Chapter 238: The Battle of Qinshui City (1)
After a simple day of rectification, Qi Dangdang and Zhang Jian led 200,000 iron cavalry, and the soldiers pointed directly at Tianyong City.
Lin Feng and He Xiaomei's beast camp rushed towards Qinshui City with great momentum.
Batu, Yin Ziwen and other remnants of the defeated generals had just fled to Qinshui City, and before they had time to take a breath, the 300,000 army had already arrived in the city.
The elite troops of Qin Shuicheng have basically been defeated twice by Batu, a loser. At present, the only thing that can be regarded as elite in the city is the personal guard of the king of Qinshui County, but there are only 30,000 people.
All kinds of other old, weak, sick and disabled people, taken together, barely enough to make up 200,000. However, less than one-third of these 200,000 troops can have combat effectiveness.
However, Qinshui City is a strong city, and it completely occupies the advantage of geographical advantages, so it can barely fight.
However, Lin Feng was besieging but not attacking, outside the city gate all day long, beating drums and waving flags, and from time to time he also let the dragon scale iron ride around the city for sightseeing.
Lin Feng's strange behavior made Ba Shanhe, Batu, Yin Ziwen and others quite depressed.
Let's go out of the city to fight, they are outnumbered and demoralized, and they are not the opponents of Lin Feng's department at all.
But if you don't fight, the enemy will be dangling back and forth under your nose all day long, eating and sleeping in fear, this day is really too torturous.
Of course, in addition to Ba Shanhe and others, there are also He Xiaomei.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, when Lin Feng was staring at the topographic map of Qinshui City, He Xiaomei broke in with a menacing attitude.
Before Lin Feng could speak, He Xiaomei asked angrily: "General, it has been three days since the siege of the city, why haven't you given the order to storm yet?" ”
Lin Feng knew that He Xiaomei was eager for revenge, so he pretended to smile mysteriously and said, "It's not time yet!" ”
He Xiaomei's nose was about to be crooked, and she asked angrily; "Then when do you say it's time?"
"Now that our army has won a new victory, its morale is booming, and it is just right to take Qinshui City in one go, and if it continues like this, the morale will have to be consumed sooner or later."
Lin Feng pondered for a moment, and waited for He Xiaomei to calm down a little, then asked with a smile: "Miss He, I know you are eager for revenge, but if you are in a hurry, it will only backfire." ”
He Xiaomei was poked by Lin Feng, and it was hard to say anything more, but on her expression, there were still three big words of unconvinced.
Seeing this scene, Lin Feng continued to ask, "Miss He has lived in Qinshui City for generations, so she should know that this is a strong city, right?" ”
He Xiaomei saw Lin Feng ask a nonsense, but she still nodded instinctively and responded, "Well, that's good!" ”
"But what's the matter, my beast camp is looking down, even if it is impregnable, it can be attacked."
Facing He Xiaomei's aggressive momentum, Lin Feng smiled coldly again and asked, "Dare to ask Miss He, how many people are left in your beast camp?" ”
He Xiaomei was stunned when she heard this, and responded: "More than 2,400 people." ”
"Then, according to what you said, how many people will be left after storming Qinshui City?"
"This, this, this ......" He Xiaomei was speechless for a while, not knowing how to respond.
Although the combat effectiveness of the beast battalion is extremely strong, the stone chariots on the city wall are by no means vegetarian.
Not to mention that there is no 100% certainty, you can take Qinshui City in one fell swoop, even if you are 10% sure. At that time, I'm afraid that her beast camp will also exist in name only!
"How is it possible to fight without casualties, is it going on like this? The grain and grass hoarded in Qinshui City is enough for the people inside to eat for three years, can we afford three years? Although He Xiaomei's momentum still looks very domineering, her tone is obviously much weaker.
Lin Feng shook his head with a smile and responded, "Even if their grain and grass can last for thirty years, what then? We kept tossing and turning day and night, and the people inside were panicked, and Bashanhe, Batu and others couldn't sleep well, and in less than three months, they would collapse on their own. ”
Hearing Lin Feng's words, He Xiaomei suddenly realized.
The reason why she spoke in such an impulsive tone just now was because she was eager for revenge. Now that she has the best of both worlds, she can take revenge and keep the beast camp intact, how can she not like it?
Although it is said that it will take a while, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, let alone three months! 、
Lin Feng saw that her expression was no longer angry, so he handed over another letter and said, "Qi Dare When they have captured Tianyun City, they will join us in two days." At that time, the pressure on Qin Shui City will at least double again, and the day when the city will be broken is just around the corner! ”
He Xiaomei pondered for a moment and responded: "The Seven Kings of the Northwest have reached an alliance, and Yishui County, Shanggu County, and Longyang County, which border Qinshui County, will not watch Qinshui City being captured by us, at that time, what should we do?" ”
Lin Feng did not answer directly, but pointed to the topographic map, and responded: "If they come, the geographical advantage is on our side, and we will wait for work and besiege the city to send reinforcements." They should be worried. ”
What He Xiaomei said was right, on the third day of Lin Feng's siege, Shanggu County, Yishui County, and Longyang County successively received letters of help from Bashanhe.
