Shangguan Yuanrang's arrival virtually increased the strength of the Hengcheng defenders.TXT download.

Originally, he wanted to go out of the city to meet the enemy the next day, but instead of waiting for the enemy, the barbarians began to pack their luggage and tents and prepare to withdraw.

Of course, the barbarians wanted to withdraw not because they were scared off by Shangguan Yuanrang, but because they received the order from Wang Ting.

Tang Yin led his troops to sneak attack on the city of Besa. The battle was a great success. Not only did he enter the palace in one fell swoop, he almost killed King Besa. King Besa was deeply afraid of Tang Yin. The more he thought about it, the more he became afraid. To retreat, he found a herald and gave an order to Kenis, who was in charge of the army. The entire army retreated immediately and no longer fought with the Feng army.

That was a few days ago. Five days had passed since the herald sent his order to the barbarian army camp in Pingyuan County. The barbarian army and the Pingyuan army also fought fiercely several times here in Hengcheng. At this time, Kenis was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to fight or retreat. When he saw the king's order, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He just got off the donkey and obeyed the king's will and ordered the entire army to retreat.

Seeing that the barbarian army had withdrawn, the defenders of Hengcheng were naturally overjoyed and immediately brought the news into the city.

After hearing the news, people came out of their homes and poured into the streets. The atmosphere was as jubilant as a festival.

Shangguan Yuanrang thought that he could still show off his skills today, but he didn't expect that the barbarian soldiers retreated before he went out to fight. He was greatly disappointed. He immediately wanted to go out to chase the retreating barbarian soldiers, but was stopped by Shangguan Yuanji, Xiao Muqing and others. Since the troops were withdrawn, they were withdrawn. Hengcheng could no longer withstand the tossing. Everyone was sensible and moved to give advice, and this was how Shangguan Yuanrang was brought back.

The barbarian army retreated, and the tension was relieved. The soldiers of the Pingyuan Army suddenly fell to pieces. As soon as they heard the news of the barbarian army's retreat, many vigorous soldiers fell to the ground as if their strength had been sucked dry. They could not stand up. There is not a muscle in my body that is not sore. It is a miracle that I can persist through the fierce battle for five days.

The barbarian army left. When the Pingyuan army went to clean up the barbarian camp outside the city, they found Zhang Zhou's broken helmet. As for the corpse and armor, they had nowhere to find them. In addition, a large number of Pingyuan army corpses were also found. That was Zhang Zhou's. Of the five thousand soldiers under his command, none of them survived, and many of the corpses were mutilated. The Pingyuan soldiers collected the corpses one by one with blood and tears.

In this battle at Hengcheng, the Pingyuan Army's direct attrition amounted to 30,000 people. One regiment commander was killed and ten thousand captains were killed. Even if they withstood the barbarian attack, it could only be regarded as a tragic victory.

The next day, Tang Yin, who had been on an expedition to the capital of Besa, also led his troops back to Hengcheng safely. After a long journey, Tang Yin and his troops found that their military appearance was even worse than that of the defenders of Hengcheng. Many of the soldiers had lost their armor and were wearing animal skins along the way. There was nowhere to bathe. People's bodies and faces were black, white, and red. Dust, sweat, and blood mixed together to form big painted faces.

They looked more like barbarians than barbarians. When the sentry in Hengcheng saw them, they were really frightened. They thought the barbarians had killed them and returned with carbine.

Tang Yin did not directly participate in the defense of Hengcheng this time, but his strategy of sneak attack on the enemy's capital worked wonders and had a far-reaching impact. It also directly scared off the barbarian army. At this time, he returned in triumph and was naturally warmly welcomed by the people of Hengcheng. Before a group of cavalry could enter the city, the people spontaneously rushed outside the city to welcome them.

Seeing that nothing happened in Hengcheng, Tang Yin, who was worried all the way, also let out a sigh of relief. What he was most afraid of was that if he succeeded in the sneak attack and Hengcheng failed to defend, then all his efforts would be in vain.

"Sir! Congratulations, sir, on your triumphant return!"

At this time, the Pingyuan Army generals and Hengcheng officials headed by Qiu Zhen, Shangguan Yuanji, and Xiao Muqing also came out to welcome Tang Yin. When they saw Tang Yin, they all bowed and saluted. After saying hello, Xiao Muqing took another step forward, bowed to the ground, and said excitedly: "Sir, my subordinates have fulfilled their mission and protected Hengcheng."

Tang Yin looked down at Xiao Muqing on the horse and smiled leisurely. What Xiao Muqing said was to remind him not to forget his original promise to give him the position of commander-in-chief of the Pingyuan Army. Tang Yin didn't feel uncomfortable, but he liked Xiao Muqing's straightforwardness. He liked people who just went for it when they wanted something.

He nodded and said with a smile: "General Xiao, thank you for your hard work."

Xiao Muqing was overjoyed when he heard that Tang Yin did not call him Xiao Shenjun, and said repeatedly: "I will be loyal to you, serve you, and my subordinates are not afraid of hard work."

The surrounding Pingyuan Army officers were a little dumbfounded when they saw this. In front of Tang Yin, Xiao Muqing could be said to be as flattering as possible. He was such a small person, how could he still have the style of a general who was calm in the face of danger on the battlefield and took the lead? From front to back, they are completely different.

In fact, this is easy to understand. A commander who performs well on the battlefield may not be a gentleman in private.

