Volume 10 Chapter 248
Chapter 248
Hearing what Yue Ze and Li Xin said, Tang Yin sneered. These two people can be called a pair of sticks. Since you don't want to fight, then why did you come to Zhenguo? If you don't fight, where can you get spoils? If you don't fight, recruits will be recruits for life. How can the combat effectiveness of the legion be improved? It's no wonder that the An and Huan armies were defeated by the Pingyuan Army and the Sanshui Army. With such a stupid monarch, the generals in the army are not much better.
Now, Xiao Xuan also understands that Yue Ze and Li Xin are too selfish. Cooperating with them will only drag others down. It is most appropriate to let the An and Huan armies serve as backup.
However, he is not satisfied with the arrangement of Feng Yu and Chuan Mo armies. He wants to join forces with Feng Army. Chuan Army and Feng Army have fought before, and they also know that Feng Army is brave and good at fighting. If they can cooperate with Feng Army, the next battle will be very easy. But then he thought again, if Chuan and Feng joined forces, then Mo and Yu would have to join forces. The two countries had too much resentment, and their combat power was not too strong. If we consider the overall situation, such an arrangement is not appropriate.
After careful consideration, Xiao Xuan nodded and said, "Okay! If you all have no objection, I will follow the opinion of my brother, King Tang."
Ling Shuang was willing to cooperate with Tang Yin. As for Shao Fang, he could also accept the joining of Mo and Chuan armies. After all, among the six countries, only Chuan army was as powerful as Feng army.
This time, there was no open or covert fighting, and no intrigue. The six kings agreed to divide their forces to fight.
The coalition forces of the six countries were divided into three parts. Feng and Yu armies took the northern route to attack the pass, Chuan and Mo armies took the southern route to attack Jingguan, and An and Huan countries were the rear guards and responsible for ensuring the supply of the entire army.
After making the decision, each army began to move in different directions. The Chuan-Mo coalition forces were preparing to march south to Jingguan, while the An-Huan armies were preparing to retreat to receive supplies and food from Anguo.
After the meeting, Tang Yin and Ling Shuang returned to the Feng army's base together.
Entering his own tent, Tang Yin took the tea handed over by the maid, drank it in one gulp without tasting it, and then threw the cup to the ground fiercely, gritted his teeth and muttered: "I'm so angry, I'm almost angry! I'm really ashamed to be with him!"
It was rare to see him so angry, Lingshuang smiled and comforted him softly: "Why is Wang brother so angry? This is something that was expected long ago! There are already many contradictions and intrigues among the six countries, and they also have resentment and distrust. Joining forces will only backfire. It is the best strategy to divide the troops to fight!"
Tang Yin snorted and laughed: "The hateful ones are Yue Ze and Li Xin. If they hadn't interfered and acted smart, we would not only divide our troops to fight? The six countries joined forces, with a million soldiers and horses, and they could go straight to Huanglong and break through the capital of Zhen in one fell swoop!"
Yes! Lingshuang also agreed with Tang Yin's statement, but what's the point of saying these things now? She said, "Brother Wang, let's discuss how to take the pass now!"
Tang Yin took a deep breath and suppressed the anger that burned in his forehead. He looked at the sky outside and said, "It's getting late. It seems that it's hard to do anything today. If we want to fight, we can only wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will lead the Feng Army to attack the pass, and the Jade Army will just hold the line in the back!"
Ling Shuang raised her eyebrows and asked, "Brother Wang, do you think that the Jade Army will hold back the brothers of the Feng Army?"
Tang Yin was stunned and said, "Of course I don't mean that..."
"Since Feng and Jade have joined forces, if they want to attack the city, they naturally have to work together. How can one fight hard in the front and the other sit on the sidelines in the back?" Ling Shuang said seriously.
Tang Yin looked at the stubbornness and unwillingness on Lingshuang's face, laughed, nodded, and said, "I made a mistake. Okay, tomorrow, you and I will join forces to attack the city!"
This is the atmosphere he wanted. Everyone was vying to be the first and not to fall behind. No matter how much combat power they could exert on the battlefield, as long as they had this strong fighting spirit, it was enough, and fighting spirit could also infect and influence each other.
The next day, the four armies of Chuan, Mo, An, and Huan left the coalition camp one after another. In the large camp, only 40 armies of Feng and Yu were left.
However, in Tang Yin's view, the departure of 800,000 troops was equivalent to reducing 800,000 troubles and burdens, and he no longer had to distract himself to calculate what tricks those princes were playing.
When it was almost noon, Tang Yin and Lingshuang ordered the entire army to pack up the camp and march towards Tongguan.
The 400,000 coalition forces of Feng and Yu arrived outside Tongguan City. Their momentum and military appearance were so great that they were not comparable to the previous An and Huan armies. While the Feng and Yu armies were setting up their battle formations, Shangguan Yuanrang asked Tang Yin for permission to go to the front of the battle formation to challenge the enemy and provoke the enemy to fight outside the city, so as to set a good example for his side and boost morale.
Tang Yin had this intention and agreed immediately. Shangguan Yuanrang had just come out of the Feng army camp when he saw a general rushing out of the Yu army camp on the other side. He knew this general, Shi Xiao, one of the famous generals of Yu country.
