V3.Chapter 46

The defeat of Fengjun outside Xuangu pass was a complete failure and a mess. Feiyu army was almost destroyed. 80000 soldiers finally withdrew only about 20000 people.

The morale of the officers and men of Feiyu army was low, and Tang Yin was even worse. He thought it was a safe battle. Who could have thought that tens of thousands of officers and men died at the feet of bison without even seeing the shadow of the enemy. This battle also made people extremely angry.

However, Tang Yin can't show any discouragement. If even he becomes depressed, the following soldiers will have no hope. He cheered up and looked around at the soldiers. Finally, his eyes fell on Qingyu.

Tang Yin stood up, walked up to Qingyu and said, "don't lose heart. Victory or defeat is a routine for soldiers. Although we have lost this time, we will be able to conquer Xuangu pass next time!"

Qingyu smiled bitterly when he heard the speech. The victory or defeat was a common thing for soldiers. What he said was right, but this time he lost too badly. His hard-working Feiyu army was almost destroyed outside Xuangu pass. How many familiar faces he would never see again in the future, and how many close brothers shed blood on the battlefield, and the sacrifice was worthless.

He hung his head in silence.

Tang Yin looked embarrassed and said, "Qingyu, the responsibility for the defeat of this war is not you, it's all on me. If I hadn't been eager for success and underestimated the enemy, I wouldn't have this big defeat today."

What's the use of saying this now?! Qingyu sighed in his heart. He stood up and saluted Tang Yin. He said, "as the commander of Feiyu army, the end will not escape his blame for today's defeat. Please bring down the king!"

Qingyu is not the one who shirks the responsibility. He will bear what he should bear, and he will try his best to bear what he should not bear. After all, taking the blame on himself is also conducive to the king's reputation in the army.

Tang Yin doesn't care about this. In fact, the responsibility really lies with him alone. Qingyu once advised him to be steady and not to advance rashly, but he didn't listen. It's no wonder others are defeated today.

He patted Qingyu on the arm and said, "you're right. I should be punished if you want to be punished."

"Your Majesty..." Qingyu was startled. Tang Yin waved his hand and youyou said, "I underestimated the people of Sichuan. I thought Xiao Xuan died suddenly and the state of Sichuan would be in chaos for at least a while. Unexpectedly, the state of Sichuan still deployed heavy troops here in Shuangtang county."

Qingyu nodded. His side has too little information about the state of Sichuan. It is not surprising that the state of Sichuan has sent the central army to reinforce Shuangtang County, let alone who is the commander of the Sichuan army. It has such a defeat without knowing anything.

But now it's meaningless to worry about these. He changed his words and asked, "king, where should we go now?"

Tang Yin pondered for a moment and said, "withdraw to Baipi city temporarily. First, our army can repair there temporarily. Second, we can wait for our main army to follow up. At that time, we will regroup and fight to the death with the Sichuan army in Xuangu pass!"

Qingyu thought for a moment, nodded and sighed, "that's the only way."

The Baipi city he mentioned is located in the north of Shuangtang county and sits between the mountains and depressions. It is a small city with a population of tens of thousands. However, its location is very good and extends in all directions. If you choose to retreat here, you can also "attack and run".

Tang Yin led the defeated soldiers of Feiyu army to retreat to Baipi City, but the journey was not half. When passing through a mountain forest, suddenly, there was a loud cry of killing in the forest. Then, the dense arrows came out of Lin * *.

The unprepared wind army was taken by surprise. After only one round of arrow shooting, a large number of people fell in the wind army camp.

Unexpectedly, there was an ambush on the way of his retreat. Tang Yin was also surprised. He was not afraid of the ambush, but the soldiers below could not resist it.

At the critical moment, while ordering the whole army to speed up and rush through the woods, he led the bodyguards around him to rush into the woods, trying to disrupt the enemy as much as possible and try to cover more soldiers to break out.

A San and a Si also wanted to follow Tang Yin to rush to the woods, but Tang Yin stopped them. He said in a deep voice, "you two don't care about me, just protect Qingyu!"

The soldiers' deaths and injuries can also be made up by recruiting troops and horses, but the generals' deaths and injuries can not be made up in any case. The battle has been lost miserably. If Qingyu is caught up again, Tang Yin may even have the heart to hit the wall.

After Tang Yin and many bodyguards rushed and killed with all their strength, the ambush in the forest was beaten back, and finally hundreds of bodies were thrown down, and the rest retreated to the depths of the forest.

Tang Yin did not pursue. Seeing that the ambush in the state of Sichuan had retreated, he immediately led the people back. Because there were not many ambushes, although the remnant of Feiyu army was caught off guard, the loss was not great, and there were only two or three hundred casualties.

