Tang Yin handed over the defense of the South China Sea to the Pingyuan Army and the Sanshui Army, while he himself commanded the Directly Affiliated Army and the Tianying Army to guard Jianxing.
In the evening, Tang Yin went to Xicheng to check his own defense situation. Along with him were Guyue and Wuying. The Jianxing currently occupied by the Feng Army was no different from an empty city. Under the continuous harassment and assault by the Feng Army,
The people in the city died and fled, and there were only a few left. There were no strong men in the city. The defense of the city could only be completed by the officers and soldiers of the Directly Affiliated Army and the Sky Eagle Army.
Even at this time, late at night, the city wall was still covered with lamps, torches and pitch pine, illuminating the long city wall as bright as day. Countless Feng soldiers went up and down, constantly carrying weapons and equipment needed for city defense.
Go to the city wall.
Tang Yin went to the West City where the enemy was most likely to attack. When he arrived at the West City, he did not see Ziying. When he asked the soldiers below, it turned out that Ziying had gone to the North City to supervise the defense of the North City. Both the North City and the East City were directly under the jurisdiction of the North City.
Gu Yue was worried that Ziying could not command the soldiers under his command over Beicheng, so he told Tang Yin and hurried to Beicheng.
Tang Yin and Wuying went up to the city wall. When the busy Fengjun soldiers saw Tang Yin coming, they hurriedly put down their work and knelt down on one knee to salute. Tang Yin waved his hands and said: "Everyone, get up and don't worry about me.
You are busy with your business!”
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
The soldiers of the Feng Army got up one after another and began to work nervously again. The city wall of Jianxing City is not high. Once the enemy attacks, they can only rely on the complete city defense for defense. On the city wall, there are almost every gap between arrows.
The center is filled with arrows. Every two or three steps there is a pile of neatly arranged rolling logs and rocks. Every ten steps you can see a large oil pan set up. In addition, the city-breaking crossbow and the army-breaking crossbow have been moved.
It was placed a lot on the city. The back body of the crossbow was lifted high so that the edge of the crossbow arrow could be aimed at the city. There were many door panels erected under the arrow stack. Tang Yin understood that they were used to defend against the opponent's arrows.
Shot.
While walking and watching, Tang Yin nodded secretly. If the defenses of the other three city walls were as strong as the West City, even if there were half a million or even a million enemy troops to attack, it would not be a problem for our side to hold on for three days. Tang Yinhe
Wuying walked forward for a while, and then several veterans who were sitting on the ground to rest stood up one after another. These veterans were all soldiers who had followed Tang Yin in the north and south for a long time. Although they respected Tang Yin very much, they were not like the others.
The soldiers were so afraid. The veterans bowed their hands and saluted, and said in unison: "Well done, your king!"
Tang Yin smiled and nodded at a few people, and waved his hands at the same time, indicating that they did not need to be polite. A veteran in the crowd asked slightly worriedly: "Your Majesty, I heard that the enemy who is attacking this time is the most powerful general of the Ning Kingdom.
Led by Changsun Yuanhong."
Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, then laughed silently and asked: "What? Are you scared?"
Of course, the veterans would not admit fear of the enemy in front of their monarch. People shook their heads in unison and said in unison: "As long as the king is here, we are not afraid of anything!"
"Okay!" Tang Yin said with a smile: "Changsun Yuanhong is just a warrior, so what's the point? If he dares to attack Jianxing, I will go out of the city to fight and take his head!"
Hearing what Tang Yin said, the veterans all smiled with peace of mind, raised their hands and said, "Your Majesty is extremely brave, and this time he will be able to kill Ning's army without leaving any trace behind!"
"Haha——" Tang Yin looked up and laughed, without saying anything more, he put his hands behind his back and walked away slowly with leisurely steps.
Now that the two generals Wu Guang and Jiang Fan have followed the Pingyuan Army and the Sanshui Army to the South China Sea, Tang Yin's only strong general is Zhan Hu. Of course, there is also Shangguan Yuanrang who was seriously injured but refused to return home.
In Tang Yin's opinion, Zhan Hu's strength was about the same as Zhan Wudi's. If Zhan Hu were to fight Changsun Yuanhong, he would most likely be defeated. If Changsun Yuanhong really came to attack Jianxing, he would have to do it himself.
Tang Yin was ready to fight. Tang Yin was not afraid in his heart, but was looking forward to it. He really wanted to try out what Ning Guo's most powerful general could do.
After walking a long distance, the veterans could no longer be seen when looking back. Wuying hurriedly caught up with Tang Yin and asked nervously: "The king really wants to fight the eldest son Yuanhong himself?"
Just by looking at the expression on Wuying's face, Tang Yin understood what she was thinking. He smiled and asked, "Do you think I can't beat him?"
Wuying did think so in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it out loud. She quickly lowered her head and said, "I don't dare, general."
Tang Yin smiled, waved his hand, and said, "You don't have to be so polite in private." After a pause, he added, "You always have to try something you don't understand. If you haven't tried it, how do you know if you can do it?
Where are you arriving?”
"Yes!" Looking at the confident Tang Yin, Wuying breathed a sigh of relief unknowingly. Tang Yin had such magical power and would give people an inexplicable sense of security. Tang Yin stood still and looked at the dark outside the city.
He looked up at the night sky and asked: "Xiaoying, you have been with me on the expedition for so long, have you already missed home?"
