In Liang Qi's own words, all this was part of his calculation. He deliberately delayed the rescue time because he did not want to leave hope for the 20,000 defenders and make them feel desperate. Only in this way can the strongest combat effectiveness be unleashed at the critical moment of life and death.
, and can also consume the enemy troops to the maximum extent.
The Ning army is not good at close combat in narrow encounters, and the west wall of Tongmen is very weak. Even if the Ning army were to attack Tongmen and use the west wall as a barrier, it would be impossible to defend it. In addition, the enemy army is exhausted and our own army is exhausted.
The attack was unexpected and unprepared. Fighting in Tongmen City would definitely cause great harm to the enemy.
As a result, the Ning army suffered more than 50,000 casualties during the siege of the city, and suffered more than 50,000 casualties in the battle with Liang Qiyi in Tongmen. Its 400,000-strong army had shrunk to less than 300,000.
A fierce battle was indeed very taxing on Ning's army.
In the eyes of Zongzheng Guangxiao, Liang Qi is a typical dandy. He relies on his noble birth and has high ambitions. He can only talk rhetorically and is flashy. As for being able to achieve such an effect, he can't tell whether it is Liang Qi's strategy or his.
Good luck.
Liang Qi snatched back Tongmen and was about to attack Ning's army. Although Zongzheng Guangxiao didn't care about his life or death, he didn't want Feng Kingdom's 100,000 sons to die in vain, so he stepped in to stop him.
He didn't have a good impression of Liang Qi, and Liang Qi disliked him even more. Seeing Zongzheng Guangxiao coming to dissuade him, he sneered and said, "The defeated general still has the nerve to talk so shamelessly in front of me!"
Munemasa Hirotaka's face turned red and pale at the words he said.
Liang Qi shook his head and said: "You are so stupid! If 20,000 people want to defend against the attack of 400,000 people, no matter how strong the Tongmen city defense is, it is impossible to do it. But General Zongzheng knows that he is defeated, but he does not think about changes.
, I'm really stupid. If it were me, I wouldn't have blocked any city gates and killed myself. Although the Ning army was large, it was not good at close combat. 400,000 people gathered outside the city. It was so chaotic at the beginning, and the Ning army knew very well that Tong
There are not enough troops guarding the gate, so we would never have guessed that they would take the initiative to attack. If General Zong Zheng led 20,000 defenders to fight back and attack at night, they would definitely defeat the Ning army. General Zong Zheng, do you believe it?"
"Oh..." Taking the initiative to attack 400,000 people with 20,000 people, only a madman would do this. Munemasa Hirotaka grinned and was speechless.
"I just ask you whether you believe it or not?"
"this……"
"If you don't believe it, tonight, I will take 20,000 soldiers out of the city to attack the Ning Army camp to let you see if we can win!"
"ah?"
"The 400,000 Ning army is nothing special. In my eyes, it's nothing more than nothing!"
"oh……"
"That `s a deal!"
"But..." Zongzheng Guangxiao was stunned for a moment by Liang Qi's words. He didn't know what the Liang family's eldest son was getting up to.
However, Liang Qi was not just talking about it, he actually started to select 20,000 elite soldiers from ten regiments, preparing to rush out of the city that night to sneak attack the Ning army camp.
Seeing that Liang Qi was not joking, Zongzheng Guangxiao was very anxious. It didn't matter that Liang Qi went crazy himself, but he wanted to drag 20,000 brothers to die with him. He couldn't sit idly by and ignore it.
But Liang Qi didn't listen to him at all, and his dissuasion fell on deaf ears.
Just when Zongzheng Guangxiao was as worried as an ant on a hot pot and didn't know what to do, another person came from Yancheng.
This time, a young general came. He was a close confidant of the Liang family and was assigned by Liang Xing to deliver family letters to Liang Qi.
After Liang Qi read his father's letter, he took the initiative to give up his plan to attack the Ning army's camp without anyone else's persuasion, and then began to command his subordinates to strengthen Tongmen city defense. The huge stone mounds that originally blocked the city gate have been moved away.
, he asked people to move it back.
The next day, the Ning army once again launched a large-scale attack on the city. As a result, they were attacked head-on by the defenders headed by Liang Qi. In the end, they failed to achieve any results and retreated hastily.
Over the past few days, the Ning army launched three sieges. After a desperate battle, the Tongmen city defenses were still strong, but the Ning soldiers suffered heavy casualties. In the end, the Ning army did not dare to attack rashly again. The army was stationed outside the city, preparing to fight with Tongmen.
The door started a protracted confrontation.
Liang Qi took the opportunity to report to the king's court, requesting King Feng to send five more regiments to strengthen Tongmen's defense.
Now Liang Qi is a man of the hour in the Feng Kingdom and is very popular. Not only did he defeat the Ning army's attack and recapture Tongmen, but the Tongmen guarded by him was as solid as a mountain. Hundreds of thousands of Ning soldiers could only look at the city and sigh.
After King Feng saw the memorial, he approved it directly without even thinking or discussing it.
After the five corps were transferred to Tongmen, it didn't take long for Liang Qi to submit another memorial, requesting Wang Ting to continue to send additional manpower for the five corps. He would launch a counterattack against the Ning army outside the city.
This time, after discussions with the ministers of the court, King Feng once again approved the detachment of five regiments of troops from various counties and counties and sent them to Tongmen.