They both ran to the front of the two armies and bumped into each other. Shi Xiao spoke first, holding his spear and smiling, and said: "General Yuanrang is also going to challenge the front of the battle formation?"
"Of course!" Shangguan Yuanrang looked Shi Xiao up and down, curled his lips, and said with a strange smile: "General Shi should go back. Under my sword, there has never been a fish that escapes the net, and General Shi will not be able to take advantage of me behind me."
Why must you lead the charge? Shi Xiao was dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He said with a smile: "Since General Yuan Rang is going to fight, then I can only be General Yuan Rang's vanguard. If the enemy general is really powerful, it won't be too late for General Yuan Rang to go into battle and kill the enemy."
Shangguan Yuan Rang's old face immediately sank after hearing this, and he said coldly: "General Shi, do you want me to help you?"
"No, no! As the saying goes, the generals are in the rear!"
"I'm listening to your fart!" Shangguan Yuan Rang said no more and urged his horse to run to the front of the two armies. Shi Xiao was unwilling to fall behind and galloped out at the same time.
The two of them almost came to the front of the two armies shoulder to shoulder. Shangguan Yuan Rang has always been arrogant, so of course he refused to retreat. Shi Xiao was also full of anger and dissatisfaction with his arrogance. He sincerely refused to give in to him and stood side by side with Shangguan Yuan Rang.
Great! They all got it on my head! Shangguan Yuanrang sneered in his heart, not even looking at Shi Xiao beside him, and said with a snort: "Wait for the enemy general to come out, whoever grabs it will own it!"
"General Yuanrang, rest assured, your sword is fast, but my gun is not much slower!"
"Good, good, good! I want to see how fast your gun can be!"
The two of them looked up at the top of the city wall of Tongguan, but they kept arguing with each other.
It wasn't long before the gate of Tongguan was opened. Just like when the An army came to curse, two thousand soldiers and horses rushed out, and the leader was still Chen Guan.
Yesterday, he killed An general Liu Chong with a gun, and then the Zhen army resisted the successive attacks of the An and Huan armies. Chen Guan was also a little complacent and thought of underestimating the enemy. Today, the Feng and Yu armies joined forces to attack, but he didn't take it too seriously. Seeing that two enemy generals came to the front of the two armies, he immediately asked the main general Hou Chi for permission to go out of the city to fight the enemy generals.
He had already made a good start yesterday, so Hou Chi agreed immediately without much consideration.
Let’s talk about Chen Guan. After leaving the city, he urged his horse to rush towards Shangguan Yuanrang and Shi Xiao, and shouted loudly: "I am Chen Guan, the deputy general of Tongguan. Which one of you is not afraid of death and wants to fight me first?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard two strange cries of "Ao, Ao" from the opposite side. The two generals of Feng Yu were like hungry tigers seeing lambs. They urged their horses and rushed towards him like crazy.
The battles between the two armies have always been one-on-one, but the Feng Yu coalition rushed up with two people at once. Even though Chen Guan was very confident in his strength, he couldn't help but be shocked and his face changed.
While he covered himself with spiritual armor and spiritualized the long spear in his hand, he shouted at the two enemy generals who were running over: "Do you two want to bully the minority with your numbers?"
No one answered him, so Shangguan Yuanrang and Shi Xiao just urged their horses, fearing that they would be overtaken by the other side.
Chen Guan secretly cried out in pain. If he had known that the Fengyu coalition was going to fight two against one, he should have brought a few more helpers when he left the city.
Now it was too late for him to regret. In a hurry, he shook his spirit spear, swung his arm and threw out a spirit chaos wind, attacking the two enemy generals who were coming towards him.
His spirit chaos wind was no threat to Shangguan Yuanrang and Shi Xiao. The two of them also released the spirit chaos wind while running wildly, easily dissolving Chen Guan's killing move, and many spirit blades continued to fly towards Chen Guan.
Chen Guan was so scared that his soul flew away, and he hurriedly used the spirit chaos wind again, and only then did he barely dissolve the opposite side's spirit blade. Feeling that he was no match for these two people, he turned his horse's head and wanted to run, but Shangguan Yuanrang and Shi Xiao, the two killing gods, had already rushed to him.
There were two muffled sounds of "click" and "puff" in the earlobes. Shangguan Yuanrang cut off Chen Guan's head with a knife, and at the same time, Shi Xiao's spirit spear pierced Chen Guan's back, piercing him through the heart.
The huge skull fell to the ground, but Chen Guan's body did not fall off the horse, but hung on Shi Xiao's spirit spear. Shangguan Yuanrang held the knife in one hand, poked it to the ground, bounced up the severed head, reached out to catch it, and hung it on the saddle, laughing: "This head is mine!"
Shi Xiao shook the body on the spirit spear and said: "General Yuanrang, you just picked up the head, but I took the enemy's body!"
The implication was that he had a small victory over Shangguan Yuanrang in this round.
Shangguan Yuanrang's sword eyebrows stood up, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw the two thousand Zhen troops who had left the city running towards the city in a swarm. His eyes lit up, and he rushed over without saying hello.
Shi Xiao was really frightened by him. Shangguan Yuanrang was going to rush over to kill the enemy soldiers. Wouldn't that mean he was looking for arrows from the Zhen army on the city wall? He hurriedly shook off the corpse on the spirit spear and shouted loudly: "General Yuanrang, don't..."
