"In this case, I should also go to Kawaguchi County to see what the situation is there." Tang Yin rubbed his chin and murmured.

"Your Majesty, this trip is dangerous, so be careful." Yin Lan reminded.

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded, then smiled gratefully at Yin Lan and said, "I know."

Tang Yin decided to go to Kawaguchi County in person. Judging from the current situation of the New Army, he was the only one who could stabilize the situation.

Although the trip was dangerous, he still left his direct troops in Yuzhen. After all, Yuzhen was the core of the entire Andi, and there was no room for any losses here. He only took the accompanying guard battalion south to Kawaguchi County.

The strength of the guard battalion was about 5,000, which in Tang Yin's opinion was enough. To make a long story short, there was no talk all the way. Soon, the team headed by Tang Yin successfully resisted the Fengjun camp in Kawaguchi County.

Because Liu Zhang was seriously injured, he was greeted by Qi Heng when he came out of the camp. After meeting, Qi Heng stepped forward quickly, stepped in and saluted, and said: "I will see you at last, your Majesty!"

Tang Yin stepped out of the car, waved his hand casually, and then asked: "How is Liu Zhang's injury?"

"There is no fear of life, but we can't stay here yet. It is estimated that it will take at least two or three months to recover." Qi Heng bowed and replied.

Tang Yin spent nearly a month on the road from Yuzhen to Kawakou County. After such a long time, Liu Zhang was still unable to stay, which showed the seriousness of his injuries. Tang Yin frowned and said suspiciously: "It's just a mere arrow.

Why are the injuries so severe?"

Qi Heng said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, you don't know. The assassins came prepared. The crossbow arrows were all coated with poison. When the medical officer treated General Liu's wounds, although he could detoxify them, he still had to injure the poisonous flesh nearby.

After digging it out and draining out the poisonous blood, it is not easy for General Liu to save his life."

"What a ruthless method... Come to think of it, this is called 'Beheading Operation'!" Tang Yin said to himself.

"Ah?" Qi Heng didn't understand and looked at him in confusion. Tang Yin didn't bother to explain, and asked as he walked into the camp: "Did An Jun still come to steal the camp during this time?"

Qi Heng's face straightened and he said: "The last general has ordered the entire army to take strict precautions so as not to give the enemy any more opportunities."

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded, and then asked: "How is the situation of food and grass in the army?"

"Previously, the New Army suffered a greater loss of food and grass. However, the Pingyuan Army fighting in Zhuyang County promptly delivered a batch of food and grass, which solved the urgent need. Now that the supplies from the rear have been delivered, our army and the New Army have enough food and grass.

"Qi Heng replied.

"Haha!" Tang Yin looked at Qi Heng and smiled, and said, "It seems that you owe Xiao Muqing another favor."

"Yes, when this battle is over, I will thank General Xiao again." Qi Heng said seriously.

While talking, Tang Yin and others had already entered the Feng camp. Instead of going to the Zhongjun tent, he went to Liu Zhang's sleeping tent first to visit the seriously injured Liu Zhang.

Seeing the king coming to visit him in person, Liu Zhang was struggling on the bed to get down and salute. Tang Yin quickly stepped forward, held him down, shook his head and said: "You are injured, so there is no need to talk about the red tape. Just lie down."

!”

"Your Majesty——" Liu Zhang's eyes were red and he almost shed tears. Firstly, he felt ashamed, and secondly, he felt wronged. This battle was so annoying. He had only fought against the enemy once, and he was stabbed to death.

He was seriously injured, almost life-threatening, and also dragged down the entire army.

Tang Yin understood how he felt now, smiled lightly, patted Liu Zhang on the shoulder and said: "Every time you take a step, you gain wisdom. Now you should understand that even if the enemy is as weak as an ant, at the critical moment, if it can't be dealt with, it can still...

I'm going to bite you back. When two armies are fighting, the outcome will not be determined until the battle is over. Don't be careless!"

Liu Zhang nodded while listening. After this bloody lesson, he could understand Tang Yin's words better. Of course, Tang Yin's words were also a warning to himself. No matter when, no matter what kind of enemy he faced, he should not underestimate him.

your opponent.

After that, Tang Yin comforted him again, and then he left the sleeping tent and entered the Chinese army tent.

After Tang Yin was seated, he immediately said: "Tomorrow, our army will attack the city."

He didn't ask the generals present, he used an affirmative tone. The generals of Qi Heng were all stunned. The king had just arrived, and he rushed to attack the city without even having time to understand the specific situation. Is it possible?

Bai An bowed and asked, "I wonder what your Majesty's plan is?"

Tang Yin smiled and said: "Didn't Liu Zhang make arrangements before? Just follow his tactics!"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and finally Bai An asked cautiously: "Does Your Majesty think it's feasible?"

Tang Yin said with a smile: "Liu Zhang's assassination was just an accident. It does not mean that the tactics he formulated were not good. In addition, everyone should not be frightened by the defenders at the pavilion. After all, there is no one in this small area who can compete with our army head-on."

With strength, our army will win tomorrow’s battle!”

Hearing his words, all the generals present were cheered up. They took a deep breath and joined in and said in unison: "General, I obey your orders! In tomorrow's battle, we will do our best to wipe out the enemy!"

