"General Zongzheng, farewell!" Wu Mei said, without stopping, turned around and walked towards the bottom of the tower.
Seeing Tang Yin standing still, fearing that he would become stubborn again and insist on staying in Tongmen, Qiu Zhen hurriedly pulled the corner of his clothes and whispered: "We should leave too."
Tang Yin had no intention of staying in Tongmen, he was just thinking about things.
He nodded to Qiu Zhen, signaling him to calm down, and then said to Guyue and Letian: "You two, come with me!"
"What?" Guyue and Letian were both stunned. They were the defenders of Tongmen. How could they leave with Tang Yin?
Looking at the blood stains and wounds on their bodies, Tang Yin said: "You two are both injured now. Let alone fighting, even walking is a problem. What can you do if you stay?"
When Gu Yue heard this, he was furious and said angrily: "Do you think I am a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? General Zongzheng would rather live and die with Tongmen, how can I shrink back?!"
Tang Yin sneered and said, "Do you think that making unnecessary sacrifices is the so-called loyalty to the country?"
"You..." If Tang Yin's official rank was not higher than his own, Gu Yue would have really wanted to rush over and punch him twice. Of course, whether he could beat him was another question.
Wu Mei, who was about to go down from the tower, stopped and turned back to look at Tang Yin curiously. She didn't understand why Tang Yin, who had always been cold and unsympathetic, was suddenly so determined to take these two people away.
In fact, Tang Yin has his own plan.
Since he decided to stay in the military and develop, he wanted to do well and become stronger.
Although Wu Mei gave him the position of commander of the Second Infantry Regiment, it was just a vacant position. The Second Infantry Regiment had already been exhausted in the Hedong area. After returning to Yancheng, they would definitely recruit people to rebuild. As for whether they could recruit
He didn't know what kind of person he was, but he was optimistic about the abilities of Gu Yue and Letian, and wanted to bring them under his command. Furthermore, the people he personally selected could easily be cultivated into confidants. If there was only one Qiu
Really, how can it be used?
Wu Mei didn't understand what Tang Yin was thinking. She thought that he had developed feelings for Gu Yue and Letian after fighting side by side for a whole day, and couldn't bear to see them stay in Tongmen waiting to die.
She shook her head and smiled, and said: "These two are General Zongzheng, Tang Yin, please stop forcing others to do things!"
Gu Yue and Letian had not been in the army for a long time, and their official ranks were not high. They were just captains in charge of hundreds of people. Zongzheng Guangxiao did not know them at all. Seeing that Tang Yin insisted on taking them away, and they were indeed injured, Zongzheng Guangxiao
Zheng Guangxiao was also willing to be a favor and said to Gu and Le: "General Tang is right. I see that you two are seriously injured. Even if you stay, you may not be able to make a difference, so you should follow General Tang!"
"General Zongzheng..." Gu Yue and Letian knelt down together and said at the same time: "My subordinates are not afraid of death!"
"I know." Zongzheng Guangxiao said with a smile: "In fact, as General Tang said, it is better to make unnecessary sacrifices than to leave a useful body and serve the country in the future!"
"General Zongzheng..."
"No need to say any more, you two can go!" After that, he said to Wu Mei: "I didn't plan to trouble General Wu anymore, but there are many injured soldiers in the city. I wonder if General Wu can take them all away?"
This is a troublesome matter. There are at least a thousand wounded soldiers, and Wu Mei has only a few available soldiers. How can we take away so many people? She pondered for a moment and said: "I will do my best, and I will take away as many as I can."
"
"It's really troublesome, General Wu."
"General Zongzheng is too polite."
In this way, Wu Mei and others left Tongmen, and Tang Yin also achieved his wish and took away Guyue and Letian. At the same time, they also took hundreds of seriously injured defenders with them.
On the way back to Yancheng, Guyue and Letian both had cold expressions, were silent, and had a bad look towards Tang Yin.
Knowing that the two of them felt uncomfortable, Tang Yin was not surprised. He walked up to them and said, "Don't think that not being afraid of death means that you are loyal and noble. There are many people in this world who are not afraid of death. It's meaningless."
Death only represents stupidity and ignorance!"
Tang Yin spoke directly and without any mercy.
When Gu Yue and Letian heard this, their expressions became even more ugly.
"Death can be heavier than... heavier than mountains, or it can be lighter than hair. If you two insist on choosing the latter, then I won't stop you two. This place is not far from Tongmen. You two can go back now.
!" He wanted to say that death is more important than Mount Tai, but then he thought that they didn't know what Mount Tai was, so he simply omitted it.
Gu Yue wanted to speak, but he had already raised his breath, but he opened his mouth and did not spit out a single word. After a moment of silence, the breath he had raised was released again.
In fact, what Tang Yin said was right. With their current situation, even staying in Tongmen would have no effect. It would only be able to add two heroic souls to the Tongmen defenders.
What they were dissatisfied with was Tang Yin's attitude of forcibly making the decision without consulting their wishes, which hurt their self-esteem.
After hanging his head and being speechless for a long time, Gu Yue squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Thank you."
In any case, Tang Yin actually saved him and Lotte, and he felt that he should be grateful.
Tang Yin took a deep look at Guyue and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"From now on, you two are with me!" he said, turned and walked away.
