This active attack by the Mo Kingdom Navy was mainly a fire attack. Half of the two hundred large ships of the Feng Kingdom Navy were completely burned, and some were damaged and were in urgent need of repair.
In the first battle of Zhenjiang, the Fengyu coalition suffered a huge defeat.
Not only did the 5,000 soldiers of the war army die inexplicably, but even the ships that were finally transported from the Feng Kingdom were damaged by more than half. This was like a blow to the morale of the Fengyu Alliance Army.
Later, Tang Yin also summarized the matter in a letter to the Feng Kingdom court: A country without a navy is like a missing limb. In front of the enemy's powerful navy, it will never dare to fight hard and can only avoid its edge.
Sneaking by secretly and committing dirty deeds, what a disgrace! This is a great shame and humiliation!
He attributed this failure to the fact that the Feng Kingdom's court failed to take precautions, failed to pay attention to the navy, and failed to train the navy, so that it did not dare to confront the Mo Kingdom's navy on the Zhenjiang battlefield, so the enemy took advantage of it.
Causing a series of undue losses to our side.
Tang Yin's reply to the court, especially the ending with several humiliations, spurred the civil and military ministers in the court to a great extent. It was not until the defeat of the first battle of the Zhenjiang Water Battle that Feng Guo really paid attention to Qishui.
military.
Of course, this is something to talk about later. After all, the city of Rome was not built in a day, and water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the nearer.
Now, the combat effectiveness of the Feng Kingdom navy has been greatly reduced, and it no longer poses a threat to the Mo Kingdom navy on the south bank, and has completely lost its ability to compete head-on with the Mo Kingdom navy. At this time, the war is already very unfavorable to the Fengyu coalition.
Zhenjiang seems to have become an insurmountable barrier, but if the war continues to drag on, Fengyu's coalition forces will not only consume huge amounts of food and grass, but also the best fighter planes. Once Mo's Donghai Navy arrives in Zhenjiang, Fengyu will
The coalition forces' cross-river operation completely lost hope.
Even though his own navy was not used, he was still successfully attacked by Mo's navy and lost so many ships. Of course, Tang Yin had to hold Feng Kingdom's navy leader He Yi to account.
He Yi's reply to Tang Yin was that he originally thought that his main army was going to cross Zhenjiang through the backwater bay, so he neglected to take precautions. When the Mo navy attacked in a sneak attack, most of his soldiers were not on the ship.
, but rested in the camp to prepare for war. When he heard the alarm, he rushed out of the camp and returned to the ships. Many ships had been attacked by the opponent's rockets and caught fire. If he hadn't led his soldiers to fight desperately,
Rescue and counterattack the enemy, I'm afraid more ships will be burned.
The implication is that the main responsibility does not lie with him. Not only does he have no fault, he actually has merit.
Of course, Tang Yin could not accept such an argument. He did not conduct any further questioning and directly accused He Yi of dereliction of duty. He was escorted back to Yancheng and handed over to the Left Prime Minister Qiu Zhen and the Military Government Hall. Taking over He Yi's position was
Two lieutenants, Sun Bing and Xu Yan.
When He Yi made a big mistake, these two navy generals with orthodox Ning origins finally became wives and took He Yi's place as the second commander-in-chief of the Feng Kingdom navy.
Regardless of what Sun Bing and Xu Yan are like, in terms of water fighting, they are indeed much better than He Yi.
Now that the Feng Kingdom's ships were seriously damaged, Sun and Xu proposed to Tang Yin that they immediately mobilize craftsmen from Ningdi to rush over and build as many ships as they could on the north bank of Zhenjiang, at least to ensure that their own navy and the Mo Kingdom's navy
Have the strength to fight head-on.
Tang Yin felt that what Sun Bing and Xu Yan said was true. He followed their suggestions and recruited ship craftsmen from Ningdi.
I don't know if it's still too late to make amends. Tang Yin can only do his best and obey fate.
On the other side, Ah San and Ah Si followed Tang Yin's order and led people to Yingjiang Town, bringing the old mayor and his entire family back to the military camp.
Knowing that the mayor of Yingjiang Town had been brought back, the anger in Tang Yin's heart that had not completely subsided sprang up again. He said in a deep voice: "Bring him to the Chinese army tent to see me!"
The old mayor was escorted by Feng Jun to the Chinese army's tent. When he arrived, Tang Yin was sharpening his knife with leather sand. The steel knife, curved like a crescent moon, shone with cold light and pierced people's eyes.
At this time, the old mayor didn't know what happened. He was trembling all over. After entering, the old man didn't even dare to look at anyone in the big tent. He immediately fell to his knees and kowtowed: "Little
"People see adults"
"Do you still recognize me?" Tang Yin glanced at him and continued to sharpen the blade with leather sand.
Hearing his words, the old mayor felt that they sounded very familiar. When he looked up, he was shocked.
A few days ago, Tang Yin was wearing casual clothes, but now he has put on gorgeous brocade clothes and embroidered belts. As the saying goes, a man relies on his clothes and his horse relies on his saddle. At this time, Tang Yin was less gentle and more cold and violent.
The old town boy was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "My benefactor?"
