C1332

This time, the initiative of the Mo Country Water Army was mainly based on fire attacks. Two hundred of the large ships in the Feng Country Navy were all burned down, and half of them were completely destroyed.

In the first round of Zhenjiang battles, Allied Army of Feng Country And Yu Country suffered a crushing defeat.

Not only did the five thousand Generals And Soldiers of Battle-tested Army s die in obscurity, even more than half of the ships that were brought over with great difficulty from the Feng Country were damaged.

Later, Tang Yin also summed up this matter in his letter to the Imperial Court: If a nation did not have a navy, it would be like losing an arm. Before the enemy's tyrannical navy, they would never dare to fight. "This is a great disgrace!

He blamed this failure on the Wind Nation's imperial government for not planning ahead, not valuing the water army, and not cultivating the water army, to the point where he did not dare to confront the water army head-on on the Zhenjiang battlefield. As a result, the enemy had taken advantage of the loophole and caused a series of undeserved losses on his side.

The letter Tang Yin gave the imperial government, especially the end with a few humiliations, spurred all the Minister of Civil And Military Affairs s in the imperial court to a large extent. It was also only until the first failure of the water battle of the Zhenjiang that the Feng Country began to attach importance to the water army.

Of course, this was in the future; after all, Rome was not built in a day, and even distant water could not quench the thirst.

Right now, the Feng Country Navy's fighting strength was reduced by a large amount. It no longer posed a threat to the Mo Country's navy on the south shore, and had completely lost the ability to fight against the Mo Country's navy head on. However, if the war were to continue, not only would the Allied Army of Feng Country And Yu Country consume a large amount of food, it would also consume the best fighter aircraft. If the Eastern Ocean navy masters of Mo Country arrived at the Zhenjiang, the battle along the river of Allied Army of Feng Country And Yu Country would be completely hopeless.

In a situation where his own water army wasn't in a passive state, they still managed to succeed in their sneak attack. Having lost so many ships, Tang Yin naturally had to take responsibility for the General He Yi's actions.

He Yi's reply to Tang Yin was, he originally thought that the main force of his forces would pass through the Zhenjiang, so he was careless. When the Mo Country and water army arrived, the majority of his forces would not be on board the ships, but were resting and preparing for battle in the main camp. By the time he heard the alarm and rushed out of the camp and returned to the ship, many of the ships had already been attacked by the enemy rockets and caught on fire. If it were not for his men fighting desperately to save the enemy, even more ships would have been burnt.

The meaning of his words was that the main responsibility did not rest with him. Not only did he fail to do so, he had even accomplished something.

Of course, Tang Yin could not accept such an explanation. He did not make any more inquiries, and directly pushed He Yi all the way to the end with the crime of dereliction of duty, and escorted him back to the Yan City, where he handed over the position of two Deputy General s to be taken over by the Left Prime Minister Qiu Zhen and the Military-political Hall.

Under the circumstances where He Yi committed a grave mistake, these two water army generals who came from an orthodox background were finally married into a family. They took over He Yi's position and became the second general of Feng Country Navy.

No matter what kind of character Sun Bing and Xu Yan were, in terms of water battles, the two of them were indeed much better than He Yi.

Right now, there was only one ship that was severely injured. Sun Xu and Yue Yang proposed to Tang Yin that they should immediately gather the Ning Country craftsmen to rush over and build one on the spot. They must at least guarantee that they would have the strength to fight against the Mo Country Water Army head on.

Tang Yin felt that what Sun Bing and Xu Yan said was extremely true. He ordered his subordinates to recruit local workers as well as to pay a large sum of money to hire local craftsmen for Mo Country according to their suggestions.

He didn't know if it was too late for him to fix it or not, but Tang Yin could only do his best to fulfill his fate.

On the other side, Ah San followed Tang Yin's orders and brought his men to Ying Jiang Town, bringing Old Town Chief and his family back to the army camp.

Knowing that the Mayor of Ying Jiang Town had been brought back, the anger that had not completely subsided started burning again in Tang Yin's heart. He said solemnly: "Bring him to Central Army Tent to see me!"

Old Town Chief s were dragged from Feng Army into the Central Army Tent. When he arrived, Tang Yin was still sharpening his blade with his Pisa. The curved crescent-shaped steel blade had a cold gleam, piercing everyone's eyes.

At this time, the Old Town Chief still did not know what had happened as his entire body shivered. After entering, the old man did not even look at the people in the tent and immediately knelt down, kowtowing and saying, "This lowly one greets the Lord ?"

"Do you still know me?" Tang Yin shot him a glance as he continued to grind the edge of his blade.

Hearing his voice, Old Town Chief felt that it was very familiar. He raised his head to look, and was immediately stunned.

A few days ago, Tang Yin was only wearing casual clothes, but right now he was already wearing a beautiful embroidered belt. As the saying goes, a person only relies on their clothes to ride on the saddle.

Old Town thought for a moment before asking in surprise, "Benefactor?"

