In fact, Ning Jun arrived at Yancheng very quickly. Even now, Ziying's troops are still following Ning Jun and will chase him from time to time. In the past two days, Ning Jun has been harassed by Zi Ying.
Annoyed, exhausted.
Li Qi was led into the camp by Ning's soldiers. When he saw Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi, Li Qi's eyes turned red and he burst into tears.
In Peng State, Li Qi was a general. In terms of military rank, he was one level higher than Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Invincible. Seeing him cry, the Zhan brothers were startled and asked in unison: "General Li, who is this?"
Didn't something happen? You...how are you here alone?"
"Alas!" Li Qi let out a long sigh and recounted exactly how he fell into Tang Yin's scheme and how he lost Yancheng.
After Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi heard this, their heads buzzed. They were really afraid of what could happen. What they were most worried about was Yancheng. Unexpectedly, Yancheng had fallen into the hands of the Tianyuan Army. Zhan Wudi was silent for a moment, then snapped his sword.
Holding tight, he said to Zhan Wushuang: "Brother, our army should march towards Yancheng at full speed and recapture Yancheng!"
Zhan Wushuang took a breath, thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid, it's not that simple."
Now that the Tianyuan Army has entered Yancheng, its strength is definitely not small. In addition, Yancheng's defense facilities are extremely strong. Even Zhan Wushuang has personally conducted self-guided maneuvers. If it is a hard attack, it will only rely on more than 100,000 exhausted soldiers of his own.
, it is really difficult to win. More importantly, we still have a big problem with Ziying behind us. Once we choose to attack the city, and the Ziyings in the rear suddenly come to kill us, won’t our side fall into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides? After thinking about it, the battle
Wushuang felt that storming Yancheng was too risky.
Zhan Wudi looked at his brother and asked, "In my opinion, what should we do?"
Zhan Wushuang took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "The only solution now is to go to Wancheng and meet Zhong Tian!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qi became anxious and said hurriedly: "General Zhan, the main force of the Tianyuan Army has not yet entered the capital. This is a great opportunity to retake the capital!"
Zhan Wushuang looked at Li Qi and sneered in his heart. Of course, Li Qi was eager to recapture Yancheng. Otherwise, he, the city guard, would be punished with death. However, there was no need for him to risk the entire army just to help Li Qi.
Risk of annihilation in the attack on Yancheng.
Now, Zhan Wushuang also understands that Zhong Tian, the Peng King, will be defeated by Tianyuan Army sooner or later. Instead of taking Yancheng by force, he might as well retreat to Wancheng. If he can fight, he will fight, and if he can help, he will help. If that doesn't work, he will go all the way south.
Go to Mo Country. With the relationship between Ning and Mo, Mo Country will definitely accept its own army. Then he will lead his army to use the road back to Ning Country. As for Zhong Tian, it will be up to him whether he lives or dies.
Zhan Wushuang had no intention of fighting for Zhong Tian and Tianyuan's army anymore. He said expressionlessly: "General Li, there is nothing I can do to retake Yancheng. Now our army is exhausted and there are pursuers in the rear.
Unable to continue fighting, we can only retreat to Wancheng to rest and recuperate."
"Absolutely not!" Li Qi was serious. He rushed up to Zhan Wushuang, his knees weakened, and he fell to the ground. He said urgently: "If General Zhan doesn't try to take back Yancheng now, in the future...
There will be no chance again in the future!”
"What are you doing, General Li? Please get up quickly!" Zhan Wushuang stretched out his hand to help Li Qi up, frowned and said in embarrassment: "It's not that I don't help General Li, and I really can't help. Let's go back first.
Wancheng, when all the soldiers recover, we will try to recapture Yancheng."
"It will be too late by then..."
Seeing that Li Qi was still pestering him, Zhan Wudi's face darkened and he said coldly: "We will help those who can, but General Li can't force others to do anything. Do you think our army is weak and easy to bully?" As he spoke, he
His eyes flashed fiercely, staring at Li Qi.
Fighting brothers, father and son soldiers. In fact, Zhan Wudi also believed that he should attack Yancheng now, but seeing Zhan Wushuang's resolute attitude, his brother must have his own concerns and reasons. Zhan Wudi would naturally not help outsiders and turn against his brother.
Seeing the two brothers from the Zhan family, one with a red face and the other with a bad face, Li Qi lamented. He knew in his heart that Ning Jun could no longer count on him and that he was really in trouble.
The Ning army did not advance to Yancheng anymore, but changed direction and went to Wancheng. If Zhan Wushuang did not have so many considerations and selfishness at this time, and really attacked Yancheng, the final result would not necessarily be what it would be.
!It’s just that there are no ifs on the battlefield, and Zhan Wushuang’s selfishness also laid the foundation for his own disaster.
The Ning army marched towards Wancheng, which made Ziying who was following the Ning army sigh. If the Ning army did not go to Yancheng, he had to go. Through the reports from the eyes of the sky and the ground network spies, Ziying now knew that Wu Guang and Zhan Zhan
The 20,000 elite troops under Commander Hu have already captured Yancheng.
