These four thousand soldiers were completely different from the ones Tang Yin saw yesterday. They were neatly dressed and armored, carrying sabers at their waists and holding spears. Perhaps it was because of the military pay and the fact that they wore cotton-padded clothes and new armor. The soldiers were full of energy.
She is also much fuller, with her back straight and straight, and you can feel the momentum just by looking at her.
Well! Tang Yin nodded secretly. Regardless of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, as long as their morale improved, they would look much more pleasing to the eye.
He walked to the high platform of the school military field, his eyes were like lightning, and he slowly looked around at the soldiers below, and said in a loud voice: "I am the new county magistrate of Pingyuan County, Tang Yin. I have summoned all brothers here today to eliminate banditry.
."
It was quiet below, and people held their breath and listened to his speech with rapt attention.
"Bandits are rampant, and merchants do not dare to come to my Pingyuan County to do business. Without trade, Pingyuan County cannot be said to be prosperous, and the people cannot talk about food and clothing. If the people are not fed and clothed, how can we talk about stability? Even stability is achieved
If not, how can we talk about fighting against foreign enemies. Therefore, bandits are a serious problem in Pingyuan County and must be eradicated. I hope all brothers can work together with me. Even if we do not talk about the principle of defending our country, at least we must be worthy of this burden on us.
Sub-military uniforms, and the weapons in our hands!"
His words were reasonable, sincere and practical, and quite inspiring. In addition, Tang Yin brought the greatest benefits to the soldiers as soon as he came to Pingyuan County, which made his reputation in his army extremely high. After listening to his words, all the soldiers gathered together.
He shouted: "Purge the bandits! Purge the bandits! Purge the bandits..."
For a time, the shouts were like thunder and continued for a long time.
Even Zhang Zhou, who was most reluctant to go to suppress the bandits, was influenced by the soldiers at this time and couldn't help but raise his arms and shout along with the soldiers.
Bai Yong saw it clearly from the sidelines and couldn't help but nod his head. Tang Yin can be regarded as a convincing coach, worthy of risking one's life to follow him.
Tang Yin led more than 4,000 soldiers under his command and marched out of Hengcheng to the bandit stronghold of the Shangguan brothers.
There was no talking all the way, and at noon the next day, the team arrived at Sandaoling.
Sandaoling is a mountainous area where the Shangguan brothers' den is located.
Before entering the mountain, Tang Yin ordered the team to stop and called his generals to discuss the next strategy.
Tang Yin adopted Qiu Zhen's suggestion and decided to personally lead 500 soldiers into the mountain to challenge the Shangguan brothers alone, and then lead them away.
After hearing his words, everyone shook their heads, feeling that this was too risky. After all, Tang Yin was the coach, and if he got lost, something bad would happen.
However, Tang Yin was stubborn and Gu Yue and others did not dare to dissuade him. However, Bai Yong bluntly said, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this."
Tang Yin asked back: "What does General Bai think is wrong?"
Bai Yong said sternly: "Master Tang is the commander-in-chief of our army, and we must not take risks easily."
Tang Yin sneered at such rhetoric. If it was dangerous for him to go, wouldn't it mean that others would never return? Not only would they not be able to seduce the Shangguan brothers, but they would also have to risk their lives in vain.
Before he could speak, Bai Yong continued: "Besides, as a county guard, how could Mr. Tang bring only five hundred people to suppress the bandits? Although Shangguan brothers are not extremely smart, they may still be able to spot flaws.
."
Tang Yin's eyes became dark. This was an issue that he had not thought about. Yes, the Shangguan brothers all knew that they were county magistrates, so it was a bit unreasonable to bring only 500 people here.
He asked: "What about General Yibai's opinion?"
"Let me go!" Bai Yong said: "Although I am not familiar with the two Shangguan brothers, I also know their habits. It shouldn't be difficult for me to lead them away!"
"Sir, I think it's feasible for General Bai to go!" Qiu Zhen answered immediately.
"Oh..." Tang Yin thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay, General Bai will go on my behalf. In addition," as he said, he looked at Gu Yue and Letian again, and said, "General Gu, General Le
, you two accompany General Bai, so that you can take care of each other."
Guyue, Lotte, Li Wei, Liu Zhongsheng, Chen Fang, and Ai Jia have not yet been assigned specific positions. They are all classified as partial generals by Tang Yin. Their positions are not high, but not low either.
Bai Yong didn't want anyone else to accompany him, but he couldn't refuse Tang Yin's kindness. He raised his hands and saluted, "I obey!"
Tang Yin shook his head at Zhang Zhou and said, "Give me the map of this area."
Zhang Zhou agreed and hurriedly took out the map from his pocket and handed it to Tang Yin.
He took it, spread it on the ground, looked at it for a moment, pointed at the map, and said: "This is the bandit's den. General Li, General Liu, General Chen, and General Ai are ambushing me here. General Bai only needs to lure the Shangguan brothers."
Just go here!" He explained while tracing the map with his finger.
Bai Yong, Gu Yue, and Letian looked at it carefully and nodded repeatedly.
Tang Yin continued: "General Zhang led the remaining 3,500 brothers to ambush here. After General Bai and Shangguan brothers were lured away, he led his army to attack the bandits' stronghold. Be quick and ruthless. Don't fight with them."
If bandits are entangled, fight them quickly!"
