The Black Mountain Battalion left more than 12,000 men and horses under the leadership of Yan Liang to continue the siege of Lunu City. Chu Yan led 5,000 cavalry with Lunu as the center and launched a spiral sweep from west to east, killing all those who were unwilling to lay down their weapons.
Counties and towns that surrendered were eradicated one by one.
Lin Feng sat at the foot of Lunu City for two days. On the early morning of the third day, he ordered the cannon to be lit and set out to attack the enemy's fortress.
When I heard that the Heishan Battalion of the Lin Army outside the city was once again attacking the enemy, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Jiang Yiqu, the most capable fighter in Lunu City, has never been willing to go out to challenge Lin Jun in a one-on-one battle since his helmet was blown off by Chu Yan in the first contact battle at the Zhongshan border.
Therefore, since the beginning of the war, Lin Jun went out to fight for nothing, knowing that no one from the Zhongshan Army would challenge him, but he used this method to gradually undermine the morale and morale of the Zhongshan Army.
He didn't send anyone to call Jiang Yiqu. He climbed up to the south city tower in person and looked down at the crenels.
Of course, he didn't want to go out of the city to fight. If it was Shen Pei, Guo Tu and others could really get on their horses and fight the enemy. Fengji was really not capable. He was a real weak scholar, not to mention that he was incapable of restraining a chicken.
His combat effectiveness is at most the same as that of ordinary people.
When he came to the city gate building, Feng Ji wanted to verify the guesses he had been making in the past few days.
Ever since Tan Ma came to report that Lin Feng and his army had arrived outside the city, Lin's army had not attacked the city once. Jiang Yiqu was quite proud of this and believed that the longer the delay, the greater the chance of reinforcements from Hejian and Changshan arriving.
The army is at a disadvantage.
Of course, Feng Ji would not trust Yuan Shao so blindly. According to his estimation, Hejian and Changshan are probably already in danger of protecting themselves, and it is absolutely impossible to send reinforcements to Zhongshan.
Even because of Lin Feng's arrival, Feng Ji felt that Dong Zhao and Chun Yuqiong in Changshan were probably in danger.
Under the city, the Lin Army's camp fired cannons and flags. Amidst the thunderous sound of military drums, a group of well-equipped men and horses rushed out from the center of the formation gate. They lined up left and right in the shape of wild geese wings, suppressing the corners of the formation.
Immediately, the Hu Lei Leopard under Lin Feng's crotch rushed out of the camp in small steps, raised the Xuanhua ax in his palm, and danced it several times above his head, causing the entire Lin army to roar like a volcano.
"Invincible! Invincible! Invincible!"
Feng Ji watched Lin Feng's performance below the city blankly, his heart filled with bitterness.
It was the young man in front of him who was only a weakling, but he had ruined half of his life's hard work.
I originally thought that I could help Yuan Shao to pacify Northern Hebei, unify the north, and complete the good name of reviving the Han Dynasty in history. However, before my dream could unfold, someone was trying to destroy it and crush everything.
Judging from Lin Feng's current strength, it will take at most three to four years to wipe out Youzhou. At that time, with the power of the three Youzhou, Hebei and Qingzhous, he will go south to compete with the princes for supremacy. What a blood-curdling scene it will be.
What a pity. Fengji really wanted to see with his own eyes the moment when Jizhou's soldiers and horses swept across the world, but it was a pity that he couldn't see it. Jizhou was about to change hands. It's just that he was blind and mistakenly worshiped the temple gate, joined the Bohai camp, and gave up the plains.
.
If I had known today, why bother in the beginning?
Jiang Yiqu, who rushed over in a hurry, didn't know what was going on in Feng Ji's mind. He lay on the crenel and looked out for a moment, then turned back to Feng Ji and said, "Mr. Yuan Tu, it seems that Lin Jun will attack the city again today, and finally this general will
Just go and prepare the equipment that will be used to defend the city."
Nodding weakly, Feng Ji turned his attention to Lin Feng again.
It's great to be young, you can show your pride and pride unscrupulously.
Lin Feng urged his horse to stop within a stone's throw of Lunu city wall, raised his head and shouted loudly.
"Is Mr. Yuan Tu in the city in front of you?"
Feng Ji held his hand on the city wall and put his head out. He answered with a smile on his face: "It's Feng. Is this the governor of Qingzhou, Mr. Lin, who is under the city?"
Lin Feng didn't want to have a casual conversation with Fengji.
"Mr. Yuan Tu, the situation is now clear. There is no chance of winning at all. Why are you trapped in an isolated city for the sake of vain hope?"
Feng Ji sighed: "There is always hope."
"No, in fact, sir, I already know in my heart that Benchu will definitely fail this time."
"My lord may not have as strong a force as Mr. Lin now, but if we can borrow troops from Youzhou immediately, we still don't know who will win."
Lin Feng laughed.
