"If that's the case, then I should also head over to the Chuankou County to see what's going on there." Tang Yin muttered as he rubbed his chin.
"Great King, this trip is dangerous. You have to be more cautious." Yin Lan reminded.
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded his head, and then smiled gratefully at Yin Lan, and said: "I know."
Tang Yin decided to personally make a trip to the Chuankou County, looking at the current situation of the new army, perhaps he was the only one who could stabilize the situation.
Although the journey was dangerous, he still left his Directly Subordinate Army behind in the end. After all, Imperial Town was the core of the peaceful land and no loss was tolerated here.
There were around five thousand people in the Guard Camp, which was enough for Tang Yin. To make a long story short, without a single word, led the group of people to smoothly resist the Feng Army Camp.
As Liu Zhang's injuries were serious, Qi Heng was sent out of the camp to receive him. After meeting, Qi Heng quickly stepped forward, interposed, bowed, and said, "This general greets the King!"
Tang Yin walked down from the carriage's crown and casually waved his hands, then asked: "How are Liu Zhang's injuries?"
"My life is no longer in danger, but I still can't stay at home. I estimate that if I want to recover, I'll need at least two to three months." Qi Heng bowed and replied.
From the Imperial Town to the Chuankou County, Tang Yin had already spent close to a month's time on the road. It had already been so long, yet Liu Zhang still couldn't get off the bed. Tang Yin frowned, and asked suspiciously: A mere arrow wound, why is it so heavy?
Qi Heng hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, you might not know, the assassins came prepared, the crossbow arrows were coated with extremely poisonous substance, while Medical Officer was treating General Liu's wounds, although it can cure the poison, but we still have to dig out the flesh near the arrow wounds and drain the poisonous blood, it is already not easy for General Liu to keep his life."
"What a ruthless method ?" Presumably, this is called the 'beheading operation'! " Tang Yin muttered to himself.
"Huh?" Qi Heng did not understand, and looked at him in confusion. Tang Yin was too lazy to explain, and as he walked towards the camp, he asked: "During this time, did you guys come here to steal camp again?"
Qi Heng's expression turned serious as he said, "We have ordered the entire army to be on full alert and no more opportunities for the enemy troops to take advantage of them."
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded his head, then asked: "How is the situation with the military food?"
"Before, the new army had a large loss of grain, but after fighting in Zhu Yang County, Pingyuan Army had delivered a batch of grain in time, which could be considered an answer to the desperate situation. Now that the supplies from the rear have been delivered, our army and the new army have enough grain." Qi Heng replied.
"Ha ha!" Tang Yin looked at Qi Heng and laughed, then said: "Looks like you owe another favor."
"That's right, when this battle is over, this lowly general will definitely thank General Xiao." Qi Heng said seriously.
While talking, Tang Yin and the others had already entered the inner parts of the Wind Camp. He did not go to the Central Army Tent.
Seeing that the King had personally come to visit him, Liu Zhang struggled to descend from the bed to pay his respects. Tang Yin quickly walked forward and pressed him down, then shook his head and said: "Since you're injured, there's no need to talk about red tape, just lie tight!"
Firstly, he felt ashamed, and secondly, he also felt wronged. This battle was too infuriating, he had only fought against the enemy once, and the result was that he was heavily injured, almost losing his life, and was even dragging down the entire army.
Tang Yin understood what he was feeling now, and smiled indifferently. He patted Liu Zhang's shoulder and said: "I got lucky and grew a little wiser. Now you understand, even if the enemy is as weak as an ant, at a critical moment, it might be able to bite you back. Before the battle between the two armies has ended, the outcome of the battle has yet to be decided.
Liu Zhang listened and nodded. After this bloody lesson, he understood better what Tang Yin meant. Of course, Tang Yin's words were also meant to warn him. No matter when, no matter what kind of enemy he faced, he mustn't underestimate your opponent.
After that, Tang Yin comforted him a little before leaving his room and entering the Central Army Tent.
After Tang Yin was settled, he immediately said: "Tomorrow, our army will attack the city."
He did not ask the generals present, but used a tone of certainty. Qi Heng and the other generals were stunned. The King had just arrived, and she was anxious to attack the city without even getting a clear idea of the situation. How was that possible?
Bai An bowed and asked: "I wonder what the King plans?"
Tang Yin laughed, and said: Didn't Liu Zhang already deploy it earlier? Just fight according to his tactics! "
Everyone looked at each other, but in the end, it was Bai An who cautiously asked: "Your Majesty, do you think it's feasible?"
Tang Yin said with a smile: "Liu Zhang's assassination was just an accident, but it does not mean that the tactics he set out at that time were not good. Also, everyone should not be scared by the defending troops of the Tingkou, in the end, there is no place to fight directly against our army.
Hearing his words, all the generals present were shaken. They took a deep breath and spoke in unison, "This general obeys! We will do our best to wipe out the enemy forces in tomorrow's battle! "2
"Alright!" What Tang Yin wanted was these words, to raise the entire army's morale, he had to first raise the Generals's morale.
