Chapter Ninety-Three Listening to Xiao Muqing's analysis, Tang Yin became interested and asked, "You just judged from this that the barbarians were going to attack Yuanwang Town."
"Yes, my lord," Xiao Muqing nodded and said.
"You know the brute very well," Tang Yin raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Muqing did not answer directly, but said: "My subordinate joined the army at the age of sixteen, and he has been in the army for nearly ten years. ” Tang Yin really didn't see this, and he didn't expect that this young captain had nearly ten years of military experience.
On the other hand, he has only been a captain for nearly ten years, which makes people feel incredible.
He didn't ask any further questions, and after a change of words, he asked again: "Then you say, this time the brute attack on Yuanwang Town will also be a test for attacking the border city?"
Xiao Muqing was very surprised by Tang Yin's quick reaction, and was stunned for a moment, and said: "Originally, there was this possibility, but now, the barbarian soldiers will definitely attack in a big way, but the target is not necessarily a border city." ” "Why" "The psychology of revenge has always been very strong, and they have always looked down on our wind army, this time they suffered a big loss in Yuanwang Town, and they will definitely attract more troops to come back to retaliate, just attacking Yuanwangzhen is probably not enough to eliminate the anger in their hearts, and the border city of Ten will become their preferred target" Tang Yin was secretly surprised, firstly, he was surprised by Xiao Muqing's analysis of the brute soldiers, and secondly, he was surprised by his mind.
If it is as he says, the situation in that city will be dangerous.
He asked, "How many troops do you think the barbarians will send in retaliation?"
"Oh" Xiao Muqing thought for a while and said, "It is estimated that it will be between 50,000 and 100,000" With so many people, Tang Yin frowned and was silent in thought.
At this time, a commander who came to reinforce came over, approached Tang Yin, gave a deep salute, and then said: "My lord, the battlefield has been cleaned, and more than 200 corpses of barbarians have been found, and more than 100 of our army have been killed. ” Tang Yin came back to his senses and responded, "Okay, I know." ” In fact, there were far more than 200 barbarians killed in the battle, and many others died in Tang Yin's dark fire, and their bones were gone.
As for the casualties on the side of the Feng Army, most of them were the defenders here in Yuanwang Town, and the more than 100 cavalry brought by Tang Yin did not lose a few people, and the infantry reinforced behind were not damaged.
He looked at Xiao Muqing and Jin Xin, waved his hand and said, "You two go and get busy, I will find you two again if I have something." ” "Yes, my lord, my subordinates will retire" Xiao and Jin bowed their hands and retreated.
After the two of them left, Tang Yin asked the commander of the thousand and said, "Do you know the two of them?"
The commander looked at the backs of the two of them, nodded and said: "Yes, they are the captains of Yuan Wangzhen, one is called Xiao Muqing, the other is called Jin Xin, my lord, is there a problem with the two of them?"
Tang Yin waved his hand and said, "I heard that the captain named Xiao Muqing has been in the army for ten years."
"Yes," the commander shook his head and smiled bitterly, "His military age is much longer than mine."
"Then why is he just a captain?"
"There are a number of reasons for this."
The commander scratched his forehead and said: "His spiritual martial arts are not strong, this is nothing, according to his military age, he should have been promoted, but he was too timid, and committed several felonies of escaping from the battle, if it wasn't for his long military experience, considering that he has no merit and hard work in the army, he should have been punished by military justice a long time ago."
It turned out that Tang Yin was quite disappointed by such a thousand commanders' explanation, but he suddenly remembered Qiu Zhen again.
Isn't Qiu Zhen such a person who seems to be greedy for life and afraid of death, but in fact he is shrewd and knows the way to protect himself, in Qiu Zhen's words, it is the most stupid behavior to make meaningless sacrifices knowing that he is invincible, is this Xiao Muqing and Qiu Zhen are the same kind of people Tang Yin grinned, shook his head and didn't think about it anymore, the top priority now was to immediately strengthen the defense of the border city, in case the barbarians really killed, their own side would not be caught off guard.
At this time, the town began to come alive.
When the barbarians came to attack just now, the people in the town seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, except for the barbarians and the defenders, not a single civilian could not be seen, and now the barbarians were killed and retreated, and people came out of the hiding places one after another, stopping in the distance, looking at the corpses left by the barbarians, and the expressions on their faces were all fear and hatred.
Seeing this, Tang Yin walked towards the crowd of ordinary people.
The people of Yuan Wangzhen didn't know Tang Yin, but seeing that although he was young, he was dressed extraordinarily, and there were guards around him, so they didn't need to ask and knew that his identity was not simple, and people invariably cast curious and awe-inspiring glances at him.
Walking to the front of the crowd, Tang Yin first smiled and said, "Everyone is frightened, I am Tang Yin." ” Ah, the people were taken aback when they heard this, it turned out that this handsome young man was the newly appointed county guard Tang Yin of Pingyuan County In the hearts of ordinary people, the county guard is high, not the ordinary people can see it, I can't imagine that this time to resist the barbarians, the county guard can come to Yuanwang Town in person.
