Chapter 377 The strength of the Mozambican army became smaller and smaller, from the initial 100,000 people, to 80,000, and from 80,000 to 60,000, and by noon, the strength of the Mozambican army was less than 50,000.
Until this time, Zhang Yan, the commander of the Mo army, did not think of how to restrain the heavy cavalry of the Wind Country.
It is useless to cramle on the battlefield, and it would be a fantasy to think of a way to crack it without having done a meticulous and systematic study of the hoplites in advance, and only relying on the improvisation on the battlefield to think of a solution.
Seeing that his own army was about to be annihilated, and none of the 100,000 soldiers would survive, Zhang Yan finally bit his teeth and his heart was crossed, and he gave the order to go down, raise the white flag, and surrender to the Feng army.
As the commander of an army, surrendering is naturally a great shame, but he can't gamble with the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers under his command for his own honor and disgrace.
He has already lost this battle, and if he continues to fight, it will only increase casualties.
Now Qi Heng is hitting Xing's head, and suddenly saw that the Mo army raised the white flag and gave up resistance, even if he was unwilling, he could only order the whole army to suspend the attack and accept the surrender of the Mo army.
At the end of the battle, the casualties of the two armies were very heavy, and the casualties on the side of the Feng army were mainly concentrated in the direct army, close to 20,000 people.
Although the result of this battle was a complete victory for the Feng army, Hu Xia was not happy.
If the Ninth Army had not participated in the war, relying only on the 50,000 directly subordinate troops led by him, it would definitely not be this result in the end, and I am afraid that the entire army, including himself, would have to die at the hands of the Mo army.
Before this battle, Hu Xia was still complacent and arrogant, but after this battle, Hu Xia's confidence was greatly hit, and he also realized that although his spiritual martial arts were strong, his ability to lead troops to fight was still far behind The victory of the Feng Army in this battle was certainly due to the contribution of the Ninth Army, but the greatest credit belonged to the group of Wind Army that had previously mixed into the Mo army camp.
This group of wind troops played a vital role at a critical moment, resulting in the 100,000 Mo troops who came out of the camp to counterattack were locked outside the camp, unable to retreat, unable to escape, and finally the entire army was annihilated.
Even Tang Yin, who had a lot of complaints about Xiao Muqing, had to admire his foresight after listening to the battle report, and it was too unexpected to bury such a strange army within the Mo army in advance.
When discussing the reward for meritorious deeds, Tang Yin first rewarded these Feng soldiers who disguised themselves as Mo Jun, rewarded their main generals with a thousand taels of gold, and gave them the title of viscount, rewarded the soldiers below them with one hundred taels of silver each, and recorded a great merit, and then Tang Yin rewarded Qi Heng, Xiao Muqing and Hu Xia respectively.
When everyone was rewarded, they were naturally full of joy and smiles, only Hu Xia was depressed, feeling that he was really ashamed of the king's reward, after all, he was not only useless in this battle, but also at fault, it was because of his improper command that he almost buried 50,000 soldiers of the army directly under him.
Of course, Tang Yin also saw that he was uncomfortable, but he didn't say much, no one is born to fight, no matter how good a general is, he is also honed by actual combat, this time let Hu Xia learn a lesson and dispel his arrogance, maybe it is also a good thing.
After the reward for meritorious deeds, Tang Yin asked Zhang Yan, the chief general of the Mo army, to be escorted up.
Throughout this battle, Zhang Yan's command did not have any proper place, but he was unlucky, ran into the Ninth Army, and was betrayed by the Neiying Institute that he had planted in the Mo camp.
If possible, Tang Yin also hopes to take such talents for his own use.
Seeing Zhang Yan being tied up in the military tent of the five flowers, Tang Yin deliberately showed displeasure, frowned, pointed to the guards left and right, and shouted: "General Zhang can be regarded as the king's honored guest, quickly untie General Zhang."
"No need" Zhang Yan is a person who has seen the world, as soon as Tang Yin opened his mouth, he guessed what he was thinking in his heart.
He stood below, raised his head, straightened his waist, and said in a shocking voice: "The surrender of the wind army under the command is not greedy for life and fear of death, but I can't bear to watch the brothers under my command die in vain."
If His Royal Highness the Wind King is really a hero, he will be happy in the next one, and he will also be grateful for the great kindness of the Wind King under the Nine Springs."
Yo, this is a tough guy The generals on both sides of the big tent nodded secretly, although Zhang Yan is not a famous general in Mozambique, but he is still very good at commanding troops to fight, and his loyalty to Mozambique is also admirable.
Without waiting for Tang Yin to speak, Qi Heng had already laughed out loud, he stepped forward, stood still in front of Zhang Yan, and said with a smile: "General Zhang, as the saying goes, those who know the times are Junjie Shao Fang is mediocre, brutal and unkind, and those who follow him will not end well in the end."
Qi Mou saw this, so he turned to the wind country early, obeyed the orders under the king's account, and now he has become the commander of an army, I think with General Zhang's ability, it will not be worse than Qi, now the opportunity is in front of him, General Zhang must not miss it, why not follow Qi Mou, and serve the king of my family together" Zhang Yan had never seen Qi Heng, and when he heard him claiming to be Qi and from Mozambique, he had already guessed his identity.
