In truth, it was not like what the lady had said, the third squadron only lacked a single Captain, when they set off, five out of the ten Captains had already died, another two were severely injured, and there were only three left to lead men to battle. If not, even if she wanted to promote Tang Yin, she would not be able to give him such a high position, not to mention that he did not have a noble title.
After a brief conversation with Tang Yin, Wu Yi left hastily. After he left, Tang Yin suddenly remembered that he did not know who the charming lady was, and asked Qiu Zhen who was beside him: "Do you know who that woman is?"
"Women?"
"The one who gave me the title of Captain."
Qiu Zhen blinked his eyes, then looked at Tang Yin as if he was looking at a monster, and said in disbelief: "You … You don't even know those two young misses from Wu Family, do you? "
Tang Yin shrugged his shoulders, showing that he really did not know.
Qiu Zhen sighed: "Just now, the one on the left was the great miss of Wu Family, Wu Mei. The one on the right is the second lady of Wu Family, Wu Ying."
The one on the right turned out to be a woman, too." Since Wu Ying wore a helmet, her hair didn't show, and her face was as cold as ice. From beginning to end, she didn't say a word, so Tang Yin really didn't see that she was a woman.
Qiu Zhen weakly rolled his eyes, then looked to his left and right. Seeing that there was no one around him, he said softly, "Those who smile at you like flowers may not necessarily be gentle, and those that smile as cold as ice may not truly be those who do not know how to empathize with others …"
Tang Yin knew that Qiu Zhen had something to say, but he did not take it to heart. However, the facts very quickly proved that Qiu Zhen was right.
The hundred or so people that Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen had gathered were all received by Wu Mei, and temporarily placed into the third squad, under Tang Yin's command.
That night, when the troops were resting, Wu Yi came to look for Tang Yin, bringing him Army Brand and a military uniform as well as a sword made of fine steel.
After Tang Yin thanked them one by one, he picked up the Army Brand and looked at it, writing on it: Third Legion, Second Order Captain, Tang Yin.
This Miss Wu Mei really did what she said she would do, she really gave him the position of Captain.
Tang Yin did not ignore Qiu Zhen's burning gaze, and conveniently mentioned to Wu Yi the matter of Qiu Zhen becoming his assistant. Wu Yi laughed: "You can decide about this yourself. In an exceptional period of time, everything was simple and there was no need for procedures. "Oh right, the general is looking for you. We have something to discuss, so hurry up and go!"
Tang Yin asked, "Brother Wu, do you know what it is about?"
Wu Yi's expression was dejected as the corners of his mouth twitched. He wanted to speak, but in the end he did not. He only said softly, "I will naturally know if I see the general."
Wu Mei and Wu Ying, the two sisters, were the commanders of the army. It was a pity that only the defeated soldiers were not in the army, and the troops were not in formation. There were no Army Tent to speak of, only a simple clearing that was temporarily covered with a tent, which could be considered Army Tent.
Tang Yin followed Wu Yi into the tent, and saw the two Wu Family Sisters sitting on the ground. There was a map laid in front of them, and around it were several generals.
Sensing that something was amiss, Tang Yin secretly frowned. He walked up and cupped his hands in greeting to the Wu Family sisters.
Seeing Tang Yin, Wu Mei revealed a charming smile, enthusiastically waved at Tang Yin, and then pointed to his side and laughed: "General Tang, come over here." Her tone was very polite. Based on the empire's military system, only generals above the rank of Regiment Commander could be called a general.
Tang Yin did not speak anymore, as he silently walked to the empty ground beside Wu Mei and slowly sat down.
Seeing Tang Yin holding onto the new sword, Wu Mei laughed: "This new sword, does General Tang still have it handy?"
Tang Yin had just received his sword, he had not had the time to use it yet, how could he not have a good grasp over it? Furthermore, his original weapon was a dual blade, so other weapons did not really matter to him, but he could not say it like that.
Wu Mei stared straight at Tang Yin, a pair of charming and soft eyes causing even steel to become soft on the fingers, she said faintly: "This sword is my father's birthday present when I was eighteen years old, I hope General Tang can take it with you."
No matter who heard this, they would feel that it was extremely ambiguous, but Tang Yin was an exception. Since he was young, Tang Yin didn't have family or friends. He was both sensitive and slow to the feelings between people, and never expected that a woman would fall for him.
As the saying goes, if you don't have anything to offer, you should either commit adultery or theft. Giving him a sword without any problems, was it because he had some ulterior motive?! He politely smiled at Wu Mei, and said casually without losing etiquette: "Thank you, General Wu, for your love."
didn't expect that he would only receive such a reply from her. She was truly surprised. Wu Ying, who was beside her, could not help but take a few more glances at Tang Yin. In her impression, her big sister could be considered the 'public enemy of all men', and there were almost no men who could resist her enticement.
Wu Mei flushed red and coughed awkwardly. She then looked down at the map and pointed with her pure white hand and said sternly: "We are here, and Tong Gate is here."
Tang Yin followed her finger and nodded, waiting for her to continue.
Wu Mei frowned, she pointed to the map and said: "I have just obtained accurate information, Ning Country have already set up a checkpoint on the road to Tong Gate, preventing my Feng Country soldiers from escaping back to Tong Gate, there are more than eight thousand of them, which means, if we want to withdraw our Tong Gate, we must rush through this checkpoint, and break through the eight thousand enemies!"
Was it even possible to break through the enemy lines? laughed bitterly to himself, the soldiers that the Wu Family sisters had in their hands were at most five hundred, adding the hundred over soldiers that he had brought along, there were only six hundred of them. No matter how elite the soldiers were, or how powerful their fighting capabilities were, charging against eight thousand enemies with six hundred soldiers was tantamount to seeking death.
He asked, "Is there no other way?"
Wu Mei shook her head and said: "There is a long line of defense for the Ning people, and it has cut off all routes."
Tang Yin muttered: "If that's the case, then this matter will be troublesome."
"It's troublesome, but it's not like there's no other way." Wu Mei looked at Tang Yin, her eyes shining.
Under Wu Mei's fiery gaze, Tang Yin suddenly had the feeling that he had been tricked. He wanted to ask what was going on, but he was smart enough to swallow the question back down his throat without saying a word.
He didn't ask, but Wu Mei took the initiative to speak instead, her red lips slightly opening, she said in a gentle voice: "Although there are a lot of enemies, but the frontlines are too long, and the manpower is scattered. As long as we send a group of elites to actively attack the center of the enemy, then we will definitely attract enemies from both sides and lead them towards the center, at that time, no matter if our main forces attack from the left or right, we will be able to easily break through."
It might be a good idea, but wouldn't this woman be using him as bait to attack the enemy's central zone? Tang Yin had a premonition about what Wu Mei was planning.
Sure enough. Not giving Tang Yin a chance to speak, Wu Mei continued, "General Tang is a talent that I value, and also a dragon among men. The mission of attacking the center of the enemy's hinterland is given to you and your subordinates, I am very confident."
"Pu!" Tang Yin was so stifled that he almost vomited blood. There was no such thing as a white pie in the sky. No wonder this woman wanted him to be her Captain, and gave him a sword, so she wanted him to be her …
