Volume 10 Chapter 314
Chapter 314
Tang Yin personally walked through the waterway provided by Pang Li. Although the environment was a bit harsh, it was indeed safe. The place coming out of the palace was also very remote, especially late at night. The patrolling palace guards rarely came over.
After careful observation, Tang Yin knew what was going on, and then returned to the garbage room with Pang Li, Cheng Jin and others. Now that he had to go back through the water channel again, Tang Yin felt anxious for a while. Finally, he changed his mind and forced himself to go back through the water channel and return the way he came.
The distance from the moat to the palace was not short, and crawling in the small space inside was very difficult, so the delay was naturally very long.
When Tang Yin and others climbed more than halfway, it was already dawn. At this time, many maids in the palace had gotten up, and buckets of garbage and excrement began to pour into the waterway.
The sewage mixed with garbage, rotten vegetables, feces and urine surged from behind them. Although Tang Yin and others had scarves to cover their noses and spiritual armor to protect their bodies, they were still so disgusted that they retched again and again.
In the end, Tang Yin and others crawled out of the waterway with red eyes and dived back into the moat.
After entering the moat, Tang Yin did not surface immediately. He kept holding his breath and sank to the bottom of the river. He stayed as long as possible to wash away the filth from his body.
It wasn't until all the oxygen in his body was exhausted and reached its limit that he quickly surfaced.
At this time, the sky was already bright. Fortunately, the garrison on the city wall was taking over, which gave Tang Yin and others a chance to escape from the moat.
Tang Yin, Cheng Jin, and the Secret Arrow personnel spotted the shadow under the house not far away and used Shadow Drift to dodge past. Pang Li repeated her old trick, continued to use an earthy yellow cloak as a disguise, and slowly crawled away from the open space beside the moat. zone.
After Tang Yin returned to the coalition camp, he immediately summoned all the generals and began to lay out an attack plan. With this personal experience, Tang Yin became more confident about how to break the city. After all the generals arrived, he straight to the point explained the water channel.
When the generals heard this, they were all surprised and happy, while the Zhenjun generals were extremely surprised. The water channel where garbage is dumped in the palace can be used as a secret passage into the city. It is really incredible. I wonder who came up with such a weird idea.
The two kings Yueze and Li Xin were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths. With such a waterway, their own army could appear in the palace of King Zhen at any time without anyone noticing. Wouldn't it be a piece of cake to conquer Xitang? ?
Li Xin stood up excitedly, looked around at the generals, and said loudly: "The guards in King Zhen's palace only have 10,000 people at best. As long as we pass through the secret passage and sneak in 20,000 to 30,000 people, we will be able to control the palace and capture them." Li Hong!”
"What His Highness King Huan said makes sense!" All the generals nodded in agreement.
Tang Yin shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Brother Li Wang, I haven't finished speaking yet. Although the secret passage is hidden and difficult to be noticed, it is very narrow. In addition, the space at the exit is not large. I estimate that through We can only sneak into the secret passage a hundred people at most!"
"Ah?" Hearing this, Li Xin was dumbfounded and murmured dumbfounded: "Only a hundred people can be infiltrated?"
"That's right!" Tang Yin said sternly: "Even if you infiltrate a hundred people, you still have to try your luck. If you are encountered or noticed midway, you will have to be exposed in advance."
Li Xin was mostly discouraged, spread his hands and said: "You can only sneak into a hundred people, what else can you do..."
Tang Yin looked up and smiled and said: "If these hundred people are all outstanding spiritual cultivators in our army, it will be a big deal. Of course, this will require the cooperation of all the soldiers in the army."
Lingshuang followed Tang Yin's words and asked, "Brother Wang, do you have any good ideas?"
Tang Yin said leisurely: "On the surface, our army is going to attack Xitang with all its strength and besieged on all sides to attract the attention of the defenders in the city. Secretly, I, the king, will personally lead hundreds of our army's soldiers to sneak into the palace and go directly to capture him. Kill Li Hong!"
The expressions of everyone present changed. Lingshuang thought about it carefully and whispered: "Brother Wang, is the risk too great for doing this?"
Tang Yin said confidently: "As long as the defenders cannot come out to reinforce the palace, the more than 10,000 guards in the palace will definitely not be able to stop the hundreds of soldiers led by me personally."
After finishing speaking, he didn't give Lingshuang a chance to say more. He straightened his waist, looked at the generals below, and asked: "As a general, who is willing to enter the palace with me, capture the traitor Li Hong, and establish this A miracle?"
The generals looked at each other, no one dared to express their position immediately. The palace is an important place, and you don't need to ask to know that the guards inside are all outstanding elites. If the number of our own is equal to that, there is still the possibility of a battle, but if there are only a hundred people to fight against tens of thousands of palace guards, it is probably a disaster. Just as the generals were holding a wait-and-see attitude, someone shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the general is willing to go!"
The first person to stand up and express his position was none other than Shangguan Yuanrang. As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Fan stepped forward, raised his hands and said, "The general is also willing to follow the king!"
As the two of them took the initiative to ask for help, generals came forward one after another, expressing their willingness to sneak into the palace with Tang Yin.
