In the frontal decisive battle between the Feng and Mo armies, not only were the Mo cavalry beaten by Feng's heavy cavalry, but even the three commanders of the Mo army, Wu Mian, Gaozong, and He Cong, lacked confidence and lost the fighting spirit to continue fighting.
.
The three of them came together to make a plan, and they all believed that their side was bound to lose in this battle. Instead of annihilating the entire army, it was better to conserve their strength and temporarily withdraw from Zeping County, and then regroup in the future to compete with the Feng Army.
They reached a consensus and each ordered their armies to continue to retreat southward, but this time their retreat already had a target, which was Haowan County.
The battlefield in front was still fighting, but the three commanders gave the order to retreat from behind. As a result, Mo Cavalry was defeated faster.
Fortunately, the Mo cavalry's mobility is unparalleled in the world. They can't defeat the heavy cavalry, but they can definitely outrun them.
The Mo cavalrymen who were struggling to support themselves on the battlefield were relieved when they heard the sound of gold roaring from behind, and fled. They could easily get rid of the pursuit of the Ninth Army, but the Mo cavalry infantry could not do this.
Seeing Mo's cavalry defeated and fleeing, the commander of the Ninth Army, Qi Heng, became more confident and led his men to pursue the enemy regardless.
The Mo cavalry ran faster than a rabbit, like a whirlwind, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Qi Heng poured out his anger on the Mo infantry.
He took the lead and rushed into the Mo country infantry camp. He swung the Nine-turn Soul-Severing Knife, slashing and slashing everyone he encountered. There were almost no intact corpses within three meters around him.
Qi Heng was brave, and the heavy cavalry under his command were also unambiguous. People rushed their horses into the crowd of Mo Jun without using their spears to stab them. They just walked past, killing, wounding, and trampling Mo Jun to death.
Already countless.
Poor Mo's infantry camp was torn to pieces by the Ninth Army's surprise attack. It had no formation at all, and even lost the power to resist. Now people just want to escape from this nightmare battlefield as soon as possible.
The Ninth Army in the front was able to defeat the more than 600,000-strong Mo army. When Tang Yin in the rear saw this, he was overjoyed. He jumped off the carriage and ran to the horse beside the carriage.
He grabbed a big flag of the Feng Kingdom with his free hand, and while urging his horse forward, he shouted: "All the soldiers in the army, charge to the enemy's formation!"
Wow, following Tang Yin's order, Feng Kingdom's four armies, namely the Pingyuan Army, the Directly Affiliated Army, the Feilong Army, and the Hundred War Army, moved forward in unison. The current situation was one of beating a drowned dog with a stick, and no one wanted to miss this opportunity to perform meritorious service.
The soldiers below flung out their legs and rushed forward like crazy. Many of them even threw off their armor in order to lighten the burden on their bodies and enable them to run faster.
The crazy scene of the Feng Army chasing the enemy can be described as "throwing off the armor". They ran one way and threw away the armor. Those who know the inside story know that they are chasing the enemy. If they don't know the inside story, they may think that the Feng Army is defeated.
They are running for their lives!
The craziness of Feng Jun is comparable to that of Zhen Ren. Seeing the appearance of Feng Ren around them, the soldiers of Bai Zhan Army also grinned with joy. Zhen Ren has always been competitive and never lags behind others. At this time, he is even more enthusiastic
With a competitive mentality, they rushed to the front, followed closely behind the Ninth Army, and also rushed into the Mo army camp.
The Ninth Army had already broken up the entire formation of the Mo army, and now the wolf-like Bai Zhan Army came in again. The Mo army's defeat was like an avalanche, and no one was able to recover.
In this great defeat, the Mo army suffered an extremely miserable defeat. Within a radius of a hundred miles, the bodies and wounded soldiers of the Mo army could be seen. The army of more than 600,000 could be said to have collapsed thousands of miles away. When they were routed to Zeping County and Hao
At the junction of Wan County, only
Three hundred thousand people, and more than three hundred thousand others, were either killed in battle, captured, or dispersed. The entire army had no fighting spirit, just like a pile of loose sand. In this one battle, the main force of the Mo army was greatly damaged, and there was no more strength.
The strength to fight head-on with the Feng Army.
The most critical point in the Mo army's defeat was that Yuan Cheng's troops were defeated. If Yuan Cheng's troops could hold on to the camp and prevent the main forces of Bai Zhan Army and Feng Army from joining together, then the Battle of Changdu would be
What the ending will be like is not yet certain.
In the final analysis, the disastrous defeat of Yuan Cheng's troops was at the hands of the Bai Zhan Army. If the Mo army could annihilate the Bai Zhan Army during the more than ten days of siege, it would be equivalent to changing the situation of the Feng Mo army.
It is a pity that Mo Jun did not seize this God-given opportunity. Instead, he listened to Shen Yuan's idea and tried to trap Bai Zhan Army to death in a trap, which resulted in today's bitter consequences.
For the Mo army, there were many mistakes in this decisive battle, while for the Feng army, the victory of Zeping County was mainly attributed to the Bai Zhan Army.
Perhaps the Ninth Army killed more enemies on the battlefield, but without the Bai Zhan Army to contain the main force of the Mo Army in Changdu, the Feng Army would not even be able to cross the Panling Mountains, let alone a great victory in the Changdu Battle.
The Baizhan Army can play such a great role, all thanks to themselves. The characteristic of the Zhen Army is that it is extremely independent. It has no concept of coordinated operations, let alone the support of logistical supplies. It grabs wherever it hits.
, they can be completely self-sufficient wherever they eat. Because of this, Zhen people are not good at fighting at home, and are better at fighting in other countries.
