Chapter 278
Hearing the shouts from behind, Tang Yin and the surrounding generals were stunned, and they all looked back, and Shangguan Yuanbiao, who was originally going to urge the horse to rush out, also subconsciously restrained the war horse.
With the sound of hurried horses' hooves, a horse riding a fast horse rushed to Tang Yin's approach, the war horse did not completely stop loving, she flipped off the horse, ran forward two steps, knelt on one knee, and said breathlessly: "My lord, the big thing is not good, our army has encountered a sneak attack by the enemy in the rear!"
"What?" When Tang Yin heard this, his brows immediately furrowed, the enemy army sneaked attack? Where did the enemy come from? Along the way, there were no enemy ambushes! Besides, there were so many people in the army that thousands of enemy troops could not be injured at all. He asked, "Where is the attack, and how many enemy troops are there?"
The detective said, "Yes...... It was the rear escort team that was attacked by the enemy, and the enemy's number limit was not clearly detected, and when Lord Qiu led the team back to rescue, the enemy had already run away, and I ...... Most of our army's grain and grass were burned down!"
"Huh?" Tang Yin gasped, this was not an attack on a large army on the side, but an attack on the logistics troops, but this was more serious than the attack on his own team, if there was no food and grass in the army, how could the battle continue? Tang Yin sat on his horse, his fists clenched, and the cunning enemy army secretly went around his rear.
At this time, Tang Yin also figured out Mao Ande's plan, as Qiu Zhen said, he did deliberately kill the envoys sent by the party, deliberately provoking himself, and when the party was attacking, he took advantage of this familiar geography to secretly turn to the back of the side, sneak attack logistics supplies, and force the side to retreat.
Tang Yin was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth, pointed to Linqiao City in front, and shouted: "Don't worry about the rear, let alone worry about food and grass, the whole army will attack, and you will take Linqiao City in one fell swoop!"
"Yes, sir!" the surrounding generals intervened to receive the order.
This time, not only Shangguan Yuanbiao went into battle, but even Tang Yin and the soldiers who touched it also went into battle together, and the light cavalry team of 10,000 people ran wildly, like a sharp arrow, straight into Linqiao City, Tang Yin made up his mind that Mao An could sneak attack the logistics of the party, and he could also take out his nest, the county seat of Nuoda, there would definitely be a large amount of grain and grass hoarded in it, enough for supplies.
At this time, Linqiao City is no different from the empty city, the Peng army inside has already followed Mao An to the city, when Tang Yin and the others rushed to the city gate, the city was empty, and there was not even a soldier standing guard, Tang Yin looked at it, laughed, waved his hand and shouted: "Go to the wall!
With his order, a team of galloped soldiers quickly dismounted, and removed the flying claws from the horses, walked to the foot of the city wall, and threw the flying claws on the city, and after the flying claws were grasped, they pulled the rope and quickly climbed up the city wall, there was indeed no one on the city wall, looking into the city, it was empty, and there was not even a pedestrian on the street in broad daylight.
The soldiers didn't care so much, they followed the city wall into the city, and then together they moved the latch of the city gate, opened the gate, and let the large group of men and horses into the city.
Because of Mao An's cunning, Tang Yin was more careful this time, and did not dare to enter hastily, so he first sent dark arrow personnel into the city to investigate, and after confirming that there were no ambushes, he ordered the whole army to be like a city.
Of course, the county seat can't be an empty city, but it's true that the people in the city are hiding at home and don't dare to come out.
After Tang Yin entered the city, he looked around the street and saw houses on both sides of the street. The doors and windows of the store were all closed, he took a deep breath, turned around and shook his head at Cheng Jin in the back, and said, "Bring some people from this city here!"
"Yes!" Cheng Jin agreed, turned over his horse, walked two steps along the street, stopped in front of a larger house, and then stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.
Knock, knock, knock!
The sound of his smashing was extremely harsh in the dead city, and after knocking for a while, no one came out to open the door, Cheng Jinda frowned, took a step back, and then lifted his leg, with a muffled sound from Peng, the big wooden door of the house opened in response, and the wooden door inside was shaken into two.
At the same time as the door kicked open, there was also a scream inside, Cheng Jin raised his eyes and looked, okay, it turned out that a group of people were standing around the courtyard of the house, there were men and women, old and young, obviously a large family, at this time, people's faces were pale and ugly, their expressions were panicked, looking at Cheng Jin wearing spirit armor and other dark arrow personnel outside the door. I was scared and didn't dare to breathe. "Since they are all in the yard, what are you pretending to be deaf?" Cheng Jin strode into the courtyard, shook his head at the family, and said, "Come out with me!"
"The general spares his life, the general spares his life-" The family trembled as Cheng Jin entered the hospital, and they fell to their knees one after another, begging for mercy again and again.
What are they doing? I didn't want to kill them! Cheng Jin's brows furrowed even deeper, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Stand up and go out with me!"
The family didn't know what his intentions were, but they thought he was going to kill someone, and none of them dared to stand up, and they begged for mercy one after another. Cheng Jin didn't have the patience to spend time with them, so he turned around and shook his head at the personnel of the dark arrow and said, "Pull them all out!"
