C1474

Up till this point, even the battle-hardened Xue Rong felt chills down his spine. Although he had not done a detailed count of the casualties, simply by looking at the battle group leaders in front of him asking for help one after another, he could tell that their casualties were extremely high.

The sky had already turned dark, and even if Xue Rong was unwilling, he was unable to continue fighting. He secretly sighed, the Feng Army was indeed extraordinary, and was different from any of the opponents he had faced before.

In the tactics and ideas of the Chuan Army, there was simply no concept of a force of three times as strong as the enemy trying to force their way into the city and pull out the stronghold. Because the large-scale siege weapons of the Chuan Army were simply too powerful, soldiers would often attack the defending army, causing heavy casualties and the defensive line to collapse before they could advance in formation.

However, against this battle of Feng Army, although Chuan Army's large siege weapon still played a crucial role, it did not have a decisive effect. Even the aura of the Feng Army had not been suppressed.

Xue Rong secretly shook his head, he turned and asked He Rushui and Jin Zhuo who were beside him: "Can my army attack the camp at night?"

Even a fool would be able to tell that he wanted to retreat if he were to ask this question. It was just that it would be difficult for him to do so. He Rushui and Jin Zhuo did not think that they should continue fighting now either. Hearing Xue Rong's question, the two of them happened to listen to him, "General, fighting in the night is disadvantageous to our army.

Xue Rong nodded his head, he then turned and asked a yellow faced General of Chuan Country: "General Tan, what do you think?"

This lifeless, sickly faced General of Chuan Country was called Tan Hui and sshe looked to be only around forty years old, only having the title of Company Leader, but her identity was not simple. This Regiment Leader was the leader of the Blood Camp, and he knew Cheng Jin very well.

Blood Camp was one of the members of Chuan Army, but it accepted's direct command, so Chief General like Xue Rong did not care about Blood Camp at all. On the contrary, since Blood Camp was one of the people by King Chuan's side, Xue Rong would often ask for Tan Hui's opinion, so as to prevent him from sneaking up in front of the King to make a fool of himself.

Hearing Xue Rong's question, Tan Hui did not even make a sound, nor did he turn his eyes towards him, completely ignoring him.

Xue Rong had long since gotten used to his rude attitude, smiled indifferently and said: "Since General Tan has no objections, then our army will temporarily withdraw!" With that, he turned to the soldier behind him and said, "Beep the gold, withdraw the troops!"

Following Xue Rong's order, the sound of gongs continuously rang from the Chuan Army camp. When the Generals And Soldiers of Chuan Army fighting in front heard the golden cry, they all stopped their attacks, arranged their battle formations, and retreated backwards in an orderly manner.

The retreat of the Chuan Army was extremely orderly, with Shield Array as the back, and archers as cover, they would not give the enemy any time to pursue and kill them. Of course, the Feng Army right now didn't intend to chase after them. Seeing the Chuan Army retreating, the Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army who were previously lively and energetic on the battlefield felt as if they had been drained of all their energy. One by one, they sat on the ground motionlessly, with only the strength to breathe heavily in and out.

Whether it was in terms of Feng Army or other aspects, this was a fierce battle that they did not want to experience again. Soon, both sides finished counting the casualties.

As the attacking party, the number of casualties of Chuan Army was around fifty thousand, and the number of defending parties had also exceeded forty thousand. The casualties of both sides could be said to be on par with each other, and no one was able to gain an obvious advantage.

Following that, the two sides started to clean up the battlefield, while Feng Army took this chance to repair the broken walls one by one. At this time, Chuan Army's corpses were on the battlefield, waving a white flag as they ran all the way to Feng Army Camp's front, gathering the corpses of the dead soldiers.

At this point, the soldiers of both sides could get along peacefully even if they were in close proximity. The Chuan Army soldiers outside silently took the corpses and loaded them onto the carriage. If they saw Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army's body outside the camp, they would also carry it back to the Feng Army through the cracks in the walls of the camp.

No matter how tragic the slaughter on the battlefield was, the deaths of heroic men and women should not be exposed. Both sides had a tacit understanding of their respect for the dead.

Both sides had a lot of people collecting the corpses, but the whole scene was silent. Looking at the bodies and blood on the ground, everyone was numb. They were mechanically moving the bodies.

Within the Wind Camp's Central Army Tent. With Tang Yin as the leader, all the General of Feng Country were present, some of them even had bandages wrapped around their bodies. After a fierce battle, their side had lost more than ten thousand people, and the casualties were over twenty thousand. Their losses were not small, and the following battles would only become more and more arduous.

The crowd's mood was heavy, and the atmosphere in the tent was also very depressing. Tang Yin looked at Liang Qi and, and asked: "You two, do you think that our army can withstand Chuan Army?"

Liang Qi and Zi Ying's face became serious, and said: "Great King, our army should be preparing our defenses inside the camp, and when the Chuan Army breaks through the walls of our camp, our soldiers will have something to rely on!"

