The decisive battle between the Feng Army and the Duji Army near Vaal Town ended with the defeat of the Duji Army. In this battle, both sides invested about 100,000 troops. However, because the Feng Army annihilated 30,000 Duji Army first, the Duji Army was defeated.
The Feng Army established its superiority in military strength early, which became the key to the Feng Army's victory.
The Battle of Val Town was a turning point in the Tia War. After this battle, most of the main force of the Duki Army was lost and their vitality was severely damaged. They had no choice but to give up the siege of Tia City and retreated northward.
, the advantage that was finally established in Tia was also lost.
On the other side, Feng Jun became famous in Tia through this battle. Liang Qi's strategizing and Shangguan Yuanrang's bravery and skill were also spread by the Tia people as miraculous. It was only at this time that people in Tia began to believe that Feng Jun was
Helping Tia sincerely is not just going through the motions or showing off.
Afterwards, the resistance forces in various parts of Tia also took the initiative to come to the Feng Army and expressed their willingness to assist the Feng Army in fighting against the Duki people. Of course, these are all things for later.
Let's talk about Remi Azabao. He led the remnants of the Duki Army of about 30,000 to escape the pursuit of the Feng Army and retreated to the north. At the same time, he sent people to the company camp outside Tia City to convey orders to the two men stationed there.
Wanduki's army retreated north together. The destination of his retreat was Tia's important northern town, the City of Sunset.
However, just as Remy Azabao's troops were retreating towards Sunset City, they happened to encounter the blocking Feng Army halfway, that is, the 20,000 Feng Army led by Guantang.
Although the number of the Feng Army is small, they are waiting there to wait for work and maintain their full combat power. Although the Du Ji Army has a large number of soldiers, they are all defeated soldiers. They have just gone through a big battle, and the soldiers are exhausted, and the army is exhausted.
There are many slanderers, and in Guantang, it is easy to defeat the opponent.
But after they took over, they discovered that that was not the case at all. Now Du Ji's army was no longer fighting for the country or the king, but for survival. People knew that they had no way out and could only fight to the death or break out.
Or they must die in the hands of the Feng army. Under this mentality, the defeated soldiers of Du Ji's army burst out with extraordinary fighting power. Even the injured soldiers rushed forward desperately. I thought that victory was within grasp, but
The Feng Army, which easily won, was caught off guard by the Du Ji Army, which was still so fierce after being defeated. Less than an hour into the battle, the Feng Army camp was dispersed, and a large number of Du Ji Army passed through the formation and broke out.
This was all thanks to Du Jijun's belief that the Fengjun would come up from behind and he didn't dare to fight. He fled in a hurry after breaking the formation, otherwise he didn't know what the outcome would be! When all the enemy troops broke through, Guantang quickly took down his own troops.
The stragglers gathered together and counted their numbers, and found that there were no less than 5,000 casualties.
Alas! Guantang sighed in his heart, he was originally here to stop and kill the enemy, but now, he was killed and injured more than 5,000 brothers by the enemy. He had no intention of chasing the enemy anymore, and led his army to retreat dejectedly, but they still didn't retreat.
Not far away, they encountered another Duki army. This Duki army was the one that retreated from the company camp outside Tia city.
When the two armies met, they started another fierce battle. The Feng army, whose morale had been suppressed for a long time, was defeated again. This time it was even worse than the previous battle, with about 10,000 casualties. It took a lot of effort to Guan Tang.
Only then did Hu Zhili lead the remaining troops to fight their way out and escape.
Ziying, who was far away in the Feng Kingdom, had already calculated that his side would definitely win in Tia, so he sent Guan Tang here to perform meritorious service. However, Guan Tang really did not dishonor his nickname. If he did not fight, he would be defeated.
, even though the main force of the Feng Army won a great victory, the 20,000-strong army was still defeated by only a few thousand, and returned in defeat.
Looking at the battle situation, he did not make any mistakes in command, but the result was still the same. Perhaps as Tang Yin said at the beginning, Guantang was not in good luck, and no matter how capable he was, he was not suitable to be the commander of an army.
No matter how miserable Guan Tang's defeat was, the Feng Army had an absolute advantage and initiative in the overall battle situation in Tia, and successfully resolved the danger of Tia City being trapped.
When the Sanshui Army arrived at Tia City, Tia King Gerald Hardesti personally led the civil and military ministers of Tia out of the city to greet them, and entertained Liang Qi and the generals of the Sanshui Army with the courtesy of a king.
Tia was very polite and respected the Feng Army to the extreme. Liang Qi was not dazzled by the victory and forgot about it. He ordered the soldiers of the Sanshui Army to be strictly prohibited from entering the city privately, and the entire army was temporarily stationed in the Duji company camp outside the city.
.
After all, this is not his own country, so Liang Qi also had to consider avoiding this problem, and stationing his own army outside the city could also reduce the contact between his own soldiers and the Tia people, and avoid unnecessary friction and conflicts between the two sides.
Tia City, which had been trapped for almost two years, is finally out of trouble. The people in the city are naturally in jubilation. No matter men, women, old or young, their faces are full of joy. If it is a festival, Tia City is no longer as it was when Shangguan Yuanrang first came.
It was lifeless, but it has returned to its former vitality and bustle.
Liang Qi ordered the Sanshui Army not to enter the city, but he did not order the Tia people to enter the military camp. Soon, a large number of Tia people came out of the city in groups and entered the company camp with 30% fear and 70% curiosity.
, visited everywhere, many thoughtful Tia people also brought accessories and specialties to sell to Fengjun.
