Chapter 581
After the celebration banquet, Tang Yin had just returned to his sleeping tent when Yin Rou walked in from outside. Read the full text. "" She came to Tang Yin and said with fear and complaint: "Yin, this time you sneaked into Huanying, why didn't you discuss it with me in advance?"
If I had discussed it with you first, would I still be able to leave? Tang Yin knew that Yin Rou cared about him, so he comforted him with a smile: "I'm afraid you'll stop me! Many things seem to be very dangerous, but I am completely sure, such as this time."
Yin Rou sighed helplessly and said seriously: "No matter what, next time such a situation happens, you must discuss it with me in advance."
Tang Yin nodded with a smile and said, "Okay!"
While the two were talking, Lingshuang walked into the tent from outside. At the celebration banquet just now, she drank a lot of wine and her face was flushed.
She was a little surprised to see Yin Rou there, but she still walked over to Tang Yin and sat down, saying, "Brother Wang, General Bai didn't seem very happy at the celebration banquet!"
Tang Yin shrugged. Compared with Feng Jun and Yu Jun, An Jun really didn't have much to show off. As the commander of An Jun, Bai Qing was naturally quite embarrassed.
He smiled lightly and said: "Although the An army's performance in encircling and annihilating the Huan army this time was not as heroic as the Feng army and the Jade army, I am already very satisfied."
Seeing Lingshuang talking to Tang Yin about military affairs as soon as he arrived, Yin Rou felt helpless and lacked interest. Just as she was about to bring the topic back, Lingshuang said again: "Brother Wang, what should we do with those prisoners of the Huan Army? I made a promise in public that I would not kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Lingshuang was very aware of Feng Jun's method of treating prisoners of war. In order to reduce the burden, most of the prisoners of war were killed.
Tang Yin knocked on his forehead. It was a headache to have more than 100,000 prisoners. He pondered for a while and said: "Leave those Huan troops who are above the rank of captain of a thousand, and dispatch the others on the spot." !”
Hearing this, Lingshuang showed joy. No matter what, she didn't want to break her promise in public. ("") She nodded repeatedly, paused for a moment, and then asked with concern: "What about people above the level of captain of thousands?"
Tang Yin's eyes flashed and he said: "That is the backbone of the Huan Army and must not be left behind."
"But I already made a promise..."
"Letting the tiger return to the mountain will eventually cause great harm. If you want to achieve great things, you can't be too hung up on small details." Tang Yin knew clearly in his heart that if all these regiment commanders and thousand captains were released, then the Huan Kingdom court could use these people to form a new army. The new legion continues to cause trouble for itself. During the war between the two countries, it is easy to recruit the troops below, but this kind of experienced middle and low-level officers are the most difficult to find. If you have the opportunity to eliminate them, you must not be lenient.
Lingshuang lowered her head with a sad look on her face and remained silent. At this time, it was Yin Rou who answered: "If a person has no faith, he will not stand. Besides, Wang Mei is the king of a country. Yin, I also think you should respect Wang Mei this time." Views."
Unexpectedly, Yin Rou would speak for Lingshuang. Not only Tang Yin was surprised, but Lingshuang also looked at her in surprise.
Tang Yin thought for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "Since Rou'er and Wang Mei have pleaded for them, they can be spared, but they must not be let go. I will send people to escort them back to Feng Kingdom tomorrow and imprison them." ”
Lingshuang breathed a sigh of relief, nodded repeatedly, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Wang." After speaking, she smiled at Yin Rou again, cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess."
Two days later, the allied forces of Feng, Yu, and An began to set off and continued to advance westward until they headed towards Daxing, the capital of Huan Kingdom. Along the way, the coalition forces were overwhelming, taking down two counties, five counties, and a total of eleven cities of Huan State.
Qian Chong's entire army was wiped out, greatly reducing Huan's strength. Only the local army resisted along the way. However, how could the local army resist the massive coalition army with its combat power? , the local army had already heard the news and fled. (《》)
It can be said that after annihilating Qian Chongyiyi, the coalition forces captured two counties in a row without any bloodshed. At this time, the coalition forces were advancing westward and were about to enter the Sanyang Plain of Huan State. In the Sanyang Plain, there are three cities, namely Anyang, Fengyang and Huaiyang.
At this time, there was already a large army on the Sanyang Plain waiting for the arrival of the coalition forces, the Sichuan-Huan Coalition Army. There were 400,000 Sichuan reinforcements led by Xue Rong and 200,000 Huan troops led by Pang Xia. Of course, this Sichuan-Huan coalition army has the Sichuan army as the main force and the Huan army as the auxiliary force.
Pang Xia was a lieutenant general of Huan State, a little-known lieutenant general. However, his father was very prestigious and was Pang Fei, the left prime minister of Huan Kingdom. Pang Xia's ability to sit in the position of lieutenant general is naturally directly related to his father. As for his abilities, not many people know about him. In other words, he was promoted to lieutenant general before he had time to show his abilities. General. However, the 200,000 Huan troops under his command were improvised, and their combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of the Sichuan army.
There was no danger to defend in the plain area, and Xue Rongya had no intention of defending. He chose to have a head-on confrontation with the coalition forces here, intending to defeat the Feng, Yu, and An coalition forces openly on the battlefield.
