Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 439: Killing Two Birds with One Arrow

Li Jiping glared at him.

Zhang Enyi chuckled and said, "We're brothers, so don't hide anything. How could I not know what's on your mind?"

Li Jiping sighed, "Alas, I wanted to marry Lin Feng before and give him Xinyan, but Lin Feng refused."

"So, the adults took..."

Li Jiping quickly shook his head: "It was indeed that girl's own idea to secretly follow the delegation to Zhenxi. I was just going along with it."

Zhang Enyi nodded: "It seems that Lin Feng is indeed a man who can accomplish great things. Even with such a beautiful woman in front of him, he is not tempted."

"You are such a hero, we must be careful."

Li Jiping said cautiously.

"Alas, we are in need of such a young and promising hero."

The two were sighing when suddenly a soldier came out of the door and reported loudly.

"Report, Commander-in-Chief, 20,000 Qingshui troops have captured Dadur City within 300 miles of Tiezhen territory."

"what?"

Li Jiping and Zhang Enyi stared at each other in shock for a moment.

"Commander-in-Chief, it has been reported that the leader of the 20,000 Qingshui Army is none other than General Lin Feng, the Western Guard General."

Li Jiping took a deep breath.

"So, Lin Feng led his men into the Tiezhen border?"

Zhang Enyi frowned and asked, "What does he think?"

Li Jiping shouted loudly: "Investigate further, and try to be as detailed as possible."

The soldier agreed, got up and ran away.

Li Jiping walked around the room and clapped his hands vigorously.

"It's really amazing!"

Zhang Enyi stared at him with confused eyes.

"Sir, what should I say?"

Li Jiping sneered.

"Old Zhang, Lin Feng's plan kills two birds with one stone. Not only can he invade the Tartars' territory and vent his hatred, but he can also indirectly resolve our crisis."

Zhang Enyi was still confused.

Li Jiping scratched his head. "When masters fight, do I need to explain it clearly? It's all in one move, one action. What a talent!"

"But what does it have to do with us if he breaks into the Tartar territory?"

"Old Zhang, Dadur City is close to us, so how can Wanyan Nahe just sit there and watch?"

Zhang Enyi slapped his thigh and said, "Well, the Tartar royal family is too far away. Wanyan Nahe will definitely come to rescue them. Isn't that a solution to Yinzhou's difficulties?"

Li Jiping added: "Who is Lin Feng? If Wanyan Nahe dares to go there, he will only seek death."

"Hahaha...yes, yes, that's the Tartar's way to death."

"Hehehe..."

The two of them smiled at each other and felt very happy.

Li Jiping waved his hand and said, "Old Zhang, once the Tartars send their troops to rescue, you can lead the army yourself and drive them out of the Western Xia territory in one fell swoop."

"Okay, don't worry, sir, and see what I can do."

Zhang Enyi agreed confidently.

Just as they said, Wanyan Nahe, the Iron-clad and Golden-armored leader who led the invasion of Western Xia, received the battle report and the imperial edict.

Lin Feng's 20,000 Qingshui troops have captured the city of Dadur in the Tiezhen Kingdom.

The emperor issued an order, ordering Wanyan Nahe to drive the Zhenxi Qingshui Army out of the Tiezhen border.

Wanyan Nahe sat in the central military tent, frowning and thinking.

I've always heard that the Zhenxi Qing navy is powerful, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful.

He actually defeated Wanyan Wuzhi's 40,000 troops and chased them into his own territory.

The silver-armored women Xilie and Pei Man, who were standing below, looked indignant.

"Sir, let me lead 5,000 cavalrymen to drive the Qingshui Army out of the country."

Nu Xilie said loudly.

Wanyan Nahe glanced at him with disdain.

"Lord Wanyan Wuji's 40,000 troops were defeated. You, 5,000 cavalry?"

Pei Man is relatively steady and cautious, which is rare in Tiezhen's army.

"Sir, how did General Wanyan Wuji lose?"

