After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

Chapter 181 Where is my mission?

There was a hint of urgency in the scout's voice.

Upon hearing this, Li Feng exchanged a glance with Li Qingqing, then looked at the scout with a stern expression and asked in a deep voice:

"How many people are there in the enemy army? Who is the commander?"

The scout bowed his head and replied,

"The enemy army is approximately 40,000 strong, with two commanders. One of them is Zhao Di Pu, the most powerful general of the Qi'an Kingdom. He is said to be brave and skilled in battle.

There is also the Northern Territory's chief general, Lian Helan, who is adept at wielding cavalry formations. The two countries' allied forces have already joined forces and are heading towards our border city."

Li Feng frowned when he heard this.

He quickly analyzed the enemy's deployment and possible tactics in his mind, thinking of a countermeasure.

"Forty thousand people... Zhao Di Pu and Lian He Lan..." Li Feng whispered to himself.

Sure enough, the number was exactly the same as previously predicted.

Moreover, this is the first time that these two famous enemy generals have appeared in the border city. It is obvious that the other side is well prepared, and this battle to defend the city will probably not be easy.

This battle is of great significance and there must be no mistakes.

Li Feng pondered secretly in his heart, but there was no fear on his face.

"Pass the order down, the entire army must prepare for battle and must defend the border city!" Li Feng gave the order decisively.

The scout immediately took the order and left.

After Li Feng gave orders to the scouts, he took Li Qingqing with him and summoned all the deputy generals to discuss the war.

This was Li Qingqing's first time participating in a military meeting.

Before, she didn't come to join the war seriously, and Li Feng didn't ask her to.

Later, she was busy with logistics, and the soldiers had already tacitly agreed that she did not need to be present at everything.

Although it was her first time here today, the deputy generals' attention was not on her.

All the deputy generals quickly gathered in the conference hall. They had already learned about the enemy situation and had been making urgent preparations to respond.

Hearing Li Feng's statement again that the enemy situation was certain, the atmosphere became heavy and tense.

After all, in previous battles, big or small, there has never been such a large number of enemy troops attacking the city at the same time.

Li Feng stood in front of the hall, his eyes calm, and continued:

"This time the enemy's numbers far exceed ours. Although our forces are outnumbered, we have the advantage of terrain. As long as we work together, we will be able to defend the border city."

Indeed, if it were any other city, the enemy would have surrounded it from all sides long ago.

The reason why the border city has never been breached is precisely due to its unique geographical advantages.

Upon hearing this, the deputy generals had different expressions, but they all nodded.

Vice General Wang spoke first, his back straight and his eyes determined, "I am willing to continue leading a team to meet the enemy outside the city!"

No matter how many enemies there are, just do it!

Upon hearing this, Deputy General He frowned and immediately retorted, "That's not right. The enemy is strong. If we engage in a head-on confrontation, our chances of winning are slim."

Lieutenant General He is older and more thoughtful, but Lieutenant General Wang is hot-blooded and somewhat ungrateful.

Deputy General Wang glared at him and retorted, "Are we just going to hide in the city and let the enemy set up camp right under our noses?"

If the enemy sets up camp and reclaims some wasteland, should we still fight this war?

Seriously! Wars must be fought quickly and decisively!

Deputy General Wang was a little angry, and he bowed to Li Feng and said:

"I am not afraid of death. I hope the general will allow me to go out of the city to meet the enemy. I will do my utmost to prevent the enemy from setting foot into the city!"

Li Feng heard this and thought to himself,

Lieutenant General Wang was brave and fearless. In previous battles, Lieutenant General Wang always led a team of troops to meet the enemy outside the city, while the rest of the people cooperated inside the city, and most of the time they escaped without any danger.

Deputy General He's concerns are not without reason. The enemy troops are large in number, and a head-on confrontation does not have much chance of winning, and will only result in additional casualties.

