I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three days have passed quietly.

During these three days, the entire Jingzhou underwent earth-shaking changes, and countless small towns all replaced their flags with the dragon flags symbolizing Taiping County.

Except for Jingzhou City, the entire Jingzhou fell!

"Sir, we are ten miles ahead to Jingzhou City!"

"Sir, Song Mingxuan and Zhao Shun have deployed a large army outside Jingzhou City, claiming to have an army of 300,000!"

As news came in one after another, Jiang Yuan's face remained calm: "It seems that Song Mingxuan is planning to intercept me outside Jingzhou City."

"Pass on my military order. Have Tongtian and Kunpeng each lead 20,000 cavalry as the vanguard to prevent their cavalry from suddenly charging."

"Mobilize all remaining artillery battalions to the front, and have the Taiping cavalry provide support and protect the artillery battalions."

After issuing a few orders, Jiang Yuan stood up and walked out of the carriage bridge, jumped on his horse, donned the Emperor's Sword, and whipped his horse.

The distance of ten miles passed in a flash. When Jiang Yuan led his troops to arrive, Song Mingxuan had already deployed his troops and waited for a long time. At the front, rows of chevaux de frise stood, as if waiting for Jiang Yuan to send his cavalry to die.

"Haha! Are all you people from Taiping County cowards? You've been here for so long, why don't you dare charge into our front line?"

In the center of the formation, Song Mingxuan held a large flag in his hand and smiled with a rather crazy look.

"Sir, this kid is too arrogant. Please allow me to lead people to charge!" Tongtian said angrily.

"Alas!" Jiang Yuan waved his hand calmly: "Don't you see that their formation is quite perfect? ​​If someone who doesn't understand the formation rushes in, how could they survive?"

Tongtian was anxious. They were all top-notch figures in the grassland. Who would dare to be arrogant in front of him, even if they came to Taiping County, although it was nominally a subsidiary tribe of the Shenlong tribe?

But he has known a lot over the years. As long as they are obedient and don't cause trouble, Jiang Yuan doesn't bother to care about them.

How could he bear it when someone pointed at his nose and scolded him?

"Sir, are we just going to let him keep scolding us?" Kunpeng said angrily.

Jiang Yuan calmly reached out and took a loud speaker: "Song Mingxuan, according to the old rules, I will give you one word of time. If you don't surrender, you will be treated the same as Ding Ziyan in Luoyun City."

"Oh, by the way, soldiers in the front, listen up too! Ning Fei murdered the king and deserves death!"

"You have joined him in the rebellion and are considered rebels. Even if you die in battle, your names will be etched in history books, cursed by millions, and you will never rest in peace even after death!"

"Listen up to me, everyone. In this hour, if anyone is willing to turn from evil to good, I will forgive all the things they have done!"

"Jiang Yuan! Stop talking nonsense! You are the rebels!" Song Mingxuan yelled.

Jiang Yuan sneered and raised the Emperor's Sword in his hand: "Song Mingxuan, look at what I have in my hand. Don't you recognize the Emperor's Sword?"

"I, Jiang Yuan, have received the Emperor's secret order to recover the mountains and rivers and save the people from disaster!"

After saying that, Jiang Yuan put down his arms and no longer cared about what Song Mingxuan said. He just looked at him quietly. The cannons had already been lined up behind him. With just one order, a hundred cannons would fire at the same time. What a scene! Haha.

In the distant military formation, Song Mingxuan felt a little uneasy and he couldn't help but look at Zhao Shun beside him.

"Zhao Shun, how did Jiang Yuan manage to capture Luoyun City in just one day? I still can't figure out how he did it."

Zhao Shun pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head: "If you can't figure it out, how can I possibly know? Logically speaking, Ding Ziyan leading an army of 100,000, no matter how weak he is, he won't be unable to hold out for a day."

"Moreover, the most important thing is that not even a single soldier has escaped from Luoyun City in these days. We have no idea what's going on."

Song Mingxuan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's because there is no news at all that I feel unsure."

"Ding Ziyan's previous experience is a lesson before us. Luoyun City is no worse than Jingzhou City behind us. Although no one escaped, I sent people to check afterwards. The city collapsed more than ten meters. I really can't figure out how Jiang Yuan did it."

Zhao Shun nodded in sudden realization. "I see. No wonder you sent 300,000 troops out of the city to fight the enemy. If the city walls were blown open in front of everyone, our morale would be completely shattered."

"But I still can't figure out why Jiang Yuan dared to say that in just one word." Song Mingxuan frowned deeply, and then waved the military flag in his hand repeatedly.

In the front formation, more than a thousand heavily armored soldiers immediately began to move to the front of the team, with two-inch thick shields standing in front, and the spears of the soldiers behind them were placed on the shields, ready to stab at any time.

Seeing this scene, Song Mingxuan finally felt a little more confident.

"I just don't believe it. There are 300,000 of us here. Even if we stretched out our necks for them to chop off, it would take days."

In the distance, Jiang Yuan sneered. "Shield? Is it useful?"

No, do you really think I want to send the cavalry to charge?

