Chapter 707

As Tang Yin expected, the more than ten warships he arranged really made Wei Zheng very sick.

More than ten of their warships did not sink one of the enemy ships, but all of them and ten Ningjun warships sank to the bottom of the river because of the collision on the river. What's more, this section of water is shallow. More than 20 large warships sank to the bottom of the river, and the ships behind them were affected by it. The bottom of the ships was more or less damaged. After Wei Zheng's fleet forced through, they did not go far More than ten warships sank due to serious damage to their bottom.

The battle of Zhanghe was finally defeated by Wei, and the Fengjun's capture of Ningjun camp ended. In this war, the Feng army was the winner, but the casualties were much heavier than those of the Ning army. Among them, the Tianying army suffered the most losses, with more than half of the casualties, followed by the plain army, the direct subordinate army and the Sanshui army. The total casualties of the whole army exceeded 150000.

Although it was a victory, it was also a tragic victory. Fortunately, the reserve forces were still sufficient, and the 150000 casualties did not reach the point of great injury.

General Tang Yining took over from the plain.

Along the way, when we look around, we can see most of the bodies and the wounded.

All the bodies of Ning army were buried on the spot. There was nothing to say. The dead soldiers of the Feng army had to be transported back to their native land. When the corpses were sorted out, the corpse mounds were piled up one after another. The soldiers carrying the corpses were unable to shed tears and became numb. Just looking at the army cards of the dead on the wooden shelf in front of the corpse pile was dense and shocking.

It is not difficult to imagine the tragedy and hardship of this war without going to the battlefield in person and looking at the aftermath of the war.

Then Tang Yin, who is a man of iron and blood, is also moved. He looks at all the generals of the plain army who are around him. Even Xiao MuQing, who is not good at martial arts, has broken armor and is full of dents left by sharp weapon stabbing.

Tang Yin youyou said: "MuQing, this battle is really hard for you."

With a simple sentence, Xiao MuQing almost shed tears. He arched his hand and said: "the end will not dare to speak of hard work, but the brothers below, go through life and death, bloody struggle, that is really hard work."

Tang Yin stopped, turned back and patted him on the shoulder. He said, "one hundred thousand strong attacks more than two hundred thousand, breaking the camp and pulling out the stronghold. Under the whole world, only the plain army of commander MuQing can do this."

Xiao MuQing was in front of him. He bowed his hands again and said, "thank you for your praise."

Tang Yin sighed with a long sigh and said, "this battle is magnificent, worthy of being the first army of my gale." With these words, he went on to Ning Ying's interior.

As the saying goes, a general can become a famous general, and can be affirmed and praised by the monarch. It is hard to pile up with countless blood and life.

When the king came, the officers and men who were sitting on both sides of the room stood up one after another. Most of them were dressed in bandages, and looked at Tang Yin eagerly.

Seeing this, Tang Yin stopped his steps, waved his hands at the crowd and said, "brothers, please sit down and have a rest."

"King!" People stepped in to greet Tang Yin.

Tang Yin's heart was hot, and he didn't say anything more, but he gave a deep salute to the left and right soldiers.

Seeing that the king saluted his ordinary soldiers, people were startled. They all knelt down on one knee and said in unison: "King"

Tang Yin did not stop much and left for the inner camp with Xiao MuQing and others.

Tang Yin was somewhat surprised by the layout of Ning camp. The layout of the camp was quite original because of the small camp. He asked Xiao MuQing around him and said, "MuQing, why should the Ning army camp be built like this?"

Xiao MuQing chuckled indifferently and said, "don't underestimate the layout of Ning camp. The inner camp is connected with the wharf. If our army attacks head-on and breaks through the Zhanghe River, it must land here. After disembarking, it will be trapped in the inner camp. At that time, the Ning army will climb the stockade wall and take a commanding position. Our army is really hard to break through. The inner camp of the Ning army is both offensive and defensive. When our army attacks from land, the inner camp is the last line of defense of the Ning army. If it comes from the water, the inner camp is the first line of defense of the Ning army. "

"I see!" Tang Yin nodded and said with a smile: "what a clever idea. This camp should be "

" it was created by changsun Yuanhong Xiao MuQing took the road.

"Oh Tang Yin murmured: "long sun Yuanhong, this man is both intelligent and brave. He is really fierce!"

"It's a pity that he can't be a man. He is too arrogant and is out of tune with the Ningguo court." Xiao MuQing shrugged and said, "if he is not transferred back to Liangzhou, Ning camp should be guarded by him. If our army wants to capture it, it will not be so easy."

After a pause, Xiao MuQing said, "my king, our army should rest here, and it is not easy to advance westward in a short time."

Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, glanced at him and asked, "why?"

Xiao MuQing solemnly said: "the casualties of our army are not small in this war, so it is necessary to take a rest. Secondly, our army is close to the Mohist army in Liangzhou. The king should let the Mo army go deep into Ningdi first, causing pressure on Liangzhou. In this way, even if Chang sun Yuanhong is sent abroad, he will deal with the Mo army first, not our army."

