No one thought that An Jun, who had always been greedy for life and fearful of death, would actually use the method of killing both sides of the city, pouring a large amount of kerosene on the city wall in advance, and burning the soldiers of both sides who were fighting desperately on the city wall to death.
This fire burned from the top of the city wall to the bottom of the city wall, even the Fengjun outside the city was affected. Many people were on fire, shouting and rolling all over the ground. The Fengjun who were not affected were also washed by waves of heat waves.
You have to keep retreating.
Looking at the city wall that turned into a wall of fire in front of them, the soldiers of the Feng Army were all dumbfounded. They had experienced countless siege battles, but this was the first time they encountered the enemy who used such means to defend the city. Looking at the people struggling in the sea of fire,
The crowd, hearing the heart-rending screams, felt chills in their hearts.
At this moment, a roar was suddenly heard from the city gate tower. Then, a fire shadow came out of the city gate tower and fell sharply from mid-air. There was a heavy muffled thump and the fire shadow fell heavily.
When it fell to the ground, the flames were blown far away.
People couldn't identify who this person was at all, and when they were hesitating whether to step forward to rescue him or not, someone in the Feng Army suddenly shouted: "It's the king! Put out the fire quickly! Brothers, hurry up and help the king put out the fire!"
Upon hearing that the Hokage was the Great King, all the soldiers of the Feng Army took a deep breath and gathered around him. They either took off their outer cloaks or tore off their military robes, and vigorously slapped the flames on the Hokage's body.
Soon, another soldier took off his helmet, dug out sand from the ground, and sprinkled it on the Hokage.
Under the rescue of many wind troops, the fire on the Hokage's body was finally extinguished. People looked at it carefully. At this time, the person lying on the ground and almost buried in the sand was not the king or who?
Now, the spiritual armor on Tang Yin's body had been burned red, and white smoke was hissing out. He lay prone on the ground, breathing heavily.
"Your Majesty!" Ah San, Ah Si, Jiang Fan, Cheng Jin and others rushed out from the crowd and dragged him out of the sand with all their hands.
They were about to help Tang Yin up when the latter suddenly shook his body, throwing everyone away, and then jumped up. Even though he looked extremely embarrassed, he still held the spiritual sword tightly in his hand.
After getting up, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "What a shame, An Ren, let me continue to attack the city!"
Everyone looked at each other in shock. The city wall of Yuzhen had been burned to this state. It was not known how long the fire would stop. How could we attack the city now?
Ah San and Ah Si were about to speak, but when they took a closer look, they suddenly discovered that Tang Yin's eyes were tightly closed, and the surrounding areas of his eye sockets were red. Even with his eyes closed, tears were still flowing out.
It looks like the king's eyes were burned! Ah San and Ah Si both stepped forward, supported Tang Yin's arms, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the fire on the city wall is raging and will not be extinguished for a while. The soldiers are really
We can’t continue to push forward, so today… let’s suspend the siege today!”
The spiritual armor could protect Tang Yin's body from being burned, but the only thing it couldn't protect was his eyes. At this time, when his two ears heard what Ah San and Ah Si said, he clenched his fists vigorously and pondered for a long time. Fang followed.
He squeezed out a sentence between his teeth: "Retreat the troops for now and fight again tomorrow!"
The North City where Tang Yin was mainly attacking temporarily withdrew its troops, and the Feng Army on the east, south, and west sides also chose to withdraw one after another. The whole day's siege finally came to an end with the Feng Army's active retreat.
In this battle, both the offensive and defensive sides suffered a lot of casualties. The An army suffered 30,000 casualties, and the Feng army suffered similar losses. The largest casualties occurred on the Beicheng side.
An entire city wall was burned, and more than 20,000 Feng'an and Feng'an soldiers were buried in the sea of fire alone. When the battlefield was cleaned up after the war and the corpses were cleaned up, the scene was filled with a burning smell, and burnt black bodies could be seen everywhere.
A group of deformed corpses.
Many of the corpses were made up of several or ten people hugging each other, forming a ball, and they could not be separated. The armor and military uniforms on the corpses were completely burned, and it was impossible to tell which ones were our own brothers and which ones were the enemy's.
wreckage.
The scene was so miserable that it felt as if hell had appeared on earth, making people shudder.
The corpse collection teams on both sides were unable to distinguish and confirm the corpses of the enemy and our soldiers in detail. They could only determine that the corpses on the wall were An Jun, and the corpses under the city wall were Feng Jun. Personnel from both sides loaded the corpses into trucks.
, transport it down.
On the first day of the siege, the An army's North City general, Lieutenant General Cheng Huaisong, died for his country, and six of his ten generals were lost. However, the Feng army did not get any advantage, at least Tang Yin's eye was burned.
This made the soldiers of the Feng Army very worried.
Fortunately, Tang Yin is a dark spiritual cultivator, and his own recovery ability is very strong. In addition, Su Yelei and other medical officers carefully treated him, and the burns on his eyes were quickly controlled, but it still needed some time to recover. For the time being,
Unable to see.
At night, Feng camp, Zhongjun tent.
