Chapter 276: When the Sichuan and Zhen Allied Forces attacked the Feng Kingdom, Nie Ze was the commander of the 500,000 Zhen Army, and it was the Zhen Army that did the most harm to the Feng Kingdom.
It was Nie Ze who created the plague and bloodbathed the pass, and it was Nie Ze who decided to divide his troops and go north to attack Yancheng, the capital of wind. To Tang Yin, Nie Ze had a blood feud with him.
Gu Anmin and Nie Ze were both generals in the Zheng Kingdom, and they were both nobles from famous families. However, the relationship between the two was not harmonious, and they were intrigues with each other. The most important point was that the future they chose
The master is different.
Gu Anmin supported the crown prince Li Dan, while Nie Ze supported the second prince Li Xiang. The conflict between them was, to put it bluntly, a party dispute.
Hou Qiu, the commander-in-chief of Longding Fortress, was Nie Ze's confidant, so one can imagine his relationship with Gu Anmin.
Tang Yin, who had been silent by the side, suddenly said: "Hou Qiu will definitely not surrender. Our army has no other choice but to attack Longding Fortress by force."
Kong Qing nodded, but said with concern: "When we passed by Longding Fortress, there were only 20,000 troops stationed there. Now that more than two months have passed, the number of troops in the fortress may have increased."
Tang Yin thought for a while, then turned to ask Letian and Ai Jia beside him: "Have you sent any spies to investigate?"
Le and Ai both responded: "We have been sent out, and we expect to be back soon."
"Okay!" Tang Yin said to Lingshuang: "Sister Wang, let's rest here for a while and wait for the detective report to be sent back before we make plans."
"Yes! I listen to Brother Wang." Regarding the matter of marching and fighting, Lingshuang had no extra opinions. Tang Yin took the lead in everything.
Before Chen time, about an hour later, the spies from Tianyan and Diwang brought back the intelligence report. Kong Qing's concerns were correct. The strength of the Longding Fortress had indeed increased a lot. According to the observation of the number of tents in the fortress
, Tianyan and Diwang spies estimate that the number of Zhenjun in the fortress is about 40,000. The commander's flag still has the word "Hou", indicating that the commander has not changed.
After listening to the spies' story, Tang Yin asked, "Do you have any sketches of the fortress?"
"The villain has been drawn." The underground network spy quickly took out a piece of straw paper from his arms and handed it to Tang Yin. The latter took it and unfolded it to look at it carefully.
Gu Anmin should be very clear about the internal structure of the fortress. Although Tang Yin had absorbed him, it was impossible to master all his memories. There would be choices when absorbing, and he could only keep a small part that he considered key.
If he discards most of it, if he absorbs it all, the huge and complicated information will explode his head.
Longding Fortress is located behind Longding Mountain, but the fortress is not built against the mountain. It is still some distance away from Longding Mountain. It is surrounded by flat land. Looking at the sketch, we can also judge that the defense of the fortress is very complete. Most of the surrounding places are covered with water.
The fortress walls were not high, only two feet, but they were double-layered, with an interval of about five meters between them.
Tang Yin took a rough look at it, then handed the sketch to his generals for circulation, and said, "Every general, please take a look. After reading it, you can also tell us what tactics our army should use."
The sketch was passed around among the generals and finally passed to Lingshuang. She lowered her head and felt dizzy after just two glances. To her, the sketch drawn by the underground network agent was like a ghost drawing, a mess.
Da Tuan, I have no idea what is painted on it.
She didn't understand, but Tang Yin and the generals understood, and people began to discuss it seriously at this time. Ling Hui frowned and was the first to say: "I see that Longding Fortress is very well-defended, whether it is a sneak attack or a frontal attack,
They are all hard to come by.”
"That's right!" Kong Qing continued: "The key to the problem is that our army does not carry large siege weapons. The city defense of Longding Fortress is not strong, but if there are no siege weapons, just rely on the brothers to break through, I'm afraid
...It won’t be so easy to capture.”
Ling Hui nodded his head and said: "His Royal Highness Feng Wang, do you think our army should send people back to the central army first and urgently dispatch a batch of siege weapons?"
Before Tang Yin could speak, Tianyan's spy had already said: "According to our observation, Longhu County should have heard that our army has passed Nanyue City and is marching towards Longhu County. Now all counties and cities in the county are deploying troops.
Reinforce Longding Fortress, it seems that they want to fight a blocking battle with our army here. If we delay for one more day, the strength of Longding Fortress will increase a lot."
After hearing this, all the generals fell silent. The deployment of siege weapons was certainly beneficial to siege the city, but when the fortress had more troops, its own advantage was immediately smoothed out.
While people were thinking hard about strategies to defeat the enemy, Tang Yin's eyes lit up and he asked: "You mean, Longhu County is adding troops to Longding Fortress all over the county?"
The Sky Eye and the Earth Network Detective nodded at the same time and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Tang Yin slowly narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "This is an opportunity!"
Lingshuang was confused and asked, "What does Brother Wang mean..."
Kong Qing continued: "His Royal Highness the Wind King is planning to let our troops pretend to be reinforcements for the fortress and sneak into the fortress?"
Tang Yin glanced at him appreciatively and secretly thought that Kong Qing reacted very quickly and had a very sharp mind.
He nodded and said: "That's right! We have so many Zhenjun brothers. We don't need to disguise ourselves at all. We can directly go to the fortress with great fanfare. As long as we can sneak in, even if there are only a few thousand people, we can cooperate inside and outside.
You can easily capture Longding Fortress."
When everyone heard this, they all nodded their heads, but when they thought about it, they felt that it was not easy.
You can't just sneak into a stronghold if you want to. The other side will also strictly check the Zhenjun who comes for reinforcements. Once the other side sees a flaw, it will be like a meat bun beating a dog, and there will be no return.
Without waiting for others to speak, Tang Yin turned to Letian and Ai Jia and said: "Send your subordinates and carefully check where reinforcements have been sent and where reinforcements have not been sent. Go immediately!"
Just as Lotte was about to respond, Ai Jia stood up and said, "No need to check, General Mo has the details of reinforcements from various places here." As she spoke, she took out a list and handed it to Tang Yin.
Tang Yin was surprised and happy. He looked at Ai Jia in surprise and asked with a smile: "Ai Jia, where did you get this? I didn't ask you to check these!"
Ai Jia looked at Lotte and said, "The general believes that the collection of intelligence should be as detailed and extensive as possible. This is what the general has always asked his subordinates to do. Although many of them may not be useful, we should collect more general information."
There’s no harm in it.”
Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said to Letian: "What Ai Jia said makes sense! Letian, you should learn more from Ai Jia."
The relationship between Tianyan and Diwang has always been in a state of semi-cooperation and semi-competition. They are both intelligence agencies and in the same camp. Cooperation is inevitable, but the competition is also fierce. The soldiers on both sides are friendly on the surface, but they are also in the same camp in their hearts.
They are all holding their breath. Lotte may not be like this, but Ai Jia definitely has this mentality.
The list listed by Diwang is very detailed. The entire Longhu County, how many troops were sent to each county, and which city are all recorded. It may not be accurate, but it is roughly the same.
Tang Yin looked at it for a while, then asked someone to get a map of Longhu County, and then drew on the map the list.
Soon, he discovered that Xinyu County in Longhu County had not sent reinforcements, and asked Ai Jia: "Of the three counties in Longhu County, two counties and seven cities sent troops to reinforce Longding Fortress. Why did Xinyu County's three cities and one city not send out troops?
"
"Your Majesty, it's like this," Ai Jia stepped forward and explained while pointing to the map: "Xinyu County is close to Xitang. Most of the local troops in the county have been recruited to the Central Army, and the remaining troops have also been gathered in Xitang.
Among the cities in the county, if Longhu County is the last barrier to Xitang, then Xinyu County is the last line of defense, and no one dares to dispatch Xinyu County’s troops.”
"That's it!" Tang Yin nodded while listening. His eyes fell back on the map for a while, and then asked: "Which county is under the jurisdiction of Qiqin Town at the junction of Xinyu County and Longkou County?"
"This..." Ai Jia really couldn't answer this question for a while.
Kong Qing continued: "This place belongs to Longkou County. When Qiqin Town was hit by disasters in the past, all the food relief was allocated by Longkou County."
"Well! Looking at the list, Qiqin County has not sent troops to reinforce Longding Fortress." Tang Yin rubbed his chin and murmured.
After pondering for a moment, he said to Kong Qing: "General Kong, please immediately select a thousand elite subordinates and follow me to Longding Fortress. By the way, help me find a suitable military uniform."
Huh? After hearing this, the expressions of everyone present changed. Even Ling Shuang trembled. She knew that Tang Yin always liked taking risks, but he was very powerful in spiritual martial arts, so it was nothing. But it was different now, he had released
The shadow clone has no spiritual energy in his body. To put it bluntly, he is no different from ordinary people now. If he wants to take risks at this time, doesn't it mean he is looking for death?
Others advised Tang Yin to be polite even if he was anxious, but Lingshuang was different and asked bluntly: "Brother Wang, do you think he will live longer?"
Tang Yin smiled and asked, "Sister Wang, do you think I will die in the enemy's fortress?"
"Isn't it possible?" Lingshuang raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically: "Brother Wang, I'm afraid that even a junior spiritual cultivator can't defeat him now. If he dares to go deep into the enemy's interior to act as an internal agent, I'm afraid that not only will he fail, but he will also end up...
He will end up dead without a burial place."
A flash of light flashed in Tang Yinhu's eyes. Without Lingwu cultivation, is his martial arts really so vulnerable? He raised the corner of his mouth, changed the topic, and asked: "Wang Mei is afraid that she will be in trouble in the future."
Widowed?"
Lingshuang Yu's face turned red, and she replied with shame and anger: "Only ghosts are afraid..."
Before she finished speaking, Tang Yin said in a deep voice: "Then there is no need to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind!"
"You'd better die right away!" Lingshuang was young, not yet twenty, and was born as a monarch. She also had a pampered temper. She didn't agree with Tang Yin, so the little girl walked away angrily on the spot.
