Volume 10 Chapter 143

Li Sheng was hit by an arrow in his left shoulder, and he groaned in pain. He unconsciously lowered the shield in his hand. In the blink of an eye, several eagle feathers flew over and nailed him in the chest.

Puff, puff, puff! With a series of muffled sounds, Li Sheng was hit by several arrows in the chest. He roared and looked up at the sky, and fell straight down. The two corps commanders behind him saw this and were frightened. They rushed forward and supported him. Then they dared not move forward half a step. They used their shields to protect the seriously injured Li Sheng, dragged him back, and shouted: "Withdraw! Withdraw immediately!"

The first attack of the direct army on Fengyang ended hastily with the disastrous defeat of its vanguard army.

In this battle, the direct army was completely defeated. Two corps and 20,000 soldiers were not even one corps left when they withdrew. The vanguard officer Li Sheng was also hit by dozens of arrows and was dying. In addition, the catapults and city-breaking crossbows lost during the attack added up to more than a hundred. Not to mention that the direct army had never suffered such a defeat, the Feng army had never been defeated so badly since Tang Yin became king.

Upon hearing the news that the vanguard army had returned in defeat, Tang Yin and the Feng generals were shocked. When people saw Li Sheng, the latter had lost his mind and had more than a dozen arrows sticking out of his body.

Tang Yin still valued Li Sheng, the young general, and specially arranged for his exclusive doctor Su Yelei to treat his injuries. Then, under the protection of many Feng generals, he personally went to the vicinity of Fengyang to observe the terrain of Fengyang City.

When Tang Yin and his party arrived, the Feng army had not yet cleared the battlefield in front of Fengyang City. Looking up, the ground in front of the city was full of corpses of Feng soldiers, and the arrows stuck in the ground were a black layer. The ground in front of Fengyang City was originally bare, but now it seemed to have grown a layer of black weeds. In addition, round boulders were everywhere. The boulders were basically all bloodstained, and there were many pieces of meat and meat on them. I don’t know how much blood and flesh of the Feng army each boulder crushed.

Just looking at the scene after the battle, it is not difficult to imagine the tragic attack of the Feng army just now. On the other hand, the tall walls of Fengyang City were not even damaged, and even a little blood could not be found. In other words, the strong attack of the two corps of the direct army just now did not cause any substantial threat and blow to Fengyang.

Seeing this, Tang Yin’s eyes were already spurting fire, and his fists were clenched tighter and tighter. While he was gritting his teeth and inspecting, suddenly, there was a sharp sound of a blade cutting through the sky from the top of Fengyang City, and a steel arrow flew down like lightning, heading straight for Tang Yin's forehead.

Tang Yin reacted very quickly. When the arrow flew close to him, he lowered his head slightly, and heard a click in his ear. The steel arrow did not hit Tang Yin's head, but was deeply nailed into the rock behind him.

"Be careful, my king!" Seeing that the enemy's arrow could hit Tang Yin, the surrounding generals and guards were so scared that they rushed forward and protected Tang Yin to retreat behind the bend.

Tang Yin did not push the people around him away, but was full of surprise. He had just turned the corner and saw Fengyang, and the enemy's arrows could be shot at him. This meant that if he attacked Fengyang, he would be exposed to the range of Mo Jun just after he showed his head. From this, it can be inferred that it was impossible for him to use large siege weapons such as catapults and city-breaking crossbows. Because of the bend, catapults and city-breaking crossbows had to withstand the enemy's arrows when they wanted to hit Fengyang. No wonder Li Sheng lost so many catapults and city-breaking crossbows when he attacked Fengyang, and it was ineffective.

"Is the king okay..." Looking at Tang Yin who was in a daze, the wind generals asked with concern.

Tang Yin came back to his senses, shook his head slowly, and murmured: "What a dangerous city! Fengyang is far more dangerous than Tongmen!"

At this time, the arrogance of the wind generals when they first came disappeared completely. People's faces were more solemn than each other, and their brows were frowned more deeply than each other.

"Report--"

A Fengjun guard came galloping from behind, approached the crowd, turned over and dismounted, and hurried towards Tang Yin.

"What's the matter?" Tang Yin's face returned to normal, and he asked in a low and unhurried tone.

"Report to the king, yes... yes..." The Fengjun guard knelt on one knee on the ground, stammering for a long time without finishing his words.

Tang Yin was displeased and shouted in a deep voice: "Speak quickly if you have something to say!"

"Report to the king, General Li Sheng was seriously injured and died, he is... no longer able to do it..."

"What?" Tang Yin heard this and his head buzzed. Li Sheng had helped him destroy Ningguo and resist the Sichuan-Zhen coalition. He had survived so many powerful enemies, but this time he was going to be defeated by the insignificant Fengyang. How could Tang Yin accept it? He didn't say anything more, pushed the guard who reported the news away, jumped on his horse, and whipped his whip to run towards the camp where his side was stationed. The Fengjuns also got on their horses and followed Tang Yin closely.

