Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

Chapter 424: Attacking Shuntian Prefecture in Tainan (2)

The Marine Brigade of the Eastern Fleet will land and attack Shuntian Prefecture tomorrow with the assistance of the Navy Fleet.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Wei Xiaobao led the huge transport fleet and successfully arrived at the entrance of Tainan Lane.

At this moment, no warships of Zheng’s army could be seen in Tainan Lane. This was the result of the two naval fleets’ operations around the island.

The Zheng army's original 5,000 warships had been completely destroyed. At the same time, all the city's military ports and docks were completely destroyed by the Tiandi Army's naval fleet.

However, Zheng Keshuang was completely unaware of these circumstances. He only knew that Tainan Port had suffered a fierce attack from ironclad ships, causing extremely heavy losses.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the city of Shuntianfu was brightly lit, the streets and alleys were brand new, colorful flags were flying, and lanterns were hanging high, embellishing the lively night sky.

But at this moment, tens of thousands of defeated troops emerged from the north gate. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the coronation ceremony tomorrow, the city gates were closed as early as six in the evening, and a curfew was imposed in the city at nine o'clock.

"Open the city gate!" a soldier shouted loudly.

Yang Yi, the commander of the Nine Gates on the city wall, shouted in a serious tone, "Listen carefully, everyone below. What unit are you from?"

At this time, someone from the army below the city replied: "We are the garrison troops sent to Yunlin by the Shuntianfu camp."

Hearing this answer, Yang Yi frowned and continued to ask: "Since you are the garrison troops heading to Yunlin, why are you here?"

The soldiers under the city said anxiously: "General, the Tiandi Army is chasing us from behind, please open the city gate quickly."

However, Yang Yi said firmly: "Without the young prince's order, no one can open the city gate."

As time passed, more and more Zheng troops gathered outside the city, and in a blink of an eye, the number reached 30,000.

Faced with such a serious situation, Yang Yi was anxious and felt that the situation was becoming increasingly urgent. He had to report the situation to Zheng Keshuang immediately.

He ran to the palace anxiously, but the guards in front of the palace blocked his way.

The guard told him coldly that the young prince was enjoying his night and should not be disturbed. If there was anything important, he was advised to report it tomorrow morning.

Hearing this, Yang Yi could not help but feel angry, but he could do nothing about it. Time was running out, and he could not wait until tomorrow to deal with the matter, so he had to find another way.

So he turned around and looked for Feng Xifan.

Unexpectedly, when Yang Yi found Feng Xifan, he discovered that he was actually playing intimately with several male favorites in the brothel and was immersed in joy.

He quickly asked the madam to call Feng Xifan out, but the madam was terrified and knelt down to beg for mercy, "Sir, please be kind. Sir Feng is in a very good mood now. Anyone who dares to disturb him will be courting death!"

Seeing the horrified look of the madam, Yang Yi secretly groaned in his heart, wondering how he could have met such a person? There was no other way, so Yang Yi had to sit in the brothel with a dark face and wait.

Xiao You led the Tiandi Army and galloped all the way, finally arriving at the north gate of Shuntian Prefecture in Tainan.

It was around ten o'clock in the evening. Xiao You immediately sent a telegram to the military headquarters, informing them that the First Division had successfully arrived at the designated location.

On the other side, it was already two o'clock in the morning and Feng Xifan had just finished his "work" and was holding up his trousers to go home and rest.

However, when he walked into the lobby, he found Yang Yi waiting there anxiously.

As soon as Yang Yi saw Feng Xifan, he couldn't wait to speak: "Lord Fan, the Zheng army stationed in Yunlin has been defeated. A large number of defeated soldiers are now at the gates of the city and are asking to enter the city. Should we let them in?"

Feng Xifan frowned and asked, "How many troops are there in total?"

Yang Yi replied: "More than 30,000 troops arrived two hours ago, and now the number is estimated to be even greater."

Feng Xifan then asked, "Have you seen any troops from the Tiandi Army?"

Yang Yi quickly replied: "At midnight, scouts came to report that the Tiandi Army had set up camp outside the city."

Hearing this, Feng Xifan fell into deep thought. He remembered that he had seen the Tiandi Army at the Incheon Port in Goryeo and had also seen the impressive ironclad ship.

He knew very well that this army was well-equipped with firearms and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. At the same time, he also clearly remembered that the commander of this army was Wei Xiaobao, the love rival of the young prince.

Tomorrow is the young prince's coronation ceremony. The Tiandi Army came to besiege the city at this time, obviously they were well prepared.

It is probably too late to mobilize troops from Shuntianfu camp now, and there are only the Imperial Guards and Liu Zihua's Shenji Camp in the city.

"Immediately order the Shenji Camp and the defeated soldiers under the city to launch a night attack while the Tiandi Army is exhausted from the long march!" Feng Xifan said.

"Lord Feng, this is a good idea, but the tiger talisman of the Shenji Camp is with the young prince, and Liu Zihua is a stubborn person who only recognizes the talisman and not the person. Besides, I see that the defeated soldiers under the city have no idea what happened to them. They have lost their souls. How can they have the courage to fight again?" Yang Yi said.

"I will go to the young prince to get the tiger talisman, and you go back to the city gate to organize the defeated army." Feng Xifan arranged.

"Yes!"

Feng Xifan leaped onto the roof and flew directly towards the palace between the roofs.

After arriving at the palace, he did not knock on the door, but climbed over the wall. At this time, in an inconspicuous servant room in the palace, the leader of the Elite Eagle Guard, who had never appeared, looked at the roof and showed a barely perceptible sneer on his face.

Late at night, when everything was quiet, Feng Xifan hurried to the king's bedroom. At this moment, Zheng Keshuang was sleeping soundly on the bed where Zheng Jing once lay, with two beautiful women lying on his left and right.

"Young Prince, Young Prince... Lord Feng wants to see you regarding urgent military information!" A eunuch walked cautiously to the dragon bed and spoke softly.

Zheng Keshuang was woken up and was very unhappy, but when he heard that it was Feng Xifan looking for him, he suppressed his anger.

"Master, it's so late, is there anything wrong?" Zheng Keshuang asked, rubbing his eyes.

Feng Xifan said solemnly: "The Tiandi Army has besieged the city!"

"Ah!" Zheng Keshuang's sleepiness instantly disappeared, and he sat up in panic, "Master, what should I do now?"

Feng Xifan said calmly: "Give me the tiger talisman, and I will have the Shenji Camp launch a night raid while the Tiandi Army is still unstable."

Zheng Keshuang hesitated for a moment, but finally handed the tiger talisman over, and said with some concern: "Master, you must keep the tiger talisman well!"

"Don't worry, I won't lose it for you."

When Feng Xifan was about to turn around and leave, he saw two white figures on the bed and said to Zheng Keshuang, "Lust is like a sword hanging over your head. You must restrain yourself and don't be like the old prince, who is full of diseases before he is old."

After saying this, Feng Xifan turned and left.

Zheng Keshuang was left thinking to himself: "Master doesn't like women, he only likes male lovers, and he can't stand seeing others have women."