"I don't dare." Tang Yin scoffed, and said: "This king's name is Tang Yin, you can call this king Feng King, and you can also call me by my name, but don't call me benefactor." He put down the sand, took out his handkerchief and gently wiped the surface of the knife.

Tang Yin? Feng King Tang Yin! The old town buzzed, they almost couldn't believe their own ears. The young man who saved their daughter was actually Feng King Tang Yin! He fell to his knees, tongue-tied, and stared at Tang Yin blankly without moving for a long time.

Ignoring his reaction after finding out his true identity, Tang Yin's gaze still rested on her own Scimitar, and said softly, "You have so much guts to actually collude with the Mo Army on the other side, and deceive this king. Do you know that this is a capital offense that involves nine entire clans?"

Old Town shuddered, suddenly coming back to his senses. He stammered, "No ?" I wonder why Feng King said that! "

Boom! * The Scimitar in Tang Yin's hand slammed onto the table heavily, as it stared straight at Old Town Chief with its flickering, fierce gaze, and said sinisterly: "You still dare to pretend to be ignorant with this king? Just a moment ago, when this king's great army was crossing the river from the Backwater Bay, they were plotted against by the Mo Army. Five thousand soldiers are dead without an inch, and just by this point, even if you had a hundred heads, it would not be enough for this king to chop them off! "

The old town finally understood what was going on, and his body went limp on the ground as he shouted, "Miserable, this little one is innocent! This little one swears to the heavens that the Backwater Bay is ambushed, if not, even if this little one had the guts, I would not dare to recommend the Backwater Bay to the Feng King!1

"Don't you know there's an ambush?" Haha ? "Tang Yin was so angry that he started laughing," To the south of Backwater Bay, the river is covered with sharp thorns, making it impossible for ships to get close to it. Tell me, someone was secretly fishing there, this king wants to know, how did they manage to fish on the river full of sharp thorns?

"This ?" Old Town Chief was also dumbstruck, he did not know the situation south of Backwater Bay, since he was not the one that was out fishing, but rather some bold fishermen. He only found out from the fishermen that there was no Mo Army outpost around Backwater Bay and that it was very safe to leave the ship.

But now, if he wanted to explain any further, it would not be clear. Old Town Chief was anxious to the point that his head was covered in sweat, he could only continue to cry out for injustice.

Without any warning, the latter suddenly grabbed the Scimitar on the table. With a wave of his hand, the Scimitar turned into a streak of lightning and shot straight towards Old Town Chief.

Before Old Town Chief could even react, he was struck squarely in the chest by the Throwing Knife. A "pu" sound came out from his ears, and the blade went from his chest to his back.

After Tang Yin threw out the Throwing Knife, he rushed to Old Town Chief's side and took action as fast as lightning. He quickly pulled out the Scimitar and then swung it horizontally, Kacha, Old Town Chief's head fell to the ground, but there was no blood spewing out from his body.

Tang Yin sucked all the spirit energy that was floating in the air dry and shouted angrily to the left and right, "Kill all the men in this thief's house, leave the women to Battle-tested Army."

"Yes sir!" The guards on the left and right hurriedly answered and ran out. After that, another guard walked in and dragged the Old Town Chief's corpse out.

After slashing Old Town Chief, Tang Yin withdrew his blade and sat back down on the mat. Only now did he calm down and started to search the Old Town Chief's soul for the specifics of his secret communication with the southern shore's Mo Army.

But what Tang Yin didn't expect was that ever since the Mo Army was withdrawn to the south of the Zhenjiang, the Old Town Chief had no longer had any contact with the Mo Army. As for the spikes laid at the bottom of the Backwater Bay River, the old town really didn't know about it.

Could it be that she had killed the wrong person? Tang Yin frowned. If it wasn't for Old Town Chief and Mo Army colluding, then why would Mo Army be concealed within the Backwater Bay? Could it be that the Mo Army was already set up this early on? That seemed to be the only explanation.

After careful analysis, Tang Yin was roughly certain that the Mo Army did not feel easy to defend, so he decided to abandon them. However, in order to prevent them from secretly crossing the river through the Backwater Bay, they had long ago set up spikes beneath the river.

From this, it could be seen that the new commander of the water army, Gao Hang, was smarter and more cunning than he had imagined.

Knowing that he was wrong about the Old Town Chief, and that Tang Yin did not take back his life, he could only execute all the men from the Old Town Chief's family, while the women were all given to the Generals And Soldiers of Battle-tested Army.

If the truth was revealed to the soldiers, it would first damage their king's prestige, and secondly, let the soldiers know that there was such a powerful commander on the other side of the river. This would cause a certain amount of damage to their morale and cause them to panic.

Tang Yin could hide it from others, but not himself. As for how he was going to defeat the new marshal Gao Hang, he also felt a headache coming.

After the setback in the first round of Allied Army of Feng Country And Yu Country, five days later, King Yu arrived at the Allied Army of Feng Country And Yu Country Camp. A hundred thousand Yu Country and twenty thousand Feiyu Army led by Qing Yu also came along with Ling Shuang.