However, if we continue to hide in the city and wait for the enemy to reorganize, it will be extremely disadvantageous for the defenders.

After thinking for a moment, Li Feng said in a deep voice:

"Lieutenant General Wang's bravery is commendable, and what Lieutenant General He said is not without reason. We cannot attack rashly, but we cannot sit still and wait for death either.

The enemy has come from a long distance. While they are exhausted, Vice General Wang can lead a team of troops to harass them outside the city, making sure they have no peace. If danger arises, immediately withdraw to the city."

Upon hearing this, Deputy General Wang immediately bowed and said loudly, "I obey your orders!"

After receiving the task, Lieutenant General Wang looked at Lieutenant General He provocatively.

Lieutenant General He was too lazy to pay attention to Lieutenant General Wang. Who hasn’t been young once?

At that time, he should keep a closer eye on the city wall and try not to let Lieutenant General Wang fall into danger!

He watched Li Feng continue to assign tasks. "Deputy General He, lead the crossbowmen to keep a close watch. If you find the enemy crossing the moat, immediately fire rockets to kill them."

Deputy General He then showed a resolute expression and said with a bow, "I obey your orders!"

Li Feng's gaze turned to another deputy general.

"Deputy General Li, ensure that there are sufficient rolling logs and stones on the city walls. If the enemy forces approach the city walls, we must repel them as quickly as possible and not give them even the slightest chance to breathe."

Lieutenant General Li looked solemn and said, "I will personally supervise and ensure that everything goes well!"

Li Feng nodded slightly, looked at Deputy General Zhao, and continued:

"Deputy General Zhao, check the trebuchet and ensure the black fireballs are safe to use. Also, the number of mud balls must be as sufficient as possible."

Deputy General Zhao's eyes were firm, and he said with a stern hand: "I understand!"

Li Feng's eyes swept over the other deputy generals one by one and continued:

"Everyone else, be sure to act according to the plan. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the battle will begin at dawn. No one is allowed to act without authorization. Military orders must be strictly followed. Violators will be punished by military law!"

"Yes!" All the lieutenants answered in unison.

Li Feng assigned tasks and battle plans in detail.

Li Qingqing listened silently at the side, secretly admiring in her heart.

But after listening to the others, she found that she had not been assigned any tasks, so she asked, "General, where is my task?"

Li Feng and his deputy generals all turned their gazes towards her.

Deputy General Chi stood beside Li Qingqing. He patted Li Qingqing on the shoulder and said bluntly:

"Just rest assured and help me prepare the logistics."

He felt that for Li Qingqing, nothing was more suitable for her than logistics work.

Seeing this, the other deputy generals also nodded in agreement.

"That's right, prepare more food. Only when we are full can we have the strength to fight!"

"I don't need you to charge into battle. If you succeed in defending the city, you can give us a taste of the wine you brewed!"

The aroma of wine wafting from the main city every day made them very greedy.

The deputy generals had never seen Li Qing's martial arts, and they only thought that her greatest skill was taming a wild horse.

This may also be related to her horse training skills.

Who among the children of Kyoto doesn’t know how to ride a horse?

Moreover, in their opinion, instead of letting her be a cannon fodder, it would be better to let her focus on logistics.

Deputy General He thought about it and added with a smile:

"Liqing, the people you gathered can also help us cut more wood and prepare more mud balls and other supplies."

Li Feng realized that Li Qingqing was obsessed with the horses and was worried that she would volunteer, so he said, "Assist Vice General Chi with logistics matters, and have Hu Dabao send a team to prepare battle supplies."

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qingqing raised her eyebrows slightly and wanted to say a few words.

But then she thought again, even if she said it, Li Feng would not agree.

So, she nodded gently and said, "I understand!"

After coming out of the conference room, Li Qingqing saw Hu Dabao.

Hu Dabao was waiting for her.

"City Lord, come quickly, come quickly!" Hu Dabao waved stealthily with a mysterious look on his face.
