The Omanis have withdrawn! And it was in a hurry to withdraw in front of the Matsue army!

Since the Nanfeng Fortress was a one-way defense, and there was no passage reserved on the south-facing side, even if the Matsue army wanted to rush out of the fortress and pursue it. {We don't write novels, we're just online text porters, and we can only watch as the Omanis incinerate the bodies of the soldiers killed in battle, pack up the camp, and disappear from sight with a large number of wounded soldiers.}

After calculating the time, although he had not received the news from the south, Chen Wu could probably guess what was happening.

Although it is not clear that the Omanis retreated in a hurry when they still had some strength to spare, there is no doubt that the Songjiang Army won the Second Tiannan War again. Compared to the last war, when the Nanfeng Fortress was captured, this time the Songjiang Army almost perfectly blocked the enemy from the defensive line. Even if a guard army landed in Ninghai County by sea, it would only affect Shuangyang Town, which was nothing compared to the destruction of half of Tiannan the year before last!

"Victory!"

"Long live the Matsue Army!"

Sure that the Omanis were really gone, the surviving soldiers all cheered. Even many mid- and lower-ranking officers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

So far in the battle, although the Songjiang Army still has a little remaining strength, it has also reached a very embarrassing point. Nearly 30,000 soldiers were killed and countless were wounded, making the overall battle loss rate more than a quarter. If it weren't for the support of the three elite Tiannan Legions, and the two batches of recruits from the emergency training department who were supplemented by succession, and also took advantage of the defense, I am afraid that it would have collapsed long ago. In the eyes of these officers, if the Omanis really launched another onslaught at any cost, maybe a week or a half, the fortress of Nanfeng might collapse completely.

After all, not everyone can accurately grasp the whole picture.

I also know the high-ranking generals who really know the war potential of the Kingdom of Oman and have a certain understanding of Chen Wu's backhand. Only then can we know that the Omanis do not want to fight, but they cannot fight and do not dare to continue fighting.

Compared with the military camp, which had become a sea of joy, Chen Wu's mood was much calmer.

Although he was also happy, he was not as strong as his subordinates, and there was even a little regret behind him. In the last battle of Tiannan, the defeat of the Omanis was actually the main force of the Tiannan army. Songjiang Jun just picked up a bargain. Considering that the Songjiang Army was founded at that time, even the five prefectures of Songjiang County had just succeeded, which is understandable. But this time the big war, the Songjiang army seemed to have won the war, but the Omanis were actually not defeated!

The Songjiang Army only relied on the defense line previously built by the empire to hold the Omani offensive. In fact, their military strength still has an absolute advantage over the Songjiang army.

Two big wars, two victories, but both of them are suspected of being tricky and going off the rails. It doesn't rely on strength to defeat a strong opponent in a dignified manner.

This is certainly not what he wants to see.

However, even so, Chen Wu was still sure of the importance of winning this war.

With two successive defeats, Qianyuanji's prestige must have suffered an unprecedented heavy blow. The national strength accumulated by the Kingdom of Oman over the years is only afraid that it will also regress significantly. In the next three to five years, I am afraid that Qianyuanji will not launch the Northern Expedition again. Or even if they still have thoughts about the Empire, they will consider changing their course and giving up continuing to storm the South Peak Fortress.

This means: For a long time to come, the absence of a strong enemy from the south will be the main threat to the Matsue Army, even if it will still contain a large number of troops in the Matsue Army.

Think about it. In less than two years, Chen Wu was able to expand from the original 10,000 or 20,000 people to the Six Masters in one go. If he was given a few more years, with the three counties of Songjiang in hand, Chen Wu could completely pull up a force several times the size of the current one. At that time, Mo said whether the Omanis would dare to attack the South Peak fortress again. Even if he honestly retreated to Koi Castle, Chen Wu might take the initiative to go south to find trouble for them!

After imagining the future, Chen Wu was in a good mood. He looked at the generals who had come to congratulate him, and gave orders to his guards. A big feast for the whole army!

Although it is limited to the military that alcohol cannot be drunk, good meat and good food are indispensable. Although the quartermaster in charge of the quartermaster was worried about this, the news spread, and the soldiers of the entire Nanfeng Fortress were all extremely excited, and even the mountain shouted Long live.

Although out of a little tacit understanding and a little hesitation, the soldiers did not name who it was, but this military spirit has been revealed. Even some high-ranking officers of the Tiannan Legion who were loyal to the empire only changed their faces slightly in this situation, but they didn't say anything. Everyone knows that the shape of the Eastern Continent is completely different from that of a few years ago.

Whose side is the future, it's really hard to say now!

………

Hundreds of Songjiang cavalry who had dug up the Feishawei fled north in panic, and the main force of more than 1,000 cavalry began to retreat slowly, preparing to return with the Ninghai Division, the cavalry of the annunciation left from the Nanfeng fortress and rushed all the way to the provinces and counties.

