"In this case, I should go to Chuankou county to see what's going on there." Tang Yin rubbed his chin and muttered.
"Your Majesty, this trip is dangerous. You have to be more careful." Yin LAN reminded.
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded, then smiled gratefully at Yin LAN and said, "I know."
Tang Yin decided to go to Chuankou County in person. Judging from the current situation of the new army, I'm afraid only he can stabilize the situation.
Although this trip was dangerous, he still left his direct army in Yuzhen. After all, Yuzhen is the core of the whole andI. There is no room for any loss here. He only took the accompanying guard camp south to Chuankou county.
The strength of the guard battalion is about 5000, which is enough in Tang Yin's view. To make a long story short, the team led by Tang Yin successfully resisted the Fengjun camp in Chuankou county.
As Liu Zhang was seriously injured, Qi Heng was greeted when he left the camp. After the meeting, Qi Heng stepped forward quickly, stepped in to salute and said, "I will see the king at the end!"
Tang Yin stepped down from the crown of the car, waved his hand casually, and then asked, "how is Liu Zhang's injury?"
"I have no worries about my life, but I can't stay yet. It's estimated that it will take at least two or three months to recover." Bow back horizontally.
Tang Yin spent nearly a month on the road from Yuzhen to Chuankou county. After so long, Liu Zhang can't stay. It can be seen that his injury is serious. Tang Yin frowned and said suspiciously, "why is the arrow injury so serious?"
Qi Heng hurriedly said: "the king doesn't know. The assassin came prepared. The crossbows and arrows are coated with highly toxic. When the medical officer heals General Liu, although he can detoxify, he still has to dig out the poisonous meat near the arrow injury and drain the poisonous blood. It's not easy for General Liu to save his life."
"What a cruel means... I think it's called 'beheading action'!" Tang Yin said to himself.
"Ah?" Qi Heng didn't understand and looked at him puzzled. Tang Yin was too lazy to explain. As he walked inside the camp, he asked, "can an Jun still come to steal the camp during this time?"
Qi Heng, with a straight face, said, "the end general has ordered the whole army to take strict precautions and has not given the enemy any more opportunities."
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded and asked, "what's the situation of grain and grass in the army?"
"In the past, the new army lost a lot of food and grass. However, the plain army fighting in Zhuyang County delivered a batch of food and grass in time, which can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need. Now the supplies from the rear have been delivered, and the food and grass of our army and the new army are enough." Qi Heng replied.
"Ha ha!" Tang Yin looked at Qi Heng, smiled and said, "it seems that you owe Xiao MuQing another favor."
"Yes, when the war is over, General Xiao will be thanked again at the end." Qi Heng said solemnly.
While talking, Tang Yin and others had entered the wind camp. Instead of going to the central military tent, he first went to Liu Zhang's sleeping tent to visit Liu Zhang who was seriously injured.
Seeing that the king came to visit him in person, Liu Zhang on the bed struggled to collapse and salute. Tang Yin quickly stepped forward, held him down, shook his head and said, "if you are hurt, don't talk about those red tape. Lie down!"
"King -" Liu Zhang's eyes were red and his tears almost fell. He felt ashamed and wronged. The battle was so infuriating that he only fought against the enemy once. As a result, he was stabbed seriously, almost lost his life, and dragged down the soldiers of the whole army.
Tang Yin understood his current feeling, smiled calmly, patted Liu Zhang on the shoulder and said, "you can gain wisdom from a cut. Now you should understand that even if the enemy is as weak as an ant, it can bite you back at a critical moment. The two armies are engaged in war. Before the battle is over, the victory or defeat is still uncertain, so you can't be careless!"
Liu Zhang nodded as he listened. After this bloody lesson, he could better understand Tang Yin's words. Of course, Tang Yin's words are also warning himself that no matter when and what kind of enemy he faces, don't despise your opponent.
After that, Tang Yin comforted him again. Then he left the dormitory account and entered the middle army account.
After Tang Yin was seated, he immediately said, "tomorrow, our army will attack the city."
He did not ask the generals present, but in a positive tone. The generals of Qi Heng are all stunned. The king has just arrived. He is eager to attack the city without knowing the specific situation. Can he do it?
Bai'an bowed and asked, "what's your plan?"
Tang Yin smiled and said, "didn't Liu Zhang deploy before? Just fight according to his tactics!"
The people looked at each other. Finally, Bai'an asked carefully, "do you think it's feasible?"
Tang Yin said with a smile: "Liu Zhang's assassination was just an accident, which does not mean that the tactics he formulated at the beginning are not good. In addition, we should not be frightened by the garrison at Tingkou. In a small place, there is no strength to compete with our army. Our army will win tomorrow's war!"
Hearing what he said, all the generals present cheered up. People took a deep breath and stepped in with one voice and said, "I will obey you! In tomorrow's war, we will do our best to wipe out the enemy!"
