Chapter 701

In the next few days, Shao Fang was no longer so relaxed in the Feng Kingdom. The emperor's edict against rebellion was already being drafted. Feng Mo's joint attack on Ning was imminent. Tang Yin and Shao Fang began to discuss the specific time, location and attack plan.

Detailed division and coordination of general directions.

Three days later, Shao Fang left Feng State and returned to the country for deployment. Tang Yin was also preparing to leave for Hedong for his second personal expedition to Ning State.

Groups of freshly trained Feng Kingdom recruits went into battle and were continuously dispatched to Hedong. Large quantities of supplies, ordnance, and grain were also transported along with the recruits, and the gears of the war machine began to accelerate.

It was not until the day before his departure that Tang Yin went to the palace to bid farewell to Yin Rou.

Hearing that he was going to personally lead the Feng Army to fight against the Ning Kingdom, Yin Rou was surprised and worried. She subconsciously grabbed Tang Yin's sleeves and asked nervously: "Didn't the two countries of Feng and Ning have already negotiated a peace? Why are they going to war again?"

Tang Yin said with a relaxed face: "Ning State has always been eyeing Feng State. As long as Ning State is not destroyed, Feng State will never have peace."

"Then...do we have to fight?" She grabbed Tang Yin's sleeves tighter.

Tang Yin nodded and said: "The arrow is on the string, how can it not be fired?" After a pause, he patted Yin Rou's little hand and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, this battle will be over soon, at most half a year, at least

In March, I will take you to Ningdu Liangzhou for fun!"

He said it easily, but Yin Rou couldn't relax at all. War is unpredictable, and any accidents may happen... She shook her head and forced herself not to think about bad things. She asked in a low voice: "I

…Can I go with you?”

Tang Yin smiled, raised his hand to gently hold her cheek, and said, "I'm satisfied with Rou'er's heart. Just wait in the palace for news of my triumphant return."

"Well..." Yin Rou also understood that on the battlefield, she was a burden and could not help. Instead, she needed the protection of others. She said with a lonely look: "Yin, you...be careful, I'll wait

you."

Tang Yin didn't say anything more, he held her in his arms silently, sniffing the faint and charming fragrance of her body with fascination.

Half a month later, Yin Zhun issued a proclamation against Ning Guo, accusing him of being unfaithful and rebellious, and invited all the kings in the world to fight against him.

On the second day after the revolt was released, before Ning Guo made any response, Feng and Mozambique declared war on Ning Guo at the same time.

At this time, Tang Yin had arrived at the Hedong camp, and with him were Qiu Zhen, Jiang Fan and fifteen generals selected by the military order.

The current strength of Feng Kingdom's Hedong Camp has exceeded 400,000. The Pingyuan Army, Sanshui Army, Directly Affiliated Army, and Sky Eagle Army all have a strength of more than 100,000.

In the battle against Ning, the Feng Army's primary goal was to cross the Zhang River, defeat the Ning Army's Hexi camp, and completely open the passage into Hexi County.

When Changsun Yuanhong was guarding Hexi, Tang Yin suffered two heavy losses in a row, losing nearly 100,000 troops. Now that the commander of Ningguo guarding Hexi has been replaced by Wei Zheng, Tang Yin does not want to suffer another defeat at the hands of Wei Zheng.

After discussions between Tang Yin and his generals, a battle plan was finally formulated. The Tianying Army took the lead and attacked the Hexi camp head-on, restraining the Ningguo warships, Pingyuan Army, and Sanshui Army.

Although Fengjun has been training in water warfare for a long time in the Hedong camp, due to the limitations of ships and equipment, water warfare is still Fengjun's weakness. This first battle across the water is also the most important for Fengjun.

difficult.

On the day Tang Yin declared war on Ning, in order not to give Ning's army too much time to prepare, Feng's army launched an attack in the morning of that day.

Because the Sky Eagle Army's mission was the most important and difficult, almost all the wooden boats in the Feng Army were assigned to the Sky Eagle Army. The army of more than 100,000 people and nearly 20,000 small boats sailed out from the Hedong Camp and headed straight to the other side.

Cross out.

The Ning Army was not unprepared for the sudden offensive launched by the Feng Army. Wei Zheng may not be as capable as Changsun Yuanhong, but he is also a famous general of the Ning State. After Feng Ning signed the peace treaty, he did not dare to take it lightly and continued to send out

Secret agent, monitoring Feng Guo's every move.

When the Emperor of Heaven issued an imperial edict to invite King Ning to the Fengmiansheng Palace, Wei Zheng had already judged that this was a trap. The king went and never returned.

After receiving the order from the imperial court, he began to actively prepare for war to meet unexpected needs.

The result was that he was right, but Mo Guo's sudden participation in the war was something he never expected.

Hearing that there was something strange happening in Feng Camp and that tens of thousands of ships were heading towards his camp, Wei Zheng sneered and calmly issued orders to let his warships fight.

The Sky Eagle Army has nearly 20,000 ships, while the Ning Army has only a few hundred ships, but the size difference between the two sides is huge.

Ning Jun's warships were huge, tall and long. Most of them were divided into three or four layers. Each layer had densely packed arrow openings, and the hull was also covered with iron sheets, so it was not afraid of collisions. What's more terrible was that,

The broken crossbows that Feng Jun fell into the hands of Ning Jun were copied by Wei Zheng and equipped on various warships. With such a powerful weapon, the combat effectiveness of the warships was obviously improved to another level.