The real results of the battle are well known to the top brass of the Songjiang Army, and the propaganda to the ordinary people naturally does not have to be so. Before the accurate statistics came out, the Songjiang Army had already started active high-profile propaganda. Destroyed 100,000 enemies, seriously wounded and defeated countless Omani elites, forcing the 300,000 troops of the Omani Kingdom to have to return under the South Peak Fortress!

After defeating the murderous Omanis at the foot of Tianlong City two years ago, this time the Songjiang army under the command of Chen Wu once again achieved an unprecedented victory!

The news spread, and Tiannan County was boiling. Later, the Songjiang Army and Ninghai County also fell into a state of jubilation.

Although the "Songjiang Official Daily" has reported on the issue, it has played a decisive role in stabilizing people's hearts. But the gentry with brains are not fools, if the Songjiang army really won such big victories one after another, why didn't the Omanis, who saw no hope, evacuate and the battle lasted for half a year before it ended? But now, they have more or less doubts in their hearts, and they can finally rest assured.

It was also at the moment when the news was transmitted back to the three counties that the rule of Chen Wu and the Songjiang Army was completely consolidated on this land.

Hou Fangbai, who was the first to get the news, was the first to publish a supplement to the "Songjiang Official Daily", which reported and celebrated the victory of the Songjiang army, and ridiculed the retreating Omani army and Saladin. With this great prestige, the sales of Songjiang Official Newspaper soared by 2,000 copies, reaching the highest level since its inception -- the total sales reached a record-breaking 17,000 copies!

Relying on the three counties of Songjiang alone, it is a little impossible to digest so many newspapers. In fact, this sales volume of "Fengyue Tan" was dozens of times, and at least 10% of it was sold outside the territory of the Songjiang Army with the help of the power of various caravans.

Yuanshan County and Donghai County were the first major sites to accept the "Songjiang Official Daily".

Immediately afterwards, due to the secret transaction with the Songjiang Army, the eldest prince, the Song family, and the Lin family of Taiping County also noticed this newspaper. Later, the Imperial Military Intelligence Bureau brought the Songjiang Official Newspaper to the center of the imperial capital, bringing this groundbreaking newspaper into the field of vision of civil and military officials for the first time.

With Qian Yuanji's vision, he naturally saw the energy of this newspaper for the first time, and couldn't help but admire. not only ordered the center to establish a newspaper belonging to the empire, but also ordered Ji Junchen to send every issue of "Songjiang Official Daily" as soon as possible. Thanks to this, the results of the Second Tiannan War, along with the newly issued supplement of "Songjiang Official Daily", were sent to Qianyuanji's desk as soon as possible.

Prior to this, the Military Intelligence Bureau had actually received the news of the defeat of the Kingdom of Oman, but the specific situation was not known due to the blockade of the Songjiang Army. Hou Fangbai's supplement, although the content is often untrue, still has great value, but it has become the first-hand material for the imperial state to understand the situation of the three counties of Songjiang.

"Kill 100,000 enemies, hehe!"

Qian Yuanji's face was a little complicated, with both relief and excitement, but also deep worry and jealousy.

The former is easy to understand, the Kingdom of Oman was originally a loyal vassal state of the empire, which started by hugging the thighs of the empire, and now it is attacking the empire in turn, and it has become a great disaster in the southeast for a time. Of course, Qian Yuanji hated such a betrayer very much. Chen Wu was able to give them color ruthlessly, which indirectly helped Qian Yuanji out of this evil breath.

Not to mention the worries and fears, relying on the territory of the three counties defeated the Omani attack!

His understanding of the Oman Kingdom may not be as good as that of Chen Wu, a traverser, but he is definitely one of the best in the entire Qianyuan Empire. It is clear that after this war, the Kingdom of Oman will not have the ability to go north for the third time in a short period of time. This means that Chen Wu has lost his restraints in a short period of time and can act recklessly.

On the other hand, the empire, even after a long summer, still failed to completely pacify the five buckets of rice. The other party still has half of Xichuan County in his hands, as well as the lonely city Longquan that has been defended for a long time!

Although the 400,000 troops gathered there have been withdrawn one after another 150,000, greatly reducing the financial and logistical pressure, the empire will not be able to get a real respite until the war ends. What's more, after three years of recuperation, the Tile Thorns in the northwest are likely to make a comeback and take revenge. Although they held back this year, what about next year?

In less than a year, is it really enough for the empire to recuperate?

If that's all, then Qian Yuanji can still bear it, and what worries him even more is his body and the two princes whose contradictions are becoming more and more obvious. If it really drags on any longer, it is likely to shake the country's foundation and repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty.

He felt that he couldn't hesitate, and that he had to make a decision as much as he could!

However, it is not easy to abolish the current Empress Song and replace Concubine Zhen as the queen and the fifth prince as the prince. In addition, with the support of the Song family, he was also faintly aware of the eldest prince's toss in Yanyun County. After thinking about it repeatedly, he ordered someone to recruit three important ministers of his henchmen, and prepared to use the second Tiannan victory to reveal a little bit of news to the three henchmen.

If they can all support it, it will be much easier to do something else. (To be continued.) )
