In the Ning military camp, Bai Yi'an and his subordinates were also watching the movements of the Chu army.

At this time, the knights of the Ning army who went to invite the battle had been back for a long time, but the Chu army camp that received the news, after more than half an hour, there was still no movement.

Seeing this situation, among the generals of the Ning army, some people couldn't help it and said, "General, the Chu people seem to be unwilling to fight. ”

"Yes, General, the Chu thief seems to want to avoid the war."

"If the Chu thief doesn't fight, what are we going to do, attack hard?"

Listening to the noise in his ears, Bai Yi'an was also a little bored, and snorted coldly.

"Enough!"

The sudden attack made everyone stop, they looked at their coach, and they didn't dare to argue anymore.

As the commander, in recent days, many victories have been approaching one after another, and Bai Yi'an's prestige in the army has already reached a peak.

When such a character is angry, naturally no one dares to touch the mold.

"It seems that the Chu army will not fight."

Seeing that everyone had been shocked by himself, Bai Yi'an suppressed the anger in his heart, calmed down, and then said helplessly: "It must be because they see that our soldiers are sharp and our morale is high, so they don't want to confront us head-on."

And because we have little food, they want to trap us at this point, and when we run out of food, we will easily overcome it. ”

Bai Yi'an, as the former Marquis of Wu'an, was personally trained by Bai Mengyang, and he also has many years of experience in leading troops, so he can naturally easily see the Chu people's schemes.

And after understanding this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

Two days ago, Bai Yi'an led the Ning army to break through the siege, and in order to return to China smoothly, he did his best and exhausted all means at that time.

The results were remarkable.

Not only did he defeat and break through the interception line of the Chu army one after another, but the Ning army was also successfully taken out of the encirclement by him on the Jiangxia side and returned to the territory of the current Ning State.

Under this kind of results, anyone with a discerning eye can see that although the Ning army led by him suffered a crushing defeat, its morale is still extremely high, and its combat strength is maintained quite well, which can be called a strong force.

Fighting with such a powerful army, and this army is also stacked with the buff of going home, I am afraid that anyone who leads the troops will be afraid of this.

The Chu army is no exception.

Therefore, at this time, even if the strength of the Chu people was three or four times that of the Ning army, in order to reduce losses, they still refused to fight the Ning army head-on.

Instead, they opted for siege, a method that consumes less and does not take much time.

I have to say that this move did hit the soft underbelly of the Ning army.

Previously, Luokoudu was lost, and there was no logistical supply, and the food left in the camp of the Ning army was only enough for ten days.

Later, in the large camp, the 100,000 Ning army delayed for several days and consumed a lot of food.

These days, in order to escape for his life, he had to take the initiative to abandon some heavy supplies.

Coupled with the consumption during the hurry, the remaining food in the Ning military camp at this time is actually only enough for one day today.

By the end of today, the Ning army will be short of food.

Of course, Bai Yi'an can also choose to reduce the food ration, so that he can naturally last two or three more days.

But in that case, the Ning army, who couldn't eat enough, not only did not have the strength, but also couldn't exert all its strength. The morale that has been boosted so hard will also be greatly reduced by hunger.

At that time, the Ning army will be very powerful, and it will be good if it can save two or three points in the end.

But with only two or three points of combat strength, what can these 50,000 soldiers and horses do right now?

Not to mention, this only two or three points of combat power can't last a few days.

Therefore, for this kind of strategy of waiting for death in disguise, Bai Yi'an will never do it.

He chose to fight to the death with the Chu people here, and even did not hesitate to take 50,000 soldiers and horses, in order to kill and injure the Chu army as much as possible, reduce the living force of the Chu State, and buy time for the Ning State.

If this is not done, then his own death, the death of this army of 50,000, will be meaningless.

This matter must not allow the Chu people to succeed. ’

Bai Yi's head flashed through these thoughts, and finally turned into resoluteness.

He looked around, looked at the many generals who were looking at him, and said loudly: "The Chu army is cowardly, surround me with several times the force, and even dare not fight.

