C708
The result was as Tang Yin had expected, the dozen or so ships he had arranged made Wei Zheng feel extremely disgusted.
More importantly, this part of the water was relatively shallow. The 20 odd large warships had sunk to the bottom of the river, the ships behind were affected by the impact, and more or less, the bottom of the boats were all injured by the impact. After Wei Zheng's fleet forcefully passed through, before they were able to get far, another 10 odd warships sank due to the severe damage to the bottom of the river.
In the end, Wei Zheng had already fled and the Feng Army occupation ended. In this war, Feng Army was the victor, but the casualties were much more severe than that of the Ning Army, with the largest loss being Heavenly Eagle Army. The number of casualties was already over half, followed by Directly Subordinate Army, Sanshui Army, and the entire army had lost over one hundred and fifty thousand.
Although they had won, it was still a tragic victory. Fortunately, the backup troops were sufficient and the 150,000 casualties had yet to reach the point where they would suffer a major loss of vitality.
Tang Yin was sent by the Pingyuan Army generals into the Ning Army Camp.
Along the way, the most people he saw were corpses and wounded people.
There was nothing to say. The soldiers who died in the Feng Army had to be transported back to their hometowns, and while the corpses were being tidied up, there were piles upon piles of corpses, and the soldiers who were carrying the corpses could no longer shed a tear and had become numb. Just looking at the dense, densely packed Army Brand s that hung on the wooden shelves in front of the corpses, they were all extremely shocking.
It was not hard to imagine the brutality and hardship of a battle, even if one did not need to personally come to the battlefield to witness the aftermath of a battle.
He looked at the Pingyuan Army behind him and saw that they were all covered with blood. Even Xiao Muqing who was not a martial artist, had his armor torn, and was covered with dents left behind by sharp weapons.
Tang Yin faintly said: "Muqing, this battle... It's been hard on you. "
This simple sentence almost made Xiao Muqing cry. He cupped his hands and said, "This general dares not speak of hard work. However, my brothers in the audience are risking their lives and fighting with all they have. That is the real hard work."
Tang Yin stopped in his tracks, turned around and patted his shoulder with force, then said: "Tens of thousands of strong offense, over two hundred thousand, break out of the camp, and in the entire world, only the Pingyuan Army of General Muqing is able to do this."
Xiao Muqing faced him squarely and clasped his hands in front of him again, saying, "Thank you for your praise, Great King."
Tang Yin let out a long sigh, and said: "This battle is magnificent, as expected of my Windy's 1st Legion." Finished speaking, he continued to walk towards the inner part of the base.
As the saying goes, once a person becomes famous, his bones will wither. To be able to become a famous general of a generation and receive the approval and praise of the monarch, he had to use countless amounts of blood and life force.
Seeing that the King had walked over, the warriors who were resting on both sides all stood up. Most of them had bandages on their bodies, and were eagerly looking at Tang Yin.
Seeing that, Tang Yin stopped and waved to the rest, saying: "Brothers, sit down and rest!"
"Great King!" Everyone started to intervene and pay their respects to Tang Yin.
Tang Yin's heart warmed, he did not say much, but gave a deep bow to the soldiers on his left and right.
Seeing the King bowing to these common soldiers, everyone was shocked. They all kneeled down and said in unison, "Your Majesty ?"
Tang Yin did not stay any longer, and headed towards the inner camp with Xiao Muqing and the rest.
The arrangement of the camp surprised Tang Yin. With the base as a base, the arrangement was very ingenious. He asked Xiao Muqing who was beside him: "Muqing, why are Ning Army Camp bound in such a way?"
Xiao Muqing smiled indifferently, and said: "Great King, do not underestimate the arrangement of the Peace Camp. The inner camp connected to the dock, and if our army were to attack from the front and break through the Zhang River, we would have to land from there, and after landing, we would be trapped inside the camp, and at that time, the Ning army would have to climb onto the walls of the stronghold, looking down at us from above, making it hard for our army to break through. "The inner camp of the Ning Army has both offense and defense. Our army attacks from the land. The inner camp is the last line of defense for the Ning Army. If you attack from the water, the inner camp will be the first line of defense for the Ning Army."
"So that's how it is!" Tang Yin nodded in realization and laughed: "What an ingenious idea. "This camp, should be ?"
"It came from Zhangsun Yuanhong." Xiao Muqing continued.
"Oh!" Tang Yin muttered: "Zhangsun Yuanhong, this man is truly intelligent and brave, he is truly powerful!"
"Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to conduct himself. His personality is too arrogant and out of place with the Ning Country." Xiao Muqing shrugged his shoulders and said: "If he had not been transferred back to Liangzhou, he should be the one guarding Peace Camp.
After pausing for a moment, Xiao Muqing continued, "Great King, our army should be resting here, and it will not be easy to advance westward in a short period of time."
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, leered at him, and asked: "Reason?"
