Zhou Chang escaped using his Heavenly Eagle Army to cut off the back, but he was still a single person after all, and facing tens of thousands of Generals And Soldiers of Ning Army, it was difficult for him to fight with four hands with two fists, and how many nails could he shatter with a body of iron?

At the end of the battle, the corpses piled up like mountains inside the city gates. If the Ning Army outside wanted to rush in and kill them, they would have to drag the corpses out first.

From head to toe, there were many big and small wounds on his body, but he had not fallen down yet. When Ning Jun who was standing outside the city gates rushed in, he could still use his spear to fight, and when Ning Jun'er who was outside released her arrows, he could still use the corpse as an arrow shield.

This delay of Zhou Chang's had slowed the pursuit of the Ning Army by nearly two hours, which earned him a large amount of time for his Heavenly Eagle Army to escape smoothly.

In the end, Zhou Chang, who was like a dried up oil lamp, died to the chaotic blades of Ning Jun.

Out of the sixty thousand Heavenly Eagle Army participants, only ten thousand of them were able to return to Hexi County in the end. Furthermore, the two vanguard officers that Tang Yin sent out for Heavenly Eagle Army only managed to return in the end.

Fifty thousand soldiers died from Daiyun City, it could be said that Tang Yin had never experienced such a miserable defeat on land before. Without even needing Situ Qi to enter the Central Army Tent to see him, Tang Yin had already personally 'welcomed' him out of the camp.

When the battered and dirtied Situ Qi saw Tang Yin outside the camp, tears streamed down his old face. He kneeled on the ground from afar, using his knees as a stepping stone, crawling forward while slapping his own mouth, and wailed: "Great King, this lowly general is incompetent ? "This general is useless ?"

Tang Yin looked at Situ Qi expressionlessly, but in reality his body was trembling in anger. He clenched his fists so tightly that he couldn't even feel the pain when his nails dug deep into his flesh.

He had let Situ Qi enter the Shaoling County and then faked his defeat, but he had never thought that Situ Qi would defeat him so thoroughly. Sixty thousand warriors, and he had only returned ten thousand, and with just this battle, it was tantamount to losing all of his Heavenly Eagle Army. The morale of their entire army fell to the bottom.

Seeing Situ Qi crawling in front of him without any warning, Tang Yin lifted his leg and stepped on Situ Qi's shoulder, then coldly asked: The entire army is almost all dead, what are you doing back here? You... Why didn't you die with your fallen brothers! "

"Your Majesty ?" At this time, Situ Qi couldn't even say a word if he was begging for mercy. He rested his head on the ground, and felt like it was a thousand kilograms. No matter how hard he tried to lift his head, he could only watch as beads of water the size of beans dripped onto the ground.

Tang Yin raised his head, his hands on his waist, and walked a few steps back in front of him. Then, he shouted to his left and right, "Someone! Drag Situ Qi out and kill him! "

He slowly raised his head, looked at Tang Yin, and cupped his hands as he said, "Your majesty has asked for a favor, and is willing to die to receive punishment. I only hope that your majesty will treat the wife and children of this family well, and that your majesty will be grateful to your majesty in the underworld ?"

"You dare to negotiate with me?" Tang Yin walked to Situ Qi and wanted to kick him a few more times, but seeing that he was crying so much, he couldn't help but let go of his leg. He waved his hand in annoyance, and said: "Drag it down, drag it down!"

The guards on both sides do not care what your identity is, as long as the king commands it, they will carry it out. The guard held Situ Qi's arm, and said with an apologetic tone of voice: "General Situ, I apologize!" While talking, the two of them carried Situ Qi and walked down, ready to kill him.

The generals, including Gu Yue and Wu Ying, all felt that Situ Qi's death wasn't enough to be regretted. After eating such a huge loss and only killing him once, not implicating his entire clan was considered letting him off easy. But Qiu Zhen suddenly said: "Wait!"

The two guards immediately stopped and turned to look at Qiu Zhen.

Qiu Zhen cupped his hands and bowed to Tang Yin, then said: "Great King, even though General Situ has lost, according to the reports, this battle was not entirely fought by General Situ. Rather, it's because the general of the Ning Army is too cunning, using the bitter meat of sacrificing 3,000 warriors to cover Shi Jie's deceit.

Qiu Zhen's words moved Situ Qi to tears again. However, he, who was feeling guilty, didn't even dare to say a word of apology. He could only look at Tang Yin eagerly, waiting for his response.

How could the anger and resentment in Tang Yin's heart be dispelled with just a single sentence from Qiu Zhen? He shot a glance at Qiu Zhen, and said furiously: "A loss is a loss, why would you need those excuses? If it was Zi Ying, he would definitely be able to see through his schemes! "

Qiu Zhen replied sternly: "That's right! If General Zi Ying was allowed to go, our army would not lose so easily, and the one who let General Zi Ying have the time to act was the King himself, the one who promoted General Situ to commander of Heavenly Eagle Army was also the King, the one who allowed Heavenly Eagle Army to enter the battlefield was the King, now, does the King still think that the fault lies with General Situ alone? "

Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, and turned to face Qiu Zhen, asking seriously: "Qiu Zhen, what do you mean? Did you say that the fault lies with This King? "

Qiu Zhen lowered his head and said: "The King has always been a Wise King who dares to take responsibility, and is brave enough to bear the burden. It is precisely because of this, that no matter how tired the warriors are, they are willing to fight alongside the King."

