Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 591: 4 Surroundings 1

The two were talking when suddenly soldiers rushed in.

"Report, General, General Li's 1,000 cavalrymen are surrounded by rebels thirty miles west of Ji County."

Lin Feng was stunned: "Huh? Who's leading the team?"

"The general is Zong Huan, the captain of a thousand men, and he leads a Black Turban Army of 30,000 to 40,000 men."

"When did this happen?"

"At noon today."

Lin Feng looked up at the sky. It was already the early afternoon and more than an hour had passed.

“Hiss…”

Lin Feng took a breath and frowned in thought.

It was obvious that this was a trap set by the rebels to cut off the food supply of the Zhenxi Army. More than a dozen cavalry units finally fell into the trap.

Thirty to forty thousand Black Scarf Army surrounded a thousand cavalrymen.

I'm afraid it's very dangerous.

Li Donglai also received the report and hurried to the yard of the command center.

"Boss, Zong Huan is surrounded. Send someone to rescue him immediately?"

Lin Feng had returned to the desk, looking down at the map, lost in thought.

"People must be saved, it's just a matter of how."

Li Donglai said anxiously, "I have already sent out four teams. There are still 6,000 cavalrymen in the camp. I will take them over first."

Lin Feng shook his head: "The Black Scarf Army is waiting for our rescue troops, don't be impatient."

Hu Jincai also ran in at this time.

"Boss, Zong Huan is surrounded, and two nearby cavalry units are heading that way."

Lin Feng clenched his fist and said, "Damn, these guys don't use their brains."

Forty thousand Black Turban Army and two thousand cavalry, given for free.

"Let all the generals come here, immediately."

The order was conveyed quickly.

Soon, Wang Qian, Lin Qiaomei and others hurried over.

Seeing that everyone was there, Lin Feng calmed down.

"Li Donglai's 1,000 cavalrymen have been surrounded by the Black Turban Army for an hour. Since the rebels have dug a trap, they must be targeting more than just these 1,000 cavalrymen. They are probably waiting for our rescue team."

As he spoke, he pointed at the map.

"Ji County is over 500 miles away from us, and we have the rebel camp in between. Encircling a point and attacking the reinforcements is something anyone can do. How should we fight back?"

Li Donglai was the most anxious: "Boss, just tell me how to fight. If we drag it on, Zong Huan might not be able to hold on."

Lin Feng shook his head: "In one hour, forty thousand men surrounded a thousand cavalrymen. You don't have to worry. This loss can only be made up from the Black Scarf Army."

Li Donglai sighed dejectedly. He understood it in his heart, but he was still unwilling to accept it.

"The Black Scarf Army is waiting for our cavalry to come to their rescue. Two cavalry units of a thousand men have already arrived."

Lin Feng glanced at everyone.

"I hope the commanders of these cavalry units have brains."

This reminded him of Tao Jinwang. As a captain of a thousand men, this guy was not only brave but also smart.

After all, there are too few such grassroots commanders.

"Xiniang, take all the thunderbolts. Divide your camp into two parts. One part will lead the way, and the other will follow behind to block the pursuers."

"Yes, General."

Lin Feng turned his head to look at Zhao Shuo: "You lead the team to pull up the flying ball, find the right position, and launch an aerial attack."

"Okay, big brother, I'll go right away."

Zhao Shuo agreed, stood up and rushed out.

"Zhu Jie, your engineering battalion will be leading the way. We need a road that can accommodate tanks. The direction is this."

He pointed on the map to Zhu Jie.

After Zhu Jie saw it clearly, he said to Chu Jiao.

"Your Heavy Armor Battalion will follow the Engineer Battalion and lead the way. Xie Zhong's Chariot Battalion and part of Xi Niang's Catapult Battalion will be in the front half of the team, keeping an eye on the rebels' movements. Lin Qiaomei's Long-Range Attack Battalion will be in the back, cooperating with the second part of the Catapult Battalion to block the Black Turban Army's pursuit."

Several people should answer together.

"Wang Qian, Hu Jincai, and Li Donglai, your light cavalry battalion, walk in the middle and be on standby at all times."

Li Donglai frowned and said, "Boss, we can't move at this speed."

"I don't want speed, I want stability. The worst thing to do right now is to avoid rash actions. If we fall into the rebels' trap, the losses will be even greater."

"Yes, the boss is right. We should proceed steadily and avoid further losses."

Lin Feng exhaled: "Abandon the two camps, leave 3,000 people in Kan County for defense, and the rest of the team, prepare to set off."

After everyone responded loudly, they stood up and ran out.

Lin Feng stepped out of the house and said, "Inform Wei Bao that all the cavalrymen outside who are out of food should quickly gather with the main force."

A guard responded and ran out to deliver the message.

In one county town and two camps, all the soldiers were busy.

The Zhenxi Army had a total of 50,000 troops, and a team of nearly 10,000 cavalry had been sent out to cut off food supplies. The remaining 40,000 troops, except for the 3,000 who stayed behind, were all assembled and left the camp one after another.

The Zhenxi Army's movements were so loud that they had already alarmed the Black Scarf Army's camp.

After receiving the report, Qiu Jie laughed.

"Alright, there's finally some movement. I was worried that you, Lin Feng, wouldn't move. This time, let's see how I'll destroy you."

After saying that, he waved his hand.

"All troops, proceed as planned."

As his orders were conveyed, the Black Turban Army camp also began to move.

The 20,000 palace troops under King Fu also gathered and were on standby at any time.

According to Qiu Jie's idea, he would use the strategy of besieging a point and attacking its reinforcements to eliminate the main force of the Zhenxi Army in one fell swoop.

He was very unconvinced, and with only 100,000 troops, he confronted the 50,000-strong Zhenxi Army.

Don't let people laugh at you.

He couldn't hold his head up in front of King Fu's men.

In the later period, the food and grass became tight, causing great distress to the Zhenxi Army.

Finally, with the assistance of Blue Domain, this plan was devised to turn defeat into victory and break the deadlock.

The first step of the plan was carried out perfectly.

Qiu Jie sent out 40,000 men to surround the 1,000 cavalrymen of the Zhenxi Army in a pit.

Next came his own 40,000 Black Scarf Army, with the cooperation of 20,000 government troops, to attack from the front and back and wipe out the main force of the Zhenxi Army that went to rescue.

Everything is progressing as expected.

The Zhenxi Army had been fooled, and almost the entire army was dispatched to Ji County for rescue.

This is also the situation that Qiu Jie wants to see most.

One hundred thousand versus fifty thousand, this is the day of the decisive battle between the two armies.

Zong Huan and his guards fought hard in the encirclement of 40,000 Black Turban Army.

Originally there were a thousand cavalrymen, but as time went by, the Zhenxi Army's troops became smaller and smaller.

Although many Black Turban Army soldiers were killed, they were too numerous.

Coupled with the Black Scarf Army's tenacity and fearlessness, the Zhenxi Army was gradually entangled in the middle and fell into a tough battle.

The blade of Zong Huan's steel knife had been bent, and the crossbow in his left hand was smashed into pieces.

There were still countless Black Scarf Army soldiers around, and looking around, he could no longer see his own cavalry.

Zong Huan understood that he was doomed this time.

He fell because of his own carelessness and underestimation of the enemy.

The hand holding the knife was sticky and weak, and the next moment, the knife slipped out of his hand.

He felt a pain in his back, as if he had been stabbed by something. Zong Huan leaped towards the black-turbaned soldier closest to him.

He grabbed the opponent's neck with both hands and refused to let go even though the surrounding weapons rained down on him.

After an unknown amount of time, Zong Huan's vision went dark and he lost consciousness.
