"ah!!!"
With a shrill scream, Zhang Feng was stabbed to the core by the oncoming horse. Blood burst out from his heart, instantly dyeing the cloth armor on his body red.
Zhang Zhenhai did not pull out the horse, but directly picked up Zhang Feng's body and dragged it back and forth along the scene, shouting: "The enemy general is dead, and anyone who resists will not be killed!"
Once Zhang Feng died, the remaining soldiers lost all fighting spirit and fled away one after another.
Everything happened too fast. From the time the guards of the Tianji Camp launched the attack to the defeat of the enemy, it only took less than a stick of incense. The guards of the Tianji Camp killed and injured more than 20 people on the opponent's side with zero loss, which directly led to More than two hundred enemies were routed thousands of miles away.
Don't chase after the enemy. Zhang Zhenhai has no interest in the fleeing soldiers. His mission is to clear the way for Qin Feng to get to the royal capital. Therefore, after breaking through the first checkpoint, Zhang Zhenhai did not hesitate and immediately led the Tianji Battalion guards along the route. Go to the official road and rush towards the next level.
Soldiers are very fast, and Zhang Zhenhai must attack the enemy before the deserters reach the next level.
On the other side, Qin Feng was riding a horse, leading the Anwu Guards and Beixi soldiers, following closely behind the Tianji Camp guards.
Liu Ming glanced at the uncovered wasteland and said in a deep voice: "Qin Hou, it won't be long before the enemy knows that we are attacking the official road with all our strength. By then, there will be a steady stream of enemies setting ambushes on the official road. . If we change the direction at this time, it may have unexpected effects."
Hearing this, Qin Feng refused without even thinking: "The enemy thinks so too!"
"The advance scouts who were wiped out by the enemy were members of the Dark Guard. It can be seen that the enemy must have received help from Night Owl, and Night Owl is best at assassinating. I am afraid that we are also being monitored by Night Owl at this time. Once you leave the official road, you will fall into the trap carefully set by the night owl."
"Only a head-on breakthrough is the right path."
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Liu Ming no longer raised any objections. He quickly ordered the Anwu Guards to protect Qin Feng and Li Xiaolan, and at the same time, he personally went ahead as a scout to explore the way ahead.
Located at the last pass of the capital, Lu Li personally presided over the overall situation, accompanied by eight hundred elites, as well as the deputy general of the capital's garrison and Ye Xiao.
Lu Li had received the news as early as one stick of incense time ago. According to the time, Qin Feng must have fought against the soldiers at the first level.
The deputy general of the garrison said in a deep voice: "Master Zhu, Qin Feng only has 200 men with him, and we dropped nearly 5,000 men along the way. Qin Feng will not be able to escape today even if he has wings!"
"Please rest assured Zhu Guo, my subordinates will definitely take off Qin Feng's head!"
Although these words were very encouraging, Lu Li did not relax. His eyes were deep and he said coldly: "Don't be careless in Jingzhou. Qin Feng has always been full of tricks, and his subordinates are all brave and capable elites. Only by forcing him down the official road can the army that ambushed him in advance be able to surround and annihilate him. If this guy refuses to leave the official road, it will not be easy to capture him."
Night Owl on the side took the letter sent by his colleague, looked at it a few times, frowned slightly, walked to Lu Li, and reported softly.
"Lu Zhuguo, I just received the news that Zhang Feng has been killed, and the two hundred soldiers around him dispersed like birds and beasts."
Hearing this, the deputy general of the garrison was surprised, with disbelief in his eyes.
Not to mention 200 soldiers, even 200 pigs had to be captured for a while, but in the blink of an eye, they were defeated thousands of miles away? !
Is it Zhang Feng and others who are too weak, or Qin Feng's soldiers who are too strong?
Compared with the astonishment of the deputy general of the garrison, Lu Li was relatively calm. He had no hope that a mere 200 people could stop Qin Feng, and the place was too close to the capital, so he did not dare to mobilize large forces. The troops encircled and suppressed them, and secondly they did not dare to dispatch elites. The five thousand people gathered by Lu Li were all drawn from various ministries of the Eagle Party.
At best, these are elites from the capital, but at worst, they are just field soldiers who lack actual combat experience. How easy is it to crack down on a tough guy like Qin Feng?
It is precisely for this reason that Lu Li seeks help from Ye Xiao and tries to lure Qin Feng into a trap as much as possible.
But the reality is obviously far from Lu Li's expectation. The soldiers stationed at the checkpoint are too weak. Facing Qin Feng's soldiers and horses, they can be broken with almost a poke. This will not only affect Lu Li's tactical deployment, but also affect other troops. The impact on the morale of the troops is also not trivial.
Lu Li immediately ordered that the news of Zhang Feng's death was strictly prohibited from being revealed. Everyone should perform their duties. According to the pre-arrangement, whenever they encountered Qin Feng, they would directly attack him.
Lu Lichong said in a deep voice to Ye Xiao: "Qin Feng must be strangled outside the royal capital, and he must not be allowed to see His Majesty, otherwise this son will definitely use the topic to suppress our Eagle Party even more thoroughly."
"This battle is not only for myself, but also for all my party members!"
Night Owl nodded. Although only a small number of Night Owls have surrendered to the Eagle Party, and today's killing of Qin Feng has nothing to do with Li Yu, but since it is necessary to do it, then it will not stop until Qin Feng is completely destroyed. .
At the same time, hundreds of night owls, with thousands of people, have been ambushing both sides of the official road. As long as Qin Feng dares to leave the official road, he can die without a burial place.
On the other side, Zhang Zhenhai has led the Tianji Battalion guards to reach the second level.
Due to Lu Li's strict blockade of information, the guards at the second level had no idea who they were facing. Facing the guards from the Tianji Battalion who suddenly rushed towards them, the two hundred soldiers carried out active defense, using large shields in front. The traditional formation of infantry at the rear.
The rifle sticks stretched out along the gaps between the big shields, aiming at the thirty cavalry oncoming.
Zhao Ling, the leader of the second level, looked at the cavalry getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He felt that the opponent's head must have been kicked by a donkey, otherwise he would still dare to charge into the formation despite the huge difference in numbers. It's simply an act of seeking death.
Zhao Ling was extremely confident that he was not even prepared for the infantry archers. He was ready to eat these thirty cavalrymen who were not afraid of death with just their large shields and infantry rifles.
As everyone knows, in this world, there is no invincible army, nor is there any absolutely perfect formation.
Whether the formations of arms are incompatible or not is all relative.
In other words, the advantages of arms cannot turn the tide on the battlefield. There is often only one factor that can directly affect the trend of the battle, and that is morale.
As long as the morale is strong enough, it is not difficult to defeat a large number with a small number. On the contrary, if the morale is too low, even if you have a force several times that of the opponent, it is very easy to be defeated by the opponent.
When infantry faces cavalry, the impact on morale is even more obvious.
