After receiving Tang Yin's great praise, Li Jin was also very excited, feeling that he could finally straighten his back and behave in the Feng Army.
The silk cloth that Li Jin handed over to Bai Rong was painted with the totem of the Amuko clan. They had raised the falcon since childhood, and they were very familiar with the totem of their clan. When they looked down from the air, they would naturally fall down.
As soon as it comes, the information carried by the falcon body can be passed to Bai Rong.
It was not difficult to use totems and falcons to get in touch with Bai Rong. Now Tang Yin had to consider how to formulate a plan to break the city. For this matter, he summoned all the generals in the army overnight to discuss with everyone.
Lingshuang knew nothing about military matters, so she basically didn't interrupt. Even if she did participate, she would sit aside silently and listen carefully to others' explanations.
Nie Ze first expressed his position. Since Bai Rong was willing to defect, it would be easy to break the city. He could launch a siege on Zhenjiang from all sides. This was just a feint attack, attracting the defenders in the city to spread out their defenses, creating convenience for Bai Rong's defection, etc.
Bai Rong succeeded, opened the city gate, and his army could enter the east city smoothly, then go straight to the palace and capture Shao Fang alive.
His plan was supported by the generals. Qingyu smiled and said: "What General Nie said is true. This is also a way to minimize the casualties of our army and the Mo army."
The Feng Kingdom not only wants to destroy Mo, but also annexes the Mo Kingdom. In the future, the Mo army is likely to be included in the Feng Army. The smaller the loss, the more beneficial it will be to the Feng Kingdom.
Of course, Qingyu did not want to see large-scale casualties among the Mo army. It would be best if the war could be ended with minimal bloodshed.
On this point, Tang Yin agreed with Qing Yu. The destruction of Mo was a foregone conclusion. There was no need for a large-scale bloody battle between the two sides. In times of trouble, the prosperity of a country's population also directly affects a country's overall national strength.
He looked around at the generals and asked, "What do you generals think?"
Xiao Muqing nodded and asked, "I wonder when the king plans to take action?"
Tang Yin said: "It shouldn't be delayed. Of course, the sooner the better."
"In this case, let's decide on the day after tomorrow!" Xiao Muqing said: "Tomorrow, let all the soldiers in the army feast on war criminals and recharge their spirits. Early the day after tomorrow, at Mao hour, our army can use all its strength to pretend to attack Zhenjiang."
Tang Yin nodded with a smile and said, "Okay! Just follow Mu Qing's opinion!"
The military meetings of the Feng Kingdom always opened very quickly, and the decision could be finalized in just a few words. The participating generals of the Yu Kingdom did not even get a chance to interrupt, and the meeting ended. The reason for this is that first, Tang Yin has always been good at doing things.
Just be decisive and do what you say. Secondly, it is also because there are many talents in the Feng Army and the commanders of each army are good generals who are responsible for their own duties. Tang Yin does not need to worry about many decisions at all. The commanders of the following armies have already thought of them for him.
When the Fengyu Allied Forces were preparing to attack Zhenjiang, an incident occurred. The Huben Army under the command of Nanyan came back from the south to rescue Zhenjiang.
After hearing the news, Qi Heng immediately stood up and expressed his willingness to lead the Ninth Army to fight. The Ninth Army was a heavily armored cavalry, and they could not intervene in the siege. Now the Tiger Army of Mo State came back to save Qi Heng.
It seems that this is the final battle for our army.
Tang Yin also believed that it was most appropriate to send the Ninth Army to meet the enemy, but Qingyu objected. Both the Ninth Army and the Huben Army were the most elite cavalry corps. During a battle, it would be a pity no matter which side suffered damage.
Regarding the matter, the best way is to persuade Nan Yan and persuade him to surrender.
If Nan Yan could be persuaded to surrender, that would of course be the most perfect outcome, but Tang Yin did not think that Nan Yan was willing to surrender. In response, Qing Yu recommended himself to Tang Yin and proposed that he was willing to try and convince Nan Yan to let him lead the army.
The entire Huben army defected to the Feng Kingdom.
Tang Yin was quite hesitant. He had some understanding of Nan Yan. Although he was dissatisfied with many of Shao Fang's actions, he was very loyal to Mo Guo. He asked Qing Yu to go and persuade him to surrender. If the negotiation was not settled, wouldn't it be a crime?
Baozi beats dog, there is no return. If Qingyu has a shortcoming, it will be too late to regret it.
Thinking of this, he shook his head secretly and said with a smile to Qingyu: "General Qingyu should not take risks. This matter will be left to the Ninth Army to handle!"
Qi Heng nodded his head at the side, gearing up and eager to give it a try. The Ninth Army defeated so many cavalrymen of the Mo Kingdom, but the only one that had never faced off was the Tiger Army. If they could defeat the world-famous Tiger Army this time, then the Ninth Army would be defeated.
The Ninth Army's face has been revealed. From now on, who in the world will not know the Ninth Army, and who will not know his name Qi Heng?
Qingyu insisted: "Your Majesty, the general has a good relationship with General Nanyan. Even if he fails to persuade him to surrender, I believe he will not embarrass the general. Your Majesty, let the general try. If it can be done, what will happen to our army?"
How about adding more wings to the tiger and adding another main force to the army?!"
