Chapter 820 God’s Will
This was also a defensive formation that had been arranged long ago. As soon as the city gate was broken, everyone would immediately return to their positions without further explanation.
He had just run down the city gate tower when the heavily armored cavalry of the Zhenxi Army rushed in from the other side of the city gate.
The speed was so fast that the development and changes of things were beyond his expectations.
Someone brought a war horse over. After Wanyan Wuji mounted the horse, he led his guards and rushed madly towards the palace in the city.
When Lin Feng rode his horse into the city gate, he took a special look at the collapsed iron gate.
The thick iron plate was riddled with bullet holes, but there were no obvious cracks.
However, the iron door was fine, but the joint between the door hinge and the wall could not withstand such endless heavy blows. When it reached its limit, it finally broke and collapsed.
Lin Feng shook his head: "It's God's will, who can I blame?"
After saying this, he urged his horse to rush into the city of Bahrain.
The city of Bahrain was broken, and what Wanyan Wuji did not expect was that crossbows and shotguns became the kings of street fighting.
Those Tiezhen elites who had lost their speed suffered a fatal blow in the narrow alley.
The lofty realm of shooting eagles with a bow became a joke under the winding eaves and on the wall.
The heavy armored battalion rampaged through the streets, while the light cavalry battalion rushed into the alleys to clear out the Tiezhen soldiers.
Lin Feng's 1,500 guards also participated in the street fighting.
The city of Bahrain was very large, and after the 20,000 troops of the Zhenxi Army and the Kuro tribe were deployed there, they were almost all dispersed and could no longer see each other.
The Zhenxi Army has always adhered to Lin Feng's combat philosophy, forming groups of thirty cavalrymen and focusing on teamwork, no matter how many people are on the other side.
The Kuro cavalry dispersed into the countless alleys in the city.
Lin Feng rode his horse and slowly moved forward on the wide street.
On his left was Pei Qiyin, on his right was Na Lan, behind him was Mu Tou Lian, and in front of him was Qiao Jushan leading the way.
Cheng Liang, Wen Jian, Ye Liangcai, and Bu Yunting, each with their own team, had disappeared into the alleys.
Of course, they would not stay away from Lin Feng, but would just clear out the missed Tiezhen soldiers around and prevent them from getting close to Lin Feng in the center.
Buildings in the city were on fire, and there were cries and screams all around, as well as the chaotic sound of horses' hooves trampling on the ground.
On the street in front of Lin Feng, people from the Tiezhen tribe were running past from time to time.
According to Lin Feng's policy for entering the city, no civilians can be killed.
However, civilians who are armed or young and middle-aged are not included in this category.
Even if you are an ordinary citizen, I may not kill you, but if you have a weapon in your hand and are a young and middle-aged man, I cannot be polite to you.
Especially in foreign territory, this policy is very risky and will increase the risk of casualties among many soldiers.
According to past battle examples, when a city was captured, the general would usually choose to massacre the entire city without hesitation, leaving no one alive.
Lin Feng would never massacre the city, so he could only emphasize again and again that soldiers must act with caution when entering the city and protecting themselves is the first priority.
The Zhenxi Army advanced quickly.
This was because Tiezhen's soldiers were defeated quickly, and when they saw that they could not gain an advantage in the street fighting, they quickly retreated.
Na Lan was very familiar with the Tiezhen Imperial City. She was the chief guard in the palace and one of Wanyan Wufeng's most trusted people.
At this time, Nalan was following Lin Feng, standing at one end of the palace avenue, looking up at the tall, luxurious, majestic and solemn Tiezhen Palace.
My heart was in turmoil and I couldn't contain my excitement.
Lin Feng and others also looked up at the imperial palace in the distance, all in silence.
The same tall and majestic building is located in the Kyoto Imperial Palace.
Emperor Zhao Zhen was already drunk and fell into self-anesthetization again.
Seeing that the rebel army of nearly 200,000 had surrounded the Kyoto Acropolis, he was desperate and could only drown his sorrows in alcohol.
Four of the eight citadels outside the imperial city had been captured by the Taisho Imperial Army.
In addition to Kuncheng and Gencheng which are still in the hands of the Imperial Guards, there are also Kancheng and Xuncheng which are under the control of the Zhenxi Army.
Half of the eight Acropolises have been lost.
The remaining Kuncheng and Gencheng were also surrounded by the rebels.
Hu Jincai had a serious expression on his face. He stood on the city wall of Kansas and looked into the distance.
For some unknown reason, there was not a single rebel in front of Kancheng and Xuncheng.
Originally, Hu Jincai was thinking that if the rebels surrounded him, he could use this as an excuse to attack and give them a warning.
Because Kancheng and Xuncheng are close to the river, the Zhenxi and four small warships can get close and are completely within the range of artillery bombardment.
Unexpectedly, just as agreed, not even a single rebel showed up.
Cui Ying followed behind Hu Jincai, also looking confused.
"Old Hu, why don't the rebels come to surround us?"
Hu Jincai stroked the short beard under his chin and pondered for a moment.
"I'm afraid Zhao Zheng did it on purpose. First, he wanted to alienate the relationship between the Zhenxi Army and the Imperial Guards. Second, he didn't want to anger our boss, fearing that the Zhenxi Army would participate in the counterattack."
Cui Ying nodded repeatedly: "Old Hu, your brain is almost catching up with the boss."
"How dare you! The boss is a god, and I, Old Hu, am just a mortal. Don't talk nonsense."
"Well, you're still a far cry from the boss."
"Haha, that's more like it."
After the two chatted for a while.
Cui Ying said worriedly, "The city is overcrowded and there's not enough food. What should we do next?"
Hu Jincai shook his head: "The boss didn't let us evacuate, probably because he wanted to leave a way out for the Dazong court."
Cui Ying frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Hu Jincai was still very patient when facing the beautiful general.
"Think about it, with nearly 200,000 rebels, without the participation of our Zhenxi Army, the Imperial Guards will definitely not be able to hold out for a few days and will be trapped in Kyoto sooner or later."
Cui Ying's eyes lit up: "The boss told us to stay here, so the rebels won't dare come. Then the west gate of Jingdu City must be the last evacuation route for the people in the city."
Hu Jincai praised: "General Cui is not only beautiful in life, but also has a good mind. No wonder he is so favored by the boss."
"Stop it, the boss favors you, Old Hu, the most. Are you bragging about yourself?"
"Hehehe, we are both the boss's confidants. We each have our strengths and weaknesses. We must make the best of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses to make further progress."
Cui Ying sighed softly, "Oh, Old Hu, no kidding. The boss is really looking three steps ahead. It makes me feel like an idiot."
Hu Jincai shook his head: "Otherwise, if you can figure out the trick, you are definitely not an idiot. Understanding the boss's intentions is our top priority."
As the two were talking, some soldiers ran up to the city wall.
"Report, General Hu, General Cui, a large number of people have come out of Kyoto again, demanding to enter Kancheng..."
Hu Jincai frowned and turned around, looking at the crowded streets in the city, which were already full.
On the Jinjiang River, dozens of fishing boats and cargo ships were transporting refugees to Jingxi Prefecture day and night.
If this continues, Jingxi Prefecture will not be able to bear it and will have to be diverted to Sanjiang Prefecture or Tianzhi Prefecture.
These people are all ordinary people living in Kyoto, and there are many officials among them.
Lin Feng once said that economic development requires a large population. Without people, there will be no demand. Without demand, how can there be an economy?
