After hearing Tang Yin's surname, the faces of the Peng Soldier s changed drastically. They subconsciously took a few steps back, looked at each other, and ran up the mountain at the same time.
Looking at the quickly running backs of the Peng Soldier s, Tang Yin shook his head and laughed. He was not a tiger, why would he be so scared after hearing his name?
He was not a tiger, but in the eyes of the Peng Army s, Tang Yin was more terrifying than a tiger.
A few Peng Soldier s ran back to the camp on the mountain top and hurriedly reported to Zi Ying.
When Zi Ying heard that Tang Yin had come, he was also startled. He did not expect that Tang Yin would pay so much attention to him, to actually come personally to submit. The other Generals s inside the Central Army Tent were both surprised and satisfied that Tang Yin was able to come personally, and they secretly nodded their heads. Zi Ying stood up, tidying the armor on his body, and asked: How many troops did Tang Yin bring?
"This …" Several Peng Soldier s did not answer immediately.
Seeing that, Zi Ying frowned, and asked again: How many troops have you brought?
"Oh …" General! The other person... "There's less than twenty of them …"
"What?" After hearing this, not only was Zi Ying shocked, even the other generals were unable to react in time. Tang Yin actually dared to go up the mountain with only a dozen or so people? Did he go mad or did he go stupid? Perhaps his guts were just too big?
"This... Are you sure you didn't mishear me? Is that person really Tang Yin? " A deputy general asked in disbelief.
Several soldiers nodded and replied, "That's right!" He definitely didn't hear wrong! The other party was indeed claiming to be Tang Yin, and had only brought around a dozen or so people up the mountain. The soldiers did not know Jiang Lou's exact identity and treated him as an old friend.
Jiang Lou had also returned. From this, one could tell that the other party's identity was not fake. Zi Ying was surprised that Tang Yin was able to personally come to take over the mission, but he admired Tang Yin's courage and boldness from the bottom of his heart. He took a deep breath and picked up the General Seal from the table, then said to the people around him: "Let's go and meet this Tang Yin who has been admiring his reputation for a long time!"
"Yes!" "General!"
The generals followed Zi Ying out of the Central Army Tent and headed straight out of the camp. Tang Yin only brought a dozen or so people with him, but Zi Ying and the others led over ten thousand Peng Soldier s out of the main camp.
Tang Yin and the rest who were standing halfway up the mountain saw the pressure from the Peng Army rushing out from the camp on the mountain, and their hearts tensed up. Wu Guang moved closer to Tang Yin, and said in a low voice: "Master, something's wrong, should we retreat first …"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Tang Yin waved his hand and said with a smile: "Since you're here, then be at ease. If the enemy really wants to harm us, they will not send their troops out first. " The most powerful weapons used by Peng Army at the peak of the mountain were the car dash and the rock barrage. If they truly wanted Tang Yin to die, they would have to first release these two items before they could be surrounded and annihilated by a large group of soldiers.
Wu Guang thought about it carefully, what Tang Yin had said made sense, but he did not dare let his guard down. He raised his hand and placed it on the sword at his waist, and turned his head to signal Zhan Hu, Brother Shangguan and the others with his eyes, telling them to prepare for battle. Receiving Wu Guang's instructions, Brother Shangguan immediately stood at Tang Yin's left and right sides, protecting him, while Zhan Hu raised his sledgehammer and rushed to Tang Yin's side, like a god blocking the door.
Not long after, Zi Ying led the group to the halfway point of the mountain and raised his head to take a look. There were only a dozen people in front of him, and Jiang Lou was alone, and among them, he was looking at the other people, and there were a few robust looking generals wearing armor, and in the middle of the group, stood a young man wearing silk clothing, with handsome features and a dignified appearance. He had a natural smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth were raised, and his face was filled with an unperturbed expression.
However, Zi Ying did not ignore the Evil Qi that was seeping out from the youth's body.
Could it be that this man was the commander of Tianyuan Army, Tang Yin? Thinking about that, Zi Ying rushed forward a few steps, and when he was still five or six meters away from Tang Yin, he stopped, stared at Tang Yin for a moment, then raised his battle robe and armor, kneeled on one knee, raised the hand he was holding onto his head, and said: "Submit Zi Ying, greet Master Tang!"
When Zi Ying was sizing up Tang Yin, Tang Yin was sizing him up too. Originally, Tang Yin thought that since Zi Ying was so adept at using troops, he must be a cunning old general. Unexpectedly, Zi Ying was only in his thirties, although not considered handsome, he was also very rough, and gave off a strong sense of masculinity.
At the same time Zi Ying kneeled down, Tang Yin had already went over to Zhan Hu. He walked over to him with large strides, and did not receive the handprint, but used both hands to support Zi Ying's arm, and at the same time said with a smile: "General Zi Ying is too polite, please quickly get up!"
He never thought that Tang Yin, who was rumored to be extremely cruel and crafty, would be so polite. Zi Ying was a little unable to recover from his shock, and after he stood up and met Tang Yin's gaze, he was rendered speechless.
