The Slave of Darkness is not as simple as Tang Yin said. It is not only scary, but also very powerful in combat.
They have no emotions, no fear, and they can rush forward bravely no matter how many enemies they face; they have no sense of pain and no life, even if they are fatally injured, even if their arms and legs are chopped off, they can still survive.
Use your teeth to bite nearby enemies.
In a melee with a large number of enemies, the five slaves of darkness can exert limited lethality, but the deterrent effect they produce is great. Many Ning soldiers dare not approach them at all, as if they have seen a ghost.
He hid far away.
In this way, the pressure on Tang Yin and Guyue was reduced a lot.
Soon, the two of them worked together to push back the Ning army on the city wall, gaining a short respite. Looking at the five slaves of darkness, two of them had been completely destroyed and almost chopped into pieces, and the other three were completely destroyed.
Both of them were missing arms and legs, and had numerous wounds on their bodies, but they were still able to keep fighting.
Qiu Zhen took advantage of the enemy's retreat and curiously walked up to the three slaves of darkness, looking at them with trepidation.
After watching for a while, he turned to Tang Yin and said with a smile: "Brother Tang, if you make more slaves of darkness, you can help us a lot!"
Tang Yin smiled and said: "With my current level of cultivation, summoning five slaves of darkness is the limit!" As he spoke, he walked to Qiu Zhen, waved the huge sickle in his hand, and followed the three
With a crisp sound, the remaining three slaves of darkness were cut into two pieces.
"Ah?" Qiu Zhen, Gu Yue, and Letian were all startled and screamed. They didn't understand why Tang Yin killed the three slaves of darkness. Although the slaves of darkness were no longer human, after all, they were still alive just now.
Fighting for them and killing them so coldly made the three of them feel uncomfortable in their hearts.
Tang Yin half-knelt on the ground, repainted the six-pointed star with blood, and summoned five new slaves of darkness with the help of Ning Bing's corpse.
Seeing this, Qiu Zhen and the others understood what he meant.
Tang Yin walked to the city wall and looked down. Wherever he looked, there were groups of Ning soldiers, so tightly packed together that they were indistinguishable.
He sighed softly, raised his eyes and looked at the city walls in other directions. In some places, offensive and defensive battles were going on, and in other places, close-quarters killings were taking place. Soldiers from both sides of the enemy and ours were mixed together, with people shouting, horses neighing, shouts, and the sound of iron tools clashing.
There were also screams from time to time, corpses were everywhere, broken weapons were everywhere, and the entire city wall had become a living hell on earth.
Now he finally understood that no matter how strong his personal strength was, his role in such a large-scale war would only be minimal. Of course, this was only his understanding at this stage.
He leaned on the arrow stack, sat on the ground, touched his belly, and said, "It would be great if I could get some food."
Qiu Zhen chuckled, sat down next to Tang Yin, shook his head and said, "Even if you let me eat bird's nests now, I can't eat shark's fins." Surrounded by broken limbs and blood, he felt sick at the thought of eating.
Waves of nausea.
"People are like iron, and food is like steel. If you don't eat a meal, you won't be hungry!" Tang Yin murmured. He raised his head, looked up at the sky, and said quietly: "I don't know how long today's battle will last."
Although Tang Yin was a bloodthirsty man by nature, he was really tired of killing from the morning until now, and he felt an indescribable feeling of exhaustion both physically and mentally.
"God knows..." Qiu Zhen smiled bitterly.
He has no confidence in whether his side can hold Tongmen. If there are no reinforcements, and if we continue like this, no one will be able to escape in the end. "I wonder where General Wu is now..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard the sound of trumpets from below the city.
Blow the trumpet to attack, and call the gold to retreat. This is a military order common to the world.
Tang Yin cheered up, stood up quickly, and said, "The enemy is coming up again!"
Gu Yue is a typical soldier, like a wind-up machine. The wounds on his body have just been bandaged. When he hears the enemy's horn, he jumps up from the ground, grabs the sword, releases his spiritual energy, and completes the spiritual transformation of the soldier.
Get ready for battle.
Sure enough, Ning Jun's attack came again.
In this attack, Ning Bing invested more troops in their section of the city wall. There were no gaps between the ladders. The dark Ning soldiers climbed up the ladders and shouted to kill them on the top of the city.
Next, there was another endless fierce battle.
Ning's army's second attack on the city lasted from noon to evening. It was not until the sky became dark that it was not conducive to attack the city, and then the troops were withdrawn.
This was a war of attrition between the two sides. A total of 100,000 people were put into the siege by the Ning army, but only 50,000 were able to withdraw intact. The casualties reached more than half, and the Feng Kingdom defenders did not take advantage. At the end of the day, 20,000 people retreated intact.
There were hardly any soldiers who were not injured, and the number of those killed alone reached 8,000.
The corpses of the Feng Kingdom soldiers and the remaining corpses of the Ning Army were finally collected together, forming ten mountains of corpses.
The blood has solidified and dried up, and the dark gray city head has turned into black and red. Scattered helmets and weapons are everywhere, countless, and the exhausted soldiers lie down to rest on the spot, covering the city head in random directions. Now,
It is no longer possible to tell whether there is joy or fear on people's faces. There is no emotion at all. What comes into view are the same numb faces.
