Volume 10 Chapter 277
Chapter 277
Tang Yin ignored Ling Shuang who left in a huff, and raised his head to Kong Qing, saying, "Do as I say!"
"Yes! Your Highness King Feng!" Although Kong Qing was a general, he felt that it was not appropriate to let Tang Yin take risks personally, but he did not even listen to King Yu's persuasion. Isn't he even more insignificant, and it would be useless to say anything?
Since he could not dissuade him, he could only do as Tang Yin said.
As soon as Kong Qing left, the generals of the Feng Army gathered around Tang Yin, and people asked worriedly, "King, can the Zhen Army be trusted?"
Tang Yin wanted to follow the Zhen Army to sneak into Longding Fortress. Not to mention whether others would find out the flaws, the Zhen Army alone might not be reliable.
What if they betrayed Tang Yin at Longding Fortress? Then Tang Yin would be alone, and he would be helpless.
Hearing everyone's concerns, Tang Yin asked back: "Brother Zhenjun has been with us on the Western Expedition for so long, have you ever done anything secretly colluding with the enemy? As long as Gu Anmin is still on our side, the brothers of Zhenjun will not betray us."
That's what he said, but who can guarantee that there will be no accidents at the critical moment?
The generals were still worried and wanted to talk. Tang Yin waved his hand, looked around at everyone, and said with a smile: "Instead of wasting time to dissuade me, it's better to find some people who are familiar with Qiqin Town to tell me about the situation there!"
The generals looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. They all saw that the king had made up his mind to go to Longding Fortress. It would be useless to persuade him at this time. Let's think about how to ensure the king's safety!
Cheng Jin arranged a dozen high-level dark arrow personnel, asked them to take Sanling Pills in advance, mixed in the Zhen army, and protect Tang Yin's safety. He led the main force of the dark arrows and lurked near the fortress. If there was any change, he could also rescue nearby.
Le Tian and Ai Jia found spies from the Sky Eye and the Ground Network who had investigated Qiqin Town and asked them to tell Tang Yin about the current situation of Qiqin Town in detail. The other two arranged their subordinates to go to the Zhen Army to search for Zhen Army soldiers who lived in Qiqin Town or nearby, hoping to get more information from them.
After a busy period, when Tang Yin had changed into the Zhen Army uniform and was ready to take more than a thousand Zhen Army soldiers to Longding Fortress, it was already two hours later.
The thousand people who accompanied Tang Yin, except for a dozen secret arrows, were all Zhen Army soldiers. The highest-ranking one among them was a Zhen Army Corps Commander named Gu Ji. He was average in spiritual martial arts, but he had a quick reaction, a flexible mind, and excellent adaptability.
When everything was ready and Tang Yin was about to leave, he summoned all the generals and told them about the plan for this battle.
Tang Yin and his men were only more than a thousand people. Even if they successfully infiltrated Longding Fortress, they could not do much. According to Tang Yin's idea, after they mixed in, their army would immediately launch an attack. While the enemy was defending with all their strength, they would suddenly attack from behind, open the gate of the fortress, and let their army in. As long as they could open the gate, their mission would be completed.
The generals had no objection and thought that Tang Yin's method was feasible. The only problem was that the gate must be the focus of the enemy's defense. Could Tang Yin and his team easily sneak attack?
Tang Yin was very confident about this and patted his chest to make a guarantee. As long as they could successfully mix in the fortress, when their army launched an attack, they should be able to open the gate in the chaos.
He was full of confidence, and the generals could not question it anymore, and nodded in response. After discussing with everyone and finalizing the battle plan, Tang Yin led more than a thousand Zhen troops to Longding Fortress.
Since they were dressed as the local army of Qiqin Town, they had to go around and turn to the west side of Longding Fortress before they could march towards the fortress. Only in this way would they not be suspected.
Of course, this way, more time was wasted, which just gave the 100,000 front troops time to quietly approach the Longding Fortress.
Let's talk about Tang Yin and his group. They went west along the foot of Longding Mountain.
In Tang Yin's opinion, Longding Mountain should be called Bald Mountain. Such a large mountain range, rolling for dozens of miles, is barren, the land is loess, and the mountain is also loess. The terrible thing is that the wind and sand in the Longding Mountain area are surprisingly strong. People are blown all over their faces and bodies with yellow sand not long after they walk out of the mountain. As a last resort, people can only raise their sweat towels to cover their mouths and noses when they are on the road.
After finally bypassing Longding Mountain, the wind and sand finally decreased a little. Tang Yin found a small forest on the west side of Longding Mountain according to the map drawn by the Sky Eye and the Ground Network.
He first asked the dark arrows to go and investigate, and confirmed that there was no danger, and then led everyone into the woods.
When they reached the woods, Tang Yin immediately took off his armor and uniform, shook off the dust on his face, and asked everyone to follow his example and clean up all the dust on their bodies.
There is no sandy area on the road from Qiqin Town to Longding Fortress. If they go to the fortress in such a dusty state, they will be exposed without saying anything.
