Chapter 1143 Zhenfeng Camp Will Surely Win

Immediately afterwards, a second battle report was delivered to the study.

The pirates' sudden departure was because someone set fire to their warships last night; hundreds of warships were reduced to ashes.

Zhao Jian was overjoyed and immediately ordered an investigation into who had done it.

Because of this incident, the pirates outside Los Angeles temporarily eased their offensive, perhaps because they were also waiting to see what had happened.

One battle report after another was sent to the desks of their respective leaders.

The matter is simple: when Prime Minister Miao Changfeng left Luoxi Prefecture, he left behind his deputy captain of the guard to be responsible for forming an elite imperial guard force.

This force of 500 men, called Zhenfeng Battalion, had just left the city yesterday to attack the pirates outside Luocheng. They continued their raids, burning ships at the Meijin County dock and attacking the pirates who were heading to the rescue.

This battle greatly boosted the morale of the troops in Los Angeles, who felt that these fierce pirates could still be defeated and slaughtered.

Crown Prince Zhao Jian placed the battle report on his desk and read it several times before letting out a sigh.

"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, is indeed a pillar of the state and a mainstay of the government."

After sighing, he immediately shouted loudly.

"Send messengers to convey my orders: the soldiers of Zhenfeng Battalion shall continue to fight against the pirates. They shall provide any equipment and supplies they require, and I will grant their request."

Moreover, Zhao Jian drafted a document and submitted it to the imperial court, commending and promoting the five hundred soldiers of Zhenfeng Camp.

Unfortunately, Lin Feng and his colleagues were unable to see these documents.

At this time, their group had arrived at Fengping County, a county town between Fu'an Prefecture and Yongning Prefecture.

Compared to Meijin County, Fengping County had fewer than a thousand pirate troops stationed in its town.

Because this county town is not far from Fu'an Prefecture and Yongning Prefecture, it does not require a large number of troops for defense.

The Taisho Imperial Guards wouldn't be foolish enough to occupy such a small and insignificant county town.

The 500 soldiers of Zhenfeng Battalion stopped 30 li away from Fengping County to rest and replenish their supplies.

After a night of running around, and after the initial excitement, I was completely exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Not only the people, but the warhorses were also covered in sweat, their muscles trembling.

The first thing the soldiers did after dismounting was to give their warhorses water and use clean water to wash away the dirt on their bodies.

Lin Feng looked at the map, frowning as he pondered his next move.

Ahead lies Fengping County, where Zhenfeng Battalion will face a tough battle.

This is a battle that Zhenfeng Battalion must go through.

Anyone can fight a battle with an easy advantage, but a tough battle with a frontal assault is the true test of a soldier's abilities.

If one can pass this test, it means they have passed the test of blood and fire and truly grown into a warrior who can dominate the battlefield.

The five hundred soldiers of Zhenfeng Battalion, having burned their boats and broken their cauldrons, carried little in the way of supplies.

Lin Feng's idea was to use war to sustain war and seize the pirates' food and supplies.

Every minute they stay here increases the danger.

Because we are located in the middle of several enemy cities, our whereabouts will soon be exposed, and then a large number of pirates will swarm in.

At this moment, Wei Bao, who had been released by Lin Feng, sent another message.

Behind them, on the Yongding River, more than two thousand pirates had already crossed the river and were following their trail.

These pirates were a force stationed in Meijin County. They were probably unwilling to accept that their warships had been burned and were determined to eliminate these arsonists at all costs.

Meanwhile, there was also movement in Fengping County ahead. Thousands of pirates began to gather outside the city, preparing to intercept Zhenfeng Camp's path.

Half an hour later, Lin Feng and the others, who were at the top of the slope, could see a dark shadow appear in the distance.

All the soldiers began to tense up, whispering among themselves about how to deal with the situation.

Seeing that there are many pirates ahead, how should this battle be fought?

However, they quickly calmed down because their leader, Lin Feng, was calmly observing the expressions of the soldiers.

Including Chen Dongping, who looked extremely anxious.

They rarely clashed head-on with the pirates, and all the soldiers would feel nervous and uneasy when faced with a large number of pirate troops.

Lin Feng said to Qiao Jushan, "Let's form two wedge formations and each charge at the other's ranks. No fancy moves, just break through their ranks as quickly as possible."

Qiao Jushan frowned and asked, "Boss, then what?"

"Let's turn back and charge again. I estimate there won't be many people left in the city. Let's follow their scattered troops into the city."

Pei Qiyin asked in surprise, "Boss, are we going into the city?"

Lin Feng nodded: "Yes, seize supplies and food, then abandon the city and head south, between the two prefectural cities, and race against them for time."

Chen Dongping was also in their command group and was puzzled when he heard Lin Feng arrange the battle plan.

"Sir, should we continue south?"

He discovered that Zhenfeng Camp was getting further and further away from Luocheng, and further ahead, past Yongning Prefecture, lay vast wilderness.

What is this Mu Chuan up to?

How did they escape the pirates' encirclement and leave Losi?

If that's the case, does it mean betraying the Taisho court?

Chen Dongping was of course unaware that Lin Feng's target was Fuzhou City, where his Zhenxi Army under Hu Jincai was located.

They were also under siege by a large number of pirates, and the situation was extremely critical.

Lin Feng knew that what Hu Jincai's Zhenxi Army lacked was not the ability to fight against the pirates, but the soul of his army.

They lost their leader and their confidence in winning the battle.

The Zhenxi Army was originally equipped with the most advanced and sharpest equipment among the various forces, but it was not fully utilized.

Not much support is needed. As long as Lin Feng returns to the team, it will greatly boost the team's morale. Lin Feng is very confident in defeating the pirates.

The pirate column ahead became clearer, with hundreds of cavalrymen leading the way and infantry following behind, steadily advancing.

Lin Feng estimated that the two teams were about three miles apart.

He turned his head and looked at the soldiers who were anxiously awaiting orders, and the warhorses that were leisurely grazing on the grass.

"That's about it. Everyone, get ready. This is going to be a tough battle. You all need to have the spirit to fight to the death. Killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions is right in front of you. Charge through and you'll live; get blocked here and you'll die. What should we do?"

Lin Feng loudly rallied the soldiers' morale.

"Live, live, live!"

Lin Feng mounted his horse and raised his spear high.

"Zhenfeng Battalion will surely win!"

"Zhenfeng Battalion will surely win!"

"Zhenfeng Battalion will surely win!"

Everyone shouted along, and a deafening roar rose straight to the heavens.

With a whooshing sound, all the soldiers mounted their warhorses and raised their spears high.

The warhorses trotted along, adjusting their formation.

Lin Feng waved his hand: "Follow closely. Whichever way I charge, you charge in that direction. Pei Qiyin on the left wing, Chen Dongping on the right wing. Do you understand?"

"Understood, boss."

All the soldiers stared wide-eyed at Lin Feng.

As members of the Taisho Imperial Guard, this was the first time they had ever seen a commander personally leading the charge at the forefront, which undoubtedly gave them even greater encouragement and confidence to win.

The excitement in the soldiers' eyes brought a satisfied smile to Lin Feng's face.

"Brothers, charge in with me and kill all these damned monkeys!"

When Lin Feng shouted these words, the team erupted in laughter, and all the tension turned into excitement and jubilation.
