V2.Chapter 679

After solving the danger of Liu Zhang and others being trapped, the plain army did not immediately return to the dynasty, but continued to advance westward and inland to piar.

At the same time, Xiao MuQing also sent a letter back to Huandi, temporarily enlisted a local army of 20000 Huan people, and asked them to bring more guides to understand the terrain of piar.

If you don't understand the terrain, you are fighting with your eyes closed. You will never win your opponent.

Ten days later, the reinforcements sent by Huandi met with the plain army and supplemented the armaments and military funds of the plain army. Then, Xiao MuQing ordered that instead of marching slowly, the whole army moved forward at full speed.

The plain army pushed forward all the way. In less than 20 days, it even took the three cities of butun mountain, dailiki and Huahu. Next, it reached Tegea, the capital of biar.

At this time, the plain army was more than 250 miles away from Tegea. According to the speed of the general legion, it would take three days to get to Tegea.

The piar side urgently dispatched troops from all over the country to assemble a large-scale army here in the national capital to fight to the death with the Pingyuan army.

However, what piar never thought of was that the plain army arrived at Tegea in only one day. The color of the day was getting brighter. When the garrison at the head of the city looked out, the plain army was incredibly close to the city.

The army marched 250 miles a day and carried a large amount of supplies and food, which was impossible for many people, but the plain army did exactly that. The whole army seemed to fall suddenly from the sky in front of the city of Tegea.

The city of Tegea was unprepared and faced the battle in a hurry. It can be said that it fell into passivity from the beginning of the battle.

Seeing that the plain army's offensive was becoming more and more fierce and the defenders were becoming more and more difficult to resist, the piar king pavira sent envoys to submit the surrender order to the plain army and wrote a handwritten letter to Xiao MuQing.

The general meaning is to persuade Xiao MuQing not to fight again. Piar has been convinced and will never invade the wind country again in the future. He is willing to submit to the wind country and pay tribute every year.

Xiao MuQing's reply to piar's descending order is three words: No. It was you who started the war at the beginning. Now the war is tight, but you don't want to fight any more. Which war starts when you want to start and ends when you want to end?

Xiao MuQing ordered all the officers and men of the army to continue to attack the city with all their strength and take Tegea before dark anyway.

At present, the garrison in Tegea is only about 20000 people. Even if the city is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it can't withstand the strong attack of more than 100000 people.

Pavira was the first one who could not sit still. He gave up the capital and fled from the west of the city with his family, ministers and personal guards.

As the king fled, Tegea's defenders were defeated faster. At Shenshi in the afternoon, the city wall in the east of the city was finally broken by the plain army.

A large number of wind troops poured into the city from outside the city. The red eyed wind people were more ferocious and tyrannical than the piar people.

After entering the city, no matter whether the other party is an army or ordinary people, they will kill people and rob money when they see people. They will not let go of the large objects and buildings that cannot be carried away, and they will all set fire to them.

For a moment, the huge capital of pyyar, Tegea, was ablaze with fire, as if it had become a sea of fire. The streets and alleys in the city were flooded with blood, and the ground was full of corpses, stumps and broken arms, which looked like hell on earth.

When they learned that the king of piar had fled from the west of the city, the "student army" headed by Liu Zhang, Bai an, Yan Yan, Xu you and Xiong Gu immediately chased him out of the city. They didn't hate king piar so much, but they couldn't stay in the city at all.

The scene of plain army killing people and killing a large number of civilians makes them really watch. Of course, they can't stop it. This is the war. This is the cruelty of the war. It was the same when the biar army invaded Qinglin county.

Pavira ran too fast. Liu Zhang and others chased out more than ten miles and found no trace of each other. Due to the lesson of rash advance last time, they didn't dare to chase down blindly this time, and then withdrew the troops and returned.

Under the rampage of the plain army, the city of Tegea was looted. Most of the hundreds of thousands of nobles, civilians and slaves in the city were killed and buried in the sea of fire. A large number of women and children were captured by the plain army and wanted to be brought back to the wind country as booty.

After burning tegaya, Xiao MuQing heard that the tombs of the kings of the past dynasties of the piar state were near tegaya. Without even thinking about it, he ordered him to dig graves and plunder money.

Such a barbaric practice makes Liu Zhang and others feel that it is too much to kill. Since King piar has escaped, why dig someone else's ancestral grave?

Xiao MuQing answered simply that the National Treasury is empty now. Where did the military expenditure and expenses come from? Of course, the wool comes from the sheep.

If we can't recapture the military expenses, make up for the losses of our own Qinglin county and earn enough benefits from this war, what's the significance of fighting this war?

