The crises in Fengzhou

and Taizhou in Taizhou appeared almost at the same time. When Lin Jiang received the urgent letter from the military advisor, Taizhou was also in flames. First, there was civil unrest. Many counties and prefectures that had surrendered before rebelled again. Then, troops from other states approached.

"Dai, Jiao, Qiao, and Shizhou attacked Fengzhou, and Tai, Fen, Ping, and Yun attacked Taizhou. What a big move. They think highly of me."

Lin Jiang combined the news from various places and determined the enemy's tactics. The eight states must have a total of 400,000 to 500,000 troops. It was very respectful.

"General, think of a way quickly. Fengzhou is in danger."

"General, Fengzhou is weak and may not be able to withstand the siege of the armies."

Tian Xiong and Qin Yong were both anxious. The families of tens of thousands of troops were still in Fengzhou. Once Fengzhou was lost, they would not be able to hold on in Taizhou and their morale would be gone.

"Don't worry, you two. I believe the general has already come up with a countermeasure."

"General, do you have a way to repel the enemy?"

"Yes, or no."

"Ah, general, don't joke."

"I'm not kidding. I'm not a god. I can't make them repel the enemy with just one word, but I have a pair of hands that can chop all the invading enemies into pieces."

Lin Jiang said coldly. Does he have a way? No, but will he give in? No, we will just kill them.

"Qin Yong, Tian Xiong"

"Yes, general."

"Tian Xiong is stationed in Taizhou City, and Xie Yunfeng is assisting. You may encounter enemies from Fenzhou. Taizhou City is very important. Don't lose it."

"General, don't worry. As long as I'm alive, Taizhou City will not be lost."

"Qin Yong, you lead elite troops to various parts of Taizhou to suppress rebellions. In troubled times, severe punishments should be used. Kill as much as you can. Kill all those who are disobedient."

"Yes, general."

Qin Yong accepted the order. He had already felt Lin Jiang's strong murderous intent.

"General, what about you? Are you going back to Fengzhou?"

"No, I will chop all the enemies to pieces. Fang Rui, are the martial arts masters in Taizhou who surrendered to me still willing to pledge allegiance?"

"General, Fang is willing, but Fang does not know what others mean and cannot represent them."

"Okay, you take them to camp outside the city. Three days later, I will take them away. Xie Yunfeng, prepare horses for me. All the horses that can move except the messengers. Pick another 3,000 elite soldiers. I want the real elites,"

said Lin Jiang. There were too many enemies, and it was useless to block them all the way, so he wanted to launch a fast and mobile surprise attack to smash them all one by one.

Taizhou Tai'an Prefecture is located in the southwest of Taizhou, bordering Yunzhou. At this time, Tai'an Prefecture had been breached, and the defenders of the Zhenguo Army were all killed. The soldiers and horses of Yunzhou burned, killed and looted in Tai'an Prefecture.

The high-ranking officials of Yunzhou turned a blind eye to this situation, because they knew that corruption was rampant in the army, and most of the salaries had already been embezzled. If they did not give these soldiers the opportunity to make money, they would rebel, not to mention that this was Taizhou, not their territory.

"Where has the traitor Wolong gone?"

"Reporting to the general, there is no news yet."

"General, the traitor Wolong was in Taizhou City before, thousands of miles away from us. If we want to fight, we should first attack the Taizhou soldiers who are closest to us."

"That's true,"

the leading general nodded. Their four states divided into three routes to attack Taizhou. Taizhou and Fenzhou joined forces to attack Linjiang Prefecture in the east, Pingzhou attacked from the north, and Yunzhou attacked from the southwest. If the traitor Wolong wanted to fight, he would first attack other states.

"General, the traitor Wolong is not coming for the time being, so should we go north?"

"North, you go?"

The leading general asked back. He was not stupid. The traitor Wolong was so powerful, would he go north to die?

"General, then we..."

"Let's plunder a few nearby prefectures first and see what happens. If the two routes in the north entangle the traitor Wolong, we will cut off his retreat. If they are defeated, it won't be too late for us to retreat to Yunzhou,"

said the leading general. Although he also wanted to kill the traitor Wolong, he didn't want to be the first to stand out. He would wait for an opportunity. Anyway, he would not lose out by making such an arrangement.

Several military generals immediately understood and sent several detachments to capture other prefectures. They hid in Tai'an Prefecture and lived happily. The young ladies in Tai'an Prefecture were very spoiled.

