Chapter 973 Lin Feng was killed
Hu Jincai was stunned and turned to look over.
Pei Qiyin nodded sincerely at Hu Jincai.
"This is real."
Hu Jincai smiled and said, "Okay, I believe you this time. When Old Hu captures that Qiu Shan and brings him over, we'll talk again."
After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go. Whoever captures the enemy leader will be promoted three levels."
The guards following him cheered, and each of them rode their horses hard and galloped away.
Atsumi Akiyama's already cold face became even colder at this moment.
Faced with the large number of Zhenxi Army cavalry, the 5,000 infantry in front of her, plus less than 1,000 cavalry, were simply unable to fight against them.
If we hesitate any longer, it will lead to a one-sided massacre.
"Everyone, form a square formation and join forces to fight the enemy."
Unfortunately, the weapons used by their pirate corps have always been straight swords, without long weapons such as spears and lances, which makes them even more powerless against cavalry.
It was too late to make other arrangements, so they could only form a formation to fight back.
With the rumbling sound of horse hooves, groups of Zhenxi Army cavalry appeared in the field of vision. The oppressive momentum with the force of wind and thunder impacted the vision and heart of every pirate.
The straight knife, which is usually extremely sharp, appears very weak in the face of such a situation.
Atsumi Akiyama insisted on staying in the center of the army as the second echelon, preparing to let the front-line infantry stop the speed of the Zhenxi Army's attack, and then 800 cavalrymen would attack the enemy's formation and disrupt their charge order.
Her response strategy sounded very good, but unfortunately, the Zhenxi Army's cavalry had been tempered through bloody and fiery battles with the Tartar cavalry.
There was no way the infantry armed with straight swords could resist it.
The war cavalry from all over the wild mountains came roaring and increased their speed to the highest level just before the pirates' phalanx.
Once in contact, it was a devastating blow, without even a moment's delay, which greatly disappointed Atsumi Akiyama.
There was no other way, so she shouted loudly to the 800 cavalrymen, and started to charge faster and collide with the Zhenxi Army.
The battle formation of 3,000 people was broken through in a moment, and the pirate soldiers were trampled under the iron hooves of countless war horses. The situation was horrific.
Atsumi Akiyama was in despair. As she ordered her cavalry to charge, the two thousand infantrymen behind her followed her cavalry and headed towards the cavalry of the Zhenxi Army.
Horse fighting was not the pirates' strong point. After engaging with the Zhenxi Army, the eight hundred cavalrymen were surrounded by thousands of cavalrymen and disappeared in an instant.
Only Atsumi Akiyama was forced to retreat at the last moment by her chief guard and seven or eight other guards.
Two thousand infantrymen made way for the leader to leave the battlefield.
Then he raised his sword and rushed towards the Zhenxi cavalry who were rushing towards him.
Atsumi Akiyama tried his best to stop him, but the tall and strong captain of the guards lifted him directly onto his warhorse, held him tightly in his arms, and urged the horse to flee desperately towards Ganqing Prefecture.
There were eight cavalry guards following him to prevent the pursuing Zhenxi Army cavalry from biting them.
In this battle, Hu Jincai almost wiped out all 6,000 pirates.
At the end of the battle, statistics showed that of the 20,000 pirates who had entered the southern territory of Dazong and the city of Funing Prefecture, it was preliminarily estimated that 17,000 were killed.
The remaining troops fled into the wilderness and their whereabouts are temporarily unknown.
The leader of the pirate family, Atsumi Akiyama, fled back to Ganqing Prefecture.
There were also 20,000 pirate troops from Nantai Prefecture, who killed more than 3,000 Zhennan soldiers of Luo Shidong after the street fighting in Nantai Prefecture City, and then withdrew from Nantai Prefecture City and entered the territory of Danzhou Prefecture.
In the entire southern territory of Dazong, the only prefectures occupied by pirates were Ganqing Prefecture and Danzhou Prefecture, which were located on the coast.
Of course, in order to expel the inbound pirates, the Zhenxi Army and the Zhennan Army also paid the price of nearly 6,000 soldiers, plus the life of a senior general of the Zhenxi Army.
The price was not small, and it made Lin Feng go crazy. He charged into the pirate group alone and almost lost his mind.
The Zhenxi Army led by Hu Jincai stabilized the territory west of Funing Prefecture.
The Zhennan Army led by Luo Shidong stabilized the territory west of Nantai Prefecture.
Because the leader Lin Feng had not returned yet, both armies did not take the next military action. They quietly consolidated their territory and waited for the next order.
Kyoto City.
Inside the palace.
Emperor Taisho, Zhao Zheng, sat in the imperial study, flipping through the memorials on the desk.
At present, he, Lin Feng and the pirates each occupied one-third of the territory.
However, Lin Feng's Zhenxi Army and Zhennan Army were about to drive the pirates out of the southern territory. Lin Feng's territory was expanding too fast.
This made Zhao Zheng very unhappy, and his brows were furrowed into a shape of a "川" (川).
Just at this moment, Prime Minister Miao Changfeng walked in quickly.
He hurried to Zhao Zheng's dragon desk, bowed, and spoke in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, I have received an important message."
Zhao Zheng was in an irritable mood and waved his hands.
"explain."
Miao Changfeng leaned forward again.
If Miao Changfeng was not a close minister, such a distance would have made the guards very uneasy.
"Your Majesty, it is said that Lin Feng has been...killed by the elders of Kunyu Mountain."
He slashed down with his palm, emphasizing his tone.
Zhao Zheng looked at the memorial in his hand, hummed impatiently, and was about to throw it away and replace it with another one when he suddenly stopped.
He stared at Miao Changfeng with wide eyes.
"What did you say?"
"Your Majesty, Lin Feng was killed."
Zhao Zheng stared at Miao Changfeng for a long while, then swallowed.
"Miao Changfeng, do you know what you are talking about?"
Miao Changfeng nodded quickly: "Your Majesty, of course I know. The source of the information is very reliable. I can't help but believe it."
Zhao Zheng fell silent again. Just when Miao Changfeng lost his patience and wanted to explain the source of the information, Zhao Zheng took a deep breath.
"Miao Changfeng, you've been with me for quite a while now. I trust you very much, and you've lived up to my expectations. However, this news is too shocking. Go, confirm it to me immediately. I want real, concrete information. Understand?"
Miao Changfeng was a little embarrassed, but how could he not listen to the emperor's words.
"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely get the specific details to the Emperor."
"Okay, I'll give you a great service. Let's get going."
Miao Changfeng bowed, took a few steps back, turned around and strode out of the imperial study.
Miao Changfeng has a very high status in the underworld. He has disciples and secret contacts among all the heroes and gang leaders.
The major martial arts world has inextricable ties with the hidden sects.
This news came from a hidden sect.
Of course, this was also said by Shu Qin, the elder of Kunyu Mountain.
She stabbed Lin Feng in the stomach in the sea, and watched Lin Feng sink to the bottom of the water. He disappeared for a long time, and it must be over.
So, after she returned to the mainland, in addition to continuing to look for her son, she also announced that Lin Feng, a disciple of Yuquan Temple, had been killed by her.
Taoist Master Lengquan of Yuquan Temple also received an official notice from the secluded sect.
He and his junior sister, Taoist Master Zhen Zhuo, sat blankly in the Tongxin Pavilion, not speaking for a long time. They just stared at the swaying flowers and plants outside the pavilion, lost in thought.
