Even though Xiao Chong had strengthened the defenses of the Ningding, never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that the three paths of the Feng Country and the head of the Directly Subordinate Army would all be pointed at his Ningding.

On the second day after the Chastity Army occupied the Ningding, Tang Yin ordered the three local armies to gather towards the direction of the Ningding. At the same time, the local forces also ordered the three local forces to surround and attack the Ningding from the north.

Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country had long since been densely packed in the surrounding area, and even the slightest movement would not be able to escape the eyes and ears of Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country. Moreover, the Directly Subordinate Army that had come out at this time had a strength of over a hundred thousand people. The scouts from Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country saw that a large group of Jinyang's people were leaving the city, so they did not dare to delay any further, and quickly sent the news back to the camp.

Hearing that, Ren Fang's heart trembled. The Feng Army within the city did not exceed two hundred thousand, to suddenly leave the city for a hundred thousand, then right now, there were at most one hundred thousand people remaining. This was the best opportunity for their side to attack!

Ren Fang immediately summoned the generals of the Chuan Army And Zhen Army to explain the situation.

When everyone heard this, they all laughed out loud, saying, "It must be because we heard that the three cities, Songqiu, and Taifeng, were occupied by our troops, that's why we rushed over to rescue them." That's right! However, our army has fifty thousand soldiers defending each of the three cities, and we only have a Feng Army of a hundred thousand people.

The Generals s of the Chuan Army And Zhen Army were all very confident. Of course, it would be difficult for one hundred thousand people to attack a city with fifty thousand people. However, what they did not know was that there were still three local armies with tens of thousands of people in the Feng Army.

Ren Fang was also not clear about the existence of the three regional armies. Since the scouts did not report back, no matter how smart he was, it was impossible for him to predict the future. He smiled slightly and said: "Since we are splitting Feng Army up to go save them, then let them go. To us, this is a great opportunity to break through Jinyang. I have decided that we will attack the city tomorrow.

None of the generals objected, and said in unison, "We shall do as the Chief General says, our army will attack the city tomorrow!"

Without further discussion, Ren Fang and his generals decided to forcibly attack the Jinyang.

The day after that, in the early morning, the Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country blew the horn to attack.

The armies of the two nations formed a neat phalanx as they left the main camp, and rushed straight towards the Jinyang in front of them. This time, Ren Fang had already made up his mind. He must take this chance, and take down Jinyang in one go.

Due to the fact that most of the Jinyang had been destroyed by the heavy Trebuchet, the advancement of the Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country was also extremely smooth. In a single breath, they neared to a place that was less than two kilometers away from the inner city of the Jinyang. Reaching here, the heavy Trebuchet did not move forward anymore. The soldiers of the two armies fixed the Trebuchet s on the stage, aimed at the Jinyang city wall, and prepared to throw stone bullets.

Feng Army had already experienced the tactics and tactics of Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country back then. Seeing the enemy charge at such a large scale, without waiting for them to make a move, the Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army s all ran down the city wall and hid themselves under the walls.

As expected, not long after the Feng Army descended from the city walls, the's heavy Trebuchet started to activate at the same time. Huge stone bullets whistled as they descended from the sky and smashed onto the city walls, causing them to rumble and the walls to tremble.

However, Feng Army was no longer as scary as it was back then. Compared to throwing the corpses with the plague, the stone bullets were insignificant. The people were squatting below the city walls, listening to the occasional rumbling sound above them. Although they couldn't remain calm, there was no sign of fear on their faces.

What made the Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army feel at ease was that the Feng King Tang Yin was among them.

Tang Yin didn't wear a king's uniform, but changed into a military uniform. A simple silver helmet and armor, even though it wasn't gorgeous, it was extremely light and easy to handle, and wouldn't hinder his nimble movements.

Tang Yin was also worried that the new army's fighting spirit was not strong, and their fighting strength was not strong, so they would be defeated by the enemy in one strike. Thus, at this time, he had to personally go up to battle with the new army officers and fight alongside them, and this was the only way to boost the new army's morale to the greatest extent.

Surrounding Tang Yin were Shangguan Yuanwu, Yuanbiao, Ah San and a few other protectors. In addition, Jiang Fan, Cheng Jin and the other generals were all near him, and did not dare to move even half a step further away.

Listening to the stone bullet smashing onto the city wall, the sounds of heavy footsteps were getting weaker and weaker, replacing it was a series of continuous heavy footsteps, without even needing to go back to the city to look, Tang Yin knew, it was the enemy attacking troops coming up.

He pulled himself together, straightened his body, looked around at his soldiers, and shouted in a deep voice, "The enemy forces have already begun their siege. Brothers, follow me up the city wall to meet them!"

"Yes!" "Great King!"

The soldiers of the new army shouted in unison. The rolling logs, stones, and other objects piled up beneath the city walls were carried up to the top of the city wall. Soon after that, the archers took their positions, nocked their bows, and nocked their arrows, aiming them at the enemy lines outside the city.

