Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 290: Playing by the rules

According to the plan with Commander-in-Chief Su Qian, he contacted Master Tie to jointly deal with Qin Zhong.

Then spread the news and attract Lin Feng to come to the city to rescue.

He happened to lead his men to the border town and take over the 30,000 provincial troops there.

By the time Lin Feng understood what was happening, the situation had already been decided and there was nothing that could be done to reverse it.

This plan made Su Qian and Du Lisheng very proud and full of confidence.

Unexpectedly, Lin Feng did not play by the normal route. Instead of rescuing Qin Zhong, he brought his men directly to the border town.

Things are getting a little complicated.

Du Lisheng became even more anxious and raised the silk in his hand into the air again.

"General Sun, this is an order from the imperial court and the commander-in-chief. If you don't open the city, will I think that General Sun has ulterior motives?"

Sun Yang was in a dilemma, as he was on Lin Feng's side.

But faced with the orders from the imperial court and the governor, how should one choose?

His family all lives in the capital, dozens of people in total.

Once convicted of treason by the imperial court, the entire family would be exterminated.

"General Du, Sun needs to confirm the authenticity of the warrant. Please wait."

Sun Yang turned around and ordered his soldiers to go down to the city to get the silk from Du Lisheng.

He retracted his head and turned to run towards the east of the city.

Sun Yang needs to discuss with Lin Feng how to deal with this matter.

After leaving the city, he mounted his horse and rushed to the east gate.

Arriving at the foot of the city wall and ordering the soldiers to open the city gate, Sun Yang rode his horse directly to the suspension bridge and spoke to Lin Feng across the trench.

Lin Feng sneered when he heard what Du Lisheng said.

"General Sun, I'm afraid that General Qin has been murdered by Su Qian and Du Lisheng in collusion with the Tartars. They are trying to seize control of the Border City Army. If General Sun opens the city and lets them in, Zhenxi will be destroyed in our hands."

Lin Feng tried his best to make the matter sound very serious.

Sun Yang was also stunned for a moment. He didn't expect things to have reached this point.

He was always decisive, but his mind was confused and he hesitated for a moment.

He also knew that letting Lin Feng enter the city was the right choice, but Du Lisheng represented the imperial court and the provincial capital.

"Lin Feng, if Sun lets you into the city, Du Lisheng will definitely hold you accountable for treason. How should I respond?"

Lin Feng knew Sun Yang's worries. His family was all in the capital, so he didn't dare to be negligent.

"General Sun, we can allow both parties to enter the city with only 20 guards and confront Du Lisheng face to face. This will not embarrass you. Who is right and who is wrong is under your control."

Lin Feng dared to say this because he knew that Sun Yang had always been on his side.

"Lin Feng, you dare to do this, but Du Lisheng probably wouldn't dare. If I don't let his army enter the city, he will directly convict Sun at the foot of the city."

As Sun Yang spoke, his eyes turned to the right.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and thought for a moment.

"I don't want to embarrass General Sun, so I'll lead the team to disperse him."

Sun Yang had no expression on his face, except for a slight upward curve at the corners of his mouth.

He looked at the young man in front of him and felt very sad.

He is so decisive, worthy of being a person who can accomplish great things.

How can someone so young be so courageous?

Without waiting for Sun Yang to continue hinting, Lin Feng turned his horse's head, waved and shouted.

"Prepare for battle, charge after me."

As he spoke, he urged his horse to gallop towards the north of the city.

The generals behind him immediately gave orders, followed Lin Feng's horse, turned around and galloped away.

Four thousand cavalrymen, after a burst of clattering sounds of weapons and equipment, the war horses roared and dust flew.

Sun Yang stared at the team in front of him in amazement.

The only words left in my mind are majestic, iron-blooded, fearless... etc.

Du Lisheng was waiting anxiously outside the city.

He was afraid that Sun Yang would let Lin Feng into the city. Once Lin Feng entered the city, he would not dare to go in again and seek death.

However, he bet that Sun Yang would not dare to do so, as he had the commander-in-chief's order in his hand.

Although the official documents from the court were fake, the commander-in-chief's order was genuine.

If Sun Yang dared to disobey the order, there would be a pretext to convict him of treason.

Does Sun Yang have the guts to disregard the lives of his family members?

