"Father, are we leaving just like that?" The Northern King asked the Northern Barbarian Emperor while riding on his warhorse.
The Northern Barbarian Emperor looked tired and a little lost. Faced with the strangeness of the horse farm, he could not muster any desire to resist. The pride and confidence he had accumulated before almost collapsed here. This was not only dangerous for himself, but also for the millions of troops under his opponent. Just imagine, an army that has lost its fighting spirit will only suffer destruction.
The Northern Barbarian Emperor sighed. "What else can we do if we don't leave? A hundred and fifty thousand troops marched there, and without so much as a splash, they all perished, without even a single direct battle. This place is unlucky. If we don't leave, we're afraid it will disrupt the morale of the army. Haven't you heard the rumors circulating among the troops? They say that a demon lives in the horse farm and eats people."
"Father, where are we going?" the King of the North continued to ask.
"Where else can we go? Of course, we should pursue the defeated army of King Qi. There we have the military supplies and fodder we need, as well as a large number of women and wealth. Spread the word and tell the warriors that if they want to eat meat and drink wine, they should speed up their pursuit."
The Northern Barbarian Emperor whipped his horse whip, his warhorse neighed, and he quickly left. Before leaving, he looked in the direction of the horse farm, feeling quite unwilling.
The Northern Barbarian army left, but they burned down the city before leaving.
The fire was so big that it burned for three days and three nights. For a time, thick smoke billowed and even drifted to the horse farm.
After the fire was extinguished, people bravely went to take a look. They saw devastation and rubble everywhere. The city had been razed to the ground and turned into an uninhabited area.
The war at the horse farm also caused rumors among the people, describing Lin Feng as a savior. They said all kinds of things, and the stories were very convincing and miraculous. Some people even built temples and erected monuments for Lin Feng.
After hearing this, Lin Feng felt helpless.
After the Northern Barbarians were driven away from the horse farm, countless refugees poured in from all directions, numbering as many as one million. Adding to the less than two million who had arrived previously, the area surrounding Lin Feng's horse farm had already gathered over three million people, a population larger than that of an entire county.
These people all came for the horse farm. Lin Feng did not hesitate and took out a large amount of food from the space tower to help the refugees. Some novel food crops also opened the eyes of the people, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, wheat, sorghum, millet, chickens, ducks, geese, etc., which are not found in this world.
In addition, Lin Feng asked Linglong Tower to expedite the production of a large number of tents and beddings, and sent craftsmen with construction experience to tidy up the gathering place.
Lin Feng also issued an order to expand the defense zone, expanding the horse farm defense zone outward by fifty miles. As the defense zone became larger, there were fewer soldiers, so a vigorous conscription campaign began.
In less than a week, the number of applicants reached 300,000.
All the soldiers who had been there before were promoted, and Ren Gang, as the acting commander-in-chief, was even more confident and high-spirited, as he had never led so many troops before.
While guarding against the attack of the Northern Barbarian Army, he also had to intensify training. Every day was busy and fulfilling. Seeing his strength growing stronger, Lin Feng was very pleased.
…
But King Qi, who was far away on the seashore, was not happy at all. He received the news that the Northern Barbarian army suffered a setback at the horse farm, many people died, and the Northern Barbarian emperor was traumatized. He burned down the city and ran away.
And they were coming straight towards him. The more King Qi thought about it, the angrier he became. Only a few tens of thousands of people in the horse farm beat the Northern Barbarian army and made them cry for their parents. But his army of more than five million was chased to the seaside. This was simply ridiculous.
All of a sudden, King Qi fell ill and never recovered. The commander-in-chief of the army was also seriously ill, and the people under him were in panic.
Li Guo had no choice but to temporarily become the commander-in-chief and start preparing for war, because he received intelligence that the Northern Barbarian army was less than ten days away from here.
We have retreated to the seaside and there is really no place to retreat. The strategy of exchanging space for time does not seem to be working.
If King Qi's army was full of fighting spirit, they could still fight, but the previous series of defeats had made everyone feel fearful. Although the army was large in number, it was very weak.
Li Guo and others were also praying in their hearts, praying that His Majesty Prince Yu's army would arrive quickly. Only then would there be hope of survival.
It seemed that the prayers of Li Guo and others had worked. A powerful black-armored army was marching through Minglan County, with a big "Yu" character on the central army flag.
This army is strictly disciplined, with murderous looks on their faces, and their black armor makes people feel terrified.
The army has about 1.5 million people, which is completely different from King Qi's army. At first glance, this army is a strong army that is good at fighting.
Lin Feng received information that Prince Yu's army had arrived in Minglan County and was not far from the horse farm's defense zone.
The defense zone of the horse farm was on high alert. During this extraordinary period, Lin Feng ordered that no team could enter the defense zone, otherwise they would be forced to fight.
But what was to come finally came. On the second day after Prince Yu’s army arrived in Minglan County, Prince Yu sent someone to invite Lin Feng to join the camp.
"Go back and report to King Yu, I will follow!" Lin Feng agreed. He also wanted to see what kind of person King Yu was. The reason why his family fled was because he started the war.
"Should our tanks and artillery keep up?" Ren Gang looked worried, fearing that Prince Yu would do something bad to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng shook his head and smiled: "Do you think these are the only abilities I have? Don't worry, I don't need you to protect my safety. No one in this world can hurt me."
