"From what you two think, the defeat of the Ninth Army was entirely due to my mistake in deploying troops in Changdu?" Tang Yin asked with a soft smile.
"You can say that!" Ye Tang and Gao Yu answered simply. Qi Heng was sweating profusely while listening, but he did not dare to stop them from speaking. He could only pray silently in his heart: "Uncles," you
You two must never talk to each other again!
Tang Yin slowly clenched his fists, but he still couldn't help but beat the table and shouted: "You two are so brave! You dare to complain to me in public, aren't you afraid that I will kill you two?"
"Your Majesty, the fault of this defeat is all the fault of the last general. If Your Majesty wants to punish him, just punish the last general!" Qi Heng suddenly raised his head and looked at Tang Yin on the carriage.
Originally, he had a very average impression of Ye Tang and Gao Yu. He felt that these two people were rigid and stubborn. They often went against him and made things difficult for him at every turn. However, at critical moments, the two of them stood up for him and argued hard.
, and then recalling that the two of them had saved his own life, Qi Heng felt bitter, bitter and warm in his heart. He also risked his life. In order to keep Ye Tang and Gao Yu alive, it didn't matter even if he lost his life.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Tang slightly shook his head at him, indicating that he did not need to take all the blame on himself. He said sternly to Tang Yin: "Your Majesty is a wise king, so naturally he will not indiscriminately kill innocent people who speak out."
"What a wise king! With just one word of wisdom, I can't do anything about my rude remarks to you?" Tang Yin's words sounded like an angry question, but his tone was much softer, and he clenched his fists and slowly loosened them.
He flicked his nails all the time.
Ye Tang and Gao Yu lowered their heads, neither of them dared to say anything more. They also had sense of propriety and knew what they could say in front of the king, what they couldn't say, and what they should say.
At this time, a spy from the Feng Army suddenly rode up to Tang Yin's carriage. He dismounted, knelt down and saluted, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, an unknown Mo army was found five miles ahead!"
"Oh?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows. Qi Heng said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, that must be the Mo army who is chasing our army!"
The Mo army turned around and chased the Ninth Army. This shows how badly the Ninth Army lost in this battle! Tang Yin felt angry and asked sideways: "Where is General Nie?"
"The general is here!" After hearing Tang Yin's call, Nie Ze hurriedly stepped forward and stepped in to salute.
"An army of hundreds of warriors is ready to fight! We must kill all the pursuers of Mo State!" Tang Yin said coldly.
"General, I obey!" Nie Ze accepted the order and turned around to leave. Ye Tang reminded him urgently: "General Nie, Mo Jun has hundreds of crossbows, so be careful!"
Nie Ze was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you, General Ye, for reminding me." In the past, the Zhen Army might have been afraid of weapons such as the Pojun Crossbow, but now, they are also the Feng Army, and they also have a large number of Pojun Crossbows, and Mo
If you use it against the military, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Following Tang Yin's instructions, Nie Ze led the Hundred Battle Army to meet the enemy first.
However, they did not encounter Mo Jun. When Mo Jun heard the news that the Ninth Army had merged with the main force of the Feng Army, they immediately gave up the pursuit and all returned to the camp, where they once again assumed a huddled and defensive posture.
They chose to retreat, but this time the Feng army refused to give in. Tang Yin commanded the army and went all the way south, and soon arrived at the Mo army camp. Looking at it, the scale of the Mo camp was quite large, even standing on
From a high point, you can't see the end of the camp. Inside, the tents are connected to the tents, and the barracks are followed by the barracks, row by row, column by column, and the number is unclear. If such a large camp was built according to the entire army's establishment,
Then the strength of this Mo army will not be less than 500,000.
After observing the camp of the Mo army, Nie Ze asserted to Tang Yin that this was the main camp of the Mo army, and the strength of the Mo army inside would never be less than our own. In a tough battle, we must be three times as strong as the enemy to win steadily. In terms of military strength,
Under certain circumstances, the attacking side cannot theoretically defeat the defending side.
What Tang Yin despised the most was the theoretical statement. Soldiers are unpredictable. Theoretical things can only be used as a reference and are by no means the fundamental basis for influencing tactics. Due to Tang Yin's repeated insistence, the Feng Army launched a strong attack on the Mo Army's camp.
In this attack of the Feng Army, the Ninth Army was completely useless. First of all, the Ninth Army was too easily restrained by the broken crossbows. In addition, the heavy cavalry could not attack in a mixed attack with the infantry. The mobility of the heavy cavalry was too poor.
It's not easy to control, and it's easy to accidentally injure your own people in battle.
After removing the ninth legion, the Feng Army's combatable troops actually only have the direct army, the Hundred War Army and half of the Feilong Army of about 50,000 people. Added together, there are less than 500,000, but they want to break through six
One can imagine how difficult it was for Mo's army, which was huddled and defending with hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
As a legion that Tang Yin had high hopes for, the Bai Zhan Army naturally took the lead and launched the attack from right in front of the Mo Army camp. The advance of 300,000 troops had the momentum of swallowing up the heaven and earth, and the atmosphere in the Mo Army camp opposite was abnormal.
nervous.