Everyone likes to hear nice words, and Tang Yin was no exception. He laughed loudly on the horse.

At this time, a cold snort suddenly came from the crowd. Tang Yin was stunned, stopped laughing, and looked for fame. He saw a dark and proud young man of medium height standing behind Shangguan Yuanji. No one else was carrying weapons, only He was holding a three-pointed, two-edged knife in his hand, standing in the crowd, squinting at himself.

Before Tang Yin could ask, the two Shangguan brothers behind him exclaimed: "Second brother!" Following the words, the two brothers dismounted and ran towards the black-faced young man.

Second brother? There was only one person who could be called the second brother by Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao, and that was the second oldest brother in the Shangguan family. Shangguan Yuan gave in.

Could this person be Shangguan Yuanrang?

Tang Yin was no stranger to Shangguan Yuanrang's name. He had heard it mentioned more than once. The two Shangguan brothers often told him how powerful their second brother was. Even if the two brothers were tied together, they could not compare to his second brother. A finger and other compliments.

Seeing that the two brothers returned safely, Shangguan Yuanrang was naturally very happy. He hugged the two brothers respectively, and then asked: "Did you really follow Tang Yin to attack the capital of the barbarian state?"

"Yes!" The two Shangguan brothers nodded in unison and said in unison: "We all rushed into the barbarian palace and robbed a lot of good things!" The two brothers opened their armor like offering treasures and presented to Shangguan. Yuan Rang and the people around him showed off the gold, silver, jewelry and other trophies they had captured.

The capital of Barbarian State was really invaded by Tang Yin! Shangguan Yuanrang couldn't help but look at Tang Yin with admiration.

He was sizing up Tang Yin, and Tang Yin was also sizing him up. Their eyes collided in the air, and immediately flashed with fire.

The same young and promising people, the same aloof character, there can only be two kinds of relationship between the two of them, either strong enemies or close friends.

Xiao Muqing felt that the two people were unusual, and hurriedly stood up to smooth things over. He smiled at Tang Yin and said, "Sir, this is Lord Shangguan's second brother, Shangguan Yuan Rang!" Then he said to Shangguan Yuan Rang: "This is Tang Yin. Master Tang!"

"Oh!" Shangguan Yuanrang nodded, raised his head high, and said to Tang Yin provocatively: "I have heard about you for a long time. I have always heard that you are brave and good at fighting. I wonder if you dare to fight with me next time?"

flutter! Shangguan Yuanji and everyone around him almost vomited blood after hearing this. They couldn't figure out what was going on in Shangguan Yuanrang's mind. Why did they challenge Tang Yin as soon as they saw him?

"Sir..." Worried that Tang Yin would blame his brother, Shangguan Yuanji hurriedly took two steps forward, bowed deeply to Tang Yin, and said: "My brother is used to wandering around and doesn't understand the rules. I hope you won't take offense..."

Tang Yin smiled at Shangguan Yuanji, and then looked at Shangguan Yuanrang. He sat upright on his horse without moving, and he was smiling so that it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. He asked leisurely: "Why do you ask me Challenge? How many enemies can you take on on the battlefield?"

Shangguan Yuanrang said with a smile: "Am I brave enough to be invincible by ten thousand people?"

"So what? The world is so big and there are so many people. No matter how powerful you are, can you still defeat everyone? The courage of an ordinary man can only conquer one place, but he cannot conquer the world!"

The courage of an ordinary man? This was the first time that Shangguan Yuanrang was said like this. He raised his eyebrows angrily and asked, "What about you?"

"I can!" Tang Yin's eyes flashed and he said word by word: "If I want to do this."

The sudden ray of light from Tang Yin's eyes also shocked Shangguan Yuanrang's body, and he was slightly startled. After a moment of pause, he snorted and said, "Who doesn't know how to talk?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Tang Yin suppressed the glare in his eyes and said with a smile: "If you think I am just talking, then stay with me and see if I can do this."

"Okay!" Shangguan Yuanrang blurted out without thinking. But as soon as the words came out, he realized that he had been fooled. This Tang Yin was too cunning. He used his words to get around him and stay by his side. , wouldn’t that be tantamount to surrendering to him? His eyes were wide open, angry and annoyed, he pointed at Tang Yin and shouted: "You..."

Before he could say anything, Tang Yin had already said: "As a gentleman, it's hard to chase a horse, so we've settled on this!" After saying this, he ignored Shangguan Yuanrang's reaction, waved his hands to the people in front, and urged The horse entered the city and walked past Shangguan Yuanrang in a swaggering manner.

What do you mean it's settled like this? What did you promise him? Shangguan Yuanrang turned around angrily and looked at Tang Yin's back on the horse. He was about to shout when he was stopped by Shangguan Yuanji. The latter said earnestly: "Yuan Rang, integrity is the most important thing in life. Don't go back on your word. Although you are young, you are capable. He is outstanding and has great ambitions, and his future will be bright.”

He did not persuade Shangguan Yuanrang to join Tang Yin, but he felt that with his temper, it would not end well if he had a quarrel with Tang Yin, so it was better to stabilize his brother for the time being. As for whether his brother really wanted to work for Tang Yin in the future, those It's all secondary.

After hearing what his eldest brother said, Shangguan Yuanrang seemed to be deflated. He swallowed the words that came to his lips and shook his head helplessly.

When he met Tang Yin for the first time, Shangguan Yuanrang was deeply impressed by Tang Yin's cunning or quick reaction.
