When Lin Jiang's 5,000 troops appeared     under Fengzhou City , the expression of the governor He on the city wall became tense, and the guards held their breath. Many of them had already retreated.

Governor He was also furious at the low efficiency of Fengzhou. It had been quite some time since Lin Jiang took over Qishan Prefecture. He had already ordered the mobilization of the army. If the efficiency was high, it would not be surprising for Fengzhou to gather 100,000 or 80,000 troops. But now, he only had more than 20,000 troops.

Other local officials either used the excuse that there were refugees rebelling in their own territory or the excuse that the military pay was insufficient. In short, they had various reasons not to come. Even if they were paid enough, they would still walk more than ten miles a day. They were still dragging their feet and had not yet reached Fengzhou City.

"General Sun, the enemy army has appeared. Are you sure you can annihilate the enemy?"

Governor He asked a general beside him. This was his direct confidant, and all the troops under his command were controlled by this General Sun.

"Sir, the enemy is too strong, we can't fight recklessly,"

General Sun said with a stiff face. He knew military affairs, and he could tell whether the enemy was strong by looking at its posture. The thousands of people from Linjiang arrived in an orderly manner, not at all chaotic. They camped under the city, and the camp was built in a regular manner, with trenches, camp walls, and watchtowers. Scouts were distributed all around. It was difficult to attack such a military camp.

"Twenty thousand elite soldiers can't beat their five thousand people?"

"Sir, the two armies are fighting, and the victory or defeat is not determined by the number of people,"

General Sun said. If fighting depends on the number of people, how could the State of Chen be defeated? How many demons did they have?

"The enemy troops are approaching Fengzhou City. If we don't repel the enemy, how can Fengzhou save face, how can the State of Chen save face? General Sun should quickly think of a strategy to repel the enemy. Whatever you want, I will support you,"

said the governor. He was a master of politics, but he was not proficient in military affairs, so he did not interfere arbitrarily, but only asked General Sun to think of a strategy to repel the enemy as soon as possible.

········

In the military camp, Lin Jiang arranged for people to set up camp. In fact, according to Lin Jiang's idea, there was no need for this, but when he thought that the generals in the army would definitely lead the troops alone in the future, he let them exercise.

"Sir, the camp is ready."

"Come with me to inspect it."

Qin Yong came to report, and Lin Jiang and Qin Yong went to inspect the military camp.

Qin Yong explained to Lin Jiang how to set up camp one by one. The first choice of the camp is to be close to a water source, and it is better to be close to a place, so as to reduce the attack surface. In addition, trenches, fences, wooden walls, etc. must be complete.

In fact, Qin Yong's level of leading troops is not high. He only learned from his father for a few years before, but he had no experience in leading troops alone. Now he completely copied the military books and set up camp according to the textbooks.

"Your father was the Lieutenant General of Fengzhou back then. He held a high position and should have many old subordinates."

"Yes, many of them are on the city wall. They are definitely brave generals in the army,"

Qin Yong said. His father had a high military position before and was one of the most powerful people in the military of Fengzhou. He also had a group of capable and good fighters under his command, but his father had been killed.

Privately releasing the rebels was a real crime, but more people died in internal strife, because his father was loyal to the court, and the governor wanted to secede, so he was killed.

"We still lack some generals with actual combat experience in the army. You will be responsible for recruiting them when the time comes."

"Yes, sir."

"Okay, let's go back. We will attack the city in three days. Be careful tonight and don't let anyone sneak into the camp."

Lin Jiang nodded. Experienced predecessors are very important. They can help a large army avoid detours and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

Starting from the second day, the rebels began to manufacture siege equipment, such as siege vehicles, and Lin Jiang also brought a lot of craftsmen with the army.

Three days later, Lin Jiang led his army out of the camp and approached Fengzhou City. According to the normal method of defending the city, a large army should be stationed under the city to prevent the enemy from directly attacking the city wall, but Fengzhou City did not do so now. From this, we can see the military spirit of Fengzhou City.

According to the process, Lin Jiang shot a letter of surrender to Fengzhou City, but half a day passed and Fengzhou City still did not respond. Lin Jiang walked out of the formation alone.

"I will go up to the city wall and kill all the defenders on it. As soon as I go up, you will immediately start to attack the city ."

Lin Jiang left a sentence and immediately began to gallop towards Fengzhou City.

With him, no matter what tactics he wants, he, Lin Jiang, is the most powerful tactic.

"Release"

On the city wall, General Sun saw Lin Jiang charging alone and immediately shouted.

In an instant, bows and arrows like a rainstorm shot down from the top of the city, and there were also several powerful crossbows. Lin Jiang's horse suffered an unexpected disaster because Lin Jiang directly jumped up and shot the horse into a hornet's nest.

Lin Jiang encountered countless arrows in the air and he took them all. By the time Lin Jiang ran out of breath, he had already arrived under the city wall. He stepped on the wall with one foot, borrowed some strength, and landed on top of it.

