Until now, Tang Yin still did not place too much importance on military merits. Moreover, he did not belong to the army to begin with, and had only accidentally worn the clothes of a dead soldier. He casually said, "Isn't the army calculated by the number of people? We can't find that person's head. "
"It's alright, it's the same with Army Brand. Furthermore, there are so many brothers who are testifying!" Qiu Zhen laughed as he handed the Army Brand over to Tang Yin. The latter didn't receive it, only raising her head and saying, "I'll leave it at your place for now." While he was speaking, he raised his eyes to look at the others. At this time, the thirty odd Feng Country soldiers were sweeping the battlefield, some were gathering their weapons, some were rummaging for food, some were rummaging for supplies, and there were even people who had gathered the remaining captives of Ning Country together.
Qiu Zhen followed Tang Yin's gaze and said smilingly: "Big Brother Tang, looks like we have increased in number of helpers again. We should be able to gather a small group of people now!" Unknowingly, he had changed his way of addressing Tang Yin.
Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen hid on the two sides of the road, they were planning to snatch the horses and the army, but after a day, they failed to snatch the horses, and instead gathered a few batches of fleeing Feng Country soldiers, and at night, they had gathered more than a hundred men.
With so many people gathered together, there was no way that there would be no military system. Tang Yin ignored them, but he could not ignore them. He divided these hundred odd soldiers into four squads, and chose another four veterans to be the temporary leaders of the four squads. As for the commander, he naturally fell to Tang Yin, while he himself named himself as the vice-captain.
He had been in the army for a long time, but unfortunately, he had always been an ordinary soldier. Now that he had more than 100 subordinates, he finally had a taste of being an official.
Seeing that he was extremely busy, Tang Yin was not happy at all. The more people there were, the more unaccustomed he was to being alone, and unlike Qiu Zhen, who was happy, he only felt that he was carrying a heavy burden on his back that he cannot let go of.
Right now, their Feng Country had been defeated and was the other party's domain. Here, it could be said that danger lurks around, and they could come across Main Regiment's Ning Country at any time. With their hundred or so people, it might not even be enough to force their way through their teeth.
Tang Yin recalled the scene of him being trapped in the valley, the tragic and cruel scene was still fresh in his mind. In front of the entire army, life was as fragile as withered grass, and no matter how high his cultivation was, it was impossible for him to fight against the army.
At this time, seeing that Qiu Zhen was talking very quickly with the four temporarily selected Junior Captain, Tang Yin walked forward, pulled Qiu Zhen to the side and asked in a low voice: "Do we still need to return to Tong Gate?"
Qiu Zhen replied, "Of course."
Tang Yin said: "But you have gathered so many people, where can we go to find so many horses?"
Qiu Zhen scratched his head and innocently said: "You're right, but we can't possibly just leave them be, right?! Now, we can only take it one step at a time and walk back to the Tong Gate s, and see if we can find a chance while we're on the way. "
Although he said it with difficulty, Tang Yin could not see that he was doing it, and was actually not tired of it.
Tang Yin sighed and shook his head, then said: "Up to you!" As he spoke, he wanted to leave. Qiu Zhen promptly pulled on his sleeves and smiled: "The four team captains have all been selected. You should first know them!"
Tang Yin was pulled by Qiu Zhen as he walked in front of the four Junior Captain s.
The four were Zhang Bao, Zhong Zhen, Yu Hua and Li Yu. Tang Yin could be considered to be familiar with Zhang Bao, but he was very unfamiliar with the other three. However, Zhong Zhen and the other two were the same as Zhang Bao, so it could be said that they had to be respectful to Tang Yin.
"Big Brother Tang!" Seeing Tang Yin coming over, the four of them bent down to greet him.
Since they were being so courteous, Tang Yin was not used to it. He twitched his mouth and revealed a smile, nodding to the four of them.
"I really can't tell, Big Brother Tang is a Spiritual Martial Expert!" Zhong Zhen was a straightforward person.
Looking at its appearance, Tang Yin looked no different from an ordinary person. He was dressed in the clothes of an ordinary soldier, his handsome face had a smile, and he was only smiling like an elephant.
"That's for sure. It's not wrong to follow Big Brother Tang." Tang Yin was taciturn, but as long as Qiu Zhen was present, the atmosphere would never turn cold. He took over the conversation and continued, "We will rest for the night, and then we will leave early in the morning to head towards the Tong Gate. Does anyone have any objections?"
