Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 733: An irrefutable conspiracy

Prime Minister Han Qi also nodded repeatedly: "I second the proposal."

Ma Buxuan also hurriedly shouted, "I second the motion."

King Rui shook his head and said, "We've learned from the past that Kyoto City was almost taken. Do you want to do it again?"

"The rebels have been defeated by Lin Feng. Regardless of whether they dare to come, with Lindu City under attack, how can they have the time to attack Jingdu City?"

Grand Tutor Wan refuted.

"Grand Master, do you think Lin Feng will go and recapture Lindu City?"

"The memorial is right in front of the emperor, how can it be fake?"

"The imperial court didn't send troops to Lin Feng, so why would he fight back against the rebels?"

Tang Bingqian coughed twice. "Ahem, a minister's duty is to be loyal to His Majesty and to serve the court with all his might. Lin Feng once wrote, 'Reporting Your Majesty's wishes from the Golden Terrace, and supporting Yulong and dying for you.' Excuse me, are these empty words?"

No one responded in the hall, and silence fell for a moment.

Lin Feng's actions have made these people feel anxious and uneasy. The ministers in the court can arrest anyone he wants, and they all want Lin Feng to leave as soon as possible.

However, he cannot be allowed to leave with the Royal Guards.

Emperor Zhao Zhen and his brother Zhao Xun, Prince Rui, both knew what was going on.

This group of ministers in front of them is simply unable to resist the attack of the rebels. If Lin Feng is allowed to leave, there is a high probability that not only the city of Kyoto will be destroyed, but the two brothers will also be destroyed.

King Rui's original intention was to let Lin Feng leave, but on the prerequisite that the Zhenxi Army must remain.

However, King Rui himself knew that this was a bit of a daydream.

Zhao Zhen began to hold his forehead again, feeling extremely sad.

He thought that he should leave here and let these ministers discuss it. Once there is a result, they can report to him.

King Rui also noticed Zhao Zhen's sadness and sighed in his heart.

This emperor is really unreliable.

For a capable minister like Lin Feng, he is also a thorn in the side and disobedient.

All the important officials in the court were helpless.

All kinds of methods have been tried, and there are still several ministers and capable generals who dare to take action and use their brains imprisoned in Kuncheng.

Several people discussed for a long time in Chengde Hall, and finally Prince Rui and Grand Tutor Wan reached an agreement, agreeing that Lin Feng would lead 50,000 imperial guards out of Kyoto, fight back against the rebels, and recapture the city of Lindu.

However, the court sent another minister, Ma Buxuan, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, as the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, and Han Su, the eunuch in the palace, as the supervisor of the Imperial Guards, to accompany the troops on the expedition.

Although everyone knew that this would not have much effect and would not be able to curb Lin Feng, it was still a helpless move.

If Lin Feng was not allowed to go to the battle, everyone would sit in Kyoto and wait for death.

Of course, Lin Feng would definitely not die with them.

Although they allowed Lin Feng to lead the army to war, they were afraid that once the troops were sent out, they would never come back.

After much deliberation, he could only compromise and send a military supervisor and a deputy commander to supervise, hoping to bring the Royal Guards back.

As long as Lin Feng can recapture the city of Lindu, it will be considered a victory for the Dazong Dynasty in its counterattack against the rebels, and it will further expand the victory.

Although the emperor was not very happy, Zhao Zhen felt a little happy when he thought that it could make Zhao Zheng even more unhappy.

The imperial edict stated that Lin Feng was the Recruiting Envoy of Lindu Prefecture, leading 50,000 imperial guards and would set out to fight in ten days.

At the same time, all the imperial guards officers at all levels under Lin Feng were rewarded.

After receiving the order, Kuncheng immediately began to offer sacrifices to heaven, earth and air, slaughtered pigs and sheep, and rewarded the troops.

There was a lot of commotion on the Dazong side, and the Taisho court immediately received the news and became nervous.

Zhao Zheng quickly summoned his ministers and began to discuss countermeasures.

Of course, there was nothing much to discuss. The main thing was to strengthen the defense measures of Lindu City, cheer up, and prepare for a decisive battle with the large army.