At that time, the army and espionage were integrated. Each corps had its own spies, each of which was independent. The information transmission between each other was very blocked, and it was often difficult to take care of everything. However, Tang Yin established the Sky Eye and the Earth Network, so that
The Tianyuan Army has a unified intelligence network, which makes the information transmission between the armies extremely convenient and rapid. If something happens to one side, the sky eyes and ground network spies accompanying the army will immediately release carrier pigeons, so that the entire army can learn about it at the first time.
to relevant situations. Of course, each corps of the Tianyuan Army also has its own spies, but the functions of these spies have been greatly reduced, and they only detect information on the battle situation that is of interest to the corps.
This is a completely modern military concept, and it is undoubtedly the most advanced concept. The reason why the Tianyuan Army was able to move southward from Tianyuan County and successfully capture Yancheng was because Tianyan and Diwang were indispensable and played a vital role.
Tang Yin had never studied military affairs, but he had never eaten pork and had seen pigs walking. In his subconscious, he felt that having a unified intelligence network was extremely beneficial to his side.
Ziying led his 60,000 Sky Eagle Army to Yancheng, and the extermination war on Tang Yin's side was over.
Except for a few of the 60,000-strong Peng Army who escaped by chance, most of them died in the battle, and more than 10,000 people became prisoners of the Tianyuan Army. When Qiu Zhen met Tang Yin and asked him what to do with these prisoners,
Tang Yin smiled faintly and said: "Our army attacked Yancheng for only one day, and more than 20,000 people were killed and wounded. How can we not avenge these dead and wounded brothers?"
The implication is to kill all the prisoners.
After hearing this, Brother Shangguan immediately stepped in to salute and said, "Sir, I will make arrangements right now!"
"Wait a minute!" Before the Shangguan brothers could walk away, Qiu Zhen stopped them and said sternly to Tang Yin: "Sir, these Peng soldiers do deserve to die, but they are also ordinary people. If they are all executed, only
I am afraid that the outside world will think that our Tianyuan Army is murderous and will damage your reputation."
"oh……"
Qiu Zhen knew Tang Yin's personality very well, and knew that if he tried to persuade him to be kinder and softer, it would not work at all. It would be more effective to use an intangible thing like reputation to suppress him. Sure enough, Tang Yin pondered for a moment, shook his hand to Brother Shangguan and said:
"Forget it, let's get rid of all the captured Peng troops!"
"Yes! Sir!" The two Shangguan brothers agreed, and then looked at Qiu Zhen again. Seeing that he had no objection, they took the order and left.
While his own soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, Tang Yin was helped by the guards to get down from the war horse with difficulty. At this time, another guard pulled a carriage and asked Tang Yin to sit in it.
Tang Yin had just boarded the carriage, and before he could go inside, he saw groups of Tianyuan soldiers running over. People did not dare to move forward, and stopped to watch from a distance to confirm that the person on the carriage was indeed Tang Yin. Many soldiers could not bear to
I couldn't help crying with joy.
"My lord, please come into the car." A guard raised the curtain and said respectfully.
Tang Yin looked at the many soldiers wiping tears around him and felt deeply. He paused and waved his hand to the guard next to him, indicating that he would go in later. Then he said to everyone with a smile: "Brothers, you have worked hard in this battle.
This time our army has wiped out the main force of the rebels, and the national thief Zhong Tian is no longer able to compete with our army. Now, everyone can follow me to Yancheng and regain the capital of Dafeng!"
His voice was not loud, but it could be heard clearly by many soldiers around him.
"We don't care whether we can regain the capital, as long as you are safe and sound, we will be relieved!"
"Yes! As long as you are here, our army will be invincible!"
"It's great to see that the adults are okay..."
The soldiers said something to each other, and many of them cried while talking.
Tang Yin was such a cold and tough person, and he never shed a tear no matter how injured he was on the battlefield. At this time, seeing everyone shed tears for his own safety, his eye circles turned red and he almost shed tears. He
He took a few breaths to hold back the mist in his eyes. He sniffed, grinned, and said easily: "I said at the beginning that since I brought everyone out of Tianyuan County, one day we will meet again."
Let's send everyone back safely. Now that everyone hasn't gone home yet, how can I die..." Before he could finish his words, Tang Yin lost strength and fell backwards, sitting directly in the car.
"grown ups--"
Upon seeing this, the surrounding soldiers all turned pale with horror and stepped forward one after another. Just as the guards were about to stop him, Tang Yin waved and smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone, I'm just a little tired."
"My lord is well, brothers, don't worry about me." At this time, Qiu Zhen also saw that Tang Yin was trying to keep his spirits up, but in fact he was running out of energy. He hurriedly stepped forward and said to everyone: "Brothers, please go back first.
Well, we have to rush to Yancheng!"
"Sir, take care!" All the soldiers said in unison, and then reluctantly dispersed.
After everyone left, Tang Yin was helped into the car by the guards and he collapsed. Qiu Zhen hurriedly said to the guards: "Get Dr. Su Yelei and Su! Quick!"
With Tang Yin's appearance, the guards didn't dare to delay. He agreed, jumped off the carriage and ran out.
