Hearing Tang Yin ask this, even if Jiang Fan reacted slowly, he understood his intention. Jiang Fan took a deep breath and said seriously: "In the army, General Ziying and the lieutenants in the army are as close as brothers, but their personal relationship is as light as water."
Tang Yin snorted, blinked, and said calmly: "I understand, General Jiang Fan will go on an expedition with Xiaoying, so go back early and prepare!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, I'm going to retire!" Jiang Fan stood up, bowed deeply to Tang Yin, and retreated.
Hearing that Jiang Fan said that Ziying's personal relationship with his generals was as light as water, Tang Yin felt relieved. Ziying was a subordinated general after all, and Tang Yin still didn't fully trust him until now. In addition, during the Qingyuan War, Ziying also beat Tai Tai.
So beautiful, Tang Yin was worried that Ziying, who had such outstanding ability, would one day turn his sword against him. His personal relationship with the soldiers was average, which meant that Ziying had not formed a clique for personal gain, and there was no objection. Of course, Tang Yin
He breathed a sigh of relief.
On that day, Wuying and Jiang Fan found several Ning people who were familiar with the terrain of Armadillo Swamp, commanded 30,000 elite troops, and walked to Armadillo Swamp. In order to facilitate contact with the Pingyuan Army, Ai Jia also went with the army.
The Armadillo Swamp covers a large area and occupies a large area of land in the southeast of Henan Province. Because of the presence of the Armadillo Swamp, transportation in Jiuyou County in the east and south of the River is extremely inconvenient. The official road can only be divided into two branches and make a big detour to avoid it.
Open the swamp area. The terrain of the Armadillo Swamp is surrounded by swamps and woods in the center. If you want to set up an ambush in the Armadillo Swamp, you can only hide in the woods in the central area.
Wuying and Jiang Fan set off from Qingyuan, and arrived at the Armadillo Swamp before the Ning army. The entire army was stationed in the forest, and then sent out network spies to send letters to the Pingyuan Army. Since Wuying and Jiang Fan were on their own in the Armadillo Swamp,
With their support, Xiao Muqing and Wu Guang had nothing to worry about, and they boldly led their troops to pursue Ning Bing.
The commander of the Ning army was still the cowardly General Ning Zhongwu Huan. According to his original intention, since the Feng army had broken the city and Xiaoxia was lost, his side should retreat because the county town to the west had been captured by the Feng army.
, after cutting off the route back to the capital, we should retreat south to Jiuyou County.
However, Wu Huan's generals tried to dissuade him, saying that if he retreated without fighting, he would be severely punished if he let the king know. It would be better to take advantage of Feng Jun's unfamiliarity with the terrain east of the river and lure Feng Jun to the Armadillo Swamp.
, in this way, one's own side has the hope of turning defeat into victory, and may even regain lost ground.
After being persuaded by his subordinates, Wu Huan also felt that it made sense. He immediately adopted the opinions of his subordinates and led his army to retreat to the Armadillo Swamp. As a result, during this retreat, he happened to run into Wuying and Jiang Fan who had already been ambushing there.
Ning Jun, Wu Ying, and Jiang Fan thought of going together. They also wanted to hide in this forest. When the Feng Army came after them, they would fall into the quagmire outside the woods. They took the opportunity to shoot arrows, but the Feng Army could not advance.
, if they cannot retreat quickly, they will inevitably be defeated. They are taking advantage of the trend to fight back, and they will definitely be able to annihilate the Feng Army. However, the current situation is completely opposite to what they expected. It is their turn to fall into the quagmire and bear the arrow array of Lin Feng Army.
.
This time, Ning Jun was completely knocked unconscious. Ning Jun never dreamed that there would be enemies hidden in the Armadillo Swamp. He was caught off guard and was shot to death and injured by Feng Jun's arrow array.
The Ning soldiers all wore steel helmets and armor, which was much heavier than the Feng Army's armor, and it was more difficult to move in the swamp than the Feng Army. If they retreated at this time, even if they could exit, there might not be a few people left.
At that time, the Feng army in the rear was chasing and killing, and his entire army would be wiped out. At the critical moment, Wu Huan finally showed the adaptability and courage that a lieutenant general should have.
He immediately issued an order that all the soldiers in the army could only move forward and not retreat. Even if they used people to fill up the arrow formation of the Feng Army, they had to rush over and fight into the woods before fighting the enemy. Wu Huan, who had never been very courageous,
After finally being tough, the soldiers below also risked their lives and charged into the woods against the arrow array of the wind army.
The Ning army had begun to fight for their lives, but Wu Ying and Jiang Fan, who were confident of victory, did not want to fight each other desperately. They gave the order, and the entire army retreated while firing arrows, leaving the woods to the Ning army. The Feng army officers were already familiar with the swamp.
Due to the characteristics of the area, when retreating, I was very experienced in taking off my shoes and socks, and quickly retreated with my bare feet.
In the end, the Ning Army successfully defeated the Feng Army at the cost of more than 10,000 soldiers and occupied the woods. People could have breathed a sigh of relief, but soon a new crisis came. The 90,000 plain troops led by Xiao Muqing and Wu Guang
The officers and soldiers of the army arrived, and another 10,000 people from the Pingyuan Army stayed behind in Xiaoxia City.
With the arrival of the Pingyuan Army, Wuying and Jiang Fan immediately joined forces with them and formed a square formation around the woods, surrounding the entire forest. However, the Feng Army surrounded but did not attack, and the Ning Army in the forest
Dry consumption.
