A battle between the Feng and An armies in the northern border of Mo State ended with a great victory for the Feng army. In this battle, the An army suffered a disastrous defeat. The 200,000-strong army suffered more than 50,000 casualties, but they were captured.
However, there were 100,000 people, and the remaining people were all scattered. Li De, the commander of the An army, luckily escaped from the siege, with only about a thousand people left by his side.
With this defeat of the An army, they lost not only their strength, but more importantly, their confidence in fighting the Feng army was wiped out. After this battle, the An army was as afraid of the Feng army as tigers and leopards, and fled after hearing the wind.
, and An Jun also has a nickname among the Feng Army - Peacock. He looks very beautiful, and he can spread his wings from time to time to scare people, but in fact, he is defeated in one blow without being hit at all.
The Feng army of more than 70,000 people could defeat the An army of 200,000 people, and his own damage was only more than 10,000 people. No one could have predicted this result.
After the battle, Li De gathered his own stragglers, and the remaining troops were defeated. Finally, he managed to gather 40,000 to 50,000 people. For fear that the Feng army would pursue them again, he led his troops to retreat directly to the mainland of Anguo.
Anguo actually had a lot of troops, no less than one million, and the loss of more than 100,000 people did not hurt his vitality. However, the bravery and skill of the Feng army gave Anguo great shock and fear, and he no longer dared to send troops easily.
After that, Anguo basically withdrew from the Fengfeng Alliance and only provided moral supplies to Sichuan and Zhen two countries.
The reason why Anguo did not continue to send troops was firstly because it was afraid of the Fengjun's combat power. Secondly, the main factor was that the Pingyuan Army released 100,000 captured Anjun.
Xiao Muqing did not think much about how to deal with these 100,000 Anguo prisoners, nor did he apply to Tang Yin, but decided to release them all on his own initiative.
Fengguo and Anguo have no grudges, let alone hatred. If they directly execute so many prisoners, it would be morally unacceptable and would leave Fengjun with a reputation of cruelty and cruelty. But if they were imprisoned, 100,000 people would have to eat every day.
How much money would it cost to have someone to guard the country? Moreover, this battle was too easy to fight, and it was too easy to capture Anguo's 100,000 people. It would not be a pity to let them go.
Xiao Muqing thought about it for a moment and thought that it would be easier to return them all and it would also reflect his generosity and generosity.
Feng Jun did not kill any of An Guo's prisoners, but only surrendered their weapons and armor, and then returned them all to An Guo. Feng Jun treated his captured soldiers so well, and An Guo had the nerve to continue sending troops to conquer. With this disastrous defeat,
, just stopped and no longer responded to the calls of Sichuan and Zhen countries to send troops to Feng, but in order not to offend Sichuan and Zhen countries, Anguo offered to provide them with supplies such as grain, grass, ordnance free of charge.
The battle on the Pingyuan Army side went smoothly, but the battle on the Sanshui Army side was relatively difficult.
Although the Huan army did not have famous generals, its combat capability was not bad, at least it had rich experience in actual combat.
The Huan Kingdom is located in the central and southern part of the Haotian Empire. Like the Zhen Kingdom that borders it to the south, it is often invaded by Western barbarian states. The advantage of the Huan Kingdom over the Zhen Kingdom is that it has a large population and rich resources, and can resist the invasion of foreign enemies.
He is also able to do things with ease, and will not be like the Zhen Kingdom where all the people are in arms.
Huan and Zhen are close neighbors, and they also face threats from Western countries. Therefore, the relationship between the two countries is very delicate. They must often cooperate and join forces to fight against the enemy. At the same time, there are territorial disputes and small-scale border frictions.
The wars and battles continued until Zhen and Sichuan formed an alliance, and the disputes between Huan and Zhen were greatly reduced, and Huan's policy towards Zhen became mainly concessional.
Liang Qi did not underestimate the fighting power of the Huan Army. He also took great pains to use the Sanshui Army with a strength of 100,000 to counter the Huan Army with a strength of 200,000.
Liang Qi did not directly approach the enemy and engage in a tit-for-tat battle like Xiao Muqing did. Instead, he followed Huan Jun from behind and divided the army's 10,000 cavalry into several small groups to harass the enemy day and night, making Huan Jun unable to do so.
peaceful.
Of course, the Huan Army also had intelligence reports. They had long known that a large Feng Army was following their side. Xu Qing, the commander-in-chief of the Huan Army, also took the initiative to turn around and attack, but the Feng Army did not fight at all and huddled in the temporary camp to defend.
Although the Huan Army had a large number of troops, it was not easy to break through the Feng Army's camp. After several rounds of attacks, not only did they fail to enter, but they also suffered a lot of casualties. In the end, Xu Qing had no choice but to withdraw his troops, no longer pay attention to the Feng Army, and continued to attack.
Go away peacefully.
He didn't want to ignore Feng Jun, but Feng Jun wouldn't let go.
As soon as Huan Jun left, Feng Jun immediately broke up camp and continued to follow them from a distance. What troubled Huan Jun the most was the opponent's harassment tactics. Small groups of wind cavalry attacked almost non-stop at twelve o'clock a day.
, they ran away after the fight. The terrible thing was that they were riding Mo's war horses, which were so fast that Huan's army couldn't catch up even if they wanted to.
By the time the Huan Army was provoked and turned back to attack the main force of the Feng Army, the latter had already set up camp and was ready, making the Huan Army's attack fruitless.
