Chapter 341

After hearing Tang Yin's self-introduction, the Peng soldiers' faces changed drastically. They subconsciously stepped back a few steps, looked at each other, and ran up the mountain at the same time.

Looking at the backs of the Peng soldiers running fast, Tang Yin shook his head and laughed. He was not a tiger, so why did they all run away after hearing his name? !

He was not a tiger, but in the eyes of the Peng soldiers, Tang Yin was much more terrifying than a tiger.

Several Peng soldiers ran back to the camp on the top of the mountain in one breath and hurriedly reported to Ziying.

When Ziying heard that Tang Yin was coming, he was also stunned. He didn't expect Tang Yin to value him so much that he came to surrender in person. The other generals in the central army tent were surprised and satisfied that Tang Yin could come in person, and nodded secretly. Ziying stood up and asked while tidying up his armor: "How many soldiers did Tang Yin bring?"

"This..." Several Peng soldiers did not answer immediately.

Seeing this, Ziying frowned and asked again: "How many soldiers did you bring?"

"Oh... General! The other side... The other side has less than 20 people in total..."

"What?" After hearing this, not to mention Ziying's shock, even the generals in the camp were a little overwhelmed. Tang Yin dared to come up the mountain to surrender with only a dozen people? Is he crazy or stupid, or maybe he is too brave?

"This... Did you hear it wrong? Is the person coming really Tang Yin?" A general asked in disbelief.

Several soldiers nodded repeatedly and replied: "That's right! Absolutely not wrong! The other side really claimed to be Tang Yin, and indeed only brought a dozen people up the mountain, and the 'old friend' that the general met this morning was also among them." The soldiers didn't know Jiang Lu's exact identity, and really thought he was Ziying's old friend.

Jiang Lu also came back, from this point of view, the other side's identity should be true. Ziying was very surprised that Tang Yin could come in person to surrender, but he also admired Tang Yin's courage and spirit from the bottom of his heart. He took a deep breath, picked up the seal on the table, and said to the people around him: "Let's go meet this long-awaited Tang Yin, Lord Tang!"

"Yes! General!"

The generals followed Ziying out of the central army tent and went straight to the outside of the camp. Tang Yin only brought a dozen people, but Ziying and others led tens of thousands of Peng soldiers out of the camp.

Tang Yin and others who were standing halfway up the mountain saw the dense Peng army pouring out of the camp on the top of the mountain, and everyone's heart tightened. Wu Guang leaned close to Tang Yin and whispered: "Sir, the situation is a bit wrong, should we retreat first..."

Before he finished speaking, Tang Yin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Since we are here, we should make the best of it. If the other party really wanted to harm us, they would not have sent out their troops first." The most powerful weapons of the Peng army on the top of the mountain are battering rams and pounding stones. If they really want to kill Tang Yin, they must first release these two things, and then send a large number of soldiers to encircle and suppress him.

Wu Guang thought about it carefully, and what Tang Yin said made sense, but he didn't dare to take it lightly. He raised his palm and pressed it on the sword at his waist, and turned his head to signal Zhan Hu, Shangguan brothers and others with his eyes, asking them to prepare for the battle. After Wu Guang's reminder, Shangguan brothers immediately stood on the left and right sides of Tang Yin to protect him, while Zhan Hu, holding a sledgehammer, rushed to the side of Tang Yin and blocked him like a door god.

Not long after, Ziying led the crowd to the halfway point of the mountain. Looking forward, there were more than a dozen people standing alone in front of him, and Jiang Lu was among them. Looking at the others, there were several sturdy men wearing generals' armor. In the middle of the crowd stood a young man in brocade clothes, with handsome features, handsome appearance, a natural smile, and a raised corner of his mouth. Standing there, he looked calm, and it didn't feel like he was here to surrender, but more like he was here to travel.

However, Ziying did not ignore the evil spirit that came from the young man's bones.

Could this person be the commander of the Tianyuan Army, Tang Yin? Thinking of this, Ziying hurried forward a few steps. When he was five or six meters away from Tang Yin, he stopped and stared at Tang Yin for a moment. Then, he lifted up his battle robe and armor, knelt on one knee, raised the seal in his hand to his head, and said: "I am the surrendered general Ziying, I pay my respects to Lord Tang!"

When Ziying was looking at Tang Yin, Tang Yin was also looking at him. Originally, Tang Yin thought that Ziying was so good at using troops, he must be a cunning old general. Who knew that Ziying was only in his thirties. Although he could not be called handsome, he was also rough and bold, and people felt a strong masculine aura.

While Ziying was kneeling, Tang Yin had already passed Zhanhu and walked up to him with big strides. He did not take the seal in his hand, but first held Ziying's arms with both hands and helped him up, and said with a smile: "General Ziying is too polite, please stand up quickly!"

Unexpectedly, Tang Yin, who was rumored to be extremely cruel and cunning, was so polite. Ziying was a little stunned. After standing up, he met Tang Yin's eyes and was speechless.

