Chapter 704

"His Highness's cultivation has improved rapidly in the past few days, which is gratifying!" Ren Xiao said with a smile.

In the past few days, Tang Yin not only sucked up all the prisoners in the cell of Lieutenant Mansion, but also all the death row prisoners sent from the surrounding counties of Zhenjiang. Many of them were spiritual cultivators. His cultivation level

Of course it's progressing by leaps and bounds.

He said with a smile: "When there is pressure, there will naturally be motivation."

"Pressure?" Ren Xiao looked at him puzzled.

Tang Yin pointed at Ren Xiao with a smile and said, "You are my pressure."

Seeing the surprise on his face, he continued: "When I see you, I feel like I am seeing the Divine Pond, and when I think of the Divine Pond, I will naturally think of the Huangfu Show Stage and the elders of the Divine Pond. This is pressure, and it is also mine.

power."

Ren Xiao shook his head and smiled, and said: "It seems that His Highness still regards Shenchi as the future enemy of Feng Kingdom!"

Tang Yin said: "I don't think that when the world is unified, Shenchi will bow down obediently."

"Unify the world?" Ren Xiao asked in surprise, "Does Your Highness still want to go to war?"

"That's right! I have decided to send troops to attack Anguo in the near future." Tang Yin no longer concealed anything and said straightforwardly.

Ren Xiao took a breath and murmured: "His Highness wants to use troops again, and the two countries of Feng'an will definitely be devastated!"

Tang Yin said: "The countries have been divided into one side. For thousands of years, there have been constant wars. There are countless civilians and soldiers killed and injured. If you want peace and stability in the future, you cannot have the kindness of women today. You must take the initiative to seek war and end the division."

In this situation, someone needs to step forward, and I think I am that person!"

Ren Xiao was stunned for a while before bursting into laughter. He appreciated Tang Yin's ambition and ambition, and at the same time admired his frankness. He asked with a smile: "I wonder when Your Highness plans to send troops?"

"Although the specific date has not been set yet, I believe it will not be too far away." Tang Yin asked with bright eyes: "How about it? Brother Ren, are you interested in joining me on the expedition to see the majesty of the battlefield?"

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders. As His Highness's mentor and friend, I seem to have no reason to refuse." Ren Xiaoxiao said.

"What a good teacher and friend. Just for my words, you and I have to have fun and compare a few tricks tonight." Tang Yin put down the wine bottle in his hand and stood up.

Ren Xiao was free and easy. He stood up and said with a smile: "I hope His Highness will show mercy!"

As he spoke, Tang Yinzhou was covered with black spiritual armor. At the same time, Ren Xiao also released spiritual pressure to limit his shadow drift.

Even if it was just a point-and-click discussion, with both of them being in the spiritual realm, the momentum they created in the courtyard was extremely frightening. Under the balance and collision of spiritual pressure, it was like a hurricane blowing in the courtyard.

, the flowers and plants on the ground were blown off one after another, and the leaves on the branches were blown off one after another. Looking inside the venue, only grass foam and broken leaves were spinning rapidly in the air. Tang Yin and Ren Xiao could still be seen.

.

In the past two days, Ah San and Ah Si had become accustomed to this. The two of them retreated to the corner of the yard with great experience, and both used spiritual pressure to prevent the high-speed swirling flowers, plants and leaves from scratching them.

Feng, New Calendar, in the ninth month of the fifth year, the Feng King Tang Yin suddenly issued an edict, condemning the Anguo monarch Yue Ze's father for snatching his son's wife and seizing the royal family. This was the shame of the kings of the Haotian Empire. The Feng King was ashamed to associate with him. Officially

Declared war on Anguo.

In the afternoon of the same day, Tang Yin issued a nationwide mobilization order and reiterated his determination to declare war on Anguo.

Just one day after the incident, the Feng Kingdom's direct-affiliated army and the Ninth Army stationed in Wacang County both went south and broke into Anguo's Chizhou and Gurao counties respectively. At this point, Feng Kingdom's long-awaited war against An officially broke out.

While the frontline troops were attacking southward, Tang Yin also left Zhenjiang and commanded a hundred thousand "student army" headed by Liu Zhang, Bai An, Yan Yan, Xu You, and Xiong Gu, and marched toward Anguo in a mighty manner.

Liu Zhang and others were temporarily recruited back to Zhenjiang by Tang Yin. Through the training of fighting in the western states such as Piar, these students of Lingwu Academy have become more mature.

Bai An, Yan Yan, and Xiong Gu's spiritual martial arts improved by leaps and bounds, and Liu Zhang showed his style as a general.

When leading his army southward, every time he took a break, Liu Zhang would personally lead the soldiers to set up camp, being orderly and meticulous, quite like Liang Qi, the commander of the Sanshui Army.

In terms of running the army, he is like Xiao Muqing, the commander of the Pingyuan Army. He is strict where he should be strict and loose where he should be loose. He can also get along well with the soldiers below and is good at boosting the morale of the entire army.

Tang Yin's hard work was not in vain. Liu Zhang learned too many skills and experiences through working with outstanding commanders such as Xiao Muqing and Liang Qi.

During the march, the battle reports from the front came back to Tang Yin like snowflakes.

Anguo was unprepared for Fengguo's sudden attack, and was caught off guard by the Directly Affiliated Army and the Ninth Army. The two armies marched straight in with overwhelming momentum. It only took five days for the Directly Affiliated Army to reach Meicheng, the county seat of Chizhou.

