Chapter 357 Vampire Bats
Chapter 357 Vampire Bats
The Qingshui Army's move made Wanyan Qingtian nervous.
Wendihan and Bilan were urgently summoned, and the three of them gathered in the central military tent to discuss the war.
"What's Naren up to these days?"
Wanyan Qingtian asked with a frown.
Wendihan shook his head helplessly: "What else could it be? He adopted our previous methods and continuously harassed the Qingshui area, just to make life difficult for Lin Feng."
Bilan nodded: "He wants to have a decisive battle with Lin Feng."
Wanyan Qingtian pondered: "Isn't it said that he is not very smart?"
Wendihan smiled and said, "Sir, it's mainly because Nalan is assisting him with all his strength."
"Yeah, Nalan is a smart guy."
Bilan looked at Wanyan Qingtian worriedly: "Sir, this is forcing us to go to war. If we fail, we won't be able to stay in Zhenxi anymore."
Wanyan Qingtian glared at him in dissatisfaction.
"Why not announce our victory and take the opportunity to enter the heart of the west of the town?"
Wendihan and Bilan did not speak, both of them kept their heads down and remained silent.
Wanyan Qingtian snorted coldly.
"Have you lost all confidence in our cavalry?"
Wendihan looked up helplessly: "Sir, we have suffered a lot from Lin Feng. There is no chance of winning if we fight in advance."
Wanyan Qingtian pondered for a moment.
"It's better to fight a decisive battle in advance. With 40,000 troops staying here, they will soon run out of food and grass. It's better to let Na Ren be the sharp edge and clash with Lin Feng."
The two men in silver armor nodded quickly in agreement.
The brother and sister Na Ren and Na Lan have combined the 5,000 elite cavalry of the Kuro tribe and nearly 10,000 troops of Du Hu.
Their strategy was to use the mobility and flexibility of the Tiezhen Cavalry to continuously harass the Qingshui area.
Force Lin Feng to make a decisive battle and attack the camp.
Since they were fighting in the wilderness, Tiezhen's cavalry no longer had the advantage.
Then let the Qingshui Army attack the camp, and we can take our time to defend and counterattack.
Continuously depleting the Qingshui Army's manpower.
Everyone knows that attacking a city or breaking a camp is not an easy job, and the casualties will inevitably be much more serious than those on the defending side.
When Na Ren received news of the large-scale mobilization of the Qingshui Army, he knew that Na Lan's plan had succeeded.
I still admire my sister very much.
If he had followed his own style of fighting, he would have led his elite cavalry and rushed to Lin Feng’s camp to challenge him.
Fighting in that manner would inevitably lead to attacks from the Qingshui Army's heavy armored battalion and chariot battalion. Not only would they suffer heavy losses, but it was also unclear whether they could win.
I'm afraid that if I can't even see Lin Feng's shadow, there will be no point in taking revenge.
The two siblings ordered the cavalry to be recalled, stepped up efforts to strengthen the camp, and mobilized 5,000 soldiers and many defensive tools from the headquarters.
This was also specially authorized by Wanyan Qingtian. The 5,000 soldiers sent were all elite.
Nalan was preparing to fight a protracted defensive battle with the Qingshui Army.
Both the Qingshui Army and the Tiezhen Camp made intensive preparations for nearly ten days.
Na Ren and Na Lan would circle the camp every day to inspect the camp fence and look for defensive loopholes.
This was the first time they switched from a strategic offensive to a complete defense, and they were really unsure.
This was not their area of expertise, but they were forced into no other option by Lin Feng.
Nalan was terrified. Whenever Lin Feng appeared, she would feel inexplicably flustered.
Even when I was sleeping, I would suddenly jump up in shock, always feeling that something was wrong.
After thinking about it carefully for a long time, I still couldn't figure out the problem.
Sometimes I would get up in the middle of the night and run to the camp fence to look for inspiration.
During these ten days, she had lost more than ten pounds due to the torture. Her two big blue eyes stood out from her fair cheeks.
Na Ren didn't care at all. He ate and slept, slept and ate.
There is only one goal in his mind.
That is Lin Feng. As long as Lin Feng appears, let him find the target.
I don't care how the defensive battle turns out.
In such anxiety, the decisive battle finally arrived.
One morning, the gate of Lingdouzi Castle was opened, and teams of cavalry, neatly lined up in two teams, marched out of the castle one after another.
