Chapter Ninety-Five: A Sudden Cold Wave

Quelling the rebellion in Linzi, this is not too difficult for the brave and good Yanzhou army, after all, the strength of both sides has been put on the table, and the gap is too great, and it is not too much to describe it as a world of difference.

The King of Linzi has only more than 100,000 soldiers, and none of his soldiers have experienced real wars, so they can only be regarded as a group of rookie-level recruits, and in terms of weapons and armor, even Murong Hao's Beifu Army is inferior.

Jiang Feng only brought Liuxia on this trip, as well as 30,000 shield soldiers and 10,000 light cavalry, so he was going out on vacation and calming the chaos.

Set up camp at the foot of the mountain thirty miles away from Linzi, the scenery here is pleasant.

And Jiang Hao did not plan to sit still in Linzi, and immediately dispatched 60,000 elite soldiers from the city to confront Jiang Feng across the mountain, the camps of the two sides were less than ten miles apart, and there was only a gentle low peak in the middle.

On the first day, the two armies opened their formations, fought each other in short quarters, and fought a few battles on a small scale, but the results were not surprising, and they all ended in a crushing defeat for the Linzi army.

A full 60,000 Linzi elites, after several defeats, lost more than half of them, and were forced to retreat.

The Yanzhou New Army took advantage of the situation and marched all the way and forced the Linzi Army back to its old nest.

"Besiege but not attack, wait for the arrival of long-range weapons, and then break through Linzi, during this period, send people to frequently persuade Jiang Hao to surrender. ”

Set up camp in the wasteland outside Linzi City, and wait for Chu River to bring siege equipment and howitzers into operation.

Linzi City has a thick high wall, if you rely on the foot soldiers to forcibly break the city, it is not cost-effective, it is estimated that the losses will be very heavy, Yanzhou Tiger Army, are with Jiang Feng to fight in the east and west, can be described as the elite of the elite, with a hundred dead soldiers.

Breaking the city with flesh and blood, this kind of stupid thing, Jiang Feng would never do it.

Waiting for the howitzers to arrive, several rounds of bombardment ensured that the Linzi army obediently went out of the city and surrendered.

In the past few days, the Linzi army has refused to surrender, and the howitzer battalion is still on the way, Jiang Feng has nothing to do, and plays chess with Liuxia every day to relieve boredom.

It wasn't until the fifth day that the temperature began to drop, Jiang Feng was awakened by freezing in his sleep, and when he opened his eyes, he found that Lu Xia beside him was trembling all over, curled up in a ball, his forehead was hot, but his body was unusually cold.

"Ryuxia, how are you feeling? Do you have a fever?"

Jiang Feng bought antipyretic medicine from the killing store, mixed it with hot water, and fed it to Lu Xia's mouth, tossing for a long time before helping her relieve a little pain.

It's normal to cool down, after all, it's late autumn, and the weather will gradually get colder, especially at night, but fortunately, there are tents to protect against the cold.

At first, Jiang Feng didn't take this little thing to heart.

But in the early morning of the next day, the wind howled, overturned the tent, and the goose feathers and heavy snow fluttered down all night, burying the Yanzhou barracks alive, and the outdoor temperature suddenly plummeted to more than minus 30 degrees, and half of the Yanzhou army was frozen to death in the tents.

The snow was too thick for a fire to be lit in the camp, and the Yanzhou New Army could not eat hot food for a long time, and fell one after another.

"Oops, I didn't take into account the weather factors, this place should not stay for a long time, we must retreat as soon as possible, the marching speed of the Suo Jiao light cavalry is extremely fast, even if the Linzi army is fast and the horses can't catch up. ”

By the time Jiang Feng realized the crisis, it was too late, and only four thousand soldiers were left alive.

He immediately chose to abandon the camp and retreated north to Yongguan City.

But after the vast blizzard, Murong Hao personally led the Beifu army and blocked the retreat.

