Tomin in The Alien World

Shortly after Tang Yin returned to the border city, Qiu Zhen, Bai Yong, Juno and other core military personnel also came one after another. Only Shangguan Yuanji was left in Hengcheng.

Obviously, everyone was very excited about the victory of the battle. After seeing Tang Yin, they all came forward with joy and asked about the details of the battle. However, Tang Yin is not in such a good mood as they are, and his face is a little dignified.

Seeing this, the people were quite at a loss. They didn't understand why he didn't look happy when he clearly defeated the invading barbarian? You know, defeating barbarians on the front battlefield is a great thing!

Looking at the minds of outstanding people, Tang Yin raised her eyebrows and asked, "should we celebrate now?"

"Of course!" Juno was a straight surnamed son. Without even thinking about it, he blurted out, "our army has not won against barbarians for a long time. This victory is very exciting!"

"Yes!" Others echoed.

Tang Yin shook his head and said, "as far as I know, barbarians have always had a strong sense of revenge. This time, they suffered a great loss in Yuanwang town. It must not take long for the weightlifters to fight back. Have you ever thought about how we should resist at that time?"

"This..." as soon as he said this, Juno was speechless, and the excitement on his face was swept away. Instead, he was dignified all over his face. He is the commander of the third Corps in Pingyuan county. Naturally, he knows very well the surname Xi of the barbarians. Of course, he knows that Tang Yin's speculation is not alarmist. Once the barbarians really attack on a large scale, it is very difficult to resist with his current manpower.

The others all took a breath, bowed their heads and meditated.

After a long time, Qiu Zhen asked, "if the barbarians really come back for revenge, how many troops will there be?"

Before Tang Yin spoke, Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong both replied, "since the barbarians have suffered a loss, there will be no less troops to attack again!" "It should be at least 50000 up!"

"So many people!" Qiu Zhen was surprised. At present, Pingyuan county has added two corps and set up five corps, but the manpower is far from 50000. Moreover, more than half of the army are inexperienced recruits, and the combat effectiveness is very low. In addition, there are many defense areas and cities, and the troops are scattered, so it is almost impossible to resist 50000 barbarians.

Bai Yong said positively, "Sir, one of the ten targets of barbarian revenge will be the border city. I suggest that two more regiments be transferred to the border city immediately, and the remaining two regiments guard Hengcheng. As long as we ensure that these two places are not lost, barbarians will not hurt our vitality!"

"Well, general Bai is right!" The crowd nodded in agreement.

Tang Yin pondered for a moment and asked, "general Bai, which two regiments do you think should be transferred to the border city?"

"The fourth and Fifth Corps!" Bai Yong didn't think about it.

"The new Corps?" Qiu Zhen frowned. The fourth and Fifth Corps are recruits that have just been established. They are all recruits. They are dispatched to the most dangerous border cities. Didn't they let more than 10000 soldiers die? He said suspiciously, "is this something wrong?"

Bai Yong sighed, say: "Lord Qiu, this is also a last resort! Although the target of the barbarians is likely to be the border city, we have to prevent the other party from bypassing the border city to sneak attack Hengcheng. Hengcheng is a county seat. The most important thing is not to allow any loss. It is safer to stay behind the two veteran regiments with rich combat experience. In addition, although the fourth and fifth regiments are new regiments, they always have to participate in the war Fight, or it will always be a new Corps, which can't be of great use. This is also a rare opportunity to train troops! " After a pause, he hurriedly added: "of course, I don't mean to be afraid of fighting. If adults think it's safer to arrange the Second Corps in the border town, I have nothing to say!"

As the head of the Second Corps, he proposed to let his Corps stay in Hengcheng. He was also afraid of misunderstanding by others, especially his colleagues in the fourth and Fifth Corps.

Qiu Zhen pondered over his words carefully. Although he thought Bai Yong's words were also reasonable, it was really meaningful to let the two new Corps resist the heavy troops of the enemy. I'm afraid it would be difficult to achieve results, but it was an attempt to increase their own casualties. In Pingyuan County, the Hui troops are too difficult. For our own side, the troops are very valuable. How can we sacrifice in vain?

He shook his head and said to Tang Yin, "Sir, it's not appropriate to transfer the fourth and Fifth Corps to the border city!"

At this time, Tang Yin is also in a dilemma. Bai Yong is right. Hengcheng is the top priority. If Hengcheng is broken, his county guard will be completely defeated. However, if two new Corps are transferred to the border city, when the barbarians return, I don't know how many casualties will be caused. It's a tough choice.

Tang Yin used to be a straightforward and decisive person. When things come, he never hesitates and will make a decision immediately, but now it's different. He is no longer alone. His current decision will affect the life and death of tens of thousands of defenders in Pingyuan County, and even the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in Pingyuan county.

He bit his lip and didn't speak for a long time.

Just then, a bodyguard came running from the outside. When Tang Yin came near, he knelt on one knee and said, "report, sir, the people of Yuanwang town have been outside the city, waiting for resettlement!"

