Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 491: No Big Success

Grand Tutor Wan raised three fingers: "Thirty thousand cavalrymen."

Originally, everyone looked up and looked at Grand Tutor Wan with expectation.

But when he heard that there were only 30,000 troops, he immediately became listless and lost interest.

Only the military advisor Luan Shui gently patted his palms with a folding fan.

"I heard that Qingshui Linfeng drove the Tartars out of the Zhenxi border and even penetrated deep into the Tiezhen territory, capturing two cities in a row. His military exploits are outstanding and should not be underestimated."

General Jiao Sanqiang looked disdainful.

"The west of the town is remote and barren, and there are always strange rumors. Don't believe them."

Luan Shui smiled and said, "I can't believe it completely, but I can't disbelieve it either. Since there are such rumors, they are not groundless."

Zhao Wenqi shook his head. "It's said that Lin Feng is only in his early twenties, a young man who hasn't even grown a hair yet. How can that be convincing?"

General Ju Chaoyue clasped his fists.

"Regardless of his abilities, he still dared to lead his troops into Beijing to quell the national crisis. I admire his courage and loyalty."

Grand Tutor Wan stroked his beard and nodded appreciatively.

"Chao Yue is right. I am indeed curious as to why this brat dared to show up at this time. Isn't he afraid of being wiped out by the rebels?"

Luan Shui pondered and said, "I heard that Lin Feng's Qingshui Army is good at using chariots and heavy armor. Uh... Also, he can summon thunder to aid in battle."

Zhao Wenqi sneered: "Let's not talk about anything else. Mr. Luan also believes in this matter of thunder?"

Before Luan Shui could speak, Grand Tutor Wan looked serious.

"On the battlefield, what counts is courage, martial prowess, and the correct deployment of troops by the generals. Avoid these crooked tactics; they will never achieve great things."

Seeing that the Grand Tutor had made his decision, no one dared to argue anymore.

General Wei Ming, who had been silent all this time, spoke at this moment.

"I wonder if you generals have heard that Lin Feng's Qingshui Army wiped out 70,000 to 80,000 Black Scarf Army soldiers. How can we underestimate them?"

Jiao Sanqiang waved his hand and said, "Hey, I've heard about this before. It's said that the Black Turban Army's 70,000 troops are just a collection of a motley crew of Black Turban Society members. They have no fighting power at all. If I were to have only 10,000 men, I could slaughter this rabble."

Grand Tutor Wan half-closed his eyes.

"The three strong men need to change their arrogant tempers. We've fought against both the Black Scarf Army and the Black Scarf Society. They're relentless and fearless, and they're indeed formidable."

Jiao Sanqiang bowed and said yes, but he was not convinced in his heart, but he did not dare to speak in defense.

Grand Tutor Wan glanced at everyone.

"No matter what, Lin Feng has set a good example for the various prefectures and states of the great clan. Perhaps it can inspire others to serve their country and join the Jingnan Campaign, which is a good thing."

Everyone bowed their heads in agreement.

Luan Shui said softly, "Thirty thousand cavalrymen can at least attract some of the rebels' forces, which can also slightly reduce the pressure on Kyoto."

Zhao Wenqi still looked worried.

"There are over 200,000 rebels. Even if we mobilize 50,000 troops, we won't feel any relief here."

Grand Tutor Wan waved his hand and said, "All parties must intensify their defenses and fight the rebels to the death. This is the only way to live up to His Majesty's expectations."

"Here!"

At the same time, Prince Fu Zhao Zheng, who was in Luocheng, also received news that the Qingshui Army was about to enter Beijing to quell the rebellion.

Immediately summon the Black Scarf Society leader Miao Changfeng and military advisor Lan Yu.

Lan Yu knew about Lin Feng.

He once strongly advocated in front of King Fu, requesting that a large army be sent to eliminate Lin Feng before he grew up.

Unexpectedly, it was rejected by Fu Wang and Miao Changfeng.

This time, when he heard that Lin Feng brought 30,000 Qingshui troops into Beijing to quell the rebellion, he immediately frowned.