According to Tang Yin's instructions, people took off their armor and clothes, untied their hair buns, and patted the dust on their heads and bodies.
At this time, Gu Ji came to Tang Yin and whispered: "Your Highness, King of Wind, there is a pond not far ahead after passing through the woods here. We can stop there to rest!"
"Pond?" Tang Yin was startled, took out the map, looked down and looked again, but did not see the pond marked on it. He shook the map in his hand and said suspiciously: "General Gu, the map does not indicate that there is a pond nearby."
Gu Ji's face straightened up and he said: "Perhaps Brother Fengjun didn't notice when drawing the map. General Mo lives in Xitang and often visits Longhu County on weekdays. He doesn't dare to know everything about this place, but he is still very familiar with it. of."
"Oh!" Tang Yin responded noncommittally and did not express his position immediately. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay! General Gu will lead the way!"
"Yes! His Highness the Wind King!"
Tang Yin didn't know Gu Ji very well, but after thinking about it, there was no need for him to play tricks with him. If he really had bad intentions, he should have waited until he arrived at Longding Fortress before launching an attack. How could he have alerted the enemy halfway?
Deciding that Gu Ji didn't dare to do anything, Tang Yin led everyone to follow Gu Ji towards the south side of the woods. After leaving the woods, we walked a short distance forward, bypassing a mountain col, and then we saw a small valley. There was actually a pool at the end of the valley. The stream flowed down from the mountainside and gathered in the pool, wasn't it? It's very deep. When you take a closer look, you can see the crystal clear bottom, fish and shrimps are playing, the surroundings are green and lush, flowers and plants meet, and the air is filled with fresh fragrance.
For Tang Yin, who had just come out of Longding Mountain, this place was like a fairyland on earth. After looking at it, Tang Yin couldn't help but look surprised, and said with a smile: "It is indeed a good place!"
It’s hard to imagine that only a dozen miles apart, one place is filled with yellow sand and barren of grass, while the other place is filled with beautiful birds singing and the fragrance of flowers.
Tang Yin walked to the pool, first looked down, then held the water in both hands and drank. The secret arrow personnel hurried forward and warned in a low voice: "Your Majesty, be careful of the poison!"
Lifting his chin toward the pool, Tang Yin smiled and said, "If it were poisonous, the fish in it would have died long ago."
As he spoke, he turned back and waved to Gu Ji and the Zhenjun who were not far away, and said: "The water quality here is good, sweet and refreshing, everyone come here to quench your thirst!"
People had already intended this, but with Tang Yin present, no one dared to make a mistake. Now, listening to his call, people took off their helmets one after another and swarmed over. Many people fell directly to the ground and dipped their faces in the pool to drink.
It was rare to encounter a clean water source, so Tang Yin decided to rest here for a while. He called Gu Ji and the captains of the Zhen Army to come to him, then took out the sketch of Longding Fortress, spread it on the ground, and explained while giving instructions: "This time, we have sneaked into the enemy's fortress with only one goal, and that is the fortress' city gate! When our army starts to attack, we only need to open the city gate and the mission will be completed. Do you all understand?"
"Understood!" Guji and the captains nodded. One of them said with concern: "I heard that there are many defenders in the fortress. I'm afraid... it won't be easy to open the city gate!"
"Yes!" Tang Yin smiled and said, "That's why I have to come here in person to fight side by side with you brothers!" After a pause, he said seriously: "Although I am a wind person and you are a chaste person, even though I am a monarch , you are soldiers, but since we are going to the battlefield together, we should be as close as brothers, regardless of each other. In today's battle, we can only succeed, not fail. If I die, the surviving brothers can give my body to the wind. Army, and if you are killed in battle, I will do my best to send your bodies back to your hometown!"
After hearing this, the atmosphere in the venue immediately fell into silence. In fact, Zhenjun's impression of Tang Yin was neither good nor bad. He just followed the coach Gu Anmin and defected to the coalition army in a confused manner.
This time they were selected to infiltrate Longding Fortress as an internal response, with a total of more than a thousand people. In their view, this was a job with no return, but what was surprising and puzzling was that Feng Wang Tangyin actually went with them.
Originally, they thought that Tang Yin might be here to supervise or watch the battle. But now after hearing his words, people suddenly realized that he was going to sneak into the fortress with them.
Tang Yin is not an ordinary soldier or general, he is a majestic monarch. He actually wants to fight and fight with thousands of them. It would be a lie to say that people are not surprised or shocked.
Another Zhenbing captain asked with tongue-tied eyes: "Why is His Highness the Wind King willing to take risks with us?"
Tang Yin looked squarely at the questioning captain, his eyes gleamed, and he said word by word: "Since you have joined the coalition, no matter where you are from, to me, you are all my brothers. Let brothers fight hard in front, I sit back and enjoy the success, that’s never my habit!”
"Based on His Highness's words, this villain's head will belong to His Highness from now on! The villain will not give up even if he is thrown into the sea of fire and swords!" The captain of the Zhen Army stood up at first, and then respectfully said Kneel down on one knee and intervene to salute.
