Chapter 506 Cavalry vs. Infantry
Zhu Feng suddenly stood up from his chair.
Although he was still in a light sleep just now, his eyes were shining brightly, without any confusion from sleep, and he hurried out.
"emperor!"
Just as he was about to walk out the door, Nan Yan caught up with him and draped the wind cloak in her hand over his shoulders.
“…”
Zhu Feng looked down at her.
In the past, when he was fighting, not to mention the cold, he even felt the bones being exposed when the sword cut his body. After a long time, he also felt that he had a body of steel.
But this little girl——
She carefully tied the belt around her chest and straightened her collar to wrap herself more tightly.
Then he whispered, "It's snowing hard outside."
“…”
Zhu Feng coughed lightly, said nothing, and walked out.
Outside, there was indeed a heavy snowstorm.
The gloom that had accumulated for several days was completely released at this moment. The howling north wind blew over the city wall, rolling up snowballs as big as eggs, like punches hitting people in the face.
It hurts like a knife cutting.
Zhu Feng walked to the top of the city wall and looked ahead.
Under the pitch-black sky, a faint glow of fire was rushing towards this side.
They are the cavalry of the State of Dian.
The speed is so fast, like riding the wind.
Zhu Feng asked, "Are all the people from Taining Guard ready?"
Ye Zheng said, "In reply to the emperor, we have already assembled at the city gate and are ready to leave the city at any time."
When he said this, Ran Xiaoyu, Zhu Chengxuan and others also walked out of the watchtower and walked behind Zhu Feng. When they heard this, they were all shocked.
You know, there are certainly cavalry among the garrison in Beiping City, but the Taining Guard is mainly composed of infantry.
He actually wanted to let the infantry fight against the cavalry on the plains?
Doesn't that mean I am the fish on the chopping board?
Ran Xiaoyu turned her head and looked at Nan Yan in surprise, her brows furrowed, as if asking her with her eyes: How could this happen?
Nan Yan shook her head slightly.
Until now, she still hasn't figured out what Zhu Feng meant by "Warfare is the art of deception" and how to turn disadvantage into advantage.
But at this time, she could only trust him.
In the darkness of the night, Zhu Feng's eyes were bright, as if there were two clusters of eternal flames in his pupils, burning in the cold wind. Not only did he not feel the cold, but he also felt an excited heat and trembling because of the upcoming battle.
He said: "Open the city gates and let them go out to meet the enemy!"
"yes!"
Ye Zheng took the order and immediately gave the order below: "Open the city gate!"
Only a heavy and long roar was heard in the cold wind, and the tall city gate was opened little by little. The cold wind immediately rushed in, making many people sway and stagger.
The men of Taining Guard, wearing armor and holding sabers, stood firm.
With an order, they left the city gate.
At this time, Nan Yan could no longer hold back and rushed to the front, leaning against the parapet and looking down. A neat team of infantry walked out of the city gate.
And the wind became even more fierce.
When these troops had assembled under the city wall, the flames in front were already very close. They could even see the cavalry holding torches, galloping towards the city of Peking in the wind and snow.
Their howling like wild beasts could already be heard in the wind.
Nan Yan broke out in a cold sweat.
These cavalrymen, galloping forward like this, with such unstoppable momentum, would overwhelm and trample even the well-trained Taining Guards!
She turned back to look at Zhu Feng nervously——
Why, there are no other arrangements?
