The Sky Eagle Army and the New Army were ordered to go out and attack Xiaoling County again. Read the full text.

At the beginning of the battle, the two armies were in overwhelming strength and fought all the way to Daiyun City without encountering much resistance.

All the people in Daiyun City had already fled, and only the Ningguo defenders were left inside. The two sides launched a fierce battle.

The battle lasted for more than an hour. The 20,000 defenders in the city finally could no longer resist and abandoned the city and fled westward.

The Sky Eagle Army and the New Army were naturally unwilling to give up, and then pursued and killed them.

However, during the pursuit, Ziying issued an order to the general: once encountering an ambush, don't be too eager to fight. The entire army's rear team should become the front team and retreat immediately.

Guan Tang was very puzzled by his order and asked: "General Ziying, do you think the enemy is deliberately deceiving defeat and leading our army to an ambush?" After saying this, without waiting for Ziying to answer, he shook his head again. He shook his head and said: "If it is a false defeat, the camp should not be dispersed, the flags should not be chaotic, but the enemy..."

The 20,000 Ning troops who abandoned the city and fled had become a mess. When they fled, their armor, weapons, and flags were thrown all over the ground. The soldiers pushed and squeezed each other, and there were many casualties just trampling on each other. Anyone with a little combat experience can see that this is not a false defeat, but a real defeat.

Ziying smiled and said: "The enemy army is indeed defeated, but that does not mean that it is not Lin Han's trick to lure the enemy."

"How do you say this?" Guan Tang asked in confusion, and Han Zhan, who was following Ziying, also looked directly at him.

Ziying did not answer directly, but asked: "How many people are there in the Ning army in Xiaoling County?"

"Uh... According to reports, there are about 60,000 to 70,000 people."

"Yes! The whole county only has a total of 60,000 or 70,000 troops, and the Ning army in Daiyun City has 20,000 troops. With Lin Han's mind, how could he leave so many troops in an isolated city and ignore them? How about just sitting back and watching his death? If my prediction is correct, he must have a back-up plan, and setting an ambush halfway is the most likely possibility." Ziying analyzed with a smile.

"However, the two thousand Ning troops in Daiyun City certainly don't look like they are faking defeat!"

Ziying rolled his eyes and said: "As I said just now, the Ning army did not fake a defeat, but a real defeat. Lin Han's plan was probably to keep the two thousand Ning army in the dark. Its purpose It is to make Ning Jun's defeat more realistic, so as to attract our army to pursue him. From the last defeat of Xiao Ling, we can see that Lin Han is good at making choices and knows how to sacrifice a small part to gain the maximum. Victory, these two thousand Ning troops are just the victims he used to lure our army into the trap. "

"Ah! That's it!" Guan Tang suddenly understood and finally understood what Zi Ying meant. After thinking about his words carefully, Guan Tang couldn't help but raise his thumb and praised: "General Zi Ying has a clever plan and an extraordinary strategy. He is really worthy of it." He is the most intelligent general in our Feng army!”

Ziying shook her head and smiled, and said: "I don't dare to take the title of the most intelligent general!"

None of the commanders of the Pingyuan Army, the Sanshui Army, and the Chifeng Army were given for free. Xiao Muqing had a fierce style and was good at fighting tough battles. He was invincible in battles and invincible in all attacks. Liang Qi was known as a genius, with mysterious tactics and unpredictable forces. Peng Haochu Although he is inconspicuous, he is steady and very good at defense. Sitting in the homeland of Feng Country, he is like a needle in the sea.

Among the talented Fengjun, Ziying was walking on thin ice, working conscientiously and not daring to have the slightest thought.

After hearing what he said, Han Zhan couldn't help but said: "Uncle Ziying is too humble."

Ziying glanced sideways at him and said with a smile: "When Zhan'er fights with the Pingyuan Army, Sanshui Army, and Chifeng Army, you will know whether my words today are modest. Remember, this There is no best commander in the world, nor is there the most perfect battle. The best commander and the most perfect battle always exist in the next battle.”

Han Zhan seemed to understand Ziying's words, but he kept them in his heart.

The ensuing battle was almost exactly as Ziying imagined. After chasing Ning's army to a place surrounded by dense forests, whistles sounded in the forest on both sides. For a moment, arrows rained down from the woods. At the same time, , rushing out countless Ning soldiers and Ning generals.

Because they had been warned by Ziying in advance, the Tianying Army and the New Army were already prepared. When they encountered an enemy ambush, the entire army did not show the slightest panic. They immediately changed from the rear to the front and retreated back the same way.

The two sides did not fight at all, and even before they came into contact, the Feng army withdrew. However, in the process of retreat, in order to speed up and get rid of the Ning army's pursuit, Ziying issued an order to discard all the army's baggage, and was defeated lightly. escape.

With this escape, Feng Jun not only handed over the newly captured Daiyun City to Ning Jun, but also fled back to Hexi from the hinterland of Xiaoling County.

Along the way, Feng Jun abandoned countless baggage, armor, and weapons, but there were not many real casualties. This result was exactly what Ziying wanted. The baggage, grain, grass, and materials could all be replenished and plundered. But once a person dies, he can never be found again. Talent is the most precious asset in war.

Tang Yin was also very satisfied with this battle and rewarded Ziying and Guantang heavily.

On the other side, Lin Han sent the battle report of defeating Feng Jun again to Liangzhou.

