Chapter 344 On the other side, Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wusu, who were still attacking Tongmen, also heard the news that Yancheng was in an emergency and Zhong Tian had retreated to Wancheng.
The strategists in the army came to find Zhan Wushuang one after another and suggested to him that he should immediately withdraw his troops and return to Yancheng.
Zhan Wushuang frowned, and didn't answer immediately, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to give up halfway, not to mention that Tongmen was too important, and he had to recapture it from the hands of the Tianyuan Army, otherwise, he would be alone in Fengdi, that is, there was no logistical support, and there was no reinforcement from the rear, and the situation was extremely unfavorable.
Seeing that Zhan Wushuang was still hesitant, a strategist asked: "Is the general sure of defeating Tongmen?"
"This" Zhan Wushuang muttered.
Among the enemy troops in Tongmen is Shangguan Yuanrang, and there is no one who can deal with this one person.
"If the general is not sure, he must immediately withdraw his troops, assist Zhong Tian, and hold Yancheng, otherwise, if Yancheng is lost, our army will be trapped between Yancheng and Tongmen, unable to advance or retreat, and the whole army will be in danger."
Ah After hearing this, Zhan Wushuang gasped and secretly said that it was reasonable.
He nodded and said, "What Mr. said is extremely true" As he spoke, he said to Zhan Invincible: "Invincible, pass the order, and the whole army will set off and return to Yancheng" Although Zhan Invincible was unwilling, he also understood the critical situation at this time, and did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly agreed: "It's big brother" "And" Zhan Wushuang thought for a while, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I will personally explain this matter to the king."
He commanded a large army to attack Tongmen, that was the will of Yan Chu, King Ning, and now that he wants to retreat, he naturally has to be Ming Yan Chu, in addition, he also needs to notify Ming Xiaotian on the east side of Tongmen, so that he can understand his current predicament.
Originally, Ming Xiaotian and Zhan Wushuang were two armies attacking Tongmen before and after, but with the forced retreat of Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wushuang, only Ming Xiaotian's army remained, and the hope of recapturing Tongmen had become very slim.
Zhan Wushuang was afraid that Yancheng would not be protected, and his army was trapped between Yancheng and Tongmen, so he led his subordinates to rush back to Yancheng with a rapid march.
Before they arrived in Yancheng, the Tianyuan army had already arrived first, and the army set up a large camp outside the northern city of Yancheng.
After the camp was set up, Tang Yin took Qiu Zhen, the Shangguan brothers and several guards, rode out of the camp, walked to a piece of high ground not far away, and raised his eyes to look at Yancheng in the distance.
Looking at the outline of Yancheng, Tang Yin felt a lot of emotion in his heart, he was out of Yancheng at the beginning, and was transferred to the distant plain county, and now he has made a big circle in the north of the wind country, and returned to Yancheng again, the situation has been completely different, not only is the personnel completely different, but he is also very different from the beginning.
Feng Wang Zhanhua was killed by Zhong Tian, and the four most powerful elites in the Wind Country existed in name only, and there was not much left of Zhong Tian, a pseudo-king.
At the beginning, Tang Yin was only a county leader, but now, he is called the county leader, but he actually controls four counties, and has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, as if he has become the most powerful department in the Wind Country.
After watching for a while, Tang Yin turned his head and said to Qiu Zhen: "Qiu Zhen, do you remember what I said when I left Yancheng?"
Qiu Zhen smiled and said, "At that time, Brother Tang said that he would definitely come back.
Now, Brother Tang's words have been fulfilled, and we are indeed back again.
"Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen have the deepest personal relationship, and in private, the two will not call each other by such an official title as an adult.
"yes, I said we would come back, but I didn't expect us to come back this way."
Tang Yin narrowed his eyes and said quietly.
Qiu Zhen also didn't expect such a result, he smiled and said softly: "This is the most decent way to return."
As he spoke, he turned his words, pointed to Yancheng in the distance, and said: "It is reported that there are less than 100,000 defenders in Yancheng, but the warriors and invincibles have rushed back to Yancheng, and they will arrive in less than three days." ” Tang Yin sneered and said, "It's just that the subordinates are defeated, so don't worry." ” Qiu Zhen's face was straight, and he said: "If our army and the Ning army are in a head-to-head confrontation, they do have an absolute advantage, so they are afraid that they will be cunning and cunning, and they will not confront our army head-on, but hide in Yancheng, and join the Peng army inside, and defend Yancheng, so that it will be much more difficult for our army to attack the city." ” "En" Tang Yin nodded, feeling that what Qiu Zhen said was reasonable.
The Ning army lost about 50,000 people when attacking Tongmen, and now there are still 150,000 Ning troops under the command of Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Invincible, if all of them shrink into Yancheng and are on the defensive, the power of the Ning army's arrow array can be exerted to the extreme, and the threat to their own side is great.
After pondering for a moment, Tang Yin said: "In this way, our army should divide a group of troops to stop the Ning army from approaching Yancheng. ” Qiu Zhen smiled and arched his hand and said, "Brother Tang sees it clearly. ” Tang Yin asked: "Qiu Zhen, what do you think of sending the Plains Army to block the Ning Army?"