When Tang Yin returned to the camp, Li Sheng had already died, his body lying straight on the bed, with more than a dozen bloody arrows on the tray beside him, and his tattered armor hanging on the shelf next to him.

Tang Yin walked to the bed, knelt on one knee, slowly stretched out his hand, and felt Li Sheng's breath. In his heart, he still held on to the last glimmer of hope, but the coldness from his fingertips told him that Li Sheng was indeed dead.

He closed his eyes and didn't speak for a long time, and his body remained motionless, half-crouching and half-kneeling. The wind generals behind him had sad faces, took off their helmets, and knelt down silently. Seeing the brothers who were chatting and laughing not long ago turned into cold corpses in the blink of an eye, no one felt better.

After an unknown amount of time, Tang Yin's seemingly stiff body finally moved. He reached out and grabbed a handful of arrows in the tray, and asked expressionlessly: "Why can't you save him?"

Su Yelei, who was also in the tent, shook her head and said, "I tried my best."

"Even if I am injured and only have half a breath left, you can still save me." Tang Yin's tone was very calm, but his chest was filled with flames, making him feel as if his chest was about to explode.

"Not everyone can be like you." Su Yelei lowered her head and arranged her medical tools.

Click!

More than a dozen arrows were all broken in Tang Yin's palm. He stood up and turned around. What came out of his eyes was no longer fire, but frightening green light. He glared at the generals, gritted his teeth and said in a ferocious voice: "I want to break through Fengyang City, kill every soldier inside, and burn every plant and tree inside. I want Xishan County to flow with blood like a river, and pile up corpses into a mountain!"

Listening to Tang Yin's roar, Su Yelei's body was obviously shaken. The generals who were kneeling on the ground did not even dare to raise their heads. The guards inside and outside the tent were also trembling involuntarily. After all, Tang Yin is the king of a country, and he is always smiling and rarely gets angry. But if he does get angry, no one from top to bottom will not be afraid.

After a while, all the generals had the courage to respond in unison: "We swear to fight to the bitter end with Thief Mo and avenge General Li Sheng!"

Tang Yin turned his head and shouted: "Where is Cheng Jin?"

"My subordinate is here!" Cheng Jin almost jumped up to Tang Yin with a speed that was no worse than Shadow Drift.

"You choose a hundred men to attack Fengyang with me tonight. I want to see if Fengyang is a dragon pool or a tiger's den?!" Tang Yin shouted in a condensing voice.

"I obey!" Tang Yin personally attacked Fengyang at night. This was not the best idea, but now that he was in a rage, even Cheng Jin, a close minister who was closest to him, did not dare to dissuade him.

Tang Yin took a deep breath, trying to calm down as much as possible, and then said quietly: "Take Li Sheng's body back to the mainland and give it a proper burial. In addition, posthumously confer Li Sheng'an the title of Marquis of Anguo and grant him the title of General of Anguo!"

Li Sheng's ability and spirit were not outstanding among Feng Kingdom generals, but Tang Yin's posthumous title for him was quite high, but no one cares about it now. Who would care about these false names with a dead man?

All the generals raised their hands and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

After leaving Li Sheng's camp, Tang Yin returned to the central military tent. As soon as he entered, he saw Shao Jun walking quickly towards him and asked with concern: "I heard... I heard that General Li Sheng was killed in battle?"

Seeing Shao Jun, Tang Yin's anger that had just calmed down began to burn again. The head of Xishan County was Shao Yu, who was the number one murderer of Li Sheng. Shao Jun and Shao Yu were from the same clan, and they hated each other. Tang Yin Shao Jun looks even more unpleasant now.

He suppressed his anger and responded absently: "Yes."

"Alas!" I don't know whether it was out of sincerity or falsehood, Shao Jun looked up to the sky and sighed, shook his head and said: "It's really sad and lamentable, I have lost another general in the strong wind!"

Listening to his words, Tang Yin completely thought of himself as Feng Ren. Tang Yin had never seen such a thick-skinned person.

He tilted his head, examined Shao Jun for a long time, and asked, "I heard that Brother Shao Wang wants to see me?" If he didn't change the subject, Tang Yin would be unable to restrain the urge to crush Shao Jun to death.

Shao Jun nodded repeatedly and responded: "Yes, yes, yes!" After a pause, he said with an expression of embarrassment: "Originally, I wanted to see His Highness Feng Wang, but now...it's no longer needed..."

"Speak clearly." Tang Yin said impatiently.

Shao Jun swallowed his mouth and said: "Originally, I wanted to remind His Highness Feng Wang that Fengyang is not easy to fight and we should not attack rashly. Shao Fang was so crazy about killing his fellow clansmen in Mo country, but he never dared to take action against Shao Yu. Worried about the dangers of Fengyang..."

Before he finished speaking, Tang Yin tapped the table and said coldly: "Stop talking about it." Saying this now is completely an afterthought. He leaned forward slightly and said with a sneer: "A mere Fengyang is not enough to stop the pace of my gale warrior! A mere setback is not enough to damage my Feng Jun Erlang's ambition. Brother Shao Wang, there is no need to worry about it anymore .
