At this time, because of the appearance of the divine newspaper, all the soldiers of the court understood that good things they had never dared to think of before had been written into the "Da Ming Law", which was so real that they could not be real anymore. Therefore, their previously suppressed morale suddenly burst out.

The thieves on the opposite side were furious, making them not know how to fight back. As a result, the military order came down.

The reason why "Defending the Yellow River" is classic is that the lyrics reflect the content of the times, but also because it can be easily spoken, simple and easy to sing, so it can be widely spread.

Therefore, since the song was born out of thin air when I crossed the Yellow River, everyone in the army could sing it.

After all, in this era, first, there is no entertainment and cannot disperse energy; second, this song sings the justice of their war.

Therefore, when the military order was over, all the soldiers held their breath and suddenly released it.

"The wind is roaring, the horse is roaring..."

The number of people on the imperial government army was only about 50,000, but the singing momentum immediately overwhelmed the noise of the thieves on the opposite side without any suspense.

Moreover, this is because the whole army sang together, such a thing has never happened before. Therefore, when the thief on the opposite side heard it, he subconsciously shut up and wanted to hear clearly what the other party was doing?

Even far away, the bandits who didn't know what the two armies were doing in front of the formation could clearly hear the movements of the opposite army. Suddenly, the bandits who were wandering around turned their heads in surprise and looked towards the distant court officials.

"What are you doing there? Such a big momentum?"

"It seems like I'm singing a song! Is this a ghost? In front of the two armies, there's a war, and they actually started singing a song?"

"Listen, defend your hometown and defend the Yellow River, are they singing about war?"

“…”

The song "Defend the Yellow River" can be sung repeatedly. And the lyrics are actually very short, and it is finished in one go, and it is correct to sing it repeatedly.

At this moment, when the soldiers of the imperial government army roared out, they felt very comfortable because this song vented all the emotions in their hearts at this time.

We are fighting, and we are fighting to defend our hometown, we are just...

As they sang this song, such thoughts appeared in their minds. Therefore, when the military order was not stopped, they sang more vigorously, just to sing to the thief on the opposite side.

So, even if the thieves don’t understand the first time, most of the thieves will understand the second time and third time.

It was true that they understood it and were a little stunned.

Instinctively, they had a question in their minds. The opposite side was to protect their hometown, so what about us?

At the beginning, Song Xiance was also shocked by the unheard of things from the imperial army. However, after he understood the lyrics, his face suddenly changed. He quickly turned around and shouted to Li Zicheng: "General, launch an attack quickly, and you can't let them sing again!"

If he had to continue singing this, he would be sure that it would definitely hurt his morale!

In fact, at this time, there were already thieves who were confused. Why were we fighting?

If we had said before, they could say with certainty that we were seeking survival and were forced by the government, at least it was just and had an excuse.

But now, the court is no longer the previous court. At least even a class like military households has given preferential treatment, and it has even been written into the "Da Ming Law", which will be a solid fact.

In the opposite army, there are also their examples. Not only the Xiao Yuan camp, but also those who were captured by the imperial government army before, have been recruited by the imperial government. Now they have been recruited by the imperial government. If they become part of the imperial government army, they can enjoy the newly established benefits of the imperial court. So, should they seek survival in this rebellion?

If Song Xiance couldn't think of any news on the other side that would affect the morale that would be boosted here, then he would have seen it at this time.

In fact, he can't blame him for this. In this era, no one would have thought that the court would have such a change. He even unexpectedly, there were such songs in the imperial army, and they could be sung like this when the two armies fought.

This made many of the thieves discover that the court has changed and is no longer the court I used to remember!

When Li Zicheng saw this scene, he certainly understood how much impact the mansion report on the opposite side and the songs he is singing now will have on the morale of his army. But he did not have any effective means to stop it.

He has many subordinates, so he can also give a song to overwhelm the other side? This is OK, but he doesn't have such a song at all! Even if he lets his subordinates yell together, he probably can't do it at this moment. Because the entire battlefield is full of roars of "defending his hometown and defending the Yellow River".

It was not over yet. On the top of Kaifeng City, it was obvious that the imperial officials and soldiers were singing together. Gao Mingheng, the Henan Campaign, was also suppressed by the thieves' momentum. Seeing that there was such a good opportunity, he immediately ordered the Kaifeng City to sing.