War is to make money, not lose money. This is the consistent tradition and code of the wind army. Hearing Xiao MuQing say so, Liu Zhang and others have nothing to say.

Next, the plain army carried out large-scale excavation and plundering of the ancestral Mausoleum of piar, and the treasures in each mausoleum were robbed.

Feeling that the gold, silver and jewelry plundered by his side were almost the same, Xiao MuQing ordered the whole army to withdraw. On the way back to the native land of the wind country, the wind army also plundered, killed and destroyed the piar towns along the way.

In Xiao MuQing's words, either they don't fight, or they will beat piar at one time, so that they can only recover their strength in the next ten or twenty years and can't invade the border of Fengguo again.

The long-distance attack of the plain army really hurt biar.

Not only the capital of the country was destroyed, but also Zuling and more than a dozen towns. There were not many soldiers killed or injured, about 100000, while more than one million civilians were killed. Tens of thousands of women and children were captured to the wind country as slaves.

There is no way to count how much gold and silver the plain army plundered from piar this time. The wagons loaded with booty alone are divided into more than ten batches, and the number of wagons in each batch is between 200 and 300. The last batch returned to Zhenjiang with the plain army, as many as 500 wagons.

The Ming system of each batch of booty can be more than a foot high. Tang Yin was amazed at the richness of the booty.

In order to show the victory of the wind army, as well as to enhance the pride, self-confidence and cohesion of the local people, Tang Yin also ordered the construction of an exhibition hall in Zhenjiang to display some exquisite booty and open it to the public.

The construction of the exhibition hall was the first at that time, but it was not a new thing for Tang Yin.

Tang Yin, who tasted the sweetness of the war, immediately showed his belligerent nature. He left the plain army of the Hui Dynasty to rest in Zhenjiang. On the other hand, he ordered the Sanshui army led by Liang Qi to continue to send troops to piar. There was no target and focus of attack. The only purpose was to plunder to fill the empty Treasury.

In Tang Yin's view, the fiscal revenue of governing the country is not as happy and rich as that of foreign war.

At first, piar thought that the wind country was a sheep and wanted to take advantage of the unstable foothold of the wind country in Huandi to make a fortune. As a result, he didn't expect that the wind country was a wolf and a ferocious and greedy hungry wolf. Even now they don't want to provoke the wind country, but the fierce wind army still attacked one after another.

Tang Yin was very excited about the battle of the plain army. He specially invited Xiao MuQing to explain the specific details of the battle and the performance of Liu Zhang and others on the battlefield.

In the end, Xiao MuQing greatly appreciated the performance of the "student army", especially Liu Zhang. In his view, this man is a natural general. If he takes time, he will shine in the future.

Tang Yin looked up and smiled. In his impression, Xiao MuQing had never praised a person so much. He said: "it was mentioned in the returned war report that Liu Zhang made a big mistake by pursuing and killing the enemy. As a result, the whole army was almost destroyed."

"It's true, but the end general can only say... Flaws don't hide their virtues." Xiao MuQing said positively, "experience, tactics and strategies can be mastered through learning the day after tomorrow. However, Liu Zhangcha has a keen sense of smell, a grasp of fighter planes and a personality of moving forward bravely on the battlefield. He can't learn if he wants to learn the day after tomorrow. Liu Zhangcha just has these."

It's rare for Xiao MuQing to praise a young student. Tang Yin looked at him with a smile and said, "so I really chose the right person at the beginning."

"Yes, your majesty. In fact, the end general also wants to keep him around. If one day... The end will not be in the army, Liu Zhang can also take over the flag of the plain army!"

Hearing this, Tang Yin's smile disappeared and his face sank. He said in a frozen voice, "where can you be when you're not in the army? The plain army is made by you and is the Legion I trust most and can entrust me with the most important task. Even if you're 70, old and 80, you have to give me a job!"

Although Tang Yin's words were outrageous, they moved Xiao MuQing immensely. As a minister, I have no regrets in my life if I can get such trust and reliance from the king.

He bowed his head and said: "the king often said that the earthen pot does not break away from the wellhead, and the general will inevitably die before the battle..."

Even such a powerful Wu Guang can lose in front of the battle, not to mention himself?

"This is to others, not to you!" Tang yinteng stood up, walked to Xiao MuQing, then slowly squatted down and said, "although you and I are monarchs and ministers, in fact, I always treat you as an old brother. You helped me fight down the rivers and mountains of the wind country. I don't want to be left alone when I sit and enjoy the rivers and mountains."

Hearing the words, Xiao MuQing was moved. His eyes were red. He got up and knelt down and said in a trembling voice, "even if you have the words of the king, the last general will be crushed to pieces!"
