Tang Yin observed the terrain of Fengyang and felt that the city was steep and difficult to defend and difficult to attack. It would be as difficult as climbing to the sky to break the city head-on, so he immediately thought of attacking and stealing the city at night.
He arranged for Cheng Jin to select more than a hundred secret assassins, and then ordered the entire army to be ready. As soon as they saw the signal that their night attack was successful, they would rush into the city in one go.
That night, Tang Yin and Cheng Jin quietly sneaked toward Fengyang with their hidden arrow personnel. They were all dark spiritual cultivators and masters of night sneaking. Using the cover of night, they quietly walked around the bend and headed towards Fengyang City.
near.
However, Tang Yin and others were only fifty steps closer to Fengyang when they suddenly heard the alarm bell ringing loudly at the top of the city, followed by a row of rockets flying down from the top of the city.
"No, Your Majesty! Mo Jun has been on guard for a long time. There are spiritual cultivators releasing insights at the top of the city!" Cheng Jin reacted very quickly and immediately warned Tang Yin.
The rockets flying down from the top of the city exposed the traces of Tang Yin and others. In this case, Tang Yin simply took the risk and shouted to Cheng Jin and others: "Don't be nervous, just follow me and rush to the top of the city!"
At this time, Tang Yin no longer concealed his presence, and rushed towards Fengyang City with long strides. Cheng Jin and others were afraid that he would make a mistake, so they hurriedly followed him.
Mo Jun on the city had already discovered Tang Yin and his party, and soon, arrows rained down from the top of the city, and dense arrows came over them overwhelmingly.
At first, Tang Yin and others were able to use Shadow Drift to dodge the enemy's arrow formation, but the closer they got to the city wall, the stronger the spiritual pressure released by the enemy spiritual cultivators. Gradually, the weaker secret arrow personnel were no longer able to use the powerful arrows.
He cast Shadow Drift under the spiritual pressure, and was hit by arrows flying down, causing them to scream and fall to the ground.
Tang Yin planned to continue charging, but after a short time, he also felt that the spiritual pressure released by the enemy was getting stronger and stronger. If he charged down like this, not to mention that Cheng Jin and others could not use the shadow drift, even he might not be able to survive.
. Tang Yin was impulsive, but at the critical moment, he was very calm-minded. He made a prompt decision and ordered to stop the forced charge and everyone to retreat.
This time, the night attack personally launched by Tang Yin ended hastily with the casualties of more than ten hidden arrow personnel.
When Tang Yin retreated to the camp, he began to feel pain in his head. How could it be so difficult to attack the little-known Fengyang City? Attacking in the open and at night would not work. Could it be that there was nothing we could do against Fengyang?
Not successful?
For the Fengyang City that was blocking his way, not to mention Tang Yin was at a loss, even the generals and counselors in the Feng Army had no plan to defeat the enemy, including Qiu Zhen who was accompanying him.
Sitting in the Chinese army tent, Tang Yin said nothing, lowered his head and sulked. He didn't know whether he was angry at Fengyang's Mo Jun for being difficult to deal with or because he was angry at his own side's incompetence.
After an unknown amount of time, he raised his head, looked around at everyone, and asked: "Everyone, tell me, how can we defeat Fengyang?"
After Tang Yin finished asking, there was silence in the big tent, and no one even answered.
Seeing this, he laughed, but he was angry. Tang Yin shook his head and said quietly: "I heard people say that when you ask a question and no one answers, it means that everyone already has something in mind.
That’s the answer.”
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in shock, and finally Qiu Zhen said: "Your Majesty, Fengyang's terrain is unique. Not to mention that it is difficult for me to attack with one hundred thousand soldiers. Even if millions of soldiers come, I am afraid that they will not be able to attack Fengyang. What's more, Fengyang
It is not within the scope of our military planning, and Xishan County is only a remote county, not of much value. In my opinion, it is better to... give up attacking Xishan County, and our army continues to advance south.
Put pressure on Shao Fang."
Qiu Zhen's words were the voice of everyone. As soon as he finished speaking, Lotte continued: "Your Majesty, according to the information obtained by the last general, although the army of Xishan County is a local army, its strength exceeds 200,000, and the number of soldiers is more than 200,000.
Its strength is no less than that of the Central Army of Mo State. Xishan County is far away from the imperial court of Mo State and can be called a country within a country. Many generals and soldiers of Xishan County's army have been in the army for generations, and their cohesion is extremely strong. Now they are in this country.
Fighting in the county can be said to have taken advantage of the time, location, and people. It is not... not a wise move for our army to fight against it!"
Everyone nodded while listening. Now people's thoughts are similar to those of Qiu Zhen and Lotte. They all believe that the troops should be withdrawn. There is no need to waste money in an insignificant place like Xishan County and delay the current good fighter opportunities.
Tang Yin stared at the crowd and asked, "Do you all think it's time to withdraw your troops?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, we waste all our time on Xishan County. Even if we can finally capture this county, we will lose more than we gain..."
Tang Yin waved his hand, interrupted everyone's admonishment, and said: "Xishan County is indeed not an important place, and it was not within the scope of our original plan, but the situation is different now. The main force of the local army of Mo State has fled into Xishan County. If we
If we ignore it, then this group of Mo troops may cause chaos from our flanks and rear at any time, and we will not stop fighting in the front. Moreover, General Li Sheng and tens of thousands of our soldiers were killed in front of Fengyang City. How can we not avenge this bloody feud?
