Xiao Muqing and Zi Ying were both part of the War Faction and were both generals of the same army, but the two of them were after all, not the same person. There were also many differences in views between the two of them, and regarding the methods of the enemy, Zi Ying advocated a soft policy, while Xiao Muqing believed in iron bloodedness as deterrence, with each having their own reason and their own merits, which made it difficult to differentiate who was right and wrong.

Xiao Muqing was, after all, the commander, and he strongly advocated killing all the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Ning Country. Wu Guang and Jiang Fan could not say much, although Wu Ying felt that doing so was too brutal, but it would not be good for his to argue with Xiao Muqing over this.

As the commander, one word from Xiao Muqing determined the life and death of the tens of thousands of Ning Army captives.

The Feng Army divided the Ning Army captives who had lost their ability to resist into more than a hundred groups, and started digging holes and burying them. The swamp was filled with mud, the soil was moist and loose, and digging a huge pit was too easy. The pitiful tens of thousands of Ning Army soldiers were all killed by the Armadillo Swamp, and the Generals And Soldiers of Ning Army who had already died in battle was also buried here.

Under the power of the Armadillo Swamp, the body of the Ning Army was piled into a pile of bones.

The total strength of both sides combined did not even reach two hundred and fifty thousand, but in the end, it did not cause a small blow to the current Ning Country. The current source of troops was originally insufficient, and the majority of the troops were new recruits.

When the news of the tragic defeat of the armadillo was spread to the capital of Ning Country, Imperial Court s were in an uproar, and all of the initial optimism was instantly gone. At this moment, Yan Chu and the ministers and officials below all realized that the Hedong was not a temporary robbery, but an invasion that they had planned and prepared beforehand.

Although Feng Country attacks had a certain amount of losses, on the whole, the battle went extremely smoothly, and this was caused by many factors.

Firstly, because of the restrictions from the Dookie city, they attracted the Main Force of Ning Army to the north, causing them to be unable to provide reinforcements in time. Secondly, the dispatch of the Feng Country was too sudden, causing the entire city to be unprepared, and the Feng Country to be caught unprepared.

With the four of them in the army, even if they did not need to enter the battlefield, it would still raise the morale of the entire troop by a great deal. As for Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, and Zi Ying, the abilities of the three great Chief General s, they were still unable to be measured by concrete numbers, so any one of them could easily be considered a top commander that could take charge by himself and even provoke the great pillars of the army. With all these generals gathered together, no matter which kingdom they attacked, they would not be able to handle it, let alone the Ning Country which had just lost 400,000 elites.

Now, Ning Country was no longer concerned with whether or not they could take back the ground they had lost, but whether or not they could stop the continued invasion from the west by the Feng Country wolves.

As Feng City and Xiaoxia were successively seized by the Feng Army, Pingyuan Army led by Xiao Muqing and Sanshui Army led by Liang Qi began to advance in succession towards the west, gathering toward the center of Hedong.

The Feng Army of more than three hundred thousand people had gathered at the center of the city, and the other two cities at the west, the Southern Ocean, and the Jianxing, were in a precarious situation. The emergency documents from the Mayor s of the two cities were constantly being passed back to the Liangzhou s of the capital, and just when Yan Chu was feeling extremely anxious, the five hundred thousand reinforcements, led by Wei Zheng and Ming Xiaotian, finally arrived at the Hedong s.

Wei Zheng did not place the five hundred thousand strong Ning Country army in the Southern Ocean nor did he place them in the Jianxing. Instead, he settled down in the middle of the two cities and put on a posture of fighting a life and death battle with the Feng Army.

With such a large troop of Ning Army standing guard between the Southern Ocean and the Jianxing, it was already impossible for Feng Army to penetrate through the two cities, nor was it possible for them to attack the two cities forcefully. Once an attack was launched, the Feng Army at the side of the city would be attacked by the five hundred thousand Ning Army.

After receiving the news, Tang Yin immediately summoned his subordinates and discussed with them about how to deal with the enemy.

Now that Tang Yin had already appointed him as County Head, in order to show that he was not acting, he gave away the County Head Palace to Wang Kai. At this time, a sand table had already been set up inside the big tent, clearly simulating the terrain of the Southern Sea and Jianxing, to the point where not even a small hill was left out.

Tang Yin looked around at the generals, then grabbed a handful of the white soldier's clay sculpture, slapped it between the Southern Ocean and Jianxing, and said: "Currently, the Ning Country's five hundred thousand strong army is stationed here, various generals, tell me, how do you think we should defeat the enemy?"

"Humph!" Xiao Muqing laughed and said: "From the looks of it, Ning Jun wants to have a head on confrontation with our army, so our army will accompany him in a fight."

Zi Ying shook his head, and said sternly: "That is not appropriate, even if our soldiers are good at fighting head-on, against so many people, even if we can win against them, the losses would not be small!"

