Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 1215 I really don't want to destroy it

It wasn't that the two Taoist priests didn't want to step forward, but they both knew very well that with the strength of Yuquan Temple, it was better to stay put than to step forward.

As a result, the disciples of Yuquan Temple only began to go out and deal with the remaining issues after Lin Feng left.

It was those corpses scattered all over the ground.

Yan Xiaojia remained silent, asking no questions or speaking to anyone. He simply closed his eyes and sat cross-legged beneath the iron cauldron, as if he had already entered a meditative state.

Yufu Mountain returned to its usual tranquility, as if nothing had happened.

Cui Ying has essentially taken control of the garrison in southern Beijing.

As for subsequent military training and consolidation of military power, those are not things that can be accomplished in a short period of time.

Judging from the current situation, her orders can be carried out smoothly, and everything inside and outside the city is under control.

With the assistance of Ye Liangcai and Gong Sanpao, the leaders of the various units smoothly accepted the reorganization of the Zhenxi Army.

The soldiers received their military pay and compensation and were all satisfied.

When Lin Feng returned to Jingnan Prefecture, at least outwardly, there was nothing wrong with him.

The next day, Wen Cheng arrived in Jingnan Prefecture and talked with Lin Feng in a room for a long time.

Then, Zhao Chuanzhi, the prefect of Jingnan, was summoned, and the three of them held another meeting, which lasted for more than half an hour.

Three days later, Zhao Chuanzhi, the prefect of Jingnan, was appointed as the prefect of Jinhao Prefecture, and Wen Cheng temporarily served as the prefect of Jingnan.

Cui Ying was the commander of the garrison in Jingnan Prefecture of the Zhenxi Army, holding the position of General of Chariots and Cavalry, a fourth-rank official.

Gong Sanpao was the deputy commander of the Zhenxi Army stationed in Jingnan Prefecture, holding the position of Commander of the Central Army, a fourth-rank official.

Of the original 6,000 troops stationed in Jingnan Prefecture, after selection, 4,000 were formally incorporated into the Zhenxi Army, and 2,000 soldiers were transferred to the engineering battalion.

As per Lin Feng's request, their restructuring progressed rapidly, with all work to be completed within five days.

The reorganized 4,000-strong Zhenxi Army began its first mission as a formal Zhenxi Army unit.

One thousand men remained to guard the city of Jingnan Prefecture, while three thousand troops set off from the military camp, heading directly to the eastern part of Jingnan Prefecture, at the southern foot of Yufu Mountain.

Lin Feng immediately stood in front of a huge manor and observed the situation inside from a high vantage point.

Unfortunately, the manor is surrounded by dense forests, and unless you climb up Yufu Mountain, you can't see anything inside.

"Go knock on the door and say that the Zhenxi Army garrison in Jingnan Prefecture has come to search for fugitives. If they resist inspection, we will forcibly break down the door."

Lin Feng gave a casual instruction.

Ye Liangcai waved his hand, and a guard rode forward to the manor gate. He dismounted and knocked hard on the door.

Such a commotion had already been reported within the manor.

Upon hearing that several thousand troops had arrived around the manor, Grand Tutor Wan Quan immediately ordered the defenses to be activated.

Wan Quan, the former commander of the Imperial Guard of the Great Zong Dynasty, left the Great Zong Dynasty court with two thousand elite Imperial Guards.

He knew that sooner or later someone would come knocking on his door, and these two thousand men were the foundation for his survival.

Of course, he also knew that relying solely on these people was not enough to secure his position. Relying on his position as Grand Tutor and his high rank and power, he had already established a good relationship with Yuquan Temple.

This is also the main reason why he chose to live in seclusion at the foot of Yufu Mountain.

He directed two thousand manor guards to hold their positions according to the defensive formation he had prepared in advance.

On the other hand, he immediately sent someone through a secret passage to sneak out of the manor and go to Yuquan Temple to report the news and request Yuquan Temple to mediate.

Although Wan Quan was well aware that Lin Feng had a close relationship with Yuquan Temple, he couldn't help but involve them in the mediation; it wasn't a demand for Yuquan Temple to side with him.

