Volume 10 Chapter 276

Chapter 276: When the Sichuan-Zhen coalition attacked Feng State, Nie Ze was the commander of the 500,000 Zhen Army, and it was the Zhen Army that caused the greatest damage to Feng State.

It was Nie Ze who created the plague and bloodbathed Baguan, and it was Nie Ze who decided to split the troops and march north to Fengdu Yancheng. For Tang Yin, Nie Ze and him had a blood feud.

Gu Anmin and Nie Ze were both generals in Zhen State, and both were nobles from famous families, but their relationship was not harmonious. They were scheming against each other. The most important point was that they chose different future masters.

Gu Anmin supported the crown prince Li Dan, and Nie Ze supported the second prince Li Xiang. To put it bluntly, the conflict between the two was a party dispute.

Hou Qiu, the commander of Longding Fortress, was Nie Ze's confidant, so his relationship with Gu Anmin can be imagined.

Tang Yin, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Hou Qiu will definitely not surrender. Our army can only attack Longding Fortress by force. There is no other way."

Kong Qing nodded, but said with some concern, "When we passed by Longding Fortress, there were only 20,000 troops stationed there. Now it has been more than two months, and the strength of the fortress may have increased."

Tang Yin thought about it, turned to ask Le Tian and Ai Jia beside him, "Have you sent spies to investigate?"

Le and Ai both replied, "They have been sent out, and they are expected to be back at noon."

"Okay!" Tang Yin said to Ling Shuang, "Sister Wang, let's rest here for a while, and make plans after the scouts are sent back."

"Yes! I listen to my brother Wang." Ling Shuang had no extra opinions on marching and fighting, and everything was based on Tang Yin.

Before noon, about an hour later, the spies of Tianyan and Diwang brought back the scouts. Kong Qing's concerns were not wrong. The strength of the Longding Fortress had indeed increased a lot. According to the number of tents in the fortress, the Sky Eye and the Ground Network spies estimated that the number of Zhen troops in the fortress was about 40,000. The commander's flag still had the word "Hou", indicating that his commander had not changed.

After listening to the spies' story, Tang Yin asked, "Have you drawn a rough map of the fortress?"

"I have drawn it." The ground network spies quickly took out a piece of straw paper from their arms and handed it to Tang Yin. The latter took it and unfolded it for a closer look.

Gu Anmin should be very clear about the internal structure of the fortress. Although Tang Yin absorbed him, it was impossible for him to master all his memories. He would make some choices when absorbing. He could only keep a small part that he thought was key and discard most of it. If he absorbed all of it, the huge and complicated information would also blow up his head.

Longding Fortress is located behind Longding Mountain, but the fortress is not built against the mountain. It is still a distance away from Longding Mountain. The surrounding area is flat. Looking at the sketch, it can be judged that the defense of the fortress is very complete. Most of the surrounding places are set up with chevaux de frise, and earth walls and trenches are built. The wall of the fortress is not high, only two meters, but it is double-layered, with a gap of about five meters between them.

Tang Yin took a rough look, then handed the sketch to his generals for circulation, and said: "Generals, please take a look. After reading it, please tell us what tactics our army should use."

The sketch was passed around in the hands of the generals, and finally passed to Lingshuang. She looked down and felt a headache after just two glances. To her, the sketch drawn by the underground network spy was like a ghost painting, a messy mass, and she had no idea what was drawn on it.

She didn't understand, but Tang Yin and the generals understood, and people began to discuss it seriously at this time. Ling Hui frowned and spoke first: "I think the defense of Longding Fortress is very comprehensive. It is difficult to succeed whether it is a sneak attack or a frontal attack."

"That's right!" Kong Qing continued: "The key to the problem is that our army did not carry large siege weapons. The defense of Longding Fortress is not strong, but if there are no siege weapons, it will not be so easy to attack it if the brothers rely on the strong attack alone."

Ling Hui nodded and said: "Your Highness Feng Wang, do you think our army should send people back to the central army first and urgently transfer a batch of siege weapons?"

Before Tang Yin spoke, the spy of Tianyan said first: "According to our observation, Longhu County should have heard that our army has passed Nanyue City and is advancing towards Longhu County. Now all counties and cities in the county are withdrawing troops to reinforce Longding Fortress. It seems that they want to fight a blocking battle with our army here. If they delay for one more day, the strength of Longding Fortress will increase a lot."

Hearing this, all the generals fell silent. Although the siege weapons were transferred, it was beneficial to the siege, but once the fortress had more troops, the advantage of the side was immediately eliminated.

Just as people were thinking hard about how to defeat the enemy, Tang Yin's eyes lit up and asked, "You mean, all parts of Longhu County are increasing their troops to Longding Fortress?"

The Sky Eye and the Ground Net Spy nodded at the same time and said, "Yes, King!"

Tang Yin narrowed his eyes slowly and said slowly, "This is an opportunity!"

Ling Shuang was puzzled and asked, "Brother Wang, what do you mean..."

Kong Qing continued, "Your Highness Feng Wang intends to let our army pretend to be reinforcements to reinforce the fortress and sneak into the fortress?"

