Chapter Fifteen
Chapter 15 (This chapter is free)
Until now, Tang Yin still didn't take the so-called military merits too seriously, and he didn't belong to the army in the first place, he just wore the clothes of a dead soldier by chance. He said casually: "Isn't the army counted by the head? That man's head can't be found."
"It doesn't matter, it's the same if you have a military card, and there are so many brothers to testify!" Qiu Zhen handed the general card to Tang Yin with a smile. The latter didn't answer, he just raised his head and said, "I'll put it where you are first." As he spoke, he raised his eyes to look at the others. At this time, more than 30 Fengguo soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, some were gathering their weapons, some were They searched for food and supplies, and some people gathered the surviving Ningguo prisoners together and cut off their necks without mercy...
Qiu Zhen followed Tang Yin's gaze, and said with a smile: "Brother Tang, it seems that we have more helpers, and now we can make up a small team!" Unknowingly, his address to Tang Yin changed again.
Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen were lurking on both sides of the road, intending to snatch the army horses, but after a day's work, they did not snatch the army horses, but gathered several batches of Fengguo stragglers who had fled from defeat. More than a hundred numbers.
With so many people gathered together, there cannot be no military system, Tang Yin ignored it, but Qiu Zhen couldn't ignore it. He divided these more than one hundred soldiers into four small teams, and selected four veterans to be the temporary captains of the four teams. As for the big captain, it naturally fell to Tang Yin, and he himself named himself the deputy captain.
He has been in the army for a long time, but it is a pity that he has always been an ordinary soldier. Now that he has more than one hundred subordinates, he finally tastes the beauty of being an official, and he enjoys this feeling quite a bit.
Seeing that he was so busy, Tang Yin couldn't be happy. The more people there were, the more uncomfortable it was for him who was already used to being alone. A big burden that cannot be shaken off.
Now that Fengguo has been defeated, the Hedong area is the territory of Ningguo. They are here, it can be said that there are dangers everywhere, and they may encounter Ningguo's main army at any time. With their hundred or so people, I am afraid that it is not enough to give people a tooth.
Tang Yin recalled the scene when he was trapped in the valley. The tragic and cruel scene was still fresh in his memory. In front of the neat army, his life was as fragile as dry grass. Legion battles.
At this time, seeing Qiu Zhen having a quick conversation with the four temporarily selected team leaders, Tang Yin stepped forward, pulled Qiu Zhen aside, and asked in a low voice: "Shall we go back to Tongmen?"
Qiu Zhen said: "Of course."
Tang Yin said: "But you have gathered so many people, where can we find so many horses?"
Qiu Zhen scratched his hair, and said innocently: "That's right, but we can't do nothing but leave them alone, right?! Now we can only take one step at a time and walk back to Tongmen. See Can you find an opportunity on the way.”
He said reluctantly, but Tang Yin really couldn't see that he was reluctant, on the contrary he never tired of it.
Sighing secretly, shaking his head helplessly, Tang Yin said: "It's up to you!" After speaking, he wanted to walk away, Qiu Zhen quickly grabbed his sleeve, and said with a smile: "The captains of the four teams have already You have been selected, you should get to know them first!"
Tang Yin was pulled by Qiu Zhen and walked up to the four team leaders.
The four are Zhang Bao, Zhong Zhen, Yu Hua, and Li Yu. Tang Yin was fairly familiar with Zhang Bao, but he was very unfamiliar with the other three. However, the three of Zhong Zhen, like Zhang Bao, treated Tang Yin with respect and respect. The three of them had long heard that Tang Yin killed an enemy commander with his own strength, and they were heartbroken and admired.
"Brother Tang!" Seeing Tang Yin approaching, the four of them bent down to salute.
They were so polite, Tang Yin was a little uncomfortable, the corners of his mouth twitched, showing a smile, and nodded to the four of them.
"I really can't tell, Big Brother Tang is a master of Lingwu!" Zhong Zhen said straightforwardly.
Looking at the appearance alone, Tang Yin is no different from ordinary people, wearing the clothes of ordinary soldiers, with a handsome and smiling face, it just looks like a smile, but when he gets close, he gives people a cold feeling.
"Of course, you can't go wrong with Big Brother Tang." Tang Yin was taciturn, but with Qiu Zhen around, he would never stand in the cold. He took the conversation and continued: "Let's rest for one night and leave tomorrow morning for Tongmen. Do you have any objections?"
