Seeing that everyone was sluggish, the corners of Yin Xiang's mouth slowly raised, picked up the wine glass, stood up violently, and shouted loudly outside: "The great flame is majestic, and the national fortune is long!"

With her shouting, thousands of soldiers standing outside the lobby shouted in unison: "Yan! Yan!"

The deafening shout made all the princes present tremble, their legs turned, and people no longer dared to pretend to be deaf and dumb, they raised their wine glasses one after another, and said in unison: "Weichen respects Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"Hehe, haha"

Yin Xiang first chuckled, and soon turned into a laugh on her back, raised the glass, and drank the wine in one gulp, that heroic demeanor, dazzling, but it was a pity that everyone present was not in the mood to appreciate Yin Xiang's beauty, only sincerely felt that she was terrible, and people's hearts were also full of haze.

After the banquet was over, Yin Xiang still refused to let the princes leave, but used the excuse that they were too drunk and afraid that there would be an accident on the road, so she left all the princes in the princess's mansion and let them live in the princess's mansion tonight.

Now is the critical moment for the Central Army to take over the family army, of course she will not put the princes back immediately, in case the princes regret it, it will be troublesome if something happens, at least until the Central Army has taken over all the family army, and then she can let the princes leave.

Yin Xiang's careful calculation was only fully revealed at this time.

For Yin Yuan, she didn't keep it, and personally sent Yin Yuan out of the princess's mansion, her enthusiasm and reluctant gesture, as if she had a deep relationship with Yin Yuan.

On the third day of Yin Xiang's complete dismissal of the family army, the ministers of the Yan State began to persuade Yin Xiang with great fanfare.

Yin Xiang now has a firm grip on the military and political power of the Yan Kingdom, and she herself has the will to inherit the throne, and the persuasion of the ministers is actually just a formality.

Of course, Yin Xiang is inevitably clichéd, and the ministers persuaded him three times. She refused three times, and it was not until the fourth persuasion that Yin Xiang accepted it 'reluctantly'.

At this point, the new monarch of the Yan Kingdom was officially born, and it is rare that Yin Xiang also became the first female monarch in the history of the Yan Kingdom.

After Yin Xiang ascended to the throne. The first thing she did was to eliminate the potential threat to her from her royal family.

She gave Yin Yuan, Yin Yu, Yin Peng and other brothers and sisters all the marquis, it seems, she seems to be very benevolent, did not kill her siblings indiscriminately, and also made them all marquis, but in fact, she did not give them half an inch of fiefdom, nor did she let them grasp any substantive rights, and also strictly forbade them to leave the capital. The marquis titles of these sons and princesses have completely become empty titles, and in turn, they are under house arrest in the capital by Yin Xiang, and they are completely under the control of others.

After Yin Ji's death, the vigorous battle for the throne of Yanguo came to an end, and Yin Xiang stood out among many brothers and sisters, which is of course related to her own extraordinary ability, but also the existence of luck and coincidence.

After Yin Xiang dealt with all kinds of hidden dangers inside and outside the court, he poured out. Deal with the rebellion of Yudi.

After such a long delay, the situation of the Yudi rebellion is now very different from what it used to be.

Nie Shu has been secretly funded by the Jin State since he was secretly funded. It can be said that the armaments, money, and food were sufficient, and the strength expanded extremely rapidly, and in a very short period of time, the number of troops surged to more than 200,000.

At this time, Nie Shu's self-confidence was also unprecedentedly inflated, and he was no longer satisfied with the competition for one city and one county, and the spearhead began to point directly at the three counties of Jinggu, Fantiao, and Bainan in Youxi.

Nie Shu had already set up to take Yussi as the foundation. Then gradually expand to the east, and finally complete the strategic concept of recovering the entire Youdi, but there are a large number of Yan Central Army stationed in these three counties, including the ninth, eleventh, sixteenth, and seventeenth army corps of Yan State, with a total strength of more than 400,000 people.

If you want to defeat the central army of the Yan Kingdom with more than 200,000 troops. It is difficult for even You people to do this, but Nie Shu has the determination and courage to lead the rebels under his command to attack Bainan County first.

Yanguo garrisoned Bainan County is the 17th Army Corps, among the four army corps in Yuxi, the 17th Army Corps has the smallest strength, just 100,000 people, and the combat power is the weakest, and the commander is not too famous general, a lieutenant general named Dong Bo, who is not well known.

