Chapter 331 Tang Yin's trip to Mozambique came and went faster, and it was less than ten days before and after in Mozambique, but the impact on Mozambique was immeasurable.
There was nothing to say on the way, Tang Yin and the others followed Zhao Fu's caravan, went out of the border of Mozambique, entered Baguan, and then returned to Xibai, the county seat of Lehu County, from the original road of Baguan.
Tang Yin's back and forth took almost two months, and in these two months, a lot of things happened.
The first was Ningguo's counteroffensive against Tongmen.
The news of the loss of Tongmen shook the entire Ning country, it can be said that the whole country was in an uproar, after Ning Wang Yan Chu learned of this, he did not delay for a moment, and immediately ordered the general of Ning State, Kong Jie, to command 200,000 troops, go to Tongmen, and issued a death order, regardless of any price, Tongmen must be recaptured.
Kong Jie accepted the king's order, led 200,000 Ning troops from Liangzhou, Ningdu, and rushed all the way, and arrived at Tongmen in only half a month.
After the soldiers approached the city, the Ning soldiers did not take a break and immediately launched a large-scale siege of the city.
The west gate of Tongmen is already strong, the city is high and the wall is thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Kong Jie is in a hurry to march, the army is not enough to carry large siege equipment, and it is equivalent to using people to pave the way.
The 200,000 Ning army was attacked head-on by the more than 80,000 Sanshui army, with countless casualties, and the corpses outside Tongmen City could be described as piling up and bleeding like a river.
The 200,000 Ning army attacked the city for three days in a row, but instead of entering the city, they lost their troops and lost their generals, and the soldiers were miserable.
On the fourth day of the battle, when the Ning army was still attacking in a big way, Liang Qi saw that the Ning army was demoralized and tired, so he ordered Shangguan Yuan to command all the 5,000 cavalry in the city and go out of the city to meet the Ning army.
Shangguan Yuanrang led 5,000 cavalry to suddenly kill out of Tongmen, which was like a knife straight into the siege team of the Ning army, killing the Ning army's camp in chaos, the front army was defeated one after another, and the soldiers trampled on each other, trampling on each other and trampling on countless wounded.
The 5,000 cavalry was pursued by the front army of the Ning army into the camp of the Ning army, unstoppable, the Ning army could not resist, abandoned the camp and fled, and the 5,000 cavalry pursued the enemy for ten miles, and then returned victorious under the order of Liang Qi.
After this battle, most of the 200,000 Ning troops suffered casualties and were no longer able to attack the city, so Kong Jie led the remnants of the army to defeat and retreat to Liangzhou.
Knowing of Kong Jie's fiasco, Yan Chu not only removed his title of general, but also demoted his official position and title to the end, and then ordered another general of Ningguo, Ming Xiaotian, to command 200,000 elite Central Army of Ningguo to go to Tongmen.
Ming Xiaotian is a veteran of Ningguo, who is very good at using soldiers, and has won the trust of Yan Chu, King of Ning.
Although the central army of Ningguo, which he commanded, also rushed to Tongmen, he did not immediately order the siege of the city, but ordered the whole army to camp and rest, and at the same time began to find out the news in Tongmen, and at the same time waited for the baggage from the rear to be transported to the army.
Ming Xiaotian was like a great enemy against the Tianyuan Army this time, he was cautious, and he didn't dare to have the slightest negligence, his son Ming Xuan had been a prisoner of the Tianyuan Army, and he was also impressed by the cunning of the Tianyuan Army.
Due to the heavy security of the Sanshui Army stationed in Tongmen, although Ming Xiaotian sent a large number of spies, he did not hear valuable information.
He was stationed outside Tongmen for ten days, and after all the baggage in the rear arrived, he made a tentative siege.
The elite of the Central Army of Ningguo is indeed not comparable to other legions, and it is assisted by large siege equipment, although it is only a tentative attack, it is still very sharp.
