Volume 10 Chapter 166
Tang Yin looked at the generals who volunteered, nodded with a smile, and said: "Generals Zhan Peng and Yang Mao, go to assist Ye Tang and Gao Yu, and make sure to wipe out the White-headed Army! By the way, as for the bandit leader named Qi Heng, try to capture him alive. I want to see what kind of person he is."
"I obey your order!"
Ye Tang and Gao Yu were not successful in suppressing the bandits, so Tang Yin immediately sent Zhan Peng and Yang Mao to reinforce. It seemed to Tang Yin that it was a sure thing for Ye, Gao, Zhan, and Yang to suppress the bandits together. No matter how powerful Qi Heng was, he could not be the opponent of these four generals.
But the war was not as smooth as he imagined. After Zhan Peng, Yang Mao joined forces with Ye Tang and Gao Yu, the Feng Army regrouped and launched an attack on the White-headed Army again. However, this time Ye Tang and Gao Yu were much more cautious and did not attack rashly. Instead, they scolded the enemy at the foot of the mountain and provoked Qi Heng to go down the mountain for a fight.
Qi Heng was not vague either, and really went down the mountain alone to fight the four generals.
Ye Tang, Gao Yu, Zhan Peng, and Yang Mao fought Qi Heng together, each using their best skills. As a result, Feifan failed to defeat Qi Heng and was defeated by him. He was almost injured by Qi Heng.
Two generals were not his opponents, and four generals were also not his opponents. The news was passed back to the direct army camp, and there was an uproar, including Tang Yin.
At this time, Tang Yin had to re-examine Qi Heng, the leader of the bandits. At present, Guo Jue is the most familiar with Anqiu County in the Feng Army. Tang Yin specially asked someone to find Guo Jue and ask him who Qi Heng is and why he is so powerful.
In fact, Guo Jue is not very familiar with Qi Heng. He only knows that he is the leader of the bandit Baitou Army, and Lingwu is extremely powerful. The Baitou Army is just a mob of hooligans, wanted criminals and desperate people. They can survive in Anqiu and withstand the encirclement and suppression of the county army several times, all thanks to Qi Heng alone.
After listening to his introduction, Tang Yin shook his head helplessly. This information is worthless to him.
Guo Jue said seriously, "In order to eliminate the White-headed Army, the county government had dispatched more than 20,000 local troops, but in the end they were still defeated. If the king really wants to eliminate the White-headed Bandit Army, sending only 10,000 soldiers is probably far from enough. Why not..."
"Why not?"
"Why not let the king lead the main force and go there in person." Guo Jue advised.
Tang Yin held his chin and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "It seems that this is the only way."
He originally planned to rush to Shangwan as soon as possible to fight a decisive battle with the local army led by Gao Guan, but Qi Heng's appearance interrupted Tang Yin's steps. Since it was said earlier that the Feng Army would help Anqiu County to eliminate the bandits, Tang Yin did not want to give up halfway, but sending a small force would not be able to deal with the White-headed Army at all. Instead of waiting and wasting time, it would be better to lead the main force to go there and completely eliminate the White-headed Army, and then turn back to deal with the Mo Army stockpiled in Shangwan with all his strength.
The main force of the direct army changed its marching direction and marched towards the stronghold of the White-headed Army.
The momentum of the 10,000 Feng Army led by Ye Tang and Gao Yu was naturally not comparable to that of the main force of the Feng Army. When Tang Yin led the army to the foot of the mountain, looking down from the mountain, the battle formations of the Feng Army were in rows and rows, and the red tassels on the heads of the soldiers formed a red ocean, covering the sky and the earth, and there was no edge. There was no need to fight, the momentum of the Feng Army alone was enough to scare the opponent.
Tang Yin did not stop, and immediately sent the general Zhan Hu to challenge the front of the formation. Now around Tang Yin, the only general who can be regarded as the top level is Zhan Hu.
Zhan Hu's quarrel soon made the mountain move, and with the sound of drums, a horse rushed down from the mountain. This man, who was dressed in black, wearing a black spirit armor, holding a black Nine-turn Soul-breaking Sword, and wearing a black cloak on his back, rushed down the mountain with murderous aura, so majestic.
Ye Tang and Gao Yu saw the man clearly, grinned secretly, turned their heads to look at Tang Yin at the same time, and said with a bow: "My king, this man is Qi Heng!"
Tang Yin sat on his horse, silently looking at each other, and nodded slightly.
Zhan Hu and Qi Heng did not have any extra nonsense. After meeting, the two sides did not even report their names, and immediately fought together. As one of the four great generals of Feng Country, Zhan Hu's spiritual martial arts cultivation has always been his weakness. His strength lies in his earth-shaking brute force, but this time he has met his nemesis. Like Zhan Hu, Qi Heng also possessed a terrifying brute force, but what made him even more powerful than Zhan Hu was that his spiritual martial arts skills were also extremely profound. He could easily master all kinds of top spiritual martial arts skills, and he could also release them continuously.
The two of them fought on the battlefield, and within three rounds, Qi Heng's warhorse was shattered. The two of them fought on foot, killing each other and fighting each other. The battlefield was full of flying sand and rocks, and the sky was dark. The clanging sound of iron colliding accompanied by the loud rumbling sound came into people's ears from time to time. The wind army soldiers near the battlefield covered their ears and retreated repeatedly. Even Tang Yin and others who were far away from the battlefield could feel the strong wind coming towards them. In just a blink of an eye, Zhan Hu and Qi Heng had fought for fifty rounds. The two were evenly matched and there was no winner.