Miao Changfeng didn't care much and spoke casually.

"Your Highness, don't worry. Just send another 50,000-man force to eliminate this little thief along the way."

King Fu glanced at him and asked, "Do you still have troops?"

"Your Highness, the Black Scarf Society has countless members. Even if we gather them together, there are more than 50,000 of them."

Lan Yu quickly stopped him: "Boss Miao, how can the Black Scarf Society be a match for Lin Feng? We suffered a great loss last time, so don't underestimate him again."

Prince Fu frowned and said, "All my elite troops have been sent to Kyoto. Where can I find any extra troops?"

Miao Changfeng said disdainfully: "Mr. Lan is too cautious. Otherwise, how about giving him a round number, 100,000?"

Lan Yu still shook his head. "Don't belittle the Black Scarf Society. They are just peddlers and hawkers. How can they be compared with the Iron Blood Army?"

"Do you look down on my Black Scarf Congregation?"

Miao Changfeng was unwilling.

Lan Yu quickly waved his hands: "Miao Boss's Black Scarf Society is indeed powerful. If they are allowed into the city, they will cause chaos among the people and no one will be able to stop them."

Miao Changfeng's expression eased a little.

"However, when it comes to deploying troops and charging into battle, we still have to rely on regular troops."

Lan Yu then spoke the following words.

Miao Changfeng snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Prince Fu pondered for a moment and said, "Tell Luo Yunfei to withdraw 50,000 troops from the troops besieging Kyoto to stop and destroy the Qingshui Army."

Lan Yu nodded, admiring King Fu's decisiveness.

This is the style of a great general, who never underestimates any team.

Although the war has been going smoothly these days, the Blue Territory has not relaxed its understanding of Zhenxi.

Knowing that Lin Feng's Qingshui Army had unified Zhenxi, they drove the Tartars out of the country.

They even captured two Tatar cities.

Lan Yu was amazed that a young boy could achieve such a record.

I'm afraid they really overlooked a rising hero, a strategic genius who might be able to shake up King Fu and the Black Turban Army.

It turned out that when he went to win over Lin Feng for King Fu, he did not offer very high conditions.

After being rejected by Lin Feng, I didn't feel much regret.

He didn't expect that in such a short period of time, Lin Feng had already achieved such results, which made him look at him with admiration and even call it a mistake.

Luo Yunfei is the general under King Fu, commanding 110,000 troops.

Together with Qiu Jie, the commander of the 150,000 Black Turban Army, he besieged Kyoto.

After receiving the order from King Fu, Luo Yunfei immediately discussed the matter of sending troops with Qiu Jie.

Miao Changfeng also gave Qiu Jie an order, asking him to cooperate with Luo Yunfei to send troops to wipe out the Qingshui Army.

Luo Yunfei did not take the Qingshui Army seriously at all and felt that sending 50,000 troops was an overreaction.

"Qiu Shuai, how about our family contributing 15,000 people and making up 30,000?"

Qiu Jie was even more arrogant, and his Black Scarf Army was unstoppable all the way.

Even the large number of regular imperial guards were beaten badly by him.

Not to mention the Qingshui Army in a remote village.

"Haha, General Luo is overly flattering them. Why would we need 30,000? In my opinion, 10,000 troops each would be enough."

Luo Yunfei was an orthodox soldier after all, and felt that this was not rigorous enough.

You can underestimate your opponent, but you cannot underestimate your opponent too much tactically.

He shook the letter in his hand and said, "General Qiu, we still have to obey the prince's orders. Reducing the amount by 20,000 is already a risk."

Qiu Jie sneered: "Our mission is to take over Kyoto City as soon as possible. As for the clear water and muddy water, they are not within our scope of attention."

Luo Yunfei was also in a dilemma. In this war, the Black Scarf Army had always been the main force.

His 110,000 troops were always assigned the task of assisting in the attack.

Of course, this is also what King Fu meant.

Try to minimize your own team's casualties.
