Chapter 193
Hearing what Tang Yin said, the hearts of all the generals present were aching, and many people shed tears.
Tang Yin looked at everyone and said: "I am not saying this to ask you to take risks to retrieve the bodies of the fallen brothers, but to remember that in Surabaya, we have tens of thousands of brothers buried here. Today we will withdraw
Let’s go, but one day we will definitely come back, otherwise, how can those tens of thousands of heroic souls rest in peace?!”
"Your Majesty..." The generals were sad and angry, with tears in their eyes and clenched fists.
Lingshuang secretly sighed at the side. After all, Tang Yin still chose to retreat. However, even if he retreated, he did not forget to plant the seeds of revenge in the hearts of the soldiers to prepare for another southern invasion in the future. Tang Yin
He may seem irritable and impulsive, but he is actually very scheming.
Tang Yin couldn't be more clear about his own situation. It would be impossible to resist Mo's Tianwei Army and the main force of 300,000 people with only these remaining defeated generals. Not only could Pei City not be defended, I'm afraid
Jin'an is also unable to hold on. With this retreat, our side is likely to withdraw from Surabaya directly and fight to the death with the Mo army in Anqiu County.
He took a deep breath, turned to Qiu Zhen and said: "Immediately pass a letter to Zuo Shuang and ask General Zuo Shuang to mobilize the Feilong Army to assemble in Anqiu."
Qiu Zhen was startled and asked, "Is your Majesty preparing for a decisive battle with Mo Jun in Anqiu?"
Tang Yin asked back: "Otherwise, do you want me to give Anqiu away?"
Qiu Zhen's face straightened and he said: "Anqiu is a plain wasteland, which is very conducive to cavalry combat. If we fight the Mo army in Anqiu for a decisive battle, I'm afraid... it will be detrimental to our army!"
Tang Yin said seriously: "We will fight even if we are disadvantaged! Retreating to Anqiu is my bottom line. I will never give in even half a step!"
"But the king..."
"Stop talking, I've made up my mind." Tang Yin waved his hand, interrupting Qiu Zhen's words.
Qiu Zhen frowned, but finally swallowed the words that came to his lips, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I obey!"
Qiu Zhen can also understand Tang Yin's current mood. Originally, the situation was great and he was victorious. However, due to the withdrawal of Mo's main army, the situation was instantly reversed. Anyone who was in his shoes would feel depressed and aggrieved.
If even Anqiu is given away, then we can only retreat to Xishan County. The huge advantage we have gained and so much territory we have seized will be in vain. Tang Yin cannot accept such a result, and neither can the soldiers.
accept.
Under the strong pressure of the Mo Kingdom's Tianwei Army, the direct troops led by Tang Yin did not dare to withstand its attack, and withdrew again and again, first withdrew from Peicheng, and then moved north to Jin'an.
At this point, the Feng Army faced another problem. If they continued to retreat north and returned to Anqiu County, the Tianwei Army would most likely take advantage of the situation to pursue them. With the speed of the Mo Cavalry, they would be able to catch up with the Feng Army very quickly, but with
The Feilong Army led by Zuo Shuang has not yet been assembled in Anqiu, and it will take at least more than ten days. During this time, how will the Feng Army deal with the Tianwei Army?
At this time, two generals, Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan, volunteered to Tang Yin and offered to lead 10,000 soldiers to stay in Jin'an to stop the Mo Kingdom's Tianwei Army. This would not only cover Tang Yin's retreat, but also create time for the Feilong Army to assemble.
Everyone understands that staying in Jin'an now is a dead end. The people of Jin'an will never help the Feng army to defend themselves. It is lucky that there is no chaos in the city, and there are no reinforcements outside. They still have to fight with 200,000 Tianwei.
Even ten thousand iron men can't resist the military confrontation.
Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan can both be regarded as Tang Yin's favorite generals. How could the latter have the heart to let them take this risk? But other than this method, there is really no other way. In critical moments, cut off the tail to survive and sacrifice a small part of the body.
, preserving most of them is a helpless move.
After repeated deliberation, Tang Yin finally nodded in agreement, leaving Zhan Peng, Wei Xuan and 10,000 directly affiliated army officers behind. He led the others to withdraw to Anqiu County.
Jin'an's city defense is very strong. If there is no huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, a battle is entirely possible. However, Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan only have 10,000 people, while the Tianwei army has as many as 200,000, a difference of twenty times.
The combat power is no longer on the same level.
Less than a day after the main force headed by Tang Yin evacuated Jin'an, the Tianwei Army arrived like a whirlwind.
At this time, the Tianwei Army also received news that the main force of the Feng Army had withdrawn to Anqiu, leaving only a small number of troops stationed in Jin'an, thinking that Jin'an would be as easy to fight as Tongchuan. After arriving, they immediately launched an siege without even stopping.
.
The Tianwei Army is a cavalry army. There are no large siege weapons in the army, and they cannot carry them. The only thing that can come in handy in siege warfare is the ladder. When it comes to siege, the cavalry dismounts, and the soldiers completely follow the ladder.
He climbed up to the top of the city, hoping to break through the Feng army's defense line with superior force.
Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan personally commanded the battle on the top of the city and fought fiercely with the Mo army attacking the city. The battle between the two sides lasted for nearly a day. Not only did the Tianwei army fail to break through the Feng army's defense line, but
The losses were huge, and at last it was dark, so we had no choice but to withdraw our troops.
After a whole day of fighting, the Tianwei Army was shocked to realize that although Jin'an's defenders were few in number, their resistance was very tenacious and their combat effectiveness was extremely astonishing.
