After hearing Tang Yin's words, all the youths of Jinhua City kneeled down on one knee, looking ahead, they all rushed to the arena and said in unison: "Master, do not worry, we will definitely fight to the end with Ning Jun, we will not retreat even half a step!"
"Alright!" Tang Yin nodded, and turned to her Regiment Chief subordinates and said: "You can arrange for people to distribute the military uniforms and weapons to them."
"My lord!" Shen Zhichen suppressed the excitement in his heart and said softly: "I'm afraid I may not be able to use it." There were at least thirty or forty thousand of these young and able-bodied men who stood out to join the army. Right now, they had less than twenty thousand armors and weapons, so how could they possibly use them?
Tang Yin pondered for a moment, then said: "We will send out as many as we have, those who have not sent out any armor or weapons will become the reserve army, when the war starts, if there are any casualties, we can immediately send them over!"
Hearing that, Shen Zhichen secretly praised, and immediately replied: "Yes! Your subordinate understands! "
Tang Yin's gaze swept across him, causing the topic to change, and he suddenly said: "Today, in order to stop the enemy from entering the city, General Shen is able to ignore both the enemy and me, decisively giving the order to attack, did well."
Shen Zhichen's face turned serious, and immediately said: "Master, you flatter me." Although that command of his had stopped Zhan Wudi and did not let him kill his way into the city, it had killed over a hundred of his own people. Before this, he had been worried that Tang Yin would blame him if this were to happen, but after hearing his words, his heart calmed down.
It's not easy to get praise from Tang Yin." It's not easy to get praise from Tang Yin. After waiting for a long time and seeing that Tang Yin did not say anything, Shen Zhi Chen could not help but peek at him. It was only then that he realized the latter was praising him, but there was no smile on his face.
His heart trembled, he secretly grinned, and immediately realised that Tang Yin was flattering him on the surface, but in reality, he was blaming him. He anxiously wanted to explain, but at this time, Tang Yin had already waved his hand, blocking his path, and said faintly: "Although it's right, but I do not want to see this kind of situation happen again." After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked back into his own living quarters, leaving the bitter and awkward Shen Zhichen standing there blankly.
The soldiers who had fought bitterly for a whole day could return back to their tents to rest, but Tang Yin did not dare to do so. After returning to the living quarters, he took off his armor and changed into a set of clean clothes. Then, without stopping for a moment, he walked out of the living quarters and went up to the North City wall.
Tang Yin's background was difficult, and this little bit of hardship was nothing to him.
Not long after he sat down, Shangguan Yuan let him walk up from below the city with a jug and a big bag of beef in his hand. Seeing Tang Yin, his eyes lit up. He walked over with a smile and placed the jar of wine and the beef on the ground, then sat beside Tang Yin.
Tang Yin looked at Shangguan Yuan and asked with a smile: Why aren't you resting?
"The Lord hasn't gone to rest yet!" Shangguan Yuan replied with a smile.
Shrugging his shoulders, Tang Yin said: "I'll be able to recover my physical strength pretty much after sitting here for one night."
Shangguan Yuan nodded and said, "Me too." With that, he picked up the wine jar, used his finger to rub the seal, and with a pu sound, a huge hole appeared in the seal of the jar. He tore off the seal and brought the wine jar in front of Tang Yin, laughing out loud: "Master, drink!"
Tang Yin did not hold back, he received the jar of wine and gulped down two mouthfuls. The wind wine was spicy, as though it had been drunk. Tang Yin wiped his mouth and sighed, the cold wind of the night was no longer as cold. He passed the wine jar back to Shangguan Yuanyu, who, like him, also took a few sips from it.
"Master, how long are we going to stay at the Jinhua City?" Shangguan Yuan asked as he put down the wine jar and tore off a piece of beef.
"God knows." Tang Yin said slowly: "Maybe three to five days, or maybe a month, this will depend on how long Master Qiu takes to destroy Zhong Wen's group." As he spoke, he raised the wine jar once more, took a sip, and continued: "Right now, we are in the same situation as Zhong Wen, trapped by the heavy army.
Shangguan Yuan responded back, then said worriedly. "Milord, what if Ning Jun thinks that he can't defeat Jinhua City and is in a rush to rescue Zhong Wen, choosing to give up on the offensive, and bypass the city instead?"
Tang Yin laughed, and said with certainty: "They would not dare!"
Shangguan Yuan was puzzled and asked, "Why not?"
Tang Yin said: "Putting aside the fact that having concerns is taboo for us to march and fight, just based on our occupation of Jinhua City, and the fact that we have cut off the stronghold's logistics line is unbearable for them. If the four hundred thousand soldiers of the Ning Army want to eat or drink, then how much food do they need? Once the food is cut off, the four hundred thousand soldiers of the Ning Army will not be able to withstand a single blow.
