Listening to Tang Yin''s words, the generals present felt a pain in their hearts, and many people shed tears.
Tang Yin looked at the crowd and said, "I don''t want you to risk taking back the bodies of the dead brothers now, but to remember that tens of thousands of our brothers were buried here in Surabaya. Today we will withdraw, but one day, we will come back. Otherwise, how can the tens of thousands of heroes rest in peace?"
"King..." the generals were sad and angry. Tears filled their eyes and their fists clucked.
Lingshuang sighed. After all, Tang Yin still chose to retreat. However, even if he withdrew, he didn''t forget to bury the seeds of revenge in the hearts of the soldiers to prepare for another invasion to the south in the future. Tang Yin seems irritable and impulsive, but in fact he has far-reaching plans.
Tang Yin couldn''t be more clear about his side''s situation. It''s impossible to resist the Tianwei army of Mo and the 300000 main army behind by relying on these disabled soldiers and defeated generals. Not only can he defend the city, I''m afraid Jin''an can''t defend it. With this withdrawal, his side is likely to withdraw directly from Surabaya and fight to the death with Mo army in Anqiu County.
He took a deep breath, turned to Qiu Zhen and said, "pass it to Zuo Shuang immediately and let general Zuo Shuang mobilize the flying dragon army to assemble in Anqiu."
Qiu Zhen was shocked and asked, "is the king ready to fight the Mozambican army in Anqiu?"
Tang Yin asked, "otherwise, can I give Anqiu away?"
Qiu Zhen looked straight and said, "Anqiu is a plain wasteland, which is very conducive to cavalry combat. I''m afraid... It''s bad for our army to fight a decisive battle with the Mozambican army in Anqiu!"
Tang Yin said in a positive tone, "if it''s bad, you have to fight! Retreating to Anqiu is my bottom line. I''ll never give in!"
"But the king..."
"Stop talking. I''ve made up my mind." Tang Yin waved and interrupted Qiu Zhen.
Qiu Zhen frowned. At last, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth and arched his hands and said, "yes, sir!"
Qiu Zhen can also understand Tang Yin''s current mood. The original situation was very good and victorious. As a result, because the main force of Mozambique withdrew, the situation was reversed in an instant. Anyone would feel depressed and oppressed.
If Anqiu is allowed to go out, his side can only retreat to Xishan county. The great advantage he has previously laid and so many sites he has occupied will disappear. Tang Yin could not accept such a result, and presumably all the soldiers could not accept it.
Forced by the strength of the Tianwei army of Mo state, Tang Yin''s direct army did not dare to resist its edge. It withdrew again and again, first withdrew from Yicheng, and then went north to withdraw to Jin''an.
Here, Feng Jun is facing another problem. If we continue to retreat northward and return to Anqiu County, Tianwei army is likely to take advantage of the situation and catch up with the wind army at the speed of Mo cavalry. However, the flying dragon army led by Zuo Shuang has not been assembled in Anqiu, and it will take at least more than ten days. How will the wind army deal with Tianwei army during this period?
At this time, Zhan Peng and Wei Xuaner volunteered to ask Tang Yin to lead 10000 soldiers to stay in Jin''an and block the Tianwei army of Mo, which can not only cover Tang Yin''s retreat, but also create time for the assembly of the flying dragon army.
Everyone knows that staying in Jin''an now is a dead end. The people of Jin''an will never help the wind army in defense. It is lucky that there is no chaos in the city, and there is no reinforcements outside. They have to compete with 200000 Tianwei army. Even 10000 iron men can''t resist it.
Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan can be regarded as Tang Yin''s favorite generals. The latter has no heart to let them take this risk, but there is really no good plan except this method. In a critical moment, it is also helpless to break the tail to survive, sacrifice a small part and preserve the vast majority.
After repeated thinking, Tang Yin finally nodded and agreed, leaving Zhan Peng, Wei Xuan and 10000 directly subordinate soldiers. He led others to withdraw to Anqiu County.
Jin''an''s urban defense is very strong. If there is no great difference in the military strength between the two sides, it is entirely possible to fight a war. However, there are only 10000 people in Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan, while Tianwei army has as many as 200000, a difference of 20 times. The combat power is not at the same level at all.
The main force led by Tang Yin had just withdrawn from Jin''an. Less than a day later, Tianwei army arrived like a whirlwind.
At this time, Tianwei army also got the news that the main force of the wind army withdrew to Anqiu, leaving only a small number of troops stationed in Jin''an. They thought that Jin''an would be as easy to fight as Tongchuan. After arriving, they didn''t even stop, so they immediately attacked the city.
Tianwei army is a cavalry Corps. There are no large siege weapons in the army and they can''t carry them. The only thing that can be used in the siege is the ladder. When they attacked the city, the cavalry dismounted, and the soldiers climbed up the top of the city completely along the ladder, trying to directly break through the wind army''s defense line with superior forces.
Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan personally commanded the battle on the head of the city and fought fiercely with the Mo army who attacked the city. The battle between the two sides lasted nearly a day. The Tianwei army not only failed to break through the line of defense of the wind army, but also suffered huge losses. Finally, it was dark and had no choice but to withdraw.