It seems that when we broke through before, we repeatedly broke through the Chu army, and we had scared them out.

As a result, they are afraid of me like a tiger and dare not fight me. ”

In order to boost morale and stabilize people's hearts, Bai Yi'an deliberately mentioned the previous victory at this time.

Everyone also remembered that they had repeatedly broken the glorious deeds of the Chu people in the past two days, and their hearts, which were still a little flustered, suddenly settled down a lot.

Many people saw that Wu Anhou said something funny, and they couldn't help but laugh a few times.

"The general is right, the Chu people are just like that."

"In my opinion, the Chu people will only use some conspiracies and tricks to fight head-on on the battlefield, and that's it."

"Yes, we waited for today's defeat to retreat here, it is not a battle, the Shichu people are too cunning."

Some people remembered the embarrassment of the past few days, or with the idea of being annoyed and angry, or with the idea of covering up the panic in their hearts with words, and began to belittle the Chu people.

Not to mention.

Regardless of this approach, the morale of the many generals in the field has really improved a lot.

At least it seems that no one is afraid of the Chu army anymore.

Bai Yi'an didn't care whether these people were really contemptuous or fake, and seeing that the morale on his face was available, he took advantage of the situation and ordered: "What you said is right, Chu thieves are not terrible. As long as we are not afraid, under the orders of the three armies, we will definitely be able to break it.

Now that we have returned to Ningguo, there is only Ruichang City, which is occupied by the last Chu people, in front of us.

As long as we break through this line of defense, we can all return to China.

Since we politely invited to fight, and the Chu people retreated and did not dare to fight, then we forced them to fight.

The general ordered the army to leave the camp and attack the camp of the new Chu army.

Defeat this army, and I'll wait to go home! ”

Bai Yi'an's voice was like thunder, and his true qi enveloped his words, which instantly spread to the vicinity for several miles.

For a while, all the Ning troops in the entire camp couldn't help but hear the words of this Marquis of Wu'an.

The crowd was instantly indignant.

"Defeat the Chu army and go home!"

"Kill the Chu thief!"

In the Ning military camp, as some people took the initiative to guide, many soldiers soon shouted in unison, pushing the atmosphere to the peak.

At this moment, outside the Ning military camp, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and then more than ten Chu cavalry began to approach the Ning military camp, and finally stopped and continued to move forward in the area a hundred steps away.

Then along this range, start running and shouting.

"Ning Jun, listen, you have been abandoned."

"Do you think that in your camp, those ministers, generals, emperors and nobles are living and dying with you?"

"Let me tell you, your emperor, and the ministers, ran away last night. I didn't alarm any of you, but I was all stunned. ”

"Don't believe it, look at how many high-ranking officials and generals are there in your camp? Can you still find your Shangguan General? ”

"The emperor has abandoned the army and fled, you low-level soldiers, what are you fighting for? No matter how valuable your life is, you won't be so cheap, right? ”

"The king of Chu has ordered, the soldiers of Fanning surrender, they will not hurt their lives, they can be directly incorporated into the forbidden army, and then they will directly eat my Great Chu's grain."

"Everyone is from Jiangnan, why fight for life and death?"

"There is no way in Ningguo, this time I attacked my Chu State for no reason, and I will eventually be defeated. But this is the fault of the son of Jinling, for his own selfish desires, he is good at swordsmanship. I don't have to be obsessed with it anymore. ”

"Nanchang City has fallen, and Yuzhang has been lost. This is the head of the Yuzhang County Guard, as well as the banner of the Nanchang Defenders, which can be proven. ”

"After Ruichang City, they are all soldiers of my Chu State, even if you escape from here, you won't be able to return to Ning Kingdom, why don't you surrender early?"

The knights sent out by the Chu army to shout are all martial arts masters with deep internal strength, and under the increase of internal force, the voice also spreads far away.

Even because everyone spoke together, it was much louder and brainwashing than Bai Yi'an's voice before.

All kinds of truths, as well as vouchers and corpses, were thrown to the Ning army camp one after another as the Chu army shouted to the knights, in order to shake the hearts of the army.