In addition, the most despised thing about the Seventeenth Army was that it had no defensive center of gravity in Bainan County, and all its troops were scattered in various counties and towns, one wave in the east and one wave in the west, which was easy to give the rebels a chance to break through one by one.

For these reasons, Nie Shu took the lead in attacking Bainan County and engaged in a head-to-head confrontation with the Seventeenth Army of the Yan Kingdom.

The rebels in the central part of Youdi actually wandered to Yuxi and took the initiative to attack Bainan County, which was indeed something that the Yan army never expected. As soon as the battle began, the rebel army led by Nie Shu was like a bamboo, driving straight into the hinterland of Bainan County.

Although the defenders of the 17th Army put up a desperate resistance to all parts of Paiknam, they were eventually outnumbered and forced to evacuate their garrisons.

In just half a month, the rebels fought from the easternmost part of Bainan County to the westernmost part of Bainan County, and then went west, and then they had already left Youdi and entered Fanbang Yayue, which bordered Youdi.

After opening the border, Nie Shu immediately sent an envoy to Yayue to meet with the king of Yayue, Xuyiman, and ask him to send reinforcements.

At that time, the country of You and the western state of the war continued, Yayue is one of the many enemy countries of the country, but in the later campaign, the invasion of the country of You Yue army was defeated by the You army, You army took advantage of the victory to pursue, in one fell swoop into the territory of the country of Yayue, and from the border all the way to burn and loot, directly to the capital of the country, and finally forced the king of the country to surrender, hand over the table, bow to the country of You.

After the surrender of Yayue, the You army withdrew to its own country, and did not occupy a city and town in Yayue, one is that the place is too small, and the ambitious You State has not yet seen it in its eyes, and second, don't look at You Guo is a barbarian country in the eyes of other principalities, similar to the barbarians of Fanbang, but You Guo himself thinks very highly of himself and disdains to occupy such an uncivilized Fanban land as Yayue.

For You Guo's 'magnanimity', Yayue is very grateful, and he is friendly with You Guo, and Yayue is really afraid of Youren, and he is afraid of Youren in his heart, and he respects Youren.

Later, the country of You was destroyed, and Yayue, who had always been peaceful, began to move again, sending troops to invade the border from time to time. Yan Guo had no choice but to station a legion in Bainan County, which borders Yayue, to guard the border.

Although the country of You was annexed by the Yan country, the Yayue people were not afraid of the Yan people, and they had no reverence for them, but as a rebel, Nie Shu sent an envoy to the back of the Yayue, but he was treated as a guest by the Yayue people. Treated as a state guest, the king of Yayue also personally received the rebel envoys, and heard that Nie Shu, a descendant of the royal family of the original Youguo, wanted to recover Youdi and rescue Yayue, Xuyiman made a promise on the spot that he was willing to send 30,000 elite people to aid Nie Shu, as long as Bainan County was under the jurisdiction of Nie Shu, Yayue would never be offended in the future.

Thirty thousand elites were borrowed smoothly from Yayue, so that Nie Shu's strength was greatly improved. After that, the rebels swept the Yan army all over the territory of Bainan County, and directly knocked the 17th Army Corps of Yan Country out of Bainan County, and was forced to flee to the territory of Fantiao County.

The capture of the entire territory of Bainan County in one fell swoop encouraged the rebels from top to bottom, and the local people even came to vote one after another, and for a while, the momentum of the rebels was in full swing.

Nie Shu, who played smoothly, was more confident. Preparations for the attack on Fantiao County immediately began.

In the rebels, it's not all you. Among them are also Jin people, according to the agreement between Lin Haotian and Nie Shu, the Jin State has a supervising army in the rebels.

One of the most important supervisors is Tao Yuanfeng, who started with the military conquest order of the Jin State, not to mention his age, he is only in his early thirties. But he has participated in too many battles, and he has followed Lin Haotian since the Battle of Tsushima, and he can be regarded as a 'veteran' who has experienced a hundred battles.

When Nie Shu hit Bainan County. Tao Yuanfeng supported him, and now Nie Shu wants to attack Fantiao County, but Tao Yuanfeng is against it.

Fantiao County was the county with the largest number of defenders among the three counties of Yuxi, and there were originally two legions, but now the remnants of the 17th Army Corps had fled to Fantiao County, where the strength was equivalent to three legions.

The rebels defeated the 17th Army Corps in Bainan County, but in large and small battles, the casualties of the 17th Army Corps were even less than 1,000 people, and after seeing that their side was defeated, their soldiers immediately chose to retreat, so in so many defeats, the main force of the 17th Army was not injured, and the strength was still as high as 80,000 or 90,000 people.

