Volume 10, Chapter 748
Thousands of defenders slipped away quietly under his nose, but he was unaware of it. Sitting with an army of 200,000 people waiting stupidly outside the city, this was simply a great shame and humiliation.
Qi Heng was trembling with anger, the veins on his forehead popped out, and the steel armor on the veteran's chest was almost deformed by him.
"You are so ashamed of me, how can I let you download TXT!" As he spoke, Qi Heng pulled out his sword and pointed it at the veteran's neck, intending to stab him.
Tang Yin snorted and shouted: "Stop!"
"Your Majesty, An's thieves bullied me too much, which is intolerable..." Qi Heng's facial features were distorted and his eyes turned red.
"What's the use of killing him now?" Tang Yin stepped forward, slapped off Qi Heng's hand holding the veteran's breastplate, and then asked in a friendly manner: "Brother, can you tell me, the guard in the city?" Where did the army go? Why did you stay?"
The old soldier was so frightened that he was sweating profusely. Hearing Tang Yin call him brother again, his body softened and he knelt on the ground. He kept kowtowing and said repeatedly: "I have seen His Highness Feng Wang. I have met His Highness the Wind King..."
Tang Yin smiled, directly pulled the veteran up, and said: "Brother, don't be afraid, you just need to answer a few questions from me, and I will protect your life."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Unexpectedly, the ferocious and cunning Wind King in the legend could be such an approachable person. The veteran was not only surprised but also felt quite lucky. He said in a trembling voice: "Report to Your Highness, they... they should have all gone to Yujing, the county town. The reason why they left us behind is because we are all locals from Tingkou City, and we are old, weak, sick and disabled and cannot fight. War, Mr. Yu also said... He said that the Feng Kingdom would annex the An Kingdom and would pretend to be benevolent and implement benevolent policies. As long as we surrender voluntarily, we would not kill indiscriminately..."
Hearing this, Qi Heng and others frowned, and Tang Yin also narrowed his eyes slightly. He asked calmly and with a smile: "The Mr. Yu that my brother is talking about is..."
"Mr. Yu is a ranger from Kawachi. The city lord respects him. The first city defense battle was organized by Mr. Yu."
Qi Heng couldn't help but interjected and asked: "He was responsible for the sneak attack on our army's logistics supplies, and later on stealing the camp at night and assassinating General Liu?"
The old soldier was extremely afraid of Qi Heng. When he heard his question, his body that had not stood upright softened again. He knelt on the ground and nodded repeatedly: "Yes... yes, that... those are all Mr. Yu's." idea……"
"Damn it! What's his name? I will kill this thief!" Qi Heng asked through gritted teeth, his teeth itching with hatred.
"I don't even know Mr. Yu's name. I only know that he is a ranger from Sichuan." The veteran wiped the sweat from his face and whispered.
Tang Yin patted the veteran on the shoulder and told him not to be afraid. He asked, "I heard that there are many rangers among the defenders in Tingkou City?"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"Approximately how many people are there?"
"I don't know the exact number of people, but I feel that there are always two or three hundred people."
There are so many rangers! Tang Yin took a breath. It seemed that he had really underestimated the information sent back by the shadow. While thinking about it, he asked casually: "Where are they all from?"
"There are people from all over the country. I heard that the accents include those from Anguo, Ningguo, Moguo, Huanguo, and Sichuanguo..."
"They are all in the county now?"
"This... I have only heard about it. As for whether it is in the county or not, I am not sure."
Feeling that what the veteran said was sincere, Tang Yin nodded and stopped asking any more questions. He pointed at the captured soldiers and said to Qi Heng: "Take away their armor and weapons, and then let them go." !”
He didn't know who the Mr. Yu the veteran was talking about was, but this man was very discerning. In Andi, he really wanted to implement benevolent government. For Anren who were naturally greedy for comfort, even if they did not use high-pressure measures, they He will not rise up to resist and implement benevolent policies, but it will be easier to gain people's hearts and make them willingly submit to Feng Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with letting them all go now..." What if they get together again and become our enemies? Qi Heng was worried.
Tang Yin said nonchalantly: "They are just old, weak and disabled soldiers, nothing to worry about, just do what I want!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Qi Heng responded with his hands raised.
This siege was completely different from the last one. The Feng army knocked down the entrance of the pavilion without any effort, but what they got was almost an empty city. The elite defenders and the rangers who mixed in were all gone. , even the bank vaults and granaries were empty.
Although they had won a complete victory, no one in the Feng Army was happy. Rather than saying that the pavilion was captured by our own side, it was more that the enemy took the initiative to give up the city.
The generals of the Feng Army, who felt deeply about An Jun's teasing, asked Tang Yin to send their troops immediately to the south and directly take Yujing, the county seat of Kawaguchi County.
However, Tang Yin had many more issues to consider than the soldiers below. He felt that it was not that simple for Anjun to first stick to the entrance of the pavilion and then abandon it.
