Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 515: Siege of Tianzhi City

"No matter what he does, we will attack him with our entire army today and try to destroy him in one fell swoop."

The bull clenched his fist and waved it forward.

Su Zhongwang sighed, "We need to change our formation this time. Use 500 men per square and attack in a dispersed manner. Don't crowd together and give Lin Feng an opportunity to take advantage."

"Yes, we were careless yesterday and let this guy take advantage of the opportunity. This time we will attack him from three sides, making it difficult for him to defend both ends."

Niu Xiangqian was no longer so arrogant. He knew that if he failed again, he would lose everything.

The two were discussing strategies to deal with the enemy when suddenly a scout came to report.

"Report, General, the Zhenxi Army camp has disappeared."

"Huh? Gone?"

The two were confused for a moment and looked at each other.

Su Zhongwang immediately reacted: "They went to Tianzhi Prefecture City and wanted to take over the city to fight against us."

Niu Xiangqian became excited: "Lin Feng is scared. He knows that he can't stop us with just one camp. Well, when he attacks the city, we will destroy him at the foot of the city."

Su Zhongwang turned and shouted to the Rangers, "Release all the Rangers and find the location of the Zhenxi Army as soon as possible."

The soldier answered loudly, turned around and ran away.

"Let's go, everyone gather and head towards Tianzhifu City."

Su Zhongwang was very decisive.

Niu Xiangqian knew that the matter was urgent, so he stopped talking and stood up and followed Su Zhongwang out of the military tent.

The entire camp of 70,000 people was urgently summoned by the leaders of each tribe and set out in teams.

This place is less than 200 miles away from Tianzhi Prefecture City. If the infantry marches quickly, they can arrive there within a day.

Under the supervision of the two leaders, the 70,000-strong army arrived ten miles away from Tianzhi City before sunset.

According to the two generals' intention, they had to rush into Tianzhifu City within one day.

Unfortunately, the highly regarded cavalry had already reported back that the Zhenxi Army had captured the Tianzhi Prefecture City.

As the sky grew darker, 70,000 people had no choice but to set up camp on the spot.

Su Zhongwang rode his horse to the front of Niu Xiangqian's team and waved to Niu Xiangqian to let him step out.

"Lin Feng has already taken over Tianzhi City. It's strange, how could it be so fast?"

Niu Xiangqian was also puzzled. He looked at the tall city from afar with a look of confusion.

"Even if we were to attack the city, with our 70,000 troops, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to take it within three days."

Su Zhongwang shook his head. "If the soldiers on the city walls hold their ground, we can capture the city within ten days, let alone three. That would be considered a classic example of battle."

"What should we do now?"

"The Zhenxi Army only has 30,000 soldiers. If we surround them, we can block their path south."

Niu Xiangqian didn't think that being surrounded would be enough.

"We have to find a way to destroy the Zhenxi Army. Is King Fu someone who can be easily fooled?"

"It's difficult to attack a city with 30,000 defenders, so why destroy them?"

"Surround the four city gates and starve them to death!"

Niu Xiangqian also felt that it was difficult to destroy the Zhenxi Army, so he had to vent his emotions fiercely.

Su Zhongwang waved his hand and said: "It's getting late today. Tomorrow we will divide our forces and besiege the four cities."

Early the next morning, the 70,000-strong army was divided into four teams, each of which sealed the four gates of Tianzhi City.

Especially at the South Gate, 20,000 troops were deployed to prevent the Zhenxi Army from breaking through this gate and entering the Lindu Prefecture.

No matter how many troops you have, even if it is only three or two thousand cavalry, once you enter the ground of Lindu, you will disturb King Fu.

King Fu was frightened and angry, so they had no chance of being generals anymore.

They also knew their own limitations and did not attack the city, but simply blocked the city gate and confronted the Zhenxi Army.

Lin Feng quickly asked people to prepare materials and continue making the thunder.

Other engineers began to busy themselves with repairing weapons, armor and tanks.

The entire team entered a rest period and took turns going up to the city wall to do defensive work.

