C1639

Ye Tang was the leader of the Ninth Army and they were trapped in the forest, surrounded by tens of thousands of Ann Army. The situation was precarious, and if they continued to fight like this, there was a possibility of total annihilation.

Right at this critical moment, Cheng Jin arrived in time with a large group of Hidden Arrow Crew. The forest land was not suitable for the performance of the cavalry, but for the Spirit Cultivator of Dark, this was their best battlefield.

Although there were not many Hidden Arrow Crew, only a few hundred people, their appearances had disrupted the battle plans of the Ann Army. Many of the Ann Army guards did not even manage to see the shadows of the hidden arrows before they died blindly under the sharp blades of the hidden arrows.

Several hundred Hidden Arrow Crew s were like fishes in water, appearing and disappearing in the forest, like several hundred ghosts.

Very quickly, Qi Heng and the rest of the Ninth Army also rushed over to support them. Seeing that the Feng Army was increasing in strength and the hidden arrows were hard to guard against, the Ann Army finally gave up on besieging Ye Tang and everyone retreated deeper into the forest.

This time, they were no longer faking it, and actually retreated. Cheng Jin led his Hidden Arrow Crew to chase after them, and then retreated.

In this battle, the frontliners of the Ninth Army suffered heavy casualties, and more than half of them died. Even Ye Tang had almost lost his life, so the news quickly reached Tang Yin.

After receiving the news, Tang Yin immediately reacted, ordering the Ninth Army to stop their advance and temporarily station themselves in the Great Black Valley, waiting for the new army to rush over to support them.

Tang Yin led the new army and entered the Chigou, while studying the tactics used in the area of Ann Army. On the second day the new army entered Chigou, Cheng Jin and the others returned with detailed battle reports of their encounter with the ninth army.

After reading this battle report, not to mention Tang Yin, who was frowning, all of the surrounding General of Feng Country s sucked in a cold breath of air. They had never encountered such a cunning enemy general before, even when they were fighting with their Feng Army alone.

Tang Yin looked at Cheng Jin and asked: "Did you bring back the grass vines used by the enemy?"

"Yes, it's outside the Central Army Tent." Cheng Jin nodded.

"Bring me there!" Tang Yin stood up and walked out, while the other generals followed closely behind.

Cheng Jin waved to the side as he arrived outside the Central Army Tent. Very quickly, a carriage brought by Hidden Arrow Crew was placed at the back of the carriage, and there was a gigantic ball of grass, about the height of two people.

Tang Yin squinted his eyes, walked up to them and circled around the horse carriage, looking at it while muttering: "How many grass vines would the enemy consume to create such a large grass ball!"

"Not much." Cheng Jin jumped onto the carriage, unsheathed his blade, and first cut off the rope that was holding the grass balls, then without much effort, kicked the grass ball off the carriage.

He sheathed his sword and jumped off the carriage. He explained, "Your Majesty, this grass ball looks like it's huge, but it's empty inside."

"Empty?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and walked to the front of the grass ball. He reached out and pushed with a little bit of force, and sure enough, the grass ball was extremely light, and rolled under his not very big push.

Cheng Jin moved closer and continued, "Great King, the enemy is very cunning, and they have a good understanding of our situation. They hid the balls of grass on the hilltop, and the soldiers hid themselves in the hollow balls of grass to avoid the observation of the Earth Web Falcon. So, while the 9th Army was marching, although they had released their falcons, the falcons did not discover the enemy forces on the hilltop. They only discovered the ambushes in the forest, which caused the 9th Army to suffer a great loss. "

"So that's how it is ?" couldn't help but nod his head repeatedly. The main reason why he gave up on the Great Black Valley, was to numb his own side. After passing through the dangerous zone in the Great Black Valley, the Generals And Soldiers of Self Army would naturally heave a sigh of relief and relax his guard. The main reason for the painstaking efforts of Ann Army was to create these large grass balls. Firstly, they had two objectives, which were to hide the troops, and secondly, use them for fire attacks. The Ann Army used these grass balls to force the Generals And Soldiers of Self Army into the forest where they had hidden so that they could catch them by surprise and take them by surprise.

It could be said that in this ambush, Ann Army had already planned everything. Even if the ones ambushed weren't the Ninth Army, but the new army, or even Pingyuan Army and Sanshui Army, the outcome would still be the same.

It was just bad luck for the Ninth Army, Qi Heng had volunteered himself, and had allowed the Ninth Army to meet with a blow from the Ann Army.

"Who exactly is the main general of this Ann Army? "Why do you know so much about our army? You even know that our army uses falcons to do aerial reconnaissance, letting the ambushed soldiers hide in the grass to avoid the falcons' line of sight."

Tang Yin rubbed his chin, and muttered in puzzlement.

Cheng Jin lowered his head, Le Tian and Ai Jia were also silent. They were also very curious, wanting to know who the general behind Ann Army was, since he was such a powerful general, then why didn't the Ann Country government give him a second thought?

Yin Lan's eyes turned, he strode forward, and said to Tang Yin in a low voice: "Great King, could it be that there is a spy within our army?"

