Volume 10 Chapter 406
Chapter 406
Tang Yin ate most of a watermelon. Ah San and Ah Si came over and put all the military cards they collected on the counter, saying, "Please choose a piece, my king!"
Looking down, Tang Yin picked up a piece and muttered, "Wu Ting? Which captain Mo Bing did you search from?"
"Yes, my king!" Ah San replied. -
"Yes!" Tang Yin closed his eyes, meditated for a moment, then handed it to Ah San and said, "Destroy this military card."
"Destroy?" Ah San seemed a little surprised.
Tang Yin smiled calmly and said, "Among the soldiers guarding the city gate in Pufeng, there is an acquaintance of Wu Ting. Holding his military card, isn't it just a stepping stone?"
Ah San was stunned and was about to ask how the king knew such details, but suddenly remembered the king's dark fire and understood what was going on. He nodded hurriedly, took the military badge, and said, "Yes, my lord, I understand."
A Si asked beside him, "Then... my lord, can the other military badges still be used?"
Tang Yin thought about it and said, "It should be fine, all the others will be kept." As he spoke, he picked up a military badge with the name "Ma Wu", thinking that the name was quite interesting, and put it back in his arms.
A San and A Si took all the remaining military badges away, and Tang Yin also jumped off the counter and patrolled the tea shed for a week. He didn't find anything wrong, so he walked out of the tea shed. When they got outside, everyone was ready.
Cheng Jin, Letian, A San, A Si and ten others were still wearing Mo Bing's uniforms and armor. The other twenty secret arrows had already taken off their armor and uniforms, revealing the casual clothes inside. They looked no different from ordinary rural people.
Seeing this, Tang Yin smiled and said, "From now on, we are no longer patrol soldiers, but a grain transport team starting from Pu Nan Village to Pu Feng."
"I understand!" Everyone responded in unison.
"Let's go!" Tang Yin shook his head. At his command, the plainclothes secret arrows took up their whips and drove the carriages, while the people disguised as Mo soldiers each carried a spear and walked on the left and right of the carriages.
Tang Yin walked to a carriage and casually lifted the cloth covering a basket. He looked inside and saw a full of white rice. He waved to Le Tian who was not far away. The latter ran over and asked, "What do you want, my king?"
"How many catties of grain are there in these ten carts?"
"At least 150 shi." Le Tian replied seriously.
Calculated as one shi equals 100 jin, 150 shi is equivalent to 15,000 jin, and this is just the amount of grain transported by a village at one time.
Tang Yin frowned secretly and asked again: "If I remember correctly, you said that Pu Nan Village is just a small village of more than a hundred people."
"Yes, my king, the whole village, men, women, old and young, adds up to about 120 people."
"Such a small village can actually provide so much food?" Tang Yin expressed his incomprehension.
Le Tian smiled, looked down at his feet, and said: "My king, in fact, Zeping County and Hao Wan County are both large grain-producing counties in Mo Country. The land here is fertile, the rain is sufficient, and the four seasons are like spring. Most places in our country can only harvest rice once a year, but here it can be harvested three or four times a year, so the grain storage is naturally sufficient."
"So that's it!" Tang Yin nodded in understanding. It turned out that it was not that Feng Country's agricultural technology was not as good as Mo Country, but due to factors such as climate and environment. He raised the corner of his mouth, sneered, and said: "It's a waste to let Mo Country occupy this land that is like a treasure pot."
Le Tian did not answer. I'm afraid that no matter who occupies Hao Wan County, the king will feel it is a waste, of course, except Feng Country.
To make a long story short, they escorted ten carriages and headed straight for Pufeng. On the way, they also encountered two waves of Mo army patrols, but they were disguised perfectly and had complete documents, so they were not questioned much and successfully passed through.
At noon, Tang Yin and his party arrived in Pufeng. Pufeng is the county town of Haowan County. There is a wide moat outside the city. The river is turbulent, like a galloping wild horse. The moat of Pufeng is drawn from the water of the Si River, and the final flow of the Si River is to merge into Zhenjiang.
When they arrived at the moat, the cavalry could not move forward. Now Pufeng is closed, the drawbridge is high, and the city wall is full of soldiers and armor, as if facing a great enemy. Looking up, the arrows that shine coldly under the reflection of the sun are lined up in a long row.
The moat is wide enough, the river is dangerous enough, the walls are high and strong enough, and the garrison has 600,000 people. If you want to attack such a city, you probably need at least one million troops with combat power like the Zhen Army. This is the conclusion Tang Yin came to after observing the Pufeng City Defense from a close distance.
"Who is outside the city?" When Tang Yin was thinking secretly in his heart, a Mo soldier's head popped out from the top of the city and shouted at them.
"We are transporting grain from Pu Nan Village." Tang Yin stepped forward and shouted to the top of the city.
