Hearing the shouts, Tang Yin and the surrounding generals were all stunned. They all turned their heads back to look, and Shangguan Yuanbiao, who originally wanted to urge his horses to leave, subconsciously reined his warhorse as well.

Before the horse completely stopped, he jumped down from his horse's back and ran forward two steps. He knelt on one knee and panted as he said, "Master, something bad happened! The enemy ambushed the rear of our troop!"

"What?" Hearing that, Tang Yin immediately frowned, ambushing the enemy? Where did this enemy come from? They did not develop any enemy troops along the way! In addition, with so many people on their side, a mere few thousand enemies wouldn't be able to harm them at all. He asked, "Where was the attack? "How many enemy troops are there?"

The scout said, "Yes..." It was the rear that was escorting the team that was carrying the grain and grass that was attacked by the enemy. The enemy numbers had yet to be determined, and when Master Qiu led his team back to rescue them, the enemy had already escaped. More than half of our army's grain was burnt! "

"Huh?" Tang Yin took a deep breath. It was not just their own army that was attacked, but the rest of their troops were attacked as well, but it was more serious than their own army that was ambushed. Tang Yin sat on the horse with his fists clenched tight. Such a cunning enemy, he actually sneaked behind himself.

Just as Qiu Zhen had said, he had indeed deliberately killed the envoys that his side had sent. When his side was making a big move, Tang Yin had used his familiarity of the terrain to secretly hide behind his side, sneakily attacking and replenishing his side's troops to force them to retreat. Tang Yin had truly been planning for a long time.

Tang Yin was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth, and pointed in front of Linqiao City, shouting: "Don't worry about the rear, don't worry about the food, attack with your entire army, and want to take down Linqiao City in one go!"

"Yes!" "My Lord!" The surrounding generals all intervened to receive their orders.

This time, Shangguan Yuanbiao was not the only one who went up on stage, even Tang Yin and his soldiers all went up together. The light Cavalry s of 10,000 people sprinted forward like a sharp sword, piercing straight into the city. Tang Yin had made up his mind. For Mao An to be able to sneak attack their logistics base, he would also be able to take care of his own lair. In such a big county, he would definitely store a large amount of grain inside, which would be enough for them to use as supplies.

The Peng Army inside had long since followed Mao An out of the city. When Tang Yin and the group of people rushed to the city gate, the city gate was completely empty, without even a guard standing guard. Tang Yin looked at it and laughed, then waved his hand and bellowed: Go up the wall! "Go inside and open the gate!"

Following his order, a group of Feng Soldier s quickly dismounted from their horses and walked to the foot of the city wall with their flying claws. After the flying claws were in place, the soldiers quickly climbed up the city wall with their ropes, but there was no one on the city wall at all.

The soldiers didn't care much as they followed the walls into the city. Together, they moved the gate's latch, opened the gate, and allowed the large group of people to enter the city.

Due to Mao An's craftiness, Tang Yin was even more careful this time, he did not dare to enter carelessly. He first sent his Hidden Arrow Crew to investigate the city, and after confirming that there were no hidden troops, he gave the order for the entire army to enter.

The county was obviously not an empty city, but it was true that the citizens of the city were hiding in their homes and did not dare to come out.

After Tang Yin entered the city, he looked around and saw that all the houses and shops on both sides of the street were closed. He took a deep breath, turned around and looked at Cheng Jin who was behind him, and said: "Bring some of the citizens here!"

"Yes sir!"

Cheng Jin agreed and dismounted. He walked along the street and stopped in front of a house with a rather large facade. He then reached out and knocked on the door.

Dong, dong, dong!

After knocking for a long time, and seeing that no one came out to open the door, Cheng Jin frowned, took a step back, and kicked with his leg. With a dull bang, the big wooden door of the house opened with a loud bang, and the wooden door inside was struck into two pieces.

Cheng Jin looked up, and saw that there was actually a group of people standing in the courtyard of the mansion, there were males and females, old and young. It was clear that they were all from a large family, all of their faces were pale white, and looking at Cheng Jin who was dressed in his spirit armor and his other Hidden Arrow Crew, he was so scared that he did not even dare to breathe.

"Why are you still pretending to be deaf when you're all in the yard?" Cheng Jin strode into the courtyard and shook his head at the family, and said: "Come out with me!"

"Generals, please spare us, please spare us!" The family members who followed Cheng Jin into the courtyard trembled, and with a whoosh, they all kneeled on the ground, begging for forgiveness.

What were they doing? I didn't want to kill them! Cheng Jin's frown deepened, and he shouted with a deep voice: "Everyone stand up, follow me out!"

The family did not know his intentions and only thought that he was going to kill. No one dared to stand up and continuously kowtow and beg for forgiveness. Cheng Jin did not have the patience to waste time with them, he turned around and said to the Hidden Arrow Crew with a shake of his head: "Pull them all out!"

