"General Zongzheng, farewell!" After Wu Mei finished speaking, she did not stay any longer and turned around, walking down the tower.

Seeing that Tang Yin stood where he was without moving, afraid that he would be too stubborn and insist on staying at Tong Gate, Qiu Zhen anxiously pulled at the corner of his clothes and said softly: "We should leave too."

Tang Yin didn't plan to stay in the Tong Gate.

He nodded towards Qiu Zhen, signalling for him to be patient. Then, he said to Gu Yue and Le Tian, "The two of you, come with me!"

"What?" Gu Yue and Le Tian were both startled. As the two of them were the guards of Tong Gate, how could they leave together with Tang Yin?

Looking at the blood stains and wounds on the two of them, Tang Yin said: "Both of you are injured now, let alone fighting, even walking is a problem, what can you do?"

Gu Yue was furious after hearing that, and said angrily: "Do you think I am someone who is afraid of death? General Zongzheng would rather live or die with the Tong Gate, how can I cower?! "

Tang Yin scoffed, and said: "Do you think making meaningless sacrifices is the so-called loyalty and devotion to your country?"

"You ?" If Tang Yin's rank was not higher than his, Gu Yue really wanted to rush over and ruthlessly punch him twice. Of course, whether or not he could beat him was another question.

Wu Mei, who was originally going down the tower stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Tang Yin curiously. She did not understand why Tang Yin, who was usually cold and emotionless, would suddenly insist on bringing the two of them away.

Actually, Tang Yin had his own plans.

Since he decided to stay in the military and develop himself, he wanted to do well.

Although Wu Mei gave him the position of the captain of the second squadron, that was only an empty job, the second squadron was already finished at the Hedong Region, and when he returned to the Yan City, they would definitely recruit and rebuild. As for what kind of people he could recruit, he was unsure, but he had a good impression of Gu Yue and Le Tian, and if he wanted to recruit these two, furthermore, the people he personally picked would easily become his trusted aides.

Wu Mei didn't understand what Tang Yin was thinking. He thought he had fought side by side with Gu Yue and Le Tian for an entire day, cultivated their relationship, and couldn't bear to see the two of them staying in the Tong Gate to die.

She shook her head and laughed: "These two are General Zongzheng's men. Tang Yin, don't force others!"

Gu Yue and Le Tian didn't join the army for long, and their ranks weren't high either. They were merely the captains in charge of a hundred people, and Zongzheng Guangxiao didn't even recognize them. Seeing that Tang Yin insisted on taking the two of them away, and that the both of them were indeed wounded, Zongzheng Guangxiao was also willing to help out with the situation, and said to Gu Le: "General Tang is right, I see that your injuries aren't light, and even if you stayed, you might not have done anything, so you should just follow General Tang!"

"General Zongzheng..." Gu Yue and Le Tian kneeled down and said at the same time, "This subordinate is not afraid of death!"

"I know." Zongzheng laughed widely: "In fact, just as General Tang had said, making unnecessary sacrifices would be better to leave behind a useful body, and then we can seek to repay back to the in the future!"

"General Zongzheng..."

"There's no need for that. You two can go!" Saying that, he turned to Wu Mei and said: "I had originally planned to no longer trouble General Wu, but there are a lot of wounded soldiers in the city, I wonder if General Wu can take them away with you?"

This was a troublesome matter, there were at least a thousand injured soldiers, and Wu Mei did not have many soldiers that she could use, how could she bring all these people away? After a moment of silence, she said, "I'll do my best. I'll take as many as I can."

"I'm really sorry to trouble you, General Wu."

"General Zongzheng is too polite."

Just like this, Wu Mei and the others left the Tong Gate, and Tang Yin also fulfilled his wish to bring Gu Yue and Le Tian away. At the same time, he brought hundreds of heavily injured soldiers with him.

On the way back to the Yan City, Gu Yue and Le Tian both had gloomy and cold expressions.

Knowing that the two were feeling uncomfortable, Tang Yin did not mind. Walking to the two of them, he said: "Don't think that being unafraid of death represents you being extremely loyal, to be noble, there are many people in this world who are not afraid of death, dying meaninglessly only represents stupidity and foolishness!"

Tang Yin spoke in a straightforward manner, not leaving any face for their relationship.

After Gu Yue and Le Tian heard this, their faces became even uglier.

"It's better to die than to die ?" If the two of you are willing to choose the latter, then I will not stop you two. This place is not too far from the Tong Gate, the two of you can go back right now! " He had originally wanted to say that death was more important than Mount Tai, but upon second thought, he realized that the two of them would not know what Mount Tai was. Thus, he decided to just leave it out.

Gu Yue wanted to say something, but he was already angered, but he could not even open his mouth to spit out a single word. After a moment of silence, he breathed out again.

Actually what Tang Yin said was not wrong, with their current situation, even if they stayed in Tong Gate, it would be useless.

What the two of them were dissatisfied with was that Tang Yin did not ask for their permission and still decided to force the decision, which hurt their self-esteem.

After bowing his head for a long time, Gu Yue finally squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Thank you."

