C94

Not long after Tang Yin returned to Fringe City, Qiu Zhen, Bai Yong, Zhu Nuo and the other core members of the military all heard the news and came over.

Obviously, everyone was excited about the outcome of the battle. After seeing Tang Yin, they all went up to him with faces full of joy and inquired about the details of the battle. But Tang Yin was not in a good mood like them, his expression was gloomy.

Seeing that, everyone was at a loss. They did not understand why the Savage Soldier which he had defeated the invader did not have the slightest sign of happiness on his face. It must be known that defeating the Savage Soldier on the battlefield was a very impressive thing!

Seeing what everyone was thinking, Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Should we celebrate now?"

"Of course!" Zhu Nuo was a straightforward person, without even thinking about it, he said: "It has been a long time since our army has obtained victory over the Savage Soldier, this victory is really exciting!"

"That's right!" The others also followed suit.

Tang Yin shook his head and said: "As far as I know, Savage Soldier has always been a very vengeful mind, and this time we suffered a huge loss in Wangwang Town. I believe it won't be long before we all think about how we should defend ourselves against the heavy soldier's counterattack."

"This …" When these words came out, Zhu Nuo was momentarily speechless, and the excitement on his face disappeared along with it. As the commander of the third legion of Pingyuan County, he was naturally well aware of the habits of Savage Soldier, and was also clear that Tang Yin's speculations were not fear-mongering, so once Savage Soldier attacked on a large scale, it would be extremely difficult for their side to defend against it with their current manpower.

The others all took deep breaths at the same time. They all lowered their heads, deep in thought.

After a long while, Qiu Zhen asked, "If Savage Soldier comes back for revenge, I wonder how many troops would there be?"

Without waiting for Tang Yin to speak, Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong both replied, "Since our Savage Soldier has suffered, there will definitely be more troops coming at us!" It should be at least 50,000 yuan and above! "

"So many people!" Qiu Zhen was secretly speechless. Currently, although there are two new legions of Pingyuan County, and a total of five new legions, their manpower is still far from being able to reach fifty thousand, and more than half of the troops are inexperienced recruits, so their combat power is very low. Adding the defensive areas and the numerous towns, their forces are scattered, it is almost impossible to defend against fifty thousand people of Savage Soldier.

Bai Yong said in a serious tone: "Master, most likely the target of our Savage Soldier would be the Fringe City, I suggest that we immediately transfer two more divisions to the Fringe City, while the other two divisions will guard the Heng City, as long as we can ensure that neither division loses, then our Savage Soldier will not be able to harm our vitality!"

"Hm!" General Bai's words are reasonable! " Everyone nodded in agreement.

Tang Yin muttered to himself for a moment, then asked: "General Bai, which two groups do you think we should transfer to Fringe City?"

"Fourth, Fifth Regiment!" Bai Yong didn't even think about it.

"New regiment?" Qiu Zhen frowned. The fourth and the fifth legions were new legions that had just been established. They were completely new legions. If they were assigned to the most dangerous border city, wouldn't 10,000 soldiers come here to die? He asked doubtfully, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate to do this?"

Bai Yong sighed, and said: "Master Qiu, I had no choice but to do this! Although the target of Savage Soldier is very likely Fringe City, we have to guard against the enemy's sneak attack on us. Heng City is a city in a county, so we cannot afford to lose any of it, and keeping two old companies with rich combat experience is still relatively safe, and in addition, although the fourth and Fifth Regiment are new, they still have to participate in the battle. Otherwise, they will forever be new legions, and they will not be of much use to us, this will also be a rare opportunity for us to train our troops! " Pausing for a moment, he hurriedly added: "Of course, I do not have any cowardly intentions. If Master feels that it is safer to arrange Second Regiment in Fringe City, I also have no objections!"

He was the regiment commander of Second Regiment, and proposed to have his own regiment guard the Heng City. He was also afraid that others, especially his comrades in charge of Fifth Regiment, would misunderstand.

Qiu Zhen carefully thought about what he had said. Although he felt that Bai Yong's words were reasonable, but asking two new legions to defend against the enemy's heavy soldiers was definitely not going to work, and would instead increase the number of casualties on their side. It was too difficult to be in the Pingyuan County, the troops were extremely valuable, how could they give up without paying a price?

He shook his head and said to Tang Yin: "Master, sending the Fourth and Fifth Regiment to Fringe City is still not appropriate!"

was right, the Heng City was the most important thing, if the Heng City was broken, then it would be considered as a complete failure for him, the county governor. However, if the two new legions were transferred to Fringe City, when the Savage Soldier counterattacked, who knows how many people would be killed or injured. It was a difficult choice.

Tang Yin was a decisive person in the past, and would never hesitate when something comes, and he would immediately make a decision. But it was different now, he was no longer alone, and his current decision would affect the lives and deaths of the tens of thousands of people guarding the Pingyuan County, or even the hundreds of thousands of lives and death of the entire Pingyuan County.

He bit his lip and didn't speak for a long time.

Just at this time, a guard ran in from outside, came up to Tang Yin, knelt on one knee, and said: "Reporting, Sir, the citizens of Wangwang Town have arrived outside the city, and are waiting to be settled!"

