Chapter 247 Looking for Food and Grass
Feng Zuwen knew that it was useless to chase them out. After they entered Yunhe City, he could not immediately order his soldiers to attack the city again. There were still 100,000 soldiers from the Ice and Snow Country there.
Today's battle lasted until the afternoon, and they didn't even have lunch at noon.
The final statistics showed that more than 10,000 enemies were killed.
Even the prince killed more than 100 people. He didn't expect his martial arts to be so powerful. He only competed with a few generals on the day he arrived.
That was the first time he knew his ability, and today was the first time he really used it.
Seeing how brave the prince was, the soldiers with him were all excited and swung their swords more fiercely.
More than 5,000 of his own people were injured and more than 500 died.
This number is already very good. This is a siege battle.
With so few casualties, the credit must go to Feng Yuanhan who opened the city gate from the inside in a short time.
Feng Zuwen planned to rest in Yonghe City for a while, so the soldiers should not be overworked.
Liu Chengwu fled in a hurry, so of course he didn't have time to take his baggage away.
The food left behind was enough for them to eat for a month.
Everything was packed up, and it was already dark.
At night, as the commander of an army, Feng Zuwen was of course responsible for writing the battle report.
Yesterday he received a letter from home and knew that everything was fine. I just don't know if the young lady has stayed at home obediently without him as her father.
He doesn't have to worry about his eldest son .
The second daughter-in-law has learned martial arts since she was a child, and I don't know if the lady can control her. The lady
is the backbone of the family, and I don't know if it's tiring to take care of a family.
The eldest daughter-in-law has to take care of the children, so she can't help much.
He thought of his little granddaughter again, and the call of "Grandpa" made his heart as soft as cotton.
At this time, Feng Zuwen picked up the pen, and he missed home.
He didn't know how his in-laws survived guarding the border all year round.
"Dad, I have already written the letter to my family, what about yours?"
Feng Yuanhan's sudden voice startled Feng Zuwen, and a drop of ink fell on the paper.
"Stinky boy, why didn't you report when you entered the commander's tent?" Feng Zuwen put on the airs of a commander.
Feng Yuanhan touched his head, feeling a little embarrassed, he forgot that this was a military camp. He
was excited about the victory today.
"I'm writing."
"Then I won't disturb Dad." Feng Yuanhan put his own letter down and ran away.
He had to go back and read Huizhu's letter to him twice.
On the other side,
in the military monitor's account,
Liu Zehui was also writing a battle report, but there was a servant standing next to him, who was left to him by the second prince when he left. He
was said to take care of his daily life.
"Master Liu, the master has ordered that your battle report today must be written according to my instructions, do you understand?" The servant ordered coldly.
"Yes, yes, yes." Liu Zehui trembled as he picked up the pen.
It was difficult to be both loyal and filial, so he chose filial piety.
The battle report was sent out on the second day.
It arrived at Fengjing County Post Station three days later.
Zheng Jie had already taken control of the entire post station, and the county magistrate was covering for him.
As soon as the battle report arrived, he immediately had someone do something. A battle report that looked exactly the same was quickly sent out, but the time was adjusted and the delivery method was changed from the original 400 miles to 800 miles.
At the same time, Zheng Jie also led his people to evacuate the post station and rushed to the capital.
He is no longer the same person he used to be. Now he only thinks about how to help his nephew ascend the throne, and then avenge the Zheng family and revive the Zheng family.
Zhao Peide received the news and restored the post station to its original state.
But some people were still missing and replaced by new people.
-
Let's talk about Feng Yuanhao. After he was led to investigate the grain and fodder, he followed the route that the army had taken at that time.
He came to the place where the grain and fodder were robbed.
Because it was autumn, it hadn't rained in these days.
The robbers would naturally take away the food they robbed, and the roads where the horse-drawn and ox-drawn carts had passed would more or less leave some traces.
The local government also got the news and came to investigate once, but they could not find any traces after chasing them into the mountains for five miles.
They had no choice but to wait for the people sent from the capital to arrive and investigate together.
But when Feng Yuanhao came and investigated again, he saw faint traces.
And they were heading deep into the mountains.
But the mountain was too big, and the traces seemed to be in more than one direction.
Feng Yuanhao had to divide his people into three groups and search in three directions.
He led more than a hundred people to search slowly in the north, but after a day, they found nothing.
They searched like this for three days without any results.
He ordered to search deeper.
He thought of the group of people who were surrounded and suppressed two years ago, and they were in a valley that no one could enter.
It is very likely that this time is the same.
With this idea in mind, he arranged for everyone to try to visit some valleys, especially those that were rarely visited.
Sure enough, with a clear goal, they really found a trace of human activity two days later.
The first to discover it was Feng Wu.
"Master, the valley I saw seemed to have been active, but because there are only three of us, we dare not get too close. So I came back to report first."
"Okay, you take a rest first, and we will go and have a look together at night."
At night, Feng Yuanhao brought Feng Wu and Feng Liu, two secret guards, to a valley about 80 miles away from the robbed area.
There was actually a light on.
The three of them approached quietly, not daring to make any big moves. If it was really one of the bases of the second prince, these people must be masters.
When they reached the back of the valley, they saw carts of food. They were really robbed by this group of people. This place didn't look like the residence of bandits at all.
After getting confirmation, the three prepared to retreat and planned to bring troops to encircle and suppress the bandits tomorrow.
But at this moment, a whistle sounded, and men in black continued to appear around them, and then lit torches.
The three of them were suddenly surrounded and couldn't escape.
Feng Yuanhao was shocked. He didn't expect these people to hide and even he didn't find them. It can be seen that their kung fu is amazing.
It is much better than the fifty people who encircled and suppressed them before.
Yes, more than two years have passed, and they have improved a lot.
"Prince Feng, we have been waiting for you for a long time." Cang walked out from behind several men in black and said coldly.
"What do you mean?" Feng Yuanhao didn't quite understand.
"What do you mean? It means to kill you." Cang is very confident.
There were 320 of them, but Feng Yuanhao dared to break into their base with only two people.
Tonight, even if he had the ability to reach the sky, he would not be able to survive.
"Really? That depends on whether you have the ability." Feng Yuanhao looked at the people who surrounded them. They were all strong. Whether they were strong or not, they would not know until they tried.
"Feng Wu, Feng Liu, are you afraid?" Feng Yuanhao asked the two secret guards beside him.
Since Feng Yuanhao's leg healed, the two of them were arranged by Feng Zuwen to follow him. After learning the martial arts taught by Feng Tianxing, they have never encountered such a strong enemy.
Today is the biggest test for them.
Feng Yuanhao was also very excited. Such a contrast aroused his fighting spirit even more.
From his sister's voice, he knew that none of the eldest branch of the Feng family had a good ending, and the ultimate source of all this was the second prince.
There is no doubt that these people are the second prince's men. The fact that they can call out his name is proof.
"Master, you can have fun today." Feng Wu was also very excited.
"Okay, kill!" Feng Yuanhao didn't waste any more words on the other party.
The three of them drew their long swords and took the initiative to kill the man in black.