"In the end, you two still believe that our army should defend the stronghold to the death!"

"Yes, my king, as long as our soldiers act in unison, they will be able to defeat the enemy's attack." Liang Qi and Zi Ying said at the same time.

"But the two of you better not forget, today's attack is only based on Chuan Army, there are still two hundred thousand Huan Army that have yet to go up!" Tang Yin said faintly.

Liang Qi asked: "Then, in your opinion, what about it?"

Tang Yin said: "Give up the camp and move out. Then, use this battle to fight against the two armies and delay the enemy."

Liang Qi and Zi Ying nodded their heads, and said: "The King's opinion is indeed a good idea, but, that is the last resort that our army can't defend, now that our Allied Army of Chuan Country And Huan Country is unable to attack our army's main camp, our army can guard it with our lives."

Tang Yin muttered to himself for a moment: "Staying in the camp is not a good idea, if only ? How about our army ambushed Enemy's Camp tonight? "

After pausing for a moment, he continued, "In today's battle, our army suffered heavy losses. Chuan Army will definitely not predict that our army would dare to take the initiative to camp, we will definitely be careless ?"

Without waiting for Tang Yin to finish speaking, Zi Ying's head shook violently like a rattle drum, and said anxiously: "If it was against ordinary enemies, the strategy of camping might still be effective, but the commander of the Chuan Army is the veteran general Xue Rong, he has gone through hundreds of battles and is skilled in planning, so he will definitely defend against our army's strategy of camping."2

Tang Yin squinted his eyes, and retorted: "Could it be that other than defending our camp at death's door, our army does not have any other good plan?"

Zi Ying laughed and said: "Our good plan is to wait, and wait for the Jade and An armies to capture An Yang and the Fengyang. As long as we successfully capture these two town, we can threaten Huaiyang directly, and at that time, it will no longer be us who are worried, but the two armies. The safety of the logistics and supply routes will affect the lives of the entire army.

Tang Yin's brows knitted together into a knot, and said: "Then we'll have to wait for a few more days!"

"That's why our army has to go all out these few days and defend the army to the death. Only if we can't do so can we use the King's tactic and take the initiative to retreat. We can use our army's speed and Chuan Army to fight a sports battle!" Liang Qi continued.

Seeing that Liang Qi and Zi Ying had already made their plans, Tang Yin did not argue anymore. He took a deep breath and said: "Alright! It's better to do as you two say! "

"The King is wise!" Liang Qi and Zi Ying cupped their hands and greeted him. Tang Yin laughed bitterly, then waved his hand in annoyance and said, "If there is nothing else, everyone can go back and rest!"

After the generals left the Central Army Tent, Tang Yin sat there without moving. He was very clear in his heart. Even though his side had barely managed to hold on to the Chuan Army today, the Chuan Army would not rest just like that. They would still launch a huge attack tomorrow, and their offensive would be even fiercer than today.

After sitting inside the Central Army Tent for a good while, Tang Yin finally stood up, dragged his exhausted body, and headed back to his own tent.

Just as he entered his own tent, he saw Yin Rou and Ling Shuang approaching him. Seeing the two of them, Tang Yin's tiredness was gone and he revealed a smile and asked: "It's so late, why haven't you two gone to sleep yet?"

Ling Shuang did not answer right away. Instead, she frowned and asked: "Yin, I heard that the battle today was very difficult?"

"It's hard, but it can't be said to be hard. The enemy's offense is quite fierce." Afraid that she would be worried, Tang Yin pretended to be relaxed as he casually said those words.

Seeing that Yin Rou wanted to continue to ask, Tang Yin laughed: If the enemy troops are really hard to deal with, then why would I let Rou Er continue to stay in the camp and send people to send you out.

Hearing him say that, Yin Rou felt more or less at ease. She pulled at Tang Yin's sleeves and said with concern, "Chuan Army is not comparable to other countries' armies, you have to be more careful!"

Tang Yin patted Yin Rou's small hands with a smile and said softly: "I know, Rou Er doesn't need to worry about me." With that, he looked at Ling Shuang and said: "Little sister Wang, send the princess back to her bed to rest!"

Yin Rou still did not want to leave, she wanted to stay and accompany Tang Yin for a while longer. However, Ling Shuang understood the reason, and said to Yin Rou: "Royal Brother has already worked hard for a whole day, there might be more battles tomorrow, let Royal Brother rest early!"

After hearing this, Yin Rou reluctantly followed Ling Shuang out of the tent.

After the two of them left, Tang Yin laid face down on the bed. He felt that every bone and muscle in his body was sore and sore, he had almost never rested today, and had been battling fiercely with the Chuan Army all this while.

However, he was stopped by Liang Qi and Zi Ying. Coincidentally, Xue Rong who was facing him had also thought of this tactic, and had even quietly used it.
