On the other hand, Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi, who are still attacking Tongmen, also heard the news that Yancheng is in an emergency and Zhong Tian retreats to Wancheng.

The military counselors came one after another to find Zhan Wushuang and suggested to him to withdraw immediately and return to Yancheng.

Zhan Wushuang frowned and didn't answer immediately. From his heart, he didn't want to give up halfway. Besides, Tongmen is too important and must be recaptured from the Tianyuan army. Otherwise, his side will become an isolated army in the wind, without logistics support and rear reinforcement. The situation is extremely unfavorable.

Seeing that Zhan Wushuang was still hesitant, a counselor asked, "is the general sure to lay down Tongmen?"

"This......" Zhan matchless pondered. There is Shangguan yuanrang among the enemy troops in Tongmen, and there is nothing you can deal with just this person.

"If the general is not sure, he must withdraw immediately and assist Zhong Tian to guard Yancheng. Otherwise, if Yancheng is lost, our army will be trapped between Yancheng and Tongmen. We can't advance or retreat. The whole army is in danger!"

Ah! After hearing this, Zhan Wushuang took a breath and said in secret that it was reasonable. He nodded and said, "what Sir said is very true!" As he spoke, he said to Zhan invincible, "invincible, if the order goes on, the whole army will start and return to Yancheng!"

Although Zhan Wudi was unwilling, he also understood the critical situation at this time and dared not neglect it. He quickly promised: "yes, big brother!"

"And..." Zhan Wushuang thought for a while, then waved his hand and said, "forget it, I'd better explain it to you in person!"

He commanded the army to attack Tongmen, which was the will of King Ning Yanchu. Now if he wants to retreat, he naturally has to report to Yanchu. In addition, he also needs to inform mingxiaotian on the east side of Tongmen to let him understand his current dilemma.

Originally, Ming Xiaotian and Zhan Wushuang were two armies attacking Tongmen, but with Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi forced to retreat, only Ming Xiaotian was left, and the hope of recapturing Tongmen has become very slim.

Zhan Wushuang was afraid that Yancheng would not be protected. His army was trapped between Yancheng and Tongmen, so he led his troops to rush back to Yancheng all the way.

Before they arrived at Yancheng, the Tianyuan army had arrived first, and the army set up a camp outside the north city of Yancheng.

After the camp was set up, Tang Yin rode out of the camp with Qiu Zhen, Shangguan brothers and several bodyguards, walked to a highland not far away, and looked up at Yancheng in the distance.

Looking at the outline of Yancheng, Tang Yin was filled with emotion. At the beginning, he went out of Yancheng and was transferred to the distant Pingyuan county. Now he has made a big circle in the north of Fengguo and returned to Yancheng again. The situation is completely different. Not only the personnel are completely different, but also he is different from the original.

The wind king Zhanhua was harmed by Zhong Tian. The four most powerful and noble industries in the wind Kingdom exist in name only. There are only a few fake kings left, Zhong Tian. At first, Tang Yin was only the head of the county. Now, he is called the head of the county. In fact, he controls four counties and has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, which seems to be the most powerful Department of Fengguo.

After watching for a while, Tang Yin turned her head and said to Qiu Zhen, "Qiu Zhen, do you remember what I said when I left Yancheng?"

Qiu Zhen smiled and said, "at that time, brother Tang said he would come back. Now, brother Tang's words have been fulfilled, and we are really back." Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen have the deepest personal relationship. In private, they will not call each other "adults".

"Yes! I said we would come back, but I didn't think we would come back in this way." Tang Yin narrowed her eyes and said youyou.

Qiu Zhen also didn't expect such a result. He said softly with a smile: "this is the most decent way to return." As he spoke, he pointed to Yancheng in the distance and said, "it is reported that the garrison in Yancheng is less than 100000, but zhanwushuang and zhanwudi have rushed back to Yancheng and must arrive in three days."

Tang Yin sneered and said, "my men are just defeated. It's nothing to worry about."

Qiu Zhen looked positive and said, "if our army and Ning army have a positive confrontation, they really have an absolute advantage. They are afraid of being unmatched and cunning. Instead of fighting against our army, they hide in Yancheng, join with Peng army inside and defend Yancheng. In this way, it will be much more difficult for our army to attack the city."

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded and thought what Qiu Zhen said was reasonable. Ning army lost about 50000 people when attacking Tongmen. Now, there are 150000 Ning army under zhanwushuang and zhanwudi. If all of them shrink into Yancheng and are on the defensive, the power of Ning army's arrow array can be brought into full play and pose a great threat to our own side.

After thinking for a moment, Tang Yin said, "in this case, our army should divide a group of troops to stop Ning army from approaching Yancheng."

Qiu Zhen smiled and said, "brother Tang, I'll see you."

Tang Yin asked, "Qiu Zhen, what do you think of sending Pingyuan army to stop Ning army?"

