Chapter 169 Successfully recruiting the Baitou army, the wind army continued to march towards Shang Wan.
That night, Tang Yin had nothing to do in the camp tent, thinking of Qi Heng who had just returned to Shun today, and wondering if he was suitable for the army, so he immediately went to Qi Heng's camp tent.
There is still a distance to Qi Heng's camp tent, Tang Yin heard a burst of noise, I don't know what happened, Tang Yin quickened his pace, to Qi Heng's camp tent to take a look, okay, it is not lively inside, or sitting or standing, there are more than ten people, talking and laughing and eating.
Seeing Tang Yin come suddenly, everyone in the tent was stunned, and their bodies were stiff, as if they were fixed, and they didn't move.
Ah San Ah Si behind Tang Yin shouted in a deep voice: "When you see the king, you don't give a salute."
Everyone came back to their senses, put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands, hurriedly got up, bowed down, and said in unison: "King" "You don't need to be polite," Tang Yin smiled and waved his hand, looking around at everyone.
Now Qi Heng and his subordinate brothers have changed into the uniforms of the Feng Army, and they seem to be in a lot of energy.
Before Tang Yin could speak, Ah San said coldly: "Don't you know that it is strictly forbidden to drink alcohol in the army?"
Qi Heng picked the corner of his mouth, picked up the bowl from the table in a hurry, waved his hand, and threw it directly to Ah San.
Ah San also reacted quickly, and at the moment when the bowl hit in front of him, he raised his hand to catch the bowl, and then stared at Qi Heng with a gloomy gaze.
The latter smiled and said: "This general, you sniff carefully, we are drinking tea, not wine" Ah San frowned secretly, lowered his head and sniffed, there was indeed no smell of wine, only the aroma of tea.
Tang Yin casually took the bowl in Ah San's hand, walked up to Qi Heng, and asked with a smile: "What kind of tea do you drink, give this king a bowl too." ” Unexpectedly, Tang Yin wanted to drink tea with his own bowl, Qi Heng was stunned, and then said, "I'll help the king get a new bowl." ” "It doesn't have to be that much trouble."
Tang Yin shook his head, and then sat down casually at the table.
Tang Yin's arrogant attitude made Qi Heng have a good impression of him, took the tea bowl, personally helped Tang Yin fill the tea, and said: "This is the bitter tea we brought ourselves, and I don't know if the king can get used to it."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Yin had already taken the tea bowl and drank all the tea inside.
A famous soldier on the side said timidly: "Doesn't the king think the tea is bitter?"
Tang Yin said: "The first sip is bitter, and the more you drink it, the sweeter it becomes."
As he spoke, he handed the tea bowl to Qi Heng and said, "Another bowl." ” Seeing this, everyone in the tent was happy, including Qi Heng.
Qi Heng said while helping Tang Yin serve tea: "I thought that the king would not be used to drinking this kind of coarse tea. ” Tang Yin smiled lightly, changed his words, and said: "Next, our army is going to attack Shang Wan, Qi Heng, I hope you can show more in this battle." ” Qi Heng handed the full tea bowl to Tang Yin, and said, "King please rest assured, his subordinates will go all out." ” Tang Yin said leisurely: "In our army, there has never been a commander who can command more than 3,000 subordinates.
If you can make a meritorious contribution in the first battle of Shangwan, I can justifiably promote you to the commander of the corps, and you don't want to disappoint me."
These words lifted the spirits of everyone present, and they all showed joy.
They are not only Qi Heng's subordinates, but also brothers who have followed Qi Heng for many years, Qi Heng can be the commander of the corps, and their status can be improved accordingly.
People were surprised and delighted, and turned their heads to look at Qi Heng.
Qi Heng was also very surprised in his heart, he was just a reckless soldier, and he didn't expect that the Wind King would attach so much importance to him.
He was stunned for a moment, then arched his hand, bowed, and said loudly: "Your subordinates will never let the king down. ” "It's so good that with your strength, as long as you take time, your future achievements will be far above the corps commander" Tang Yin put down the empty bowl, stood up, and said to everyone: "You all rest early, our army will continue to rush tomorrow." ” Seeing that Tang Yin was leaving, everyone got up one after another, bowed their hands and said, "Congratulations to the king" Seeing Tang Yin leave, everyone gathered around Qi Heng and said in a gossipy voice: "Brother Qi, it seems that we are right to take refuge in the Feng Army, and the Wind King values Big Brother Qi very much."
"Yes, not only came to visit in person, but also mentioned Brother Qi" Qi Heng laughed while listening, and said proudly disapprovingly: "If I go to the battlefield, I can take the head of the enemy general among the ten thousand armies, and it is natural for the Wind King to value me, but then again, the Wind Army is indeed stronger than the Mo Army, and the Wind King is much more stupid and shrewd than Shao Fang, brothers, you can rest assured, our status in the Wind Army will only get higher and higher, and in the future, no one will dare to bully us again."
Everyone grinned when they heard this.
Shangwan, the capital of Anqiu County.
Shangwan is a big city with a history of hundreds of years, but because of the economic backwardness of Anqiu County and the relationship between non-strategic places, Shangwan looks dilapidated, and many parts of the city wall have been weathered and in disrepair.
As for the moat outside the city, it was even more pitiful, the river had long since dried up, and only a chasm around the city remained, which could not serve to repel the enemy at all.
