When Lu Xiangsheng fainted, he was on the other side of the river bank.

The twenty or so cavalry led by Zhang Yan, the counselor of the Xuanfu, were also surrounded by dozens of times the Qing army, and they were about to be unable to hold on.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a rapid sound of firecrackers, and the besieging Qing troops fell down in large numbers. The remaining people quickly turned their horses to fight.

Lin Feng led the Guards Brigade to Haoshui Bridge at the most critical moment. Two cavalry brigades resisted the Qing soldiers on both sides, opening a gap.

The addition of the Zhenming Army, a new force and the most elite guard brigade, quickly wiped out the more than two hundred Qing troops besieging the bridge.

Zhang Yan and others were in a desperate situation. When they saw reinforcements arriving, they immediately summoned up their last strength and tried their best to cut down several Qing troops around them.

"Where is Governor Lu?" Lin Feng asked Zhang Yan.

"Master Lu just crossed the river to kill the enemy. We were scattered by the Tatars. We don't know where we are now." Zhang Yan replied.

"You take my people to find Governor Lu. The remaining people immediately gather the brothers who are still alive and retreat with us in a quarter of an hour." Lin Feng ordered. There are 20,000 Manchu troops and horses outside. We must take advantage of them before they react. Escape from the encirclement before.

"May I ask, General, where are the reinforcements from?" Zhang Yan asked quickly, unable to see the flag.

"We are the Zhenming Army led by Governor Lin. Let's hurry up and find someone first." Fang Xiaoyu said.

"I saw Master Lu's mount." Lu Xiangsheng's family general Gu Xian saw Wu Mingji at this time and blew a slogan, and Wu Mingji brought the unconscious Lu Xiangsheng over.

"Master Governor!" several people called.

Lin Feng stepped forward to test. Lu Xiangsheng's breathing was steady. When he saw that he was covered in blood, he knew that he might have been unconscious due to excessive blood loss. Immediately called the health soldiers accompanying the army to come forward to bandage and stop the bleeding.

Zhang Yan and others looked at the health soldiers of the Zhenming Army curiously. They quickly took out the first aid bag and took out a bunch of things they didn't know about. The two of them methodically dealt with it in less than two or three minutes. Lu Xiangsheng’s trauma.

"Withdraw!" Lin Feng ordered.

The Guards Brigade began to retreat with the thirty or so Tianxiong Army cavalry that had just gathered in.

After running for more than ten miles to the north, the Qing army on the west side caught up with them. The officers and soldiers of the Guards Brigade raised their Type II electric muskets and fired a volley to drive back the Qing army.

Lin Feng then ordered Bailitong to call a brigade of cavalry to come over and outflank them. With perfect cooperation, he killed five to six hundred Tatar pursuers in one go.

Such sophisticated equipment and combat qualities stunned Xuanfu counselor Zhang Yan and others.

After running for about twenty miles, they returned to the vicinity of Nangong County where Lu Xiangsheng and the others started. Lin Feng decided to temporarily rest in the county town.

He said to Zhang Yan: "General Zhang, go call the door and ask Magistrate Nangong to open the door immediately."

While retreating on the road, several people had already announced their names and positions.

"Sir Lin, the Nangong County Magistrate will not listen to us. Governor Lu has issued orders many times, but they have refused to provide food and grass." Zhang Yan was confused.

"You can go call the door, I, the Zhenming Army, will be responsible for everything that follows." Lin Feng said.

Zhang Yan had no choice but to go to the city gate and call for help. As expected, the county magistrate surnamed Zhang scolded him back.

"Adjust artillery and attack the city!" Lin Feng ordered.

"Ah, siege the city?" Zhang Yan felt frightened.

"The anti-Tatar army who refuses to supply the imperial court is siding with the enemy. Is there any problem in attacking him?" Lin Feng explained to them.

This time the Guards Brigade brought ten steerable carriages, each equipped with an artillery piece that could be loaded and unloaded quickly. In less than ten minutes, the artillery was assembled and the gunner organized the calibration.

Fang Xiaoyu waved his hand, and ten artillery pieces and a row of Type II electric guns opened fire, causing a mess at the head of Nangong City. Magistrate Zhang was stunned at first, and Minzhuang, who was defending the city, fled in all directions crying.

"Open the city gate immediately, otherwise all the city defenders will be executed after entering the city!" Panda shouted.

Soon, the gate of Nangong County opened.

"Enter the city!" Lin Feng ordered.

The Guards Brigade first sent a group of people to control the city gate and the county government office, and others entered the city one after another. The two cavalry brigades that arrived later were left outside the city to cooperate with the enemy.

County government lobby.

The county magistrate surnamed Zhang, who had already run back, forced himself to calm down and asked: "Where did you come from? You are so audacious that you dare to openly attack Nangong County. This is an act of rebellion. I must report it to Director Gao and punish you." "

"If you have something to say, please forgive me." Zhang Yan was so frightened that he quickly begged for mercy.

Lin Feng stepped forward and gave Magistrate Zhang a slap in the face, causing him to stagger around.

"You, you openly beat the imperial official, you are dead!" Magistrate Zhang covered his beaten face with one hand and pointed at Lin Feng with his index finger and said angrily.

Fang Xiaoyu stepped forward, grabbed his outstretched finger and snapped it.

"Ah..." Magistrate Zhang let out a miserable scream.

"Gua Nao, drag him out and chop him down." Lin Feng ordered.

"Kill civil servants?" Magistrate Zhang thought he heard wrongly and was stunned for a moment.

