The decisive battle in the capital seemed to break out inadvertently. The first one to launch the attack was not the Ming army in the besieged city, but the Chu army trapped in the lonely city. The nearly 100,000 army led by 40,000 Huofeng Army launched a fierce attack from the south city towards Yanglingyi.

The South Gate became the main attack direction of the Ming army, and other directions would inevitably be empty. So on the second day after the Chu army counterattacked, Chen Zhihua, the Western Route Army of the Ming army, immediately took the main force and launched an attack in Xicheng.

Although the Central Army, commanded by Emperor Qin Feng of the Ming Dynasty, did not launch a large-scale attack, it also began tentative attacks every day to restrain the enemy troops in the East City, so that they could not mobilize troops to support other aspects.

The ordinary Chu army officers and soldiers did not know why they had to give up the solid city walls and fight with the Ming army in field, so they could only understand that this was a strategy of putting them to death.

The ordinary officers and soldiers of the Ming army did not know why the Chu army was crazy, but in their opinion, there was nothing better than this. Siegeing cities, especially attacking a capital like Shangjing City, has never been easy. If you don’t pay a heavy price, you will try to capture a capital of a country. Such things are rare in history. Now the Chu people are crazy and willing to go out of the city to die. No one is happier than the Ming army.

This means more warriors can survive.

All the Ming army believed that before the Western Route Army captured Shangjing City, the Chu army could not defeat the Southern Route Army at all.

The Ming army had more than 60,000 southern troops. After experiencing many major battles and annihilated tens of thousands of soldiers and horses led by Chu generals such as Feng Dao, Lan Sixin, Yu Changpei, they could still fight about 40,000 soldiers. It was indeed difficult to face the attack of 100,000 Chu troops.

But it is just a difficulty.

On the Ming army's position, Yang Zhi's flag fluttered in the wind, but Yang Zhi, who was sitting on the horse with majestic armor, was a fake. The one who really commanded the defensive battle was deputy general Zhou Jiyun.

Zhou Jiyun was also one of the few major figures in the Ming army who knew why this battle suddenly started. In his opinion, this was simply the last madness of Min Ruoying's end of the road.

Of course, if he succeeds, it may indeed be a turning point to change the outcome of this war. With the Emperor of Ming Dynasty's love for the queen and his love for his children, they really fell into Min Ruoying's hands. This battle against Chu is really impossible to end.

It was not until this time that Zhou Jiyun realized that as early as last year, the Ming people had successfully instigated Lei Wei, the commander of the Chu domestic guards, and he also knew why Guo Jiuling died in Shangjing City. This made Zhou Jiyun full of respect for the old man. Such a far-reaching layout made people feel infinitely terrifying when they think about it.

Who is Lei Wei? His current status is like Cao Hui of Qi. Such a person has become a spy from the enemy country, which means that the Chu State has no secret in front of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhou Jiyun felt that the battle was about to end soon. Perhaps, this was one of the easiest wars to conquer a country's capital in history. The Chu army's blow to the targeted arrangement of the opponent had long fallen under the opponent's targeted arrangement, and it was impossible to get the result they wanted. They lost their elite troops in such a field battle for no reason. Next, they would no longer have enough strength to guard the city.

What's more, their city is now in front of the Ming army, and they are afraid that there are loopholes everywhere, and they are like a sieve.

His Majesty the Emperor is very angry!

Zhou Jiyun remembered the blue faces of Your Majesty when he was assigned a combat mission. He rarely saw that Your Majesty was so out of control. Long had a rebellious scale. Min Ruoying's move undoubtedly exposes His Majesty's rebellious scale.

The huge cheers on the battlefield woke Zhou Jiyun up from his leisure thoughts. His attention was not entirely focused on the battlefield. With intentional calculations and unintentionality, if the defense set up by Zhou someone could be easily broken by the Chu people, he could just find a rope to hang it.

Not only should we hold on steadily, but we should also launch a counterattack in a timely manner.

Just now, the heavy cavalry led by Thunderstorm launched a strong attack at the moment when the Chu army was exhausted. After the Jiangshangyan cavalry who had been transferred from the middle road followed the opening that Thunderstorm and the others broke, they chased them fiercely, and the Chu army was beaten back in a very embarrassing manner.

The soldiers were cheering for the cavalry who had achieved countless results.

The thunder cavalry commanded by Thunderstorm are indeed unparalleled in the rushing formation. Of course, in the eyes of generals like Zhou Jiyun, their weaknesses are also obvious. Just like the current rushing formation, if Jiang Shangyan followed, they would not be able to come back. They could not break through the current Chu army. Once they were deeply trapped in the enemy, they would be the fate of being annihilated.

After several major battles, only 500 cavalry remained, but it is still a force that cannot be ignored. Being good at using it is still the supreme weapon for large army combat.