The cavalry formed a square formation in the wilderness, with the heavy armor battalion and chariot battalion behind them.
Further behind is the long-range attack battalion led by Lin Qiaomei.
More than 20,000 soldiers and horses stood silently in the field.
The leaders of each camp were waiting for Lin Feng to appear.
The next moment, a man on a white horse, surrounded by five hundred guards, slowly galloped out of the city gate.
On the city gate tower, officials of the Western Xia delegation were allowed to go up to the city to watch.
Zhang Enyi and others were overwhelmed by the momentum of the Qingshui Legion.
They all held their breath and stared blankly at the neat columns that filled the mountains and fields.
Swords and guns are everywhere, flags are clear, and armor is neatly arranged.
Lin Feng rode on his warhorse and glanced at all the cavalry.
Take a deep breath, raise your right hand and swing it vigorously.
The messenger soldier following beside him immediately raised the two small red flags in his hands and waved them in the air to signal.
More than 20,000 troops started moving and began to rush towards the Tatar camp.
Leading the way was the king's cavalry, who ordered his soldiers to begin singing.
Suddenly, passionate singing came from the front and back.
"Forward, forward, forward, our team marches forward, stepping on the land of our motherland..."
This was also a song borrowed by Lin Feng, and he asked all the soldiers to sing it in the army.
This kind of tune is the most inspiring, making all soldiers excited and march forward bravely.
The entire team of 20,000 people sang with such vigor that the song soared into the clouds.
The sound stops the moving clouds.
Of course, at the end of the team, Lin Feng also arranged hundreds of war drum teams.
This war drum is used to motivate soldiers to charge when attacking.
There is no doubt that the role of war drums can restore the confidence and enthusiasm of soldiers with low morale.
According to the predetermined plan, after the vanguard arrived at the designated location, the troops stopped advancing in formation.
The rear troops arrived one after another and found their positions according to the formation.
This place is less than three hundred steps away from the Tatar camp.
Both parties could see the expressions on the other's faces.
Nalan and Naren stood on the observation tower in the camp, looking at the large group of Qingshui cavalry with grim expressions.
This was truly an unprecedented battle, with a total of more than 40,000 soldiers deployed by both sides.
This was also the battle with the largest number of participants from Tiezhen and Zhenxi Qingshui's army in history.
The five team commanders, Wang Qian, Li Donglai, Lin Qiaomei, Xie Zhong and Li Hu, looked intently at where the commander-in-chief Lin Feng was.
Various commands were transmitted from time to time using flag signals.
Then they pass it on to their own teams.
Lin Qiaomei knew that the catapults in her long-range attack battalion would be the first team to start the attack.
She had already asked the engineers to measure the distance, choose the location, and deploy the twenty catapults in sequence.
After being fixed, the kerosene tanks were pulled under the catapults by horse-drawn carriages, waiting to be loaded and fired.
The tank battalion and the heavy armor battalion were both making their own preparations.
The two battalions have the same model, and one chariot needs seven or eight soldiers to assist.
Heavy knights also need two auxiliary soldiers.
Everything is ready to go.
Lin Feng used his clairvoyance to observe the situation in the Tatar camp.
He saw Nalan and Naren standing on the watchtower.
He took a closer look at Na Ren who was standing next to Na Lan. This Tartar had a thin body, a sharp face, and a pale and bloodless complexion.
He was wearing a bulky black cloak, looking like a vampire bat.
Especially his slender body, paired with his black cloak, which looked light and floating, as if dancing in the wind without any foundation.
According to Wei Bao's intelligence, this person is Nalan's brother Na Ren, who came to avenge his sister.
He brought five thousand elite cavalrymen of the Kuro tribe from Kuro, a thousand miles away.
Obviously, Du Hu's bear-like creature had been shot to pieces by himself. With just this weightless bat, it would be wishful thinking for him to want revenge.
Lin Feng was wondering about Na Ren's intention when Na Ren, who was standing on the observation deck, suddenly turned his head and stared in Lin Feng's direction, as if he had sensed something.
The two blue eyeballs rolled around.
A scarlet tongue stretched out from the pale and bloodless face, licked the lips, and gave Lin Feng, who was looking at him from afar, an evil smile.
This smile made Lin Feng's heart jump inexplicably.
It feels like being stared at by a bat monster.
My whole body feels tense.
