As the leading general of the Ning Army's front army was shot and killed, the Ning soldiers in the front army could no longer withstand the fierce attack of the Pingyuan Army.
Flee in defeat.
The defeat of the front army was so fast, even beyond Wei Zheng's expectation. In his opinion, even if his front army was not a match for the Feng Army, it could at least withstand it for a while. Unexpectedly, the battle did not even last an hour.
The army was completely praised by Feng Jun. Wei Zheng was surprised and nodded secretly. Feng Jun was worthy of being called the Tiger and Wolf Division. It was really powerful.
At this time, the expressions of all the Ning generals who were around Wei Zheng had changed. Seeing the defeat of the front army, and the overwhelming numbers of pursuers from the Feng Kingdom behind them, everyone felt that a disaster was imminent, and their hearts shrank into a ball.
However, Wei Zheng was calm in the face of danger, with a calm face. He looked at the generals on the left and right, and said slowly and relaxedly: "Generals, don't worry. I just said before the two armies, our army will definitely fight in this battle."
Victory!" As he spoke, he waved the command flag in his hand and asked the left and right armies of the Ning army to close up in the center and attack the Pingyuan army that was chasing the front army.
On the battlefield, the change of the commander's flag is a military order. Seeing the signal sent by Wei Zheng, the commanders of the left and right armies immediately issued orders for the entire army to attack and surround the Pingyuan Army from both sides.
Ning Jun had good intentions, but before the left and right armies could encircle the Pingyuan Army, they were blocked by the Sanshui Army and Tianying Army on both sides of the Feng Army.
The wings of Feng Ning's two armies came into contact, which meant that the battle was in full swing. Hundreds of thousands of people were slaughtered, and the scene was both spectacular and tragic. The soldiers in the front fell one row after another, and the soldiers behind stepped on the corpses of their companions.
If we continue to move forward, the life of any individual will become insignificant at this time, and the key to victory or defeat depends on the overall strength of both parties.
As far as the archery array is concerned in a long-distance battle, the Ning army is not inferior to the Feng army and can still have the upper hand. But when the two sides come into contact, the level of strength will be obvious immediately. On the battlefield, although the two sides fought fiercely, they still have the upper hand.
The Feng Army's overall camp was advancing forward, while the Ning Army was gradually retreating. The corpses on the ground were obviously more steel helmets than leather armors.
Tang Yin, who was sitting in the central army, looked at the battlefield ahead and raised his lips. Originally, he planned to put his own direct army on the battlefield, but now it seems that there is no need for that. He can completely wait for Ning Jun's central army.
After the main force entered the battle, our own side rushed over and defeated Ning's army in one fell swoop.
Ning Jun is still the same as before, fighting like a tiger at a distance and like a rat at close range. Wei Zheng's heroic words just now were just a bluff to scare people! Thinking of this, Tang Yin looked up and smiled, leaning back slightly and raising his head to face
The left and right said: "Now that the victory has been decided, I am afraid that the enemy's central army will join the battle before long. All generals, please prepare first and follow me to fight later to defeat the main force of the Ning Army!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Everyone excitedly raised their hands in response. Everyone around Tang Yin were experienced generals who had been on the battlefield for a long time. When they saw the situation on the battlefield, everyone knew what was going on. Our current advantage was too great.
It seems that the Ning army's central army has not yet been sent to the battlefield, but even if it comes up, it will be like a mantis and it will be difficult to compete with its own army.
A general of the direct army said excitedly to Tang Yin: "Your Majesty, if our army can defeat the Ning army with 500,000 people on the opposite side this time, Ning Guo will have no more troops to send, and not only Hedong will become the king's bag.
As long as the king is willing, he can continue to march westward and seize the opportunity to seize the land and cities of Ning State!"
"Yeah!" Tang Yin liked hearing this, he nodded his head and smiled leisurely.
Just when Tang Yin thought he had the victory, Letian hurried over from behind. His speed was so fast that he almost hit Tang Yin's horse. His sudden arrival shocked the generals and guards around him.
, people subconsciously raised their hands and put them on the swords under their ribs. Just as they were about to draw the swords, they saw clearly that the person coming was Lotte. They let out a sigh of relief, and then dropped their raised hands.
Tang Yin did not make any move. He looked down at Lotte who was standing in front of the horse with an extremely ugly face. He had an ominous premonition in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face and asked calmly: "Lotian, what happened?
, to make you come here in such a hurry?"
Letian looked left and right, then approached Tang Yin's side and said urgently: "The two generals Ye Quan and Gao Yi who were sent by the king to set up ambushes on both sides of our army have both been killed. In addition, there are two generals on the north and south sides of our army.
Fifty thousand soldiers and horses of the Ning army are rushing over quickly, and they are now less than five miles away from our army!"
"What?" Hearing this, not to mention Tang Yin was stunned, even the generals such as Guyue and Wuying beside him were at a loss and couldn't figure out what was going on. Fifty thousand Ning soldiers were killed on each side of the north and south.
, where did these 100,000 enemy troops come from? Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, and asked quietly: "How did Ye Quan and Gao Yi die? Where did the 100,000 enemy troops come from!"
Letian took a deep breath and said seriously: "One hundred thousand Ning troops are from Nanhai and Jianxing respectively..."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Yin waved his hand and interrupted: "Letian, according to your and Ai Jia's intelligence, didn't it say that the Ning army in Nanhai and Jianxing only has more than 20,000 people?"