Ten days later, Lin Feng ordered 50,000 imperial guards to set out.

Wang Qian was promoted to deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, responsible for the defense of the eight citadels in Kyoto.

Li Donglai of Zhencheng, Lin Qiaomei of Licheng, Chu Jiao of Xuncheng, Xi Niang of Kancheng, Xie Chong of the Firearm Battalion, Zhu Jie of the Engineer Battalion and other generals followed Lin Feng to attack Lindu Prefecture.

Zhang Changyou of Tianzhi Prefecture led 10,000 light cavalry and cooperated with the imperial guards to enter Lindu Prefecture.

At the same time, four warships set out from the Kancheng Shipyard in Kyoto, and sailed along the three prefectures of Jingxi, Sanjiang, and Shanglin, and anchored in front of Tongsheng Prefecture and waited for orders.

The four warships were named Zhenxi 102, 103, 104 and 105 respectively.

Their weapons and equipment are the same, with four cannons on each side, crossbows on the deck, and rackets on the bow. Two of them are modified ships and two are newly built ships.

There are a fixed number of 105 soldiers on each warship.

Lin Feng had already made plans. From the Jinjiang branch of Tongsheng Prefecture, he could go straight to the east of Lindu Prefecture, which was less than five miles away from the prefecture.

According to the map, Lin Feng only needs to ask the engineering battalion to dig about a mile forward, so that the warships can be driven three miles closer to the city of Lindu.

At that time, the cannons on the warships can be used to threaten the city gate defenses of Lindu Prefecture.

Such a battle situation was unimaginable for the rebels.

Of course, if the rebels dared to go out of the city to fight, Lin Feng's cavalry would crush them without mercy.

General Chu Jiao will lead 5,000 heavily armored cavalry to participate in this battle.

The Zhenxi heavily armored cavalry was a team that even the Tatars could not resist back then. These troops, who were formerly part of the Dazongfu Army, could not withstand their fierce attack.

Besides, Lin Feng has a more advanced secret weapon, a shotgun.

Currently, more than 350 rifles have been equipped. When loaded and fired in turns, they can increase the killing on the battlefield to an inhumane level.

There was another army of 5,000 men led by Zhao Shuo, which set out from Gencheng and headed straight for the Tianzhi Mountains east of Tianzhi Prefecture.

Once Lin Feng's order is received, a hot air balloon will be used to launch an aerial attack on the city of Lindu.

In this battle, Lin Feng mobilized water, land and air forces.

Lin Feng felt that there shouldn't be too many variables in this battle.

After arranging various supplies, the various troops left the Acropolis one after another and began to head towards Lindu Prefecture.

In addition to the original four staff officers, this command center also added two senior officials: Military Supervisor Han Su and Deputy Commander Ma Buxuan.

Lin Feng led 15,000 imperial guards from Kuncheng and headed northeast towards Lindu Prefecture.

Li Donglai and Lin Qiaomei each led 15,000 troops and came from Zhencheng and Licheng to Lindu Prefecture in the north.

Chu Jiao brought a battalion of 5,000 heavy armored soldiers and caught up with Lin Feng's troops from Xuncheng.

Zhang Changyou led 10,000 people eastward from Tianzhi Prefecture, heading towards Lindu Prefecture.

The three armies made Luo Yunfei, the commander of the Taisho Imperial Army stationed in Lindu City, very nervous. The whole city was facing a powerful enemy and the atmosphere was very depressing.

Luo Yunfei knew how powerful Lin Feng was. Similarly, in the Taisho Imperial Army, from top to bottom, there was no soldier who did not know who Lin Feng was.

The 30,000 soldiers stationed in the city were in a heavy mood and full of pessimism.

Luo Yunfei was helpless. His subordinates had spread the legendary story of Lin Feng and knew more about it than he did.

There was no way to boost their morale at all.

Facing three enemy forces and 60,000 troops, Luo Yunfei felt that it should not be a big problem for him to defend the city with 30,000 people.

In addition, there are 10,000 troops stationed in Luolin County, less than 200 miles away from Lindu City, who can reinforce Lindu at any time.