It wasn't until two guards dragged him to behead him that he finally came to his senses. He immediately knelt down and hugged the legs of the guards, crying for mercy. "Sir, if you kill the civil servants, you will stir up a hornet's nest in the court. It's better to be cautious and just scare them." Zhang Yan advised.

"Our strength lies in the guns and swords in our hands. Those civil servants who are not in the court who only know how to talk. Take action!" Lin Feng then ordered. If you don't kill the county magistrate who is still causing trouble in this kind of national crisis, we will kill him. Keep it for the New Year.

Two personal guards took Magistrate Zhang down, one held him down, and the other pulled out his sword and chopped off his head cleanly.

When Magistrate Zhang's head fell to the ground, his eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

Zhang Yan and others were also dumbfounded, but they were also excited in their hearts. This is the fucking position that a general who fights for the country should have.

"Sir, there are over a thousand stones of grain in the county government treasury, and more than two thousand taels of silver." Panda, deputy general of the Guards Brigade, came over to report that these coins were allocated by Magistrate Zhang to prepare for the defense of the city.

"Confiscate it and return it to the public. Make a fire to cook and let the officers and soldiers have a good meal. Then ask the county doctor to show it to Mr. Lu." Lin Feng said.

"This damn Magistrate Zhang, Governor Lu repeatedly begged him for supplies, but he always said that he didn't have a single stone of food, yet there was so much in the warehouse." Zhang Yan became angry after hearing this.

"Most of the civil servants in the Ming Dynasty bully the weak and fear the strong. The more polite you are, the less serious they will take you." Lin Feng said.

Soon, the food was ready, and the soldiers brought a large pot of rice and a bucket of vegetables.

"Eat!" Lin Feng said, taking the lead and taking a bowl and starting to cook.

Lu Xiangsheng usually ate with the officers and soldiers. Zhang Yan and the others were not shocked. They were excited because the food was enough. The Tianxiong Army had not had a full meal for a long time.

Several people each ate three large bowls of rice. When their stomachs couldn't hold it any longer, they reluctantly put down their rice bowls.

"Sir, Master Lu is awake." A guard came in and reported.

"Let's go see Mr. Lu." Lin Feng said, and a group of people went to the county government office.

On the bed, Lu Xiangsheng had already sat up. He had led troops in wars all year round and was in good health. He was unconscious due to excessive blood loss. Just now, the county doctor came over and fed him some ginseng soup to replenish his energy and then he woke up.

"Master Supervisor, it was Master Lin Fenglin who led the Zhenming Army to save us." Zhang Yan immediately explained.

"Governor Lin, I didn't expect you to come in person. I'm so ashamed of myself for being defeated." Lu Xiangsheng said.

"I have admired Master Lu's reputation for a long time. Master Lu knew he could not do anything in Jiazhuang but chose to be loyal to the country and fight to the death. Lin Feng admires him very much!" Lin Feng also said sincerely.

"A defeated general only has the determination to die." Lu Xiangsheng said modestly.

"Lord Lu is in the prime of his life. It's time to bring benefits to the people. Why should he risk his death so easily?"

"The situation in the court is like this, I just have nothing to do."

"Inspector Lu is just blinded by some concepts. Do you know where this is?" Lin Feng asked?

"where?"

"Returning to the Governor, this is the county government office of Nangong County." Zhang Yan replied.

"Is Magistrate Zhang finally willing to let us in?" Lu Xiangsheng asked.

"This, this..." Zhang Yan hesitated.

"General Zhang Shen doesn't need to be in trouble. I have already killed County Magistrate Zhang?" Lin Feng interjected.

"Chopped?"

"It was chopped with a knife. If such a person does not provide supplies to his own people, he is collaborating with the enemy. Why is it strange to chop him down? Mr. Lu brought one of the three powerful armies of the Ming Dynasty in vain, but he can even force you to come to a small magistrate. A dead end. Didn’t Governor Lu think about why?" Lin Feng then asked.

"But killing an official without an order is rebellion." Lu Xiangsheng said.

"It's ridiculous! In Master Lu's eyes, you only have a false reputation, a false reputation of foolish loyalty. For this false reputation, you can let five or six thousand soldiers who are about to fight a national war starve with you, and you can starve the Ming Dynasty's few capable soldiers. Burial can allow the Tatars to wreak havoc in the Central Plains! In your eyes, are these not as good as that false reputation?" Lin Feng asked.

"The ministers and powerful officials are constrained, what can we do?"

"You can't dive as high as a eunuch. If you chop him with a knife, you can't do anything."

"Killing the eunuchs of the supervisory army, isn't this rebellion?"

"As long as it is beneficial to the country and the people, what about rebellion? Besides, whether it is a rebellion depends on what we think. I don't want that position, just to repel the Tatars, what kind of rebellion is it?

I heard that the governor had avenged his death wish, so just treat yourself as dead. Wouldn't it be more valuable to organize the troops to defeat the Tatars, restore peace to the people, and then go to the capital to receive death? " Lin Feng said.

"You will live after death, you will be famous after life, and you will die when you are determined to do it. Mr. Lin really awakened the dreamer with one word!" Lu Xiangsheng suddenly realized.

"Haha, that's what the Governor thinks. I won't go to die. For the sake of the people of the world, I still need to master more military power." Lin Feng replied.

"For the sake of the people, is my idea really wrong?" Lu Xiangsheng said to himself.

"Master Superintendent, please rest in peace and recuperate for now. I will go to my subordinates to fight against the Tatar pursuers." Lin Feng said.

"My injuries are all superficial injuries. It's no longer a problem. Let me go with you." Lu Xiangsheng was impatient and demanded immediately.

"Okay, let's go together then."