After the Feng army captured the pavilion, Tang Yin also moved into the city lord's mansion in the city. Late at night, everything was quiet, but the lights were still on in Tang Yin's study. Ren Xiao, who couldn't sleep in his room and came out to relax, passed by, was startled for a moment, and then walked over.
Seeing Asan and Asan standing guard at the door of the room, he stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Is Your Highness still asleep?"
"Ah, it's Mr. Ren!" Asan and Asi bowed their hands and said, "The king is still handling military affairs."
"I'll go in and take a look." Ren smiled and walked into the room. Tang Yin had a close relationship with Ren Xiao, and he had also told Ah San and Ah Si that if Ren Xiao came to see him, there was no need to inform him and he could just let him go.
Ren Xiao entered the study and looked up, only to see Tang Yin sitting behind the desk, looking at the map attentively. Yin Lan, who was standing by, was sitting tiredly at this time, with his head on the corner of the desk. Dozing off.
"It's already so late, why hasn't His Highness rested yet..." Ren Xiao asked.
Before he finished speaking, Tang Yin had already hissed, and then nuzzled at Yin Lan who was standing aside. Ren Xiao smiled knowingly. Sometimes he looked at Tang Yin as careless, rough and bold, but sometimes he was very careful and considerate of the people around him. This was one of the things he admired about Tang Yin.
He walked lightly, came to the desk, looked down at the map on it, and murmured: "It's the map of Kawaguchi County."
Tang Yin nodded, indicating that he was right. Ren Xiao asked in confusion: "Your Highness, what's so good about this?"
"I always feel like something is wrong." Tang Yin's eyes fell on the map, and he whispered while tapping his forehead lightly.
"Something's wrong?"
"Yes!" Tang Yin said: "If Anjun didn't want to stick to the entrance of the pavilion, then they should have given up at the beginning, but they chose to deploy elite troops at the entrance of the pavilion. If they said they wanted to stick to the entrance of the pavilion, then why Are you going to evacuate quietly later?”
Hearing what he said, Ren Xiao also felt that this was strange. He pondered for a while and murmured: "Could it be that... Anjun got the news that His Highness was heading to Kawaguchi County and knew that they were outnumbered, so they were forced to evacuate? Tingkou?”
"Of course it's possible, but I think An Jun is deliberately delaying time."
As he spoke, he looked at the map again and continued: "Kawaguchi County is mountainous and forested, and there are many places suitable for ambush. Could the An army use the pavilion to slow down our army and prepare for an ambush in the rear?" time?"
Ren Xiao listened carefully and nodded repeatedly. After Tang Yin finished speaking, he said seriously: "Your Highness's concerns are very reasonable. I think this possibility is also very high."
Tang Yin moved his fingers back and forth on the map and said: "From Tingkou to Yujing, you need to pass through Chigou. This large mountain range makes it difficult to walk even just looking at the map. If I were the commander-in-chief of the An Army, We must set up an ambush here to catch the invading enemy by surprise!”
Ren Xiao stared at the place where Tang Yin pointed, nodded slowly, and said: "It is reported that the security forces in Kawaguchi County have less than 50,000 people. With this small number of troops, if we follow common sense, we will never dare to take the initiative. If it is By going against the grain, we can indeed catch our army by surprise and attack them unprepared.”
Tang Yin snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "Brother Ren is really becoming more and more like a commander. How about it? Are you interested in trying to be a legion commander in Feng Kingdom?"
Ren Xiao couldn't help but look up and smile, waving his hands and saying: "Your Highness, please spare me. Now it's okay for me to talk about military affairs on paper, but I'm still far from leading the army in war."
"You can learn slowly. No one is born to lead troops to fight." Tang Yin said casually and did not rely on him. He tapped his fingers on the table and returned to the topic, saying: "In this area of Chigou, I must We have to keep a close eye on them, and we need to transfer all the brothers from Tianyan and Diwang."
In terms of the deployment of military tactics, Ren Xiao couldn't say anything. In this regard, he was far behind Tang Yin.
When Yin Lan, who was dozing off, heard the names of Tianyan and Diwang, she suddenly woke up, opened her sleepy eyes, looked at Tang Yin blankly, and asked subconsciously: "What happened to Tianyan and Diwang? "
Tang Yin and Ren Xiao looked at each other and smiled. The latter took out the handkerchief, handed it to Yin Lan, and said, "Girl, although there are no outsiders now, it is always unsightly to have drool on your face."
Yin Lan subconsciously touched the corners of her mouth, and her jade face suddenly turned red. She didn't have the nerve to take over the smiling handkerchief. She hurriedly raised her sleeves and wiped the corners of her mouth. Then she looked at Tang Yin with a flushed face and lowered her head. .
Tang Yin explained with a smile: "I am worried that Anjun will set up an ambush in the Chigou area, so I plan to send Tianyan and Diwang to investigate first."
"Shadow can go too." Yin Lan immediately raised her head and looked at Tang Yin.
"Shadow has things to do, so everyone should perform their duties. If Shadow rushes to finish everyone else's work, then it won't last long." Tang Yin said meaningfully. (To be continued)