The Sanshui army defended the city to the death, stubbornly resisted, when the Ning army killed up, its counterattack was still fierce, the arrows on the city were like rain, the rolling wood and stones were not interrupted for a moment, the trebuchet in the city launched boulders from time to time, smashed into the siege phalanx of the Ning army caused great lethality, in addition, the city-breaking crossbow and the city-breaking crossbow carried by the Sanshui army also brought a lot of threats and troubles to the Ning army, especially the city-breaking crossbow, which was originally used to break the city, and is now used to defend the city.
A trebuchet that shot directly into the rear of the Ning army.
The trebuchet was already fragile, how could it withstand the slamming of the wooden stakes, after the two trebuchets were damaged by the broken city crossbow, Ming Xiaotian immediately ordered the trebuchet to retreat, but as soon as the trebuchet withdrew, its range could not touch the head of the Tongmen city wall, and it lost its effect.
After a round of tentative attacks, Ming Xiaotian immediately realized that the enemy army in Tongmen was numerous and well-prepared, and it was not at all possible that his own 200,000 people could storm it, let alone take Tongmen in a short time.
Subsequently, Ming Xiaotian ordered the whole army to retreat and garrison outside the west city of Tongmen, that is, not to attack or retreat, not to move, and to confront the Sanshui Army occupying Tongmen.
At the same time, Ming Xiaotian hurried back to Liangzhou to see the king Yan Chu, and asked Yan Chu to give an order to the two brothers in Fengguo, Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Invincible, that the two of them would command the Ning army to attack Tongmen from the inside of Fengdi, and cooperate with his 200,000 central army to launch a flanking attack, and attack Tongmen on both sides of the east and west, without worrying that Tongmen would not be broken.
After receiving Ming Xiaotian's slight, Yan Chu immediately adopted it, and immediately ordered Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wushu to retreat quickly in the form of a flying pigeon to assist Ming Xiaotian in attacking Tongmen.
At this time, the Zhanjia brothers already knew the news of the loss of Tongmen, and after the defeat and escape of Zhang Xiaoting, the former defender of Tongmen, he defected to the Zhan Wushuang brothers, asking the two of them to immediately command the army to return to Tongmen.
Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wushu both know the important surname of Tongmen to their side, and they also want to save it, but the Tianyuan army has fully occupied Lehu County, and they may go south to attack Yancheng at any time, without the will of King Ning, how dare the two of them mobilize the army privately After receiving Yan Chu's flying pigeon message, the Zhanjia brothers could be regarded as breathing a sigh of relief, and without hesitation, they immediately waved their troops west and attacked Tongmen.
The 200,000 Ning army commanded by the Zhan brothers was like the last trump card in Zhong Tian's hand, the two brothers led the 200,000 Ning army to evacuate Yancheng and wanted to go back to attack Tongmen, Zhong Tian immediately panicked, and personally went out of the palace to meet the Zhan brothers and asked them to stay in Yancheng.
Now Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wushu feel upset when they see Zhong Tian, and they don't have a good face for him, and now that the two of them have King Ning's royal order in their hands, they don't care about Zhong Tian at all, so they just pull out the camp overnight and lead the whole army to Tongmen.
Ning Jun withdrew, not to mention Zhong Tianmeng, even the Wenchen generals in his hands were frightened of the six gods and masters, and they didn't know what to do.
With the Ning army by their side to assist in guarding Yancheng, they still have the confidence that they can resist the Tianyuan army, and now they are left to defend the city by themselves, how can they still resist the Tianyuan army with nearly half a million people The panic first spread from the royal court, and soon spread to the whole army and even the whole city.
The 200,000 central soldiers that Zhong Tian had finally organized were panicked and had no fighting spirit, and the officers and men from top to bottom all felt that a great disaster was coming.
Let's say that the two of them, Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Invincible, led 200,000 Ning troops to rush all the way to the east of Tongmen, and formed a flank attack with Ming Xiaotian and others outside the west city.
