Volume 10 Chapter 144

Tang Yin observed the terrain of Fengyang and felt that the city was steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. It was as difficult as climbing to the sky to break the city head-on, so he immediately thought of attacking and stealing the city at night TXT download.

He arranged for Cheng Jin to select more than a hundred secret assassins, and then ordered the entire army to be ready. As soon as they saw the signal that their night attack was successful, they would rush into the city in one go.

That night, Tang Yin and Cheng Jin quietly sneaked toward Fengyang with their hidden arrows. They are all dark spiritual cultivators and masters of night sneaking. Using the cover of night, they quietly walked around the bend and approached Fengyang City.

However, Tang Yin and others were only fifty steps closer to Fengyang when they suddenly heard the alarm bell ringing loudly at the top of the city, followed by a row of rockets flying down from the top of the city.

"No, Your Majesty! Mo Jun has been on guard for a long time. There are spiritual cultivators releasing insights at the top of the city!" Cheng Jin reacted very quickly and immediately warned Tang Yin.

The rockets flying down from the top of the city exposed the traces of Tang Yin and others. In this case, Tang Yin simply took the risk and shouted to Cheng Jin and others: "Don't be nervous, just follow me and rush to the top of the city!"

At this time, Tang Yin no longer concealed his presence and rushed towards Fengyang City with long strides. Cheng Jin and others were afraid that he would make a mistake, so they hurriedly followed him.

Mo Jun on the city had already discovered Tang Yin and his party. Soon, arrows rained down from the top of the city, and the dense arrows came over them overwhelmingly.

At first, Tang Yin and others were able to use shadow drift to dodge the enemy's arrow array, but the closer they got to the city wall, the stronger the spiritual pressure released by the enemy spiritual cultivators. Gradually, the weaker secret arrow personnel could no longer use the powerful force. He cast Shadow Drift under his spiritual pressure, and was hit by arrows flying down, causing them to scream and fall to the ground.

Tang Yin planned to continue charging, but after a short time, he also felt that the spiritual pressure released by the enemy was getting stronger and stronger. If he charged down like this, not to mention that Cheng Jin and others could not use the shadow drift, even he might not be able to survive. . Tang Yin was impulsive, but at the critical moment, he was very calm-headed. He made a prompt decision and ordered the force to stop charging and retreat.

This time, the night attack launched by Tang Yin himself ended hastily with the casualties of more than ten hidden arrow personnel.

When Tang Yin retreated to the camp, he began to feel pain in his head. Why was it so difficult to attack the little-known Fengyang City? Attacking in the open and at night was not possible. Could it be that there was nothing we could do against Fengyang? Can't?

Not to mention that Tang Yin was at a loss for the Fengyang City that was blocking his way. Even the generals and counselors in the Feng Army had no plan to defeat the enemy, including Qiu Zhen who was accompanying him.

Sitting in the central army tent, Tang Yin said nothing, lowered his head and sulked. He didn't know whether he was angry at Fengyang's Mo Jun for being difficult to deal with or because he was angry at his own incompetence.

After an unknown amount of time, he raised his head, looked around at everyone, and asked: "Everyone, tell me, how can we defeat Fengyang?"

After Tang Yin finished asking, there was silence in the big tent, and no one even answered.

Seeing this, he laughed, but he was just angry. Tang Yin shook his head and said quietly: "I heard people say that when you ask a question and no one answers, it means that everyone already has something in mind. The answer.”

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in shock, and finally Qiu Zhen said: "Your Majesty, Fengyang's terrain is unique. Not to mention that it is difficult for my hundred thousand soldiers to attack, even if millions of soldiers come, I am afraid they will not be able to attack. What's more, Fengyang It is not within the scope of our military plan, and Xishan County is only a remote county, not of much value. In my opinion, it is better to... give up attacking Xishan County, and our army continues to advance south. Put pressure on Shao Fang.”

Qiu Zhen's words were the voice of everyone. As soon as he finished speaking, Lotte continued: "Your Majesty, according to the information obtained by the last general, although the army of Xishan County is a local army, its strength exceeds 200,000, and the number of soldiers is more than 200,000. The power of Xishan County is not inferior to that of the Central Army of Mo State. It is far away from the imperial court of Mo State. It can be called a country within a country. Many generals and soldiers of Xishan County have been in the army for generations, and their cohesion is very strong. Now they are in this country. Fighting in the county can be said to have taken advantage of the right time, location, and people. It is not... not a wise move for our army to fight with them!"

Everyone nodded while listening. Now people's thoughts are similar to Qiu Zhen and Letian. They all believe that the troops should withdraw. There is no need to waste money in an insignificant place like Xishan County and delay the current good fighter opportunity.

Tang Yin stared at the crowd and asked, "Do you all think it's time to withdraw?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, we are wasting all our time on Xishan County. Even if we can finally capture this county, we will lose more than we gain... Tang Yin waved his hand, interrupted everyone's admonishment, and said: "Xishan County is indeed not an important place, nor is it there. It was within the scope of our plan at the beginning, but the situation is different now. The main force of the local army of the Mo country has fled into Xishan County. If we ignore it, then these Mo troops may cause chaos from our flanks and rear at any time, and we will not be able to fight in the front. It will subside, and General Li Sheng and tens of thousands of our soldiers were killed in front of Fengyang City. How can we not avenge this bloody feud? Therefore, no matter what, I will definitely capture Xishan County! "

His words are not unreasonable. Of course, the advice of Qiu Zhen and others may not be wrong. Now, the Feng Army is indeed faced with a dilemma. If they continue to attack Xishan County, they may lose troops and generals, and they may not be able to defeat it. If they don't attack Xishan County is another huge trouble. It can stab the main force of the Feng Army in the back at any time. It is difficult to decide whether to fight or not.

