Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 605: Fight with all your strength

The bodies of Black Scarf Society members were scattered everywhere along the way, and they had not been cleaned up yet.

Lin Feng dismounted at the city gate, picked up a few pieces of broken wood with his hands, and examined them carefully.

"Well, the power of this artillery is quite good. Even such a heavy wooden door has been blasted into such a state. Not bad, not bad."

Zhao Shuo also came over and kicked away some broken wood.

"Brother, I'm afraid nothing in the world can stop our artillery."

Lin Feng wiped his hands: "There must be something that can resist, but..."

"Brother, but what?"

"It can only be done by my own hands."

"Hahaha, I really believe this."

Pei Qiyin sighed softly and said, "No one doesn't believe it."

"Okay, I'll stop bragging. Send an order to Wen Cheng to immediately send someone to take over Tongsheng Mansion."

"Yes, brother."

When Prince Fu received the news that Tongsheng Prefecture had been captured by the Zhenxi Army, he immediately frowned.

"What was Lin Feng thinking? He actually went around in circles and attacked Tongsheng Mansion?"

Lan Yu was also puzzled: "Your Highness, if Tongsheng Mansion is taken, our Lindu City will be left with nothing to hide."

"I was just about to ask you, sir, how should I defend myself?"

Lan Yu had a worried look on his face. Facing the fierce attack of the Zhenxi Army, he couldn't win even with an army of 100,000 against 50,000.

No matter how powerful your strategy is, what can it do?

Lan Yu thought it over again and again, then bowed cautiously and spoke to King Fu.

"Your Highness, I still think it's best to evacuate all troops from Kyoto and focus on dealing with the Zhenxi Army."

King Fu's face suddenly wrinkled like a bitter gourd.

I was only half a step away from my dream, but this half step was like a chasm that I couldn't cross no matter how hard I tried.

Seeing that the Zhenxi Army was gradually growing bigger, if he didn't use all his strength, not to mention the throne of Kyoto, he was afraid that his identity as the King of Fu would also be overturned.

"I just can't understand why Lin Feng's single move requires all of us to mobilize and respond with all our might."

Lan Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, this seemingly inappropriate move by Lin Feng has actually stretched the territories of Sanjiang, Shanglin, and Tongsheng prefectures into a line along the river, forming a semi-encirclement of Lindu Prefecture. With the addition of Tianzhi Prefecture and Jingdu City, Lindu is now isolated."

King Fu nodded thoughtfully.

"This is the same way I approached the Royal Guards..."

"Your Highness is absolutely right. Given the current situation, we must respond with all our strength."

Prince Fu finally admitted that the Zhenxi Army was his main opponent and had to adjust his overall plan.

"Order Luo Yunfei to withdraw 100,000 troops to Kuncheng and Zhencheng, two of the eight major citadels in Kyoto. Together with Qiu Jie's camp and Lindu Prefecture City, they will form a four-cornered front and jointly defend the Kyoto Imperial Guards and the Western Guards of Tianzhi and Tongsheng Prefectures."

King Fu's order was immediately conveyed to the two generals Qiu Jie and Luo Yunfei.

The two of them sighed almost at the same time in two different places.

"This is the first time the prince has switched from offense to defense. The world is about to change again..."

The city of Kyoto felt the most profound change in the rebels.

The rebels had already abandoned four of the eight Acropolis cities, and now they have retreated again and abandoned two Acropolis cities.

Grand Tutor Wan no longer remained idle and immediately ordered the 100,000 imperial guards in the city to be stationed in the six citadels.

At present, the rebels have occupied Kuncheng and Zhencheng, two of the eight David Cities.

The Imperial Guards re-stationed Gencheng in the northwest of Kyoto City, Kancheng in the west, Xuncheng in the southwest, Qiancheng in the south, Duicheng in the southeast, and Licheng in the northeast.

This was the first time that the Royal Guards had shown signs of counterattack since the battle against King Fu's rebels.

