Chapter 616
Thirty thousand people were defeated and less than 300 people were left. Since Tang Yin raised his army, the Feng army had never suffered such a defeat. At this time, Guantang would rather Tang Yin beat him, scolded him or even killed him. At least he could feel better. latest chapter. Guan Tang said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty..."
"Ah, go down!" Tang Yin raised his eyes and winked at the guards on the left and right. The two guards immediately stepped forward, supported Guan Tang, and said politely: "General Guan, I will take you to heal your injuries."
Seeing Guan Tang being helped away by the guards, Tang Yin turned his head and looked at the other side again. The battle on the west bank has come to an end, and a large number of Ning troops are seen pouring out of the woods, giving the final blow to the remaining Feng troops.
At this time, Xiao Muqing approached Tang Yin and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, this battle...will our army fight again?"
"Why continue to fight?" Tang Yin glanced at Xiao Muqing and asked in a serious voice: "Don't you think there are not enough soldiers killed today?"
Xiao Muqing winced, rolled his eyes, and said pointedly: "Although it was a big defeat today, fortunately, the king was wise and sent new troops to fight in the front line, so the main force of our army was not damaged."
This is the only thing that can make everyone feel slightly relieved. The new army is mainly composed of newly recruited Ning people. If the new army wins, it will naturally benefit itself. However, if the new army loses, it will not matter. It will not have much impact on one's own combat power.
Tang Yin stared at Xiao Muqing for a moment. He was so upset that he didn't say anything. He just waved and said: "Withdraw the troops!" After saying that, he waved and asked the guards to bring the war horses. After riding on the horses, he thought of something again and said quietly: "Wait a minute. After the Ning army withdraws, try to recover the bodies of the fallen soldiers. The fallen leaves must be returned to their roots!"
"Yes! Your Majesty! I will understand." Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi and others all bowed and saluted.
Not long after, all the battles on the west bank of the Zhang River were over. Ning's army returned victorious and high-spirited, while Feng's army was as wilted as eggplants beaten by frost. The number of casualties in this battle was close to 30,000. In addition, the baggage, grain and grass transported by the Feng Army became the trophies of the Ning Army, including large-scale crossbows such as the city-breaking crossbow and the army-breaking crossbow that the Feng army was proud of. arms.
After watching Ning Jun retreat, Feng Jun sent out a corpse collection team, flying a white flag, and took a small raft with only a few remaining to salvage the corpses on the other side. On the battlefield, there were piles of corpses. There were dead soldiers of the Feng Army in the river and on the shore. The bloody river water dyed the entire river red. It was shocking and made people feel hairy after seeing it.
Some of the 30,000 corpses could be found, but some had already sunk to the bottom of the river or floated away with the water, leaving no place to look for them. In the end, the Feng Army's corpse collection team only brought back more than 10,000 corpses. The Feng army who had returned from the defeat carried the corpses of their comrades, all of them were dejected and silently walked towards the camp in a listless way.
The new army is mainly composed of Ning people, but there must still be Feng people among them. Seeing the tragic death of the brothers in the battle makes no one feel good. I don’t know who took the lead in singing the Feng song. Soon, the grief spread to the entire army, and more than 100,000 Feng soldiers sang the Feng Kingdom’s military song in unison.
"When the country is in trouble, I will go to war and wrap my body in horse leather to strengthen my majesty!"
The wind song was unusually low at the beginning, but gradually became louder. This is the magic of wind song and the foundation of the country of wind. It can always turn the soldiers' grief into grief and anger, and into strength, so that they can devote themselves to the next battle. During the battle. Unyielding, good at fighting, becoming more courageous with every setback, this is the tradition of Feng people.
On the way back to Fengying, Letian caught up with Tang Yin, his lips moved, as if he was hesitant to speak. Tang Yin squinted his eyes, looked forward, and said expressionlessly: "If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't hesitate."
Letian took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, three of Wang Hai's brothers died in Ning Ren's hands."
Hearing this, Tang Yin turned back, looked at Letian, and said, "What do you mean by these words now?"
Letian said seriously: "So, Wang Hai will not betray. Even if he betrays, he will never betray Ning Guo."
"..." Tang Yin didn't answer, and he didn't want to believe that his subordinates would commit treason, but facts spoke louder than words.
Letian pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice: "I wonder if the king still remembers the random changes that the general said?"
Hearing the words "random change", Tang Yin had a flash of inspiration in his mind and asked: "You mean... the Wang Hai who came back to report was not the real Wang Hai, but the phantom of the Linglong girl?"
Letian sighed and said: "This is the only explanation that makes sense. If the general guessed correctly, the brothers sent to the west coast to investigate had already been killed or captured by Ningren, and Wang Hai was among them. . And Miss Linglong used random transformation to look like Wang Hai and deceive our army."
Tang Yin shook his head in disbelief and said, "Wang Hai was not wearing a military uniform or armor when he came ashore. He was just wearing a wet suit!" In modern terms, a wet suit is a diving suit, which is an elastic tight suit. If Wang Hai was wearing military uniform or armor, he might be able to use the clothes as a cover to hide his female features. But at that time, he was wearing close-fitting clothes like Shuiyi. How could he hide his female features? He and the many soldiers present were not blind.
