Chapter 575 Air Strike
King Fu ordered the army besieging Kyoto City to immediately send troops to support Lindu City.
Then he sent Miao Changfeng to the city to supervise the battle in person, and to strengthen the city defense to the utmost, without allowing any loopholes to appear.
All 10,000 guards in the entire Lindu City were mobilized to defend the city.
In fact, Lin Feng was standing in front of the deep ditch at this time, thinking about how to ensure the safe passage of the baggage.
According to Wei Bao, this deep ditch is very long. If you want to take a detour, not only is the distance far, but the journey will also be very difficult.
Lin Feng squatted on the edge of the ditch, staring at the bottom in a daze.
This was certainly a major decision-making mistake, and he himself is responsible.
At that time, Lin Feng only wanted to get to Lindu City as quickly as possible.
This road is one-third closer than other roads and is naturally the best choice.
But I didn't expect such a situation to happen.
As the absolute leader of the army, if he doesn't say anything himself, no one else will say anything.
Of course, no one dared to say anything.
Lin Feng returned to the car, took out a pen and paper, and began to sketch on it.
Since I can't avoid it, I'll just make a way out. It shouldn't take much longer than the previous plan.
"Let Zhu Jie come over."
Zhu Jie quickly ran to Lin Feng's chariot, stood with his head down, and a look of guilt on his face.
As the head of the engineering battalion, he was very sad that he failed to ensure the smooth passage of the troops.
"No need to be like this. This is not your responsibility. Come and look at the pictures."
Zhu Jie stretched his neck to look at the small kang table in the chariot.
"Look, dig diagonally downwards from here, making the slope as long as possible, and carve out a path along the ditch wall. Then do the same on the other side. Do you understand?"
Zhu Jie thought about it for a moment and his eyes lit up.
"Yes, the general is indeed powerful. I will go gather the troops and start working immediately."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away without waiting for Lin Feng to speak.
Zhao Shuo and Pei Qiyin came over curiously and stared at the drawings for a while.
"Hey, why didn't I think of that?"
Pei Qiyin laughed and said, "If you could think of it, wouldn't you have become the boss?"
"That's right. With my brain, I'm only suitable to be the chief guard."
Pei Qiyin had been with him all day and had become familiar with him, so he teased him.
"If you don't have this status, I'm afraid you won't be able to do anything as a leader."
Zhao Shuo blinked his eyes and actually agreed with it.
"Sister Pei is right. I am just a waste."
Lin Feng waved his hand: "Don't underestimate yourself, you are much better than trash."
Zhao Shuo rolled his eyes: "From what Big Brother said, I'm almost like a loser."
"Gluck cluck..."
His words caused a burst of silver bell-like laughter.
Zhu Jie directed several technical personnel from the engineering battalion to find a suitable point, began to draw lines on the edge of the ditch, and then had the engineers start digging with shovels.
The engineering battalion dispatched 5,000 people this time, and nearly 3,000 civilian laborers.
There is strength in numbers. They took turns digging the soil and the project progressed very quickly.
They first dug a slope down along the edge of the ditch, and then expanded the width of the slope.
Another team of engineers went down the excavated slope to the bottom of the ditch and began digging on the opposite ditch wall.
Seven or eight thousand people worked in two shifts and completed the two slopes of the ditch wall in just half a day and one night.
Everyone was amazed as they watched the numerous supply vehicles slowly moving down the slope to the bottom of the ditch.
These two slopes may seem simple, but they are actually quite difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Pei Qiyin looked at the slope curiously, without moving his eyes for a long time.
"General, how did you come up with this?"
"It's actually very simple. Since the normal roads don't work, you can just use the ramp."
Pei Qiyin shook his head: "This slanted path is not something that ordinary people can walk out of."
"Well, it's a matter of thinking. If you think more, your thoughts will expand. If you gain more knowledge, you will naturally have more ideas."
Seeing Pei Qiyin lost in thought, Lin Feng stopped talking and followed everyone down the slope to the bottom of the ditch.
Although it took half a day to dig the trench, when the large army crossed the deep trench and appeared on the outskirts of the Tianzhi Mountains, it still saved half a day compared to taking a detour.
It can also be regarded as Lin Feng's compensation for his wrong decision.
After another day's march, the troops were only about 180 miles away from Lindu City.
There is a small county town here, under the jurisdiction of Lindu Prefecture, called Kan County.
There were five hundred provincial troops stationed in the county town. Faced with tens of thousands of Zhenxi troops, they were frightened and fled the city.
At this time, the 20,000 troops led by Lin Feng had already joined forces with the heavy armored battalion of Li Donglai, Lin Qiaomei and Chu Jiao.
At the same time, a report from the Rangers was also received.
More than 80,000 Black Turban Army soldiers have set out from Kyoto and are heading towards Lindu.
Lin Feng thought about it and realized that his money was just over 50,000, while the other party's was over 80,000, so the ratio was a bit too large.
Besides, this is an army of 80,000 Black Scarves, a relatively cohesive team that is good at persisting.
Compared with his own war horse, the quick and efficient charging method has a certain restraint factor.
"Let the leaders of each tribe come to me."
After thinking about it, Lin Feng ordered a meeting.
Lin Feng had already drawn the blueprints when he gathered everyone to his chariot.
"The Black Scarf Army has over 80,000 troops and is already on its way. We only have 50,000. We cannot engage in this battle head-on."
As he spoke, he glanced at everyone.
"So, our 50,000 people will be divided into three groups, each setting up a camp about five miles apart. The two camps and Kan County will form a mutually restraining triangle."
Lin Feng pointed at the drawing.
"There are two slopes here. Have the engineering battalion repair them. They're not steep, but they're good for our chariots to charge. This side is flatter, which is good for our cavalry to charge. Now, let's assign the composition of the combat team."
Lin Feng explained all the details clearly and then ordered the leaders of each tribe to take action.
After everyone left, Lin Feng wrote another note and handed it to Wei Bao.
"Give this order to Bai Jing and ask her to act accordingly."
Wei Bao saluted, took the note and turned to leave.
After everyone left, Lin Feng waved to Zhao Shuo to come closer.
"Go back to Tianzhifu City and ask Xi Niang to get you some thunderbolts. Then, activate our flying vehicles and strike hard at the Black Scarf Army from the sky."
When Zhao Shuo heard this, he immediately became excited and nodded vigorously.
"Real thunder! Okay, okay, big brother. I'll go right away."
"Hey, remember the steps and don't embarrass me."
"Don't worry, big brother. How can you not understand my intelligence? I'm just a little bit worse than you..."
Lin Feng raised his hand to interrupt his boasting.
Lin Feng pointed at the map.
"If the 80,000 Black Turban Army arrives, they should set up camp in these areas. Watch carefully."
He raised his hand and pointed at the sky, asking Zhao Shuo to look up at the sky.
"It's best to operate at night, and be mindful of wind direction and weather changes, calculate the flight distance, and then, before taking off, determine the landing point in advance and notify the support team to arrive at the landing point and wait..."
He was like a mother-in-law, giving instructions to her departing son, fearing that Zhao Shuo would mess things up.
