The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

"Report! Repay!"

Sima Tang sat in the central military tent with a big smile on his face.

He has received news from Dading City.

That is the decision of His Majesty the Emperor. Not only Zeng Yimin brought an army of 150,000 to come to the rescue, but also three powerful men from the top ten of the Divine Machine List of the Great Jin Dynasty.

As long as there are the strong men in the top ten of the Divine Machine List to help, even if Tianyun City has a great master, it will not be enough.

There were footsteps outside the tent, and the scout outside said, "General Tang, Zeng Yimin, the garrison commander of Sanyang Pass in Fuquan County, is leading a 150,000-man army. He is only 50 miles away from our camp and will arrive in half an hour."

"Hurry up and tell Sima Zhuang, Qu Deqing, Luo Rui and other deputy generals to come to the central military camp to discuss matters immediately." Upon hearing this, Sima Tang's smile widened.

As long as he can recapture Tianyun City this time, it will be a great achievement. By then he will definitely be able to go further and be ranked among the titled generals of the entire Dajin Dynasty.

"As ordered."

The scout outside the tent quickly went to pass on the message.

After a short while, Sima Zhuang, Qu Deqing, Luo Rui and other deputy generals all came to the central army camp.

"Everyone, Zeng Yimin's 150,000 troops will arrive in half an hour." Sima Tang said with a smile on his face.

"That's great! As long as Zeng Yimin's 150,000 troops arrive, we can storm Tianyun City." Sima Zhuang couldn't help but say.

"General Tang, General Zhuang, the bows and crossbows possessed by the defenders of Tianyun City are indeed very powerful. It will be very difficult for us to attack Tianyun City by force." Qu Deqing frowned slightly. He had seen the arrows shot from the Nine-Star Crossbow with his own eyes.

The power is so strong that even a junior master like him would find it difficult to block dozens of arrows.

"Zeng Yimin has always had a lot of clever ideas for fighting wars. He will definitely be at the forefront when the time comes." Sima Tang narrowed his eyes.

He was very clear about Zeng Yimin's ability to lead troops in battle, but it was a pity that the other party was not surnamed "Sima". In the entire Jin Dynasty, if you were not a "Sima", even if you had great abilities, you were just a gun.

“Humph! Even if the bows and crossbows of Tianyun City are very powerful, even if we have to use human wave tactics, we must take Tianyun City back.”

Sima Zhuang snorted coldly, his face full of determination.

He had previously led his troops to attack Wu Jie's Qingshi Town. He was about to defeat Wu Jie, but he did not expect Kong Qi to suddenly appear and cause him to return in defeat, completely losing face.

Only by retaking Tianyun City can we make up for our mistakes.

"Qu Deqing, Luo Rui, the four of you must quickly reorganize the army. We must be ready to attack with all our forces. We must not give the Song Dynasty any chance to catch their breath."

Sima Tang looked at the deputy general Qu Deqing beside him.

They brought an army of 450,000. Sima Zhuang had previously led an army of 200,000, but only 40,000 to 50,000 returned alive.

Including the soldiers who were annihilated before, there were only 220,000 soldiers left. Add Zeng Yimin's 150,000, and the total number of troops was nearly 400,000.

He didn't believe that an army of 400,000 could not take Tianyun City by storm.

Sima Tang felt that he was just thinking too much before, and was afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind. If he had led an army of 450,000 and just arrived at Tianyun City, he would have launched an entire army and attacked Tianyun City frantically, perhaps he would have taken it back long ago.

"As ordered!"

Qu Deqing and other deputy generals turned around and left the tent.

Only Sima Tang and Sima Zhuang were left.

"Brother Zhuang, we must take back Tianyun City this time. Zeng Yimin will be asked to lead the charge and serve us, understand?"

Sima Tang deliberately sent away Qu Deqing and other deputy generals.

They are the only two who are from the Sima family.

"Yeah! I understand."

Sima Zhuang nodded, naturally knowing what Sima Tang was thinking.

……

"The entire army continues to advance towards Tianyun City."

Zeng Yimin led his army all the way to a place more than 20 miles away from Sima Tang's military camp, but did not lead his army to meet up with Sima Tang and Sima Zhuang.

"General Zeng, aren't we going to meet up with Sima Tang and the others?" A deputy general looked at Zeng Yimin with some confusion.

"Hmph?! Join up with them? By then, it will be our turn to take down Tianyun City?" Zeng Yimin's eyes were cold and stern.

Upon hearing this, several deputy generals suddenly understood.

In terms of ability in marching and fighting, Zeng Yimin could at least rank in the top ten in the entire Jin Dynasty. It could be said that he was no less capable than Sima Tang, Sima Zhuang and others.

Unfortunately, after so many years in the Great Jin Dynasty, he is still a colonel general and a border guard, responsible for guarding the Sanyang Pass.

On the other hand, Sima Tang, Sima Zhuang and others were all Tiger Generals, and their status was several levels higher than Zeng Yimin.

"But if we don't join them, it will be difficult for us to capture Tianyun City with our 150,000 troops alone."

A deputy general frowned. He had heard that when the Jin Dynasty attacked Tianyun City, the Minister of War Sima Cuo suffered a great loss first, and then Sima Zhuang suffered a loss.

"Don't worry, I know what kind of people they are. As long as we start to attack the city, Sima Zhuang and Sima Tang will definitely bring a large army and come to attack Tianyun City in full force." Zeng Yimin's face was full of confidence. He was very familiar with both of them.

"However, it is also very risky for us to attack Tianyun City. I have heard that Tianyun City has a kind of crossbow that can be regarded as a weapon for defending the city. It is very powerful." The deputy general looked at Zeng Yimin.

"Yes, the power of that kind of crossbow is so great that even a junior master would be in danger of death if faced with hundreds of arrows."

"I have already thought of a way to break it. Since the arrows are so powerful, why should we prove that we can resist them?"

Zeng Yimin had a confident look on his face. Ever since the Minister of War Sima Cuo suffered a loss in Tianyun City, he had been thinking about how to resist the crossbows, which were powerful city defense weapons, if he attacked Tianyun City himself.

He did think of it.

It's also very simple.

That is, the soldiers in the front row held shields, with three layers inside and three layers outside, and several thousand soldiers arranged in the middle, constantly digging the ground and advancing.

He had also studied that kind of crossbow, which was most powerful at a distance of three hundred to five hundred meters. If his army reached the foot of Tianyun City, that kind of crossbow would not be able to continue shooting.

"General, what you mean is that if we advance underground, those arrows will naturally not be able to hit us." The deputy general's face was full of admiration.

"Not bad!"

Zeng Yimin nodded and looked at the deputy general beside him: "Mobilize 5,000 soldiers and give them tools for excavation. Remember to make sure the shields in the front row have three layers inside and three layers outside to ensure that the arrows cannot penetrate the shields we have erected."

"As ordered."

The deputy general's face was full of excitement, and he immediately turned around to mobilize the soldiers.

"All troops are dispatched to attack Tianyun City."

Zeng Yimin shouted.

The 150,000-strong army continued to march towards Tianyun City.