After listening to his words, Zhang Yan laughed on his back, and laughed for a while before he stopped laughing, spat at Qi Heng, and sneered: "You traitorous husband and traitor, you dare to speak out in front of the general, you are also worthy of the general, even if you are broken into thousands of pieces and put into the oil pot, you are ashamed to be in the company of you and other villains."
His angry scolding was not merciless at all, and Qi Heng scolded his face so red and white that the surrounding wind generals from the Wind Country were secretly laughing in their hearts, and at the same time, they were secretly praising Zhang Yan for scolding happily.
Qi Heng is not a wind man, but he is in charge of the Ninth Legion, which has the strongest combat power in the Wind Country, how can he not be hated by others, especially those wind generals from the Wind Country, who wish that Qi Heng would fall as soon as possible.
He looked down at the spit on the armor on his chest, his eyebrows erected, and his eyes turned red from congestion.
In the wind country, no one dared to humiliate him like this, but Zhang Yan dared to do this to him, how could he bear it Without warning, he waved his hand violently, pulled out the saber at his waist, and the blade of the sword went straight to Zhang Yan's throat, his face was full of hideousness, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Give you face, you don't have a face, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will split you now" Zhang Yan simply closed his eyes, looking completely relieved to die, at this time, Tang Yin after the handsome case groaned.
Qi Heng's body was shocked, he hurriedly put down his sword, turned around and said to Tang Yin: "King, this thief humiliates the last general, just like humiliating the king, it is extremely hateful, and he is innocent of death, and I hope that the king will order to immediately behead this thief."
Tang Yin only had a little bit of love for Zhang Yan, and it was far from the extent that he had to be him, and seeing Zhang Yan's resolute attitude, he decided to give up.
He asked for the last time: "General Zhang, you really insist on refusing to lower my gale" "That's right, I was born as a Mo person in the next life, and death was also for the Mo ghost to repay the kindness of the king of my family with the death of the next ghost, and I would die without regrets, and I hope that the king of the wind will be fulfilled."
Zhang Yan still closed his eyes and said loudly.
"Look, your lord, this thief is obsessed and can't stay."
Qi Heng hated Zhang Yan so much, and he added oil and vinegar to the side.
Tang Yin nodded, and said helplessly: "Since General Zhang is so loyal to the Mo country, this king is not easy to be strong."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Qi Heng, and said leisurely: "Qi Heng, General Zhang will be handed over to you to deal with, after all, you are both Mo people, and it is up to you whether you let General Zhang go or stay." ” His words seem to be very generous on the surface, but in fact, they are equivalent to pronouncing Zhang Yan's death sentence.
Qi Heng's heart has always been small, and he has a small belly, Zhang Yan insulted him in public just now, how could he give Zhang Yan a way to live, if the latter can die happily in his hands, it will be a good death.
Really.
After listening to Tang Yin's words, Qi Heng was overjoyed, he first glanced back at Zhang Yan with a smile, and then bowed to Tang Yin and said, "Thank you to the king."
The fourth camp that was heavily defended by the Mo army was finally captured by the Feng army, including its main general Zhang Yan, with an army of 100,000 and the whole army was annihilated, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Mo army in Panling, and the strength of the army was sharply reduced from more than 300,000 to more than 200,000 at once.
However, through this battle, Tang Yin also saw that the Mo army camp in Panling was indeed not easy to fight, this time because of his own internal help, he won easily, but there was no more internal response of his own side in the enemy camp behind, and if he wanted to attack it, his own losses would inevitably be not small.
He summoned the generals and asked if there were any other roads to bypass the ridge.

Xiao Muqing and Zuo Shuang both shook their heads again and again, and said: "In Zeping County, if you want to cross Panling, there is only one way, if you want to bypass Panling, you have to go to Surabaya or Tianyang County, and these two counties are under the control of the Mo army. ” After Tang Yin heard this, his heart was half cold, it seemed that it was impossible to choose to bypass Panling now.
He muttered thoughtfully: "Since we can't get around, we have to fight hard, but what is the way to let our army eliminate the Mo army in Panling without paying heavy losses?"
"There is only one way" Xiao Muqing continued: "The king ordered the Hundred Battles Army to retreat and attack Panling, and then our army will attack Panling on both sides, so that the Mo army will be difficult to finish, and it will be easy to win."
Tang Yin's eyes lit up, this is a good way to think about it, he frowned again, and said: "With Panling as a barrier, how can my orders be conveyed to the Hundred Battle Army?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ai Jia stepped forward, and she said confidently: "Don't worry, the king, this matter will be left to the last general." ” "You can do it," Tang Yin raised his brow in disbelief.
Ai Jia smiled and said: "The king still remembers the new group of subordinates who were recruited by the last general, they not only know how to train eagles, but they are also from the hunters, they are good at climbing mountains and mountains, not taking official roads, avoiding the Mo army camp, and passing through the mountains and mountains, it is not difficult for them. ”:
