In the fierce battle between Tang Yin and Xiang Wen, both of them used 120% of their strength. They fought to exhaustion and both sides suffered losses. On the other hand, looking at the entire battlefield, the two sides were also fighting fiercely.
The Mozambican army has a large number of troops, but the Feng army is powerful in combat, and there are countless brave and skilled generals among them. These have smoothed the gap in military strength between the two sides to the greatest extent.
When the two sides were fighting against each other, and the generals were equally matched, and it was difficult to distinguish the superior, a large number of Mo troops suddenly poured out of the Mo army camp.
At first, the Feng army didn't pay much attention, but the number of Mo troops coming in increased. In the end, it was almost a blowout. On the battlefield, wherever you looked, there were countless numbers.
The soldiers of the Mo army.
No matter how strong the Feng Army's combat power is, it is impossible to defeat an enemy several times their own, not to mention that the Mo Army's combat power is not weak. With the rapid increase in the number of the Mo Army, the direct army is gradually losing ground.
The soldiers in front of Mo Ying began to retreat step by step.
Tang Yin, who was fighting Xiang Wen, also saw that his own situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable. If he continued to fight, he might be in danger of annihilation of the entire army. He decisively gave up the fight with Xiang Wen, retreated, and flashed back with shadow drift.
Go to your own camp.
After Tang Yin retreated, he was almost exhausted. He was supported by the soldiers below, and he withdrew together with the large group of troops directly under the army. Seeing Tang Yin retreat, Xiang Wen originally wanted to pursue him, but unfortunately he now
There is also a lot of ambition but not enough strength.
Tang Yin was exhausted from the fierce battle just now, and so was Xiang Wen. Even if he could stand up, his legs were trembling. If he took a step forward, he felt like he might fall down at any time.
Now he can finally understand why Lian Ge was so seriously injured by Tang Yin in the first place. Tang Yin's cultivation level is not terrible, nor is the dark spirit martial arts that scary, but his endless moves are too troublesome to deal with him.
In a battle, even if you are very energetic, you may still suffer a loss in his hands. Such an opponent is indeed difficult to deal with. It is also surprising and puzzling. As a monarch, how did he develop such a powerful spirit?
Wu.
After the direct troops withdrew, the Mo army who came out of Mo camp did not pursue it, nor did they retreat into the camp. Instead, they headed south. The reason why so many Mo army emerged from Mo camp was not because there were still some troops left.
Behind the scenes, these Mo soldiers all escaped from the front camp.
The Mo army was divided into two waves, one to defend the front camp and one to ambush the rear camp. Xu Lengzhi's formation was very sophisticated and there was no problem, but he underestimated the strength of the Feng army.
He originally thought that an army of 400,000 people could withstand the Feng Army's frontal attack, and that an army of 200,000 people could easily cope with the Feng Army's sneak attack behind his own camp. But in fact, that was not the case at all.
There is no way to defeat the Feng Army in the rear camp. Even if a fierce general like Xiang Wen presses the formation, they can still only be on par with the Feng Army.
The army arranged in the rear camp was unable to achieve a quick victory, which directly resulted in the inability to reinforce the front camp in time, so that the 400,000 troops in the front camp resisted the fierce offensive of less than a hundred soldiers.
After Xu Lengzhi understood the overall situation, he decisively made the decision to abandon the camp and withdraw his troops. He would not entangle with the Feng army here and wait until the deployment was made in the future to compete again.
He personally led the soldiers in the front camp to retreat back, all the way out of the camp, and took advantage of the situation to help the soldiers in the back camp drive away the direct troops. Then the entire army continued to retreat south without stopping, leaving the huge camp to the Feng army.
Xu Lengzhi knew that a camp was nothing. As long as his troops were still there, no matter how far he retreated, there was still hope of counterattack.
In this battle, it seemed that the Feng Army had won, and finally drove away the Mo Army and captured the Mo Army camp. However, in fact, the Mo Army lost not many troops. Relatively speaking, if the Feng Army counts the previous casualties,
The heavy cavalry lost more troops than the Mo army.
Therefore, this battle can only be regarded as a tactical shift by Mo's army, not a defeat.
After the Mo army withdrew, the Feng army took advantage of the situation and occupied the entire Mo camp. The soldiers then began to clean the battlefield. Inside and outside the camp, the atmosphere of the Feng army did not have the joy of victory, but was a bit depressed. After all, the battle was not won beautifully. Mo
The main force of the army also suffered no damage.
The only good thing is that the broken crossbows that were previously taken away by the Mo army have now been snatched back, although most of them were destroyed when the Mo army withdrew.
After the generals finished counting the battle losses, they all came to the Chinese military tent and reported to Tang Yin. At this time, Tang Yin was sitting in the center of the Chinese military tent, with two medical officers on his left and right helping him bandage his wounds. They were talking to Xiang Wen.
After a fierce battle, Tang Yin was "scarred", with a cut on his forehead, and bruises on his body, arms, and thighs. It was not serious, but it was really painful. The medical officer applied medicine and bandaged him
At that time, he didn't scream in pain, but he frowned and grinned from time to time.
When the generals came in, they saw Tang Yin's appearance. Everyone was shocked, and they gathered around and asked with concern: "Is the king's injury serious?"
