Chapter 384 Tang Yin led the crowd out of Yancheng, and before he had gone far, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and when he looked back, he saw two knights rushing in the direction of Yancheng.
He frowned secretly, he did not order the requisition of the generals of the imperial court, who were these two people It wasn't until the second horse ran close that he saw clearly that these two were indeed generals, but they were both female generals, two sisters, Wumei and Wuying. didn't expect the two of them to come, Tang Yin reined in the war horse, and when the second daughter arrived, he asked suspiciously: "Why are you here" Wu Mei preemptively said: "Of course I went to war with you."
Tang Yin smiled and said, "It's not child's play to fight nonsense, go back quickly."
In his concept, women are not suitable for war, and it is better to stay in the rear than to contribute more when they go out with the army.
Wu Mei pursed her lips when she heard this, and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't forget what nonsense, I included you in the army at the beginning."
Tang Yin knocked his head with a headache and asked: "Wu Xiang knows that you two are going to go with me" Wu Ying was about to shake her head, and Wu Mei hurriedly said: "Of course, Xiaoying and I have already told my father, and my father agreed."
"Oh" It's strange to agree, Tang Yin nodded solemnly, and shouted sideways: "Cheng Jin" "Subordinate in" Cheng Jin, who was behind Tang Yin, immediately urged forward.
Tang Yin said: "Send the famous brother back to the city to ask the Prime Minister if he knows that Miss Wumei and Miss Wuying are going to go with the army."
"It's an adult" Cheng Jin saw that Tang Yin was scaring Wu Mei, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he pretended to call a dark arrow brother to the side and asked him to go back to the city to ask.
Before the man could leave, Wu Mei had already stopped him in a hurry.
Tang Yin smiled secretly in his heart, but his face raised his eyebrows in confusion, looking at her blankly.
Wu Mei looked at the people around her embarrassedly, rode a horse to Tang Yin's side, grabbed his sleeve with her little hand, and muttered in a low voice: "Okay, my father doesn't know about this, so you have a good heart, don't send someone to ask" Sure enough.
Tang Yin sighed lightly, looking at the dancing eyes with both helplessness and love.
Under the pitiful gaze of Wu Mei and Wu Ying, Tang Yin thought for a while, and finally compromised, he nodded, shook his head again, and said to Wu Mei and Wu Ying: "Only this once, not an example" "Great" Wu Mei and Wu Ying both showed bright smiles.
The 100,000 Heavenly Eagle Army bypassed Wancheng and went to attack the Sealed City, Wu Guang and the 50,000 directly subordinate troops under the command of Zhanhu set up an ambush between Wancheng and the Sealed City, and Tang Yin led the remaining 350,000 Tianyuan Army to Wancheng.
Just a few days after Zhong Tian retreated to Wancheng, he heard that his subordinates came to report, Tang Yin personally led the army to call again, and he jumped in anger in the palace and scolded Tang Yin for not being a thing, and wanted to kill himself.
The civil officials and generals under him are not in a hurry, although they only have less than 30,000 soldiers and horses now, but the city defense of Wancheng is very strong, and there are more than 100,000 Ning troops stationed in the city, Tang Yin wants to capture Wancheng is not so easy, just the condescending arrow array of the Ning army is not something that the Tianyuan army can afford.
A civil official said to Zhong Tian that Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wushu should be summoned immediately, and asked them to send the Ning army to the city to garrison first.
After hearing this, Zhong Tian was reasonable, and immediately sent someone to find the two brothers of the Zhan family.
He had just sent people out, and before he left the palace, Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wushu both came first.
After the two saw Zhong Tian, they just bowed, then straightened up and looked around at the surrounding Wenchen generals, and finally, their eyes fell on Zhong Tian.
Zhan Wushuang opened his mouth and asked: "Presumably, the monarch has heard about Tang Yin commanding the army to go south to Wancheng" "Yes, yes, yes" Zhong Tian nodded again and again, and said: "I was about to find two generals for this matter, and the two generals should now quickly transfer their soldiers to the city to resist the Tianyuan army that may come to the city at any time" Before he finished speaking, Zhan Wushuang shook his head with a wry smile and said: "It's too late, your lord, you only know that the Tianyuan Army is approaching Wancheng, but you know that another team of soldiers and horses of the Tianyuan Army has gone to attack the city."
Ahh Tang Yin actually divided his troops into two ways, attacking Wancheng all the way and sealing the city all the way, which was really unexpected.
Zhong Tian was only stunned for a moment, then smiled, he rubbed his hands and said: "Tang Yin scattered his troops, this is a good thing, in this way, he can't concentrate all his strength to attack our Wancheng, and our hope of holding on to success will be greatly increased" Zhan Wushuang almost vomited blood when he heard this, at this time he just didn't have a map at hand, if there was a map, it must be stuffed under Zhong Tian's nose, let him see clearly, how important the closure of the city is to Wancheng.
