Chapter 774
The young man is only in his early twenties, and the older man is in his fifties, with a rich body and a rosy face.
"Meet the king!" The two of them entered the tent, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed to Tang Yin.
Tang Yin waved his hand, signaling for both of them to get up, then looked at the obese middle-aged man and asked, "Your name is Lu Hui?"
"Yes, my lord!"
"Prime Minister Zhang's retainer?"
"Yes."
"The four gates of Liangzhou have been closed, how did you get out?" Tang Yin asked the latest chapter curiously.
Lu Hui and the Tianyan personnel looked at each other, and the latter replied: "Back to the king, Mr. Lu Hui and the villain have been out of the city for three days and have been waiting for the arrival of our army outside Liangzhou City. However, during the day, Ningguo has many eyes and ears. , Mr. Lu Hui and the villain were afraid of involving Prime Minister Zhang in the city, so they did not dare to come to the military camp, so they waited until late at night. "
This explanation makes sense. Tang Yin nodded and smiled, glanced at Qiu Zhen and Ziying beside him, and saw that their expressions softened, which made him feel more relieved. He said: "Take a little brother with a clairvoyance to rest, and record your great achievements!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The young man knelt down again, kowtowed and thanked him, and then at Lotte's signal, he turned around and walked out of the tent. After he left, Tang Yin asked: "Mr. Lu Hui has been waiting outside Liangzhou for three days. He must have something important to discuss with me, right?"
"That's right, I came here on the orders of my prime minister..." As he spoke, Lu Hui glanced around and hesitated to speak.
Understanding what he meant, Tang Yin raised his chin and said, "It doesn't matter if you say it."
Lu Hui was silent for a moment, then approached Tang Yin and whispered: "My prime minister means that when your army attacks the city, the main force should be used in the north city."
Tang Yin was stunned and asked: "Why should we focus on attacking Beicheng?"
"The prime minister's nephew Zhang Tong is now the deputy general of Beicheng City Defense. As long as your army can kill Beicheng's general Gao Shuping in front of the two armies, the young nephew can naturally take over the defense of Beicheng. At that time, the young nephew can do it at any time. Open the city gates and welcome your troops into the city." Lu Hui's eyes kept rolling as he spoke, with a wicked smile on his face.
After listening to his words, Tang Yin took a breath and was speechless for a long time. He was also secretly wondering whether what Lu Hui said was true or false. Zhang Zhihong was the right prime minister and a traditional dignitary of Ning State. It was normal for some of his relatives to serve in the army. However, it was not necessary to kill Beicheng's general first. An easy task.
We are outside the city and Gao Shuping is inside. How can we kill him? Tang Yin pondered for a long time, then Fang Han smiled and said: "Prime Minister Zhang has many masters. To get rid of North City General Gao Shuping, it will be much easier for Prime Minister Zhang to do it than for our army to do it."
"But the risk is also higher." Lu Hui continued: "Most of the prime minister's retainers are well known to others. Once the matter is exposed, the prime minister will be in doom. Furthermore, Gao Shuping's own spiritual martial arts is not weak. A fierce general who is as famous as Zhan Invincible hastily attempted to assassinate him, with little hope of success. However, this man has an extremely irritable temperament, and it is not difficult for your army to lure him out of the city for a fight. I just don't know if your army is there. It’s time to kill him in front of the military formation.”
Hearing this, Qiu Zhen and Ziying frowned and stared at Lu Hui sharply.
Tang Yin threw his head back and laughed, and said: "Our army has no less than a hundred generals, and countless capable men and strangers. As long as Gao Shuping dares to go out of the city to fight, I will make sure that he never comes back!"
He said it with full confidence, but Qiu Zhen and Ziying grinned secretly beside them. There are no generals in the army at all now. Shangguan Yuanrang, Wu Guang, Jiang Fan, and Zhan Hu are all in the south. If Gao Shuping and Lu Hui said that his strength is equivalent to Zhan Wudi, then who else on our side can defeat him?
Lu Hui didn't know the situation of Feng Jun. Seeing that Tang Yin's words were conclusive, he felt relieved and flattered him with a smile: "What the king said is absolutely true. Your army is full of talents and generals are like clouds. You are a villain." It’s too much to worry about.”
Tang Yin was too lazy to listen to these incomprehensible nonsense. He asked, "Does Prime Minister Zhang have anything else to explain?"
Lu Hui shook his head and said: "There is nothing else. The Prime Minister only hopes that your army can break through the city as soon as possible, kill the foolish king, end the war, and restore peace to the two countries."
Tang Yin smiled calmly and said: "Letian, take Mr. Lu Hui to rest, treat him well, and don't neglect the guests."
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Letian agreed and waved his hand to invite Lu Hui outside the tent.
As soon as Lu Hui left, Tang Yin stood up and walked to the sand table, staring at the terrain of Liangzhou North City.
Qiu Zhen and Ziying both stepped forward and asked, "Do you want your Majesty to accept Lu Hui's advice and focus on attacking Beicheng?"
Tang Yin said absently: "Since Beicheng has internal agents, why should we refuse?"
Ziying murmured worriedly: "There can't be any fraud involved, right?"
Tang Yin shook his head thoughtfully and said: "Probably not. Zhang Zhihong only wants to be King Ning, and helping us is equivalent to helping himself. Now he is already obsessed with power and will not fight with us. Opposition."
"Yes!" Qiu Zhen and Ziying nodded in understanding. Not long ago, it was Zhang Zhihong who passed on the confidential contents of Ningguo's court meeting to their side.