Hearing that, Tang Yin regained his senses, and said to the guards: As for this matter, just let the Mayor from Fringe City arrange the arrangements!

"This …" The guard looked troubled.

Zhang Zhou took over: "Master, there are no Mayor s in Fringe City!"

"Oh?" Tang Yin was startled, if not for Zhang Zhou making things clear, he really would have forgotten about it. After coming to Fringe City for so long, he had not seen Mayor in Fringe City. He asked, "What's going on?"

Zhang Zhou laughed bitterly: "Fringe City has been invaded by the Savage Soldier many times and Mayor has also been killed many times. After that, there are no longer any citizens in Fringe City and Mayor is naturally no longer needed.

"So what was it?!" Tang Yin let out a faint sigh of relief. With such a great Feng Country, such a great Pingyuan County, yet he was actually bullied by the Savage Country to such a state.

He slowly clenched his fist, and as if he was muttering to the surrounding people, he slowly said word by word, "I don't care what the Pingyuan County used to be like, but when I am serving as the county governor of Pingyuan County, I will never allow any city within the Pingyuan County to be breached!"

He turned and said to Zhang Zhou: "General Zhang, assign some people to settle the citizens who have come!"

"Yes!" "My Lord!" Zhang Zhou stood up straight and turned to leave.

Tang Yin suddenly remembered something, extended his hand to stop him, and said: "That's right, there's a captain called Xiao Muqing who's guarding the array, bring him to me, now!"

"Xiao Muqing?" Zhang Zhou was startled, seeing that Tang Yin's expression was not good, he dared not ask further, agreed, and quickly walked out.

He was not unfamiliar with the name Xiao Muqing, because this person's military age was a bit older than his. It was a pity that this person only had hard work and no contributions, and never had the chance to get promoted.

He did not know why Tang Yin was looking for Xiao Muqing, but he still obediently followed Tang Yin's orders to find Xiao Muqing and bring him forward. At the same time, he arranged for the troops under him to settle the citizens of Wangwang Town who had come to seek refuge.

As the outskirts of the city was almost empty, there were many uninhabited residences, so it was very easy for there to be thousands of citizens under Wangwang Town.

As for Zhang Zhou, he led Xiao Muqing to meet Tang Yin.

, Bai Yong and the other elders guarding the Pingyuan County all disapproved of Xiao Muqing, feeling that he was cunning and cowardly, but Tang Yin was very courteous to him. Seeing that Xiao Muqing had arrived, he slightly bowed, revealed a smile, and waved his hand: "Please take a seat Captain Xiao!"

"Thank you, master!" never thought that Tang Yin would actually look for him, and was overwhelmed by the favor shown. Furthermore, everyone in the hall was either Regiment Chief or Vice Regiment Chief, he was merely a small captain, and was out of place with everyone's status. She sat on the chair as though she was on pins and needles, and was extremely careful.

Tang Yin sized Xiao Muqing up again, the latter wasn't particularly handsome, at most he could be considered delicate and pretty, with a medium build, neither fat nor skinny, it could be said to be plain and ordinary, only that his eyes occasionally revealed a bright luster.

He asked with a smile: "Captain Xiao, do you think that Savage Soldier suffered a loss this time, and will definitely return to take revenge?"

"Yes!" "My Lord!" Xiao Muqing straightened his body and answered respectfully in a low voice.

"The target is Fringe City?"

"The probability of being in Fringe City is the highest!"

"Then tell me, if Savage Soldier were to really attack Fringe City, how many guards do you think should remain?"

Not understanding why Tang Yin would ask such an important question, everyone's gaze all landed on Xiao Muqing.

Hearing Tang Yin's question, Xiao Muqing's spirit also shook. At the same time that he was surprised, he also realized that his chance to show off had arrived. He rolled his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Twenty thousand is enough!"

"What?"

The expressions of everyone in the hall changed. Zhu Nuo leaned forward, and said with a deep voice. "Xiao Muqing, what are you saying? "This is not a place for you to speak nonsense …"

Tang Yin waved his hand and stopped Zhu Nuo. With a smile on his face, he asked Xiao Muqing gently: "Tell me, why is it only required for twenty thousand people?"

Xiao Muqing said: My guess is that the number of people coming from Savage Soldier will not exceed 60,000 once again, but even so, the number of troops will still exceed ours by a lot, if we guard the city, even if we barely resist the enemy in the end, the losses will not be small, rather than passively taking a beating, we might as well take the initiative and attack!

"Using twenty thousand people to take the initiative to attack the Savage Soldier, isn't that equivalent to seeking death?" Bai Yong asked calmly.

Xiao Muqing laughed and said: If we fight head on, of course we won't have the advantage, but if we send a group of soldiers to ambush near Fringe City and wait for the Savage Soldier to attack, then suddenly we will attack together with the brothers in the city from the inside and from the outside, striking from the outside, catching everyone off guard, and able to disrupt the Savage Soldier camp and destroy them!

"This is simply a joke!" Zhu Nuo curled his lips and said: "Outside Fringe City, it is completely flat, and only the mountains to the east can be used as an ambush. However, the Savage Army has always been very cunning, and it is not unguarded, nor uninvestigated.