"Although I thank you, it does not mean that I will do things for you in the future!" Tang Yin's natural and unacceptable attitude when he spoke is really hard to accept. Furthermore, he is also a dark spiritual cultivator.
Although he had been fighting side by side with him for a whole day, Gu Yue still had a vague feeling of rejection in his heart.
Tang Yin smiled without looking back, just waved his hands casually and said, "If you two find a better destination in the future, I don't mind if you two leave."
"You..." Gu Yue pointed at the back of Tang Yin's head, not knowing what to say to him.
Cold, arrogant and arrogant, this is how Gu Yue feels about Tang Yin currently.
Not long after Tang Yin left, Qiu Zhen came again, handed them two small medicine bottles, and deliberately explained that they were the hemostatic and painkillers Tang Yin asked for from Wu Mei.
It was indeed Tang Yin who asked for the medicine, but he did so only after Qiu Zhen reminded him.
Tang Yin is willing to accept these two people, and Qiu Zhen agrees with both hands. To achieve great things, of course he needs the help of a large number of capable people. In Qiu Zhen's opinion, Gu Yue and Letian are both very capable and honest people. Once they sincerely surrender,
Tang Yin can make people feel at ease.
Along the way, they did not encounter the reinforcements heading to Tongmen, and they did not know where Liang Qi, who was commanding the reinforcements, had taken the troops. Wu Mei, Wu Ying and others all looked melancholy. They knew full well that there were no reinforcements.
Tongmen simply could not withstand the next round of Ning's attack, and this time the farewell to Zongzheng Guangxiao became a permanent farewell.
What's more terrible is that if Tongmen is lost, Yancheng, the capital of Feng, will no longer be able to defend. Wang Tinghui will always be threatened by Ning's army, and Feng Kingdom will never have peace.
Wu Mei paid attention to the situation in Tongmen and sent dozens of subordinates to ride fast horses between Tongmen and the team, so that she could always know the news from Tongmen.
The next day.
The first wave of spies brought back news that Ning Jun had launched another large army to attack the city early this morning. This news made Wu Mei and others feel anxious.
The waiting time always passes slowly. In the evening, the second wave of spies came back with desperate news, saying that the Tongmen city defenses had been broken, and the Ning army entered Tongmen. Zongzheng Guangxiao led the remaining defenders to retreat into the city, and fought with
Enemy troops engage in street fighting.
When the enemy broke through the defenses and entered the city, it was almost equivalent to losing the city. After receiving the news, everyone fell silent.
Next, spies returned from time to time, reporting on the specific situation of the Tongmen attack and defense.
After the Ning army entered Tongmen, they went on a killing spree, killing all the defenders and ordinary people.
Zongzheng Guangxiao, who was fighting the enemy in the city, was besieged by the Ning army. After a desperate fight, he led the remnants to break out of the siege, gathered the scattered defenders in the west of the city, and then launched a counterattack against the Ning army.
The battle was extremely fierce. With the enemy outnumbered and ourselves outnumbered, Zongzheng Guangxiao led his troops to force the Ning army who had reached the center of the city to retreat to the east of the city. Then the Ning army invested more troops to fight back. Both sides fought at Tongmen.
You and I fought for the central area of the city, and there were dozens of battles, but no one gave up an inch of ground.
This really proves the saying, "Every inch of mountains and rivers is worth an inch of blood."
In the end, the defenders led by Zongzheng Guangxiao were outnumbered and were forced to exit Tongmen through the West City Gate. At this point, the Ning army completely occupied Tongmen.
Later, something dramatic happened. Just when the Ning army had just occupied the entire Tongmen and was killing the people in the city and starting to massacre the city, 100,000 Fengguo reinforcements headed by Liang Qi miraculously appeared.
The east side of Tongmen directly faces Ningguo. The city wall is high, thick, extremely strong, and the city defense is also complete. To the west of Tongmen is the mainland of Fengguo. The city wall is only symbolic. It means nothing. Liang Qi's one hundred thousand
The reinforcements rushed into Tongmen without much effort and started a city battle with Ning soldiers inside Tongmen.
The advantage of the Ning army lies in long-distance arrow shooting, while the specialty of the Feng soldiers is face-to-face close combat, using their own strength to attack the opponent's shortcomings. It is also a local battle, and the Tongmen city is not large. Although the Ning army has a large number of people,
There are many but they cannot all squeeze into the city and cannot be deployed. How can the Feng army be invincible?
It's a pity that the Ning army had a large number of troops, but they were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the Feng army. They threw away their armor and were in a state of embarrassment. The battle only lasted for two hours, and the Ning army that had just entered the city was forced out.
This time, the defender of Tongmen was replaced by Liang Qi, and the defenders were replaced by ten regiments under the Liang family. It was already extremely difficult for the Ning army, which had been fighting for two consecutive days, to attack Tongmen again.
As for Zongzheng Guangxiao, he was lucky enough to have escaped death. However, Liang Qiyi, relying on his noble birth and arrogance, simply put him aside and ignored him at all.
The city defense had not yet been completely consolidated, and the eager eldest son of the Liang family began to move the obstacles blocking the city gate again, preparing to launch a counterattack against the Ning army outside the city.
The outcome of the Tongmen battle was beyond everyone's expectation. Monk Zhang Er was also confused on Ning Jun's side. Who could have guessed that Liang Qi and his men would suddenly appear out of nowhere at this critical moment.
