After withdrawing their troops and returning to the camp, the generals of the Sichuan and Zhen armies gathered in the central military tent. Due to the unsatisfactory battle, the atmosphere in the big tent was also very depressing. Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.
Ren Fang did not sit down, but paced back and forth behind the handsome case with his hands behind his back. After walking for a while, he stopped and said expressionlessly: "Generals, please tell me why little Jinyang can resist
We attacked with hundreds of thousands of troops, but the defenders inside were less than 100,000."
Yes, Jinyang City is small, the city defense is also poor, and the Feng Army has less than 100,000 troops, but it can hold its own army firmly outside the city. The generals are also puzzled by this. At this time, be responsible
Zheng Liao, the leader of the first group to attack the city, intervened and saluted, saying: "General, the houses in the outer city of Jinyang are the biggest problem. There are a large number of dark spiritual cultivators in the Feng Army. They sneaked out of Jinyang and used
The house serves as a cover, and the killer appears and disappears suddenly, making it difficult to guard against. Unknown how many of our soldiers were killed or injured by the sneak attack of the dark spiritual cultivators. This also makes the brothers who are attacking the city have worries and find it difficult to exert their full strength.
"
Regarding Zheng Liao's explanation, Dian Cang, the leader of the second siege team, had a deep understanding of it. He nodded his head and continued: "General Zheng is right. The dark system cultivators of the Feng Army are indeed our army."
The huge resistance during the siege. During the battle, they attacked our soldiers everywhere and constantly created chaos. Although our army has a large number of troops, it often lacks stamina at critical moments. This is the reason!"
The two siege generals both attributed the unfavorable siege to the dark spiritual cultivators of Feng Kingdom, and Ren Fang was skeptical about this.
As far as he knew, although Fengguo allowed and even encouraged the existence of dark spiritual cultivators, there were not many dark spiritual cultivators in the country, and even fewer who could be called masters. They were basically gathered in the Dark Arrow organization.
. And the total number of members of Dark Arrow is only about 300. Even if they are all in Jinyang, how can they possibly destroy the siege of hundreds of thousands of our own troops?
Seeing Ren Fang frowning slightly, Zheng Liao, a Sichuan general, immediately understood that the general did not believe his words. He hurriedly said: "General, two of the four assistant generals of the last general were cultivated by Feng Kingdom's dark system.
Two of the five corps commanders under his command also died at the hands of dark spiritual cultivators. If the generals are like this, it can be imagined that the brothers below will suffer."
Ren Fang took a breath. When the first siege team withdrew, two generals and two regiment commanders from the Sichuan Army were killed. It turned out that the four of them did not die in the siege, but all died from the dark system.
At the hands of a killer, this would be terrible. Ren Fang raised his eyebrows, stared at Zheng Liao, and asked doubtfully: "Is this true?"
Zheng Liao said seriously: "General, I will never say anything false!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Dian Cang sighed quietly on the other side and said bitterly: "Several of the generals under the command of the last general were stabbed by dark spiritual cultivators. Among them, six generals were seriously injured and three were killed."
Ren Fang clenched his fists, and the two siege teams suffered heavy losses due to the dark spiritual cultivators in the Feng Army. He could no longer let it go and had to find a way to eliminate the threat of the dark spiritual cultivators. He
He looked around at everyone and asked: "Generals, do you have any way to defeat the dark spiritual cultivators?"
"This..." The generals looked at each other, but no one said anything.
Both Sichuan and Zhen countries strictly prohibit spiritual cultivators from cultivating dark spiritual martial arts. Zhen Kingdom is bordered by the Divine Pond and is deeply influenced by the Divine Pond. Naturally, it is determined to put an end to dark spiritual cultivators. However, Sichuan Kingdom has always regarded itself as orthodox and everything is correct.
Reasoning method, strongly promote the light spiritual martial arts, and completely suppress the dark spiritual martial arts. There are almost no dark spiritual cultivators in the two countries, and people's understanding of the dark spiritual cultivators is only superficial. As for the
People couldn't come up with any good ideas on how to deal with dark spiritual cultivators.
Seeing that no one answered, Ren Fang looked at Nie Ze and asked, "General Nie, what do you mean?"
Nie Ze's face turned slightly red, and he shook his head and said, "I don't know much about dark spiritual cultivators. As for how to deal with them, I couldn't think of a good way for a while..." Nie Ze is the commander-in-chief of the Zhen Army.
He is good at spiritual martial arts, so it would be too difficult for him to come up with a way to deal with dark spiritual cultivators.
At this time, Sichuan General Wu Rui stood up, sneered, and said: "General, it's not difficult to deal with dark spiritual cultivators!"
"Oh?" Ren Fang's eyes lit up and he asked, "General Wu, do you have any good ideas?"
Wu Rui smiled and said: "The reason why dark spiritual cultivators are difficult to deal with is because the shadow drift in dark spiritual martial arts is too weird and mysterious. As long as the dark spiritual cultivators cannot use shadow drift, they can only
Let our army slaughter you!"
This is the truth, but the question is how to prevent dark system cultivators from using shadow drift? Wu Rui saw everyone's doubts, and he said with a smile: "What are you afraid of with shadow drift? Afraid of locks! As long as we can use the dark system to
If the spiritual cultivators are under control, their shadow drift will be unable to be used. Our army can first set up traps inside and outside the houses near the city wall, mainly using ropes. As long as the dark spiritual cultivators appear and enter the trap, they will be used by ropes.