"No opinion!" Zhang Bao and the others nodded in unison.
Qiu Zhen said again: "Then the task of guarding tonight will be handed over to Brother Zhang, and you will be responsible for arranging the guards."
Zhang Bao straightened his face and said simply: "Yes!"
Qiu Zhen said to Zhong Zhen again: "Brother Zhong took his brothers to collect food and water. The more the better, the road to Tongmen is dangerous. I don't know what will happen during the period, so make more preparations."
"No problem, leave this matter to me!" Zhong Zhen replied.
Tang Yin sat at the side, watching and nodding secretly, don't look at Qiu Zhen's glib tongue, but he is still orderly and considerate in handling things, even in the world he was in before, he can be regarded as a rare talent.
He raised his head and looked up at the night sky. The sky was gray and gloomy. He said softly: "Everyone, rest early, I'm afraid the road will be difficult tomorrow."
Zhong Zhen asked curiously, "How?"
Tang Yin said calmly: "It will rain tomorrow."
As Tang Yin said, in the early morning of the next day, not long after everyone left, the sky began to drizzle.
This kind of drizzle is much more annoying than showers. It is sparse and non-stop. I don't know when it will fall. The sky is covered with dark clouds, like a huge boulder pressing on people's hearts, making people feel indescribably oppressive.
When it was close to noon, the road became more and more muddy, and everyone's speed also slowed down. Walking in the rain is labor-intensive and slow. It can be said that it is thankless, but everyone dare not stop. They are in a dangerous situation, and every second of delay is more dangerous.
The rain tended to get heavier, and everyone left hungry and tired.
Hearing Qiu Zhen beside him panting again and again, Tang Yin turned his head and asked, "Tired?"
How can you not be tired? Looking at Tang Yin, who was not flushed and out of breath, Qiu Zhen simply suspected that he was not a human but a monster. After walking for a whole morning, there was no sign of fatigue on his face. He sighed bitterly and said, "Brother Tang, not only me, but the brothers are also exhausted!"
Tang Yin turned his head to look, isn't it? All the soldiers were listless, with their heads lowered, and their legs moving mechanically.
In Tang Yin's world, no one would care about him, and he would not take the initiative to care about others. If Qiu Zhen hadn't reminded him, he really wouldn't have noticed that the soldiers were already exhausted.
Tang Yin stopped in his tracks, raised his arms at the same time, turned his head and shouted loudly: "Stop! Rest on the spot."
"What I'm waiting for is your words." As soon as Tang Yin finished speaking, Qiu Zhen couldn't care about anything else. He sat down on the side of the road, took out the water bag, and took a big gulp. After taking a deep breath and feeling more comfortable, he said, "We should have traveled thirty or forty miles this morning, right?"
Tang Yin glanced at him, not knowing how Qiu Zhen calculated it, he said with certainty: "Twenty miles at most, at this speed, let alone three days, even ten days, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Tongmen."
"Ah!" Qiu Zhen clasped his hands behind his head, leaned back, lay on the ground, looked at the misty sky, and said with a smile: "If the sky is not beautiful, I can't help it, but after all, let's move forward." It's slow, and Ningren won't go anywhere fast, everyone is mutual!"
Tang Yin was noncommittal, took out a piece of rabbit meat, chewed and ate it slowly.
Because there are no seasonings, the rabbit meat is not delicious, it has a strange smell, and it is difficult to swallow, but Tang Yin is not picky about food, as long as he can fill his stomach, he can eat it even if it is a pile of dry grass.
After taking two bites, Tang Yin suddenly remembered something, and waved to Zhang Bao who was not far away. Seeing this, the latter hurried over and asked respectfully, "Brother Tang, what's the matter?" This was the first time Tang Yin took the initiative Looking for him, Zhang Bao seemed cautious when speaking.
"Find some brothers to go out to guard and ensure safety within one mile."
Zhang Bao was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and was about to leave when Tang Yin called him back and said, "From now on, as long as you stop for more than five minutes, you will immediately send out brothers to guard and make sure that there will be no sudden appearance within at least one mile." enemy."
"Ming...understood!" That's what he said, but Zhang Bao didn't leave, looking at Tang Yin in embarrassment.
Tang Yin asked back: "Is there anything else?"
