    "Boombang, bang"

    Due to the long-distance attack, the Hexi Army did not bring heavy artillery this time. It only performed infantry artillery at this time, but its power was astonishing. Eighty artillery shells roared across the sky, raining down on the enemy.  The Yue King's army camp smashed through, and instantly burst into flames and shrapnel flew in all directions. The entire camp suddenly became a terrifying hell. The first to suffer were the crossbowmen leaning against the fence, who were caught off guard.  Nearly half of the two thousand crossbowmen were killed and injured in an instant. Blood and flesh were flying everywhere, and broken limbs were flying all over the sky. The scene was extremely horrifying, and the arrow towers, watchtowers and trebuchet positions that were cared for by the artillery were also unable to do anything.  It fell well, collapsed, fell apart, and the nearby soldiers were also unlucky. They were either stabbed to death by shrapnel or knocked to the ground by broken wood. It was just a round of shelling, and the entire Yue Wang Army was destroyed.  The camp was in chaos.

    "Quick, beat the drums, and order the two battalions on the left and right to attack, attack!"

    Li Zhen, who was observing the enemy's formation at the Chinese Army's headquarters, had no idea how powerful the artillery was. Seeing that his camp was completely in disarray, he no longer cared whether he was holding on or not, so he shouted wildly.  roared.

    ¡°Dong dong dong¡­¡±

    Li Zhen gave an order, and dozens of large drums lined up near the Chinese army camp were immediately beaten, and the order was conveyed to the left and right battalions, which were two miles away from the Chinese army camp.

    "Open the camp gate, attack, follow me, kill!"

    The commander of the left camp of the King of Yue Army was Li Wen, who hurried back to his base camp. Although he was afraid of the power of the Hexi Army, he could not let his father suffer the abuse. Once he received the general's order, he could only bite the bullet and issue it.  After receiving the order to attack, he led the 30,000 soldiers of the left camp to rush out of the camp and rushed towards the left wing of the Hexi Army in a chaotic manner.

    "Zhang Chu, my father has an order, but Er'an dares to stand still. Is he planning to rebel?"

    Zhang Chu, the commander of the right camp of the Yue King's army, was originally a gangster, but later defected to Li Zhen. Together with Yan Wanshan, he devoted himself to doing some shady activities for Li Zhen. Because he was brave and knew a little about the art of war,  This time the King of Yue raised his army, he appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the right army, and his deputy was Li Zhen's second son Li Qian. Although the drums of the main camp were thundering, Zhang Chu turned a deaf ear and did not mobilize his troops at all.  Not to mention sending troops to rescue him. As soon as this situation happened, the anxious Li Qian couldn't hold back his anger. He led several personal guards and rushed to Zhang Chu, and started shouting questions angrily.

    "The young prince made a serious statement. It is not impossible to send troops. It's just that the general wants to ask the young prince for something. It depends on whether the young prince is willing or not."

    Zhang Chu was not angry at Li Qian's scolding. He rolled his eyes, stuck out his tongue, licked his chapped upper lip, and replied with a ferocious look on his face.

    "You, tell me, what do you want!"

    Li Qian has been the governor for several years. Although she is not very capable, her official power is not small. When she gets angry, she really has some shadow of her father.

    "I want your head and die!"

    Although Zhang Chu was greatly favored by Li Zhen, he was not a die-hard loyalist. After a few days of fighting, he saw that the situation was not right. He had already had a different intention and secretly defected to Li Xian. He had planned to take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble. Now,  Seeing Li Qian come to the door by herself, there was no reason not to smile and accept the credit. However, when he heard a ferocious smile, his body just flashed, and he was already at Li Qian's side. With a shake of his hand, he swung the horizontal knife,  But when a bright sword flashed by, Li Qian's big head rolled to the ground. The headless body shook a few times, and a fountain of blood spurted out into the sky, and then fell to the ground.  One place.

    "Little prince!"

    "Lord Governor!"

    ¡­¡­

    The few guards who followed Li Qian did not expect that Zhang Chu would take action at his request. Seeing Li Qian's sudden death on the spot, they immediately became frantic. They each drew their swords and tried to fight Zhang Chu for their lives. Their courage was commendable, but their martial arts were different.  It was too big. With a flick of his hand, Zhang Chu fired several knives and easily chopped down all the guards on the spot.

