The country sends a daughter-in-law? Come and take a dozen, take them all

Chapter 665 Entering the City

Lin Xiaofan, Chen Tian and others looked at the wide-open gate of Jincheng and fell into deep thought.

There was a big fire last night. It should be the spies inside who burned down the granary. This was planned.

But what does it mean when the city gates are wide open?

Could it be a fraud?

Until a burly man walked out alone.

"Zhang Cheng."

The sturdy man bowed and threw a human head in front of everyone. It was Zong Wenfu's.

Lin Xiaofan looked at Sun Wufeng beside him with uncertainty, and the latter nodded slightly.

"We have captured the city and gathered 140,000 people. The rest left. I did not stop them. All the people from the Tianlang Nation in the city have been killed."

Zhang Cheng began to explain.

To be honest, his original purpose was just to burn the granary.

As a result, Zong Wenfu fell ill as soon as the granary was lost. The crowd was leaderless, which gave him many opportunities to operate, and he was able to capture the army in one fell swoop.

Lin Xiaofan spent a long time on this sentence.

Isn’t Zhang Cheng’s efficiency a bit too high?

"What should I call you?"

Zhang Cheng asked.

"Lin Xiaofan, come to think of it, I have to call you Senior Brother."

Lin Xiaofan said slowly.

"Oh, I've heard a lot about you!"

Zhang Cheng put on a smiling face.

"We are here to fight the Heavenly Wolf. What are your plans with your 140,000-man army?"

Lin Xiaofan asked.

"What a coincidence, that's what I had in mind."

Zhang Cheng answered.

"General, it's hot here. Let's talk somewhere else."

Seeing that the other party came with sincerity, Chen Tian immediately invited him to the military camp.

"Why don't we go into the city first? It's not a big deal to have so many people waiting."

"Haha, all right, brothers, let's go into the city!"

After entering the city, there were still many things to arrange, such as where to house the 100,000-strong army.

Fortunately, Jincheng is just a recently renovated military fortress with many houses inside.

The soldiers squeezed together and moved in.

For Zhang Cheng's 140,000 troops, food is also a problem.

The granary was almost completely burned. If we lived frugally, we could only last ten days at most.

In recent years, Tianlang State has been at war every day, and the treasury is also somewhat in a state of emergency. Therefore, most of the food in Dayu is transported to Tianlang State. Forcibly requisitioning food will only make it difficult for the local people to survive.

"Daqian has a lot of food, we can lend it to you."

Lin Xiaofan said very generously.

I am not saying this to be taken advantage of, but I have many factors in mind.

First of all, it is a question of stance. Zhang Cheng’s goal is very clear, which is to fight the Tianlang Kingdom to death and avenge his dead relatives and friends.

The 140,000 troops that remained had the same goal.

In the future, when they go to war with the Tianlang Kingdom, this will be a huge help for Bai Na.

Although their strengths vary and they have not been tested on the battlefield, their numbers are there and they can eventually cause trouble for the Tianlang Kingdom.

Secondly, Zhang Cheng helped them a lot this time.

If he had not burned down the granary, and if he had not taken the opportunity to unify Jincheng, Daqian would have had to spend at least a month here.

It is impossible for Zong Wenfu to wait for death in the city, and a war is inevitable.

How many people died is still unknown.

Zhang Cheng helped them a lot, so it’s not too much to lend them some food.

They don't have to worry about additional scheduling issues, because they only need to give the portion saved from the siege to Zhang Cheng.

"Thank you, Brother Lin."

Zhang Cheng thanked him repeatedly. He had also thought about borrowing food, but he didn't know how to ask. Who would have thought that Lin Xiaofan would agree directly.

"Well, we are all family, so stop being polite."

Sun Wufeng pushed open the door and walked in.

Zhang Cheng looked outside and saw that there was no one outside, so he excitedly stepped forward to greet them:

"master."

"You did a good job this time. I thought you would just burn down the granary at most. Who would have thought you could take over the city?"

When Sun Wufeng saw his apprentice again, he smiled and praised him generously. Zhang Cheng did a great job this time.

"It was mainly because Zong Wenfu fainted from anger, and he was the only capable general from the Tianlang Country, so I had the opportunity to take advantage of it. I was lucky."

Zhang Cheng scratched his head.

"As the saying goes, luck is also part of strength, so don't be modest."

Sun Wufeng said. Zong Wenfu was dead, but Zhang Cheng was just an outsider who had been in the army for three years.

It takes skill to plan such a brilliant rebellion in such a short period of time while the commander was unconscious.

"But even though we have won this battle, the biggest threat has not yet been resolved."

After the words were spoken, the scene suddenly became serious.

The Tianlang Kingdom was like a sword hanging over their heads. As long as this sword was there, they would never have a peaceful day.

Sun Wufeng took out the map of Tianlang Kingdom and spread it flat on the table.

"The people of the Tang Dynasty sent news this morning. There are five generals from the Tianlang Kingdom who attacked them. They are Zhang Qi, who is ranked 16th on the Divine Generals List, Bai Ce, who is ranked 35th, Jian Sheng, who is ranked 41st, Shi Zhen, who is ranked 53rd, and Yin Qian, who is ranked 95th."

Lin Xiaofan said.

When Zhang Cheng got the news, his face became more serious.

There are many famous generals in the Tianlang Kingdom. If this kind of general configuration were in an ordinary big country, it could be said that all the generals would come out in full force.

But in the Tianlang Kingdom, it can only be said that except for Zhang Qi, they are all a bunch of small fry, and the real main force has not yet moved.

There are two people in the top ten of the list of generals in the Tang Dynasty, and this does not include Sun Wufeng. Even if the generals of Tianlang Kingdom have the advantage in numbers, they can only capture some cities at most.

"Also, the general of Tianlang Nation guarding the border of Daqi is Bao Tan, who is ranked eighth on the Divine General List."

Lin Xiaofan continued.

The original eighth on the list of great generals was Fan Yong from the northern border of the Tang Dynasty. Later, when the news of Sun Wufeng's retirement came out, he became seventh. Later, he defeated the Xiongnu and was promoted to third.

Currently, the first place is Zheng Feiying of Tianlang Country. He has been firmly in the second place since Sun Wu's popularity faded. In recent years, he has fought with Da Qi and earned a lot of military merits, firmly sitting in the first place.

The second one is Lin Xiaofan. To be honest, Lin Xiaofan himself did not expect to be ranked this high. After all, although he had never lost in all these battles, he had never encountered a strong opponent.

But if you think about it carefully, no matter how fiercely many countries fought in this era, the four strongest countries had no more than 500,000 or 600,000 soldiers and horses.

Most countries can only muster 100,000 soldiers and horses even if they try their best, and many of them may not even have complete weapons and armor.

A battle involving more than 100,000 people was already very rare. A battle with only a few people left on one side was even rarer, and it only happened when a few big countries were fighting fiercely.

Therefore, even the generals of major powers would hardly have the opportunity to fight such a war.

In the past few years, Lin Xiaofan played several games in a row and won every time, and he won beautifully.

This also makes his ranking higher than Fan Yong.
