As we all know, from ancient times to the present, in wars, morale has occupied the main factor in addition to hard power.

What happened in one go, and then declined, and three times exhausted. During World War II, Japan fought against the Kuomintang, one brigade and one division, or tens of thousands of Italians surrendered to hundreds of British people, and helped themselves build a prisoner camp.

We were against Ah San's counterattack. Four of us defeated hundreds of people and even issued a famous saying that the enemy not only refused to surrender, but actually fought back at me.

All of these are naturally an illustration that morale in ancient times and modern armies is particularly important.

This also explains why millions of pigs cannot be caught in three days and three nights, but millions of troops can be settled in one day. Without morale, soldiers only want to surrender and send him weapons, but he will not use them.

In today's tenth century, insufficient food and the generals treat soldiers and other harshly will affect morale, but the main reason is the loss of war.

Even if the iron ball of the artillery jumped on the ground, it could not kill many people. However, this fearful and irresistible damage caused Song Jun's morale to plummet.

This is a weapon that has never been encountered, and it is also a weapon that is too random. Even if you are careful, it may kill you or burn you.

It's hard to defend against-

There were artillery on his head and Tang army fighting in front. When the Song army reached this point, they naturally had no desire to fight, their morale plummeted, and fear spread to everyone's hearts.

At this time, surrender became the best way.

No, this is called turning things around, and getting things right.

Zhao Kuangyin stood on the wall, looking at the dispersed soldiers, and his face turned red: "Let the rear army enter the city in an orderly manner, and cover the front army and the central army."

Of course he knew that once the city gate was opened, the chaotic infantry would definitely flock to it. The crowding and trampling would lead to a large number of casualties. This war was really defeated.

However, preserving the vitality means hope and a comeback, even if there is too much sacrifice, it is worth it.

When Li Jia saw it, he understood his thoughts. He quickly said to Liu Guangyi and Cao Bin: "Let the cavalry and infantry shout in official words that they will surrender and not kill them. These Song soldiers have now changed their surname to Li."

"No——" Many generals agreed to the promise. With the emergence of the Shenwu General, the war situation reversed and a refreshing war was about to end. Everyone was extremely happy.

So they rode their horses and bent their bows, rushed into the battlefield, constantly greeting and shouting.

With the threat of the Tang army and the words of surrendering and not killing, the morale of the Song army accelerated to collapse. At this time, loyalty had dispersed, and only life was preserved in the brain.

Many people knelt down and surrendered, one row after another. With the complete victory of the cavalry, the infantry also moved to victory and peak.

At this time, more than an hour had passed on the battlefield, and ten thousand reinforcements from Ximen could not wait to appear on the battlefield, making the morale of the Song army reach freezing point.

No more resistance.

"How could it be so fast?" The reinforcements were surprised. Didn't it say that there was a fraud in the East Gate? The main force of the Song army was at the East Gate? Why did it seem so easy to defeat?

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin only gathered three or four thousand remaining soldiers, and then closed the city gate in shame and kept the state strictly.

At this time, the Song army outside the city was completely abandoned, and the choice to surrender was to accept his fate. In the blink of an eye, the scene of smoke filled the air disappeared.

Li Jia was quite happy and no longer cared about Zhao Kuangyin in Luoyang City. He led the cavalry and more than 10,000 infantry to the South Gate.

Zhang Weiqing fought hard.

Sure enough, the Song army here did not know the situation in the East Gate, but heard the roar after sound. Now that we saw the arrival of the Tang army reinforcements, we didn’t know where the war was a failure.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Cao Han looked in disbelief: "How could the official family be defeated? How could it be defeated!"

But reality forced him to wake up.

The Song army, which was originally in an advantage, was suddenly attacked by the Tang army and was instantly stunned.

Then, he was besieged and attacked. The Tang army at the South Gate reached 80,000, while the Song army had only 30,000, and the reinforcements were still high-spirited new forces. How can we fight?

In less than two quarters of an hour, the Song army was defeated and surrounded by 80,000 people and blocked under the city wall, but the city gate just dared not open.

If this is opened, the Tang army will definitely enter the city together.

It was something Cao Han never expected to fall into such a predicament.

If he doesn't surrender, he has no doubt that those people will tie him up and surrender, it would be better to take the initiative and the treatment may be better.

The government has all lost, I really can't blame me!

He sighed secretly, and he fainted helplessly.

Apparently he lost too much blood and fell into a coma.

So, after an hour of stalemate, the chief general Cao Han was unconscious, and his subordinates had no choice but to lead the remaining soldiers to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, the sun had moved through the sky and time had come to the hour of the morning.

At this time, Pan Chongche, who served as the Central Horse, also led the captured Song army to come late.

All three groups of soldiers and horses won.

The prisoners were counted and continued until late at night.

Li Jia has always been full of energy and excited. Luoyang City has become a treasure.

"Your Majesty, this battle lasted from Chen to less than three hours. In about three hours, our army suffered nearly 40,000 casualties, of which more than 10,000 cavalrymen were the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong."

Pan Chongche was also extremely excited. Although he made little contributions, he at least took Ximen. He hurriedly reported: "Among them, Ximen captured more than 9,000 Song troops and killed about 6,000."

"And the South Gate also captured 25,000 Song troops and killed 5,000 people."

"The East Gate captured nearly 30,000 prisoners, including more than 9,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantrymen, and killed a total of 12,000 people. The fleeing soldiers were indefinitely."

"In other words, we captured 65,000 people, killed 23,000, and there are still 10,000 or 20,000 people guarding Luoyang City?"

The emperor's 99 multiplication method was memorized very well, and he summed it up in an instant, and couldn't help but snatch the words.

"That's exactly that." Pan Chongche said excitedly: "After this battle, the main force brought by the Song army from Kaifeng has been completely wiped out, and it has basically been wiped out at the East Gate. Your Majesty's command is the first achievement in this battle."

"Even so, we lost 40,000 people in just three hours, especially the cavalry of the Imperial Camp. More than half of the losses were lost, so the lesson was still too big."

The emperor curled his smile and said earnestly: "We should take this as a warning to the easy victory."

Zhang Weiqing nodded, glanced at Pan Chongche, and lowered his head again.

Pan Chongche smiled awkwardly.

"Governor Pan, you will take care of the prisoners, and you must deal with them well, so don't make any mistakes."

"No--" Pan Chongche responded excitedly.

"Governor Zhang, you will take care of the wounded, whether it is the Tang army or the Song army, you will be properly placed."
