Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 1219 Advantages in Urban Warfare

Lin Feng gently pulled open the back cover of the long-handled grenade, pulled out the fuse, and held it up so everyone could see it clearly.

Pull it outwards with force.

Suddenly, a wisp of blue smoke rose from the back of the long wooden handle.

Lin Feng loudly counted to three, then forcefully threw the grenade.

The long-handled grenade tumbled in the air and landed precisely in the circle fifteen feet away.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a loud bang suddenly came from afar.

The grenade exploded in a burst of fire, shaking the air and causing the eardrums of those fifteen feet away to throb.

Even the ground beneath our feet trembled violently.

Everyone stared blankly into the distance, and the same two words popped into their minds: artillery?

Lin Feng clapped his hands: "See that? This is its true power. What are your thoughts?"

Everyone was still in shock, and for a moment the scene was silent; no one spoke.

Luo Shidong was stunned.

I knew the prince wouldn't do anything in vain; so this is the answer.

Lin Feng continued to remind him: "When you pull the rope, count to three, then throw it to the target location, and you can blow the hidden pirates to shreds."

After careful explanation and repeated emphasis on the dangers of hand grenades, as well as precautions for carrying them.

"Alright, everyone go back and select soldiers for the city's street fighting. Each person can carry four grenades. Make sure you understand everything I said."

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he waved his hand.

"Those who understand can go back now; those who don't understand, stay."

Most of the generals left the scene with some grenades, leaving behind seven or eight who didn't understand what was happening.

These were officers who hadn't taken it seriously at first, but now they realize how powerful this grenade is, and they need to listen to the explanation again from the beginning.

After everyone had left, Luo Shidong approached Lin Feng.

"Your Highness, can this weapon be effective in urban warfare?"

Lin Feng patiently explained, "General Luo, look."

He squatted down and drew on the ground with a twig.

"What are the pirates' biggest advantages in urban warfare?"

"Of course, it's to make it impossible for us to find him."

"Right, since it's hard to find, let's just not look. We can just throw a grenade into the place where pirates are suspected to be hiding. What do you think the result will be?"

Luo Shidong wasn't stupid; he had already thought of this earlier, but now he wanted to go to Lin Feng to further confirm it.

"Your Highness, could the blast radius injure our own people?"

Lin Feng laughed and said, "I've also considered that. Don't be fooled by how frightening the explosion is; it loses its lethality if you're a little further away."

Lin Feng drew a square on the ground.

“Especially if an explosion occurs inside a house or in a yard, people outside will not be affected, but the pirates inside the house will be seriously injured, even if they don’t die.”

Luo Shidong nodded repeatedly, sighing in admiration.

"Your Highness, you are truly a man of great talent. How could you possibly have conceived of such a wondrous weapon..."

Having lived most of his life, he was awestruck by Lin Feng's extraordinary talents when he first met him.

Little did he know, that was just the beginning. The sight of Lin Feng squatting on the ground before him once again made his mind go blank.

This person must be a deity who descended to earth.

Early the next morning, the Zhennan Army dispatched nearly 20,000 men, divided into four groups, to the four gates of Nantai City, awaiting orders to attack.

According to Lin Feng's battle plan, the four teams were further divided into three groups. One group entered the alleys in the city, another group patrolled along the streets, and the third group was assigned positions as archers to launch long-range attacks on the pirates.

Cheng Liang's cavalry was also divided into two parts. One part, consisting of two thousand cavalry, guarded the west gate of the city to prevent the pirates from fleeing the city and heading towards Jinghai Prefecture.

Another group of three thousand cavalrymen lay in ambush outside the east gate of the city, waiting for the pirates to be driven out of the city by the Zhennan Army.

Once the pirates entered the wilderness, they became lambs to the slaughter when faced with the Zhenxi Army's cavalry.

With everything prepared, the entire team entered combat readiness at Lin Feng's command.

Lin Feng was also apprehensive. He was worried about how the team would perform in battle without any systematic training.

However, he believed in the quality of these soldiers; having survived so many battles, those who were still alive should not be dull-witted.

Within the city of Nantai Prefecture, the leader of the pirates is General Onijuu Nofu.

His battle strategy was to use street fighting to gradually erode the strength of the Zhennan Army, and finally defeat them in one fell swoop.

The two sides have been locked in a tug-of-war for several days in Nantai Prefecture, with very good results.

At this moment, Oni-Juan-Ye-Fuji was hiding on one side of the city wall, spying on the Zhennan army below the city.

I don't know how many times this has happened, but these bigwigs still recklessly barge into the city. I don't know what's wrong with their brains.

Of course, he really hoped that a large number of people would rush into the city.

Oni-Juan-Ye-Fu has hidden all 15,000 people in various buildings within the city. Once a large number of soldiers enter, not many will be able to leave alive.

Oni-maki Nofuji was very confident in his ability to conceal himself.

This is a family secret technique; even teaching just a tiny bit to one's subordinates can cause a major group to suffer a great loss.

Its absolute strengths can also be seen from its past performance.

Often, a single hidden soldier can inflict significant damage on the enemy. With casualty ratios of one to three or one to four, Oni-Juan-Ye-Fuji believed that if he could engage in such battles once or twice more, he would surely secure victory in this war.

Seeing that a large number of soldiers were preparing to attack the city, Oni-maki no Fuji was hiding in the shadows, secretly pleased.

Come on, the more the better.

Seeing that a large number of soldiers were starting to move, they entered the city gate in droves.

The streets of the city were deserted; there wasn't a soul in sight.

The army entered the city without any obstruction and smoothly arrived at the entrances of alleys within the city.

Squads of soldiers began to separate at the alley entrance, each carrying out their combat missions according to plan.

Oni-maki no Fuji followed suit, shifting his gaze from outside the city to inside.

He quietly hid on one side of the city wall, waiting for that familiar scream to ring out.

The Zhennan Army squad entered the alley in groups of three: two were responsible for patrolling the surrounding area for any unusual activity, and one was responsible for throwing grenades as instructed.

Seven groups formed a team and entered from an alleyway to wipe out the pirates inside the building.

Within the quiet city of Nantai Prefecture, less than a quarter of an hour after the Zhennan Army entered, a loud bang suddenly erupted.

Oni-maki no Fuji was taken aback and looked in the direction of the loud noise with a puzzled expression.

what is this?

Before he could recover from his daze, several more loud bangs erupted in succession.

The next moment, a series of booming sounds erupted from all directions within the city.

Indeed, screams could be heard, but the sounds were different from before; they didn't seem like the sounds of a large group of soldiers.

Oni-maki Nofuji stared blankly at the commotion that had erupted throughout the city, at a loss for what to do.

The small squads of Zhennan Army entered the alleyway and advanced in turn. Those who spotted the pirates cooperated with them in combat, and bombarded areas suspected of harboring pirates.

In short, they stopped being reckless and, after running out of grenades, began a slow withdrawal from the street fighting.

1,500 grenades may not seem like much, but they had a tremendous deterrent effect. Many pirates hiding inside buildings were blown to pieces, writhing and screaming in agony.