Tang Yin's eyes returned to the sand table and said: "Even if we want to attack Beicheng mainly, we can't let the Ning people see the clues. I plan to set up camps in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Liangzhou. When the city is attacked, we will attack from all sides. It makes Ningren unable to figure out the reality of our army."
Ziying cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I see you clearly! But, how will your Majesty deal with Gao Shuping, the general of North City?"
Tang Yin thought for a while and asked, "How about letting Nan Ye fight him?"
Currently, the strongest Lingwu among the Feng Army is Nan Ye. If he is not sent, there is really no one to send. Ziying smiled bitterly and said, "That's all we can do."
The next day, the Feng army divided into three parts and set up camps outside the North City, South City and West City of Liangzhou respectively.
If possible, Tang Yin would also like to set up a company camp and surround Liangzhou. However, Liangzhou is too big. Not to mention that the Feng army only has more than 200,000 people. Even if there are one million, it is not enough to encircle Liangzhou.
Now the Feng Army has set up a camp outside the four east, west, south and north cities of Liangzhou. They are all about the same size. Looking out from the city, it is really hard to guess which camp the main force of the Feng Army is hidden in.
The Ning Army remained unchanged in response to all changes. No matter how the Feng Army struggled outside the city, it would be fine as long as they could not enter the city. Liangzhou's four gates were tightly closed, and even though Feng's army had set up four camps, they did not leave the city for a sneak attack.
Two days later, the four major camps of the Feng Army were set up and the personnel were almost rested before launching the attack.
The Feng army attacked from all sides. When the array reached the edge of Liangzhou's firing range, it stopped advancing. The generals rushed out from the army and challenged the enemy in front of the city.
Let’s talk about Beicheng.
The elite troops of the Feng Army gathered at Beida Camp, and Tang Yin and most of his generals were also here.
Now, standing in front of the city to fend off the enemy is a general named Shang Yuan of the direct army. His spiritual martial arts are not very strong, but his demeanor is quite arrogant. He is riding a horse in front of the city in a show of glory, pointing out from time to time. He scolded the Ning army in the city for being cowards, and no one dared to go out of the city to fight with him.
The chief general Gao Shuping and his deputy Zhang Tong guarding the north city are now at the top of the city. There are also dozens of Ning army generals standing on the left and right. Listening to the enemy generals' continuous yelling and cursing outside the city, the Ning generals' faces turned red and white. , clenched his fists angrily.
At this time, a Ning general couldn't help but stepped out of the queue, came to Gao Shuping, stepped in to salute, and said in a deep voice: "General, I am willing to go out of the city to fight the enemy to the death!"
Gao Shuping looked at the subordinates who had invited Miao to fight, then at the enemy generals outside the city, and he lowered his head and pondered. Your Majesty has specially told you that you must guard the North City strictly and never go out to fight. However, the wind thieves are too hateful and their people are too aggressive. If you don't go out to destroy their majesty, the morale of the entire army will be suppressed by the wind army.
After thinking about it, Gao Shuping gritted his teeth and nodded in response: "Take three thousand brothers out of the city to fight. If you can, fight. If you lose, withdraw immediately!"
General Na Ning shouted: "The general will go out to fight and take the heads of the thieves outside the city!" As he spoke, he turned around and ran down the city wall.
As the city gate slowly opened, the suspension bridge slowly lowered, and three thousand Ning troops poured out from the city gate. They formed a flying geese array outside the city. The leader of the Ning army, wearing white spiritual armor and holding a spiritual sword, stepped down the maroon The horse, after leaving the city gate, took the lead and rushed straight to Shang Yuan.
Seeing that the enemy came out of the city to fight, Tang Yin, who was sitting in the rear to watch the battle, suddenly smiled. He was not afraid of the enemy going out to fight, but he was afraid that the enemy would stay in the city and not fight.
The Ning general galloped all the way, and when he got close to Shang Yuan, he reined in his horse, pointed forward with his spiritual sword, and shouted: "Come and sign up, general!"
"Shang Yuan!" Shang Yuan raised his head and said proudly.
"Humph! Who did I think he was? He turned out to be a nobody!" General Ning thought that the Feng Army leader must be a famous general, but it turned out that the other party was an ordinary Feng General with no reputation.
"Who are you?" Shang Yuan asked coldly.
"I, Zhou Zheng, am here to take you to see the King of Hell!" As he spoke, Ning Jiang raised his spiritual sword, pointed it at Shang Yuan's head, and chopped it down viciously.
Shang Yuan parried with a horizontal sword, and Zhou Zheng was circling on horseback, fighting back and forth.
Strictly speaking, Shang Yuan can only be regarded as a third-rate military general in the Feng Army, and Zhou Zheng is not much better in the Ning Army. The two of them are about the same strength. When they fight together, they are evenly matched, and the fight is extremely exciting. The sound of drinking and the collision of spiritual soldiers with spiritual soldiers were endless.
The soldiers of both armies beat drums to cheer for their respective generals, and the war drums were beaten like exploding beans.
The two fought for more than fifty rounds. Shang Yuan made an accidental move and was hit in the left arm by Zhou Zheng. While Shang Yuan secretly cried out in pain, he feinted and was defeated.
Zhou Zhenggang was about to urge his horse to pursue him when he suddenly heard a loud sound of gold ringing behind him. He had to rein in his horse, laughed at Shang Yuan's back and said, "Feng thief, this time you are lucky. If you run into me again next time, General, I will definitely take your dog’s head, haha——”
Before Zhou Zheng could return to the city in victory, another general rushed out from the Feng Army camp. This was none other than the deputy commander of the new army, Li Sheng!
