"Good, good, good!" After listening to Le Tian's explanation, Tang Yin praised three times. He patted Le Tian's shoulders and said, "We'll take this route!" After pausing for a moment, he asked again, "How long until Savage Soldier reaches the border?"
"Based on the speed of Savage Soldier, it will take no more than five days!" Le Tian said seriously.
"So fast!" Tang Yin inhaled, his eyes turned as he asked: "If we head out now, following the route that you suggested, how many days would it take for us to reach the Bessa City?"
Le Tian calculated for a while and said in a low voice, "I also have to... "Five to six days!"
"That long?" Tang Yin took out the Basa Map, looked at the location of Bessa City, and said: "Looking at the distance, we'll wait for them to arrive after riding on their horses for three days!"
Le Tian bitterly laughed, then said: "Master, if we did not hide our Savage Soldier, we could have charged straight through it in three days, but our journey this time would have been a detour, and our journey would have been arduous, so we would definitely have affected our speed. Being able to reach the Bessa City in five to six days can be considered fast."
Savage Soldier would arrive in five days, but it would take them at least five to six days to reach Bessa City. At that time, even if they succeeded in their sneak attack, it would still take a few days to receive the news from Savage Soldier.
In the past two days, Tang Yin did not pay attention to the defenses of the Heng City, as for the specific situation, he was not very clear either. He immediately called for Qiu Zhen, asking him about the current situation of the city's defense.
Qiu Zhen smiled and said: "Currently, Xiao Shen Jun is using the entire city's manpower and manpower to build the Inner Wall."
"Inner Wall?"
"Yes!" Xiao Shen Jun said that one city wall isn't safe, so we need to add an additional inner wall. This can help us increase our defense line, delay and wear down our Savage Soldier! " Defending the city was not Qiu Zhen's strong point, and he had nothing more to say about Xiao Muqing's defensive strategy.
Tang Yin nodded, one more Inner Wall was enough to strengthen the city's defenses, but the army of Savage Country was almost here, he did not know if Xiao Muqing could finish constructing the Inner Wall in such a short period of time. There was no need to care so much now, there was no doubt that they would not need to use people, since Xiao Muqing had become more important to them, Tang Yin could leave all of his Heng City to him.
He then asked Qiu Zhen: "Have you sent people to the county to ask for reinforcements?"
Qiu Zhen hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Yes!" He had indeed sent someone, but they had actually sent a Captain who was highly looked up to, and was not welcomed by many. He could imagine that when County Head Yu He saw this Captain, he would definitely give him a bad look, and he would definitely not be able to send reinforcements, and that was exactly what he wanted.
Rather than letting Yu He send a mob, who would cause trouble for their own side, it would be better if he did not send a single soldier. This way, once their side managed to defend against this wave of Savage Country, they could naturally make a move on Yu He and impeach him, and as for the empty spot in the County Head, Tang Yin would have the chance to fight for it.
It was just that these words could not be spoken explicitly. He had to give Pingyuan Army a chance, so that when Pingyuan Army defended against the Savage Army, they could look forward to the arrival of reinforcements from the county. This would give them the motivation to continue fighting.
It could be said that the energy that Tang Yin and the other Generals s had was mainly used on the external world, and only Qiu Zhen was using his own scheming on the inside. However, without an ambitious and cunning person like Qiu Zhen, Tang Yin wouldn't be able to accomplish anything in the future.
Tang Yin was preparing to launch a sneak attack on Bessa City, but before he had left, an earth-shattering piece of news had arrived. This news had also confirmed Qiu Zhen's initial guess, and made it so that they could not wait for Imperial Court's reinforcements.
It turned out that Ning Country had suddenly unilaterally broken the promise he had made with the Princess Yin Rou, and had raised his weapons to attack the gateway to Feng Country — — Tong Gate.
This time, Ning Country had sent two Chief General s, namely Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi. These two brothers led four hundred thousand troops and took over Tong Gate in one go. The newly appointed general of Tong Gate, Yao Zhili, was captured alive by the Ning Army.
After occupying the Tong Gate, the four hundred thousand Ning Army charged straight in, straight to the Feng Country city's Yan City s. Yan City s were in a rush, Imperial Court s called for Feng Army s from all over the place, heading towards the Yan City s, protecting the capital city, and under completely unprepared conditions, the Feng Country's situation was already in a precarious situation. Imperial Court s could even protect themselves, so how could they send troops to reinforce the Pingyuan County s?
This news, forget about causing a huge uproar in the Heng City, even the entire Feng Country was in a mess. If the Tong Gate lost, it was equivalent to losing the gate to the Feng Country.
If not for the sudden invasion of Savage Soldier, Tang Yin would have led his Pingyuan Army to the capital to rescue them.
When Fan Min found out that Tang Yin was going to explore the Savage Country and even went to the capital, Fan Min couldn't rest easy and came to look for him.
At this time, Tang Yin was packing up. Every time they set off for the expedition, Tang Yin would not bring along any extra scraps, but it was different this time. The journey was long and it was already deep into the winter.
