Chapter Seventy-Four: It's Time I Don't Let You Go!
At this moment, the contrast between the forces inside and outside the fort has changed significantly:
Outside the fort, after continuous battles, as many as 2,500 tribal soldiers had lost four or five hundred at the peak, nearly 1,000 Tujia soldiers were pulled away by Zhao Ye, and the remaining tribal soldiers were only about 1,000 people, and they were all already cowardly and retreating.
In the fort, Lin Feng originally had twenty brothers and nearly two hundred guards, and after the battle began, there were not many attritions, but now there are more than two hundred elite warriors and more than forty cavalry, and there is a danger of the fort to defend. Even if Lin Feng didn't consider the soldiers of Ma Xixu's department outside the city, he was basically invincible now.
Therefore, when Panlong ignored the unfavorable factors of the confrontation between the infantry and the cavalry, and rushed forward without formation and strategy, the result was just as effective as the most difficult effect of their siege of Lin Feng, becoming an unpalatable "sandwich rice": he and a cadre of guards did cut down three cavalrymen, but in the face of the follow-up cavalry that rushed up regardless of it, he had to retreat quickly, and also left the corpses of six personal guards and ten tribal soldiers on the way of the cavalry's advance.
Panlong was woken up by such a bloody reality, quickly evacuated from the gate of Kaifu Fort, and began to form a queue in the distance, waiting for the battle.
The cavalry group rushed twice in a row, and also lost its sharpness. Under the command of Cheng Yuehai, three rows of long snake formations were formed outside the palace wall directly south.
The battlefield has temporarily fallen into a situation of balanced confrontation.
After Lin Feng met Wei San, Li Congqian, and the elite soldiers of Wuchang, they hugged each other excitedly and celebrated the meeting. Seeing that his own strength has increased greatly, the people in the fort are naturally settled.
At this time, Lin Feng couldn't help but sneer when he saw the confrontation scene under the mansion wall again. If you don't divide your forces to block the city at the beginning, all the tribal soldiers will attack with all your might, and you may really destroy yourself in one fell swoop, but until now, Panlong will never have this opportunity!
At this point, not only Lin Feng saw it, but the three leaders of the Miao, Dong, and She tribes also felt that it was difficult to control the situation, and walked to Panlong's side to discuss in a low voice to see if it was time to withdraw the troops quickly.
Panlong immediately became furious and shouted wildly: "Forgive Na Ma Xicao for not daring to attack Tanzhou City, withdraw half of the soldiers defending the city back, gather the cavalry, and if we attack again, we will definitely be able to kill Lin Feng!" ”
Lei Shanming, the head of the She clan, looked back at behind him, there were only three guards left, and they were all colored, and he also regretted it in his heart, how good it was to leave with Zhao Ye just now!
Li Tai, the leader of the Miao clan, stepped forward, gritted his teeth and said, "Or, we will attack with fire and burn the fort?" ”
As soon as this bad idea came out, even the bored Pan Long laughed angrily and said angrily: "What did you do earlier?" At this time, if you attack with fire, can your torches rush through the range of the opponent's bow and arrow, can you throw them into the fort through the cavalry, or can the opponent wait for you to attack? ”
Mrs. Li, who was ugly once, retreated in disgust, and secretly scolded Panlong in his heart, if you have the ability, you can take the fort, what kind of wisdom and martial arts you pretend!
On the wall of the mansion, looking at the tribal soldiers who were in difficulty, Lin Feng, who was full of smiles, pulled Li Congqian over, pointed in the direction of the tribal soldiers, and asked Li Congqian what he would do next if he was the current leader of the tribal army?
Through the communication just now, Lin Feng had already learned that Li Congqian had left a note for Ma Xixu and threatened to kill him in the city as soon as possible, and he was more and more optimistic about this smart and brave Ninth Highness.
Li Congqian, like a little adult, pondered for a while with his hands behind his back, and said: "The matter of besieging Lord Lin has been leaked, even if you can kill everyone in the Huang Mansion now, it will be useless." If I were Panlong, I would immediately give an order to let all the tribal soldiers scatter out of the city overnight and quietly return to Chen, Li and other prefectures, and I myself will be guilty now, please Lord Lin only punish and blame me! ”
Lin Feng smiled and patted Li Congqian's shoulder with satisfaction. Sure enough, it is worthy of His Royal Highness the Nine, and he can think of sacrificing himself to protect all the soldiers. Yes, as long as the soldiers are still there, the strength of the tribe is there, if Panlong can get away with it today, he will have the opportunity to lead the tribal soldiers to make a comeback in the future.
