Chapter 134
"Why?" everyone looked at Qiu Zhen in confusion.
Qiu Zhen sighed and said with a wry smile, "The 200,000 enemy army, it will take a few days for the king and the ministers to discuss, even if you can agree to reinforce Pingyuan County, gather troops, allocate materials, and prepare grain and grass, these will take time, and it will take several days to complete all the preparations, and even if it is a rapid march from Yancheng to Pingyuan County, it will take nearly twenty days, from beginning to end, it will take at least a month for the royal court's reinforcements to reach Pingyuan County, such a long time, I am afraid that the barbarians will already break our city. Kill all of our people!"
After listening to Qiu Zhen's words, everyone was like a deflated ball, and they all had no words.
He was telling the truth, if he thought about it, if Wang Ting could send reinforcements within a month, it would be considered fast.
Agreeing to ponder for a moment, he asked, "What do you mean?"
Qiu Zhense said: "It's better to rely on others than on ourselves, everyone should be prepared to resist this barbarian army on our own." ”
Zhang Zhou's eyebrows were about to twist into a pimple, and he said worriedly: "200,000 barbarians, where can we resist it? Won't the county send reinforcements?"
Qiu Zhen shook his head and said: "I don't know, maybe it will, maybe not, but even if reinforcements are sent, the number will not be too many, and the soldiers in the county lack actual combat experience, and the training on weekdays is also lax, and the combat effectiveness will not be too strong, and it may not be able to help us when we come."
His words were like a steel needle, and all the hopes in the hearts of the people were defeated.
Juno stared at Yuan Yuan for a while, and said angrily: "If it is according to Lord Qiu's words, then we don't have to fight, the royal court's reinforcements will not come, and the reinforcements in the county may not be able to send shovels, and we can't stop so many enemies on our own, what should we do?"
Between the words, everyone turned their eyes to Tang Yin, he was the county guard, and whether he fought or withdrew, it all depended on his words.
Fleeing without a fight? He couldn't find this word in Tang Yin's dictionary, he looked around at everyone and said quietly: "I remember that when the Ning army attacked Tongmen on a large scale, General Zongzheng once said that there were only generals who died on the battlefield in the Feng Country, and there were no generals who escaped from the battle. Although I am not a general in an important position, I don't want to be a coward who retreats in danger, and I hope that your brothers can be like me, stick to Pingyuan County, and never take half a step back. ”
Tang Yin's words showed his determination, even if he met the enemy alone, he would fight the enemy to the end.
When he said this, everyone had a bottom in their hearts, and the official brothers, Juno and others gave up their hands and said: "Your Excellency, rest assured, your subordinates swear to live and die with your lord, advance and retreat together!"
"Very good!" Tang Yin nodded, his fingers lightly tapped on the table, his brain was moving rapidly, thinking about how to compete with the 200,000 barbarian soldiers with his own 80,000 soldiers, 200,000 people is too much, whether it is attacking villages or towns, I am afraid that it will be leveled in a walk, and if you want to resist, you must concentrate all your forces. Thinking of this, he decisively ordered: "We can't defend the border city anymore, the defenders of the border city and the people in the city will all withdraw to Hengcheng, and we will concentrate manpower to only defend Hengcheng." ”
Qiu Zhen had no objection to this, and responded: "My lord, I see it clearly!"
Tang Yin's eyes rolled, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he raised his eyes to look at the silent Xiao Muqing, and said, "Xiao joins the army!"
"The subordinates are here!" Xiao Muqing hurriedly raised his head and looked at Tang Yin.
Tang Yin said: "I want to leave the defense of Hengcheng to you, are you willing to take on this heavy responsibility?"
Hearing this, not to mention that Xiao Muqing was stunned, the others present were also taken aback. Hengcheng is the core of Pingyuan County, which is related to its own heavy responsibility and the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in Pingyuan County, Tang Yin actually let Xiao Muqing be responsible for the anti-counterfeiting of Hengcheng, which is equivalent to putting the fate of Pingyuan County into Xiao Muqing's hands, how can this not be surprising?
After being stunned for a long time, Xiao Muqing came back to his senses, and he hurriedly said, "My lord, my subordinates...... I'm afraid it's difficult to take on this important task, and with adults here, how dare my subordinates overstep their authority......"
Before he could finish speaking, Tang Yin shook his head and interrupted: "I won't stay in Hengcheng!"
"What?" said the crowd's eyes widened in surprise.
"Siege Wei and save Zhao!" Tang Yin saw that the confusion in everyone's eyes was even stronger, and explained: "The 200,000 barbarian soldiers, who can't retreat, can only find a way to retreat beyond them, so I plan to lead our cavalry to break into the territory of the barbarian gang, bypass the enemy army, and directly take the national capital of the barbarian gang, Besa Cheng, and only if the national capital is attacked, can the army of the barbarian gang be hooked over!"
I see, after hearing this, everyone sighed one after another, but after thinking about it, their hearts rose again. Besa Cheng, that is the core of the Besa city-state, that is, the capital and the place of origin, the defense must be tight, at present there are only more than 4,000 cavalry on their side, go to attack, only afraid that the sneak attack will not succeed, but will be surrounded and annihilated by the other party.