The Feng Army signed up enthusiastically, and there was an endless stream of people applying to fight. The high momentum immediately infected the other four armies. The generals of the Yu, An, Huan, and Zhen armies also stood up one after another and expressed their willingness to accompany Tang Yin to fight.
Seeing the example of the generals, Tang Yin nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "I am very pleased that the fighting spirit of the generals is so high. However, all the generals in the army cannot follow me to fight, and some of them must be left behind. Leading the brothers to fight outside the city." At this point, he paused, rolled his eyes, raised his head and said: "Feng Jun, generals Yuan Rang and Jiang Fan can accompany me; Yu Jun, Shi Xiao, The two generals Tang Ling can go; the two generals Xu Wen and Xu Wu of the An army can go; the two generals Huang Mian and Zhang Gui of the Huan army can go; and the two generals Gu Ji and Yang Xuan of the Zhen army can go. "
He called the names very quickly, and in one breath, he selected ten generals from among the five armies. Needless to say, these ten military generals, Shangguan Yuanrang and Jiang Fan, the other eight generals are also fierce generals in each army, each of them has a fiery and pure spiritual martial arts cultivation.
After he finished calling the names of the ten generals, he pretended to ask the three kings Lingshuang, Yueze and Li Xin for their opinions.
Although this operation is extremely dangerous, Tang Yin, as the Wind King, is willing to go there in person. Now he just wants to borrow a few generals from them, and the three of them have the nerve to refuse.
The three kings nodded in agreement without even thinking about it. Afterwards, the computer visited Tang Yin and began to arrange the attack targets of each army.
The task of the allied forces outside the city is to firmly attract the defenders up and down the city wall. Naturally, it cannot be a feint attack, but a real attack. If the entire army is mixed together and attacks the city in a swarm, they may not be able to exert much of their combat effectiveness. Tang Yin will have to disperse them. Open and let each army attack different targets.
Under his arrangement, the Yu army attacked the north city of Xitang, the An army attacked the south city of Xitang, the Huan army attacked the west city of Xitang, and the Zhen army attacked the east city of Xitang. As for the Feng army, as the backup force of the entire army, where would the attack start? If it's unfavorable, go for reinforcements.
Lingshuang, Yueze, and Li Xin all had no objections to his arrangement. This battle was likely to be the last battle of the coalition's campaign against Zhen. The three kings also intended to take this last opportunity to show off their country's military prowess. force.
Tang Yin arranged his troops very quickly, and in just a few words, he finalized the plan.
Seeing that he had come to an end, Yue Ze said: "Brother Wang wants to lead a hundred people to sneak into the palace of King Zhen. Now we have only selected ten strong generals, and there are still ninety people missing. I wonder what Brother Wang plans? If there is a need for brother Place, just ask!”
"Yes!" Li Xin continued: "Brother Wang, just go and pick out the officers and men of my Huan Army. If you find someone you like, just take them away."
Tang Yin smiled and cupped his hands to the two of them, and said: "Thank you two brothers for your kindness. However, I have already chosen the remaining ninety people, so you two brothers don't need to worry anymore."
Most of the candidates he mentioned were secret assassins, and the other ones were his personal guards.
Fighting deep into the enemy's hinterland and outnumbered, Tang Yin did not dare to be careless. Even if the An and Huan armies were willing to provide elite dead soldiers, he would not rest assured. The only one he could truly trust was his own side. people.
There was nothing to say that day. Pigs and sheep were slaughtered in the coalition camp. The soldiers had a good meal and a day's rest. The next day, the drums of the civil war in the coalition camp were loud and the horns were blaring. One after another regiments came out of the coalition camp. Outside Xitang City, battle formations were arranged in the four directions of southeast, northwest, and opened up to attack at any time.
The actions of the coalition forces immediately aroused vigilance in Xitang City. The defenders of the four cities all entered a state of combat readiness. On top of the city wall, under the forest of armored soldiers, and under the city wall, the defenders were densely deployed, with their swords unsheathed and arrows cocked, as if they were facing a huge enemy. enemy.
At midnight, around eight o'clock in the morning, the coalition forces blew the clarion call to attack.
Due to the limitations of the outer city of Xitang, the coalition's advance was unable to form a neat battle formation. The overwhelming number of soldiers were like ants walking through the streets and alleys, rushing forward quickly.
The coalition forces could not form a neat battle formation, but the messy houses also provided them with a large number of bunkers, allowing them to minimize the damage from the defenders' arrows as they advanced.
When the coalition forces advance to the open area twenty meters in front of the moat, this is the real beginning of the bloody battle between the two sides. If the coalition forces want to advance further, they will have to pay the price in blood.
For a moment, arrows rained down from the top of the city. The number and density of the arrows were like a plague of locusts. Black curtains opened up in the air and fell all over the sky.
The sound of arrows was heard everywhere in the coalition camp, and countless soldiers were shot to the ground during the advance. Some people gritted their teeth and stood up with arrow wounds and continued to move forward, while some people never stood up again.
The short distance of twenty meters was covered with the corpses of allied soldiers in an instant. People stepped on the corpses of the fallen soldiers and continued to move forward.