The ships of both sides had just started fighting, and the scores were divided.

Ning Jun was on the big ship. He was condescending and fired a giant crossbow first. The crossbow hit the small wooden boat and instantly shattered the hull. The Feng Army soldiers on it fell into the water one after another. There were also broken crossbows on Feng Army's side, but they only hit Ning Jun's.

There was no pain or itch on the battleship. It was such a huge ship with such a huge hull. I don’t know how many crossbow arrows it would take to sink it.

The number of the Feng army was greater than that of the Ning army, and their ships were several times that of the Ning army, but their combat effectiveness was not directly proportional.

Ziying knew very well where his own shortcomings were and where the enemy's strengths were. He kept giving orders, beating drums, beating drums, and beating drums again. The whole army charged hard and must get close to the opponent. As long as his soldiers could go smoothly

Climb onto the opponent's warship and your side will win.

As the ships from both sides continued to approach, the water battle became intense.

Crossbow arrows from both sides shuttled back and forth on the river. From time to time, the boats on the Feng Army's side were hit by crossbow arrows and shattered into wooden planks. Countless soldiers fell into the water, but only a few were rescued by luck. Many people were drowned by the river.

Above, there were layers of floating corpses, screaming and cries for help.

Looking back at the Ning Army, each warship was constantly being hit by crossbow arrows, especially the warship rushing in front. The huge hull was filled with crossbow arrows. The river water continued to pour into the ship along the breach, and then was fired by the crossbow arrows.

Bucket after bucket of Ning's soldiers were poured out of the ship. From time to time, some of Ning's soldiers in the cabin were knocked away by crossbow arrows and penetrated their bodies. Their deaths were extremely miserable.

As the distance between the two sides got closer, the Ning army took the lead in firing arrows.

At this time, the advantage of the tall hull came into play again, and the condescending shots allowed the Ning army to shoot at the Feng army, but the Feng army could not shoot at the Ning army. Even if there were arrows flying to the warship, they would only be weak and difficult to damage.

People, not to mention Ning Jun is still hiding in the cabin, with the hard hull as cover.

During the battle, the power of the Ning Army's arrow formation was fully demonstrated. After one round of arrow formation, the attacked boat was overwhelmed by the eagle feathers. The inside and outside of the hull were filled with dense arrows. Even if the Feng soldiers on the boat had shields,

Even when they were taking cover, they would inevitably be hit by arrows one after another. Often, no one in the boat would be spared, and they would all be shot into hedgehogs.

Wei Zheng, who personally went out to supervise the battle, stood on the highest point of the handsome ship, looking up at the battlefield ahead with a confident smile. The Feng army wanted to use small canoes to defeat their own giant warships, but no matter how many troops they invested, they were just asking for death.

Road. This is not a battle at all, it is completely a one-sided massacre.

The fighting is still going on, and the Feng army is still making desperate suicidal charges, but the number of people killed has soared to 20,000 to 30,000.

Just when Wei Zheng felt that the overall situation was settled, suddenly, a general behind him pointed to the north and exclaimed: "General, no, there is smoke in the north!"

Wei Zheng hurriedly turned his head and looked north, right? On the west bank of the Zhang River in the north, beacon towers everywhere had been lit, and black smoke billowed straight into the sky.

It seems that the Feng army not only attacked here, but also invested troops in the north.

Not knowing whether the Feng army was feigning an attack in the north or a real attack, Wei Zheng did not dare to send out too many warships. He turned back and ordered the messenger to mobilize fifty warships to the north for reinforcements.

He had just detached fifty warships to his side, and then, the war smoke started again in the south. Wei Zheng followed suit and detached another fifty warships to reinforce the southern location under attack.

However, the Feng Army invested not one army in the south, but two armies, the Pingyuan Army and the Directly Affiliated Army.

Tang Yin commanded the direct army and forcibly crossed the river ten miles south of the Hexi camp of the Ning army. In order to show his determination to cross the river and to make the soldiers abandon their worries about life and death, Tang Yin personally led the army into the battle. Because all the ships were surrendered to the sky.

Eagle Army, Tang Yin doesn't even have small canoes here, only rafts.

The raft he was on took the lead and rushed to the front, heading straight for the other side. The monarch could risk his own life and lead the troops in this way. The soldiers below had no idea of ​​​​escaping. People all exerted their strength and rowed.

The wooden paddle followed Tang Yin's raft.

Twenty miles south of the Hexi camp, where the Feng army suffered two consecutive defeats, was the main attack site of the Pingyuan army.

The scene of the Pingyuan Army's disastrous defeat here was still vivid in Xiao Muqing's mind. This time he was determined to avenge his shame. Even if it was filled with people or piled with people, he would rush to the other side.

The Pingyuan Army has never been defeated since its establishment. The only blemish is the Zhang River. This time they fought at the same place again. All the soldiers in the army were excited. When crossing the river, most of the soldiers threw off their armor.

He went into battle shirtless, holding a shield in one hand, a paddle in the other, and a steel knife in his mouth. His bloodshot eyes almost glowed red, staring at the other side. He was driving on the river even faster than Tang Yin's direct army.

The fifty warships sent by Wei Zhengnan did not encounter the Pingyuan Army, but first encountered the direct army headed by Tang Yin.
