After successfully recruiting the white headed army, the wind army continued to march towards Shangwan.
That night, Tang Yin did nothing in the camp. Thinking of Qi Heng who had just returned to the army today, he didn't know whether he was suitable in the army, so he went to Qi Heng's camp immediately.
There was still a long way to go to Qiheng's camp. Tang Yin heard bursts of noise. I don't know what happened. Tang Yin accelerated his pace and looked inside Qiheng's camp. Well, it's not lively inside. There are more than ten people sitting or standing. They are talking and laughing.
Seeing Tang Yin's sudden arrival, all the people in the account were in a daze. Their bodies were stiff, as if they had been set, and they didn't move. Ah San and ah Si behind Tang Yin shouted in a deep voice, "don't you salute when you see the king?"
The people returned to their senses, put down their bowls and chopsticks, got up quickly, bowed and saluted, and said in unison, "king!"
"You don't have to be polite!" Tang Yin waved her hand with a smile and looked around at the crowd.
Now Qi Heng and his brothers have changed into the military uniforms of the wind army. It seems that Jing is a lot better. Before Tang Yin could speak, ah San said coldly, "don't you know? Drinking is strictly prohibited in the army!"
Qi Heng picked it up from the corner of his mouth, calmly picked up the bowl from the table, waved it and threw it directly at ah San. Ah San also reacted quickly. At the moment when the bowl hit in front of him, he raised his hand to catch the bowl, and then stared at Qi Heng. The latter said with a smile: "this general, smell carefully. We drink tea, not wine!"
Ah San frowned and sniffed. There was really no taste of wine, only the aroma of tea. Tang Yin took the bowl in a San's hand, walked up to Qi Heng and asked with a smile, "what kind of tea do you drink? Give me a bowl."
Unexpectedly, Tang Yin wanted to drink tea in his own bowl. Qi Heng was stunned, and then said, "I'll help the king change a new bowl."
"Don't bother so much." Tang Yin shook her head and sat down with Xing at the table.
Tang Yin has no airs. Qi Heng's generous attitude greatly increases his favor. He takes over the tea bowl, personally fills Tang Yin with tea, and says, "this is the bitter tea we brought ourselves, and I don't know if the king can get used to it..."
Before he finished, Tang Yin took the tea bowl and drank the tea in it. A famous soldier timidly said, "don't you think tea is bitter?"
Tang Yin said, "the first bite is bitter, and then the more you drink, the sweeter it becomes." Then he handed the tea bowl to Qi Heng and said, "another bowl."
Seeing this, everyone in the account was happy, including Qi Heng. Qi Heng helped Tang Yinsheng with tea and said, "I thought the king would not be used to this kind of crude tea."
Tang Yin smiled calmly and said, "next, our army will attack Shang Wan and Qi Heng. I hope you can show more in this war."
Qi Heng handed Tang Yin the full tea bowl. Zheng s è said, "please rest assured, your subordinates will go all out."
Tang Yin youyou said, "in our army, there has never been a commander who can command more than 3000 subordinates. If you can make contributions in the Shang Wan World War I, I can legitimately promote you to the head of the army. Don't let me down!"
This made the people present Jing God excited and showed their joy s è at the same time. They are not only the subordinates of Qi Heng, but also the brothers who have followed Qi Heng for many years. Qi Heng can be the head of the army, and their status can be promoted accordingly. People were surprised and delighted. They turned their heads and looked at Qi Heng.
Qi Heng was also very surprised. He was just a soldier from reckless origin. He didn't expect the king of wind to pay so much attention to him. He was stunned for a moment, then arched his hands, bowed and said loudly, "my subordinates will never let the king down."
"That's great! With your strength, as long as you keep it in time, your achievements in the future will be far higher than those of the regiment commander!" Tang Yin put down the empty bowl, stood up and said to the crowd, "all of you have an early rest. Our army will continue on its way tomorrow."
Seeing that Tang Yin was leaving, the people got up one after another and bowed their hands and said, "congratulations to the king!"
Seeing Tang Yin leave, the crowd gathered around Qi Heng and said, "brother Qi, it seems that we are right to take refuge in Feng Jun. Feng Wang attaches great importance to brother Qi!"
"Yes, not only come to visit in person, but also raise some elder brother Qi!"
Qi Heng listens and laughs, Disapprovingly, he proudly said: "if I go to the battlefield, I can take the head of the enemy among the ten thousand armies. It's reasonable for King Feng to value me. But then again, the Feng army is really stronger than the Mo army, and the Feng king is much better than the fool Jing Shaofang! Brothers, you can rest assured that our position in the Feng army will only be higher and higher, and no one will dare to bully us in the future!" Everyone grinned at the speech.
Shangwan, the capital of Anqiu County.
Shangwan is a big city with a history of hundreds of years. However, due to the backward economy and non strategic importance of Anqiu County, Shangwan appears to be dilapidated. Many parts of the city wall are weathered and in disrepair for a long time. It is only supported by wooden piles that it can be stabilized and not collapse. As for the moat outside the city, it is even more pitiful. The river has long dried up, leaving only a gap around the city, which can not resist the enemy at all. Shang Wan's city defense can only be described as unbearable, and there are only twenty or thirty thousand defenders in the city. Attacking such a city is no difficulty for the wind army.
