Chapter 68 The decisive battle between the Wind Army and the Dookie Army near the town of Vaal ended in a great defeat for the Dooky Army.
In this battle, the troops invested by both sides were about 100,000, but because the wind army annihilated the 30,000 Duji army first, the wind army established an early advantage in strength, which also became the key to the victory of the wind army.
The Battle of Vaal was a turning point in the Tia War, after which the main force of the Duki army was lost in half, and its vitality was greatly damaged, so it was forced to choose to give up the siege of Tia City, and the whole army retreated to the north, and the advantages that had been established in Tia were also gone.
On the other hand, the Feng army became famous in Tia through this battle, Liang Qi's strategizing, Shangguan Yuanrang's courage and good fighting, and was also passed down by the Tia people.
It was only at this time that Tia began to believe that the Feng Army was genuinely helping Tia, not just going through the motions and pretending.
Then, the rebel forces from all over Tia also took the initiative to find the Wind Army, expressing their willingness to assist the Wind Army and fight against the Duki people, of course, these are all later words.
Let's say that Remi Azabao led the remnants of about 30,000 Duki troops to shake off the pursuit of the wind army and retreat to the north, and at the same time sent people to the company camp outside Tia City to give an order, so that the 20,000 Duki troops stationed there would retreat north.
The destination of his retreat was the northern town of Tia, the City of Sunset.
However, just as Remi Azabao was retreating to the city of sunset, he happened to encounter the intercepted wind army on the way, that is, the 20,000 wind army led by Guan Tang.
Although the number of the Feng army is small, after all, it is waiting there at ease, maintaining its full combat strength, and although the Du Ji army has many troops, they are all remnants of the defeated generals, and they have just gone through a big battle, the soldiers are exhausted, and there are many wounded in the army.
But after handing it over, I found that it was not the case at all, and now Du Jijun is no longer fighting for the country and the king, but fighting for survival, and people know very well that they have no way to retreat, they can only fight to the death, either break through the siege, or die in the hands of the wind army.
Under this mentality, the remnants of the defeated generals of the Duki army burst out with extraordinary combat effectiveness, and even the wounded soldiers desperately rushed forward to fight.
The Wind Army, which thought that the victory was in hand, could easily win, was caught off guard by the Duki Army, which was still so fierce after the defeat, and the two sides fought for less than an hour, and the Wind Army camp was scattered, and a large number of Duki troops passed through the formation and broke out.
This is also thanks to the fact that Du Jijun thought that the wind army would chase and kill from behind, and did not dare to fight, and fled in a hurry after breaking the formation, otherwise I don't know what the result would be When all the enemy troops broke through and left, Guan Tang quickly gathered his own stragglers together, and then counted the number of people, and the casualties were no less than 5,000.
Alas, Guan Tang sighed in his heart that he had come to stop the enemy, but now it was good, but he was killed and wounded by the enemy more than 5,000 brothers.
He had no intention of pursuing the enemy any further, and retreated with his army dejected, but before he had gone far, he encountered another Duki army, which was retreating from the company camp outside Tia.
The two armies met, without a word, and started a fierce battle, the Feng army, whose morale had already been suppressed, was defeated again, this time it was even worse than the battle just now, with about 10,000 casualties, Guan Tang took a lot of effort to lead the remnants to fight a bloody road and escape.
Ziying, who was far away in the country of wind, had already calculated that he would definitely be able to win in Tia, and sent Guan Tang to let him make meritorious contributions, but Guan Tang really did not insult his nickname, if he didn't fight, he would be defeated, and in the case of a big victory for the main force of the wind army, he still beat the remaining few thousand people of the 20,000 fresh army, and returned home.
Looking at the battle situation, he did not have a single command error, but the result is still the same, perhaps as Tang Yin said at the beginning, Guan Tang is unlucky, no matter how strong his ability is, he is not suitable to be the commander of the first army.
No matter how miserable Guan Tang's defeat was, the Feng army had an absolute advantage and initiative in the overall battle situation of Tia, and successfully relieved the danger of being trapped in Tia City.
When the Sanshui army arrived in Tia City, the Tia king Gerald Hadesdi personally led Tia's civil and military ministers out of the city to greet him, and entertained Liang Qi and the generals of the Sanshui Army with the gift of the king.
Tia was polite and respected the Feng army to the extreme, Liang Qi was not carried away by the victory, and he ordered that the soldiers of the Sanshui Army were strictly forbidden to enter the city without permission, and the whole army was temporarily stationed in the Duji company camp outside the city.
After all, this is not his own country, and Liang Qi also has to consider avoiding this problem, and stationing his own army outside the city can also reduce the contact between his own soldiers and the Tia people, and avoid unnecessary friction and contradictions between the two sides.
The city of Tia, which had been trapped for almost two years, was finally freed, and the people in the city were naturally jubilant, regardless of men, women, and children, all of them were full of joy.
Liang Qi ordered the Sanshui army not to enter the city, but he did not order the Tia people to enter the barracks, and soon, a large number of Tia people came out of the city in groups, with three points of fear and seven points of curiosity into the company camp, and visited everywhere, many intelligent Tia people also brought ornaments and specialties to sell to the Feng army.
Liang Qi no longer cares about this, and now he has to think about how to fight next, how to completely drive the remnants of Duki's army out of Tia.