The water in the swamp area is not drinkable and can easily breed diseases and plagues. If Feng Jun wants to drink water, he must get it from somewhere outside the swamp. It is very difficult. If Feng Jun is like this, the trapped Ning Jun will be even worse.
, the forest is not as good as outside, there is no sewage water source here, and as for food, there is even less food. When Feng Jun was stationed, the fungi and plants in the forest were wiped out long ago, and now they are left to Ning Jun.
There are only bare trees. If there are any living things, it is armadillos scurrying all over the ground and mosquitoes and flies everywhere.
At this time, Wu Huan suddenly realized that this place was really a desert! But he didn't realize it until now. It was too late. The generals who had given him the idea were also dumbfounded at this time, and their faces were all ashen.
Silent and speechless.
The Feng Army had made up their mind to encircle rather than attack, just waiting for the Ning Army to take the initiative to break through, so that they could wait for work.
In the evening of that day, Ning Jun could not hold back his composure and launched a counterattack against Feng Jun's encirclement. But there was no place for charging in the quagmire, not to mention that Ning Jun was also wearing a heavy armor, making every step difficult for the soldiers.
One night, Ning's army launched three breakouts, but was shot and beaten by Feng's army. They were all driven back. Not a single person escaped, but they suffered numerous casualties and many casualties.
After suffering the loss, Ning Jun became completely honest and no longer organized a breakout. He stayed in the woods, defended instead of attacking, and confronted Feng Jun.
There was no problem with Ning Jun's confrontation for a short period of time, but as time went on, Ning Bing couldn't bear it. People can go without food for one or two days, but they can't go without water for one or two days. Ning Jun's officers and soldiers looked at the ground being wet.
The drink made my lips dry and my tongue dry, and I swallowed and spit.
On the other hand, looking outside the forest, the Feng Army camp was full of smoke. Not only did they have water to drink, but they could also find dry firewood to make a fire and boil the water for drinking. What's even more terrible is that the Feng Army had logistical supplies, food,
Meat can be delivered continuously, and every time it is meal time, the soldiers of the Feng Army can eat delicious meat. The smell of the meat floats into the forest, making the soldiers of Ning's mouth water and their eyes glow blue.
Naturally, Xiao Muqing would not waste the opportunity to attack the enemy's psychology and morale. As soon as it was time to eat, he would send veterans carrying broth to his own camp. While drinking the soup, he would shout to the forest to report the dishes for today's meal.
Then he persuaded Ning Jun to surrender.
Wu Huan is timid, so he can escape without a fight, but he dare not surrender to Feng Jun. After all, his home is in Liangzhou, and his family is also in Liangzhou. If he surrenders, his whole family will be affected.
He couldn't save his head. He issued a death order to his subordinates. No matter who wanted to surrender to the enemy, he would be killed without mercy.
Some of the Ning soldiers who couldn't stand the hunger and thirst wanted to surrender to the Feng army, but as soon as they came out of the woods, they were shot dead with arrows by their comrades in the forest.
The battle lasted for three days. During these three days, the Feng army did not launch an attack. However, the Ning army in the forest was extremely miserable. Seventy or eighty thousand Ning army soldiers were drunk and hungry, and the leaves in the forest were destroyed
, the bark of the trees has been eaten up, and many people have even begun to eat the mud on the ground. At least there is still some moisture in the mud.
Plague and disease spread among the Ning army, and a large number of soldiers fell ill. Many soldiers who were injured in the battle could not be treated, and their wounds became suppurative and rotten. People could only pick out maggots from the ground and put them on the wounds to use maggots.
Eat the carrion around the wound...
At this time, the Ning Army, even if the Feng Army did not come to fight, could not hold out for two days. Being forced and helpless, Wu Huan could only fight desperately and lead the troops to break out in person. He ordered the main force to break out from the north, attracting the Feng Army.
Attention, he himself led a small number of confidants and elite troops to break out from the south.
But how could the Ning Army, whose combat power had been greatly reduced, break through the more than 100,000 active Feng Army outside? In this battle, the main force of the Ning Army that broke out from the north was repulsed by the Feng Army. Wu Huan and his confidants who broke out from the south were defeated.
Those who didn't run away were all killed by the wind army's random arrows.
The general in the army was dead, and the soldiers below were no longer willing to resist and wait for death, so they all surrendered to the Feng army.
At this time, the problem fell to the Feng Army, how to deal with the tens of thousands of Ning Army surrenders.
Since the plague had spread among the Ning army, the Feng army did not dare to approach them at all. Xiao Muqing was really unwilling to let them return to Ning country. He called Wu Guang, Jiang Fan and Wu Ying to discuss how to deal with this large group of soldiers.
Ning Jun.
Xiao Muqing first put forward his own opinion, to shoot on the spot, leaving no one behind. After hearing his words, Wuying took a breath and said hurriedly: "General Ziying said, if you want to kill, just kill the generals of the Ning Army. It is best to treat the soldiers below.
If you can, let it go. In this way, Ning's army will lose its determination to fight our army in the future!"
After hearing this, Xiao Muqing sneered and murmured in a low voice: "Women's kindness!" After a pause, he said seriously: "What we have to do is to let Ning Jun know that our soldiers in Dafeng are all tiger and wolf masters.
, is a demon who kills without blinking an eye. He wants to make Ning's army fear us and fear us. In this way, when the battle comes, the morale of Ning's army will be lower than that of our army. The brave one wins when the two armies fight! If you are afraid,
How can we win? Therefore, we must kill all the prisoners of Ning Army to avoid future troubles!"
