Chapter 742 The Sky Eagle Army and the New Army were ordered to go out and attack Xiaoling County again.
At the beginning of the battle, the two armies were like bamboos, and without much resistance, they fought all the way to the bottom of Daiyun City.
The people of Daiyun City had already run out, and only the defenders of Ningguo were left inside, and the two sides launched a fierce battle.
The battle lasted for more than an hour, and the 20,000 defenders in the city finally could not resist it and abandoned the city and fled west.
The Sky Eagle Army and the New Army naturally did not give up, and then pursued and killed.
However, when chasing and killing, Ziying passed on the general order, once in an ambush, do not fall in love, the rear team of the whole army becomes the front team, and retreat immediately.
Guan Tang was very puzzled by his order, and asked: "General Ziying, do you think that the enemy army is deliberately deceitful and leads our army to the ambush place" After speaking, without waiting for Ziying to answer, he shook his head again and said: "If it is a deception, the camp should not be dispersed, and the banner should not be chaotic, but the enemy army" The 20,000 Ning troops who abandoned the city and fled had become a mess of porridge, and when they fled, armor, weapons, and flags were thrown all over the ground, and the soldiers pushed and crowded people, and there were not a few casualties who trampled on each other alone, and anyone with a little combat experience could see that this was by no means a deceitful defeat, but a real defeat.
Ziying smiled and said, "The enemy army is indeed really defeated, but that doesn't mean that it must not be Lin Han's plan to lure the enemy. ” "How do you say this" Guan Tang asked puzzledly, and Han Zhan, who was following Ziying, also looked at him directly.
Ziying didn't answer directly, but asked, "How many Ning soldiers are there in Xiaoling County?"
"Well, it's reported, about sixty or seventy thousand."
"Yes, there are only 60,000 or 70,000 troops in the whole county, and the Ning army in Daiyun City has 20,000 people, with Lin Han's mind, how could he throw so many troops in a lonely city and ignore it and sit back and watch it perish?
Ziying analyzed with a smile.
"However, the 20,000 Ning army in Daiyun City is indeed not like a fraud."
Ziying rolled her eyes and said: "I have just said that the Ning army is indeed not a deception, but a real defeat, Lin Han's plan is likely to keep these 20,000 Ning troops in the dark, the purpose is to make the defeat of the Ning army more real, so as to lead our army to chase and kill."
It can be seen from the defeat of Xiao Ling last time that Lin Han is good at making trade-offs and knows how to sacrifice a small part to win the maximum victory, and the 20,000 Ning army is just a victim he used to lure our army into the bait. ” "Ah, I see" Guan Tang suddenly realized, and finally understood what Ziying meant, pondering his words carefully, Guan Tang couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and praised: "General Ziying's clever and strategic, he really deserves to be the first wise general in my Feng Army."
Ziying shook her head and smiled, and said, "I don't dare to take the title of the first wise general."
None of the commanders of the Plains Army, the Sanshui Army, and the Chifeng Army were given for nothing, Xiao Muqing had a strong style, was good at fighting tough battles, was invincible, and attacked everything, Liang Qi was known as a ghost, and he was mysterious and unpredictable.
In the talented army, Ziying is walking on thin ice, conscientious, and does not dare to have the slightest thought.
Hearing his words, Han Zhan couldn't help but say, "Uncle Ziying is too modest. ” Ziying glanced at him sideways and said with a smile: "After fighting with the Plains Army, the Sanshui Army, and the Chifeng Army in the future, you will know whether what I said today is modest."
Remember, there is no such thing as the best commander in this world, nor is there the perfect battle, and the best commander and the best battle are always present in the next battle. ” Han Zhan didn't seem to understand Ziying's words, but he kept them firmly in mind.
The next battle was almost exactly the same as Ziying's speculation, when chasing the Ning army to a place where there were dense forests on the left and right, the sentinels in the forest on both sides sounded, and for a while, arrows rained down in the woods, so at the same time, countless Ning soldiers and Ning generals rushed out.
Because they had been reminded by Ziying in advance, the Sky Eagle Army and the New Army had already taken precautions, and at this time they encountered an enemy ambush, and the whole army did not show the slightest panic, and immediately changed the rear team to the front team, and retreated back the same way.
The two sides did not fight at all, and even before they came into contact with each other, the Feng army withdrew, but in the process of retreating, in order to speed up the speed and get rid of the pursuit of the Ning army, Ziying gave the order to go down, and the baggage of the whole army was discarded, and he fled lightly.
The escape of the Feng army not only returned the newly captured Daiyun City to the Ning army, but also fled from the hinterland of Xiaoling County back to Hexi.
Along the way, the wind army abandoned countless baggage, armor, and weapons, but the real casualties were not much, such a result was exactly what Ziying wanted, baggage, grain and grass, and materials can be supplied and plundered, but once a person dies, he can never get it back, and talent is the most valuable wealth in the war.
Tang Yin was also very satisfied with this battle, and rewarded Ziying and Guan Tang heavily.
On the other side, Lin Han passed the battle report of defeating the Feng Army again to Liangzhou.
In this battle, the Ning army did not kill or injure many Feng troops, but there were too many captured materials, grain and grass, and it took 300 carts to load.
