Zhong Tian fled south with Ning Jun'er, the Heavenly Eagle Army chasing him relentlessly. The situation was critical and tragic to the extreme.

Not only did he leave behind all his remaining supplies, even Zhong Tian's family and concubines were separated by quite a bit. In the end, only his main wife was left by his side, and if Zhong Tian was like that, the situation of the Peng Chen below could be imagined.

This group of defeated soldiers ran southwards from the Feng City, and ran a full two hundred kilometers in one night. Not to mention the humans, even the military horses were tired and foaming at the mouth. They couldn't even stand up on their knees. When the sky gradually brightened, Ning Jun and Peng Army were so tired that they no longer had the strength to run. But fortunately, Heavenly Eagle Army had also stopped chasing after and killing at this time.

Ning Jun and Peng Army were tired, and their Heavenly Eagle Army were also exhausted beyond recognition. There were no longer any military uniforms left in the entire army, and many of their Feng Army s were bare-chested, chasing after the enemy while bare-chested. In addition, Zi Ying had also received a message from Tang Yin, telling him to not venture any further. He would temporarily halt his pursuit and set up camp there to rest.

Receiving Tang Yin's order, Zi Ying did not dare to disobey, and after an entire night of chasing after his enemies, Generals And Soldiers of Self Army was indeed exhausted. He originally thought that it would take at least one or two days for his reinforcements to arrive, but unexpectedly, the reinforcements arrived in just half a day.

There weren't many reinforcements, only around ten thousand people, and they were all light cavalry soldiers.

The leader of this light cavalry was none other than Tang Yin who had sent this message to Zi Ying.

He was accompanied by Shangguan Yuanyang, Yuanwu, Yuanbiao and the three brothers, as well as Zhan Hu, Le Tian, Ai Jia, Wu Mei and Wu Ying. He had basically eliminated the main forces of the Ning Army and the Peng Army. However, it was not as if he did not lose anything on his side, as there were tens of thousands of casualties on the side. Furthermore, the great general Wu Guang was heavily injured, while Zhu Nuo had also died in front of the two armies.

When Zi Ying heard the news that Tang Yin had personally come, he who was sitting in the Central Army Tent immediately stood up, strode out, and led his subordinates who were deputy generals and regiment leaders out of the camp to welcome him.

Seeing the tired Tang Yin, without saying a word, Zi Ying kneeled on the ground, cupped his hands, and said: "Sin, greetings to the Lord!" As his subordinate, Zhu Nuo had died by Zhan Wudi's hands. Zi Ying felt that he should be blamed for his death, hence he called himself a criminal general.

Tang Yin looked down at Zi Ying, the latter was normally very careful with his appearance, his hair was combed neatly, the armor on his body was wiped so clean that not even a speck of dust would stick, and now that he looked at Zi Ying again, his hair was in a mess, his beard was tied up, his face was completely black and covered with filth, the armor on his body could not even be seen its original color.

Sigh! After Tang Yin finished reading it, he sighed inwardly. Zhu Nuo was his old subordinate, he understood Zhu Nuo's character too well. Zhu Nuo had always been straightforward and impulsive, he did not know how strong Zhan Wudi was, how could you, Zi Ying, not know? There were so many generals in the Heavenly Eagle Army, why did he insist on letting Zhu Nuo go out to fight Zhan Wudi? Wasn't this clearly asking Zhu Nuo to die? But now that he saw Zi Ying's miserable state, the grievances Tang Yin felt towards him had subsided quite a bit. Standing on the spot, he lowered his head to look at Zi Ying who was kneeling in front of him, and was speechless for a long time.

Tang Yin did not speak, but Zi Ying did not dare to stand up, the deputy generals and regiment commanders under his command did not even dare to breathe loudly, the scene was extremely quiet, and the stifling pressure made it hard for people to breathe.

Seeing that, Wu Mei quietly pulled on's sleeves, and looked at him with a questioning gaze.

Tang Yin bit his lips, lowered his body, extended his hand to help Zi Ying up, and said indifferently: "What is General Zi Ying doing, what crime do you have?"

His words made Zi Ying feel even more uncomfortable, and his heart felt even more nervous. His body sank, he knelt on the ground and remained motionless, then said softly: "It was my mistake that caused General Zhu Nuo to injure Zhan Wudi's hand … …"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Tang Yin used a little strength in his arms to prop up the kneeling Zi Ying. At the same time, he said faintly with his eyes slightly red: "Although Zhu Nuo and I have only known each other for a year, we are still as close as brothers. Zhu Nuo is an only son, he has an old father, an old mother, and a young wife. Today, he died before the battle, how can I explain it to his family? General Zi Ying is not at fault, the one at fault is me. "

Hearing this, Zi Ying's body trembled, his knees went soft, and he was about to kneel again. But Tang Yin's palm that was holding onto his arm did not loosen, grabbing onto his body tightly, preventing him from kneeling down. He looked at Zi Ying and said with a wry smile, "If the vat is not broken, then it is inevitable that a great general will die before the battle. Since he has chosen to submit his duty to the army, and death or injury is unavoidable, General Zi Ying does not need to blame himself too much. "

As he said that, he looked at the generals around him and said seriously: "I do not know or know any of you, but since you are all members of the Tianyuan Army, then you are all my brothers, and no matter who it is, if you all were to die in front of the two armies, I would be sad, but I believe that we all do not fear death, including General Zhu Nuo. "Today, every drop of our sweat, every drop of our blood will not be for nothing. It will condense into a pillar that will support my rise and last for generations!"

