Chapter 21
Looking at Tang Yin's retreating figure, Wu Yi had mixed emotions. If Tang Yin hadn't appeared, today's task would most likely have fallen on him. Now that Tang Yin was taking his place, he should have been happy, but But he was not happy at all. The more peaceful and casual Tang Yin was, the more he felt ashamed of his cowardice and timidity. Read the full text.
When Tang Yin was about to leave the camp, Qiu Zhen caught up with him.
As if expecting the purpose of his pursuit, Tang Yin stepped back. After his men had gone away, he smiled and said, "Qiu Zhen, what are you doing here?"
Qiu Zhen didn't smile, and asked with a gloomy face, "Are you really not going to take me there?"
Tang Yin said: "You have to ask yourself first, how can you help me in the melee."
"At least I can help you with an idea in a critical moment."
"Forget it, I'm afraid your head will move before you have an idea. If you really want to die, I can't stop you, but you have to die far away, don't die in front of my eyes."
Qiu Zhen's face turned red and white when Tang Yin said it. He was so smart, of course he could tell that Tang Yin deliberately said such heartless words, but at this time he hated his own cleverness. If he couldn't tell Tang Yin's original intention, He might feel more comfortable in his heart, at least he wouldn't be more and more reluctant to leave him like he is now.
There was no time to delay. Seeing that his men had already walked far away, Tang Yin turned around and left. He waved his hands without looking back and said, "That's it, bye."
"Bye?" Qiu Zhen was confused.
"It means goodbye." Tang Yin smiled and knocked on his head.
Qiu Zhen chased a few steps and asked, "Can we meet again?"
"I don't know." Tang Yin suddenly turned his head and said with a bright smile on his face: "But I will try my best and see you again!"
"..." Qiu Zhen lowered his head. He had been in the army for a long time and had seen too many companions and comrades die tragically at the hands of the enemy's guns and swords, but he had never felt like this before, with his eyes stinging and tears about to fall.
On the way to Tongmen, Tang Yin and others walked very slowly. They knew full well that what opened ahead was not a road back home, but a door to death.
Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Zhang Bao suddenly sang: "When the country is in danger, I will go to war; I will be wrapped in horse leather to strengthen my glory!"
Soon, his singing infected everyone, and people sang along with him, over and over again.
This song is called "The Great Wind Song". The content is simple, with only four short sentences and sixteen characters, but it is the military song of the Feng Kingdom. The melody is low in the front and high in the back, and it is exciting and tragic at the same time.
The Feng Kingdom is the latest one to appear among the nine major vassal states. It is located in the northeast of the Haotian Empire. Internally, it has to contend with and deal with the other vassal states. Externally, it has to constantly resist the influence of the neighboring kingdom of the empire - the Federal Kingdom of Morpheus. Harassment and invasion, it can be said that wars have never stopped since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Over the past 800 years, countless soldiers of the Feng Kingdom have died on the battlefield or died in a foreign land, but the Feng people persevered with their stubbornness and unwillingness to admit defeat. And established a vast territory within the empire.
"Song of the Great Wind" is a portrayal of the country of wind, and it was written with the blood and tears of countless wind people.
Listening to the bursts of singing in his ears, even the cold-tempered Tang Yin unconsciously sang along.
At noon, Zhang Bao, who was at the front of the team, hurried towards Tang Yin and said urgently: "Brother Tang, there is an enemy situation ahead!"
After hearing this, Tang Yin perked up and walked to the front of the team. He looked up and saw that a group of people and horses were coming quickly on the road ahead. They were all cavalry, numbering more than a hundred, under the banner of Ning Army.
After seeing it clearly, Tang Yin looked back and saw that everyone on his side had already drawn up their posture and prepared to fight. He shouted loudly: "Put away all your weapons, be patient, and don't forget, we are Ningbing now!"
When Tang Yin spoke, there was an irresistible power. After listening to his words, everyone's panic calmed down, and the guys who showed their faces also took them back.
Looking at everyone one by one, Tang Yin said again: "Check each other and don't expose any flaws!" Although the enemy only had about a hundred or so, he didn't take it seriously, but what he wanted was to sneak into the enemy's formation, not outside. There was a fight.
