No one understood what he meant by 'easy to deal with'. Ling Shuang was the first to ask, "Royal Brother, you mean to say ?"
Tang Yin said: "We will split up and attack different cities, towns, and villages in Canglin County. Capture all of the citizens of Canglin and lock them up in the vicinity of our military camp!"
Xiao Muqing's eyes suddenly lit up, and while pondering, he muttered: "If we capture the citizens of the entire county, there will definitely be family members of the Huan's garrison, and once they know that our families have fallen into our hands, the garrison will definitely be in complete chaos. At that time, there will even be a large number of garrison troops that will come out of the city to rescue us! "Haha, great king is wise, this plan is great!"
Zi Ying frowned and said: "Great King, Canglin has a total of more than ten town s, more than twenty towns, the village has more than a hundred, with a few million people, even if our entire army goes out, they might not even be able to capture them. Furthermore, our entire army is out, the main camp is empty, what if the enemy leaves the city and steals camp? Furthermore, even if we successfully capture and bring back the common folk of Canglin, how will we settle them? How can we provide food and drinks to these people? "
In response to Zi Ying's string of questions, Tang Yin said without thinking, and with a smile, "The defending troops of the Huan only have fifty thousand people, we are not afraid of them going out of the city to steal camps, we are only afraid of them going into hiding. When they captured the People of Zhen Country, they could just leave them to guard the camp. As for how to take care of the captured people, you can build a camp next to our army camp, which is specially used to lock them up, and the food and drinks provided are even simpler. From our army's grain, if it is not enough, you can ask the Ann Country And Hui Country two armies behind us to take care of it.
Zi Ying thought about it and smiled. Seems like the King made this decision after careful consideration, and not on a whim. This way, he would be at ease.
He nodded and said, "I think your majesty's opinion is very feasible. However, our army can make a move against the villages near the Huan to see how the effect is.
Tang Yin snapped his fingers, and said: "As you see." While speaking, he looked at Ling Shuang and asked: "What do you think, Sister Wang?"
Ling Shuang regained her senses, and did not know what to say for a moment.
Tang Yin's conversation with his subordinate generals was too fast, and his thoughts moved too quickly. From start to finish, all the jade generals present were unable to interject. Right now, Tang Yin suddenly asked for her opinion. Ling Shuang shook his head and laughed bitterly, "Everything will be decided by Royal Brother."
"Alright, then it's settled, Feng Yu's army will split up and move out separately, starting from the villages around the Huan first!" Tang Yin turned his head and waved at Ah San, saying: "Take out the map!"
Very quickly, Ah San delivered the map to him. Tang Yin unfurled the map, took a look, then stood up and walked to the center of the tent and laid it on the ground. He himself sat on the floor.
Upon seeing this, the General of Feng Army s all stood up with great experience, and gathered around one after another. The Yu Army Generals s did not have the time to react, and just stood there without moving.
Tang Yin looked around, frowned and asked: "The brothers from Yu Army are standing so far away, can you see the map clearly?"
The jade generals looked at each other in dismay. How was it proper for the king and his subjects to mingle and become one?
Ling Shuang had fought alongside Feng Army before, so sshe understood the habits of Tang Yin and Feng Army. When fighting in the outside world, Tang Yin did not have the airs of a ruler, and even if he were to call for troops, he would often place himself at the very front of the army.
She took the initiative to walk to Tang Yin's side and sit beside him. At the same time, she waved her hand towards the jade generals, and said gently: "Generals, come here!"
The Jade Generals did not dare disobey Ling Shuang's words, they carefully walked forward and stood together with the General of Feng Country, surrounding Tang Yin and Ling Shuang.
Tang Yin no longer bothered with the others. He lowered his head and looked at the map carefully. After thinking for a while, he drew a circle on the map with his fingernail and said, "Use this as the boundary. The infantry will attack the towns and villages inside the world. The cavalry will attack the towns and villages outside the world." Saying that, he asked Ling Shuang: "Sister Wang, how many cavalrymen are there in Yu Army?"
Cavalry was the most expensive type of soldier, and there weren't many Yu Country. Two legions, two hundred thousand people and no more than twenty thousand cavalrymen. She said, "If I gather all of them together, there's almost twenty thousand that can be used."
Hm!" "Your army has twenty thousand, our army also has twenty thousand. In total, we have forty thousand ?" He muttered while looking at the map. He pointed at the eight villages and towns on the outskirts of the trace and said, "Eight of them. The cavalry of the Wind Jade Army is attacking four of them each. "The four cavalry units will attack, and the four cavalry units will attack.
Ling Shuang calmed her down and listened to her while pondering. After Tang Yin finished speaking, she nodded and agreed.
Following that, Tang Yin divided the villages and towns within the circle marks, and for some towns and cities with larger areas, he arranged for Feng Army s to be distributed to the villages and small towns.
If he did this, one thing, he would have to take care of Yu Army and two, the harder he fought, the more spoils he would get. Tang Yin did not want to miss the chance to plunder. Ling Shuang had no objections to his allocation, he nodded his head repeatedly, and agreed to everything.
