Chapter 586 At this point in the fierce battle, even Xue Rong, who had experienced a hundred battles, had already felt a chill down his spine, although he had not yet made detailed statistics on the battle damage, just looking at the commanders of the front combat corps who asked for help one after another, it could be judged that his own casualties were very huge.
The sky was already dark, even if Xue Rong was unwilling, he couldn't insist on fighting at this time, he sighed secretly, the Feng Army was really extraordinary, different from any opponent he had encountered in the past, only 200,000 people, but he just withstood the strong attack of his own 400,000 army, it was really powerful In the tactics and concepts of the Sichuan army, there is no concept that the enemy can forcibly attack the city three times as much, because the large siege weapons of the Sichuan army are too powerful, and often the soldiers have not advanced in formation, and the defenders have suffered heavy casualties and collapsed the defense line just by using siege weapons.
However, this time against the Wind Army, although the Sichuan Army's large-scale siege weapons still played a vital role, they did not have a decisive effect, and even the momentum of the Wind Army was not suppressed.
Xue Rong shook his head secretly, he turned his head and asked He Rushui and Jin Zhuo beside him: "Can our army attack the camp overnight?"
When he asked, a fool could hear that he wanted to withdraw from the army now, but he couldn't speak.
He Rushui and Jin Zhuo didn't think that their side should continue to fight now, and when they heard Xue Rong ask, the two of them just followed his words and said: "General, fighting at night is not good for our army, the soldiers need to rest after a day of fierce fighting, our army might as well withdraw its troops for the time being and wait until tomorrow to fight again."
Xue Rong nodded his head, turned his head to the other side, and asked a sallow-faced and expressionless Sichuan general, "General Qin, what do you mean?"
This lifeless, sickly-looking Sichuan general is named Qin Hui, who looks like he is in his early forties, just the title of corps commander, but his identity is not simple, he is the corps commander of the Blood Guard Battalion, and he has an acquaintance with Cheng Jin of the Wind Country, and he is a third-level official, even the general Xue Rong is polite to him.
The Blood Guard Battalion is one of the members of the Sichuan Army, but it is under the direct command of Xiao Xuan, the King of Sichuan, and Xue Rong, the general, can't control the head of the Blood Guard Battalion, on the contrary, because the Blood Guard Battalion is the person next to the King of Sichuan, Xue Rong has to often consult Qin Hui's opinion, so that he won't secretly run to the king to accuse him of his misfortune in the future.
Hearing Xue Rong's question, Qin Hui didn't even say a word, and his eyes didn't roll to him, completely ignoring him.
Xue Rong had long been accustomed to his rude attitude, smiled indifferently, and said: "Since General Qin is not against it, then our army will withdraw the troops for the time being" As he spoke, he said to the herald behind him: "Ming Jin, collect the troops" With Xue Rong's order, the gongs in the Sichuan army camp sounded continuously, and the soldiers of the Sichuan army who were fighting in the front heard the sound of Jin Ming, and they stopped attacking one after another, lined up in battle formations, and retreated back in an orderly manner.
The retreat of the Sichuan army was orderly, that is, there was a shield array as the rear of the palace and archers as cover, which would not leave room for the enemy to take the opportunity to pursue and kill.
Of course, at this time, the Feng Army had no intention of chasing them at all, seeing the retreat of the Sichuan Army, the soldiers of the Wind Army, who were still alive on the battlefield just now, seemed to be drained of their strength for a moment, and sat on the ground one after another, motionless, leaving only the strength to snort and pan for breath.
The day's fierce fighting had finally come to an end, and it was a fierce battle that they didn't want to go through again, both for the Feng army and the Sichuan army.
Soon, both sides finished their battle damage statistics.
As the attacking side, the casualties of the Sichuan army were about 50,000, and the casualties of the Feng army on the defending side also exceeded 40,000.
Next, the two sides began to clean up the battlefield, and the Feng army also took this opportunity to repair the broken walls one by one.
At this time, the corpse collection team of the Sichuan army went into battle, waving a white flag, and ran all the way to the front of the Feng army camp, collecting the corpses of the fallen soldiers of the Sichuan army.
Until then, the soldiers of both sides were able to live in peace even if they were close to each other.
The wind soldiers followed the breach in the wall, and carried out the corpses of the Sichuan soldiers who died in their own camp one after another, and the Sichuan soldiers outside silently took the corpses and loaded them into the car.
No matter how fierce the fighting of the two sides on the battlefield is, the dead are the greatest, and the bodies of the dead martyrs should not be exposed.
Inside and outside the camp, there were many corpse collection teams on both sides, but the whole scene was silent, looking at the corpses and blood all over the ground, all the people were numb, just doing the action of carrying the corpses mechanically.
Inside the military tent in the wind camp.
The wind generals led by Tang Yin were all there, and some of them were still wrapped in bandages.
After a fierce battle, more than 10,000 people were killed and more than 20,000 were wounded, and the losses were not small.
The mood was heavy, and the atmosphere inside the tent seemed very depressing.
Tang Yin looked at Liang Qi and Ziying and asked, "Two, do you two still think that our army can withstand the Sichuan army?"