After many discussions, no results came out. Tang Yin waved his hands distractedly and said, "It's getting late. Everyone, please go back and rest. We'll discuss it tomorrow!"

Everyone looked at each other, stood up helplessly, and all bowed their hands and said, "I'll excuse you!"

Tang Yin also planned to continue discussing whether to attack Fengyang and how to attack Fengyang tomorrow, but trouble occurred late that night.

At the fourth watch, Tang Yin was sleeping soundly in his tent when he suddenly heard a commotion outside. Even in his sleep, his reaction was extremely sensitive. He turned over and sat up almost instinctively. At the same time, two half-moon-shaped scimitars appeared in his hands.

He shook his still somewhat groggy head and was about to go out to see what was going on. At this time, a Fengjun guard ran in in a panic and said in a hurry: "Your Majesty, it's not good. The enemy is stealing at night." Camp, our military camp is on fire!"

"What?" After hearing this, Tang Yin was furious. He just failed to attack Fengyang tonight, but Fengyang counterattacked him again. It was really unreasonable. He stood up quickly, grabbed his coat, put it on his body and strode out.

When I got outside, I looked up again. Well, on the west side of the camp, flames were rising into the sky, and thick smoke was everywhere. The fire was so intense that even the horizon was almost burning red. Although the enemy troops came to steal the camp, how could there be such a big fire? Before he could figure out what was going on, two generals, Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan, came galloping towards Tang Yin. When they got close to Tang Yin, they got off their horses and stepped in to salute: "Your Majesty, the enemy just stole the camp and fired rockets into the camp. For some reason, our military camp was stuck in the fire, and now the Xiying camp has turned into a sea of ​​fire! "

Tang Yin's eyes were red. He had always been the one to sneak attack on others. When had he ever been attacked by the enemy like this? He pulled a war horse over, flew up and mounted it. While covering up his spiritual armor, he also spiritualized the two swords in his hands and shouted: "Stop talking nonsense and follow me to face the enemy!"

"Your Majesty..." Zhan Peng said with a look of embarrassment: "The enemy army fled after firing a few rounds of rockets. It is estimated that they have fled back to Fengyang City now!"

"Ah?" When Tang Yin heard this, his nose was almost twisted with anger. Mo Jun dared to steal the camp, but he didn't dare to enter the camp to fight. What kind of bullshit tactic is this?

"Your Majesty, the fire is spreading rapidly and cannot be extinguished even if it is put out. It seems that this camp cannot be saved, so... it is better to evacuate first!" Wei Xuan said bravely.

Tang Yin now felt that he was too weak to do anything. He raised his head and looked to the west. Just as Zhan Peng and Wei Xuan said, the fire in his camp spread too fast. In just a short time, he could even feel the burning. Waves of scalding heat rushed towards me.

"Don't be a damn thief!" Tang Yin cursed, but finally ordered the entire army to withdraw from the camp.

The camp where Feng Jun is now stationed was not built by Feng Jun himself, but a checkpoint built by Mo Jun at Xishankou. Now that it was burned down, Feng Jun didn’t feel distressed and took away all the baggage, food and tents that he could take away. Move it away and evacuate to the next Mo country checkpoint to station.

The Feng Army withdrew to a new checkpoint in Mo State and settled down. It didn't take long for the Feng Army's losses to be tallied up and handed over to Tang Yin. This time the Mo army stole the camp, there was no direct contact between the two armies, and the wind army suffered few casualties. Most of the injured were burns and minor injuries caused by collisions and trampling. In addition, there was no loss of baggage, food and grass, but the camp tents were damaged. Many were burned. What Feng Jun couldn't accept the most was that Mo Jun dared to take the initiative to attack the city and successfully burned his own camp. This was a great shame and humiliation for the Feng Army soldiers.

In the newly built Chinese military tent, Tang Yin's buttocks were still hot when Qiu Zhen hurriedly came closer from outside and said, "Your Majesty, we can't live in this camp anymore."

Tang Yin's brows were furrowed into knots and he asked, "What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, please look!" As he spoke, Qiu Zhen stepped forward and handed Tang Yin a wooden stick.

Tang Yin took the stick in confusion and looked over it repeatedly. The stick was smooth and no different. He raised his head and asked dissatisfiedly: "Qiu Zhen, what did you want me to see?"

"I broke this off from the wall of the checkpoint." Qiu Zhen took the wooden stick and put it on the candle. When it came into contact with the flame of the candle, he heard a sudden sound and the whole wooden stick began to burn. Although Qiu Zhen threw it The action of dropping it was fast enough, but his fingers were still burned. He shook his hand and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the wood used to build the level has already been smeared with pitch pine by the enemy, but Mo Jun used a special technique. , the smell of pitch pine has been removed, so the wooden stick looks very smooth, but it catches fire and cannot be extinguished even if it is put out.
