Chapter 554
Under Han Shi's persuasion, Yan Xi gave up the idea of ​​continuing to attack Daping City and led the remnants of the Guihai Army back to Longmen Mountain, preparing to withdraw along the original route.
However, it is not as easy for them to withdraw now as it was when they came. There are currently a large number of wounded soldiers in the army who cannot withstand the long journey, and they are still in such a difficult environment of barren mountains and mountains. This requires Huan Jun to
Rest for a few days and deal with the injuries of some of the wounded soldiers before setting off.
Regarding this point, Han Shi is not in a hurry. In his opinion, his side has lost the strength to attack Daping City, and the Jade Army does not have the strength to take the initiative to attack. There is no danger to his side stationed in Longmen Mountain for a period of time.
But this time Han Shi's information was wrong, or he missed one factor: the Sanshui Army and the Sky Eagle Army were rushing toward Daping City.
On the second day after the Jade Army ambushed the Huan Army, spies from the Sanshui Army and the Tianying Army arrived at Daping City in the afternoon. After seeing Tang Yin, they reported to him that the leading troops of the two armies had approached Daping City and were currently 100 meters away from Daping City.
Pingcheng is only fifty miles away.
This news made Tang Yin overjoyed, and also made the officials and generals of the Jade Kingdom breathe a sigh of relief. The Sanshui Army and the Tianying Army came to reinforce him, so he no longer had to fear the Huan Army.
The vanguard of the Sanshui Army and the Tianying Army only had 30,000 people, but they were personally led by Liang Qi and Ziying, accompanied by generals Zhan Hu and Wu Guang. The following soldiers were also the elite of the two armies.
When they arrived at Daping City, Tang Yin personally came out of the city to greet them. After all the generals saw Tang Yin and Yin Rou, they all knelt down and bowed with great ceremony, while all of them had tears in their eyes. The Sanshui Army and the Tianying Army also knew about Tang Yin.
With the news that Tang Yin and Yin Rou were attacked and disappeared, I thought that the king was in danger this time. Now that they saw that Tang Yin and Yin Rou were safe and sound, everyone was excited and agitated, and they could not control their emotions.
After helping the generals up one by one, Tang Yin took Liang Qi and Ziying's hands and sighed sincerely: "I am looking forward to your arrival with so much anticipation!"
This is the truth. Now the Huan Army does not dare to attack Daping City, but Tang Yin does not want to let them go, and with the combat power of the Yu Army, taking the initiative to attack is undoubtedly an egg against a stone. Now that his own soldiers have arrived, Tang Yin finally takes the initiative
The capital to attack.
"Where have the king and the princess been for more than a month? The brothers have searched all over Feng Kingdom, but they have not found the king and the princess." Liang Qi asked with concern as he accompanied Tang Yin to the city.
Tang Yin and Yin Rou looked at each other and smiled, and then he told everyone how he took Yin Rou through Longmen Mountain and how he came to Daping City. After listening to it, even Zhan Hu sighed repeatedly about how dangerous it was.
so close.
Ziying rubbed his chin and murmured: "The current Huan Army should not be underestimated. It avoids the main force of our army, launches surprise troops to sneak attack on our country, drains fuel from the bottom of the cauldron, and attacks the enemy unprepared. It is amazing!"
Liang Qi smiled, shrugged and said, "It's not that the Huan army is powerful, it's just that our army underestimates the enemy."
As he spoke, he said to Tang Yin: "Your Majesty, Huan State currently deploys all its troops on the borders of Anguo and Anhuan. This is a good opportunity for our army to march straight in..."
Before he could finish speaking, Tang Yin waved his hands repeatedly and said, "These matters can be discussed later. Now, what I want is to completely annihilate this Guihai army of Huan Kingdom."
Wu Guang asked curiously: "The Guihai army was ambushed by the king and suffered heavy losses. They did not dare to attack Daping City again. Have they retreated now?"
"Probably not!" Tang Yin shook his head and said: "After a huge defeat, the Guihai Army suffered a lot of casualties. It must take a few days to rest before retreating."
Ziying nodded and continued: "The king is right! The period when the enemy's army is resting is a good opportunity for our army to take the initiative and annihilate it in one fell swoop."
Liang Qi said: "Our army can divide into two groups, advance forward in one direction, and bypass the enemy's rear in the other. Attack from both sides, and we can easily defeat the enemy."
Ziying said: "Soldiers are valuable and quick. Tonight is the best time to attack. We can have a night battle with the enemy!"
With Liang Qi and Ziying around, Tang Yin didn't have to use his brain. These two were top-level commanders. Whether it was planning long-term tactical strategies or handing over hand-to-hand command on the spot, no one could surpass them.
.
Tang Yin couldn't help but laugh out loud as he listened to the two of them talking quickly. This was his usual style. In just a few words, he finalized the tactics for defeating the enemy. The next thing to do was to make concrete decisions.
preparation.
Even though Liang Qi and Ziying only brought 30,000 soldiers, they were all elites of the Sanshui Army and the Sky Eagle Army. In Tang Yin's eyes, these 30,000 soldiers were better than the 100,000 or more soldiers of the Jade Army.
He narrowed his eyes, a sneer appeared on his face, and said quietly: "Tonight, I will avenge my shame and make sure that the Guihai army will never come back!"
