Zhan Wushuang led the Ning army to continue marching towards Yancheng. Ziying immediately ordered the Sky Eagle army to pursue them. When the Sky Eagle army was on the mountain, Zhan Wushuang might have been worried. Now that they were down the mountain, Zhan Wushuang was no longer worried and immediately gave the order.
The whole army, the rear team changed into the front team, to meet the Sky Eagle army chasing from behind.
Seeing Zhan Wushuang getting into a fighting stance, the Sky Eagle Army immediately stopped chasing, formed a formation, and faced off with the Ning Army. Seeing that the opponent was stationary, the Ning Army began to take the initiative to attack. More than 100,000 Ning Army lined up neatly.
The phalanx pressed forward step by step towards the Sky Eagle Army. If they wanted to engage in a head-on battle with the Ning Army based only on the Sky Eagle Army's combat effectiveness, they would undoubtedly be hitting the stone with an egg. Ziying knew this truth well, and when he saw this, he immediately ordered the entire army to retreat.
The current situation is completely opposite to that just now. The Sky Eagle army is running in front, and the Ning army then covers up and kills them. The Sky Eagle soldiers may not be good at fighting, but they can still run very fast, and they wear leather armor, which makes them agile and convenient.
He was also nimble when running, but Ning Jun, who was wearing a steel helmet and armor, was tired and panting not long after chasing him, and his speed was greatly reduced.
Seeing that this was not the way to go, Zhan Wushuang had no choice but to order the entire army to stop chasing and continue to go to Yancheng. However, they stopped chasing, and the Sky Eagle Army turned back and continued to chase after Ning Jun. When Ning Jun again
When they turned back to fight, the Skyhawks ran away again.
Several times like this, the Sky Eagle Army was like gummy candy, clinging to the Ning Army but not confronting the Ning Army. Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi were harassed by the Sky Eagle Army's tactics, and their teeth were filled with hatred.
It's itchy, but there's really nothing you can do about them.
Both sides went back and forth a few times, and it was already dark. After a whole day, Ning's army had not even gone twenty miles out of Qiangu Valley. On the contrary, the soldiers were exhausted and had to walk two hundred miles.
The miles are still hard.
The next day, the situation was the same as the previous day. The Sky Eagle Army continued to chase Ning Jun. Once Ning Jun showed a posture of fighting, they immediately stopped chasing. The two sides stopped and stopped.
In terms of marching speed, the 130,000-strong Ning army was dragged down by the mere 70,000-strong Tianying army, which made them frustrated and miserable.
In fact, within Zhong Tian's sphere of influence, Ziying should not be able to fight so easily. As long as the surrounding counties send troops to assist the Ning army and hold back the Tianying army, Ziying's tactics will not be effective. However, at this time, various
All the counties are sitting back and watching, standing still. No one is willing to come out to stir up trouble at this time. The county and county heads are all waiting for the outcome of the Battle of Yancheng. If Zhong Tian can defend Yancheng, they will continue to support him.
Zhong Tian, if the Tianyuan Army can capture Yancheng, they can also defect to the Tianyuan Army as soon as possible. In short, not helping both sides now is the safest strategy.
With the mentality of the county and county heads, the Ning army was completely alone and was dragged 200 miles west of Yancheng by 70,000 Sky Eagle troops.
Taking advantage of the opportunity created by Ziying, the main force of Tianyuan Army launched a fierce attack on Yancheng.
Yancheng is too big for the Tianyuan Army to launch a siege. Similarly, the defenders in the city cannot be comprehensive. The 80,000 Central Army guards such a large Yancheng. It is short of manpower and stretched. It cannot look forward or backward or left.
Right, they could only rely on Yancheng's solid city defenses to resist desperately, and the battle was extremely difficult.
The Tianyuan Army did not use all its strength on the first day of the siege, but only put all its manpower into the second day of the siege.
As the two main directions of attack, the battle at the north gate and west gate of Yancheng was particularly fierce, with soldiers on both sides suffering heavy casualties.
Tang Yin was in charge of the direct army and attacked the west gate of Yancheng. The person responsible for guarding the west gate of Yancheng was Lieutenant General Ye Cheng and Pingnan General Wang Mao.
At this time, Ye Cheng and Wang Mao used all their strength to fight. They both understood that they could still save their lives if the city was in the city, but if the city was destroyed, even if the Tianyuan Army did not kill them, Zhong Tian would not be able to spare them. They would have to fight to the death.
In the end, there was no choice. At noon, the battle had reached a fever pitch. Ye Cheng and Wang Mao had already gone into battle in person, commanding their soldiers to resist the fierce attack of the direct army.
There are rolling logs, pounding stones, and kerosene on the top of the city. There are nearly a hundred large trebuchets in the city, which can be attacked from far and near. They pose a great threat to the direct army, especially the trebuchets in the city, which will throw huge rocks from the city from time to time.
came out and smashed into the camp of the direct army, and a large number of people fell immediately. When people finally rushed to the city, they had to face the rolling logs, hammering stones, kerosene, and Peng Army's city defense weapons flying down from the top of the city.
It seems that there is an inexhaustible supply, an endless supply, and there are countless corpses of soldiers directly under the city outside the city.
Tang Yin, who was watching the battle from behind, frowned. If this continues, all his brothers will be unable to get close to the city.
Thinking about it, he turned back and pulled out the two swords. As he waved them, the two swords transformed into scythes and turned into sickles. Then he said to Qiu Zhen beside him: "I will supervise the formation on my behalf!" After saying this, he also
Qiu Zhen couldn't answer, so Tang Yin urged his horse with his sword and rushed straight to the battlefield ahead.