?So, no matter what, I will definitely capture Xishan County!"
His words are not unreasonable. Of course, the advice of Qiu Zhen and others may not be wrong. Now, the Feng Army is indeed faced with a dilemma. If they continue to attack Xishan County, they may lose troops and generals, and they may not be able to defeat it. If they do not attack
Xishan County is another huge trouble. It can stab the main force of the Feng Army in the back at any time. It is difficult to decide whether to fight or not.
After many discussions, but no result could be achieved, Tang Yin waved his hands distractedly and said: "It's getting late, everyone should go back and rest. We will discuss it tomorrow!"
Everyone looked at each other, stood up helplessly, and all bowed their hands and saluted: "I'll take your leave!"
Tang Yin also planned to continue discussing tomorrow whether to attack Fengyang and how to attack Fengyang, but trouble occurred late that night.
At the fourth watch, Tang Yin was sleeping soundly in his tent when he suddenly heard a commotion outside. Even in his sleep, his reaction was extremely sensitive. He turned over and sat up almost instinctively. At the same time, two half-moon-shaped scimitars appeared in his hands.
He shook his still groggy head and was about to go out to see what happened. At this time, a Fengjun guard ran in in a panic and said in a hurry: "Your Majesty, it's not good. The enemy is stealing at night."
Camp, our military camp is on fire!"
"What?" Tang Yin was furious after hearing this. He just failed to attack Fengyang tonight, and Fengyang counterattacked him again. It was really unreasonable. He stood up quickly, grabbed his coat, and put it on his body.
He strode outwards.
When I got outside, I looked up again. Well, on the west side of the camp, flames were rising into the sky, and thick smoke was rising. The fire was so strong that even the horizon was almost red-hot. Even if the enemy came to steal the camp, how could it be so big?
Fire? Before he could figure out what was going on, two generals, Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan, came galloping towards him. When they arrived in front of Tang Yin, they got off their horses and stepped in to salute: "Your Majesty, the enemy just stole the camp and fired rockets into it."
Camp, for some reason, our military camp caught fire, and now the Western Camp has been turned into a sea of flames!"
Tang Yin's eyes turned red. He had always been the one to sneak attack on others. When had he been attacked by the enemy like this? He pulled over a war horse, flew up and stepped on it. While covering his spiritual armor, he also completed the double swords in his hands.
Ling Hua shouted: "Stop talking nonsense and follow me to meet the enemy!"
"Your Majesty..." Zhan Peng said with a look of embarrassment: "The enemy troops fled after firing a few rounds of rockets. They have probably fled back to Fengyang City now!"
"Ah?" When Tang Yin heard this, his nose was almost twisted with anger. Mo Jun dared to steal the camp, but he didn't dare to enter the camp to fight. What kind of bullshit tactic is this?
"Your Majesty, the fire is spreading rapidly and cannot be extinguished even if it is put out. It seems that this camp cannot be saved, so... we should evacuate first!" Wei Xuan said bravely.
Tang Yin now felt that he was too weak to do anything. He raised his head and looked to the west. Just as Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan said, the fire in his camp spread too fast. In just a short time, he could even feel the burning.
Waves of scalding heat rushed towards my face.
"Don't be a damn thief!" Tang Yin cursed, but finally ordered the entire army to withdraw from the camp.
The camp where Feng Jun is now stationed was not built by Feng Jun himself, but a checkpoint built by Mo Jun at Xishan Pass. Now that it was burned down, Feng Jun didn't feel distressed and took away all the baggage, food and tents he could.
Carry it away and evacuate to the next Mo country checkpoint to station.
The Feng Army withdrew to a new checkpoint in the Mo Kingdom and settled down. It didn't take long for the Feng Army's losses to be calculated and handed over to Tang Yin. This time the Mo Army stole the camp and there was no direct contact between the two armies. The Feng Army's
The casualties were not large. Most of the injured were burns and minor injuries caused by collisions and trampling. In addition, there was no loss of luggage, food and grass, but a lot of camp tents were burned down. What Feng Jun couldn't accept the most was that Mo Jun dared to
Taking the initiative to attack the city and successfully burning down their own camp was a great shame and humiliation for the soldiers of the Feng Army.
In the newly built Chinese military tent, Tang Yin's buttocks were not yet warm from sitting, Qiu Zhen hurriedly came closer from outside and said: "Your Majesty, we can't live in this camp anymore."
Tang Yin's brows were furrowed into knots and he asked, "What do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, please take a look!" As he spoke, Qiu Zhen stepped forward and handed Tang Yin a wooden stick.
Tang Yin took the wooden stick in confusion and looked over it repeatedly. The wooden stick was smooth and no different. He raised his head and asked dissatisfiedly: "Qiu Zhen, what did you want me to see?"
"This is what I broke off from the wall of the checkpoint." Qiu Zhen took the wooden stick and put it on the candle. When it came into contact with the flame of the candle, he heard a sudden sound and the whole wooden stick began to burn. Although Qiu Zhen threw it
The action of dropping it was fast enough, but his fingers were still burned. He shook his hand and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the wood used to build the level has been smeared with pitch pine by the enemy, but Mo Jun used a special technique.
, the smell of pitch pine has been removed, so the wooden stick looks very smooth, but it catches fire and cannot be extinguished even if it is put out."