Now, the ninth, eleventh, and seventeenth legions of the Yan Kingdom are gathered in one place in the territory of Fantiao County, and it is even more difficult for the rebels to attack Fantiao County again.

Tao Yuanfeng's opinion was that he should bypass Fantiao County, first take Jinggu County, where the 16th Army Corps was stationed, and after conquering Jinggu County, he could send troops from Bainan and Jinggu two counties at the same time, one south and one north, to flank Fantiao County, and disperse the strength of the Yan Army in Fantiao County to the greatest extent.

For Tao Yuanfeng's suggestion, Nie Shu still attached great importance to it, and listened carefully, but in the end he still thought that he was too worried, his own side is now victorious, and the momentum is like a grandeur, and the Yan army is now defeated, and the morale is low, even though the Yan army in Fantiao County has many troops, but it is not enough to be afraid.

Nie Shu did not adopt Tao Yuanfeng's tactics, insisted on his own opinion, and resolutely launched a full-scale attack on Fantiao County, but in this battle, the rebels' attack was met with great resistance at the beginning, and the Yan army in Fantiao County resisted desperately and launched a bloody battle with the rebels.

In the first battle of Fantiao County, the two sides fought extremely fiercely, and it really reached the point of every inch of mountains and rivers and every inch of blood, the rebels were pressing step by step, and the Yan army was not giving up an inch of land, and the two sides invested heavily in the competition for every city and even every village and town.

A month after this battle, the rebels had only advanced more than 100 miles in Fantiao County.

At this time, the rebels have shown a weak trend, and the continuous battle of the fortified army has also made the rebels feel a headache.

All of the Seventh Legion, half of the Eleventh Legion, and half of the Seventeenth Army of the Yan Kingdom totaled 200,000 troops gathered in the Wangxi Plain of Fantiao County.

Nie Shu, who heard the news, thought that the fighter plane was coming, and immediately ordered to recall the soldiers and horses that attacked from all directions, join forces, and rush to the Wangxi Plain to fight to the death with the main force of the Yan army.

The Yan army arrived early, and there was a leisurely waiting, while the rebels came from a long journey, and after a series of battles, the whole army was physically and mentally exhausted, and it can be said that the rebels had lost three points before the battle began.

Nie Shu didn't care about this, in his opinion, the strength of the two sides was equal, and this one was enough, in the case of equal strength, he was confident that no army in the world could defeat You Jun head-on.

In this battle, both sides put all their main forces into it, and the men and horses on both sides were about 200,000, which was also the largest confrontation since the rebellion of the Youdi rebels, and even the obscure Wangxi Plain in Fantiao County became famous all over the world because of this battle.

Wait until the battle between the two sides officially begins. The Wangxi Plain became a veritable meat grinder, and the battle of the two sides against Maimang's legions turned the entire plain into a living hell.

In the battle, the soldiers of a corps seem so insignificant, and when they are put into the battlefield, they are like stones sinking into the sea, waiting for one or a few hours later. Either corpses were carried down, or seriously wounded soldiers with missing limbs and severed arms.

In the battle of the Wangxi Plain, the Yan Army set up the most typical offensive formation, with the Seventh Army as the main force, acting as the vanguard of the whole army, like an arrow at the forefront, and the Eleventh Army and the Seventeenth Army as auxiliaries, like the tail of an arrow, followed by a strategy to assist in defending the two wings of the Seventh Army.

The overall formation of the Yan Army is both defensive and offensive. The division of labor is clear, on the other hand, the rebels are the undisciplined tactics of the sea of people, among the rebels, there are almost no people who have systematically learned the art of war, to be precise, there are no generals who are proficient in the art of war and tactics in their upper echelons, and until now they still retain the style of bandits, and they are rushing up in a swarm when they start a war.

Encounter the average enemy. With the tradition of being brave and good at fighting and the strength of not being afraid of death, even if there is no formation, the enemy can be defeated. However, when encountering the regular Central Army, and it was also a corps battle, the disadvantages of not paying attention to the formation were completely exposed.

In clan warfare, the role that individual combat power can play is too limited, and the emphasis is on the overall cooperation between the legions and the proficiency in the mastery and application of formations, which are the strengths of the regular Yan army. It is precisely the weakest point of the rebels.

Therefore, when the forces of the two sides were equal, the You army did not have the upper hand from the beginning of the war.