Even Qiu Zhen grinned again and again at this time, and said, "My lord, this plan is too risky, and it may not be feasible, in case there are many defenders of Besa, and your lord only brings 4,000 cavalry, won't it be a stone with an egg?"
Tang Yin snorted and said: "After fighting with the barbarian gang for so long, don't you know much about the barbarian gang? The barbarian gang is vast and sparsely populated, and the army of 200,000 is such a huge number, the barbarian gang has raised so many people, it must be a smashing pot and selling iron, if I expect it to be good, the army in Besa Chengnei is empty, even if there are defenders, the number cannot exceed 10,000, and the barbarian gang would never have thought that when their army pressed the border, I would dare to sneak attack their capital, surprise and attack it, and I will definitely be able to break the enemy with one blow!"
Qiu Zhen pondered Tang Yin's words carefully, and felt that what he said was also reasonable, although this plan was risky, it was also a strange trick, and if it was not good, it could really win by surprise. However, Besa Cheng was in the mansion of the barbarians, the road was far away, and Tang Yin only led 4,000 cavalry to go, what should he do if he was unexpected? Even if only one barbarian soldier discovered his whereabouts, this plan might be in vain, and Tang Yin and the 4,000 cavalry under his command would all have to die.
Four thousand backwards, Qiu Zhen still felt that this plan was too risky, but then again, apart from this method, there was no good way for his side to retreat from the enemy.
Qiu Zhen didn't answer, and the others were silent, and the entire hall was silent, silent, and deadly silent.
Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, looked around at everyone, laughed, and said, "You guys have something to say!"
Xiao Muqing asked cautiously, "What if...... What should I do if an accident happens to an adult in the Barbarian Gang?"
Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "Then I can only count on you to kill more barbarians and help me avenge me." ”
"My lord, this is not the time to joke. ”
"I'm not kidding!" Tang Yin Zhengse said: "If I really can't die in the barbarian gang, I hope you can persevere and fight the barbarians to the end, if you die, I won't come back in the barbarian gang, I can kill as many as I want, and I will use the blood of the barbarians to pay tribute to the heroic souls of your brothers!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present felt hot, their eyes were red, and they almost burst into tears. Tang Yin is not a person who is good at words, and he will not talk about brotherhood, but he will take practical actions, and everyone who has followed him for so long knows in their hearts that he is not just saying this, but can really do what he says.
Xiao Muqing took a deep breath, took a step forward, and arched his hand and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best to resist the attack of the barbarians, and wait for my lord's triumphant return!"
Tang Yin glanced at Xiao Muqing deeply and said, "With your words, I will be relieved, if I come back and Hengcheng is still there, I will promote you to be the general of the Commander Plains Army!"
Xiao Muqing seemed to be clicked, his body shook suddenly, he didn't say anything else, he knelt down on one knee directly, and said in a sincere voice: "My subordinates, thank you first." ”
Although the Plains Army only has five corps, it has 80,000 manpower, close to a regular group army, in charge of the Plains Army, it is equivalent to the general of the group army, Xiao Muqing has dreamed of this day, how can he not be excited? !
Tang Yin handed over the command of the defense of Hengcheng to Xiao Muqing, while he himself prepared to lead 4,000 cavalry to attack Besa City.
This strategy to encircle Wei and save Zhao can be described as extremely bold, as long as there is a slight teaspoon, Tang Yin will be finished, the four thousand cavalry under his command will be finished, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Hengcheng will be finished.
He found the Tianyan blanket who reported the news, and asked him to send a message to Lotte immediately, asking him to return to Pingyuan County. Tang Yin wants to attack Besa City, and Lotte is indispensable for the assistance.
There is no need for him to give orders, how can Lotte not come back if there is such a big enemy.
Two days later, Lotte rode back to Hengcheng on a fast horse, and on the same day, Ai Jia also rushed back.
Tang Yin asked Ai Jia to assist Xiao Muqing and guard Hengcheng, while Lei An explained his plan to him.
Lotte was also shocked when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down.
He stayed in the Barbarian Gang for the past two months, and his understanding of the Barbarian Gang has been further deepened, especially the geography of the city-state of Besa. After listening to Tang Yin's plan to sneak attack Besa City, he thought for a while and said, "My lord, this plan is feasible!"
Hearing Lotte say this, Tang Yin's spirits were suddenly lifted, and he asked, "Why do you say that?"
"I know of a route that can bypass the barbarian city and lead directly to Besa City, which route does not have a barbarian fortress and is not garrisoned by barbarians, but the conditions are a little more difficult, and the road is very difficult to walk......"
Tang Yin was overjoyed when he heard this, and attacked Besa City, what made him most worried was how to avoid the barbarians, he smiled: "It doesn't matter if the road is difficult or not, the important thing is whether we can reach Besa City safely!"
"This road was obtained by me from the barbarian herdsmen, and I also sent my brothers to verify it, it can indeed lead directly to the city of Besa, but it is a detour, the route is long, the environment is bitter, and it is not suitable for marching, the barbarians used to walk this route, and then it gradually became abandoned, and now many barbarians do not know that there is this road. ”
