Southern border of Yong'an County.
The army led by Lin Feng rectified the soldiers and drilled all the way north. They were already approaching Yong'an County in the north.
It is only about seventy miles away from Yong'an County.
Entering Yong'an County and approaching the northern line, there will be fighting.
At nightfall, the 50,000-strong army led by Lin Feng stopped advancing and rested on the spot. Along the way north, the army ate dry food during the day. When they stopped at night, the soldiers in charge of the kitchen made pots and prepared hot meals.
Lin Feng was sitting by a campfire, waiting quietly.
The bonfire crackled and burned, dispelling the darkness and the chill.
As Lin Fengku sat, he thought about the war situation in the north. This time when he went north to fight the Yan State, although Lin Feng said in front of all the soldiers that he was going north to attack the Yan State army and defeat the Yan State army, in fact, the Yan State's army was not weak in combat effectiveness.
This battle requires adequate preparation.
While Lin Feng was thinking, Gao Xiaoyu came to Lin Feng's side and reported: "Sir, the monks from White Horse Temple are here."
"Please!"
A smile appeared on Lin Feng's face.
The monks at White Horse Temple are all extremely powerful. Once used on the battlefield, it is a sharp knife on the battlefield and can have an overwhelming effect.
Not long after, a group of monks came.
When Lin Feng saw the person coming, a look of surprise appeared on his angular face. He even stood up to greet them personally and said with a smile: "It turns out that Abbot Xuchen is leading the team, and there are also eighteen Arhats and a group of monks. Thank you for your help."
Xu Chen is the abbot of White Horse Temple. Logically speaking, although White Horse Temple was recruited to help in this battle in the name of Da Qin, Xu Chen, as the master of the temple, actually had no need to participate at all, but Xu Chen still came.
This is the importance Baima Temple attaches to, and also the friendship Baima Temple has for Lin Feng.
Xu Chen said to Amitabha and said with a smile: "The Duke is recruiting, the White Horse Temple has the unshirkable responsibility, and the old monk has the unshirkable responsibility. What's more, the White Horse Temple is also a temple within the territory of Da Qin, and is also a part of Da Qin. It is natural to take action for Da Qin. "
Lin Feng said: "Thank you, Abbot Xuchen, for marching all the way and not preparing tents for the time being. Now, we can only rest in the open-air camp."
Xu Chen's old face was full of relief and casualness, and he smiled and said: "Monks don't pay attention to these things. Just do whatever you want. What's more, the soldiers in the army can bear it. We monks have always practiced hard. , why can’t you bear it?”
Lin Feng nodded, waved his hand and said: "Abbot Xuchen, please sit down."
Xu Chen sat down and said with a smile: "My lord, this time the Qin State and the Yan State are at war, we, the White Horse Temple, are duty-bound. If you need the monks of the White Horse Temple to fight, just ask. Although the monks of the White Horse Temple are monks, we also have The heart of the fist.”
Lin Feng nodded and said, "Thank you so much, Abbot Xuchen."
Xu Chen turned his eyes, stared at Lin Feng for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The old monk feels that the Duke's strength has improved again. It is expected that he is now firmly at the Grand Master level. I don't know how far the Duke has reached. Woolen cloth?"
"Why don't you and I give it a try?"
There was a fighting spirit in Lin Feng's eyes. After he became the Grand Master, he rarely fought against others.
One's own progress is actually slowing down. Xu Chen is a veteran grand master, so it would be great to try fighting against Xu Chen.
A look of expectation appeared in Xu Chen's eyes, and he said: "Then let's give it a try. It's just that the old monk went too far by attacking the Duke."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Martial artists compete with each other regardless of their status."
Xu Chen stood up, said Amitabha, and with a flick of his hand, he picked up the flower with one finger.
With one finger pointing, it was extremely fast.
As if in an instant, youth has arrived in front of Lin Feng.
Lin Feng knew very well that Xu Chen's flower-twisting finger was by no means an ordinary power. One finger filled with true energy is enough to crack stone monuments and poke people, and is no weaker than a weapon to chop. Even though Lin Feng had real energy to resist, he was not afraid of this finger, and he still struck back.
Lin Feng used his hands to part the mane of the wild horse. It seemed slow, but it came first. Just as his finger was about to fall on his body, his arm rose up and hit Xu Chen's arm.
boom! !
Double-clicking his arms, Xu Chen swung his arms away.
The two of them fought as fast as lightning.
Against the backdrop of the bonfire, the two figures kept fighting each other, faster and faster.
The sound of banging and banging was endless.
In the eyes of all the soldiers, they only saw two figures crisscrossing back and forth, which was dazzling.
After a while, the two figures separated.
call! call! !
