Tang Yin was the commander, no matter what his subordinate does, he had to obtain his permission to move, the offense was disadvantageous, and he fell into an ambush. Cheng Jin was indeed at fault, but Tang Yin did not escape the responsibility, on this point, Tang Yin was outstanding, he would never find an excuse to shirk his responsibilities.

After hearing his words, Cheng Jin and the surrounding people were all moved.

As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, admitting his own mistakes in front of his subordinates was not only a matter of courage, but also a matter of magnanimity and magnanimity. It was only a pity that Tang Yin did have courage, but his breadth of mind and bearing was not high. He only did not have a noble or lowly mentality, and did not think that it would be shameful for him to admit his mistakes. From a certain point of view, the current Tang Yin had yet to set himself a very high position.

Since the clear attack did not work, and the night assault failed, Tang Yin had no other choice. He could only listen to Qiu Zhen and wait for his side's supplies to arrive.

The next day, the Directly Subordinate Army did not launch any more attacks, and the County Army which was waiting anxiously for Mao An would also come to reinforce in the future.

Right now, Geng Qiang was still inside the Xibai City, discussing with her subordinates, strategists and Generals whether or not they should listen to Mao An's opinion. Geng Qiang himself was indecisive, the strategists and Generals s below were split into two, one claiming that they would fight, the other arguing that they would fight in the battlefield, and the rest that they wouldn't. Time slowly passed by as the two factions argued.

On the second day, Tang Yin faked an attack. Seeing that the Ji City defense was still as fierce as before, he ordered the main force to retreat, and only sent a small group of soldiers to harass them, so that the enemies would not have peace.

That night, Zong Yuan returned as the logistics supplies had not arrived. He had stayed in the Linqiao for two more days regarding the selection of the County Guardian and Mayor, and now that he had found the right person to do so, he hurried back. After seeing Tang Yin, he first reported the results of his own treatment, and then understood the current battle situation of his own side.

After hearing everyone's explanation, Zong Yuan pondered for a moment, then laughed, and said to Tang Yin: "Master, in truth, taking Ji City is not difficult!"

"Oh?" After hearing his words, everyone present was startled, including Tang Yin. They had already fought with Ji City for three days, but they had not been able to do it for a long time. When Zong Yuan came and said that it would not be difficult to defeat Ji City, his tone was a little too big. Tang Yin laughed and asked: Mr. Zong Yuan, what plans do you have?

"Continue to use Night Assault!" Zong Yuan said confidently.

When everyone heard this, they all frowned. Using a night attack, wasn't that just asking for trouble? So what if Cheng Jin had hidden arrows? Even such a powerful group of Spirit Cultivator of Dark did not get any advantage, who else would they send to attack in the night? Tang Yin shook his head and laughed bitterly: "Master Zong, we have already failed once, do you think that we can still succeed using Night Assault again?"

Zong Yuan laughed and asked: Master, may I ask, how many guards are there in Ji City City?

Tang Yin did not understand the purpose of his question, and frowned: At most, twenty thousand!

"That's right!" It's only twenty thousand people, and we've already been fighting with our army for three days. Their soldiers must be exhausted, so how can they be on high alert all night? " Zong Yuan paused for a moment, looked at everyone, and said: "I can send someone to attack again, but the goal of this group is to throw away the enemy's guard, after defeating our attack, the enemy will definitely not think that there will be a second wave of attack, at that time, this second wave of attack will catch the enemy by surprise!"

After Zong Yuan finished speaking, everyone lowered their heads and pondered. They were all calculating whether Zong Yuan's plan would work or not.

No matter how cunning Mao An was, he would never have predicted that Mao An would be the one to send out the ambushers. Except, the first wave of ambushes would only result in a narrow escape. By carrying out this plan, the losses to their side would be great as well.

Tang Yin naturally thought of this point, and said with furrowed brows: "If we follow the Master Zong's plans, none of the brothers that ambushed them in the first wave would be able to return to our camp alive."

Zong Yuan cupped his hands together and said: "It is worth it to exchange for our victory with a small price. Even if our army's supplies are sent here, there will still be casualties during the large-scale attack, Master, what do you think?"

Hm! Tang Yin secretly nodded, then looked at everyone and said: "Everyone, what do you think?"

Qiu Zhen stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Master Zong is wise, this plan works!"

Regarding Zong Yuan's schemes, Qiu Zhen was also impressed. Actually, both he and Zhang Zhe had developed their skills in terms of overall strategy, but their battle tactics at the moment of exchange were far inferior to Zong Yuan's.

Hearing him agree, Tang Yin no longer hesitated, and said: "Alright! Just follow Master Zong's plan, and when tonight comes, our army will ambush Ji City again! "

"Yes sir!" Everyone stood up and answered in unison.

Tang Yin accepted Zong Yuan's plan and chose a hundred Death Soldier s from the entire army to take on the first wave of sneak attacks, and the Hidden Arrow Crew that Cheng Jin was the leader of to take on the second wave of sneak attacks. What was different from the last time was, Tang Yin personally participated in the battle, indicating his determination to win the battle.