"Oh!" Shangguan Yuan nodded his head. No wonder Ning Jun had obviously been able to bypass the city, but hadn't given up on the Jinhua City. He looked up and down at Tang Yin weirdly, and asked: "Master, you have also learned military strategy?"
Tang Yin was startled, he shook his head and said: "I have not."
"Then how does the lord know all this?"
"Before the troops move, the food will be in advance; the people will not be without business for a while, and the army will not be without food for a day. That's common sense, isn't it? " What he said was a proverb in the modern era, and everyone knew it. However, in that era when people's wisdom was not yet fully developed, how could ordinary people understand this?
Shangguan Yuan scratched his forehead and mumbled, "Common sense? "How come I've never heard of it before? Am I being ignorant or have I not heard of it?" He shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He picked up the jar of wine and began to drink.
Tang Yin glanced at him and shook his head with a smile. However, he had not rested for long before he became lively and energetic again. He looked like a person with the physique of 'One with the Spirit' was truly far from that of an ordinary cultivator. Although he had not consumed much spirit energy on the battlefield and had instead increased it by a lot, it would still take a long time for his physical strength to recover.
The two of them sat at the top of the city wall, drinking wine and eating meat while chatting, until the latter half of the night, when both of them fell asleep on top of the city wall. Due to their high cultivation bases, their vigilance was very high even when they were sleeping. Any slight movement in the wind or grass would be able to wake the two of them up.
Tang Yin's worries were unnecessary. This night, the Ning Army did not launch a night raid, but actually, after a fierce battle for a day, Tang Yin's Feng Army was exhausted. The Ning Army was also in need of rest. The night was calm, and there were no battles. Early the next morning, the great attack of the Ning Army began once again.
This time, Ning Jun Wu Yi was no longer attacking only the North City barrier; he had chosen to attack from the north and south, using more than two hundred thousand men.
If Feng Army was not replenished, and only relied on the remaining thirty thousand soldiers, no matter what, they would not be able to withstand such a fierce attack from Ning Jun's army. However, the timely addition of the young elites of Jinhua City gave Feng Army a life's worth of strength, even though these people had not received any special training, did not know how to fight in close quarters, and did not know how to shoot arrows, they all had a strong fighting spirit, and dared to fight.
With one husband fighting with his life on the line, ten people wouldn't be a match for him. With tens of thousands of Feng Army working together and also a defensive force, let alone the more than two hundred thousand soldiers of the Ning Army who were unable to defeat the Jinhua City, even if the entire army was sent to the battlefield, they might not necessarily be able to gain an advantage.
This battle only lasted until noon, but both sides fought intensely. Countless people died on the battlefield, and a river of blood flowed as corpses piled up like a mountain. The Ning Army had been attacking for the whole morning, but after discovering that there were still enough people on Feng Army and their strong defense, it was difficult for their side to achieve any results, so they hastily retreated.
After the battle, Ning Jun had no choice but to reassess and recognize the Feng Army in the Jinhua City, and had completely dispelled the thought of Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi winning the battle quickly. More importantly, the food in the Ning Army Camp was in a rush, so Ning Jun had no choice but to launch another large-scale attack.
On the second day after the battle, Ning Army Camp was activated, and a group of carriages came out from within with white flags on their backs as they slowly drove towards the southern gate of Jinhua City.
When the carriage was about a hundred meters away from Jinhua City, an arrow suddenly shot down from above the city. Bang! If you continue forward, I will kill you without mercy! "
The coachman anxiously pulled on the reins and stopped the carriage. Soon after, a middle-aged man dressed in a Official Robe robe walked out of the carriage, took two steps forward and shouted towards the city: "I am the envoy of Ning Country.
Before the two armies, the envoys that were sent to the enemy troops were all wearing white flags, and because Feng Army didn't shoot arrows and kill people, they only shot at the foot of the formation.
Hearing this, the city wall became silent for a moment, then someone replied, "Wait a moment!"
The Feng Soldier did not dare delay as she quickly ran down the city wall to report to Tang Yin.
At this time, Tang Yin was resting in his own tent, and Su Yelei was also in the same room as him.
She accepted Tang Yin's invitation and stayed by his side, becoming his special female Medical Officer. In addition, her father Su Mingyang had also joined the Feng Army, becoming a military doctor's Medical Officer.
Su Yelei came to look for Tang Yin to change the medicine on his wound, but Tang Yin rejected him, indicating that his wound had completely recovered. How could Su Yelei believe that? Even though his wounds were only superficial and not serious, they were still knife wounds after all. How could he recover without recuperating for a month or two?
She frowned, looked at Tang Yin, and said: "Master, you don't need to worry about the medicine. There are enough ingredients in the city right now, you're not missing anyone."
Tang Yin did not know whether to laugh or cry. Was he really such a petty person in her eyes? He even needed to save on his own medicine?! He shook his head, took off his clothes, turned around with her back facing Su Yelei, at the same time pointing behind him, he said: "Look at my back, do you see any wounds on my body?"