"Good!" What Tang Yin wants is their words. If you want to improve the morale of the whole army, you must first improve the morale of the generals.
"Well, there's nothing else. You can go back now."
"I will leave at the end!" When they were about to withdraw from the Chinese Army account, Tang Yin suddenly remembered something and said, "by the way, everyone has been working very hard and has been on alert. Let the brothers have a good rest tonight and have a good sleep. We can cheer up when we fight tomorrow!"
"Yes! King!" All the generals should be in unison.
When the people came out of the tent of the Chinese army, Ren Xiao frowned and said anxiously, "Your Highness, I think it's tonight. We should strengthen our vigilance!"
"Oh?" Tang Yin smiled and asked, "why do you say that?"
Ren Xiaoxiao said: "the security forces obviously know that they do not have any advantage in frontal combat. They also use the tactics of catching thieves and catching the king first, and use the means of assassinating the commander and raiding supplies to * our withdrawal. The security forces will also know the news of your Highness's arrival in Chuankou county. Tonight, the security forces are likely to repeat their old tricks."
Yin Lan was shocked when she heard the speech and immediately said, "childe Ren means... Will the assassin sneak into our military camp tonight to assassinate the king?"
Ren smiled, nodded and said, "although I'm not sure, it's very possible."
Tang Yin laughed back and said, "it seems that brother Ren has learned a lot during his time with the army!"
After a pause, he slowly restrained his smile and said with a cold hum: "I told my brothers not to strengthen their defense tonight. What they want is to attract the enemy's assassins. I want to teach an army a lesson and let them understand what is called meat buns. There is no return for beating dogs!"
Ren Xiao was stunned at first, then he was happy and relaxed: "Your Highness has already thought of this."
Tang Yin narrowed her eyes, shrugged her shoulders and said nothing more.
Both of them thought that once the military camp was unprepared, an Jun would take risks again and send assassins to assassinate. But this time, they both guessed wrong. This night, it was calm, the assassin did not appear, and Tang Yin and Ren Xiao were somewhat surprised.
But Tang Yin didn't take it to heart. After all, his goal is not an assassin, but the garrison in Tingkou city.
In the early morning of the next day, the new army set out and adopted the tactics previously arranged by Liu Zhang. The first and second Corps mainly attacked the North City, the third and fourth Corps mainly attacked the South City, the fifth and sixth Corps mainly attacked the West City, and the ninth and tenth Corps took the initiative to attack the east city.
Tang Yin's arrival boosted the morale of the officers and men of the new army. In addition, the main force was dispatched, and the momentum was even stronger. At the beginning of the battle, the new army made every effort. The riprap machine and broken city crossbow were launched together. The roar of the four walls of the small Tingkou city was continuous, and the ground trembled with the continuous attack of stone bullets.
When the long-range attack of the riprap machine and the broken city crossbow was almost finished, the eight regiments began to advance together and press towards the Tingkou city.
Perhaps the Fengjun's attack was too fierce, and it was besieged on all sides. The counterattack in Tingkou city was very weak, and there was almost no imagined resistance. The Fengjun attacked the city smoothly and rushed into the city at one go.
As the main force of the wind force entered the city, people were greatly disappointed. It was reported that there were more than 5000 defenders in the city, but they would not be liquidated until the end of the battle. The number of dead and captured soldiers added up to less than 1000, and most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled.
When inspecting the prisoners of an army, Tang Yin's face became more and more ugly. Is it such a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people with less than a thousand people who blocked their 200000 troops outside Tingkou city for a month? It's a joke.
Qi Heng and other generals didn't look good either. They hurried forward and arched their hands to explain: "king, there were at least 5000 defenders in the city when we attacked the city, and there were many Lingwu experts among them. They were by no means these old, weak and disabled soldiers."
Tang Yin raised her eyebrows and asked, "where's the man? Where are the five thousand an army and Lingwu experts you said?"
"This..." Qi hengzhu said, and they also felt incredible. Yes, where are the defenders in the city? Obviously, he is the elite of more than 5000 people. How can he suddenly become a disabled soldier with less than 1000 people?
Qi stamped his feet horizontally, suddenly roared, rushed to an army veteran in a rage, grabbed him with one hand, pulled him out of the crowd like a chicken, and shouted, "where is the garrison in Tingkou city now? Say!"
The old soldier trembled with fear, his legs trembled and stammered, "all... Have been withdrawn. They have been evacuated from the kiosk a few days ago..."
"Nonsense!" Qi Heng drunk: "the pavilion's mouth is surrounded by our army's eyeliner. If the garrison in the city is withdrawn, how can our troops know it?"
"The villain didn't lie. Everything the villain said was true. They withdrew in batches disguised as people fleeing famine..." the veteran trembled.
"Ah?" Qi Heng calculated thousands of calculations. Even if he missed this point, he didn't expect that the garrison with such tenacious fighting spirit would quietly withdraw from the kiosk, and he didn't expect that the garrison would be divided into parts and disguise as a fleeing people.