Seeing Tang Yin, Fan Min did not speak immediately, but stood quietly at the side, helping him to organize his things.
They were afraid that it would cause panic in the city, and the news of Savage Soldier's invasion was still being sealed, so the citizens were not aware of it, including Fan Min.
Putting Tang Yin's clothes on a board, Fan Min spoke faintly: "Why did you suddenly attack the capital of the Savage Country for nothing?"
The corner of Tang Yin's mouth moved, he wanted to say something, but stopped himself. He changed the topic and laughed: "Of course I have a reason to go. "Don't worry, it's no different from usual this time."
Fan Min did not understand military affairs, nor did she understand the situation of Savage Country, but she knew how important a capital was to a country.
She said faintly, "This time, we will definitely encounter a lot of enemies, right?"
"Maybe a lot. Maybe not, God knows." Tang Yin replied casually, he straightened his body and looked at Fan Min: "Xiao Min, didn't you say you want to set up a business here? I want you to go to the Shunzhou first to see what kind of business there is to do. "
Tang Yin rarely paid attention to his business, so when he suddenly mentioned it today, it surprised Fan Min. She was so smart, her brain turned, and she immediately realised that Tang Yin must have had other intentions behind his words, combined with the fact that he suddenly went to attack the capital of the nation with the Savage Country, her heart moved, and she asked: "Heng City … Is something going to happen? "
How could Tang Yin not know? Since she felt that something was wrong, she could not hide it even if she wanted to, and slowly nodded his head, he said in a serious tone: "This time, two hundred thousand Savage Country soldiers attacked my Pingyuan County, whether or not we can resist it, no one knows, Heng City is already a dangerous place, the reason why I want to sneak attack it, is also to force it back, to resolve the crisis of Heng City!"
So it was like this! In other words, Tang Yin did not take the initiative to sneak attack the Bessa City, but had instead been forced to a corner, making this trip even more dangerous! Fan Min's heart was raised to her throat, but the expression on her face became even more resolute. She shook her head forcefully and said: "I am not going, I want to stay in Heng City and wait for you to come back."
's stubbornness and persistence moved Tang Yin's heart. With a beauty like his, what else could he ask for? Tang Yin found it hard to suppress his feelings as he wrapped his arms around Fan Min's slender shoulders. He did not say anything sweet nor did he swear an oath to the sea, he only whispered into her ear, "I will be back!"
Fan Min nestled in Tang Yin's embrace. The armor made out of iron was ice-cold, but she could feel that Tang Yin's heart was boiling hot.
"Master, General Le is waiting outside the manor!"
Tang Zhong's voice sounded out from outside the door. This time, he didn't knock on the door.
Hearing that, Tang Yin wanted to push Fan Min away, but found that Fan Min was tightly grabbing onto the protective belt of his armor, and did not have any intentions of letting go.
He laughed and said in a low voice, "If I say that I will come back, I will definitely be able to do it. This is just a temporary parting, not a farewell …"
Before he finished speaking, Fan Min had already raised her hand and covered his mouth.
She did not say anything, but expressionlessly took out a handkerchief from her bosom and carefully wiped off the dirt on Tang Yin's armor. After that, she stuffed the handkerchief into his hands and took a step back.
She was smiling, but her smile was heart-wrenching.
Tang Yin held onto Fan Min's handkerchief, which had the unique musk on it, it was fragrant but not thick, it was quiet and serene, causing one to be captivated by it.
He stuffed the handkerchief inside his breastplate and smiled towards Fan Min. Then, he walked out of the room with large strides, like a meteor, without even turning his head back. He casually waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
Judging from his demeanor and tone, it didn't seem like he was going to fight to the death, but more like he was going to a banquet.
After Tang Yin's figure disappeared outside the door, Fan Min could no longer hold on. The smile on her face disappeared and her tears dropped down like pearls with a broken string.
She remembered what Tang Yin had said before.
Before Tang Yin could exit the residence, footsteps came from behind, only to see Cheng Jin and Lu Fang anxiously running over.
He looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression. When he got near to them, he asked, "Is there something the matter between you two?"
"My lord, I want to go with you!" The two of them spoke at the same time.
Tang Yin shook his head, and said: "My trip is not dangerous, the real danger is Heng City, the two of you need to stay, and lead our brothers to assist the defending troops, to defend Savage Soldier!"
Lu Fang said in a serious tone: "Master, I am not using Pingyuan Army, I am defending the city and it is not my business, I just want to follow you!"
Tang Yin was extremely grateful to Lu Fang for his courteous treatment. If Tang Yin was no longer around, then there would be no need for him to stay any longer.
"Ha ha!" Tang Yin laughed softly, cupped his hands, and said: "I am grateful for Brother Lu's kindness and righteousness, but Heng City is my foundation, so what I am worried about the most is Heng City. I hope that Brother Lu can do your best to help me resolve my worries."