Under the temptation of huge interests, Shanggu County and Yishui County successively sent reinforcements to rescue.
Among them, Shanggu County was led by the general Gou Wei with 100,000 elite soldiers, and they rushed up from Shanggu with great momentum.
Yishui County also has an army of 100,000, but they are taking the waterway, passing through Yishui to reach the Qinshui River, intending to sneak attack Lin Feng's department behind them.
However, Longyang County, the most powerful county, has not heard of sending troops to help for some reason.
In the main hall of Longyang Mansion, it has become a pot of porridge at this time.
Among the nine counties in the northwest, the combat effectiveness of the Longyang Iron Cavalry is probably invincible except for the Tiger Ben Iron Cavalry of Tianyuan County.
And even if they fight for overall combat effectiveness, they can rank in the top three.
According to common sense, whether it is out of support for their allies or their own security considerations, they have already sent troops to rescue Qinshui City.
At this time, even a fool would be able to figure out that once Qin Shuicheng was captured, Lin Feng's next target would most likely be their Longyang County.
Those generals and strategists who advocate standing still are naturally not fools.
Naturally, they advocate standing still, for their own reasons.
The reason for this is that there was a fire in their backyard.
The Zhu family, which has always been hostile to the Long family, came out of nowhere. In just three months, it has become a spark and a prairie fire, and seven of the sixty-nine cities in Longyang County are already under their control.
If the Longyang Iron Cavalry is sent to rescue Qinshui City, the Zhu family's army, which has lost the deterrence of the Longyang Iron Cavalry, will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to attack the city and plunder the land. At that time, even if they succeeded in rescuing, it would be more than worth the loss to repel Lin Feng's army.
But if you don't send Longyang Iron Cavalry to the rescue, the tired army will be the opponent of the official army who is waiting for work, and if you go, you will just be sent to death in vain.
Just when Longyang Mansion was noisy, in the secluded back garden, a young woman was sitting on a swing, bored thinking about the past.
Naturally, this girl is none other than Fluttershy!
I saw her gently open her sleeves and gently stroke her tender arms.
Since the last time I came back, the Shoumiya sand on my arm has disappeared.
That night, it seemed that Lin Feng sent her back, but the specific experience, her mind was so big that she couldn't think of it, what happened that night?
Could it be that his virgin body is really gone, and he has taken it away?
But he didn't seem to be the kind of person who took advantage of people's danger, and according to the third grandfather, he didn't admit it until the end that night.
But if it weren't for him, who would it be, or was there something else hidden in it?
Thinking of the headache, Fluttershy pats her head lightly, trying to interrupt her thoughts in this way.
I don't know what happened to him now, is he still alive?
Although she has no memory of what happened that night. However, I also learned the general story of the incident from the third grandfather and the maid servants who were present at the time.
At that time, his cultivation was not yet at the level of a martial artist, how could he escape the joint pursuit of his eldest brother and the Baili family, he must have been dead for a long time.
However, the Baili family and the Long family, in the past six months or so, have sent a large number of people to look for him, but their bodies have not been found.
It is said that this time, the general sent by the imperial court to quell the rebellion, his name is also Lin Feng, and he is also the champion of this imperial martial arts, could it be him?
The idea just popped into Fluttershy's head, and she vetoed it right away.
Half a year ago, he was not yet at the level of a martial artist, even if he was a genius who had not been encountered in a thousand years, in just half a year, it would never be possible to win the championship in the imperial martial arts where the pride of the sky and the saints gathered. Not to mention, as the commander of the three armies, to quell the rebellion of the Seven Kings in the Northwest.
Just as Fluttershy was thinking wildly, a soft cough came over her, interrupting her reverie.
Long Xiaodie looked for prestige, and when she saw that it was her third grandfather, Long Kong, she immediately stood up and greeted with a smile: "Third grandfather, why are you here?" ”
Seeing that Fluttershy was staring at her right arm just now, Long Kong mistakenly thought that she was still worried about the affairs of Shougong Sha, so he immediately stroked her silver-white beard lightly and said, "Fluttershy, are you still worried about Shougong Sha?" ”
Fluttershy was in a state of confusion for a while, and she didn't know where to start in a short period of time. Just as he meant, he nodded instinctively.
Long Kong gently stroked his silver-white beard again, and replied with a smile, "Fluttershy, your palace sand is still there, don't worry about it!" ”