"I understand!" At the moment of the military order, Zhang Zhou did not dare to be vague and raised his voice to follow the order.
After everything was explained clearly, Tang Yin put away the map and led the crowd into the mountainous area.
Let us say that Bai Yong, Guyue, and Letian led five hundred soldiers and rushed to the bandit's stronghold as quickly as possible.
Not long after walking out of the mountains, there was a rapid whistle in front of me, and the sharp sound came one after another, gradually spreading further and further away.
Seeing Gu Yue and Letian's solemn expressions, subconsciously clenching their weapons, Bai Yong smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, two generals. This is the bandit's sentinel who has discovered our whereabouts and is passing news to the stronghold."
"Will the bandits come out soon?" Guyue asked.
Bai Yong is about the same age as him, but in terms of combat experience, Gu Yue is far behind him.
"We have to wait a little longer. You can tell just by listening to the whistle. The bandits were surprised by our arrival and were unprepared." Bai Yong said easily while riding on his horse.
Sure enough, the group of them walked forward for a long time and did not encounter any bandits who came out, but from time to time they could hear whistles in the distance.
The crowd walked deeper and deeper into the mountain. After a while, Bai Yong stopped his horse and raised his arm to stop the team's advance.
Gu Yue was puzzled and asked: "General Bai, what's wrong?"
"If we go further, we will be too far away from the place where Mr. Tang ambushed." Bai Yong raised his eyes and looked forward, his face gradually became serious, and he said: "The whistle of the bandits has stopped. It is estimated that they have gathered their men.
Come out to fight."
Guyue and Letian looked suspicious, not believing Bai Yong's speculation. The situation ahead was calm and it didn't look like a large group of bandits were about to break out.
Just as the two of them were muttering silently in their hearts, they suddenly heard a burst of laughter from ahead, and then someone shouted: "I wonder who dares to lead people into the mountain. It turns out to be General Bai. What kind of wind is blowing General Bai away today?"
Have you reached my three-thirds of an acre?"
Hearing the sound, everyone was shocked and looked up.
Two people quickly jumped out of the grass in front of them. These two people were none other than Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao. Behind them, countless bandits in messy clothes followed.
Bai Yong really guessed it right! Gu Yue and Letian glanced at him a few more times in unison.
The surprise on Bai Yong's face disappeared even faster as it appeared.
He used to meet the twins often in Hengcheng. There was no friendship between them, but they did not become enemies. Later, the Shangguan brothers became bandits and they never interacted with each other again.
He looked at the two of them for a moment and said faintly: "You two, because of the relationship between you two brothers, I used to turn a blind eye to what you two did, and didn't interfere or ask questions, but this time you two did
He went too far and even robbed the county governor, Mr. Tang. Today I was ordered to come to fight against him, so I have offended him so much!"
"Haha!" Shangguan Yuanbiao looked up and laughed and said: "Bai Yong, you are also a very famous figure in Pingyuan County. You should listen to my advice and abandon the army as soon as possible. If you like to lead troops to fight, then follow us.
Brothers, if not, you will die on the battlefield sooner or later. Serving in the army in Pingyuan County will have no future and no benefits, so why do you have to ask for trouble?"
Bai Yong shook his head and smiled, and said: "In the past, I might have listened to your advice, but it is different now. Mr. Tang is a rare and wise coach. I believe that with Mr. Tang here, Pingyuan County will be able to rebuild peace.
Brother Shangguan, I would like to advise you two to give up your identity as bandits, join the army with me, and follow Mr. Tang. You will definitely achieve something and you will never be disappointed."
"Fart!" Shangguan Yuanbiao snorted coldly: "The general is incompetent, and his subordinates will die first. All of the successive county governors of Pingyuan County came with great authority, and eventually killed countless soldiers. I don't think this new Tang Yin is any different."
"Bai Yong, it doesn't matter if you don't listen to my brother's advice. You can take your people and get out of here, otherwise...hehe!" He smiled strangely but said nothing.
"So what?"
"Otherwise, don't blame my brother for being ruthless and killing you without even leaving a trace!"
"Hmph!" Bai Yong sneered and said proudly: "One generation has been a bandit, and every generation has been a bandit. Not only do you two not want to repent, but you also use forceful words. Poor Shangguan family has lost all face by you two, you and other bandits.
, what qualifications do you have to speak nonsense in front of me?"
"Oops!" Shangguan Yuanbiao jumped up in anger, pointed at Bai Yong's nose and yelled: "Damn it, I have good intentions, but you are so stupid. Since you want to die, I will help you today!"
As he spoke, he swung his gun and rushed towards Bai Yong.
Bai Yong deliberately angered the Shangguan brothers. On the surface, he was not afraid of the two of them, but in fact he did not dare to be careless at all. He was too familiar with the cultivation of the two brothers. If he really took action, he would have no chance of winning. He just wanted to see what he could do.
How long to hold on.
He quickly jumped off his horse, took off his long sword from the saddle bridge, and faced Shangguan Yuan Biao.
During the fight, his mouth was not idle, and he said sarcastically again and again: "With you two brothers, I feel ashamed for brother Yuanji. It's okay for you to fall for yourself, but you have also caused brother Yuanji to get a bad reputation. I
If it were you two, you would have died in a head-on collision long ago. You would be embarrassed and conspicuous even if you were alive, and your brothers would be hurt..."
