Xiao Muqing and Ziying were both militants under Tang Yin, and they were both commanders of the same army. However, they were not the same person after all, and they had very different ideas. As far as the methods of dealing with the enemy were concerned, Ziying advocated a soft policy. , Xiao Muqing believes in iron-blooded deterrence. Each has its own reasons and advantages. It is difficult to distinguish who is right and who is wrong.
After all, Xiao Muqing was the commander-in-chief. He strongly advocated killing the tens of thousands of Ningguo's surrendered troops. Wu Guang and Jiang Fan couldn't say anything. Although Wuying felt that this was too cruel, she couldn't argue with Xiao Muqing on this matter. In the end, she remained silent and did not continue to express her position.
As the head coach, Xiao Muqing's words determined the life or death of tens of thousands of Ningjun prisoners.
The Feng Army divided the prisoners of the Ning Army who had lost the ability to resist into more than a hundred batches, and dug pits on the spot in the Armadillo Swamp to bury them alive. The swamp was full of silt, and the soil was moist and loose. It was too easy to dig a big deep pit. Poor tens of thousands of Ning soldiers, no one was spared, they were all killed in the Armadillo Swamp, and those who had already died in the battle The Ning army officers and soldiers were also buried on the spot.
Under the Armadillo Swamp, the corpses of the Ning Army were piled in piles. There were 100,000 Ning Army soldiers, and almost none of them survived.
The scale of this battle was not that large, and the total strength of the two warring parties was less than 250,000. However, the result was a big blow to the current Ning State. The current Ning State's military resources were insufficient, and most of the troops were The new recruits who had just joined the army and the deaths of 100,000 veterans and soldiers had invisibly reduced Ning Guo's overall military strength and morale.
When the news of the disastrous defeat of the Armadillo War reached the capital of Ning Kingdom, the Ning court was in an uproar. All the original optimism disappeared in an instant. At this time, Yan Chu and the ministers below realized that Feng Kingdom was sending troops. Hedong was by no means a temporary robbery, but a premeditated and well-prepared invasion.
Although Fengguo's attack on Hedong suffered some losses, overall the battle was extremely smooth. This was caused by many factors.
Firstly, it was because of the restraint of the Duji city-state, which first attracted the main force of the Ning army to the north, causing the reinforcements to Hedong to be delayed. Secondly, the Feng State's troop dispatch was too sudden, and the entire Ning State was unprepared and was beaten by the Feng State. They were caught off guard. Thirdly, and most importantly, Feng Country's current national power is weak, but its military power is too strong.
Several generals who followed Tang Yin on the expedition, Shangguan Yuanrang, Wu Guang, Jiang Fan, and Zhan Hu were all brave enough to be defeated by ten thousand men. With four of them in the army, the morale of the entire army could be improved even if they did not go to the battlefield. A lot bigger, and the abilities of Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, and Ziying cannot be measured by specific numbers. If you pick any one at random, he is a top-level commander who can stand alone and take the lead. There are many generals and fierce generals. Gathered together, no matter which vassal state is attacked by the enemy, it will be difficult for the other state to deal with it, let alone Ning State, which has just lost 400,000 elites and has not yet recovered its strength.
Now what Ning Guo is considering is no longer whether it can regain the lost land east of Hedong, but whether it can stop Feng Guo's tigers and wolves from continuing to invade the west.
As Fengcheng and Xiaoxia were successively captured by the Feng Army, the Pingyuan Army headed by Xiao Muqing and the Sanshui Army headed by Liang Qi began to advance west together, gathering towards Qingyuan, the center of Hedong.
More than three hundred thousand troops with high morale gathered in Hedong County. The other two cities in the west, Nanhai and Jianxing, immediately became in danger. Urgent documents from the lords of the two cities were continuously sent back to Ningdu Liangzhou like a revolving lantern. Just when Yan Chu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, the 500,000 Ningguo reinforcements headed by Wei Zheng and Ming Xiaotian finally arrived in Hedong.
Wei Zheng did not place the 500,000-strong Ningguo army in Nanhai or Jianxing. Instead, he stationed himself in the middle of the two cities, assuming a frontal decisive battle with the Feng army.
With such a large Ning army standing between Nanhai and Jianxing, it is impossible for the Feng army to penetrate between the two cities, let alone launch a strong attack on the two cities. Once the attack is launched, City, the flanks of the Feng Army will be attacked by half a million Ning troops.
After receiving the news, Tang Yin immediately summoned his generals to discuss strategies to deal with the enemy.
Now Tang Yin has appointed Wang Kai as the county chief. In order to show that he is not just pretending, he gave the county capital to Wang Kai and moved into a military camp with poor conditions. At this time, a sand table had already been arranged in the big tent, which clearly simulated the terrain of the Nanhai and Jianxing areas, not even a small hill was missed.
Tang Yin looked around at the generals around him, grabbed a handful of clay sculptures of white soldiers, and photographed them between Nanhai and Jianxing. He said, "Currently, Ningguo's 500,000-strong army is stationed here. Please tell me, generals, what will our army do now?" How to defeat the enemy?"
"Hmph!" Xiao Muqing smiled and said: "Looking at the posture, Ning Jun wants to have a head-on confrontation with our army, so our army will just accompany him to fight."
Ziying shook her head and said sternly: "No, even if our soldiers are good at fighting head-on, we are outnumbered and the enemy is outnumbered. Even if we can defeat the opponent, our army's losses will probably not be small!"
Liang Qi frowned and said: "How can there be no reason to kill people in a war? If we were afraid of large-scale casualties, our army should not have chosen to send troops to Hedong in the first place!"
