Tang Yin in another world

  After a while, Tang Yin and others finally walked out of the Ning army camp safely. Looking ahead, they saw Tongmen, which was sandwiched between two mountains with high walls reaching the clouds.

  The terrain of Tongguan is treacherous, the city walls are high and thick, and the defensive preparations are sufficient. It's easy to defend but hard to attack, worthy of being called "one man can hold the pass, ten thousand men cannot open it". If there were enough manpower, not to mention 400,000 Ning troops, even twice as many might find it difficult to take it down. But now the situation is different, Fengguo has just suffered a disastrous defeat, with 200,000 troops defeated in the Hedong area. The defenders of Tongguan are less than 20,000, including many defeated and fleeing soldiers, whose morale is low and fighting spirit is insufficient. Moreover, the reinforcements from the rear have not arrived yet, making the situation critical and not optimistic.

  Now, Tongmen's city gate has been blocked from the inside and people inside can't get out. Similarly, people outside can't get in either.

  Seeing Tongmen is equivalent to seeing the gate of returning home. Everyone present was excited and thrilled, and they all accelerated their pace spontaneously.

  They had just walked out for a short time when they heard someone shouting loudly behind them: "Halt!"

  The crowd heard the noise and turned around one after another, and it turned out that Yu Jia and others had also followed out of the military camp.

  "Just a little further ahead is Tongmen, now can you let us go?" Yu Jia said in a low and steady voice.

  "If we release them now, I'm afraid that before we've taken a few steps, we'll become hedgehogs." Tang Yin said slowly. The impression of the Ning army's arrow formation was too deep, and their own several hundred men were probably unable to withstand even one round of simultaneous shooting from the enemy.

  Yu Jia's teeth itched with hatred, and he clenched his fists, asking loudly: "Then what do you want to do?"

  "I've already said that, once we safely enter Tongmen, we will naturally let him go. You can rest assured, we keep our promises and won't go back on our words!"

  "It's better this way! Otherwise..."

  Too lazy to listen to his nonsense, Yu Jia's intimidating words had not yet been spoken when Tang Yin urged the horse to move forward.

  Yu Jia was anxious and angry in her heart, but towards Tang Yin, she had no way to do anything, could only stare blankly, watching him walk further and further away from her.

  The sight of him eating made Wu Mei's heart secretly laugh. All along, she was the big sister of the dance family, an object of admiration for everyone. She had never relied on anyone else, only being relied upon by others. But now, suddenly there was someone who could stand in front of her to block the wind and rain, this feeling was both strange and enjoyable.

  Tang Yin and others were walking towards Tongmen City when suddenly a strong gust of wind shot down from the top of the high wall.

  Boom!

  An arrow shot out like lightning and deeply embedded itself in the hoof of Tang Yin's war horse, at the same time someone on the city wall shouted: "Halt, traveler!"

  Tang Yin hastily pulled tight the reins and looked up.

  On the city wall, soldiers of the Wind Country stood in a row, people gazed at them with wide eyes and curiosity. One of the officers who seemed to be the captain held a longbow in one hand and leaned on an arrow holder with the other, leaning forward and shouting: "Don't move any further! Who are you? Report your names first!"

  Everyone in the dance troupe was dressed as a Wind Country soldier, and they were also flying the Wind Country flag, but the problem was that they had emerged from the Ning military camp unscathed, with numerous Ning soldiers and generals following behind them. The Wind Country soldiers on the city walls couldn't tell whether they were friend or foe.

  "I am Mei, let your general come and speak with me!" Mei urged her horse forward a few steps, responding.

  Dance enchantress? She's a dancer! The captain on the city wall was secretly shocked and didn't dare to be slow, hastily saying: "Please wait for a moment!" After finishing speaking, he turned back and quickly ran away.

  About half an hour later, a shout came from the top of the city wall. A middle-aged general wearing a military uniform appeared on the city wall, looking down and seeing Wu Mei, he couldn't help but rub his eyes to take a closer look.

  Seeing the other party staring at herself for a long time without speaking, Wu Mei frowned and shouted: "In just a few days, General Zong Zheng can't recognize me?"

  At the sound of the voice, the middle-aged general's body shook with surprise and exclaimed: "It's really General Wu! But you... they..." He wanted to ask how Wu Mei and others had passed through the Ning army camp and why there were so many people from Ning following behind, but this question was not suitable for public inquiry, as if he suspected Wu Mei of colluding with the enemy.

  "Let's forget about you, me and him for now. Open the city gate first and let us in!" Wu Mei scolded impatiently.

  "Alright, alright! However, General Wu, the city gate has been blocked and you can only enter by climbing over the wall...". Confirming that the newcomer was indeed Wu Mei, the middle-aged general, although filled with doubts in his heart, did not dare to say anything more and hastily ordered someone to prepare ropes to throw down from the top of the city wall.

  Bang, bang, bang - at this moment, more than 20 thick and long hemp ropes were thrown down from the top of the city wall.

  The dancer saw this and turned over, got off the horse, and at the same time, she shook her head at the soldiers under her command: "Up!"

  Everyone listened to the order and swarmed forward, tying the thrown hemp rope around their waists, then calling on the soldiers on the city wall to pull them up.

  Just as Mo Mei and Wu Ying were about to walk down the city, they saw Tang Yin sitting on his horse without moving. The former asked in doubt: "Tang Yin, what are you waiting for without getting off your horse?"

