Chapter 566 Xiao Muqing and Ziying are both militants under Tang Yin, and they are also the commanders of the same army, but the two are not the same person after all, and they are very different in many concepts.
Xiao Muqing is the commander after all, he strongly advocates killing the tens of thousands of troops of Ning State, Wu Guang and Jiang Fan are not good to say anything, although Wuying feels that this is too brutal, but it is not good to argue with Xiao Muqing about this matter, and in the end, she did not continue to express her position in a silent way.
As the commander-in-chief, Xiao Muqing's words decided the life and death of tens of thousands of Ning Army prisoners.
The Feng army divided the Ning army prisoners, who had lost the ability to resist, into more than 100 groups and buried them alive in the armadillo swamp.
The swamp is full of silt, the soil is moist and loose, it is too easy to dig a big deep pit, poor tens of thousands of Ning soldiers, no one was spared, all were killed in the armadillo swamp, and those Ning soldiers who had died in battle were also buried on the spot.
Under the armadillo swamp, the corpses of the Ning army were piled up, and almost none of the 100,000 soldiers of the Ning army survived.
The scale of this battle is not enough, and the total strength of the two warring sides together is less than 250,000, but the result has caused a lot of damage to the current Ningguo, and now the Ningguo's military resources are insufficient, and most of the troops in the army are newly enlisted, and the death of 100,000 veteran soldiers and soldiers has virtually greatly reduced the overall military strength and morale of Ningguo.
When the news of the fiasco of the Battle of the Armadillo returned to the capital of Ningguo, the court of Ning was in an uproar, and all the original optimism disappeared in an instant.
Although there were some losses in the attack on Hedong by the Wind Country, the battle was still unusually smooth on the whole, which was caused by many factors.
First, because of the containment of the Duki city-state, it first attracted the main force of the Ning army to the north, resulting in untimely reinforcements to Hedong, and second, the dispatch of troops from the Wind Country was too sudden, and the Ning State was unprepared and was caught off guard by the Wind Country.
Several generals who followed Tang Yin on the expedition, Shangguan Yuanrang, Wu Guang, Jiang Fan, and Zhan Hu all had the courage to be invincible, and the four of them were in the army, even if they didn't have to go to the battlefield, they could improve the morale of the whole army by a big margin, and Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, and Ziying's abilities could not be measured by specific numbers.
What's more, it is Ning Guo, who has just lost 400,000 elites and has not yet recovered Now what Ning Guo is thinking about is no longer the question of whether he can regain the lost territory in Hedong, but whether he can stop the continued westward invasion of the tiger and wolf of the Wind Country.
As Fengcheng and Xiaoxia were successively captured by the Feng army, the Plains Army led by Xiao Muqing and the Sanshui Army led by Liang Qi began to march westward and assemble towards Qingyuan, the center of the east of the river.
More than 300,000 morale-like wind troops gathered in Hedong County, the other two cities in the west, Nanhai and Jianxing, immediately became precarious, and the emergency documents of the city lords of the two cities continued to return to Ningdu Liangzhou like a marquee, just when Yan Chu was anxious like ants on a hot pot, 500,000 Ningguo reinforcements led by Wei Zheng and Ming Xiaotian finally arrived in Hedong.
Wei Zheng did not place the 500,000 Ningguo army in the South China Sea, nor in Jianxing, but stationed it in the middle of the two cities, putting on a posture of fighting to the death with the Feng army in the front.
With such a large number of Ning troops standing in the way between the South China Sea and Jianxing, it is impossible for the Feng army to penetrate between the two cities, let alone take a strong attack on the two cities, once the siege is launched, the flank of the Feng army will be attacked by 500,000 Ning troops.
Tang Yin, who got the news, immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss how to deal with the enemy.
Now Tang Yin has appointed Wang Kai as the head of the county, in order to show that he is not pretending, he gave the county capital to Wang Kai, and he lived in a military camp with poor conditions.
At this time, the sand table had already been arranged in the big tent, and the terrain of the South China Sea and Jianxing area was simulated clearly, and not even a small hill bag was missing.
Tang Yin looked around at the surrounding generals, grabbed a large handful of clay sculptures of white soldiers, slapped them between the South China Sea and Jianxing, and said: "At present, the 500,000 troops of Ningguo are stationed here, all the generals should talk about it, how our army should break the enemy."
"Hmph" Xiao Muqing smiled and said: "Look at the posture, Ning Jun wants to have a head-to-head confrontation with our army, so our army will accompany him to fight." ” Ziying shook her head, and Zhengse said: "It's not proper, even if our soldiers are good at frontal combat, but the enemy is outnumbered, even if we can defeat the other party, I'm afraid our army's losses are not small."
Liang Qi frowned and said: "How can there be a reason for immortals to fight a war, if we are afraid of large-scale casualties, our army should not have chosen to send troops to Hedong in the first place."
Xiao Muqing nodded his head, and at the same time gave a sigh of gratitude, indicating that what Liang Qi said made sense, and he continued: "According to the intelligence, although there are 500,000 people in Ningguo, there are not many soldiers who really have combat effectiveness, and most of them are recruits in Ningguo.