The two sides were in a stalemate.

They stayed here for five or six days.

In Kuncheng, Grand Tutor Wan received a report that 30,000 troops of the Zhenxi Army were surrounded in Tianzhifu City.

When the Zhenxi Army defeated 100,000 rebels, the entire Imperial Guard celebrated for a day.

For this purpose, Grand Tutor Wan ordered people to slaughter pigs and sheep, and also distributed wine to officers above the rank of captain.

Everyone felt that they had hope and the hope to survive again.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and the Zhenxi Army was blocked in the city by the rebels.

When General Jiao Sanqiang heard the news, he sneered.

"At the time, I said the Zhenxi Army was unreliable. They only brought 30,000 men. Who were they trying to show off to?"

General Zhao Wenqi shook his head and sighed.

"Alas, he is young after all and has not had much combat experience."

General Ju Chaoyue didn't waste any time and asked directly.

"Grandmaster, we should send troops to relieve their predicament."

Jiao Sanqiang glared and said, "Are we still going to defend the city? There are hundreds of thousands of rebels under the city. They are no more miserable than him."

Grand Tutor Wan also threw the report in his hand onto the desk.

"I really don't know if they are here to rescue people or to fill the blockage."

Zhao Wenqi quickly waved to the generals.

"Let's all go and keep an eye on it. What's the difference between the Zhenxi Army being trapped in Tianzhi City and being trapped in Jingdu Weicheng?"

General Wei Ming of the Chariots and Cavalry bowed and said, "The Zhenxi Army may not be able to defeat the 100,000 rebels, but they have at least held them back, relieving the pressure on us."

No one responded to his words, and no one refuted them, because it was the truth.

Everyone turned around and walked out the door in deep thought.

Indeed, even if Lin Feng’s Zhenxi Army was rescued, they would still be trapped here.

It's just a waste of time.

At the same time, Prince Rui Zhao Xun also received news that the Zhenxi Army was trapped in Tianzhi Prefecture City.

In Chengde Hall, Emperor Zhao Zhen frowned and sat behind the dragon desk with a gloomy expression.

Because Lin Feng led the Zhenxi Army into Beijing to quell the rebellion, he made an exception and did not drink for nearly ten days, and finally sobered up for a few days.

Two days ago, the emperor was overjoyed when he received the news that the Zhenxi Army, with 30,000 troops, had defeated 100,000 rebels.

I was thinking about how to reward Lin Feng.

He received such bad news again today, which made him very unhappy.

Zhao Xun, who was standing beside the dragon desk, was also nervous.

The rebels had 70,000 troops and trapped the 30,000 Zhenxi troops in the city. It was obviously not easy for them to break out.

Prime Minister Han Qi stood at the bottom, head bowed and silent.

Also standing in the hall were Minister of War Tang Bingqian and Vice Minister of Revenue Lin Cangshi.

This time there was an additional imperial envoy, Cai Lantian, who had been resting at home due to illness a few days ago.

Of course, it is also possible that he received the news that the Zhenxi Army was entering the capital, and felt that there was hope for the Dazong court, so he returned to the emperor.

A few days ago, when the Zhenxi Army bravely defeated 100,000 rebels, a few ministers showed up in front of the emperor.

At this time, he disappeared again.

Lin Cangshi sighed when he saw that the emperor looked unhappy.

"I've always said that Lin Feng is not very reliable. How capable can a young boy like him be?"

King Rui glared and said, "If you have the guts, take 30,000 men out of the city and confront the 100,000 rebels."

Lin Cangshi shrank his neck and stopped talking.

Prince Rui glanced at everyone in the hall and then turned around.

"Brother, let's wait and see how Lin Feng responds. I believe he can handle these 70,000 rebels."

Tang Bingqian frowned and said, "Perhaps we caught the rebels off guard at the beginning. Once they settle down, the disparity in numbers will make this battle difficult."

He is an old general who has spent his whole life in the military. It is difficult for others to refute his opinions on the battlefield.
