Chapter 409 He is truly a god
Chapter 409 He is truly a god
Because he could dodge the arrows shot from the compound bow, Lin Feng gave it his all and took Shen Zhongying very seriously in his heart.
Who knew this guy was so fragile?
Shen Zhongying had no words to express his pain.
He was thrown off his horse and his thigh hit the steps.
In such a moment, he could not move freely, let alone face Lin Feng's steel knife that was as fast as the wind.
Compared to Boss Miao, his martial arts skills are among the top five.
Who would have thought that such a powerful man would be killed by Lin Feng.
Shen Zhongying stared unwillingly at the blue sky, blood mixed with foam spurting out of his mouth.
Slowly closed his eyelids.
Lin Feng stood two steps away with a knife in hand, examining Shen Zhongying lying on the ground.
He waited until he died before walking up to him, feeling his pulse with his fingers and making sure he was completely dead.
Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and looked towards the gate tower.
Coincidentally, Xi Niang also walked out of the courtyard gate carrying a bow and crossbow.
The two men had a brilliant record in battle, using crossbows to destroy Shen Zhongying's guards.
Xi Niang walked closer.
"Are you hurt?"
Lin Feng looked her up and down.
Xi Niang shook her head and bent down to pick up the crossbow arrow stuck in the corpse.
These things are quite expensive, especially the crossbow and feather arrows used by Lin Feng, which are specially made and require a lot of labor and money.
After cleaning up the battlefield, the two men identified the direction and headed straight for the city square.
Shen Zhongying's warhorse was disabled, and several other warhorses also ran away and disappeared.
After they had walked a few steps, they saw many soldiers wearing black scarves pouring into the street.
Lin Feng and Xi Niang were shocked.
Where did these black scarf soldiers come from?
Is there something wrong with the plan?
Or is the intelligence not accurate enough, and there are defenders hiding in the city?
Before Lin Feng could think too much, the black scarf soldiers had already run up to him.
There were about a hundred soldiers, running forward in a mass.
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and reached out to grab Xi Niang who was about to step forward and attack him, pulling her against the wall.
Those black-turbaned soldiers were running around in a large crowd and did not attack the two men at all.
He didn't even look at them, but just ran forward in panic.
Xi Niang looked at Lin Feng in confusion.
Lin Feng held the knife against the wall and frowned as he watched the soldiers running past him.
"This is a defeated army. There are people chasing them from behind. They can't take care of us."
After the Black Scarf Army ran over, it didn't take long before they saw Qin Fang and a lot of soldiers chasing them.
When he saw Lin Feng, he was stunned and was about to stop.
Lin Feng quickly waved his hand, signaling him to continue chasing, and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Qin Fang nodded slightly while running, indicating that he understood, and waved his hand to let the soldiers speed up their pursuit.
After everyone disappeared to the other end of the street, Xi Niang asked in some confusion.
"General, the Black Scarf Army has always fought to the death, why did they run away so quickly this time?"
Lin Feng frowned and said, "I'm afraid the statue of the Virgin Mary was destroyed by the thunder, which dealt a fatal blow to their beliefs. In addition, the leader of the army was our primary target, so the morale of the army was weakened and they were unable to organize an effective counterattack."
Xi Niang took a deep breath and said, "General, you are truly a god."
She participated in all the strategies that Lin Feng planned to take over the provincial capital, and knew Lin Feng's deduction and prediction of every detail.
I saw the leader of the Black Turban Army lying dead on the street and heard the statue of the Virgin Mary being blown up.
I felt a deep respect for Lin Feng from the bottom of my heart.
Xi Niang is also a decisive and resolute person. She was lost for a moment and then woke up immediately.
"General, where are we going now?"
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "If we go to the north gate, we will be directly exposed to the attack of the Black Scarf Army."
Although he had made all the arrangements in his plan, the Black Turban Army still had 30,000 troops in its camp 30 miles north of the city.