"No objections!" Zhang Bao and the other three nodded in agreement.
Qiu Zhen continued: Then I'll leave the task of warning to brother Zhang, you will be responsible for arranging people to stand guard.
Zhang Bao's expression turned serious, and said straightforwardly: "Yes!"
Qiu Zhen then said to Zhong Zhen, "Brother Zhong, bring your brothers to gather food and water, the more the better. We'll head to Tong Gate, and there will be a dangerous journey.
"No problem, leave it to me!" Zhong Zhen replied.
Tang Yin sat at the side, watching while secretly nodding his head. Although Qiu Zhen was glib tongued, he was still able to handle things in a neat and orderly manner, with everything that he needed. Even in the world that he lived in before, he could be considered a rare talent.
He raised his head and looked up into the night sky. The sky was gray and dull. He softly said, "Everyone should rest early. I'm afraid that tomorrow's journey will be difficult."
Zhong Zhen curiously asked, "What do you mean?"
Tang Yin said indifferently: "There's rain tomorrow."
Just as Tang Yin had said, in the early morning of the next day, not long after everyone had left, the sky began to fill with drizzling rain.
This type of drizzle was much more annoying than a shower. It was extremely sparse, and no one knew how long it would last. The sky was covered densely in dark clouds, and it was like a huge boulder was pressing down on one's heart.
When it was close to noon, the road became more and more muddy, and everyone's speed slowed down. Walking in the rain was slow and exhausting. It could be said that it was extremely tiring, but no one dared to stop and rest. They were in a dangerous situation, and the longer they were delayed, the more dangerous it became.
The rain was getting heavier, and everyone was tired and hungry.
Hearing Qiu Zhen panting beside him, Tang Yin turned and asked, "Are you tired?"
How could he not be tired? Looking at Tang Yin who was not red in the face nor breathless, Qiu Zhen suspected that he was a monster instead. He had been hurrying for the whole morning, but he did not even show the slightest sign of tiredness on his face. He bitterly sighed, and said: "Big Brother Tang, not only me, our brothers are also exhausted!"
Tang Yin turned his head to look. It was true, the soldiers were all listless and had lowered their heads, moving their legs mechanically.
In Tang Yin's world, no one would care about him, and he wouldn't even take the initiative to care about others. If not for Qiu Zhen's reminder, he really wouldn't have discovered that the soldiers were exhausted.
Tang Yin stopped in his tracks, raised his arm, and turned his head as he shouted out: "Stop! "Rest here."
"That's what I was waiting for." The moment Tang Yin's voice fell, Qiu Zhen already did not care about anything else, as he sat down on the side of the road, took out his water bag, and gulped down a large mouthful of water. After taking in a deep breath, he felt a bit more comfortable and said, "We should be able to travel thirty to forty li this morning, right?"
Tang Yin shot a glance at him, but he didn't know how Qiu Zhen calculated it. He said with certainty: "At most twenty kilometers, at this speed, let alone three days, even if I walked for ten days, I probably wouldn't even reach Tong Gate."
"Ai!" Both of Qiu Zhen's hands touched the back of his head, his body leaning backwards to lie on the ground, looking at the misty sky, he laughed: "If the sky does not make it beautiful, I have no choice, but to say this, we are moving slowly, and even if we are not fast enough, we are both in the same boat!"
Tang Yin was noncommittal. He took out a piece of rabbit meat and started to eat it slowly.
Since there was no seasoning, the rabbit meat was not tasty, and had a strange, sour taste, making it hard to swallow. However, Tang Yin was not picky with his food, as long as he could fill his stomach, he would be able to eat it even if it was a pile of dried grass.
After eating two bites, Tang Yin suddenly thought of something, and waved to Zhang Bao who was not too far away, the latter seeing the situation, anxiously ran over and asked respectfully: "Big Brother Tang, what's the matter?" This was the first time Tang Yin took the initiative to look for him.
"Find some brothers to stand guard and ensure the safety within a mile."
Zhang Bao was startled at first, but nodded his head. Just as he was about to leave, Tang Yin called him back, and said: In the future, if you stop for more than five minutes, immediately send out your warning brothers, to ensure that no enemies appear within a mile's radius.
"Ming..." "Understood!" Although he said that, Zhang Bao did not leave, and looked at Tang Yin with difficulty.
Tang Yin replied with a question: "Anything else?"