Shi Hanyu, the commander-in-chief of the Tianwei Army, changed his tactics. Instead of blindly attacking, he switched to harassment tactics and dispatched small groups of troops to perform feint attacks day and night. He first depleted the fighting spirit of the defenders, and when the will and physical strength of the defenders were almost exhausted,
Another all-out siege.
The Tianwei Army's feint attack lasted for two days and two nights, and then, under the command of Shi Hanyu, they launched an all-out attack on Jin'an again.
However, the resistance of the Feng Army in the city was still strong, pushing back wave after wave of Tianwei Army's attacks. After a whole day of fierce fighting, the Tianwei Army was forced back by the Feng Army.
A mere 10,000 people garrisoned Jin'an City turned out to be so difficult to defeat. An army of 200,000 people could not cross even half a step across the thunder pool. This made Shi Hanyu very angry. The latter immediately issued a death order. The entire army was divided into four parts and took turns to attack, so that the city could not be breached.
, the attack is non-stop, even if we use more and more people, we still have to break through Jin'an.
Next, the two sides fought continuously for two days and nights. The Feng army in Jin'an City suffered heavy casualties. At the end of the battle, even the seriously injured soldiers with broken arms and legs were pushed to the top of the city to join the battle. However, they were outnumbered, and Jin'an was still defeated by the mighty Tianwei army.
It was conquered by a force attack regardless of casualties.
Generals Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan had already fought so hard that they were covered with injuries. They retreated with their remaining troops to the City Lord's Mansion in the city, preferring to die rather than surrender and continue fighting. The small City Lord's Mansion once again became the center of the battle between the two sides.
Under the tenacious resistance of Feng Jun, Mo Jun rushed up and fell down. Even Shi Hanyu who was watching the battle was secretly dumbfounded. Everyone said that Feng Jun was fierce and fierce, like a tiger and wolf army. Seeing it today, it turned out to be true.
Not fake.
The Feng army resisted in the city lord's palace until all their bows and arrows were broken, and all their weapons were broken. In the end, Wei Xuan died in battle, Zhan Peng committed suicide, and all ten thousand Feng soldiers were killed, and no one was captured alive by Mo's army.
This battle was extremely brutal. On the other hand, the Tianwei Army on the attacking side did not take much advantage. They attacked a city defended by only 10,000 people, but suffered more than 20,000 casualties.
In the Mo Kingdom, this battle was recorded as the Jin'an Counterattack. In the Feng Kingdom, this battle was recorded as the bloody battle of Jin'an. During this battle, the Feng Army lost two generals, Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan. After this battle, the Feng Army
The army's power in Surabaya was completely clear, and the entire front was defeated back to Anqiu.
The deaths of Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan were not meaningless. The two of them blocked the Tianwei Army for these days and bought a lot of time for the Feng Army to gather. The 150,000 Feilong Army headed by Zuo Shuang rushed to Anqiu, and then
With the arrival of the Feilong Army, the Tianwei Army lost the desire to go north immediately, and could only wait for the main army in the rear to catch up before fighting the Feng Army to the death.
The Tianwei Army is waiting for reinforcements, but the Feng Army is not without action. Zuo Shuang sent a letter to all the counties in the Mo Kingdom occupied by the Feng Kingdom, asking each county to dispatch local troops to participate in the war. Xishan County alone was requisitioned by him
One hundred thousand troops. In addition, he also mobilized about one hundred thousand troops from the three counties of Dongjiang, Pengfeng and Zhengzhong.
The local armies of the four counties combined totaled 200,000, plus the 150,000 Feilong Army, and the total strength was close to 400,000. What is interesting is that not a single soldier in this army of nearly 400,000 was a Feng man, either.
Either Ning Ren or Mo Ren.
No matter what, our own army was finally assembled, and the Feng army's decline was temporarily stabilized.
Tang Yin did not stop until he returned to Shangwan, the county town of Anqiu County, and moved into the county capital. Then he sent someone to inquire about the battle situation in Jin'an. When he learned the result of the battle in Jin'an, he had no reaction at the time. When he returned,
I cried silently in my own bedroom.
He asked Letian and Ai Jia to send spies to Surabaya. No matter how much money they spent, they would find a way to buy the bodies of Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan.
However, before Tianyan and Diwang could take action, Mo Jun returned the body of the second general.
Shi Hanyu was a rather elegant commander-in-chief of the first army. When General Feng was alive, he was his enemy, but he had been killed in battle, and he didn't want to take it out on General Feng's body anymore. Moreover, from the bottom of his heart, he was very
I admire Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan for their loyalty.
After Tang Yin saw the two corpses with his own eyes, he could no longer control himself and burst into tears in public. As soon as he cried, the cries around him immediately became loud.
Regardless of whether they were familiar with Zhan Peng or Wei Xuan, they were all deeply saddened by their deaths. It can be said that they sacrificed their own lives to save the lives of everyone on their side. They were such loyal and righteous men.
How can we not feel sad about the damage?
After crying bitterly, Tang Yin ordered people to build a memorial platform on the outskirts of Shangwan to pay homage to the fallen soldiers in person.
The wind army moved up and down in unison, building a large ten-meter-high spiritual platform in half a day at an incredible speed.
Since the Feng Mo War, more than 200,000 soldiers have been killed. Among them, the well-known generals include Zhan Peng, Wei Xuan, Lu Song, Tian Jia and others. When Tang Yin issued the military summons, the first batch of generals were selected.
