Tomin in The Alien World

Hearing that, Tang Yin laughed out loud, and laughed bitterly. It was hard to imagine that Tang Yin would still be able to smile even though there were only fifteen thousand people left who had fought with a hundred thousand Feiyu Army back then. Qing Yu asked: "Great King, what should we do next?"    

He didn't have any ideas now. Even if he was proficient in military strategies and knew how to lead troops into battle, he still wouldn't be able to do anything with these fifteen thousand soldiers under his command.    

Tang Yin muttered to himself for a moment, then said: "Our Shuangtang County no longer has a foothold. We can only temporarily withdraw our Shuangtang County, and reunite with our Pingyuan Army, Sanshui Army, and Directly Subordinate Army ?" The more he spoke, the more he couldn't speak. By the end, he couldn't even speak.    

Back then, the generals were unanimously opposed to his strategy of splitting up the troops, but he stubbornly insisted on bringing his Feiyu Army to go first. He forced his way into the Shuangtang County and launched a sneak attack on the Xuangu Pass, but in the end, he suffered a crushing defeat and lost countless numbers of troops.    

Of course, Qing Yu could understand the embarrassment he felt in his heart, he was afraid that would go back on his words after he lost his face, "The King is right, our army should immediately withdraw from the Shuangtang County to gather at the General Xiao."    

Tang Yin nodded his head, then looked at Zhang Hong and Wang Dian, waved his hand and said: "Both of you get up, today's loss, is not all your fault, but you two must remember, in the future, you two must make amends for your crimes."    

"Thank you Great King, thank you General!" "Many thanks to the King, many thanks to the General ?" Zhang Hong and Wang Dian thought that they were doomed this time. They didn't expect that the King would save their lives. Thus, they kowtowed to him.    

Tang Yin waved his hand, signalling for the two of them to leave. After Zhang Hong and Wang Dian left, Tang Yin frowned and said: "Since Bu Ying was the one who rushed to the Shuangtang County, then everything that happened to our army was all part of his plan. He should have been able to calculate that our army would be forced to withdraw from the Shuangtang County in the end."    

"So, the King thinks that Bu Ying will set up an ambush on the way out of the Shuangtang County?" Qing Yu was very smart, he understood everything just by thinking about it.    

Tang Yin nodded, and said: "That's very possible. If I were Bu Ying, I would definitely set up an ambush on the road to give the enemy who invades me one final strike! "    

Qing Yu replied. After thinking about it, he felt that the King's concerns were reasonable, so he asked: "Then, what does Your Majesty think?"    

Tang Yin said: "We will avoid the official road and walk on the mountain path."    

Qing Yu could not help but take a deep breath, he subconsciously looked at the soldiers around him and said: "I'm afraid ? The brothers will not be able to hold on! "    

There were many mountains and forests in the Shuangtang County, and the mountain paths were complicated. Some parts of the roads could be considered flat, while some parts of the roads were located in the middle of mountain streams, which were completely unsuitable for the army to advance on.    

How could Tang Yin not know that the mountain road was hard to walk on? However, this was the only way to avoid Chuan Army. He said, "Our army has lost all of its supplies and supplies. We don't have much food left, so we don't have any burdens. It's a good choice to walk on the mountain path."    

Qing Yu thoughtfully nodded his head, he felt that although Tang Yin's plan was somewhat risky, it was at least safer than walking on the official road. He said, "We'll do as the King says. We'll take the mountain path back to Yisu."    

The Feiyu Army that Tang Yin and Qing Yu had used to lead the way had retracted all the remnants of the battle in Bai Pi City. When the two sides combined forces, they stopped beating around the bush and gave up on the official road, quietly moving towards the small mountain gorge.    

The mountain road on the Shuangtang County was strange and dangerous, especially the road carved out from the mountain. On one side was a mountain wall, and on the other was a cliff that was several tens of meters deep. The width of the mountain road wasn't even half a meter, and only one person could pass through at a time.    

Almost every day, Tang Yin would receive a thick stack of casualties. With the passage of time, the originally small number of Feiyu Army soldiers became fewer and fewer.    

The only fortunate thing was that they did not encounter the ambush from the Chuan Army. After Tang Yin and Qing Yu led their armies over Dun-Head Mountain, they would move forward to the territory of Yi Su County. Reaching this point, Tang Yin and Qing Yu finally heaved a sigh of relief.    

Currently, Pingyuan Army, Sanshui Army, and Directly Subordinate Army were all located in Yisu County. They had already advanced to the region of Provincial Capital in the Yisu County, Tongzhou.    

Five days later, the Feiyu Army that Tang Yin and Qing Yu were leading finally reunited with the Main Force of Feng Army that was stationed in the vicinity of Tongzhou.    

His hair was dishevelled, his clothes were torn in many places, and there was even mud on his clothes, making him look like a beggar.    

When Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, Wu Ying and the other generals came out of the camp to see Tang Yin in such a state, they could not help but laugh out loud.    

Under normal circumstances, an army with over seventy percent of their members losing could be cancelled, but now, almost ninety percent of their members losing their Feiyu Army had died. A huge army of a hundred thousand had only managed to return ten thousand people, and most of them were injured as well.    

