The King of Yan knew exactly what he wanted to achieve.
He deliberately created a frightening atmosphere in order to strike fear into the hearts of the Jin soldiers.
In fact, the explosives they had had been used up in previous battles.
However, the King of Yan firmly believed that "three times is the limit".
Even if Tenwuyan dared to send troops to attack him again, the soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty might have lost the courage to charge forward.
As expected, Tennouyan was also aware of this.
From then on, no matter what orders he gave, the Jin soldiers seemed to be scared out of their wits and never dared to get close to the Prince of Yan again.
On the contrary, in panic, they actually rushed towards Hua Lingyi, Hua Lingjian and others on the periphery.
However, after a series of setbacks, the morale of the Jin soldiers had already hit rock bottom and the battle became chaotic.
At the same time, the soldiers of the Dasheng Dynasty were full of fighting spirit and momentum.
The military strength of both sides was almost the same, but the battle situation presented completely different trends.
Therefore, the soldiers of the Dasheng Dynasty fought bravely and defeated the soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty, forcing them to flee in a panic without any ability to fight back.
This thrilling battle lasted from the darkness of midnight to the dawn.
Tenwuyan was seriously injured, with two deep knife scars on his body and an arrow hit him. But he finally fought his way out of the siege with the help of several of his lieutenants who risked their lives to protect him.
General Sun on the side of Prince Yan was extremely anxious when he saw the enemy escape, and wanted to lead his troops in pursuit, but was stopped by Prince Yan.
"No need to chase them, they are still useful to us."
"It's much more useful than killing him."
Although General Sun was unwilling to give up and sighed repeatedly, he could only obey the order and stop.
After this fierce battle, the results were remarkable. They successfully captured more than 70,000 generals of the Jin Dynasty alive.
It also caused the last of the Jin Dynasty's fighting power to be shattered!
The Great Jin Kingdom was completely defeated this time.
This earth-shaking battle is destined to be recorded in history forever and become a legendary battle that will be passed down through the ages.
The atmosphere in the King of Yan's central military tent was tense and serious, with everyone sitting on both sides.
Qiu Mobai, Hua Lingyi, Hua Lingjian, Hou Yingying, Zhang Fengjin and others sat on the left; General Liu, General Sun, General Lian and several other veterans sat on the right.
Hua Lingyi frowned and stared at General Liu and General Sun opposite him, his eyes full of suspicion.
Especially when he saw those old generals who had followed Jiang Lan in rebellion, his face turned unfriendly. He opened his mouth several times to speak, but in the end he held back and remained silent.
King Yan saw everything and naturally understood what Hua Lingyi was thinking.
In this case, he no longer chose to hide it and simply spoke straight to the point.
"General Liu, General Sun, and all the veterans present here are my trusted generals and are absolutely trustworthy! As for what happened before, it was just a show for Jiang Lan."
Hua Lingyi seemed to understand a little bit of what King Yan said, but there were still many doubts that remained unanswered.
He turned to look at Hua Lingjian beside him, only to see that the latter also shook his head, indicating that he did not fully understand the reason.
King Yan looked around at the people present and found that many people looked confused. After thinking for a while, he turned to Lian Gui beside him and gave instructions.
"Deputy General Lian, if that's the case, you should explain it to everyone."
Upon hearing this, Lian Gui immediately clasped his fists and said, "As you command, Your Majesty!"
Then, he stood up, walked steadily to the center of the tent, and began to explain to everyone:
"My dear colleagues, to be honest, I was once Jiang Lan's deputy general, so I know a lot about her."
"In fact, Jiang Lan was sent by the Emperor to lurk in our army. His purpose is to monitor our army's every move."
As soon as the words fell, the whole audience was in an uproar, and everyone looked shocked.
Lian Gui paused for a moment and continued.
"I believe you all still remember that the Great Jin Kingdom sent envoys to ask for peace and went to Bianjing to meet His Majesty, right?"
Everyone nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.
Then, Lian Gui said in a heavy tone.
"In fact, those Jin envoys were allowed to cross the border by Jiang Lan in secret!"
"Not only that, he even personally escorted them out of His Royal Highness Prince Yan's territory safely."
These words came like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone.
"Jiang Lan has been secretly communicating with the emperor and the ministers in the court, and has been trying to hinder the army behind our backs."
"For this expedition against the Jin Dynasty, Jiang Lan has received a secret order from the Emperor! He will do everything he can to make our army completely defeated!"
"And we want His Royal Highness Prince Yan to die on the battlefield!"
After hearing this, the generals were shocked...
General Sun was so angry that his face turned blue. He slammed his palm on the table so hard that the teacups on the table jumped up.
"How could the emperor act like this?"
"His Royal Highness Prince Yan is the Emperor's uncle!"
"We, the generals, are the army of the Great Sheng Dynasty! The soldiers under our command are also the people of the Great Sheng Dynasty!"
"What's the difference between what he did and treason? He is simply insane!"
King Yan sneered in his heart, probably many people don’t know this!
The King of Liang and the King of Qi are both dead!
General Liu sighed, patted General Sun on the shoulder, and signaled him to stay calm.
General Liu turned to look at Lian Gui and said, "Go on."
Lian Gui nodded and continued, "This time, it was all Jiang Lan who was stirring up trouble behind the scenes."
"He first stirred up conflicts between the old and new generals, making the old generals think that the King of Yan favored the newcomers and didn't value them, the old guys!"
"Then he went on to incite Yang Feng, one of the old generals, to rebel."
He actually succeeded in convincing General Zhou and General Zhang to deliberately delay the rescue time on the battlefield, resulting in the loss of the opportunity to fight. This move directly killed our 50,000 troops! These brave and fearless soldiers died tragically at the hands of the Jin people.
However, they did not know the truth - the King of Yan had already seen through their conspiracy. It turned out that the 50,000 soldiers were not wiped out by the Jin people as it seemed on the surface, but were hiding somewhere else in advance, waiting for an opportunity to move, but not making any move.
However, the evidence that General Zhang and General Zhou had violated military law was irrefutable, so they were eventually executed according to the law.
The death of General Zhou and General Zhang made Jiang Lan more convinced that the 50,000 soldiers had died on the battlefield. So Jiang Lan began to instigate General Liu and General Sun to betray the camp and led more than 50,000 people to leave the camp.
However, the truth was that General Liu and General Sun were actually playing coy with Jiang Lan. They pretended to be obedient and just took people out for a stroll.