His words were sonorous and forceful, moving every commander and every soldier present.

Tang Yin's gaze was like lightning, the redness in his eyes had also disappeared, he took a deep breath, raised his arm, and bellowed: Wind — — "

"Wind!" Wind! Wind! "Great gale!"

Everyone's blood was boiling as they waved their arms and shouted together. Even the soldiers outside who did not hear Tang Yin's words were affected and they followed along to shout. The sound of the wind whistled incessantly.

No one could guarantee that they would not be able to win for long. Inevitably, there would be deaths and injuries, and Tang Yin's words were an encouragement to the soldiers in the army, and they were also an encouragement to himself.

"Milord …" Zi Ying looked at the jade-faced Tang Yin, his heart rippling with emotions, compared to the selfish Zhong Tian and the other ministers, Tang Yin was indeed much stronger. It could be said that it was the fortune of a general to be able to assist such a lord. It was also the fortune of the entire army.

Hearing the continuous cheers of the soldiers, Tang Yin heaved a sigh of relief. The grief and indignation in his heart at Zhu Nuo's death lessened by quite a bit.

He looked at Zi Ying, but did not scold him. Instead, he praised, "In this battle, General Zi Ying's leadership was excellent, not losing out to the enemy at all.

One had to know that the Ning Army had a valiant general like Zhan Wudi, and it was a war of attrition. Being able to fight to such an extent with Heavenly Eagle Army, and causing Ning Jun to be in such a sorry state, was already far beyond Tang Yin's expectations. Of course, if Zhu Nuo did not die, this battle could be said to be perfect.

When Zi Ying heard this, he could not stop his tears from dripping down.

Tang Yin smiled, held Zi Ying's wrist, and said while walking towards the Central Army Tent: "Whoever has meritorious deed has done so, I will naturally understand, so General Zi Ying does not need to be modest anymore." Tang Yin might not like Zi Ying a lot, but he admired Zi Ying's capabilities. In terms of direction and adaptability, even Xiao Muqing might not be able to compare to him.

In their minds, Tang Yin was still stuck in the same position as when he had just joined the army as the commander. He was unrelenting and unruly, and only now did the two sisters suddenly realize that Tang Yin had already become mature, stable and wise, and was able to control the emotions of the people around him.

Upon entering the Central Army Tent, Tang Yin, Zi Ying and the rest all sat down.

At this time, Tang Yin's face became serious, and he asked: "What's the situation on Zhong Tian's side?"

Through the Sky Eye and Earth Web, he had already understood the situation of the Ning Jun and the Peng Army, but he wanted to hear Zi Ying's analysis.

Zi Ying stood up immediately and answered respectfully: "Currently, the total military strength of the Ning Army and the Peng Army is no more than twenty thousand, and there is an extreme shortage of supplies and food in the military. According to the time taken, they should have already escaped to the vicinity of the Jian City, if there were no accidents, I think Zhong Tian would enter the Jian City to rest for the time being. Jian City is only fifty kilometers away from the location of our tribe. If we advance now, we can reach there before it gets dark.

Tang Yin listened and nodded. He turned and said to Shangguan Yuanwu: "Give me the map."

Shangguan Yuanwu promised as he retrieved the map from the guard and unfurled it, placing it on the table in front of Tang Yin.

Even if Zi Ying had his eyes closed, he was still familiar with the area of the Feng Country. He looked at the map and searched carefully. After looking for a while, he muttered to himself, "The Jian City is here …"

"Yes, my lord!" Zi Ying moved closer, and pointed to the Jian City above, then explained: "We are currently here."

"Yes!" Tang Yin asked: "Who is the Mayor?"

Zi Ying did not even think about it, and replied: "It's Qiu Yue."

"Qiu Yue?" In the past, when Tang Yin was regiment commander, he had passed by the Jian City and met the Jian City and Mayor s. After hearing Zi Ying's explanation, he immediately thought of this person. He faintly said: "If I remember correctly, before Zhong Tian usurped the throne, this person was already the Jian City's Mayor."

"My lord is wise. That is indeed the case." Zi Ying cupped his hands together in praise.

Tang Yin laughed and said, "In that case, this Qiu Yue should not be Zhong Tian's direct descendant, so he can be used." After he finished speaking, he looked at Le Tian and Ai Jia, and asked: "So far, has Zhong Tian's Broken Sect been able to enter the Jian City?"

"Not yet!" Le Tian said: "Sir, we just received the report, Zhong Tian's rebel army is resting at a place five kilometers away from the Jian City."

"Very good!" Hearing that, Tang Yin smiled, and then said to Zi Ying: "General Zi Ying, in my name, write a letter of advice to Qiu Yue, urging him to surrender to our army, and reject Zhong Tian's remnants of troops from entering the city."