Qiu Zhen shook his head and said, "the corps with the strongest combat effectiveness of our army is the plain army. The plain army can be regarded as the core strength of our army. It should be invested in the most critical main battlefield and should not be transferred outside."

If you can't transfer the plain army, which army can you transfer? The main force of Sanshui army has followed Liang Qi to sneak attack Tongmen. The main force of Chifeng army suffered heavy losses when attacking Huya mountain. As Tang Yin's close army, the direct army can only be used to attack Yancheng. No Legion can be used any more.

Seeing Tang Yin frowning slowly, Qiu Zhen said with a smile: "brother Tang can send Tianying army led by Ziying to stop Ning army."

"Oh?" Tang Yin looked at Qiu Zhen suspiciously. The name of the heavenly Eagle army is very frightening, but in addition to a good commander, the following soldiers are a mob. Sending them to stop the 150000 Ning army is tantamount to hitting stone with an egg. He said anxiously, "I'm afraid that the eagle army will not only fail to stop Ning army, but also be destroyed by Ning army."

"If so, it just saves brother Tang's trouble."

Tang Yin raised her eyebrows.

Qiu zhenzhengse said, "brother Tang should know who is the direct and who is the collateral. Ziying took refuge in brother Tang, but his loyalty remains to be seen. Moreover, it is an extraordinary period. Our army will enter Yancheng immediately. If brother Tang wants to achieve great success, we must be stable and work together. At this time, it is not appropriate for Ziying to master nearly 70000 troops."

Tang Yin nodded as he listened. When Qiu Zhen finished, he thought about it almost. He smiled calmly and said casually, "well, it's up to you."

Qiu Zhen smiled and stopped talking about it. Tang Yin is not a long-term and resourceful person. In that case, he doesn't need the help of counselors such as Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe and Zongyuan. His best thing is that he has an open mind of modern people and can adopt the favorable opinions put forward by others, which makes up for his own shortcomings to the greatest extent. Because of this, Qiu Zhen chose to help him wholeheartedly and pushed him to the peak step by step.

After returning to the camp, Tang Yin immediately called the generals to discuss the strategy of attacking the city.

After the generals and advisers arrived, Tang Yin asked slowly, "I'm going to attack the city tomorrow. What do you think?"

"The last general is willing to obey the instructions of adults!" The generals arched their hands in response.

"Yes!" Tang Yin added: "however, the Ning army under the command of Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi is also marching towards Yancheng and can arrive in a few days, which is a hidden danger for our army. Therefore, I plan to allocate some troops to block the Ning army and create enough time for the main force of our army to attack the city."

At this point, he paused, turned his head to Ziying, one of the generals, and said, "general Ziying, are you willing to lead your Tianying army to stop Ning army?"

He asked so, which meant that there was no room for Ziying to refuse. Ziying has just joined Tang Yin. This is the first task given to him by Tang Yin. Even if it is dangerous and difficult, he can only harden his head.

Ziying was stunned when she heard the speech, and then immediately said, "the end will be willing to go!"

"Good!" Tang Yin first praised it, and then warned with concern: "Ningjun has a large number of people and strong combat effectiveness. Even if general Ziying has talent and ability, I'm afraid the Tianying army can't compete with it. When contacting Ningjun, general Ziying should try to avoid fighting directly with it, as long as he drags it or slows down the marching speed."

"Yes! The end will understand." Although this task is somewhat difficult, it is not impossible. After all, the purpose of this war is to delay time, not to defeat the whole Ning army. Ziying arched her hand to Tang Yin and led the military order.

Then Tang Yin began to arrange the details of the attack on Yancheng.

He made the plain army and the directly subordinate army as the main force to attack the north gate and west gate of Yancheng respectively, supplemented by the Sanshui army and Chifeng army, and attacked the east gate and South Gate of Yancheng with the strategy of harassment and feint. This arrangement looks like a siege on all sides, which can confuse the defenders.

The generals have no objection to Tang Yin's arrangement. Qi should be.

On that day, Ziying obeyed Tang Yin's order and commanded the Tianying army to bypass Yancheng and go to block the Ning army rushing to Yancheng. After Ziying returned to Tang Yin, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of his soldiers, he borrowed some veterans from the plain army, Sanshui army, Chifeng army and directly subordinate army. These veterans add up to thousands and fill up the sky Eagle army, bringing its strength to 70000.

Don't underestimate Ziying's move. The value of veterans in the army is immeasurable. Dispersing veterans into various regiments and formations can teach a large group of recruits how to protect their lives and kill the enemy on the battlefield, so as to improve the combat effectiveness of the whole army. It can be said that veterans are the most valuable wealth of the whole army on the battlefield.

Because the counties to the west of Yancheng are nominally within the sphere of influence of Zhong Tian, Ziying's march is also cautious. She dare not take the official road and pick the path of wild mountains. The work and rest time is also completely reversed. The whole army sleeps and rests during the day and starts marching at night. In this way, although the march was slow, the hidden surname was guaranteed. The Tianying army went deep into the west of Yancheng and became an unknown strange soldier.
