Frontier Army Warrior

Is Chapter 1159 a suicide?

Many pirates had no choice but to jump into the river, where it was safe and their warhorses wouldn't go into the water.

In the chaos, they fled in all directions, aimlessly.

The three hundred people were instantly torn apart, losing their ability to resist effectively.

As the fire raged on, it alarmed the county town of Guang'an, which was twenty miles away. The pirates on guard duty on the city wall discovered the fire at the dock and immediately reported it.

It was passed down layer by layer to the pirate leader.

Hiding in ambush along the road leading from the county town to the dock, Lin Feng calculated the time and figured the pirates should be leaving the city by now.

Half an hour later, a flurry of footsteps and shouts could be faintly heard in the distance.

The garrison in the city finally arrived.

Lin Feng shook his head, feeling that these pirates were taking too long to react and were very lax in their approach to the war, apparently having grown accustomed to an easy life.

A dark, shadowy figure rushed haphazardly across the official road.

Based on the length of the line, Lin Feng estimated that there should be around four or five hundred people.

After the pirates had all run past, Lin Feng waved his hand and ordered an attack.

In an instant, 150 riders started moving, beginning with small, quick steps and gradually accelerating.

In the darkness, iron hooves shook the earth, whipped up a gust of wind, and charged toward the pirates who were still running on the official road.

While the pirates were still wondering what was going on, their warhorses had already crashed into the crowd.

The soldiers on horseback thrust with spears, slashed with steel swords, and were rammed by their horses. Each horse was like a rampaging chariot, causing the pirates to scream and roll around in agony.

The warhorses charged past the crowd from behind. Those pirates who hadn't even had time to react had no chance of survival. Each cavalryman was like a tiger trampling through a flock of sheep, each one capable of taking on ten.

In such a situation, it would be difficult for the pirates to escape the battlefield. They were surrounded by 150 iron cavalry, who slaughtered them at will, leaving them with no power to resist.

The pirate leader shouted hoarsely, trying to organize a defensive formation, but the pirates, who were dizzy from the fighting, could not hear the leader's shouts at all. They were only concerned with their own survival, and some were rolling on the ground, looking for a slightly lower place to avoid being trampled by the iron hooves of warhorses.

More than 500 pirate soldiers were routed in less than half an hour by 150 Zhenfeng cavalrymen, suffering heavy casualties and fleeing for miles.

The leader who had been shouting loudly among the pirates was shot through the forehead by Lin Feng's arrow. His eyes widened in resentment as he tumbled to the ground in the dust.

The 150 riders fought with great ease, feeling no resistance during the charge. They didn't know if it was because the pirates were too weak or because their own combat abilities had improved too much.

In short, this battle was exhilarating and incredibly satisfying.

The group rushed to the dock, where the pirates had already been killed or fled. The ships on the river were engulfed in flames by the wind, and all of them were burned to ashes.

After gathering all the Zhenfeng Battalion's war cavalry, Lin Feng led all the soldiers and turned back towards Guang'an County.

He wanted to take the county town in one fell swoop.

Guang'an County was on the map Lin Feng carried, and it was located south of Fu Ning Prefecture, only about 230 li away.

Lin Feng intended to use this place as the starting point to break through the pirates' encirclement and give Hu Jincai some breathing room.

The distance is twenty li, and a warhorse can reach the city in just a quarter of an hour.

The pirates inside the city numbered less than two hundred, but they had already raised the drawbridge and tightly closed the city gates.

They knew they had been attacked, but the specifics were still unclear.

In the darkness, it's always safest to take precautions.

Lin Feng and his men immediately stood in front of the moat, looking up at the pirates on the city walls. Some soldiers with torches were looking down at the situation below the city.

"Who will open the city gates and lower the drawbridge?"

This is a small county town with low city walls, flimsy city gates, and even a crooked and rudimentary drawbridge.

Qiao Jushan responded loudly, "Boss, let me go."

"Okay, stay safe."

Upon hearing Lin Feng's agreement, Qiao Jushan immediately took out a rope from the equipment on his warhorse.

The rope had an iron claw attached to the end, which he had somehow acquired and kept in his equipment for future use.

Qiao Jushan stood by the moat, swinging his iron claw, and then threw it out.

The iron claw, with its rope attached, drew an arc in the night sky and landed precisely on the top of the suspension bridge.

Qiao Jushan pulled hard on the rope, his burly body leaping up and swinging to the other side.

The series of movements were so swift and efficient that the soldiers were dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, such a giant creature could make such a leaping motion so light and graceful. What is this person made of?

Suddenly, cheers erupted from the crowd.

Qiao Jushan was pleased with himself. After landing on the other side of the moat, he quickly ran towards the city wall.

The pirates on the city wall couldn't see the situation below at all, let alone determine how many enemy soldiers were below or what they were doing.

Occasionally a few arrows would be shot down, but the soldiers blocked them with their shields.

Qiao Jushan walked around the city wall for a while, then chose a low section of the wall and climbed up with his bare hands.

There were more than twenty pirates gathered on the city wall, looking down at the city below, when suddenly someone jumped out from behind them.

Qiao Jushan drew his steel sword from his back, leaped into the air, and charged towards the pirate group as if he were still riding a warhorse and crashing into the pirate ranks.

With an overwhelming force, it not only knocked over several pirates, but also swung its steel blade, instantly cutting down several more.

Qiao Jushan was the most insightful and fastest-improving practitioner of the cultivation technique. Despite his enormous size, he was no less formidable than these agile pirates.

With each swing, the steel blade, combined with shoulder strikes, elbow thrusts, leg sweeps, and kicks, inflicted great damage on the pirates.

He cut the rope with his steel knife, and the suspension bridge crashed down.

The time was less than a quarter of an hour.

The guards below the city shouted and rushed up the city wall, blocking Qiao Jushan's way from both sides.

Just as the pirates were swarming around them, Qiao Jushan suddenly turned around, smiled at them, and jumped off the city wall.

Although this is a small town with low city walls, the tower is still more than four zhang high. At such a height, an ordinary person who jumps down will either die or be seriously injured.

The pirates were dumbfounded. Were they here to attack the city or to commit suicide?

Qiao Jushan's massive body landed below the city wall. Just before hitting the ground, he suddenly rolled forward to dissipate the force of the fall, got up, turned around, and rushed towards the city gate.

This was a move taught to him by Lin Feng. By utilizing the power of true qi, Qiao Jushan was not afraid of such a height at all.

Almost all the pirates rushed onto the city wall, leaving only two or three soldiers in the city gate. In a short while, Qiao Jushan cut them down and removed the gate bolts.

They forcefully opened the city gate.

The warhorses roared in and surged into the city like a tidal wave.

The pirates on the city wall shouted and ran down the city wall. Their warships had been burned, their docks destroyed, and they had lost the city as well. Going back would probably not end well, so they might as well fight to the death.

It was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. The Zhenfeng Camp's cavalry were all brave and their horsemanship had improved rapidly in several battles. The soldiers were armed with long spears, which were a perfect counter to the pirates' straight swords, and their stabbings were precise.

It was yet another devastating battle.
