However, how could his movement technique be faster than Zhan Hu's blade? With a pfft sound in his ear, Zhan Hu's blade solidly stabbed into Lu Fan's chest, causing the latter to scream out in pain as he fell onto the ground face up, twitching for a moment before disappearing.
After the blade killed Lu Fan, Zhan Hu had no one who could stop it, he brandished his big machete and slashed and slashed at the Peng Soldier, the hundred plus Peng Soldier s were all slashed into a piece by him in an instant, and even more than a dozen of the catapults were destroyed by him, the remaining soldiers were so scared that their bodies were trembling, they did not dare go forward to fight, and all ran away in panic.
No one could shoot anymore rockets. Following that, Tang Yin led his group and rushed to the other side of the river with almost no obstructions, in one breath, waiting for people to get off the raft, as if they had become ferocious beasts out of their cages. Loud shouts filled the sky, and with raised weapons, they charged towards the camp.
One Shangguan Yuan was already hard enough to deal with, now with the addition of these Feng Army, the remaining Peng Soldier had completely lost their will to resist, they could either turn around and flee, or throw down their weapons and surrender, and the whole camp immediately dispersed. Outside the forest, Feng Army s with bloodshot eyes could be seen everywhere as they madly chased and killed the Peng Army s which were fleeing in all directions. The fierce battle between the two had become a one-sided massacre.
After Tang Yin came ashore, he walked into the forest with Shangguan Yuanwu, Cheng Jin, Cheng Jin and the rest. Everywhere he went, corpses were strewn all over the ground and the majority of them belonged to Peng Army. Tang Yin had stepped on the corpses to enter the Peng Army camp, and here, there were even more corpses, and many of them were incomplete. The corpses were scattered all over the ground, they were caused by the Spirit Martial Skills, and from this, it could be seen that Shangguan Yuan had started a massacre here, god knows how many enemy soldiers he had killed.
Seeing Tang Yin coming over, Shangguan Yuan, whose spirit armour had already been dyed in blood, quickly stepped forward, interposed and bowed, and said: "Sir, this general has not disrespected her mission and lead her brothers to defeat the enemy!"
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded in satisfaction and sized Shangguan Yuan up before saying, "Thank you for your hard work."
"My lord, please be courteous!" As he spoke, Shangguan Yuan dispersed the spirit armor on his body. The moment the spirit armor dispersed, what appeared was no longer white fog, but bright red fog of blood.
Tang Yin looked around the battlefield and asked: "Yuanliang, have you captured any generals of the enemy troops?"
When Shangguan Yuan heard this, he blinked and took a deep breath. He had killed so many men just now that he had completely forgotten to look for the enemy general. He couldn't answer and couldn't say anything for a long while. At this time, Zhan Hu walked up from behind Shangguan Yuan and said respectfully to Tang Yin: "My Lord, the enemy army's general ran away not long after we started fighting with Peng Army."
Phew, so that's how it is! No wonder when he fought the enemy, he felt that there was no one in command! Shangguan Yuan let out a sigh of relief, then turned around and glanced at Zhan Hu gratefully.
Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders and sneered, as he said faintly: "The enemy has run quite fast … Who is he? "
"Zhan Wushuang!" Zhan Hu had just interrogated the person who had surrendered and he already knew who the main commander of the Peng Army was.
"It really is him." Tang Yin nodded, he turned and said to Cheng Jin: "Pass down the order, let the entire army cross the river, we want to set up camp in North Bank."
"Yes!" "My Lord!" Cheng Jin promised as he turned around and left.
Tang Yin then asked Zhan Hu: "Where is the throwing machine for Peng Army?"
Zhan Hu replied, "There are a total of twenty-five of them on the side of the enemy camp. During the battle, I destroyed fifteen of them, and now there are only ten intact."
Oh, Zhan Hu was the one who stopped Peng Army from using the catapult! Tang Yin smiled, and praised: "Zhan Hu, well done."
Shangguan Yuan was the leader of the sneak attack. He fought bravely and did his best, but Zhan Hu actually praised and praised Zhan Hu in the end. That was why he had to use his full strength on the blade, otherwise it would just be useless. It was a good thing that Shangguan Yuan didn't care about this. He felt that it was worth it to be able to wash away his shame in this fight and avenge the deaths of his brothers.
In this battle, the casualties in Feng Army weren't great, only about a thousand or so people were present. However, the number of deaths and injuries in Peng Soldier was uncountable, and there were at least seven to eight thousand people, so the number of Peng Army s that actually followed Zhan Wushuang out of the arena were less than two thousand.
Next, Tang Yin's target was the Gaochuan County. Five hundred wooden rafts, and each time, they would only be able to transport ten thousand or so people. Adding to the food and supplies that came with the army, they were all transported to the other side, and even if they were to continuously transport day and night, it would still take two or three days.
Making use of this idle time, Tang Yin rested and recuperated while searching for information on Zhangyu.
Because of the battle of North Bank, more and more captives of Peng Army were captured, and it became easier to understand the situation of Zhangyu.
The highest ranking captive officer was a deputy general named Xiao Xin. This person did not have any real skills or knowledge, only sitting in the deputy general position because he was close to Xiao Shang.