After several days of this, the Huan army was harassed to a great extent, and the officers and men were extremely tired and complained. The generals in the army asked Xu Qing to fight to the death with the Feng army behind them.
Xu Qing also wanted to fight Feng Jun, but Feng Jun didn't give him a chance to fight head-on.
Feng Jun's spy report is hidden somewhere, and the information is extremely well-informed. As long as there is a slight disturbance on Huan Jun's side, Feng Jun will be able to get the news for the first time.
When the Huan Army turned back to attack the Feng Army several times before, they had just set off, and the Feng Army behind them began to set up camp and deploy their horses. When they approached the Feng Army, their camp was just completed, and as soon as the attack started,
He was immediately hit by the head-on arrows of the Feng army and could not attack at all.
Xu Qing rejected all the generals' requests for military service. At this time, a Huan general named Xue Pei gave Xu Qing a bad idea.
Xue Pei asked him to leave 50,000 soldiers behind and set up camp to stop the Feng army, while the rest of the soldiers continued northward and entered Ning. His reasoning was simple. Since the Feng army of about 100,000 people could block his own army of 200,000 people with their camps, then our own army would
The 50,000 soldiers can also block the opponent's 100,000 soldiers with their camps.
Xue Pei's reasoning sounds reasonable and reasonable, but in fact it cannot stand up to careful scrutiny.
The combat power of each army is different. The Sanshui Army can rely on strong camps to withstand 100,000 and 200,000, but it does not mean that other armies can also do this. The military book says that it is three times as strong as the enemy.
The city can be destroyed, but in reality there may be many external factors that are not recorded in military books.
Xu Qing was not sure whether he could resist the enemy by leaving 50,000 soldiers behind. While he was hesitating, other generals expressed that Xue Pei's idea was a good idea.
The enemy's pursuit and harassment tactics were also broken, and our own army no longer had to live in peace day and night.
Xu Qing might still have concerns about two people saying this, but since all the generals said this, he couldn't help but object anymore.
The idea came from Xue Pei. Xu Qing originally planned to keep Xue Pei and let him lead 50,000 soldiers to stay and garrison at the same place.
Are you going to face off against hundreds of thousands of soldiers here?
Since Xue Pei disagreed, Xu Qing did not force him and instead sent Qian Yi to General Tang to stop the Feng army.
The military orders were like mountains. Xu Qing gave the order, and the 150,000 Huan army left, leaving 50,000 soldiers to garrison in place, and built camps, set up earthen walls, ditches, horse barriers, traps, etc., to make a long-term relationship with the Feng army.
The posture of fighting.
The spies of Tianyan and Diwang reported Huan Jun's every move truthfully to the Sanshui Army. After Liang Qi heard this, he looked up and laughed. What he wanted was for Huan Jun to divide his troops. In this way, he would give his own side the opportunity to defeat them.
Chance.
With Qian Yi, the 50,000 Huan Army led by General Xiang Tang had just finished setting up the camp. The Tianyan and Diwang spies hidden nearby sent back the sketch of the layout of the camp to the Sanshui Army, and even where the enemy had laid traps.
Those with rejected horses and gaps are clearly marked.
After receiving the layout plan of the enemy camp, Liang Qi did not hesitate for a moment and immediately sent an order for the entire army to attack.
This attack was just a feint, its purpose was to paralyze Huan's army.
The morale of the Huan army, which had just built the camp, was at a high level. When they saw the Feng army coming, everyone's eyes lit up with excitement. The archers all climbed up the wall of the camp and kept firing arrows at the Feng army outside.
There were less than 10,000 archers among the 50,000-strong Huan Army, but the 100,000-strong Sanshui Army was repulsed by them.
Seeing the Feng army fleeing in defeat and leaving behind their armor, weapons, military flags, and baggage all over the ground, Qian Yi and General Xiang Tang were overjoyed. They even pretended to go out to chase the Feng army for a while. They did not catch up with the Feng army, but looked out for the enemy.
All the armor, weapons and other items abandoned by the army were brought back to the camp.
In the past few days, Huan's army had only suffered losses from Feng's army, but this time they suddenly won a great victory. Qian Yi and Xiang Tang Le couldn't close their mouths.
The two men immediately sent a battle report to Xu Qing. In the battle report, the two men exaggerated to the point of exaggeration, saying that they had killed more than 10,000 people in the Feng Army and captured countless supplies. In fact, how many people in the Feng Army had been shot?
Kill, how can they see clearly?
A great victory was won during the day, and at night, fifty thousand Huan troops slept peacefully in the camp.
Huan Jun had not had a good night's sleep these days. Both the generals and the soldiers were exhausted to the extreme. Now that Feng Jun had just suffered a big loss, people expected that Feng Jun would not dare to attack again at night. The whole camp was negligent in taking precautions.
Even the soldiers on guard duty kept dozing off and couldn't cheer up.
The Huan Army rested boldly, but the Sanshui Army was actively preparing for war.
The temporary Chinese army tent was lined with candlesticks, making the tent as bright as day. The commander of the Sanshui Army, Liang Qi, the deputy commander Bai Yong, as well as Shangguan Yuanrang, Ye Tang, Gao Yu and other generals were all there.
There was no time to set up a sand table in the temporary camp, so it was replaced with stones, mounds of earth and other objects on the ground in the center.
All the generals stood around, and everyone's eyes fell on Liang Qi, just waiting for him to give the order to attack.
At this time, Liang Qi was smiling, holding his chin, and was deep in thought, thinking about how to fight this battle in order to completely annihilate the enemy and minimize his own losses.
