Chapter 604 Doesn’t the Thunder Cost Money?
Chapter 604 Doesn’t the Thunder Cost Money?
Lin Feng waited for a while and could only shake his head.
"I knew it wouldn't be so easy to take the city. Go inform Wang Qian and bring 10,000 light cavalry across the river to attack the city."
Zhao Shuo immediately signaled two guards to take Lin Feng's badge, lead their war horses off the boat, and gallop towards Shanglin Prefecture.
Seeing teams of men in black clothes and black scarves surging onto the city wall, we knew that Tongshengfu City was also controlled by the Black Scarf Society.
Lin Feng calculated the time. It would probably take two days for the order to be conveyed to the king and for the team to be assembled and come to Tongsheng City.
"Move the boat to the left of the river and anchor it directly opposite the north gate of the city."
The soldiers immediately became busy and the warships began to move slowly to the south bank of the Jin River.
Lin Feng was afraid that the Black Scarf Society members would rush out of the city gate without regard for their lives and harass the warships.
Although he was not afraid, he did not want to cause trouble. There were so many members of the Black Scarf Society, and he only had a few hundred soldiers.
Kill them endlessly.
After the warship stopped steadily on the south bank of the river, Lin Feng asked someone to get a fishing rod and a chair, and went to the deck to start fishing.
This situation made the Black Scarf Society members in the city stunned.
Hall Master Yu frowned and stared at the warship, not knowing what to do for a moment.
He also wanted to open the city and send people to drive them away, but he knew that they could not pose any threat to the Zhenxi No. 1 because of the wide river.
He had no choice but to order all soldiers to be on high alert and be vigilant to any unusual movements outside the city at any time.
After receiving Lin Feng's order, Wang Qian immediately gathered his troops and crossed the Jinjiang River from the front of Shanglin Prefecture.
Ten thousand light cavalry galloped along the north bank of Jinjiang River.
They traveled day and night, and in less than two days, they arrived at the city of Tongsheng Prefecture.
In the past few days, Master Yu has been nervously observing the situation outside the city, arranging the Black Scarf Society and 5,000 palace soldiers to take turns patrolling the city.
The shifts are very close together, with almost no gaps left.
This also made the soldiers and the Black Scarf Society very tired.
It was not until dawn on the third day that a large group of Zhenxi cavalry were seen pouring in and covering the entire northern coast of the city.
The soldiers on the city wall suddenly became nervous, and countless members of the Black Scarf Society and the palace army spread out along the north wall of the city.
Various defensive tools and weapons have been prepared.
Bows and arrows, rolling logs, pounding stones, hot water, boiling oil...
Everything that could be used was put on the wall.
Seeing that Wang Qian's troops had arrived, Lin Feng immediately ordered his guards to cross the river and notified Wang Qian to prepare for the attack.
Wang Qian led 10,000 light cavalry, but was also stunned when facing the high and thick city walls.
How to break the city?
He was even more confused when he received Lin Feng's order, which only asked him to wait for the attack.
On the warship, Lin Feng pointed at the city gate and explained to Xi Niang.
"Have the gunners bombard the city gates and the two chain capstans pulling the drawbridge. They must all bombard accurately."
Xi Niang immediately understood Lin Feng's combat intention.
Use artillery to open the city gates and blow down the drawbridge.
Make it impossible for the other side to use city defense tools.
Once the city gate is breached, the drawbridge is brought down.
All the city defense weapons they prepared will become useless.
With the mission in hand, Xi Niang went down into the cabin and carefully studied the distance and target with several artillery operators.
Several people felt that this was not something that could be accomplished with just two or three shots, and it was estimated that at least six to ten shots would be needed to achieve the desired goal.
Lin Feng did not require them to fire a certain number of shots.
So, several people quickly decided on a bombardment plan and began to prepare.
A soldier ran to the top of the ship to report that all work was ready.
Lin Feng waved his hand: "Let's start."
After saying that, he found two balls of cloth and stuffed them into his ears.
The previous two runs caused tinnitus in my ears, and it wasn’t until two days later that I felt better.
Pei Qiyin and Zhao Shuo followed suit and plugged their ears with cloth.
This kind of close-range artillery fire is very harmful to the eardrum, especially for Pei Qiyin, who has very high requirements for hearing.
The eardrum must not be damaged in any way.
Lin Feng did not forbid others from learning from him, but also informed all soldiers that it would be best to protect their ears to avoid injury.
After the order was passed on, the gunner completed the reloading.
The fire starter ignited the cannon fuse, and as the ship sank, a loud explosion sounded.
Huge flames burst out from the four gun holes on the left side of the Zhenxi almost at the same time.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom."
Four explosions caused the tall and thick city walls to shake continuously.
The people standing on the city wall were shaken and swayed from side to side, unable to stand steadily.
Four shells accurately hit the thick city gate, blasting two huge holes in the tall wooden gate.
Hall Master Yu was confused. Doesn’t the Zhenxi Army’s thunder come for free?
Why is it never-ending?
He thought that the two bombings a few days ago were over.
Even if Lin Feng casts a spell, there should be a limit, right?
But at this moment, his entire worldview collapsed.
Is there really such a powerful magic in this world?
The Virgin Mary, whom he worshipped devoutly, had never cast such a powerful spell, which subtly influenced people's inner thoughts.
I have never seen such violent divine punishment.
While Hall Master Yu was in a daze, a deafening explosion was heard again on the Jinjiang warship.
Four more bombardments completely blew the wooden city gate into pieces.
The chain winch on the city wall was also blown into pieces.
The suspension bridge then fell.
Wang Qian finally understood what Lin Feng’s combat intention was, and the road ahead was clear.
Facing the Zhenxi cavalry, there is no longer any obstacle.
Wang Qian was even more confident. In this world, no team could stop the attack of the Zhenxi Iron Cavalry.
With his loud shout, ten thousand cavalrymen started to move.
The vanguard troops have rushed across the drawbridge and entered the north gate of Tongsheng City.
Like an iron stream, ten thousand Zhenxi cavalrymen entered one after another.
The Black Scarf Society members and the government troops on the city wall were dumbfounded. They had just woken up from their daze and stared at the iron torrent below the city wall with their mouths wide open, motionless.
Hall Master Yu shouted loudly: "Everyone, go down to the city immediately, surround and kill the Zhenxi Army, don't let any of them go, kill, kill, kill!"
The government troops on the city wall were still hesitating, but the members of the Black Scarf Society heard the order and immediately rushed down to the city wall with swords and guns in hand.
They carried out the orders of the hall master without any compromise.
Even if there is a sea of fire and a mountain of swords before us, we will move forward courageously.
Unfortunately, their bravery is real, but it is also true that their fighting ability is poor.
Faced with the Zhenxi cavalry, whose individual soldier quality was almost unmatched in the world, they were powerless to resist.
The slightest contact would lead to ruthless trampling under the iron hoofs.
Although they are numerous, they are far inferior to the real Black Turban Army.
The Zhenxi Iron Cavalry entered the city gate smoothly with almost no pressure and extended in all directions.
Many members of the Black Scarf Society were beheaded outside the city. The soldiers of the government army had already abandoned their weapons and fled in all directions, each looking for people to hide in.
The battle was over in less than half an hour.
The leader of the Black Scarf Society, Yu, was shot by a crossbow from some unknown team and turned into a hedgehog, falling at the foot of the city wall.
The entire battle can be described as a crushing victory.
It fully demonstrated the immense power of the Zhenxi Iron Cavalry.
Lin Feng and others calmed down the fighting in the city, and then led a group of guards into the gate of Tongsheng Prefecture.
