Chapter 506 Only One Death
Chapter 506 Only One Death
The next big city we passed was Tianzhifu City. After passing Tianzhifu City, we went forward to the last barrier of Kyoto City, Lindufu City.
Of course, the small county town in between was no longer within Lin Feng’s calculations.
The Acropolis due north of Kyoto is named Kun, and is facing fierce attacks from the Fu Wang rebels and the Black Turban Army.
Luo Yunfei, the general under King Fu's command, and Qiu Jie, the general of the Black Scarf Army, were each supervising the battle in front of the army.
It is hoped that Kuncheng can be captured in a short period of time, thus breaking the pattern of the eight major citadels in Kyoto.
While the fierce fighting was in full swing on and outside the city, Luo Yunfei and Qiu Jie received battle reports from Shen Jun and Lai Weisheng's troops.
The two men had already met in the military tent in the camp.
"Brother Luo, how did they lose so quickly?"
Luo Yunfei was also puzzled: "Shen Jun is said to be a steady man, how could he be so vulnerable?"
Qiu Jie shook the battle report in his hand.
"Brother Luo, this is not the key point. Did you see how Dingyuan Prefecture was breached?"
"Oh, the battle report says that Lin Feng brought down a thunderbolt that collapsed the city wall..."
The two looked at each other.
"Such an outrageous thing, do you believe it, Brother Qiu?"
Qiu Jie scratched his head. He was originally a believer of the Black Scarf Society and had an almost paranoid belief in the Black Scarf Society's teachings and the Virgin Mary.
If the Virgin Mary has a spirit, can't there be other gods in heaven?
"Oh, Brother Luo, it's hard to say. Perhaps there are some strange people who know some strange tricks?"
Luo Yunfei was of course not satisfied with his explanation. He frowned and shook his head, thinking hard.
"Brother Luo, we fought all the way here, and it's because of the Virgin Mary's blessing that we have been able to win every battle."
Qiu Jie further explained.
Luo Yunfei didn't believe in the Virgin Mary's blessing. He could win the battle by relying on his own strategies and tactics and the dedication of his soldiers.
Of course, no one believed that Lin Feng could destroy a big city in Dingyuan Prefecture with just a thunderbolt.
"Shen Jun and the other two failed to stop the Zhenxi Army. We need to speed up our offensive."
Qiu Jie waved his hand and said, "Brother Luo, don't worry. This time I will send a capable person to stop the Zhenxi Army and make sure they are wiped out."
"A capable person?"
"Hehe, this man is the leader of our Black Scarf Society, and he's also a very powerful master. With him leading the team, we're sure to give the Zhenxi Army a surprise."
Qiu Jie said proudly.
Luo Yunfei asked doubtfully, "Since Brother Qiu has such a capable person, why not let him destroy Kuncheng?"
"Uh... I'm afraid his magic power hasn't reached that level yet."
Luo Yunfei said worriedly, "Brother Qiu, you must be careful. If we can't stop the Zhenxi Army, it will affect our progress in breaking through the city."
"Don't worry, this person will definitely succeed."
Qiu Jie is full of confidence.
"I think we should send more people to be on the safe side."
"Okay, how about you and I each send 20,000 troops this time?"
Luo Yunfei still felt it was not safe enough.
"I can allocate 30,000 people to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Qiu Jie smiled and said, "Brother Luo has always been known for his prudence and caution. He is indeed mature and prudent. I think that's just as Brother Luo intended."
After the two men had made up their minds, they immediately gave orders to send their men to Tianzhi Mansion.
This time, there were 30,000 rebels led by King Fu and 20,000 Black Scarf troops, a total of 50,000 troops.
They marched out of the camp in a mighty procession and headed straight for Tianzhi Mansion.
A total of 260,000 rebels besieged the Kyoto Acropolis, and 80,000 of them were withdrawn, although the impact was not significant.
However, the defenders in the Acropolis also felt the pressure was easing.
Kuncheng remained unchanged, but the number of troops outside other Acropolis cities had obviously decreased.
The report was quickly sent to the Kuncheng Command Center.
The commander-in-chief, Grand Tutor Wan, looked at the battle report in his hand, and his long white eyebrows trembled.
After a while, he handed out the battle report.
"Wen Qi, take a look."
General Zhao Wenqi took the battle report with both hands, glanced at it, and immediately smiled.
"Grandmaster, this is the credit of the Zhenxi Army."
Several other generals hurried forward and passed around the battle reports in their hands.
General Jiao Sanqiang frowned and asked, "The Zhenxi Army only has 30,000 troops entering the capital. How can that affect the rebels?"
General Wei Ming also echoed: "Zhenxi is a remote place, how can it be more powerful than the 50,000 border troops in Zhennan? It is probably because of his affairs that the rebels were affected."
General Ju Chaoyue of the Cavalry Army quickly said, "I heard that Lin Feng of the Zhenxi Army is an expert in commanding troops. He drove the invading Tartar cavalry out of Zhenxi and even penetrated the borders of Tiezhen. He should not be underestimated."
"Hey, it's just a rumor, don't believe it."
Jiao Sanqiang shook his head disdainfully.
"How about sending someone to take a look?"
"Our people can't get out now. There are too many rebels. It's very difficult to get in and out."
Grand Tutor Wan remained silent, and everyone in the hall gradually fell silent.
No matter what, a glimmer of hope rose in their hearts.
This is the expectation of victory and the desire for life.
They all understood that once the rebels broke into the city, they, the generals who resisted resolutely, would be the first to be killed by King Fu.
Finally, after a long silence, Grand Tutor Wan coughed.
"Ahem, regardless of who's influencing it, it's not a bad thing. All parties involved must hold their positions and wait for changes. The worst outcome is your death."
All the generals bowed their heads in agreement.
Prince Fu has moved his palace in Luocheng to Lindu.
It is five hundred miles away from Kyoto and is also the last barrier of Kyoto.
After the rebels occupied Lindu, King Fu moved his base camp there, facing Kyoto from afar.
He wanted to capture Kyoto in the near future so that he could seize the throne as quickly as possible.
Ascending the throne to become emperor is Prince Fu’s obsession and his most urgent wish.
He wanted to let everyone in the Zhao family see who was the true emperor of the clan.
He wanted to let his mother see that even though he was born out of wedlock, he could still become the head of the Zhao family.
It turned out that the group of princes and grandchildren all looked down on him and ridiculed him.
When the time comes, will the feeling of having me step on you be worse than eating shit?
Seeing that his army of more than 200,000 had already besieged Kyoto, General Luo Yunfei and the leader of the Black Turban Army Qiu Jie had repeatedly assured him.
Within two months, the Acropolis was captured, and within three months, the gates of Kyoto were broken into.
Seeing that the Kyoto Acropolis had been under siege for more than a month and was still stubbornly blocked outside the city, he felt a little anxious.
At this time, news came that the Zhenxi Army had captured two cities in succession and destroyed the troops that went to stop them.
He was even more furious, threw the battle report to the ground and shouted loudly.
"Waste, idiot, fool..."
Lan Yu hurriedly picked up the battle report from the ground, took a look at it, and frowned.
I have repeatedly reminded myself that Lin Feng should not be underestimated and that I must be extremely careful.
It seems that these arrogant guys are used to winning battles and don't take anyone seriously.
The Zhenxi Army had 30,000 soldiers, and they also sent 30,000 soldiers to meet the enemy.
Isn't this seeking death?
Miao Changfeng also read the battle report. His focus was on Lin Feng attracting thunder from the sky and blowing up the city gate tower.
I thought about it again and again, but still couldn't figure it out.
