If it was only against one Beast King Town, that would be acceptable, but if there were any nearby Savage Country towns, then this mission would be too risky.
Seeing the surprise and worry on everyone's faces, Tang Yin smiled and said: "Everyone, don't worry. General Le has already ascertained that the town is over fifty kilometers away from the Beast King Town.
Everyone was not as optimistic as Tang Yin, they felt that this battle was too dangerous, if they were not careful, Tang Yin's group would be trapped in Savage Country and be completely annihilated.
Tang Yin did not even give them the chance to interrupt him, he turned and said to Cheng Jin: "General Cheng, lead the hidden arrows with me. You do not need to break the formation to kill the enemy, you only need to stop the escaping Savage Soldier!"
Recently, Cheng Jin had become more and more trusted and valued by Tang Yin, and his position in the army had also been raised by the first mate. Even an elder like Zhang Zhou would be courteous to when he saw him. Hearing Tang Yin's command, Cheng Jin did not object, and without saying a word, he interposed himself and bowed: "This subordinate will do as you command!"
Tang Yin was not afraid of not being able to hit Beast King Town, he was more afraid of Savage Soldier escaping to the northwest of the city, attracting reinforcements, arranging for hidden arrows to kill Savage Soldier outside the city, which was the first layer of insurance, and arranging for Xiao Muqing to ambush someone five kilometers away from the second layer of insurance.
After everything was settled, Tang Yin looked at the people and asked: "Do you all have any other military matters to discuss?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
Seeing that, Tang Yin nodded his head: "If there is nothing else, please return. Whatever we discuss today, do not leak out!"
"This subordinate understands!" Everyone answered in unison.
"In addition," Tang Yin continued, "When all the Company Leaders return, each of them will pick out a thousand of the best riders."
"Yes!" "My Lord!" Of the Pingyuan County's five regiment leaders, only Bai Yong was not present. He was currently guarding the border city.
At this time, Tang Yin's strict requirements for the training of the soldiers were repaid. The tens of thousands of people in Pingyuan Army all knew how to ride techniques, and as soon as they got on the horses they would become cavalrymen and when they dismounted they would become infantry.
"Everyone, please return!"
"Yes!" This subordinate will take his leave! "
Everyone left in succession, each returning to their own homes to prepare. Qiu Zhen did not leave, he had a look of wanting to speak, but was unable to do so. Not knowing what he wanted, Tang Yin asked curiously: "Is there something?"
Qiu Zhen was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "The war horses that Master has brought with you should be paid for your sneak attack on Beast King Town!"
"Oh?" Tang Yin didn't understand why Qiu Zhen said that. From the border city to the Beast King Town, only a hundred Li, at such a close distance, there didn't seem to be a need to bring a spare war horse.
Qiu Zhen explained: "Beast King Town is a place where all sorts of materials are stored, and there are definitely a lot of things inside. If Master were to burn it down, it would be such a pity, if you could bring a portion back, then you can fill our Army's treasury!"
This was a fact, but there were only so many war horses on Mo Country and there was no payment left. If he wanted to bring a spare war horse, he had to reduce his staff, three thousand people going to Beast King Town was enough of a risk, if he weakened it would be even more of a risk, thus, it was difficult for Qiu Zhen to say anything.
Tang Yin did not actually think of this, but with Qiu Zhen's reminder, his heart suddenly moved, and thought, That's right, how could I have forgotten about this matter? [If I don't loot this place recklessly, wouldn't I be wasting this opportunity?]
He smiled at the sky and praised: "What you said makes sense. It looks like I can't bring the three thousand brothers there, I can only bring the two thousand brothers and a thousand empty horses to pull the resources from the Savage Country!"
Qiu Zhen was worried about that, and anxiously said: "But Master, aren't two thousand brothers a little too few. The spoils of war are small, the destruction of Beast King Town is big, please think twice! "
Tang Yin said unconcernedly: "Just three thousand Savage Soldier, what is there to be afraid of? If it's necessary, I can bring the one thousand five hundred brothers with me! "
Qiu Zhen trembled in fear. He understood Tang Yin's temperament; he really could keep his word. Qiu Zhen shook his head, and anxiously said: "One thousand empty horses is enough, I think we do not have that many resources in our Savage Soldier!"
"Yes!" Tang Yin also felt the same way. He laughed and said: "If this time you can really snatch back the materials, I will reward you handsomely!"
Qiu Zhen laughed bitterly, now, he only hoped that Tang Yin could return safely.
Just as Tang Yin had said, in less than three days, Zhao Ju had brought his Mo Country over. It was impossible to pull all four thousand war horses into the city, so they were temporarily sent to the Feng Army camp outside of the Heng City, and assigned to the various captains for inspection.
Regarding the war horse's money, Tang Yin was not in arrears. He only asked for three hundred and twenty thousand silvers from the Silver Bank to be given to Zhao Ju.
This was the first time both parties were selling horses, and the cooperation was very happy. After confirming that the horses were correct, Tang Yin ordered another two thousand horses from Zhao Ju.
But this time, Zhao Ju could not deliver the goods in a short period of time, as the four thousand horses were already enough for Zhao Ju to take out all his horses, and gathering another two thousand horses was not an easy task. Fortunately, Tang Yin was not in a rush, and he slowly gathered them after he returned.
