"As for three defeats in three battles, it is reasonable. Then Chen Si is a master in using troops and is a veteran of hundreds of battles. Although the prince is proficient in the art of war, it is his first battle after all. It is good to win like this. Besides, attacking the Eastern Front , I gave the order, even if I bear the responsibility, I should bear the responsibility, and I definitely cannot blame you."
Li Zhang still lowered his head and said in a low voice: "You don't have to say nice words to comfort me. If you lose, you will lose. If you lose, you will lose. I am indeed no match for Chen Si."
Qin Feng patted Li Zhang on the shoulder and encouraged: "If you can't fight now, it doesn't mean you won't be able to fight in the future. Actual combat experience needs to be accumulated slowly. You still hold on to the military power. When I am not in Beixi County, the whole city is at your disposal." .”
While speaking, Qin Feng turned around and saluted the smiling King Ming: "Greetings to King Ming!"
Prince Ming waved his hand: "Between you and me, there is no need to worry about red tape. I am just here to join in the fun and see you, this little young man. The war is the most important thing at the moment, so just pretend that I don't exist."
Even so, Qin Feng was still in awe of King Ming.
If King Ming hadn't moved to Beixi County, trying to coordinate the three armies in the north would have been nothing more than wishful thinking, and the situation would have been several times more serious than it is now.
Qin Feng turned to look at the soldiers present, and his tone seemed quite relaxed: "When I came here, I had already patrolled the rear, and the people had begun to transport food to the war zone. The war zone was guarded by five thousand soldiers and horses of generals and cavalry. In addition, Beidi is too deep to attack."
"We only need to pin the Beidi army to the north of Beixi County. This battle will be won!"
"As for Chen Si, he is just a crippled barbarian, not worth mentioning!"
Qin Feng was in awe of Chen Si from the bottom of his heart, but he demoted Chen Si as worthless in his words, just to boost the morale of the army and make the soldiers regain their strength and have the courage to face the next war.
If these words had been spoken by someone else, all the soldiers would have scorned them.
But coming out of Qin Feng's mouth was another story.
The soldiers on the scene all clenched their fists, their blood was boiling, and some even started shouting loudly.
"Qin Qianhu, are you really sure you can defeat Chen Si?"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted countless angry looks.
Xu Mo almost went up with a knife and chopped down the yeller.
What does it mean to be confident? I'm afraid it might shake the morale of the army!
Qin Feng stretched out his hand to stop Xu Mo, grinned at the defenders on the city wall, and said wildly: "Chen Si? Is he a ball? He was almost shot to death by an arrow from the guards of Tianji camp, and he fled back to the capital of Beidi to heal. Listen, He also lost an arm. When he has two hands, he is no match for me, let alone only one hand?"
A burst of cheerful laughter suddenly erupted from the scene.
After Qin Feng's teasing, Chen Si, who was extremely terrifying, had nothing to be afraid of.
After comforting the soldiers, Qin Feng stretched out his hand to pull Li Zhang to his side and asked in a low voice: "Ning Hu, there is no letter at all?"
Li Zhang nodded, then immediately shook his head: "The defense on the eastern front was like an iron barrel. Not to mention the scouts, even the Jin Yiwei couldn't penetrate, and they couldn't get in touch with Ning Hu. But before, Beidi's rear was burned. The fire was witnessed by the scouts wandering along the border. I guessed it must be Ning Hu’s fault.”
After confirming that Ning Hu was still alive, Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
Just when Qin Feng was secretly thinking about how to rescue Ning Hu, there was a rush of horse hooves behind him, and he saw a messenger covered in blood running towards him. Before he could rush into the city gate, he He shouted loudly: "Oh no! The important town of the border army has been lost, and all the Beidi army has entered the city!"
The sudden bad news instantly shattered the joy of the scene.
Almost at the same time, Qin Feng gave up the idea of rescuing Ning Hu and shouted to the messenger: "When did it happen!"
The messenger turned over and dismounted, stared at Qin Feng and said doubtfully: "Who are you? The prince is here!"
Li Zhang on the side looked annoyed: "The person in front of you is the special envoy to supervise the war, Qin Qianhu!"
Hearing this, the messenger was stunned for a moment, then immediately knelt on his knees and burst into tears: "Qin Qianhu, you came at the right time. Please hurry up and save the Western Front."
Qin Feng kicked the messenger over with one kick and shouted: "Whatever I ask you, just say it. You are talking all over the place!"
The recruits gathered around suddenly discovered that Qin Feng, who had been carefree just now, seemed to be a completely different person, and their doubts about Qin Feng disappeared in an instant.
Feeling Qin Feng's sharp eyes, the messenger did not dare to be nagging anymore and quickly replied: "The city was destroyed early this morning."
Qin Feng quickly asked: "Did the former general evacuate safely?"
The ordering soldier shook his head repeatedly and burst into tears: "The former general led the remaining troops to stay in the city and fight with the Beidi army in the streets. Beidi has begun to massacre the city, killing all soldiers and civilians regardless of distinction."
Qin Feng took a deep breath.
Although the important border town has been destroyed, as long as the street fighting continues, it can still be saved.
Qin Feng did not dare to hesitate, took office immediately, turned around and gave the order: "Zhao Yulong!"
Zhao Yulong quickly stepped forward with clasped fists: "The general is here!"
Although everyone treats each other as brothers on weekdays, when encountering war, the status gap immediately becomes apparent.
Qin Feng said simply and neatly: "You lead the black cavalry quickly and attack the eastern front to attract Beidi's attention. The offensive must be fierce, but do not go deep. Remember to save your arrows and focus on charging. If you encounter light cavalry, fight and retreat. , after breaking away from the siege of the enemy's infantry, they formed a formation and exchanged arrows with the enemy's Qingqi. My black cavalry has strong armor and is equipped with a one-stone horse bow, which is better than the seven bows of the Beidi Qingqi!"
Zhao Yulong immediately mobilized the black cavalry and rushed to the eastern front.
Qin Feng then ordered Li Lang and Xu Mo to immediately lead the light cavalry and infantry to support the border army.
"Mo Li! Where did you die, Mo Li?"
Qin Feng roared at the top of his lungs for a long time, and then the right envoy of the Jinyi Guards came in a hurry: "Master Qin, what are your orders?"
Qin Feng said straightforwardly: "Immediately dispatch two hundred Jinyi guards, carrying military rations, and spare arrows. When the black cavalry attacks the eastern front and attracts the enemy's attention, enter Beidi territory and find a way to join Ning Hu. Expect Ning Hu and Tianji The battalion guards are almost out of ammunition and food."
On Ning Hu's side, since they were trapped in Beidi, it was impossible to rescue them. They could only transport supplies as much as possible to let Ning Hu and the others continue to persevere.
In this way, there are still two thousand defenders in the city, all of whom are new soldiers.
Qin Feng turned around and asked Li Zhang: "How many armors are there in the city?"
Li Zhang blurted out without thinking: "Nowadays, the war is intense. Tianji Battalion has never stopped working. It has armor in stock and can equip an army of five thousand."
Qin Feng nodded, looked at Lin Quqi who was just arriving, and shouted: "Brother Lin, you go back to the outer city to mobilize the people. All the young and strong people will be distributed with armor and go up the city wall to assist the defenders."
