Chapter 248: Soldiers Seal the Four Gates
Chapter 248: Soldiers Seal the Four Gates
Dou Weidong received the order and immediately went to the military school to select 500 men and horses, brought all the food and supplies, and rushed to the interception location.
When they arrived at the designated location, they immediately ordered the soldiers to block the three nearby roads.
No one is allowed to pass, no matter who they are.
Dou Weidong himself had a canopy built in the middle of the official road.
There are tables and benches in the pergola, boiled water and brewed hot tea.
Then I sat under the pergola and leisurely enjoyed the vast scenery around me.
He had also heard of Lin Feng in the city.
However, he did not take it seriously.
First, I have never seen it with my own eyes, so who knows whether the legend is true or not?
Second, even if it is true and Lin Feng is powerful, it has nothing to do with him.
Lin Feng would not go down this path either.
Even if Lin Feng is very powerful, who is his immediate superior?
General Du Lisheng is a true royal relative, and his niece is the emperor's favorite concubine.
Dou Weidong was in the provincial army, although he was a fourth-rank general.
However, he is also the one who can walk around the city with impunity.
It was already past noon, and Dou Weidong asked the soldiers to prepare some dishes and also took out a pot of wine.
He poured himself a drink.
Just as he was thinking about staying here for two days and then withdrawing his troops back to the camp to report.
The ground began to shake.
A soldier had already come running to report.
"Report, General, a large group of cavalry has appeared."
"Ok?"
Dou Weidong stood up and looked into the distance.
Not long after, a group of cavalry appeared on the official road in the distance and were running towards this side.
"Come here, form a spear formation and stop them."
Hundreds of soldiers immediately ran to the middle of the road with spears in hand, formed a square formation, and pointed their spears diagonally forward.
In just a dozen breaths, the cavalry in the distance rushed over.
The knight in the front raised his hand.
Signaled the cavalry behind him to stop.
Dou Weidong discovered that this team of cavalry moved very neatly and efficiently.
The armor on his body is bright and clear, and he moves forward and backward with precision.
He stops when he is told to stop. He is very well trained.
"Hey, which team is this from? Why are their equipment different from ours?"
Dou Weidong looked at the cavalry team not far away.
Some of the equipment they wear is similar to that of the government army, but some are different.
The guards beside him also looked confused.
"General, this is undoubtedly a large army, but..."
Dou Weidong waved his hand: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and ask for clarification."
The guard ran forward quickly.
He felt a little uneasy. Could it be that Lin Feng came here?
Whatever you think of will come true, and the soldiers will report it immediately.
The cavalry in front is the defender of Lingdouzi Castle, led by the commander-in-chief Lin Feng.
Dou Weidong calmed himself down and walked forward with his guards.
Arriving in front of the army, he glanced at the cavalry on the opposite side.
"Who is Lin Feng?"
The two riders in front pulled their reins to the side to make way for the middle road.
A man on a white horse came slowly to the front with small steps.
Dou Weidong stared at the young general on the white horse, and he did not look as ferocious as the legend said.
Instead, he looked warm and had a smile on his pretty face.
"Are you Lin Feng?"
"I am Lin Feng, may I know your Excellency..."
"General Dou Weidong of the Zhenxi Prefecture Army, this route is closed. General Lin, please find another way."
“Why is it closed?”
Dou Weidong said impatiently: "Who dares to ask about the order of the General?"
"I wonder if the other gates of the city are open?"
"I don't know. Go and see for yourself."
Lin Feng still had a smile on his face.
"General Dou, give us a reason and we'll leave."
"There is no reason. Retreat immediately, or we will be captured by the chaotic army."
Lin Feng stopped talking, just nodded, lifted the reins and began to back away.
The two sides were about ten steps apart.
Lin Feng gradually retreated into the cavalry team.
Dou Weidong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s nothing big. He was scared away by just two sentences.
He sneered at the horsemen and turned to walk towards the shed.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he heard a horse neighing.
This was followed by a clatter of horse hooves, accompanied by the sound of metal colliding.
Dou Weidong looked back in surprise.
Spotting a cavalry unit not far away, they drew their weapons and urged their horses forward.
Although the warhorse's speed is not fast at this distance, the power of the warhorse charging into the battle formation is enormous when facing a group of infantry.
Dou Weidong shouted loudly: "The spear formation moves forward to hold on."
He ran back while shouting.
The spear team standing in the middle of the road quickly pointed their spears diagonally forward to meet the oncoming war horses.
But, with the sound of a bowstring.
There were chaotic screams from the spear formation, and dozens of soldiers fell to the ground after being shot by arrows.
Before they could react, a group of war horses crashed into the spear formation, knocking the soldiers standing on the road away.
With almost no resistance, the soldiers of the government army fled in disorder into the fields.
Dou Weidong quickly quickened his pace and called on the guards to lead the warhorse.
Who knew that while he was running, a warhorse ran up to his side and stretched out a foot from the side of the warhorse and kicked him on the back.
Dou Weidong fell forward, his ears filled with the clatter of horse hooves.
He was so frightened that he curled up and dared not move, for fear of being trampled by the horse's hooves.
Five hundred soldiers of the government army gathered around in a mess, staring blankly at their leader being grabbed by the collar and held in the hands.
Two sturdy soldiers held Dou Weidong and asked him to look up and ahead.
Dou Weidong felt dizzy and could only see a white scene in front of him.
After finally adjusting the focus, I could see clearly that it was still the white horse in front of me.
Looking up again, it was still that young and warm face.
"General Dou, can you tell me now why the road is closed?"
Dou Weidong really didn't expect that Lin Feng would dare to attack the government army.
At most, they would argue with reason or shout at each other.
Then they argued fiercely and each team faced off against each other.
This is the procedure that should be followed.
However, before the smile on Lin Feng's face disappeared, he took action the next moment.
Dou Weidong felt something hard hitting his back.
"Ah, I received an order from the capital to lead a team to close the road. The specific reason is unclear."
"Did they say that no one is allowed to walk?"
"All pedestrians are prohibited from walking."
Lin Feng nodded: "Okay, let them continue to close the road. We are not pedestrians, so we will not be turned away."
After saying that, he waved to the cavalry and said, "Let's go into the city."
Dou Weidong quickly shouted, "General Lin, you can't pass through here either."
"Haha, General Dou, you can say we came from somewhere else."
"Nowhere else is allowed. The commander-in-chief has ordered that no one can go there."
Lin Feng shook his head: "Then let me report the losses to you. You have done your best to serve the capital."
Before he finished speaking, one of the soldiers holding him pulled out his sword with a choking sound.
The sharp steel knife was placed on Dou Weidong's neck.
Just about to pull the knife hard.
Dou Weidong was so frightened that his legs went limp and his crotch felt hot.
Damn, this Lin Feng, he starts to attack if something he says is wrong.
What kind of temper is this? There is no sign at all.
"Slow down, General Lin, you can pass through here without any casualties."
Lin Feng smiled: "In that case, we need General Dou to lead the way."
"what?"
Dou Weidong fell into a daze again.
Why did the rules change again?