Now, Liang Qi is directly in charge of twenty regiments, and the power of the Liang family has completely risen, overwhelming the other three powerful families.
Yancheng, the capital of Feng Country, is also the core of Feng Country. You can't feel the war at the border here. The capital is prosperous, bustling with traffic, and full of vendors. This is the real metropolis that Tang Yin saw after arriving in this world.
.
Not long after returning to Yancheng, Tang Yin's titles were successively increased.
The first time was because he killed an enemy captain of thousands in the Hedong area, and he was granted the title of baronet. The second time was because he captured the third prince of Ningguo in the rebel army and made great contributions to the escape of his own personnel.
He was made a baron, and then the third time came. Because he performed well in the defense of Tongmen, killing countless enemies, and killing the Ningguo Zhendian general, he was made a viscount.
It is extremely rare to have three nobles in one day.
In addition, Qiu Zhen, Guyue and Lotte were also awarded the title of baronetre.
On the second day after Tang Yin was knighted, the letter of appointment officially appointing him as the commander of the Second Infantry Regiment also arrived.
Wu Mei personally brought the appointment letter and official seal. After giving it to Tang Yin, she smiled and said: "General Tang, come with me to the camp in the north of the city!"
During his stay in Yancheng, Tang Yin lived in the residence arranged for him by Wu Mei and had not been to the military camp yet.
He asked: "What are you doing at the camp in the north of the city?"
"Do you want to be the commander of the regiment? The Second Infantry Regiment is about to be rebuilt, and the camp in the north of the city has just recruited tens of thousands of new soldiers. I think you should be interested in selecting them yourself?" Wu Mei said.
Tang Yin suddenly became interested and said with a smile: "Of course I am interested, let's go!"
Qiu Zhen, Guyue and Letian all lived with Tang Yin. They were also interested in going to see the excitement and followed Tang Yin and Wu Mei.
Today, Wu Mei is wearing casual clothes. She is dressed in bright red, a red dress, a red skirt, red pants and red boots. She is like a scorching flame. In addition, she is gorgeous, naturally charming, and charming. No matter where she goes, she attracts attention.
Focus.
And Tang Yin is also in casual clothes. Contrary to Wu Mei, he wears white clothes, white robe, white trousers, and white short boots. As the saying goes, "If you want to be pretty, dress in filial piety." Tang Yin has an extraordinary temperament, handsome appearance, and a natural lightness on his face.
Smiling, paired with a white dress, it looks even more chic and suave.
The two of them rode horses and walked side by side. The handsome men and beautiful women always made passers-by unable to help but look back and take a few more glances.
On the way, Wu Mei said: "The captain is the backbone of the corps. Tang Yin, do you have an ideal candidate in mind?"
After getting along for the past few days, the two of them have become extremely familiar with each other. When talking in private, they always call each other by name.
Tang Yin shook his head and said: "Not yet, but I will choose carefully."
Wu Mei smiled and said, "Do you want me to recommend a few people for you?"
In fact, she didn't need Tang Yin's consent at all if she wanted to appoint a captain, but his status in her mind was different from others, and Wu Mei respected Tang Yin's opinion for the first time.
Knowing that Wu Mei had good intentions and did not want to arrange an informant around him because she didn't trust him, he smiled calmly and said, "Wait a minute. If I can't find a suitable candidate, I'll ask you for help."
"Tonight, there is a banquet in Wufu, and you want to come to attend."
"Do you have to go?" Tang Yin was not very interested in this kind of thing.
"My father also wants to meet you!" The Second Infantry Regiment is a regiment directly under the Dance Family. As the head of the Dance Family, Wu Yu naturally wants to see what kind of person Tang Yin is, who is highly recommended by his daughter.
"Oh!" Tang Yin nodded. Since Wu Yu wanted to see him, he couldn't shirk it. He shrugged and said with a smile, "It's okay to meet him."
"Don't be too nervous when you meet my father, he is very easy-going."
Tang Yin half-joked: "I never know what nervousness is."
Wu Mei rolled her eyes at him angrily, but she was also amused by him and kept giggling.
Seeing the two of them talking and laughing in front, Qiu Zhen, Guyue and Lotte who were following behind couldn't help but look at each other.
Guyue leaned closer to Qiu Zhen on the horse and asked in a low voice: "Is there something between General Wu and General Tang..."
Seeing his ambiguous expression and understanding what he meant, Qiu Zhen smiled and said, "There is no such relationship as you imagined."
"Oh! I thought General Tang could become the commander of the Second Infantry Regiment because..."
"It's not nepotism." Qiu Zhenzhen said, "But it's true that General Wu admires Brother Tang."
"But he is a spiritual cultivator of darkness."
Qiu Zhen couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Do you think everyone has such a deep understanding of family status like you? General Wu admires Brother Tang, do you understand?"
Gu Yue nodded as if he understood, but still wanted to speak. The old Lotte god on the other side muttered: "Gu Yue, when did you become a talkative woman? It's none of your business, why are you asking so much?"
Lotte and Gu Yue knew each other before they joined the army. They were playmates from childhood to adulthood. They were so familiar with each other that they didn't have to worry about talking. They just said whatever they thought.
"I'm just curious. Besides, it doesn't matter. After all, you and I will work under General Tang in the future!" He gradually accepted this fact. Although Tang Yin was not a person he admired very much, after getting along with him for a few days, he felt that Tang Yin was a good person.
Working with subordinates is not an unbearable thing.
