Chapter 573

After receiving the news about Tianyan and Diwang, Tang Yin immediately summoned his generals to download TXT. Now there is Ning's army of more than 400,000 on the opposite side. If Changsun Yuanhong's army of 300,000 comes again, then Ning's army will have more than 700,000. If we have less than 300,000 soldiers, even if we can fight, no matter how hard we fight, Even if he could fight, it would be impossible to contend with so many enemies.

At this time, Letian said again: "Your Majesty, generals, Changsun Yuanhong is not incompetent. He is known as the most powerful general in the Ning Kingdom. As early as ten years ago, his military power was unmatched in the Ning Kingdom. It was only because he disagreed with Yan Chu, the current monarch of Ning State, that he was sent to the west of Ning State..."

Letian told everyone everything he knew. After hearing that Changsun Yuanhong put down the rebellion of the Yue people and provided the Yue people with all the materials needed for the war to help them build their country, everyone headed by Xiao Muqing The generals all took a breath of cold air. They beat people first and then helped them. Then they used the hands of Yue people to lay down a vast territory outside the western border of Ning State, so that Ning State would not have to worry about Western invasion. Changsun Yuanhong was not only a fierce general, A wise general is so simple, he even has the talent to stabilize the country.

With such a man leading a mixed Ningyue army of 300,000 people to Hedong, is it necessary for our side to continue fighting? At this time, everyone suddenly had the idea that this battle could no longer be fought. If we continued to fight hard, we would have to make the same mistake again and the entire army would be annihilated in the east of the river. The only solution for now is to take whatever we can with us. , grab whatever you can, and then quickly retreat to Tongmen.

Just looking at everyone's expressions, Tang Yin could guess what everyone was thinking. For a moment, he felt that this battle could not be fought. However, if the attack on Hedong failed this time, Feng Guo would have no chance to capture it in the next few decades. Hedong, without the support of the grain-producing treasure land of Hedong, it is impossible for Feng State, which relies on war to support war, to become strong.

Tang Yin lowered his head and rolled his eyes, thinking about ways to defeat the enemy. He didn't believe that the Wei Zheng in front of him was really that difficult to deal with, and that Ning Jun's defensive tactics were really that difficult to break. As a modern man, he knew so many successful battles in ancient times and had so much wisdom from the ancients. Could it be that he Can't you deal with the mere Wei Zheng in front of you?

After pondering for a long time, Tang Yin simply closed his eyes and leaned back, as if he was asleep. Seeing this, everyone was surprised and looked at each other, no one dared to speak. Now it is a critical moment for the life and death of our own army. Everyone is waiting for Tang Yin to make a decision, but Tang Yin actually fell asleep during the discussion. What should we do?

After waiting for a while, everyone lost their patience. The lower-ranking generals began to wink at the higher-ranking generals. The generals who were not so close to Tang Yin began to make crossbow gestures to the generals who were close to Tang Yin. Finally, everyone's gazes It all fell on Wuying.

In any case, Wuying's sister is Mrs. Fengguo, and she is Tang Yin's sister-in-law. Her relationship with Tang Yin is naturally unmatched by others. Wuying understood what everyone meant. She took two deep breaths, walked slowly to Tang Yin, bent down, and called softly: "Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"

After calling twice, Wuying became a little nervous when Tang Yin turned around and called out again: "Your Majesty..."

As soon as she opened her mouth this time, Tang Yin, who seemed to be asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, and two faint green lights shot out from his eyes.

Wuying was startled. In her memory, it was rare to see Tang Yin's eyes so sharp. She backed away almost out of instinct.

Tang Yin stood up straight, the green light in his eyes disappeared, but the light did not dissipate. He looked around at the generals present and asked slowly: "When will the 300,000 troops commanded by Changsun Yuanhong arrive in Hedong? Tomorrow? the day after tomorrow?"

Everyone did not understand the intention of his words, and looked at each other. Finally, Lotte bravely replied: "Oh... Your Majesty, the eldest grandson Yuanhong wants to return to the capital from the west of Ning State first, and then rush to the east of Hedong. The fastest." It will take a few months.”

"In a few months, in such a long time, can't our army still defeat the forty Wanning army on the opposite side?"

Everyone was speechless in response to Tang Yin's question. Ning Jun just couldn't hold on. How could we win? Let alone a few months, even if it drags on for a year and a half, our side will have no way to defeat the Ning army that is stubbornly defending it!

"Huh!" Tang Yin laughed coldly and said, "You generals think it is difficult for our army to win this battle within a month, right? I think our army will win!" As he spoke, he shouted loudly : "Generals Jiang Fan and Zhan Hu obey orders!"

Jiang Fan and Zhan Hu trembled, and hurriedly walked out of the queue, stepped in and saluted Tang Yin, and said: "Your Majesty, the general is here!"

Tang Yin said: "I will give you two fifty thousand soldiers each. You two will immediately unite their troops and attack the two cities of Nanhai and Jianxing respectively. Now Wei Zheng has huddled all the reinforcements in the camp, and there are not many defenders in the two cities. , you two must strive to break the city in the shortest possible time. Whoever breaks the city first will receive a great merit, and whoever breaks the city later will receive a major demerit!"

