On this day, Li Zhuo climbed up the city wall, and all the civil and military officials in the court of Da Qi climbed up the city wall.
Each of them held a telescope and looked at the tragic situation in the Liao and Jin military camps in the distance with an expression of disbelief on their faces.
There is no doubt that no one could have imagined such an astonishing scene - the once majestic and formidable Liao and Jin army would be defeated in such a short period of time!
Yes, it was a defeat, and it was a defeat as severe as a landslide!
The originally strict and orderly military formation suddenly became chaotic. The soldiers fled in panic, completely losing their fighting will and organizational discipline.
They threw away their weapons and did not even bother to put on their armor. They only wanted to escape from this terrible battlefield as quickly as possible.
The battlefield was filled with fear and despair, with shouts and screams intertwined together, forming a miserable and thrilling picture.
Why were there so many classic examples of the outnumbered defeating the larger force in ancient times? Because the requirements for battle formations in ancient warfare were very high.
Once the enemy attacks from the flank or even from the rear, the entire battle formation will collapse in an instant.
Being able to quickly turn when attacked is a major characteristic of a strong army.
More often than not, when faced with this situation, the attacked party is often defeated in one blow.
When a huge army suffers a crushing defeat on the battlefield, suffocating panic and despair spread quickly like a tide.
But what really made the soldiers feel completely despair and hopeless was not the brutal enemy troops chasing them relentlessly from behind, but the friendly troops fighting alongside them but also falling into chaos and defeat.
The comrades who had been closely united and supported each other were now driven by fear and fled in all directions.
They threw away their weapons, forgot their vows and responsibilities, and only cared about escaping for their own lives.
These partners who once fought together have now become obstacles and threats to each other.
At this time, the beastly nature in people's hearts will be completely exposed. In order to survive and escape, they will not hesitate to raise their butcher knives and wave their weapons at anyone who stands in their way, even if the other party is their former comrade.
Once this happens, even the arrival of the supervision team will be of no avail.
The supervisory team can quickly kill dozens or even hundreds of people, but the next second, they will be overwhelmed by the sea of people and not even be able to create a wave.
Faced with such a situation, even if there were still some brave fighters who wanted to organize resistance, their efforts seemed so insignificant in the face of the surging tide of retreat.
This internal collapse is more lethal than an attack from an external enemy. It erodes the morale and combat effectiveness of the entire army like a plague.
Seeing friendly forces scrambling to flee the battlefield, leaving behind a mess and helplessness, every soldier who had not given up could not help but feel a chill in his heart, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.
Then there will be a vicious cycle, more and more people will join the defeated and fleeing team, the entire army will completely lose its combat effectiveness and become lambs to be slaughtered.
Wei Yong stood on the city wall, his lips trembling as he looked into the distance and asked, "Why don't they put out the fire?"
Yes! This is the question everyone wants to ask: Why didn't the Liao and Jin people put out the fire? Why did they just let the flames continue to burn?
From the beginning of the battle, the officials of the Great Qi saw clearly that the reason why Liao and Jin were quickly defeated was entirely because of these flames.
Everyone put down their telescopes and looked at Lu Chen at the same time, expecting Lu Chen to give an answer.
Lu Chen smiled and said nothing, but gave the stage to Li Xiang.
At this moment, Li Xiang had taken off his armor and changed into his usual clothes.
In the previous siege, he led his soldiers in a bloody battle on the city wall. Even though he was only eight years old, he was still able to fight to the death like everyone else.
With the help of a musket given to him by Lu Chen, he managed to cut off more than a dozen heads on the city wall.
By the time he was carried down the city wall and brought into the palace, his body was already riddled with arrow feathers. If it weren't for his armor, he would probably have died.
In front of all the civil and military officials, Li Xiang took out more than 20 arrows from his small armor, which shocked everyone present.
At Lu Chen's request, the entire operation was performed under the eyes of all the civil and military officials. After the operation was completed, all the civil and military officials fell silent.
During the entire process, Li Xiang didn't say a word. The officials who supported Li Xiang almost burst into song on the spot, and the officials who supported other princes were also considering the possibility of switching sides.
Who couldn't see that this was Lu Chen taking credit for Li Xiang?
An eight-year-old child, when the army was approaching, could resolutely stand on the city wall and fight, and refused to retreat even after being hit by more than 20 arrows. He wanted to ask, who else was there.
Is this kid qualified to become the crown prince of Da Qi?
If such a child could become the emperor of Da Qi in the future, what kind of great achievements would he lead the officials and people of Da Qi to create?
Compared with Li Xiang, those princes who only know how to stay in the arms of pleasure all day are nothing but shit!
For so many years, the royal family and the upper class of Da Qi have lacked this kind of fearless courage.
Li Xiang now has enough courage and vigor!
Some officials who supported Li Xiang looked at Li Zhuo with great dissatisfaction. "My prince is so promising, why are you still clinging to that position? Why don't you abdicate and let others take over?"
