Volume 10 Chapter 168
The generals rushed up to fight, and Tang Yin felt relaxed and retreated, standing aside to watch the battle. Read the full text.
If it were a one-on-one fight, no one of the winds rushing up could be Qi Heng's opponent, but if everyone worked together to fight against him, Qi Heng would not be able to handle it no matter how powerful he was. In addition, he had fought with Tang Yin for so long and had consumed a lot of spiritual energy. Already it seemed that he was unable to do what he wanted.
All the generals gathered around Qi Heng, spinning around like a revolving lantern. You were stabbing and I was shooting. Qi Heng was looking forward and unable to look behind, blocking the left and unable to block the right, and was overwhelmed. The two sides had been fighting for less than a quarter of an hour, and Qi Heng was already panting from exhaustion and covered in sweat.
Tang Yin saw that Qi Heng was already at his wits' end and could not hold on for long, so he immediately added fuel to his fire and ordered the whole army to charge up the mountain and destroy the Baitou Army's stronghold. Qi Heng was greatly distracted by the entire Feng Army's pressure. It was already difficult for him to hold on, and with the added distraction, Qi Heng was defeated even faster.
Due to his negligence, Yang Mao hit him in the back with a spear, and there was a clicking sound in his ear. Qi Heng's burly body fell forward involuntarily. Looking behind him, although the spiritual armor was not smashed, it was still intact. Full of cracks. Before he could get up from the ground, generals Ye Tang and Gao Yu saw an opportunity and both urged their horses forward, slashing with their chakras.
If anyone else had suffered such a heavy blow from Yang Mao, they would have been seriously injured even if they did not die. However, Qi Heng stood up from the ground and parried with his sword, blocking the heavy blows from Ye Tang and Gao Yu. When the generals saw this, they couldn't help but secretly gasped. Is this still a human being? Why is it so powerful?
The generals' siege on Qi Heng became more fierce and fierce, and various spiritual soldiers besieged Qi Heng from all directions. Perhaps the critical situation also inspired Qi Heng's potential. The latter gritted his teeth and fought against fifteen wind generals with only his own strength, and could not be defeated.
Tang Yin, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, frowned. If this continues, he doesn't know how long the fight will last. He turned his head and looked up the mountain. The main force of the wind army had advanced halfway up the mountain, and the overwhelming array of arrows were shooting towards the top of the mountain like raindrops. He took a deep breath and shouted loudly to Qi Heng who was fighting hard: "Qi Heng, our army has almost reached the top of the mountain. Your brothers will soon be dead in the wilderness. You are the only one who can save them now!" "
These words made Qi Heng, who was in the center of the battle group, shocked. He waved his sword several times to push back the several wind generals in front of him. Then he raised his eyes and looked up the mountain. Wasn't it? There were wind troops all over the mountains and plains, densely packed. , can’t tell the number of them, Feng Jun’s arrow array is even more terrifying, every time it is launched, it seems like a dark cloud is rising, absorbing the soul.
At the moment when he was frightened, a wind general rushed up from each side, and two spiritual spears pierced his ribs from the left and right. By the time Qi Heng realized the danger, the tip of the spear was already in front of him. At the critical moment, he shouted loudly and hurriedly stepped back. The two spiritual spears almost passed by his belly.
He dodged the wind generals coming from the left and right, but did not notice Zhan Peng coming up from behind. By the time he realized something was wrong, it was already too late to dodge. There was a click sound, and Zhan Peng's knife was cutting on the top of his head. With a crisp sound, the spiritual armor on Qi Heng's head was cut off, and the spiritual armor on his head was also shattered with the sound.
Qi Heng staggered forward and took two steps forward. He used the nine-turn soul-breaking knife to support the ground. He gritted his teeth and did not fall down. Blood slowly flowed down his scalp. The generals didn't give him any time to catch his breath. Zhan Peng succeeded with his sword and urged his horse forward, rushing behind Qi Heng like lightning. The horse's double kicks severely crushed Qi Heng's back.
Bang! Qi Heng flew straight out like a cannonball, and the Nine-turn Soul-Severing Sword also flew away. After he landed, he was struggling to get up. All the wind generals had already stepped forward, with their spirit spears and spirit knives. They all fell on him and held him tightly.
"The bandit shall be punished! I'll take his head!" Ye Tang raised his spiritual knife high and aimed at Qi Heng's neck, intending to chop it down. At this moment, Tang Yin, who was watching the battle, suddenly shouted: "Don't kill him yet!"
Ye Tang did not put down the knife immediately, but turned around and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, this man is the bandit leader of the White-headed Army, what should he do?"
Tang Yin stepped forward and waved his hand at Ye Tang, signaling him to step back. No matter how unconvinced Ye Tang was, he did not dare to disobey the king's order. He was so angry that he stepped down from his stirrup, withdrew his spiritual sword, and turned his horse to the side.
Even though he was restrained, Qi Heng showed no fear on his face. I wonder if the blood from the top of his head flowed into his eyes. His eyes turned red, he glared at Tang Yin, and gritted his teeth and said, "I fell into the hands of you Feng Thieves." If you want to kill or cut into pieces, give it a good try!"
Tang Yin smiled, squatted down, approached Qi Heng, and said slowly: "If you die, who will save your brothers?"