Qiu Zhen said to Tang Yin while watching the battle: "I never thought that there would be a bandit in Mo Country who could fight General Zhan Hu to a draw. Mo Country is indeed a place where crouching tigers and hidden dragons are everywhere!"
Tang Yin was not as optimistic as him. He stared at the battlefield intently, his brows furrowed more and more, his face became more and more solemn, and he murmured: "I'm afraid that Zhan Hu may not be this man's opponent."
Qiu Zhen was shocked and said in horror: "Why? Your Majesty thinks that even General Zhanhu can't beat him?"
Tang Yin smiled bitterly and said: "To defeat this man, I'm afraid only Yuan Rang can!" As he spoke, black mist emanated from his body, which attached to his body and condensed without dispersing. At the same time, two crescent-shaped curved swords appeared in his palms.
Seeing this, Qiu Zhen and the generals around him were all shocked and asked: "Your Majesty is going to fight in person?"
Tang Yin was happy, glanced around, and said: "It's rare to meet such a powerful master, how can I miss the opportunity?"
"But this person..."
"Don't worry, Qi Heng is powerful, but it's not so easy to hurt me!" Tang Yin said leisurely: "Generals, support me!" After that, he knocked his feet hard on the horse's belly and urged the horse to rush out.
Tang Yin rode his horse straight ahead, like an arrow shot from a bow, and soon approached the battlefield. At this time, Zhan Hu and Qi Heng were still fighting fiercely on the battlefield, and the winner was still undecided. Tang Yin shouted, "Zhan Hu, retreat quickly, I will fight him!"
Suddenly hearing Tang Yin's shout, Zhan Hu was startled, and hurriedly made a feint, jumped out of the circle, and turned back and said, "My king, what are you doing..."
Zhan Hu wanted to stop fighting and ask Tang Yin for the reason, but Qi Heng would not let him stop. He didn't care who the wind general who came over was, and he only wanted to kill Zhan Hu with his sword. He dragged his sword to Zhan Hu, and without saying a word, he chopped with his wheel sword.
Hearing the bad wind behind him, Zhan Hu gritted his teeth secretly and was about to turn around to parry, but the spiritual pressure behind him fluctuated, and there was an extra person between him and Qi Heng. This person was not someone else, but Tang Yin who dared to come over.
Tang Yin held the sword with both hands, crossed his arms and raised it upwards, and took Qi Heng's powerful and heavy sword. There was a deafening sound of golden clang in his ears, and Qi Heng's Nine-turn Soul-breaking Sword chopped down Tang Yin's double swords. The force of this sword was so great that the dust within three meters around Tang Yin was blown into the air, and countless cracks appeared on the ground under Tang Yin's feet. Even Tang Yin, who was also known for his strength, could not resist such a strong force. He almost used all his strength to retreat only three steps, but every time he retreated, he left a footprint more than three inches deep on the ground.
When he finally stabilized his body, he felt his arms numb, the tiger's mouth burning, and the blood in his chest churning.
Seeing this, Zhan Hu roared and swung his hammer to block Qi Heng. Tang Yin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Zhan Hu, retreat!"
Under Tang Yin's order, Zhan Hu had no choice but to carry the giant hammer and reluctantly retreat to the main camp, leaving Tang Yin and Qi Heng to fight.
After Zhan Hu left, Tang Yin handed the double swords to his left hand, turned the numb wrist of his right hand, and looked up and down at Qi Heng, smiling and said: "Your strength is not small!"
Qi Heng was not in the mood to chat with him now. He said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense! You want to fight in a round, I will accompany you to the end!" As he said, he raised the spirit knife and chopped at Tang Yin again.
Having taken his move just now, Tang Yin knew that Qi Heng was terrifyingly strong. This time he would not fight him head-on. He used his clever and strange body skills to slide to the side, like a spinning top, and flashed out.
Qi Heng's knife didn't hit Tang Yin, but it cut a two-meter-long gap in the ground. Tang Yin was still relaxed, as if nothing had happened, and said, "Having strength alone is useless. The key is that your skills are not bad. It's a pity to become a bandit. Have you ever considered joining the army?"
On the battlefield where you fight to the death, Tang Yin still has the leisure to say such words, which Qi Heng heard as a mockery of himself. He was furious and roared, "You are looking for death!" While speaking, he swung the spirit knife and aimed at Tang Yin's upper, middle and lower three roads, slashing three times in a row.
He was fast, but Tang Yin's body movement was faster. The latter used shadow drift, flashed directly from the front of Qi Heng to his back, and used both knives to attack Qi Heng's left and right ribs.
Don't look at Tang Yin's playful smile and laughter, but his moves are not ambiguous at all. On the contrary, he is cruel and vicious. No matter which knife hits, it is enough to take Qi Heng's life.
Qi Heng's heart trembled, and he hurriedly took a step forward, narrowly avoiding Tang Yin's double swords. Then, he turned back, glared at Tang Yin, snorted and said with a smile: "Let me see, how can you perform your Shadow Drift under your spiritual pressure?!" While speaking, he moved his spiritual energy and released his spiritual pressure. In just a moment, the air within ten meters around Qi Heng seemed to solidify. There was no wind, no air flow, and even the dust floating in the air was frozen in the air, as if time had suddenly stopped.