"Wait a minute!" The Mo soldier on the city wall retracted his head, as if he was going to report. After waiting for a long time, another general's head popped out from the top of the city, looked carefully at Tang Yin, and then retracted again. Then, there was no movement in the city.
"What is the Mo Army doing?" Tang Yin looked up at the city wall in front of him and asked Le Tian beside him without turning his head. It's impossible that the other party saw the flaws of his side after just a few glances? That's amazing.
Le Tian didn't understand what the defenders in the city were doing, so he could only guess, "Maybe they were checking to see if there were any grain transport teams coming from Punan Village today."
"Hmph!" Tang Yin snorted coldly and said nothing more.
I don't know how long they waited. Just when Tang Yin and others were wondering if they had been exposed, suddenly, there was a creaking and harsh friction sound in front of them, and the high suspension bridge slowly fell down. At the same time, the city gate was creaking and being pulled open.
Seeing this, Tang Yin breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Mo Ren was just a little slow and didn't notice anything unusual. Not long after, the suspension bridge fell and the city gate was opened. Tang Yin waved to the people behind him and said, "Let's go! Enter the city!"
As he spoke, he walked forward without any worries.
But at this time, even the dark arrow personnel who usually killed people were solemn. You know, there are hundreds of thousands of Mo troops in the city. If they go in, it's like getting into the tiger's mouth and they may die at any time.
Now the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. Everyone gritted their teeth, urged the carriage, followed Tang Yin, and went to the open city gate in front.
As soon as Tang Yin walked across the suspension bridge, more than a hundred Mo soldiers came out of the city gate. The leader was General Mo, who was not very old, less than 30 years old. He had an ordinary appearance, but his eyes were surprisingly bright. He obviously had a good spiritual martial arts training.
Since he had already taken the Sanling Pill in advance, Tang Yin was not afraid that the other party would use insight or sense the spiritual pressure emanating from his body. He walked straight forward, saluted, and said: "I am Ma Wu, and I greet the general!"
"Yes!" The General Mo responded casually. After seeing Tang Yin's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but look at him twice more. After all, it was rare to see a man as handsome as Tang Yin. He stretched out his hand and said, "Show me the document."
Tang Yin reached into his bosom, took out the document, and handed it to General Mo, saying, "General, the grain and grass transported this time is a total of 150 stones."
Confirming that the document was correct, General Mo rolled it up and put it away, waving his hand and saying, "Pull it all into the city!"
"Yes!" Tang Yin just turned around and waved to the people behind him. At this time, a captain suddenly walked out from among the Mo soldiers and asked, "Ma Wu, isn't Wu Ting in charge of the escort this time? Why did it change to you?"
Hearing this, General Mo frowned. At the same time, Cheng Jin, Letian, Asan, Asi and others behind him were also trembling in their hearts. They subconsciously took the Gathering Spirit Pill in their palms. Once there was a change, they could only take the Gathering Spirit Pill in the first time and fight the enemy to the death.
Tang Yin was not as nervous as the others. He was still calm and said, "Brother Wu's wife had a difficult delivery, so she couldn't come. I was asked to lead the team temporarily."
"But..." The captain was about to speak, and Tang Yin immediately added, "Mrs. Wu had a premature delivery. Maybe it was because of the premature delivery that she had a difficult delivery!"
"Ah! So that's how it is." Captain Mo Bing nodded and said, "The last time I went to Old Wu's house for a drink, I heard that my sister-in-law was due to give birth in a month. I didn't expect that she would give birth in just a few days... How is my sister-in-law now?"
Tang Yin shook his head and said, "When we left the village, Mrs. Wu was still giving birth!"
General Mo laughed when he heard this. Listening to the conversation between Tang Yin and Captain Mo Bing, his tense nerves also relaxed. He said to the captain: "Okay, we can talk after we enter the city. Let's transport the food and grass in first."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Captain Mo Bing nodded repeatedly. He whispered to Tang Yin: "This is General Deng. He is very skilled in martial arts and is the bravest among the three armies. You should get close to him!" After a pause, he said: "Old Wu has mentioned you to me before."
"Oh?" Tang Yin was slightly stunned, and then asked with a smile: "What did he mention about me?"
"They said you are a young soldier. The Ma family is the largest family in Punan Village..." Captain Mo Bing laughed.
When General Mo heard this, he understood. No wonder Ma Wu looked so delicate and tender. It turned out that his family was quite wealthy.
Tang Yin didn't really know that Ma Wu was from a wealthy family in Punan Village. Although he used the Dark Fire's soul to burn and absorb Wu Ting's soul, it was impossible for him to master all of his memories at once. The reason why he chose the military badge of Ma Wu was that he thought the name was interesting. He didn't expect that he made the right choice. Otherwise, how could a child from an ordinary peasant family who had never practiced spiritual martial arts be as fair as him.
