Ji Bu and other noble generals were silent and did not answer the call.
They witnessed the tragic situation of the Thunder Leopard Legion with their own eyes, and knew that this rebel army was not the ragtag group they thought it was, and it would not be easy to defeat it.
However, after all, the army was composed of various nobles, and no one wanted to suffer heavy losses, so they chose to remain silent and let the Xiang family take the lead.
Looking at the silent crowd, Xiang Yan felt sad in her heart. Even at this time, she was still thinking about her own little calculations and calculating personal gains and losses.
"You know, gentlemen, if we cannot win a big victory in this expedition, we will be defeated!" Xiang Yan finally said, hoping that everyone would obey his orders absolutely, "Our real enemy is Qin, not
If we cannot annihilate the rebel army in front of us and take back the two counties of Jiujiang and Dongting, in the future the Qin army will move south and we will be surrounded by enemies on all sides."
"Surrounded? We have the sea to the east and Baiyue to the south. How come we are surrounded by enemies on all sides!" A smart nobleman complained in a low voice.
"???" Everyone looked blankly at the nobleman who was talking. It was just a description.
However, your explanation makes sense!
"I need all the gentlemen to hand over their military power, and I, the general, will agree to make arrangements. Once Jiujiang and Dongting are captured, our Xiang clan will take nothing, and everything will be divided among the gentlemen!" Xiang Yan ignored the noble who interrupted, and
He showed his sincerity.
Xiang Yan knew very well the nature of these nobles. Without absolute interests, it would be impossible for them to hand over their military power.
Hearing Xiang Yan's words, the eyes of the noble generals also lit up. Although Jiujiang and Dongting are not rich, they are still two counties.
"I am willing to listen to the general's orders!" The noble generals of Sishui County responded immediately.
Sishui County was occupied, and they became rootless wandering ghosts. What they need most now is a place to settle down. If Jiujiang Dongting is captured, they can regain a foothold in Chu State.
Naturally, the nobles of the original Jiujiang and Dongting counties would not give up their own interests and responded decisively.
When other nobles saw this situation, it was natural that they would not dare to choke Xiang Yan. After all, they were not only going against Xiang Yan, but also against the nobles of the three counties.
As a result, the Chu army rarely gathered together and obeyed Xiang Yan's orders.
Seeing this situation, Xiang Yan was relieved. He gave away the Thunder Leopard Army for nothing and finally got some rewards.
After gathering military power, the first thing Xiang Yan did was to continue to retreat, create a buffer zone, and then disperse the private soldiers of various nobles into the army, forming a large army that truly obeyed the plan.
"Ci does not command troops, so this is Xiang Yan's idea!" Li Mu suddenly realized after looking at the information sent back by the people in the net.
But this sacrifice was too great. He directly sacrificed the lives of 30,000 soldiers in exchange for his absolute right to speak in the army.
"Xiang Yan is walking a tightrope. This will indeed allow him to completely control the army, but it is not strong. If the Chu army is still defeated in the next battle, then the Chu army will be dispersed!" Meng Tian said.
Xiang Yan only temporarily gained the support of the nobles by doing this. Once the war fails again, the hearts of these nobles will be unstable and they will definitely hinder Xiang Yan.
By then there will be even greater chaos, and even the Chu army will be able to return home.
"No one understands the Chu army better than me!" Jin Yao looked at the retreat of the Chu army and after thinking for a moment, he knew what Xiang Yan was planning.
It’s just that he knew best how Chu State withdrew from Zhao State, so...
"Come if you want, leave if you want, it's impossible!" Jin Yao directly ordered the pursuit.
He did not intend to give Xiang Yan a chance to reorganize his army.
It's just that Xiang Yan is the last general of the Chu Kingdom after all, so he directly deployed the Tenglong Army to resist the Dragon Guard's attack and buy time for the army to reorganize.
"Tenglong Army?" Jin Yao looked at the 50,000 elite army in front of him. This was not a reorganized army, but the Xiang clan's own army. Even under Li Mu's attack, the organization was preserved and only some soldiers were replenished.
That's all, the basic framework still exists.
"Now that you've made your move and understood it, I have to follow!" Jin Yao sighed.
"You think I will be all in, then you are wrong, I will just show my hand!" Jin Yao smiled and directly issued the military order.
"The entire army has entered the first level of combat readiness. The trumpeters are in position and the entire army is pressing forward. I will personally come to the end and annihilate the Tenglong Legion!" Jin Yao stood up, pulled out the long sword from his waist, and pointed directly at the Tenglong Army in front of him.
Legion.
"This..." Wu Rui wanted to dissuade him.
"Chang Shi thinks we still have a way out?" Jin Yao turned his head and looked at Wu Rui.
Wu Rui was silent. After all, the Chu army had a numerical advantage. If the Chu army was really reorganized, their chances of winning would be even smaller. It would be better to directly attack with the entire army, defeat the Tenglong army, and then take advantage of the situation to pursue and defeat the Chu army.
The army fought back to Shouchun.
"Yingbu listens to the order and takes you as the vanguard to penetrate the Tenglong Army!"
"Wu Si and Mao Cheng listen to the order, use you as the two wings, and coordinate with the British and Bu to cover up and kill each other alternately!"
"Here!" Yingbu and the two cavalry commanders stepped forward to take orders.
"The trumpeter is in position!" Jin Yao ordered again.
The trumpeters stepped forward one after another, received the military orders, and then rushed to their respective battlefields, waiting only for the Chinese army's banner to convey the order.
After all the military generals rushed to their camps, Jin Yao finally came under the banner of the Chinese army and looked at the flag commander under the banner.

"Attack the whole army, blow the charge horn!" Jin Yao looked at the flag commander, nodded and gave the order, pointing his sword diagonally.
"Didi di di~~~" The urgent charge horn sounded, and all the Dragon Guards rushed towards the Tenglong Legion like flood beasts opening the floodgates.
"Charge!" Hearing the passionate and rapid charge sound coming from all over the mountains and plains, Li Mu instantly sat up in shock.
This trumpet sound was so familiar to him, as if it was engraved into his bones. For a moment, his blood boiled, and he instinctively wanted to draw the sword. However, half way through drawing the sword, he remembered that he was leading a group of young generals to observe this.
The Charge is not his own order.
"Let's go and see which side launched the attack!" Li Mu took Meng Tian and other young men directly to the mountain to watch the battle.
"It's the Dragon Guard!" After reaching the top of the mountain, Meng Tian immediately saw the situation on the battlefield clearly.
"The Dragon Guard actually took the initiative to launch an attack, and the entire army pressed forward without leaving any reserves!" Li Xin was also a little surprised.
Normally in a big battle, the Chinese army would leave a certain reserve force to prevent accidents. This was the first time they had seen this style of full-army charge.
"It's a desperate move and there is no backup plan. It's a pity that we can't drink together at the same table!" Li Mu sighed, and he could guess why Long Wei did this with just a little thought.
It's one thing to just guess, but it's another thing to dare to do it.
At least if it were you, you probably wouldn't be able to press the entire army like this and decide the outcome in one battle!