Tangle them tightly and they won't be able to escape even if they want to."
That’s it! All the generals nodded, thinking that Wu Rui’s idea was a good one. The Feng Army could set up traps for themselves inside and outside the house, so why couldn’t they do the opposite and set traps for the dark system cultivators in the Feng Army?
Where's the trap?
Ren Fang blinked his eyes, pondered for a moment, stroking his palms and said, "What General Wu said is true. What do you generals think?"
"We also agree with General Wu's method of setting up a trap to attract the dark spiritual cultivators in the Fengfeng Army!" All the generals said in unison.
Wu Rui added: "It is not enough to set up traps. This army must also select a group of outstanding spiritual martial arts masters to deal with the enemy's dark spiritual cultivators. If we only rely on ordinary soldiers, even if we can lock the opponent
I'm afraid the other party will cut off the rope and escape as soon as possible."
Ren Fang gave a gracious expression, thinking that Wu Rui's idea was extremely thorough. He nodded and said, "Okay! After the generals go back, they will immediately select the spiritual cultivators in the army. The Sichuan and Zhen armies will each send fifty people to deal with Feng.
The army's dark spiritual cultivators, these hundred people...will be led by General Wu, do you generals think it is feasible?"
The idea was Wu Rui's, and Wu Rui himself was a famous general in Sichuan. He was highly skilled in martial arts, brave and good at fighting. There was no objection from the generals of the Sichuan and Zhen armies, so the matter was settled.
After a siege battle, the Sichuan and Zhen allied forces have attached great importance to Tang Yin and An Jian, a group of dark spiritual cultivators, and have thought of countermeasures. On the other side, in Jinyang City.
At the end of this day's fierce battle, the New Army's seriously injured personnel plus the dead soldiers had reached 30% of the total strength. The remaining personnel were also exhausted. Soon after nightfall, a large number of Fengjun fell on the top of Jinyang's city.
The soldiers were lying on the wall, with their armor still on and sleeping in their clothes.
Tang Yin was also very tired, but he couldn't rest whenever he wanted like the soldiers below. He still had to patrol the city defense and discuss the next tactical strategy with his generals.
After the battle, the city of Jinyang seemed to have been washed with blood. Even now, there is a strong smell of blood. Tang Yin and his generals walked silently on the city wall, deliberately walking as slowly as possible.
Without disturbing the rest of the soldiers, Tang Yin and others got off the city wall and walked towards the barracks in the city.
On the way, Qiu Zhen frowned and said: "The reason why our army was able to withstand the enemy's strong attack today is because the soldiers who defended the city fought bloody battles. The king and the brothers An Jian also contributed a lot, and they also outnumbered the enemy."
Unexpectedly, the enemy was caught off guard. However, after retreating, the enemy will definitely discuss the matter and plan a countermeasure. When the enemy attacks again, they must have a method of restraint. Your Majesty, please be sure to do so.
be careful!"
Tang Yin sneered and said: "A countermeasure? A method of restraint? Humph, I want to see what kind of solution Sichuan and Zhenren can come up with."
Seeing that he had no intention of caring or being wary, Qiu Zhen sighed secretly and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the enemy commander Ren Fang is a famous commander in Sichuan. He is resourceful and very good at using troops. Your Majesty, you must not take it lightly."
Tang Yin couldn't listen to any of these unconstructive words that only served to demoralize the enemy and destroy his own prestige. He waved his hands impatiently and said, "You don't need to remind me of these." After a pause, he asked again.
: "Where are the Pingyuan Army and the Sanshui Army now?"
Letian hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the Pingyuan Army has returned to the capital to reinforce and cut off the Zhen Army's retreat. The Sanshui Army is marching towards Gaochuan County to join the Western Border Army and prepare to launch an attack from behind the enemy's rear."
Tang Yin nodded, the Zhen Army had reached Wancheng, the situation in Yancheng was very critical, and it was appropriate for the Pingyuan Army to go to the rescue. As for the Sanshui Army and the Western Border Army being united, he did not want to attack from behind the enemy.
Be optimistic, Tang Yin does not underestimate the combat power of the Sanshui Army, but has no confidence in the Western Border Army.
To defend Jinyang, Tang Yin could not count on the Sanshui Army and the Western Border Army for the time being. Tang Yin could only rely on his current troops to block the main force of the Sichuan-Zhen Allied Forces. However, he also knew in his heart that the enemy's next attack would be more ferocious, and he had to resist it.
It will also be more difficult.
How to fight the next battle, Tang Yin couldn't think of a good way for a while, so he could only continue to use today's tactics. The new army defended the city, and he and the secret arrow personnel went out of the city to disrupt the enemy.
Before Tang Yin and the generals returned to the military camp, they saw a large group of people gathering outside the military camp from a distance. Some of these people were young and strong men, and some were middle-aged people in their forties. They were bustling and seemed to
He was arguing with the Feng soldiers guarding the camp gate.
Tang Yin frowned slightly, turned his head and said to the Shangguan brothers beside him: "Go over and see what's going on!"
"Yes!" Brother Shangguan agreed and walked quickly towards the crowd in front. After a short time, the two returned and came to Tang Yin and said: "Your Majesty, these people have voluntarily surrendered to the army and are coming to help us defend the city.
."
"Oh." Tang Yin felt warm in his heart when he heard this, but he could only accept the good intentions of the people. If these inexperienced people were really sent to such a tragic battlefield, it would be tantamount to destroying his own morale.
Not only is it not helpful, it will also bring down one's own city defenses.