After a whole day of fighting, Tianwei army was surprised to realize that although there were few defenders in Jin''an, the resistance was very tenacious and the combat effectiveness was extremely amazing.
Shi Hanyu, commander of Tianwei army, changed his tactics. Instead of blindly attacking, he used harassment tactics. He assigned a small group of troops to feint around the clock to kill the fighting spirit of the garrison. When the will and physical strength of the garrison are almost exhausted, he will attack the city with all his strength.
The feint of Tianwei army lasted two days and two nights, and then, under the command of Shi Hanyu, launched a full-scale attack on Jin''an again.
However, the resistance of the wind army in the city was still strong, which drove back the offensive of Tianwei army wave after wave. After a whole day of fierce battle, Tianwei army was simply returned by the wind army.
Shi Hanyu was also greatly annoyed that a mere ten thousand people stationed in Jin''an city was so difficult to fight that 200000 troops could not cross the minefield half a step. The latter immediately issued a death order. The whole army was divided into four parts and attacked in turn. The city was not broken and the attack was not stopped. Even if people were used to fill in and consume people, they had to break Jin''an.
Then, after two days and nights of continuous fierce fighting, the wind troops in Jin''an city suffered heavy casualties. In the end, even the seriously wounded soldiers with broken arms and legs went to the head of the city to participate in the war. However, they were outnumbered. Jin''an was still attacked by Tianwei army without remembering casualties.
Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan, two generals, had already been hurt all over. They took the remnant back to the city master''s house in the city. They would rather die than surrender and continue to fight. The battle between the two sides has become the center of the small city.
Under the tenacious resistance of the wind army, Mo army rushed up and fell down. Even Shi Hanyu, who was watching the war, was surprised. Everyone said that the wind army was strong and fierce, just like the division of tigers and wolves. It was true to see it today.
The resistance of the wind army in the city Lord''s residence has been fought until the bow and arrow are broken, and the weapons are all broken. Finally, Wei Xuan died, Zhan Peng killed himself, all 10000 wind troops were killed, and no one was captured alive by the Mo army.
The battle was extremely fierce. On the contrary, the Tianwei army on the siege side did not take much advantage. It attacked a city defended by only 10000 people, but paid more than 20000 casualties.
In Mo state, this war was recorded as Jin''an counterattack war. In Feng state, this war was recorded as Jin''an bloody war. During this war, the Feng army lost two generals Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan. After this war, the influence of the Feng army in Surabaya was completely clear and the whole line was defeated back to Anqiu.
The deaths of Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan were not meaningless. They blocked the Tianwei army these days and won a lot of time for the assembly of the wind army. The 150000 flying dragon army led by Zuo Shuang rushed to Anqiu. With the arrival of the flying dragon army, the Tianwei army also lost its desire to go North immediately. They had to wait for the main army in the rear to keep up and fight with the wind army to the death.
Tianwei army is waiting for reinforcements, but the wind army is not without action. Zuo shuangchuan told the counties of Mozambique occupied by the wind country to send local troops to fight. He requisitioned 100000 troops for Xishan County alone. In addition, about 100000 people in Dongjiang, pengfeng and Zhengzhong counties were also recruited by him.
There are 200000 local troops in the four counties, plus 150000 of the flying dragon army, with a total force of nearly 400000. Interestingly, none of the nearly 400000 troops are Fengren, either Ningren or Mo people.
In any case, our army has finally gathered, and the decline of the wind army has been stabilized for the time being.
Tang Yin didn''t stop until he returned to Shangwan, the county city of Anqiu County, and lived in the county capital. Then he sent someone to inquire about the war in Jin''an. When he learned the result of the war in Jin''an, he didn''t respond at that time. He didn''t cry until he returned to his bedroom.
He asked Lotte and Aijia to send spies to Surabaya. No matter how much money they spent, they had to find a way to buy the bodies of Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan.
However, before Tianyan and the underground network took action, the Mo army returned the second general''s body first.
Shi Hanyu is still a very dignified commander of the first army. When Feng will be alive, he is his enemy, but he has been killed in battle. He doesn''t want to vent on Feng Jiang''s body. Moreover, from the heart, he also admires the loyalty of Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan.
After Tang Yin witnessed their bodies, he couldn''t help crying in public. As soon as he cried, the cries around him immediately rang out.
Whether or not they are familiar with Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan, they are sad about their deaths. It can be said that they are sacrificing their own lives to preserve the lives of their own people. How can the loss of such a loyal and courageous man not make people sad?
After crying bitterly, Tang Yin made people build a mourning platform on the outskirts of Shangwan on the spot to personally pay tribute to the heroes of the dead.
The wind army moved up and down, and built a large ten meter high platform in half a day at an incredible speed.
Since the Fengmo war, more than 200000 soldiers have been killed, including Zhan Peng, Wei Xuan, Lu Song, Tian Jia and others. At the beginning, Tang Yin issued the order to summon martial arts, and the first batch of excellent generals were selected, with a total of 16. In successive years of war, there are only nine left.
