Chapter 191: Old Luo is not to be praised

~8 min read 1,431 words

Xiexiezi carried his Zhanma Dao and climbed the scaling ladder. This time it was even simpler than the last, and he didn't encounter any decent resistance.

Xiexiezi had just climbed onto the city wall when he heard Li Ming shout loudly: "Surrender, we surrender! Don't kill!"

Luo Feng was still under the city wall, so Xiexiezi didn't know how to deal with it for the time being and could only hold the knife to Li Ming's neck: "Don't move! Wait for our squad leader to come up and deal with you!"

Hearing their own squad leader shout surrender, the remaining garrison didn't have any resistance, and the moment they threw down their weapons, they even felt a sense of relief.

Li Ming had a mournful face, not knowing whether he, as a Team Leader, would be beheaded, but fortunately, the casualties on both sides were very small, so the bandits shouldn't kill everyone.

The old soldier hugged his head and squatted in the corner of the city wall, very worried about his own future. Only at this moment did he realize that the sky had truly changed!

Luo Feng didn't expect the other side to surrender before the city gate was broken. This battle was still too easy for Menghuzhai.

This made Luo Feng's previous thoughts surface again. Why not try attacking Panjiang City?

But the number of garrison troops in Panjiang City was not on the same level as these at all. He still had to report this to Jiang Jinshi to ask, otherwise, he wouldn't have any bottom in his heart.

Arriving on the city wall, Luo Feng saw the Team Leader being held by Xiexiezi with a knife.

"Great Squad Leader, how should this person be dealt with?" Xiexiezi didn't know how Menghuzhai dealt with these prisoners and could only ask Luo Feng for experience.

Luo Feng also followed Jiang Jinshi's previous approach and said to Xiexiezi in detail: "Record it and let them all go. From now on, they will have the same treatment as the commoners in the city, and all weapons and armor will be confiscated!"

"Good!" Xiexiezi led his men to start cleaning up the battlefield. He did things very carefully, which made Luo Feng look at him with admiration.

As expected of a talent focused on by Big Brother, he might have some achievements in the future!

Immediately after, Luo Feng summoned a subordinate and asked him to return to Qing City to report the good news to the Great Chief, while also asking about the doubts in his heart.

The group wasn't dealing with the arrangements in the city after the war for the first time, so there was no chaotic phenomenon, but everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Early the next morning, Jiang Jinshi was still in his dreams when he received the good news from Luo Feng. The person who came to report arrived before dawn, but thinking that their Great Chief should be resting, he waited until dawn to report.

"Great Chief, last night, under the leadership of the Great Squad Leader, we successfully took Baiyan City. No brothers died, only a few were slightly injured!"

"Good! Luo Feng is doing well!" Jiang Jinshi yawned, but he was truly happy!

Now Menghuzhai finally didn't need him to do everything himself. This momentum was very good, and he could also be a bit lazy!

The brother who came to report said hesitantly: "The Great Squad Leader asked me to bring a message to you, Great Chief!"

"What? Just say it!" Jiang Jinshi waved his hand, looking very happy.

"The Great Squad Leader asked, should we attack Panjiang City next?"

"Sigh! This Old Luo is really something, he can't be praised!" Jiang Jinshi smacked his lips.

Hadn't he told him before?

There was no need to report city-robbing matters, he had fully delegated the authority to him to handle. What else was there to ask? Just do it!

"Go back and tell him, be more confident in doing things. The sky won't fall, and even if it does, I'll be there to hold it up for you! Just go ahead and do it!" Jiang Jinshi responded very confidently.

"Yes! Great Chief!"

Having received the reply, the bandit ran away in a flash, anxiously passing the news back.

Jiang Jinshi thought that the Panjiang City Luo Feng mentioned was just a small city. Now that they could take Baiyan City without injury, did they still need to report to him for robbing other small cities?

Luo Feng had the ability to do things, but he was too timid, which wouldn't do.

Jiang Jinshi decided to have a good talk with the other party next time he saw Luo Feng. It was said that those who do great things don't care about small details. As a Great Squad Leader, he should have his own judgment on such small matters!

And Luo Feng was moved to tears when he received Jiang Jinshi's reply. He didn't expect Big Brother to trust him so much, even willing to hand over such a major event as attacking Panjiang City to him to handle.

At the same time, Luo Feng also felt immense pressure. This was most of Menghuzhai's foundation, and he couldn't afford to lose it all!

He had to formulate various tactics before taking action. He only had three thousand people here, even if he called the remaining two thousand, it would be five thousand at most.

But the number of garrison troops in Panjiang City should also be this number. People defending the city already had the advantage. It seemed that the path of a strong attack wouldn't work.

Since that was the case, he could only take it by wit!

Thinking of this, Luo Feng handed over the affairs in Baiyan City to Xiexiezi, while he himself dived into the room, looking at the map and thinking about countermeasures!

As an important transportation hub in Guangwu Jun, Panjiang City was not a small city like Baiyan City. All four city gates were heavily guarded, and the height of the city wall was also higher.

Analyzing from the map, Panjiang City, located at the crossroads, had a wide field of vision, and a surprise attack wouldn't be of much use.

A head-on strong attack was even more impossible. A strong city attack usually required several times the number of garrison troops to have a chance of winning.

He could only take it by wit, so intelligence was very critical. Thinking of this, Luo Feng had to go to Wang Hou to borrow people, after all, this was the other party's specialty.

He had to understand in detail the city's defense system, water sources, granaries, terrain, as well as the personality of the garrison general, the morale of the troops, and even the time for the garrison to change shifts.

Only with this information could he make better decisions to ensure victory at a cost far lower than the other side.

After receiving the news, Wang Hou personally went to Baiyan City and conspired with Luo Feng in the room for a long time before finally deciding.

The squad leaders cooperated with each other, ambitious and determined to take Panjiang City to expand the territory for Menghuzhai.

Jiang Jinshi didn't know about all this. He even returned to Jiangcheng, waiting for the caravan to finish preparing the goods before setting off together.

Three days later, the caravan was ready, and Jiang Jinshi specially picked two hundred people to escort the goods with him.

According to Tang Rui, after they left Guangwu Jun last time, they were harassed by many bandits along the way. If it weren't for the Menghuzhai brothers being brave and fierce, perhaps that batch of goods wouldn't have reached Guansong Ridge at all.

This time, Jiang Jinshi traveled with the caravan, wanting to see the depth of these fellow travelers.

It was just that Jiang Jinshi was depressed that it had been several days, and the system mission still hadn't been completed. Just one last city, and he could get the surprise prize mentioned by the system!

"Are you really okay coming with us?" Li Xinyue was still a bit worried, after all, Menghuzhai was in the stage of expanding its territory.

Jiang Jinshi nodded affirmatively: "What could happen in a small city? I estimate Luo Feng should be organizing and planning Baiyan City, after all, every time after attacking a city, they have to spend some time to rectify it!"

"Then let's go!"

"Xiao Hu! Let's go!" ===== CHAPTER 192 =====