Tang Yin smiled and said: "On the battlefield, you and I were enemies, but now that General Ziying has surrendered, you and I are brothers in arms. Brothers naturally don't need to be polite."

Ziying was very moved by his words. He said with a trembling voice: "Your magnanimity makes me admire you. I am just a surrendered general and a guilty general. I really can't bear your courtesy! And..."

Ziying only surrendered to the Tianyuan Army and became a prisoner of the Tianyuan Army, but he never said that he would submit to the Tianyuan Army. He was about to explain this matter clearly, but Tang Yin had already laughed and shook his hand, saying: "In my opinion, General Ziying is not a surrendered general, nor a guilty general, but a wise general who can put the overall situation and the people of Feng Country first, and is also a good general who is good at managing the army and good at fighting. General Ziying is willing to join our Tianyuan Army, which will undoubtedly make our army more powerful. It is just around the corner to eliminate the traitors and recover Dafeng!"

Tang Yin has seen Ziying's ability and admires his talent very much. Now that Ziying has surrendered, how can Tang Yin miss such an opportunity? Naturally, he will take him under his command. If he can successfully recruit Ziying, then he will have another general who is good at fighting.

Listening to Tang Yin's praise, Ziying couldn't help blushing and looked a little overwhelmed. Moreover, Tang Yin said that his surrender was a surrender. The difference of one word made a huge difference. This also made him feel amused.

Tang Yin looked at him with a smile, and his eyes gradually fell to the general seal in Ziying's hand. The general seal is the military token. With the general seal, Ziying is the commander of the whole army. If he handed over the general seal, it would be equivalent to handing over the command of the whole army. At this time, Tang Yin was considering whether he should accept the general seal.

The Peng troops under Ziying had very poor combat effectiveness, and they couldn't even use bows and arrows. Accepting these people would definitely be a burden to his army, but if he didn't accept them and sent them all away, it would seem that he was too unkind. After thinking about it, Tang Yin's eyes lit up. As the saying goes, trust a man if you employ him, and don't employ him if you don't trust him. Since he wanted to win over Ziying, he might as well do it quickly and not give up his military power. He would let him continue to be the commander of these tens of thousands of Peng soldiers. It is estimated that there will not be many people left in the end, and they will not pose a threat to him.

After thinking about it, Tang Yin pushed the seal in Ziying's hand into his arms and said, "General Ziying, you should take back this seal!"

Ah? Ziying was stunned. He didn't understand what Tang Yin meant. Didn't he intend to accept his surrender? Ziying's brows immediately frowned.

Tang Yin said, "Since General Ziying has led his army to surrender, these soldiers should naturally be under the command of General Ziying."

Oh! After hearing this, Ziying and his trusted followers took a deep breath. They surrendered to Tang Yin, but Tang Yin did not deprive them of any of his soldiers. How much trust does this require? In the eyes of everyone, this was too incredible.

"Are you joking, sir?!" Even if Tang Yin had a broad mind, he could not do this. Ziying looked at Tang Yin in disbelief and asked suspiciously.

Tang Yin smiled and said, "There is no joking in the army. Besides, as the commander of the entire army, how can I take it lightly?"

Ziying was stunned for a while, and hurriedly handed the seal in his hand to Tang Yin again, saying seriously, "I am very grateful for your trust in me, but I have not yet..."

I have not yet planned to surrender to you. However, Ziying didn't finish the second half of his sentence, and was interrupted by Tang Yin again. The latter restrained his smile and said faintly: "Now the country is in danger. I don't know how many people have been implicated in the war and died. Does General Ziying really care about the lives of the people of Dafeng? Does General Ziying really want to stand idly by at the critical moment of the country's survival?"

These two questions made Ziying speechless. Tang Yin pushed the seal back to Ziying again and said: "I believe that General Ziying will never be such a person, so you have to take back the seal, fight side by side with me, and contribute to Dafeng and the people of Fengguo, and do our duty as Fengren and Fengchen!"

"Ah!" Ziying sighed and felt ashamed in his heart. He was much older than Tang Yin and had always been proud of his loyalty, but compared with Tang Yin, it was like a world of difference. He was only loyal to one person, which was just a small loyalty, but Tang Yin was loyal to the country and the people, which was a great loyalty. The two could not be compared.

If he was just surprised by Tang Yin's series of unexpected actions just now, now he was convinced by Tang Yin.

Ziying was no longer modest. He carefully put the seal into his armor, then adjusted his armor, lifted his battle robe, and knelt on one knee again in front of Tang Yin, and said word by word: "Ziying, the last general, is willing to hold the whip and stirrup for you, and serve you like a dog and a horse!"

His subordinates and Peng soldiers also knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "We are willing to serve you like a dog and a horse!"

Seeing this, Tang Yin was overjoyed and hurriedly reached out to help Ziying up. At the same time, he waved to others and said: "No need to be polite, please get up quickly!"
