257 Shock and Darkness
On the other hand, Ling Fengzi, who had finished the work, flew slowly back to the main camp.
As soon as he landed, he received a notice from the soldiers that it was Ma Zhen and other senior generals who passed him over to speak.
Ling Fengzi naturally had no reason to refuse.
He came to the central army tent and saw Ma Zhen, Yuwen Yan and others in a neat armor, waiting here early, with a solemn and calm expression on his face.
"I had to pay back the horses before. The Chen thief was raiding the vanguard camp at night. The real person rushed to help. Now that he has returned, has he repelled the Chen thief?"
Ma Zhen asked in a deep voice.
When Chen Feng attacked the front-line camp, a spy urgently reported to the main camp, and Ma Zhen asked Yufeng Zhen to come and support him.
However, the military information was not transmitted back later, and Ma Zhen was not clear about the situation. Because Ling Fengzi flew faster than spies, he returned to the camp one step ahead of time, so he had to ask Ling Fengzi first.
Upon hearing this, Ling Fengzi shook his head and explained: "I and Chen Feng are evenly matched, but I can't fight each other for a long time. Chen Feng will take his own way. I can't pursue him alone, so I will stop when I see it."
"I wonder what the situation of the front line camp?" Ma Xia asked.
Ling Fengzi sighed: "The front-line officers and soldiers were stabbed by Chen Feng, and they have been wiped out. The troops who went to support the camps around were also killed."
After the words came to an end, the faces of the officers present changed slightly.
Ma Zhen frowned: "The real man and Chen Zhe have fought against each other many times, but they have never decided to win or lose. Why can't they restrain Chen Zhe this time?"
Ling Fengzi glanced at him and said lightly:
"General Ma's words are asking me for a crime?"
Ma Zhen's face changed slightly, and he was suddenly unhappy
Although he felt a little offensive when he said that, he was dissatisfied when he heard the question from Yufeng Zhenren... As the commander of the three armies, his authority cannot be provoked and questioned. Even if the real person invited him to help the boxing, he could not just give him any face before the generals.
Seeing this, Yuwen Yan coughed, interrupted quickly and said with a smile:
"Don't misunderstand the truth. We have always respected you. Chen Feng suddenly came tonight, and we are limited in preparation. We ask ourselves and our enemy to know each other and we will never be defeated in a hundred battles. We hope that the truth will explain the situation in detail, so that we can also formulate a strategy to face the enemy."
Ling Fengzi didn't get entangled, and sighed and explained:
"In the past, I fought with Chen Feng alone in front of the formation and tacitly avoided the troops on both sides. But tonight, Chen Feng raided the officers and soldiers camps and turned our army into a battlefield. Although I could compete with him, I had no time to protect our soldiers, resulting in heavy casualties."
The officers looked at each other.
Before everyone could continue asking, Ling Fengzi continued to talk to himself:
"According to my opinion, Chen Feng could have done this tonight, but he was arrogant and warlike by nature. In the past, he fought alone with me, perhaps because he wanted to fight fairly with me, and was solemnly suppressing me. But now he was merciless and did everything he could. Mostly because of the officers and soldiers driving away the villagers to fight, angering the bandits, which led to revenge... If Chen Feng used his old tricks to continue attacking the camp, I would be hard to restrain it."
Most of these words were specifically instructed by Zhou Jing when he was separated, asking Bill to come back and give the generals Chaowang to amaze them.
Upon hearing this, Ma Zhen's face changed again.
In his opinion, it was normal for the two armies to fight by any means, but when they first adopted the strategy of driving the people to attack, the real person complained, saying that this move would hurt the world.
It was mentioned again at this time, and the real person was naturally expressing his complaint. Ma Zhen secretly displeased.
In addition, the real person personally admitted that it is difficult to restrain Chen Thief, which makes him even more troubled.
In fact, there is no way. As long as Yufeng Zhenren is willing to imitate Chen Feng and use his magical powers to attack the enemy army, it will have the same effect.
However, Ling Fengzi just refused to let go and always expressed his unwillingness to commit more murders with his own hands.
Ma Zhen ordered him not to move, and he had no choice but to do anything.
The inability to use the same method to restrain the thief army is equivalent to only being beaten and not fighting back. He is so depressed that he is. "Report!"
At this time, the spy finally came back and rushed into the tent.
Ma Zhen cheered up and asked:
“What is the situation on the front line?”
"Report to the Marshal, all the defenders on the front line were destroyed, and many reinforcements were injured and killed. According to the soldiers, the camp was captured by Chen Feng alone, and the Chen thieves chased them and killed them for a long time..."
"It's outrageous. Can Chen Feng attack the camp alone cause such damage?"
Horses are shocked and angry
Hearing this, the spy subconsciously glanced at Ling Fengzi next to him, and wanted to speak but stopped.