Speaking of which, it is the You Army, who can fight with the Yan Army under this kind of chaotic and swarming tactics, and also start a long-term war of attrition with it, and change it to people from other places. If it was a group of such rabble, let alone 200,000, even if it was 2 million, it would have been killed by the Yan army a long time ago.

Tao Yuanfeng, who was watching the battle with Nie Shu behind, his brows were already twisted into a pimple at this time, looking at You Jun who was like a headless fly, he shook his head secretly, this is a legion battle, how can You Jun still seem to be a chaotic battle? He said to Nie Shu: "General, the Yan army has the strongest attack power of the Arrow Formation, and our army should use the Glaive Formation to break it!"

The Glaive Formation, as its name suggests, the whole formation is like a crescent, concave in the middle, and the two wings are convex, this array focuses on the attack of the two wings, just to avoid the edge of the Yan Army's central breakthrough in the front of the arrow formation, and the two wings slam the soft underbelly of the Yan Army.

However, Nie Shu's next words made Tao Yuanfeng completely speechless: "Ah, General Tao, I don't know, what is the Glaive Array?"

“......”

Tao Yuanfeng had already begun to scold his mother in his heart, you don't even know what the hell is called the Glaive Formation, what kind of battle are you fighting? It is really a miracle that You Jun, who does not pay attention to formations, can hold out in front of the Yan Army's sharp arrow formation for so long.

He held back for a long time, and Fang squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "General, this battle ...... It's really difficult for our army to win, so let's withdraw our troops for the time being!"

"Haha" Nie Shu laughed on his back, waved his hand and said: "General Tao, I don't know what kind of glaive formation you are talking about, we have been fighting like this since ancient times, we don't talk about formations, only about success or failure, only about moving forward bravely, killing the enemy thief, either the enemy dies or I die, in my Youren, there are only warriors with horse leather shrouds, and there are never cowards who retreat without a fight!"

Nie Shu's words made many of the strategists and generals around him nod their heads one after another, which is also the tradition of You Jun all along.

Seeing this, Tao Yuanfeng stopped talking, and was secretly scolding in his heart, so he said, you deserve to be destroyed, you are so different, it is not a pity to die.

You Jun fought with the Yan Army in a chaotic manner, which was indeed a little incredible in Tao Yuanfeng's opinion.

The battle continues, and it seems to go on endlessly.

The regiments in front were all wiped out in formations, but immediately new regiments joined the battle to step forward, and the casualties of the officers and men on both sides also rose in a straight line.

The sky gradually darkened in the fierce battle between the two armies of Yanyou, and neither side had the intention of retreating and ceasing, so they immediately started a night battle.

At this time, You Jun began to fall behind, and the Yan Army's advantage in the formation gradually revealed, but the disadvantage shown by You Jun, who was down, was not very great, and he could still grit his teeth and continue to persevere.

The night battle was far less intense than during the day, but there were still many casualties on both sides, and then the battle between the two sides entered the second day.

The situation of the battle on the second day was similar to that of the night battle, the Yan army had the advantage, and the You army was at a disadvantage, and it may not be obvious at a cold glance, but it can be clearly felt through the changes in the positions of the two sides, the Yan army advanced more than a mile, and the You army was forced to retreat more than a mile.

Seeing that the You army had begun to gradually lose the enemy, and the next battle would only make the You army's disadvantage bigger and bigger, and the casualties would be more and more, Tao Yuanfeng, as the supervising army, once again proposed to Nie Shu that the whole army retreat for the time being, and choose the opportunity to fight to the death with the Yan army.

But Nie Shu's reply is still the same, he swears not to retreat, and he will not retreat from the battle rather than return to the shroud. Nie Shu's ruthlessness from his bones made Tao Yuanfeng completely out of line, he was the commander of the whole army, he didn't order a retreat, and he couldn't help it.

After a day and night of fierce fighting, the two sides entered the third day.

At this time, both sides were exhausted, and they had already exhausted all the tactics they knew, and what they fought was no longer combat tactics, coordination or formations, but the willpower of the soldiers on both sides.

The strengths of the people are finally revealed at this time, tenacious and unyielding, ferocious and ruthless, can endure the pain, can resist the fear of death, there are no superfluous thoughts in the mind, and there will not even be the word escape, only the ** of survival, either kill the enemy or be killed.

At this point, Yan Ren is far inferior to You Ren, or no one can compare to You Ren. (To be continued......)