Dongying, Jia's second camp area.

After the Chu army knight finished shouting, he dragged the corpse of a Ning man in his hand and threw it towards the Ning army camp with internal force.

Ning Jun in the camp first saw a black dot flying in, and thought it was some kind of weapon, so he hurriedly dodged to the side in fright.

When I heard a muffled sound of "bang", the black dot fell to the ground, and after seeing it clearly, I found that it was a corpse.

Someone went up to check and found that the corpse was wearing their Ningjun uniform, so they couldn't help but take it back and dispose of the body for their comrades.

The team next to him also brought people over, and when they saw the corpse being cleaned up, when they saw the appearance on their faces, they were suddenly shocked in their hearts, and exclaimed: "Captain Bai!" ”

"Team Zheng, do you know this robe?" Someone next to him asked.

The team was nodding and said with an ugly face: "This is Bai Jingyang, the captain of Zhaoyi under General Yokono, and the nephew of Wu'an Hou." ”

"Captain Zhaoyi!"

"The nephew of the Marquis of Wu'an!"

When the soldier next to him heard these two identities, he immediately exclaimed.

And after the shock was over, everyone also reacted, and said angrily: "As the captain of Zhaoyi, how did he fall into the hands of the Chu people and become a corpse?" ”

"Wu Anhou's nephew, how can he be outside the barracks?"

"Could it be that what those Chu people said is true, the emperor ran away, and those ministers and nobles also ran away. Just leave us low-level soldiers here as a temperament bait to fight for their way back. ”

"Wu Anhou is lying to us! These emperors and ministers have all run away, and it is not a safe place behind Ruichang at all, and we can't go home at all. ”

"The Chu people occupy Nanchang, and the entire Yuzhang has become the Chu State, even if we run away, where should we go?"

"By the way, our boss, that Xinwu Captain Yang Ming from the Linhai Yang Clan. Since this morning, I haven't seen anyone else, and it has always been Captain Liu, who was born at the bottom, who came forward, could it be that Yang Ming also ran away? ”

For a while, many of the words that the Chu people had said before began to flash in the minds of the soldiers.

Some things that were originally ignored by them because they were instigated by Wu Anhou and were enthusiastic were slowly noticed at this time.

And how to look at it, how to feel unreasonable.

"Liars, they're all liars."

"What Wu Anhou, he just wants to deceive us and give those emperors and ministers their lives to death!"

"We want an explanation, we have to have an explanation."

"That's right, go find Wu Anhou and confront him!"

Under the extreme reversal of emotions, there will always be some extreme phenomena and extreme behaviors.

At this moment.

Some soldiers who saw the truth clearly, felt deceived, and thought that their true feelings were being teased, could no longer suppress the enthusiasm and anger in their hearts, and began to openly violate military laws and regulations, and began to gather crowds to make noise, and came towards the Marquis of Wu'an.

Among the three armies, there is always no shortage of brave men.

Previously, Bai Yi'an came forward with the image of living and dying with the soldiers, and encouraged people with slogans such as "alive" and "go home", which gathered a large number of dead soldiers and willingly served them.

But now, when all these lies have been exposed, many warriors who have been instigated to serve death and have the heart to serve death suddenly find that their so-called dedication to death is so ridiculous.

What they thought was that the Marquis of Wu'an was condescending to them, intersecting with them on an equal footing, and even living and dying together, was all a deception.

Those emperors, high-ranking officials, ministers and nobles, abandoned them early, fled from the camp, and left the place of death.

It is only these low-level fools who think that those nobles of the family, who are noble and noble, will live and die with them, fighting for a way home.

When all this is discovered, as long as there is still a little dignity and a little blood, no one will be able to endure it.

This commotion intensified, and in a moment, hundreds of people gathered in an instant, and they carried the Chu people into the camp, and the corpses of the high-ranking officers who had escaped, as well as various certificates, poured in the direction where Bai Yi'an was.

On a high platform.

When Bai Yi'an came to shout from the Chu people, he immediately noticed that something was wrong, and he was uneasy.