Huang Ping, who was on the other side, saw the spy's expression strange and spoke in a deep voice: "Do you have something to say?"
The spy swallowed and said carefully: "The soldiers on the front line said that the deaths of many comrades seemed to be caused by the magical powers of real people. If it weren't for the real people, the casualties might not have been so tragic..."
After the words came, the officers present turned to look at Ling Fengzi, with different expressions.
"Real person, this..."
Ma Zhen frowned and his tone was inexplicable.
Ling Fengzi showed helpless expression and sighed: "Soldiers were affected by the aftermath, and I could do nothing unless I did not fight with Chen Feng and retreat... But no matter what, the deaths of these soldiers were still inseparable from me. This killing karma will be dependent on me, which violates the way I practiced and damages the way I practice."
Seeing him say this, it was hard for everyone to say anything.
After all, they have to rely on Ling Fengzi to continue to deal with Chen Feng. If they feel that it is harmful to their practice and give up the lead and go back to Beijing, then they will be blind.
"In order to prevent Chen thieves from committing crimes, the real person is willing to harm Taoism. This is a act of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. There is no blame. I only blame Chen thieves for being extremely vicious."
Yuwen Yan smiled dryly and gave him a rainbow fart.
The horse's eyes pounded, and he felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, but he had to do it back.
He didn't want to bother with this anymore, changed the subject and asked in a deep voice:
"The Chen thief is fierce and powerful. If he makes a comeback, how should he deal with it? He can't repeat the current situation. Can the generals have a plan?"
When everyone present heard this, they immediately lowered their heads and said nothing, and could not help.
They are all people who know the soldiers. If a real person cannot get along with Chen Feng, with Chen Feng's mobility and lethality, they can be said to be free to come and go. As long as they keep attacking the camp, they can cause great damage to the officers and soldiers, which is almost an indestructible battle method.
Ma Zhen felt solemn and more agreed with Pang Shumi's instructions before leaving.
Sure enough, this Chen thief is not a brave but a scheming person, but a scattered figure... The Pojun killed the generals and captured the city with all his might. The momentum was like the thunder in the sky, and the attack was so strong that it was the best person from ancient times to the present, and it was really difficult to deal with.
The more Ma Zhen thought about it, the more trouble he felt. He really didn't know how to restrain such enemies.
This world has never been exposed to extraordinary wars, so it has no relevant experience accumulation at all.
Even if Ma Zhen can come up with a solution, it is hard to cook without rice... After all, the only extraordinary person under his command who can match the enemy's top combat power is still a deep water barb wolf.
"...Send orders to strengthen night guards and must not be rested."
Ma Zhen took a deep breath and could only do some regular precautions, better than nothing
The five strategies to defeat the thief worked, but he also released an unscrupulous tiger. He didn't know which one is more pros and cons is greater, so he couldn't help but feel a little upset.
But there is no way. If you want to defeat the thief, you have to do everything and cannot be reserved.
Maybe it's time to consider retreating and prepare for the final killer...
A thought flashed through Ma Zhen's heart.
....
That night, the official army was completely destroyed in one front line camp. On the second day, the officers and soldiers had to go to clean up the battlefield and deal with the dead bodies.
The officers and soldiers who sorted out the battlefield all saw the cruel tragic situation here, and were frightened, and they felt that the purgatory on earth was nothing more than that.
There were many survivors participating in the support that night, and soon the news spread in the army, and more and more officers and soldiers learned about the situation that night.
--Chen Feng alone killed a camp and repelled reinforcements from all walks of life. Even though the attacked camp found out about the opponent early and prepared to face the enemy, he still could not escape the end of annihilation of the entire army.
As a result, the soldiers guarding in various camps were panicked, afraid that Chen Feng would use his old tricks again, so he found other front-line camps to go to the market.
hand,
Even if I know in advance, I can't stop it!
Shocked by this battle, the morale of the imperial soldiers and horses plummeted, and the morale of the army was fluctuating. I just felt that how they could match this monster with their physical body would only be eaten by the enemy little by little, which was no different from dying.
What's more, there were rumors that Chen Feng was a man-eating demon and liked to eat people's hearts the most. This rumor was unanimously agreed by countless soldiers, as if the more cruel and terrifying Chen Feng was, the more in line with their image.
For the next period of time, Zhou Jing did not stay idle and attacked repeatedly.
Because the court adopted the five strategies to defeat the thieves and control the people, Zhou Jing simply tried the bandits in Huyang, and personally brought a group of troops to move outside the area controlled by Longwangzhai, raiding the territory where the imperial army was stationed, coming and going like the wind.
The officers and soldiers were too thin to run and could not hold back at all. The attacked soldiers faced Chen Feng's troops and had no power to fight.
With Zhou Jing's successive victory, the civil control that the imperial army had only re-established not long ago declined in succession, and the effects of the five strategies for breaking the thieves were affected and became increasingly difficult to maintain.
