Following a rush of footsteps, the general Li Yi, who was responsible for guarding the north city gate, arrived. Seeing a general on the top of the city fully armed facing a civilian from his own side, he didn't understand what was going on and frowned.
, shouted: "Who can tell me what happened here? What are you doing?"
When he saw Li Yi, half of the general's soaring arrogance was immediately released. Although he and Li Yi were not in the same corps, Li Yi's official rank was one level higher than his, and he did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of Li Yi. At this time
, the soldiers surrounding Peng rushed to Li Yi and told him what had happened.
Hearing that Tang Yin had knocked down that general, Li Yi was also shocked. In the early Tang Dynasty, a man who did not have any spiritual skills among the common people could knock down a general who was in the realm of transformation, even if he took advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness.
It's incredible. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but release the skill of insight and looked at Tang Yin. Yes, this person did not have spiritual energy cultivation, he was just an ordinary ordinary person. After looking at it, Li Yi couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
Tang Yin quickly walked up to Li Yi, saluted him, and said: "General Li, this general is so unreasonable. He came to the north of our city to recruit people, and he didn't get General Li's approval. When I refused, he
If you want to kill people...General Li, is it the villain who did something wrong?"
Hearing this, Li Yi straightened up immediately and said seriously: "Tang Chu, you are right! No matter who it is, anyone who wants to use my North City Gate must obtain my consent, Li Yi."
An ordinary citizen under his command was able to knock down a general from the east of the city. Li Yi also felt that his face was full of glory, and Tang Yin's questions also gave him enough face. How could his momentum soften in the eyes of everyone.
The general scattered the spirit armor on his body, quickly put away his sword, and then saluted Li Yi and said: "General Li, I am not the one who forcibly pulled your north gate. Now the east of the city is under attack by the Tianyuan Army.
We have launched a fierce attack and our troops are seriously insufficient. I came here to find some reinforcements as I had no other choice. I hope General Li can forgive me!"
"Hmph!" Li Yi snorted and said, "When Beicheng was attacked by the Tianyuan Army for several days in a row, did you send any soldiers from the east of the city to reinforce? Now that Beicheng has finally been peaceful for a while, you are here again.
If there are casualties when you pull people, who does it count? If you don’t have the people you want, you can look for them wherever you like, but don’t come to me!"
The general's face changed slightly, and he said in a solemn voice: "General Li's words are too trivial, aren't they?! Now we are jointly resisting the Tianyuan Army, so what's the difference between you and me?"
Hearing that his words meant to reprimand him, and in front of his subordinates, Li Yi couldn't bear it. His eyes widened and he said coldly: "I'll say it again, if you have any dissatisfaction, please
If necessary, just go to the county chief and file a complaint against me. However, I have to remind you that if the Tianyuan Army uses a trick of suspicion and attacks from the east to the west, and there is an error at our north gate due to lack of manpower, you will have to bear full responsibility.
!”
The general blinked his eyes and was speechless by Li Yi's high-sounding rhetoric. After being stunned for a moment, he nodded repeatedly at Li Yi, raised his hands with a smile on his face and said: "Okay, okay, okay!
I’ll teach you a lesson! Farewell!” After saying that, he turned around and glared at Tang Yin, stretched out his hand and nodded at him again, and then strode away angrily.
"Hmph! What?!" Looking at the general's back, Li Yi snorted, then he looked at Tang Yin, smiled, raised his thumb, and said: "Tang Chu, you did well this time, if you want
What reward?”
Tang Yin grinned and said: "The villain does his duty without asking for rewards!"
What generals like most are subordinates who ask for nothing. Li Yi looked up and smiled and said: "It is only natural that you should be rewarded for your merits, but now is not the time to reward. When the Tianyuan army retreats in the future, I will promote you to the army."
Be the captain!"
"Thank you, General!" Tang Yin smiled secretly in his heart. After waiting for tomorrow, whether Li Yi can save his life is a question!
Tang Yin was not timid because the other party was a general. He begged the people under his command and even made the other party suffer a big somersault. This not only won the respect and love of the people, but also made other Peng soldiers look at him differently and show some physical strength.
I was too embarrassed to ask him to do any work, so my attitude towards him became more polite.
Tang Yin was also happy to relax, and took the time to rest, replenish his physical strength, and recharge his batteries for tomorrow's battle.
In the evening, Tang Yin went to the top of the city to help the soldiers of Peng defend the city. Originally, the soldiers did not look for him, but he came on his own initiative. Waiting until midnight, when the soldiers of Peng on the city were a little tired, Tang Yin would write
He pulled out the cloth strip and tied it to the arrow. Seeing that no one was paying attention to his side, he picked up the torch and swung it back and forth on the top of the city.
He had night eyes, so even if it was pitch dark outside the city, he could still see clearly. When he saw vague figures moving in the darkness outside the city, Tang Yin understood that the hidden arrow personnel lurking outside the city had noticed his signal, so he immediately put down the torch.
, raised the bow and arrow, pointed it outside the city, and shot an arrow with all his strength.
The arrows broke through the wind and made a whistling sound. Naturally, the Peng soldiers on the left and right heard it and turned to look at him. Because of what happened the night before yesterday, the soldiers were not surprised. There were some people among them.
