Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 602: Slave Must Be Gentle

Yinxiang smiled with satisfaction.

"You must be careful with Zhao Mengfei, the son of General Zhao Wenqi of the Imperial Guards. He has a bad temper and is skilled in martial arts, making him difficult to deal with."

Liu Shuxue nodded frequently.

"There's also Han Dong, the eldest grandson of the current Prime Minister Han Qi, who is also a heavyweight, and..."

Yinxiang may have drunk a little too much, and she chattered on and on with Liu Shuxue about family matters, counting on her fingers and mentioning the important figures in Kyoto one by one.

Liu Shuxue also listened carefully and memorized it in his heart.

Fortunately, she was well-informed and had a good memory, so she didn't dare to miss anything.

Finally, Yinxiang concluded: "In short, these are all the Taibao in the capital, and none of them is easy to mess with. Sister, you need to find a backer to get by."

Liu Shuxue smiled and said, "My sister's support is you, my elder sister."

Yinxiang glanced at Liu Shuxue with some pride.

"I love you for what you have done. When I get a chance, I'll introduce you to a fierce guy."

"Hey, sister, I need to be gentle."

Yinxiang reached out to scratch Liu Shuxue's armpits, shouting.

"Gentle, sister is the most gentle, do you want it, do you want it... hehe..."

The two of them immediately burst into laughter.

Today is an important day for Lin Feng. The first warship he supervised was officially launched.

The entire Jinjiang River bank in Shanglin Prefecture has been placed under heavy martial law.

The huge warship, towed by a dozen oxen, slowly moved into the river.

Lin Feng stood in the distance, quietly watching the giant being moved into the river bit by bit.

Three big characters were written in red paint on the bow of the warship: Zhenxi.

The ship was five zhang, one chi and three cun high, divided into three floors, eighteen zhang long and nine zhang wide.

This type of ship is considered a giant in inland waters.

There were eight gun ports on both sides of the cabin, eight crossbows and two catapults on the deck, and two huge battering rams on the bow.

It is definitely a fully armed war machine.

The entire ship can accommodate 580 soldiers to fight together.

Transporting a thousand-man army is not a problem.

There were six towering masts erected in front and behind the ship, with huge white sails hanging on them.

The key point is that the huge propeller at the stern has a speed that is unmatched by ordinary warships.

As the huge ship entered the water, cheers broke out on the river bank.

Lin Feng let out a long sigh. This was his own great feat. Without huge financial, material and human resources, it would be impossible to realize such a project.

A gangplank was set up on the ship, and Lin Feng and his guards boarded the Zhenxi.

At a command, the warship started, without sails, but only with screw propulsion.

Huge waves rose at the stern of the ship, and the ship slowly moved away from the river bank.

Lin Feng stood at the highest point facing the wind, watching the boat quickly recede along both sides of the river as its speed became faster and faster.

I felt extremely happy for a moment.

At such a speed, the distance between Shanglin Prefecture and Kyoto City is only one day.

Even if one travels 800 miles in an expedited manner, with one person and two horses, it will still take three days to reach Kyoto.

Lin Feng smiled. Technology is not only the primary productive force, but also the primary combat force.

He was in the command room of the warship, spreading out a map.

The Zhenxi is now sailing upstream along the Jinjiang River, guarding the southeast direction from Shanglin Prefecture, and is only 600 miles away from Tongsheng Prefecture.

Jinjiang bypasses the south of Tongsheng Prefecture and turns northeast.

It is located between Tongsheng Prefecture City and Lindu Prefecture City.

Of course, Jinjiang is nearly 500 miles away from Lindu Prefecture by land.

If you transport your team to the north of Lindu Prefecture and capture Tongsheng Prefecture, you can directly face King Fu's base camp.

Faced with the uncovered fields, King Fu would surely be in a panic.

His own Zhenxi Army could connect Sanjiang Prefecture, Shanglin Prefecture, and Tongsheng Prefecture into a semi-encircled battle line.

If he could drive King Fu out of Lindu Prefecture, he would have control over half of the Dazong.

The Zhenxi braved the wind and waves and soon sailed down the river. The shadow of Tongsheng City appeared in sight from a thousand miles away.

After another quarter of an hour, Tongsheng City gradually appeared in everyone's sight.

Gradually, the number of soldiers standing on the tall walls of Tongsheng City could be clearly seen.

Going further ahead, the people on the warships could clearly see the surprised faces of the soldiers standing on the city wall.

And a wide-open mouth.

Tongsheng Prefecture City is similar to Shanglin Prefecture City, and is also built by the river.

The nearest city wall is only a little over a mile away from the river bank.

According to Wei Bao's intelligence, there were 5,000 troops stationed in Tongsheng Prefecture, which was across the river from Lindu Prefecture. All the officials in the prefecture, from top to bottom, had surrendered to King Fu.

Gu Chengliang, the prefect of Tongsheng Prefecture, was in his forties and looked a little pale.

After receiving the report, he immediately brought a group of officials to the city.

At this time, he was looking at Lin Feng and others from a distance.

Lin Feng ordered the ships to dock, drop anchor, and park on the river bank.

The city wall was only six feet high, almost as high as the warship where Lin Feng was standing. The two men stared at each other.

Gu Chengliang had long heard of the battle achievements of Lin Feng of the Zhenxi Army, who had severely defeated Prince Fu's army.

Especially the classic battle example of 50,000 against 100,000, which made all the generals shudder.

I originally thought that the Zhenxi Army would not affect Tongsheng Mansion, but today I witnessed the arrival of a huge ship with my own eyes.

On the bow of the tall warship, three glaring red characters indicated that the one before them was the genuine Zhenxi Army.

The officials standing on the city wall were all nervous and didn't know how to deal with this sudden change.

Lin Feng didn't care what they thought, he just estimated the distance between the warship and the city wall.

He estimated in his mind that the firing range of his cannon should be enough to bombard the city wall without any problem.

There was no pressure even to fire the shells into the city.

When he had almost finished calculating, he gave the order.

"Zhao Shuo, step forward and tell them to open the city and surrender. The court will no longer hold them accountable for treason."

Zhao Shuo immediately agreed, asked the soldiers to build a gangway, and led the war horses off the boat.

A dozen guards followed Zhao Shuo and rode their horses to the suspension bridge under the city.

"Who's the commander on the city wall?"

Someone on the city wall immediately asked, "Who is below the city?"

"I am Zhao Shuo, the Grand Marquis of the Grand Sect, the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guards, and the Chief Guard of Lin Feng, the Marquis of Jingguo."

Gu Chengliang listened to Zhao Shuo's call with his ears pricked up, and felt even more nervous.

He knew this Zhao Shuo, the son of King Dazong Chaorui.

Since Zhao Shuo is Lin Feng's chief guard, the person standing on the big ship must be Lin Feng himself.

He and the Sheng family occupied a very remote position on the battlefield of both sides. How could Lin Feng be allowed to come in person?

"Lord Zhao, is that the real Marquis of Jingguo, Lin Feng, on the boat?"

"Send your name."

Zhao Shuo spoke very toughly, which was also the temper developed by the Zhenxi Army's repeated victories.

"I am Gu Chengliang, the prefect of Sheng Prefecture."

Zhao Shuo turned around and pointed at the warship.

"The one on the boat is my Lord Jingguo, Lin Feng. He asked me to pass on a message: if Prefect Gu surrenders the city, the court will no longer pursue the previous treason charges."

Gu Chengliang hesitated.

Lin Feng's name has already shocked the Central Plains to the point of being in a state of shock.