Now, the Sanshui Army stationed in Tongmen will face 400,000 Ning troops, and they will still be attacked from front to back.
With a mere 80,000 people defending a lonely city and resisting 400,000 enemy troops, any commander would panic, but Liang Qi was able to calm down, and he divided the more than 80,000 soldiers under his command into 50,000 people, led by Shangguan Yuanrang, stationed in Dongcheng to resist the 200,000 Ning army of the Zhanjia brothers, and he himself only led more than 30,000 people to garrison Xicheng to resist the 200,000 central army of Ming Xiaotian.
Because of the Tongmen block, Ming Xiaotian and Zhan Wushuang, Zhan Invincible could not meet, and they could only pass the news through the flying pigeon, and soon, the two sides agreed on a good time and prepared to join forces to attack the city.
When the agreement was made, the 400,000-strong Ning army launched a fierce joint attack on Tongmen from the east and west.
According to Ming Xiaotian's meaning, the first battle was a decisive battle, and he and the brothers of the Zhan family invested all the troops under their command.
This vicious battle can no longer be described as bloody and cruel, Tongmen has simply turned into a huge meat grinder, constantly devouring the lives of soldiers on both sides.
The battle lasted from early morning to late at night, and under the desperate resistance of the Sanshui Army, the 400,000 Ning army was blocked outside the city of Tongmen, and they did not enter Tongmen for half a step.
Seeing that the Ning army had the posture of attacking the city overnight, Shangguan Yuanrang, who was alone for the first time, was extremely excited, and without any discussion with Liang Qi, he handed over the command to a corps commander.
When their 400,000 troops attacked the city together, the enemy army did not defend the city, but also fought back, which was indeed the expectation of the Ning army.

And because the sky was too dark, the Ning army in the rear could not see the situation in front clearly, or desperately pushed forward, this retreat and close collision together, making the overall camp of the Ning army chaotic, the soldiers pushed and trampled on each other, without the enemy to fight, their own casualties were already huge.
Seeing that Tongmen had killed a cavalry, he was unstoppable, and the siege camp of his own side was in chaos, and he immediately met and killed.
As soon as he came up, he happened to meet Shangguan Yuanrang, who was rushing to the front, these two were already old acquaintances, and after they met, they didn't need to say hello, they were immediately torn together.
Zhan Invincible is a brave and good general, his cultivation and Lingwu can be ranked in the top three in the entire Ning Kingdom, but compared with the brave and invincible Shangguan Yuanrang, it is still a cut behind, the two fought for more than 30 rounds, Zhan Invincible gradually only had the attack of parrying, and had no power to fight back, and fought for more than ten rounds, Zhan Invincible has been Shangguan Yuanrang's three-pointed two-edged knife full of big men, panting, no longer dare to fight, turn around and run.
Shangguan Yuan let him know that Zhan Wushu was one of the commanders of the 200,000 Ning army, so he was willing to let him escape easily, and urged the horse to chase and kill him.
The two of them ran one by one and chased after each other, starting a chase battle in the huge Ning army camp.
The invincible battle was blocked, and although the time to resist Shangguan Yuanrang was not long, the well-trained Ning army still took advantage of this gap to calm down, and when Shangguan Yuanrang chased and killed the invincible battle, the Ning soldiers had prepared dozens of tripping horse locks to meet Shangguan Yuanrang.
No matter how high Shangguan Yuanrang's riding skills are, he can dodge one or two tripping horse locks, but he can't dodge them all, and after a short time, Shangguan Yuanrang's war horse was tripped by a tripping horse lock, and even people and horses fell to the ground, and the surrounding Ning army thought that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and they rushed forward, but they went up fast and fell faster, with a few cold flashes, the Ning soldiers who rushed to kill were all cut off by Lingbo, and the stumps and broken arms were scattered all over the ground