Tang Yin looked at him with appreciation, thinking that Kong Qing's reaction was quite fast and his mind was also very sharp.

He nodded and said, "That's right! We have so many Zhen army brothers, we don't need to disguise ourselves, we can go to the fortress directly and with great fanfare. As long as we can sneak in, even if there are only a few thousand of us, with the help of inside and outside forces, we can easily take the Longding Fortress."

Everyone nodded when they heard this, but after thinking about it, they felt that it was not easy.

You can't just sneak into a stronghold if you want to, and the other side will also strictly check the Zhenjun who comes for reinforcements. Once the other side sees a flaw, it will be like a meat bun beating a dog, and there will be no return.

Without waiting for others to speak, Tang Yin turned to Letian and Ai Jia and said: "Send your subordinates and carefully check where reinforcements have been sent and where reinforcements have not been sent. Go immediately!"

Just as Lotte was about to respond, Ai Jia stood up and said, "No need to check. General Mo has the details of reinforcements from various places here." As she spoke, she took out a list and handed it to Tang Yin.

Tang Yin was surprised and happy. He looked at Ai Jia in surprise and asked with a smile: "Ai Jia, where did you get this? I didn't ask you to check these!"

Ai Jia looked at Lotte and said: "The general believes that the collection of intelligence should be as detailed and extensive as possible. This is what the general has always asked his subordinates to do. Although many of them may not be useful, there is always no harm in collecting more. of."

Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, then he looked up and laughed, and said to Letian: "What Ai Jia said makes sense! Letian, you should learn more from Ai Jia."

The relationship between Tianyan and Diwang has always been in a state of semi-cooperation and semi-competition. They are both intelligence agencies and in the same camp. Cooperation is inevitable, but competition is also fierce. The soldiers on both sides are friendly on the surface, but they are also in the same camp in their hearts. They were all holding their breath. Lotte may not be like this, but Ai Jia definitely has this mentality.

The list listed by Diwang is very detailed. The entire Longhu County has records of how many troops were sent to each county and city. It may not be accurate, but it is roughly the same.

Tang Yin looked at it for a while, then asked someone to get a map of Longhu County, and then drew on the map the list.

Soon, he discovered that Xinyu County in Longhu County did not send reinforcements, and asked Ai Jia: "Of the three counties in Longhu County, two counties and seven cities sent troops to reinforce Longding Fortress, why did Xinyu County's three cities not send out any troops? "

"Your Majesty, it's like this," Ai Jia stepped forward and explained while pointing to the map: "Xinyu County is close to Xitang. Most of the local troops in the county have been recruited to the Central Army, and the remaining troops have also been gathered in Xitang. Among the cities in the county, if Longhu County is the last barrier to Xitang, then Xinyu County is the last line of defense. No one dares to dispatch Xinyu County’s troops. "

"That's it!" Tang Yin nodded while listening. His eyes fell back on the map for a while, and then asked: "Which county is under the jurisdiction of Qiqin Town at the junction of Xinyu County and Longkou County?"

"This..." Ai Jia really couldn't answer this question for a while.

Kong Qing continued: "This place belongs to Longkou County. When Qiqin Town was hit by a disaster in the past, all the food relief was allocated by Longkou County."

"Well! Looking at the list, Qiqin County has not sent troops to reinforce Longding Fortress." Tang Yin rubbed his chin and murmured.

After pondering for a moment, he said to Kong Qing: "General Kong, please immediately select a thousand elite subordinates and follow me to Longding Fortress. By the way, help me find a uniform that fits me."

ah? Hearing this, the expressions of everyone present changed, and even Ling Shuang trembled. She knows that Tang Yin has always been adventurous, but because of his high spiritual strength, it doesn't matter. But it's different now. He has released his shadow clone, and there is no spiritual energy in his body. To put it bluntly, he is no different from ordinary people now, and he still has to go at this time. Doesn't taking risks mean looking for death?

Others advised Tang Yin to be polite even if he was anxious, but Lingshuang was different and asked bluntly: "Brother Wang, do you think he will live longer?"

Tang Yin smiled and asked, "Sister Wang, do you think I will die in the enemy's fortress?"

"Isn't it possible?" Ling Shuang raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically: "Brother Wang, I'm afraid even a junior spiritual cultivator can't defeat him now. If he dares to go deep into the enemy's interior to act as an internal agent, I'm afraid that not only will he not be successful, but he will also end up being defeated." He will end up dead without a burial place.”

A glint flashed in Tang Yinhu's eyes. Without spiritual martial arts training, is his martial arts really so vulnerable? He raised the corner of his mouth, changed the subject, and asked, "Is Sister Wang afraid that she will become a widow in the future?"

Lingshuang Yu's face turned red, and she replied with shame and anger: "Only ghosts are afraid..."

Before she finished speaking, Tang Yin said in a deep voice: "Then there is no need to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind!"

"You'd better die right away!" Lingshuang was young, less than twenty, and was born as a monarch. She also had a spoiled temper. She didn't agree with Tang Yin, so the little girl walked away angrily on the spot.