Xu Chen took two quick breaths to steady his mind. He sighed and said: "The Duke is extremely talented and powerful, and the old monk admires him. Especially when fighting on the battlefield, the Duke's strength is superior to that of a general among thousands of armies. The first level, that’s searching for something.”
Lin Feng shook his head and said humbly: "The abbot praised me."
Xu Chen said seriously: "What the old monk said is true. It has been many years since the old monk stepped into the realm of the great master, but he did not take any advantage in front of the Duke. Even the old monk firmly believed that the Duke You haven’t unleashed all your power yet, right?”
Lin Feng replied; "Going all out is a life-and-death fight, not worth it."
Xu Chen said: "The old monk's strength has almost reached 90%. Judging from this aspect of the old monk, the Duke's strength alone is definitely the strongest group of people in the world. Everyone says that the great master He is a land god, and the Duke of Guo almost has this strength."
Lin Feng said with a smile: "Abbott, if you continue talking, I will be in a state of ecstasy. Abbot, have you eaten all the way here?"
"No!"
Xu Chen shook his head.
Lin Feng said: "It just so happens that my people are preparing dinner. Let's eat together later. Although my family doesn't eat meat, there are rice, bread and other things."
"Thank you, Lord."
Xu Chen cupped his hands and thanked him.
For Lin Feng, Xu Chen was convinced.
This person is not only a monster with martial arts talent, but the key is his unparalleled strength.
Lin Feng and Xu Chen chatted briefly for a while. Not long after, dinner was ready. Lin Feng and Xu Chen had finished their meal and were resting in place when they suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps. The sentry rushed back.
The sentry looked hurriedly, came to Lin Feng's side, and reported: "My lord, the information on the northern border has been fully explored. Please read it."
As he spoke, the sentry handed over the letter.
The sentinels who spread out were not the soldiers recruited by Lin Fengcai, but the sentinels from Heibingtai who were arranged to go out. These people have rich experience and are good at inquiring about information, so that they can have a clear understanding of the situation. It is impossible to rely on these newly recruited soldiers to inquire about information.
Lin Feng took the letter and browsed it quickly.
When he saw the content of the letter, a smile appeared on his face. The situation in the letter is not complicated. It was Emperor Liu Yuan of Yan State who led his people to Qibao Mountain, while Xun Peng directly withdrew from Qibao Mountain to defend Yong'an City.
This is the general situation.
Lin Feng read the detailed content and thought about the response plan.
The situation in the north is already very clear.
However, when the emperor of Yan sent troops south, he stationed himself at Qibao Mountain and did not attack. According to the news returned from the Black Ice Platform when heading north, Yan State has encountered a drought this year, and the grasslands will have a hard time this winter.
Under this premise, Liu Yuan should be very impatient if he wants to go south to plunder.
However, he was very calm and did not attack.
Obviously, it was to wait for Lin Feng's army.
Lin Feng understood in his heart that he was going north to Yong'an City this time. He was afraid that there would definitely be a war when he reached Yong'an City.
Liu Yuan is very likely to send troops to attack.
Although Xu Chen said he would not intervene in military affairs, he still asked: "My lord, how is the situation in the north? Have you been able to defend it?"
"It's nothing serious."
Lin Feng shook his head and said: "General Xun Peng is guarding Yong'an City and everything is stable. It's just that what I am thinking about now is to fight a big battle. This battle requires the use of the abbot and the Eighteen Arhats. I don't know if the abbot can Dare you take a gamble with me?"
"How to bet?"
Xu Chen smiled slightly.
He has great confidence in Lin Feng, because Lin Feng has never lost in battles in the north and south. Such a person's grasp of the battlefield is definitely extremely good. Even if he takes risks, he still has a certain degree of confidence.
This is nothing to worry about at all.
Just support Lin Feng.
Lin Feng said directly: "The troops led by me are only 50,000. Although they have been trained and tempered all the way, in fact, the combat effectiveness of this group of people is not very strong. When we go to Yong'an City, the Yan Kingdom will most likely launch a massive attack. "
"The Yan State's intention may be to encircle the area for reinforcements. By besieging us, they can trick Xun Peng's army guarding Yong'an City out so that they can break through Yong'an City."
"Or it could be to completely annihilate us."
"So much so that we have to fight on two fronts at the same time. While annihilating us, we must also annihilate Xun Peng's reinforcements."
"No matter what Yan Guo's plan is, I just need to be sure of one thing. Yan Guo will send troops to attack us."
Lin Feng's eyes were sharp and he said: "So what I have to do next is to directly defeat the opponent. Attack one point and break through directly."
After Xu Chen finished listening, he stroked his beard and said: "No matter what the Duke thinks, the poor monk fully supports it. And the poor monk only needs to participate in the war. Wherever the Duke points, I, the monks of the White Horse Temple, will fight."
Lin Feng also had a smile on his face.
