Tang Yin rode his horse and ran all the way to the Zhen camp's central military tent. The central military tent had now turned into a mourning hall, and Yinli's coffin was placed in it. After Tang Yin looked at it, he hurriedly got off his horse and strode into the mourning hall.
The lid of the coffin had not yet been closed. Tang Yin stood beside the coffin, lowering his head and looking inside.
Isn't the corpse lying in the coffin Yinli or who it is? At this time, his corpse has been cleaned and stitched by Zhenjun, and even the armor has been replaced with new ones. It looks like he is lying in it and asleep, but
There was no trace of anger on his body.
After clearly identifying Yinli's body and confirming that he was really dead, Tang Yin's face remained expressionless, except for the pair of bright tiger eyes that narrowed slightly.
"Your Highness King Feng, my general was ambushed by the Sichuan army and killed by the Sichuan people... Wuwu..."
Many generals who chased into the mourning hall knelt in front of the coffin and cried loudly. After seeing the general's death, Feng Wang Neng rushed over immediately, and he did not bring any followers with him. The generals were also deeply moved.
I was moved, as if I had met a relative.
Tang Yin finally spoke, and he said quietly: "Your general was recommended by me at the beginning. I didn't expect that today, he would die in an ambush by the Sichuan army!"
"His Royal Highness Feng Wang must avenge the general!" "Our army will attack Zhaoyang now, vowing to kill all the Sichuan bandits in the city and use the blood of Sichuan people to honor the general's spirit!"
"We can't attack the city now!" Tang Yin frowned and said in a deep voice: "Attacking the city late at night will be detrimental to the attacker. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"
"We can't wait until dawn tomorrow. The general's death was too tragic. We will now taste the blood of the Sichuan thieves!" All the generals were filled with righteous indignation, clenching their fists and speaking with their teeth.
Squeezed out of the seam.
After everyone finished speaking, they all stood up in unison, turned around and were about to walk out. Tang Yin was furious when he saw this, slammed the coffin and shouted: "Everyone, stop for me!"
The Zhen generals were startled by his sudden shouts, stopped, turned around, and looked at Tang Yin with big eyes and small eyes. The latter said coldly: "Now that General Yin has died, the army is missing a commander.
Although I am not a Zhenren, as the king of an allied country, I cannot just watch you die. Now, I have taken over the command of the Zhen army on my behalf. Anyone who disobeys my orders can be regarded as disobedience.
He will be dealt with under military law and will be severely punished without mercy!"
Hearing this, the Zhen generals were stunned. The two countries of Feng and Zhen are allies, and the two armies of Feng and Zhen are allied forces. This is absolutely correct. Now that the general has been assassinated, the army is indeed leaderless. To talk about the reason for the position of commander-in-chief,
It seems reasonable that the Wind King would take over on his behalf.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one stood up to oppose Tang Yin. After all, in the hearts of the Zhen people, Feng Guo was their benefactor, and they also respected Feng Wang's attitude. Furthermore, even if some people were dissatisfied with Tang Yin's decision
, and I don’t know how to refute him.
After a while, General Youzhen stepped out of the line and said: "Your Highness King Feng, our army is now filled with grief and indignation, and they all want to avenge the general. Even if attacking the city at night is not good for our army, we are confident that we can defeat it."
Defeat Zhaoyang in one go!"
"Do you really think that Zhaoyang is that easy to fight? Zhaoyang's defense is so ineffective, can you just wait for it to be defeated?"
Tang Yin looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "There were originally more than 200,000 troops in Zhaoyang City. Now, the hundreds of thousands of Sichuan troops led by Ren Fang have been defeated and retreated to Zhaoyang. The garrison in the city has reached close to 400,000 troops. Furthermore,
It is said that the Sichuan army headed by Buying is now rushing towards Zhaoyang, and the eastern Sichuan area has also organized an army of hundreds of thousands on the way to rescue Zhaoyang. If they attack Zhaoyang rashly, once it enters a tug-of-war, Sichuan will
When the national reinforcements arrive, our army will be attacked from both sides, so how will we respond?"
Ah? The news that Tang Yin said has never been heard by the Zhen generals. There are now as many as 400,000 defenders in Zhaoyang City? There are also hundreds of thousands of reinforcements on the way? How could this happen?
"When did His Highness Feng Wang get the news?"
"Just now!" Tang Yin frowned and said: "The outcome of the current situation is still undecided, and there is no room for sloppiness. Our army is facing Zhaoyang now. Either we don't attack, or we must attack with one strike to win. Do you understand?
?”
The generals nodded blankly, and one of them asked: "I wonder if His Highness, King Feng, has any good ideas?"
Tang Yin took a deep breath and said, "Get the map!"
"Yes!" A famous general hurriedly agreed, quickly took the map and handed it to Tang Yin.
The latter didn't answer and asked him to spread it on the ground. Tang Yin walked to the map, lowered his head and stared at it for a moment, then raised his head and looked around at the people present, beckoning: "What are you doing standing so far away, come here!"
Everyone responded in unison, stepped forward, and gathered around the map.
Tang Yin pulled out his sword, clicked on the map, and said quietly: "The assassination of General Yin this time is indeed sad, but we should turn it into a fighter opportunity and capture Zhaoyang's fighter opportunity in one fell swoop!"
The generals nodded in unison, and one of them asked in confusion: "Your Highness, how do you transform it into a fighter plane?"