After Tang Yin's army arrived at Shangwan, he only made a short pause, and then ordered the whole army to attack Shangwan.
Qi Heng, who had just returned to the wind, was the first to fight. Qi Heng rode on a tall horse and held a nine turn soul breaking knife. He swaggered back and forth outside the north city of Shangwan. At the same time, he shouted, "Gao Guan, don't be a shrinking turtle, go out of the city and die!"
Looking at Qi Heng attacking the enemy in front of the two armies, Qiu Zhen turned to Tang Yin and said, "Your Majesty, do you really want to send Qi Heng to take the lead? He just returned to our army. I'm afraid his heart is different!"
Tang Yin nodded and said, "the battle of Shang Wan can just verify whether he sincerely takes refuge in our army!" He has already said that it's up to him to raise some points. How to behave depends on his own.
Seeing that Tang Yin was full of confidence, Qiu Zhen knew that he had made a clear understanding and would not say more.
Others may not know Qi Heng, but Gao Guan, the head of Anqiu County, knows him very well. As the largest bandit in Anqiu County, the white headed army has long been a thorn in Gao Guan's eye and rou. He also sent troops to encircle and suppress several times, and all of them were defeated. Especially when he personally led the army, he almost died by Qi Heng's knife. Now I see Qi Heng coming with the wind army to help the wind Army take the lead. Standing in the high crown at the head of the city, I feel cold in my heart. I don't need to ask. Qi Heng must have taken refuge in the wind army. I'm afraid this war will be more dangerous and less auspicious.
Gao Guan took two steps forward, holding the arrow buttress in his hand, shouted out of the city: "Qi Heng, although you were born in a rash, you are mo people after all. Now you turn the spear and help the wind people kill Mo people. Do you still know the word integrity and shame? What you have done will disgrace all the ancestors under the nine springs!"
"Shut up!" Qi Heng was so angry that he raised his knife and pointed to the high crown on the city, He shouted: "No one can bully me, humiliate me or tolerate me, but the king of wind is kind to me. Why is it wrong for me to be loyal to the king of wind? Besides, the king of wind is ordered by the son of heaven to fight against bad officials. If you help the king, you will die sooner or later. Open the city m é N and surrender with your weapons. Otherwise, hey hey, hey, don't blame me for being ruthless under the horizontal sword and killing all your traitors!"
"The thief is hateful and stubborn. Since you are willing to be the running dog of the wind country, you can use whatever skills you have!" Gao Guan patted down the arrow stack, stepped back two steps and ignored Qi Heng.
Shang Wan didn't have any intention of going out of the city to fight. He assumed the posture of guarding the city. Tang Yin didn't delay any more. He gave orders and beat drums to attack the city.
With Tang Yin's order, the wind army camp drums rose everywhere, the roar was deafening, and all the soldiers moved forward together.
"Wind, wind, wind -"
In the process of advancing the wind army camp, the soldiers fought with weapons against the shield and shouted loudly. The soldiers of all formations and regiments almost walked at the same pace. Every step forward, they made a loud noise like thunder, and the tremor of the ground could be clearly felt even a mile away.
Soon, the wind army pushed into the SH è of Shang Wan. Before Mo Jun released his arrow, the wind army's arrow array had been launched first. The roar of the commander of the Shang army continued to rise from the top of the camp like the wind.
Crackling - the city wall of Shang Wan seems to be hailing, and the crisp sound is continuous, which is surrounded by the screams of the gentry in the stream arrow sh è. In the blink of an eye, the northern city wall of Shang Wan was covered with dense black s è arrow feathers.
This is just the beginning of the wind army attack, followed by the attack of stone riprap machine and broken city crossbow. Falling stones and crossbows constantly hit the city defense of Shang Wan. Each impact made the city wall of Shang Wan shake in bursts.
Under the strong attack of the wind army, Shang Wan's garrison didn't even want to find a place in the city, let alone fight back. The local army, which had never experienced a large-scale war, was completely defeated by the fierce attack of the wind army before it came into direct contact with the wind army. There was no morale at all. A large number of soldiers fled under the wall screaming and wailing. They shrank under the wall and trembled with weapons. Now let alone let them fight and work hard, even if it is very difficult for them to stand up.
On one side are the 80000 to 90000 strong Jing Rui central army and on the other are the 20000 to 30000 strong local army. The gap in strength between the two sides can no longer be made up by the poor urban defense of Shang Wan. It can be said that the battle has become a one-sided situation from the beginning.
Qi Heng had been instructed by Tang Yin and was eager to do meritorious service. Now he saw that the wind army was in full advantage, and the local army of Shang Wan was simply vulnerable. He was more confident. He urged his horse to rush forward and directly rushed to the foot of Shang Wan City in one breath. Seeing that the wind army behind him had not caught up, he turned back and shouted, "rush! Push the rush up and hit the city m é n for me