Except for Zhang Bao's team, everyone else was dressed as prisoners, with ropes tied around their bodies. Although they looked strong, they actually had hidden buckles that could be loosened by pulling them. They also had sharp knives hidden under their clothes.
Not long after, the cavalry team arrived in front of Tang Yin and others at lightning speed. The leading captain urged the horse forward. He first looked up, then frowned and asked in a cold voice: "What's going on?"
Just as Zhang Bao was about to step forward to speak, Tang Yin quietly pulled him back, raised his head, smiled at the captain on the horse, and said, "These are the prisoners of Feng Kingdom..."
Before he could finish his words, the cavalry captain interrupted dissatisfiedly: "I'm not blind. Of course I know they are prisoners. I'm asking you why you took these prisoners? Why don't you punish them on the spot?" As he spoke, he jumped from his horse. He took out a spear from his back, without saying hello, and stabbed the Feng Kingdom soldier standing at the front in the neck.
No one expected that he would suddenly scare the soldier. The soldier's face was pale, but at this time it was too late to break free from the rope and dodge the opponent's attack. At this moment, Tang Yin's shot was like lightning, and the tip of the spear was about to hit the soldier. When he pressed his throat, he raised the hand holding the sword outward. He didn't draw the sword. He just hit the gun body with the scabbard, deflecting the cavalry captain's shot.
Uh-huh! The tip of the gun grazed the side of the soldier's neck.
The cavalry captain's expression changed. Tang Yin's clothes were no different from those of ordinary soldiers. He was just a squad leader at best. He dared to contradict him like this, which was a shame for his ambition. He shouted angrily: "You..."
The smile on Tang Yin's face did not diminish, and he said unhurriedly: "Captain, I am ordered to escort these prisoners. I dare not disobey the orders of my superiors. I hope that the captain will not make it difficult for me."
His words were quite polite, but his tone of voice was neither condescending nor arrogant, and his expression was calm, as if he had a great background.
The anger on the cavalry captain's face softened, and he asked suspiciously: "Which infantry regiment are you from?"
Tang Yin took off his military badge from his waist, handed it forward, and said, "We belong to the Fifth Infantry Regiment."
The cavalry captain just glanced at his military badge, without even connecting, and asked: "Where will these prisoners be taken?"
Tang Yin didn't know where to escort the prisoners, so he just made nonsense: "The battlefield ahead."
The cavalry captain looked suspicious and murmured: "Could it be that some of these prisoners hold important information about Tongmen?"
Tongmen? He only talked about the battlefield ahead, so why did he have anything to do with Tongmen. Suddenly, an idea flashed in Tang Yin's mind, and he remembered what Qiu Zhen had said. Ning Guo would never let go of this opportunity and would definitely march into Tongmen. Could it be that Qiu Zhenyan had really tricked Ning Jun into preparing to attack Tongmen?
well! He sighed secretly. It seemed that this defeat had made the situation in Feng Country precarious. He was thinking about it in his mind, but his mouth was not idle, and he said with a smile: "Who knows! I am only responsible for escorting them. As for what is going on, I don't know."
The cavalry captain rolled his eyes at him angrily, as if complaining that what he said was nonsense. If you knew the inside story, you wouldn't be just a soldier.
He turned the horse's head impatiently, raised his head and said: "Ahead is a key checkpoint for our army. I don't know if I can let you pass. I'll go back and report first." As he spoke, he ignored Tang Yin and others, and led his hundreds of men. The remaining knights returned the same way.
Tang Yin secretly grinned. How could Ning State, such an important checkpoint, allow a group of Ning soldiers to appear suddenly? Moreover, he only had Ning Bing's military badges and no military documents. As long as the other party asked him deeply. , people like themselves will definitely reveal their secrets.
Thinking about it, he didn't dare to delay any longer, and said anxiously to his subordinates: "Let's go quickly! Before the other party comes back, we have to find a way to sneak into Ningguo's checkpoint first!"
As soon as the cavalry team left, Tang Yin began to urge his men to speed up and rush towards the checkpoint at full speed.
