I don't know how long it took, but Tang Yin and others finally walked out of the Ningjun camp without any danger. Looking forward, they saw Tongmen, sandwiched between two mountains, with towering city walls.
The terrain of Tongmen is steep, the city walls are high and thick, and the city defenses are well prepared. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It can be said that one man can block the barrier and ten thousand people cannot open it. If it has sufficient manpower, let alone 400,000 Ning troops.
Even with double the manpower, it would be difficult to attack, but the situation is different now. Feng Kingdom has just experienced a disastrous defeat. An army of 200,000 people collapsed in the Hedong area. The Tongmen defenders were less than 20,000, and many of them were defeated.
The remnant soldiers who escaped were defeated, their morale was scattered, and their fighting spirit was low. Moreover, reinforcements from the rear had not yet arrived. The situation was critical and not optimistic.
Now, the city gate of Tongmen has been blocked inside. People inside can't get out. Likewise, people from other sides can't get in.
Seeing Tongmen is equivalent to seeing the gate to return home. Everyone present was excited and excited, and speeded up in unison.
Not long after they walked out, they heard someone behind them shouting: "Stop!"
When everyone heard the sound, they turned around, and it turned out that Yu Jia and others also followed out of the military camp.
"Tongmen is just a little further on. Can you let me go now?" Yu Jia said patiently and in a deep voice.
"If we release them now, I'm afraid we will turn into hedgehogs before we have even taken a few steps." Tang Yin said unhurriedly. He was so impressed by Ning Jun's arrow formation. There were hundreds of people on his side.
I'm afraid that I can't even block the opponent's volley.
Yu Jiahen's teeth were itching, he clenched his fists and asked: "Then what do you want?"
"As I said just now, when we enter Tongmen safely, we will naturally let him go. You can rest assured that we will do what we say and will not go back on our words!"
"That's best! Otherwise..."
Too lazy to listen to his nonsense, Tang Yin had already urged his horse forward before Yu Jia's threatening words could be uttered.
Yu Jia was anxious, angry and hateful in his heart, but he had nothing to do about Tang Yin. He could only stare and watch him gradually walk away from him.
The deflated look of the other party made Wu Mei secretly laugh in her heart. She has always been the eldest daughter of the dancer family and the object of everyone's admiration. She has never relied on others and will only be relied on by everyone. But now, suddenly there is someone who can stand on her side.
Her front was protected from the wind and rain, a feeling that was both wonderful and enjoyable for her.
Tang Yin and others were walking towards the bottom of Tongmen City, when suddenly, a strong gust of wind flew down from the top of the high wall.
Bang!
An eagle feather was as fast as lightning and was nailed deeply in front of Tang Yin's horse's hoof. At the same time, someone on the top of the city shouted: "Stop whoever comes!"
Tang Yin hurriedly reined in the reins and raised his head to look up.
On the city wall, there were soldiers from the Feng Kingdom standing. People stared at them with wide eyes and looked at them curiously. One of the officers, who looked like a captain, held a long bow in one hand and an arrow stack in the other, leaned forward and asked loudly:
"Stop looking away. Who are you? Tell me your name first!"
Wu Mei and the others all dressed up as Feng people and carried the Feng flag, but the problem was that they came out of the Ning army camp without incident, and there were a large number of Ning soldiers and Ning generals behind them.
The soldiers of the Feng Kingdom who were on board couldn't tell whether they were their own people or enemies.
"I am Wu Mei, let your general come and talk to me!" Wu Mei urged her horse to take a few steps forward and replied.
Wu Mei? She's from the Wu family! The captain on the top of the city was secretly frightened and didn't dare to neglect. He said urgently: "Please wait a moment!" After saying this, he turned around and ran away quickly.
About half an hour later, there was a commotion on the city wall. Then, a middle-aged general wearing a military uniform appeared on the city wall. He looked down and saw Wu Mei. He couldn't help but
He rubbed his eyes and looked carefully.
Seeing that the other party was staring at her speechlessly for a long time, Wu Mei frowned and shouted: "We haven't seen each other for a few days, will General Zongzheng not recognize me?"
Hearing the words, the middle-aged general was shocked and said in surprise: "It is indeed General Wu! But you... they..." He originally wanted to ask how Wu Mei and others passed through the Ning Army camp, and why they followed behind
There were so many Ningguo people, but it was not easy to say this in public, as if they were suspecting Wu Mei of collaborating with the enemy.
"It's up to you and me, open the city gate first and let us in!" Wu Mei scolded angrily.
"Okay, okay, okay! However, General Wu, the city gate has been blocked, so I have to let you climb the wall and come in..." After confirming that the person who came was indeed Wu Mei, although the middle-aged general was full of doubts, he could not
Not daring to say anything more, he hurriedly prepared ropes and threw them from the top of the city.
Bang, bang, bang - all of a sudden, more than twenty thick and long hemp ropes were thrown down from the top of the city.
Seeing this, Wu Mei turned over and dismounted. At the same time, she shook her head and said to her soldiers: "Up!"
Everyone obeyed the order, swarmed forward, tied the dropped hemp rope around their waists, and then called to the soldiers on the wall to pull it up.
