Chapter 571
As the leading general of the Ning Army's front army was shot and killed, the Ning soldiers in the front army could no longer withstand the fierce attack of the Pingyuan Army. Download Escape TXT.
The defeat of the front army was so fast, even beyond Wei Zheng's expectation. In his opinion, even if his front army was not a match for the Feng Army, it could at least withstand it for a while. Unexpectedly, the battle did not even last an hour. The army was completely blown away by Feng Jun. Wei Zheng was surprised and nodded secretly. Feng Jun deserved to be called the Tiger and Wolf Division, he was really powerful.
At this time, the expressions of all the Ning generals around Wei Zheng had changed. Seeing the defeat of the front army, and the overwhelming numbers of Feng Kingdom pursuers behind them, people all felt that a disaster was coming, and their hearts shrank into a ball.
However, Wei Zheng was calm in the face of danger, with a calm face. He looked at the generals on the left and right, and said slowly and relaxedly: "Generals, don't worry. I just said before the two armies, our army will definitely fight in this battle." Victory!" As he spoke, he waved the command flag in his hand and asked the left and right armies of the Ning army to close up in the center and attack the Pingyuan army that was chasing the front army.
On the battlefield, changes in the commander's order and flag are military orders. Seeing the signal sent by Wei Zheng, the generals of the left and right armies immediately sent orders for the entire army to attack and surround the Pingyuan Army from both sides.
Ning Jun had a good idea, but before the left and right armies could encircle Pingyuan Army, they were blocked by Sanshui Army and Tianying Army on both sides of Feng Army.
The wings of Feng and Ning's two armies came into contact, which meant that the battle was in full swing. The killing of hundreds of thousands of people was a spectacular and tragic scene. The soldiers in the front fell one row after another, and the soldiers behind stepped on the corpses of their companions and continued to advance. At this time, the life of any individual seemed insignificant. Victory The key to losing depends on the overall strength of both parties.
As far as the archery formation is concerned in a long-distance battle, the Ning army is not inferior to the Feng army and can still have the upper hand. But when the two sides come into contact, the level of strength will be obvious immediately. On the battlefield, although the two sides fought fiercely, they still have the upper hand. The Feng Army's overall camp was moving forward, while the Ning Army was gradually retreating. The corpses on the ground were obviously more steel helmets than leather armors.
Tang Yin, who was sitting in the central army, looked at the battlefield ahead and raised his lips. Originally, he planned to put his own direct army on the battlefield, but now it seems that there is no need for that. He can completely wait for Ning Jun's central army. After the main force entered the battle, our own side rushed over and defeated Ning's army in one fell swoop.
Ning Jun is still the same as before. He is like a tiger when fighting at a distance and like a rat when fighting at close range. Wei Zheng's heroic words just now were just a bluff and a bluff! Thinking of this, Tang Yin smiled, leaned back slightly, raised his head and said to the left and right: "Now the victory has been decided, I'm afraid it won't be long before the enemy's central army will join the battle. All generals, please prepare first, wait. Will fight with me and defeat the main force of the Ning Army!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Everyone excitedly raised their hands in response. Everyone around Tang Yin is a battle-hardened and experienced general. Looking at the situation on the battlefield, everyone knows that our side's advantage is too great now. Even if Ning's Chinese army has not yet been sent to the battlefield, even if it comes, It is also a mantis acting like a chariot, and it is difficult to compete with its own army.
A general of the direct army said excitedly to Tang Yin: "Your Majesty, if our army can defeat the 500,000 Ning army on the opposite side this time, Ning Guo will have no more troops to send, and not only Hedong will become the king's bag. As long as the king is willing, he can continue to move westward and take the opportunity to seize the land and cities of Ningguo! "
"Yes!" Tang Yin liked hearing this, he nodded his head and smiled leisurely.
Just when Tang Yin thought he was in control of the victory, Lotte hurried over from behind. His speed was so fast that he almost hit Tang Yin in front of his horse. His sudden arrival startled the surrounding generals and guards. People subconsciously raised their hands and put them on the swords under their ribs. Just as they were about to draw their swords, they saw clearly that the person coming was Lotte. He breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his raised hand.
Tang Yin remained calm, looking down at Lotte who was standing in front of the horse with an extremely ugly face. He had an ominous premonition in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face and asked calmly: "Lotian, what happened? , making you come here in such a hurry?"
Letian looked left and right, then approached Tang Yin's side and said urgently: "The two generals Ye Quan and Gao Yi sent by the king to set up ambushes on both sides of our army have both been killed. In addition, there are more than 100 generals on the north and south sides of our army. Ning’s 50,000 troops are coming quickly and are now less than five miles away from our army!”
"What?" Hearing this, not to mention Tang Yin was stunned, even the generals such as Gu Yue and Wuying beside him were at a loss and couldn't figure out what was going on. Fifty thousand Ning soldiers were killed on each side of the north and south. Where did these 100,000 enemy troops come from? Tang Yin was stunned for a moment and asked quietly: "How did Ye Quan and Gao Yi die? Where did the one hundred thousand enemy troops come from!"