Xiao Muqing nodded his head, and at the same time expressed his gratitude, indicating that what Liang Qi said was reasonable. He continued: "According to intelligence, although there are 500,000 soldiers in Ning State, there are not many soldiers with real fighting ability. Most of them As Ning's new soldiers, their combat power will be greatly reduced during the battle, so the Ning army of half a million is not a big concern!"
"But once our army is at war with the Ning army, what should we do if Nanhai and Jianxing cities in the north and south suddenly send troops to attack our army's two wings?" Tang Yin suddenly asked. At the same time, he picked up two white clay sculptures, Place them on both sides of your own black clay sculpture.
"This..." When asked by Tang Yin, Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi and Ziying really couldn't answer. The three of them looked at Letian and Ai Jia beside the sand table. Ai Jia said: "According to reports from my subordinates, the number of troops in Nanhai and Jianxing is only over 10,000."
Letian nodded, indicating that the situation detected by the Sky Eye was the same as that of the Earthly Network.
Xiao Muqing shrugged and said with a smile: "There are only more than 20,000 troops in the two cities. If you really dare to attack the two wings of our army, you are asking for death. When our army fights with the Ning army, we only need to send 5,000 soldiers to each of the two wings. Ambush in the dark, and once the Ningguo city soldiers come to attack, they will not be able to come back. At the same time, they can counterattack and threaten Nanhai and Jianxing cities, and disrupt the morale of the Ning army. "
"Oh..." After hearing Xiao Muqing's words, Tang Yin responded thoughtfully. After pondering for a moment, he nodded, looked at everyone, and asked, "I think Mu Qing's suggestion is feasible. What do you think?"
Our side has to compete head-on with the Ning army of 500,000 men. It is impossible to allocate too many troops to take care of the two wings. Allocating 10,000 soldiers is the limit. Liang Qi said: "The final general feels that General Xiao's strategy is feasible."
Tang Yin nodded with a smile and asked Ziying again: "General Ziying, what do you mean?"
In a head-to-head confrontation with the Ning army of 500,000, this battle is not unwinnable. Ziying just feels that such a large loss will be too great for his own side. But now seeing the king’s intention, he also agrees to confront the Ning army head-on. Ziying secretly sighed In a tone of voice, he no longer refuted, and said: "I will obey the king's order!"
"Very good!" Tang Yin said, stroking his palms: "Our army will rest in Qingyuan for one more day, and then continue to advance westward. We must annihilate this Ningguo army in one fell swoop!"
After a pause, the terrifying light in his eyes slowly swept over everyone's faces, and he said slowly and deeply in a deep tone: "If we can do this, we can seriously injure Ning Guo's vitality, and Hedong General Become my permanent territory of Dafeng. Ningguo will not be able to regain its prosperity in twenty or thirty years. Our western territory of Dafeng can also ensure peace and tranquility for twenty or thirty years. If we unfortunately lose this battle, then what we have paid for in Hedong will be lost. All efforts will be in vain. I, Dafeng, will be bullied and squeezed by Ningguo in the next twenty or thirty years. The importance of this battle is self-evident. I hope that all generals will be like me and take the spirit of dying to serve the country. Determined to fight side by side with me on the battlefield, and work together to create my great cause and meritorious deeds for all generations!"
Hearing this, everyone's blood was shaken, and their hearts were excited and moved. As a monarch, it was a rare thing for Tang Yin to go to the battlefield in person, and even he was determined to die to serve the country. How could the generals below not be inspired by this? !
At this time, everyone really felt that having a monarch like Tang Yin and assisting such a monarch was a blessing that could not be achieved in several lifetimes. Although he also had these shortcomings and shortcomings, his various shortcomings and shortcomings All his advantages pale in comparison.
People's eye circles turned red, and they all knelt down on one knee in unison, clenched their fists, and hit the chest armor with force, making a crisp sound. Everyone shouted: "The general will follow the king to the death, and his body will be shattered, his liver and brain will be wiped out. Don’t hesitate!”
All the generals knelt down, and even the guards at the entrance of the tent knelt down without emotion. Looking up, they could see people kneeling inside and outside the camp.
Tang Yin looked at everyone. The gloomy expression on his face disappeared and was replaced by his trademark rich and brilliant smile. He waved his hands to everyone and said, "Everyone, get up! The determination to fight to the death cannot be used." It’s here, but it’s for use on the battlefield.”
Seeing Tang Yin's reassuring smile again, all the generals felt that the pressure of a battle that could only be won but not defeated was the greatest. All the generals could feel the heavy burden on their shoulders. As a monarch, It is even more conceivable for Tang Yin. He is responsible for the rise and fall of the entire country. It is hard to imagine how much courage he has to exert every day during this period to bear such heavy pressure. However, he is still smiling at ordinary times. Yes, there was no trace of nervousness on his body at all.
Looking at Tang Yin's smile at this time, no one would feel relieved, only sad.
Tang Yin held the table with both hands, leaned forward, his eyes fell directly on the sand table, and murmured: "Men are born for fighting, and only in fighting can the value of a man be reflected!" As he spoke, , he raised his head and smiled at everyone: "I still said the same thing, Fengguo is very poor, and I am also very poor. I can't give you countless gold, silver and jewelry. All wealth can only rely on our own hands. Go create and plunder. You have to understand that fighting is actually a very interesting thing. In this world, there is nothing better than taking away other people's wealth, snatching other people's women, and watching others kneel on your own. There is nothing more exciting than trembling at the feet and crying!”
