Chapter 814: No One Left Behind
Chapter 814: No One Left Behind
Thirty thousand elite Tiezhen cavalrymen bypassed Barukasi and Daduer and rushed straight to the western border of the town.
On this side, Lin Feng had already led the Zhenxi Corps to the city of Kalaqin.
Faced with such a tall city wall, the defenders on the city were naturally not nervous. They all leaned their heads to look down and did not think that the Zhenxi Army could capture their city walls.
Lin Feng also looked up.
Judging from the appearance, this city wall is nearly ten feet high. The entire wall is built with huge stones, which is strong and heavy.
Nalan was introducing on the side.
"This majestic city has stood for hundreds of years. It is the last barrier before the Iron True Imperial Court's Bahrain City. There must be a heavy military presence in the city."
Lin Feng asked, "Does the Tiezhen Imperial Court still have soldiers available?"
"There are definitely not many elite soldiers left, but by recruiting young and strong men, we can still gather a force of 10,000 or 20,000."
Lin Feng nodded: "No matter how many teams like this there are, their combat effectiveness is not high. If we want to break this city, we have to rely on my artillery."
Nalan blushed. "I haven't seen you for a few years. Why are you speaking so vulgarly?"
Lin Feng smiled and said, "This is a true man, a true character."
Nalan was speechless.
Pei Qiyin chuckled.
Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "It's too late tonight. Tomorrow morning, have someone bring out the artillery and bomb him."
After saying that, he turned his horse around and ran straight towards the camp that was being built.
The people behind him hurriedly spurred their horses to catch up.
In the Tiezhen Imperial Court, Emperor Wanyan Wufeng urgently summoned several ministers.
He asked anxiously.
"Who can tell me where this Shi Guku went?"
Wanyan Wuji was also unsure. How could Lin Feng come so quickly?
Where are Shi Guku’s 30,000 elite cavalry?
Everyone was even more confused and turned to look at Wanyan Wuji in bewilderment.
He was the one who recommended this person. At that time, he was praised as rare on earth and hard to find in heaven. But now, seeing that Lin Feng's Zhenxi Army was approaching Kalaqin City, he had no news of where his own 30,000 cavalry were.
Wanyan Wuji took a deep breath.
"Don't worry, my royal brother. Shi Guku is both wise and brave. He must be competing with Lin Feng in wits."
"A battle of wits? Fighting Lin Feng all the way to Kalaqin?"
Prime Minister Wusara coughed a few times.
"Your Highness, the Zhenxi Army has already reached Kalaqin in just a few days. If Shi Guku doesn't show up, perhaps the Zhenxi Army will appear at the gates of Balin tomorrow."
Wanyan Wuji glared at him.
It's already like this, you old man should stop adding fuel to the fire.
Wanyan Qingtian was reinstated. He was very low-key on such occasions, but this time he really couldn't help it.
"Your Majesty, you shouldn't have provoked Lin Feng back then. This person simply cannot be treated as a normal human being."
Wanyan Wufeng kept a sullen face but did not scold him.
Wanyan Wuji was unwilling and shouted loudly.
"Who sent people to harass Barukasi? Who wanted to recapture the two cities? Who said it couldn't be done?"
No one spoke. When this suggestion was put forward, everyone agreed and no one raised any objections.
Wendihan said softly, "The main responsibility should be investigated. Whoever spread the news that Lin Feng was dead should be held responsible. This abominable guy deserves death."
Wanyan Wufeng tapped the table with his fingers.
"Don't you think it's useless to discuss this matter?"
Immediately, the hall fell silent.
Indeed, talking about the past is of no help at all in our current predicament.
Just when everyone was feeling embarrassed, a warrior rushed in from outside the hall.
"Report, Your Majesty, there is a report from the front line."
Wanyan Wuji quickly took a few steps forward, snatched the battle report from the warrior, unfolded it and took a look.
He no longer cared about the emperor glaring at him.
"Ah, Shi Guku ran off to the west of the town?"
Everyone immediately stared at him in surprise, waiting for what would happen next.
Unfortunately, there was no further news. Wanyan Wuji looked up blankly, glanced at everyone, and then handed the battle report to Wanyan Wufeng with both hands.
Wusara stroked his beard and pondered for a moment.
"Shi Guku wants to attack Zhenxi and drag Lin Feng back."
"Could it be that Lin Feng didn't receive the report?"
"How can it be."
"Then why doesn't he go back? Doesn't he want Zhenxi anymore?"
"You don't care about Zhenxi, but you want to attack us?"
"How much they hate us."
There was a lot of discussion and noise in the hall.
Wanyan Wufeng knocked on the desk again to quiet the scene.
"Wanyan Wuji, please explain."
Wanyan Wuji had no idea what Shi Guku was thinking. This was the first time he had encountered such a fighting style.
Both sides ignored their own bases and stabbed each other's hearts fiercely.
Is there any more brutal way of fighting than this?
"Well...Shi Guku might want to drag Lin Feng back to Zhenxi and relieve our pressure."
"Is there no one left in the west of the town?"
Wanyan Wuji's eyes rolled.
"Oh right, Lin Feng must have brought the elite troops of the Zhenxi Army with him. Besides, there is a civil war going on in Dazong, and most of the troops are trapped in the Central Plains Prefectures. Therefore, Zhenxi must be empty."
Wendihan asked doubtfully, "Even if Shiguku occupied Zhenxi, what would be the use? Balin City is still under the threat of Linfeng."
Wusara seemed to be thinking, "He wants to take a gamble and see if Lin Feng treats Zhenxi more respectfully than our Tiezhen Imperial Court."
Wanyan Qingtian also nodded and said, "Well, Zhenxi has become an economic powerhouse. Officials are rich and people are strong. Everyone is doing business. Lin Feng should not give up."
Wanyan Wuji clapped his hands and said, "That's right. If Lin Feng doesn't go back, Zhenxi will be destroyed by Shi Guku."
"Yes, even if Lin Feng takes over Kalaqin City, Zhenxi is gone, and he will be in tears."
Everyone was relieved at once and began to praise Shi Guku's strategy.
There was a burst of praise in the Tiezhen Palace.
But at the western border of the town, Shi Guku had a miserable look on his face.
He had just led 30,000 cavalry into Zhenxi when he discovered that Zhenxi troops appeared from both the left and right directions.
The scouts reported that the Zhenxi Army on the left front was about 10,000 strong, 15 miles away.
The team in front of the right is thirteen miles away and has about ten thousand people.
After gazing at Su Jia for a while, he turned to Shi Gu Ku and said.
"Master General, the Zhenxi Army reacted very quickly. Judging from their posture, they are ready to charge us."
The Tiezhen cavalry is best at charging into battle. Both their riding skills and strong physique are much better than those of the Dazong people.
Shi Gu waved his hands in frustration: "Don't be careless. The Zhenxi Army's weapons and equipment are powerful. We need to be cautious."
He Sujia disagreed: "When it comes to horseback archery, who can be better than our Tiezhen cavalry?"
"I'm talking about weapons and equipment!"
Seeing his disdainful expression, Shi Guku raised his voice and scolded him.
Seeing He Sujia lowered his head, he softened his tone.
"The Zhenxi Army is clearly well prepared. Be careful not to step into their trap."
He Sujia was at a loss.
"Sir, shall we fight or not?"
"Are they going to fight us?"
"He's definitely going to fight."
"Then let's not fight. Let's go around to the right and attack the enemy's villages and towns. Notice that what I want is... to kill everyone."