This is just the beginning. In the next journey, the flying feather army almost met the enemy step by step, either falling rolling logs and stones on the mountain, or shooting cold arrows from the woods and valleys. Each wave of enemy attack is not large, but it will always cause casualties to the wind army. All the way down, the remaining 20000 people of the flying feather army lost nearly half.

Tang Yin and Qing Yu are also very helpless about the harassment tactics of the Sichuan people. After all, they fight locally, like fish in water, and have the advantages of time, place and people. Now they only want to get to Baipi city as soon as possible. With a solid foothold, they are not afraid of the attack tactics of Sichuan soldiers.

Unfortunately, misfortunes never come singly. On this day, the remnant of Feiyu army was only half a day away from Baipi city. A man and horse suddenly came in front. Tang Yin and Qingyu were surprised. They looked forward carefully and breathed a sigh of relief. The other party was playing the flag of Fengguo.

Seeing clearly that it was the wind flag, Tang Yin put down most of his heart. His side can't meet the enemy now. Otherwise, I'm afraid even these 10000 people can't go.

However, Qingyu has an ominous premonition that his side has no troops stationed in this area. If anything, it is the garrison of baipicheng tens of miles away. The garrison of baipicheng can't run so far to meet him. Is there an accident in baipicheng?

Thinking of this, Qingyu excites Lingling to fight a cold war, turns his head to a bodyguard around him and urgently says, "go ahead and see who is the leader of the army!"

"Yes, general!" The famous bodyguard promised and hurried the horse out.

After a short time, the bodyguard returned and brought back two wind generals. Both of them were slanted in their helmets and covered with blood. Looking at their faces, they were mixed with blood, dust and sweat, like two big painted faces.

Seeing the two of them and looking at their appearance now, Qingyu's head buzzed. What are you afraid of? Something must have happened in Baipi city. These two wind generals are the main and Deputy generals of Feiyu army left behind in Baipi city. One is Zhang Hong and the other is Wang Dian.

The two of them came to Tang Yin and Qingyu, turned over and dismounted. Without waiting to speak, they fell to their knees with a plop, kowtowed forward, and said with a trembling voice: "king and general, Baipi city was attacked this morning. There are many enemies. Our army is outnumbered. Baipi City... Baipi city has been lost..."

Although he had a hunch, after hearing what they said, Qingyu slowly closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time before he raised his eyes and asked, "how did you promise me that you two took the initiative to stay in Baipi city?"

"The city... The city is, the people are, the city is dead... The city is dead, the people are dead!" Zhang Hong and Wang Dian put their heads on the ground and were so frightened that they didn't even dare to lift their heads.

"Now that Baipi city has been lost, how can you two have the face to see me? Come!" The green feather side head drinks a way.

The left and right guards step in and salute. Qingyu pointed to the two kneeling people and said, "military justice disposal!"

"General..." Zhang Hong and Wang Dian were so frightened that they wanted to beg for mercy, but they didn't dare to beg for mercy. They both knew that Qingyu hated soft bones most. At this time, they could only look at Qingyu with their eyes open, but they couldn't say a word.

Tang Yin sighed, waved to the guards who came forward and said, "all step back!"

"Your Majesty, our army's supplies, grain and grass are stored in Baipi city. Now the city is lost. Zhang and Wang will not escape their blame. They should be severely punished!" Qingyu looked at Tang Yin and said in a hurry.

In fact, Zhang Hong and Wang Dian are also close friends of Qingyu, and like him, they are born in Mo people, but because of this, Qingyu dare not be selfish.

Tang Yin didn't think so much. He asked Zhang and Wang erhan: "how many soldiers and horses are there in the Sichuan army attacking the city?"

"Report back to the king. The enemy came suddenly, as if it had fallen from the sky. The last general didn't see how many troops the enemy had. However, I heard that the commander of the enemy was... Buying!" Zhang Hong wiped the tears on his face and said carefully.

"Boone? Has he come to Shuangtang county?" Tang Yin is full of doubts and turns to look at Qingyu. The latter is also at a loss. When did buying arrive in Shuangtang county? Why didn't his side even hear the wind?

Tang Yin looked at Zhang Hong again and asked, "did you hear me wrong?"

"Your Majesty, it's true!" Zhang Hong and Wang Dian nodded again and again.

"So... We were defeated by Bouin." Tang Yin nodded thoughtfully. It was not until this time that he found out who his opponent was.

"That's not surprising." Said Qingyu youyou. No wonder the Sichuan people arranged so skillfully in Shuangtang County, deliberately allowing their army to pass unimpeded in Shuangtang County, but gave their most fatal blow when they thought the overall situation was settled.

Tang Yin smiled bitterly and asked, "how many soldiers and horses did you two break out with?"

"Less than... Five thousand brothers..." Zhang Hong and Wang Dian lowered their heads, and their voices were so low that they couldn't hear them clearly.