Liang Qi no longer cares about these things. What he has to consider now is how to fight next and how to completely drive out the remnants of the Duji Army from Tia. As for the reinforcements from the Sky Eagle Army, Liang Qi did not leave any reinforcements.
, let them all return to the Feng Kingdom. He invited the Sky Eagle Army to fight in Tia without Tang Yin's approval. He did not dare to keep the Sky Eagle Army in Tia for too long, otherwise the court would really blame him, and he would not be able to bear it.
Walk around.
Before the Sky Eagle Army returned home, Liang Qi generously divided 30% of the captured loot and gave it to the Sky Eagle Army. The Sky Eagle Army also suffered casualties in this battle, and these trophies could be regarded as making up for the Sky Eagle Army's losses.
The Duji army did not take any belongings with them when they fled. The money, gold, silver and jewelry they collected in Duji, as well as the entire army's baggage, armaments, and food and wages were basically seized by the Feng army. Even 30% was an astronomical figure. Guan Tang
He refused again and again, feeling that there were too many things and he did not dare to accept them. However, Liang Qi was very insistent and finally ordered Guan Tang to accept them as a general.
The Sanshui Army was ordered to go on an expedition. If there were any losses, the court could make up for them. However, the Sky Eagle Army was sent out only after receiving his request for help. If there were losses, the court would not care about them. They could only rely on the Sky Eagle Army to internally digest them and use them to subdue the enemy.
Due to Ying's personality, Liang Qi estimated that the Skyhawk Army did not have much internal financial inventory, so he could only make up for the Skyhawk Army as much as possible through these captured trophies.
He is also paving the way for himself in the future and using others. He begs for help but does not need anyone anymore. After kicking him, if he asks for help from the Sky Eagle Army again in the future, it will be surprising if they are willing to help!
Under Liang Qi's forced order, Guantang had no choice but to accept all the trophies he sent. On the surface, he was reluctant, but he was already happy in his heart. By converting all the gold, silver and jewelry in these trophies into money, he could not only reduce the casualties in this battle
After re-recruiting the troops, there will still be a lot left!
The news of Tia's victory was immediately reported back to Yancheng.
The Fengguo court was overjoyed after receiving the good news. Tang Yin also read the good news twice, then slapped the good news on the table, looked around at the civil servants and generals below, and praised: "This battle between Liang Qi and Yuan
If Rang fought well, I will reward him and the soldiers of the Sanshui Army heavily!"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is wise!" Everyone saw that Tang Yin was in high spirits, and they all supported him.
But the Fengguo court has always had people who poured cold water on it, and Qiu Zhen was one of the best.
He stepped out of the queue, looked at the others, and finally his eyes fell on Tang Yin. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the soldiers can reward you, but Liang Qi cannot reward him."
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, looked at Qiu Zhen with dissatisfaction, and asked, "Why can't you be the only one to appreciate Liang Qi?"
Qiu Zhense said: "At the beginning, the king only assigned the Sanshui Army to go out, but Liang Qi secretly mobilized the Sky Eagle Army during the battle with Du Jijun. After further investigation, this is suspected of deceiving the emperor, so the king will not take responsibility.
How can I still reward him?"
Tang Yin also knew about Liang Qi's mobilization of the Sky Eagle Army, but in his opinion, it was nothing. He said with a smile: "Qiu Zhen, you are too serious. The general will be outside, and your life will be compromised. The battle situation is changing rapidly, Liang
Is it not impossible for Qi to mobilize his troops flexibly? Moreover, judging from the development of the war situation, Liang Qi’s decision is very correct.”
"Because of this, Liang Qicai can be regarded as making up for his mistakes. He may not be punished, but he must not be rewarded. Otherwise, once this case is made, all the generals who go to war will no longer need to listen to the king's words. Then where is the prestige of the king and the court?
"Qiu Zhen frowned and glanced at the many generals behind him when he spoke.
Before Tang Yin could say anything, all the generals were shocked. People looked at each other, and in order to avoid suspicion, they had to step out of the queue one after another, intervene and salute: "What Mr. Qiu said is absolutely true. I hope your Majesty will make a clear decision!"
"Well..." Tang Yin muttered, waved his hand a little annoyed, and said: "Okay, we will not reward the soldiers of the Sanshui Army for the time being. We will reward and punish them after they return home."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Qiu Zhen took the lead and said loudly this time.
Tang Yin stood up, looked around everyone, and asked: "Is there anything else you want to discuss? If nothing else, please go back!"
"I have something to report," Shangguan Yuanji said.
Seeing that it was Shangguan Yuanji who was speaking, Tang Yin sat back patiently and asked, "What's wrong with Yuanji?"
"Weichen received a letter from the Kingdom of Mo, saying that King Mo will visit the Kingdom of Feng in the near future, but the specific date has not been set yet."
Shao Fang is coming? Tang Yin was stunned, thought for a moment, and asked: "Does the letter mention the purpose of Shao Fang's trip?"
Shangguan Yuanji shook his head and said: "It was not mentioned in the letter."
"You're so good, what's he doing here?" Tang Yin muttered inexplicably.
"Maybe it's for Ningdi!" Qiu Zhen said: "Although the eight counties in northern Ningbo are at peace, there are still wars in the south. Changsun Yuanhong gathered an army of 200,000 and occupied two counties in the south of Ningdi. Mo's army fought several times
We went to attack, but nothing was gained. I think King Mo may have invited our country to send troops to annihilate Changsun Yuanhong and his men."