"Why should Mr. Yuan Tu continue to deceive himself? To be honest, Changshan County has fully surrendered. Now both Dong Zhao and Chunyu Qiong are willing to return to the court and go to Pingyuan to meet their emperor."
The meaning of these words is obvious. Dong Zhao and Chunyu Qiong are no longer holding the official positions assigned by Yuan Shao, and are preparing to go to the plains to accept the title of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
After entering the plains, did you meet Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty? Didn't you eventually become an official under Lin Feng?
At the end of the day, he changed his expression and said, "Don't be alarmist, Mr. Lin. There are 20,000 elite soldiers in Changshan County, and Dong Zhao and Chun Yuqiong are both capable of serving as kings' assistants. How can you take this place easily?"
Lin Feng shook his head and did not argue.
He knew that Feng Ji knew that this was not a lie, and Feng Ji also knew that Lin Feng knew that he knew, but in front of the two armies, how could Feng Ji be willing to inflate the spirit of Lin Jun and destroy his own prestige? Naturally, he would try his best to deny this news.
.
"Mr. Yuan Tu, Feng is not coming here to have a verbal dispute with you. He just wants to advise you. For the sake of the lives of the people in the city and the soldiers, it is better to open the city and surrender as soon as possible.
Policy. Otherwise, under the siege of our army, Lunu City will definitely turn into a hell on earth. How can you bear to let Lunu City be buried with you needlessly?"
After Feng Ji heard Lin Feng's words, he felt sad for a moment. There seemed to be something stuck in his throat. He opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.
How could he not know that Lin Feng was telling the truth?
The advantage now lies with Lin Jun. They don't need to risk siege. They only need to besiege Lunu City for a month or two. When the food and grass in the city are exhausted, everyone will be destroyed.
As a demon, eating corpses, sucking blood and exchanging sons for food is just ordinary, but even more terrifying, ferocious and unhuman things will happen in the city.
Holding on to the city wall with trembling hands, Feng Ji suddenly shouted to Lin Feng below the city: "Lin Zhirou, can you really bear to watch the whole city of Lunu die miserably before you give up?"
Lin Feng's face straightened: "Where do you start talking about this? The fate of the whole city of Lunu is determined by your words, but it has nothing to do with Lin."
Fengji suddenly coughed violently, and the blood he coughed up couldn't be covered, and it kept spewing out from between the fingers of his right hand that was covering his mouth and nose.
The soldiers on both sides quickly supported Feng Ji, but he was thrown away by him, and he threw himself at the crenel again with blood on his face.
The blood in his mouth was the stagnation in his chest that had been squeezed out by anger.
"Lin Zhirou, if I open the city to surrender, can you guarantee that you will not treat the people of Zhongshan harshly?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Lin Feng looked up to the sky and laughed: "Mr. Yuan Tu, if you hadn't stopped me, I'm afraid the people in Zhongshan would have moved to Qinghe and Plains with their families, right?"
Nowadays, everyone in the world knows that Jingzhou in the south can survive, and the plains in the north are paradise.
Among the princes in the world, only Lin Feng had the lightest taxes and the least corvee under his rule.
It is true as Lin Feng said, if Fengji and Shenpei had not tried hard to find ways to prevent the people under their rule from traveling, the three counties of Yuan and Shao would not have been completely emptied, but the loss of half of the population is not an exaggeration.
Feng Ji drew back his head again and coughed violently. This time he vomited more blood, and spots were everywhere on the city wall.
After he recovered, he waved his hand again to disperse the soldiers surrounding him, and leaned half of his body out of the crenel several times.
"Master Lin, since ancient times, success has been king and defeat. Master Yuan did not lose to the Pingyuan Group, but lost to luck. If he had not hesitated in Qinghe City and sent an army to attack the city, the situation for you and me would be reversed now.
.”
Lin Feng nodded: "I admit that I was gambling at the time, but the final result was that I won, wasn't it?"
Fengji looked like he was crazy, and he no longer even tried to hide it. He laughed loudly and wildly at Lin Feng. The blood sprayed from his mouth floated in the wind, and dripped on the wall of Lunu.
"Lin Zhirou, the fourth and third prince of the Yuan clan in Runan, has made great contributions to the country. I hope you will unify Jizhou in the future, and you must not massacre the queens of the noble clan without any reason."
Without waiting for Lin Feng's response, Feng Ji turned around and shouted loudly to the soldiers not far behind him: "After my death, Zhongshan Hejun please surrender, and no more unnecessary sacrifices are allowed."
After saying that, Fengji kicked his legs hard on the city wall, turned over and jumped from the top of Lunu City.
Clothes rustled in the air, and at the same time, Feng Ji looked up to the sky and shouted: "Heaven wants to destroy me, and it is not a crime of war!"
Snapped!
With a dull loud noise, Feng Ji, one of Yuan Shao's four masterminds and known to be unparalleled in wit, turned into blood and mud.