However, Chen Feng was gone to the Longwang Village, so Chaowang army took the opportunity to launch multiple powerful attacks.
Unfortunately, the soldiers and generals of the Dragon King Village are also experienced and resilient, resisting waves of offensives, and can organize counterattacks from time to time. If the officers and soldiers are careless, they will suffer losses.
The imperial army could not defeat the strong attack and returned without success many times. Ma Zhen kept asking Ling Fengzi to help break the village, but was rejected every time.
Seeing the great fighter plane slipping away again and again, Ma Zhen became more and more dissatisfied with Ling Fengzi's attitude.
Dragon King Village, some pass
This place is located on the other front, blocking all the troops of the court and preventing the enemy from entering and attacking the headquarters.
Fan Zong is one of the guards of this pass.
This night.
Fan Zong was drinking and drinking alone in the room, as if he was worried.
At this time, a personal soldier came in to report:
"Someone outside asked for a visit, and he claimed to be the leader's fellow townsman, named Cao Sheng."
"Oh? Please come in."
Fan Zong has an impression of this name and is a former friend.
Soon, a middle-aged man in a paulo came in and clasped his fists in panic: "Brother Fan, do you still remember me
?"
"Haha, naturally remember, sit down."
Fan Zong called him to take his seat and asked someone to add a pair of chopsticks
Cao Sheng sat down and said, "Brother, why are you drinking alone?"
"Just two drinks...but you, how did you come to see me today?"
Fan Zong is a little curious
He remembered that this fellow villager had only rarely had contact with each other and had not seen each other for some years.
"I'm entrusted by someone to come and send a letter." "Oh, who is it?"
Cao Sheng glanced left and right, approached Fan Zong's ear, and lowered his voice: "The court."
Fan Zong's face suddenly changed, he looked at him with a squinted eyes
Cao Sheng felt cold when he was seen. He hurriedly took out a letter from his sleeve's secret pocket, submitted it quietly, and explained in a low voice:
"The eldest brother is known as the King of Jinlin. He is one of the three famous Huyang dragons. The court admires the eldest brother's skills and specially finds the younger brother to be a lobbyist. He wants to recruit the eldest brother and give him a bright future."
"The three dragons in Huyang have been old. I have been in charge of the role of Master Chen for two or three years. Now I am just an ordinary leader under his command."
Fan Zong's tone was neither salty nor light, but he did not immediately ask his personal soldiers to come in and arrest people, but took the letter and read it.
This is a handwritten letter from a commander among the officers and soldiers. In addition to the scenes, they are all conditions for recruitment.
Seeing this, Feisheng felt a truth in his heart, and secretly felt that there was a chance, so he advised him
"Brother, you are also a well-known figure. After all, you were the leader of a village. How could you bear to be punished by strange people? The eldest brother was defeated by Chen Feng and had no choice but to surrender to that person. Don't you feel frustrated? Now the government is willing to give up official positions and recruit the eldest brother. Why don't you abandon this group of thieves and return to the right path? You must know that rebellion is a matter of killing the nine clans. How can you miss this opportunity to turn back?"
"You'll think about me."
Fan Zong was not angry either, but just looked down and read the letter, then placed the letter on the candlelight and burned it.
"Brother, Chen Feng's actions violate the laws of heaven and will be punished by heaven. Why do you have to go to the same path with him?"
Cao Sheng was very thoughtful.
Fan Zong frowned, his face hesitated, as if he was fighting against heaven and man, and shook his head and said:
"Let me go back and send a message. I'll consider this matter again... If the news leaks out, then don't mention it again and leave."
Hearing this, Cao Sheng knew that Fan Zong would not make up his mind so quickly, so he did not dare to urge him, so he quickly stood up and said goodbye and went back to reply.
Fan Zong watched him leave, subconsciously stroked his gray beard, and his face changed.
He has been in the Longwang Village for several years. His former village leader is now just an ordinary leader on the mountain, and his status is really a bit embarrassing.
Most of the leaders who were originally following him have been divided and completely integrated into the Dragon King Village.
For example, I took over the former military advisor Du Ying, who devoted himself to Chen Feng. Now he still has his seat on his head and rarely interacts with him.
That kind of staying away is like saying, "Don't contact me, I'm afraid the leader will misunderstand."
Fan Zong was the first force to be subdued by Chen Feng. He surrendered and surrendered in order to save his life. He had no choice but to do it and eventually became the only survivor among the three dragons of Huyang.
But in the past few years, due to the gap in status, he became increasingly unsuccessful.
Now the imperial court wants to poach him, give him a way out of retreat, buy him open the pass he guarded, and allow officers and soldiers to go straight into and break into the backyard of the Dragon King Village.
As long as you can help the court achieve things, you will not only be unwise in the past, but also get an official position and become a superior. "Is it a cliff to turn back...
