Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 691 All-out War

Lin Feng was stunned and smacked his lips.

"Really? I'm a little greedy."

Hongxiao said embarrassedly.

"If you want to learn, Hong Xiao will not be shy about it. It's just that it's hard to tell from the moves that the body is adapting to the changes in the airflow."

Lin Feng was in a good mood and waved his hand.

"Just one sentence from you has given me a sudden enlightenment. Actually, the movements and techniques are not important. The key lies in your last sentence."

Hongxiao was convinced and nodded frequently.

"Your Excellency is indeed gifted, and that is not an exaggeration."

Lin Feng was feeling proud and was about to brag a few words when he heard soldiers running to the door and shouting loudly.

"Report, Commander, there is an urgent report."

Pei Qiyin quickly walked to the door, took the battle report, glanced at it, and turned to hand it to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng discovered that this was a report from Wei Bao's cavalry team.

They saw that the rebels in Jingdong City started to move out from the east gate of the city, made a circle, and headed south.

There are about 30,000 people.

Lin Feng hurriedly finished his meal and quickly came to the sand table of the command center. He compared it with the report in his hand and observed it carefully.

The 30,000 rebels headed south from Jingdong Prefecture, probably heading for Guangping County.

The county seat of Guangping is only about 150 miles away from Duicheng.

Or, their goal was to cross Guangping County and head to Gaocheng County west of Yongning Prefecture.

When the 30,000-strong army entered Gaocheng County, they could attack Duicheng nearby, or if they were a little further away, they could reach the foot of Qiancheng within a day.

After looking at it for a while, Lin Feng let out a breath.

"It seems the rebels intend to avoid the elite Imperial Guards and attack Qian and Dui from the south."

The four staff officers who had hurried back after hearing the news were now gathered in front of the sand table, each frowning and thinking.

"Sir, aren't they afraid that we can mobilize our troops for defense?"

Ju Chaoyue asked in confusion.

Dang Guihong also frowned and said, "The eight great citadels of Kyoto are very convenient for joint defense. They are wasting their troops and doing useless work."

Luo Shidong clapped his hands. "I understand. Just as the commander-in-chief said before, the rebels are stretching the battle line, using their numerical advantage to weaken our defenses."

Lin Feng looked at Luo Shidong with appreciation.

This man is worthy of being the general who leads the Zhennan Border Army and can remain unscathed in such a harsh environment.

"The rebels' intention is clear. They want us to be unable to defend ourselves. If we go around the city, there will always be a weak link."

Wei Ming didn't say anything more, just asked.

"Commander, how should we respond?"

Lin Feng smiled and said, "This is exactly what you guys should think about."

The four people immediately fell into deep thought, each racking their brains for a solution.

At this time, another soldier brought in a battle report.

The rebel army in Lindu City, numbering nearly 30,000, set out from the south gate and marched southwest.

This also confirmed the judgment of Lin Feng and others. The 200,000 imperial guards of Emperor Taisho Zhao Zheng were intended to stretch the battle line and attack the weak points of the large-scale imperial guards.

Lin Feng ordered the defenders of each citadel to immediately go to Kuncheng Command Headquarters for a meeting.

The eight Acropolises and eight defenders arrived at the Kuncheng Command Center within half a day.

After taking a quick look, Lin Feng said in a deep voice.

"The rebels have begun their attack. Their strategy is simple: to use their numerical superiority, stretch out their front, and then attack our weak points."

Lin Feng pointed at the terrain on the sand table with a wooden pole.

“My coping strategy is this…”

The meeting was brief, and everyone quickly grasped the essence of Lin Feng's defensive strategy.

Because the rebels came quickly, Lin Feng didn't say much and waved his hand to let the generals rush back to their defense areas as soon as possible.

Qiu Jie's Black Scarf Army arrived the fastest, and he hated Lin Feng to the core.

At that time, he had a hundred thousand black scarf soldiers, who could compete with Prince Fu's palace army.

However, now only 30,000 people are left after being defeated by Lin Feng.

This was even after recruiting more than 10,000 Black Scarf members, otherwise, he would have been almost left alone.

Lin Feng used deception and fake thunder to shatter the faith of the black scarf soldiers, thus killing many of them.

This made Qiu Jie very sad. These soldiers were like brothers under the Virgin Mary.

This time, the truth about the Zhenxi Army's thunder was revealed, allowing the Black Scarf Army brothers to regain their faith.

No matter what, Lin Feng must pay a heavy price.

The 30,000 Black Scarf Army marched quickly all the way from Jingdong Prefecture and took three days to reach Gaocheng County under Yongning Prefecture.

From here heading northwest, less than 150 miles away is Duicheng.

More than a hundred miles further west is Qiancheng.

The location of Qiancheng is very important. This citadel is only eighty or ninety miles away from the south gate of Kyoto City.

If this city is captured, the entire Kyoto city will tremble.

Qiu Jie's destination for this trip is Qiancheng.

At present, the commander of Qiancheng is General Shao Yihan of the Imperial Guards, and he has 10,000 soldiers.

Shao Yihan is not only skilled in martial arts, but also smart, and is entrusted with an important task by Lin Feng.

The importance of Qiancheng is second only to Kuncheng among the eight major citadels.

As soon as Shao Yihan entered Qiancheng, he sent out cavalry to conduct a detailed investigation around the city.

He also followed Lin Feng's example, carefully surveying every inch of the terrain, making a simple sand table, and engraving the entire terrain in his mind.

Shao Yihan's cavalry were deployed over a hundred miles away, not missing any sign of trouble.

Wei Bao's cavalry has unrivaled reconnaissance capabilities, but is only responsible to Lin Feng. Therefore, if Shao Yihan wants to obtain real-time intelligence, he has to use his own team.

Moreover, Wei Bao's level is much higher than his, and he cannot rely on him.

Thirty thousand Black Turban Army troops entered Gaocheng County, and Shao Yihan immediately received the information.

The defending general of Duicheng was Gong Sanpao, who was closest to Gaocheng and was the first to bear the brunt of the attack.

Gong Sanpao is brave in battle and his martial arts are much better than Shao Yihan.

He is simple-minded and not good at making plans, but he is honest and has strong execution ability. As long as it is Lin Feng's order, he will charge forward without hesitation no matter how many enemy troops are on the opposite side.

This is similar to General Wang Qian.

Shao Yihan sent someone to inform Gong Sanpao to make preparations early and not wait for the rebels to come and attack him. He would then rush out of the city and fight them in a hurry.

When Gong Sanpao was holding a meeting at the Kancheng Command Headquarters, he carefully wrote down Lin Feng's orders on paper.

Gong Sanpao was afraid that he would forget or miss a word and ruin Lin Feng's plan.

If you don’t know how to write a word, use a picture instead.

Therefore, only he can understand his meeting minutes.

When Gong Sanpao received the news that the Black Turban Army was approaching his city, he became nervous.

If he followed his own thinking, and the rebels dared to attack the city, he would just defend directly or go out of the city and fight them head-on, and he wouldn't be nervous at all.

However, this battle had to be carried out according to Lin Feng's plan, and Gong Sanpao felt unsure.

He clenched the note tightly in his hand, glancing at it from time to time, secretly thinking about the steps in his mind.

Kyoto City, the Imperial Palace's Ouchi Study.

Zhao Zhen sat behind the dragon desk, nervously flipping through memorials.

Two hundred thousand rebels once again launched an attack on the capital city of Dazong, which made everyone in the city nervous.

Isn't this history repeating itself?

At that time, Grand Tutor Wan led more than 100,000 imperial guards and 30,000 border troops to launch the defense of Kyoto.

As a result, they almost starved to death.