That night, Tang Yin got Cheng Jin to bring him into his tent, so he could personally investigate the situation within the Zhangyu City.
Xiao Xin looked to be in his early thirties, his body was not tall, his skin was dark, and he could be considered good-looking. Right now, he had been tied up by all sorts of factors, and Cheng Jin directly dragged him into the tent from the outside. Xiao Xin could not stand up anymore. He fell to the ground and pouted his butt, unable to stand back up for a long while.
Seeing that his clothes were tattered and had traces of blood on them, Tang Yin knew that he must have been hit by his own brothers' whips and kicks.
He smiled and asked: "Your name is Xiao Xin?"
Both of Xiao Xin's hands were tied behind his back. He did not have much strength left, and was still struggling on the ground to stand up. Cheng Jin walked over from the outside, and when he was near, he grabbed onto the back of's neck and shouted: "Get up!" While speaking, he directly lifted Xiao Xin up and then kicked his knees horizontally again. Xiao Xin cried out in fear, and he could not help but kneel on the ground.
At this time, Xiao Xin raised his head, and looked at where he was.
In the center of the large tent was a soft, flat area with a person lying flat on it. This person was very young, only in his twenties or so, and had a face as white as jade. His facial features were deep, and his features were handsome.
Behind him were two generals with the same stature and armor. Even their appearances were exactly the same, as if they were two people made from the same mold. However, these two held long spears in their hands and had gloomy expressions. They stood there without any anger, and their killing intent was overflowing.
After Xiao Xin finished reading, he secretly inhaled and felt that the identity of this young man in front of him was not simple. He swallowed his saliva and nodded repeatedly as he replied, "This one … This humble one is Xiao Xin, I wonder who this general is? "
"I am Tang Yin!" Tang Yin replied smilingly.
"Ah …" Xiao Xin's body trembled, and his kneeling body went limp, almost falling to the ground on the spot. So this young man was actually the famous Tang Yin! What did he want from me? Could it be … Xiao Xin shuddered, his mouth opened, and tears flowed out, as he said with a choked voice: "Master, I was just following orders, there was no other way, I laid in ambush at the north shore, it was all Zhan Wushuang's idea, it had nothing to do with me! "Milord, have mercy, please have mercy …"
Looking at Xiao Xin who kept begging for mercy, crying until his nose was snot and tears, Tang Yin laughed in his heart. This man was another one who was afraid of death!
He held up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "Xiao Xin, you don't have to be afraid. I didn't say that I would kill you, but of course, whether or not you can keep your life will all depend on yourself."
"Whatever you want me to do, I will definitely cooperate with you!" When Xiao Xin heard that he still had a chance of survival, his mind shook and he quickly replied.
"Yes!" Tang Yin replied in satisfaction and waved his hand at Cheng Jin, saying, "Release him."
"Yes sir!" Cheng Jin went forward and quickly untied the ropes tied around Xiao Xin's body. Xiao Xin's arms had finally regained their freedom, and he couldn't help but stretch out his numb arms a few times. Then, he kneeled on the ground and kowtowed to Tang Yin.
"What is your relationship with Xiao Shang?" Tang Yin casually asked.
Xiao Xin hurriedly said, "This lowly one and Xiao Shang are from the same clan, according to our seniority, he is this lowly one's uncle."
"It's the imperial clansmen!"
"Yes, my lord." Xiao Xin carefully replied: "Actually … In fact, this little one advised Xiao Shang to not go against the Imperial Court, but Xiao Shang was stubborn, and did not listen to this little one's advice at all. Instead, he had to punish this little one's crimes.
Humph! A vile person who knows how to speak! How could Tang Yin be a mediocre person? One could tell that he was just spouting nonsense the moment he heard it, but he did not expose him.
"Yes, yes! Master, I have always been loyal to the imperial government and am completely loyal to the imperial government.
"Very good, then tell me, how many guards are there in the Zhangyu, how are the city's defenses, and what are the grain reserves?" Tang Yin asked in quick succession.
It was true that Xiao Xin was a vile character, but he was even more afraid of death.
He stammered: "The Zhangyu had originally been guarded by thirty thousand people, other than the ten thousand that were guarding the northern border of the Pan River, there are still at least twenty thousand more people in the city. Furthermore, I heard that Master has led an army into the county, and Xiao Shang has transferred troops from all the towns in the city, after these many days, I presume that the number of people defending the Zhangyu has increased by ten to twenty thousand. The Gaochuan County has always been a large county which produces grain, and most of the grain in the entire county is also concentrated in Provincial Capital. The barns in the Provincial Capital are almost filled up with grain, and even if a few hundred thousand soldiers were to eat it for a few months, it would not be a problem. "
Speaking till this point, Xiao Xin took a peek at Tang Yin's reaction, seeing that he was serious and nodding his head from time to time, Xiao Xin secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and continued: "The Zhangyu's defense was originally strong, and with Zhan Wudi personally supervising it later on, I believe that the city defense is now even stronger, if Master leads the troops to attack, it will not be easy to win, other than that …."