"Well said! However, I believe that Panlong and they will not have the long-term vision and survival wisdom of His Royal Highness the Nine, they joined the Tanzhou Civil War because of money, and they must still kill us because of monetary interests, and they will not be willing to give up this treasure that is all over the city before leaving, and greedy people have no reason to talk about! ”
Lin Feng shook his head, pointed in the direction of the tribal army, and said loudly, "I bet that it must be Zhao Ye who led the troops to withdraw just now, and the rest must be Panlong and a few other leaders, and they will soon fall out, and then they will definitely take advantage of the chaos to loot in the city, and then run home with the money and money!" ”
Li Congqian nodded, his childishness still broke out, and he suddenly asked, "Mr. Lin, will you let them go?" ”
Lin Feng smiled slightly, did not answer, but silently replied in his heart a cruel sentence that could not be said clearly: not only is it impossible to let go of Panlong and the clan soldiers, but he also has to make a big article with the help of the incident of them besieging him!
Lin Feng called Wei San's brothers and whispered a few words, Wei San grinned and laughed, pulling Chen Fei and them down the mansion wall to find something.
Just when Panlong hesitated, Pu Guishan, Li Tai, and Lei Shanming were the three heads of "two wars, and they wanted to go first", many torches suddenly lit up on the house wall, and a large fire was lit, followed by a loud and rapid gong, which attracted everyone's attention at once, and the inside and outside of the house wall suddenly quieted down.
As soon as the gong stopped, Lin Feng puffed up his breath and shouted loudly: "Brothers of the tribe below, I am Lin Feng, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and we are the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!" You have been fooled, and you have all been deceived by Panlong! ”
Lin Feng shouted, and Wei San led a group of brothers to repeat in unison, sending these shocking words out of the middle of the night. At the same time, Lin Feng, Wei San and the others all stood neatly behind the fire, and the blood-stained Tang military uniforms on their bodies looked extremely dazzling in the jumping firelight.
As soon as Pan Longfu heard Lin Feng start shouting, he knew that what he was most worried about had happened! He immediately roared loudly: "Lin Feng is lying, don't listen to him!" All of them are on the attack! ”
Just kidding, rushing up at this time is sending you to death. Therefore, after listening to Pan Long's words, even the guards around him didn't move, and listened intently to Lin Feng's words like the clan soldiers.
Lin Feng paused slightly, his tone turned sharp, pointing to the cavalry under the palace wall, and then pointing to the distance, and continued to shout: "The forward troops of my Tang elite soldiers have arrived!" Outside the city of Tanzhou, the Langzhou army has begun to attack the city! If you put down your weapons and tie your hands now, I promise that you will not be guilty of the past; If you don't come to your senses, I guarantee that you will die! ”
After Lin Feng finished shouting, there was silence under the walls of the mansion, and only the sound of the wind, the neighing of horses, the crackling and burning of torches, and the heavy breathing of the soldiers could be heard.
In the silence, I don't know who dropped the weapon in his hand to the ground, and the crisp sound immediately broke the deadlock, and the tribal soldiers standing at the back of the team began to hide their bodies in the darkness and quietly left.
Pu Guishan, Li Tai, and Lei Shanming, who had long been in their minds, looked at each other, and quietly moved backwards.
Panlong was so angry that his teeth were about to crack, this Lin Feng's shit luck was too good, I really don't know how he could have known about this in advance, and where did he find so many assistants with strong martial arts, why did the White Tiger Ancestor God no longer bless himself this time?
Pan Long turned his head and was about to discuss with the three leaders whether to retreat, but found that there was no one around, and when he looked into the distance, he found that the figures of these three guys were almost gone. Panlong immediately roared angrily: "You three stand for me!" ”
It's okay that Panlong didn't shout, but when he shouted, the three leaders ran away directly, and all the tribal soldiers seemed to be awakened, and they all turned around and began to flee.
Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh when he saw the chaos under the city, knowing that the situation had been completely reversed, and the crisis was far away!
Panlong, it's time for me to let you go! A trace of fierceness flashed in Lin Feng's eyes, and he ordered loudly to arrange it.