In addition, he had fixed the location of the sneak attack on the back city of Ji City, and had also ordered all of the troops to secretly gather at the camp outside of the city after the Ji City. Including the Beisa Cavalry, as long as they attacked from the front, their own army would be able to immediately charge out of the camp and charge into the city.

After everything had been arranged, Tang Yin called the leaders of the hundred Death Soldier over. This man was a captain, her name was Jiang Chu. She was not a warrior, but she had a strong body and was tall and powerful.

Tang Yin sized him up and asked gently, "Jiang Chu, do you know the danger of this ambush?"

Jiang Chu cupped her hands and said, "Sir, we are outnumbered, and the enemy has already prepared for this ambush. This subordinate has already made up his mind!"

Tang Yin nodded his head, his eyes dimmed as he waved to the side. At this moment, the guard at the side walked towards Jiang Chu with a tray, and handed it over to him. Jiang Chu raised his eyes and saw that the tray was filled with shining gold ingots. Tang Yin said: "Take all of this gold and divide it with the other brothers!"

Jiang Chu had already extended his hand, but immediately retracted it, he raised his head, looked straight at Tang Yin and said: "This subordinate will die for the nation, and will not seek repayment!" Pausing for a moment, he continued, "If you want to be rewarded, please send this gold to our home!"

If there were any other ideas, he would definitely not let these respectable and good soldiers go to their deaths, but in order to quickly break the city, in order to minimize their losses, he had no choice but to make a sacrifice. He sighed in his heart and said, "If you die of misfortune, I will provide for your family so that they will have no worries."

"Thank you, my lord!" "With your words, we will die without regrets!" Hearing this, Jiang Chu knelt down on one knee and saluted with his hands cupped in front of his chest.

Midnight. With Jiang Chu in the lead, a hundred Directly Subordinate Army Death Soldier s sneaked out of the camp and headed straight for the back city of the Ji City.

Looking from the outside, the defenses of the Ji City were extremely relaxed. Not only were there no sentries in the tower, there were also no patrolling soldiers on the city wall. This group of Death Soldier did not encounter any obstructions along the way, and smoothly hid beneath the city walls.

Jiang Chu and the others listened quietly for a while. After confirming that there was no movement on the city wall, they took off the ropes they carried with them, threw the hooks onto the city wall, grabbed the arrowheads, and used their hands and feet to climb up to the top of the city.

If one were to look left and right atop the long city wall, not to mention patrolling soldiers, there wouldn't even be guards standing guard. This kind of lax defense simply didn't seem like it was in the midst of a battle between two armies.

Jiang Chu knew what was going on. He gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He shook his head towards his men and said in a low voice, "Go down the city wall and open the gate!"

The hundred Directly Subordinate Army Soldiers retrieved the ropes and hung them on the inner parts of the city walls. They followed the ropes and quickly climbed down the city walls, entering the city.

Sticking close to the wall, they raised their legs and slowly crept towards the city gate.

Surprisingly, they didn't encounter any ambush from Peng Country at all along the way, and didn't encounter any obstructions, which actually allowed them to smoothly arrive at the city gate entrance. At this time, Jiang Chu could not help but be puzzled. Looking at the city gate supporting them, he mumbled to himself, were the enemies really unprepared? Had their ambush succeeded?

Without time to think, he shook his head, signalling for everyone around him to move the door latch and let their army enter the city. Just as the hundred soldiers were about to move the bolts according to Jiang Chu's orders, from outside the city gate entrance suddenly came the sound of drums, and an ambush troop appeared. Countless red armored Peng Army s surged out from all corners and shadows, and each sword was drawn out from the scabbards, arrows nocked, as though they were facing a great enemy.

"Haha …"

Following a burst of loud laughter, a high-ranking officer walked out from amongst the Peng Army soldiers and shouted loudly, "My Lord had long ago planned to attack our city at night once again! But, one after another, Tang Yin only sent useless trash like them to their deaths, it was truly laughable! If you guys are smart, then obediently put down your weapons and surrender. Otherwise, you will all die a graveless death! "

The General of Peng Country who spoke was none other than one of Mao An's great generals, Lu Qingfeng.

Hearing these words, Jiang Chu and the others were all shocked. They thought to themselves, "This is bad!" Jiang Chu shouted anxiously, "Ignore the enemy, open the gate!"

"Yes sir!"

The soldiers responded in unison when they heard the order. Then, they moved to move the gate's latch.

The city gate was made of pure copper and the latch was also made of copper. It was wide, thick and extremely heavy, it could not be easily moved down, furthermore, Lu Qingfeng would not give them the chance to remove the latch.

Seeing that the other party refused to listen to his advice and was adamant, he sneered, raised his hand, and shouted, "Release the arrows!"

Following his words, the Peng Army Arrows whizzed into the doorways of the city.

The pitiful hundreds of Directly Subordinate Army Death Soldier s, who did not have shields and had nowhere to dodge, were shot by the ruthless arrows in rows after rows like living targets.

His chest, lower abdomen, thighs and arms were pierced with more than ten arrows. Some of the arrows had even pierced through his body, but he did not fall to the ground as he shouted angrily at Lu Qingfeng, "Traitor, your fate will be the same as Zhong Tian's, you will die a miserable death!" Saying that, he raised the blade in his hand and stumbled towards Lu Qingfeng.