Controlling Sun Yang's family is also the key for Su Qian and Du Lisheng to capture the border city army.

The soldiers in the city had already taken away the official documents and warrants.

Du Lisheng waited anxiously in front of the suspension bridge.

Sun Yang disappeared, and I knew he was hesitating about making a decision.

"General Sun, where are you, Sun Yang? Open the city gates quickly! Are you planning a rebellion?"

Du Lisheng couldn't wait and shouted loudly.

But before he could finish his words, he felt the ground shaking.

Du Lisheng looked around in confusion.

A soldier shouted a warning: "General, enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Du Lisheng was shocked. He had already made arrangements with the Tartars, so how could there be an enemy attack here?

"Quick, line up, spearmen in front, archers behind..."

Du Lisheng also reacted quickly. Although he had little battlefield experience, he had seen many conventional military battles.

The five thousand soldiers and horses were in chaos. The team holding spears moved forward, followed by the archer troops.

We were still adjusting the team here when we saw a cloud of dust in the distance.

Countless war horses rushed over quickly from far away.

The sharp-eyed soldiers shouted loudly.

"It's the Qingshui Army, the Qingshui Army is coming to attack!"

Although they were stationed far away in the provincial capital, they had all heard of the power of the Qingshui Corps.

The Tartar cavalry had suffered countless losses at the hands of the Qingshui Army, let alone their own government troops who had rarely been on the battlefield.

All the soldiers became panicked.

Du Lisheng suppressed the fear in his heart and shouted loudly.

"Archers, shoot! Shoot me to death!"

As soon as he finished shouting, he saw a black cloud in the sky flying towards his head at a rapid speed.

The next moment, countless arrows fell from the sky and landed among the team with a crackling sound.

Immediately afterwards, countless screams were heard, and countless soldiers were shot and fell off their horses.

The team was in chaos.

Feather arrows also rose into the air and flew forward sparsely.

Du Lisheng really has no experience in fighting against enemies.

In a situation like this, we shouldn't defend ourselves.

When you discover that war cavalry is attacking, you should organize the cavalry in time and form a team to fight back.

Or organize infantry and use spears to set up a spear formation in front of the formation to block the enemy.

If your own soldiers are not panicked, use long-range attacks and spear formations to stop the enemy, and then use cavalry to charge.

In such a battle, the outcome is left to fate.

These were of no use, as Lin Feng had already led his troops to the front.

The warhorse charged at high speed, accompanied by the whistling sound of the wind, and rushed towards him.

The soldiers standing in the front row had already retreated in fear and were squeezed together with the soldiers in the back row.

The next moment, countless war horses galloped into the palace army.

Screams, crashes, chaos everywhere.

Compared with the Tartar cavalry, the government army is far inferior.

Jia Zheng, who led the charge, and his team of thirty cavalrymen rushed into the palace army without feeling any pressure.

Before they could even take out their sharpest bows and crossbows, their war horses rushed into the enemy's position.

He chopped left and right with the steel knife in his hand as if he was in an empty space. Anyone who stood in front of him was easily chopped down. In a short while, everything in front of him was gone.

The government troops were already broken through.

The large group of cavalry that followed dispersed and attacked the entire 5,000-man government army.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, Du Lisheng's five thousand troops were scattered, killed and howled like ghosts and wolves, with broken limbs flying everywhere.

Those who managed to escape the attack each found a direction and ran away desperately.

Du Lisheng was also surrounded by guards. He chose a direction and rushed out.

He didn't have the courage to charge Lin Feng at all. After shouting the order, he had already thought about escaping.

The two sides have similar numbers of people, but their combat effectiveness is vastly different.

Sun Yang looked at the bloody battlefield below the city and shook his head and sighed.

I've heard for a long time that Du Lisheng is a idiot, but I didn't expect that even a idiot would praise him.

Lin Feng led his troops to charge, while he himself led his guards to supervise the battle.

There was no need for him to lead the charge anymore. The army was already mature, and even Hu Jincai and Lin Qiaomei did not need to lead the charge.

Lin Feng squinted his eyes and looked towards the battlefield.

"Cheng Liang, take a hundred guards and capture Du Lisheng, dead or alive."

"Yes, General."

Cheng Liang responded angrily, waved his hand, and led a hundred elite guards and cavalrymen to rush out on horseback.