And after the soldiers in the battalion began to commotion because of the bewitchment of the Chu people, the premonition turned into reality.

Looking at the group of sergeants who were surging and imposing, and came here, everyone's faces changed greatly.

"General, what should I do?"

The generals were no longer in high spirits as before, and looked at the soldiers who were rushing in, and their voices were a little panicked.

"There is a law in military law, and anyone who makes noise and chaos in the army will be beheaded."

At this time, Bai Yi'an looked at the soldiers who were in turmoil, and his eyes were no longer cordial and soft as before, but a cold killing intent.

He knows.

After the Chu people were so bewitched, especially after taking out a large number of certificates, the trust they had gained by agitating the soldiers before had completely disappeared.

Those soldiers who found themselves deceived would no longer believe in themselves as the Marquis of Wu An, and would no longer respect and love their own commander.

Therefore, since it is irreparable, it is necessary to do our best to reduce the loss.

"Then go to your respective camps, gather your men and horses, calm the hearts of the people, and quell the commotion. Then wait for the general's order, after the three drums, each leader of the headquarters of the soldiers and horses out of the camp in order, and the Chu people decisive battle. ”

Bai Yi'an looked at the generals and immediately made arrangements.

The first priority is to control the soldiers first and prevent the unrest from further expanding.

Then, taking advantage of the floating people's hearts and the time when they were not completely fermented, with the inertia brought by the majesty of the past, he drove the soldiers who were still obedient to attack the Chu camp as soon as possible.

Otherwise, when all the soldiers came to their senses, he wanted to command the army, but he wouldn't be so obedient now.

"Yes!"

The generals who stayed here were all ready to volunteer to fight to the death with the Chu army.

They already knew the details, so naturally they would not be fooled by Chu Jun's words.

So when I heard the order at this time, I didn't delay at all, and immediately acted according to the order.

And after these people left, Bai Yi'an immediately gathered his own personal guards, led hundreds of diehards, and directly faced the soldiers who were clamoring.

"General, is what the Chu people said true?"

"Did the Emperor really run away?"

"Wu Anhou, you liar who deceives the world and steals your name!"

When the two groups of people approached, those soldiers saw Bai Yi'an and instantly became excited.

"Is it a violation of military law for you to gather a crowd to make a rebellion? Now quickly retreat, each to his own battalion, would have been able to act as if nothing had happened, and not hold you accountable. ”

Bai Yi'an looked at the many soldiers who questioned him, his expression was indifferent, and he didn't mean to answer at all, but said coldly: "Otherwise, all military law will be engaged." ”

"You're lying to us!"

"General, why?"

"Haha, military law is engaged, Lao Tzu is here, there is a kind of killing!"

When many soldiers saw Bai Yi'an's acquiescence to this matter, the last trace of hope in their hearts was completely shattered, and their emotions fell into madness.

Seeing this, Bai Yi'an knew that these people could not be recovered completely, so he no longer hesitated, and directly ordered: "Stubborn, kill!" ”

After speaking, he took action in person, turned into a black wind, and pounced directly into the chaos.

The black wind swept and took dozens of lives in an instant.

The other guards who came from the guards did not hesitate, and raised their knives to kill these former comrades.

For a while, before the two armies of Chu and Ning fought, the Ning army itself fell into a civil strife and killing.

The rebellion of hundreds of people is naturally nothing to Bai Yi'an.

With him, the innate grandmaster, and then leading hundreds of elite soldiers, it was very easy to suppress it.

After suppressing the rebellion, Bai Yi'an did not delay.

Taking advantage of the fact that a killing had just shocked people's hearts and many soldiers were still listening to the order, they immediately gathered the Chinese army, beat the heavy drum, led the army out of the camp, and killed towards the Chu camp.

However, when the Ning army was in civil strife, the Chu army was already prepared and gathered soldiers and horses early.

And after several hours of preparation, even if it was led by Lu Yuan, the Chu army that arrived at the end was almost completed.

