Chapter 431
Before Xiao Xin could finish his words, Cheng Jin had already raised his leg and kicked him hard on the back. Xiao Xin let out a cry, rushed forward with his head down, and slid far away on the ground until he rolled to Tang Yin.
Cheng Jin quickly followed him, stepped on his back, and shouted: "Just say whatever I ask you. You don't need to analyze it. If you dare to talk nonsense any more, I will kick your head to pieces!"
Xiao Xin was frightened, frightened, and in unbearable pain all over his body. His nose and tears flowed more, and he screamed at Tang Yin: "Sir, please spare my life! My Lord, please spare your life—"
Tang Yin smiled slightly and saw that Xiao Xin's face was torn with several pieces of skin and covered with dust. He took out the handkerchief, handed it to Xiao Xin kindly, and said softly: "Wipe your face first." After that,
, he then said to Cheng Jin: "Since Xiao Xin is devoted to the court, he is one of our own, and we can't be so rude again."
Tang Yin could pretend to be approachable to such a villain, but Cheng Jin couldn't pretend to be so. He glared at Xiao Xin fiercely, but still said, "Yes, sir!"
Letting Xiao Xin calm down, Tang Yin looked at Xiao Xin who was kneeling in front of him with a smile, and asked: "You didn't finish what you said just now, what else?"
"Oh..." Xiao Xin thought for a while before remembering what he was going to say. He turned around and looked at Cheng Jin in fear. Seeing Cheng Jin staring at him with a pair of murderous eyes, his face was frightened.
Pale and trembling, he said: "In addition, Xiao Shang has two very powerful generals, one is named Hao Zhao, the other is named Jiang Fan, especially Jiang Fan..." He wanted to explain more, but suddenly remembered Cheng
Jin swallowed the warning just now and swallowed back the next words.
Tang Yin saw his concerns and said with a smile: "Don't worry, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
"Ah, sir, especially Jiang Fan. Like you, he is also a dark spiritual cultivator. Although he is young, less than thirty, he has never encountered an opponent since he joined the army. Sir, you should be careful about this person.
ah!"
"Hmph!" Cheng Jin couldn't help but snorted coldly, and said with a sneer: "What kind of master can there be in this small Gaochuan County? I haven't met an opponent there, and that doesn't mean anything. If you mean what you said,
If Jiang Fan is really so powerful, wouldn't Zhong Tian have already called him into his command?"
Xiao Xin smiled bitterly, Gaochuan County is far away from the emperor. If Xiao Shang, the county chief, did not take the initiative to recommend it, how could Zhong Tian know that there is such a powerful person as Jiang Fan? But now he is afraid of Cheng Jin from the bottom of his heart and does not dare to explain more.
, nodded in agreement, and said: "Yes, yes, yes! What the general said is absolutely true, the villain is short-sighted!"
Although Tang Yin listened carefully, he didn't take it too seriously. He had the same idea as Cheng Jin. Gaochuan County was too small and too insular. He didn't think Xiao Shang could have any great generals under his command. He turned back and faced Shangguan.
Yuanwu made a move, and the latter understood, took the map of Zhangyu and handed it to Tang Yin.
He took it and looked at it twice, then put it in front of Xiao Xin and said: "Please mark out the city defense situation of Zhangyu in detail. If everything is true, I will spare your life. If you dare to lie to me, haha, then...
Don’t blame my men for being ruthless.”
Xiao Xin was frightened and quickly took the map. At this time, Shangguan Yuanbiao brought the pen and ink over again. Xiao Xin picked up the pen, looked at the map and pondered for a moment, then looked at Tang Yin in embarrassment and said: "Sir, the villain is in Pan."
Shui has been stationed here for more than ten days. I don’t even know how many changes have occurred in the defense of Zhangyu City in these more than ten days!"
Tang Yin raised his head and said, "Just mark out what you know in detail. As for the rest, you don't have to worry about it!"
"Yes! Sir!"
Xiao Xin breathed a sigh of relief, took a pen, and sketched on the map, where the city defense was strong, where the city defense was weak, where heavy troops were stored, where there was a shortage of troops, as well as where the city defense weapons were deployed, their types and quantities, where food and grass were stored, etc.
All important information is drawn on the map one by one and marked.
After he finished writing everything, he picked up the map and read it again from beginning to end to confirm that it was correct. Then he nodded with satisfaction, smiled at Tang Yin, and said, "Sir, everything I know has been marked on it.
Already."
"Yes!" Tang Yin took it and took a brief look at it. He felt that it was reasonable. He nodded with satisfaction, folded the map together, smiled and played with his nails, and said: "Very good, it seems that you are indeed my Dafeng."
Loyal minister."
"Yes, yes, yes! You can see clearly that the villain has been loyal to Dafeng from the beginning to the end." Xiao Xin immediately followed Tang Yin's words to express his position again, and at the same time, he caught a glimpse of Tang Yin's nails out of the corner of his eye.
Clean, smooth and full, with not even a speck of dirt between the gaps.
"Since you are so loyal..." Tang Yin stretched out his hand with a smile, turned his palm over, and turned his palm upward. Without any warning, with a cry, a ball of black flame suddenly burst out in his palm. Pure black.
The ball of fire condensed in his palm, floating in the air, beating, and faintly glowing with blue light.
