Chapter 586
At this point in the fierce battle, even Xue Rong, who has experienced hundreds of battles, can feel chills running down his back. Although detailed battle damage statistics have not yet been made, it can be judged just by looking at the reports one after another of the commanders of the front combat corps asking for help. , one's own casualties were huge. Read the full text. church
The sky was already dark. Even if Xue Rong was unwilling, he could no longer persist in fighting at this time. He sighed secretly. The Feng Army was indeed extraordinary. It was different from any opponent he had encountered before. There were only 200,000 people. But he managed to withstand the strong attack of his own army of 400,000 men. It was really impressive!
In the Sichuan Army's war philosophy, there is no concept of being able to forcibly attack a city three times as strong as the enemy. Because the Sichuan Army's large-scale siege weapons are too powerful, often the soldiers have not even lined up to move forward, and only use offensive weapons. The city's weapons attacked the defenders, causing heavy casualties and the defense line collapsed.
However, this time against the Feng Army, although the Sichuan Army's large siege weapons still played a vital role, they did not have a decisive effect, and even the Feng Army's momentum was not suppressed.
Xue Rong shook his head secretly. He turned around and asked He Rushui and Jin Zhuo beside him: "Can our army attack the camp overnight?"
He asked this, and even a fool could hear it. He wanted to retreat now, but he just couldn't say it himself. He Rushui and Jin Zhuo didn't think that their side should continue to fight now. When Xue Rong asked, they just followed his words and said: "General, fighting at night is not good for our army. The soldiers have been fighting fiercely all day, and they also need to rest. It’s better for our army to withdraw our troops temporarily and wait until tomorrow to fight again!”
Xue Rongda nodded, turned his head to the other side, and asked a Sichuan general with a sallow face and an expressionless face: "General Qin, what do you mean?"
This lifeless, morbid-looking Sichuan general is named Qin Hui. He looks to be in his early forties. He only has the title of Corps Commander, but his identity is not simple. He is the Corps Commander of the Blood Guard Battalion. Zephyr We have an acquaintance with Cheng Jin of the country, who was a third-level official, and even General Xue Rong was very polite to him. (《》)
The Blood Guard Battalion is considered a member of the Sichuan Army, but it is under the direct command of Sichuan King Xiao Xuan. The general Xue Rong has no control over the Blood Guard Battalion. On the contrary, because the Blood Guard Battalion is beside the Sichuan King As a person, Xue Rong had to consult Qin Hui frequently to prevent him from secretly going to the king to complain about his crimes.
Hearing Xue Rong's question, Tan Hui didn't even say a word, didn't even turn his eyes in his direction, and completely ignored him.
Xue Rong had long been accustomed to his rude attitude. He smiled calmly and said, "Since General Qin has no objection, let's withdraw our troops for the time being!" As he spoke, he said to the messenger behind him: "Ming Jin, withdraw your troops!"
Following Xue Rong's order, gongs sounded continuously in the Sichuan Army camp. When the Sichuan Army soldiers fighting in the front heard the sound of gold, they stopped their attacks one after another, formed their battle formations, and retreated in an orderly manner.
The Sichuan army retreated in an orderly manner, with a shield array at the rear and archers as cover, leaving no gaps for the enemy to pursue them. Of course, at this time, the Feng Army had no intention of chasing them. Seeing the Sichuan Army retreating, the Feng Army soldiers who were still active on the battlefield just now seemed to have been drained of all their strength. They sat on the ground one after another, motionless. , only the strength to huff and puff and breathe heavily was left.
The day's fierce fighting finally came to an end. For both the Feng Army and the Sichuan Army, this was a fierce battle that they did not want to experience again. Soon, both sides completed their respective battle damage statistics.
As the attacking side, the Sichuan Army suffered about 50,000 casualties, while the defending Feng Army suffered more than 40,000 casualties. The battle losses on both sides were evenly matched, and no one took an obvious advantage.
Next, both sides began to clean the battlefield, and Feng Jun also took this opportunity to repair the damaged walls one by one. At this time, the corpse collection team of the Sichuan Army went into battle, flying a white flag, and ran to the Feng Army camp to collect the corpses of the Sichuan Army's fallen soldiers. (《》)
Until this time, soldiers from both sides could live in peace even if they were close at hand. The soldiers of the Feng Army followed the cracks in the wall and carried out the bodies of the Sichuan soldiers who died in their camp one after another. The Sichuan soldiers outside silently took the bodies and loaded them into the car. If they saw any soldiers of the Feng Army outside the camp, They would also carry the body back to the Feng army in the camp through the breach in the village wall.
No matter how fiercely the two sides fought on the battlefield, the dead were the most numerous, and the bodies of the fallen heroes should not be exposed. The respect for the dead was tacitly understood by the soldiers on both sides.
Inside and outside the camp, there were many corpse collection teams on both sides, but the whole scene was silent. Looking at the corpses and blood on the ground, everyone was numb, and they were just mechanically moving the corpses.
Inside the military tent in Feng Camp. All the wind generals headed by Tang Yin were there, and some of them were still wearing bandages. After a fierce battle, more than 10,000 people were killed and more than 20,000 were injured. The losses were considerable. The next battle will probably become more and more difficult.
People's hearts were heavy, and the atmosphere in the tent seemed depressing. Tang Yin looked at Liang Qi and Ziying and asked, "Two of you, do you still think that our army can withstand the Sichuan army?"