No one spoke, and no one was in the mood to speak. The only sounds left in the entire city were gasping and the faint moans of the injured.
Tang Yin, Qiu Zhen, Guyue, and Lotte walked towards the tower, and what they saw along the way was this scene.
Suddenly, Tang Yin felt angry in his heart. He was not angry with the Ning army outside the city, but was angry with the Liang family among the four powerful men. He was angry that the Liang family's reinforcements had not arrived for a long time.
The defenders of Tongmen were sacrificing their lives to serve the country, sweating and sweating, with 20,000 men against Ning's army of 400,000. However, the Liang family delayed sending reinforcements because of selfish interests of one kind or another. It was extremely abominable.
He had no liking or disliking for the four powerful people of Feng Kingdom. Even if he was promoted by Wu Mei, he just met her by chance. However, at this time, he felt an indescribable feeling of rejection and anger towards the Liang family, which would become his future.
The main reason for the feud with the Liang family.
"Tang Yin!"
The four of them had just reached the tower when they suddenly heard someone calling his name from above.
He looked up and saw Wu Mei leaning out half of her body from the tower, looking at him with wide eyes in surprise and joy.
At this time, the spiritual armor on Tang Yin's body had long since dissipated, revealing his original appearance. He smiled at Wu Mei, and when he saw that she was safe and sound, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
He climbed up the tower to see Wu Mei.
The tower is not big, four meters long and two meters wide, with less than ten square meters of space.
In the tower, not only the two sisters Wu Mei and Wu Ying were present, but also Zongzheng Guangxiao, the guard of Tongmen.
Munemasa Hirotaka has been directing the overall situation in the tower and has not personally participated in the battle, but at the end of the day, he looked much more haggard.
Wu Mei and Wu Ying were obviously involved in a fierce battle. Their bodies were stained with blood, but they were still energetic and seemed uninjured.
Before Tang Yin could speak, Wu Mei had already said, "Where have you gone? Why have I never found you!"
Tang Yin smiled and said: "I have been in the north of the city."
"Oh!" Wu Mei responded, and then asked with concern: "How is the situation in the north? When the Ning army attacked the city, I found that they invested a lot of manpower in the north."
Tang Yin shrugged and said casually: "What else?!" As he said that, he turned back and pointed at Qiu Zhen and the three of them, and said: "In the end, there were only four of us left, and everyone else was dead."
Wu Mei glanced at Qiu Zhen, Gu Yue, and Letian briefly without saying anything. She sighed softly, turned around, and said to Zongzheng Guangxiao: "General Zongzheng, given the current situation, you are
No matter what, we can't defend Tongmen... We can't delay any longer, so let's go with me. Your Majesty understands the truth and will not punish you in this case."
"Haha..." Zongzheng Guangxiao smiled, his smile was desolate and bitter. He shook his head and said: "Why do I care about whether your Majesty will punish me now? Since Your Majesty has entrusted Tongmen to my guard, then it is
You have placed your trust in me, and I am afraid that I will have to live up to your great trust!"
"General Zongzheng..."
Zongzheng Guangxiao waved his hand, interrupted Wu Mei's advice, and said: "General Wu and I have different responsibilities, there is no need to stay any longer."
Seeing that Wu Mei was still talking, he said seriously: "For more than a thousand years in the Feng Kingdom, there have always been only generals who died in battle, but no generals who escaped in battle. Although I, Zongzheng Guangxiao, am incompetent, I dare not set this precedent.
, to be the sinner of Da Feng. Even though we are outnumbered today and have a narrow escape from death, I will still live and die with the Tongmen soldiers and not insult the majesty of our country, Da Feng."
After hearing these words, everyone present was moved.
The surrounding guards couldn't help but lowered their heads and wiped the corners of their eyes. Wu Mei and Wu Ying also had red eyes and choked up and could not speak. Even Tang Yin felt sour in his heart and sincerely admired Zongzheng Guangxiao.
A courage that would rather break than bend.
"I have only one thing to ask of General Wu." Zongzheng Guangxiao reached into his arms, took out a letter, handed it to Wu Mei, and said: "I hope General Wu can deliver this letter to me after he returns to Yancheng.
My home.”
Wu Mei took the letter with slightly trembling palms, remained silent for a while, and then said again: "General Zongzheng, you..." The words just left her mouth, but when she saw Zongzheng Guangxiao's firm expression, she swallowed back the following words.
I felt that if I continued to persuade him, it would be disrespectful and insulting to Munemasa Hirotaka.
She carefully put the letter away, then nodded seriously and said seriously: "General Zongzheng, please don't worry, I will definitely bring the letter from home."
"Ah, thank you so much, General Wu!" Zongzheng Guangxiao smiled and sighed softly: "This way, I feel relieved."
He looked at the Ning Army's camp outside the city and said, "I wonder if the Ning Army will attack again tonight. General Wu should leave now."
Wu Mei bit her red lips with her teeth, she made up her mind, and decided not to delay any longer. She said, "I'm in Yancheng, waiting for the good news that General Zongzheng has retreated from the enemy!"
Even she herself didn't believe this. By saying this, she was not only encouraging Munemasa Hirotaka, but also giving herself hope that Munemasa Hirotaka could survive.
"Haha, if we are destined, I will see you again, Dance General Yancheng!"