"Big..." Qiu Zhen just yelled out a big word, and Tang Yin had already galloped a long way away. He shook his head helplessly, and said anxiously to the four brothers Wu Guang, Zhan Hu, and Shangguan behind him: "Hurry up and protect him.
grown ups!"
In fact, there was no need for Qiu Zhen to say anything. Seeing that Tang Yin had already entered the battle in person, the four of them had already mounted their horses. As soon as Qiu Zhen finished speaking, they had already rushed out.
Speaking of Tang Yin, when he approached his own camp, he jumped off his horse, dragged his sickle, and rushed forward on foot.
After walking a few steps, a huge boulder shot from the city flew towards him. The soldiers around him were so frightened that they dodged to the left and right, but Tang Yin did not give in and continued to charge forward, just waiting for the boulder to hit his head.
At that moment, he swung the sickle in his hand with all his strength.
Click!
With a crisp sound, the round boulder launched by the trebuchet was cut in two by the sharp edge of the sickle. After landing, looking at the boulder, the cut was as smooth as a mirror.
"grown ups--"
At this time, the surrounding soldiers discovered Tang Yin's presence and screamed in unison.
Tang Yin ignored them. After chopping down the boulder, his forward speed did not slow down at all. In just a moment, he rushed to the bottom of the city wall. He raised his eyes and looked up, and then a black mist rose up around him, and his figure disappeared.
, when he showed up again, he was already on the top of the city.
"kill--"
As soon as he appeared, a large group of central troops holding sabers and spears rushed over. Tang Yin held a sickle in one hand, and after a round of shouts, there was an endless sound of clicking, and dozens of spears were stabbed by his sickle.
After sweeping away, before the soldiers could retreat, Tang Yin swung out another sword.
flutter!
More than a dozen Peng soldiers were stabbed in the chest. The dark fire spread from the edge of the sickle to their whole bodies. The people's bodies exuded a trace of white mist, and then they fell to the ground like deflated rubber balls. See the kill.
The enemies at the top of the city were ferocious, and more Peng troops were rushing towards them. Tang Yin was surrounded by so many people that there was not even a gap between them.
Tang Yin sneered, stretched out one hand, and used the Shadow Curse, one of the extinct shadow systems. The black ball of light flew into the Peng Bing camp, and countless people were affected by it. However, the Shadow Curse could not spread further. Ye
Cheng and Wang Mao arrived with a dozen Peng generals. They all released spiritual pressure to suppress the soldiers affected by the shadow curse, and then pushed them towards the city with spiritual pressure.
The Peng soldiers carrying the Shadow Curse fell to the bottom of the city, which was a pain to the direct troops outside the city who were attacking the city. The Shadow Curse does not distinguish between friends and foes, and affects everyone it sees. In an instant, screams outside the city were heard.
They were all in one piece. Tang Yin looked down and his heart suddenly tightened. He shouted loudly: "Spread out! Everyone spread out!"
His shouts seemed insignificant on the chaotic battlefield. Not to mention that no one could hear them. Even if they heard so many direct troops, they couldn't get out of the way all at once. When people finally avoided the influence of the shadow curse, they could
By the time the effect gradually wore off, the number of direct soldiers who had been damaged by the Shadow Curse had reached hundreds.
The main reason why Tang Yin could not use the Shadow Curse on the battlefield was that it did not distinguish between friends and foes and was uncontrollable. This time, he thought that even Zhong Tian had retreated from Yancheng and there were no masters in the city, so he used the Shadow Curse.
When I came out, I didn't expect that there were still many highly skilled generals among the enemy soldiers.
Looking at the tragic death of his own soldiers outside the city, Tang Yin's eyes turned red. He glared at Ye Cheng, Wang Mao and others, and shouted: "I want your lives!" As he spoke, he disappeared and reappeared.
At that time, Ye Cheng and others were approaching, and they slashed with all their strength with the sickles in their hands.
Tang Yin used all his strength, with astonishing power, the sickle cut through the air and made a harsh whistling sound.
Seeing the terrifying momentum, Ye Cheng and others did not dare to resist its edge, and everyone retreated and dodged in unison.
sand!
The sickle almost passed by the spiritual armor on their chests, leaving a long scratch on their spiritual armor. This knife also made Ye Cheng and others break into a cold sweat. They waited until they retreated into Tang Yin's attack range.
Afterwards, they spoke in the same breath, and Ye Cheng asked suspiciously: "Who are you? Tell me your name!"
"Tang Yin!"
Before Tang Yin finished speaking, the sickle was swept towards Ye Cheng and others with strong wind. However, after Ye Cheng and others heard his name, their expressions changed. No wonder this enemy's dark spiritual cultivator is so powerful.
, it turned out that he was Tang Yin. Seeing Tang Yin coming to attack again, Ye Cheng dared to laugh and said: "Tang Yin, your death day has come today!"
As he spoke, the spear in his hand shone with a strange brilliance, and the cross slash roared out. At the same time, Wang Mao and others on his left and right also released their spiritual martial arts skills and swept towards Tang Yin. For a moment,
I saw countless spiritual waves and spiritual thorns all shot towards Tang Yin.
Unexpectedly, Tang Yin's figure suddenly disappeared in front of their eyes. Just as everyone was stunned, there was an evil wind behind him and a spiritual wave struck him.
No! Ye Cheng and others were all experienced spiritual cultivators. They immediately realized that the other party had appeared behind them in the form of a shadow clone. People rushed forward in unison, and at the same time they counterattacked and stabbed Tang Yin behind him.
They were fast, but Tang Yin was even faster. He used Shadow Drift again and appeared in front of everyone. His strange movement was like a ghost.
