Chapter 1211: 1 vs. 2
Before Yu Fuhou could react, he heard another explosion.
Another general seemed to be stunned by the sound; with the explosion, his body leaned back and he tumbled off his horse's rump.
Yu Fuhou quickly pulled hard on the reins of his warhorse to slow it down.
He turned around in surprise to look behind him.
Three hundred cavalrymen also reined in their horses and circled around the two fallen generals.
Yu Fuhou dismounted his warhorse, quickly walked to the two generals, squatted down, and turned one of the generals over.
On the general's forehead, just like Chu Zhanxiong's, was a bloody hole the size of a finger, from which blood was slowly oozing out; he had already died.
The other one is also of the same appearance.
The soldiers on the three hundred cavalry looked at Yu Fuhou in confusion. Their leader was dead, and now it was up to this centurion to decide what to do.
Yu Fuhou turned his head to look at the distance, where the thousand-person team was slowly moving in this direction.
He blinked and felt a chill run down the back of his neck.
The man asked me to make a mark, it turns out he wanted me to be his benchmark. This must be a shotgun from the Zhenxi Army.
What if the shot misses a little?
Not only Fu Hou, but the entire 300-man army stared in astonishment at the two generals who had fallen to their deaths, before turning to look at the approaching thousand-man army.
At that distance, arrows definitely couldn't reach it. Everyone has heard of the Zhenxi Army's shotguns, which are said to be powerful and make a lot of noise.
The explosion just now must have been from this weapon.
That's incredibly sharp; the person was killed before they could even be seen clearly.
Yu Fuhou regained his senses and waved his hand, shouting.
"Be smart, everyone. They are the regent's men from the Great Dynasty. Listen to what they have to say. Anyone who takes action without permission will be shown the best example just now."
No one spoke; they all hung their heads in deep thought.
When Cui Ying led his team closer, he glanced at the two corpses lying on the ground and sighed inwardly, "This Ye Liangcai is truly skilled. He can hit so accurately from such a distance."
The two hundred guards around him were already used to Ye Liangcai's marksmanship and didn't take it seriously.
Yu Fuhou organized the troops and led them into the military camp.
The three hundred guards were all soldiers. Without a leader, they were naturally unable to stop any effective resistance and could only obediently follow the main force into the camp.
Cui Ying finally entered the garrison camp in southern Beijing. He immediately took Lin Feng's gold medal and the prefect's order, organized officers from various departments, retrieved the military accounts, and began to check them in front of everyone.
Ye Liangcai and others also questioned the soldiers separately, mainly about the officers' corruption and whether the soldiers' pay was in place.
The accounts are still being checked, but the soldiers have already raised a multitude of problems.
The main problems were unpaid wages and food, as well as issues with weapons, armor, and equipment, and officers physically abusing and beating soldiers.
Once a problem is verified, the officer in question will be immediately identified, detained in solitary confinement, and await further action.
Because Wei Nanji transferred almost all of his confidants out of the camp in order to deal with Lin Feng, the few remaining generals who tried to resist were killed on the spot.
Other officers who were disliked by Wei Nanji were eager to get to the bottom of the problems within the army.
He was overjoyed to see Wei Nanji's cronies and officers who were eager to curry favor with him being arrested one by one.
The orders given by Cui Ying and others were being carried out more and more smoothly.
Finally, Cui Ying announced the treatment of the Zhenxi Army and reiterated the decision to reorganize the Jingnan garrison into the Zhenxi Army.
Those who wish to stay will be formally organized as part of the Zhenxi Army and enjoy corresponding benefits.
Those who do not wish to stay will receive back pay and travel expenses, and may leave the camp and return home on their own.
The Zhenxi Army was renowned, and everyone knew that it offered generous treatment, had excellent equipment, and was a formidable fighting force, which made them very envious.
Not to mention Lin Feng, the leader of the Zhenxi Army, who was a military god admired by every soldier.
Of the more than 5,000 soldiers in the entire garrison camp south of the capital, fewer than 300 were willing to leave.
Cui Ying dispersed Lin Feng's two hundred guards and his own twenty guards to begin screening and reorganizing the troops stationed in southern Beijing.
She and Gong Sanpao will re-evaluate all officers of the garrison south of Beijing who are centurions or higher.
Yu Fuhou and another centurion assisted the two in conducting the assessment.
Some soldiers began to watch, some gathered to discuss, some argued, some inquired about information, and some were eager to choose their teams...
The entire camp was as bustling as a huge market.
The two carriages arrived at the foot of Yufu Mountain. The mountain road ahead was no longer passable for the carriages, so Lin Feng and the others had to get out and walk up the mountain.
The coachman stayed by the carriage and waited at the foot of the mountain, while the four of them climbed up the stone steps in the mountain.
Wei Nanji was overjoyed. It turned out that all those who had praised Lin Feng to the skies were just spreading rumors and had been deceived.
It now appears that the Grand Regent before us is actually a fool.
Wei Nanji sighed inwardly. He had been busy for a day and a night without rest, carefully selecting and arranging more than 300 military experts, including 100 tough men borrowed from Grand Tutor Wan Quan's manor. With so many people, he felt a sense of loss, as if he were punching the air.
He had spent the entire night carefully selecting an ambush location in the mountains, devising plans to eliminate Lin Feng's guards, how to surround and intercept them, and various remedial measures.
But it turned out he had been overthinking things. There were only two people in front of him, walking alone on the mountain stone steps. They looked so weak that just a dozen or so experts could silently eliminate them in the mountain forest.
From then on, there were no more worries, and one could calmly step onto the ladder to success.
Wei Nanji walked along the mountain path ahead, a smug smile on his face, feeling utterly ridiculous.
As I walked, I looked around and felt incredibly relaxed. My steps became lighter and my mind and body felt refreshed.
He would occasionally turn his head to look at Lin Feng, who was following behind him. Was this gentle-looking, slender young man really the powerful and influential regent?
If that's the case, with my abilities, wouldn't I also be able to get a prince title?
As Wei Nanji climbed higher and higher up the stone steps, he saw a huge boulder lying crookedly on the side of the mountain path.
This is the first ambush point after entering the mountain, and also a checkpoint to prevent Lin Feng from escaping down the mountain after discovering something amiss.
Wei Nanji even thought that he should just take action right here and capture Lin Feng in one fell swoop, so as to save himself the trouble later.
However, as soldiers, execution is paramount, and the original plan must be followed. Although things have changed slightly, there is no need to arbitrarily alter the plan.
Lin Feng was skilled, and the huge man behind him was not to be underestimated.
To be on the safe side, we must wait until we are inside the ambush zone, where Grand Tutor Wan Quan's hundred experts will surround and eliminate the target.
What changes will occur?
Wei Nanji's lips curled into a cold smile.
One hundred masters can only defeat two people.
It's laughable just thinking about it.
He maintained his speed, his feet firmly planted on the stone steps.
Lin Feng's consciousness spread out and he felt a slight change in Wei Nanji's heart rate, which made him realize that there was something mysterious about this place.
In his mind, nearly a hundred men were hidden around the winding stone steps, carrying steel knives and bows and arrows, about ten feet away from the stone steps.
Lin Feng looked up and saw that Wei Nanji was steadily climbing upwards without any intention of launching an attack, so he knew that there was an ambush in the mountains.
These people are likely to be the rearguard.