But they didn't know that Lin Jiang would attack them first. Lin Jiang set out from Taizhou City. In addition to more than a hundred masters such as Fang Rui, he also brought three thousand elite soldiers. A small number of them had three horses, and most of them had two horses. They rushed day and night and had already arrived outside Tai'an City.

"Rest for one night. Tomorrow morning, follow me to attack Tai'an City. Fang Rui's men and one thousand elite soldiers will follow me to attack the city. The other two thousand troops will ambush in the south. The enemy will surely be defeated. After the defeat, they will definitely want to escape back to Yunzhou. You must not let them escape."

"Yes, General."

After Lin Jiang gave the order, he let everyone rest. Everyone took out dry food and water and slowly ate it. After eating, most of them fell asleep, leaving only a few scouts.

The next morning, when it was still light, Lin Jiang moved, performed Qinggong, and quietly sneaked into the city. At this time, many residents in the city had woken up, but they did not dare to go out. Most of the Yunzhou soldiers were sleeping soundly. They had fun until the second half of the night, and many people just went to bed.

The whole city was filled with the smell of blood, and it was unknown how many people were killed. When Lin Jiang saw the current state of Tai'an City, his murderous intent was even stronger.

Lin Jiang killed the soldiers stationed at the city gate silently, and then opened the city gate. No one noticed the garrison until a thousand cavalrymen began to gallop from outside the city. The huge noise woke them up.

"Fang Rui, you and I will each lead a team of people and charge along the streets of Tai'an City. Remember, don't fight to the death, and don't give them the opportunity to gather troops. You must maintain high mobility."

"I can tell you very clearly that your choice this time will be the most accurate in your life. After this, you will get the most generous reward."

Lin Jiang said to Fang Rui at the city gate. After that, he galloped away on his horse, and 500 people followed closely behind him.

At this time, the huge movement had awakened the soldiers and generals of Yunzhou. They hurriedly summoned soldiers to assemble, but what they encountered was Lin Jiang's devastating blow.

"Wolong traitor"

"It's Wolong traitor"

"Run!"

The name of Mr. Wolong is known to the world. Seeing Lin Jiang's iconic mask, everyone is terrified.

Lin Jiang didn't care and just charged and killed repeatedly, dispersing all the enemy troops. After repeating this for more than a dozen times, the enemy army collapsed. The enemy general ordered a breakout. He also thought about finding an opportunity to reorganize his troops after leaving the city. With their number, as long as they gathered into a formation, they might not lose.

And Lin Jiang wanted this effect. He quickly opened a gap, and a large number of defeated soldiers rushed out of Tai'an City. Almost 10,000 or 20,000 people went out. Lin Jiang once again blocked the city gate, and then asked Fang Rui to go out of the city to help. I think the ambush outside the gate should have taken action.

The fact was as Lin Jiang expected. The soldiers who rushed out had no time to form a team and were attacked back and forth by the troops reserved by Lin Jiang. The outside of the city was not the inside of the city. There were still buildings such as houses in the city to hide, while the outside of the city was empty.

After a few rounds, the enemy army completely collapsed and began to flee blindly. The two thousand soldiers and horses of the Zhenguo Army tried their best to chase and kill them, but many of them escaped, and thousands of prisoners were left.

Of the 2,000 men outside the city, 500 were left to guard the captives, and the rest entered the city to help. However, the people in the city soon surrendered one after another, because Lin Jiang had almost killed all of their main generals, and the rest also ran away. Lin Jiang had people shouting, which dealt a heavy blow to their confidence.

In the early morning of the next day, the battle of Tai'an City was finally over, and not long after it ended, Lin Jiang made a cruel decision to kill the captives.

"General, I know it may not be appropriate for me to say this now, but I see that there are more than 20,000 or 30,000 captives in this battle. I hope the general will be merciful."

Fang Rui immediately came to persuade Lin Jiang after hearing the news. Killing the captives was a very bad thing. Who would dare to surrender to Lin Jiang in the future?

"Mercy, I'm defeated. Who will be merciful to the tens of millions of people in Fengzhou and Taizhou? How about finding a few people from Tai'an city to ask them how many people they have killed in these days?"

"General, I know all this. It's better to draw one out of ten. Drawing one out of ten is better than killing them all."

"I don't have time to draw one out of ten, and I don't have the troops to guard the prisoners. Let's do it this way. No more words are needed. If God has the cause and effect, I will bear it all."

Lin Jiang flatly refused. He only brought more than 3,000 people. How could he have the troops to guard the prisoners? He could just kill them all and be done with them.
