Hearing these three words, Yin Liang shivered, his hazy sleepy eyes immediately widened, and his sleepiness disappeared completely.

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, the First Legion, as the first legion of the Jin Kingdom, has long been famous all over the world, and how could Yin Liang not know about its courage and good fighting? He was stunned for a few seconds, and then he turned over and rolled directly from the bed to the ground, forgetting to put on his shoes, and pushed away the surrounding guards with his bare feet, and took three steps into two steps, and rushed out of the camp.

At this time, the battle in the camp of the Red Army had completely taken on a one-sided situation, and countless Red soldiers rushed out of the sea of fire naked, crying and shouting for their fathers and mothers, and fled to the rear camp like a tide. Looking behind him, under the insinuation of the firelight, there are all black helmets, black armor, and red-headed tassels, and the densely pressed golden army is like a beast and a demon, carrying a blood-dripping war knife and spear, with hideous facial features, whistles and whistling one after another, greeting each other, frantically chasing the deserters of the Red Kingdom, once there are deserters surrounded by them, the next thing is crazy slashing......

The First Legion was on the battlefield, less like a war, more like a pack of wolves hunting, the enemy became their prey, and the killing became their catharsis and fun.

When he woke up, his own military camp suddenly became like this, Yin Liang was dumbfounded, barefoot, standing at the door of the camp tent, his expression was dull, and he didn't move.

At this time, Zhang Rong hurriedly ran over in disheveled clothes, and seeing that Yin Liang was still in a daze, he rushed forward, shook Yin Liang vigorously, and shouted loudly: "General, the Jin army has come in, we have to run quickly!"

In Zhang Rong's hurried shout, Yin Liang finally came back to his senses, his eyes slowly turned to Zhang Rong's face, and muttered: "It's over, our army is finished, and the Red Country is finished......"

How can I still have time to listen to him recite the funeral scriptures! Zhang Rong was so anxious that he was sweating all over his head. yelled at the guards behind Yin Liang: "Quick! Take the general away, when the Jin army rushes over, none of us can escape." ”

The guards were all shocked, someone quickly pulled the war horse, and the guards helped Yin Liang to the war horse with all hands and feet, escorting him and Zhang Rong to escape to the rear camp.

The defeat was like a mountain. The Red Army, which numbered more than 100,000 people, barely made a decent resistance in its own camp, was defeated by the First Army Corps, and more than 100,000 soldiers withdrew from the camp in one fell swoop.

After the Red Army fled, the Jin Army pretended to chase and kill for a while, and saw that the remnants of the Red Army were defeated and fled away. The Jin army decisively gave up the pursuit and retreated.

After all, they are alone, and they do not dare to go too rashly, in case they are seized by the enemy and surrounded, the consequences are unimaginable.

Let's talk about Yin Liang and Zhang Rong, this defeat, they withdrew more than ten miles at once. Counting the number of troops under his command, there were less than 50,000 left. The army of more than 100,000 was completely scattered.

At the beginning, he led an army of 200,000 to leave the capital, not to mention that he had not made an inch, but now he has been beaten by the Jin army to less than 50,000 people, and all the grain, grass, and baggage in the army have been lost, so what kind of face do he have to go back to the capital to see the king? Thinking of this, Yin Liang looked up to the sky and sighed.

Now he is disheartened. He even had the intention of killing himself in the short term, he looked at Zhang Rong, who was also embarrassed, and said in despair: "Lord Zhang, this time I ...... It may be impossible to escape, if it is...... If there is really a three-long and two-short. I also hope that Master Zhang can see the friendship between you and me and the palace ministers for more than ten years, and take care of my family......" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but shed tears.

Zhang Rong's heart moved, and he pulled Yin Liang to walk to the side where no one was, then looked around, and said in a low voice: "General, you know the king's character, this battle was lost so badly, and he will definitely not be able to die well after going back, if he wants to live, the general has to run away now!"

"Run?" Yin Liang smiled bitterly and said, "Where else can I run?" Now that my family is in the capital, if I run away, the whole family will suffer." ”

Zhang Rong rolled his eyes and said, "The general doesn't have to worry about this, I will take care of the general's family." ”

Even if he didn't have his family's concerns about this, Yin Liang still didn't want to run away and live a life in hiding, he was used to being pampered, how could he still live the life of an ordinary person? He shook his head again and again, and said, "I would rather be punished by the king than live in fear for the rest of my life." ”

Zhang Rong nodded in understanding, as if he suddenly thought of something, and said in a low voice: "If the general wants to escape the king's punishment, he should be able to be prosperous and rich in the future, and there is no way." ”

Yin Liang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there any way?" ”

Zhang Rong pulled Yin Liang closer to him, close to his ear, and said, "Take refuge in the Jin Kingdom." ”

Yin Liang was taken aback, his eyes widened, and he looked at Zhang Rong in disbelief.

