After listening to Tang Yin's words, the young people in Jinhua City knelt down one after another and looked around. The crowd rushed into the field and everyone said in unison: "Don't worry, sir. We swear to fight Ning Jun to the end and never retreat even a step." !”
"Okay!" Tang Yin nodded, turned sideways and said to the several regiment commanders under his command: "You organize people to distribute military uniforms and weapons."
"Sir!" Shen Zhichen suppressed the excitement in his heart and said softly: "I'm afraid it may not be possible." There are at least 30,000 to 40,000 young men who have come forward to join the army, and their current armor and weapons are fully equipped. There are less than 20,000 pairs, how can it be used by so many people?
Tang Yin pondered for a moment and said: "As many as there are, we will issue them. Those who have not been issued armor and weapons will serve as a reserve army. When the war starts, if there are casualties, we can replenish them as soon as possible!"
Shen Zhichen secretly praised the words and responded quickly: "Yes! My subordinates know it!"
He agreed and turned to leave. Tang Yin glanced at him, changed the subject, and suddenly said: "Today, General Shen was able to decisively issue an attack order regardless of the enemy general to prevent the enemy general from entering the city. He did a good job."
Shen Zhichen's face straightened and he said hurriedly: "Thank you, sir." Although his order prevented Zhan Wudi from entering the city, hundreds of Feng soldiers died under his own arrows. Duo, he had been worried before that Tang Yin would blame him if he found out about this matter, but now after hearing what he said, he felt relieved.
It was not easy to get Tang Yin's praise, and he felt a little proud at the same time. After waiting for a long time, seeing that Tang Yin had not written anything for a long time, Shen Zhichen couldn't help but take a peek, and then suddenly discovered that the latter Although he was praising him, there was no smile on his face. Instead, he looked cold and frighteningly gloomy.
His heart trembled, and he grinned secretly. He immediately realized that Tang Yin was praising him on the surface, but in fact he was blaming him. He hurriedly wanted to explain, but at this time, Tang Yin waved his hand to block what he wanted to say, and said quietly: "Although you do it That's right, but I don't want to see this kind of situation happen again in the future." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards his barracks, leaving Shen Zhichen, who was full of bitterness and embarrassment, stunned in place.
After a hard day's battle, the soldiers could go back to the camp to sleep and rest, but Tang Yin did not dare. The battle was so fierce that no one could guarantee that Ning's army would not attack at night. After he returned to the barracks, he took off his armor and put on a clean pair of clothes. Then, without stopping for a moment, he walked out of the barracks, went up to the north city wall, and sat on the ground leaning on the arrow stack.
Tang Yin came from a difficult background, and the hardship he is experiencing now is nothing to him.
Not long after he sat down, Shangguan Yuanrang came up from the city, carrying a wine jar and a large bag of beef. When he saw Tang Yin, his eyes lit up, and he walked over with a smile, and handed the wine jar and beef to He put it on the ground and sat next to Tang Yin.
Tang Yin glanced at Shangguan Yuanrang and asked with a smile: "Why don't you go and rest?"
"My lord, you didn't go to rest either!" Shangguan Yuanrang replied with a smile.
Shrugging his shoulders, Tang Yin said: "If I sit here for one night, my physical strength will be almost restored."
Shangguan Yuanrang nodded and said: "Me too." As he spoke, he picked up the wine jar, rubbed it with his fingers to seal it, and with a bang, he made a big hole in the seal of the jar. He tore off the seal paper and poured out the wine. The altar was handed to Tang Yin, and he said with a smile: "Sir, drink!"
Tang Yin was not polite. He took the jar of wine and drank two big sips. The windy wine was spicy, as if he had drank a ball of fire and flowed into his stomach. Tang Yin wiped his mouth carelessly and sighed softly. The cold wind at night became colder.
It was no longer so cold. He handed the wine jar back to Shangguan Yuanrang, who, like him, also held the wine jar and drank several sips.
"Sir, how long will we stay in Jinhua City?" Shangguan Yuanrang put down the wine jar, tore a piece of beef, and asked while eating.
"God knows." Tang Yin said slowly, "Maybe three, five days, maybe a month. It depends on how long it takes Master Qiu to eliminate Zhong Wen and his gang." As he spoke, he mentioned the wine jar again,
After taking a sip, he continued: "Now we are in the same situation as Zhong Wen. We are both surrounded by a heavy army. It depends on who can't hold it back first."
Shangguan Yuanrang responded and said worriedly: "Sir, what if Ning Jun feels that he cannot capture Jinhua City and is eager to rescue Zhong Wen, so he chooses to give up the attack and bypass the city?"
Tang Yin looked up and smiled and said with certainty: "They don't dare!"
Shangguan Yuanrang was puzzled and asked: "Why don't you dare?"
Tang Yin said: "Not to mention having worries about the future is a big taboo in marching and fighting. They can't stand the fact that we occupy Jinhua City and cut off the Ning Army's logistics line. The 400,000 Ning Army needs to eat and drink, so how much food will they need?
Food, once the food and grass are cut off, the Ning army of 400,000 will be vulnerable. I don’t think the commander of the Ning army dares to take this risk."
"Oh!" Shangguan Yuanrang nodded. It's no wonder that Ning Jun could go around the city but kept staring at Jinhua City. It turned out that he had concerns about food and grass supplies. He looked at Tang Yin strangely and asked, "Your Excellency, what's the matter?"
