Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 111 Wuwei General

Fifty long-range archers released their fully drawn longbows, and dozens of feathered arrows flew into the air.

After reaching a certain height, the arrows swooped down from mid-air towards the Tatar cavalry.

Although the Tartars are galloping on their horses, they have a natural feeling for the battlefield.

The sound of bowstrings being stretched and arrows whistling in the air made them raise their shields on horseback at the same time.

Those without shields held a pile of sheepskins in front of their heads and continued to charge without slowing down.

Amidst a hail of arrows and the clanking sound, only two or three Tatars were shot down.

Men and horses rolled in the dust.

The others didn't even look, but raised their weapons and urged their horses forward.

After only two rounds of longbow shooting, the distance between the two sides was within thirty steps.

Lin Qiaomei drew her long sword: "Crossbows ready, everyone, charge!"

She was the first to pick up the horse and start to speed up.

In theory, thirty steps is the minimum distance a warhorse can accelerate, especially since the opponent is at the highest speed.

They are already at a disadvantage.

But Lin Qiaomei was confident in Lin Feng's new weapon, which could fire at least two rounds of crossbow arrows at such a short distance.

The two sides are rapidly approaching.

The sound of bows and crossbows exploding continuously.

Within thirty steps, the crossbow is extremely powerful and has much greater impact than a bow and arrow.

The Tatar cavalry had not expected that the enemy had such sharp means. When they found that they had reached the distance of engagement, they excitedly raised their weapons and roared.

The next moment, two rounds of twenty crossbow arrows instantly crossed the space and appeared in front of him.

There was no time to dodge. The huge impact force caused the Tatar cavalry to tremble and fall off their horses.

More than half of the Tatar cavalry, who originally numbered less than twenty, fell down again.

There were less than five riders still on horseback.

Then, fifty or sixty squadrons of cavalry covered them and submerged them in the torrent.

Qin Fang led a dozen riders, passed Lin Qiaomei's team, and ran a distance of about a hundred steps.

Turning around, he found that Lin Qiaomei had already commanded the army to charge forward.

He quickly raised his hand to stop the cavalry.

There were more than twenty Tartar cavalrymen behind him. He could not run away alone, so he had to let them come to support him and charge forward to fight.

Without hesitation, Qin Fang shouted loudly and turned his horse around.

He urged his horse to rush back.

It was only a distance of about a hundred steps, and he had to turn around, speed up, and charge.

It only took a dozen or so breaths.

But when Qin Fang brought his men to the battlefield, he found that the battle was already over.

More than twenty Tartar cavalrymen were killed, and all fell to the ground.

Lin Qiaomei was excitedly commanding the soldiers, cleaning up the battlefield, and chopping off the heads of the Tartars with swords.

Qin Fang stared blankly at the scene in front of him, unable to come back to his senses for a moment.

Lin Qiaomei held a Tartar head in her hand and raised it in front of her. A few drops of blood were splashed on her small, fair face.

"Hey, General Qin, please forgive me for laughing. This thing is worth a lot of silver."

Qin Fang was visually shocked and grinned at her, not knowing whether he was crying or laughing.

"Well done, well done! Women are just as good as men."

Lin Qiaomei waved the long knife in her hand.

"Have you finished packing? We should go back."

It took Qin Fang a while to come back to his senses and he waved to his cavalry.

"Let's go. We've already been given our first lesson before we even get into town."

A dozen or so cavalrymen followed behind him with their heads lowered, silently urging their horses forward.

They felt this shock for the first time when they came out of the border town.

More than twenty Tartar cavalrymen had their heads chopped off in the blink of an eye.

The cavalry of fifty or sixty people in front of them had only four or five injured people, and they were still able to ride on their horses and march back.

More than a dozen people were whispering to each other, discussing and venting their frustrations.

Qin Fang entered Qingshui County and shook his head with emotion after seeing Lin Feng.

"General Lin, all of your subordinates are talented and capable. Qin is truly impressed by them."

He originally led twenty riders out of the city, but because there were so many of them and they looked conspicuous, they were discovered by the Tartars.

Chase and beat them all the way.

When it comes to riding skills, they are definitely not good enough.

In order to preserve the main force of the team, the Qin side sent out eight cavalrymen to cover the rear.