Therefore, when the Ning army came, tens of thousands of Chu troops relied on the camp to attack, and the arrows rained down, and the stones flew together, instantly beating the fierce Ning army to the head.

Before tens of thousands of Ning troops approached the Chu camp, they first folded more than 1,000 people on the way.

When the camp was near, the Chu army, which had already been waiting for the rest of the country and recuperating, easily slaughtered the remnants of these lucky soldiers in front of them.

The Ning army was only 50,000, while the Chu army garrisoned in the Chu camp was 80,000.

And in terms of morale, physical strength, state, armor and equipment, etc., they are far superior to the Ning army who are tired from fighting for a long time.

Not to mention, before the start of the war, there was a riot in the Ning army, which caused the entire army to be in a commotion, and the generals were distracted and demoralized.

In this case, Bai Yi'an wanted to fight back and break through the Chu camp, which was naturally just a joke and impossible to achieve.

The two armies fought for only half an hour, and the fierce battle did not last long, and the Ning army could not support it after paying more than 5,000 casualties.

After the death of a group of die-hard loyal Ning troops who were the most able to fight, the most daring to fight, and the most willing to fight.

The rest of the soldiers of the Ning Army, of course, were not willing to continue to work for Bai Yi'an, the high-ranking officials and nobles who deceived him.

And at this time, they rushed for a while, and more than 5,000 people died, and even half of the Chu army's camp was not breached.

With the support of the camp, the Chu army suffered very light casualties, but its own side suffered heavy losses.

Anyone can see that on their side, even if they die cleanly, they can't break through the Chu army camp.

At this time.

Later, in Ruichang City, Huang Xuan took advantage of the opportunity that most of the Ning army attacked and the main camp was empty, and also led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to capture the Ning army's camp, completely cutting off the opponent's back road.

After the rear camp was on fire and the rout of the battalion fled to the front line, the last trace of the Ning army's spirit of fighting to the death completely dissipated.

A great rout, with the appearance of the first man, quickly spread to the whole army.

The remaining 30,000 more than Ning troops either surrendered directly in front of the battle; Either lose your armor and flee for your life.

This trend, even if Bai Yi'an led his personal guards and killed hundreds of people again, it could not be stopped.

And when he was killed, all the Ning troops walked around him, and the surroundings were completely empty.

Lu Yuan, Han Hua, Huang Xuan, and Sun Siwen had already led their troops and horses and surrounded it from all sides, surrounding it in the middle.

……

The second day of the fourth month of the eleventh year of Shenwu.

The Chu army surrounded the Ning army, and the 50,000 troops of Wu'an Hou Bai Yi'an were under the city of Ruichang.

On the same day, the two armies fought, Bai Yi'an led his troops to storm the Chu army camp, killing thousands of people.

Bai Yi, Marquis of Wu'an, was in the middle of the battle and was captured by the king of Chu.

The king of Chu loved his talent and wanted to accept it.

Bai Yi'an does not surrender, please go to death, the king of Chu allows it. Let him cut himself off from his heart, leave his whole body and die.

At this point, the last remnant of the Jiangxia camp of Ningguo's Eastern Expedition was destroyed.

At the beginning of the same month, the two prefectures of Luyang and Hengyang sent back news that the defenders of the two prefectures, with the assistance of Li Xiong, the Duke of Kunhai, successively broke the invading Ning army of each prefecture.

The 100,000 soldiers and horses of the two Ning armies were killed, but the congenital martial marquis who led the army was only spared because of his high strength and fled back to Ning in a hurry.

In the middle of the month, Qing Yunzi, the southern route army of Chu State, led the army to break through the city of Jian'an County, led the troops to capture Jian'an County, and once again sent back the good news.

After this battle, Jiangdong was half of the country and had fallen into the hands of the Chu State.

Ningguo only has two counties of Linhai and Guangling, and it is a corner of Yangzhou, and it will live up to its hegemony.

This battle for the hegemony of Yangzhou, which began in September last year and ended in April this year, lasted for more than half a year, and finally ended temporarily with the victory of Chu.

Ning Guo became a complete loser.

The news spread, and Kyushu was shaken.
