Knowing that Shangguan Yuanbiao had misunderstood, Cheng Jin waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Suing for peace can be divided into active and passive aspects. Of course, it is unacceptable for us to take the initiative to seek peace from the barbarian countries. However, if the barbarian countries can take the initiative to ask for peace from us,
And, that’s different.”
As soon as these words came out, Shangguan Yuanbiao's anger was mostly extinguished, and he asked in a naive voice: "How can we make the barbarian countries take the initiative to seek peace from us?"
Cheng Jin said seriously: "This requires a change, a change in thinking." After a pause, he explained in detail: "Now the Barbarians are wolves, and we are the sheep, so it is always the Barbarians who take the initiative, and we will always take the initiative.
They are all passively being beaten and resisting. If we want the barbarians to sue for peace from us, we must reverse this situation. Let us be wolves and let the barbarians be sheep. We must take the initiative to attack, take the initiative to attack, and even take the initiative to plunder.
The barbarians are barbaric, so we should be more barbaric than them. Only in this way will the barbarians fear us from the bottom of their hearts, and peace will last longer."
His words coincided with what Tang Yin was thinking. Tang Yin was not a passive person, especially on the battlefield. His rule was to constantly attack, attack, and attack again, crushing his opponent to death with a sharp offensive.
He also considered sending troops to the barbarian country, but there were too many restrictive conditions. First of all, he didn't know whether it was feasible for him to do so. If he made a mistake, many people would be killed. In addition, the current conditions in Pingyuan County did not allow it.
The reason is that the troops are not strong, and the second is that the intelligence is blocked and he has no understanding of the barbarian country. Now that he heard Cheng Jin analyze it like this, he completely dispelled his doubts. He felt that such a strategy was indeed feasible, but it was not limited by objective conditions.
It can be changed by human subjectivity.
He nodded with a smile and praised: "Cheng Jin, what you said makes sense, but sending troops to barbarian countries also requires strong military power and strength as the basis."
Cheng Jin shrugged and said casually: "I think sometimes a surprise attack may achieve miraculous results."
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. When Tang Yin heard this, his heart moved, and a bold and risky plan slowly emerged in his mind.
On this day, the barbarian soldiers did not invade; on the second day, it was still calm; on the third day, there was still no movement from the barbarian soldiers; on the fourth day, it was as usual, without any disturbance.
Tang Yin and his people hid in Yuanwang Town for six days.
Staying in a small space for a long time and being isolated from the world can drive people crazy. Fortunately, there are two newcomers, Cheng Jin and Ao Qing, around him. Chatting with them does not make Tang Yin too boring.
Day six, early morning.
Tang Yin and others were still sleeping when they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from the end of the tunnel. The other end of the tunnel led to the outside of the town. When footsteps were heard, it could only be said that someone was coming from the entrance of the tunnel outside the town.
Recently.
Because he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, Tang Yin had extremely strong six senses, and his ears and eyes were smarter than ordinary people. He was the first to wake up and stood up almost instinctively. His sudden move also immediately woke up the other four people, Shangguan brothers and Cheng Jin.
, Ao Qing asked at the same time: "Sir, what's wrong..."
"Hush! Someone is coming!" As he spoke, he put out the small oil lamp, and instantly, the tunnel fell into darkness. The Shangguan brothers, Cheng Jin, and Ao Qing listened intently, but heard nothing. After a while,
Only then did the four of them hear the sound of slight footsteps coming from the end of the tunnel. They were alert and at the same time surprised that Tang Yin's hearing was so powerful that it was simply shocking.
The five of them exuded spiritual energy, released their spiritual armor, and displayed their weapons at the same time to complete the spiritual transformation of their soldiers. They were ready to fight. As long as the opponent came out of the tunnel, the five of them could launch a fatal attack at the same time.
Time passed quickly, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and you could even hear the other party's breathing while running.
Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao were unable to see and were even more nervous. They heard the footsteps getting closer, so close that they were almost in front of them. They both roared at the same time, and the spirited silver spears in their hands followed suit.
Stab it out hard.
The moment they took out their guns, Tang Yin suddenly shouted: "Stop!"
Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao changed their colors when they heard the sound. It was too late to retract the spears they thrust out, so they could only try to deflect the spears outward and stab them elsewhere.
Bang, bang!
With two muffled sounds, the two spiritual spears pierced the wall of the tunnel with such force that two large holes were punched out of the wall.
At this time, Tang Yin relit the small oil lamp, and the Shangguan brothers took a closer look. It turned out that the young man running close to him from outside was a young man in black clothes. He was only in his early twenties, but judging from his appearance and clothes, he was definitely not a barbarian soldier.
Their spears were stabbed at the left and right sides of the young man's head, so close to him that they were almost touching his cheek. If the Shangguan brothers' guns were even half an inch off, the young man would be dead.
At that moment, the young man also saw the situation clearly. He stared dumbly at the two guns close at hand, and cold sweat suddenly broke out.
"Sir... Your Excellency... I... I am a subordinate of General Ai, and I am here to report!" The young man reached into his arms, took out a military badge, and handed it to Tang Yin tremblingly.
