Chapter 748
I don’t know how long it took, but it was long enough for Guan Tang to think that the king wanted him to kneel down and die here. At this time, Tang Yin's cold voice came from above his head: "Thousands of people were killed and injured, but not even a shadow of the enemy was seen. How did you become the commander-in-chief? I ordered you to lead the battle because I asked you to kill the enemy. , I didn’t let you be killed by the enemy! Idiot!”
Tang Yin cursed, and Guan Tang lowered his head a little. By the end of the curse, Guan Tang's forehead was almost touching the ground.
"Get out of here!" Tang Yin shouted angrily. Seeing Guantang slowly stand up from the ground, he simply picked up his collar, pulled him up directly, and said: "You should tell me how the enemy can kill thousands of you without revealing his traces." Subordinates!"
Guantang took a deep breath and recounted the battle from beginning to end.
After hearing what he said, Tang Yin did not express his position immediately. He turned around with his hands behind his back and looked at the surrounding battlefield. Indeed, the battlefield was full of horse pits and traps. During the battle, even though he knew there were traps ahead, he still ordered the infantry to rush forward. It's not wrong to go up. Every minute and second on the battlefield is precious. If you send people to explore where there are traps and pitfalls first, it will undoubtedly delay the fighter's opportunity.
After looking at it, he withdrew his gaze, pushed Guantang away in front of him, and strode to the ditch.
Without pausing for a moment, Tang Yin jumped in directly. Guantang was startled and jumped closer, saying worriedly: "Your Majesty, be careful..."
Tang Yin ignored him, paused, looked at the round hole in the earth wall, picked up a few broken tiles and looked at it, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
The enemy's trap was so clever that it no longer looked like a method thought up by a general.
Throwing away the tiles in his hand, Tang Yin stood up, looked back at Guantang, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. Guan Tang was very unlucky. He commanded the army alone twice. Once he ran into an ambush by Changsun Yuanhong, and the entire army was wiped out. He almost lost his life. This time he ran into a group of Ning troops who were led by an unknown person. Even suffered big losses.
It is really rare for a person's luck to reach this level. At this time, Tang Yin had begun to think about replacing a new commander for the new army. It was not that Guan Tang was not capable enough, but that this man had bad luck. After all, whether he could become an excellent commander or not, luck was also one of the main factors.
He didn't say much, just said lightly: "Take me to see the tunnel."
"Your Majesty, there is an ambush of Ning's army there..."
"Stop talking nonsense! Lead the way from the front!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Guan Tang didn't dare to say any more and took Tang Yin to the entrance of the tunnel.
Seeing the king coming, the wind troops who gathered outside the tunnel entrance as if they were facing a formidable enemy retreated. Tang Yin walked to the tunnel entrance and looked inside with squinted eyes. Although he had night eyes, the tunnel was bottomless. , he could only see clearly the outside part, and he couldn't see clearly inside.
Tang Yin pondered for a moment, and then said to the Shangguan brothers and Ah San and Ah Si beside him: "You stay here and wait for me, I will go in and take a look!"
Not knowing what kind of enemies were hidden inside and how many there were, how could the Shangguan brothers, Ah San and Ah Si trust Tang Yin to go into danger alone. The four people said in unison: "Your Majesty, this is inappropriate!"
"It doesn't matter, I'll go in and take a look and come out!" After saying that, without giving the four people a chance to argue, Tang Yin said to Guan Tang again: "General Guan, since there is an ambush in this tunnel, why do you have to persist here? , you immediately give the order to attack the town from the front, and use fire as the main attack. No matter how clever the enemy's traps are, they can't withstand the fire!"
With one sentence to wake up the dreamer, Guan Tang patted his head and hurriedly handed over his hand. Then, he asked worriedly: "The king wants to enter the tunnel alone?"
"What? You want to accompany me?"
Guantang shrank his neck and said bravely: "I am willing to follow the king..."
"Hmph! You are willing to follow me, but I don't want to bring you as a burden! Let me lead the army to kill the enemy, and you don't have to worry about it here!"
Guan Tang's face turned red after being scolded by Tang Yin, and he bowed and retreated.
Tang Yin then told the Shangguan brothers, Asan and Asi to stay outside and not to enter easily, and then got into the tunnel.
As soon as he entered and didn't go far, Tang Yin covered the spirit armor. He didn't find the enemy, but the ground was filled with arrows. If he didn't cover the spirit armor, his feet would probably be pierced. It seems that Ning Ren has a habit of shooting arrows. No matter whether he sees the enemy or not, he will shoot all the arrows on his body first. Tang Yin shook his head and smiled.
As he went deeper and deeper, the light in the tunnel became darker and darker, and gradually turned into pitch black. Fortunately, he has night eyes, so he can see even in dark and lightless places. After walking for a while, he found that the ground was covered with stones and broken tiles, which made crackling sounds when he stepped on them.
He was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what was going on. In such a dark tunnel, he could not see the enemy, and the enemy would naturally not be able to reach him. The ground was paved with stones and tiles to identify his position by listening to the sound. . After thinking about this clearly, Tang Yin took a deep breath, the enemy was so clever! No wonder Guantang will suffer a loss, the enemies of Guxue Town really cannot be underestimated.