After Tang Yin heard this, he secretly took a deep breath, that's right, if saying that this loss was Situ Qi's fault, then it was akin to wrongly accusing him, at the very least, he had to take responsibility for his actions. If he wanted to punish Situ Qi, he should also be punished.

He was silent for a while, and then said: "Prime Minister Qiu's words are reasonable, but Situ Qi's death penalty can be waived, and he will be punished severely with eighty military batons, which is more than once, and the soldier rank will be lowered by two levels. Within three years, it will not be allowed to increase!"

As long as a person was alive, it didn't matter what punishment he received. Situ Qi knelt down excitedly once again, kowtowing to Tang Yin repeatedly, and shouted loudly: Thank you for your kindness, thank you for not killing me!

Tang Yin ignored him and turned around to face Generals And Soldiers. He suddenly unsheathed his sword and carried it on his shoulder.

Seeing that, everyone jumped in fright. They instinctively went forward and simultaneously cried out, "King?"

Tang Yin grabbed a strand of hair from the battle and with a wave of his sword, he cut off the hair. He raised the hair that had been cut off and said loudly: "In our defeat in this battle, I did not use my servants properly. I have let down my guard against the fallen soldiers, and even more so, my expectations of the entire army and the citizens of the entire nation. Today, this king has invented an oath that I will wipe out all the cultivators in the Shaoling County and avenge the warriors who had died in the Daiyun City. I will use a hundred times the blood of an ordinary person to pay tribute to the souls of the warriors in the heavens! "

Upon hearing this, all the generals and soldiers present kneeled down and shouted in unison, "To flatten the bandit, you shall get your revenge! "My king is enlightened, my king is enlightened ?"2

The originally low morale of the Feng Army was suddenly replaced by a raging and raging inferno, and Tang Yin was also using this long time of hate from the people of the Feng Clan to raise the morale of the entire army. Of course, by doing this, he would undoubtedly cause a river of blood to flow from his Shaoling County in the future. But he couldn't care so much anymore, he could only rely on his fighting spirit.

Furthermore, Tang Yin had never cared about the life or death of anyone unrelated to him.

This loss of the Shaoling County had given Tang Yin a huge lesson. It was undesirable to replace the entire troop's commander, and it was even more undesirable to replace them when they were in battle.

Tang Yin only had ten thousand Heavenly Eagle Army left. In reality, they were already dead, so Tang Yin would not know how to reform and revive the Heavenly Eagle Army in a short period of time.

He asked Qiu Zhen for guidance, and the latter laughed bitterly in frustration. His answer to Tang Yin was that he, Qiu Zhen, was okay with writing documents, but as for how to reform an army, he was completely layman. He did not have that kind of ability.

Hearing such a sarcastic reply, Tang Yin was so angry that his nose was crooked. If Qiu Zhen was not good, then who else could be good enough to be his subordinate? Using Gu Yue? He, as the nominal commander, did not have much ability at all. Using Cheng Jin, Le Tian, Ai Jia ? That was even worse.

Seeing Tang Yin staring straight at him while panting heavily, Qiu Zhen laughed, and said: "We already have a ready-made person in the army capable of reorganizing Heavenly Eagle Army, why should Your Majesty worry about this matter?"

"A ready-made person?" "Who is it?"

"Zi Ying!" Qiu Zhen said: "The Heavenly Eagle Army was all created and brought about by General Zi Ying to grow, and now that it has been returned to its original form by the 'useless' Situ Qi, the King should naturally ask General Zi Ying to reform it."

The reason why he purposely emphasized the word "useless" was because he was secretly mocking Tang Yin. Tang Yin blushed and laughed bitterly: "Reactivate Zi Ying? "It was me who removed him from his post ?"

Qiu Zhen shrugged his shoulders, and said: "If the King cannot bring shame upon us, then we might as well not use Heavenly Eagle Army. Once everything is over, Zi Ying can be a person that we can never hire again."

Although his words were spoken calmly and calm, Tang Yin could still hear the anger within them.

Without needing to ask, he already knew that Qiu Zhen was angry because of him.

Tang Yin was also extremely regretful now, to the point where his intestines were about to turn green. He laughed dryly, and said: "When have I ever cared about face? Qiu Zhen, go back to the camp in my stead and invite General Zi Ying over! "

Qiu Zhen was amused, and said: "Back then Zi Ying was dismissed by the King, and now I have to invite General Zi Ying, naturally, to let the King step in, that way I can be considered sincere."

Tang Yin frowned: "Zi Ying is too stubborn. If I appear, I'm afraid he might not agree!"

It would be strange if he refused! Heavenly Eagle Army were just like a child to Zi Ying. After suffering such a heavy injury today, Zi Ying was more anxious than anyone else. Qiu Zhen thought that in his heart, but he would never say it in such a manner. He helplessly sighed and said: "That's why my King has to be sincere! In addition, the King should also bring some gifts. "

"Right, right!" Tang Yin nodded his head, and muttered: "Yes, we should prepare some gold and silver as compensation."