This is the answer he wants to hear. As long as White Horse Temple supports it, everything will have a chance.
Lin Feng patiently explained: "Abbott, please don't worry, I will not charge without preparation. The fighting on the battlefield, with just us, even if it is me, the abbot, the Eighteen Arhats and others charging, although it is powerful, it will still be fierce." It’s still hard to get the momentum going.”
"After all, the 50,000 men under my command are not strong enough to fight. When they fight with the wind, there is no problem, and they will become braver as they fight. Once they fight against the wind, there will be problems."
"So, I will immediately send a letter to Xun Peng and ask him to arrange for six thousand elites to come overnight. At that time, we will charge in front and lead these six thousand elites to charge."
"Six thousand elites charge, and then lead an army of 50,000 to charge."
"I don't believe in Liu Yuan's arrangement. He will bring over 100,000 people. As long as he doesn't mobilize in full force, we will defeat him in one go. In fact, it is impossible for Liu Yuan to mobilize in full force, because once the army bypasses Yong'an City, it will be overwhelming. If we go out, our retreat will be cut off easily."
"So, we are absolutely confident of winning."
Lin Feng talked eloquently and said: "Liu Yuan's plan was very good, but he did not expect that Abbot Xuchen is a grand master, and I am also a grand master. In addition, my personal follower Gao Xiaoyu is a grand master, and he can The Eighteen Arhats who are comparable to the Grand Master, we lead the team to charge forward, which is enough to crush all the defense lines."
After hearing this, Xu Chen put a faint smile on his face and praised: "The old monk is admirable for his strategizing."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Since the abbot has no problem, then let's do it."
"I will obey the Duke's orders."
Xu Chen answered directly.
Lin Feng immediately wrote a letter and handed it to the sentinel, with instructions: "Rush to Yong'an City overnight and deliver it to Xun Peng as quickly as possible."
"Here!"
When the sentinel received the order, he immediately hurried on his way.
From the distance where Lin Feng is now, there is still almost seventy miles to Yong'an City, which is almost a day's journey.
However, the sentinels were riding at a very fast pace. When the sun had just risen the next morning, they had already arrived outside the city. They announced their identity and entered the city. They met Xun Peng and reported: "General Xun Peng, the country's general Public letters are delivered.”
"Send it over quickly."
Xun Peng quickly ordered.
He took the letter and browsed it quickly. After reading the contents of the letter, he was a little stunned.
The Duke took another risk.
There are certain risks.
However, once it is successful, the benefits are huge.
One battle can weaken the Yan State's army. Even if the Yan State's army fails to respond, the Yan State's army will be defeated in the battle on the Yong'an City line.
Xun Peng is not a hesitant person, and he has no chance to hesitate.
In this fight, Lin Feng is the coach.
Xun Peng could only abide by Lin Feng's decision and could not violate it.
Xun Peng ordered: "If anyone comes, please notify Yu Shan to discuss matters."
"Here!"
The soldiers went to inform. It didn't take long before Yu Shan hurried in. He looked excited and said, "General, are we about to go to war? Has the Duke's army arrived?"
"Too much nonsense!"
Xun Peng scolded sharply.
Yu Shan smiled and stood bowed.
Xun Peng ordered: "The Duke has ordered you to immediately mobilize six thousand elites, leave Yong'an City as quickly as possible, and go south to join the Duke. Then, follow the Duke's arrangements."
"ah!"
Yu Shan exclaimed in surprise.
There was a look of astonishment on his face, because he did not expect that his mission was to go south to meet Lin Feng.
Is this a pickup?
Not combat.
Yu Shan looked coy and was about to speak, but Xun Peng said in a deep voice: "Yu Shan, I am going to the Duke's side, and you will obey orders. In front of the general, you are allowed to speak as you like. But when you arrive at the Duke's side, you will be allowed to speak as you please. Don't say anything you shouldn't say when you're around me, otherwise, you won't know how you died. Also, when it's time to charge, charge with all your strength. If you cower, don't blame me if you get killed."
"I will obey my orders."
Yu Shan understood immediately upon hearing this.
There must be a plan.
Otherwise, Xun Peng would not have given such an order.
Yu Shan's heart became excited. He clasped his fists and said, "General, please rest assured. If the general goes to the battlefield and is dawdling, he does not need to be killed by the king. The general will deal with himself. I, a man of Great Qin, am not afraid of death." "
"Go!"
Xun Peng waved his hand.
Yu Shan cupped his fists and bowed in salute, then left in a hurry.
Xun Peng looked at Yu Shan's leaving figure and began to think in his heart. Because of Lin Feng's plan, he also had to make arrangements here. Although Lin Feng said he was adapting to circumstances and letting him make his own decisions, this was exactly the case, so he had to be even more cautious.