Just as Wu Mei and Wu Ying were about to walk down the city, they saw Tang Yin sitting on the horse and not moving. The former asked, "Tang Yin, what are you waiting for if you don't get off the horse?"
Tang Yin patted the unconscious Yu Shang and asked, "What should he do?"
Wu Mei was startled and said: "You don't have to worry about it!" As she said that, she pulled a soldier from her side and said: "You stay and watch this guy until we are all safely on the city wall.
Just let him..." As she spoke, she made a downward gesture.
The soldier nodded timidly and responded with a trembling voice: "General Wu, I understand."
Tang Yin frowned, dismounted, pulled Yu Shang off the horse, and asked, "You want to kill him?"
"Of course!" Wu Mei looked at Tang Yin funny and asked, "You don't really plan to let him go, do you?"
"I just think that people cannot stand without trust. Since you have made a promise to the other party, you should keep your word."
Wu Mei sneered and said, "Are you crazy about talking about credibility with your enemies?"
Tang Yin looked at her directly and said nothing.
Wu Mei patted his shoulder with a smile and said softly: "There is no need for you and me to argue about this matter, just come up with me!"
Seeing her persistence, Tang Yin stopped wasting time and ignored Wu Mei. Instead, he said to the soldier: "You go up, I'll stay at the end."
"What are you going to do?" The smile on Wu Mei's face disappeared and she asked in a dissatisfied voice.
"General Wu can break credibility and keep promises, but I can't!" Tang Yin may be a murderous demon king, but he also has his principles, and what he said must be fulfilled.
Not understanding why he was so aggressive, Wu Mei was anxious and angry, and said angrily: "Yu Shang is the prince of Ning State, and is our great enemy. We can't let him go no matter what..."
"..." Tang Yin remained silent in response to her words.
Seeing that the two of them were arguing, Qiu Zhen hurriedly came over and looked at the expressionless Tang Yin. He wanted to speak, but he swallowed the words when he reached his lips. He turned to Wu Mei and said: "General Wu, Yu Shang just
He is a idiot. Whether he is killed or not will not have much impact on us. But conversely speaking, keeping him is equivalent to leaving a disaster to Ning Guo. Furthermore, if we really kill him, I am afraid it will arouse the anger of Ning Guo.
, there are so many Ning soldiers, they are really angry and crazy to attack the city, it may not be beneficial to us!"
In fact, Qiu Zhen also believed that Yu Shang should be killed, but he had already decided to side with Tang Yin. Since Tang Yin insisted, he could only follow Tang Yin's wishes, but the same words were more acceptable if he said them.
.
Wu Mei still felt uncomfortable letting Yu Shang go like this, but Qiu Zhen's words made sense, and it was equivalent to giving her a step down.
After pondering for a moment, she nodded and said, "Okay, Tang Yin, I will listen to you this time, but there will never be another time!" After saying that, she took a deep look at Tang Yin, turned and walked towards the city.
.
Phew! Seeing Wu Mei's compromise, Qiu Zhen let out a long sigh. He came to Tang Yin and whispered: "Brother Tang, you are too impulsive. If you fall out with General Wu because of Yu Shang, you will lose more than you gain!"
Of course Tang Yin knew that falling out with Wu Mei would be detrimental to him, but Wu Mei was not important enough to him to change his principles of doing things.
He smiled lightly at Qiu Zhen and said softly: "Thank you."
It was not easy to hear Tang Yin say thank you. Qiu Zhen grinned and laughed non-stop.
Wu Mei and Wu Ying, together with hundreds of people, were pulled up to half of the city wall in a short time. Tang Yin said to Qiu Zhen: "Don't stay here anymore, you can go up too!"
"I'll accompany you."
"No need." Tang Yin said decisively.
"I insist." Qiu Zhen answered simply.
"Don't blame me if you die!" Tang Yin said coldly.
"..." Qiu Zhen was silent.
After most of Wu Mei's soldiers were pulled up to the city wall, Yu Jia and others in front of Ning Guoying moved and slowly approached Tang Yin.
Although he was at the foot of his own city, and although he still had Yu Shang as a hostage in his hands, facing so many enemies approaching, Qiu Zhen still sweated nervously on his palms.
He secretly glanced at Tang Yin beside him. There was no surprise. The latter's face was still calm.
Qiu Zhen suddenly realized that no matter how dangerous the situation was, Tang Yin seemed to be able to keep his expression calm, and his cold and sharp eyes would not show any fluctuations, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
If Tang Yin was an enemy, he must be an extremely formidable opponent! He muttered secretly in his heart, and at the same time secretly rejoiced.
"Now, can you let me go?" Yu Jia stared at Tang Yin with fierce eyes.
"Of course!" Tang Yin bent down, grabbed the clothes on Yu Shang's back, lifted them up, then took two steps forward, swung them hard, and said coldly: "The originals will be returned!"
Yu Shang's body, which weighed more than 100 kilograms, was like a rag bag. He was thrown more than ten meters away by Tang Yin. With a muffled thump, he fell heavily to the ground.
He grinned and screamed in pain, almost losing his breath. Seeing this, the guards around Yu Jia hurried forward and surrounded Yu Shang, for fear that the other party would make a sneak attack again.
Tang Yin stopped delaying, pulled Qiu Zhen down and said, "Let's go!"