In combat, especially when they are in trouble, thousands or even hundreds of Zhenjun troops dare to huddle together, go deep into the enemy's hinterland, and deal with the enemy. This is the terrifying thing about Zhenjun. Although the Hundred War Army has a reputation
It hangs the banner of Fengjun. In fact, it is a Zhenjun from top to bottom, and it also inherits various traditions of Zhenjun.
After the main force of the Mo army escaped from Zeping County, the victorious Feng Army was stationed in Changdu. When discussing merit and rewards, Tang Yin greatly praised the performance of the Bai Zhan Army and the Ninth Army, especially the Bai Zhan Army.
, when the whole army was deprived of food and supplies, it was actually able to hold on in Changdu for more than ten days and still retain strong combat power. This is incredible.
At this time, even Tang Yin didn't know how the Bai Zhan Army did this, but according to his speculation, it was probably the food and grass stored in Changdu City and the large amount of baggage that created the conditions for the Bai Zhan Army to hold on for a long time.
In order to commend the Hundred War Army and the Ninth Army, Tang Yin conferred first-class earldoms on Nie Ze and Qi Heng respectively, and increased their salaries by 30% each. In addition, all officers and soldiers in the army also received rewards.
Tang Yin has never been soft-hearted about rewarding meritorious soldiers in the army. Even if the treasury is a little empty, he still has to feed the soldiers well. Only in this way can the soldiers work harder and fight harder in future battles.
Just after the reward was finished, the four deputy commanders of the Hundred Wars Army, Chen Xiu, Tao Yuanfeng, Zhang Cheng, and Guan Dai, came to Tang Yin and asked Tang Yin to take back his orders and deprive Nie Ze of his earldom. It would be best if he could be made the commander-in-chief of the Hundred Wars Army.
The positions were also eliminated.
After hearing what the four of them said, Tang Yin was quite surprised. Considering Nie Ze's contribution in this battle and the brave performance of the soldiers of the Hundred Wars Army, even if he was given the earldom of Nie Ze, he felt it was a bit low. Why did Chen Xiu and others
Do you want him to strip Nie Ze of his title and military position?
He frowned secretly and did not speak immediately. He turned to look at his personal maid Ji Lianyan and said, "Lianyan, pour some tea."
Ji Lianyan responded cautiously. While she helped Tang Yin pour tea, she quietly asked the maid below to serve tea to Chen Xiu and others.
Soon, the maids brought the tea one by one. Before they could put down the tea, Tang Yin had already waved his hand and said: "The four generals are very angry now. Tea is not suitable for you. You can go down first!"
After hearing this, Chen Xiu and the other four looked at each other and slowly lowered their heads. From the king's tone, it seemed that he was very dissatisfied with himself for informing Nie Ze!
Tang Yin picked up the tea, blew the foam on it, took a slow sip, then cleared his throat and said: "Although Nie Ze is a Zhenren, he has now taken refuge in Dafeng. So, he is my Fengren, and he will serve as your
The immediate boss who was waiting is now
After receiving the reward, you should be happy. Why did you come to me quietly to accuse him? But are you jealous? The internal unity is directly related to the strength or weakness of a legion. Do you think this is the case?
don't know?"
Chen Xiu, Tao Yuanfeng, Zhang Cheng, and Guan Dai all had cold sweat on their foreheads. They stood up in unison, bowed to the ground in front of Tang Yin, and said in succession: "Your Majesty, we are by no means jealous of Nie Ze.
But what he did is really not worthy of being the commander of an army, let alone the title of earl!"
"Oh?" Tang Yin narrowed his eyes, and his heart trembled at the same time.
Actual combat has proven that the Bai Zhan Army is very useful and can be entrusted with important tasks like the Pingyuan Army. What he is most worried about is the issue of loyalty. If Nie Ze makes a mistake in this regard, it will be very difficult for himself.
.
He took a deep breath, raised his head and said, "Tell me in detail."
"Your Majesty, does your Majesty know how the Hundred War Army managed to hold on in Changdu for more than ten days without food?" Chen Xiu asked in a low voice.
Tang Yin slowly shook his head and waited for him to continue. Chen Xiu said in a trembling voice: "That was achieved by cooking the people in the city."
Seeing that Tang Yin had a puzzled look on his face, Chen Xiu immediately reported to Tang Yin everything about how the entire army had cooked the people of Changdu and lived by eating human flesh. Finally, he said with emotion: "Your Majesty,
So unethical
His deeds that hurt the heavens will surely be punished by heaven in the future. Letting a man like Nie Ze be the commander of our Feng army and hold the title of earldom of our Feng country is really a great shame and humiliation for our Feng country. In the future, I am afraid that our country will also be affected by it.
, suffered the wrath of heaven and the resentment of people.”
He originally thought that after hearing his explanation, the king would be as angry as him, but the more he spoke, the more cheerful Tang Yin's expression became, and the corners of his mouth also curved slightly.
After he finished speaking, Tang Yin asked with a smile: "Is this why you came to complain to me?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chen Xiu, Tao Yuanfeng, Zhang Cheng, and Guan Dai all nodded.
"Haha!" Tang Yin couldn't help it, he threw his head up and laughed, and murmured while laughing: "It's a shame Nie Ze can think of it!" As long as Nie Ze didn't show disloyalty to Feng Guo, then no matter what he did, he
What to do to Tang Yin
Generally speaking, big things can be reduced to trivial matters. What's more, considering the situation at that time, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Nie Ze's approach. On the contrary, he admired Nie Ze's decisiveness and the soldiers of the Hundred Wars Army.