"This..." Although Qingyu's words were very reasonable and moved Tang Yin's heart, he was still reluctant to let Qingyu take the risk.
Seeing Tang Yin's hesitation, Qingyu said again: "The general is very confident about this trip. If the king is worried, the general can issue a military order!"
Seeing that Qingyu was a bastard who was determined to go, Tang Yin had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree. When sending Qingyu away from the camp, he repeatedly told Qingyu that he could persuade Nanyan to surrender.
Just do it. If you can't do it, don't force it.
In Tang Yin's mind, the Huben Army is very good and very valuable, but the weight of the entire army together is not as important as Qingyu alone. A thousand armies are easy to get, but a general is hard to find!
Qingyu could also understand that the king valued him, and he was grateful in his heart, but he also strengthened his determination to persuade Nanyan to surrender.
Let's talk about Bai Rong in Zhenjiang City. According to Li Jin's instructions, he walked out of his bedroom early the next morning and went to the courtyard. He sent out all the idle people around him, leaving only his close guards, and then opened the package Li Jin gave him.
Take out the silk cloth from inside, unfold it, and lay it flat in the center of the courtyard.
Not long after, he heard the cry of eagles above his head.
He hurriedly looked up and saw a small black dot swooping down in mid-air. The small black dot got bigger and bigger, getting closer and closer. When it flew close to him, everyone around him was startled. This falcon,
Its whole body was pitch black, and its two yellow eyes shot out a ray of light. It was huge, and its wings spanned one and a half meters. When it fell, it made a whistling sound, really like a monster falling from the sky. But after landing, it retracted its wings, and then
It became about the size of a rooster.
"General, look, the eagle's legs are tied with strips of cloth!" A guard pointed at the falcon that had fallen on the silk cloth and said urgently to Bai Rong.
"Go and take it off!" Bai Rong took a closer look and saw that there was indeed a strip of cloth on the eagle's leg. He shook his head and shouted to the guards on the left and right.
One of the guards bravely stepped forward and carefully took off the cloth from the eagle's legs. Then he quickly returned to Bai Rong and handed the cloth to him.
The latter took it and quickly unfolded the cloth, with a few numbers on it: Tomorrow morning at Mao hour, our army will feign attack, and we will wait for the good news of General Bai. There is no signature below, but it is stamped with the seal of Wind King Tang Yin.
Seeing the seal, Bai Rong's heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably. This biography must have been written by King Feng himself. King Feng could personally pass it on to him, which shows how much he values himself.
Logically speaking, he should burn this kind of thing immediately, but he didn't want to part with it. He put it in his arms as a treasure, and then asked someone to quickly get a writing pen and write a reply to Tang Yin: Your Highness, Prince Feng, please rest assured.
It will definitely live up to its mission!
After finishing writing, he personally tied the falcon's legs and the binding was strong. He patted the falcon's back again and muttered: "You beast, you must not delay this general's important matter. You must put this
Send it back to His Highness the Wind King!"
As if it could understand people's words, the falcon took a few steps, soared, spread its wings and flew into the air, circled in the sky, turned around and flew towards the Fengjun camp.
Watching the falcon flying smaller and smaller, and finally completely disappearing from sight, Bai Rong looked away, took a long breath, couldn't hide the smile on his face, and went back to his room to sleep happily. After meeting Li Jin last night,
He couldn't sleep all night.
Qingyu went to persuade Nanyan to surrender. Tang Yin did not know whether he succeeded, but the Huben army stopped moving closer to Zhenjiang and stationed a hundred miles away.
Through this sign, Tang Yin more or less let go of the concerns that were raised in his throat. Now he must concentrate on taking Zhenjiang in one go.
To make a long story short, one day later, at the time originally agreed upon, the Fengyu Allied Forces began to mobilize their entire army to launch a fierce attack on Zhenjiang City from four directions: southeast, northwest, and northwest.
The Fengyu Allied Forces did not advance on horseback. Instead, they formed a militant formation at the forefront of the city, putting pressure on the defenders. They also used siege weapons to launch continuous long-range strikes.
They used all the city-breaking crossbows and trebuchets in their respective armies. The momentum and power of their attacks were also terrifying. For a while, the four cities of Zhenjiang were making loud rumbling noises, and the ground was shaking violently.
The ground trembled.
The enemy's siege has already begun. As the commander-in-chief of the East City, Bai Rong naturally has to summon his generals to discuss his side's countermeasures.
In the small courtyard where he lived, there were as many as twenty to thirty Mo army generals standing in the courtyard, among whom the lowest-ranking one was also a partial general.
When everyone arrived, Bai Rong, dressed in military uniform, walked out of the room with a sword on his waist and a long knife in hand.
He first looked around at the people present, then walked down the steps, stood in front of the generals, and said in a loud voice: "The Fengyu coalition's siege is about to begin. All generals, please tell us how our army should respond!"
"Humph, what else is there to say!" A Mo general stepped out of the queue and shouted loudly: "We are loyal to the emperor and are loyal to the emperor. Even if we are shattered to pieces today, we must not take half a step back. We will fight to the death with the wind thief.
!”
The General Mo who spoke was none other than Shao Fang's confidant, Yan Song. Bai Rong glanced at him, raised the corner of his mouth, and praised: "General Yan said it well..."