The battle report that reached Liangzhou was inevitably exaggerated, and when the war report arrived in Liangzhou, it had to be exaggerated by the ministers, and when it reached Yan Chu's hands, the battle report became Lin Han's rebuilt Sky Eagle Army again, killing and wounding tens of thousands of enemy soldiers, and seizing countless materials.
This battle report made it rare for the overcast Ningguo court to see a glimmer of light, and there was also a rare laughter and laughter of the ministers in the court.
Yan Chu carefully read the battle report three times in a row, and then looked up to the sky and sighed, his face was happy, and he praised it three times in a row.
Lin Han was able to defeat the Sky Eagle Army led by Ziying again, Yan Chu was very surprised by this, and couldn't help but be impressed by Lin Han's use of troops.
Seeing Yan Chu's great joy, Zhang Zhihong, the right minister, lost no time in standing up again, and arched his hand and said: "King, Lord Lin defeated the Feng Army twice in a row, so that the Wind Army lost countless soldiers, greatly boosted the morale of our army, and destroyed the prestige of the wind thieves. ” "Well, that makes sense."
Yan Chu, who was in a happy mood, nodded his head, and then put pen to paper, without thinking about it, and wrote down an edict for reward.
Feng Linhan is the marquis of heaven and rewarding a thousand taels of gold.
The name of Tiantonghou is taken from the star of Tiantong, which is a lucky star, symbolizing the elimination of disasters and disasters.
Yan Chu named Lin Han as the Marquis of Tiantong, which means that he can help Ningguo resolve the crisis and overcome difficulties.
It can be seen that now Yan Chu is full of confidence in Lin Han, Zhang Zhihong took the opportunity to admonish, and said: "King, there is Lord Lin in the east to guard Xiaoling County, which is impregnable, and it is difficult for the Feng army to cross the thunder pond by half a step. ” At the mention of the war in the south, the joy on Yan Chu's face suddenly disappeared, and it was replaced by a heavy melancholy.
He asked, "Right Minister, what do you think?"
Zhang Zhihong rolled his eyes and said: "Weichen has the courage to admonish, please ask the king to drive in person."
Unexpectedly that he would make such a suggestion, Yan Chu frowned slightly, and before he could speak, the surrounding ministers had already stood up to oppose it.
"The war in the south is chaotic, and it is too dangerous for the king to drive the expedition in person."
"How can the king's golden body come to the battlefield in person" "Although the south is in danger, it is not so critical as to let the king conquer it."
The ministers said everything, but they all had the same meaning, and they did not agree with Zhang Zhihong's proposal.
Yan Chu himself was not very willing to go out in person, he did not think that his visit to the south in person would change the situation in the south much, after all, he was not a military genius, and he had no experience in commanding troops to fight, so whether he went or not was basically the same.

However, the eldest grandson Yuanhong was moved in his heart, and felt that what Zhang Zhihong said was not unreasonable, although the king would not be able to command the army, but after all, he was the king, and the king came to the south in person, which was equivalent to an oath to advance and retreat with the southern soldiers, and live and die together.
Just when everyone was talking about it, accusing Zhang Zhihong of not letting the king personally get into danger, the eldest grandson Yuanhong intervened and said: "The king, the minister thinks that what the right minister said is reasonable, as long as the king can come to the southern battlefield in person, the morale of our army can be restored."
Before Changsun Yuanhong finished speaking, Yan Chu's face sank first, everyone was against his own conquest, how could Changsun Yuanhong agree with him What did he mean to be so eager to leave the capital, what did he have in mind He stared at the eldest grandson Yuanhong's open and closed mouth, and didn't listen to his words at all, and the hand on his lap slowly clenched into a fist. syllable The eldest grandson Yuanhong was speaking energetically, Yan Chu had already slapped the table, leaned forward, and reprimanded angrily: "Don't say it anymore, this king will not go anywhere, he will only sit in the capital."
This king is the dignified king of a country, so he naturally has to put the overall situation first, if he leaves the capital, who will preside over the government and who will handle the affairs of the country, will the whole country not be in chaos."
What he said is not wrong, but in extraordinary times, it needs to be dealt with very much, and even if you leave the capital, you can also deal with the government in the south.
The eldest grandson Yuanhong disagreed with Yan Chu's statement, but felt that Yan Chu was greedy for life and afraid of death, and did not dare to come to the battlefield in person He still wanted to speak, but the ministers around him had already stood up to stop him, and it could be seen that the king was angry, and if he went against him at this time, he wouldn't know what kind of trouble would happen Zhang Zhihong, the culprit, secretly said that the opportunity had come, and he said with a straight face: "The war in the south is actually not serious enough to the extent that the king must go out in person, if the king sends General Yuanhong to go, with the might and strategy of General Yuanhong, he will be able to turn the tide and protect my south."
This time, when he heard the proposal to send Changsun Yuanhong to the south, Yan Chu didn't even think about it, and he didn't ask what Changsun Yuanhong meant, and said bluntly: "If you are on the right side, the general Changsun Yuanhong will set off and go to Jiashang County, lead the soldiers of my Ning army, and fight to the death with the two thieves of Feng Mo":