Xiao Muqing took the lead and walked forward quickly, interfering with the greeting. After that, he looked at Tang Yin with concern and asked in all seriousness: "Is the King injured?"    

"I'm fine." Tang Yin said indifferently. As he spoke, his eyes swept across the various generals' faces.    

"The King has carefully read the final battle report she sent back. I never thought that Bu Ying had already reached the Shuangtang County and even set up a Wild Bull Formation outside of it ?"    

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Tang Yin impatiently waved his hand and interrupted: "There's no need for you to explain how we fought this battle. Right now, you can immediately draw your troops and follow me to attack Xuangu Pass!"    

"This ?" Xiao Muqing secretly grinned, the King just suffered a huge defeat, and finally managed to escape from the Shuangtang County with great difficulty, and now he had to attack again, I'm afraid that he will still lose by a lot!    

Seeing his troubled face, Liang Qi chuckled on the side. The King obviously did not want to come down to the stage, how could he possibly attack Xuangu Pass again!    

He took a step forward and said with his hands cupped in front of his chest: "The King has been working hard all this time and after continuously fighting for so long, I'm afraid his body will not be able to take it anymore, let's first rest for a few days, Xuangu Pass is right there, it's not like he'll run away with long legs, it's not too late to attack after a few days."    

Tang Yin put on a serious look as he thought about it. After pondering for a long time, he nodded his head and said reluctantly: "You are right, so what if, I will rest for two days first. I will fight to the death with Bu Ying's Old Thief!"    

Liang Qi cupped his hands and bowed, then said with a smile: "The King is wise!"    

In the battle of Xuangu Pass, he suffered greatly in the area of Feng Army, causing the loss of an entire Main Regiment s, and the total strength of his Feng Army was also sharply reduced from four hundred thousand to three hundred thousand. So far, Feng Army did not hold the advantage in terms of strength.    

In a situation where they did not have the advantage in numbers and were fighting in a foreign land, if they wanted to move forward and go deeper into the heart of the Chuan Country, it would not be as easy as it was in the beginning.    

Right now, Chuan Country had already recovered from the shock from the sudden invasion of the Feng Army, and both the local army and the Family Army had started to quickly gather, forming a defensive line. In addition, the two hundred thousand Central Army that Bu Ying was leading had also reached the Shuangtang County, putting the local army and the local officials of the Chuan Country at ease.    

What was even more disadvantageous to Feng Army was that as the news of Bu Ying leading his reinforcement had spread, the originally occupied Lei Ze County had begun to experience a large-scale rebellion. Those Chuan Army that had surrendered to the Feng Army had turned their spears around and stabbed towards the back of the Feng Army one after another.    

Amongst them, Stone Door City's rebellion was the most serious one. The surrendered Chuan Army s all turned on their side, and together with the citizens of the city, they completely annihilated the Feng Army s stationed at Stone Door City.    

The stone door was the Provincial Capital of the Thunder Sze Country, and Feng Army had treated this place as their base camp to the south. All of their supplies and rations were stored at the stone door, and the sudden news of the stone door being broken was undoubtedly the heaviest blow to Feng Army.    

After receiving the news that the stone door had been illuminated with light from the Chuan Army, all the generals came over to see Tang Yin, to discuss their own side's plans and plans.    

Inside the Central Army Tent, the experienced Xiao Muqing spoke without thinking: "Great King, now is the time, place, and people are not with us, if we continue fighting, I'm afraid it will be hard to succeed."    

After Tang Yin heard this, his eyebrows immediately twitched, and he asked: "Muqing, what do you mean by saying that? Do you want me to retreat? "    

"Great King, the stone gate is broken. Our army's rations have all been lost, and even the supply lines have been cut. The entire army needs less than half a month's rations. If we continue fighting, I'm afraid ?" it was the same as in the Feiyu Army ? "    

When Xiao Muqing finished speaking, the anger in his heart had reached his head. He slapped the table and bellowed: "Are you afraid?"    

"This lowly general has followed the Great King into the battlefield and fought hundreds of battles. This lowly general has never been afraid of you!" But... The only advantage we have is that we are caught unawares, and that we are unprepared for it. However, the timing is already lost, and there will be no result even if we continue fighting. So, we should withdraw our troops as soon as possible! "    

Tang Yin slowly clenched his fists, his gaze turned and looked at Liang Qi and Qing Yu, and asked: "Are the two of you thinking the same thing?"    

Qing Yu silently nodded his head, and Liang Qi said: "Great King, General Xiao is right, now that our army has lost their fighting chance, let's quickly retreat, and reduce the casualties of our soldiers."    

If it was just Xiao Muqing alone, Tang Yin could still say that he made a wrong judgement, but now that even Liang Qi and Qing Yu agreed to his words, Tang Yin had nothing left to say.    

Like a deflated balloon, he sighed to the sky and said faintly, "If we just withdraw our troops like this, how can we face those soldiers who have spilled their blood all over the battlefield and buried their bones ?"    

Hearing his sigh, Qing Yu's eyes turned red, and tears almost fell from his eyes. Xiao Muqing and Liang Qi looked at each other, and the former spoke in a serious tone: "Great King, the sacrifices of our soldiers are worth it, at least they provided us with the experience of fighting in the Land of the River."