Qi Heng took a breath and said: "I am the one who is against you, and it has nothing to do with my brothers. If you want to kill me, just kill me..." Tang Yin shrugged and said: "The disaster of bandits is the disaster of the people. The serious danger must be fully understood. As a bandit leader, you will naturally die, but your brother will not be exempted from guilt! "
Qi Heng's eyes were wide open and blood was about to drip from the corners of his eyes. He roared angrily and struggled to stand up and fight Tang Yin, but as soon as he moved, the spirit spears and swords on his body pressed down one after another, holding him down. He panted heavily and glared at Tang Yin for a long time, then said word by word: "In that case, why do you need to talk nonsense?!"
Tang Yin smiled slightly and said, "There is only one way to save you and your brother's lives."
"What?"
"Submit to our army." Tang Yin said: "As long as you are willing to submit to our army, you will naturally no longer be bandits, but brothers. In this way, you will be fine, and your brothers will not have to be beheaded in public."
Qi Heng did not answer immediately, but his fists clenched loudly, and it could be seen that he was also struggling in his heart.
Tang Yin was puzzled. It was much better to surrender to the army than to become a bandit. Moreover, Qi Heng had fought with the Mo army before and was not loyal to the Mo court. Is it so difficult to surrender to his own side?
He suppressed his smile and said seriously: "No matter how big a bandit becomes, they are still bandits after all. This is not a long-term solution. Qi Heng, if you don't think of a way out for yourself, you also have to think about a way out for your brothers. Don't you want to Will you watch them become bandits for the rest of their lives?" It can be felt that Qi Heng has a deep relationship with his bandits, and Tang Yin uses this to shake him.
Qi Heng snorted coldly and muttered: "It's better to be a bandit than to join the army..."
"Why do you say that?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.
Qi Heng also took the risk and said loudly: "I have joined the army before, but I was not reused in the army at all. Instead, I was bullied everywhere. Without nepotism and money, I will always be a pawn in the army! Rather than being humble and being manipulated by others, it is better to be a bandit freely!"
What he said was true. Qi Heng had indeed served in the army before, but he soon became a deserter. Mo Country is different from Feng Country. Mo Country has been stable for hundreds of years. Everything is on track. Just follow the steps. Each field has its own rules. As a civilian, it is difficult to get promoted in the military. , either you have connections, or you have money to help you, otherwise no matter how powerful you are, it will be useless if your superior officers don't recommend you. There is no doubt about Qi Heng's strength, but he has an upright temper and thinks very highly of himself. After joining the army, he did not take his mediocre superiors seriously at all and contradicted them everywhere. In this way, how could he be appreciated by his superiors? Not only It is understandable that he was not promoted and was bullied everywhere.
In Qi Heng's eyes, the relationship in the army is too complicated, and there are shady behind-the-scenes operations everywhere. These are the things he can't stand the most, so he is unwilling to return to the army even if he is killed. What's more, this army Still Feng Jun.
Tang Yin stared at him for a moment, grinned, and said: "I don't know what Mo Jun's situation is, but in Feng Jun, we don't rely on nepotism and money to smooth things over. Merits will be rewarded, and demerits will be punished. Punishment will be given to those who are capable, and those who are mediocre, to the bottom. If you join our army, with your ability, I will ensure that you rise higher and higher!"
Qi Heng frowned and pondered for a while, then said, "Who can't talk too much?!"
Tang Yin looked up and smiled and said: "Whether this king is boasting or not, you will know if you try it."
Qi Heng lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Tang Yin knew he was thinking about it, but he didn't want to give him too much time to hesitate. He turned to look at the hillside and said, "Qi Heng, you don't have much time left. You will regret it when our army attacks the mountain."
Qi Heng's heart was shaken and he asked urgently: "If I surrender to you, will you let my brother go?"
"Can!"
"Can they continue to be my subordinates?"
"Okay!" Tang Yin agreed simply.
Qi Heng gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! From now on, I, Qi Heng, am willing to serve in the Feng Army!"
Hearing this, Tang Yin was overjoyed and turned around and said: "Send the order and withdraw the troops with gold!"
"Your Majesty..." All the generals looked confused and stopped talking. Qi Heng is a bandit, but the most important thing is that he is a Mo Ren. Is it too hasty to incorporate him into our own army so easily?
When Tang Yin saw that all the generals were staying where they were, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What? Didn't you hear my order? Call for gold and withdraw your troops immediately!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" The generals had no choice but to follow Tang Yin's order and ring gold at the foot of the mountain to recall their own army that had advanced halfway up the mountain.
Tang Yin personally led the main force of the direct army to encircle and suppress the Baitou Army. The two sides did not engage in large-scale fighting, and finally ended with Qi Heng's submission.
The Baitou Army has a total of about three thousand people, which is considered a large-scale bandit. As Qi Heng defected to the Feng Army, none of these people left, and they also joined the Feng Army.
Because Qi Heng was only a bandit leader, not a general, and had not yet achieved any success, Tang Yin could not immediately give him a high-level position and temporarily appointed him as a captain of thousands. His bandit brothers were still under his command and dispatch. Although he is only a commander of a thousand, he has more than 3,000 people under his command, making him an outlier among the Feng Army.