As soon as his words fell, an uproar sounded in front of him, and hundreds of people gathered here fell to their knees.
Tang Yin was taken aback, it could be said that he had never been treated like this since he was the county warden of Pingyuan County.
He hurriedly stretched out his hand and helped the nearest middle-aged man to his feet, and then waved his hand to the others and said, "Folks, don't be polite, everyone get up."
"My lord" An old man in the crowd raised his head, looked at Tang Yin and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, you want to save the people of my original hope town."
Tang Yin looked at the old man who was talking inexplicably, didn't he already rush over to the rescue, what else to save He bowed his head and said: "Old man, if you have something to say, please speak up" The old man lamented: "It is a good thing that the adults can come to the rescue of Yuanwang Town in person and defeat the barbarians, but the barbarians have died here, and they will definitely come to retaliate in the future, and then the men, women and children in the town will be killed."
"Yes, my lord" After listening to the old man's words, the other people also echoed him, and they all had expressions of imminent disaster.
This is a problem, the barbarians will come back to retaliate, Xiao Muqing has already mentioned it to himself just now, but the current strength of Pingyuan County is not enough to set up heavy defenses in the two places at the same time, the border city and Yuanwang Town, of course, the former is more important, the limited forces of Pingyuan County should naturally be concentrated in the border city, as for Yuanwang Town, it can only be abandoned.
After thinking about it, he raised his eyes to look around the crowd and asked, "Where is the mayor?"
The old man who spoke just now stood up tremblingly, arched his hand and said, "My lord, I am Zhongwen, the mayor of Yuanwang Town."
"Oh, it turns out that you are the mayor of the town" Tang Yin nodded and said, "You organize the people in the town, bring everything you can take away, and go to the border city to live temporarily" "Ah" Hearing this, the town mayor Zhongwen was stunned, and the people in the town, as well as the surrounding officers and soldiers, were also stunned.
The Wind Country has issued a ban on relocation, especially on the border, the control of migration is particularly strict, Tang Yin let the people of Yuanwang Town move to the border city to live, although it is only a temporary surname, but it is not in line with the laws of the Wind Country.
"My lord, this is not in line with my gale law" Before he could finish speaking, Tang Yin interrupted: "Life and death are at stake, of course, human life is the most important, as for the law, you can ignore it."
"But" "If there is a problem, I will naturally take responsibility, is there any other way for the town chief" Tang Yin tilted his head and stared at Zhongwen from the corner of his eye.
He had already said so, and Zhongwen had nothing to say, he knelt on the ground again, bowed his head and said, "The villain represents the people of Yuanwang Town, thank you, adult" "The mayor of the town is polite" Tang Yin smiled lightly, and when his eyes turned, all that came into his eyes were the expressions of gratitude from the people, and the originally heavy mood suddenly felt much lighter.
Just when the residents of Yuanwang Town went home to pack up their things and prepare to move to the border city, they went out to chase and defeat the Shangguan brothers and others who had fled the barbarians and returned, and at the same time brought back more than 200 barbarian prisoners.
These captured brutes were like defeated roosters, and many of them were covered with color, drenched in blood, and when they raised their eyes, they were all dejected, listless, and lost their prestige.
Seeing the captives of the barbarians, the people of Yuanwang Town were still a little afraid at first, and they didn't dare to move forward, but they just watched from a distance, but after a short time, I don't know who picked up the small stones first and threw them at the captives, which seemed to be the fuse, and then, hundreds of residents rushed over, picking stones and picking clods of soil, smashing at the barbarian captives, venting the long-term depression and anger in their hearts.
The actions of the people around them are not stopped, and their hatred of the barbarians is not weaker than that of the people of the Wind Country, after all, there are too many wind troops who have died at the hands of the barbarians, including their brothers and comrades-in-arms who fought side by side with them.

The wind army knew that the fate of these captives would definitely be a dead end, and that dying at the hands of the executioners was no different from dying at the hands of the people.
At this time, it was Tang Yin who stood up to stop the people of Yuanwang Town, and he didn't care about the life or death of the barbarian prisoners, but if he brought these prisoners back to the border city or Hengcheng, it would undoubtedly be a great encouragement to the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Pingyuan County.
Worried that the people's emotions were out of control, Tang Yin did not stay much in Yuanwang Town, took the Shangguan brothers, escorted the more than 200 barbarian prisoners, and left Yuanwang Town first, returning to the border city.
The news of their victory over the barbarians in Yuanwang Town has already been transmitted back to the border city, which makes the wind army of Bian Cheng happy, it can be said that since they joined the army, the number of victories against the barbarians is only a handful, although this time it is only a small battle, but it is not easy to exchange a small loss for a stubborn victory.
Of course, Tang Yin's status in the heart of the Feng Army has been promoted again