  Tang Yin patted Yu Shang, who was in a daze, and asked: "What's wrong with him?"

  She dazedly said: "You don't need to worry about it anymore!" As she spoke, her hands moved quickly and she pulled over a soldier from beside her, saying: "You stay here and watch this guy. Once we're all safely on the city wall, you can...". She made a downward chopping motion with her hand.

  The soldier nodded slightly and replied in a trembling voice: "General Wu, I understand."

  Tang Yin furrowed his brow, dismounted and pulled Yu Shang down from the horseback, asking: "Do you want to kill him?"

  "Of course!" Mo Yu smiled slyly at Tang Yin and asked back, "You're not really going to let him go, are you?"

  "I just think that if people don't keep their promises, they won't stand; since we've already made a commitment to the other person, we should follow through on our words."

  She burst out laughing and said: "You're talking about credibility with an enemy? Are you crazy?"

  Tang Yin stared at her straightly without saying a word.

  Wan Mei smiled and patted his shoulder, saying softly: "There's no need for us to argue about this, come with me quickly!"

  Seeing her persistence, Tang Yin stopped nagging and wasting time. He ignored the dancing girl and said to the soldier: "You go up, I'll stay behind."

  "What are you going to do?" The smile on Wu Mei's face disappeared, and she asked in a sharp, dissatisfied tone.

  "Dàdà jiàngjūn can ignore reputation and break promises, but I cannot!" Tang Yin may be a ruthless king, but he has his own principles. What he says, he must do.

  "I don't understand why he's being so stubborn, but I'll dance with him anyway," she said angrily. "Yu Shang is still the prince of Ning Guo and our arch-nemesis; no matter what, we can't let him go..."

  Tang Yin remained silent in response to her words.

  Seeing the two arguing, Qiu Zhen hurried over, looking at Tang Yan's expressionless face, wanting to speak but swallowing his words, turning his head to say to Wu Mei: "General Wu, Yu Shang is just a nobody, killing or not killing him won't have much impact on us. But on the other hand, leaving him alive would be giving Ning Guo a future troublemaker. Moreover, if we really kill him, it might provoke the anger of Ning Guo's people, and with so many soldiers, they'll furiously attack our city, which may not be beneficial to us!"

  Qiu Zhen also thought that Yu Shang should be killed, but he had already decided to stand on Tang Yin's side. Since it was Tang Yin who insisted, he could only follow Tang Yin's meaning and do things accordingly. It was just that the same words, when spoken from his mouth, would make people more acceptable.

  Letting Yu Shang off like this, Wu Mei still felt uncomfortable in her heart, but Qiu Zhen's words also made sense, and it was equivalent to giving her a step down.

  After a moment of contemplation, she nodded and said: "Alright, Tang Yin, this time I'll listen to you, but there won't be a next time!" After finishing her words, she took a deep look at Tang Yin, turned around and walked down the city.

  "Hiss! Seeing Wu Mei's compromise, Qiu Zhen let out a breath and came to Tang Yin's side, saying in a low voice: "Tang brother, you're too impulsive. If it's for Yu Shang, it's not worth making trouble with General Wu!"

  Tang Yin certainly knew that falling out with Wu Mei would be disadvantageous to himself, but Wu Mei was not important enough to him to change his way of doing things.

  He rushed towards Qiu Zhen with a calm smile and said softly: "Thanks."

  It's not easy to hear Tang Yin thank you, Qiu Zhen's mouth is wide open, hehehe, enjoying himself nonstop.

  Wu Mei and Wu Ying led hundreds of people, not long after they were pulled halfway up the city wall. Tang Yin said to Qiu Zhen: "Don't stay here anymore, you go up too!"

  "I'll accompany you."

  "Not necessary." Tang Yin said resolutely.

  "I insist." Qiu Zhen replied succinctly.

  "Don't blame me if you die!" Tang Yin said coldly.

  Qiu Zhen was silent.

  After most of the soldiers under Wang Mei's command were pulled up onto the city wall, Yu Jia and others in front of Ningguo Camp moved slowly towards Tang Yin.

  Although it was under the city wall of his own side, and although he still had Yu Xiang as a hostage in his hands, Qiu Zhen was still nervous and sweating.

  He stole a glance at Tang Yin beside him, without any unexpectedness, the latter was still calm and composed.

  Qiu Zhen suddenly realized that Tang Yin, no matter how dangerous the situation seemed, could always remain calm and composed, his cold and sharp eyes never showing any fluctuations, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

  If Tang Yin was an enemy, he would be a formidable opponent! He muttered to himself in his heart, while secretly rejoicing.

  "Now, can you let him go?" Yu Jia's eyes gleamed with a fierce light as he stared fixedly at Tang Yin.

  "Of course!" Tang Yin bent down, grabbed the back of Yu Shang's clothes and lifted him up. He took two steps forward and then swung his arm with great force, saying in a cold tone: "Returning the original thing!"

  Yu's body, weighing over a hundred kilograms, was like a bundle of rags, thrown by Tang Yin more than ten meters away, followed by a dull thud, heavily crashing to the ground.

  He let out a painful cry, almost fainting from the shock. Seeing this, Yu Jiazhou's surrounding guards hastily urged their horses forward, surrounding Yu in a tight circle, fearing that his opponent would launch another sneak attack.

  Tang Yin didn't hesitate anymore, pulled down Qiu Zhen and said: "Let's go!"