The Dark Arrow personnel agreed, and they all stepped forward, regardless of the cries of these men, women, and children, and dragged them out of the yard one by one.
Soon, they were taken to Tang Yin's horse by the Dark Arrow Officers.
Tang Yin looked at everyone at the bottom, and saw that this family was frightened and shrunk into a ball, he was puzzled in his heart, he was not a fierce god and evil, how could the people of Linqiao City be so afraid of the soldiers of the Fang Fang? What he didn't know was that Mao An had long described the Tianyuan Army as a flood beast, calling it the army of tigers and wolves, killing people like hemp, and all of them were bloodthirsty demons.
Under Mao An's repeated propaganda, the people of Linqiao City gradually became afraid and panicked about the Tianyuan Army.
Tang Yin's gaze fell on an old man in the crowd, and he asked with a smile: "Uncle, you don't have to be afraid, I won't hurt you and your family, I just want to know where the county government is and where the county treasury is." ”
The old man boldly glanced up at Tang Yin, then hurriedly lowered his head again, and said tremblingly: Old ...... Husband is not ready to ......"
Isn't it ridiculous that people in the county town don't know where the county government is?
Without waiting for Tang Yin to speak, Cheng Jin glared, reached out and grabbed the old man's neck, and said angrily: "Their Tianyuan Army is here to destroy the rebel bell, but you are defending the rebel party everywhere, what is your intention?
The old man was lifted by him, his feet were almost off the ground, how could he still hear what he was saying, the old man's face was red, and it seemed that he might turn his back at any time. Seeing this, the family members around the old man knelt on the ground one after another, crying and shouting for mercy, and it became a mess for a while.
Tang Yin was also angry with these people, he suppressed his anger, stopped Cheng Jin, and then his eyes fell on a little girl about ten years old, he bent down, grabbed the little girl's armpit, lifted it, put it on horseback, and let her sit in front of him. He smiled and said, "Little girl, tell me how to get to the county government!"
The little girl looked at Tang Yin curiously. Although his parents said that Tianyuan Jun killed people without blinking, he didn't think Tang Yin was a bad person no matter how he looked at it.
Of course. This is mainly because Tang Yin has a pleasing face, not only handsome, but also smiling, when he hides the evil spirit, the smile is even more amiable, and the corners of his mouth show white and sharp tiger teeth, making him a little more cute.
The little girl was taken aback at first when she was hugged by him. But his smile quickly calmed down, he looked directly at Tang Yin, and whispered: "Mother said that you are bad people......"
Tang Yin said with a smile: "We are not bad people, we are big bad people." ”
"Really?"
"Of course. ”
"Then did you kill people?"
"Kill only the bad guys. ”
"Grandpa, grandma, dad and mom are all good people, and me,"
Tang Yin was amused by his words and smiled, and said, "So we won't kill you, but will protect you."
If so...... I'll take you to the county guard's mansion," the child had no scheming, and was moved by Tang Yin's words, but the little girl's family was in a cold sweat, regardless of whether Tianyuan County would kill their own people, but if Tianyuan County was guided to the county guard's mansion and let the county guard Mao An know about it, it would also be a felony to exterminate the clan.
Before he could exit the little blue girl, Tang Yin urged the war horse and shouted, "Let's go." ”
With the guidance of the little girl, Tang Yin and his entourage could quickly whip up, and soon came to the door of the mansion that paid first, the door of the mansion was closed, it was quiet inside, there was no sound at all, Tang Yin turned his head sideways, no need to speak, the Shangguan brothers around him got up together, knocked open the door of the mansion, and broke into the mansion.
Everyone searched carefully in the county guard's mansion, not to mention that they didn't find the county guard Mao An, not even a servant or a guard. Everyone returned one after another and replied to Tang Yin, explaining that there was no one in the house. Tang Yin was not surprised, since Mao An had abandoned the city, his family must have escaped in the secret passage.
He waved to the crowd and motioned for them to return, then looked down at the little girl leaning on his arms and asked, "Little girl, where is the county treasury?"
"It's not far ahead," the little girl pointed to the left side of the county guard's house.
Tang Yin nodded, raised his hand and rubbed the girl's little head, and at the same time, his feet stirruped, and galloped over.
Soon, Tang Yin and his entourage arrived at the county treasury again, and before they could get closer, Tang Yin's heart was already half cold, because they saw the iron door of the county treasury open from afar, and when they got closer, they looked at it again, and sure enough, there was nothing in the spacious county treasury, not to mention grain, and even the treasury silver was carried away. All that's left is weeds and littered garbage.
Damn Mao An, after watching it, Tang Yin hated it so much that the roots of his teeth itched, and now that his own grain and grass have been destroyed, and there is no grain accumulation in the county, how can this be good?
But after thinking about it, he laughed again, there is no food in the first storehouse, then there must be food in the people's homes, Lin Qiaocheng is so big, there are so many people in the city, if the food of each household is concentrated, it is enough for his own army.
