Chapter 574 The Deep Ditch That Cannot Be Avoided
Chapter 574 The Deep Ditch That Cannot Be Avoided
Zhao Shuo lowered his voice and said, "Our boss said that the Zhenxi Army will mobilize all three services, land, sea, and air. Any city will be as useless as paper in front of us."
Lin Feng shook his head: "It's still too early to mobilize. Our warships are still just a pile of keels."
"That will be soon. Then we'll let the rebels have a taste of what it's like to be attacked by three armies."
As they were talking, a soldier came to report from the front.
"General, there is a deep ditch ahead. Neither chariots nor horses can pass through."
Lin Feng waved his hand: "Let Zhu Jie handle it."
At this time, Zhu Jie was standing in front of a deep ravine in a daze.
This ravine is not too deep, estimated to be about twenty feet wide, but there is no end at either end, so it is impossible to go around it.
The soldiers could barely climb over the ditch, but the horses and chariots could forget about it.
This really stumped Zhu Jie. The slope was too steep, and excavation would be a huge undertaking.
Even if we bring all the engineers here, it will probably take three months to dig.
There is no way, I can only wait for Lin Feng to come.
Lin Feng was also troubled by such a deep ditch. He frowned and looked at the map.
"Damn it, what did Wei Bao do? Why don't I see any ditches here?"
As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at the crowd behind him.
"Where's Wei Bao?"
"Hey, boss, here it is, here it is."
Wei Bao squeezed out from behind the crowd and looked around at the ravine in front of him.
"Boss, we have never been deep into this mountain. Mainly because we didn't expect that we would have to go in."
"Stop talking nonsense and send someone to find a way."
Lin Feng also knew that there was no point in saying more. Things had come to this point and he had to find a way out quickly.
"Yes, don't worry, Boss."
Wei Bao turned and ran away.
Lin Feng ordered the entire army to set up camp and wait for a new route.
Su Zhongwang and Niu Xiangqian suffered defeat again and were defeated by the Zhenxi Army.
Although it was not the first time, they all sighed to the sky after they escaped for more than a hundred miles in a panic.
Especially Niu Xiangqian, he couldn't figure it out.
His Black Scarf Army has been invincible and unstoppable since they followed King Fu to fight.
No matter how many armies he faced, he was never defeated.
Even if we injure one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of our own, we can still maintain victory until the end of the battle.
He sat down on the ground dejectedly, facing the rising sun, with a look of despair on his face.
This time, his own Black Turban Army suffered heavy losses. There were 10,000 troops when they came, but now there are less than 3,000 left.
In the entire battle against the Zhenxi Army, they lost more than 40,000 soldiers.
These black scarf soldiers were all developed from the original provincial army and border army. Each of them was brave in battle and had high individual quality.
Niu Xiangqian felt heartbroken.
Su Zhongwang had gathered some of the remaining soldiers and retreated to the camp outside the city of Kyoto.
Unlike Niu Xiangqian, he was afraid.
He was completely defeated by Lin Feng's Zhenxi Army and felt fear from the bottom of his heart.
These non-humans are wearing heavy armor and cannot be poked or chopped at all.
It was a melee and I just got beaten up. How could I fight back?
Simply retreat into the main camp and never confront the Zhenxi Army head-on again.
After Luo Yunfei and Qiu Jie received the news of defeat, they were suddenly enlightened.
"Fuck, I fell into Lin Feng's trap of surrounding the enemy and attacking their reinforcements. What was he thinking?"
Qiu Jie widened his eyes.
"It's too late to remember now..."
Luo Yunfei sighed.
It took them a while to come back to their senses and they looked at each other.
"What about Lindu?"
Luo Yunfei was more decisive and waved his hand: "Let's mobilize more troops. It doesn't matter if we can't capture Jingdu City, but if something happens in Lindu, it will be troublesome."
"Okay, if not, let me lead the troops to aid Lindu."
