Chapter 837: Just a Swarm of Flies
Shi Gu pinched his forehead and looked at He Sujia in confusion.
"Is my intelligence so much lower than others?"
He Sujia had known him for many years and knew that his intelligence was much higher than that of ordinary people. However, Lin Feng was already famous in the world, so he must be not much worse.
The two of them just lacked luck.
"Sir, our luck is a little bad. What should we do next?"
Shi Guku was also confused. The Tiezhen royal family had all fled, and they immediately became rootless drifters, without a country or a home.
Several major cities have become other people's territories, and they can no longer seek refuge there.
Shi Gu pondered for a moment, his eyes fierce.
"Let's go through Yinzhou and into Zhenxi, and we'll crush them and kill them all. I don't believe that luck will always be on the side of the Zhenxi Army."
He Sujia also gritted his teeth: "Yes, kill and burn them in their lair and make them uncomfortable."
Shi Gu sneered bitterly: "A small army can be destroyed, but if it's a large army, we can just run to Xixia and kill them."
No one dared to interrupt. Hearing that their master was gone, some generals lost their minds and felt that they were at the end of their rope. What else could they do?
Shi Guku waved his hand and said, "After resting for half an hour, everyone will turn around, pass Yinzhou, and enter the west of the town."
The generals who gathered around at that time quickly agreed and turned away.
Half an hour later, Shi Guku was about to give the order to pack up and set off.
Unexpectedly, another group of cavalry came running from a distance.
"Report, General, the Zhenxi Army is coming this way from the direction of Tumoter. The distance is 350 miles."
Shi Guku was stunned: "How many troops are there?"
"About 1,500 cavalry, nearly 10,000 engineers, and hundreds of carriages."
He Sujia asked quickly, "Did you see clearly? There are only 1,500 cavalrymen."
"Yes, sir, only fifteen hundred."
Shi Guku and He Sujia looked at each other.
I currently have 6,000 cavalrymen, and there is no possibility that I will lose against the 1,500 Zhenxi Army.
Besides, how much supplies would hundreds of carriages carry?
They must have been good things looted from big cities like Bahrain.
The two of them blushed with excitement and turned to look towards the northwest.
Shi Gu laughed bitterly.
"Okay, okay, okay, this is lucky. It's impossible to always be on the west side of the town."
He Sujia also nodded in agreement: "If we give up the goods that have been delivered to our door, even God will not allow it."
Shi Guku's face straightened: "Come here, pass on my order, everyone assemble and head northwest."
Shi Guku received the battle report from the cavalry, and Lin Feng also received the information from the cavalry.
More than 300 miles away from the city of Barukasi, there was a group of Tiezhen cavalry, numbering about 6,000.
Lin Feng thought that on his way back, he encountered the defeated Tiezhen cavalry.
It should be Shi Guku's troops who retreated from Zhenxi.
The battle report from Wang Qian had already been delivered, and the 30,000 Tiezhen cavalry were defeated.
These six thousand cavalry must be part of them.
Pei Qiyin said nervously, "General, should we take shelter?"
Lin Feng said calmly, "Why are you hiding? They're just a bunch of defeated soldiers. Why panic? Cheng Liang, assemble your troops and prepare to annihilate them."
Cheng Liang agreed loudly and turned to gather the troops.
Lin Feng continued, "Ask them how many bullets they have left. This time, let Tie Zhen War Cavalry have a taste of the shotgun."
Wen Jian took people to count the number of bullets.
Lin Feng waved his hand: "Let the engineering battalion circle the carriages and build a defensive structure, so that they will run into the guns themselves."
Any general would know that one side had 6,000 cavalrymen, while the other side had only 1,500.
If one side doesn't run away, the other side will definitely catch up and fight.
Hundreds of carriages formed a large circle on the grass, and ten thousand engineers sat on the ground in the circle, quietly drinking water and resting.
Lin Feng's 1,500 guards were scattered around the carriage, placing bows and shotguns on the carriage, adjusting the bowstrings, and wiping the guns.
It's more than 300 miles, and with the speed of Tiezhen cavalry, it can be reached in just one day.
The cavalry were exploring the way ahead, while Shi Guku led the cavalry team galloping behind.
He ran in the front, slowing down the cavalry.
You can't go too fast. The battlefield ahead is not a resting place. You have to maintain your physical strength to more effectively annihilate the enemy.
The cavalry kept sending back news.
"Report, the Zhenxi Army has stopped advancing."
"Report, the Zhenxi military carriage circle has become a defensive fortification."
"Report, the Zhenxi Army is resting and waiting."
He Sujia smiled and said, "Sir, why don't they run away?"
Shi Guku was pleased with himself: "Run? Don't you want the engineers and the carriage?"
"Yes, it must be gold, silver, treasures, cloth and other valuables. Who would be willing to throw them away?"
"It's time for you and me to make a fortune. The grassland is vast. With this kind of wealth, we can survive anywhere."
Shi Guku has changed his mind.
He had pledged to die at that time, but now his mind is active again.
With such a large amount of wealth in front of you, who would want to die?
The six thousand cavalrymen galloped until they were more than fifty miles away from the Zhenxi Army's position, then they stopped and dismounted to rest.
It was already dark, and we had to wait until the next morning to launch the attack.
According to Shi Guku's experience, with 6,000 troops against 1,500, even though the Zhenxi Army was capable of fighting, the number disparity was too great. After a few attacks, the Zhenxi Army would surely be defeated.
Even the steady and mature He Sujia believed that there was no suspense in this battle.
Lin Feng was standing in the defensive fortification formed by the carriage circle when he heard the cavalry report that the Tiezhen cavalry were camping and resting fifty miles away.
"This leader is pretty good. He didn't rush in headfirst and seek his own death. He has a good character."
Pei Qiyin smiled and said, "It's rare for a general to praise his opponent."
"Tsk, this is considered an opponent, but just a group of flies."
"I was a bit careless."
Lin Feng waved his hand: "I would like to be cautious, but my strength does not allow it."
His words caused the surrounding generals to burst into laughter.
"Have a good sleep, and tomorrow I'll beat them to a pulp."
Although the words were so casual, the sentries and covert posts everywhere were arranged very tightly.
To prevent Master Tie from sneaking into the camp at night.
However, according to Lin Feng's judgment, Tiezhen cavalry generally would not launch an attack at night, because their night vision ability was extremely poor and their body nutrition was insufficient, causing their eyes to be unable to see clearly in the dark.
Proper defense must still be taken. This is also a formal procedure and no step can be missed.
The sky was still a little dark, and the sound of horse hooves woke up the soldiers in the carriage circle.
The cavalry rushed over on horseback, shouting loudly.
"Report, the Tartar cavalry is charging, the Tartar cavalry is charging..."
As the cavalry horses circled around the carriage circle, they shouted to all the soldiers along the way.
The earth also began to shake slightly.
Not long after, a roaring sound came into his ears. Countless war horses trampled on the grass, like a burst of thunder, bombarding the heart of every soldier.
There are 1,500 guards, each of whom is a carefully selected elite warrior, who is the best in terms of physical fitness and intelligence.
No one was nervous. They bent down beside the carriage in order and listened quietly to the command.