    "The white flag is raised, we are lowering it, who dares to disobey? It depends on whether my sword is sharp or not!"

    After killing Li Qian and his bodyguards, Zhang Chu took the bloody knife and glanced at the generals fiercely, gritted his teeth and roared.

    "The general is wise, we are willing to surrender!"

    In such a situation, the generals have actually lost any fighting spirit. No one wants to be buried with Li Zhen and his son. If they were not worried about military law, the generals would have fled long ago. Now there are  Zhang Chu took the lead in surrendering, and the generals were happy to obey. After a while, a white flag floated over the right camp of the Yue King's army

    "Order: attack from the left wing and defeat the stubborn resistance of the rebels!"

    Li Wen had just led his troops out of the camp, and Lin Chengbin had already seen it. Seeing that his army was in disarray, he couldn't help butYoudi sneered and waved his hand to give the order to attack.

    "Ohh Ohh ohh¡­¡­"

    General Lin Chengbin gave the order, and the horn of the Central Military Department rang loudly, conveying the order to Li He's headquarters on the left wing.

    "Follow me, kill the thief, kill the thief, kill the thief!"

    As soon as he heard the horn of the Chinese army, Li He immediately pulled out the horizontal sword from his waist, pointed forward suddenly, shouted loudly, and rushed towards Li Wen's troops who were coming in chaos.

    Although the Hexi Iron Cavalry only had 10,000 knights, the impact was as powerful as a mountain collapsing and the earth was shattering. They completely ignored the 40,000 Yue King's troops rushing towards them in a chaotic manner. The sound of horse hooves splashed into the sky with snow, and they were filled with murderous intent.  Immediately, the officers and soldiers of the King of Yue couldn't help but stop charging. The originally chaotic formation was completely in chaos. Before the Hexi cavalry arrived, the King of Yue's army was trampling on each other.

    "Oh, go back to camp, go back to camp quickly!"

    Li Wen once served as a general under Li He, so he knew how powerful Li He was. Seeing that Li He was the first to kill him, his previous courage to lead his troops to charge instantly evaporated. He couldn't even care about his father's camp.  Shivering under the artillery fire of the Hexi Army, he turned his horse's head and planned to escape back to his camp first before worrying about the rest. His turning the horse's head back did not matter, but it caused the officers and soldiers of the King of Yue to become more chaotic.  The slightest fighting spirit was completely gone, and the retreat turned into a rout in an instant. Countless soldiers threw away their armor and fled in all directions. There were less than two thousand who could still follow Li Wen.

    "You little thief Li Wen, wherever you go, leave your head behind!"

    Seeing that Li Wen was about to flee, Li He refused to comply. He ignored the defeated troops who fled in all directions, and led his troops to pursue Li Wen like a meteor.

    "I surrender, surrender!"

    Although Li Wen fled first, the war horse under his crotch was no match for the Arabian war horse owned by the Hexi Army. In addition, he was panicked and there were broken troops blocking the way. He could not escape far when he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him, and he himself  Knowing that it would be difficult to escape the pursuit of the Hexi Army, and asking himself whether he was Li He's opponent, he didn't care about being shameless. He raised his hands and shouted in great panic.

    "Trash!"

    Li He was so fast that he caught up with Li Wen in just one sprint. He was about to decapitate him, but he didn't expect that Li Wen was so careless and surrendered without even fighting. He was holding back a feeling in his heart.  He was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. After cursing in great annoyance, he stretched out his hand and snatched Li Wen up, threw it heavily to the ground, and ordered his guards to come forward and tie Li Wen up.  Only rice dumplings.

    As soon as Li Wen was captured, his soldiers had no fighting spirit at all. When they saw the Hexi Iron Cavalry killing like thunder, they all knelt down on the ground in confusion. All 30,000 soldiers became so obedient.  The prisoners, and counting Zhang Chu's surrender, the Yue King's army, which originally only numbered more than 100,000, only had more than 40,000 remnants in the camp still cowering under the artillery attack of the Hexi Army. At this point, the war can be said to have basically ended.  foregone conclusion.

    "Prepare all artillery positions, extend your fire, and fire rapidly!"