Late that night, the Feng army led by Tang Yin quietly left the city. Thirty thousand soldiers, with grass in their hands and bells in their horses' mouths, quietly headed towards Longmen Mountain.
In order to ensure the concealment of this operation, a large number of spies accompanying the army were dispatched by Liang Qi and Ziying in advance to eliminate the Huan Army posts and informants along the way.
This marching army, like a ghost army in the middle of the night, marched very fast and rushed to the Longmen Mountain area non-stop.
Entering the mountain forest, Feng Jun took a short rest first, and Liang Qi and Ziying took this time to divide their work.
After discussion, Liang Qi led the elite Sanshui Army with 15,000 people to attack the front of the Huan Army, and Ziying led the elite Tianying Army with 15,000 people to attack the rear of the Huan Army. Liang Qi was assisted by Zhan Hu.
Ziying was assisted by Wu Guang.
After the two of them finished their discussion, they reported to Tang Yin. The latter had no objection and decided to follow Ziying to detour behind enemy lines.
Tang Yin had inquired about the Huan Army's garrison before, and he had a relatively good understanding of its situation. He also knew the safest way to get around behind enemy lines, so it was most appropriate for him to lead the way.
Let's talk about Tang Yin, who led the soldiers of the Sky Eagle Army through the forest quickly. He deliberately made a big detour to avoid the Huan Army's hidden sentry as much as possible. Although it wasted a lot of time, his actions could be more concealed and less likely to be exposed.
It took Tang Yin and others more than an hour to go around this big bend. When they arrived behind the Huan army station without anyone noticing, it was already early in the morning, just in time for the attack scheduled with Liang Qi.
On the other side, it was already more than half the time when Liang Qi met Yin, and it was time for his own side to take action. He sent the order, and the whole army advanced to launch an attack on the Huan Army's garrison.
Following his order, the soldiers of the Sanshui Army spread out in the forest, keeping the distance between them at about three steps, and slowly pushed forward like a big net.
Just as they judged, Huan Jun never dreamed that his station would be attacked by the enemy, and the enemy was not the Jade Army, but the Feng Army, which was much better than the Jade Army.
The Huan army was not prepared at all, and even the sentries placed in the forest were not vigilant. The soldiers on guard were sitting under the trees in twos and threes, dozing off. This was even more difficult for the Feng army to prepare for a sneak attack.
Due to the inconvenience, many Huan Army sentry posts fell victim to the Feng Army in their sleep.
When the Feng army advanced to the front of the Huan army's station, the Huan army guarding the camp gate was still sleeping, but there were already spiritual cultivators among these Huan army posts, and their ears were much sharper than ordinary soldiers.
A spiritual cultivator who was responsible for guarding the main entrance was the first to notice the abnormality. In his sleep, he vaguely heard the rustling of grass. The spiritual cultivator stirred up and suddenly woke up. He instinctively looked around.
The forest before dawn was too dark, and even a spiritual cultivator could only see less than ten steps away. The man looked around for a while, but he couldn't see anything, but he just felt something was wrong, specifically.
He couldn't tell either.
He stood up, casually pulled a torch from the wall of the camp, and walked slowly towards the woods ahead. When he reached the edge of the woods, through the light of the torch, he suddenly discovered that there was something dark in the woods.
The shadow shook, and the man's expression suddenly changed. He opened his mouth and was about to ask a question when he heard a whoosh and a crossbow arrow flew out of the woods and hit him in the chest.
"ah--"
As soon as the cry of the spiritual cultivator came out, there was a whooshing sound in the woods, followed immediately by a series of muffled sounds.
Look at this spiritual cultivator again. His head and body are covered with black crossbow arrows. He looks like a hedgehog. His eyes are round and his mouth is wide open, but he can't shout a word. His body is standing straight.
He fell down on his back.
Plop! His body fell heavily to the ground, and the heavy hitting sound also woke up the other Huan soldiers.
People opened their hazy sleepy eyes and looked at each other with blank faces. Soon, someone saw a torch on the edge of the woods in front of them and muttered strangely: "Who left the torch and where did it go?"
"I don't know! Huh? Where's Brother Gu?" "I didn't see it. He was here just now!" "Then go take a look over there in the forest!"
Several Huan soldiers staggered over. When they were far away, they only saw the torches and not the body beside them. Now when they got closer, they immediately found the corpse of the spiritual cultivator lying next to the torch, filled with crossbow arrows.
All the Huan soldiers were shocked, and someone screamed: "No, Brother Gu will die..."
Before Huan Bing finished shouting, a crossbow arrow flew towards him, hitting him in the mouth, and the tip of the arrow poked out from the back of his head.
"It's an enemy attack -" As the Huan soldier fell to the ground, the people around him finally reacted and shouted in unison. However, they soon followed in the footsteps of their companions, and shot out from the woods incessantly.
Their bodies were riddled with holes from crossbow arrows.
At the same time as these Huan soldiers fell to the ground, a long row of Feng soldiers sprang out from the woods.
These soldiers all held repeating crossbows, and while running forward, they continuously triggered the crossbow machine. The sound of the crossbow arrows breaking through the wind was endless. The soldiers guarding the camp gate were hit by arrows one after another, and they were shot to the ground.
.
When Sergeant Feng fired all the arrows in the crossbow, he immediately hung the crossbow on his back, drew out his saber, took off the shield on his back, held the sword in one hand and the shield in the other, and charged forward with all his strength.