"Kill him!"

General Sun roared, and a large number of warriors from both sides came to kill him. All of them were above the Xiantian level, and the leader was the Martial Saint invited by Governor He. "

Break"

Lin Jiang didn't do anything fancy, just slashed with a knife, and the violent sword aura appeared. The face of the leading Martial Saint changed drastically, and he hurriedly grabbed a shield to resist.

"Bang"

The shield exploded in his hand, and he himself flew backwards, his mind was blank. When he looked closely, he saw that Lin Jiang was like a tiger into a flock of sheep, killing indiscriminately.

Xiantian warriors, martial arts masters, and martial arts grand masters were no different from other ordinary soldiers in front of Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang didn't even wear armor, and relied on his powerful internal strength to form a strong aura to resist. Occasionally, a martial arts grand master would break Lin Jiang's aura, but found that ordinary swords and knives were useless when they were cut on Lin Jiang.

"How can a mortal body be so hard?"

The martial saint was dumbfounded. He knew that some warriors practiced the art of horizontal training, which could make their skin and bones extremely hard and difficult to be injured by swords and guns. However, this premise was that ordinary people's swords and guns, while warriors' swords and guns would be attached with internal strength to form Gangqi. A powerful warrior could break steel with wood.

"Run"

The next moment, the martial saint ran away directly. He was originally a warrior from a martial arts sect in Fengzhou. He was recruited by Governor He with a lot of money. Now he had fought with Lin Jiang. He was defeated, so he was not sorry for Governor He. After all, no matter how much money you have, you have to live to spend it.

As soon as Lin Jiang started, Qin Yong ordered an attack. The ladders and siege vehicles rushed towards the city wall under the push of the soldiers. The counterattack on the city wall was very weak. They climbed up the city wall at a very small cost.

When Qin Yong came up, he saw that the walls were full of corpses, and there was no place to step. Lin Jiang swept a section of the wall that was dozens of meters long more than ten times. By now, the enemy was so scared that they didn't dare to fight with Lin Jiang.

When Qin Yong sent people to open the city gate and lower the drawbridge, the result of the war had already appeared. With the morale of the Fengzhou City defenders, it was impossible to start a street fight with them. Street fighting is very cruel and requires a lot from the army.

"Qin Yong, you take the surrendered soldiers and come with me."

Lin Jiang shouted and led his men into the city. The high-ranking officials of Fengzhou City, including the governor He, were fleeing at other gates at this time, but the gates were narrow and there were too many people fleeing. They were all crowded together, and few people could squeeze out.

"The enemy is coming"

"Sir Governor, I will take you away"

Governor He still had a few confidants. A martial arts master picked up Governor He, climbed up the city wall, and walked across the city, abandoning his family and everything else.

"Guard the city gates and don't let anyone leave."

Lin Jiang rushed into the crowd, killing people indiscriminately, and then ordered the city gates to be closed, especially those officials and wealthy families who were carrying a lot of wealth, and were not allowed to leave.

At this time, Qin Yong had already surrendered many defenders, many of whom were his father's old subordinates. Qin Yong directly used these people and asked them to take off their clothes, and then they became volunteers and began to control Fengzhou City.

Fengzhou City has a total of five gates, and 500 people were left to guard each gate, while the others searched for remaining enemies in the city and stabilized order.

The battle ended on the second day. During the battle, many areas in the city caught fire. Lin Jiang asked people to put out the fire, and Lin Jiang entered the military camp in the city. There were still a large number of prisoners here. The exact number was unknown, but it was just a large black mass.

Lin Jiang had the officers picked out and detained separately. As for the other soldiers, Lin Jiang began his brainwashing speech. There was nothing he could do. Lin Jiang only brought more than 4,000 people. The army that surrendered was at least 10,000. These 4,000 people had to do various things. They had no power to guard these prisoners. He couldn't learn from Bai Qi.

Lin Jiang had prepared the brainwashing speech long ago. Most of these soldiers had a very low level of education, and the vast majority were illiterate. You could not reason with them, but they would not listen.

So Lin Jiang only talked about the benefits. He first said that he understood that they had no choice but to serve as soldiers and eat food. Many of them were still drafted. If someone didn't want to serve in the army, they could take the travel expenses to go home. Those who were willing to stay could have generous treatment, such as rich food, never owed military pay, promotion for meritorious service, and learning advanced martial arts, etc.

While Lin Jiang was speaking, the rebels set up ten large pots behind him, cut large pieces of pork and mutton into them and cooked them. When Lin Jiang finished speaking, the fragrance in the pot had filled the entire military camp.

In addition, more than a dozen boxes of gold, silver and jewelry that were temporarily obtained were poured into a pile in front of everyone, forming a small mountain. This immediately broke down the defenses of most people, and they were defeated.
