In fact, as long as Yan Chu explained in the order to the city that the city was in a precarious situation, even if he was slightly anxious, Zhangsun Yuanhong would understand. Furthermore, he would rush back immediately, even if all his subordinates were to die, leaving him alone, he would still rush back to the capital to save them.
But Yan Chu did not say all of these in the transfer order. It was simple, it was out of respect for the ruler, he was the king, his orders were the king, and as an official of the Ning Country, Zhangsun Yuanhong had to obey unconditionally. He did not need to explain too much to his subjects.
What Yan Chu did was not wrong, nor could it be said that his actions were wrong. What was wrong was the long period of distrust between the two of them, as well as the various contradictions between them.
When Zhangsun Yuanhong discovered that his Pingyuan Army had converged at the north and circled around to his back, he also understood that the Feng Army was afraid that he would return to the capital, so they had first gone north to seal him off. Because Pingyuan Army and Sanshui Army were stationed far away from the Yuemen Pass, they did not cut off the supply of Yuemen Pass, but only cut off their path of return.
Zhangsun Yuanhong was extremely confused by the way Feng Army. Why did the Feng Army block him from going north? Could it be that they were that confident in being able to join forces with the Mo Army and wipe out the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command?
Currently, Zhangsun Yuanhong still did not know about the news of Shaoling County's tragic defeat. At that time, the speed at which the news spread was especially slow. If it wasn't for someone specially informing him, with the distance between the Shaoling County and the Jiashang County, even a year and a half later, the news might not have spread over.
Yan Chu was anxious, if Zhangsun Yuanhong did not come back to save him, even if Chuan Country And Zhen Country were to send troops, his Liangzhou would not be able to hold on.
In one breath, Yan Chu gave Zhangsun Yuanhong three orders, telling him to withdraw his Yuemen Pass no matter what and lead the troops back to the capital.
It was only during their battle that Zhangsun Yuanhong was able to leave, but now that his Feng Army had been severed, he was unable to turn back. However, after receiving three orders in succession, he could feel the urgency within Yan Chu's words.
He quickly wrote an answer, inside it he described his current difficulties, and then asked Yan Chu, about the situation in the capital. Not even two days later, the carrier pigeon returned, and Zhangsun Yuanhong found out that his Shaoling County had failed to hold on, and his Feng Army had already entered the Yunkou County. It was advancing directly towards the Liangzhou.
It was just that it was too late for Zhangsun Yuanhong to understand all of this. There were hundreds of thousands of Mo Army in front, and more than a hundred thousand elites of Feng Army behind. Reportedly, they had also seen Shangguan's banner within the Feng Army Camp, and even without investigating, they knew that Shangguan Yuan had already reached the Feng Army Camp.
There were powerful enemies in front and behind him, how could he retreat? In the end, Zhangsun Yuanhong who was at a loss of what to do could only use it as a warning. He only brought 3000 riders and stealthily left Pass and went to the north, hoping to sneak under Feng Army's watch.
However, his actions were already within Liang Qi's expectations, the latter had prepared an ambush ahead of time. Just as Zhangsun Yuanhong was about to take advantage of the darkness to bypass the Feng Army Camp, the surrounding soldiers were ambushed in all directions, and Shangguan Yuan let them rush out in the lead. He did not look for anyone else, but the moment he saw Zhangsun Yuanhong, he immediately raised his blade and rushed towards him.
The battle between the two was not long, but the intensity of the battle was much greater than the battle between Zhangsun Yuanhong and Yue Yang last time.
Shangguan Yuanyu and Zhangsun Yuanhong had not even exchanged two rounds before they both unleashed Spirit Transformation of Weapon. The former's trident and two blades became a strange huge blade while the latter's Nine Hell Ghost Halberd split into thirty-six types of Spirit Weapons.
When the two of them reached the same place, they could already see the figures of the two people on the stage. Sand and stones flew about, covering the sky and the moon as they flew horizontally, causing cracks to appear on the ground, and all the plants and stones in the surrounding ten over meters were all crushed. To the warriors of the two armies, this was not a battle between humans, but a battle between gods and ghosts.
The Spirit Transformation of Weapon used up too much spirit energy and could not be maintained for too long. Shangguan Yuan let Zhangsun Yuanhong and him fight for more than ten rounds, the two of them were at a disadvantage, with their Spirit Force and cultivation, they were still unable to determine the victor in more than ten rounds. However, as Zhangsun Yuanhong saw that there were too many Feng Country soldiers in the surroundings, he was afraid that he would be surrounded if he continued to fight.
Zhangsun Yuanhong had brought three thousand light cavalry out, and when he returned, there would only be less than a thousand people left. The other two thousand odd people had all died in the encirclement of Feng Army.
Stealthily, Zhangsun Yuanhong once again launched a strong attack by a large army.
The Feng Army did not meet the enemy head-on, but rather, stubbornly guarded the camp, tenaciously resisting the enemy.
It was not because of the heavy casualties, but because the Mo Army had learned that the large number of Ning Army were to leave the pass, so they took the chance to attack the Yuemen Pass once more. Zhangsun Yuanhong was worried that the Wind Battalion did not charge down, and the Yuemen Pass had been snatched away by the Mo Army, so the situation of his own side was extremely difficult, he had no choice but to retreat, so he could only stabilize the Yuemen Pass before making his plans.