Letian understood what Tang Yin meant, and he said: "Your Majesty, the general has said that random change can not only change a person's appearance, but also his body shape."
"You mean, with this skill, a woman can become a man?"
"That's right!"
"Hehe!" Tang Yin smiled, but it was a bitter smile. He looked up, sighed, and said, "Even if Wang Hai was dressed as Miss Linglong, how did she know that our army chose to attack here?"
Letian replied, "My king, Miss Linglong is ever-changing, and it is easy for her to blend into our army. Our army has gathered here and has been waiting for so long. She has plenty of time to swim to the other side to report the news, and then turn back from the other side."
This explanation is reasonable, but things have become more troublesome. If what Letian said is true, then Miss Linglong must have colluded with the Ning army. In addition, she can change randomly, which is a skill that makes people hard to guard against. She can easily blend into our army. In the future, every move of our army will be exposed to the surveillance of the Ning army. How can we fight this battle?
It would have been better if Letian didn't explain to Tang Yin. After hearing his explanation, Tang Yin became even more upset. He would rather Wang Hai betrayed the country than Miss Linglong sneaking in under his nose and making trouble.
When he returned to the camp, before he reached the central army tent, he saw Yuan Fang walking towards him quickly. Behind him, there were several guards who were sent to "protect" him.
Yuan Fang's face was full of concern. He walked up to Tang Yin, bowed deeply, and then asked anxiously: "My king, I heard that our army had a bad start in this battle?"
Tang Yin didn't trust Yuan Fang, so he didn't take him to the battle of crossing the river this time. He glanced at Yuan Fang, shook his head slightly, and said absent-mindedly while walking towards the tent: "The new army soldiers were almost wiped out."
Yuan Fang took a breath of cold air. Although he had not joined the Feng Army for a long time, he also knew that the new army had a total of 30,000 people. What kind of battle could lead to the annihilation of 30,000 soldiers? This was incredible. He stood there for a long while before coming to his senses. He turned around and chased Tang Yin. He wanted to continue asking questions, but Le Tian reached out and pulled him back, whispering, "Mr. Yuan Fang, the king is in a bad mood now. Don't bother the king anymore."
"Ah! That's right!" Yuan Fang thought about it, nodded weakly, paused for a moment, bowed deeply to Le Tian, and said, "Thank you, General Le, for reminding me."
"Mr. Yuan Fang, you're polite." Le Tian returned the greeting with a bow.
Watching Yuan Fang return to his tent with a dejected look on his face, Le Tian suddenly remembered something and reached out to stop a guard who was about to leave, suggesting that he follow him into the tent. Le Tian entered the tent with the guards, first glanced at Tang Yin, and then asked, "Brother, during the time when the king was away fighting, has Mr. Yuan Fang left the camp?"
Hearing this, Tang Yin, who had been thinking with his head down, raised his head and looked at the guard.
The guard didn't even think about it, shook his head and said, "No! Not to mention leaving the camp, he didn't even leave the tent. Mr. Yuan Fang left the tent only after hearing that the king had returned."
Letian frowned and asked, "How can you be so sure?"
The guard said, "We have been guarding around Mr. Yuan Fang's tent, and Brother Li has been playing chess with Mr. Yuan Fang in the tent."
"Brother Li?"
"Ah! It's Li Si."
Tang Yin nodded and said, "Li Si is indeed a guard sent out by me."
Letian saluted Tang Yin, and then said to the guard Said: "Okay, I know, you go back quickly!"
"Yes! I'll take my leave!"
After the guards left, Tang Yin looked at Le Tian strangely and asked: "Why? Do you suspect Yuan Fang is Miss Linglong?"
Le Tian nodded, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "I do have some suspicions about this person, but the guards have proved that he has not left the tent, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with him."
"Yes!" Tang Yin also suspected Yuan Fang, but he only suspected whether his surrender was sincere, but he did not doubt whether he was Miss Linglong. On the day of the assassination, he fought with Miss Linglong. Although he ran away, Miss Linglong must have been chasing him behind him and could not run ahead of him.
Tang Yin closed his eyes a little tiredly and said to Le Tian: "Wait for the generals to return to the camp and tell them not to come to me. I want to rest quietly now."
"Yes! King!" Le Tian responded carefully, and then slowly left the tent.
Tang Yin leaned his arm on the table and gently stroked his aching forehead. He had no idea what to do with Miss Longling, an enemy that he could see but could not touch or find. He had no plan to deal with it. It was like a poisonous thorn that was nailed to his heart. He could not pull it out, and it would be fatal if he did not pull it out.
What should he do? With this person, he could not cross the Zhang River, defeat the Ning army, and even Hedong might be lost. Just one enemy made him so embarrassed. It was far from being as simple as he imagined to destroy Ning. At this time, Tang Yin really realized that his original idea was too optimistic. The huge Ning Kingdom was far from being so easy to conquer and annex.
