Xu Hui, Wei Xuan and other generals did not want Ye Cheng to take the credit alone, so they all said to Li Qi: "General Li, since Tang Yin is dead, our army must not miss this opportunity and should take the initiative to attack the Tianyuan Army's camp."
"this……"
It was a good thing that Tang Yin died, but he still didn't dare to let Li Qi take the initiative to attack. It was difficult for the tens of thousands of Central Army troops to defend the city. If he took the initiative to attack the Tianyuan Army camp with hundreds of thousands of people,
It was tantamount to seeking death. He thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "That's not appropriate! Now, we'd better just sit back and watch it change."
"General Li, this opportunity must not be missed, it will never come back!" Xu Hui urged urgently.
"Oh... let's wait a little longer!" Li Qi is cautious and prudent in his work. It is not unreasonable for Zhong Tian to choose him to guard Yancheng. It is definitely not possible to let people like Li Qi attack the city, but it is also possible to strictly guard the city.
Li Qi was the commander-in-chief of the entire army. He did not agree to attack the Tianyuan Army camp. Xu Hui, Wei Xuan and other generals had no choice. Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
Late that night, Tang Yin woke up from his slumber. At this time, there was only Su Yelei beside him. She was sitting next to the bed and had fallen asleep.
Tang Yin glanced sideways at her, then closed his eyes and felt the injuries on his body.
Most of his internal injuries have been healed by the dark aura. The trouble is the external injuries. Although Su Yelei's medicine is very effective, it cannot be compared with the efficacy of the dark aura. Tang Yin feels as if there are thousands of ants all over his body.
It was painful and itchy when he bit it. He knew that this was a necessary process for wound healing, but it was still unbearable. Tang Yin was so strong that he couldn't help but let out a low moan at this time.
Su Yelei woke up immediately when she heard the noise. She opened her eyes and looked around first, then her eyes fell on Tang Yin's face. Seeing his eyes slightly opened, she asked in surprise and joy: "You
woke up?!"
"Oh..." Tang Yin responded softly and wanted to speak, but his mouth was open and he couldn't say a word. His throat seemed to be on fire.
Without him speaking, Su Yelei already knew what he needed most right now. She stood up and walked aside quickly. After a short time, she came back with a bowl of warm water and handed it to Tang Yin's mouth.
She gently held up Tang Yin's head with her other hand.
Tang Yin looked at Su Yelei gratefully, opened his mouth, and drank a whole bowl of water. After drinking the warm water, he lay down on the bed and took a long breath. He felt that his throat was much more comfortable, and his body was also
Gradually gain strength.
"Do you know that this time you have been through the gate of hell again?" Su Yelei asked expressionlessly while putting away the bowl.
"Fortunately...I went around in a circle and came back..." Tang Yin was able to speak, but his voice was very hoarse and weak. If you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't be able to tell what he was saying.
Su Yelei turned around, met Tang Yin's gaze, and said faintly: "Let's see if you dare to be more powerful in the future! A commander who can take the lead may not necessarily be a good commander, and a commander who sits behind and directs the overall situation may not be a bad commander. The key is
Let’s see if he can save the lives of most of the soldiers.”
He didn't expect Su Yelei to say such words. Tang Yin scoffed at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that her words made sense. He sighed softly and did not answer.
"It's useless to tell you, you never listen to what others say." Su Yelei sat back on the edge of the bed, frowned, and looked down at Tang Yin.
The corner of Tang Yin's mouth twitched and he smiled at her. After a moment of pause, he whispered: "Call Qiu Zhen, I have something to explain."
"Yes!" Su Yelei agreed, walked out of the tent, and told Tang Yin's words to the Shangguan brothers who were guarding the door of the tent.
Yuan Wu and Yuan Biao looked happy when they heard this and asked: "Medical Officer Su, are you awake?"
"Yes!" Su Yelei nodded.
"Then...how is your situation, sir?" they asked with concern.
"Okay, I can't die." Su Yelei responded casually and returned to the tent.
The Shangguan brothers were stunned for a while before they came to their senses. They wanted to rush into the tent and crush Su Yelei to death. However, it was true that she saved Tang Yin who was dying, so the two brothers could only endure it.
Qiu Zhen came very quickly. As soon as he heard that Tang Yin wanted to see him, he didn't even have time to put on his official uniform, so he put on a coat and hurried over.
After seeing Tang Yin, Qiu Zhen stepped forward, lowered his voice as much as possible, and asked: "Sir, how do you feel now?"
"I'm fine." Tang Yin squeezed out a smile to Qiu Zhen. Then, he swallowed hard and said seriously: "Now, what's the reaction from Yancheng?"
Qiu Zhen shook his head and said: "There is no response. However, there are rumors in Yancheng that the master has died of serious injuries and has..." died. Qiu Zhen did not dare to say the last two words.
"Oh?" After hearing this, Tang Yin first confirmed, and then his eyes lit up again. He laughed twice, but then he coughed violently.
Qiu Zhen saw this and hurriedly patted Tang Yin on the back.
Su Yelei said coldly: "Your body is still weak and it is not suitable to talk too much. Master Qiu should go back."