He took a few deep breaths, forced the anger in his heart down, and said: "Your Majesty, what is the use of us only holding Wancheng, and the closure of the city is the only way for us to retreat, once the closure is lost, Wancheng will become a lonely city, that is, there is no reinforcement, and there is no dependence, only relying on the current more than 100,000 people, how long does the monarch think we can hold out for a month, two months, or a year, two years" After a series of questions from Zhan Wushuang, Zhong Tian was speechless, he looked at his civil ministers and generals, and asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you say" Everyone looked at each other, They all moved forward, and bowed their hands and said: "The king, what General Wushuang said is reasonable, the king has to make arrangements as soon as possible" Zhong Tian nodded thoughtfully, turned his eyes and looked at Zhan Wushuang again, and asked: "General Wushuang, then according to your opinion, how should we deal with the division of troops to reinforce the closure of the city" Zhan Wushuang shook his head and said: "According to the report, the Tianyuan army went to attack the closed city with a lot of troops, there are enough 100,000 people, if we divide troops to reinforce, how many suitable troops are divided, Wancheng is not guaranteed, and the division of troops is too small, and it is equivalent to hitting stones with eggs, In my opinion, now I can only give up Wancheng, and all of them will retreat south" "I want to withdraw again" Zhong Tian listened, his facial features were about to shrink together, and now he has lost most of the rivers and mountains, and there are fifteen counties in the Wind Country, he only occupies four counties, and the other eleven counties have fallen into the hands of the Tianyuan Army, and now they have to retreat, when will this be the head Zhan Wushuang could understand Zhong Tian's mood, he sighed helplessly, and said: "Your Excellency, this is also a matter of leaving the green mountains here, I am not afraid of running out of firewood, and I hope that the monarch will make a decision as soon as possible, and don't delay any longer."
Alas, Zhong Tian looked up and sighed, and couldn't help but look at the ministers under his command again.
He really didn't want to retreat anymore, he understood that it was difficult to come back again, and his dream of being a king was completely over.
At this time, he hoped that someone would stand up and come up with a good plan for him to retreat from the enemy without withdrawing.
However, when the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty saw Zhong Tian's inquiring gaze, they lowered their heads one after another, and they didn't even dare to breathe.
The past is vivid, Li Qi, Xu Hui, Ye Cheng, Wei Xuan, etc., were all left behind by Zhong Tian in Yancheng, and finally only fled back to Li Qi alone, and the rest of the generals died on the battlefield, even Li Qi, who fled back with nine deaths, was also killed well, and was beheaded by Zhong Tian on the charge of fighting unfavorably and escaping from the battle, and now everyone is afraid that Zhong Tian will call his name and let him stay in Wancheng.
At the time of crisis, no one stepped forward, and no one could offer a good strategy, Zhong Tian's heart was half cold, his body leaned back, slumped on the king's chair, and said quietly: "According to General Wushuang's opinion, our side evacuated Wancheng and went to seal the city" "The king saw clearly" Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wushu both intervened to give salutes, and then said: "The last general will go back to prepare first."
After speaking, the two brothers didn't wait for Zhong Tian to have anything to explain, turned around, and strode out of the hall.
Now the two brothers of the Zhan family have been very disappointed in Zhong Tian, standing on Zhong Tian's side, against Tang Yin, there is no hope of winning at all, the two brothers have also made up their minds, no matter what, they will no longer have a head-to-head confrontation with the Tianyuan army and save their own troops, but it is really not possible, so they will simply withdraw from the country of wind and go all the way south to the country of Mozambique.
Zhong Tian accepted the proposal of Zhan Wushuang and continued to move his court south, exiting Wancheng and marching in the direction of the blockade.
Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wushu found out that the Tianyuan Army had divided their forces to attack the blockade, but they didn't find that the Tianyuan Army also had an ambush between Wancheng and the blockade.
Now, the strength of the Ning army is about 120,000, and the strength of Zhong Tian's subordinates is nearly 30,000, and the two sides together can barely reach 150,000, but Zhong Tian has a lot of family members on his side, and he himself has dozens of wives and concubines, and the families of the ministers below are also dozens of few, and there are hundreds of them, and there are not a few rich and noble people who depend on Zhong Tian.
At a cold glance, I thought there were hundreds of thousands of people, but in fact, there were too many old and weak women and children.
Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wushu were worried that the Tianyuan Army would capture the city one step ahead of them, and the two of them urged the speed of the march again and again, but they were dragged down by Zhong Tian, and the Ning Army couldn't get up fast if they wanted to.
Not to mention that those family members were moving slowly, even the baggage carried by Zhong Tian and the others was a big burden, and the boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry that Zhong Tian had accumulated had now become a huge burden.
From Wancheng to the closure of the city, it was only less than two days, and Zhong Tian and his party walked for two days, and the journey was more than half.
Seeing such a large group of enemy soldiers, Wu Guang and Zhan Hu, who were in ambush halfway, were also startled.
After receiving the report of the spies, the two did not quietly go out of the ambush site, lying on a higher mountain bag, raising their eyes to watch, only to see the enemy soldiers walking on the official road, can only be described as a sea of people, boundless and boundless, you can see the beginning of the team, but you can't see the end of the team, the flags in the army are also chaotic, that is, there are Ning flags, there are Peng flags, and there are heavy cars one after another.
After seeing it, Wu Guang and Zhan Hutong frowned, and the latter muttered in a low voice: "How many reinforcements the other party has sent feels like there are hundreds of thousands":