Lotte's brows were about to turn into knots, and he said bitterly: "Your Majesty, Wei Zheng is cunning. He had disguised one hundred thousand Ning troops as Ning people beforehand, mixed them with the people who were taking refuge in the surrounding villages and towns, and quietly entered Nanhai and Jianxing.
, my brothers under my command failed to notice. Just now, a hundred thousand Ning troops from Nanhai and Jianxing suddenly came here, and the two generals Ye Quan and Gao Yi were outnumbered, but in the end they were unable to stop them.
Ning Jun, most of the brothers below were also killed... Your Majesty, with the speed of Ning Jun, they are still at most five miles away from the battlefield, your Majesty must make a decision early!"
The news brought by Lotte was undoubtedly a blow to Tang Yin who was in high spirits. Now he finally figured it out. No wonder Wei Zheng was so confident that he could defeat his own side. It turned out that he had already deployed heavy troops in Nanhai and Jianxing.
, using 100,000 troops as a surprise force to attack the own army from both wings, no wonder that on the battlefield of the decisive battle, the Ning army seemed to have only 400,000 people. It turned out that the other 100,000 troops had already been transferred by Wei Zheng, but now Tang Yin wanted to
It is too late to understand this. This is the most critical moment when the Feng Army is fighting with the Ning Army. Once the two wings are attacked by the enemy, the situation of the Feng Army will take a turn for the worse. Not only will the advantage be lost, but it may also fall behind.
The result of a disastrous defeat for the entire army.
Now Tang Yin has only two choices, either fight or retreat. However, he is really unwilling to be asked to withdraw his troops under such a favorable situation. But if he stays and continues to fight, what will he do if 100,000 Ning troops arrive? Then
We are surrounded by enemies on three sides, and the situation is even more pessimistic.
Tang Yin sat on the horse with an expressionless face and was speechless for a long time, but people close to him could clearly hear the creaking sound, which was the sound of Tang Yin's palms tightly grasping the reins.
"Your Majesty?" Seeing that Tang Yin did not express his position, Letian became anxious. At this time, the situation was extremely critical. One hundred thousand Ning troops could be killed at any time, and we could not delay any longer.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, the reins of the war horse were abruptly broken by Tang Yin, who almost spit out fire from his eyes.
Wuying had never seen Tang Yin like this before. She was startled at first, then quickly stretched out her hand and pressed it on the back of Tang Yin's hand. Her bright eyes looked at Tang Yin with concern, as if she wanted to persuade her, but she
The corners of his mouth moved, but he still didn't speak.
War is not a child's play. Victory or defeat can be determined by a single thought. It is useless to persuade anyone at this time. Tang Yin can only make his own decision.
Tang Yin took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, first patted Wuying's hand, and then pulled it away. At the same time, he was desperately trying to control himself to calm down and weigh the pros and cons.
Soon, Tang Yin's rationality told him that this battle could no longer continue and he must retreat immediately, otherwise there would be a risk of the entire army being annihilated.
Gulu! He swallowed and slowly opened his eyes. He saw Letian, Gu Yue, Wuying and the generals around him looking at him eagerly. Tang Yin, who was already extremely angry, suddenly burst into laughter, shook his head and lowered his head.
Cursing loudly, "Old Wei Zheng is so treacherous and cunning!" While mumbling to himself, he turned his horse's head, waved his hand calmly and said four words: "Ming Jin, withdraw the troops!"
To say these four simple words, Tang Yin used courage and determination that are unimaginable to ordinary people.
It was painful for him to make the decision to retreat, but the sound of ringing gold at this time made the soldiers of the Feng Army who were fighting bloody battles in front even more painful. His side clearly had the upper hand, and people couldn't understand why they had to suddenly withdraw at this critical moment. This
Didn't he deliberately return the fruits of victory to Ning Ren?
However, the military orders fell like a mountain, not to mention the military orders of the monarch Tang Yin. No matter how hard the soldiers of the Feng Army held their breath, how angry or unwilling they were, they would not dare to disobey Tang Yin's orders.
Amidst the continuous sound of gold ringing, the soldiers of the Feng Army who were in the excitement of fighting were immediately discouraged. The soldiers behind them no longer moved forward, but stood still, and the soldiers in front began to retreat together until
Retreat behind the soldiers in the rear, stabilize your camp, and cover the retreat of your comrades in front.
Hearing the loud golden sound from the rear of the Feng Army, Wei Zheng's spirit was shocked. He knew that the two strange troops he arranged must have arrived, otherwise the Feng Army would not have suddenly chosen to withdraw its troops when the situation was overwhelming. Wei Zheng was in high spirits.
, pulled out his sword and shouted loudly to the Ning generals on the left and right: "Our army's reinforcements have arrived. The Feng army knew that it was outnumbered and took the initiative to retreat. Everyone rush out with me to chase the Feng thief! Kill -"
"kill--"
As soon as they heard that reinforcements were coming from their side, and the Feng army was indeed retreating, General Ning seemed to be on stimulants. They all cheered up, and everyone picked up their weapons. At Wei Zheng's signal,
They all shouted and rushed out. As General Ning took the initiative to attack, more than 100,000 Chinese troops began to advance at full speed to pursue the retreating Feng army.
