Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 500: Ten Thousand Armies

Tao Dazhuang smiled disapprovingly and said, "Give them the courage. Their most elite army has been defeated by us, and they still dare to come?"

Tao Jinwang shook his head: "These guys are very cunning. Perhaps seeing that our numbers have been drastically reduced, they've taken some chances. Who knows?"

"Brother Jinwang, who cares what they think? If they dare to attack the city, we should just retreat."

"Your grandma, you just run away."

"What's the matter? General Lin said that if they come to attack us, we will run away."

Tao Jinwang was worried: "Where can I run to? If I retreat to Dadur City, won't I still have to fight?"

"There are still a thousand people in Dadur City. Three thousand is better than two thousand."

"Well, use your brains. If the Tartars want to fight, they'll bring more than 10,000 or 20,000 men. What difference does our 3,000 or 2,000 make?"

Tao Dazhuang spread his hands and said, "Whatever you say, I'll do it."

"Fuck, you idiot, I'm just discussing this with you."

"I don't know, whatever you say is what it is."

Tao Dazhuang simply gave up thinking and remained silent with his neck stiff.

Tao Jinwang was helpless and stared at the spider web on the roof with a frown.

Only then did he deeply understand how difficult it was for Lin Feng.

It seems easy and pleasant for one person to lead an army and fight here from the west of the town, but it was actually a very difficult process.

Even the slightest mistake would have put the entire army in trouble and ultimately led to defeat and destruction.

Tao Jinwang began to recall the days when he led his troops into battle. He didn't think about so many troublesome things. He just followed orders and charged forward.

No matter what you do, there is someone in charge.

"Alas, the higher the rank, the greater the responsibility, and the less able one's brain is to use..."

After a while, Tao Jinwang sighed.

The excitement after the promotion has disappeared, and what remains is endless troubles and anxiety.

After the Zhenxi Army had all crossed the Jinjiang River.

Lin Feng ordered all the troops to spend the night on the Jinjiang mudflats.

Early the next morning, Lin Feng ordered the troops to deviate slightly and march towards Shanglin Mansion.

This river crossing area is very close to Shanglin Prefecture, less than a hundred miles away.

Because Lin Feng was in a hurry, he ignored Sanjiang Prefecture, but he could not let go of Shanglin Prefecture.

This is the place connecting the two sides of the river and has very important strategic significance. We must take Shanglin Prefecture to ensure that we will have unimpeded access to both sides of Jinjiang in the future.

The prefect of Shanglin Prefecture is called Shang Nongxiang, who is forty-three years old this year and is a Jinshi from the Dazong family.

He once upheld the orthodox status of the Dazong court and rejected Prince Fu's solicitation and temptation three times.

It was simply because the Black Scarf Society infiltrated the city and brought his family into the organization.

This brought the upright and stubborn Magistrate Shang into their camp.

Shang Nongxiang was controlled by the Black Scarf Society. After discovering that the Zhenxi Army was crossing the river, he was forced to send 5,000 provincial troops to stop them.

The leader of the army was Cui Jinquan, the military commander of Shanglin Prefecture.

He originally planned to move slowly and wait and see, so he was the closest to the Fu Wang Army and the Black Scarf Army.

Seeing the two armies being crushed by the Zhenxi Army, and then slaughtered like wolves chasing lambs.

Cui Jinquan was so frightened that he shouted to his soldiers and turned around to run back.

Fortunately, the Zhenxi Army ignored them, allowing them to escape back to Shanglin Prefecture smoothly. The drawbridge was raised and the city gates were closed.

All soldiers took turns to make first-level defense preparations on the city wall.

Shangnongxiang and a group of officials almost did not sleep all night.

They were worried that the Zhenxi Army would come to attack the city, so Cui Jinquan huddled on the city wall and stayed there all night.

It was almost dawn when he fell asleep in the corner in a daze.

Unexpectedly, he was woken up by a soldier just as he fell asleep.

"General Cui, General Cui, please wake up! The Zhenxi Army is at the gate of the city."

Cui Jinquan jumped up with a start, ran to the battlement of the city wall in a few steps, and looked down.

Less than a mile away from the city wall, all you can see are swords and spears standing in rows and flags blocking out the sun.

The rising sun cast a spot of light on the armor, dazzling and blinding.

Cui Jinquan almost fell to the ground, his mouth wide open, almost suffocating.

I have a mother-in-law!

so many people?

He had heard that Lu Ming, the prefect of Dingyuan Prefecture, refused to open the city walls and surrender.

The Zhenxi Army blasted them into pieces with a thunderbolt.

Looking at the scene before us, not to mention the use of heavenly thunder, just with so many people shouting together, wouldn't the city wall be shaken down?

"Keep an eye on me, General."

Cui Jinquan left a word, then turned around and ran towards the city.

He had to go find Magistrate Shang. He had no say in whether to fight or surrender.

If he surrenders, I will just follow him. I am not the main culprit, so there is not much risk.

If Magistrate Shang insists on resisting to the end, I have to make other plans.

In a word, we cannot confront the Zhenxi Army head-on.

Cui Jinquan was thinking about how to protect himself and his family, and ran quickly into the government office gate.

In the lobby of the government office, the prefect Shang Nongxiang was sitting behind a large desk, looking at the files in his hands with a frown on his face.

Cui Jinquan strode in and shouted loudly.

"My Lord, this is bad. The Zhenxi Army is at the gates of the city. There are so many men and horses, probably close to 100,000, my Lord."

Shang Nongxiang was startled when he heard this, and suddenly looked up with his eyes wide open.

"What, one hundred thousand!?"

Cui Jinquan nodded vigorously: "Yes, sir, what should we do?"

Shang Nongxiang was also stunned and didn't know what to say.

Cui Jinquan glanced into the lobby and saw that they were the only two people there, so he immediately approached Shang Nongxiang.

"Sir, we can't stop it, why don't we..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard a sinister voice.

"General Cui, what do you think?"

As the words came out, a man in his thirties walked out from the inner hall, twisting his waist.

The man's face was pale, with only his lips glaringly red.

He glanced at Cui Jinquan with his eyes.

"Oh, haha, what I mean is, why not let Master Mei make the decision."

Cui Jinquan smiled awkwardly.

The head of the Mei Hall smiled softly and pointed at Cui Jinquan with her raised orchid finger.

"You'd better think so."

This person is Mei Yingxue, a leader of the Black Scarf Society.

A man chose a woman's name and behaved like a woman.

Cui Jinquan felt cold all over and quickly stepped aside.

"Sir, with the support of the Black Scarf Society, you can rest assured to defend the city. They can't get in."

Shang Nongxiang's eyes were a little dull and a stiff smile appeared on his face.

"Haha, that's natural, that's..."

Mei Yingxue smiled softly: "With the Virgin Mary's blessing, all enemies will destroy themselves."

After saying that, he twisted his waist and walked out of the lobby, talking as he walked.

"Let me place the Holy Mother on the city wall and watch with my own eyes those who disrespect her perish one by one."

The two people in the lobby stared blankly at Mei Yingxue's disappearing figure.

Cui Jinquan swallowed hard.

"Sir, why do I feel that this matter is going to go badly?"

Shang Nongxiang didn't look at him either, his eyes still fixed on the door.

"What's wrong with that?"

"Sir, please tell me how Dingyuan Prefecture disappeared..."