When An Guo female general Bai Qing held back hundreds of thousands of Huan troops outside the city in Meicheng, the Huan troops could not attack for a long time, so they could only bypass the city and find other places. But now, a hundred thousand direct troops are less than 100,000 strong.

In two days, Meicheng was captured in one fell swoop.

Rather than saying that Meicheng was captured by the Feng Army, it is better to say that the Anguo defenders surrendered on their own initiative.

On the day when the direct army arrived at Meicheng, they did not launch an attack immediately. Wuying ordered all the soldiers to camp outside the city, rest for one night, and fight again the next day. After the next day, the direct army had a good meal, and then they launched a large-scale attack.

camp and advance towards Meicheng.

Seeing the overwhelming Feng army outside the city, the An army defending the city was so frightened that their legs weakened even before they could engage in battle. The soldiers hid behind the arrow stacks, not even daring to show their heads, let alone resist the Feng army's attack.

.

When Feng's army advanced within the shooting range of Meicheng, not a single arrow was fired from the top of the city. At this time, Wuying ordered the entire army to suspend their advance.

She rode out of the formation and shouted in the direction of the city: "I am Wuying, the commander-in-chief of the army directly under the Feng Kingdom. Brother Anjun in the city, listen, our army is going to attack Yueze, the faint king who has rebelled against the royal family, and

Not Brother Anjun. Back then, we were all brothers and sisters who fought side by side against powerful enemies. Today, Wuying doesn’t want to go to war with Brother Anjun. As long as there is a brother who is willing to surrender to our army, I, Wuying, can guarantee him.

I don't worry about my life. If you are willing to stay in our army, I will welcome you. If you are not willing to stay, I will not force you to do so. I will provide him with transportation and let him go home!"

As the saying goes, attacking the city is the priority, and attacking the heart is the priority. Wuying's words made the Anguo defenders hiding behind the arrow stacks stand up one after another and look at the extremely familiar figure and battle formation of Feng Jun outside the city.

People are also muttering in their hearts, yes, the Feng Army is obviously our own ally. The reason why they are now at odds is because of our country's stupid and unscrupulous king. The king's stupidity has turned the allies into enemies. Why should we bear such consequences?

Are you going to fight to the death with the Feng Army?

Bang! I don’t know who was the first to slam the weapon in his hand on the bricks of the city wall, and then, the sound of iron weapons hitting the ground could not be heard.

Even the general of the garrison took out his sword, struck it with all his strength on the wall bricks, folded his sword on himself, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Why do we fight?!"

In the end, no one of the 20,000 to 30,000 Anguo defenders expressed their determination to defend the country to the death. They all surrendered, opened the city gates, and let the direct troops enter the city.

The Directly Affiliated Army took over Meicheng without using a single sword or shot, without damaging Meicheng brick by brick, and took over completely peacefully. Although this is related to the deterrence caused by the strong combat power of the Feng Army, Cai Gui's early tactics

But it played a decisive factor.

The An army, who did not know "why to fight," had no fighting power at all. No matter how elite armor and weapons were equipped on them, they could not inspire their fighting spirit.

The direct army captured the entire Chizhou County, and it did not even take a month. The progress was smooth and beyond imagination.

On the other side, the Ninth Army, which was mainly attacking Gurao County, had no example of a bloodless battle on the directly-affiliated army. Qi Heng did not bother to persuade the An army to surrender. The most important point was that he was now a guilty person and needed to make more military exploits to make up for his mistakes.

The Feng Kingdom's military exploits were calculated based on the number of heads. Of course, the Ninth Army, commanded by Qi Heng, tried their best to kill An's army in order to achieve great achievements.

The Ninth Army is a heavily armored cavalry corps. Its combat power is far superior to that of the infantry. Regardless of whether the An Army is strong or weak in fighting spirit, the Ninth Army ends in a disastrous defeat after a fierce battle. The Ninth Army is in Gurao County.

The advance of the army was not as rapid as that of the direct army, but it was sure to win every battle, annihilating countless enemies, and suffering very few casualties.

When Tang Yin led the new army to the junction of Feng'an and Feng'an, the direct army had successfully captured the entire territory of Chizhou County. The Ninth Army also captured most of Gurao County, leaving only the two cities of Fenshui and Lishi in the south that had not been captured.

.

There are swamps near Fenshui City, and Lishi City is located in the mountains. Both cities are not suitable for cavalry combat, let alone heavy cavalry.

After Tang Yin understood his own situation clearly, he ordered Wuying and Qi Heng to join forces and continue to advance south. As for the two cities of Fenshui and Lishi, Liu Zhang was given the command of a new army to attack, while Tang Yin himself stayed with the army and watched.

Liu Zhang understood that this was an assessment by the king to see if he had become a qualified commander.

In fact, there were not many defenders in Fenshui and Lishi. However, after the defenders in the north were defeated by the Ninth Army, they all fled to these two cities, resulting in a surge in the number of defenders in the two cities. What is terrible is that the style of the Ninth Army

They were brutal, killing An Jun who resisted, and also killed An Jun who surrendered, making An Jun fearful and hateful. The defenders who fled to Fenshui and Lishi all made up their minds to fight the Feng army to the end.

Currently, there are more than 30,000 defenders in Fenshui City and about 20,000 in Lishi City. The two cities combined have more than 50,000 troops. Even if they do not defend the city, they are a force that cannot be underestimated.

After carefully analyzing the terrain of the two cities, Liu Zhang immediately decided to first attack Lishi City, which had relatively few defenders but a dangerous terrain, and then attack Fenshui, using the tactic of defeating them one by one.
