Chapter 171: Don’t waste the chapter, just start fighting
This time, Lin Feng's looting of the Tatar camp really hurt them.
Yinjia Bilan immediately stood in front of the castle, looked at the tall city tower and the half-built city wall, and nodded slightly.
This time, General Wanyan made the right decision.
If we let Lin Feng go on like this, he will definitely become bigger and stronger, and the situation will become uncontrollable.
"Go, each bronze armored person, lead your team and circle the city to find a campsite."
He wanted to surround the castle first and then find a way to break it.
Zhou Tongzhi and Chen Tongpan came to Lin Feng and looked at the huge Tartar army with concern.
"General Lin, have you sent anyone for help?"
"I wonder if the request for help you two gentlemen are referring to is from the Lord Commander?"
Zhou Tongzhi frowned and said, "It's nearby. The border army camp and the border city government troops have nearly 100,000 troops."
Lin Feng was too lazy to explain to them, so he nodded.
"We've sent people wherever we can get help."
"That's good."
Both men breathed a sigh of relief.
After Yinjia Bilan and all the other troops had settled down, they marched to a place three hundred steps away from the castle.
Faced with such high walls and deep trenches, he also had a headache.
This time Lord Wanyan was very angry.
I don't know if the news leaked or it was just an accident.
Lin Feng actually robbed them of the food and military supplies they had accumulated for a long time.
Wanyan Qingtian would not believe that there was a traitor among his own people.
Several senior executives agreed that Lin Feng had stumbled upon it by accident.
But even so, the originally safe situation was suddenly disrupted.
Most of the counties and towns in the western part of the town have been robbed once, and some places have even been robbed several times.
The problem of food and fodder gradually became apparent.
Faced with such a huge loss, tens of thousands of Tiezhen soldiers were about to have no food to eat.
At present, only the Qingshui area has abundant food and grass.
Wanyan Qingtian ordered Bilan to capture Qingshui and eliminate Lin Feng.
Otherwise, bring your head to me.
Ten thousand cavalrymen must capture Qingshui in a short period of time.
Every day of delay results in a huge loss of food and fodder.
Bilan waved his hand: "Ladders, battering rams, siege vehicles, first cavalry, begin the siege."
Without much nonsense, the two sides were already mortal enemies.
Lin Feng stood on the city wall and saw the Tartar army in chaos.
All kinds of siege tools were pushed forward.
He could not help but nod his head in praise: "This Tartar leader is a man of action. He doesn't waste words and just starts fighting."
"Then you have to be careful."
Bai Jing said worriedly.
"Everyone, prepare for defense."
As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier came to report.
"The Tartars have begun their attack in the North City."
"Tell Li Donglai to destroy the Tartar's ladders as soon as possible."
The messenger ran quickly towards the north city.
Without ladders, the Tatars had no rules to follow when facing trenches and high walls.
Lin Feng looked at the Tartars under the city and placed ladders at both ends of the trench. Countless Tartars stepped over the ladders and rushed to the bottom of the city.
People on and around the city started shooting arrows at each other.
The city gate was crowded with Tatar soldiers.
Lin Feng waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to throw down several kerosene cans.
Suddenly, flames broke out and countless Tartars screamed and rolled around, trying to put out the flames on their bodies.
"Li Hu and Wei Bao, you two must each identify your targets and find a way to destroy the Tartar's ladders."
The two men immediately took the order and left.
The soldiers on the city wall were panicked but not in chaos because Lin Feng was standing there.
Every soldier did his job in a tense and orderly manner.
Because the Tartars' archery skills were more accurate, Lin Feng ordered his men to escort the officials down the city.
The offensive and defensive battles between the two sides gradually became intense.
This is a tough battle for both sides.
One side fought desperately to protect its home.
The other side attacked desperately in order to avoid starvation.
The walls of Lingdouzi Castle were only about ten feet lower than those of the border town, but it still made things difficult for the Tartars.
Long ladders were erected on the wall, and the Tartars scrambled to climb up.
Unfortunately, they were unable to guard against the kerosene tanks of the large number of soldiers.
A large basin of flaming grease was poured down from above towards the ladder.
Not only were the Tartars burned and fell off the ladder, but even the wooden ladder was set on fire.
Because the ladder was too long, it was impossible to put out the fire.
They had no choice but to withdraw the ladder and everyone stepped forward to put out the fire.
Then erect it on the city wall.
This happened three times before the ladder could no longer withstand the burning and broke in the middle.
This made Bilan, who was watching the battle from a distance, frown.
Among the Tatars who were not good at attacking cities, Bilan was the best leader.
However, when he arrived at Lingdouzi Castle, he felt like he was facing a border town and had no idea where to start.
He knew that there were few people in the castle, so he ordered 10,000 soldiers to attack the city from four sides at the same time.
Lin Feng ordered all soldiers to form defensive teams and ordered all engineers to go up to the city to assist.
Even including the engineers, there were less than two thousand people in the castle.
Fortunately, the Tartars did not have many ladders.
After an offensive and defensive battle, more than ten of the forty ladders were burned.
As it got dark, Bilan ordered his troops to withdraw.
This battle is just the beginning, a test of the opponent's strength.
In the castle command center, Lin Feng sat behind the desk, staring at the papers on the table in a daze.
He remembered a few sentences from Sun Tzu's Art of War.
Surround them with ten of them, attack them with five of them, and fight them with twice their number.
The Tartars' military strength was nearly ten times that of his own, but Kebilan still chose to attack the city.
And without saying anything else, he started attacking directly.
It shows that they are anxious.
What are they in such a hurry for?
Bai Jing brought tea to Lin Feng and placed it gently on the table.
Then she stood behind him and kneaded his shoulders.
In order to prevent the assassin from attacking again, Fan Jinsong and Xie Chong stood on each side of the room.
In this way, if something happens, you can take action at any time.
It also leaves no chance for assassins to kill.
Of course, it wasn’t that Lin Feng was afraid, but this strange assassination method made it impossible for him to concentrate and think.
The war is coming, if you can't concentrate on fighting the enemy.
The ending will be tragic.
Once the city was breached by the Tartars, his family, subordinates, civilians, etc. would all be doomed.
"Let Wei Bao come over."
Xie Zhong immediately turned around and went out to pass on the message.
After a while, Wei Bao walked into the house.
"General, are you looking for me?"
"Leave the city immediately through the secret passage and find the Tartars' logistics forces. Note their location and report back immediately."
Wei Bao nodded to show that he understood.
Before leaving, he turned around and asked, "General, why don't you let me destroy their food supplies?"
Lin Feng shook his head: "It's difficult to destroy all the food and fodder for more than 10,000 men in one go. If you alert the enemy, it will be difficult to operate."
"I see. I'll go."
After Wei Bao left, Bai Jing asked softly.
"Brother, do you want to destroy the Tartars' food supplies?"
Lin Feng leaned back on the chair.
"From today's attack and defense, we can see that we can't hold out for long. The Tartars' attack is very urgent and fierce."
"Ah."
"Faced with a situation where they are sure to win, why are they so anxious?"
"I think you stole our food supplies, so we have nothing to eat."
"Or perhaps this Tartar leader has set a deadline for breaking the city."
"Maybe it was anger that took over."
Lin Feng laughed and said, "Acting on impulse is a big taboo on the battlefield. As a Silver Armor, I won't make such a low-level mistake."
"So, you want to try destroying their food supplies first."