Xiao Muqing said in a serious tone: "Our army has suffered quite a few casualties this time, so it is necessary for us to rest. Second, our army is close to the Mo Army, so the King should let the Mo Army penetrate deeply into it first to put pressure on the Liangzhou. In this way, even if Zhangsun Yuanhong is sent outside, he will first go to deal with the Mo Army, and not our army."
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked with a gloomy tone: "What? Are you afraid of Zhangsun Yuanhong? "0
Xiao Muqing cupped his hands together and said: "This general is not afraid of him, but instead hopes to compete with him on the battlefield. Furthermore, the King's ambition is not merely limited to Ning Country. In this Ning war, the more forces there are left, the more it will be of assistance to the King in the future. "
Tang Yin looked at him deeply, and did not speak for a long time. What Xiao Muqing had said was not unreasonable, and in the national war, he should not act on impulse and use the lives of the warriors below as a joke. The two nations of Chuan Country And Zhen Country were vigilant, and could bring in troops at any time. If the amount of manpower consumed this time was too much, once a dangerous situation arose, how would he be able to deal with it?
Thinking about that, Tang Yin's brows relaxed, he laughed, and said: "Who said that Muqing is not good at scheming? "Your suggestion is not bad. We will follow your wishes, and rest for five days in the west of the river." While saying that, he turned his head and called out: "Le Tian, Ai Jia!"
"Your subordinate is here!" Le Tian and Ai Jia anxiously stepped forward and interfered with the greeting.
Tang Yin's eyes turned, and said: "Immediately send a message to Shao Fang, tell him the progress of this battle. Also, tell him the details of the casualties of our army, the more detailed the better."
Le Tian and Ai Jia frowned, Feng Mo was an alliance, after the battle, he had explained the situation to the other side, although they had won, the victory was not beautiful, the number of casualties were far greater than the defeated Ning Jun, such a disgraceful matter, why was the King still trying to make a name for herself?
Seeing the two of them were confused, Tang Yin laughed and said: "Shao Fang is arrogant, but stubborn. Since our army has won in such a miserable way, he will definitely mock us and speed up his attacks. If he wants to break through Liangzhou first, we can just throw him an encouragement. "
Le Tian and Ai Jia looked at each other and laughed. They cupped their hands and said: "Yes! This subordinate will send a pigeon to the Mo Army side right now. "
Although they said that they were resting, the entire army still did not stay idle. Following Qiu Zhen's suggestion, Feng Army went to war everywhere, attacking the various cities in the counties of Hexi County in order to gain control of their territory.
Hexi County had three counties, eight cities. Three of the cities were located along the coast of Zhang River, and these three cities were also the main source of origin of Ning Country warships.
Tang Yin really scared the water war, and understood the importance of water war. The first people he sent his troops to attack were the three cities.
The Main Force of Ning Army followed Wei Zheng and fled. The entire Hexi County Army was already empty, and had no way to defend against the attacks of the Feng Army. Most of the resistance in the cities came from the citizens. It might be alright for such a temporarily formed militia to deal with bandits, but to go against the regular army of a country, that was no doubt something that would happen every day.
Feng Army took down three cities without much effort, and had adopted a gentle policy towards the citizens' organization, executing only a few leaders. As for the commoners below, they left the matter at that. Tang Yin's sudden benevolence was not because of his magnanimity, he needed these three cities to build a warship for Feng Country.
After taking down the three cities along the river, Feng Army advanced inland and took the other five cities. Tang Yin was not polite at all with these five cities, he sent out orders to all who resisted, killing everyone, even the strongest ones, to slaughter everyone in the city.
The Feng Army strictly followed Tang Yin's orders.
When they had attacked the first city, they had met with strong resistance from the people of the city. The defenders on the city walls were completely composed of the people of the city. After the city had been destroyed, Feng Army from the east, west, south and north of the city gates poured in at the same time, carrying out a massacre of the citizens within the city.
In this massacre, from dawn to dusk, from darkness to dawn, over two hundred thousand people were killed in the city. Only a few lucky survivors survived. After the massacre, it was a crazy robbery. The current Feng Army was like a red-eyed bandit, snatching anything he saw, moving all the valuable things in the city away. Before leaving, he burned both the town and the corpses of the citizens.
The barbaric and cruel nature of the Feng Army served as a deterrent to a certain extent, and the following four town s that attacked had very little resistance.
In addition, the military discipline in Feng Army was relatively loose, especially in the case of burning, killing, looting, and everywhere else. In these few days, the one who reaped the most rewards and obtained the most spoils of war was precisely Directly Subordinate Army.
When Qiu Zhen submitted the account of his spoils of war to Tang Yin, Tang Yin was still laughing loudly.
, Liang Qi and the other two laughed bitterly to themselves, Pingyuan Army, Sanshui Army, were like tigers stealing from their families, while Directly Subordinate Army were like tigers stealing from tigers and tigers, they did not care if the other party was a civilian or a rich person, and it was also because Directly Subordinate Army was lawless, that caused the reputation of Feng Army to go up to the extreme, making people fear them like tigers and leopards, and they all went to the west to seek refuge.