"Okay!" What Tang Yin wanted was their words. If he wanted to improve the morale of the entire army, he had to first improve the morale of the generals.

"Okay, there's nothing else to do, everyone can go back now."

"General, please retire!" Everyone was about to leave the Chinese military tent when Tang Yin suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, everyone has been working very hard during this period and has been on alert. Let the brothers have a good rest and sleep well tonight."

I feel like I can cheer up for tomorrow’s battle!”

"Yes! Your Majesty!" All the generals responded in unison.

After everyone walked out of the central military tent, Ren Xiao frowned and said with concern: "Your Highness, I think it is tonight that we should be more vigilant!"

"Oh?" Tang Yin smiled and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Ren Xiao said: "The An army obviously knew very well that in a frontal battle, they would not have any advantage. They also adopted the tactic of capturing the thief first, and forced our troops to retreat by assassinating the commander and raiding for supplies. His Highness arrived at Kawaguchi County

I think An Jun will also know the news, and An Jun is likely to repeat his old tricks tonight."

When Yin Lan heard this, she was shocked and immediately said: "Master Ren, what you mean is...that assassins will sneak into our military camp tonight to assassinate the king?"

Ren Xiao nodded and said, "Although I'm not sure, it's very possible."

Tang Yin looked up and laughed, praising: "It seems that Brother Ren has learned a lot during his time with the army!"

After a pause, he slowly calmed down his smile and said with a cold snort: "I told the brothers that they don't need to strengthen their defenses tonight. What they want is to lure the enemy's assassins. I want to teach An Jun a lesson and let them understand what it means."

If you beat a dog with a meat bun, there will be no return!”

Ren Xiao was stunned for a moment, then he became happy and said with a sigh of relief: "It turns out that His Highness has already thought of this."

Tang Yin squinted his eyes, shrugged, and said no more.

Both of them thought that once the military camp was unprepared, An Jun would take risks again and send assassins to assassinate them. However, they both guessed wrong this time. It was a calm night and the assassins did not appear. Tang Yin and Ren Xiao also

Somewhat unexpected.

However, Tang Yin didn't take it to heart. After all, his target was not the assassin, but the defenders in Tingkou City.

Early the next morning, the new army was dispatched, adopting the tactics that Liu Zhang had previously arranged. The first and second corps were to attack the north city, the third and fourth corps were to attack the south city, the fifth and sixth corps were to attack the west city, and the ninth and tenth corps were to attack the west city.

The Corps took the initiative to reach East City.

The arrival of Tang Yin doubled the morale of the new army officers and soldiers. In addition, the main force was dispatched, and the momentum was even greater. As soon as the battle began, the new army used its full strength, launching trebuchets and city-breaking crossbows at the same time. The small Tingkou City

, the walls on all sides roared continuously, and the ground shook with the continuous blows of stone bullets.

When the long-range strikes of the trebuchets and city-breaking crossbows were almost complete, the eight corps began to advance together, pressing towards Tingkou City.

Perhaps the Feng Army's siege attack was too fierce, and it was besieged from all sides. The counterattack in Tingkou City was very weak, and there was almost no resistance as expected. The Feng Army successfully attacked the city and entered the city in one go.

As the main force of the Feng Army entered the city, people were all disappointed. According to reports, there were more than 5,000 defenders in the city. However, after the battle was over, the number of soldiers killed and captured was less than 1,000.

And most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.

When inspecting the prisoners of the An army, Tang Yin's face became increasingly ugly. It was such a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people with less than a thousand people who blocked his own army of 200,000 people outside Tingkou City for a month? It was simply a joke.

The expressions on the faces of Qi Heng and other generals were not good. Everyone hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Your Majesty, when we attacked the city earlier, there were at least about 5,000 defenders in the city, and there were also many spirit warriors among them.

Masters are definitely not these old, weak and disabled soldiers."

Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and asked, "Where is that person? Where are the five thousand Anjun and Lingwu masters you mentioned? Where are they?"

"This..." Qi Heng's generals were at a loss for words. They also felt incredulous. Yes, where did the defenders in the city go? They were obviously more than 5,000 elites, but why did they suddenly become less than 1,000?

Remaining soldiers?

Qi Heng stamped his feet, roared suddenly, and rushed angrily to a veteran of the An Army. He grabbed him with one hand and pulled him out of the crowd like he was trying to lift a chicken, and asked sternly: "Inside Tingkou City.

Where are the defenders now? Tell me!"

The veteran was trembling with fear, his legs were shaking, and he stammered: "Everyone...has evacuated. They had already evacuated the pavilion a few days ago..."

"Nonsense!" Qi Heng shouted: "Our army's eyes are everywhere around the entrance of the pavilion. If the defenders in the city withdraw, how can our army not know about it?"

"The villain didn't lie. Everything he said is true. They disguised themselves as fleeing people and evacuated in batches..." the veteran said in a trembling voice.

"Ah?" Qi Heng had calculated everything, but he really missed this point. He did not expect that the defenders with such tenacious fighting spirit would quietly evacuate the pavilion, let alone that the defenders would break into pieces and disguise themselves as fleeing refugees.
