C1997 Final volume
Tang Yin rode on the horses all the way until he reached Central Army Tent, which had now become a Spirit Hall, where Yin Li's coffin was laid. After Tang Yin finished reading, he anxiously dismounted and walked into the mourning hall with big steps.
As the coffin was still not closed, Tang Yin stood beside it and lowered his head to look inside.
Who else but Yin Li could it be? By this time, his body had been cleaned and sewn by the Chastity Army, and even his armor had been replaced, making him look as if he were sleeping in it, though there was not a trace of life left in him.
After clearly identifying Yin Li's body and confirming that he was dead, Tang Yin was expressionless, but his bright and lively tiger eyes narrowed slightly.
"Feng King, my family's general was ambushed by Chuan Army, and was ambushed by People of Chuan Country... Killed... "Sob, sob ?"
All the generals who had chased into the mourning hall were kneeling in front of the coffin and crying loudly. When they saw that the general had died, the Feng King came over immediately. Furthermore, they did not bring any followers with them.
Tang Yin finally opened his mouth and said faintly: "Your generals were initially recommended by this king. I never thought that today, they would actually die under the ambush of Chuan Army!"
"Feng King must avenge the general!" Our army will attack Zhaoyang right now and vow to kill all the bandits in the city and use the blood of our People of Chuan Country to pay tribute to the heroic spirit of our general! "
"We can't attack the city now!" Tang Yin frowned, and said: "It is late at night and attacking the city, making it unfavorable for the enemy, do you not understand such a simple logic?"
"We can't wait until tomorrow morning. The general has died too miserably. We will taste the blood of the bandits right now!" All the generals were filled with righteous indignation. They clenched their fists so tightly that they made clucking noises. When they spoke, their voices were squeezed out from the gaps between their teeth.
After everyone finished speaking, they all stood up and turned around to leave. Seeing that, Tang Yin was furious, he slapped the coffin and bellowed: All of you stop!
The Chastity Generals were startled by his sudden shout and stopped in their tracks. They turned around and stared at Tang Yin. The latter said coldly, "Now that General Yin has passed away and the army lacks a commander, although this king is not a People of Zhen Country, as an Allied King, I cannot just watch as you court your deaths. Right now, I shall take over command of the Chastity Army, and if anyone disobeys this king's orders, they can be considered as disobeying my orders and being on the military side of justice, severely punishing them!"
Upon hearing this, all the generals were stunned. Now that the general had been assassinated, there was indeed a lack of a leader in the army. It would be reasonable to say that the position of commander-in-chief was taken over by the Feng King.
No one stood up to oppose Tang Yin. After all, in the hearts of the People of Zhen Country s, Feng Country was their benefactor and they treated their Feng King with great respect. Furthermore, even if some of them were dissatisfied with Tang Yin's decision, they did not know how to refute him.
After a long while, a Zhenren stepped out and said: "Feng King, our army is now filled with grief and indignation, and all of us want to avenge our general. Even if the night attack is detrimental to our army, our army is confident that we can take down the Zhaoyang in one go!"
"Do you really think Zhaoyang is that easy to fight? The defense of our Zhaoyang is so useless, can we just let you flatten it? "
Tang Yin looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "There are originally more than two hundred thousand people in Zhaoyang City, and now, with Ren Fang as the leader, and the hundred thousand people in Chuan Army have all retreated back into the Zhaoyang, the garrison forces in the city are already close to four hundred thousand. Also, with Bu Ying as the leader, Chuan Army is currently rushing towards the Zhaoyang, and the eastern region is also organizing a hundred thousand strong army.
Ah? Tang Yin had never heard of all the news, and there were already four hundred thousand soldiers defending Zhaoyang City? There were still hundreds of thousands of reinforcements on the way? How could this be?
"When did Feng King receive that news?"
"Just now!" Tang Yin frowned: "The current situation is not certain, and we cannot afford to be sloppy, our army either does not attack the Zhaoyang, or must win with one strike, do you understand?"
All the generals nodded blankly, but one of them asked: "I wonder what the Feng King has in mind?"
Tang Yin took a deep breath and said: "Take out the map!"
"Yes sir!" One of the Zhenren general quickly replied as he retrieved the map and handed it over to Tang Yin.
The latter didn't answer, causing him to lay flat on the ground. Tang Yin walked to the map, lowered his head and stared, after looking for a moment, he raised his head and looked at the people present, then waved: "What are all of you standing so far away for, come over here!"
Everyone responded in unison as they strode forward to surround the map.
Tang Yin took out his sword and pointed to the map, then said indifferently: This time's assassination attempt on General Yin, although it is tragic, but we should convert it into a fighter aircraft and take down the fighter jet from Zhaoyang in one go!
The Chastity Generals nodded in unison, and one of them asked in puzzlement, "Your Highness, how do we transform it into a fighter aircraft?"
Tang Yin did not answer directly, but asked back: "If the enemy commander were to suddenly die in front of the two armies, what would the enemy most likely do?"