In this battle, the Ning army did not kill many Feng soldiers, but they captured so much supplies and food that it took three hundred carts to load them all. The battle reports that reached Liangzhou were inevitably exaggerated, and when the battle reports reached Liangzhou, they were exaggerated by the ministers. When they were in the hands of Yan Chu, the battle reports were that Lin Han had once again severely damaged the rebuilt Sky Eagle Army, killing Tens of thousands of enemy troops were killed and injured, and countless supplies were seized.

This battle report gave the Ningguo court, which had been shrouded in gloom for days, a rare glimmer of hope. In the court, the ministers also laughed and talked.

Yan Chu read the battle report carefully three times, then sighed to the sky, showed a happy expression, and praised three times.

Yan Chu was very surprised that Lin Han could defeat the Sky Eagle Army led by Ziying again, and he could not help but look at Lin Han's use of troops with new eyes.

Seeing Yan Chu's great joy, the right prime minister Zhang Zhihong stood up again at the right time and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Lin defeated the Feng Army's invasion twice in a row, causing the Feng Army to lose countless soldiers and generals, greatly boosting our army's morale and destroying the Feng bandits. It is a blessing for our Great Ning to have such a genius guarding the border. Your Majesty should reward Lord Lin heavily."

"Yes! That makes sense." Yan Chu nodded happily, then picked up the pen and wrote a reward edict without thinking.

Lin Han was named Marquis of Tiantong and rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold. The name of Marquis of Tiantong was taken from the star Tiantong, which is a lucky star and symbolizes the elimination of disasters. Yan Chu named Lin Han as Marquis of Tiantong, implying that he could help Ningguo resolve the crisis and overcome difficulties.

It can be seen that Yan Chu is now full of confidence in Lin Han. Zhang Zhihong took the opportunity to advise him, saying: "Your Majesty, Lord Lin is guarding Xiaoling County in the east, which is as solid as a rock. The Feng army can hardly cross the line. Although there is no worry in the east, the situation in the south is precarious. The Feng-Mo coalition forces continue to attack, and our army is struggling to hold on. I hope your Majesty will think of a countermeasure as soon as possible."

When it comes to the war in the south, the joy on Yan Chu's face disappears, replaced by a deep melancholy. He asked, "Right Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Zhang Zhihong rolled his eyes and said, "I dare to advise you, Your Majesty, to lead the army in person!"

Yan Chu frowned slightly, not expecting him to make such a suggestion. Before he could speak, the ministers around him had already stood up to oppose it.

"The war in the south is chaotic, and it is too dangerous for Your Majesty to lead the army in person."

"How can Your Majesty, with your worth of millions of gold, go to the battlefield in person?"

"Although the south is in danger, it is not so dangerous that Your Majesty can lead the army in person..."

The ministers said all kinds of things, but they all meant the same thing, that they did not agree with Zhang Zhihong's proposal.

Yan Chu himself was not very willing to go to the war in person. He did not think that his personal visit to the south would change the war situation in the south. After all, he was not a military genius and had no experience in commanding troops in battle. It would be the same whether he went or not.

However, Changsun Yuanhong was moved and felt that what Zhang Zhihong said was not without reason. Although the king could not command troops, he was the king after all. The king's personal visit to the south was equivalent to a swearing to advance and retreat with the southern soldiers, and live and die together. In this way, the morale of his own army would be greatly boosted. As long as the fighting spirit was raised, the disadvantage on the battlefield would be saved a lot.

Just as everyone was talking and accusing Zhang Zhihong of letting the king personally take risks, Changsun Yuanhong intervened and said: "King, I think what the right prime minister said is reasonable. As long as the king can personally visit the southern battlefield, the morale of our army can be revived..."

Before Changsun Yuanhong finished speaking, Yan Chu's face had already sunk. Everyone opposed his personal expedition, so why did Changsun Yuanhong agree? What did he mean? Why was he so eager to separate himself from the capital?

He stared at Changsun Yuanhong's mouth, which opened and closed, and didn't listen to his words at all. The hand on his knees slowly clenched into a fist again.

Snap!

Changsun Yuanhong was talking excitedly, but Yan Chu slammed the table, leaned forward, and angrily said: "Stop talking! This king will not go anywhere, he will only stay in the capital. This king is the king of a country, so he must naturally focus on the overall situation. If he leaves the capital, who will preside over the government? Who will handle state affairs? Wouldn't the whole country be in chaos?"

What he said is not wrong, but extraordinary times require extraordinary handling. Even if he leaves the capital, he can handle state affairs in the south. Changsun Yuanhong disagreed with Yan Chu's statement. Instead, he felt that Yan Chu was afraid of death and dared not go to the battlefield in person. In troubled times, how could a coward like a mouse be qualified to be the king of a country?

He wanted to speak, but the ministers around him had already stood up to stop him. It can be seen that the king was angry. If he went against him at this time, what kind of disaster would he cause!

Zhang Zhihong, the ‘culprit’, secretly thought that the opportunity had come. He said solemnly: “The war in the south is not serious enough for the king to go to the battle personally. If the king sends General Yuanhong, with his might and strategy, he will surely be able to turn the tide and protect the south!”

When Yan Chu heard the proposal to dispatch Changsun Yuanhong to the south again, he didn’t even think about it, nor did he ask Changsun Yuanhong’s opinion. He said directly: “Approved! According to the right prime minister’s order, General Changsun Yuanhong will set off today to Jiashang County and lead our Ning army soldiers to fight to the death with the two Fengmo thieves!”