No matter what, Tang Yin had saved both him and Le Tian, and he felt that he should express his gratitude.

Tang Yin looked deeply at Gu Yue, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"In the future, you two will follow me!" He turned and walked away.

"Although I thank you, it does not mean that I will work for you in the future!" Moreover, he was still the Spirit Cultivator of the Dark World. Although they had fought shoulder to shoulder for the entire day, Gu Yue still had a faint feeling of rejection in his heart.

Tang Yin did not even turn his head to snort a laugh, he only casually waved his hand and said: "If the two of you have a better home to return to in the future, I would not mind the two of you leaving."

"You ?" Gu Yue pointed at the back of Tang Yin's head, not knowing what to say.

This was the feeling Gu Yue currently had towards Tang Yin.

Not long after Tang Yin left, Qiu Zhen came back again and gave them two small bottles of pills. He also said that those were the hemostasis and pain-relieving medicines that Tang Yin had asked for from Wu Mei.

Tang Yin had indeed asked for the medicine, but it was only because he had received Qiu Zhen's reminder that he had done so.

Tang Yin wanted to accept the two of them, Qiu Zhen had raised both hands in support, if he was going to achieve great things, he would definitely need the help of a large group of capable people.

Along the way, they did not encounter any reinforcements who were heading for the Tong Gate, and they also did not know where Liang Qi, the commander of the reinforcements, had brought the troops to. Wu Mei, Wu Ying and the others all appeared to be depressed and unhappy, they knew very well that without reinforcements, their Tong Gate would not be able to resist the next round of attacks from the Ning Army.

What was even more frightening was that if he lost his Tong Gate, there would be no more dangers for him to defend them. His Imperial Court would always be threatened by Ning Jun, and his Feng Country would never return to normal.

Wu Mei was paying attention to the situation in the Tong Gate, and had dispatched dozens of her subordinates, riding horses back and forth between the Tong Gate and the convoy, so that she could know the news about the Tong Gate at any time.

The next day.

The first wave of scouts brought back news that the Ning army had once again launched an army assault early in the morning. This news made Wu Mei and the others very nervous.

The time to wait was always passing slowly. It was said that the defenses of the Tong Gate had been broken, and the Ning Army had entered the Tong Gate. Zongzheng brought the remaining defenders with him and retreated into the city, engaging the enemy in street battles.

When the enemy broke through their defenses and entered the city, it was almost as if the city had been lost. After receiving the news, everyone became silent.

Afterwards, spies would return from time to time, reporting the specific circumstances of the battle with their Tong Gate.

After Ning Jun entered the Tong Gate, he started a massacre, regardless of whether it was the defending army or ordinary people, they were all killed.

Zongzheng who was fighting inside the city with the enemy was besieged by the Ning army, after that, they fought to the death and fought to the death, leading the defeated people to break out of the encirclement, and then gathered the defeated guards in the west of the city, then started to counterattack the Ning army.

The battle was extremely intense, under the situation where there were extremely few enemies, Zongzheng Guang Xiao led his men and forced Ning Jun, who was fighting to the center of the city, to return to East of City. After that, the Ning Army invested even more troops to fight their way back, and the two sides fought each other in the center of the Tong Gate.

That really confirmed the saying, "One Inch Mountain and One Inch River, One Inch Blood".

In the end, with Zongzheng Guang Xiao in the lead, the defending army was unable to win against the majority, and was forced to withdraw from the Tong Gate gate.

And then, something dramatic happened. Just as the Ning Army was about to take over the entire Tong Gate and kill the citizens within the city, a hundred thousand people from Feng Country and reinforcements made their appearance magically with Liang Qi at the head of the troops.

The eastern side of the Tong Gate s were directly facing the Ning Country s, the city walls were tall and thick, it was unusually sturdy, and the city guards were also perfect, but the west side of the Tong Gate s was where the Feng Country s were located, the city walls were only symbolic, which was equivalent to nothing.

The advantage of Feng Soldier was that they could fight face to face with each other. With their own strengths, attacking the opponent short, as well as fighting in their own territory, in addition to the fact that the Tong Gate city was not big, although there were a lot of Ning troops, they were not able to squeeze into the city at all. If they couldn't use it, there was no reason for their Feng Army to be victorious.

However, due to the sudden appearance of Feng Army, the many soldiers of the Ning Army were caught unprepared. Throwing away their helmets and removing their armor, they were battered and exhausted. The battle only lasted four hours before the Ning Army, which had just entered the city, was forced to retreat.

This time, the general of Tong Gate was changed to Liang Qi, and the guards were changed to the ten regiments under the command of the general of Liang Family.

As for Zongzheng Guangxiao, he was lucky enough to escape from death. However, Liang Qi relied on his status and prestige to be able to get away from him.

Before the defense of the city was completely consolidated, this Eldest Young Master who had made a great contribution to the battle once again caused people to move away the obstacles blocking the city gate, preparing to counterattack the Ning army outside the city.

The effect of the Tong Gate battle could be said to be out of everyone's expectations, even Ning Jun's side was confused, who would have thought that Liang Qi and the rest would suddenly appear at this crucial moment out of nowhere?