"Well, I heard that Lin Feng used the thunder from heaven to break through the camp fence, and then used chariots and heavy armor to defeat the cavalry."

Wanyan Nahe said thoughtfully.

Pei Man and Nu Xilie's pupils shrank at the same time.

"Tianlei?"

Wanyan Nahe waved his hand: "It's just a rumor. I think it's Wanyan Wuji's excuse."

Pei Man said cautiously, "Sir, I think we need to allocate half of our forces to more confidently defeat the Qingshui Army."

Wanyan Nahe nodded and said, "That's right. We won't be able to defeat them with fewer men. No matter how much they exaggerate, they are still 40,000 elite soldiers of the Iron Realm. They shouldn't be underestimated."

Nu Xilie said quickly, "Sir, then give me 10,000 cavalrymen to crush the Qingshui Army's camp."

Wanyan Nahe stared into his eyes for a long while.

Even the female Xilie lowered her head because of his stare.

"Nv Xilie leads 5,000 cavalry here. Be careful of reinforcements from Yinzhou."

The two silver-armored men looked up in surprise and looked at Wanyan Nahe.

"This General will lead 15,000 elite cavalry to defend against the Qingshui Army's continued northward advance."

Wanyan Nahe spoke very conservatively. He did not dare to make bold statements like defeating the enemy or driving them out of the country. He only used the defense strategy.

Nu Xilie felt disdainful in her heart, but didn't dare to say much.

Pei Man fully agreed with Wanyan Nahe's statement.

He had long heard of the power of the Qingshui Army. Lin Feng had always been cunning and scheming. In recent days, he had defeated Wanyan Qingtian step by step and forced him to retreat in the camp, not daring to show his face.

Wherever good fortune comes, there must be a reason.

It is still the general manager who is acting prudently. If he were to do it, I am afraid that the 20,000 troops would have to be pulled back to fight against the Qingshui Army.

If you underestimate your opponent, you will inevitably suffer a great loss.

Wanyan Nahe formulated a strategy and immediately ordered the entire army to prepare.

Aided by Pei Man, his fifteen bronze-armored warriors, each leading a thousand-man team, packed their bags.

After lunch, we broke camp and set off towards the border.

Fifteen thousand cavalrymen moved very quickly, and the light cavalry were familiar with the route.

In less than two days, they entered the Tiezhen border.

When they were still fifty miles away from Dadur City, Wanyan Nahe ordered to set up camp.

He was considered a relatively stable general in the Tiezhen royal family, and was always known for his steadiness and prudence.

It changed the way of using iron cavalry to charge and attack without regard for the consequences.

After setting up camp, the cavalry in front reported back.

It was said that the Qing water army was still stationed in Dadur City, and three more camps were set up by the lake outside the city.

Wanyan Nahe was very confused. What kind of formation was this?

He called Pei Man over, and the two of them gathered around the map, looking at the terrain of Dadur City and fell into deep thought.

After a while.

"What do these three camps of Lin Feng mean?"

Pei Man didn't understand either and frowned.

"In theory, he wants to form a pincer attack with the city to contain each other. Setting up the camp like this makes no sense at all."

Wanyan Nahe pondered for a moment.

"It is said that Lin Feng's chariot battalion and heavy armor battalion are very sharp. We need to avoid this terrain and engage their light cavalry."

Pei Man shook his head: "Looking at the situation, the Qingshui Army will not engage us. They should hold the city tightly and wait for us to break it."

Suddenly he pointed at the map and said.

"The camp is by the lake, so close to the city. I'm afraid they're trying to prevent us from cutting off the city's water supply."

"Well, that makes sense."

Pei Man pointed to the Qingshui Army’s camp on the map.

"Sir, they must have stationed most of their forces inside the city. Let's feint an attack on their camp to draw out the troops inside, then we'll attack with all our might and capture the city first."

"What if they don't come out of town to rescue?"

"We can capture the camp, cut off their water supply, and force them to abandon the city."

Wanyan Nahe stroked his beard and pondered for a while.

"That's it. We can't engage in a war of attrition with them."
