Tang Yin and Qiu really wanted to leave, but Yu Jia was not willing to let them go, especially Tang Yin. He tore off one of Yu Shang's ears, and Yu Jia had already beaten him to pieces. Seeing that he was about to run away, Yu Jia
With a loud roar, he urged his war horses and pursued him with a silver gun in hand.
Wu Mei, who was already standing on the Tongmen city wall, seemed to have expected such a result. She snorted in her heart, how about it? You promise not to kill Yu Shang, but the other party will not talk to you about credibility!
She was angry with Tang Yin, but she couldn't ignore him. Wu Mei turned her head and shouted: "Fire arrows to cover General Tang's return to the city!"
Although Wu Mei was not the guard of Tongmen, she had a high rank and the soldiers did not dare to disobey her orders.
Following her words, hundreds of archers stood on top of the city, aiming at Yu Jia who was chasing Tang Yin, and fired random arrows.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh - arrows rained down from the city wall like raindrops. Although the targets were not aimed at Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen, they still instinctively lowered their heads and dodged subconsciously.
Yu Jia, who was attacked by random arrows, did not panic. He waved the silver gun in his hand, and his body suddenly emitted layers of white mist. The mist enveloped his whole body and instantly condensed into a layer of white armor, covering his whole body tightly.
Really, only two eyes are left outside.
It sounds slow, but in reality it is extremely fast. It only took an instant for Yu Jia to complete the transformation into spiritual armor.
His spiritual armor had just been completed, and random arrows were approaching. There was only a tinkling sound in his ears. Looking at Yu Jia again, sparks were flying all over his body. The arrows were sharp and shot from top to bottom, with great inertia, but
But they couldn't penetrate the spiritual armor on his body at all, and they all bounced to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, a circle of broken arrows accumulated on the ground around him, but the impact of the arrows still blocked his forward movement.
"Second brother..."
Just as Yu Jia was waving his silver gun to deflect the incoming arrows and thinking about how to break out of the opponent's arrow formation, he suddenly heard Yu Shang's voice coming from behind.
He asked without looking back: "What's the matter?"
"Second brother, stop chasing..."
Yu Jia was unwilling to give up, but at this time, there were many more Feng Kingdom archers on the city wall, and the whizzing arrows were denser and sharper. Looking at Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen in front, they had already run to the foot of the city wall and began to move along.
Climbing up on the rope, he sighed secretly in his heart and shouted at Tang Yin's back: "Tang Yin, one day I will take your dog's head!"
At this time, Tang Yinye had been pulled into the air along the rope. He turned back to look down at the furious Yu Jia in the distance, snorted coldly, sneered, and said as if mumbling to himself: "Keep my name in mind until next time.
When we meet, it’s not certain who will take whose life!”
Yu Jia turned his horse's head and retreated out of the range of Feng Guo's arrows.
He walked into Yu Shang and saw that the wound on his broken ear had been simply bandaged, and his face was frighteningly pale. He took a deep breath and asked in a solemn voice: "How do you feel? Apart from the ear injury, where else are you injured?
"
Yu Shang slowly shook his head and said: "Second brother...Although Tang Yin hurt me, he also saved me just now!"
"What?" Yu Jia raised his eyebrows in confusion.
"Originally Wu Mei wanted to kill me, but he stepped in to stop me and saved my life." Yu Shang said weakly.
"Ah?" Yu Jia felt quite baffled when he heard this. He couldn't figure out why Tang Yin wanted to protect Yu Shang even if he tried hard, but the name Tang Yin was deeply imprinted in his mind.
Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen were pulled up to the city wall of Tongmen. Before they could untie the ropes around their waists, Wu Mei walked over quickly and said with a sneer: "You see, you talk about credibility, but the enemy doesn't."
Be honest and don't do such stupid things again!"
Throwing off the hemp rope on his body, Tang Yin said calmly: "I just want to have a clear conscience. As for what others think and do, that is everyone else's business."
Wu Mei raised her eyebrows and was about to speak when the middle-aged general came over. He looked Tang Yin up and down and asked, "Who is this little brother..."
"His name is Tang Yin!" Wu Mei introduced him, then added: "My commander of the Second Infantry Regiment."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was stunned.
People who don't know the inside story are naturally amazed by Tang Yin. The commander of the Corps is not a small position, and he is in charge of tens of thousands of people. Tang Yin looks like he is only in his twenties. He became the commander of the Corps at such a young age. It is a bit unbelievable. He is very likely to be related to Wu Mei.
The relationship between Wu Mei and Tang Yin is not simple. People who know the inside story are even more surprised. The original position given to Tang Yin by Wu Mei was only captain of thousands, so why is he now commander of corps? Isn’t this position promoted too fast?!
Qiu Zhen was the first to react. He was surprised and happy in his heart. He secretly pulled Tang Yin's clothes and whispered: "Thank you, General Wu!"
Tang Yin didn't say anything, but just looked at Wu Mei in confusion. He had clearly contradicted her just now, so why was Wu Mei not only not angry, but also promoted her position?
In fact, Wu Mei also has her own ideas.
In this battle against Ning Guo, her subordinates lost many troops and suffered heavy losses. It was the time when they were in urgent need of employing people. Through her contact with Tang Yin, it was not difficult to see that he was a brave and resourceful genius. Of course, she needed to win over him. In addition, she was very interested in him.
Tang Yin was also very interested and intended to keep him by his side.