Continuing to walk deeper, after a while, Feng Jun's corpses began to appear on the ground. At first, there were only a few scattered corpses, but the further he walked, the more corpses he found. Gradually, Tang Yin could no longer find a place to stay. If you arrive, you can only move forward by stepping on the corpse.
When he reached the area with the most corpses, he stopped and looked among the corpses.
Tang Yin was surprisingly brave. In the pitch-black narrow space, he turned over hundreds of grimacing corpses without any fear and looked calm.
But to his disappointment, the corpses were all from the Feng Army, and none of them were from the Ning Army. From this point of view, the two sides had not fought at close range at all...
The facts also proved this point. Looking closely, most of the fatal injuries on the Feng Army corpses were caused by arrows. Tang Yin pulled out an arrow casually and saw that it was a crossbow arrow, but it was different from the crossbow arrows used by his own side. This crossbow arrow was thinner and longer, and was made very well. Each one was wrapped in steel on the outside and made of wood on the inside.
Tang Yin would never believe that such a thing would be equipped in the army. On the battlefield, the entire army needed hundreds of thousands or even millions of arrows. How much manpower and time would it take to equip the entire army with such complicated arrows? With the technology of this era, no country could equip the army with such arrows.
It can be seen that the enemy in the tunnel may not be the Ning army, at least there are outsiders helping the Ning army. Tang Yin's hand holding the arrow slightly exerted force, and with a click, the arrow bent and the wooden pole inside broke.
Let's see who is helping the Ning army! Tang Yin stood up, grabbed a sword, and continued to walk inside step by step.
The tunnel seemed to have no end. After an unknown period of time, the corpses on the ground gradually decreased, and Tang Yin made a crisp sound with every step.
The sound was not loud, but it was particularly harsh in the silent tunnel.
The enemy did not show up for a long time, and Tang Yin also hoped to lure the enemy out as soon as possible. He deliberately stepped harder and stepped on the stones and tiles on the ground.
At this moment, a figure suddenly swayed at the corner in front. In the blink of an eye, several people jumped out, all holding crossbows in their hands, aiming at Tang Yin and firing several arrows.
Ding Ding Dang Dang!
The arrows from the crossbows used by the opponent were so fast that Tang Yin could not dodge them. The arrows were nailed on the spiritual armor on his body, making a crackling sound, sparks flying everywhere, and others were also affected by the impact and retreated several steps.
What a strong force! Although he was only hit by a few arrows, Tang Yin clearly felt that the spiritual armor on his body had been broken. One reason was that the force of the crossbow arrows was too strong, and the other reason was that his spiritual energy had not been fully recovered, and the spiritual armor was weak.
Seeing the sparks, the opponent completely confirmed Tang Yin's position, and all the remaining crossbow arrows were shot out in one breath, all rushing towards him.
Tang Yin did not dare to be careless. If he was hit by these crossbow arrows, he would become a hedgehog. He quickly performed Shadow Drift, and with a flash, he was already in the middle of the sneak attackers. He casually waved the knife in his hand, and the battle knife became spiritual, and the dark fire attached to the blade. The spiritual knife with the dark fire silently cut through the bodies of several people.
Pounce, pounce, pounce—Tang Yin's knife was too fast, and the opponent didn't even have a chance to react. He was swallowed by the dark fire, and spiritual mist was born, filling the sky above the tunnel. Tang Yin took a deep breath, absorbing the opponent's spiritual energy while searching for the answer he wanted to know from the opponent's memory.
These people are all Ningjun, but the crossbows they use are not from Ningjun, but from Ningguo's ranger organization Guipiaotang. As for why Guipiaotang's things are in the hands of Ningjun, these Ningjun soldiers have no answer in their memories.
Tang Yin is certainly not unfamiliar with Guipiaotang. Not long ago, he suffered a great loss from Guipiaotang's hidden weapons!
Just when he wanted to search for more useful information from Ningjun's memory, suddenly, a steel knife stabbed out of the wall beside him.
If it were someone else, he would not be able to dodge such a sneak attack, but Tang Yin's reaction speed was so fast that it was astonishing. At the moment when the steel knife approached him, he fell on his back and rolled backwards.
Before the other party could put away his knife, Tang Yin's body lying on the ground was like an arrow shot from a bow, and he rushed back to the wall. He grabbed the wall with his palm, and with a bang, half of his arm was sunk into the wall, and then he shouted: "Get out!"
As he retracted his arm, a large part of the wall collapsed with a bang, and a Ning soldier rushed out from inside.
Without waiting for the other party to get up from the ground, Tang Yin raised his knife and chopped off the other party's head. A wisp of spiritual mist emerged from the severed head.
Tang Yin looked up and found that there was a mezzanine inside the wall.
Before he could go forward to check what was going on, a large number of Ning soldiers holding torches and sharp blades suddenly rushed out of the mezzanine and rushed towards him shouting.