In the blink of an eye, a word of time passed quietly. Jiang Yuan waved his hand without saying a word and asked Kunpeng and Tongtian to retreat with their men.

After a while, the cannon behind them appeared in front of everyone, and Song Mingxuan and Zhao Shun looked at each other at the same time.

"This... could it be a crossbow cart?" Song Mingxuan stared with his eyes wide open, trying to see it as clearly as possible.

"No way, I didn't see any bowstring." Zhao Shun wondered.

Jiang Yuan slowly retreated behind the artillery battalion, drew out the Emperor's Sword and pointed it at Song Mingxuan.

"Song Mingxuan, Zhao Shun, the time for one word has passed, and I have no patience anymore."

"Ruthless!" Song Mingxuan snorted coldly, waving the military flag with both hands: "Stop talking nonsense to me, Jiang Yuan, if you have the guts, break our army formation, otherwise stop talking nonsense here!"

Jiang Yuan curled his lips in disdain: "Song Mingxuan, do you think your military formation is so powerful?"

"Do you really think that if you form a military formation, no one can break it? You're really ridiculous. You're just making a turtle shell and letting people attack you, and I'm forming a military formation for you to fight."

"Do you dare? You don't dare. You, Song Mingxuan, are a complete wimp and a coward!"

"In my opinion, you are as ridiculous as your army!"

Jiang Yuan finished speaking, and suddenly dropped the Emperor's Sword in his hand: "Fire!"

In an instant, the artillery battalion that had been prepared long ago immediately ignited, and a burst of flames lit up.

Boom boom boom!

boom!

One shell after another flew rapidly towards Song Mingxuan's army.

At this moment, Song Mingxuan was stunned. With his strength, he could only barely catch the balls rushing towards his own army.

"Raise your shield!" Song Mingxuan shouted hurriedly.

boom!

As a shell fell into the army formation, several soldiers were instantly knocked away by the impact. Song Mingxuan could only watch as a dazzling light suddenly appeared, followed by a sudden loud noise.

At the same time, countless shells fell in the military formation. With such a densely packed position, each shell could easily take the lives of more than ten people.

One hundred artillery pieces took the lives of tens of thousands of people in the first round of firing. This scene made Song Mingxuan stand there in a daze.

Before the two men could react, the second round of shells was fired again.

For a moment, the entire army was filled with cries for their parents, blood and flesh were flying everywhere, and the army formation that had been indestructible just now was instantly shattered, and countless soldiers rushed to Jingzhou City behind them.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the third round of artillery fire came again. Although the soldiers had started to run back, they still left countless corpses in the same place.

After three rounds of artillery fire, a large number of cavalry rushed forward like a flood.

Song Mingxuan and Zhao Shun finally came to their senses at this time.

"Everyone, get back! The enemy is charging. No one can escape if this continues!"

"Everyone come back and form a new battle formation!"

The two men shouted until their mouths were dry, but still no soldiers paid any attention to them. After witnessing the power of Taiping County's artillery, these soldiers had only one thought in their minds: escape! Escape back to Jingzhou City, where the city walls might be able to stop them for a while.

"Retreat! There's no more fighting!" Song Mingxuan spoke hurriedly, and at the same time pulled Zhao Shun onto the horse and galloped towards Jingzhou City.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but smile. Among Song Mingxuan's 300,000 troops, there were only tens of thousands of cavalry. These guys could certainly run away.

But what about the remaining 100,000 or 200,000 infantrymen?

No matter how fast they run, can they outrun the barbarians' war horses?

Soon, the barbarian cavalry caught up with the last cavalry. They didn't need to do anything at all. They just needed to hold the long swords in their hands upright to easily reap lives.

"Advance the entire army!"

Jiang Yuan waved his hand lightly. The cavalry had already advanced, but it was impossible for the cavalry to rush into Jingzhou City. The battle was not over yet. Although the finishing work would be easy, it had to be done from beginning to end.

The cavalry was reaping the harvest in front, and Jiang Yuan led the large army to continue advancing. Corpses fell on the road, and broken limbs and flesh shattered by artillery shells were scattered everywhere on the roadside.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but shake his head. The cavalry in front were still waving their long swords. More than 100,000 infantrymen would be slaughtered wantonly before entering Jingzhou City.

This place is at least three to five hundred meters away from Jingzhou City. I don’t know how many soldiers will die on the road.

Soon, when Jiang Yuan stopped in front of Jingzhou City, the gate of Jingzhou City finally closed slowly, and some soldiers who ran slowly knocked on the gate helplessly.

However, how could the soldiers inside the city open the door? What awaited the soldiers outside the door was the ruthless bullets of the musket battalion.

"Listen up, defenders within the city! You have one minute to open the gates and surrender, or we'll take the city and leave no one alive!"

Jiang Yuan's voice rang out again, and Song Mingxuan and Zhao Shun, who had fled back to the city in a panic, both looked at each other with pale faces.

What should I do?

An army of 300,000 was beaten and forced to flee in a panic in an instant. Even if they ran back to Jingzhou City now, could they really withstand Jiang Yuan's strange weapon?

Luoyun City couldn't hold on, so can Jingzhou City under their feet?