The latter sighed lightly and said: "This is the only way! Looking at it now, Jiankang will definitely not be able to resist the Jin army and the new Red Alliance army on the north bank, it is only a matter of time before the capital is broken, and the Red Kingdom has no way to return to the sky, and now the only way to save the lives of himself and his family is to turn against the Jin State, and the general should not hang himself in a tree!"

Yin Liang took a breath, Zhang Rong was not unreasonable, but after all, he was a general, and let him surrender and defect, it was really a bit difficult to get over the emotional level.

After pondering for a long time, he shook his head again and again, and said: "I would rather die on the battlefield than bear the infamy of treason......"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Rong had already interrupted meaningfully: "Wang Han and Chu Chen, neither of them are from Jin, but after defecting to the Jin Kingdom, they are now the generals of the Jin Kingdom, but how many people in the world have scolded them?

Zhang Rong's 'heartfelt words' completely touched Yin Liang's heart.

After thinking about it again, Yin Liang had already accepted Zhang Rong's persuasion in his heart, but he was just ...... He frowned and asked in a low voice, "But if I take refuge in the Jin Kingdom now, what will my family do?

Zhang Rongle was happy and said: "Didn't I say it? I will take care of the general's family, and there will never be any mistakes!" Now that he had said this, he no longer concealed it, and said with a straight face: "Actually, I have long had contacts with Jin Guo. I have an envoy of the Kingdom of Jin living in my house, and my family has been secretly moved to a safe place with the help of the envoy of the Kingdom, and if the general is willing to listen to my advice and reduce the amount of money with me, I can send someone back to the capital now to tell the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin." Protect the general's family. ”

Yin Liang looked at Zhang Rong in disbelief, this old fox, such a scheming, actually had an affair with Jin Guo early, leaving a way out for himself. But now was not the time to think about this, and he asked with concern: "Is the envoy of the Jin State willing to ...... Will you help me? Will the Kim Congress accept me?"

Zhang Rong patted his chest and reassured, and said: "Don't worry, the general! The general is highly respected in the Red Country, and he responds to every call, and when the Jin State receives the Red Country in the future." It is very necessary for talents like the great general to sit in Chidi and govern instead of the Jin State. ”

Yin Liang believed these words, his eyes rolled, and he thought for a long time, he arched his hand, saluted Zhang Rongshen, and said: "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years." Thank you Lord Zhang for your enlightenment, I defected to the Jin Kingdom. I have to rely on Master Zhang's efforts a lot!"

Yin Liang was successfully persuaded by Zhang Rong to surrender and decided to defect to the Jin State.

In Chiguo, he felt that his prestige was much higher than Zhang Rong, and now he could use Zhang Rong as a springboard, and in the future, he was very likely to be prosperous and rich. Enjoy it all.

But Zhang Rong is not a fool, he has his ideas, and he persuaded Yin Liang to surrender, this credit is too great, and it is of far-reaching significance to the Jin State. The role is limitless, and it is enough to ensure that he will sit firmly in the first position of Jin Zhanchidi.

Yin Liang and Zhang Rong are both full villains, selfish and selfish, and they have their own ghosts.

Due to the concern for the safety of his family, after Yin Liang stopped the defeat, he did not defect to the Jin State, but first stationed in the same place, and asked Zhang Rong to send someone to ride a fast horse back to the capital, contact the Jin State to protect his family first, and he himself took this opportunity to gather more scattered soldiers back.

Now, the soldiers under his command are the capital of his surrender, and the more troops he gathers, the greater the credit he can get when he defects to the Jin State, which Yin Liang still understands.

Let's say that on Lin Haotian's side, the camp of the Red Army attacking his side suddenly became chaotic, shouting and killing, and then a fire broke out. The soldiers of the Jin Army, who didn't know the inside story, were completely confused by the mutation of Chiying and didn't understand what was going on.

Some people immediately suggested that Chiying must have been attacked by their own army, and now they should attack the enemy camp with horses. However, Chu Chen objected, he felt that his own naval army had been completely wiped out, and it was impossible to transport the army to the south bank, and it was impossible for his own army to sneak attack the enemy camp from the sky.