"General Zhou, Zou Ming, the general of the Pili Battalion of the Central Army, was ordered to report to you." Several cavalry rushed to Zhou Jiyun, and immediately a general bowed to Zhou Jiyun.

"General Zou." Zhou Jiyun immediately clasped his fists and bowed. Zou Ming was an old subordinate of His Majesty the Emperor's rebellion. Although he was not as good as the old brothers in the Death Camp, he was also one of the most experienced figures.

"General Zhou, Pili Camp asks you for battle. The brothers of the Southern Army have been fighting fiercely for more than a day. In the next battle, please take Pili Camp as the vanguard." Zou Ming said seriously.

"Of course, General Zou's Pili Camp's record is a big deal, and Zhou is about to open his eyes." Zhou Jiyun laughed.

"In recent years, Pili Camp has been in a corner, and can you compare with you?" Zou Ming sighed. If this battle does not show the might of Pili Camp, I am afraid that the former glory of Pili Camp will be forgotten.

After less than half an hour of rest, when the Chu army came again, the one who greeted them was already on the battlefield and was extremely eager to build another battle attack.

Even though he was besieged by the superior enemy, Zhou Jiyun still leisurely adopted the rotational strategy. He was not in a hurry to defeat the enemy. In fact, the enemy in front of him could not be defeated by him in a short period of time. He just had to drag the enemy to play slowly. Anyway, isn't this exactly what the Chu army wants?

They attacked desperately for a while, then suffered failure, rested, then attacked desperately for a while, and then continued to accumulate strength after the failure. They were waiting for the end of the matter, while themselves were waiting for Chen Zhihua to achieve a decisive victory on the West Road.

Of course, the Chu army's attack was not mixed with water. If they had the chance, they certainly wanted to kill themselves, but obviously, if their goal was not achieved, they could only settle for the second best, and use such a fierce battle to attract everyone's attention.

It was something that Zhou Jiyun was happy to see that he was able to kill as many Chu army as possible in field battles, especially Chu Huofeng Army, the leader of Chu army. The combat effectiveness of the Ming army was not much different, and the difference between the old camp and the new camp seemed to be similar. Because every time the reorganization, the Ming army would always widely transfer troops across the barracks. These mobilizations were not only those middle and lower-level officers, but also a considerable number of veterans.

In the Ming Dynasty, no general could turn the troops he commanded into his own private army. Each time such mobilization was not large, and it would only account for one-tenth or even less of the entire army. However, in a few years, the army commanded by a general, except for those senior generals, may have changed more than half of the grassroots officers and soldiers below. This approach not only ensures the combat effectiveness of the army, but also makes the generals satisfied with their own troops and have no soil for survival.

It has to be said that this is a good way to allow the court to firmly control military power. Zhou Jiyun's own subordinates have not yet carried out such a reorganization. One is because the war is imminent, and the other is because the Ming Dynasty court wants to calm the hearts of others. After the war is over, the reorganization will inevitably follow, and Zhou Jiyun has already made mental preparations. This time the reorganization will inevitably be very big, or at that time, it will be very good that half of his old subordinates can stay.

After hearing Yang Zhi mentioned that the Ming Dynasty court was already planning to completely collect the power of recruiting troops to the Ministry of War. The generals of the Ministry of War set up such a yamen. The annual task is to recruit new soldiers, train new soldiers, and then send new soldiers. In this way, the rights of the generals of each department will be further compressed, and future Ming generals will no longer have any other power except for commanding the battle.

The three-year retirement system has already tasted the sweetness of the Ming Dynasty. This policy will continue. Even the best soldiers will not stay in the army for more than five years. In other words, within three to five years, the soldiers under a general will be completely rotated. With a large mobilization, the military control of the Ming Dynasty will always be firmly held in the hands of the emperor.

Zhou Jiyun could have guessed that the biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty, Qi, would definitely follow the Ming Dynasty's practice in the following days. Cao Yun was never a person who was unchanging. When he saw good things, he would take them over and use them without hesitation. In the past, he was just a prince, just a commander who commanded troops, and had many restrictions on his words and actions, but now, this shackle is gone.

The future battle for hegemony will be a fierce collision between two behemoths. Both countries have huge territory, countless Dingkous, implementing similar policies, and there will not be much difference in national strength. This is a even-match battle. Any mistake will lead to serious consequences.

From now on, the Ming Dynasty may have a little advantage. Because Qi is an imitator, various fallacies will inevitably occur in the process of imitation. It takes time to modify these fallacies, and the Ming Dynasty has already had a complete set of mature systems, and countless sophisticated officials and soldiers who have been tempered in this system.

Another burst of intense war drums brought Zhou Jiyun's thoughts back to the battlefield. A new round of attack began again. Although he was just performing a play, Wei Zelong was indeed fighting this battle seriously.

Then come on!