When they were about to reach Qingshui City, the Tartars caught up with them again.

This means that the eight cavalry soldiers who were left behind had been killed by the Tartars.

They sacrificed their lives to buy time for Qin Fang to escape.

Qin Fang introduced the names and positions of several of his men. These were the military commanders assigned by General Qin to Lin Feng.

Then, Qin Fang took out the seal of the general.

"Lin Feng, you have been promoted to the 31st Battalion of the Zhenxi Protectorate Army, commander of a thousand men, and awarded the rank of Wuwei General."

Lin Feng was very calm. He still didn't understand the official title and rank of Dazong.

Centurions and thousand-man commanders are easy to understand, but what exactly is this Wuwei General?

Seeing Lin Feng's indifferent expression.

Qin Fang smiled and said, "General Lin, you are now a full-fledged fifth-rank general. After escaping the situation, the general will hand over the case file to the Protectorate and then report it to the Ministry of War for record."

Lin Feng nodded, finally having a general understanding.

"Then how should Qingshui County be dealt with?"

"The general has said that the counties under the jurisdiction of the Zhenxi Protectorate can be placed under military control during wartime. Qingshui County is now under the jurisdiction of General Lin."

"Okay, let's wait for General Qin's words."

He breathed a sigh of relief, finally taking over Qingshui with full legitimacy.

Even though Lin Feng came to power in a very powerful way, it was still very important to have legitimacy before he became truly powerful.

With the support of General Qin, we can do whatever we want.

He and Qin Fang drank and talked at night.

From the current situation to the future direction.

In addition, the border troops' behavior of reselling military rations has become a common practice from top to bottom.

In other words, the border troops were rotten from top to bottom, inside and out.

The Dazong court was unable to take care of these things at all. Emperor Zhao Zhen was fighting with Prince Fu Zhao and the battle was fierce.

How could he care about the border troops? He is too busy trying to win them over.

Several great generals on the border were the ones they tried hard to win over.

Selling some military rations, what’s the big deal?

The two talked all night and slept in the same bed before dawn.

Sleep with your feet touching.

Lin Feng had been up for several nights, and after being overwhelmed by the alcohol, he couldn't take it anymore.

I slept until nightfall the next day and then woke up.

At present, the army under Lin Feng has reached nearly 800 people.

If engineers and young and strong civilians are included, there are more than a thousand people, which can be considered a full-strength force.

After waking up, Lin Feng immediately ordered the Qingshui County team and the Lingdouzi team to make redeployments.

Disband the newly recruited soldiers and mix them into the original team.

Qin Fang officially became his deputy general, assisting Lin Feng in commanding the 31st Battalion.

Wang Qian and Hu Jincai were also promoted to generals.

Each of them led a team of 500 people.

The rest were promoted.

Zhang Changyou, Yu Lei and Li Donglai were promoted to lieutenant generals and could lead two hundred-man teams.

Lin Qiaomei leads a team of 100 long-range attackers.

Li Xiong is in charge of the army's logistics, and his rank is equivalent to that of a lieutenant general.

Bai Jing is Lin Feng's chief guard, with a rank equivalent to that of a lieutenant general.

Everyone knows that this promotion comes from the order of the General of the Zhenxi Prefecture Army, and will be reported to the Ministry of War of the Imperial Court for record.

In other words, everyone is a legitimate and formal cadre.

For a moment, everyone was excited and told the good news to their families.

Lin Feng had a strong army and was full of confidence.

However, during this period of time, the Tatars and the border troops were silent, which made him feel suspicious.

Nearly a month has passed, and these two giants have been damaged, so there should be some reaction.

In addition to strengthening the training of soldiers, Lin Feng also strengthened the defense of Qingshui County.

Thanks to his efforts, some of the water conservancy facilities for irrigating farmland have begun to be used.

To make things fair, a canal was built from the city to the farmland outside the city.

Water was drawn from the wells in the city and pumped into the canals using water wheels, then flowed into the public canals beside the farmlands and split into two streams along the edge of the fields.

From the two main canals, countless branch canals are divided and flow into the ridges of the fields.

The principle of this project is not complicated, but it has many branches and forks.

In order to save time, the canal was made entirely of wood and bamboo, like a spider web, dazzling everyone.

It was amazing and breathtaking.