Jiang Feng confiscated his military power, but there were still tens of thousands of garrisons in the fiefdom, just taking advantage of this natural disaster, and uniting with the Linzi army, as long as he could kill the monarch of Qin, the new dynasty would collapse in an instant, and Murong Hao and Jiang Hao would also become the number one contributors to the counterinsurgency.

"Monarch of Qin, I didn't expect me to appear here, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and today next year will be your death day. Murong Hao was eager to make contributions and directly led the army into the camp.

The Yanzhou New Army has been in a state of hunger and cold for a long time, with serious physical attrition, and a very thick layer of frost on the weapon, which cannot be grasped, let alone confronted by the Beifu Army.

The Yanzhou army was cut off one after another, and the snow under their feet was stained red with blood, and only a dozen or so guards remained, guarding around Jiang Feng and Liuxia.

The gate of Linzi City was opened, and Jiang Hao led tens of thousands of soldiers out of the city and surrounded the barracks.

"Mao hasn't grown up, and you dare to learn from others to be called emperors?" Murong Hao revealed a smug expression between his eyebrows, pulled out the sword at his waist, threw it to Jiang Feng, and mocked: "Kill yourself, after you die, I will cut off your head and ask His Highness Jiang Cheng for credit." ”

"Monarch, brothers, this will cover you to fight out of the encirclement, for you, we are willing to fight to the last soldier. ”

"No need, thank you. Jiang Feng pushed away the guards in front of him, stepped out of the shield, leaned over to pick up the bronze sword in the snow, and wiped it back and forth with his sleeve.

"If you want my head, you have to see if you have the ability to do it. ”

Jiang Feng inserted the bronze sword into the snow, opened his palm, and took out the Ink Divine Sword from the void, the blade of the sword pointed at Murong Hao, pulling him into the Mirror Lake Enchantment.

"What the hell is going on? Someone, quickly capture the leader of the rebels. ”

Murong Hao's smile froze on the spot, his feet were stepping on the surface of the Mirror Lake at the moment, and looking around, the Beifu Army had already disappeared without a trace.

In front of him, Jiang Feng was holding a bronze sword, approaching him step by step, his eyes glowing with blood, as if death had descended on the world.

The blade of the sword floated in front of him, revealing a cold light, sealing Murong Hao's throat, and the bronze sword swung again, cutting off his head.

Fading away from the inky illusion around him, Jiang Feng dragged Murong Hao's head and stopped alone among tens of thousands of troops.

"Escort, block him for me!" Jiang Hao's eyes widened, and he hurriedly stepped back in fright.

Among the ten thousand enemies, take the head of its commander, and the horror is difficult to describe in words.

"What about the crossbowman, why are you stunned, kill him for me!"

Tens of thousands of feather arrows covered the Yanzhou military camp, and the remaining dozen or so soldiers finally fell to the ground, Jiang Feng was hit by seven arrows in a row, picked up the corpse of the guard, and held the unconscious Liuxia in his arms.

"This time, you can't escape! Go together, kill the leader of the rebels, reward thousands of gold, and seal ten thousand households. Jiang Hao waved his long sword and gave orders, but he didn't dare to approach Jiang Feng, Murong Hao was a lesson from the past.

The Linzi army held a spear in hand and approached Jiang Feng, and under the temptation of rewards, there were always people who were willing to take risks.

"As the monarch of the Qin State, do you think I am like a wine bag and a rice bag?"

Jiang Feng casually picked up a bronze spear from the snow, tied Liuxia behind his back with hemp rope, and then jumped onto the war horse.

"Kill, death to those who stand in my way!"

Riding alone to kill through the enemy's formation, slashing hundreds of Linzi troops in a row, Jiang Feng broke through the encirclement and went straight to the nearby rainforest.

"Stop, there's no need to chase it, that rainforest is a forbidden place, a realm that mortals can't set foot in, if you strayed into it, you will definitely die. ”

For the sake of safety, Jiang Hao left 20,000 soldiers behind to guard the exit of the rainforest to ensure that Jiang Feng would not turn back the way he came.
