Lin Fengjin didn't expect that he would be able to get such a big deal as soon as he came!

In fact, why does the Sanli Department still insist on placing rangers outside the city at this juncture? To put it bluntly, it is to support Lin Fengjin and his party, so as not to be completely blocked by the East China Sea Allied Forces cavalry squad.

When Lin Fengjin arrived, he couldn't be rescued in time and couldn't enter the city. That was a troubling thing.

After entering Wuzuo City, Lin Fengjin nodded with satisfaction, because the city was neat and orderly, especially the city walls of Wuzuo City, which had been significantly improved and reinforced, although this also reduced the size of the city.

However, Wuzuo City originally existed as a military fortress. On weekdays, the Sanli tribe members were very adaptable to living in tents. Living outside the city was no big deal and they would not have any complaints.

For the entire Sanli Department, everyone has now reached a consensus. As long as Wu Zuocheng is stuck here like a nail, all the foundations will still be there, and all losses will be just clouds, which can be endured with gritted teeth.

At this time, a group of core senior officials from the Sanli Ministry naturally came to greet them. Zhang Lei and others also came together. After Lin Fengjin exchanged a few words with them, he simply got to the point and talked about the current battle situation.

According to the intelligence analysis obtained at ordinary times, the East China Sea Allied Forces arrived first, which should be ships transporting cavalry with relatively strong field capabilities. At first, they were actually confused by the frightening scene disguised in Wu Zuocheng. They really thought this was a good place.

I am really trying to land directly from the natural deep-water port next to Wu Zuocheng. This is like asking for death.

After the four ships came in, when the time came, the thirty Shenwu cannons placed on the cliffs on both sides of the port opened fire, instantly burning the four ships like torches. But at this time, the four ships were on fire.

Half of the people had already landed ashore. As a result, the cavalry team that had been prepared for a long time charged, and almost all of them were forced into the sea. In the end, they abandoned their helmets and armor and left. However, five ships were left behind.

It was sunk in the middle of the port, and more than a thousand people were taken prisoner.

After suffering such a big loss, the East China Sea Allied Forces knew that Wu Zuocheng was well prepared and did not dare to attack rashly. Their remaining ships made a big turn toward the east, a full sixty meters away from here.

A cape in Duoli reluctantly reached the shore. Then a temporary camp was built there and began to continuously transport his troops ashore.

It was learned from the prisoners' mouths that when the East China Sea Allied Forces transported military horses, they directly added a special secret medicine to the horses' food. This secret medicine could accelerate the burning of the horses' vitality and make their lifespan less than one year. However, this

During the year, the horse's endurance, physical strength and other qualities will be astonishingly improved. And if the camel can endure hunger, so even if the horse is transported across the vast ocean, the survival rate can still be very high.

At this time, everyone also mentioned the previous battle one after another, and everyone was amazed. In the previous battle, it can be said that at least five or six thousand cavalry of the opponent were wiped out, and these cavalry were able to fight in small groups with the Sanli tribe.

The cavalry who grew up on stallions carried out night battles and killed them. They were obviously selected elites. The East China Sea Allied Forces suffered such heavy losses, and the strength of the cavalry was reduced by at least half!

Lin Fengjin did win this battle. However, he was not as excited as the others. He wiped out half of the opponent's main cavalry, which can only be said to have curbed their mobility. In fact,

It is impossible for these cavalry to climb up the city wall to attack the city, and it will not be of much help to the real battle that will follow.

What's more, killing one thousand enemies will result in eight hundred losses. In the past few nights, the cavalry sent out by the Sanli Department to support Lin Fengjin's entry into the city also suffered casualties, at least close to 700 to 800 people. These 700 to 800 people were there.

When attacking a city, they can be used as core elites, whether they serve as archers or carry rolling logs and rocks.

If the enemy wants to kill these seven or eight hundred elites during the siege, then the price paid must be even more tragic!

Lin Fengjin had just arrived, so he didn't waste any time. He first inspected the city defense, and then before the opponent launched a large-scale attack on the city, he made up for the loopholes that could be made up and modified the places that could be modified. After Weiye looked at the city defense,

Then take a good look at the arrangement of the luggage.

At this time, thanks to Wu Zuocheng's preparations for this war, he had several months to do this. Therefore, although Wu Zuocheng's area was limited, it was almost divided into two floors. The first floor was originally

Although the second floor of the building facilities was carefully explored by some craftsmen sent from Nanzheng, they dug six feet deep and then dug out a total of ten underground halls laterally.

Each of these underground halls is close to 100,000 square meters, and can even be called an underground palace. In the underground halls, every one foot and five meters, there will be a stone pillar that can only be embraced by two or three people.

, these are called load-bearing pillars. There are these densely packed pillars supporting the hall. According to the calculations of the craftsmen, even if a major earthquake occurs, it will not have any impact, because the bottom of Wuzuo City is an out-and-out stone bottom, which is very earthquake-resistant.

powerful.

And why was the underground hall able to be excavated so quickly in three or four months? That's because a stone-corrosive agent had already appeared and was brushed on the rock. It wouldn't take long for the rock to loosen automatically.

When it is rotten, if you poke it with a shovel and step on it, there will be a huge pit.

Of course, this kind of stone-corrosive agent will fail when it comes into contact with blood or salt. Therefore, when building a city, pig blood or salt will be added to the mortar on the city wall. Otherwise, if it is sprayed by this thing, the city defense will become useless.

It was too late, and the preparation of this stone-corrosion agent was extremely difficult and very expensive. If Lin Fengjin hadn't relied on selling off his property to support it, he wouldn't have been able to build such a magnificent underground building in just a few months.