"Yes." Hidden Arrow Crew replied as they all walked forward, ignoring the cries of men, women, old and young, and forcefully dragged one by one out of the courtyard.

Very quickly, they were brought by Hidden Arrow Crew to Tang Yin's horse.

Tang Yin looked down at the people, and when he saw that the family was so scared that they had shrunk into a ball, he was puzzled in his heart, he himself was not a demon, why were the citizens of Linqiao so afraid of the Generals And Soldiers of Self Army? What he did not know was that Mao An had long ago described Tianyuan Army as a flood beast, calling it Mighty Army.

Under Mao An's repeated promotions, the citizens of Linqiao gradually began to feel fear and panic.

Tang Yin's gaze landed on an old man in the crowd. He asked with a smile: "Old sir, you don't have to be afraid, I won't hurt you and your family. I just want to know where the county's capital is, and also where the county's treasury is."

The old man summoned up his courage and looked up at Tang Yin, then quickly lowered his head and shakily said: "S … "This old man doesn't know …"

The people from the county city actually didn't know where the county capital and treasury were. How could they not laugh?

Without waiting for Tang Yin to speak, Cheng Jin glared at him, extended his hand and grabbed the old man's neck by the collar, and said furiously: "Their Tianyuan Army came to eliminate the traitor Zhong Tian, but they are defending the traitor Zhong Tian at all costs. Are you people from the Feng Clan or not? "

The elder's legs were about to leave the ground after being lifted up by him, so how could anyone hear what he was saying? His aged face was flushed red, and it seemed as though he would pass out at any moment. Upon seeing this, the surrounding family members all kneeled down as they cried and begged for mercy. For a moment, the entire room was in chaos.

Then, his gaze landed on a little girl who was around ten years old. He bent down, grabbed the little girl by the armpits, lifted her up and placed her on the horse so that she could sit in front of him. He laughed and said: "Little miss, tell me where to go to the capital!"

The little girl looked at Tang Yin curiously. Although her parents said that Tianyuan Army could kill people without blinking, but no matter how she looked at it, Tang Yin did not seem like a bad person.

Of course, this was mainly because Tang Yin had a likeable face. Not only was he handsome, he was born with a smile on his face.

The little girl was startled at first when she was carried by him, but she quickly calmed down when he smiled. She stared straight at Tang Yin and said in a low voice, "Mother said that you are bad people …"

Tang Yin laughed and said: "We are not bad people, we are people who beat bad people."

"Really?"

"Of course!"

"Then did you kill him?"

"Only killing bad people!"

"Grandfather, grandmother, father and mother are all good people, and me too!"

Tang Yin was so amused by her words that he laughed, and said: "So I won't kill you, but will instead protect you."

"If that's the case... I'll take you to the county capital! " The little kid was not scheming at all, and was moved by Tang Yin's short speech. However, the sweat of the little girl's family members continued to pour out, regardless of whether Tianyuan Army would kill them or not, if Tianyuan Army were to lead them to the county capital and let Mao An, the head of the family, find out about this, it would be a heavy crime to exterminate the family!

Before they could even stop the little girl, Tang Yin had already urged the warhorses to move, and shouted: "Let's go!"

With the little girl's guidance, Tang Yin and his group quickly arrived at the city's capital's gate. They saw that the mansion's gate was tightly shut, and it was completely silent without a sound. Tang Yin turned his head. Without needing to say anything, the Brother Shangguan and the others beside him had already walked up, slammed open the doors and charged into the mansion.

Everyone carefully looked around the capital city, but they couldn't even find the shadow of a servant or guard, much less the county chief Mao An. Everyone returned and reported to Tang Yin. It meant that there was no one in the manor. Tang Yin was not surprised, since Mao An had already abandoned the city, then his family must have secretly escaped.

He waved to the crowd, indicating for them to return. Then, he looked down at the little girl in his arms and asked, "Little girl, where is the county treasury?"

"It's not far ahead!" The little girl pointed to the left of the county capital.

Tang Yin nodded his head, he raised his hands and rubbed the girl's little head, at the same time he kicked his horse and galloped over.

Very quickly, Tang Yin and the rest arrived at the county treasury once again. Before they even got close, Tang Yin's heart had already cooled down halfway because he saw from afar that the county treasury's iron gate was already opened. When they got close, they could see that, as expected, the treasury was completely empty.

Damn you, Mao An! After he finished reading, Tang Yin's teeth started to itch from his hatred. Now that the food on their side had been destroyed and there was no food in the county, what should he do? Was he really going to be forced to retreat?

But then he thought about it, Tang Yin smiled, since there was no food in the county, then the 100 people's homes must have food, right?! With Linqiao City being so large, with so many citizens within the city, if all of the household's food was gathered, it would be enough for their own large army to use.