When the war horses arrived, Tang Yin was prepared to head towards the outskirts of the city. Xiao Muqing, in charge of ambushing and killing Savage Soldier, had already led a thousand cavalrymen to go first.
That night, the two thousand riders were ready as well. They were waiting for Tang Yin's order to head to Fringe City.
County Magistrate Mansion.
Tang Yin was tidying his clothes and armor in his room when he heard someone knocking on his door.
"Recently!" Tang Yin replied without raising his head.
The door opened, and Fan Min walked in from outside.
Tang Yin was startled, and asked: "Is there something wrong with Miss Fan Min?"
"I heard that Master is going to battle in Savage Country?" Fan Min's face revealed a rare look of worry.
No one knew who told Fan Min about this, but Tang Yin smiled and said: "It's just a small battle!"
Fan Min shook her head and said: "If it's just a small battle, why would Master need to personally go?"
Her words made Tang Yin speechless. He shrugged, picked up his armor, and put it on.
Fan Min walked behind him and helped fasten the ropes on his armor. At the same time, she asked in a low voice: "Is this battle dangerous?"
Not expecting Fan Min to be so concerned about him, Tang Yin's heart warmed. He tilted her head and said, "It's so hard to break a hole in the well, it's inevitable that a great general will perish before the battle. On the battlefield, anything can happen, so there is no need to ask about danger. " Regardless of the size, any battle would be risky. If there really was an expert, even if there was only one person, the life of a general might not be able to be saved.
Fan Min's heart suddenly shrunk as she softly said: "I hope that Master will be able to return victorious in peace!"
Tang Yin turned around and looked at Fan Min. After pausing for a moment, his eyes curved into a smile, and he said: "Thank you for your auspicious words." After he finished speaking, he pulled on the armor on his body and confirmed that there were no problems, and the smile on his face gradually turned into an icy, sinister smile, and he said faintly: "Don't worry about me, what you truly need to worry about is the Savage Soldier that I am attacking!"
After he finished speaking, he looked deeply into Fan Min's eyes again, and casually said: "Let's go!" While speaking, he had already walked out with large strides.
Looking at Tang Yin's leaving figure, Fan Min's emotions fluctuated and it was hard for his to calm down for a long time. Actually, even she himself could not tell whether the reason he hoped for Tang Yin's safe return was because he was concerned about him, or whether he was afraid that it would cause his to lose his dwelling, and the protection of his County Magistrate Mansion.
Accompanied by the two Shangguan brothers, Tang Yin exited the Heng City, together with the two thousand cavalrymen waiting outside the city and a thousand empty horses, they headed towards the Fringe City.
Although the distance from Fringe City to Heng City was not too far, it was definitely not close either. A war horse with Feng Country would have to travel for more than half a day, and when Tang Yin set off at night, he arrived in Fringe City in just three days time.
In the Fringe City, other than General Bai Yong, there were also Xiao Muqing, Cheng Jin, Le Tian, Ai Jia and the rest who had rushed there first.
After meeting, Tang Yin did not even approach the city, and only gathered everyone outside one place.
He silently calculated the time. If he were to head out from Fringe City now, it would be around seven or eight in the morning when he arrived at Beast King Town, so it would be time for breakfast.
He looked around at Cheng Jin, Xiao Muqing, Le Tian and Ai Jia and said: "We cannot stay in Fringe City any longer, we need to leave immediately!"
Everyone nodded in unison and replied, "Sire, please do so!"
As expected, Tang Yin sent a message: "General Le will bring Xiao Shen Jun Army to the ambush place, while General Ai will take me to the Beast King Town. General Cheng will go with me, do you guys have anything you don't understand?"
"Not all of them understand! "My Lord!"
"Alright, let's go now!" Tang Yin raised his head to everyone and jumped onto his horse.
Seeing that, the rest of them did not delay any further, they all mounted their horses and followed Tang Yin, directly passing through the outskirts of the city, and galloped straight into the Bessa City territory.
Feng Army had never dared to take the initiative to invade the territory of the Savage Country, and this idea was deeply rooted in the minds of the people of the Feng Clan, especially the barbarians. The Savage Soldier of the two nations border regions did not even have their sentry posts installed, which also allowed Tang Yin's group to move forward unhindered.
After entering the Bessa City territory, it really seemed as if he had been submerged within a boundless sea of grass. Rushing ten miles forward was a prairie, and after running twenty kilometers, thirty kilometers was still a prairie. There were no towns, no villages, and no homes;
Without the guidance of Le Tian and Ai Jia, even if he had the map in his hands, it would be difficult for Tang Yin to find the true location of the Beast King Town. No wonder the Feng Army didn't dare to enter the territory of the Savage Country. With such a large expanse of grassland, he wouldn't even need to fight with the enemy before he would get lost.
The speed of the Mo Country War Horses was much faster than other horses, and as for the Bessa Territory, they were mostly grasslands, flat plains with no rugged mountain roads or small roads, which could allow the Mo Country War Horses to exhibit their power. The speed of the war horses' hooves was extremely fast, as if they were running at lightning speed, as the four thousand War Horses galloped at the same time.
He had originally thought that he would only be able to arrive at Beast King Town at seven or eight in the morning, but in reality, it was only just dawn when he arrived. It was only around six o'clock, which was also around noon.