Looking from the top of the city, the might of the Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country was indeed frightening.

The first group of ten thousand soldiers divided into two rows, the front and the back, and advanced in unison. With every step, the soldiers of Chuan Army And Zhen Army would strike their shields with their weapons, producing a deafening explosion.

Looking further back, they could see the Main Regiment s of the Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country. They stood at the edge of the Jinyang, looking around. There was no need to do anything, just Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country alone was enough to cause any opponent to tremble in fear.

Even if Tang Yin personally went up to battle, looking at Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country's posture, the morale was still lower.

Tang Yin understood the mentality of the new army. Seeing that the new army was getting closer and closer to the city wall, he shouted loudly: "Brothers, listen carefully, today's battle, you are not fighting for me, but for yourselves. Only by defending the city, can everyone keep their lives, and once the city breaks down, none of you will be able to escape. All of you will die by the enemy's hands, and in this battle, we will only have strong enemies.

Tang Yin's words aroused the desire of the New Army soldiers to live, at the same time, it made them feel warm. The King did not treat them as outsiders, but as part of her Feng Army, which allowed the New Army soldiers to find a sense of belonging again.

"Wind, wind, wind ?"2

This was the first time they had shouted out the name of the Feng Country.

Seeing that, Tang Yin took a deep breath, turned and stared at the enemies outside the city, his heart calculating the distance. When the Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country was not even a hundred steps away from the city wall, Tang Yin drew his blade, fiercely waved it, and shouted: "Release the arrows!"

"Release the arrows ? release the arrows!"

His orders were passed down by the Generals s of the new army one by one. After pausing for a moment, a droning sound could be heard, and thousands of arrows were shot out from the city head of the Jinyang, as though a ball of black smoke had risen from the air. They flew into the air, and then, they drew an arc in the air, howling as they landed in the midst of the Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country camp.

As the Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country soldiers charged forward, before many of them had the time to react, their heads and chest were continuously hit by the arrows, and they fell face first onto the ground. The Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country camp was initially orderly and orderly, but after a round of Arrow Rain s, the camp in front of them had become a sieve, full of holes.

New troops might not be good at close quarters combat, but their shooting was definitely top class. On top of the city walls at the moment, the shooting from above was many times stronger, and even if Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country were to raise the shield, they would still not be able to block it. As they moved forward, there would still be people being hit by the arrows from time to time.

The legions at the front suffered heavy casualties, but the entire Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country formation was still pushed forward.

When the enemy troops were already 50 steps away from the city walls, Tang Yin ordered them to use City-breaking Crossbow s. They did not need to aim and only needed to shoot into the enemy's formation. City-breaking Crossbow s and Army-broking Crossbow s had a much longer range than arrows to begin with, and now that the enemy was less than fifty steps away from the city wall, with their crossbow arrows piercing through the crowd, their power was naturally greater.

A bolt pierced through a group of people within Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country until the bolt was nailed above them. It was a good thing that more than half of the City-breaking Crossbow and Army-broking Crossbow in the Feng Army had been damaged during the war. Otherwise, the lethality brought about by the Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country would be difficult to estimate.

The Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country of ten legions charged towards the city while facing the Arrow Rain and crossbow arrows that were shooting down from above. This distance of only a hundred steps, had actually caused Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country to pay a price of over ten thousand casualties.

When the Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country reached the bottom of the city wall, the morale had also risen to the peak. The people used the ladders to climb up towards the city with all their might.

At this point in the war, the Chastity Army took on the main responsibility of attacking the city. The first reason was that the Zhen Xing was ferocious and adept at attacking cities and plundering cities. The second reason was that the Chastity Army's armor was light, and was suitable for climbing ladders quickly. Zhen Jun Army stood at the front, Chuan Army was at the back to cover them, and the people lined up in rows to fight against the Feng Army on the city wall.

Furthermore, the Jinyang was a small city so the city walls were not high. Even though Tang Yin was personally commanding the battle from the top of the city walls, it was still difficult to resist.

Very quickly, there were a few places on the city that were broken through by the Chastity Army. Seeing that, Tang Yin immediately ordered the generals beside him to go there. Following the intensification of the battle, the number of generals surrounding Tang Yin became fewer and fewer. In the end, even the close bodyguards such as Shangguan Yuanwu, Shangguan Yuanbiao, Ah San, and the others were all sent out by him.

Even so, the Feng Army was still in a precarious situation where danger lurked everywhere, and people were panicking everywhere. And this was only the advance attack of the enemy army of a hundred thousand. If the enemy troops also charged forward, could the Jinyang still be preserved? Thinking about it, Tang Yin became anxious, he could not go on like this.

Just as he was thinking of a way to deal with this, an arrow flew from below the city, heading straight for his forehead.
