After withdrawing the troops back to the camp, the generals of the Chuan and Zhen armies gathered in the central army tent. Because the battle was not going well, the atmosphere in the big tent was also very depressing. People hung their heads and read the full text in silence.

Ren Fang did not sit down. He walked back and forth behind the general's desk with his hands behind his back. After walking for a while, he stopped and said expressionlessly: "Generals, tell me, why can a small Jinyang withstand the strong attack of my hundreds of thousands of troops, and the garrison inside is less than 100,000."

Yes, Jinyang City is small and the city defense is poor. The Feng Army has less than 100,000 troops, but it can hold its own army outside the city. The generals are puzzled by this. At this time, Zheng Liao, the commander of the first team to attack the city, stepped in and saluted, saying, "General, the houses in the outer city of Jinyang are the biggest problem. There are a large number of dark spiritual practitioners in the Feng army. They sneak out of Jinyang and use the houses as cover. They are elusive and suddenly kill people. It is hard to guard against them. I don't know how many of our soldiers were killed or injured in the sneak attacks of the dark spiritual practitioners. This also makes the brothers who are attacking the city worry and difficult to exert their full strength."

Dian Cang, the commander of the second team to attack the city, has a deep understanding of Zheng Liao's explanation. He nodded and continued, "General Zheng is right. The dark spiritual practitioners of the Feng army are indeed a huge obstacle to our army's siege. During the battle, they sneak attack our soldiers everywhere and constantly create chaos. Although our army has a large number of troops, they often lack stamina at critical moments. The reason is all here!"

The two commanders who attacked the city both attributed the unfavorable siege to the dark spiritual practitioners of Feng country. Ren Fang was skeptical about this.

As far as he knew, although Feng State allowed and even encouraged the existence of dark spiritualists, there were not many dark spiritualists in the country, and even fewer who could be called masters. Most of them gathered in the Dark Arrow Organization. The total number of members of the Dark Arrow was only about 300. Even if they were all in Jinyang, how could they possibly destroy the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops? Seeing Ren Fang frowning slightly, Zheng Liao, as a Sichuan general, immediately understood that the general did not believe his words. He hurriedly said, "General, two of my four assistant generals were killed by the dark spiritualists of Feng State, and two of my five corps commanders also died at the hands of dark spiritualists. If the generals are like this, you can imagine what the brothers below are like." Ren Fang took a breath of cold air. When the first siege team withdrew, two assistant generals and two corps commanders of the Sichuan Army were killed. It turned out that the four did not die in the siege, but all died at the hands of dark spiritualists. This was too terrible. Ren Fang raised his eyebrows, stared at Zheng Liao, and asked doubtfully: "Are you serious?"

Zheng Liao said solemnly: "General, I will never say a word of falsehood!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dian Cang on the other side sighed and said bitterly: "Several generals under my command were stabbed by dark spiritual practitioners, six of whom were seriously injured and three were killed."

Ren Fang clenched his fists. The two siege teams suffered heavy losses due to the dark spiritual practitioners in the Feng army. He could no longer ignore it and had to find a way to eliminate the threat of dark spiritual practitioners. He looked around and asked: "Generals, do you have any way to break the dark spiritual practitioners?"

"This..." The generals looked at each other, and no one spoke.

The two countries of Chuanzhen strictly prohibited spiritual practitioners from practicing dark spiritual weapons. Zhen State borders the Divine Pond and is deeply influenced by it. Naturally, it resolutely eliminates dark spiritualists. Chuan State has always regarded itself as orthodox, and has always been reasonable and law-abiding. It strongly advocates light spiritual weapons and completely kills dark spiritual weapons. Dark spiritual practitioners are almost unavailable in both countries. People's understanding of dark spiritual practitioners is only superficial. As for how to deal with dark spiritual practitioners, people can't think of a good idea for a while.

Seeing that no one answered, Ren Fang looked at Nie Ze and asked, "General Nie, what do you think?"

Nie Ze's old face blushed slightly, and he shook his head and said, "I don't know dark spiritual practitioners. As for how to deal with them, I can't think of a good way for a while..." Nie Ze is the commander of the Zhen Army. He is not good at spiritual weapons. It is too difficult for him to come up with a way to deal with dark spiritual practitioners.

At this time, Sichuan General Wu Rui stood up, sneered, and said: "General, it is not difficult to deal with dark spiritualists!"

"Oh?" Ren Fang's eyes lit up and asked: "General Wu, what good plan do you have?"

Wu Rui smiled and said: "The reason why dark spiritualists are difficult to deal with is that the shadow drift in the dark spiritual martial arts is too strange and mysterious. As long as the dark spiritualists cannot use the shadow drift, they can only be slaughtered by our army!"

This is the truth, but the question is how to prevent the dark spiritualists from using the shadow drift? Wu Rui saw the doubts of the crowd, and he smiled and said: "What is the shadow drift afraid of? It is afraid of locks! As long as we can control the dark spiritualists, their shadow drift will not be able to be used. Our army can first set up more traps inside and outside the houses near the city wall, mainly with ropes. As long as the dark spiritualists appear and enter the trap, they will be entangled with ropes, so they can't run away even if they want to."

