Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 719;

"My lord, Prince Li and his party are estimated to arrive tomorrow. Now there are only Prince Li's sons at Linguandu. Shall we make a surprise attack at night?"

Duke Zhen's men and horses arrived before King Jin's, and the directions of the two were not the same. At this time, they did not find King Jin's men and horses.

"What's going on at Feihu Pass?"

Although he had previously stated that he did not need to pay too much attention to the movement of Feihuguan, but he still hoped that Feihuguan would come, so that he would have more chances of winning, and he could even learn from the previous attack on Feihuguan , to clean up those remnants of Prince Li outside.

"The news says that the founding marquis is still at Feihuguan, and there is no movement. I guess they don't want to come and meddle, and want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."

It was said that Duke Zhen's complexion was a bit ugly, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, he was backed by Feihuguan and the Dongzhou court, so he had such strength to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

But he can't.

After pondering for a long time, Zhen Guo said openly; "In that case, let's launch a surprise attack at midnight today. It would be best if we can destroy Prince Li's son. If we can't, we should consume their strength as much as possible."

"Arrange scouts to figure out where they hide their grain and grass, and then prepare five hundred archers with rockets to burn their grain and grass if necessary."

Although Linguandu is not a big city, it is still a city after all. If they are about to launch a strong attack, it will still cause some obstacles to them.

And he didn't want to fight desperately to the end, his purpose was to consume, and it would be a good thing to reduce Prince Li's strength a bit, and it would be beneficial to him in the future.

"Yes, this subordinate will do it."

"My lord, our people discovered that there is another group of people more than 50 miles away from us."

In the darkness, King Jin suddenly opened his eyes when he heard Yan San's voice.

"A person from Duke Zhen?"

"should be."

Hearing this, the King of Jin grinned and said, "It seems that Lord Zhen is also very clear about not allowing Prince Li to bring his troops into the Northland."

"Very well, since that's the case, we can have less pressure."

Originally, he was still thinking about asking his own people to take the lead, but now that Duke Zhen's people have arrived, there is no need to worry.

After all, he has the confidence not to worry.

"Tell the brothers to hide carefully, don't let people find out the clues, and you arrange a few scouts to approach Linguandu to pay close attention to the movement there."

"If my predictions are correct, Lord Zhen will probably do it soon."

Yan San retreated in response.

In the city of Linguandu, Prince Li's son was full of smiles, sitting in the gate of the city's yamen, enjoying singing and dancing.

These dancers were originally from the mansions of the officials in Linguandu city. He brought people into Linguandu and slaughtered all the officials there.

"Your Highness, when the old prince arrives tomorrow, our strength will increase greatly, and that fellow Zhen Guogong will undoubtedly die."

The son of Prince Li, who was sitting in the upper seat, nodded with a smile, thinking of Duke Zhen, his face was full of murderous intent at this moment.

"When you catch this old dog, don't be in a hurry to kill him. Your Highness will make his life worse than death."

He was also present at the previous battle of Feihuguan. Facing the attack of the founding marquis, when he was unable to resist and wanted to escape, he almost died in the hands of the Duke of Zhen.

So the hatred between the two sides escalated again.

There are still singing and dancing here, and suddenly there is a rush of drums outside.

Prince Li's son suddenly stood up and asked, "What's going on?"

"Report, His Highness is not well, someone raided."

"what!"

Prince Li's son turned pale with shock, but soon came to his senses, and said with a smirk, "Okay, my Highness is worried that I won't be able to find this old dog, yet he dared to come over to sneak attack."

"Brothers, fight the enemy with His Highness."

"it is good."

Soon Prince Li led a group of people towards the gate of the city.

"Stop it quickly, they must not be allowed to enter the city."

Linguandu was just a small city with some fortifications but not strong. Facing the attack of Lord Zhen's army, the city gate was already crumbling.

Duke Zhen's purpose was also very clear, he had pinpointed the weakness of the city gate, and wanted to rush into the city in one go and catch the opponent by surprise.

After all, it was the middle of the night, and even if people were alert, their reactions would inevitably be a little slow. As long as the speed of the charge was fast enough, the maximum benefit could be obtained when the opponent's defense was not fully established.

At this time, Prince Li saw the crumbling city gate from a distance, and was a little panicked.

"Hurry up and help, the city gate must not be broken, and hurry up and all the soldiers and horses in the city come to support."

"My lord, you are really good at predicting things, and there is a fight over there."

King Jin had already heard the sound of war drums in the distance, not only him, but also all the soldiers.

"Brothers, work hard, let's go and see what's going on."

Everyone immediately got up and got ready, and soon followed the Jin Dynasty to Linguandu in the distance.

When they arrived, the gate of Linguandu had been broken, and a large number of soldiers were fighting inside and outside the city.

After all, it was just a small city, and the city gate was really fragile.

"My lord, do we want to kill them and catch them all?"

Hearing this, King Jin pondered for a moment and shook his head, "No."

"According to our investigation, Lord Zhen Guo has at least 7 to [-] horses in his hands. Apart from the past losses, there are still some left behind. He has at least [-] to [-] in his hands."

"As for the son of Prince Li, he inherited the 13 soldiers and horses in the Northland Camp. Although he lost a lot and escaped a lot during this period, it is conservatively estimated that he still has at least 6 or [-] soldiers and horses."

"Let them fight first, let's see the situation first."

There are only 3 people around him now, and he is still a tired teacher who has been traveling overnight for three days. If he rushes up at this time, he may not kill the other party in one go, but he will have to send many people off.

"The big guys just rest where they are and watch the show, take the time to rest for a while, if it is really necessary, they also need to rush."

Everyone sat down to rest in place, and some people looked at the burning city in the distance while eating dry food.

"Master, the target has been found."

Behind the chaotic army, the middle-aged general found Duke Zhen.

"Order, be sure to take down the granary."

Not long after, the depths of the city burst into flames.

"Your Highness, it's bad, our granary is on fire."

Prince Li's son, who was fighting on the top of the city, heard this, his face turned pale.

"Damn bastard, let me kill you, kill all these beasts."

He was shouting to the soldiers present to fight, and at the same time he wanted to confess to his personal guards.

"Hurry up and take a group of people to put out the fire. Be sure to keep the granary for me."

The granary is all the grain he has now, and it can support his army for two or three months. If it disappears like this, he will have a sad life in the future.

And just when his men and horses were divided into two groups, Lord Zhen Guo also ordered them to retreat while fighting, just delaying time.
