Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 654: Forgotten Military Orders

At the four city gates, there were teams of Black Scarf Army who opened the gates and lowered the drawbridges.

Then it gushed out of the city like a black torrent.

Instead of charging, they fled, running for their lives in all directions.

I wish I could get away from the place of guilt and the abyss of punishment from God the next moment.

Qiu Jie's heart also collapsed. He took his men to hide in the back of the battle line far away from Shanglin Prefecture, thinking that he could rebuild the faith of the Black Turban Army over time.

Unexpectedly, Lin Feng came over specifically and hit him hard at his weak spot.

He really couldn't stand this kind of fighting style.

It was dark at night, and the entire city was ablaze with flames and cries of killing.

Qiu Jie understood that his Black Turban Army was being slaughtered one-sidedly.

But he was powerless and had to take his guards and look for an opportunity to run to the east gate.

He hoped that Zhencheng, which was closest to Kuncheng, would lead troops to rescue after hearing the sound.

After escaping from Kuncheng, the Black Scarf Army lost track of direction and simply rushed into the fields.

Forty thousand Black Scarf Army soldiers rushed out from three city gates, and their direction could not be seen clearly in the darkness.

One can imagine that the whole mountain and field were filled with their frantic figures.

Darkness gave them a little sense of security. As long as they stayed away from the sinful place behind them, they could be saved.

However, no matter which city gate they escaped from, there would be a large number of imperial guards ambushing not far away.

The Black Scarf Army was waiting to be defeated and fall into the trap.

Under the cover of night, shouts of killing could be heard everywhere in the wilderness radiating out from Kuncheng in all directions.

The 40,000 Black Turban Army was like lambs chased by wolves. They had no resistance and were killed and fled everywhere in panic.

In Zhencheng, less than a hundred miles away, the leader of the 20,000-strong Fuwangfu army was General Qulu Jing Zhaoheng.

I had already fallen asleep, but in the quiet night, I heard some noise.

Although we were far away, we could still faintly hear countless vibrations.

Jing Zhaoheng quickly got up, ran to the city wall, and looked towards Kuncheng.

It was pitch black ahead, I couldn't see anything, and even the vibration stopped.

Several of Jing Zhaoheng's generals followed beside him and also started discussing in confusion.

"Boss, was Kuncheng attacked?"

"Well, judging from the direction, it should be."

"Kuncheng has 40,000 troops. Defending the city shouldn't be a problem."

Jing Zhaoheng suddenly shuddered all over.

"Go, send someone to check the situation outside the city, so we don't get ambushed."

A soldier immediately went to the city to pass on the order.

A general laughed and said, "Boss, who is stupid enough to climb up this wall? It's hard to climb it even in the daytime. It's pitch black here. You are courting death."

"It's better to be careful. I heard that Lin Feng came to Kyoto. I wonder if he will cause any trouble."

One of the generals suddenly asked, "Boss, shall we go to rescue them?"

Jing Zhaoheng frowned: "It's so dark, how can we rescue them?"

"That's right, don't fall into Lin Feng's trap."

"How do you know it's Lin Feng?"

"Isn't that nonsense? Before Lin Feng came, these imperial guards were like turtles. Who dared to show their heads?"

Jing Zhaoheng raised his hand to interrupt several generals.

"Everyone, be alert and do a good job of defending the city, or we will fall prey to their schemes."

"Boss, aren't you going to save them?"

"We'll see what happens after daybreak. The Black Scarf Army is not just boasting about its ability to fight tough battles. Even if it's defending a city, no one can match it."

"Boss is right. Now I ask you to lead the rescue team. Will you go?"

The general quickly shook his head: "I'm afraid of the dark, you better go, brother."

"Again, what nonsense are you talking about."

They waited on the city wall for half an hour, and when they saw no more movement in the wild, they walked down the city wall.

Jing Zhaoheng walked while giving orders: "You guys will take turns on duty tonight. The patrol team will be working overtime, so the sentry posts must not be interrupted."

Several people responded quickly, discussing who would go first and who would go later.

When Jing Zhaoheng returned to his residence, a soldier came to report.

No abnormalities were found outside the city.

This gave him some relief.

Ever since Lin Feng's Zhenxi Army entered the Central Plains, they have been shrinking again and again, and finally ended up in a situation where they were only able to defend one city.

They were about to attack Kyoto and gain immense wealth.

Unfortunately, the plan failed at the last moment and Lin Feng ruined the good thing.

It was only at dawn that Jiao Sanqiang gathered his men and horses, set out from Qiancheng, and headed straight for Zhencheng.

His base was far away from Zhencheng, and he had to go around Kyoto City and then walk about a hundred miles.

If you want to reach your destination as quickly as possible, it will take at least half a day.

After returning to the city last night, I drank a few glasses of wine and slept soundly.

After being woken up by the guards early in the morning, I remembered that no march was arranged last night.

I forgot Lin Feng's order for a moment.

Jiao Sanqiang was also anxious, and he whipped his horse hard, urging the team to move forward.

When I followed Grand Tutor Wan in the past, although I had delayed things, I was only scolded a few times.

But Lin Feng is in charge now, and I am not sure about what to do.

Zhao Wenqi's third and fifth battalions were stationed in Licheng, facing Zhencheng.

According to Lin Feng's order, he needed to launch an attack on Zhencheng in the middle of the night.

Zhao Wenqi was resistant to this order.

Who has nothing to do and has to get up in the middle of the night to attack the city?

Faced with high walls and deep ravines, mistakes can occur even in broad daylight, let alone running over in the middle of the night.

The city hadn't even been attacked yet, but his own soldiers were already beaten to a pulp.

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

However, Lin Feng's order was there, and it would be unacceptable not to carry it out.

After much deliberation, Zhao Wenqi decided to have his subordinates lead the troops out of the city overnight and set up camp twenty miles away from Zhencheng.

In this way, once daybreak comes, the five battalions can be moved to the city.

Another team of soldiers from the third battalion bypassed Zhencheng and headed straight for the wilderness between Zhencheng and Kuncheng.

The general leading the army received the order to find a random place to set up camp and wait for further orders.

We’ll decide whether to attack the city later. First, you should have an attitude so that others won’t be able to find fault with you.

By daybreak, Jiao Sanqiang had already led his troops to the foot of Zhencheng, more than three miles away, and stopped the army.

He estimated that Zhao Wenqi had 20,000 troops at the south gate of Zhencheng, and the rebels in Zhencheng would definitely not dare to go out of the city to fight.

Both of them had prepared a plan and found an excuse for themselves.

Anyway, he did not disobey the orders of Deputy Commander Lin Feng.

On the other hand, on the Kuncheng battlefield, the entire city was filled with soldiers from the 11th Battalion of the Imperial Guard.

At daybreak, the city was cleared and not a single Black Scarf Army soldier was left alive.

Ten thousand imperial guards are clearing the battlefield and restoring the city's defenses.

To the north of Kuncheng, in the wilderness on three sides, three teams that had been ambushed were chasing and killing the fleeing black scarf soldiers.

This battle was undoubtedly a great victory for Lin Feng.

Lin Feng stood on the city wall of Kuncheng, observing the surrounding area with his telescope.

After this battle, the Black Scarf Army would no longer be able to form an army and would no longer pose a threat to them.

Once the stubborn problem of the Black Scarf Army is eliminated, it will be much easier to deal with the other government troops.

Conventional weapons can also be fatal to other rebel groups.