Once the two sides start fighting, He Zhiwu will find a way to transfer the government troops in the camp into the city as soon as possible.
In this way, with 10,000 government troops defending the city, the 30,000 Black Scarf Army would have no hope of breaking through.
In the camp thirty miles north of the city.
Feng Ling and Wu Zhutong, senior generals of the Black Scarf Army, were sleeping.
I was suddenly awakened by a loud explosion in my sleep.
Feng Ling is in his forties and is the oldest and most stable among these generals.
He sat up in bed and listened suspiciously.
Apart from that loud noise, there was no other movement.
Wu Zhutong also opened his eyes and listened attentively, but there was no sound for a long time.
Then he closed his eyes and fell into deep sleep again.
Feng Ling acted cautiously, put on his clothes, stood up and went outside.
Two soldiers stood outside his door.
The sky was already turning white and the surroundings were very quiet.
"Did you hear a loud noise?"
A soldier stood at attention and replied, "General Feng, there was indeed a sound like thunder just now."
They looked up at the sky at the same time. Apart from the half moon shrouded in mist, there was also the foggy sky.
"Which direction?"
The soldier looked confused and pointed randomly.
"General, I don't understand. It seems... over there."
Feng Ling pondered for a moment and said, "Go and send a message. Send someone to check inside the city. If there is any situation, report it immediately."
"Yes, General."
After giving the order, Feng Ling turned around and went back to the barracks, ready to go to bed and take a nap.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat on the bed, a soldier came to report outside the door.
"Report, General Feng, the government army camp is empty."
Feng Ling stood up suddenly, walked a few steps to the door, opened it, and stared at the soldiers outside.
"What did you say?"
"General Feng, there's no one in the government camp. Not a single person can be seen."
Feng Ling frowned and thought.
Where can the government troops who have always been honest and obedient go?
Feng Ling knew in his heart that Shen Zhongying, Peng Liang and others were acting recklessly in the city.
I can't control it myself, so I can only try not to get involved with them.
Although they knew that something would happen sooner or later, these former generals in the city must be very dissatisfied.
What happened today was very unusual.
It was not the Qingshui Army that made the move, but the Fu Army, which had not been paid much attention to, that moved first.
"What's going on in the city?"
"General Feng, we have sent people to investigate and will report back soon."
"Send General Wu here, immediately."
Feng Ling had a bad feeling that something was wrong, so it was better to prepare early.
Wu Zhu was assigned by Feng Ling to lead 5,000 men and horses out of the camp and head straight for the provincial capital.
Regardless of whether there is any problem or not, we must first control the city.
This was the result of Feng Ling's discussion with Wu Zhu.
The large group of people arrived at the city in half an hour, covering a distance of thirty miles.
At this time, a drawbridge was pulled up over the moat in front of the city.
At this time of day on ordinary days, the city gates should be open and the drawbridge should be lowered.
Wu Zhutong knew that things were going to get bad just by looking at the situation.
He immediately sent two teams to check the situation at the east and west city gates respectively.
He rode his horse to the front of the trench and looked up at the soldiers on the city gate tower.
After looking for a long time, he didn't see a single soldier wearing black leather armor and a black scarf.
Wu Zhutong's heart sank to the bottom.
If they lost the provincial capital in Zhenxi, their 30,000 Black Scarf Army would be in danger.
He didn't understand. The boss was in the city with one or two thousand people, so how come he didn't see a single one?
The scouts sent out by the Black Turban Army did not find any large-scale military forces appearing. How could the situation in the city change so suddenly overnight?
He waved his hand and asked the guards around him to shout to the city.
"Hey, on the city wall, the Black Scarf Army Wuzhu Tong General is here, open the city walls immediately."
The city walls were now being guarded by a combined force of government troops and Qingshui troops.
A dozen soldiers stood behind the battlements with guns in hand, looking coldly at the large group of black soldiers and horses below the city. No one spoke.
The guards shouted three times in a row, but there was no response from the city.