When these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed. This was the situation that none of the Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army s wanted to see the most.

After Tang Yin heard this, a glint also flashed past his eyes.

Yan Yan's face darkened, he glared at Yin Lan, and said to Tang Yin carefully: "Great King, I thought that it wouldn't be difficult for the Ann Army to understand the situation of our army. The characteristics of my army's annual expedition on the battlefield are already displayed on the surface, and using the condor as a scout is not a secret, but it's just that the General of the Ann Army is able to make good use of these characteristics of our army.

Bai An also agreed to Yan Yan's words. Furthermore, all of the people present were old generals of Feng Army, only Yan Yan, Yan Yan and his had the least experience, and Yin Lan was an experienced man, so she had the trust of the King. If there was a spy within the Feng Army, it could only be her and Yan Yan who were the most suspicious. She said seriously: "Could the main general of Ann Army be the Mr. Yu that Ann Soldier spoke of? This person said that he is a travelling ranger from Chuan Country, but how can a travelling ranger be so good at using troops? This general suspects that this Mister Yu is very likely to be from Chuan Country, and is a general! "

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded his head, and felt that Yan Yan's and his analysis was very reasonable. Of course, he didn't want any spies on his side.2

He took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes and said: "My enemy is weak, the Ann Army is starting a guerrilla war with our army! "After a single battle, our army has suffered a loss of over ten thousand cavalrymen. This meeting gift is truly huge."

Tang Yin felt his heart ache just thinking about it. Let alone the loss of battle horses and equipment, just the casualties were already unacceptable.

It was not so easy to cultivate a heavy cavalry unit. In addition to requiring the soldiers to have a robust physique, it required many conditions and skills. It was not an exaggeration to say that the Ninth Army was a legion of gold.

"No matter who the enemy's commander is, once our army reaches the Yujing, we will naturally know!" Tang Yin clenched his fist and fiercely struck the grass ball in front of him, then turned and walked back into the Central Army Tent.

The next day, the new army arrived at the black valley to meet up with the ninth army.

Now that he had suffered such a defeat, his entire body was like a rooster that had lost in a battle. His shoulders collapsed, and his head drooped down, but before he could even open his mouth to speak, he first kneeled on the ground, kowtowing to Tang Yin and saying, "I beg for your forgiveness, Great King!"

In this battle, Qi Heng did not commit any mistakes, but Tang Yin had no choice but to punish him. After all, they had lost the war, and if there were no punishments for it, he would probably get used to it in the future.

Tang Yin stared at him for a moment, then slowly asked: "Tell me yourself, how do I punish you?"

"This ?" Qi Heng secretly grinned, now that he wanted an official without an official, a title without a title, there was no way for him to be demoted to a noble. After thinking for a while, he said in a low voice, "This lowly general's life is the King's, no matter how the King punishes this lowly general, this lowly general will accept it."

"Very good." Tang Yin nodded his head, then shouted towards the outside of the tent: "Men, Qi Heng's troops are at a disadvantage, he is responsible for two hundred military sticks!"

Following his words, the guards outside immediately came in. At this time, Le Tian and Ai Jia both stepped forward, intervened and said respectfully, "Great King, this is the most critical moment for our troops in dealing with the remnants of the Ann Army.

Two hundred military sticks had flattened the iron man, let alone Qi Heng. Even if he wasn't crippled, he wouldn't be able to get out of bed for two to three months.

Seeing Le Tian and Ai Jia taking the lead to plead for leniency, the other General of Feng Country s also stepped forward, and intervened: "That's right, Great King, the war is about to begin, and our troops are destroying themselves, wouldn't that be destroying the morale of our enemies and extinguishing the prestige of our own families?" Please reconsider, Great King! "

Tang Yin was only putting on an act, if he really wanted to beat up Qi Heng, he would not be willing to do it.

Seeing that all the generals had come to plead for leniency, he thought for a while and said, "What you generals have said is reasonable. Exempt the two hundred military staff. Just hit twenty military sticks!"

When Qi Heng heard this, he kowtowed as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders, and said urgently, "This general thanks the King for her grace, thanks the King for her kindness!"

"No need to thank me! If all the generals do not plead for mercy today, I will definitely punish you harshly! " Tang Yin shook his head at the guards and shouted: "Take Qi Heng away!"

"Yes!" "Great King!" The guards pulled him out of the Central Army Tent.

After he left, Tang Yin looked at Le Tian and Ai Jia, and said: "For the rest of the journey, the two of you must use all your strength to scout, and must not let our troops fall into enemy ambush again." While talking, he looked towards Cheng Jin and said: "Cheng Jin, you bring the Dark Arrow brothers to cooperate with the Sky Eye and the Earth Web, especially to the forests and mountains that our army passes through, you must investigate them carefully, do not worry about the lack of time, our army can move forward slowly, but no matter what, we must ensure that our journey is foolproof!"

"Yes!" Subordinate obeys! " Cheng Jin, Le Tian and Ai Jia cupped their hands in acknowledgement.
