Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and looked at Liang Qi in disbelief. He had just finished punishing them with twenty military whips and one month's salary. Liang Qi changed it to fifty military sticks and half a year's salary in front of him. He was very brave.
Is it too big?
After Liang Qi passed the order, he watched the seven generals being dragged out for execution. Then he bowed deeply to Tang Yin and said sternly: "Your Majesty, if the army is unable to do so, the army will not be able to form an army. If we do not punish the seven of them severely today, our soldiers will suffer in the future."
Everyone in the general will ignore military discipline and rules, and everyone will not act in accordance with the general's orders. This is not the way to build an army, but will lead to self-destruction."
Tang Yin was speechless by Liang Qi's words. His old face turned red, he cleared his throat and said: "What General Liang Qi said makes sense, just do what you want!"
With the arrival of Tang Yin and Liang Qi's severe punishment, the massacre of the city by the Sanshui Army was finally stopped. However, in this short period of time, no less than thousands of people in Fengcheng were massacred, but Fengcheng
The army found a good excuse to clear out the mob. They planned all the people who were massacred to join the ranks of the mob, and it seemed that they should be killed.
Next, Liang Qi immediately asked people to write notices to calm the people and post them in prominent places in the city to reassure the people in the city that as long as they were not enemies of the Feng Army, the Feng Army would never commit any crimes, etc. The Feng Army's massacre of the city was certain.
To a certain extent, it played the role of killing chickens and respecting monkeys. Although the Ning people in the city hated Feng Jun, they were also afraid of Feng Jun. The number of sneak attacks on lone Feng Jun was indeed reduced a lot.
Tang Yin did not stay long in Fengcheng. After visiting Shangguan Yuanrang's injury and understanding the situation of the Sanshui Army, he took Shangguan brothers, Cheng Jin and other secret arrow personnel back to the direct army. Currently, the Flying Eagle Army is advancing westward.
The momentum is overwhelming, and they have taken five towns in a row and are close to Qingyuan City, the central hinterland of Hedong. The direct army following the Flying Eagle Army is naturally not relaxed. When they get here, the entire army is on high alert, fearing that they will fall into it accidentally.
Surrounded by the enemy. Under such circumstances, how could Tang Yin dare to leave the direct army for too long?
When Tang Yin returned to the direct army, he immediately received news from Letian and Ai Jia that 200,000 of the 500,000 troops reinforced by the Ning Army in the northern region had withdrawn to Ningdu Liangzhou, and another 300,000 troops had been raised from Liangzhou.
, formed an army of 500,000 people, with General Ning Wei Zheng as the orthodox commander and General Ming Xiaotian as the deputy commander, and headed straight for the Hedong area.
Unexpectedly, the speed of the Ning army, especially the reinforcements from the north, was so fast that 200,000 people could retreat to Ningdu. It was really incredible. Tang Yin asked: "The commanders of the two generals of the Ning army are...
who?"
Ai Jia smiled and said, "Your Majesty and Ming Xiaotian have some connections."
"Oh?" What connection could he have with Ning Ren? Tang Yin looked at Ai Jia curiously, waiting for her to continue.
Ai Jia asked: "The king still remembers that when our army fought with the Ning army, we captured a Ning general named Mingxuan."
Of course Tang Yin remembered this. He blinked and asked, "Is Mingxuan the son of Ming Xiaotian?"
Ai Jia nodded and praised: "Your Majesty is wise."
Tang Yin smiled and said: "It turns out we are old enemies! What about Wei Zheng? Who is he?"
Letian said: "It is said that Wei Zheng is the most trusted general of King Yan Chu of Ning. Although this man comes from a powerful family, he has been familiar with military books and strategies since he was a child. He is also born with supernatural powers and has extraordinary force. He is a rare civil and military general among Ning's generals.
The all-rounder. Your Majesty, you can’t take it lightly!”
Tang Yin pondered for a moment, lowered his head, and looked at the map of Hedong. After a while, he murmured: "Ning Army has many reinforcements and two generals as commanders. The battle in the future will be extremely difficult.
, during the time when the Ning army rushed to Hedong, our army must capture Qingyuan City and take the initiative." At this point, he looked at Letian and Ai Jia and said, "You two immediately send your subordinates to the front.
Ziying sent a message to him, telling him to go to Qingyuan as quickly as possible. Within three days, Qingyuan must be captured no matter what!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Letian and Ai Jia both handed over their hands to accept the order and turned around to leave.
It makes sense for Tang Yin to ask each of them to deliver orders to Ziying. After all, Hedong is currently controlled by the Ning State and is actually the territory of the Ning State. Tang Yin is also afraid that a small group of Ning troops will intercept and kill his own messengers halfway.
By transmitting messages separately through the Internet, the security will be higher and it can better ensure that your orders are conveyed to the Flying Eagle Army ahead.
Qingyuan is the county town of Hedong. It is located in the very center of the Hedong region. It can be said to be the central hub of Hedong. It is the only place that passes from east to west, north and south. No matter which party controls Qingyuan, it will gain a lot strategically.
Of course, Tang Yin hoped that when Ning's 500,000 reinforcements arrived in Hedong, he could use Qingyuan as his support and base camp to fight the Ning army.
