1636: C1636

C1636

Thousands of soldiers had slipped away right under his noses while he himself did not notice at all. Waiting outside the city with his two hundred thousand men in his army, this was a great shame and humiliation.

Qi Heng was so angry that he was trembling, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and the Steel Armor on the old soldier's chest was almost deformed by his pinch.

"How can I let you off when you are so embarrassed!" While speaking, Qi Heng pulled out his sword, aimed it at the old soldier's neck, and prepared to stab down.

Tang Yin snorted by the side, and shouted: "Stop!"

"Great king, the bandits have bullied me too much. This is intolerable ?" Qi Heng's facial features were contorted, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"What's the use of killing him now?" Tang Yin walked forward, patted the hands of Qi Heng who was holding onto the veteran's breastplate and then asked in an amiable tone, "This brother, can you tell me where the city guards have gone to? And why did you stay? "

The veteran was so scared that he was sweating profusely. Hearing Tang Yin call him brother, his body went soft, and he immediately kneeled down, kowtowing continuously. He said repeatedly: "I pay my respects to Feng King, I pay my respects to Feng King ?"

Tang Yin laughed, then pulled the old veteran up and said: "Big Bro, do not be afraid, you just need to answer a few questions from this king, I will protect your life and not worry."

"Yes, yes, yes!" He did not expect the legendary ferocious and cunning Feng King to be so approachable. Other than being surprised, the veteran also felt lucky. He said in a trembling voice, "Reporting to Your Highness, they ? They should have all gone to the Provincial Capital s. The reason they asked us to stay was because we are all local citizens of the Tingkou City, and we are old, weak, and handicapped, unable to fight. They say that if Feng Country were to swallow the Ann Country, they would pretend to be kind and benevolent. As long as we surrender of our own accord, we will not kill wantonly ? "

Hearing that, Qi Heng and the rest all frowned, Tang Yin also squinted his eyes. He remained calm and asked with a smile, "The Mr. Yu that elder brother spoke of is ?"

"Mr. Yu was a ranger who came from Sichuan. The Mayor followed his lead. The first city defense battle was organized by Mr. Yu."

Qi Heng couldn't help but interject, "Did he also cause all these raids on our army's logistics supplies, and then secretly set up camps to assassinate General Liu?"

The veteran was extremely afraid of Qi Heng. Hearing his question, his body that had not stood up before softened again. He knelt on the ground and nodded repeatedly, "Yes ?" Yes, that ? "It was all Mr Yu's idea ?"

"Damn it! What's his name? I will definitely kill this thief! " Qi Heng gritted his teeth in anger.

"I don't even know Mr Yu's name, I only know that he's a travelling adventurer from Chuan Country." The old soldier said softly as he wiped the sweat off his face.

Tang Yin patted the old veteran's shoulder, signalling to him not to be afraid. He asked: "I heard that there are many Rangers amongst the defending troops in Tingkou City?"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"How many people are there?"

"I'm not sure about the exact number of people, but I feel like there's at least two or three hundred people."

There were so many Rangers! Tang Yin took a deep breath. It seemed that he had really underestimated the information the Shadow Retreat gave him. He asked casually as he thought, "Where are they from?"

"There's people everywhere, and from the sound of their accents, one can tell that they have Ann Country s, as well as Ning Country s, Mo Country s, Huan Country s, and Chuan Country s ?"

"They're all in Provincial Capital now?"

"This... This little one has only heard of it, as to whether or not this little one is still in the Provincial Capital, I am also not sure. "

Feeling that the old soldier's words were sincere, Tang Yin nodded his head and stopped pursuing the matter. He pointed to the Ann Soldier s that were captured, and said to Qi Heng: "Collect their armor and weapons, and then, release them!"

He did not know who the veteran was referring to, but this man had good eyes. In An Di, he wanted to make sure that people who coveted peace and quiet would not fight back, even if they did not use any high-handed methods. In fact, it was easier for people like Shi Ren Zheng to have peace and quiet in their hearts, allowing them to willingly submit to Feng Country.

"Great king, isn't it a bit inappropriate to let them all go now ?" What if they gathered together again and became enemies with each other? Qi Heng was worried.

Tang Yin didn't think much of it and said: "It's just some old and weak soldiers, there's no need to worry. Just do as I say!"

"Yes!" "Great King!" Qi Heng replied with his hands clasped together.

The battle this time around was completely different from the one before. The Feng Army s did not require much effort to blow any dust off their bodies, but what they obtained was almost an empty city. The elites of the defending troops and the rangers who had infiltrated the city had all run away, and even the Silver Bank s and granary were all empty.

Although they had achieved a complete victory, no one on the Feng Army could be happy about it. Rather than calling it their own side's Tingkou, it would be more accurate to say that it was the enemy who took the initiative to move out of the way.

The General of Feng Army s who had felt the ridicule from the Ann Army all submitted to Tang Yin, requesting that they immediately go south to obtain the Chuankou County s.1

However, Tang Yin had more questions than the warriors below him. To him, Ann Army was about to first guard and then give up, it was not that simple.