Needless to say, these underground halls store important baggage and so on. Looking at these mountains of grain, arrow clusters, separately stored kerosene, and various spare machinery and parts, Lin Fengjin finally said

Finding a sense of security, he nodded with satisfaction.

After inspecting this series of projects, the rooster crowed for the first time, but Lin Fengjin still couldn't sleep, so he turned around and went to the prisoner of war camp.

When the East China Sea Allied Forces just arrived here, they were new to the area. They underestimated the enemy and were blocked in the fjord, losing four six-masted ocean-going ships. Thousands of people who originally wanted to land on the beach were also surrounded by the cavalry of the Sanli Department.

They were driven into the sea alive, and there were still two to three thousand prisoners left.

Lin Fengjin naturally wanted to go to the prisoner-of-war camp to ask for confessions at this time. Of course, when the siege started, it was absolutely impossible for these prisoners to stay in the city. The two countries were fighting against each other and would use all possible means.

No wonder Lin Fengjin was ruthless in his methods. When the time came, he would chop off the hands, feet and thumbs of these people and then just let them go outside the city as if they were herding sheep.

-------Do you care about the East China Sea Allied Forces?

No matter? Hey! These are two or three thousand people, not two or three thousand pigs! Just wait for the morale of the army to drop.

What if you care? After these two or three thousand people have their thumbs chopped off, they will no longer be able to hold swords and guns. They can't even carry baggage. It will take a year and a half to adapt to the new life. The baggage of the East China Sea Allied Forces is already heavy.

Scarcity. If you raise two or three thousand pieces of trash, the food and grass will be consumed to the point where your heart will ache.

In fact, almost all the confessions of these prisoners were forced out. If Lin Fengjin asked again, they would probably be similar. However, Lin Fengjin knew that it was an extraordinary period at this time, and he still had time to spare. So he had to do everything personally.

It's impossible.

Next, someone brought over a war horse that had been captured by the East China Sea Allied Forces, and they planned to figure out the secret medicine for this war horse. This thing is really amazing. A horse can live for almost thirty years, and it can be used to treat it.

The remaining vitality burned up and concentrated in this year. Within this year, this horse was really more durable than a camel and could endure hardships better than a mule.

But when it comes to playing horses, Lin Fengjin is really a layman. Everyone in these three miles is probably much better than him, but naturally there are experts who can teach Lin Fengjin how to play the horse.

The bottom line is that it is Dahan who is an expert in handling animals in the Sanli Department and the boss of the Four Whips.

"Look at this horse. It's just above the waist. It's about half the length of a person, including the whole beard and tail. This is a typical pony. This kind of horse is also produced in the southwest of the Central Plains. It's called the Sichuan-Yunnan horse.

, although this horse cannot run fast or rush, it has several advantages. The first is that it can bear heavy loads, the second is that it can climb mountains, and the third is that it has strong endurance. The Ili horses we feed can do it without eating, drinking or sleeping.

If you run three hundred miles more, this little stallion can drag the cargo four hundred miles in one go."

Lin Fengjin nodded slightly after hearing this, and then heard Dahan say again:

"The medicine these people boasted about was miraculous. In fact, my old man killed a few horses and took a closer look, and found that the mystery was not in the medicine."

After hearing this, Lin Fengjin's eyes lit up and he said:

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

Dahan smiled proudly and said:

"My old man has been dealing with animals all his life, so he can tell if anything is wrong at a glance. Sir, look at the big balls of eye mucus on this horse. The hair looks bright, but in fact it is transparent at the end.

Withered, it will twitch and whine when sleeping, which is obviously a symbol of insects."

"Among the seven or eight horses that my old man killed, the intestines of that horse were all covered with insects the size of rice grains, and they were so densely packed! To be honest, my old man didn't know how many animals he had killed. He knew that the insides of the animals' bellies were

It’s true that insects will grow, but I didn’t know that such evil insects would grow!”

Lin Fengjin nodded and said:

"So speaking of it this way, the so-called secret medicine is based on these insects?"

Dahan said seriously:

"I'm not sure about the specifics, but if there is any difference between these horses and other animals, it's really the bugs in their bellies that are evil. I'm now trying to figure out how to prepare the medicine to see if I can treat one animal

The worms in the belly are shot out. If the pony returns to its original shape after the worms are shot out, it will be inseparable."

Lin Fengjin nodded and said:

"This is best, but you have to be careful not to let these bugs out and harm your livestock. Also, you have to be careful yourself. These bugs seem to be good at harming horses. There is no guarantee that they can harm people.

.”

After figuring out these things, the sky was already getting bright. Lin Fengjin ran hundreds of miles overnight. He was holding on to his body to take care of this series of affairs. Even the iron-clad man seemed to be unable to hold on.

After yawning, he went to his residence to sleep. After this sleep, although he had something on his mind, he was so tired that he couldn't help but fall asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

***

Lin Fengjin fell into a dark sleep. When he woke up again, he found that it was completely dark outside. There were about ten people waiting around him at any time. As soon as he heard a cough, someone would immediately bring him water.

Put the tea in.

Lin Fengjin waved his hand and asked someone to replace the tea with water, took a few sips and said:

"What time is it now?"

The maid said:

"It's already the third watch."

Lin Fengjin's heart trembled:

"I actually slept for so long. Did something happen?"

The maid whispered:

"During the day, I seemed to hear people saying that the main force of the East China Sea Coalition Army had arrived."

The bowl in Lin Fengjin's hand suddenly rippled out. He said in a deep voice:

"Why didn't you call me?"

At this time, a voice came from outside:
