Tang Yin heard this and laughed bitterly. It's hard to imagine that Tang Yin can still laugh when there are only 15000 people left after the first 100000 Feiyu army. Qingyu asked, "king, what should we do next?"
Now he has no idea. Even if he is proficient in the book of war and will unite the army and fight again, he can't do anything with this disabled and defeated general with only 15000 people.
Tang Yin pondered for a moment and said, "Shuangtang county has no place for our army, so we can only withdraw from Shuangtang County for the time being and join the plain army, Sanshui army and directly subordinate Army..." the more he spoke, the lower his voice became. In the end, he couldn't say it himself.
At the beginning, the generals unanimously opposed his troop division tactics, but he insisted on taking Feiyu army one step ahead, breaking into Shuangtang county and sneaking into Xuangu pass. As a result, he was defeated and lost countless soldiers. Now he wants to retreat back and join the troops on the plain. Tang Yin himself feels hot on his face.
Of course, Qingyu can understand the embarrassment in Tang Yin's heart. For fear that he will regret after losing his face, he hurriedly said, "the king is right. Our army really needs to withdraw from Shuangtang County immediately and join General Xiao."
Tang Yin nodded, then looked at Zhang Hong and Wang Dian, waved and said, "you two get up. The responsibility for today's defeat is not entirely on you two. However, you two have to remember that you must pay tribute to your sins and make up for your mistakes in the future."
"Thank you, general! Thank you, general..." Zhang Hong and Wang Dian thought they were going to die this time. Unexpectedly, the king would save their lives. They kowtowed repeatedly.
Tang Yin waved his hand and motioned him to go down first. After Zhang Hong and Wang Dian left, Tang Yin frowned and said, "since buying arrived at Shuangtang County, he calculated all this for our army. He should and will be able to calculate that our army will eventually be forced to withdraw from Shuangtang county."
"So, the king thought that buying would ambush our army on the way out of Shuangtang county?" Qingyu is so smart that she can see through it at a glance.
Tang Yin nodded and said, "it's very possible. If I were buying, I would ambush on the road and give the enemy one last blow!"
Qingyu Eun gave a sound and thought about it carefully. He felt that the king's concern was reasonable. He asked suspiciously, "what about the king's opinion?"
Tang Yin said, "avoid official roads and take mountain roads."
Qingyu couldn't help taking a breath, subconsciously looked at the soldiers around him and said, "I'm afraid... Brothers can't hold on!"
Shuangtang county has many mountains and forests, and the mountain roads are complex. Some sections are relatively flat, while some sections are between mountain streams, which is not suitable for the army.
Tang Yin didn't know that the mountain road was difficult to walk, but this was the only way to avoid the Sichuan army. He said: "now our army has lost all its supplies, and there is not much food and grass left. It has no burden. It is right to take the mountain road."
Qingyu nodded thoughtfully and felt that Tang Yin's method was risky, but at least it was much safer than going official. He said, "just follow the king's instructions. Let's take the mountain road back to Yisu."
The Feiyu army led by Tang Yin and Qing Yu gathered the remnants of the defeat in Baipi city. The soldiers of the two sides joined together, stopped fighting, gave up the official way and quietly changed to the mountain stream path.
The mountain roads in Shuangtang county are strange and dangerous, especially the roads dug on the mountain. On one side are mountain walls and on the other side are tens of feet deep cliffs. The width of the mountain road is less than half a meter. It can only allow one person to pass at a time. The fatal thing is that the mountain road is still extremely slippery. Even if you are careful, it is easy to slip and fall.
In this case, the difficulty and danger of marching can be imagined. Almost every day, Tang Yin can receive a thick stack of damaged personnel. With the passage of time, the number of the remaining flying feather Army soldiers has become smaller.
The only thing to be thankful for is that they did not encounter the ambush of the Sichuan army, which is a blessing in misfortune. After Tang Yin and Qingyu lead their troops over Duntou mountain, they will go on to the boundary of Yisu county. Here, Tang Yin and Qingyu are also relieved.
At present, the plain army, Sanshui army and directly subordinate army are in Yisu County, and have been pushed to Tongzhou, the county city of Yisu County, which is not far from Duntou mountain.
After walking out of Duntou mountain, Tang Yin and Qingyu immediately led the army to Tongzhou. To make a long story short, it was dangerous all the way. Five days later, the remnant of Feiyu army led by Tang Yin and Qingyu finally merged with the main force of Fengjun stationed near Tongzhou.
Now the flying feather army is miserable, and Tang Yin is not much better. He is unkempt, his clothes are damaged in many places, and he is covered with mud. He looks like a beggar.
When General Xiao MuQing, Liang Qi and Wu Ying welcomed Tang Yin out of the camp, people couldn't help laughing and almost laughed on the spot.
It's just that it's not a laughing occasion at this time. The Feiyu army has been beaten too badly. Under normal circumstances, the establishment of an army with more than seven achievements can be cancelled, but now the Feiyu army is nearly 90%. The 100000 army has only returned more than 10000 people, and most of them are wounded. It can be said that the Feiyu army now exists in name only.
Xiao MuQing first stepped forward quickly, stepped in and saluted, then looked up and down at Tang Yin with concern on his face, and asked solemnly, "is the king not hurt?"
"I'm fine." Tang Yin said carelessly. As he spoke, his eyes swept around the generals' faces.
"The general at the end of the war report sent back by the king has read it carefully. I didn't expect that buying has arrived in Shuangtang county and set up a bison array outside Xuangu pass..."
Before he finished, Tang Yin waved impatiently and interrupted, "how did you fight this war? You don't need to repeat it. Now, you call the troops immediately and follow me to attack Xuangu pass!"
"This..." Xiao MuQing grinned secretly. The king had just suffered a big defeat and managed to escape from Shuangtang county. Now he has to attack again. I'm afraid he will still lose more and win less!
Seeing the embarrassment on his face, Liang Qi laughed to himself. The king obviously couldn't stand down. Why do you really want to attack Xuangu pass again!
He stepped forward and arched his hand and said, "the King worked hard all the way and fought continuously. I'm afraid his body will be overwhelmed. I'd better rest for a few days. Xuangu pass is right there and won't run away with long legs. It's not too late to attack in a few days."
Tang Yin put on a look of serious thinking and pondered for a while. Fang nodded slowly and said reluctantly, "you're right. Let's take a break for two days and fight the old thief buying another day!"
Liang Qi bowed and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is wise!"
In the first battle of Xuangu pass, the Feng army suffered a great loss, lost a whole main army of the Feng army, and the total strength of the Feng army was sharply reduced from 400000 to 300000. So far, the Feng army has no advantage over the Sichuan army in terms of military strength.
When the number of people is not dominant and there are operations in different places, it is not as easy to move forward and go deep into the hinterland of Sichuan as it was at the beginning.
Now, the state of Sichuan has recovered from the shock of the sudden invasion of the wind army. The local army and the family army have begun to gather quickly to build a defense line. In addition, the 200000 Central Army led by Bu Ying has also arrived in Shuangtang County, which reassures the local army and local officials of the state of Sichuan.
What is more disadvantageous to the Fengjun is that with the spread of the news that buying led reinforcements to Leize County, which had been occupied by the Fengjun, there began a large-scale rebellion. Those Sichuan troops who had surrendered to the Fengjun turned their spears and laid knives behind the Fengjun.
Among them, the rebellion in Shimen city was the most serious. The surrendered Sichuan army defected collectively, and the people in the same city surrounded and killed all the wind troops stationed in Shimen city.
Shimen is the county city of Leize county. The wind army regards it as its base camp to go south. All materials and grain and grass are stored in Shimen. The news of the fall of Shimen suddenly came, which is undoubtedly the heaviest blow to the wind army.
After receiving the news that Shimen was recovered by the Sichuan army, the generals came to see Tang Yin to discuss their next countermeasures and deployment.
In the account of the Chinese army, experienced Xiao MuQing said bluntly: "Your Majesty, now the weather, geography and people are not on our side. If you force it down again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed."
When Tang Yin heard the speech, his eyebrows immediately twisted into a pimple and asked, "Mu Qing, what do you mean by that? Do you want me to withdraw?"
"Your Majesty, when Shimen was lost, all the food and grass of our army were lost, and the supply line was cut off. The rations of the whole army are less than half a month. If we fight again, I'm afraid we will... Repeat the mistakes of Feiyu Army..."
When Xiao MuQing finished speaking, Tang Yin's anger suddenly hit his forehead. He waved his hand on the table and shouted angrily, "are you afraid?"
"The last general will fight with the king on the battlefield. He has fought more than a hundred big and small battles. Why should the last general ever be afraid? Just... Just this time, China is not well prepared to send troops to Sichuan. The only advantage is to be unprepared, attack unprepared and take the country by surprise. But now the time is lost, and there is no result if he is willing to fight. He should withdraw troops earlier!"
Tang Yin slowly clenched his fist, turned his eyes, looked at Liang Qi and Qingyu, and asked, "is that what you two mean?"
Qingyu silently bowed his head, and Liang Qi said, "Your Majesty, what General Xiao said is very true. Now our army has lost its fighters, retreated earlier, and there are fewer casualties among the soldiers."
If only Xiao MuQing said so, Tang Yin can also say that he made a mistake in judgment, but now even Liang Qi and Qingyu agree with him. Tang Yin has nothing to say.
He looked like a deflated ball. He looked up to the sky and sighed. Youyou said, "if we withdraw troops like this, how can we afford those soldiers who shed blood on the battlefield and buried their bones in a foreign land..."
Hearing his exclamation, Qingyu's eyes were red and his tears almost fell. Xiao MuQing and Liang Qi looked at each other. The former said positively, "Your Majesty, the sacrifice of the soldiers is valuable. At least it provides us with the experience of fighting in Sichuan."