Qiu Jie didn't dare to send his men randomly again, as they were defeated every time.
If he were defeated a few more times, the Black Scarf Army under his command would be almost wiped out.
In fact, the Palace Army and the Black Scarf Army originally fought separately, but later they gathered at the Kyoto Acropolis and joined forces.
Neither of them said anything, but they were both thinking about the process of engaging the Zhenxi Army.
Both believed that the hidden dangers were caused by the merger of the two armies. Neither of the two armies submitted to the other and could not be managed in a unified manner, which led to the failure of the battle.
Luo Yunfei strongly agreed with his decision.
"Okay, Brother Qiu, let's fight separately this time. We must eliminate this hidden danger behind us."
"Don't worry, we, the Black Scarf Army, are still...fighting with all our might."
Qiu Jie wanted to say that their Black Turban Army had never been defeated, but he stopped himself in time.
There were still 85,000 Black Turban Army soldiers besieging Kyoto City, all of whom were mobilized by Qiu Jie and separated from the government army.
They marched in a mighty force, heading straight for Lindu.
Gathering in the command center at the north gate of Kyoto City, Grand Tutor Wan, Zhao Wenqi and others received reports of the Black Turban Army's large-scale movement.
Several people frowned and looked at the battle report with doubtful expressions.
What are the Black Scarf Army going to do?
Their nerves are very tense and the slightest disturbance can make them frightened.
Because Kyoto was trapped, many messages were not transmitted smoothly and intelligence was received very slowly.
Therefore, the news that the Zhenxi Army defeated the rebels did not pass on.
Master Wan and others could no longer sit still, so they climbed up to the city wall themselves to observe the enemy situation.
Seeing the Black Scarf Army gathering in groups, they marched north along the military camp under the city.
Finally, five miles away, they formed a large group and continued to move northward in a winding manner.
Jiao Sanqiang frowned: "It seems that he is going to come up with some trick again."
Zhao Wenqi was much more experienced after all, and his eyes rolled around.
"Grand Master, I'm afraid it was our reward that caused Lin Feng's Zhenxi Army to move..."
Grand Tutor Wan stroked his beard and nodded frequently.
"Yes, that makes sense. Once the Zhenxi Army moved, they faced the capital directly, which made Zhao Zheng panic."
Jiao Sanqiang said with disdain: "He is indeed a greedy man, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, hehe, so he is not stubborn anymore?"
General of the Cavalry Ju Chaoyue and General of the Chariot Cavalry Wei Ming were also standing on one side. They glanced at each other secretly and breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as the Zhenxi Army moved, the pressure on Kyoto City was immediately reduced.
Seeing the Black Scarf Army under the city, this time they were making a lot of noise, a huge group.
It is estimated that there are no less than 100,000 people.
Once the Black Turban Army withdraws, only 100,000 rebels will be left, although they dare not go out of the city to fight back.
However, if they were really hungry, they would dare to rush out of the city and fight the rebels.
All the generals on the city wall were in a very happy mood, and the situation looked much better.
What Grand Tutor Wan and his companions thought was that Lin Feng had been moved by their offer of official positions, and that they were finally able to contain the rebels.
Ju Chaoyue and Wei Ming were thinking that the Zhenxi Army was indeed powerful. With just one move, they could force the rebels to withdraw half of their troops.
How did Lin Feng do it?
Prince Fu Zhao Zheng was already in a panic in Lindu, and the 30,000 people who came to rescue were defeated by the Zhenxi Army in one fell swoop.
Lindu was alone and exposed to the Zhenxi Army. How could he not be panicked?
King Fu no longer had any hope in Miao Changfeng's assassination plan.
Just like the previous attempt to assassinate Grand Tutor Wan Quan, this seemingly sharp and dark organization.
In wartime, he's just a piece of shit.
They can only do some small things and dare not do anything big.
Faced with the army's strong retaliation, they did not dare to go too far and could only sigh in despair.