This can't be blamed for Chu Chen's cautious and timid delay, the smuggling of the First Army and the Jin Army was too unexpected, even the Jin Army itself did not expect it.

The soldiers of the Jin Army watched the fire from the other side and watched the Red Army toss by themselves, but as time went by, even Chu Chen saw that something was wrong, if the Red Army was just acting, it would be impossible to set fire to their entire camp, and the cost of investment would be too great.

It wasn't until the First Army won a complete victory and returned triumphantly that the Jin army figured out that it was really their own army that successfully smuggled to the south bank and defeated the Central Army of the Red Kingdom in one go.

With the arrival of the First Army, the soldiers of the Jin Army who were trapped in the camp of the Jiankang Water Division were ecstatic, and people finally saw hope again, and there was even the possibility of advancing directly to the capital of the Red Kingdom.

Soon after the First Army and Lin Haotian and others converged, the defeated Red Army suddenly sent envoys to express that the general Yin Liang and Taifu Zhang Rong were willing to lead the remnants of the army to surrender to the Jin State, and hoped that the Jin Army would accept it.

Hearing the intention of the envoy of the Ming Red Army, Lin Haotian was overjoyed, if Yin Liang and Zhang Rongneng led the army to surrender, it would not only be a loss of troops for the Red Army, but also a heavy blow to morale, which would be too beneficial to his own side. It's just that he wasn't sure whether Yin Liang and Zhang Rong really surrendered or faked.

He proposed to the envoy of the Red Army that if Yin Liang and Zhang Rong were really willing to surrender to the Jin State, then let the two of them come to bear the guilt in person, as long as they were sincere and sincere, they would not be guilty of the past, and they would be rewarded heavily.

In fact, the envoy of the Red Kingdom did not expect that Lin Haotian, the commander of the Jin Army, had already crossed Jiankang and was in the naval camp in the south of the Yangtze River. It turns out that his side has been fighting with the elite of the Jin State led by the commander of the Jin Army, no wonder the Jiankang Navy Division camp is indestructible, and the strong attack of his own 200,000 troops cannot take it.

Directly received the promise of the commander of the Jin Army, the envoy of the Red Kingdom was very excited, nodded and agreed, and then left the Jiankang Water Division camp. Return to your makeshift camp.

Listening to the messenger's report, Lin Haotian, the commander of the Jin Army, was in the camp of the Jiankang Water Division, and happily accepted his defection and promised to reuse it in the future, Yin Liang and Zhang Rong were ecstatic.

After confirming that his family had been safely transferred by Jin Guoxi, Yin Liang had no worries. led the remnants of about 100,000 defeated generals under his command, and went straight to the camp of the Jiankang Water Division.

When the army marched into front of the camp of the Jiankang Water Division, Yin Liang and Zhang Rong each tied ropes and were pulled by a carriage with a small white flag and came directly to the gate of the camp.

As soon as they arrived, the gate was opened, and a large number of soldiers of the Jin army rushed out of it.

Yin Liang and Zhang Rong were supported by their subordinates. Hurriedly got out of the carriage, and then fell to his knees, completely guilty.

Not long time passed, Lin Haotian walked out of the camp surrounded by many golden generals, and when he saw Zhang and Yin kneeling on the ground, he walked forward slowly and looked down at the two of them for a moment. Then he smiled and held out his hand. Lift the two of them up one by one.

"General Yin and Lord Zhang can take the initiative to vote, it is really a blessing for my Jin country, please hurry up!" As he spoke, Lin Haotian turned his head sideways and shouted: "Come on, loosen the ties of General Yin and Lord Zhang!"

With his words, Shao Lin stepped forward. Untie the ropes for Yin Liang and Zhang Rong respectively.

In the past, the relationship between Jin and Chi was close and they often had contacts with each other, Lin Haotian was no stranger to Zhang and Li, and the latter was naturally very familiar with Lin Haotian.

Wait for the two of them to untie the ropes. The two of them fell to the ground again, but they squeezed out a few tears without tears, and said in a trembling voice with crying: "The criminal minister Yin Liang (Zhang Rong), I am ashamed to see General Lin's ......" As he spoke, the two of them lay on the ground and cried out loud.

Lin Haotian helped them up again, and said with a smile: "Before, it was inevitable that you would fight each other on the battlefield, so what is the crime of General Yin and Lord Zhang? Hurry up!"

