Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 511 This City is Not Easy to Break

On the chaotic battlefield, only thousands of engineers were busy cleaning up the spoils and counting the casualties.

Although the battle was difficult, the casualties among the soldiers were not great.

Less than five hundred soldiers were killed, but more than two thousand war horses were destroyed.

Eleven tanks were seriously damaged.

The weapons were also severely damaged, and most of the steel knives had their blades bent.

Countless horse lances were broken.

However, the results of the battle were brilliant.

After this battle, the rebels left behind more than 38,000 corpses, and the battle losses exceeded one-third.

Lin Feng did not enter the battlefield, but just watched from the top of the slope.

He felt that if the rebels turned around and attacked back at this time, his Zhenxi Army would have no choice but to flee.

It was already dark, and the generals at all levels began to reorganize their troops, pack up their equipment and lead them back to camp.

The Zhenxi Army was temporarily unable to advance, and Lin Feng was pondering whether he should capture Tianzhi City and enter the city to replenish supplies.

Staying in this temporary camp would be dangerous if we were surrounded by rebels and only had a few mines left.

It’s not that we’re worried about not being able to break through, but that we’re worried about suffering too much casualties.

However, Tianzhi Prefecture is located near mountains and rivers, with high walls and deep water, and it was unknown how to break the city as quickly as possible.

Lin Feng immediately ordered Wei Bao's intelligence camp to begin a detailed investigation of Tianzhi Prefecture City.

Su Zhongwang and Niu Xiangqian retreated all the way until they had retreated more than a hundred miles, then they gradually gathered their remaining troops and set up camp.

We didn't set up a proper camp because it was too dark to see anything.

They could only set up an underground camp, send out patrols around it, and set up several sentries, both visible and hidden.

The two of them came together again, staring at each other.

Because they were in a hurry to get on with their journey, they did not discuss the reasons for the defeat in detail.

Niu Xiangqian looked constipated.

"General Su, how did we lose?"

Su Zhongwang murmured, "The thunder, the thunder is actually real. Lin Feng drew the thunder and blew the generals and soldiers into pieces..."

"No way, we have the Virgin Mary's blessing, how could God send down thunder?"

"Holy Mother? Who of them has greater magical power?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Nothing is more powerful than the Virgin Mary. Lin Feng is using some evil methods."

Niu Xiangqian said firmly.

"Evil ways?"

"Yes, it's definitely a crooked trick. I saw something black flying into our team."

Su Zhongwang recalled carefully and seemed to have seen something flying towards him.

But, didn’t those arrows flying all over the sky also fly into the team?

"Stop thinking about it and think about what we should do."

Niu Xiangqian saw that Su Zhongwang looked confused and not very clear-headed.

"Oh, how's the damage?"

"The loss was over 30,000."

“Hiss…”

Su Zhongwang was an old soldier and knew how heavy the casualties in such a battle were.

The huge disparity in the battle ratio between 100,000 and 30,000 had dealt a heavy blow to his own team.

"Lin Feng is truly strange. I heard that the Tartars were completely routed by him."

"Don't be sad. The Black Scarf Army lost nearly 30,000 soldiers, and you have less than 9,000."

Niu Xiangqian said unhappily.

"Hey, we are all under the command of King Fu, so what's the difference? But Lin Feng is so powerful, what should we do next?"

Niu Xiangqian shook his head: "It's no use talking about this now. We can't go back in such disgrace. We have to continue the battle."

Seeing that people's expectations were still low, he made a suggestion.

"Otherwise, call back tomorrow?"

"I'm afraid that's not possible. The army's morale is a bit low, and we need to rebuild their confidence."

Niu Xiangqian waved his hand and said, "That's easy. Tomorrow we'll move a statue of the Virgin Mary, and everyone can recite scriptures for a day. I guarantee you'll be full of energy."

Su Zhongwang smiled bitterly and said, "It's fine for you to do this, but what about us?"

"We've asked you to join the order and worship the Virgin Mary for a long time, but you always make excuses."

Su Zhongwang lowered his head and said nothing.

How could he believe this Virgin Mary when he saw these black-turbaned soldiers acting like lunatics?

Everyday behavior looks awkward.

When the battle breaks out, charge forward recklessly.

Of course, it’s not that it’s bad for soldiers to fight at the risk of their lives, but I’m afraid that if I believe in this thing, I will become like this.

Su Zhongwang was frightened at the thought and shuddered.

"No, no, no, I still need to think of a way to boost their morale. We must defeat the Zhenxi Army as soon as possible."

Niu Xiangqian waved his hand dismissively: "Whatever you want, just don't take too long."

The camp where the Zhenxi Army was stationed was more than 150 miles away from Tianzhi Prefecture.

Wei Bao's cavalry would report back from time to time on their investigation of Tianzhi City.

Wei Bao was afraid that Lin Feng and others would get anxious, so he ordered all the cavalry teams to report immediately if they had any new discoveries.

Various intelligence data of Tianzhi City were also sent to Lin Feng one after another.

Lin Feng studied it for a long time but found no difference between this city and other cities.

The only thing is that Tianzhi City is built on the mountain, and the moat is wide and deep.

It is the spring water from Tianzhi Mountain that flows into the moat, forming a deep and wide river.

There are 5,000 government troops stationed in the city, and the Zhenxi Army is nearby. The gates of Tianzhi City are closed and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

The rebel army led by King Fu was also stationed near Tianzhi City, making it very difficult to capture the city.

Although the garrisoned government troops had little combat effectiveness, they were able to withstand the attacks of the Zhenxi Army thanks to their high city walls and wide rivers.

Lin Feng frowned.

If we cannot capture Tianzhi City, the barracks alone will not be able to stop the 60,000 to 70,000 rebels.

The heavenly thunder in his hand is gone, and a large amount of raw materials is needed, and it will take time to make it.

These conditions cannot be achieved in a camp in the wild.

The more pressing issue is that the severely damaged tanks need to be repaired, and the damaged steel armor of the heavy armored battalion also needs tools and facilities to repair.

These conditions are only available in Tianzhi City.

Not to mention the large number of damaged steel swords, spears and lances, as well as the large number of feather arrows and crossbow arrows that were damaged to varying degrees.

When Lin Feng thought about this, his head started to hurt.

There is no movement in the rebel camp for the time being, but that does not mean they will confront the Zhenxi Army for a long time.

Lindu City is less than 800 miles away, and their leader, King Fu Zhao Zheng, lives in Lindu City.

How can I let others sleep peacefully beside my bed?

Therefore, the rebels will not be quiet for long and will have to attack again.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Feng stood up and took Hu Jincai, Li Donglai and Lin Qiaomei, along with five hundred guards, and went to the outside of Tianzhi City in person.

They circled Tianzhi City outside the moat.

Indeed, this city is different from other cities. The water in the moat is not only deep and wide, but also flowing.

The mountain spring continuously flows into the river, circles the city, and then flows into the river outside the city from the southwest.

Because there were troops surrounding the city, the soldiers on the city became nervous. A large number of soldiers stood on the city wall with guns and moved slowly following Lin Feng's team.

Hu Jincai looked at the soldiers crowded on the city wall.

"Boss, this city is not easy to conquer."

Li Donglai also nodded in agreement: "Yes, once we attack the city, the Fu Wang rebels will come to support immediately. There is simply not enough time."

Lin Qiaomei disagreed: "Look, the soldiers on the city wall are all scum, they have no fighting power at all."

Hu Jincai shook his head: "In the wilderness they are scum, but on the city walls, they will make you sad."