Hearing the speech, Tang Yin returned to his senses. He said to the bodyguard, "it's just up to the border city Lord to arrange this!"

"This..." the bodyguard looked pale.

Zhang Zhou then said, "Sir, there is no lord in the border town!"

"Oh?" Tang Yin was stunned. If it hadn't been for Zhang zhoutiaoming, he would have almost forgotten that he hadn't seen the leader of the border city for so long. "What's going on?" he asked

Zhang Zhou said with a wry smile: "the border city has been attacked many times by barbarians, and the city master has been killed for several consecutive terms. Later, there were no people in the border city, and the city master naturally no longer needed it. Now the border city is no different from a military fortress!"

"So how!" Tang Yin shuddered. Who should be responsible for being bullied into such a dilemma by manbang in such a big wind country and such a big plain county?

He slowly clenched his fist, as if he were talking to the people around him or muttering to himself, and said in a deep voice word by word: "I don't care what Pingyuan county was like before, but during my tenure as the guard of Pingyuan County, I will never allow any city in Pingyuan county to be broken by the enemy!"

He turned to Zhang Zhou and said, "General Zhang, you sent people to settle the people who came here!"

"Yes, my Lord!" Zhang Zhou stood up and turned to walk out.

Tang Yin suddenly remembered something again, reached out and stopped him, and said, "by the way, there was a captain named Xiao MuQing in the original watch array garrison. You bring him to me, now!"

"Xiao MuQing?" Zhang Zhou was stunned. It can be seen that Tang Yin's face was not good, and he didn't dare to ask more questions. He answered and walked out quickly.

He is no stranger to the name Xiao MuQing, because he has a longer military service than him. Unfortunately, he has only worked hard without credit, and has never been promoted.

I don't know why Tang Yin went to find Xiao MuQing, but he honestly found Xiao MuQing according to Tang Yin's meaning and took him forward. At the same time, he arranged several commanders under him to organize officers and soldiers to settle down the people of Yuanwang town who came to take refuge.

As the border town is almost empty and there are many uninhabited houses, it is easy to accommodate thousands of people in Yuanwang town.

Zhang Zhou led Xiao MuQing to meet Tang Yin.

Zhang Zhou, Bai Yong and junuo, the old guards in Pingyuan County, were dismissive of Xiao MuQing. They thought he was cunning and timid, but Tang Yin was very polite to him. When he saw Xiao MuQing coming, he bowed slightly, smiled, waved his hand and said, "Captain Xiao, please sit down!"

"Thank you, my Lord!" Xiao MuQing really didn't expect Tang Yin to find himself. He was flattered. In addition, all the people in the hall were either the head of the army or the deputy head of the army, and he was just a small captain. He didn't fit in with the identity of the people. He sat on his chair like a needle and felt and was careful.

Tang Yin looks at Xiao MuQing again. The latter is not handsome. At best, he is beautiful, medium-sized, not fat or thin. It can be said that he is ordinary, but a pair of eyes are rolling and shining from time to time.

He asked with a smile, "Captain Xiao, do you think the barbarians will come back to revenge for their losses in Yuanwang town this time?"

"Yes, my Lord!" Xiao MuQing straightened up and whispered respectfully.

"The goal is the border town?"

"The possible surname of the border town is the largest!"

"Then you say, if barbarians really attack the border city, how many defenders do you think should be left here?"

I don't understand why Tang Yin asked Xiao MuQing such an important question. Everyone's eyes fell on Xiao MuQing.

After listening to Tang Yin's question, Xiao MuQing's spirit was also shocked. Surprised, he immediately realized that the opportunity for his performance had come. His eyes turned and whispered, "20000 people are enough!"

"What?"

The faces of everyone in the hall changed. Juno leaned forward and shouted in a deep voice, "Xiao MuQing, what are you talking about? This is not where you talk nonsense..."

Tang Yin waved to stop Juno, smiled and asked Xiao MuQing softly, "why do you need only 20000 people?"

Xiao MuQing said: "I guess that the number of barbarians who will attack again will not exceed 60000, but even so, the number of troops is still much more than ours. If we guard the city, even if we reluctantly resist the enemy in the end, the loss will not be small. Instead of being beaten passively, we'd better take the initiative!"

"Isn't it equal to looking for your own death if you take the initiative to meet the barbarians with 20000 troops?" Bai Yong asked calmly.

Xiao MuQing smiled and said, "if we fight hard, of course we don't have an advantage, but if we send an ambush in advance and ambush near the border city, when the barbarians attack the city, they suddenly kill out, cooperate with the brothers in the city, attack inside and outside, be surprised, attack unprepared, enough to disrupt the barbarian camp and defeat it!"

"It's a joke!" Juno brushed his lips and said, "outside the border city, there is a smooth river. Only the mountains and forests in the East can hide ambushes, but the barbarian army has always been cunning and resourceful. It can't be prevented or checked. How can we hide ambushes?"