"Sinner, thank you General Lin for not being blamed!" After Yin Liang and Zhang Rong got up, they handed their respective general seals and Taifu official seals to Lin Haotian in an orderly manner, and at the same time explained to the attendants around them, and hurried back to pass the order, so that the soldiers of the whole army could lay down their weapons and accept the surrender of the Jin army.

Yin Liang and Zhang Rong were sincere defectors, and the soldiers under their command were already disheartened and had no fighting spirit, and the surrender went smoothly, and the Red Army of more than 100,000 people took the initiative to disarm and surrendered to the Jin Army.

With the defection of Zhang and Yin, the blow to the Red Kingdom was too great, and now, the Red Kingdom Imperial Court did not even dare to send troops to attack.

Yin Liang is a general, and the soldiers in the Red Army were originally his subordinates, and if he sends troops and horses at this time, I am afraid that before the battle, he will be recruited by Yin Liang to surrender to the Jin State.

The current battle situation has become very interesting, the north and south banks of Jiankang are firmly controlled by the Jin army, and the river side of Jiankang is controlled by the Red State Navy, and the north and south banks of the Jin Army face each other across the river, but there is nothing they can do about the Red State Navy.

However, the Red Army's navy could not hold out for long, and it lost control of the two sides of the strait, which meant that the Red Army's navy would lose its dock and could no longer replenish its supplies, and the officers and men of the whole army could not cruise the river every day without eating or drinking.

As the Jin army's control over both sides of the Jiankang River was extended, the Red Army had to retreat eastward, away from the capital, so that the Jin Army and the New Red Army could use rafts to cross the river in an open and honest manner, and transport troops and material resources to the south bank continuously.

After all, the navy must rely on the land as a guarantee, if it loses the support of the land, no matter how powerful the navy is, there is no place for it, and the Red State Navy is like this now.

The Jin army and the new Red coalition army crossed Jiankang one after another, and then, the army approached the capital of the Red Kingdom.

At this time, the Chidu Jiankang, the government and the opposition were already in turmoil, every day a large number of people fled the capital, to take refuge elsewhere, even the ministers of the court were also persuading Shi Huai, give up Jiankang, move the capital to the south, temporarily avoid the Jin army and the new Red coalition army.

But Shi Huai insisted on refusing to move the capital, and he didn't want to leave Jiankang and flee to other places for refuge. One is that he can't be an exiled monarch with his character, and the other is that since the establishment of the Red Kingdom, he has been in Jiankang Dingdu, if God really wants to destroy the Red Kingdom, then he must let the Red Kingdom die in Jiankang. Where it is born, it dies!

Shi Huai refused to leave, and even with him, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty could not escape, and people could only accompany Shi Huai to stay in Jiankang.

However, the current minister of the Red Kingdom has no hope of holding Jiankang, and forcing him to stay will only add to the panic and instability, and it is useless to stick to Jiankang.

Especially after people saw that Yin Liang and Zhang Rong defected to the Jin State, instead of being punished by the commander of the Jin Army, they were both reused, one was named a general, and the other was named a southeast patrol envoy, and the resistance in people's hearts was even weaker.

It was under this situation of internal and external troubles that the last major battle of the Red Kingdom, the Battle of Jiankang, officially began.

At present, there are more than 400,000 troops in Jiankang, including more than 100,000 cavalry, 100,000 forbidden troops in the capital, and 200,000 central troops.

On the side of the Jin Army and the New Red Alliance, the number of troops has swelled to one million. Among them, there are more than 700,000 Jin Army, mainly the First Army, the Fourth Army, the Fifth Army, the Seventh Army, and the Iron Lion Army, and the Jade Army has more than 300,000, most of which are the Central Army, and some are local armies that have been temporarily transferred to fight.

In terms of strength and combat power, the Jin Army and the New Red Coalition Army currently have an overwhelming advantage, and what is even more unfavorable to the Red Army is that Jiankang's city defense is not stable.

The reason why the capital of Chiguo is known as a natural danger is because there is Jiankang as a barrier, and now, Jiankang is gone, and the capital is completely exposed, and the poor city defense is too insignificant.

When the battle reached this level, the Jin army and the New Red Alliance army were no longer in a hurry to attack the city, and first launched the tactics of attacking the heart, persuading the defenders in the city to take the initiative to abandon the city and surrender. (To be continued......)