    After several rounds of fire, the artillery regiment of the Hexi Army had completely cleaned the outside of the Yue Wang Army camp. The fences, antlers, arrow towers and other defensive fortifications had long since disappeared. The ballistas and trebuchets that had barely fired a few counterattacks were  The position was turned into a scorched earth. At this moment, the Yue Wang Army camp, even the girl who had taken off her last fig leaf, could only wait helplessly for the Hexi Army to give her a fatal blow. She no longer had the slightest ability to resist.  However, Su Qingsheng refused to give up. He waved the little red flag in his hand and issued firing orders repeatedly. After several rounds of artillery fire, the entire Yue Wang Army camp was completely in chaos. The soldiers could not find the officers.  The officers could not find soldiers, so everyone was running around the camp like headless flies, trying to find a safe place that was not covered by artillery fire.

    "Your Majesty, the general has asked for orders to attack, and I sincerely ask for your permission!"

    Seeing his former colleagues killing so freely, Zhang Mingwu, who was afraid of not being able to catch up, could no longer hold back anymore. He blushed and approached Li Xian, pleading with a grimace.

    "Well, let's go, go north, and let me capture that old thief Li Zhen alive!"

    Zhang Mingwu has followed Li Xian for many years and has been serving in the Guards. He is a loyal person and has strong abilities. Li Xian intends to reuse him and will not fail to give him a chance to show off.  After pondering, he agreed to Zhang Mingwu's request to attack.

    "Promise, I will obey the order in the end!"

    After waiting for a long time, Zhang Mingwu finally got the chance to attack. Zhang Mingwu was so excited that he hurriedly responded, jumped down the city gate tower, got on his horse, raised his sword, and shouted  He shouted: "Open the city gate!"

    ? ???Creak¡­¡±

    Zhang Mingwu gave the order, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city rushed forward, removed several thick door latches, and pushed the thick city gate open with shouts.

    "Follow me, attack, attack!"

    As soon as the city gate opened, Zhang Mingwu impatiently kicked his horse under his crotch, led the 1,500 East Palace Guards who were ready to go, led the officers and soldiers to leap out of the city gate hole, and followed the tangent at high speed towards the Yue King's army.  The north side of the camp rushed over.

    "Order: The right-wing cavalry attacks, sweeps away the bandits, and the front-line infantry formation moves forward!"

    The movement of Zhang Mingwu's troops was the signal for a general attack. Lin Chengbin did not dare to neglect it. Except for the central army he led, which did not move, he sent out all the front and right armies.

    "Attack!"

    As the trumpet of the central army sounded, Wang Bing's troops on the right wing took the lead in launching a sprint. Ten thousand cavalry rushed into the Yue King's camp from the right like thunder. Immediately, the front army's war drums rumbled and they lined up.  The four square formations of the Army's First Division also pressed forward across the artillery positions. As they walked, they fired with skillfully, mowing down to the ground all the officers and soldiers of the King of Yue who dared to rush up to intercept.

    As the attack of the two Hexi armies began, the Yue King's army completely collapsed. Countless officers and soldiers knelt down on the spot, raised their hands, and became prisoners honestly. Seeing that the situation was over, Li Zhen led more than a hundred personal guards and left them behind.  After defeating the rebel army, he escaped from the camp from the north and ran all the way to Luohe. He planned to cross the river and escape back to Tangzhou. Although this was a good wish, it was a pity that Zhang Mingwu, who had already outflanked him, refused to fulfill his wish.  , with just one charge, the last resistance of the Yue Wang Army was defeated. As for Li Zhen himself, he could not escape and was captured alive by Zhang Mingwu. At this point, a large-scale rebellion had come to an end.  !

    Victory, finally victory!

    Li Xian no longer paid attention to the chaotic battlefield below the city. Instead, he raised his head, squinted his eyes, and looked at Asahi, who had climbed to three poles high. His heart was filled with passion. It was not easy. After nearly twenty years of hard work,  Today, I finally achieved my wish. Although there is still a long way to go, both the political system and the military system have many areas that urgently need to be reformed. There is still a big food that needs to be destroyed, and the grassland tribes also need to re-plan, and so on.  There are many things going on, but with enough power in hand, Li Xian believes that they are not difficult. Winter is over, and spring is coming next, and spring is always the most beautiful season, isn't it?