Qiu Zhen shook his head and said: "The army with the strongest combat effectiveness of our army is the Plains Army, and the Plains Army can be regarded as the core strength of our army, and it should be invested in the most critical main battlefield, and it is not appropriate to transfer out." ” If you can't transfer the Plains Army, which corps can you mobilize The main force of the Sanshui Army has followed Liang Qi to attack Tongmen, and the main force of the Chifeng Army suffered heavy losses when attacking Huya Mountain, and the direct army as Tang Yin's close army can only be used to attack Yancheng, and no legion can come in handy.
Seeing Tang Yin frowning slowly, Qiu Zhen said with a smile: "Brother Tang can send the Sky Eagle Army led by Ziying to block the Ning Army. ” "Oh," Tang Yin looked at Qiu Zhen with a questioning expression.
The name of the Sky Eagle Army is very scary, but except for a good commander, the soldiers below are simply a rabble, and sending them to block the 150,000 Ning Army is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
He said worriedly: "I'm afraid, not only will the Sky Eagle Army not be able to stop the Ning Army, but it will also have to be wiped out by the entire army killed by the Ning Army." ” "If that's the case, it just saves Brother Tang the trouble."
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows.
Qiu Zhense said: "Brother Tang must be clear in his heart, who is the descendant and who is the collateral.
Ziying is taking refuge in Brother Tang, but its loyalty remains to be seen, and now is an extraordinary period, our army will enter Yancheng at the sight of it, Brother Tang wants to achieve a great cause, we must be stable internally, and the top and bottom are concentric, at this time, Ziying's command of nearly 70,000 troops is a little inappropriate. ” Tang Yin nodded while listening, and when Qiu Zhen finished speaking, he also thought about it, smiled lightly, and said casually: "Okay, this matter depends on your opinion." ” Qiu Zhen smiled and said no more on this matter.
Tang Yin is not a long-term and scheming person, if that is the case, he will not need the assistance of Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe, Zong Yuan and other strategists, his most outstanding thing is that he has the enlightened mind of modern people, and can adopt the favorable opinions put forward by others, which makes up for his own shortcomings to the greatest extent.
It is precisely because of this that Qiu Zhen chose to assist him wholeheartedly and push him to the peak step by step.
After returning to the camp, Tang Yin immediately gathered the generals to discuss the strategy of attacking the city.
After all the generals and strategists arrived, Tang Yin asked slowly: "I plan to attack the city tomorrow, I don't know what you think."
"The last general is willing to obey the command of the lord," the generals replied in unison.
"En" Tang Yin said again: "However, the Ning army under the command of the invincible and invincible battles is also marching towards Yancheng, and it will be possible to arrive in the near future, which is a hidden danger for our army, so I plan to divide a part of my forces to go to block the Ning army and create enough time for the main force of my army to attack the city." ” Speaking of this, he paused, turned his head to look at Ziying, one of the generals, and said, "General Ziying, are you willing to lead the Sky Eagle Army under your command to stop the Ning Army."
When he asked this, it meant that he didn't give Ziying any room to refuse.
Ziying has just taken refuge in Tang Yin, this is the first task given to him by Tang Yin, no matter how dangerous and difficult it is, he can only bite the bullet and continue.
Ziying was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then immediately said: "The last general is willing to go" "Okay" Tang Yin first praised it, and then admonished with concern: "There are many Ning soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is quite strong, even if General Ziying is talented and capable, I am afraid that the Sky Eagle Army will not be able to compete with him head-on."
When it came into contact with Ning's army, General Ziying tried to avoid engaging it head-on, as long as he dragged it or slowed down the march. ” "It's the Admiral who understands."
Although this task is somewhat difficult, it is not impossible to do, after all, the purpose of this battle is to delay time, not to crush the entire Ning army.

Ziying arched her hand to Tang Yin and received the military order.
After that, Tang Yin began to arrange the details of the attack on Yancheng.
He ordered the Plains Army and the directly subordinate army to attack the north and west gates of Yancheng respectively, and ordered the Sanshui Army and the Chifeng Army to be supplemented by the Sanshui Army and the Chifeng Army to attack the east gate and south gate of Yancheng with the strategy of harassment and feint.
The generals have no objection to Tang Yin's arrangement, and they should all be.
When it was said, Ziying obeyed Tang Yin's order and commanded the Heavenly Eagle Army to bypass Yancheng and go to block the Ning army rushing towards Yancheng.
After Ziying returned to Tang Yin, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of his subordinates, he borrowed some veterans from the Plains Army, the Sanshui Army, the Chifeng Army, and the directly subordinate army.
These veterans combined numbered in the thousands, filling the Aquila Army, bringing its strength to 70,000.
Don't underestimate Ziying's move, the value of veterans in the army is immeasurable, dispersing veterans into various corps and formations, can teach a large group of recruits around how to save their lives on the battlefield and how to kill the enemy's experience, so that the combat effectiveness of the whole army can be improved, it can be said that veterans on the battlefield are the most valuable wealth of the whole army.
Because the counties west of Yancheng were still nominally in Zhong Tian's sphere of influence, Ziying's march was also cautious, not daring to take the official road, picking the paths of barren mountains and mountains, and the schedule was completely reversed, and the whole army slept and rested during the day, and only began to march at night.
In this way, although the march was slow, the concealed surname was guaranteed, and the Sky Eagle Army penetrated deep to the west of Yancheng and became an unknown surprise army