"You can't die." Tang Yin replied first without waiting for the medical officers around him to reply. Wuying on the side explained: "When the king sneak attacked the enemy camp, he fought a big battle with Xiang Wen. Among the Mo army, I am afraid that only
Xiang Wen can hurt the king."
That’s it! If the opponent is Xiang Wen, then it’s understandable. In Mo Country, Lian Ge and Xiang Wen are the top generals.
Qi Heng shook his head and sighed, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that the general could not sneak attack the enemy camp with the king, otherwise, Xiang Wen's head would have been taken off his neck!"
After hearing his words, Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, while the generals on the left and right rolled their eyes.
This Qi Heng really can't speak. Let's not talk about whether you can win Xiang Wen. Just based on your words, it seems that the king is inferior to you. Don't you know that the king has always been martial and never obeyed others in terms of force?
Seeing the weird expressions of everyone around him, Qi Heng didn't know what he said wrong. He looked around at the generals blankly and asked: "What's wrong? Generals, don't you believe that I can take off Xiang Wen's head? You don't believe it either.
It doesn't matter, there will be a chance to meet in the future, and then I want you to see if I, Qi Heng, am telling lies today!"
"Ahem!" Nie Ze coughed lightly, interrupted Qi Heng's words, then gently placed the battle damage statistics of the Hundred Wars Army on the table in front of Tang Yin, and said: "Your Majesty, the Hundred Wars Army suffered casualties in this battle.
There are more than 30,000 soldiers, and the armor is even more damaged."
After listening carefully to Nie Ze's report, Tang Yin turned to look at Wuying. Wuying hurriedly put her statistics of battle losses on the table.
Tang Yin took a rough look at it, then sighed quietly and said with a wry smile: "It seems that we all underestimated Mo Jun's new commander-in-chief. What is his name?"
"Xu Lengzhi!" Nie Ze replied in a low voice.
"Yes! Xu Lengzhi!" Tang Yin repeated and said: "Although this man was originally the commander of the navy, he is very good at using troops and is our strong enemy!"
The generals looked at each other in shock, but no one spoke. Nie Ze rolled his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that General Zuo was blocked when he attacked Huaqiao, the capital of Tianyang County, and it is difficult to win in a short time. In my humble opinion, it is better to
General Zuo will be transferred back, and we will concentrate our forces to capture one of Xu Leng's troops!"
After thinking about Nie Ze's suggestion, Tang Yin felt that it made sense and nodded in agreement: "Okay, just do what General Nie wants!"
As he spoke, he turned his head and said to Letian and Ai Jia: "Immediately send an order to Zuo Shuang and ask him to lead his army back to Haowan County and join our army."
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Lotte and Ai Jia both said with their hands raised.
Tang Yin lowered his head and looked at the table, and then said to Ah San and Ah Si: "Bring the map of Haowan County."
Soon, Asan and Asi laid out the map of Haowan County in front of Tang Yin. The latter waved and pushed away the two medical officers who were bandaging him, and then leaned forward to check the map. He first drew his current situation.
position, and then slowly moves downward.
After checking for a moment, he murmured: "This place is not far from the county seat of Pufeng. After Xu Lengzhi retreats, he must also retreat to Bufeng and rely on the county city's city defense to fight our army decisively."
Nie Ze agreed with Tang Yin's analysis and said: "Haowan County is a major grain-producing county in the Mo country, and its grain and grass reserves must be sufficient. In addition, Pufeng is a county town with strong and complete city defenses. The possibility of the Mo army retreating to Pufeng is
Very big."
Tang Yin nodded and asked, "Is there any way to destroy the city?"
Nie Ze rolled his eyes again and said: "Since it is a tough battle, we must attack the heart first and attack the city as a supplement. As long as our army can greatly destroy the enemy's morale, this battle will become very easy.
.”
Tang Yin rubbed his chin, thought for a while, and asked, "How can we destroy the enemy's morale?"
Nie Ze said: "As the defender of the city, the most important thing is not whether the city defense is strong or complete, but how much food and grass is stored. This is also directly related to the life and death of the defenders. If our army can have a small army
The elite of the army sneak into the city, seize the opportunity, and burn down the Mo army's granary. Then, the Mo army in the city will become a turtle in a urn and a fish on the ground!"
Tang Yin's eyes flashed as he carefully considered Nie Ze's words. Qi Heng frowned and said, "Pufeng is a county town. It is the place where the Mo army is going to fight to the death with our army. The guards must be tight. How can our army get in?"
Nie Ze nodded and said: "General Qi is right. Under normal circumstances, Pufeng has already closed the city and imposed martial law. It is basically impossible for our soldiers to sneak in directly." Seeing that Qi Heng was about to speak again, he continued.
: "However, if our soldiers dress up as a grain pressing team, they will have a great chance of sneaking into the city."
"Grain pressing team?" Qi Heng looked at him doubtfully.
Nie Ze said: "If the Mo army wants to fight our army to the death in Bufeng, they must prepare for a long-term battle. The adequacy of food and grass in the city is crucial. Bufeng's own food and grass reserves alone may not be enough.
We need to urgently transfer food and grass from surrounding towns. This is our army's opportunity."