On the wall of the camp, there were already standing soldiers of the Mo army who were waiting in full formation. In addition, the Pojun crossbows had been set up condescendingly. Inside the camp, the trebuchets were all ready, waiting for the wind army to enter the range to launch a fatal attack.
attack.
The two sides were at war with each other, and a fierce battle was about to break out. As the roar of the Hundred War Army advanced became louder and louder, the distance between the two sides also became closer and closer. The first to launch the attack was the Feng Army's trebuchet.
Following the shouts and shouts, the trebuchets deployed by the Feng Army were launched in unison, and the stone bullets flew into the air one after another, and then with the roar of the wind, they quickly hit the Mo Army camp.
For a time, there were loud rumblings and landslides in the Mojun camp, and there were explosions both inside and outside. Especially the wall, which was hit by stone bullets continuously, causing sawdust to fly everywhere and trembling back and forth. Most of the soldiers above were directly knocked down.
He lay on the ground for fear of being thrown off the wall.
After withstanding the blows of the wind army's stone bullets one after another, the Bai Zhan army outside had entered the firing range of the Mo army.
The Mo generals who commanded the battle on the wall of the village frequently gave orders to reunite the scattered soldiers, and then launched a volley at the hundreds of war troops outside. At the same time, the Pojun Crossbow also showed its unique characteristics.
huge destructive power.
Mo Jun on the wall can shoot at Bai Zhanjun, and similarly, Bai Zhanjun outside can also shoot at Mo Jun. On both sides, you come and go, arrows are fired continuously, screams are everywhere, and those who are hit by arrows and fall to the ground are not counted.
Its number.
During the battle, Mo Jun's Army-breaking Crossbow could often kill two or three Feng Army soldiers with one arrow, but Feng Army's Army-Breaking Crossbow and City-Breaking Crossbow could also easily penetrate the guardrail of the village wall, directly killing the Mo Army behind.
This was an evenly matched battle full of blood and death. The attacking Feng army fell down row after row during the advance. The soldiers in the rear were stepping on the corpses of their comrades to approach the Mo army camp little by little; defending
The Mo army also died in waves. Thousands of soldiers in one formation pushed against a section of the village wall less than fifty meters. In just a blink of an eye, there were seven or eight casualties. When the soldiers behind continued to push up,
There was no time to deal with the corpses and wounded, and they had to be thrown into the battle immediately.
There were hundreds of wounded soldiers on both sides who were trampled to death by their own people alone.
The brutal battle in the front also frightened the soldiers watching the battle from behind. Tang Yin, who was sitting in the carriage, frowned secretly. Changing commanders was really like changing swords! The Mo army in front of him seemed to have been completely transformed, both in terms of combat power and fighting spirit.
It seems that compared with the previous Mo Jun, they are completely different. Xu Lengzhi, the commander of the Mo Navy, is really outstanding. I had underestimated this person before.
It seemed that it would be difficult to break through the Mo army's camp with only a hundred battle troops. Tang Yin rubbed his chin and thought for a moment. He stood up, got off the carriage neatly, and said to the generals around him: "The Feilong army is holding down the formation here.
The officers and men of the army will follow me around to the rear of the enemy camp and make a sneak attack behind the camp!"
Tang Yin's intention is very clear. The Baizhan Army has attracted the main energy of the Mo army, so the back of the camp must be a defensive weakness. If our side can sneak around the back of the enemy camp without anyone noticing and launch a surprise attack, we will surely win with one blow.
.
Wuying, the commander of the direct army, had been waiting impatiently for a long time. When she heard that the king was going to lead his own army to sneak attack on the enemy camp, she was overjoyed and stepped in and said: "General, go and prepare now!"
Seeing Wuying's excited look, Tang Yin had to pour cold water on him and said: "General Wu, you can stay here to hold down the Hundred War Army, and I will lead my brothers there!" Wuying is Wumei's sister and his sister-in-law.
, he will try his best to avoid involving Wuying in any dangerous action.
Wuying's mood immediately fell to the bottom. The direct army was going to sneak attack on the enemy camp, but her commander was left aside and could not participate. What kind of rules was this? She took a deep breath, shook her head and said: "No!
Your Majesty, the general must go!"
Tang Yin insisted: "The battle between the Bai Zhan Army and the enemy is fierce, and someone is needed here to take charge of the overall situation. You should stop arguing."
At every critical moment, the king would always leave her behind, which made Wuying really unbearable. Not knowing where she got the courage, she suddenly reached out her hand, grabbed Tang Yin's cloak, and said firmly:
"There are many generals in the army. They can all stay and take charge of the overall situation. The general must go this time!"
"You..." Wuying really wanted to be stubborn, and Tang Yin couldn't do anything to her. The latter stared at her for a moment, shook his cloak, shook Wuying's hand away, and then said in a deep voice: "If you want to go, just go!"
After hearing that the king finally agreed, Wuying's face immediately showed joy. She held her hands and said, "Thank you, the king!"
"You must listen to me when you get to the battlefield. If you don't obey my orders again, I will have someone tie you back!" Tang Yin tapped Wuying's helmet with his fingers, then got on his horse. Although his words contained a threat, but
His movements unconsciously reveal his doting affection.
Tang Yin and Wuying led their direct troops to retreat first and then circle. In order to avoid Mo Ying's observation, they made a large circle and quietly approached the back of Mo Ying's camp.