So that's it! All the generals nodded, and they all thought that Wu Rui's idea was very good. The Feng army could set traps for them inside and outside the house, so why couldn't they do the opposite and set traps for the dark spiritualists in the Feng army?

Ren Fang blinked, thought for a moment, clapped his hands and said, "General Wu is right, what do you think?"

"We also agree with General Wu's method of setting up a trap to lure the dark spiritual practitioners in the Feng Army to take the bait!" the generals said in unison.

Wu Rui added: "It is not enough to set up traps. This army must also select a group of outstanding spiritual martial arts masters to deal with the enemy's dark spiritual cultivators. If we only rely on ordinary soldiers, even if we can lock the opponent I'm afraid the other party will cut off the rope and escape as soon as possible."

Ren let out a sigh of relief, thinking that Wu Rui's idea was extremely thorough. He nodded and said: "Okay! After the generals go back, they immediately select the spiritual cultivators in the army. The Sichuan and Zhen armies each have fifty people, who are responsible for dealing with the dark system spiritual cultivators of the Feng Army. These hundred people... General Wu, do you think it is feasible?"

The idea was Wu Rui's, and Wu Rui himself was a famous general in Sichuan. He was highly skilled in martial arts, brave and good at fighting. There was no objection from the generals of the Sichuan and Zhen armies, so the matter was settled.

After a siege battle, the Sichuan and Zhen coalition forces have attached great importance to Tang Yin and An Jian, a group of dark spiritual cultivators, and have thought of countermeasures. On the other side, in Jinyang City.

At the end of this day's fierce battle, the New Army's seriously injured personnel plus the dead soldiers had reached 30% of the total strength. The remaining personnel were also exhausted. Soon after nightfall, a large number of Feng troops fell on the top of Jinyang's city. The soldiers were lying on the city wall, with their armor still on and sleeping in their clothes.

Tang Yin was also very tired, but he couldn't rest whenever he wanted like the soldiers below. He also had to patrol the city defense and discuss the next tactical strategy with his generals.

After the battle, the city of Jinyang seemed to have been washed clean with blood. To this day, the strong smell of blood still lingers. Tang Yin and the generals walked silently on the city wall, deliberately walking lightly and trying not to disturb the rest of the soldiers. After looking at it once, Tang Yin and others got off the city wall and walked towards the barracks in the city.

On the way, Qiu Zhen frowned and said: "The reason why our army was able to withstand the enemy's strong attack today is partly because the soldiers who defended the city fought bloody battles. The king and the brothers An Jian also contributed a lot, and they also outnumbered the enemy." Unexpectedly, the enemy was caught off guard. However, after retreating, the enemy will definitely discuss the matter and plan a countermeasure. When the enemy attacks again, they must have a method of restraint. Your Majesty, please be sure to do so. be careful!"

Tang Yin sneered and said: "A countermeasure? A method of restraint? Hum, I want to see what kind of solution Sichuan and Zhenren can come up with."

Seeing that he had no intention of caring or being wary, Qiu Zhen sighed secretly and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the enemy commander Ren Fang is a famous commander in Sichuan. He is resourceful and very good at using troops. Your Majesty, you must not take it lightly."

Tang Yin couldn't listen to any of these unconstructive words that only served to demoralize the enemy and destroy his own prestige. He waved his hands impatiently and said, "You don't need to remind me of these." After a pause, he asked again. : "Where are the Pingyuan Army and the Sanshui Army now?"

Letian hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the Pingyuan Army has returned to the capital to reinforce and cut off the Zhen Army's retreat. The Sanshui Army is marching towards Gaochuan County to join the Western Border Army and prepare to launch an attack from behind the enemy."

Tang Yin nodded, the Zhen army had reached Wancheng, the situation in Yancheng was very critical, and it was appropriate for the Pingyuan army to go to rescue. As for the combined forces of the Sanshui Army and the Western Border Army, he was not optimistic that the enemy would attack from behind. Tang Yin did not underestimate the combat power of the Sanshui Army, but had no confidence in the Western Border Army.

To defend Jinyang, Tang Yin could only rely on his current troops to block the main force of the Sichuan and Zhen coalition forces. However, he also knew in his heart that the enemy's next attack would be more ferocious, and it would be more difficult for his own side to resist.

How to fight the next battle, Tang Yin couldn't think of a good way for a while, so he could only continue to use today's tactics. The new army defended the city, and he and the secret arrow personnel went out of the city to disrupt the enemy.

Before Tang Yin and the generals returned to the military camp, they saw a large group of people gathering outside the military camp from a distance. Some of these people were young and strong young men, and some were middle-aged people in their forties. They were bustling and seemed to He was arguing with the Feng soldiers guarding the camp gate.

Frowning slightly, Tang Yin turned his head and said to the Shangguan brothers beside him: "Go over and see what's going on!"

"Yes!" Brother Shangguan agreed and walked quickly towards the crowd in front. After a short time, the two returned and came to Tang Yin and said, "Your Majesty, these people have volunteered to join the army and come to help us defend the city."

"Oh." Tang Yin felt warm in his heart when he heard this, but he could only accept the good intentions of the people. If these inexperienced people were really put on such a tragic battlefield, it would be tantamount to destroying his own morale. Not only is it not helpful, it will also bring down one's own city defenses.
