Chapter 920: Indiscriminate Bombardment

Cui Ying also stayed in the command center worriedly, watching Lin Feng looking down at the map.

"General, in my opinion, we should abandon the city. We definitely can't hold out against 60,000 people."

Lin Feng looked up: "We can abandon the city, but we can't let them get in too easily."

"How will the general fight back against the Taisho Imperial Army?"

Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "Tell the 8,000 soldiers in the city to retreat to Jinjiang overnight, leaving an empty city for them."

Cui Ying nodded: "General, I think so too."

"No, we have a follow-up."

"Oh?"

"Order two warships to enter the Jinjiang River branch from the Cancheng dock, head to the branch that connects to the Jingdu moat, and wait south of Cancheng."

"General, are you going to bombard Cannes?"

"Yes, the branch of the Jinjiang River is closest to Kancheng. The artillery on the two warships is just right. Plus, the Zhenxi is waiting at the Jinjiang Wharf west of Kancheng. Let them have a taste of my artillery, which will also broaden their horizons."

Cui Ying laughed and said, "That's using your life to gain knowledge."

"Haha, without going through the wind and thunder, how can you see the rainbow?"

Cui Ying nodded heavily: "Yes, General, I will arrange it right away."

Early the next morning, Jing Zhaoheng led his troops to attack.

He has already visited General Qiu Jie.

When Qiu Jie heard about this, he didn't even meet him in person, but only gave Jing Zhaoheng four words.

"It's best to avoid it."

Luo Yunfei was even more straightforward. The command has been handed over to you. You can handle everything.

General Jing Zhaoheng stood on the field and looked forward.

The 60,000 Taisho Imperial Army, like a swarm of ants, covered the entire field.

The original distance was only three miles, but in just three quarters of an hour, 60,000 Taisho Imperial Army troops had surrounded Kancheng.

The cavalry had already discovered that there were no soldiers in Kancheng, and it was an empty city.

Jing Zhaoheng's heart finally settled down.

He really didn't want to fight with Lin Feng. Everyone knew that Lin Feng was a genius and anyone who fought with him would suffer a great loss.

Although he had an absolute advantage in numbers, Jing Zhaoheng couldn't imagine how Lin Feng would fight him.

He waited for a long time, and seeing that there was no disturbance, he rode his warhorse and entered the city from the east gate of Cannes with a thousand guards.

It was obvious that after a carpet search by tens of thousands of imperial guards, there was no trace of any Zhenxi soldiers in Kan City, and there was no idea of ​​an ambush or trap at all.

Jing Zhaoheng urged his horse to the highest watchtower in the city and gazed into the distance.

He wanted to know what Lin Feng was thinking.

Why did they easily hand over Cannes, where they had been stationed for so long, to me?

He won't feel at ease until he understands it.

Jing Zhaoheng looked towards the Jinjiang Wharf in the distance, where the warships of the Zhenxi Army were anchored.

Because the Zhenxi Army's warships are powerful, under the current circumstances, Taisho is simply unable to compete with the Zhenxi Army on the water.

Therefore, he had no intention of competing with the Zhenxi Army for supremacy on the water.

Jing Zhaoheng turned his gaze from the Jinjiang Wharf to the Jinjiang tributary in the south of the city.

More than three miles away, I saw two warships cruising in the middle of the river.

Jing Zhaoheng was still wondering whether these ships were the tools used by Lin Feng to transport the Zhenxi Army to retreat?

Suddenly, he felt something was wrong.

It was wrong for Lin Feng to give up Cannes so easily, and he also let the warships surround Cannes on both sides. What did he want to do?

Before Jing Zhaoheng could figure it out, he saw a flash of white light above the Zhenxi warship far away at the Jinjiang Wharf.

Jing Zhaoheng was shocked: "Oh no, this is the artillery of the Zhenxi Army..."

He turned around and shouted loudly: "Notify everyone to disperse and not gather together..."

Before he could finish his words, he felt the watchtower shake, and then a deafening explosion was heard.

Sixty thousand troops gathered inside and outside the city of Kansas, and the Taisho Imperial Army was everywhere.

If you want to avoid the attack of artillery fire, jumping into the moat may be a good way out.

As the Zhenxi opened fire, two warships anchored in a tributary of the Jinjiang River also opened fire one after another.

A warship had four guns lined up on one side, and two ships had eight guns.

The Zhenxi was a large ship, with fourteen cannons on one side alone.

A total of twenty-two cannons roared at the same time, scattering more than twenty shells inside and outside Cannes.

The 60,000 Taisho Imperial Army suffered a disaster. Such fierce artillery fire left them with nowhere to hide.

There were explosions everywhere, broken limbs and bodies flying everywhere, and blood and flesh flying everywhere.

The Zhenxi Army was also wealthy and powerful, with twenty-two cannons, which they bombarded as if they were free.

The cannon barrels on one side were all fired red, so the warship turned around in the river, aimed the cannons on the other side at Cannes, and continued to bombard it.

Jing Zhaoheng was completely stunned.

He was carried down from the watchtower by guards.

He had just run a few dozen feet when the watchtower behind him was blown into rubble.

The Taisho Imperial Army began to run north of the city.

But sixty thousand people were crowded in front of the city gate and no one could get out.

The soldiers outside the city had already fled, so they were not waiting for the general's orders. The most important thing was to escape.

Countless soldiers swarmed into the fields, each running for their own lives, and no one cared about anyone else.

The three warships of the Zhenxi Army, with a total of 44 cannons on both sides, took turns firing at each other for an hour.

Only after all the gun barrels turned red did they stop firing.

Cui Ying and Gong Sanpao of Xuncheng had each led 8,000 cavalrymen of the Zhenxi Army and rushed towards Kancheng happily.

They split into two directions and began to chase the Taisho Imperial Army.

Among the 60,000 Taisho Imperial Guards, most were infantry and ran slowly.

Moreover, although they were numerous, they could not withstand the impact of the war cavalry. In addition, they had been stunned by the artillery fire and had no power to resist at all.

Sixteen thousand Zhenxi Iron Cavalry were chasing and killing the Taisho Imperial Army in the fields northeast of Kancheng.

Jing Zhaoheng was surrounded by guards and arrived at the moat of Kyoto City east of Kancheng.

This place is far away from Jinjiang Wharf. No matter how good Lin Feng’s artillery is, it is impossible for it to reach here.

Jing Zhaoheng finally dismounted and rested for a while.

"Come here, gather up the scattered soldiers and form a formation on the spot to wait for orders."

There were more than a dozen guards on horseback, who immediately mounted their horses and rushed out to convey the order.

At this time, Lin Feng also brought a hundred guards, got off the Zhenxi, and rode his horse to the front of Kancheng.

This place is like hell on earth, with blood and rocks everywhere.

The broken body was mostly buried under earth and rocks.

Everyone watched with frowns on their faces, their happiness dampened considerably by the tragic scene before them.

Lin Feng shouted in a deep voice: "Notify the military officers and collect battlefield data."

Wen Jian immediately waved his hand and asked the guards to convey the order.

Lin Feng rode his horse into Kancheng and pointed forward.

"Clear the battlefield and eliminate their remaining strength. Do not show any mercy or hesitation. The battle is a matter of life and death."

The guards following Lin Feng responded loudly and urged their horses to rush in all directions.

Lin Feng was accompanied by Pei Qiyin and Qiao Jushan, and a little further away were Wen Jian, Ye Liangcai, Bu Yunting and others.

Pei Qiyin said softly: "General, this battle will let Zhao Zheng know what true strength is."