Tang Yin did not answer directly, but asked instead: "If the enemy commander is suddenly attacked and killed in front of the formation of the two armies, what will the enemy army most likely do?"
"Oh...the army without a leader will turn into a piece of loose sand, and the morale of the army will be shattered..."
"Yes, the enemy is most likely to be forced to make the choice to withdraw!" Tang Yin said: "So, we can take this opportunity and choose to withdraw overnight..."
"Withdraw the troops?" Before Tang Yin finished speaking, the generals all opened their eyes wide, looking at Tang Yin with confusion and anger, and shouted loudly: "We haven't avenged the general yet, we haven't been able to
How can we withdraw our troops after fulfilling the general's last wish to capture Zhaoyang?"
"Yes, even if we fight to pieces and die together with the enemy, our Zhenjun soldiers will never retreat even half a step!"
Tang Yin frowned, and without saying a word, he raised his sword and struck each one on the head of General Zhen, who was shouting repeatedly. Everyone was wearing helmets, and Tang Yin didn't use much force, so the blows naturally didn't hurt them, but it was effective.
Stop their dissatisfied voices.
He said coldly: "Can you wait until I have finished speaking before you express your so-called bullshit opinions?"
Zhen people have always been tough and afraid of the strong. The tougher, ruder and more brutal Tang Yin is, the more they will be convinced.
People subconsciously raised their hands and touched the helmets on their heads, then smiled sheepishly at Tang Yin, and said to their colleagues on the left and right: "Ah, let His Highness speak first, and let His Highness finish his words first!"
General Tang Yin lowered his sword to the map and said: "The withdrawal is false, but the Tibetan army is real! Here..."
As he spoke, he clicked on a corner of the map and said: "This place is called Cuihuan Mountain. It is only fifty miles away from Zhaoyang. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides and a dense forest in the middle. Our army should quietly hide the main force in Cuihuan in the name of withdrawal."
Yamauchi.”
"I have been to the Cuihuan Mountain that His Highness mentioned. As His Highness said, it is surrounded by mountains and dense forests. There is only one way in and out. It is a small mountain pass. It is indeed very hidden and it is easy to hide heavy troops. But...
…Why do our troops hide their troops here, Your Highness?" General Lei Meng asked in a naive voice.
"That's a good question!" Tang Yin nodded with a smile and said, "The purpose of hiding soldiers is to lure snakes out of their holes!"
As he spoke, he looked around at the crowd and continued: "The Zhen Army retreated, leaving only the Feng Army outside Zhaoyang City. At that time, the Feng Army will attack Zhaoyang alone, and then pretend to lose the troops and retreat. As long as they withdraw.
If the Feng army withdraws again, there will be no threat around Zhaoyang. By then, the Sichuan army in the city will definitely not be willing to let the Feng army run away, and will most likely leave the city to pursue it. As long as the Sichuan army chases out of the city, Zhaoyang will be almost an empty city.
At this time, your Zhen army will come out from Cuihuan Mountain, attack Huanglong, and capture Zhaoyang in one fell swoop!"
When Tang Yin finished speaking, all the generals present brightened their eyes, beamed with joy, and secretly said, What a wonderful idea! This strategy was so good. It cleverly used the general's assassination to hide his troops in Cuihuan Mountain, and then let Feng Jun
Use it as bait to lure the snake out of its hole, and then take advantage of the situation to attack Zhaoyang by surprise and attack it unprepared. Why worry about Zhaoyang not being defeated? The most important thing is that we can advance into Zhaoyang before the Feng army. This strategy is very beneficial to our side.
"Okay! His Royal Highness the Feng King's plan is great!" "As long as the Feng army can lure away the defenders, our army will be able to easily defeat Zhaoyang!"
"In order to ensure the safety of this battle, I will stay in your army to command. Generals, you won't mind, right?" Tang Yin looked around at everyone.
"No, no, absolutely not!" With Tang Yin here, it was too late for them to be happy. How could they rush out? Moreover, Tang Yin could stay alone in the Zhen army, which invisibly dispelled their doubts.
Tang Yin nodded and said with a stern face: "Since you are all willing to accept my commander-in-chief, then I have to say ugly things in front of you. You must obey my words. No one is allowed to act privately. If you disobey my military orders,
By……"
"If you are engaged in military law, you will be punished severely!" all the generals said in unison.
Tang Yin finally had a smile on his face and nodded slightly. Then, Tang Yin wrote out his plan in detail and ordered Yizhen soldiers to send him back to Fengjun camp, while he stayed in Zhen camp and commanded it personally.
The retreat of Zhenjun.
Under his unified command, the Zhen army was divided into two parts, one overt and the other dark. The overt part was fake, with only a few thousand troops. They assumed the posture of the main force of the Zhen army and escorted Yinli's coffin towards the mainland of Zhen country.
After retreating, the dark wave was the main force of the Zhen army and secretly sneaked to Cuihuan Mountain at night.
Just as Tang Yin and Lei Meng said, the terrain of Cuihuan Mountain is very weird, like a giant volcanic crater, with mountains on all sides and a depression in the middle. However, it is not bare here. Both the mountains and the valleys are covered with vegetation.
The trees and grass are growing.
There is only a narrow mountain pass that can enter and exit the valley. To say it is narrow is a relative term. In fact, the narrowest part of the mountain pass is no less than ten meters wide. The valley surrounded by mountains is too big, not to mention hiding hundreds of thousands of people.
Even if we hide millions of people's army, it will be more than enough.