"However, what if our army and the Ning army are at war, the two cities of Nanhai and Jianxing in the north and south suddenly send troops to attack the two wings of our army" Tang Yin suddenly asked, and at the same time, he picked up two white clay sculptures and placed them on both sides of his black clay sculptures.
"This" was asked by Tang Yin, Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi and Ziying really couldn't answer.
The eyes of the three of them looked at Lotte and Aijia next to the sand table.
Ai Jia said: "According to the reports of his subordinates, the troops of Nanhai and Jianxing are only more than 10,000 people. ” Lotte nodded, indicating that the situation detected by the eye of the sky was the same as that of the ground net.
Xiao Muqing shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "The two cities only have more than 20,000 troops, if you really dare to sneak attack the two wings of our army, it is tantamount to asking for a dead end, when our army and the Ning army are fighting, we only need to send 5,000 soldiers to each wing, ambush in the dark, once the soldiers of Ning Guocheng really come to sneak attack, let it have no return, and at the same time counterattack back, threaten the South China Sea and Jianxing City, and disturb the military spirit of the Ning army." ” "Oh" After hearing Xiao Muqing's words, Tang Yin responded thoughtfully, and after a moment of silence, he nodded, looked at everyone, and asked, "I think Mu Qing's suggestion is feasible, what do you mean?"
If you want to confront the 500,000 Ning army head-on, it is impossible to divide too many troops to take care of the two wings, and 10,000 soldiers is already the limit.
Liang Qi said: "The last general thinks that General Xiao's strategy is feasible. ” Tang Yin nodded with a smile, and asked Ziying again: "General Ziying, what do you mean?"
Going head-to-head with the 500,000 Ning army, this battle is not impossible to fight, Ziying just feels that such a big loss is too big for his side, but now looking at the meaning of the king, he also agrees to confront the Ning army head-on, Ziying sighed secretly, no longer refutes, and said: "The last general will obey the king's order" "Very good" Tang Yin stroked his palm and said: "Our army will rest in Qingyuan for a while, and then continue to march westward, and we must annihilate this Ningguo army in one fell swoop."
After a pause, the terrifying light in his eyes slowly swept over everyone's faces, and he said slowly in a deep tone: "If we can do this, we can make Ning Guo's vitality greatly damaged, Hedong will become my permanent territory of Gale, Ningguo will be difficult to recover its prosperity in twenty or thirty years, and the west of my Gale can also ensure peace and quiet for twenty or thirty years, if we unfortunately lose this battle, then all the efforts we have made in Hedong will be burned, and I Gale will be bullied by Ning Guo in the next two or thirty years.
Squeezing, the importance of this battle, it is self-evident, I hope that all generals can be like me, with the determination to serve the country with a death, fight side by side with me on the battlefield, and work together to create my great cause of great wind, eternal meritorious service" Hearing this, everyone's blood was shocked, and their hearts were excited and moved.
As a monarch, it is already a very rare thing for Tang Yin to be able to go to the battlefield in person, and even he has the determination to serve the country with death, how can the generals below not be inspired by him At this time, everyone really felt that being able to have a monarch like Tang Yin and assist such a monarch was a blessing that could not be cultivated in several lifetimes, although he also had these shortcomings and faults, but his various shortcomings and deficiencies were insignificant in front of his advantages.
People's eyes were flushed, and they all knelt down on one knee in unison, clenched their fists, and struck back the chest armor hard, making a crisp sound, and everyone shouted: "The last general swears to follow the king to the death, shattering his body and bones, smearing his liver and brains, and he will not give up" The generals knelt on the ground, and even the guards at the gate of the big tent were all moved to kneel, and when they looked up, the inside and outside of the camp fell to their knees.
Tang Yin looked at everyone, the original gloomy expression disappeared, replaced by a rich and bright smile that marked his surname, he waved his hand to everyone, and said: "Everyone get up, the determination to fight to the death is not used here, but on the battlefield." ” Seeing Tang Yin's reassuring smile again, all the generals felt that the battle pressure that could only win and not lose was the greatest, and the generals could feel the weight of the burden on their shoulders, and Tang Yin, as a monarch, was even more conceivable, he was going to bear the rise and fall of the entire country, it was hard to imagine how much courage he had to take on such a heavy pressure every day during this time, however, he was still smiling, and he didn't feel the slightest tension in his body.
Looking at Tang Yin's smile at this time, no one will feel relieved, only sad.
Tang Yin held the table with both hands, leaned forward, his eyes fell directly on the sand table, and muttered: "Men are born for battle, and only in battle can the value of men be reflected" As he spoke, he raised his head and smiled at everyone: "I still say the same thing, the Wind Country is very poor, I am also poor, I can't give you countless gold, silver and jewelry, all the wealth can only be created and plundered by our own hands."
You see, fighting is a lot of fun, and there's nothing more exciting in this world than taking someone else's wealth, taking someone else's woman, and watching someone fall to their knees trembling and crying":
