The military flag is the soul of an army and also a symbol of the commander of the army. Generally, the flag is broken, which means the commander is killed.

So at the moment when the flag fell, a riot broke out in the QJ army. Although Yang Yanzhang didn't know what happened, he could feel that the resistance of QJ County, which was originally resilient, became much weaker at this moment. Even the cooperation between the battle formations between them showed many loopholes.

He shot down several soldiers in front of him, then looked up and found that the flag that the qj army had originally raised high was missing at this time.

Yang Yanzhang naturally could not let go of this opportunity. He shouted loudly: "The enemy general is dead, kill them all!!!"

Hearing Yang Yanzhang's shouts, the soldiers who had not looked at the military flag, subconsciously turned back to look at their own commanding flag. When they found that the flag was missing, they were suddenly panicked.

The flag is taken away generally means that the commander is killed. Once the commander is killed, the military system will be in chaos. There will be no general commander and no general will be in charge. No one can command the army at all. If the battle continues, it will undoubtedly be defeated.

Therefore, the morale of the QJ army was shaken in an instant. Not only that, because Bai Changqiu did die, and all the generals on the camp fled, the command of the army was also a little confused for a while.

Although those generals knew the seriousness of losing command, they were aiming at the archer, and even if they were dead, none of them dared to carry the flag again.

Without anyone to command the qj army, the formation quickly fell into chaos. In this case, the Red Flame Dragon Cavalry rushed out like a stunning force.

After the QJ army was drilled through, Situ Yao, who was in charge of the camp, quickly received the news. Not only that, even the news that the 10,000 Yulin Army camped behind and cut off their retreat was also spread to him.

"How could the imperial court's increase come so quickly?"

Situ Yaozhile was attacked from both sides, and this general attack could no longer be fought. With the army being all over the place, Guangling City still did not show much pressure, and it was obviously unrealistic to break through the city in a short period of time.

On this side, the 10,000 Shenwei Junye who were besieged had already escaped. Without achieving both goals, it would be meaningless to continue to fight.

"Ming Jin to withdraw his troops."

Situ Yao gave the order to withdraw his troops with a gloomy face. Although he was a little unwilling to give in, he knew that it would be useless if he continued to fight.

The situation of the various aristocratic families who are sieging the city is not smooth. The Shenwei Army above the city cast is too strong. Although they do not have much combat experience, they do not need that experience to defend the city. They only need to throw rolling wood and stones off the city wall.

Even if some fish that occasionally missed the net climbed to the top of the city, they just needed to pull out their waist knife and cut them down with one knife.

With their strength, it was easy to do these things. Thousands of soldiers in the aristocratic coalition killed thousands of people, not even a soldier who could climb to the top of the city, and it was extremely difficult to fight.

At this time, when he heard Ming Jin's voice, there was no need to be urged to surrender to the official position. These clans immediately ran back from the city wall.

"What's going on? Why did you suddenly withdraw your troops?"

Because the Cui family was not arranged for a project, they were so excited that they were shooting archery. At this time, they were suddenly recalled, and the team was a little puzzled.

"If I don't withdraw my troops, my people will be beaten!"

Xu Ran looked at him coldly, not knowing whether the old guy Situ Yao was targeting him and arranged for him to attack the city at the main gate. After this battle, he would suffer the greatest losses.

It was not long before he lost thousands of people. If he continued to fight, even if Situ Yao did not issue an order to withdraw his troops, he would withdraw.

"The court has come to reinforcements and cannot fight for the time being."

Situ Yao ignored the arguments between the two and explained lightly: "Just just now, the scouts reported that 10,000 Yulin Army appeared behind us. Although we don't know why they didn't take the opportunity to attack the camp, our project needs to be slowed down."

"Otherwise they will fight out from behind, and we will be in trouble."

"The Yulin Army of the imperial court?"

Hearing Situ Yao's explanation, all the heads of the aristocratic families present frowned. They still knew a little about the combat power of the Yulin Army. With this elite army retreated from the Eastern Border battlefield behind them, they really couldn't fight.

"How could they come so quickly?"

Although their faces were a little gloomy and they were guarding against the Yulin Army who had passed by the prefectures when they sent troops, the Yulin Army showed no sign of mobilization until they took action, so they did not put the Yulin Army in the plan.

But now, they have only been sieging the city for a few days, why has the Yulin Army arrived?

"It's useless to say this now."

Situ Yao shook his head and did not answer Xu Ran's question, but said, "I don't know if I have a plan now, just think about how to guard against the Yulin Army."

"What do you think about just 10,000 people?"

The head of the Wan family snorted coldly, and then spoke, "My Wan family army has about 40,000 or 50,000 people in total. I will take people to destroy them now."

"Don't move rashly."

Situ Yao raised his hand to stop the head of the Wan family and said with a serious expression: "The new soldiers recruited by Yang Yanzhang in the city have been so strong in just a few months. Do you think that as Mo Zizai's direct line, these Yulin troops will be weaker than those new soldiers?"

"They don't need to be stronger than those new players. Even if they are as strong as they are, can you fight?"

“Besides…”

Situ Yao paused at this point, and then slowly said: "The Yulin Army did not take the opportunity to enter the city, but chose to station in the rear. Our retreat path at the stage. What does this mean? Don't you understand?"

"Does he still want to catch me all in one go?"