After a few days, Zhangsun Yuanhong had thought of all sorts of ways, and his head was almost empty. Whether it was a clear or a covert attack, Zhangsun Yuanhong's army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, led by Zhangsun Yuanhong, could not penetrate the blockade of Feng Army, and were tightly dragged inside the Yuemen Pass by the Feng Mo Alliance.
Zhangsun Yuanhong was unable to return to the Liangzhou, but Tang Yin's Feng Army had never stopped progressing westward. On the tenth day of entering the Yunkou County, over two hundred thousand Feng Army s had finally arrived at the Liangzhou.
The Liangzhou was the capital city of the Ning Country and was also the largest town within the Ning Country. It took up a vast amount of land and had a large number of people within the city, so the city's defense was also very perfect. Not only were the city walls tall and thick, there was also a moat several meters wide outside the city.
Because the great army of Feng Country had pressed down on the borders, the four gates to the Liangzhou had long ago closed, and the Central Army of the Ning Country s had practically filled the four walls of the city. Each piece of armor was neatly and brightly armored. The saber was unsheathed and the arrow was nocked. It was as though they were facing a great enemy. A solemn and murderous aura naturally emanated from the armor.
Feng Army were stationed five kilometers to the east of Liangzhou. Tang Yin intentionally brought the entire army of Generals out of the camp, and approached the Liangzhou to check.
Looking more closely, the defenses of the Liangzhou were already complete. Even if there were not many defending troops, it would still be difficult to defeat them. Furthermore, the Central Army inside the Liangzhou numbered no less than two hundred thousand.
Triple the enemy, only then would they be able to attack the city. This was the conclusion written in the military order, and with the defense of the city through Liangzhou, it would probably take four to five times the enemy's strength to be able to capture the city. But if their side wanted to attack two hundred thousand, would it be possible for them to take down the Liangzhou?
Without even waiting for the battle, and only looking at the defense of the Liangzhou, the generals were somewhat discouraged.
Tang Yin also knew that Liangzhou was hard to fight, but on the surface, he was much calmer than the other generals.
Many of the General of Feng Country s were not clear about the fact that Tang Yin had once been to the Liangzhou, but after hearing his exclamation, they all asked in surprise, "Has the King been to the Liangzhou before?"2
"That's right!" And he intentionally wandered around the city for a few days! " While talking, Tang Yin smiled towards the generals around him: "Liangzhou is indeed worthy of being Ningdu, it is filled with pavilions and buildings, gold, silver, jewelry, beautiful wine, and after we take down our Liangzhou, everything inside will be ours, haha ?"
Seeing Tang Yin laughing so happily, all the generals started laughing as well, but their laughs were all very bitter. To take down the Liangzhou, how could it be so simple?
Everyone looked at each other before asking, "Could it be that the King has already thought of a method to break through the city?"
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded seriously.
Everyone was startled and their eyes lit up. They asked in unison, "What method?" Ever since their last battle with the Wohu Pass, everyone had become even more confident in Tang Yin.
Tang Yin squinted his eyes and said word by word, "My way is... Break through the defenses and enter the city! "
"Pu!" His words almost made all the generals vomit blood on the spot.
Tang Yin looked at the crowd, laughed, and said: "In this battle, I will go out to fight together with my brothers, to fight together in life and death, to advance and retreat together, what about it? Could it be that all of you think that our army is unable to defeat the Liangzhou? "
The king wanted to fight alongside him, so how could the generals show any weakness? They all said, "We are willing to follow him and kill the enemy, even if it means our deaths on the battlefield and the destruction of our bones!"
"Hm!" This is what my Army's Generals should say! " Tang Yin turned his horse and said: "Let's go back to camp for now!"
Tang Yin brought the generals back to the camp.
He did not know how he would fight in the Liangzhou, but one thing was certain, that Zhang Zhihong would definitely assist his side in the dark, but as for how he would assist, Tang Yin was not clear.
The entire army needed to rest. If they wanted to attack the city, they had to wait until the next day.
At night, Tang Yin did not rest. He sat inside his Central Army Tent and watched the sand table as he calculated how he would fight the siege battle tomorrow.
Along with Tang Yin were Qiu Zhen and Zi Ying. Their expressions were much more serious than Tang Yin's. Standing beside the sand table, their brows were furrowed even tighter.
Zi Ying was an old cunning fox on the battlefield, so he felt that this battle would be extremely hard to fight.
Just as they were thinking about their own things on the sand table, Le Tian walked in from outside. When he was in front of Tang Yin, he said in a low voice, "Great King, Lu Hui, the hanger-on of Zhang Zhihong Ning Xiang requests an audience!"
"Oh?" Tang Yin came back to reality and looked around: Lu Hui, I do not know this person. He asked, "Where is the visitor now?"
"I have brought him outside the tent!"
"Can you confirm his identity?"
"The people who came with him are the Sky Eye Brothers who are hiding in the Liangzhou. They can't be wrong." Le Tianming replied.
Tang Yin muttered to himself for a moment, then raised his head and said: "Let him come over."
"Yes!" "Great King!"
Tang Yin turned around and returned to his podium. The moment he sat down, Le Tian brought an old man and a young man over.
