It took the generals a long time to come back to their senses. They asked the scouts,"How did Lin Feng defeat Old Hui?”
The scout said loudly,"During the battle, there were many rebel soldiers and horses. We were forced to stay outside and couldn't see the battlefield.". After the battle ended, we rushed in. I heard from Tianjin's soldiers that they used cannons and muskets to defeat the bandits!”
Forget about muskets, the Ming army had them everywhere, and the officers and soldiers were afraid of using them. Upon hearing Cannon, all the generals were stunned."Cannon?"
"He did report that he had 40 light cannons!" Lu Xiangsheng stroked his beard and said. I thought I could hold on for two hours, but I didn't expect him to kill the old Hui Hui with this cannon!”
Hearing that there was a cannon, the generals stood there resentfully. They still could not accept it.
It was the Shanhaiguan deputy general, Li Zhenzhen, who stood up and spoke. After defeating the old Hui Hui, he did not have to do the hard work of restraining or even covering the rear. He was sincerely grateful and praised loudly,"Tianjin's army is mighty! Even the Qi Family's Army back then was nothing more than this!”
When the generals heard this, their faces turned red. They were in no position to praise him. These days, they had mocked and despised him. They did not expect that this young general would make such a great contribution.
Only then did everyone remember Lin Feng's words,"It's not embarrassing for Tianjin to send me to help!"”Now, it seemed that not only was it not embarrassing, but it had also made Tianjin proud!
The generals stood resentfully on the small mound, unable to speak.
Prime Minister Lu Xiangsheng was the first to recover. He stroked his beard and sighed."The younger generation is formidable! The younger generation is formidable! He didn't expect a mere guard to be able to kill Ma Shouying. No matter what, this battle could not be considered a loss! This is not only good news for Lin Feng, but also good news for everyone!”
After killing so many, the generals had won this battle and reported it as a great merit. Hearing this, the generals finally understood. Gritting their teeth, they turned around and flattered Lu Xiangsheng.
"It's all thanks to the Prime Minister's strategic planning that we have such a victory!”
"Prime Minister, you have a sharp eye. We admire you!”
Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said with a smile,"Now that Ma Shouying has been defeated, there's no need to guard against the east. Tianjin's troops were strong and were about to come to help. Where is Li Zhenzhen?"
"I'm here!" Li Zhenzhen cupped his hands and said.
Lu Xiangsheng said loudly,"Your troops no longer need to defend the right wing. I will order your troops to follow the other troops into the battlefield and fight with the rebels!"”
"I have received your order!"
"Generals, listen up. Prepare to follow me into the formation and personally enter the battlefield to defeat the bandits!" Lu Xiangsheng said.”

After dealing with the rebel soldiers, Lin Feng quickly ordered 10,000 troops to march north to support Lu Xiangsheng's main battlefield.
It took them two and a half hours to reach the main battlefield, thirty miles away from the northern battlefield. When Li Zhi arrived at the battlefield, he saw that the entire battle was already in a state of anxiety.
Kill! The Eternal Cavalry charged down first, firing first. After firing twice, they killed more than five thousand bandits. They charged into the formation and slashed with their swords. The three thousand cavalrymen each rode a horse, wearing five layers of heavy armor like the infantrymen. For a moment, they were in boundless glory.
Lin Feng no longer hesitated. He ordered the soldiers to load up the gunpowder and bullets before leading the army to attack the east wing of the bandits.
Seeing the troops approaching, the bandits waved their flags and the messengers shuttled back and forth. Two thousand people abandoned the government troops in front and retreated from the battlefield, welcoming the troops from the east.
These 2,000 people were originally fighting against the Liaodong Army Commander Zu Kuan's team. Together with the other 3,000 old thieves, they had been suppressing the Liaodong Army. Now that 2,000 men had been drawn out, the pressure on Zu Kuan's front was instantly lifted, and the Liaodong Army was saved from danger.
Zu Kuan was originally surrounded by the rebel soldiers. He had been fighting for more than two hours, and his strength was almost exhausted. However, he could not be lenient at this critical moment of life and death. He took a breath and suddenly raised his saber to slash at the bandits in the south. He wanted to force the bandits who surrounded him to rush back to the main team, but he was forced back by the elite old bandits.
Zu Kuan felt a chill in his heart. He thought to himself that he had been through hundreds of battles. Was he going to die here today?
Zu Kuan was feeling anxious when he suddenly saw the rebel soldiers surrounding him abandon him and retreat to the east.
He was saved? Who saved him? Zu Kuan was ecstatic. He looked up and saw Lin Feng who had come to help.