"Oh ?" If the army was leaderless, it would become a field of scattered sand, and the morale of the army would collapse ? "
"That's right, the enemy will most likely be forced to choose to retreat!" Tang Yin said: "That's why, I can use this opportunity to choose to withdraw my troops overnight."
"Withdraw?" Tang Yin had not even finished speaking when all the Chastity Generals opened their eyes widely in unison. They looked at Tang Yin in confusion and anger and shouted, "We have not avenged the general and have not completed our last wish of seizing Zhaoyang, how can we withdraw our troops?"0
"That's right. Even if we were to fight till our bones shatter and perish together with the enemy, our Chastity Army will not retreat even half a step!"
Tang Yin frowned, without saying a word, he raised the sword in his hand and knocked the heads of those who were shouting. Everyone was wearing their helmets, and since Tang Yin did not use too much strength, it was natural that he would not hurt them, but he had effectively stopped their discontent.
He coldly said, "Everyone, can you wait for This King to finish speaking before expressing your so-called bullshit ideas!"
The People of Zhen Country had always been hard on others but never soft on them. She feared strong people, and the more Tang Yin displayed, the more unbridled and barbaric he would be, the more they would happily submit to him.
Everyone subconsciously touched the helmets on their heads, then embarrassedly smiled at Tang Yin, and said to their comrades on the left and right side, "Ah, let His Highness speak first, let His Highness finish first!"
Tang Yin threw his sword onto the map, and said: The retreat is fake, the retreat is real! "Here ?"
While speaking, he pointed to a corner of the map and said: "This place is called Cuihuan Mountain, and it's only fifty kilometers away from the Zhaoyang. The surrounding mountains are surrounded by dense forest, and our army will use the retreat as our name, and hide our main forces within the Cuihuan Mountain."
"Your Highness, I have been to this Cuihuan Mountain before. It is just as Your Highness said, the four surrounding mountains, one of which is the dense forest, and there is only one way in and out. It is a small mountain pass, this place is indeed very hidden, and it is also very easy to hide heavy soldiers. However ? Why would our army hide here, Your Highness? " The loyal general asked Lei Meng in an honest tone.
"Good question!" Tang Yin smiled and nodded, and said: "The hidden troops are used to lure snakes out of their caves!"
As he spoke, he looked around at the people and continued to speak: "When the Chastity Army withdraws, all that remains is the Feng Army outside the Zhaoyang City. At that time, the Feng Army will attack the Zhaoyang alone, and then, the Feng Army will act as if they are losing soldiers, not to mention, the Feng Army will retreat, and the surrounding Zhaoyang will no longer be a threat, and at that time, the city's Chuan Army will no longer be willing to let go of the Feng Army. Most likely, the Zhaoyang will chase out, and as long as the Chuan Army leaves the city, the Zhaoyang will become an empty city.
When Tang Yin finished speaking, the eyes of all the loyal generals present lit up, and they all smiled brightly as they thought to themselves, This is wonderful! This plan was too good, skillfully using the matter of the general's assassination to hide the troops in Cuihuan Mountain, then using Feng Army as bait to lure the snake out of its cave, and then seizing the opportunity to attack. Most importantly, their side could enter the Zhaoyang a step earlier due to the Feng Army. This plan was too beneficial for their side.
"Good!" "Feng King's plan is too good!" As long as Feng Army can lead the defending army away, our army will be able to easily break through the Zhaoyang! "
"In order to ensure that this battle is foolproof, this king will always stay in the Your Army to command. The generals won't mind, will they?" Tang Yin looked at everyone.
"No, no, absolutely not!" With Tang Yin here, they wouldn't even have time to be happy, how could they rush outside? Moreover, Tang Yin being able to stay in the Chastity Army alone had unknowingly dispelled the doubt in their hearts.
Tang Yin nodded and said with a stern face, "Since all of you are willing to accept this king as your commander, then this king will have to put forth an ugly front. You will have to obey this king no matter what, and no one is allowed to act on their own, if anyone disobeys this king's orders ?"
"When it comes to military law, punishment is harsh!" All the Chastity Generals answered in unison.
Tang Yin's face finally revealed a smile and he nodded his head slightly. After that, Tang Yin wrote out his plan in detail, ordering Zhen Soldier to send it back to the Feng Army Camp while he stayed behind and personally instructed the Chastity Army to retreat.
Under his unified command, the Chastity Army was split into two parts, one bright and one dark, it seemed fake, and only had a few thousand troops. They assumed a posture of being the main force of the Chastity Army, and escorted Yin Li's coffin back towards the Zhen Country, the other part was the main force of the Chastity Army, taking advantage of the night time when they secretly snuck into the Cuihuan Mountain.
Just like what Lei Meng and Lei Meng had said, the Cuihuan Mountain's terrain was very strange, like a gigantic crater inside a volcano. There were mountains on four sides and a depression in the middle.
There was only one narrow mountain pass in and out of the valley. It was relatively narrow, but the narrowest part of the pass was no less than ten meters wide. The valley that was surrounded by mountains was too big. Not to mention several hundred thousand soldiers, it was more than enough to hide a million soldiers.