Tang Yin raised a small hill in his brow and asked in a gloomy voice, "what? Are you afraid of the great success of your eldest grandson

Xiao MuQing bowed his hand and said, "the final general is not afraid of him, but hopes to compete with him in the battlefield. However, in this way, our army will suffer heavy casualties, and on the contrary, it will benefit Mo's army. What's more, the king's ambition is not just one Ningguo. The more troops we have left in this battle of vaning, the more help the king will achieve in the future. "Tang Yin took a deep look at him and did not speak for a long time. Xiao MuQing's words are not unreasonable. During the national war, we should not be impulsive and make fun of the lives of the soldiers below. What's more, Fengguo is not at ease now. Sichuan and Zhenjiang may raise troops to invade at any time. If there are too many troops consumed this time, once there is a danger, how can we deal with it?

Thinking of this, Tang Yin frowned, chuckled, and said, "who says that MuQing is not good at scheming? Your proposal is very good. According to what you mean, our army will rest in Hexi for five days. " With these words, he called back: "Lotte, Aijia!"

"My subordinates are here!" Lotte and Aijia rush forward to salute.

Tang Yin turned his eyes and said, "send a letter to Shao immediately to explain the situation of our army in this war. In addition, we should also tell Shao about the specific casualties of our army. The more detailed, the better."

Lotte and Aijia frown secretly, because Fengmo is an alliance. After the first World War, it is proper to explain the situation to the other side. However, although the battle is won by our own side, the victory is not beautiful. The casualties are far greater than that of the defeated Ning Jun. how can the king publicize such a disgrace?

Seeing that they did not understand each other, Tang Yin said with a smile: "Shao Fang is a man who is headstrong and arrogant. If our army wins such a terrible battle, he must laugh at him and speed up the attack. If he wants to get into Liangzhou first, we'll give him an encouragement. "

Lotte and Aijia looked at each other, laughed, and said, "yes! My subordinates will send a message to the flying pigeons of Mo Jun's side. "

The Fengjun, led by Tang Yin, settled down in the Hexi camp, saying that it was a rest, but the whole army was not idle. At Qiu Zhen's suggestion, the Feng army marched around and attacked the counties and cities of Hexi County, so as to control the whole territory of Hexi county.

There are three counties and eight cities in Hexi County, three of which are located along the Zhanghe River. These three cities are also the main producing areas of Ningguo warships.

Tang Yin was really afraid of water war and realized the importance of water war. He first sent troops to attack the three cities.

The main force of Ning army had fled with Wei's expedition. The whole territory of Hexi county was empty and could not resist the attack of the wind force. Most of the resistance of the cities came from the people. The people of Ningguo spontaneously organized the people's groups to defend their own cities. It's just that this kind of temporary militia may be OK against bandits, but it's no doubt that heaven talks about fighting against the regular army of a country.

It did not take much effort for the Fengjun troops to capture the three cities. They also adopted a gentle policy towards the mass organizations organized by the people. Only a few leaders were executed. As for the people below, they were not responsible for the past. Tang Yin's sudden kindness is not his magnanimity. He needs these three cities to build warships for Fengguo. If the killing is too heavy, he will rebound, which is not conducive to the overall situation.

Three cities along the river were laid down, and then the wind forces invaded the interior of Hexi and took another five cities. Tang Yinke was not polite to the five cities. He handed down military orders. If there was any resistance, he would kill without mercy. If he resisted, he would kill the whole city.

The Feng army strictly carried out Tang Yin's orders.

When we attacked the first city, we met the strong resistance of the people in the city. All the garrisons in the city were the people in the city. After the destruction of the city, the wind forces from the East, West, north, South and North all rushed into the city, killing the people in the city.

In this killing, from dawn to darkness, and from darkness to dawn, more than 200000 people in the city were killed, and few survived. After the killing, there was a frenzied looting. At this time, the wind army was just like a red eyed bandit. When they saw what they robbed, they carried all the valuable things in the city. When they left, they burned the city and the people's bodies clean.

The brutality and cruelty of the wind forces played a deterrent role to a certain extent. The next four cities attacked had little resistance, and the wind forces almost lost their weapons and took the four cities lightly.

If we say that the wind forces still have a place in Hedong county and think that it is their own territory, it is totally ignored in Hexi county. In addition, the discipline of the wind force is relatively loose, especially the army directly under the command, burning, killing and looting. In a few days, it is the directly affiliated army that gains the most and seizes the most spoils.

When Qiu Zhen submitted the spoils account to Tang Yin, Tang Yin also laughed. Lian Zan's army was worthy of his own near army and worked hard on the battlefield.

Xiao MuQing, Liang Qi and Ziying laughed bitterly. The plain army, Sanshui army and Tianying army only robbed the property of officials or big families, while the army directly under the command robbed whatever they saw, regardless of whether the other side was a common people or a rich person. It was also because of the lawlessness of the direct subordinate army that the reputation of the Feng army was extremely bad, which made Ning people fear like tigers and leopards and moved to the west to seek refuge.