Whether in the past or present, he has placed a heavy bet on Yuquan Temple, and naturally, he cannot do without this lifeline at this critical moment.

Wan Quan concluded that Yuquan Temple, out of consideration for their relationship, would not abandon him.

He had already practiced this defense procedure several times.

Just after receiving the news that Lin Feng had come down the mountain alive.

Wan Quan felt extremely bitter; in the vast territory of Dazong, there was no place for him to stand.

He dared not go to Taisho's territory because at that time, he led the Taisho Imperial Guard, which was the main force resisting Taisho's Imperial Guard, and had long since developed a deep hatred for Zhao Zheng.

He absolutely could not go to the territory of the Zhenxi Army. His own son died at the hands of Lin Feng. Back then, when he was in court, he was also a key figure in suppressing Lin Feng. The hatred between them was something that could never be erased, even in death.

In other areas, only coastal pirates remained.

Those pirates aren't even human. Going there would definitely not end well. Not only would I be eaten alive, but it's hard to say whether my family would even survive.

As a former Grand Tutor, I would rather die than bow down and be enslaved by others.

At present, there is no other way but to fight to the death.

After knocking on the door for a long time, there was no response from inside the manor.

Lin Feng frowned as he looked at the tall fence in front of him. Behind the thick logs, there were probably stones piled up. It would be very difficult to break through the gate.

Cui Ying stood on horseback beside Lin Feng, his armor gleaming, his red tassels fluttering in the wind, and his bright red cloak highlighting his flawless face, making him look very dashing.

"Your Highness, why don't we set fire to their fence?"

"This manor is well-built, and I really don't want to ruin it."

"We can't stay stuck here with them."

"Okay, then let's burn it."

Seeing Lin Feng nod in agreement, Cui Ying turned and gave instructions.

"Have the archers prepare fire arrows and burn their fence."

A messenger quickly turned around and ran out to deliver the order.

Just then, countless soldiers suddenly appeared on the palisade, bows drawn and arrows nocked, ready for battle.

The soldier who knocked on the door quickly mounted his horse and rode back to the front of the main force.

The next moment, the heavy manor gate creaked and groaned as it was slowly pulled open.

Inside the manor, countless warhorses stood in neat rows behind the gate, their armor gleaming and their spears bristling.

Ye Liangcai laughed and said, "Oh, so they're going to clash head-on with our Zhenxi Army?"

Cui Ying was a little worried: "Your Highness, our Zhenxi Army hasn't even started training yet."

Lin Feng looked at the orderly array of warhorses within the manor.

"These are the elite troops of the former Grand Imperial Guard, their combat strength is still quite good, but does Wan Quan really have the guts to fight us head-on?"

"Boss, if we raid his house, he might fight to the death."

Ye Liangcai looked excited.

He wasn't afraid of that at all. His two hundred cavalry guards were skilled warriors who had roamed the vast territory of Dazong and were best at charging into battle. They had never been afraid of anyone.

"Boss, let me lead the charge."

Qiao Jushan was a fierce and brave man who was the bravest in the army, and he didn't take these people seriously at all.

Lin Feng shook his head: "Fighting like this will result in heavy losses. These soldiers lack practical combat experience."

Cui Ying frowned as well: "I didn't expect there to be so many cavalrymen in the manor. That old fellow Wan Quan has ulterior motives."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "He knew it was me, so he understood that this battle was inevitable and prepared to send a signal."

Ye Liangcai raised his hand to signal, and the guards beside him immediately raised their shotguns and aimed them at the sky.

Lin Feng had already made arrangements. Before they set off, Zhenxi No. 2 had already gone downstream and arrived at the southern foot of Yufu Mountain, less than five miles away from Wan Quan's manor.

As long as they signal with gunfire, Cao Chuhang will bombard the manor.

Once attacked by artillery, the manor will be thrown into chaos, and the warhorses in front of them will suffer a severe psychological blow.

The two sides are locked in a standoff.
