Chapter 408 Great Victory
In a decisive battle, once the entire line is defeated and its momentum is suppressed, there is no possibility of a turnaround.
And hundreds of thousands of people, the front line is so long, and it can be imagined when they are defeated.
On the vast plain, dust was flying, and the Yan army was defeated like a mountain, throwing its helmets and abandoning its armor all the way.
And this pursuit lasted for more than two hundred miles, running day and night, and countless Yan troops were attacked along the way, and they drove Yue Zheng to Xinxiang. Xiao Yuan gave up.
The latter was almost angry when he was in a panic and gritted his teeth and said, "The King of Qin is hateful! He bullied me too much!"
On the Qin army, they were chasing continuously, and the soldiers above and below were exhausted. Xiao Yuan immediately ordered to set up camp for 40 miles away from Xinxiang to rest.
After this battle, the Yan army suffered heavy losses, especially the right wing of the battlefield, which was almost destroyed. The troops directly lost in the war were as high as 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers. I don’t know how many soldiers were fled along the way and were dispersed.
In Xinxiang City, the conference hall.
The Yan army generals were all dejected and looked embarrassed. Many people had not had time to clean their armor, and there were many stains on their faces.
Yue Zheng's situation was not much better than them. He clenched his fists hard, tried to suppress his anger, and asked in a deep voice: "Have you counted it all?"
When the deputy general heard this, he swallowed his saliva first, and then said carefully: "Back to the commander Yue, our army has less than 150,000 troops..."
As he said that, he quickly added: "But there are many soldiers running away along the way, and it won't take long to find this place."
Even if those who were broken back to the base camp, there might not be much. Yue Zheng knew this number in his mind.
He couldn't help but close his eyes deeply, then took a deep breath and said, "Let's guard in Xinxiang first, but this place is not a place to stay for a long time. King Xiao Yuan of Qin will not take long, and he will lead his army to attack."
"Yes...Yes, our army's food and supplies..." The deputy general said tentatively.
"Our army is fighting locally! Just let the rear send it away!" Yue Zheng scolded him angrily, as if he had nowhere to vent his anger.
The deputy general immediately shrank his neck, and he didn't dare to speak.
On the other side, the coalition forces temporary camp.
The camp here has not been built yet, and the troops escorting the baggage behind have not arrived yet, but there are still simple and convenient camps.
After this great victory, the generals of Qin and Xuan in the tent were all excited. King Xuan had even brighter eyes, looked at Xiao Yuan and said with a smile:
"In the decisive battle, Yue Zheng's defeat was like a mountain of defeat. All of these depend on the deployment of Brother Wang."
"Oh? Wang Mei is so serious. I have to thank Wang Mei for her trust in this battle. If there is no Xuan Army, it is difficult to win. We will cooperate with each other. We will not be able to do anything without any side. The credit will be the same." Xiao Yuan
Wave your hands.
In fact, the Qin army naturally had more contributions, because head-on battles were fought by the Qin army, and the Xuan army only played a role in cooperating with the encirclement and suppression, but without them, it was really not possible.
When he was so humble, King Xuan continued to smile and said, "Brother Wang is too humble, but I don't know what plans are next."
Xiao Yuan thought for a while and said, "Don't rush to attack Xinxiang first, just hold Yue Zheng. This great victory has laid the foundation for the victory of the Allied Army. Wang Mei, you and me, should immediately pass on the letter to the King of Spirit to encourage
The Spirit Army approaches Yandu!”
"Okay!" King Xuan agreed simply.
A few days later, the Lingjun camp.
The letters from Xiao Yuan and King Xuan were sent by Lin Chu's orders at the same time.
In the tent, the generals of the Ling Army gathered together and stood in the left and right.
King Ling was in the position of commander, first reading King Xuan's letters, and then reading Xiao Yuan's.
In the letter, King Xuan told him briefly that Qin Xuan won the decisive battle, Yue Zheng's main force was defeated, and had arrived in Xinxiang, and urged him to march quickly to free the siege of Liang army.
And in Xiao Yuan's letter, there was a faint warning smell.
How could the King of Spirit not see the meaning of the letter? If he doesn't march, the King of Qin will settle the score with him.
Although the Spirit King is not afraid of Xiao Yuan, he will never offend him easily.
After reading the two letters, he also put them back, then looked around for a while, and said straight to the point: "These two letters were written by the King of Qin and King Xuan. The Qin Xuan coalition forces have defeated Yue Zheng and urged me to
The flames are all in progress.”
Hearing this, the generals in the tent looked at each other first, and then Huang Zu said, "King, if this is the case, we may not be able to speak up if we do not advance."
The Spirit King glanced at him and smiled slightly, "Of course we have to march, and we must approach Yandu. At this time, the Spirit Army can no longer stagnate."
"After all the nations and alliances, they will attack Yan Kingdom. If Yan is destroyed, then the military achievements will be expressed. The Liang army is the first to break through the Sishui Pass, and it will go deeper and restrain the Yan army from 200,000. This is not the case.
People can argue.”
"Qin Xuan, Yu Lushan, annihilated Li Po and defeated Yue Zheng, and defeated the main force of the Yan army. He was on the front battlefield and the contribution was definitely the greatest."
"Now, there is only the Ling Kingdom. If I don't do anything, how can I fight for land?"
As he said that, he said again: "I want to go deep into the hinterland of Yan Kingdom, reach Yandu, and the troops are at the city, forcing the remaining main forces of Yue Zheng and Shucheng to return to help."
"At that time, if the Liang army rescues the siege, Qin Xuan will definitely arrive in Yandu from the front."
"This is a final conclusion and the victory is completely established. The Ling Kingdom will naturally take this credit."
After all, the Spirit King was waiting for this day.
It can be imagined that in the end, the Spirit Army suffered the least losses, but it played an absolute role.
He didn't make much discussion at all, and soon issued a military order. Then the Ling Army began to launch a fierce attack on the city gate ahead.
Originally, there were only some local troops in the city ahead, who were worried all day long, fearing that the Spirit Army would attack one day, and once it was fought at this time, it would be useless for two days and would be defeated on the entire line.
There was no regular army here to resist, and the Ling army was unstoppable and advanced rapidly. In just half a month, it had penetrated deep into the heart of Yan Kingdom and directly reached Yandu.
At this time, the news of Yue Zheng's defeat had naturally been passed back to the Yan Kingdom court. In addition to the movements of the Spirit Army, the Yan King was suddenly a little panicked.
At present, the regular army of Yan Kingdom has been dispatched to the front line, who can defend the capital?
There is no doubt that after unanimous advice from a group of ministers, the first person to mobilize back to the capital was Shucheng.
There were 180,000 Yan Army there. A few days later, the general of the army received the order from the monarch. There was no way, and he could not surround the Liang army, so he had to choose to return to the capital.