"This time you bravely captured Ningguo Prince Yu Shang and saved me and everyone. It's natural to give you a corresponding reward. There's nothing surprising about it." Wu Mei explained in an understatement.
What I said to Tang Yin was also said to others.
After hearing this, the defenders of Tongmen all gasped and began to look at Tang Yin again. It was incredible that this young man could capture the prince of Ning State!
The middle-aged general was also secretly surprised. He had noticed the prisoner Tang Yin was escorting on the top of the city just now, but he didn't expect it to be the prince of Ning State.
No wonder Wu Mei and others were able to pass through Ning Jun's camp unimpeded. No wonder Ning Jun only dared to follow from a distance and did not dare to move forward. Now it can be explained clearly.
He did not dare to have any contempt for Tang Yin anymore, and said with a serious look on his face: "My name is Zongzheng Guangxiao, and I am the guard of Tongmen. Brother Tang can capture the enemy's general among thousands of troops. It is really a hero."
Young man, your future life is terrible!"
Tang Yin secretly laughed. He was able to catch Yu Shang. It can be said that luck accounted for three parts, Yu Shang's carelessness accounted for six parts, and his own force only accounted for one part at best.
He shook his head and said honestly: "It's just that the other party was too careless and my luck was too good."
"Brother Tang is too modest!" Zongzheng Guangxiao looked at Wu Mei and Wuying again, bowed and saluted: "The two generals have worked hard all the way, now they can go to the hotel to rest."
After fleeing all the way, they couldn't eat well and slept restlessly. Both Wu Mei and Wu Ying were exhausted physically and mentally. Now they have returned to Tongmen safely, and their hearts that have been in their throats for the past few days have finally returned to their original place. Wu Mei and Wu Ying really feel that they are back to their original place.
Tired and tired.
Wu Mei nodded and replied: "Okay." After a pause, she added: "My soldiers are also exhausted. General Zongzheng wants to help me get them settled properly."
"Of course, don't worry, General Wu!" Munemasa Hirotaka responded repeatedly.
"General Zongzheng, come with me. I want to know more about the situation in Tongmen." As she spoke, Wu Mei turned back and winked at Tang Yin, smiled and said: "Tang Yin, you come with me too."
Tang Yin had no objection and followed Wu Mei. Qiu Zhen, who was next to him, was not willing to stay alone, so he had the courage to follow Tang Yin. When he saw that Wu Mei did not stop him, he felt a little relieved.
Tongmen is not a town, but a military fortress. There are not many residents in the city, only tens of thousands of people, most of whom are construction workers and their accompanying family members, and some are traders.
The group of them descended the city wall along the stairs and walked into the city.
On the road.
Wu Mei asked solemnly: "General Zongzheng, how many people are there in the garrison of Tongmen now?"
"Less than 20,000!" Zongzheng Guangxiao said with a bitter look on his face: "When we went to Ningguo, the defenders of Tongmen were basically depleted. If some soldiers hadn't fled back in defeat, I might not have even been able to gather 10,000 people!
"
"Where is General Ziyang?" The name of General Ziyang that Wu Mei mentioned is Ziyang Haochun. The Ziyang family, like the Wu family, is one of the four most powerful families in the Feng Kingdom.
Ziyang Haochun was the commander-in-chief of the Feng Kingdom's expedition to the Ning Kingdom, and he was also the main combatant in the Feng King's court. It was precisely because of his strong request for war in front of the Feng King that the Feng Kingdom sent troops to the Ning Kingdom. It can also be said that
He is the culprit responsible for Fengguo's tragic defeat.
"General Ziyang has returned to Yancheng a long time ago. It is said that," Zongzheng Guangxiao looked around, lowered his voice and said: "It is said that when Hedong was defeated, the king was furious and furious. I am afraid that General Ziyang's future is not guaranteed, and he will be implicated.
The entire Ziyang family, and the Wu family..." At this point, he did not continue.
Although Munemasa Hirotaka has a deep friendship with dancers, some things are difficult to explain directly.
Wu Mei understood what he meant, sighed softly, and said, "The dancer can't stay out of it, right?"
Ziyang Haochun took the initiative to ask for war, and the dancers also strongly supported it. Now that the battle is unfavorable and the troops are lost, it is naturally expected that the dancers will be implicated.
"Fortunately, the king has a kind and honest nature, so it won't be too difficult for the dancer." Munemasa Hirotaka consoled him.
Wu Mei chuckled lightly, waved her hand and said: "Don't talk about the dancers, let's talk about you. With the 20,000 people you have, do you think you can really defend Tongmen? According to my observation, Ning Bing has enough
More than 400,000 yuan, even if Tongmen's defense is impregnable, it can't be guaranteed." After thinking about it, she asked again: "By the way, didn't Yancheng send reinforcements?"
"Of course your Majesty has sent reinforcements."
"Who leads the team?"
"Liang Qi!"
"Is it him?" Wu Mei blinked, then shook her head repeatedly.
The Liang family is also one of the four powerful people in the Feng Kingdom, and Liang Qi is the eldest son of the Liang family.
The four major dignitaries of the Feng Kingdom did not live in peace with each other. For their own interests, they fought with each other and had many conflicts. The Liang family had the deepest conflict with the other three major families. The Liang family was firmly opposed to this expedition to the Ning Kingdom.
, none of the ten corps under his command was dispatched, which in turn allowed the Liang family's strength to be preserved.