"Then you go and keep the late king company!" As he spoke, Tang Yin didn't wait for Xiao Xin to react, and suddenly pressed his palm on the top of his head. Phew! The fire of darkness instantly burned from Xiao Xin's head to his whole body.
With a very short scream, the man fell to the ground, motionless, and died on the spot. At the same time, white mist rose up from his body, and Tang Yin inhaled all of it into his body.
After sucking up the aura created by Xiao Xin, Tang Yin let out a faint sigh, closed his eyes, and was silent for a moment. Then he nodded and confirmed that the markings Xiao Xin made on the map were not false, and then picked up the map again and looked at it in detail. In fact, he
He can get everything he wants from Xiao Xin's aura, but he doesn't have the patience to search for it bit by bit in the other person's memory.
Seeing that Tang Yin was looking at the map seriously and no longer paying attention to the corpse on the ground, Cheng Jin stepped forward, grabbed the corpse's clothes and pulled it out of the tent like a dead dog.
According to Xiao Xin's note, Zhangyu's defenses are strong in the west and south, and weak in the east and north. Most of its city defense weapons and army grain and grass supplies are stored in the west city and south city. If this is the case now, then our side will attack Zhangyu fiercely.
You can easily win on the east and north sides. Thinking of this, Tang Yin smiled, handed the map to Yuan Wu and Yuan Biao behind him, and asked: "Take a look, what tactics should we use when we attack Zhangyu?"
Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao did not expect that Tang Yin would suddenly ask for their opinions. They hurriedly stepped forward, took the map and looked at it carefully. After looking at it carefully, Shangguan Yuanbiao grinned widely and said: "Sir, Zhangyu City
The defenses in the north of Dongcheng are extremely weak, and the total number of defenders on both sides does not exceed 3,000. If our army attacks these two directions with all its strength, we can break the city in one attack."
Tang Yin listened and nodded with a smile, but did not answer.
Shangguan Yuanwu shook his head and said with concern: "Even if Xiao Xin's prediction is true, the situation he has grasped was more than ten days ago. Who knows what changes will happen to Zhangyu's city defense in these ten days?
, Your Excellency, you should be careful and cannot use this picture to designate a siege strategy."
"Yes!" Tang Yin restrained his smile and said seriously: "What Yuan Wu said is absolutely true. However, although the information provided by Xiao Xin may not be the actual situation in Zhangyu, the other party's granary and armory are located in the west and south of the city respectively.
It cannot be false. No matter how the enemy forces change their defenses, they cannot suddenly move the granaries and armories. Therefore, the defenses in the west and south of the city must be stronger than those in the east and north of the city. If we want to attack, our main attack direction must still be in
On these two points.”
"Yes!" Shangguan Yuanwu nodded thoughtfully.
Shangguan Yuanbiao said with a smile: "I am probably right!"
Tang Yin rolled his eyes at him and muttered: "You are right."
"Haha..." Shangguan Yuanbiao shrugged and laughed repeatedly.
General Tang Yin looked at the map again, then called the guards outside and ordered him to find all his generals to discuss the strategy of attacking Zhangyu.
The guards had not left for long, and the generals headed by Shangguan Yuanrang and Zhan Hu, as well as the generals headed by Xiao Muqing and Ziying, arrived one after another.
Tang Yin first handed the map to everyone, and after they all looked at it, he asked: "General Xiao, how many days will it take at the earliest for all the Pingyuan Army to cross the river?"
"Back to you, sir." Xiao Muqing took a step forward, bowed her hands in a respectful salute, and said, "It will take another two days."
Tang Yin responded: "Okay, in two days, when all the Pingyuan troops have crossed the Pan River, our army will march directly to Zhangyu." After a pause, he asked again: "What do you mean?"
Before anyone else could reply, Xiao Muqing had already exclaimed: "My lord, you see! It's almost May, and the weather is getting hotter and muggier, especially in the mountains, which are humid and watery. Our soldiers are extremely uncomfortable with it, so a quick battle and a quick decision is the best strategy. Sir
The thoughtfulness is profound and admirable!”
What he said were all facts, but after Xiao Muqing said the words, everyone present felt uncomfortable hearing them, and felt that Xiao Muqing was like a villain who was good at flattery.
Tang Yinze threw his head back and laughed, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. He paused for a while and then said: "Everyone has seen the map of Zhangyu. The marks on it are the city defense situation more than ten days ago. I decided to wait for the army to arrive.
After Zhangyu, attack the east and north of the city first, General Xiao, what do you think?"
After hearing this, Xiao Muqing did not dare to be careless. He took the map and looked at it carefully. After a while, he closed the map and praised: "Your Excellency is wise and powerful, and his astuteness is extraordinary. The strategy he has decided is the best. The final general has no clues."
objection."
Ziying secretly sighed. Although Xiao Muqing's flattery was annoying, there was indeed nothing wrong with the two attack directions designated by Tang Yin. It really couldn't be said that Xiao Muqing's flattery was wrong.
Tang Yin looked at Ziying again with a smile and asked: "General Ziying, what do you think?"
Ziying cupped his hands and said, "The general also thinks it's feasible."
"Okay!" Tang Yin said with a smile: "The Pingyuan Army will mainly attack the north of Zhangyu City, and the Tianying Army will follow me to attack the east of Zhangyu City. If you all have no objections, then this matter will be settled!"
