But the military order is difficult, if they disobey the order and escape, not only themselves, but even their relatives and friends will be implicated, so they can only hold on to the last hope to try to deal with the enemy and live as long as possible.

But now it's different, the order of the military flag is thrown, so what about them, the choice is in front of them, whether to fight to the death or follow the order? I believe that as long as they are not stupid, they will make the right choice, although they know that it is the enemy who controls the military flag, but what does it matter to them?

As I said before, fighting for the honor of a soldier and the dignity of a soldier is all nonsense, few people have such great and noble ideas, everyone is just an ordinary person, who is willing to die if they can live.

Of course, not everyone is a coward, or so shrewd, there are still some people who are either red-eyed, or really regard the glory of the soldier as more important than life, and when most of their companions hesitate to lay down their arms and surrender, these people are still rushing to kill without fear of death, and the result is that they are targeted by dozens of ballistae and shot mercilessly.

At this time, Tang Jian's personal guards rode their horses and roamed on the side of the battle, waving the enemy's marshal flag while shouting loudly: "Gao Shun is dead, surrender and don't kill." When the soldiers under Tang Jian's command heard the news, their morale was immediately boosted, and they followed the shouting to fool the strong enemy on the opposite side to disarm and surrender, and at the same time, the ballista also temporarily stopped shooting.

Gao Shun's troops are now very little left, probably less than a thousand people, hearing the words of the other party, the soldiers looked at each other at a loss, or looked at their companions or looked at the officers not far away, but without exception, their eyes were full of expectation, expecting the officer to give up or someone to take the lead.

There was a short silence, when the heavy infantry who was aimed at the ballista at the front put down his shield and spear, the soldiers around him continued to follow, and they put down their weapons one after another, and the expression of the officer leading the team changed, he wanted to shout loudly, but in the end he still did not speak, looked back at his colleague who was still in the Tianxing River and was completely confused by the trebuchet, sighed, threw away the war knife in his hand, and squatted on the ground with his head held in the voice of the enemy army like everyone else.

The sudden change made Yuan Fang stunned in disbelief, pointing at those soldiers and stammering: "Just, just because, a broken flag, they, they, they threw themselves to?" ”

Yuqing and Tang Jian looked at each other and smiled, Yuqing nodded and said, "Yes, it's that simple." ”

Tang Jian explained: "The military flag is very important to the army, it represents the will of the generals of the unified army, the military flag falls, it means that the generals die in battle or give up resistance, which has a very big impact on morale. Doctor Yuan, you should know the importance of the military flag by now, right? As the commander of the whole army, you don't have to be personally involved in the future, if something happens to you, so many of us will not end up better than them. ”

Yuan Fang nodded embarrassedly, when he fought with Pang Ying in Wanmuling before, Shi Ping did not persuade Yuan Fang, but Yuan Fang still personally led people to kill him, at that time he didn't know that a military flag had such an important significance, otherwise he would not be so impulsive.

Looking back at the handsome flag with a Tai Chi pattern behind him, Yuan Fang had mixed feelings, turned his head and asked Yuqing: "According to what you say, we can completely imitate the enemy's military flag to confuse the real one, why haven't I encountered that kind of situation before?" ”

Yuqing looked at Yuan Fang like an idiot and said, "Brother-in-law, don't talk nonsense, the military flag is not an imitation of imitation, besides, what would be the result if two identical military flags appeared on the battlefield?" ”

Yuan Fang thought about it, smiled and said, "You don't need to ask, the enemy soldiers are trapped." ”

Tang Jian shook his head and said: "No, where the military flag is is where the main general is, even if the two sides start a war, they will roughly know the location of their own main general, and will not be greatly affected by the false flag, and this kind of thing is unacceptable to all soldiers of all empires, the two sides are at war, you can snatch each other's military flags, but you must not forge them, otherwise it will arouse the public anger of all empires, this is taboo, Doctor Yuan, you must not fight this idea, otherwise we will be besieged by more empires." Also, as a soldier, at least dignity must be had, and some things are reluctantly done in secret, but if you forge the other party's military flag when the two armies are fighting, first of all, our own soldiers will not be able to accept it, and it will even affect our morale, and it is likely to be defeated because of this, and the gains outweigh the losses. Yuan Fang nodded with palpitations, he really had such an idea just now, and he couldn't help but be afraid for a while when he heard that there would be such serious consequences.

As he spoke, the soldiers who threw themselves had been guarded, their weapons had been confiscated, their armor was being disassembled, and the other troops, especially the miscellaneous heavy armored soldiers and ballistae, were unobstructed and advanced towards the river beach, constantly compressing the enemy's living space until they reached the river beach.

At this time, most of the heavy infantry in the river had already kicked the shore, and the opposite side was their own friendly troops, and the ballista fired at a low angle to avoid hurting their own people, while harvesting the lives of the soldiers behind the enemy army. The trebuchet had stopped firing, and the soldiers in charge of the trebuchet began to disassemble and load the vehicle, and by this time the trebuchet was useless.

On the other side of the river, the heavy infantry, which had lost its command, huddled together, the chaotic dense formation not only did not improve its combat effectiveness but suffered great losses in defense, and the cavalry had several lassoes in a set, which were then dragged down into deep water or dragged back to their own formation, where more enemies awaited them.

The battle ended after an hour, to Yuan Fang's surprise, the losses on both sides were not very large, their own side died less than a thousand, of which the cavalry accounted for most of them, and the heavy infantry only a few hundred people were killed, and there were many wounded, but there were basically no life-threatening medical treatment with the army.

Speaking of the enemy, Gao Shun was smashed by a trebuchet, his right shoulder and right rib were fractured in a large area, the rib punctured the lung lobe, and was flooded by the river for so long, as a result, he was seriously injured and died on the spot, and the heavy infantry under his command killed more than 3,000 people, nearly half of them were wounded, except for those who hung up on the spot, the rest were all captured or surrendered voluntarily.

Such a result can not be said to be brilliant, but compared to the troops and heavy weapons mobilized by Yuan Fang, there is nothing to show off, the same troops, the same equipment, the same environment, the officers present can do it, and even do better, but they do not have the courage of Yuan Fang, they will mobilize so many troops, and it will not take so long to encircle and suppress 10,000 enemy troops.