So, the advantages of "Defending the Yellow River" came out again. Because it was simple and easy to sing, the lyrics were very good, and it was fresh that I had never heard before, this song was also spread from the army to Kaifeng City these days.

"The wind is roaring, the horse is roaring..."

On the Kaifeng City, we sang together with the melody of the imperial government army.

The people in the city originally thought that the overwhelming thieves came, and they were hiding at home in panic. Suddenly, when they heard this song, some of them had heard it and could sing it; some had not, but they quickly understood it.

Suddenly, the worrying feeling disappeared. Instead, I couldn't help but sing along with it.

"Okay, okay, it's so great!" Huang Peng, the Promoter of Kaifeng Prefecture, was in a state of excitement when he heard this, and immediately found a big white flag, and stood up at Caomen, shouting loudly, "The heroes of Bianliang, I hope that those who come to visit me will establish this flag!"

In the original history, Huang Peng took this action when the re-attack of the bandits was known as one million people, which made the Kaifeng Prefecture defenders not strong enough to defend the city.

Now, although history has been flapped by butterflies' wings, some things still appear. For example, his behavior.

Hearing this movement, the young and strong men around, even the usual gangsters, were excited and shouted loudly, "The heroes of Bianliang are here!" and then hugged them.

This incident spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and ten to hundreds of people soon gathered as many as ten people.

When the news reached the city, Gao Mingheng couldn't help laughing. When he looked at the thieves all over the mountains outside the city again, he was no longer afraid. He felt heroic. He pointed at the thieves outside the city and shouted loudly in amid the huge singing voice: "The people's hearts are in me, and the thieves will be defeated!"

Li Zicheng outside the city was already furious and found that under the influence of the singing, even his military orders had problems. He red eyes and immediately ordered the trumpet to blow.

"Wuwuwu..." Many horns were blown together, finally destroying the one-sided atmosphere on the battlefield.

The leaders of Li Zicheng also rushed back to his troops and organized the attack with yelling.

Seeing the thieves all over the mountains and fields preparing to attack, Zhang Mingwei was not afraid at all at this time, so he sent another order: "All armies prepare for war!"

After this military order, the officials and soldiers of the court stopped singing, but took their place and entered a state of preparation for war with high morale.

In front of the two armies, Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi, Lan Tianbao and others also returned to their respective formations.

As a result, unfortunately, there was no situation of singing, and the traditional life-and-death battle was staged as scheduled.

The imperial government army, relying on the chariot camp, is a defensive and counterattacking method.

There are all cannons above the chariot camp. From the red cannons with the farthest range in this era, to the ordinary Franco cannons, there are all.

The artillery soldiers had already loaded up and were waiting for the military order to fire the artillery.

On the bandits' side, they were their usual fighting style. The cavalry drove their ordinary soldiers forward, while their elite infantry followed behind and began to slowly attack the official army.

Zhang Mingwei looked at all this, although he understood that these cannon fodders who were driven up to die were actually more of the people who were being held back. If possible, he certainly did not want to kill them. However, in front of the two armies, they could not tolerate the desire of women.

What you can do is to quell the thieves as soon as possible, try to end the civil war in the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, and shed less blood!

With the attack from the bandits, finally, the order for artillery was passed down.

"Boom boom boom..."

The smoke of gunpowder rose into the air, and amid the deafening sound of cannons, iron bullets roared toward the crowd opposite.

One advantage of waiting for the effort is that the battlefield here has been marked in advance by artillery soldiers, so there is no need to estimate the number of shooting angles at a high angle. The iron bullets accurately fell into the bandits' army and plowed out blood ditches.

Under the broken arms and limbs, ordinary thieves who were driven to attack were naturally frightened to avoid the bombardment of artillery. However, the cruel reality is that the elite thieves and infantry troops behind them would chop and kill the soldiers who fled back without hesitation, and continue to drive them to attack the court officials.

Although the black crowd fluctuated, the final result continued to rush to the imperial army.

The head of Kaifeng City was not attacked by bandits. Obviously, Li Zicheng knew that only by defeating the Ming army outside the city would Kaifeng be at his fingertips. At this time, it was meaningless to attack Kaifeng, which had a solid city wall.