Qiu Zhen looked at Su Yelei, then at Tang Yin, stood up awkwardly, and said, "I feel relieved to know that you are fine..."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Tang Yin waved his hand at him to signal Qiu Zhen not to leave yet. Then he grinned at Su Yelei and said half-jokingly: "Mr. Medical Officer, can you give me a few words?
"
Su Yelei snorted and said nothing more.
Tang Yin then said to Qiu Zhen: "Early tomorrow morning, I will order the entire army to pay filial piety, and our army will retreat from Yancheng."
Phew! Hearing this, Qiu Zhen almost spit out a mouthful of blood. The whole army paid tribute, which would only happen when the coach died. Although Tang Yin was seriously injured now, he had been saved after all. Wasn't this a curse on himself?
! Even Su Yelei on the side was surprised. She opened her eyes wide in confusion and confusion, and looked at Tang Yin without blinking.
Tang Yin didn't know how to use troops. He had heard a lot about it. There were countless examples of cheating death in storytelling. This time, he felt it was a great opportunity to use this tactic. As for the whole army mourning, it was unlucky or not.
, he never thought about it at all.
"Sir, this... let's not talk about the funeral. Let's just say that our army must not retreat from Yancheng. Our army has traveled thousands of miles to fight from Tianyuan County to Yancheng. How many soldiers have been sacrificed and how much blood and sweat have been shed. Once we retreat,
All the previous efforts have been wasted and our army is in danger!" Qiu Zhen poked his head and said earnestly. At the same time, he was very strange in his heart. Tang Yin never gave up until he achieved his goal. This time, he chose to withdraw his army when he failed to attack the city on the first day. It was really not in line with Tang Yin.
personality.
Tang Yin smiled calmly and said: "The mourning and the withdrawal of troops are just a pretense. The purpose is to lure out the defenders in Yancheng. The news that I am dead is spreading in Yancheng. It must have been spread by the defenders.
, let's make a plan and make the whole army pay filial piety, so that the enemy really thinks that I am seriously injured and cannot be cured. Now that I am dead, the Tianyuan army is leaderless, and it is natural to withdraw, as long as the defenders in Yancheng still have some blood and utility.
We are determined to not let go of this excellent opportunity, and we will use all our strength to go out of the city to pursue and kill the enemy. Relying on Yancheng's city defense, we cannot attack the enemy. Once they come out, our army can engage in a head-on battle with them and completely annihilate them.
Not a problem. In addition, when the entire army retreats, you can also separate a group of troops and go around Yancheng. After the enemy troops leave the city to pursue our army, you can take the opportunity to attack the city. For specific details, you can discuss arrangements with the generals.
deploy."
After saying this long speech, Tang Yin was exhausted, he sighed deeply and closed his eyes.
After hearing this, Qiu Zhen's eyes flashed. How could he cheat the Yancheng garrison out of the city by pretending to die? This was really a strange plan. Qiu Zhen was so smart, and quickly realized that Tang Yin's plan was very feasible. He pondered for a moment,
He quickly said: "My lord, this is a very clever plan."
Tang Yin didn't open his eyes, he just waved his hands casually and said, "If it's feasible, let's do it!"
"Yes! Sir, I will go and summon the generals right away."
"kindness."
Qiu Zhen did not delay in the tent, quickly walked out of the camp and went to the central military tent to summon the generals and counselors.
After he left, Su Yelei looked at Tang Yin in surprise, as if she didn't know him. Su Yelei didn't know how to use soldiers, but she could tell that Tang Yin's strategy was very clever. In her heart, Tang Yin was more than brave.
But people with weak minds would never imagine that he could come up with such tactics even though he was seriously injured, so they had to look at him with admiration.
Tang Yin didn't open his eyes, but he could still feel Su Yelei staring at him intently. He asked calmly: "What? Are you looking at me differently again?"
Su Yelei's jade face suddenly turned red when he told the central issue. Fortunately, Tang Yin had his eyes closed, otherwise he would have been amused by her at a loss.
"Take good care of your injuries! If you keep it that much, be careful, it will be a fake show!" Su Yelei cursed with a 'bad intention'.
"..." Tang Yin smiled but said nothing.
Speaking of Qiu Zhen, now that Tang Yin was not here, he sat at the head of the central military tent. After all the counselors and generals had arrived, Qiu Zhen told Tang Yin's plan in detail, and then asked: "What do you think, sir?"
What's the plan?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then said in unison: "Brilliant! This... is this really what you came up with?"
In fact, in the minds of the generals, Tang Yin was not a man who could lead troops in war, but he was able to accept advice very well, which was very remarkable.
After listening to everyone's questions, Qiu Zhen smiled. Even he could not believe that this was a strategy that Tang Yin came up with. He nodded and said, "This is indeed the strategy that your Excellency had in mind." After a pause, he added:
"Since no one has any objections, let's follow the adults' strategy!"
"Yes!" Everyone raised their hands in unison.
After Qiu Zhen ordered everyone to go back, he told the soldiers below that his Excellency had unfortunately died, and asked all the soldiers to pay filial piety. In addition, he arranged for Wu Guang and Zhan Hu to lead 20,000 elite soldiers to guard the entire army.
When retreating, they quietly ambush in the forest ten miles east of Yancheng. Once the Yancheng defenders leave the city, they can take the opportunity to attack the city.