Shang Wan's city defense can only be described as unbearable, and the defenders in the city are only twenty or thirty thousand people, and it is not difficult for the wind army to attack such a city.
After Tang Yin's army arrived at Shang Wan, he only made a short pause, and then ordered the whole army to attack Shang Wan.
The first to fight was Qi Heng, who had just surrendered to the Wind Army.
Qi Heng rode a high-headed horse, holding a nine-turn soul breaking knife, wandering back and forth outside Shang Wan's northern city, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Gao Guan, don't be a turtle with a shrunken head, quickly go out of the city and die" Seeing Qi Heng fighting the enemy in front of the two armies, Qiu Zhen turned his head and asked Tang Yin: "King, do you really want to send Qi Heng to take the lead, he just returned to our army, I'm afraid that his heart is different."
Tang Yin nodded and said: "The battle of Shangwan is just right to verify whether he is sincere in joining our army" He has already said that Qi Heng should be mentioned, and how he wants to behave depends on himself.
Seeing that Tang Yin was full of confidence, Qiu Zhen knew that he had done it in his heart, so he didn't say anything more.
Others may not know Qi Heng, but Gao Guan, the head of Anqiu County, knows him very well.
As the largest bandit in Anqiu County, the Baitou Army has long become a thorn in Gao Guan's eyes and a thorn in the flesh, and he has also sent troops to encircle and suppress it several times, but the result is a big defeat, especially the time when he personally commanded the troops, even he himself almost died under Qi Heng's knife.
Now seeing Qi Heng coming with the Wind Army, helping the Wind Army take the lead, Gao Guan, who was standing at the head of the city, felt a chill in his heart, and knew without asking that Qi Heng must have taken refuge in the Wind Army, and this battle may be even more fierce and auspicious.
Gao Guan took two steps forward, held the arrow stack in his hand, and shouted loudly outside the city: "Qi Heng, although you were born in the grass, but after all, you are a Mo person, but now you are turning the spearhead and helping the wind people to kill the Mo people, do you still know the word shame What you have done, so that the ancestors and ancestors under the nine springs will be ashamed."
"Stop" Qi Heng was furious, raised his sword and pointed to the high crown on the city, and shouted: "Mo people deceive me, insult me, and can't tolerate me, but the Wind King has the grace of not killing me and the grace of knowing the encounter, what's wrong with my loyalty to the Wind King, not to mention that the Wind King is on the order of the Son of Heaven to crusade against the ministers, you wait for the help of the abuse, sooner or later it will be a dead end, the knowledgeable obediently open the city gate, disarm and surrender, if not, hehe, don't blame me for being ruthless under the Qi Heng knife, kill all you and other traitors" "The thief is hateful, obsessed, since you are willing to be a lackey of the Wind Country, then you can do whatever you can" Gao Guan slapped down the arrow stack, took two steps back, and no longer paid attention to Qi Heng.
Shang Wan didn't have any intention of going out of the city to face the battle, and put on a posture of defending the city, and Tang Yin no longer delayed time, giving orders left and right, beating drums to attack the city.
With Tang Yin's order, the drums of the Feng army camp rang out, the roar was deafening, and all the soldiers moved forward together.
"Wind, Wind, Wind" In the process of advancing the wind army camp, the soldiers shouted loudly while striking the shield with their weapons, and the soldiers of each formation and each corps were almost in the same pace, and every step forward, there was a loud sound like thunder, and even a mile away could clearly feel the tremor of the ground.
Soon, the Wind Army advanced within Shang Wan's range, and before the Mo Army could release its arrows, the Wind Army's arrow array had already been launched first.

With the continuous shouts of the corps commander and the commander of the thousand soldiers, the wind army camp sounded a banging bowstring flicking, and then, tens of thousands of arrows flew up from the head of the wind army camp and fell towards Shang Wan like a dark cloud.
The crackling walls of Shangwan were like hailstones, and the crunching sound continued, and the screams of the scholars who had been shot by stray arrows were everywhere.
In the blink of an eye, Shang Wan's northern city wall was covered by dense black arrow feathers.
This was only the beginning of the wind army's attack, followed by the attack of the stone throwing machine and the city-breaking crossbow, the falling rocks and crossbow arrows continuously hit Shang Wan's city defenses, and each impact made Shang Wan's city walls shake.
Under such a fierce attack by the Wind Army, Shang Wan's defenders didn't even want to find a foothold on the city, let alone fight back.
The local army, which had never experienced a large-scale war, had not yet made direct contact with the wind army, and was completely defeated by the fierce attack of the wind army, and their morale was completely lost, and a large number of soldiers screamed and wailed and fled under the city wall, shrunk under the wall, and trembled with their weapons.
With an elite central army of 80,000 or 90,000 men on one side and a local army of 20,000 or 30,000 men on the other, the gap in strength between the two sides was so large that it could no longer be made up by Shang Wan's poor city defense, and it can be said that the battle turned into a one-sided situation from the beginning.
Qi Heng had already been ordered by Tang Yin, and he was eager to make meritorious contributions, but now seeing that the Feng army was fully superior, and Shang Wan's local army was not vulnerable at all, he was more confident, urged the horse to rush forward, and rushed directly to Shang Wan City in one breath.
Seeing that the wind army behind him hadn't caught up yet, he turned around and shouted urgently: "Rush the car and push the car up, and open the city gate for me":
