered the most brutal revenge and were completely reduced to symbols.

The victory in this battle established the invincible prestige of General Berlu, and the Central Army led by this old man created one miracle after another. And his proverb, which he repeatedly emphasized during the war, quickly spread and became well-known: "Persistence is victory!"

Yes, persistence is victory! For many years, this phrase has become an empty slogan. However, on the 21st day of November in the 798th year of the Guangming calendar, the old man was given a new life with his unusual stubbornness and paranoia. Countless generals and military theorists began to reflect on the true meaning of this phrase. They suddenly discovered that in the past, they paid too much attention to dazzling strategies and tactics, but ignored that "people" were the key factor in warfare.

In the face of adversity, only paranoia can survive, and only paranoia can go to victory!

After this battle, the weak Central Army was reborn, and the unyielding military spirit stubbornly grew in the bodies of all the soldiers!

In just a few days after the war, the Gyeonggi region fell completely into the hands of Beru.

Of the eight provinces under the jurisdiction of the Central Military Region, except for Yanyun Province and Luohe Province, the garrison generals of the remaining six provinces all expressed their absolute obedience to General Bolu's orders.

As a result, the 500,000 Central Army, excluding the 100,000 people who died in the war, and the 80,000 garrisons in the two provinces of Yanyun and Luohe, which clearly supported Ye Chong, plus the 50,000 cavalry taken away by Ah Heng, gathered nearly 270,000 Central Army under the command of Bolu.

The first thing he did was to shrink the defensive line, gather all 270,000 central troops in the Gyeonggi area, and use the 12th military town as the fulcrum to defend the imperial capital. The entire Imperial Capital City no longer faces any direct threat, and its defenses are like iron buckets, impregnable.

At the same time, Admiral Beru sent 100,000 troops to the Yongnan fortress. It turned out that this approach was quite timely, and when Ye Chong passed through the Juyong Mountain Range, the small space could not deploy a large-scale army at all, and he could only look at the city and sigh. In the end, he had to retreat to Yanyun Province, north of the Juyong Mountains. The war has reached a stalemate.

.......

In the camp of the Central Army, Admiral Berlu waved back left and right. He took out a piece of paper that was already a little torn, the contents of which he had read countless times, but every time he read it, he was filled with emotion.

No one knew that it was this letter that brought about this hard-fought victory, and at the same time made him undefeated. In the longer term, this letter even gave the Central Army a new lease of life and achieved a new pattern for the empire.

However, all this is destined not to be known. The boy wanted to keep it a secret, and Burru couldn't refuse it, both emotionally and intellectually.

A trace of regret flashed in Boru's heart, and he wanted to tell everyone that the child he helped back then, the young duke who was considered "the most incompetent commander in the world", his exploits were enough to cover the light of most of the so-called famous generals in the world, he was the most dazzling and youngest general in the history of the empire, and he was the biggest contributor to this victory!

With a sigh of lightness, Berlu placed the letterhead on the candle flame, and the flames rose and the historic letter immediately turned to ashes. History will never remember all this again. But Beauru firmly believes that in the not-so-distant future, that boy will surely rise like the rising sun!

Looking at the falling ashes, Admiral Beru smiled a little self-deprecatingly, he is really old, and his persistence for a long time may really be resting on his laurels!