This time Tang Yin guessed wrong. Wuying really didn't miss home. She followed Tang Yin all the way westward and experienced various wars every day. She was so busy that she had no time to miss home. She shook her head and whispered.
Said: "Not really!"
Tang Yin sighed lightly, looked to the east, and murmured: "I wonder what your sister is doing now?"
Sometimes Wuying couldn't help but be jealous of Wumei. When the war was so tense, Tang Yin would still miss her... She snorted softly and muttered: "What else can I do? Go to bed when you are full, sleep.
Let’s eat again when we wake up!”
"Haha..." Tang Yin couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing this. Although Wuying's words didn't sound good, they were also profound. Although Wuying was so charming and charming, she actually had a very confused personality.
With the temperament of a young lady, she really can't do much in the palace. However, Tang Yin really likes Wu Mei's personality and is willing to take care of her. For Tang Yin who has a strong desire to control, he likes to be controlled by women.
Dependent, and don't like women who are too strong.
Wuying didn't want to talk more about her sister, so she brought the topic back to Hedong and asked: "How confident is the king against Changsun Yuanhong this time?"
Tang Yin had never worried about this issue. He was startled for a moment, then shrugged and said quietly: "This expedition to Hedong can only succeed, it must succeed. I have never considered the issue of defeat."
Wuying stared at Tang Yin for a long time, and finally smiled helplessly. She didn't know where Tang Yin's confidence came from.
Tang Yin suddenly remembered something, waved his hand, snapped his fingers, and called: "Cheng Jin!"
call!
With a roar, a cloud of black mist rose in front of Tang Yin. In just a blink of an eye, the center of the black mist turned into reality. Cheng Jin walked out of the surrounding fog. He knelt down on one knee, stepped in to salute, and asked respectfully.
: "What is your order, Your Majesty?"
Tang Yin had long been accustomed to Cheng Jin coming and going without a trace, but Wuying beside him was still startled and subconsciously leaned towards Tang Yin. Tang Yin turned his head, smiled at her, and patted her naturally
shoulder, and then asked Cheng Jin: "Cheng Jin, have our envoys to the west of Ning Kingdom set off?"
Cheng Jin nodded and said: "We have already set off, but we need to hide our identity when passing through Ningdi, so the speed may be slower."
Tang Yin asked directly: "When will it arrive?"
"My subordinates heard from General Le and General Ai that it will take at least a month to cross Ningguo." Cheng Jin answered truthfully.
"It took so long..." Tang Yin muttered, nodded, waved and said, "I understand, you go ahead!"
"My subordinates resign!" Cheng Jin shook his head, released a cloud of black mist, and disappeared in an instant. He said he was resigning, but in fact he was hiding near Tang Yin. Once an accident happened, he could immediately
Arrive.
Tang Yin said quietly: "It is said that the Yue cavalry is very powerful. It would be great if we could eliminate this powerful enemy."
Wuying asked: "Could it be that the Yue cavalry is more powerful than Bessa's heavy cavalry?"
Tang Yin smiled, shook his head and said: "Our army has fought countless small and large battles with the Besa Kingdom. We are already familiar with the characteristics of the opponent's heavy cavalry, so we have ways to deal with it. As for the Yue Kingdom, we have never fought with them, nor have we ever fought against them.
You know the characteristics of the Yue cavalry. Strange enemies are the most terrifying enemies!" After speaking, he shook his head and said, "Let's go to Nancheng to see more!"
"Okay!" Wuying responded, and then comforted: "In a tough battle, the cavalry will not be used, so the king does not need to worry too much."
Tang Yin smiled lightly and did not answer.
The Feng army intensively deployed city defenses in Nanhai and Jianxing cities, and twenty days passed by in the blink of an eye.
During these twenty days, Feng Jun moved all the national laws of Feng State to Hedong, and abolished all the Ning laws originally used in Hedong. In addition, in order to reduce the resistance of Ning people, or to win over Ning people in Hedong area, Tang Yin accepted
The suggestion of Wang Kai, the head of Hedong County, was to reduce the taxes in Hedong for three years. As a native of Ning, Wang Kai was forced to serve as the head of Hedong County. All he could do for the Ning people was to obtain benefits in terms of taxes.
Now that Hedong is temporarily at peace, the Feng army no longer goes around burning, killing and looting like they did during the war. They basically do not disturb the normal life of the people in Hedong. In addition, Tang Yin exempted and exempted Hedong from taxes for three years.
, all the money earned by an individual belongs to himself, which dispels the idea of many Ningren people moving inland.
What most people consider is very simple. As long as they can live a stable, peaceful and comfortable life, it doesn't matter who rules them. However, there are also some people in Ning who hate Tang Yin and Feng Jun.
They are always looking for opportunities to retaliate. In addition, many rangers from the Ning Kingdom are also gathering in the Hedong area, planning to find opportunities to join forces to fight against the Feng Army.
The Ruoda Hedong area appears to be peaceful and stable on the surface, but in fact it is full of turbulent undercurrents.
Twenty days later, the 300,000 Ninja-Vietnam coalition forces headed by Chang Sun Yuanhong finally arrived in Hedong. However, Chang Sun Yuanhong did not even pay attention to the two cities of Jianxing and Nanhai, which were so close at hand, and led the army directly through the two cities.
, and headed straight to the central hinterland of Hedong and the capital Qingyuan.