He joked: "Tangchu, did you see someone outside again?"
"Yeah! I don't know if I'm dazzled again this time!" As he spoke, Tang Yin pretended to poke his head and look outside the city.
The Peng soldiers shook their heads and laughed, and ignored them. Tang Yin squinted his eyes and saw that the black shadow outside the city had already moved away from the arrow he fired. He felt relieved, threw away the bow and arrow in his hand, sat on the ground, closed his eyes and rested.
, waiting for dawn.
He has already planned that tomorrow, he will attack from all sides, but the focus of the attack will be on the west and north sides of the city. The west side of the city will naturally be supported by the surrendered Du Qing, while he will personally support the north side of the city.
Coordinate and find opportunities to unexpectedly open the city gate and let your own army enter the city.
There was nothing to say all night. When it was dawn the next day, the Tianyuan Army's attack began again. Just as arranged on his banner, the Tianyuan Army attacked from all sides this time. The North City that had just been peaceful for a day suffered another attack from the Tianyuan Army.
There was a strong attack, with countless arrows, boulders, and crossbows flying from outside the city. Under the violent impact of the Thunderbolt Chariot and the Ram Chariot, the entire northern city wall was shaking back and forth, as if it might collapse at any time.
On the other side, the West City was attacked equally fiercely. A large number of defenders and civilians rushed to the top of the city to resist the swarming Tianyuan Army.
Under the city, Du Qing looked solemn. He looked up at the situation on top of the city, and his heart rose to his throat.
At this time, two generals came quickly to him. They looked to the left and right and saw that there was no one waiting. Then they whispered: "General, brothers are all ready. As soon as you give the order, we will take action immediately!"
These two generals were loyal confidants of Du Qing. One of them was Liu Yuan and the other was Zhang Qing. Each of them was in charge of more than a thousand Peng troops. The two of them had no doubts about Du Qing's plan to defect before the battle. On the contrary,
I feel that this is the right thing to do. If we continue to hold on, the city will be broken sooner or later. Instead of being killed by the Tianyuan Army, it is better to fight to the death and defect to the Tianyuan Army.
After listening to what the two men said, Du Qing nodded, but did not give an order. Instead, he raised his eyes to the top of the city and remained silent.
Liu Yuan and Zhang Qing were afraid that Du Qing would suddenly regret it at this time, so they whispered: "General, don't wait any longer. The Tianyuan Army's offensive has already begun. Let's take action quickly!"
"No! Don't worry!" Du Qing waved his hand and said, "Let the others put another one on the city!"
He was also worried that there were too many soldiers left behind the city, which would create greater obstacles for his side to open the city gate. Either he didn't take action, or he had to be absolutely sure if he wanted to take action.
Liu and Zhang secretly gulped, glanced at each other, and then shouted loudly to the soldiers around them: "Why are you standing there in a daze? Come up quickly! Even the brothers who haven't seen you in the city can't hold on."
Are you staying?"
Many Peng soldiers were yelling in their hearts, the enemy is attacking so fiercely now, why don't you go up to the city wall? However, Liu Yuan and Zhang Qing were both Du Qing's trusted generals, and the soldiers did not dare to disobey them and bite the bullet.
Rush towards the city.
Soon, the battle became a stalemate. From time to time, the fierce charging Tianyuan Army climbed to the top of the city, but was immediately beaten down by the defenders on the top of the city.
Both Liu and Zhang couldn't wait any longer, and once again wanted to persuade Du Qing to take action, but before they could speak, Du Qing had already taken out a black scarf from his armor, then covered his spiritual armor, and put it on
The black scarves were tied around their arms. Seeing this, Liu Yuan and Zhang Qing immediately understood that they were about to take action. They both turned around and waved to their more than a thousand subordinates.
The two thousand soldiers under them did not move. After seeing the two men waving, the soldiers took out the black cloth towels they had prepared and quickly wrapped them around their arms. Then they each held weapons and prepared to charge forward. Liu Yuan and
While Zhang Qing covered his spiritual armor, he also looked at Du Qing. The latter's eyes widened suddenly, he raised his arm, swung forward fiercely, and shouted: "Do it!"
Following his order, Liu and Zhang, as if they had been on steroids, let out a strange scream and rushed towards the city gate, shouting loudly: "Kill -"
Wow - the general has taken the lead, how can the soldiers below be polite? More than 2,000 Peng troops swarmed forward.
There are still many Peng troops in the city gate hole holding up the city gate to prevent the Tianyuan army from breaking through the city gate from the outside and attacking those who are approaching. They never dreamed that the enemies would suddenly come up behind them, and these enemies were 'one of their own'.
Liu Yuan and Zhang Qing were the fastest, rushing to the city gate hole first. Each of them held a spiritual spear and began to stab the soldiers who were holding the city gate in a frenzy.
Pounce, pounce, pounce - with the muffled sound of the gun blade penetrating armor and flesh, more than a dozen soldiers died in the blink of an eye. The faces of other soldiers changed greatly with fright, and they all shouted in horror: "General Liu, General Zhang
, we are our own people, why did you kill your own people..."