Now, Tang Yin's eyes have been treated with medicine and wrapped with a thick layer of gauze. He is sitting cross-legged in the middle of the central military tent, with the generals sitting on both sides. Looking at Tang Yin's appearance, Ziying asked in a low voice with concern
: "Is the king's eye injury okay?"
"It's just a minor injury." Tang Yin replied nonchalantly, then he clenched his fist, beat it hard, and said in a deep voice: "An Ren is disgusting, he actually poured fire oil on the city wall, trying to kill me.
The soldiers died together, who is this Cheng Huaisong?"
The generals looked at each other. In fact, the information on Anguo that Feng Jun had was very limited, and they did not take Anguo seriously. There were only a few Anguo generals they were familiar with and understood. Cheng Huaisong was just a lieutenant general, also unknown, who
I will pay attention to him again!
"Perhaps, even Anguo's dead soldier, no matter what, he has been buried in the sea of fire today, so the king no longer has to worry about it." Qi Heng comforted.
"Of course I won't worry about a dead person. What I want to know is how many people like Cheng Huaisong there are in Anguo, and how many generals are willing to die with our army!"
Tang Yin turned to face Qi Heng, even though he shrank his neck in fright and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to say anything more. Ziying then said: "There shouldn't be many people like Cheng Huaisong in Anguo, otherwise, there wouldn't be many people like him."
Only Beicheng will be doused with fire oil."
Tang Yin nodded and said: "Tomorrow morning, our army will continue to attack the city. This time, no matter what, we must tear apart Anjun's city defense and break into Yuzhen!"
Liu Zhang bowed and cautiously raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, our army has consumed most of the stone bullets and crossbow arrows today. If we continue to attack tomorrow, I am afraid that the brothers below will suffer heavy casualties!"
His words resonated with many generals, and people nodded, indicating that what Liu Zhang said was correct. Tang Yinze raised his eyebrows and asked, "Liu Zhang, what do you think?"
"Our army will rest for a few days, and it will not be too late to attack Yuzhen after we have prepared enough stone bullets and crossbow arrows."
"Our army is resting and recuperating, and An's army is also resting and recuperating. If the two armies are facing each other, how can we give the enemy a chance to breathe? It will be exhausted in one go, then weaken again, and then exhaust three times. If it is delayed, it will be detrimental to our army. We must start a war tomorrow, and we must not do it.
Let Anjun think that our army is weak."
Tang Yin spoke categorically, with a firmness that could not be rejected in his tone. Xiao Muqing immediately nodded his head and responded: "What the king said is absolutely true. Our officers and soldiers are now in good spirits. If we truce because of the unfavorable first battle, it will be greatly damaged."
The morale of our army.”
"Tomorrow, the New Army will still focus on attacking the North City, the Pingyuan Army will take the initiative to attack the East City, the Sky Eagle Army will take the initiative to attack the West City, and the Directly Affiliated Army will take the initiative in the South City, and will continue to put pressure on the defenders of Yuzhen. Anren was weak in nature and started a war of attrition. Over time,
There will be chaos within the An army."
"Yes! I will obey the order!" The generals heard that the king was determined to fight, and they did not dare to mention the word truce. People stepped in to accept the order.
After the accounts were settled, Tang Yin returned to his sleeping quarters with the support of Asan and Asi. Not long after he sat down, Ren Xiao came.
He said: "I went to see Medical Officer Su just now, and I heard from Medical Officer Su that His Highness's eye injury can be cured in three to five days."
"It's nothing serious now, it's just that it's still a little dry." Tang Yin shrugged with a smile.
At this time, Yin Lan also walked in from the outside, came to Tang Yin's side, and whispered: "Your Majesty, this is the news I just got." As she spoke, she handed an origami letter to Tang Yin. When he didn't pick it up, she
Then she suddenly remembered that the king was still unable to see. She opened the origami and said: "It is reported that many rangers from Ningdi, Modi, Huandi, Andi, and Zhendi are gathering at Kawaguchi County in Anguo."
"Kawakou County?" Tang Yin subconsciously held up the map on the desk in front of him and muttered: "Kawakou County is not close to Yuzhen."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the way from Imperial City to Kawakou County is through Yihe and Baijin County." Yin Lan replied.
"Do you know the purpose of the rangers from all over the country coming to Kawaguchi County?"
"It's still unclear what their intentions are, but it is very likely that they are coming for our army." Yin Lan analyzed. Now the two countries of Feng'an are at war. At this juncture, the rangers from all over the country were stunned. Tang Yin said,
Then he looked up and smiled and said, "This is a good thing!"
Yin Lan and everyone on the side were stunned and didn't understand why Tang Yin said that.
Tang Yin sneered and said: "Anguo is now at the point of life and death. If our country annexes Anguo again, its national power will be stronger and its strength will be even greater. Presumably, this will make many people anxious and make many people who hate our country Feng have to
Surfaced. For our country, this is a good opportunity, a good opportunity to catch all these people with ulterior motives!"
"The king means..."
"Ignore them, let them gather in Kawaguchi County. After we capture Yuzhen, we can then concentrate on encircling and suppressing these reckless rangers!" Tang Yin raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a bloodthirsty smile.