Although they borrowed the power of the Zhenxi Army, it also made officials and people in the entire Kyoto city excited.

Emperor Zhao Zhen held a grand banquet for his ministers for this occasion.

Zhao Zhen sat on a high golden platform, looking at the smiling faces of the ministers below and hearing the compliments and congratulations.

I was so excited that I almost cried.

For many years, ever since Zhao Zheng rebelled and tried to fight for the throne, Zhao Zhen has hardly been happy.

Especially a few days ago, when the rebels besieged the city, the entire Kyoto city was filled with starving people.

Zhao Zhen's mood fell to the lowest point. He drank to drown his sorrows every day and almost died of drunken dreams.

Zhao Zhen held the wine glass in one hand and muttered to himself.

"Lin Feng, haha, Lin Feng...you are indeed my lucky star. It is worth my repeated rewards. I am very fortunate..."

"Brother, what are you mumbling about?"

A tall young man in a plain white gentleman's shirt, holding a wine glass in his hand, approached the golden platform.

Zhao Zhen turned his head and smiled bitterly.

"Tianyu, why are you still so unruly?"

"What's the matter, brother? Do you dislike your sister?"

"How dare I? I just think that you are already an adult, you can't stay in the palace forever."

"Brother, can't you support your sister?"

"Hey, I can afford ten more, but I'm worried about what outsiders might say. It's time to find a good family for them."

"No, I want my brother to support me."

The person who came was Princess Zhao Tianyu, the younger sister of Emperor Zhao Zhen.

Mr. Yu also appeared at the Jinsan Bookstore, but he was still dressed like an elegant gentleman.

Zhao Zhen couldn't lower his face to his sister. She had been loved by his father since she was a child, and they had a very good relationship.

Zhao Tianyu also made great contributions to Zhao Zhen's ascension to the throne.

Therefore, Zhao Zhen was grateful and took special care of Zhao Tianyu.

Zhao Tianyu touched Zhao Zhen's glass with his own.

"Brother, what happened to what I told you yesterday?"

Zhao Zhen held his forehead with his hand and said, "Tianyu, the situation outside the city is chaotic and chaotic. It's better for you to stay inside the city."

Zhao Tianyu pouted and said, "I just want to meet Lin Feng. It just so happens that he won another victory and took back Tongsheng Mansion for the court. I can go and reward the troops on behalf of the court."

"They're all at war. You'll only cause trouble if you go."

"Brother, I'm going."

Zhao Tianyu grabbed Zhao Zhen's sleeve and pulled it back and forth.

"Hey, hey, hey, in front of all the ministers, how can this be disgraceful..."

"If you promise me, I'll be decent."

"Okay, okay, let me make some plans. There's no rush for this."

"Well, as long as brother agrees."

Zhao Tianyu finally let go of Zhao Zhen's sleeve, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.

The corner of his eye glanced at the ministers below the golden stage.

All the ministers attending the banquet did not pay attention to the scene on the golden stage. They were all busy toasting and congratulating each other.

Zhao Zhen was thinking about going to Tianzhi Mansion to reward the three armies.

Who should be sent?

Prince Rui cannot leave Kyoto, and the security of the entire city depends on him.

The Minister of War Tang Bingqian was old and in poor health, so he naturally could not withstand the fatigue of the journey.

Ma Buxuan, the Minister of War?

The identities are a bit asymmetrical, and I'm afraid Lin Feng will blame the court for not paying attention.

Zhao Zhen pondered for a long time, but he was not good at this matter, so he had to wave to Prime Minister Han Qi to come closer.

"Um, I want to reward Lin Feng, but I don't know who would be a good choice. Do you have any suggestions?"

Han Qi picked up the wine glass, leaned over to listen to the emperor's words, frowning and thinking.

After a moment, he whispered.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Eunuch Zhu should be able to meet your Majesty's wishes..."

"Well, that suits my wishes very well. I approve it."