Have you studied the art of war?”
Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I haven't learned it yet."
"Then how do you know this, sir?"
"Before the soldiers and horses move, food and grass must go first; the people cannot be without business for a while, and the army cannot be without food for a day. These are common sense, aren't they?" What he said has become a proverb in modern times, and everyone knows it, but at that time
How could ordinary people understand this in an era when people's wisdom was not yet developed?
Shangguan Yuanrang scratched his forehead and muttered: "Common sense? Why haven't I heard of it? Is it because I am ignorant?" He shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He picked up the wine jar and started drinking.
Tang Yin glanced at him, shook his head and smiled. Shangguan Yuanrang's cultivation was indeed profound. After a whole day of fierce fighting, even an iron man couldn't bear it. On the contrary, he didn't rest for long and became lively and energetic again. He seemed to have a 'spiritual body'
The physique of a person is indeed far beyond that of an ordinary spiritual cultivator. Although he did not consume his spiritual energy on the battlefield and actually increased it a lot, it takes a long time to recover his physical strength.
The two of them sat at the top of the city, drinking and eating meat, chatting without a word. In the middle of the night, they both lay on the wall and fell asleep. Because of their high cultivation, even in their sleep
He is also very vigilant, and the slightest disturbance can wake them up.
Tang Yin's worries were unnecessary. Ning's army did not launch a night attack that night. In fact, after a day of fierce fighting, Feng's army was exhausted, and Ning's army was also in need of rest. The night was calm and there was no fighting. Waiting until the next morning, Ning's army was exhausted.
The army's massive offensive began again.
This time, the Ning army no longer only attacked the northern city wall of Jinhua, but chose to attack the north and south together, using more than 200,000 manpower.
If the strength of the Feng Army had not been replenished, the remaining 30,000 soldiers would not have been able to withstand such a fierce attack by the Ning Army. However, the timely joining of the young men from Jinhua City injected vitality into the Feng Army.
, although these people have not received special training, do not know the skills of close combat, and do not know how to shoot arrows, but they all have life-threatening energy, high fighting spirit, and dare to fight. When they met Ning Bing on the battlefield,
Even with all his energy, he never lags behind.
One man fights hard, but ten people are defeated. Tens of thousands of Feng troops work together and are on the defensive side. Not to mention that the more than 200,000 Ning troops cannot defeat Jinhua City. Even if the entire army is sent to the battlefield, they may not be able to take advantage.
.
The battle only lasted until noon, but the two sides fought fiercely. There were countless casualties on the battlefield, blood flowed into rivers, and corpses piled up like mountains. The Ning army attacked for a whole morning and found that the Feng army still had sufficient manpower and a strong defense.
, it was difficult for our side to achieve results, so we retreated hastily.
After this battle, the Ning Army had to re-evaluate and understand the Feng Army in Jinhua City, and completely gave up the idea of Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi making a quick victory. More importantly, the Ning Army camp was in short supply of food and grass and could not maintain Ning Army.
The army launched another large-scale attack. At this point, the two sides began to enter a relatively peaceful confrontation stage.
On the second day after the battle, the gate of the Ning Army's camp was opened, and a number of carriages came out from inside. The carriages carried white flags and drove slowly towards the south gate of Jinhua City.
When the carriage reached a distance of about 100 meters in front of the Jinhua City Gate, an arrow suddenly flew down from the city. With a bang, the arrow was nailed to the ground in front of the carriage. At the same time, someone on the top of the city shouted: "Stop here!"
If you move forward, you will be killed without mercy!"
The driver of the carriage hurriedly pulled the reins and stopped the carriage. Then, a middle-aged man wearing an official uniform of the State of Ning walked out of the carriage door. He took two steps forward and shouted towards the city: "I am the envoy of the State of Ning."
, I want to see your general and discuss something!"
In front of the formation, the two armies sent envoys to the enemy with white flags. It was precisely because of seeing the white flag that the Feng army did not shoot arrows to kill the incoming enemy, but only shot at the base of the formation.
After hearing this, there was silence on the city wall for a moment, and then someone replied: "Wait a minute!"
Ning Jun sent an envoy, but Feng Jun's soldiers did not dare to delay and hurriedly ran down the city wall to report to Tang Yin.
At this time, Tang Yin was resting in his tent, and Su Yelei was also in the camp with him.
She accepted Tang Yin's invitation, stayed by Tang Yin's side, and became his dedicated female medical officer. In addition, her father Su Mingyang also joined the Feng Army and became a military medical officer.
Su Yelei came to Tang Yin to change the dressing for his wound, but Tang Yin refused, saying that his wound had healed. How could Su Yelei believe that although his wound was just a skin injury and not serious, it was still a knife after all.
How can an injury be cured if it is not repaired for one or two months?
She frowned, looked at Tang Yin, and said, "Sir, you don't have to worry about the medicine. There are enough medicinal materials in the city now, and you are not lacking."
Tang Yin couldn't laugh or cry. Could it be that he was such a stingy person in her eyes? Even sparing medicine for himself?! He shook his head, simply took off his clothes, turned around, turned his back to Su Yelei, and pointed behind his back.
, said: "Look for yourself, are there any wounds on my body?"
