C1567

After removing Liu Zhang and the rest from their predicament, Pingyuan Army did not immediately send them back to the city. Instead, they continued to move westward towards the interior of Biar.

At the same time, Xiao Muqing had also sent back a message to Huan Country, requesting them to temporarily transfer twenty thousand People of Huan Country's local troops, and also asking them to bring more guides for understanding the topography of the Biar.

If one didn't understand the terrain, it was equivalent to closing their eyes and fighting a battle. They would never be able to win.

Ten days later, the reinforcements sent by Huan Country met up at the same place and along the way, they replenished their Pingyuan Army's military assets as well. After that, Xiao Muqing gave the order to stop advancing at a slow pace and advance at full speed.

Pingyuan Army advanced all the way, and in less than twenty days of time, he had already gathered the three cities of Budun Mountain, Dairiki, and Flower Lake. Next, he had already neared the nation of Biar, the capital, Tega.

Right now, his Pingyuan Army was still over two hundred and fifty kilometers away from Tegaya. According to the speed of the ordinary legions, they would still need three days to reach Tegaya.

In regards to the Biar, they had to urgently dispatch troops from various places, in order to gather a large army here to fight to the death with the Pingyuan Army.

However, the Biar side of them never expected that Pingyuan Army would actually arrive in Tegaya in a day's time. When the sky gradually brightened and the city guards looked outside, the Pingyuan Army had already reached an unbelievable level.

To many people, it was impossible to do it no matter how they looked at it. However, Pingyuan Army had coincidentally done it, and it was as if the entire legion had suddenly dropped from the sky to the front of Tegaya City.

Tegaya City wasn't well-prepared and had to engage in a hasty battle. It could be said that from the very beginning, they had been forced into a passive state.

Seeing that the offensive of the Pingyuan Army was getting fiercer and fiercer and the defending troops were finding it harder and harder to defend, under the circumstances that he was forced to do so, the Biar King Pawila sent an envoy to deliver the Capitulation to the Pingyuan Army and wrote a letter to Xiao Muqing personally.

His main intention was to persuade Xiao Muqing not to hit him again. He had already accepted the position of Biar, and in the future, he would definitely not violate the Feng Country again.

Regarding the Biar, the reply Xiao Muqing gave him was only two words: Not accepted. You were the one who started the war, but now that the war is at a tight end, you don't want to fight anymore. How can you start the war just because you want to and end it just because you want to?

Xiao Muqing ordered the entire army to continue attacking the city. No matter what, they had to take down Tegaya before the sky darkened.

Right now, the garrison army of Tegaya City was only around twenty thousand people. No matter how strong the city was, or how easy it was to defend against, it was still unable to withstand the Feng Army of over a hundred thousand people.

Pavila was the first one who could not sit still, and he had to abandon the capital, bring along his family, ministers, and Personal Guard, and flee from the west side of the city in a panic.

As the king fled, Tegaya's garrison lost even faster. When the battle finally ended in the afternoon, the walls of the East of City were finally broken through.

A large number of Feng Army poured into the city from outside the city. The people from Wind Man, who had killed to the point of being bloodshot, were even more brutal than the people from Biar.

After entering the city, they didn't even care if the other party was a soldier or an ordinary citizen. They would kill anyone they saw, rob anyone they saw. They would not let go of those large objects or buildings that they had to move away from, and they would set them on fire.

In a short while, the enormous Biar city of Tegya was engulfed in flames, as if it had turned into a sea of fire. Blood flowed everywhere in the city, and corpses and severed limbs littered the ground.

After finding out that the king of Biar fled towards the west of the city, the 'student army' led by Liu Zhang, Bai An, Yan Yan, Xu You and the others immediately chased out of the city. They did not hate the king of the Biar that much, but they simply could not stay in the city anymore.

Of course, they could not stop it. This was war, this was the cruelty of war, and when the Biar Army had invaded the Cyan Forest Region, they had done the same thing.

She didn't discover any trace of the other party. Because of the lesson from last time, they didn't dare to blindly chase after her, and immediately called back their troops.

The hundreds of thousands of nobles, commoners, and slaves within the city were all killed and buried within the sea of flames. There were also a large number of women and children who were captured by the Pingyuan Army and brought back to the Feng Country as spoils of war.

After burning Tegaya down, Xiao Muqing heard that the tombs of the previous kings of Biar were right around Tegaya. Without even thinking about it, he immediately passed down the order to dig out the graves to plunder the wealth.

Such a barbaric method, made Liu Zhang and the others feel that it was too much. Killing people would only be a piece of cake, since the king of the Biar had already escaped, why dig the grave of his ancestors?

Xiao Muqing answered bluntly. Since his own country's treasury was empty, where did the military expenditure come from? Of course it was the wool that came from the sheep.

If they couldn't get the military expenditures from this war, couldn't make up for the losses of their country's Cyan Forest County, and couldn't earn enough benefits, then what was the point in fighting this war?