Liang Qi and Ziying straightened their faces and said, "Your Majesty, our army should set up defenses in the camp now. When the Sichuan army breaks through the wall of our camp again, our officers and soldiers will have something to rely on!"
"After all, you two still think that our army should defend the camp!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, as long as our soldiers work together, we will be able to defeat the enemy's offensive." Liang Qi and Ziying said in unison.
"But you two, don't forget that it is only the Sichuan army that is attacking today, and there are still 200,000 Huan troops who have not gone into battle!" Tang Yin said quietly.
Liang Qi asked: "What about the king's opinion?"
Tang Yin said: "Abandon the camp, move out, and then use mobile warfare to deal with the Sichuan and Huan armies to hold back the enemy."
Liang Qi and Ziying nodded repeatedly and said: "Your Majesty's opinion is indeed a good idea, but it is the final strategy if our army cannot hold the camp. Now the Sichuan-Huan coalition cannot capture our camp, so our army should be able to Be a stickler.”
Tang Yin pondered for a moment and murmured: "Securing the camp is not a good idea after all. What if... our army sneaks into the enemy camp tonight?"
After a pause, he continued: "Our army suffered heavy losses in today's battle. The Sichuan Army would not have expected that our army would dare to take the initiative to steal the camp, so they must have neglected to take precautions..."
Before Tang Yin could finish speaking, Ziying's head was shaking like a rattle, and he said urgently: "If we are dealing with ordinary enemies, the secret camp tactic may still be effective, but the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan army is veteran Xue Rong, who has hundreds of experiences. He is good at war and is good at planning, and he will not fail to guard against our army's tactics of stealing camps."
Tang Yin narrowed his eyes and asked: "Does it mean that our army has no other good strategy except to defend the camp?"
Ziying smiled and said: "The best strategy for our army is to wait until the Yu and An armies capture Anyang and Fengyang. As long as the Yu and An armies successfully capture these two cities, they will directly threaten Huaiyang. It is no longer us who are anxious, but the Sichuan-Huan Army. The safety of the logistics supply route is related to the life and death of the entire army. The Sichuan-Huan Army will never sit idly by and will definitely divide its troops to rescue. It’s a good opportunity for our army to counterattack.”
Tang Yin's brows knitted into knots and he said, "Then we have to wait for several days!"
"So in the past few days, our army has to use all its strength to defend the camp. If it is really unable to hold it, it can adopt the king's strategy and take the initiative to retreat, using the speed of our army to fight a mobile battle with the Sichuan army!" Liang Qi continued .
Seeing that Liang Qi and Ziying had already made plans, Tang Yin stopped arguing, took a deep breath and said, "Okay! Let's do what you two want!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Liang Qi and Ziying both bowed their hands and saluted. Tang Yin smiled bitterly, waved his hands distractedly, and said to the generals: "If there is nothing else, everyone should go back and rest!"
All the generals retreated and left the central military tent. Tang Yin sat there without moving. It was as if he had a mirror in his mind. Although his side had barely resisted the Sichuan Army today, the Sichuan Army would never give up. It would still launch a large-scale attack tomorrow, and even the intensity of the attack would be even more fierce than today. These soldiers under his command would eventually survive. He didn't know how many people would come down.
After sitting in the Zhongjun tent for a while, Tang Yin stood up, dragged his tired body and walked towards his sleeping tent.
As soon as he entered his sleeping tent, he saw Yin Rou and Lingshuang coming over to greet her. Seeing her, the tiredness on Tang Yin's face disappeared, and he smiled and asked, "It's so late. "Why haven't you two gone to rest yet?"
Lingshuang didn't answer immediately, and Yin Rou said with a frown: "Yin, I heard that today's battle was very difficult?"
"It's hard to say it's hard, but it's true that the enemy's offensive is quite fierce." Tang Yin pretended to be relaxed in his tone to avoid worrying her, and he said it in an understatement.
Seeing that Yin Rou wanted to ask more questions, Tang Yin said with a smile: "If the enemy army is really difficult to deal with, why would I let Rou'er stay in the camp? I would have sent someone to send you out of the camp long ago."
Hearing what he said, Yin Rou felt a little relieved. She pulled Tang Yin's sleeve and said with concern: "The Sichuan army is no better than other countries' armies. You have to be more careful!"
Tang Yin smiled and patted Yin Rou's little hand, and said softly: "I know, Rou'er doesn't have to worry about me." After saying that, he looked at Ling Shuang again and said: "Sister Wang, please send the princess back to her sleeping tent to rest!"
Yin Rou didn't want to leave yet and wanted to stay with Tang Yin for a while, but Lingshuang understood the truth and said to Yin Rou: "Brother Wang has worked hard all day, and there may be fighting tomorrow, so let Brother Wang rest early! "
After hearing this, Yin Rou reluctantly followed Lingshuang out of Tang Yin's sleeping tent.
After the two of them left, Tang Yin fell on the bed, feeling that every bone and muscle in his body was not sore. He had hardly rested today and had been fighting fiercely with the Sichuan army.
Tang Yin thought of the tactic of stealing the camp at night, but was stopped by Liang Qi and Ziying. Coincidentally, Xue Rong on the opposite side also thought of this tactic and quietly used it.
