Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 498 Peace Talks

Lai Weisheng was more astute than Shen Jun. As an army commander, he did not stand in front of the battle line.

Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately raised his hand to stop the guards from charging forward.

He needed to observe further and not get caught in the enemy's attack.

Lin Qiaomei used three rounds of feather arrows and three rounds of crossbow arrows, fully utilizing her advantage in long-range attacks.

Nearly half of the 10,000 Black Scarf Army soldiers were knocked down after six rounds of volleys of bullets.

They had no energy to resist the charge of the cavalry, although they continued to charge forward desperately.

But they were unable to resist the charge of the warhorse.

The team only had two thousand cavalrymen, and the rest were infantrymen, so they were in a state of being abused.

In just half a minute, Lai Weisheng finally realized that he could not defeat the team in front of him.

The fighting style of the Zhenxi Army is much stronger than that of the Dazong Imperial Guards in every aspect.

Lai Weisheng took a deep breath.

"Walk."

After shouting loudly, he turned his horse around and began to retreat with his guards.

Unfortunately, he once again underestimated the speed of the Zhenxi Army's cavalry.

These war horses, whose riding skills are comparable to those of the Tatars, will never let the enemy cavalry escape.

In the eyes of the Zhenxi Army's cavalry, these Black Scarf Army cavalrymen were like underage children.

Whether it's horse fighting or horse riding speed, they can't be compared with them at all.

Lai Weisheng's escort consisted of 300 cavalrymen, who rode their horses hard and fled through the wilderness.

He no longer had time to look at the pursuers behind him.

Lai Weisheng panicked and rushed forward without knowing where to go.

After an unknown amount of time, he felt that there were fewer and fewer guards around him, and he turned his head to look around in surprise.

But when he looked left and right, he suddenly realized that he was the only one riding his horse.

He didn't dare look back, for fear of affecting his escape speed, and just kept hitting the horse's buttocks with all his might.

When he glanced around again worriedly, he found that there were more war horses on his left and right, galloping side by side with him.

Lai Weisheng lamented in his heart, thinking that he was probably doomed.

Then everything went black and he fell off his horse.

Lin Qiaomei put away her steel knife while riding on her galloping warhorse.

He slowed down his horse and sneered, "What's the point of keeping a guy like him who doesn't care about his subordinates?"

As he spoke, he circled the warhorse and waved to the pursuing cavalry to go back.

Passing by Lai Weisheng's headless body, he rode away without even looking at it.

The two teams of Wang Qian and Lin Qiaomei easily eliminated 30,000 rebels.

The two men did not feel the pleasure of fighting and surviving the disaster. Even their subordinates felt that these opponents were too weak.

In the eyes of every soldier, the combat effectiveness of these rebels was not much different from that of the Xixia Yinzhou government army.

It’s just that the Black Scarf Army’s 10,000 troops are a little sticky.

When they cleaned up the battlefield and returned to the camp.

As Lin Feng had expected, the 5,000 troops who rushed over from Shanglin Prefecture were scared back by the bravery of the Zhenxi Army.

The Sanjiang Prefecture troops on the other side of the river were also dispersed by Li Donglai's charge.

Three battle reports were handed to Lin Feng, and the results were very brilliant.

Of the 20,000 troops of King Fu's army, more than 4,000 were killed on the spot, more than 6,800 were captured, and the rest fled in all directions.

The Black Scarf Army suffered a more miserable fate. They encountered Lin Qiaomei's long-range attack battalion, and their 10,000-man army was almost strangled to death.

In fact, this was also an arrangement that Lin Feng tacitly agreed to. For a team like the Black Scarf Army, it was best not to leave any remnants.

Lin Feng waved the battle report in his hand, thinking that his manpower was increasing.

Of the 6,800 prisoners, some were incorporated into the engineering battalion as laborers, while the others were sent to Yinzhou to mine.

For those soldiers with good physical fitness and potential, after training and assessment, they can even be incorporated into his own Zhenxi Corps.

Next, the large force of the Zhenxi Army crossed the river, and the process was very smooth.

Hundreds of laborers used ropes to pull the chariots from the river to the shore.

Although there were some complications, no major problems occurred.

Then came the huge catapult, which was fixed horizontally on the carriage and dragged ashore with difficulty by hundreds of people.

The Zhenxi Army fought all night and finally crossed the river safely.

Within the territory of Tiezhen Kingdom, there is the city of Baruxishi.

Tao Jinwang received a report from a soldier that a group of more than ten Tatars were waiting in front of the suspension bridge outside the city and requested a dialogue.

Tao Jinwang was no longer in danger. After hearing the report, he took his guards and mounted his horse to the top of the city wall.

In front of the moat outside the city, there were more than a dozen Tatar cavalrymen, looking up at the city.

"Go ask them what they are here for."

Obviously, these dozen or so Tartars are not here to fight.

The soldiers opened the city gate, rode to the front of the trench, and looked at the dozen or so Tartars vigilantly.

The leader of this group of Tiezhen knights was Wanyan Qingtian. He brought only a dozen guards and came to Baruxishi City, wanting to negotiate peace with Lin Feng.

He was forced to do so. The emperor asked him to make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence, so he had to come.

Behind Wanyan Qingtian, Song Yi was wearing a black cloak and covering his face with a wide hood.

He looked out from the edge of his hood, nervously observing the situation around him.

Song Yi was even more frightened because Wanyan Qingtian wanted to negotiate with Lin Feng and take him with him.

Isn't this going to kill him?

Although Wanyan Qingtian repeatedly comforted him, Song Yi was now the envoy in charge of negotiations in the Tiezhen court, and Lin Feng would not do anything to him.

Besides, with Song Yi's current appearance, no one would recognize him.

In the past, Song Yi could be described as handsome and confident.

But now, not only is he skinny, his face is full of wrinkles, and his expression is extremely wretched.

He was really abused by the master of the Tiezhen tribe and turned into a Shar Pei.

Wanyan Qingtian also promised him that as long as he helped complete the peace negotiation mission, he would give him the identity of a Tiezhen civilian.

Song Yi is like a stray dog ​​who finally found a habitat.

After negotiations, Wanyan Qingtian and his group of more than ten riders were allowed into the city of Baruxishi.

They were brought to a courtyard, dismounted, and were led by soldiers into the living room inside the courtyard.

Only Wanyan Qingtian and Song Yi entered the house. The other guards were confined in a corner of the yard and their movements were restricted.

Tao Jinwang sat in the first seat, with Tao Dazhuang standing next to him, and four guards standing at the door.

Wanyan Qingtian sat at the bottom, and Song Yi stood behind him.

Song Yi discovered that since he entered the city and came to the house, there was indeed no one he knew, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"General Tao, could I meet General Lin?"

Wanyan Qingtian tried his best to make the smile on his face gentler.

Tao Jinwang knew very well that Wanyan Qingtian was the Tartar who had been looting and killing people in the land of Zhenxi for several years.

"If you have anything to say, tell me. General Lin is not available to see you."

Tao Jinwang said lightly.

Wanyan Qingtian pondered for a moment. "General Tao, our two countries have been at war for years, causing great suffering and hardship to the people. It has brought enormous losses to the country and the people. It would be better to stop now. I wonder if General Tao agrees?"