Listening to Situ Yao's words, all the heads of the aristocratic families were a little frightened. They had a large army of 500,000, and even if the soldiers in the city were added to the Yulin Army, they were only a little over 100,000. For 100,000 to 500,000, they wanted to catch them all in one place. This was really too rampant!

"If we leave now, the Yulin Army will naturally not be able to stop us."

Situ Yao breathed a sigh of relief and said in a serious tone: "But what if we wait for the heavy losses to the siege?"

Hearing Situ Yao's words, the camp suddenly became silent. How difficult it is to hit Guangling City, they are now 10 points clear. If it were before, it could be said that they were not united, so they couldn't catch it.

But today, they almost all the troops were suppressed, and they almost had no results. They lost so many people, and even had no city investment. If they continue to fight, they would lose how many people they would lose, even they themselves are not sure.

So if they continue to fight and cannot defeat Guangling City in the future, they may be beaten by the Yulin Army after they suffer heavy losses.

If this is true, then these coalition forces of the aristocratic families will become a huge joke.

"What are the plans of the leader now?"

Xu Ran looked at Situ Yao. As the leader of the alliance, if something happened like this, he would definitely find a way, otherwise what else would the leader do?

"Suspend the siege."

Situ Yao had no good idea, after all, there were too many forces and too many people's hearts. If these 500,000 people were all in his QJ army, then he would definitely destroy the Yulin army behind without saying a word and continue to attack the city.

But now he can't think of a way to solve this situation.

"By the way, where is Changqiu?"

Situ Yao suddenly felt something was wrong when he said this. The heads of these aristocratic families have retreated. Why has Bai Changqiu not come back yet? Could it be that he has gone to pursue the Divine Power Army?

"The flag of the qj army was shot and the formation was chaotic for a while. Your student is probably going to reorganize the army."

Because after being killed by Yang Yanzhang and others, the QJ army was a little confused, so no one came to report to Situ Yao about Bai Changqiu's death. Only the head of the Yin family saw the scene of the QJ army's flag being shot, so he answered casually.

"The flag was shot off?"

Situ Yao frowned slightly. The sound of the whistle of Death was just now. The people below had reported to him, but they did not say that the qj army's flag was shot off. No wonder the qj army was defeated so quickly.

However, there are no one else except those divine archers in the northern border who can shoot so far. Could it be that Mo Zizai has also transferred the divine arch camp?

If that is the case, when you go back and fight, you need to remind those generals more so as not to be killed.

After all, as someone who has commanded those archers, no one knows the deterrent power of those archers better than him. If he is not careful, he may be killed by all the commanding generals one by one.

"Everyone will go and rectify the military first, so as not to be attacked by Mo Zizai."

Situ Yao said to everyone: "Wait until evening, let's discuss how to capture Guangling City."

"good."

Everyone had no objection, and it would be impossible to fight hard now, so it would be better to take a break first.

After they dispersed, Situ Yao turned around and said to his personal guards: "Go and call Changqiu back and tell him not to smear the army first. I have something to do."

"Here."

The personal guard responded, and then went directly to the QJ army to find Bai Changqiu. However, he had been there for a long time. Situ Yao was almost impatient when he finally came back.

However, there was no Bai Changqiu behind him, only a few qj army generals with very ugly faces.

Seeing this situation, Situ Yao suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart. He looked at the guard and asked, "Where is Changqiu?"

The personal guard knew Situ Yao’s feelings for Bai Changqiu, but he could not hide such a thing, so he had to say to the scalp: “Young Master Changqiu, he… was killed in formation…”

"What?"

Situ Yao was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a moment. Bai Changqiu was in the army, and there were several martial artists in the Marrow Cleansing Realm around him. How could he die?

Before the personal guard came, he had asked everything clearly. He came to Situ Yao and whispered the incident. However, because he was worried that it would stimulate Situ Yao, he only said that Bai Changqiu was shot to death with an arrow and did not tell Situ Yao about his miserable death.

"The personal guard was sent by Changqiu to intercept the army. He was shot to death with an arrow?"

Situ Yao was a little dazed. At this time, there was not much sorrow in his heart, but instead felt a sense of unreality.

In just a few days, Tu Yu died in battle, and then Bai Changqiu. His three disciples, except Hu Ming, who had already died in battle in Yining City, all died under their noses.

"how so?"

Situ Yao shook his body for a moment, then fell directly on the chair, and the generals of the QJ army who followed him didn't even dare to show off when they saw this situation.

Although the incident happened suddenly, Bai Changqiu died under their noses after all, especially Kong Fan of the Chongqiu Camp. Before Bai Changqiu's death, the two had some disputes. Although this had no causal relationship with Bai Changqiu's death, if Situ Yao took his anger, he would have no choice.

Situ Yao sat in the chair for a long time before he came to his senses. He looked up at Kong Fan and the others, and forced himself to say to the others: "This incident happened suddenly and has nothing to do with you. Don't blame yourself too much."

"Go down."

"Mr. Xie."

After hearing Situ Yao say this, Kong Fan and his men breathed a sigh of relief, and then they didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly walked out of the tent.

After they left, Situ Yao had a hint of coldness in his eyes, and then turned to look at his personal guards, "Escaped at the last moment, gave up their military power, and carried out their military law."

"Here!"