Liang Qi frowned: "How can fighting not kill people? If we were afraid of a large scale casualty, we would not have chosen to send out our troops from the Hedong! "

Xiao Muqing nodded his head, and at the same time, let out a grunt, showing that Liang Qi's words were logical, he continued: "According to my intelligence, although there are 500 thousand people in the Ning Country, there are not many truly capable soldiers, and most of them are newly recruited soldiers with Ning Country. When they fight, their fighting strength will be greatly reduced, so, 500 thousand soldiers of the Ning army is not a concern at all!"

"But, once our forces are at war with the Ning Army, the South Sea and Jianxing two cities to the north and south have suddenly sent out their troops. What should we do if they attack both sides of our army?" Tang Yin suddenly asked, at the same time, he picked up two more white clay statues, and placed them on both sides of the black clay statues.

"This …" Being asked by Tang Yin, Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi and Zi Ying did not really know how to answer. The three of them looked at Le Tian and Ai Jia who were beside the sand table. Ai Jia said: "According to this subordinate's investigation, the South Sea and Jianxing only have a troop strength of over ten thousand people."

Le Tian nodded, showing that the situation with Sky Eye was the same as the Earth Web.

Xiao Muqing shrugged his shoulders and laughed: "The two cities only have a measly twenty thousand troops, if they really dare to ambush the two wings of my army, that is equivalent to seeking death. When my army is fighting with the Ning Army, we only need to send five thousand soldiers to each wing to ambush them in the dark, and once the Ning Country city ambushes them, they won't be able to return. At the same time, we can also counterattack and threaten the Southern Ocean and the Jianxing two cities to disrupt the morale of the Ning Army."

"Oh …" After hearing Xiao Muqing's words, Tang Yin thoughtfully replied. After pondering for a moment, he nodded his head, looked at the crowd and asked: "I think Muqing's suggestion is feasible.

If their side wanted to face off head-on against the five hundred thousand soldiers of the Ning Army, it would be impossible for them to send too many troops to take care of the two flanks. Sending out ten thousand soldiers was already the limit. Liang Qi said: "I think the General Xiao's plan is feasible."

Tang Yin smiled and nodded, then asked Zi Ying: "General Zi Ying, what do you think?"

Zi Ying only felt that it was a huge loss to their side, but now that he saw the King's intentions, he agreed that they should face off against Ning Jun. Zi Ying sighed secretly, and did not refute him anymore, and said: "I will follow your orders!"

"Very good!" Tang Yin clapped his hands together and said: "Our army will rest at the Qingyuan for another day, and then continue to move westward. We must eliminate this Ning Country army in one go!"

He slowly swept his gaze across everyone's faces, and said slowly with a deep tone: "If we can do this, then our Ning Country's vitality will be greatly damaged, and Hedong will become my permanent territory, and it will be impossible for our Ning Country to recover to its peak state within twenty to thirty years, and my Typhoon's Western Territory can also ensure the safety of twenty to thirty years of war. If we are unlucky enough to lose this battle, then all the hard work that we have put in our Hedong will go down, and I, Typhoon, will be bullied and pressured by all of our Ning Country's efforts, for the next twenty to thirty years.

Upon hearing these words, everyone's blood and Qi was shaken, and their hearts were both moved and moved. As the sovereign, it was already extremely rare for Tang Yin to be able to personally go onto the battlefield. Even he had the determination to repay the nation with his life, so how could the generals below not be inspired?!

At this time, everyone could clearly feel that being able to have a Monarch like Tang Yin as his assistant was a blessing that they would never be able to cultivate in their entire lives. Although he also had those shortcomings, his shortcomings were nothing in front of Tang Yin's strength.

Everyone's eyes turned red as they all knelt down on one knee, clenched their fists and struck back at their breastplates, producing loud and clear bangs. Everyone shouted loudly, "I vow to follow the King until I die, my body will be smashed into smithereens, my head will be smashed into pieces, and I will not say a word!"

All the generals kneeled on the ground, and even the guards at the entrance of the tent all kneeled down. When they looked up, they saw that the entire camp was kneeling on the ground.

Tang Yin looked at the crowd. His gloomy expression had disappeared, and what followed was his signature rich and brilliant smile. He waved his hand at the crowd and said, "Everyone, get up! The decision to fight to the death is not used here, but used on the battlefield. "

All of the generals could feel the weight of the burden on their shoulders. As the ruler, Tang Yin was even more so, he had to shoulder the burden of the entire nation's prosperity, as well as its ups and downs; it was difficult to imagine how much courage he had to put out every day during this period of time to bear such heavy pressure. However, he was still smiling normally, and not a single thread of nervousness could be felt from his body.

Looking at Tang Yin's smile now, no one would feel relieved, they would only feel sad.

Tang Yin held onto the table with both hands and leaned forward, his gaze fixed on the sand, as he muttered: "Men are born for battle, and can only show the value of men in battle!" After saying that, he raised his head and smiled towards the crowd: "I still have the same words. The Feng Country is very poor, and I am also very poor. You have to understand that fighting is also a very interesting thing. In this world, there is nothing more exciting than taking away someone else's wealth, taking away someone else's woman, and watching someone kneel at your feet and tremble and cry! "