The main camp of the Sichuan-Huan Allied Forces is stationed in the center of Anyang, Fengyang, and Huaiyang. If the Feng, Yu, and An Allied Forces want to advance westward, they must pass through them. It can also be seen from this that they are full of confidence. Xue Rong did not give Feng Yu'an the opportunity for the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces to avoid the battle.
On the other side, spies from Tianyan and Diwang continuously transmitted information about the Sichuan-Huan coalition forces back to Tang Yin.
Looking at the intelligence reports that came one after another, Tang Yin frowned. Most of the 200,000 Huan troops were new recruits, so they were not a big concern. However, the 400,000 Sichuan troops were a big problem.
Tang Yin had fought with the Sichuan troops and had the opportunity to fight side by side. Naturally, he was very familiar with the situation of the Sichuan troops. The Sichuan troops were an army with almost no weaknesses, especially when they were engaged in head-on confrontations. The combat effectiveness was extremely strong. First, the Sichuan troops were well-trained and the soldiers were brave and good at fighting. Second, the Sichuan troops were well-equipped. The entire army was equipped with iron helmets, iron armor, and fine steel weapons. Third, and most importantly, the Sichuan generals were familiar with fighting. There was no mediocre among them. It can be said that each of them was a headache for the opponent.
Take Xue Rong for example. Although he was an arrogant old nobleman of the Sichuan State, looking at his previous record, he had fought nearly a hundred battles, both big and small, but he had never lost. He was a veritable long-victorious general.
What surprised Tang Yin even more was that there was actually the Sichuan State Blood Guard Battalion among the Sichuan troops. According to the descriptions of Letian and Ai Jia, most of the people in the Blood Guard Camp were from Shenchi, and the rest were mostly Sichuanese who had been trained in Shenchi. This was an army built by Shenchi. Although the total number of people was only 2,000, its combat power was not to be underestimated.
Now that the Sichuanese had made it clear that they wanted to fight head-on with them, Tang Yin, who had always been warlike and had never been afraid of anyone on the front battlefield, was a little unsure at this time.
It was not that he thought the Feng Army was inferior to the Sichuan Army, but that he did not have many Feng Army troops at present, only the Sanshui Army and the Tianying Army. The combat power of the Jade Army was good at best, but it was just good. It was far from being able to compete with the Sichuan Army. As for the An Army, it was completely insignificant in front of the Sichuan Army. So in Tang Yin's mind, once the war started, the only ones who could really be used were the 200,000 Feng Army.
When the whole army was ten miles away from the camp of the Chuan-Huan army, Tang Yin decisively ordered the whole army to stop advancing and set up camp on the spot.
If it was against other enemies, Tang Yin would generally choose to set up camp five miles away from the enemy. He was not afraid of the enemy's initiative to attack, but he was afraid that the enemy would not come. But against the Chuan army, he no longer had such confidence.
Tang Yin chose to set up camp ten miles away from the enemy, which was a sign of weakness, but the Chuan-Huan coalition army was not polite at all. Hearing that the enemy was ready to set up camp, Xue Rong immediately ordered the whole army to go out of the camp to meet the enemy.
Under Xue Rong's order, the camp gate of the Chuan-Huan coalition camp was opened, and 400,000 Chuan troops took the lead and rushed out of the camp in a mighty manner, heading straight for the Feng, Yu, and An coalition forces ten miles away.
The Chuan army soldiers were heavy in armor. When they advanced forward, their speed was not fast, but their momentum was also extremely amazing. The sound of their footsteps was rumbling and the friction of armor could be heard clearly from a long distance.
As the whole army marched forward in formation, the iron armor on the people seemed to form huge mirrors, reflecting the sunlight and dazzling the eyes.
The Huan army followed behind the Sichuan army, and its momentum was completely suppressed by the Sichuan army. The 200,000-strong army could not find a sense of existence, and the formation was also sparse, as if there was a small tail following the Sichuan army.
Tang Yin was about to set up camp when the Sichuan-Huan coalition attacked fiercely, which made Tang Yin gasp. He gritted his teeth secretly and shouted to the left and right: "Pass the order, all soldiers, prepare to fight!"
The generals of the three countries looked at each other and frowned at the same time.
Ziying bowed to Tang Yin and said, "Your Majesty, our army has come from afar and is exhausted, while the Chuan-Huan coalition has long been resting and waiting for the opportunity. If we fight now, our army will suffer. Let's... retreat first!"
This is exactly what Tang Yin wanted to hear, but he couldn't say it out loud. After listening to Ziying's words, he took advantage of the situation and nodded in response, "Ziying is right. Our army... will retreat ten miles for the time being."
Under Tang Yin's order, the Feng, Yu, and An coalition forces did not dare to fight, but took the initiative to retreat. The rear team became the front team and all retreated ten miles.
Seeing the enemy army retreating on their own initiative, Xue Rong, the commander of the Chuan army, couldn't help laughing and said to the generals on his left and right, "I thought King Feng was so great, but now he is afraid to fight against the main force of our army!"
After the enemy retreated, Xue Rong stopped chasing and sent the same order for the whole army to withdraw and return to the camp.
Originally, Tang Yin wanted to set up camp ten miles away from Chuan Huan's camp, but the enemy took the initiative to attack, so he had to change his plan and retreat to set up camp twenty miles away. This is extremely rare in the battle history of Feng Army.