"Alright, since there's nothing else, we can go back now."
"This lowly general is taking his leave!" Just as everyone was about to withdraw from the Central Army Tent, Tang Yin suddenly remembered something, and said: "Oh right, everyone has been working hard during this period of time, and have been on high alert. Tonight, let the brothers rest well, and have a good rest.
"Yes!" "Great King!" The generals replied in unison.
When everyone had walked out of the Central Army Tent, Ren Xiao frowned and said worriedly: "Your Highness, I thought it was just tonight, so we should be more alert!"
"Oh?" Tang Yin laughed, then asked: "Why do you say that?"
Ren Xiao said: "The Ann Army is very clear, when fighting head on, they do not have any advantage. They use a strategy to capture the enemy first, and use a method to assassinate the commander, to surprise and replenish to force us to retreat. I believe that Ann Army will also know about the news of your highness arriving at Chuankou County. Tonight, it is very possible that Ann Army will repeat the same trick. "
Hearing that, Yin Lan's heart was startled, and immediately followed up: "Young Master Ren's meaning is ?. Tonight, the assassins will sneak into my army camp and assassinate the King? "
Ren Xiao nodded his head, and said: "Although I do not dare to be sure, but there is a very possibility."
Tang Yin laughed with his back facing the sky, and praised: "It seems that in the process of accompanying the army, Brother Ren has learnt quite a few things!"
After pausing for a moment, he slowly restrained his smile, snorted coldly, and said: "I told my brothers to not increase their defenses tonight, what I wanted was to lure the enemy's assassins here. I want to teach Ann Army a lesson, let them understand what it means to not return after beating a dog with a meat bun!"
At first, Ren Xiao was surprised, but soon after, he also smiled and sighed in relief, "So Your Highness had already thought of this a long time ago."
Tang Yin squinted his eyes, and shrugged without saying a word.
The two of them thought that once the military camp was prepared, their Ann Army would once again take the risk and send assassins to kill them, but this time, both of them guessed wrong. This night, everything was calm, and the assassin did not appear, causing Tang Yin and Ren Xiao to be somewhat surprised.
However, Tang Yin did not take it to heart. After all, his target was not the assassin, but the garrison in Tingkou City.
The next morning, the new army made their move, and the tactics Liu Zhang had set up earlier. First, Second Regiment attacked the North City, third and fourth legions attacked the South City, fifth and sixth legions attacked the Western City, and the ninth and tenth legions attacked the Western City.
The arrival of Tang Yin had boosted the morale of the new army, coupled with the fact that the main force had been mobilized, the aura of the new army had become even stronger. From the start of the battle, the new army had used all of their strength, both the Trebuchet and the City-breaking Crossbow had been activated.
When the long-ranged attacks of the Trebuchet and its were more or less over, the eight legions began to move forward, pressing towards the Tingkou City together.
Maybe because Feng Army's siege attack this time was too fierce and it was surrounded by four sides, the counterattack inside the city was very weak and it was almost impossible to put up any kind of resistance, allowing the Feng Army to successfully attack the city walls and kill its way into the city in one breath.
After the Main Force of Feng Army had entered the city, everyone was greatly disappointed. It was reported that there were more than five thousand people defending the city, but after the end of the battle, the total number of people killed and captured Ann Soldier was not even a thousand. Furthermore, most of them were old, weak, and handicapped.
When he was inspecting the Ann Army captives, Tang Yin's expression became more and more unsightly. It was precisely this group of frail and sick people, with less than a thousand people, that had blocked their own two hundred thousand army outside of Tingkou City for a month's time? It was simply a joke.
Qi Heng and the other generals did not look too good either. The crowd hurriedly stepped forward and cupped their hands, explaining, "Great King, about our previous attack on the city, there were at least five thousand people defending the city, and there were also many Spiritual Martial Expert amongst them. They are definitely not these handicapped veterans."
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, and extended his hand out to ask: Where is that person? What about the five thousand Ann Army and Spiritual Martial Expert s? "Where is it?"
"This ?" The Qi Heng generals were at a loss for words. They also felt that this was inconceivable. That's right, where did all the defending troops in the city go? They were clearly elites with more than five thousand people. How could they turn into handicapped veterans with less than a thousand people?
Qi Heng stomped his foot and suddenly roared. He rushed to the front of a veteran at Ann Army and grabbed him with one hand, as if he was trying to pull a little chick, and pulled him out of the crowd and asked sternly: "Where are the defending troops at the Tingkou City? "Speak!"
The veteran trembled in fear, his legs shaking as he stammered, "Both ? They have all left. Several days ago, they had already withdrawn their Tingkou ? "
"Nonsense!" Qi Heng shouted: "Our army has spies all around the Tingkou, if the defending troops inside the city leave, how can we not know?"
"I am not lying. What I said was the truth. They were leaving in batches, disguised as the refugees ?" The veteran said with a trembling voice.
"Huh?" He never thought that the defending army with such strong fighting spirit would actually quietly retreat out of the Tingkou, and even more so, that the defending army would scatter and disguise itself as a civilian who was fleeing for his life.