Jiang Fan and Zhan Hu were stunned for a moment, and then both responded: "I will obey your order!"

The two of them accepted Tang Yin's military order, but the other generals were dumbfounded. Didn't the king know that capturing Nanhai and Jianxing cities was an attempt to disperse his own forces and would be defeated by the enemy one by one? Why are you still issuing such an order now?

Jiang Fan and Zhan Hu didn't care about that. They only followed Tang Yin's orders. After receiving Tang Yin's command arrow, the two turned around and walked out. At this time, before anyone else could speak, Tang Yin shouted first: "Stop, I haven't finished speaking yet!"

The two men immediately stopped, turned around, cupped their hands and asked, "What else does your Majesty have to say?"

Tang Yin squinted his eyes, looked at the two of them, and said quietly: "After the city is broken, you and your troops will not only kill all the defenders in the city, but also the people in the city. Within an hour, you can Kill as many as you want, and at the same time, bring all the gold, silver, treasures, food and supplies in the city that our army can carry back to the camp, and then you two will lead the army back!"

Jiang Fan and Zhan Hu glanced at each other, then bowed in response. Tang Yin waved his hand and said: "You two go, remember, the battle must be quick and complete. After fighting, killing, and robbing, retreat back to the main battlefield." camp."

Before Jiang Fan and Zhan Hu could leave, Ziying couldn't help but stand up, cupped her hands and said, "No, Your Majesty. After destroying the city and massacring the people in the city, the people of Ning will share the same hatred..."

Before he finished speaking, Tang Yin waved his hand and said: "I can't control that much anymore. Not only the Ning people in Nanhai and Jianxing will be massacred, but also the surrounding villages and towns and the Ningguo towns to the west of Hedong. Our army will have to sneak attack, harass, and kill Killing and plundering will disturb the peace of Ning State. Yan Chu sent Wei Zheng to Hedong not to be a tortoise, but to counterattack, deal with our army, and regain the lost territory. As long as our army can kill Hedong and Hedong, The corpses of Ning people in the area to the west are everywhere. Wei Zheng's defensive strategy will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of Yan Chu and the Ning court. In the end, there are only two results, either forcing Wei Zheng to go to war, or transferring Wei Zheng back to the capital. In this way, our army's chance It’s coming!”

I see! After listening to Tang Yin's explanation, everyone finally understood Tang Yin's intention. This strategy can be called a separation strategy, or a strategy to defeat the enemy. It is to force Yan Chu and Wei Zheng to come out and fight, otherwise Hedong As well as the Ning people near Hedong will all suffer.

Tang Yin squinted his eyes and said faintly: "The fact that the Yue people were able to conquer a vast territory to the west of Ning State shows that the Yue people are very powerful in combat, and the Yue State's cavalry cannot be underestimated. However, this also shows that the Yue State's The relationship with the Zhou Dynasty must be extremely bad. We can use gold, silver and jewels to bribe and bribe the Yue Kingdom and the Zhou Dynasty countries to send troops to Yue. In this way, the Yue Kingdom's 100,000 cavalry must return to the country to rescue, Changsun. The 300,000 people under Yuan Hong's command have become 200,000. However, our country Feng does not have that much money, so gold, silver and jewels can only come from Ning country, so," Tang Yin looked at everyone with bright eyes and smiled ferociously. Then he said: "You have to rob it for me, plunder it, until we have enough gold, silver and jewelry to move people's hearts!"

Tang Yin's massacre and plunder were not without purpose. They were all designed to target Ning Guo. While everyone nodded their heads, they also admired him from the bottom of their hearts. It is hard to imagine that the king could actually do this in such a period of time. Come up with such a perfect countermeasure.

Seeing that everyone's expressions gradually relaxed, Tang Yin sighed softly and said quietly: "If we do this, the Ning people will hate us, but it is better to be hated by the Ning people than to be laughed at by the Ning people. So, generals, I hope you Never show mercy when attacking a city, and I don’t want to see any enemy prisoners released again.”

His words were mainly directed at Ziying, who was not a fool. As soon as Tang Yin finished speaking, Ziying shivered, fell to his knees with a plop, kowtowed and said: "General, I will obey the king's order." !”

Tang Yin did not mention Ziying by name, but he had already knelt down, and others could no longer stand. Everyone knelt down and said in unison: "General, I will obey!"

In the early stage of the Battle of Hedong, the behavior of the Feng Army could only be described as gentle. The policy of not killing, hurting, disturbing, or causing chaos was also implemented very thoroughly. The arrival of the 500,000 Ning Army under the command of Wei Zheng became a The turning point in Feng Jun's behavior.

Under Tang Yin's instruction, Jiang Fan and Zhan Hu each led 50,000 troops to attack Nanhai and Jianxing. Currently, Nanhai and Jianxing only had 10,000 soldiers. How could they resist Jiang Fan and Zhan Hu? With the fierce attack of the second general, the two of them broke through the city almost at the same time. They took the lead and rushed directly into the city lord's mansion. They beheaded the city lord of the second city first, and then ordered the entire army to massacre the city and take away everything that was valuable or easy to carry. .