Tang Yin's order was successfully passed to Ziying's hands by the spies of Tianyan and Diwang. After reading Tang Yin's order, Ziying took a deep breath and suddenly felt that the burden on her shoulders was much heavier.
Ning Guo sent an army of 500,000 to reinforce Hedong. It had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers. If it could not create other advantages, it would be difficult to compete with Ning's army. Tang Yin's order was correct and he captured the army before Ning's reinforcements arrived.
Qingyuan is also very necessary, but Ziying has no idea about this battle.
Qingyuan is a county town with a large city, sufficient reserves, high walls, and strong defenses. There are also more than 30,000 Ning troops stationed inside. The number is not large, but the 30,000 people rely on Qingyuan's complete city defense system. The Flying Eagle Army
It is also very difficult to attack by force.
Seeing Ziying furrowing his brows and remaining silent, Zhan Hu on the side laughed and said: "General Ziying, since the king has an order, he ordered you and I to capture Qingyuan within three days, so our army should march quickly!"
Since entering the hinterland of Hedong, the marching speed of the Flying Eagle Army has slowed down a lot, and the closer it is to Qingyuan, the slower it marches. This is Ziying's order. He doesn't know the terrain here at all, for fear that the army will accidentally hit the enemy.
There was an ambush, so he adopted a step-by-step strategy. The army stopped and stopped during the march. Every time he walked a certain distance, Ziying would send a large number of spies to explore the surrounding areas within five miles. After confirming that there was no enemy situation, he ordered the army
keep going.
Zhan Hu had long been impatient with this kind of march, and now Tang Yin just sent a military order to capture Qingyuan within three days. Zhan Hu was naturally very happy, and murmured in his heart, why is Ziying so procrastinating this time?!
Ziying glanced at Zhan Hu and ignored him. After pondering for a while, he asked the Sky Eye and Ground Network spies accompanying the army: "Have you explored all the paths ahead?"
The official ranks of the two spy leaders were both at the level of regimental commander. After hearing Ziying's question, the two looked at each other, cupped their hands and said, "It hasn't been found out yet."
Ziying frowned and said, "If I remember correctly, I have already told the two generals about this matter."
The two nodded and replied: "The general did explain it, but now there is heavy fog, making it extremely difficult to detect. Please forgive me, general."
"Oh?" Ziying was startled for a moment, then stood up, walked out of the big tent, and took a look outside. There was fog outside, and the distance he could see was only about three feet away. Then he looked further into the distance.
, nothing can be seen clearly.
The Hedong area is warm and rainy, with little temperature difference throughout the year. It is suitable for grain production, but not suitable for fighting. The roads in the Hedong area are rarely muddy. It rains almost every day, and fog is a common occurrence.
There is no pattern yet, sometimes it fogs in the early morning, sometimes at noon or in the afternoon.
After looking at it, Ziying shook his head, sighed helplessly, and returned to the tent. Zhan Hu, Jiang Fan and the other generals were all looking at him eagerly, waiting for him to give the order to march.
The king asked the Sky Eagle Army to capture Qingyuan within three days. At the current marching speed, let alone being unable to capture Qingyuan within three days, I'm afraid they won't even be able to reach Qingyuan!
Ziying held it in for a long time, then said softly: "It's heavy fog, it's not suitable for marching."
After hearing this, all the generals were discouraged. Zhan Hu couldn't hold his breath and said loudly: "General Ziying, since we entered Hedong, it has been foggy almost every day. Doesn't it mean that the general will not march when there is fog? Then?
When do we have to wait until we arrive at Qingyuan? General Ziying, don’t forget, the king’s military order has already arrived.”
This was what put Ziying in a dilemma. He lowered his head and picked up the letter on the table, read it for a while, slammed the letter on the table, looked around the generals, and said: "Send to my general, the whole army is up."
Camp, march to Qingyuan!"
"Yes! General!"
The generals were in high spirits and stepped in to take orders one after another. They turned around and walked out of the tent together. Each led his troops to start packing and preparing for the march.
Marching in foggy weather is very difficult. The sky is dark, torches need to be lit, and visibility is extremely poor. If a soldier walks a little slower, he may not be able to see the person in front of him. Marching in this kind of weather is also the most likely to happen.
A situation of massive stragglers.
When the Flying Eagle Army marched forward, Ziying's heart was already in his throat, but Zhan Hu was extremely excited. As he advanced on foot, he said to Jiang Fan who was riding beside him: "When we arrive at Qingyuan, General Jiang Fan will say goodbye."
Let me fight, and I will take the lead."
Even if Zhan Hu is not riding a horse, he is not much shorter than Jiang Fan. With his height, he is not suitable for riding a horse. Jiang Fan smiled, nodded and said, "I am willing to hold the battle for General Zhan Hu."
Jiang Fan is low-key and indifferent, and rarely takes the initiative to argue with others. Zhan Hu likes such people the most, and feels comfortable working with Jiang Fan. Of course, Jiang Fan had shot him with an arrow long ago.
He was forgotten about it.
After marching forward for about ten miles, the Sky Eagle Army came to a depression. The terrain here is high on both sides and low in the middle, and the official road is located exactly in the middle. Because of the low terrain, whenever it rains, the rain falls.
They converge on the road, making the road extremely muddy even on a sunny day. When you step on it, you can almost no longer see the surface of your feet.