Letian took a deep breath and said seriously: "One hundred thousand Ning troops came from Nanhai and Jianxing respectively..."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Yin waved his hand and interrupted: "Letian, according to your and Ai Jia's intelligence, didn't it say that the Ning army in Nanhai and Jianxing only has more than 20,000 people?"
Letian's brows were twisted into knots, and he said bitterly: "My king, Wei Zheng is cunning. He had disguised 100,000 Ning troops as Ningguo civilians in advance, mixed in with the people taking refuge in the surrounding villages and towns, and quietly entered the two cities of Nanhai and Jianxing. My brothers did not find it. Just now, Nanhai and Jianxing suddenly rushed out with 100,000 Ning troops, all coming here. Generals Ye Quan and Gao Yi fought against the majority with a small number of troops, but they still failed to stop the Ning troops, and most of the brothers below were killed...My king, with the speed of the Ning troops, they are now at most five miles away from the battlefield. My king should have made a decision long ago!"
The news brought by Letian is undoubtedly a warning to the Xing Tang Yin was hit hard on the head. Now he finally figured it out. No wonder Wei Zheng was so confident that he could defeat his army. It turned out that he had already deployed heavy troops in Nanhai and Jianxing. With these 100,000 troops as surprise troops, he attacked his army from both wings. No wonder the Ning army seemed to have only 400,000 troops on the battlefield of the decisive battle. It turned out that the other 100,000 troops had been transferred by Wei Zheng first. However, it was too late for Tang Yin to figure it out now. This was the most critical moment for the Feng army to fight with the Ning army. Once the two wings were attacked by the enemy, the situation of the Feng army would take a sharp turn for the worse. Not only would the advantage be gone, but the whole army would probably end up in a disastrous defeat.
Now Tang Yin had only two choices, either to fight or to retreat. However, he was unwilling to withdraw his troops under such a great advantage. But if he stayed and continued to fight, what would happen if the 100,000 Ning army arrived? At that time, his side would be attacked from three sides, and the situation would be even more bleak.
Tang Yin sat on the horse, expressionless and silent for a long time, but people close to him could clearly hear the creaking sound, which was the sound of Tang Yin's palm grasping the reins.
"My king?" Seeing that Tang Yin did not express his opinion, Le Tian was anxious. At this time, the situation was extremely critical. The 100,000 Ning troops could come at any time, and they could not delay any longer.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, the reins of the warhorse were actually broken by Tang Yin, and the latter's eyes almost spit fire.
This kind of Tang Yin was something Wu Ying had never seen before. She was startled at first, and then quickly stretched out her hand and pressed it on the back of Tang Yin's hand. Her bright eyes also looked at Tang Yin with concern, as if she wanted to persuade him, but the corners of her mouth moved, and she still didn't speak after all.
War is not a child's play, and victory or defeat depends on a thought. At this time, persuasion is useless, and Tang Yin can only make the decision himself.
Tang Yin took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. He first patted Wu Ying's hand, then pulled it away. At the same time, he was trying hard to control himself to calm down and weigh the pros and cons.
Soon, Tang Yin's reason told him that he could no longer continue this battle and had to retreat immediately, otherwise there would be a danger of annihilation.
Gulu! He swallowed his saliva and slowly opened his eyes. Seeing that Le Tian, Gu Yue, Wu Ying and the generals around him were all looking at him eagerly, Tang Yin, who was already extremely angry, suddenly laughed, shook his head and cursed in a low voice: "Fuck, Wei Zheng is so cunning!" While muttering to himself, he turned his horse's head, waved his hand and said four words lightly: "Sound the gong, withdraw the troops!"
To say these four simple words, Tang Yin used courage and determination that ordinary people could hardly imagine.
It was painful for him to make the decision to retreat, but the sound of the gong at this time made the Fengjun soldiers who were fighting bloody in the front even more painful. They were clearly in a great advantage, and people couldn't understand why they suddenly withdrew at this critical moment. Wasn't this deliberately giving the fruits of victory back to the Ning people?
However, military orders were like mountains, not to mention the military orders of the monarch Tang Yin. No matter how angry and unwilling the Fengjun soldiers were, they dared not disobey Tang Yin's orders.
In the continuous sound of the gong, the Fengjun soldiers who were in high spirits immediately lost their spirits. The soldiers behind did not advance forward, but stood still, and the soldiers in front began to retreat together, until they retreated behind the soldiers in the back and stabilized the camp, covering the retreat of their comrades in front.
Hearing the gong sound from the rear of the Fengjun, Wei Zheng's spirit was shocked. He knew that the two special troops he arranged must have arrived, otherwise the Fengjun would not have chosen to withdraw suddenly when they were in a great advantage. Wei Zheng was in high spirits, drew his sword, and shouted to the Ning generals on his left and right: "Our reinforcements have arrived. The Feng army knows they can't win, so they are retreating. Everyone, follow me and rush out to kill the Feng bandits! Kill--"
"Kill--"
Hearing that reinforcements had arrived and the Feng army was indeed retreating, the Ning generals seemed to have been injected with stimulants. They all perked up, picked up their weapons, and at Wei Zheng's signal, they shouted and rushed out. With the Ning generals' initiative, the more than 100,000 central troops began to advance at full speed to chase the retreating Feng army.