Under Tang Yin's suggestion, Allied Army of Feng Country And Yu Country temporarily changed their tactics, gave up on attacking Huan, and instead, started attacking the villages near the Huan. Killing people was secondary, killing people was their primary goal.
At the command of the two Monarchs, the Allied Army of Feng Country And Yu Country moved up and down, each legion scattered to zero, and with the regiment as a unit, they attacked from four sides, launching an all-out attack on the villages around the Huan.
Even if the Chastity Country adopted the universal military system, the number of defenders in each village was not high. The highest number was no more than a thousand people, and the lowest was only a dozen or even a few. Even a garrison of a thousand men could not withstand an attack from a single regiment.
Under the attacks of the Allied Army of Feng Country And Yu Country, the surrounding towns and villages were in chaos. Everywhere the two armies passed by, they had basically turned into a land of death, not only were all the valuable things in the towns swept away, there were not even a single person left. Even the animals such as the animals that cultivated land, the chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, dogs, and other animals were left behind.
The area of the encampment was roughly the same as the camp, the walls were tall and sturdy, and there were even many tents built inside the encampment. This encampment was also specially used to transport the People of Zhen Country s that were sent back.
On the first day after the new camp was built, it was still quiet inside, the wind and waves were calm, and on the second day, it became lively inside. Hundreds and thousands of People of Zhen Country s were forcefully imprisoned in batches of Allied Army of Feng Country And Yu Country, and even those animals and beasts were thrown in. These animals and beasts were not snatched back by Allied Army of Feng Country And Yu Country. Most of them were brought back by the People of Zhen Country s, risking their lives.
In an era when farming was rife, farm animals were worth more than human lives. Even in ancient China, the lives of cattle farmers were comparable to the lives of several people. All cattle farmers had an household registration, and even if they died, they had to be reported to the official authorities. Killing a cow by killing it was a capital offense, and eating beef was also a serious crime (mentioned in the letter). In wuxia novels, the heroes of the martial arts world would order several catties of beef whenever they went to a tavern, which was pure bullshit. If you wanted to eat it, no one would dare to sell it to you.)1
The second day, Tang Yin was bored of staying in the tents. While he was strolling outside, he coincidentally met the Fifth Regiment's head, Liu Quan, ordering troops. He went up to ask and found out that Liu Quan was going to lead the troops to attack Luo Fang Town which was to the north of Huan.
Tang Yin secretly laughed, coming early is better than coming early! He said to Liu Quan, "That's good. This King will go with you."
Liu Quan was shocked. The King was going with him, and if something happened to him, even ten of his heads wouldn't be able to protect him!
His head was shaking like a rattle. Just as he was thinking about how to not make the King angry and reject him, Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and questioned: "What? General Liu, do you think this king will drag you down? "
"No, no, no! This general did not intend to do that! " Liu Quan was so scared that he retreated two steps and hastily bowed.
"Since that's not the case, then there's no need to say anything else. "General Liu, please hurry up!" Tang Yin clasped his hands behind his back and pursed his lips towards him in a calm and composed manner.
Sigh! No wonder his eyelids twitched this morning. Liu Quan sighed in his heart, then he braced himself and continued to count the soldiers.
Since Tang Yin wanted to personally accompany the troops to battle, Ah San naturally followed by his side. In addition, Cheng Jin and Jiang Fan also came along.
As they were on their way to Luo Square Village after leaving the camp, Liu Quan gave Tang Yin a detailed explanation of the town's information.
There were around fifteen thousand people in the town, and most of them were elderly people and women and children. The adult males were either recruited to the Xi Tang or had already joined the garrison in the Huan.
When noon arrived, the Feng Army had already arrived at the town.
In terms of scale, this was a large town. The inside of the town was filled with houses, and the exterior was made of soil and soil, but it was intermittent. Although this thing could be used to defend against bandits, it was useless against regular armies.
Obviously, the garrison troops of the town had also heard the news of the enemy's attack. Over a thousand of their garrison troops had already gathered behind the wall, ready to fight at any moment now.
Liu Quan went forward to watch for a while, then retreated back to Tang Yin's side and asked: "Great King, is our army ready to attack now?"
Tang Yin smiled and said: "General Liu, you are the main general. You just need to decide what to do in order to command your brothers to fight.
"Yes!" "Great King!" Hearing his words, Liu Quan was relieved, he waved his hand and called over a soldier, ordering him to go forward and shout at the Chastity Army, urging them to surrender.
"Yes!" The soldier replied and ran out of the formation, arriving at a place about a hundred steps away from the wall, and shouted loudly: "Chastity Army brothers listen up, we are Feng Country, as long as you are willing to put down your weapons and surrender, our army will not harm your lives, if you resist stubbornly, you guys are courting death ?"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a whooshing sound, and immediately after, a bolt of lightning pierced through the sky, heading straight for the Feng Soldier.