As for the reinforcements from the Sky Eagle Army, Liang Qi did not stay, let them all return to the Wind Country, he invited the Sky Eagle Army to fight in Tia without Tang Yin's approval, and he did not dare to leave the Sky Eagle Army in Tia for too long, otherwise the court would really blame him, and he would not be able to eat and walk around.
Before the Eagle Army returned to China, Liang Qi generously divided the captured booty into 30% and gave it to the Sky Eagle Army, and the Sky Eagle Army also suffered casualties in this battle, and these trophies were regarded as making up for the losses of the Sky Eagle Army.
When Du Ji's army fled, he didn't bring any belongings, and the money, gold, silver, and jewelry they collected from Du Ji, as well as the baggage, armaments, and food of the whole army, were basically captured by the Feng army, even if it was thirty percent, it was an astronomical amount, Guan Tang repeatedly refused, feeling that there were too many things, and he didn't dare to accept it, but Liang Qi insisted very much, and finally ordered Guan Tang to accept it as a general.
The Sanshui Army was ordered to go out, and if there was a loss, the imperial court could make up for it, and the Sky Eagle Army was sent out after receiving his request for help, and if there was a loss, the court would not care about it, and could only rely on the internal digestion of the Sky Eagle Army, with Ziying's personality, Liang Qi estimated that the internal treasury of the Sky Eagle Army was not much money, and he could only make up for the Sky Eagle Army as much as possible through these captured trophies.
He is also paving the way for himself in the future, he will use others, he will ask for a thousand things, no one will need them, after kicking him, if he has something to ask for help from the Eagle Army in the future, it will be strange that people are willing to help Under Liang Qi's forcible order, Guan Tang had no choice but to accept all the loot he sent, on the surface he was reluctant to do so, but his heart was already happy, and he exchanged all the gold, silver and jewelry in these trophies for money, which could not only re-recruit the troops killed and injured in this battle, but also have a lot of leftovers The good news of Tia's victory was also transmitted back to Yancheng as soon as possible.
The court of the Wind Country was overjoyed when he received the good news, and Tang Yin also read the good news twice, and then slapped the good news on the table, looked around at the Wenchen generals below, and praised: "Liang Qi and Yuan Rang fought beautifully in this battle, and I have to reward him and the soldiers of the Sanshui Army."
"King Yingming" Everyone saw that Tang Yin was on the rise, and they all gave up their hands.
But there has never been a shortage of people pouring cold water on the court of the Wind Country, and Qiu Zhen is one of the best.
He stepped out of the ranks, looked at the others, and finally his eyes fell on Tang Yin, and he arched his hand and said, "King, the soldiers can be rewarded, but Liang Qi can't be rewarded." ” Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, looked at Qiu Zhen dissatisfiedly, and asked, "Why can't you only reward Liang Qi?"
Qiu Zhense said: "At the beginning, the king only assigned the Sanshui Army to go to the battle, but Liang Qi privately mobilized the Sky Eagle Army in the battle with the Du Ji army, and investigated it deeply, this is suspected of bullying the king, and the king is not responsible, how can he still reward him" Tang Yin also knew about Liang Qi's transfer of the Sky Eagle Army, but in his opinion, it was nothing.
He smiled and said, "Qiu Zhen, you are too serious. will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected.
The battle situation is changing rapidly, Liang Qi flexibly deploys troops, not to mention, judging from the development of the war situation, Liang Qi's decision is very correct. ” "Because of this, Liang Qi can be regarded as making up for his merits, and he can not be punished, but he must not be rewarded, otherwise, as soon as this example is opened, the generals who will go out on the expedition in the future will not have to listen to the words of the king, and where is the prestige of the king and the court" Qiu Zhen frowned, and when he spoke, his eyes deliberately glanced at the many generals behind him.
Without waiting for Tang Yin to speak, all the generals were shocked, people looked at each other, in order to avoid suspicion, they had to come out one after another, intervened and said: "What Qiu Xiang said is extremely true, and I hope that the king will make a clear decision" "En" Tang Yin groaned, waved his hand a little annoyed, and said: "Okay, for the soldiers of the Sanshui Army, there will be no rewards for the time being, and after returning to China, we will reward and punish them." ” "King Yingming," this time Qiu Zhen took the lead and said loudly.
Tang Yin stood up, looked around at everyone, and asked, "Is there anything else to discuss, so let's go back?"
"The minister has something to do."
Shangguan Yuanji opened his mouth and said.
Seeing that it was Shangguan Yuanji who spoke, Tang Yin sat back patiently and asked, "What's the matter with Yuanji?"
"Wechen received a letter from Mo Guo, saying that King Mo will visit Fengguo in the near future, but the specific date has not yet been set."
Shao Fang was about to come Tang Yin was stunned, thought for a moment, and asked, "Is there any mention of the purpose of Shao Fang's trip in the letter?"

Shangguan Yuanji shook his head and said, "It was not mentioned in the letter. ” "Good guy, what is he doing," Tang Yin muttered inexplicably.
"It may be a matter of Ningdi" Qiu Zhen said: "Although the eight counties of Ningbei have been peaceful, but there is still war in the south, Changsun Yuanhong gathered 200,000 troops and occupied two counties in the south of Ningdi. ”:
