Hearing the shouts from behind, Tang Yin and the surrounding generals were stunned. They all turned around and looked back. Shangguan Yuan Biao, who was about to urge his horse to rush out, also subconsciously reined in his horse.
With the rapid sound of horse hooves, a Tanma riding a fast horse rushed up to Tang Yin. Before the horse came to a complete stop, he rolled off the horse, ran forward two steps quickly, and kneeled
He knelt down and said breathlessly: "Sir, something bad has happened. Our army has been attacked by enemy forces in the rear!"
"What?" When Tang Yin heard this, he immediately frowned. The enemy attacked in a sneak attack? Where did the enemy come from? There was no enemy ambush along the way! Furthermore, with so many people in his own army, thousands of enemy troops simply could not be attacked.
He couldn't hurt his own side. He asked: "Where was the attack? How many enemy troops are there?"
The detective report said: "Yes... the team escorting grain and grass from the rear was attacked by the enemy. The number of enemies has not yet been determined. When Mr. Qiu led the team back to rescue, the enemy troops had already run away. I... our army
Most of the food and grass were burned!"
"Ah?" Tang Yin took a breath. This was not an attack on his own large army, but an attack on his logistics troops. But this was more serious than the attack on his own army. If there was no food and grass in the army, how could the battle continue?
Tang Yin sat on the horse, clenching his fists. The enemy was so cunning that he sneaked around behind him.
At this time, Tang Yin also roughly figured out Mao An's plan. As Qiu Zhen said, he did deliberately kill the envoys sent by his side to anger himself. When his side was launching a large-scale attack, he used his familiarity with geography to
The advantage is secretly transferred to one's own back, and the logistical supplies are attacked secretly, forcing one's own troops to retreat.
Tang Yin was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth, pointed at Linqiao City in front, and shouted: "Don't worry about the rear, let alone worry about food and grass, attack with the whole army, and we will take down Linqiao City in one fell swoop!"
"Yes! Sir!" All the surrounding generals stepped in to take orders.
This time, not only Shangguan Yuanbiao went into battle, but also Tang Yin and his soldiers. The 10,000 light cavalry team ran at full speed, like a sharp sword, piercing Linqiao City. Tang Yin was
Having made up his mind, Mao An could sneak attack his own logistics, and he could also take down his old nest. In such a large county, there would definitely be a large amount of food and grass stored in it, enough for his own supplies.
At this time, Linqiao City was no different from an empty city. The Peng army inside had already followed Mao An out of the city. When Tang Yin and others rushed to the city gate, the city was empty, not even a soldier standing guard. Tang Yin looked at it
After that, he laughed out loud, waved his hand and shouted: "Go up the wall! Go inside and open the city gate!"
Following his order, a group of Feng soldiers quickly got off their horses, took off the flying claws from the horses, walked to the foot of the city wall, and threw the flying claws up to the top of the city. After the flying claws were firmly grasped, the soldiers pulled the rope.
I quickly climbed up the city wall. There was really no one on the wall. When I looked into the city, it was completely empty. Not even a pedestrian could be seen on the streets in broad daylight. The huge county town seemed like a dead city.
The soldiers didn't care so much and entered the city along the city wall. Then they worked together to remove the latch of the city gate, opened the gate, and let their large group of people enter the city.
Due to Mao An's cunning, Tang Yin was more careful this time and did not dare to enter hastily. He first sent secret arrow personnel into the city to investigate, and after confirming that there was no ambush, he ordered the entire army to enter the city.
Of course, the county seat cannot be an empty city, but it is true that the people in the city are hiding in their homes and do not dare to come out. When the two armies are fighting and the war is in chaos, who dares to wander on the streets?
After Tang Yin entered the city, he looked around the streets and saw only the houses on both sides of the streets. The doors and windows of the stores were all closed. He took a deep breath, turned back to Cheng Jin, shook his head, and said, "Bring some people from this city here!"
"yes!"
Cheng Jin agreed, got off his horse, took two steps forward along the street, stopped in front of a large house, and then reached out to knock on the door.
Boom, boom, boom!
The sound of his banging on the door was extremely harsh in the dead city. After knocking for a while, no one came out to open the door. Cheng Jin frowned, took a step back, then raised his leg and kicked, and with a muffled bang, the house opened.
The big wooden door opened in response, and the wooden latch inside was shattered into two pieces.
As the door was kicked open, there was also a scream inside. Cheng Jin looked up and saw, well, it turned out that there was a group of people standing around in the courtyard of the house, including men and women, old and young. They were obviously...
The whole family, with pale and ugly faces and panicked expressions, looked at Cheng Jin who was wearing spiritual armor and the other assassins outside the door, and was so frightened that they did not dare to breathe.
"Why are you pretending to be deaf since we are all in the courtyard?" Cheng Jin strode into the courtyard, shook his head at the family and said, "Come out with me!"
"General, have mercy on me, general, have mercy on me -" The family members followed Cheng Jin into the hospital. They all trembled and fell to their knees with a crash, begging for mercy again and again.
What are they doing? He didn't want to kill them! Cheng Jin's frown deepened, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Everyone stand up and follow me out!"
The family didn't know what his intentions were, and they just thought he was going to kill someone. No one dared to stand up, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy. Cheng Jin didn't have the patience to waste time with them, turned around and shook his head at the secret arrow personnel and said: "Pull them all away."
come out!"
The hidden arrow personnel agreed and stepped forward together. Regardless of the cries of these men, women and children, they dragged them out of the yard one by one.
Soon, they were brought to Tang Yin's horse by secret agents.
Tang Yin lowered his head and looked at everyone, and saw that this family was shrinking into a ball in fear. He was puzzled. He was not a vicious person, so why would the people of Linqiao City be so afraid of their own soldiers? What he didn't know was that Mao An had already
He described the Tianyuan Army as a flood of beasts, calling them tigers and wolves, killing people like hemp, and all of them were bloodthirsty demons.
Under Mao An's repeated propaganda, the people of Linqiao City gradually began to fear and panic towards the Tianyuan Army.
Tang Yin's eyes fell on an old man in the crowd, and he asked with a smile: "Old man, you don't have to be afraid, I won't hurt you and your family. I just want to know where the county capital is and where the county treasury is.
"
The old man bravely raised his head and glanced at Tang Yin, then hurriedly lowered his head and said tremblingly: "I...I don't know..."
Isn't it ridiculous that people in the county don't know where the county capital and county treasury are?
Before Tang Yin could speak, Cheng Jin glared, stretched out his hand to grab the old man's collar, and said angrily: "The Tianyuan Army came to destroy the traitor Zhong Tian, but you defend the traitor party at every turn.
What are your intentions? Are you still considered a Feng Ren?"
The old man was lifted by him, and his feet were almost off the ground. How could you hear what he was saying? The old man's face was flushed red from holding back, and it looked like he might lose his breath at any time. When the family members around the old man saw this, they knelt down one after another.
Crying and shouting for mercy, it was a mess for a while.
Tang Yin was also secretly angry at these people. He suppressed his anger and shouted to stop Cheng Jin. Then his eyes turned to a little girl about ten years old. He bent down, grabbed the little girl's armpit, and pulled her away.
He picked her up, put her on the horse, and asked her to sit in front of him. He said with a smile: "Little girl, tell me how to get to the county capital!"
The little girl looked at Tang Yin curiously. Although her parents said that the Tianyuan Army killed people without blinking an eye, she didn't think Tang Yin was a bad person.
Of course, this is mainly because Tang Yin has a lovable face. Not only is he handsome, but he also has a natural smile. When he hides his evil spirit, his smile becomes more amiable, and the corners of his mouth reveal white and pointed tiger teeth, which makes him smile.
It's a little bit more cute.
The little girl was shocked at first when he hugged her, but she quickly calmed down in his smile. She looked directly at Tang Yin and whispered: "Mom said you are bad people..."
Tang Yin said with a smile: "We are not bad people, we are the ones who beat them up."
"Really?"
"certainly!"
"Then you kill people?"
"Only kill the bad guys!"
"Grandpa, grandma, dad and mom are all good people, and me too!"
Tang Yin was so amused by her words that he smiled and said, "That's why I won't kill you, but I will protect you."
"If this is the case... I will take you to the county capital!" The child had no plans and was moved by Tang Yin's few words. However, the little girl's family members were sweating coldly. No matter whether the Tianyuan Army would kill them or not, but
If the Tianyuan Army is led to the county capital and the county leader Mao An knows about it, it will also be a serious crime that will lead to the genocide!
Before they could say anything to stop the little girl, Tang Yin had already urged the war horse and shouted: "Let's go!"
With the guidance of the little girl, Tang Yin and his party hurriedly arrived at the gate of the county capital. They saw that the gate was closed tightly and it was quiet inside. There was no sound. Tang Yin turned his head and did not say anything. The Shangguan brothers beside him were waiting
People all came forward, broke open the door and broke into the house.
Everyone searched carefully in the county capital, not to mention not finding the county leader Mao An, not even a servant or guard. Everyone returned one after another and reported to Tang Yin, indicating that there was no one in the mansion. Tang Yin was not surprised.
, since Mao An has abandoned the city, his family must have escaped secretly.
He waved to everyone to signal them to return to the team, then looked down at the little girl leaning on his arms and asked: "Little girl, where is the county treasury?"
"It's not far ahead!" The little girl pointed to the left side of the county capital.
Tang Yin nodded, raised his hand and rubbed the girl's little head. At the same time, he knocked on the horse with both feet and galloped over.
Soon, Tang Yin and his party arrived at the county treasury again. Before they got closer, Tang Yin's heart was already cold because he saw the iron door of the county treasury open from a long way away. He waited until he got closer and took a look. Sure enough, it was spacious.
The county treasury was empty, not to mention food, even the treasury's silver had been moved away, leaving only weeds and scattered garbage.
Damn Mao An! After reading this, Tang Yin's teeth were itching. Now that his own food and grass have been destroyed, and there is no food in the county, what should he do? Is he really going to be forced to retreat?
But after thinking about it, Tang Yin laughed again. There is no food in the county treasury, so there must be food at home, right? Linqiao City is so big, and there are so many people in the city. If the food of each household is collected, it will be enough.
