Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 813 Whoever turns around first loses

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Na Ren, you detach 3,000 cavalry from the Kuro tribe, and have Tao Jinwang detach 2,000 cavalry to defend along our supply line."

Na Ren grinned: "Master, they have 30,000 elite soldiers."

"You don't need to contact them. Just defend Barukasi and Dadur. Don't let them have a stable base."

Na Ren nodded: "That's no problem, leave it to me."

"Go ahead and defend the city before they do."

"It's the master."

Na Ren bowed and left.

Lin Feng turned around and said, "Notify Zhu Jie to clear the supply points and retreat into the city."

After a moment's silence, he said, "Send someone to inform Wang Qian to prepare sufficient manpower in the western border town to guard the border in case of an invasion by 30,000 Tartars."

Someone immediately went to convey the order.

Pei Qiyin asked worriedly, "General, what should we do?"

"Wait."

Pei Qiyin frowned and asked, "What are you waiting for?"

"Once they have a clear direction and goal, we will go and take Kalaqin City."

"Understood, General."

When everyone heard this, they all understood Lin Feng’s arrangements and the series of countermeasures he had taken against Tiezhen’s elite troops.

After Shi Guku led his team towards Tumoter City for a while, he suddenly turned towards Barukasi City.

He wanted to create such a time difference to catch Lin Feng off guard, so that he could capture the city of Barukasi before the Zhenxi Army.

However, he ignored the Zhenxi Army's cavalry detection capabilities. When he turned and changed his direction, the cavalry over there passed the news to Lin Feng.

The Rangers don't care what the Tiezhen troops are doing, they are only responsible for recording and reporting their movements. If you change the route again, turn back.

Similarly, their news would be passed back, saying that the 30,000 cavalry had turned back again.

In order to get ahead of the Zhenxi Army, Shi Guku ordered his horses to gallop forward without sleep.

Follow the route from Tumoter to Barukasi, destroy the supply points of the Zhenxi Army, and then continue forward until you capture the city of Barukasi.

Thirty thousand elite cavalrymen galloped all the way for more than a thousand miles and arrived at the city of Barukasi in just over three days.

At this time, Na Ren had just led his team into the city.

The two sides were only about an hour apart.

The 30,000 exhausted troops surrounded the city of Barukasi.

Na Ren was not idle either. As soon as he entered the city, he immediately ordered all soldiers to go up to the city and defend according to the designated positions.

Everyone knew that Tiezhen cavalry was not good at attacking cities, so although Na Ren's number was small, he was not very panicked.

Facing tens of thousands of cavalrymen densely packed under the city, he calmly commanded his soldiers to carry weapons for defending the city to the top of the city.

Na Ren left three thousand soldiers in the city of Barukasi, and the other two thousand troops passed through the city and continued to head east, heading straight for the city of Dadur.

There were a total of 5,000 soldiers defending the city of Barukasi.

The entire city wall was filled with soldiers, with bows and arrows drawn, staring at the elite Tiezhen troops below the city.

Many people also spontaneously went up to the city, moved stones and logs, burned boiling oil, etc., and worked together to prepare to resist the siege of the Iron Master.

Shi Guku was a little dumbfounded. For the sake of speed, they ran all the way without carrying any siege equipment. They attacked a city with few guards and used their numbers to overwhelm the defending troops.

Unexpectedly, there were quite a few people on the city wall.

Not to mention two thousand, there must be at least more than five thousand people.

He Sujia shook his head: "Master General, they have left behind many people, should we still attack?"

Shi Gu gave him a bitter look and asked, "How are we going to attack? Are you going to lead the charge to climb the city wall?"

"As usual, we would send men across the trench, cut the drawbridge chains, and then break open the city gates, and then rush in with a large force..."

"They are few in number, so this method is feasible. There are too many soldiers guarding the city right now. Even if the four gates are dispersed, they will not be able to take the city in a short time."

"what is it now?"

"Any news about the people monitoring the Zhenxi Army?"

"Yes, they say the Zhenxi Army broke through the city in less than half a day, but we haven't seen any of them leaving the city and heading back. Does that mean Lin Feng isn't planning to pursue us?"

Shi Guku angrily cursed, "What a bunch of idiots! They can't even hold out for half a day! What's the point of the emperor keeping them?"

He Sujia consoled him, "Fortunately, the general manager did not lead his troops there, otherwise we would have been faced with a high city wall."

"It was originally our Gaocheng."

"Master Steward, what should we do now?"

He Sujia was also a little panicked.

Shi Gu pinched his forehead, feeling very anxious.

"Wait a little longer, let's set up camp and rest today and see what the situation is like tomorrow."

Upon receiving the order, the 30,000 cavalry began to retreat three miles and set up camp on the ground.

When they arrived at Barukasi City, Lin Feng of Tumeder City had already ordered that except for two thousand people left to defend the city, the rest of the troops began to gather and march towards Kalaqin City.

Lin Feng estimated that two thousand people were definitely not enough to defend such a large city.

However, he was certain that even if Shi Guku turned back, he would not waste time in this city, and they would go directly to Kalaqin City.

Perhaps, when Shi Guku turned back, the Zhenxi Army had already captured Kalaqin City.

In Kalaqin City, Shiguku only left 5,000 troops.

His strategy was to delay the Zhenxi Army at the Zhenxi border.

However, Lin Feng did not fall for it. He led his troops straight down and pointed his sword at Kalaqin.

Tumoter City is about 1,200 to 1,300 miles away from Kalaqin City.

The Zhenxi Army had a lot of baggage and was moving slowly, so the journey was expected to take five to six days.

This is because the grassland is flat and there are no obstacles such as gullies, allowing heavy carriages to pass smoothly.

Shi Guku could no longer turn back because the distance was too far. Even if he rushed back day and night, there would probably be no good result.

He could even guess that the high walls of Kalaqin City might not be able to hold off the Zhenxi Army for long.

If I rush back, I will be faced with the high walls and deep ditches that were once my own home.

Since there was no turning back, Shi Guku gave the order decisively.

Thirty thousand elite cavalry bypassed the city of Barukasi and headed straight for the city of Dadur.

He firmly believed that if his 30,000 troops entered the Zhenxi border from Dadur City, it would definitely lure Lin Feng's Zhenxi Army back to defend.

He didn't believe that the tens of thousands of troops Lin Feng led when he invaded the Tiezhen border were not the elite troops of Zhenxi.

If they were the elite troops of Zhenxi, it would mean that the troops left behind in Zhenxi were nothing to be feared, and he could allow his own 30,000 cavalry to wreak havoc.

Shi Guku was like a gambler, going all in on the first hand.

If his judgment was wrong, not only would the 30,000 elite troops in front of him be trapped in Zhenxi, but the Tiezhen Imperial City would also be in crisis.

Shi Guku issued an order that when the 30,000 cavalry entered the territory of Zhenxi, the soldiers could burn, kill, loot and do whatever they wanted, and the bigger the disturbance, the better.

The purpose was to make Lin Feng feel bad that his territory was being bullied, and in anger, turn around and come back to deal with them. With 30,000 elite Tiezhen cavalry, at worst they could fight the Zhenxi Army to a draw.

As long as Lin Feng turns back, he will win this bet.

This is Shi Guku's purpose.

Both sides are heading towards each other's hometown, and it depends on who can withstand the pressure.