After the Feng Army took over the Tingkou, Tang Yin also moved into the Mayor Palace inside the city. Deep into the night, there was no sound whatsoever. Tang Yin's study room was still lit. Ren Xiao who was unable to sleep or sleep or relax walked over. He was startled for a moment, and then walked over.

Seeing Ah San and guarding the door, he walked up and asked softly: "Is His Highness still awake?"

"Ah, it's the Young Master Ren!" Ah San cupped his hands and bowed, then said: "The King is still handling military matters."

"I'll go in and take a look." Ren Xiao said as he walked into the room. Tang Yin and Ren Xiao's relationship was close, and he had also told Ah San before, if Ren Xiao came to find him, there was no need to inform him, he could just let him pass.

Ren Xiao entered the study room and looked up. Tang Yin was sitting behind a table, fully focused on looking at the map, and Yin Lan, who was guarding the table, was already exhausted, sitting by the side. He had his head on a corner of the table, and was dozing off.

"It's already so late, why hasn't His Highness rested yet ?" Ren Xiao asked.

Before he finished speaking, Tang Yin had already made a noise, and then he pouted to Yin Lan. Sometimes he would look at Tang Yin's rough and unrestrained attitude, and sometimes, he would be very attentive and considerate towards the people around him. This was one of the things that made him admire Tang Yin.

He lightly walked to the side of the table, lowered his head and looked at the map laid out on it, and muttered: "It's a map of the Chuankou County."

Tang Yin nodded his head, indicating that he was right. Ren Xiao was puzzled: "Your Highness, what is there to look at?"

"I keep feeling that something is wrong." Tang Yin's gaze landed on the map, and lightly tapped his forehead as he spoke softly.

"Something wrong?"

"That's right!" Tang Yin said: "If Ann Army did not wish to defend, then, they should have given up at the beginning, but they chose to set up an elite unit under the Tingkou, if they wanted to defend Tingkou to the death, then why did they quietly retreat afterwards?"

Hearing his words, Ren Xiao also felt that this matter was strange. After he pondered for a moment, he muttered: "Could it be ? You received news that your highness was going to the Chuankou County, so you knew that you were no match for him and that's why you were forced to withdraw from the Tingkou? "

"Of course it's possible, but I think that Ann Army is deliberately stalling for time."

While talking, he looked at the map and continued: "There are so many mountains and so many forests within the Chuankou County, there are so many suitable places to ambush. Does Ann Army use Tingkou to slow down our forces and buy time for the ambush behind us?"

Ren Xiao listened seriously, and at the same time, nodded his head repeatedly. After Tang Yin had finished speaking, he said seriously: "Your Highness's considerations are very reasonable, I think the possibility of that is very high."

Tang Yin's finger moved back and forth on the map, and said: "From Tingkou to Yujing, one needs to pass through the Chigou, this large mountain range, even just by looking at the map, is not easy to travel through. If I were the general of Ann Army, I have to set up an ambush here, and catch the enemy unprepared!"

Ren Xiao fixed his gaze on the spot where Tang Yin was pointing at, and slowly nodded his head, saying: "Reportedly, the Chuankou County is not more than fifty thousand, only this small amount of strength, according to common sense, we would not dare to take the initiative to attack.

Tang Yin pointed his finger and laughed: "Brother Ren is truly more and more like a commander now. How about this, are you interested in becoming a Regiment Chief in Feng Country and give it a try?"

Ren Xiao could not help but laugh, he waved his hand and said: "Your Highness, please spare me.

"You can slowly learn, no one is born to lead soldiers into war." Tang Yin said casually, but did not force him. He lightly tapped on the table with his finger and returned back to the main topic at hand, then said: "I have to be more careful around Chigou, I have to move all the brothers from Sky Eye and Earth Web over there."

In terms of military tactics, Ren Xiao was not able to interject. In this aspect, he was far inferior to Tang Yin.

When Yin Lan, who was originally dozing off, heard the names Sky Eye and Earth Web, her body immediately quivered. She immediately woke up and opened her hazy eyes, as she looked at Tang Yin in a daze.

Tang Yin and Ren Xiao looked at each other and laughed. The latter took out a handkerchief and handed it over to Yin Lan, and said: "Miss, although there are no outsiders now, it is still an unsightly sight to see drool on your face."

Yin Lan subconsciously touched the corner of her mouth and her jade face immediately flushed red. How could she have the nerve to take Ren Xiao's handkerchief? She hurriedly wiped her mouth with her sleeve, then looked at Tang Yin with a flushed face and lowered her head.

Tang Yin explained with a smile: "I was worried that the Ann Army would set up an ambush around the Chigou, so I planned to send my Sky Eye and Earth Web over to investigate first."

"The Umbra can also go." Yin Lan immediately raised her head and looked at Tang Yin.

"The Umbra has its own tasks to do. If the Umbra wants to finish everyone's work, it won't be for long." Tang Yin said with a deeper meaning.
