Chapter 879 The Strange Jinhao City

The city of Jinhaofu is not high. Compared with the tall cities in the north, it is a small castle.

The building is exquisite and beautiful, but it seems too thin and delicate.

There are weeds everywhere, sparse woods, and many rivers, ditches and bays.

It was already three quarters past the hour of You and the sky began to darken.

The 20,000 Zhenxi Army was divided into four teams, each with 5,000 soldiers.

They were led by four Wuwei generals, twenty thousand-man captains, and an engineering battalion of 3,000 men.

Lin Qiaomei also has her own personal guard battalion, with two thousand soldiers. After years of management, these two thousand cavalry are all composed of women.

The weapons and equipment are also the best. Each member of the Royal Guard Battalion is equipped with a pair of crossbows, one large and one small.

The large crossbow is very powerful for long-range attacks, while the small crossbow is very flexible and accurate for close-range attacks, making it difficult for opponents to defend.

In addition, steel knives, steel armor, good horses, etc. are the highest-quality items that Lin Qiaomei pestered Lin Feng for.

Although the other generals were very envious, they could only feel envy and hatred.

Her status cannot be compared with Lin Qiaomei's, not to mention that Lin Qiaomei is not inferior to others in any aspect of fighting.

The team of nearly 30,000 people is very large. There is a lot of water in the south, so it is difficult to find a place to camp.

While the engineering battalion was still surveying the terrain and looking for a camp, the rangers came to report.

"General Lin, in Jinhao City, the drawbridge has fallen to the ground, the city gate is half-closed, and there are no guards to be seen."

Lin Qiaomei was stunned. This was a big city that could be used as a stronghold. Did the pirates give up immediately after breaking through it?

Immediately beside her was Bemi, the commander of the Royal Guard Battalion. He was thirty years old, strong and robust, with a dark complexion.

"General, this must be a trap, trying to lure us into the city."

Lin Qiaomei shook her head. "A trap like this is not easy to dig. If we send a group of soldiers into the city, any trap will be exposed immediately."

"Then why do you think that is?"

"These guys ran away after they had enough loot. We didn't want to spread the troops too thin. After all, the southern territory is too vast, and they don't have enough people."

Everyone around Lin Qiaomei nodded frequently.

"Well, there's no point in talking any more. Let's send a team into the city and observe."

A messenger ran to deliver the message to the vanguard camp.

Immediately, a team of 200 cavalrymen rode their horses onto the suspension bridge of Jinhao City.

Some of them carried cannons for sending signals, and if they encountered an emergency and could not escape, they would immediately fire the cannons.

The sound of the artillery exploding in the air could be heard over ten miles away.

Especially in the dark, the sound of artillery exploding in mid-air will travel farther.

Two hundred cavalrymen pushed the city gate wide open and rode into the city.

The main force stood not far outside the city, quietly waiting for the return of the exploration team.

Two quarters of an hour passed quickly, and there was no movement in the city.

Everyone stared at the two wide-open city gates, which looked like a huge, dark mouth, ready to devour anyone.

Lin Qiaomei's face was cold, she already felt that something was wrong.

But, don’t these reconnaissance riders even have a chance to report the news?

Everyone was thinking that if they encountered an emergency in the city, they could just fire the cannon in an instant.

Why is there no movement at all?

Lin Qiaomei spitted out a mouthful of disgust. "Damn it! I've already run into a problem in my first battle. What should I do?"

A Wuwei general shouted, "General, why don't we lead our troops into the city and force our way through any traps they have set?"

Bemi snorted coldly: "Kill one thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred of your own."

Lin Qiaomei waved her hand: "You're right. It's best not to fight a battle that will cause huge losses."

After saying that, he turned around and gave the order.

"Everyone retreat three miles and set up camp. We will explore again tomorrow."

Seeing that it was getting late, the 200 cavalry entered the city without even making a splash. Everyone was filled with surprise at what was happening inside the city.

Two hundred cavalrymen, that's not twenty people, nor fifty people.

Lin Qiaomei was puzzled.

What kind of ghost was there that made two hundred people speechless at the same time?

All the troops retreated.

Three quarters of an hour had passed, and the city gate was sadly quiet.

Lin Qiaomei stood there for nearly a quarter of an hour, and she had completely given up on those two hundred riders.

It seems that he has fallen into the other party's trap and it is unlikely that he will survive.

Lin Qiaomei gritted her teeth and repeatedly reminded herself to stay calm, suppress her anger, and not go crazy...

Just as she was about to turn her horse around, she suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves from inside the city gate.

Only Lin Qiaomei and her personal guards were left in front of the city gate. At this moment, everyone's hearts were in their throats and they stared at the city gate with wide eyes.

The sound of horse hooves was very crisp in the night.

There was only the sound of a horse.

Not long after, a war horse was seen running out of the city gate with quick steps.

Lin Qiaomei waved her hand, and two of her guards rushed out on horseback.

Two war horses rushed across the bridge, came to the war horse, grabbed the reins and led it across the suspension bridge, and came to Lin Qiaomei.

"General, it's our warhorse."

"Someone, hold up a torch."

Someone came over with a torch. Lin Qiaomei dismounted, walked up to the warhorse, and carefully observed the horse's body.

There was a trace of blood on the saddle, which was very fresh and must have been left when the horse's owner was killed.

The anger in Lin Qiaomei's chest began to spread.

Bemi had followed Lin Qiaomei for a long time and knew her temperament well. He knew the pirates in the city, and this was another seed for them to get angry.

"General, don't fall for their tricks. This city is very strange. We need to investigate thoroughly before making a decision."

As he spoke, Bemi grabbed Lin Qiaomei's arm and squeezed it.

Lin Qiaomei turned her head and smiled at her: "We have been fighting for more than a year, and these little tricks can't excite me."

Bemi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

"Retreat, but guard the camp carefully to prevent pirates from attacking."

Lin Qiaomei was in a heavy mood, she felt that this battle would be difficult to fight.

These pirates are too weird.

I have never encountered such a situation before. Almost everyone would clearly deploy their vehicles and start charging.

Faced with this kind of fighting style, she felt powerless.

This is like facing Lin Feng, there is no place to exert force, how can you fight?

Three thousand engineers quickly found the location of the military camp, drew a circle, and set up the camp fence. The remaining work needed to be completed slowly.

Of course, the military tents of the main generals have been set up.

Lin Qiaomei brought a group of generals to the central military tent and began to study the battle plan.

It is obvious that there are many pirates in Jinhao City.

Moreover, facing the tens of thousands of troops of the Zhenxi Army, he did the opposite and dared to open the city gates wide, accepting everyone.

What do they rely on?

Lin Qiaomei looked at the map and fell into deep thought.

According to his own idea, he would lead his army straight in, and tens of thousands of soldiers would crush the entire city.

No matter how evil they are, they will be reduced to ashes in front of the powerful army.

But, thinking back.

Lin Feng asked him to lead an army independently to wipe out the pirates and recapture the entire southern region.

The loss of this first city alone was so great, how can we fight the rest of the battles?