War required money to be earned, not lost money. This was a consistent tradition and a code of conduct for Feng Army. Hearing Xiao Muqing's words, Liu Zhang and the rest were speechless.

Following that, the Pingyuan Army began a large-scale excavation and plundering of the Biar's Ancestral Mausoleum, robbing all of the treasures in each mausoleum.

Sensing that the amount of gold, silver and jewelry that they had plundered was more or less enough, Xiao Muqing gave the order, and the entire army retreated. On the way back to the Feng Country, they wantonly plundered, slaughtered and destroyed all the towns along the way.2

In Xiao Muqing's words, they should either not fight or cripple their Biar once and for all. This made them unable to invade the Feng Country border for the next ten or twenty years and their only choice was to recover their vitality.

This long distance rush of Pingyuan Army had indeed caused considerable injuries to his Biar.

Not only was the capital destroyed, there were also the Ancestral Tomb and more than ten towns. There were not many casualties among the troops, around a hundred thousand, while the number of civilians killed was over a million. There were also tens of thousands of women and children captured and taken as slaves in the Feng Country.

Just the carriages that carried the spoils of their war were divided into more than ten batches, and each batch had a carriage numbers between two hundred to three hundred. The last batch had all returned to the Zhenjiang with Pingyuan Army, and there were five hundred carriages in total.

Putting all the spoils together, it would be more than a foot tall. The abundance of the spoils of war left Tang Yin speechless.

In order to display the results of the Feng Army battle, in order to increase the pride, confidence and cohesion of the citizens, Tang Yin even ingeniously ordered the construction of an exhibition hall in the Zhenjiang. He also displayed some exquisite spoils of war to the public.

Constructing an exhibition hall was considered the first time it was built, but to Tang Yin, it was nothing new.

Because he had reaped great rewards from the battle with the Biar, Tang Yin, who had tasted the sweetness, immediately showed his warlike nature. He had the class return Pingyuan Army s to rest, and on the other hand, he ordered Liang Qi to be the leader of the group to continue the battle with the Biar. He did not have a goal or focus to attack, and only had one goal, which was to plunder and fill the empty national treasury.

From Tang Yin's point of view, the revenue from governing the country was not as bountiful as that of waging a war against outsiders.

He didn't expect that Feng Country would be like a wolf, moreover, it was an extremely vicious and greedy hungry wolf. Even though they didn't want to, and didn't dare to provoke Feng Country anymore, the ferocious Feng Army still came attacking one after another.

Tang Yin was extremely excited about the battle with the Pingyuan Army, he specially invited Xiao Muqing to explain to him the details of the battle as well as the performance of Liu Zhang and the rest on the battlefield.

Xiao Muqing narrated in detail, and at the end, he praised the performance of the 'student army', especially Liu Zhang. In his opinion, this person was a natural born general.

Tang Yin laughed while listening to it. In his memory, Xiao Muqing had never praised anyone so much before. He said: "Look at the reports that have been sent back, Liu Zhang acted on his own to kill the enemy, and in the end, he made a huge mistake and almost caused the entire army to be annihilated."

"There is indeed such a thing, but this general can only say that ? There's no way we can hide the truth. " Xiao Muqing said in a serious tone: "Experience, tactics, and strategy can all be grasped through training in the Pre-Sky Realm. However, on the battlefield, one's keen sense of smell, ability to control airplanes, and character to advance bravely are natural, these are things that you can't even learn in the Pre-Sky Realm. It just so happens that Liu Zhang has these."

It was rare that Xiao Muqing would praise someone so highly. Tang Yin looked at him with a smile and said, "In that case, I really picked the right person back then."

"Yes, my lord. Actually, this lowly general also had the heart to keep him by his side. If one day ? This lowly general is not in the army, but Liu Zhang can still receive Pingyuan Army's Flag! "

After hearing that, the smile on Tang Yin's face instantly disappeared, and his expression became gloomy as he asked: "If you're not in the army, then where are you? Pingyuan Army was something that you forged single-handedly, and was also the legion that I trust the most to entrust with this most important mission. Even if you are seventy years old or eighty, you still have to give me a position! "

Even though Tang Yin's words were rude and unreasonable, Xiao Muqing was incomparably touched. As an official, to be able to receive such trust and reliance from the King, could be considered as having no regrets in this life.

He lowered his head and said, "Didn't the King always say that jars never leave the mouth of the well, and that generals inevitably die before the battle ?"

Even the powerful Wu Guang was injured in front of the formation, how could he be hurt?

"That's for others, not you!" Tang Yin stood up immediately and walked over to Xiao Muqing. Then, he slowly squatted down and said faintly: "Although the two of us are monarchs, I have always treated you as my old brother. You helped me beat down the rivers and mountains in the Feng Country;

Hearing that, Xiao Muqing was moved, his eyes immediately reddened, he got up and kneeled, and said with a trembling voice: "With your majesty's words, even if this general dies, this lowly general will not refuse!"