Liang Qi and Ziying's faces were straight, and they said: "King, our army should be deployed in the camp now, and when the Sichuan army breaks through the wall of our camp again, the soldiers of our army can have a support."
"Speaking of which, you two still think that our army should defend the camp to the death" "Yes, my lord, as long as the officers and men of our army are united, we will be able to thwart the enemy's offensive."
Liang Qi and Ziying said in unison.
"But don't forget, you two don't forget, it's only the Sichuan army that attacked today, and there are still 200,000 Huan troops who haven't gone into battle," Tang Yin said quietly.
Liang Qi asked, "What about the king's opinion?"
Tang Yin said: "Give up the camp, go out and exit, and then use the movement war to deal with the Sichuan and Huan armies to drag the enemy." ” Liang Qi and Ziying nodded again and again, and said: "The king's opinion is indeed a good way, but that is the final strategy for our army to really not be able to hold the camp, and now the Sichuan-Huan coalition army is not able to capture our army's camp, and our army should be able to defend it to the death." ” Tang Yin pondered for a moment and muttered: "Defending the camp is not a good strategy after all, what if our army sneaks into the enemy camp tonight?"
After a pause, he continued: "In today's battle, our army suffered heavy losses, and the Sichuan army would not have expected that our army would dare to take the initiative to steal the camp, and it would inevitably neglect to take precautions."
Before Tang Yin finished speaking, Ziying's head shook like a rattle, and he said urgently: "If you deal with ordinary enemies, the tactics of stealing camps may still be effective, but the commander of the Sichuan army is the veteran general Xue Rong, who has experienced a hundred battles and is good at scheming, so he will not fail to guard against our army's tactics of stealing camps." ” Tang Yin narrowed his eyes and asked rhetorically: "Could it be that our army has no other good strategy now than to defend the camp?"
Ziying smiled and said: "Our army's good strategy is to wait, wait for the Yu and An armies to capture Anyang and Fengyang, as long as the Yu Army and the An army successfully capture these two cities, they can directly threaten Huaiyang, and then it is no longer us who are in a hurry, but the second army of Sichuan Huan, the safety of the logistics supply route is related to the life and death of the soldiers of the whole army, the second army of Sichuan Huan will never sit idly by, and will inevitably divide troops to rescue, and then it will be a good opportunity for our army to counterattack." ” Tang Yin's brows furrowed into a pimple, and he said, "Then it will take a few days."
"Therefore, in the past few days, our army has to do its best to defend the camp, if it is really unable to hold it, we can adopt the strategy of the king, take the initiative to retreat, and use the speed of our army to fight a sports war with the Sichuan army," Liang Qi continued.
Seeing that Liang Qi and Ziying had already made plans, Tang Yin stopped arguing, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, let's do what you two want."
"King Yingming" Liang Qi and Ziying both bowed their hands, Tang Yin smiled bitterly, waved his hand upsetly, and said to the generals: "If there is nothing else, everyone go back to rest."
All the generals retired and left the Chinese military tent, and Tang Yin sat there without moving.
He is like a mirror in his heart, although he has barely resisted the Sichuan army today, but the Sichuan army will never give up, and will still come to attack tomorrow, and even the intensity of the attack is even more fierce than today, and he has no bottom in his heart about how many soldiers under his command can survive in the end.
After sitting in the Chinese military tent for a while, Tang Yin stood up, dragged his tired body, and walked towards his sleeping tent.
As soon as he entered his bedroom, he saw Yin Rou and Lingshuang both coming over, seeing the two of them, the tiredness on Tang Yin's face was swept away, and he smiled and asked, "It's so late, why haven't you two gone to rest yet?"
Lingshuang didn't answer immediately, and Yin Rou said with a sad brow: "Yin, I heard that today's battle was very hard."
"It's not hard to talk about, it's true that the enemy's offensive is quite ferocious."

Afraid that she would be worried, Tang Yin's tone pretended to be relaxed, and he said it lightly.
Seeing that Yin Rou still wanted to ask, Tang Yin smiled and said: "If the enemy army is really difficult to deal with, how can I let Rou'er continue to stay in the camp, and send someone to send you out of the camp earlier." ” Hearing him say this, Yin Rou was somewhat relieved, she pulled Tang Yin's sleeve, and said with concern: "The Sichuan army is not as good as the armies of other countries, you have to be more careful."
Tang Yin patted Yin Rou's little hand with a smile, and said softly: "I know, Rou'er doesn't have to worry about me.
As he spoke, he looked at Lingshuang again and said, "Sister Wang will send the princess back to the sleeping tent to rest."
Yin Rou didn't want to leave yet, and wanted to stay with Tang Yin for a while, but Lingshuang understood the situation, and said to Yin Rou: "Brother Wang has worked hard for a day, and there may be a war tomorrow, so let Brother Wang rest early."
Hearing this, Yin Roucai reluctantly walked out of Tang Yin's bedroom with Lingshuang.
Waiting for the two of them to leave, Tang Yin fell on the bed, feeling that none of the bones and muscles in his body were not sore, he had hardly rested today, and had been fighting fiercely with the Sichuan army.
Tang Yin thought of the tactic of stealing the camp at night, but was stopped by Liang Qi and Ziying, and coincidentally, Xue Rong on the opposite side also thought of this tactic, and quietly used it