Tang Yin stepped forward and took it, but also signaled to the Shangguan brothers to take back their weapons. The military badge was unique to the Feng Kingdom. In addition, it also had the word "detection" engraved on it to indicate the identity of the spy. After reading it, Tang Yin reluctantly
He couldn't help but laugh, it's a shame Ai Jia could figure it out! He asked in confusion: "Didn't General Ai return to Hengcheng?"
"We went back to Hengcheng, but the general was worried about the border town and worried about your safety, so soon after returning to Hengcheng, he led us back to the border town to explore the enemy's situation!"
"That's it!" Tang Yin didn't say much, but his heart felt warm. He asked, "What's going on outside now?"
The young man swallowed his foam, took a few breaths, and said, "Sir, the barbarians have crossed the border and are heading towards the border town. There are also at least one regiment of barbarians heading here!"
After hearing this, Tang Yin's nerves immediately became tense. The barbarian soldiers' revenge finally came. He was in a state of excitement and nervousness at the same time. He asked: "How many people are there in the barbarian soldiers?"
The young man grinned and said, "They are overwhelming, countless."
What kind of answer is this? Tang Yin was almost angry, and he said in a solemn voice: "What does overwhelming mean, there are countless enemies? No matter how many enemies there are, there must be a number!"
"This...excluding the 10,000 barbarians who marched towards Yuanwang Town, there are at least 50,000 barbarians attacking the border town."
Fifty thousand? In addition to the 10,000 barbarian soldiers coming this way, the opponent has at least 60,000 people. It seems that we have underestimated the strength of the barbarian soldiers' counterattack.
Now Tang Yin is not worried about himself, but worried about the border town. The border town defenders are less than 20,000, and they are all new soldiers. Even if Qiu Zhen, who is extremely agile, is in charge, it is still unknown whether he can withstand the fierce attack of 50,000 enemy soldiers. He
After a moment of silence, he said to the young man: "Go back quickly and notify General Ai. Keep abreast of the enemy's every move. If anything unexpected happens, notify me immediately!"
"Understood! I'll take my leave!" After saying this, the young man didn't even bother to wipe the sweat from his head, turned around and ran out.
"Sir, there are so many barbarians, can the border city withstand it?" Shangguan Yuanwu asked worriedly.
Tang Yin also wanted to know whether he could withstand it, but it was too late to worry about it now, and he could only resign himself to fate. He took a deep breath and said seriously: "Don't worry about the border town, we just need to take care of ourselves, and everything will go according to plan!
"
"Yes! Sir!" Although Tang Yin didn't say much, his words were always reassuring. Shangguan Yuanwu agreed and asked no more questions.
At this time, time began to become longer, and now was the most critical moment. Whether the original plan could be implemented smoothly depended on whether the incoming barbarians would discover their whereabouts.
After an unknown amount of time, everyone felt the sound of chaotic footsteps coming from above their heads, and there was also a faint roar mixed in among them.
The barbarian soldiers have arrived at Yuanwang Town! Tang Yin moved his body to the entrance of the tunnel and listened quietly to the movement outside.
Obviously, the barbarian soldiers did not expect that Yuanwang Town would turn into an empty town. There was not a single living person in the whole town. The barbarian soldiers had nowhere to vent their anger, so they transferred it to the houses in the town. For a time, they collided with each other.
The sound of doors and banging could be heard one after another.
Although he couldn't understand the language of the barbarian state, Tang Yin could tell that the other party's soldiers were shouting and cursing.
Suddenly, Tang Yin realized a serious problem. What if the barbarian soldiers really vented their anger on the small town and set it on fire? Would their two thousand soldiers be suffocated to death in cellars and tunnels?
Thinking of this, beads of sweat flowed down his temples.
However, his worries were unnecessary. Although the barbarians entered the territory of the Feng Kingdom and killed and robbed them, they would never set fire to the city. They regarded the Feng people as their own sheep. Once the city was burned down, the Feng people would be killed.
With no land to live in, they all moved inland, which would also add big trouble to their plundering.
No one could be found in the town, and after the barbarians smashed and made trouble, they left angrily and headed to the border town, preparing to meet up with the barbarians there and attack the border town together.
After all the barbarian soldiers left, Tang Yin's heart sank into his throat and he thought to himself, "What a dangerous situation! Fortunately, the enemy did not set fire to the town, otherwise our entire army would have been annihilated here."
He retreated to the end of the tunnel, leaned against the wall, and sat down slowly.
Hearing the footsteps above his head getting farther and farther, Cheng Jin asked: "Should the barbarian soldiers leave?"
Tang Yin nodded and said, "Let's go!"
Shangguan Yuanbiao asked: "Sir, what should we do next?"
"Wait!" Tang Yin said faintly: "When our spies return the news and confirm that the barbarians have begun to attack the city, we will rush out in one go!"
Cheng Jinsong said in a tone: "The barbarian soldiers have come from afar and must be tired. They should not attack the city immediately."
"Definitely!" Before Tang Yin could speak, Shangguan Yuanwu said seriously: "Barbarian soldiers always like to fight quickly, and I have never seen them rest before attacking. I have lived in Pingyuan County for more than 20 years, and I understand
Their style."
Cheng Jin frowned and muttered: "Forcibly attacking the city with a tired army is a desperate move. This should be a taboo for military strategists!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yin raised his head and smiled, focused his gaze, and said word by word: "So, we must win this battle!" Then he added: "We must win!"