Tang Yin laughed and said, "On the battlefield, the leaders of each of us were enemies at the time, and now that General Zi Ying has come, you and I are brothers in robes. Between brothers, there's naturally no need to be so courteous. "
His words moved Zi Ying, and he said with a trembling voice: "Master, your magnanimity is something I admire. I am just a lowly general and a criminal general; I truly cannot endure the treatment of an adult! "Moreover …"
Zi Ying had only surrendered to Tianyuan Army and was now a captive of Tianyuan Army. He wanted to explain this matter to them, but Tang Yin had already started laughing and shaking his hand, and said: "In my opinion, General Zi Ying is not a general, nor a criminal general. Instead, he is a wise general who values the overall situation, values the tens of thousands of people in Feng Country above all, and is also a good general who is skilled in the art of governing and in the art of war.
Tang Yin had already seen Zi Ying's capabilities, and admired his talent. Now that Zi Ying had surrendered, how could Tang Yin miss such an opportunity, he naturally had to take him in as his subordinate. If he could successfully recruit Zi Ying, then would have another capable general under his command.
Hearing Tang Yin's praise, Zi Ying couldn't help but blush, as he appeared to be at a loss of what to do. Furthermore, Tang Yin had described his surrender as a surrender, a one word difference that was a thousand miles away made him not know whether to laugh or cry.
Tang Yin chuckled as he looked at him, his gaze slowly falling down and looking at the General Seal in Zi Ying's hand. The General Seal was the Soldier Symbol. With the General Seal, Zi Ying would be the commander in chief of the entire army. At this time, Tang Yin was considering whether he should accept this General Seal.
However, if they did not accept it, they would be dismissed and they would appear to be too heartless. Thinking about it, Tang Yin's eyes lit up, as the saying goes, there was no doubt about it, there was no need to suspect it, and since he wanted to win over Zi Ying, he might as well do it quickly. Without using his military power, he could just let him continue to be the commander of the ten thousand Peng Soldier, and at the end, there would not be many people who could pose a threat to him.
After thinking about it, Tang Yin pushed the hand seal in his hand towards his chest, and said: "General Zi Ying, please put it away!"
Ah? Zi Ying was startled, he did not understand the meaning of Tang Yin's words, was he not planning to accept their surrender? Zi Ying immediately frowned.
Tang Yin said: "Since General Zi Ying is leading the troops, these soldiers should naturally be under General Zi Ying's command."
Aiya! After hearing these words, Zi Ying and his trusted aides and disciples behind him all took a deep breath, and surrendered to Tang Yin. However, Tang Yin did not take away one of their soldiers, how much trust did they need? In the eyes of the crowd, this was simply too inconceivable.
"Large... "Master, you must be joking!" No matter how magnanimous Tang Yin was, it was impossible for him to do it to such an extent. Zi Ying looked at Tang Yin in disbelief and asked suspiciously.
Tang Yin laughed: "In the army, there is no such thing as a joke. Moreover, as the commander of the entire army, how can I be a child's play? "
Zi Ying was startled for a moment, then quickly passed the hand seal back to Tang Yin, and said sternly: "I am grateful for master's trust in me, but, I have not …."
I have no plans to rely on you, my lord. However, Zi Ying did not speak the latter half of his sentence, and he was interrupted by him again. The latter stopped smiling and said faintly: "Right now, we are in the middle of a nation's crisis, it is unknown how many citizens were affected by the flames of war and died tragically. Is General Zi Ying really that concerned about the life and death of my people? Could it be that General Zi Ying really wants to stand idly by the side and watch at this critical moment of the nation's survival? "
These two questions rendered Zi Ying speechless. Tang Yin pushed the seal back to Zi Ying and said: "I believe that General Zi Ying is definitely not such a person, so, I believe that you want to take it back, and fight alongside me, for my wind, for the citizens of Feng Country, and for us, to do our duty as people of the Wind!"
Ah!" Zi Ying let out a long sigh and silently felt ashamed in his heart. He was much older than Tang Yin and had always been proud and loyal, but the difference between him and Tang Yin was like the sky and the earth. He was only loyal to one person, but Tang Yin was loyal to the country and the common people. That was the righteousness of a country, and the two were incomparable.
If it was said that he was just surprised by Tang Yin's series of unexpected actions earlier, then now, he was completely convinced of his sincerity.
Zi Ying no longer acted modestly, he carefully put the stamp back inside the armor. He then adjusted the armor on his body, lifted the Battle Armor on his body, and once again knelt in front of Tang Yin, enunciating every word: "General Zi Ying, is willing to use the whip to fall from the stirrup for Master!"
His subordinates, the Member and the Peng Soldier all knelt to the ground and shouted in unison, "We are willing to serve you with dog or horse!"
Seeing that, Tang Yin was extremely happy, he anxiously extended his hand to support Zi Ying, and at the same time, waved his hand at the others: "Everyone, there is no need to be so courteous, quickly get up!"