"I don't dare." Tang Yin sneered and said, "My name is Tang Yin. You can call me Wind King, and you can call him by his first name, but don't call me my benefactor anymore." He put down the skin, took out his handkerchief, and wiped it gently.
Hold the knife surface.
Tang Yin? Wind King Tang Yin! The old town's head buzzed, and he could hardly believe his ears. The young man who saved his daughter turned out to be Wind King Tang Yin! He knelt on the ground with his mouth agape and stared blankly.
Tang Yin has not moved for a long time.
Ignoring his reaction after learning his true identity, Tang Yin still focused his eyes on his scimitar and said softly: "You are so brave. You dare to collude with Mo Jun on the other side and deceive this king. Do you know
Is this a capital crime that will implicate the Nine Clans?"
The old town boy trembled in excitement, and suddenly came to his senses. He stammered and asked: "I wonder why His Highness the Wind King said this!"
Bang! The scimitar in Tang Yin's hand hit the table hard, and he looked directly at the old mayor with his fierce eyes, and said in a ferocious voice: "You still dare to pretend to be confused with me? Just now, my army was here
When we were crossing the river from Backwater Bay, we were plotted against by Mo Jun. Five thousand soldiers had no bones left. Based on this alone, even if you have a hundred heads, I won't be able to chop them off!"
The old man in the town finally understood what had happened. He collapsed on the ground and kept shouting: "You are wronged, I am wronged. I dare you to swear to God that I never knew there was an ambush in Huishui Bay. Otherwise, I would be a great person."
I don’t even have the guts to recommend Huishui Bay to His Highness the Feng King. His Highness the Feng King is aware of it, and I hope His Highness the Feng King is aware of it!”
"I wonder if there is an ambush there? Haha." Tang Yin laughed angrily and said: "To the south of Backwater Bay, the river is covered with spikes, making it difficult for ships to approach. You said there are people secretly fishing there, but I think so.
Know how they fish in the river full of spikes!"
"This" the old mayor was also dumbfounded. He didn't know what was going on on the south side of the backwater bay. After all, he was not the one who went fishing in the boat, but some brave fishermen. He only learned about the backwater bay through the fishermen.
There were no Mo Jun sentries in the water bay area, so it was safe to get out of the boat. As for the spikes placed under the river in the south, he had no idea at all.
But now that I want to explain this, I can no longer explain it clearly. The old mayor was so anxious that he was sweating all over and could only keep shouting about injustice.
The more he complained about injustice, the more furious Tang Yin became. Without any warning, the latter suddenly grabbed the scimitar on the desk, waved his hand, and the scimitar formed a streak of lightning and shot straight at the old mayor.
The old mayor didn't even react at all, and was hit in the chest by the flying knife. There was a thud in his ear, and the blade penetrated his chest and came out from behind.
As Tang Yin threw out the flying knife, others also ducked in front of the old mayor, and with lightning speed, they quickly drew out their scimitars, then swung them sideways, and with a click, the old mayor's head fell off, but no blood spurted out.
came out, with steam rising from all over its body.
Tang Yin sucked up the spiritual energy floating in the air, and shouted to the left and right with lingering anger: "Behead all the men in this thief's family, and hand over the female family members to the Hundred War Army."
"Yes!" The guards on the left and right hurriedly agreed and ran out quickly. Then, another guard came in and dragged the old mayor's body out.
The knife slashed the old mayor. Tang Yin put away the knife and sat back on the mat. Only then did he calm down and search the old mayor's soul for the specific details of his affair with Nan'an Mo Jun.
But what Tang Yin didn't expect was that since the Mo army withdrew to the south of Zhenjiang, the old town mayor had no contact with the Mo army. As for the spikes placed under the backwater bay, the old town really didn't know.
Affection.
Could it be that he killed the wrong person? Tang Yin frowned secretly. If it wasn't for the collusion between the old mayor and Mo Jun, then how could Mo Jun set up an ambush in Backwater Bay? Could it be that Mo Jun had set it up a long time ago? This seems to be the only way
It makes sense.
After some careful analysis, Tang Yin could probably confirm that the Mok army must have felt that the backwater bay area was difficult to defend, so they simply abandoned the defense. However, in order to prevent themselves from sneaking across the river from the backwater bay, they set up the river there early.
There are spikes underneath.
It can be seen from this that Gao Hang, the new commander of Mozambique's navy, is much smarter and more cunning than he thought, and his defense on the south bank is really watertight.
Even though he knew that he had wrongly blamed the old mayor, Tang Yin did not take back his life. He could only make the mistake and executed all the men in the old mayor's family, while the female relatives were rewarded to the soldiers of the Hundred Wars Army.
If the truth is announced, firstly, it will damage the prestige of the monarch; secondly, it will let the soldiers know that there is such a powerful commander on the other side, which will also have a certain impact on one's own morale, fearing that it will lead to timidity and panic.
psychology.
Tang Yin could hide it from others, but he couldn't hide it from himself. How to defeat Mo Country's new coach Gao Hang was a headache for him.
After the Fengyu Allied Forces suffered a setback in the first battle, five days later, Jade King Lingshuang arrived at the Fengyu Allied Forces camp. Along with Lingshuang came the 100,000 Yuguo Central Army and the 20,000 Feiyu Army headed by Qingyu.
