Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 201: Discovering Traces

The Tartars came out of Qingshui City and headed straight north.

This area is entirely wilderness, with only a few hills and slopes.

Then they can only hide in some deserted villages.

Moreover, in order to fight, they would not be able to carry much supplies with them. To replenish food and fodder, they would need to continue attacking and looting new cities and camps.

Then their next target of attack is likely to be Bin County or Weiyuan County.

Linfeng in Weiyuan cannot do anything about it, but Bin County must send someone to notify them immediately.

Be sure to strengthen your defenses to avoid attacks from the Tartars.

In such a large area, trying to find 200 Tatar cavalrymen is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The two men had frowns on their faces, looking completely clueless.

Although this Tatar cavalry was small in number, it caused great damage to the Qingshui area.

It was like a sharp thorn piercing his flesh, keeping Lin Feng awake at night.

The two of them pondered for half the night and designed several methods, but none of them were very mature.

Finally, Lin Feng gave Wei Bao some instructions.

"Try to disperse the cavalry as much as possible. Once you get any news, pass it on to me immediately."

"Don't worry, Boss. I will definitely find them."

"The first priority is safety. Every Ranger must return alive."

Wei Bao nodded, and when he saw that Lin Feng didn't say anything else, he waved his hand.

So he retreated from the house.

Lin Feng then went to the residence of General Sun Yang.

Because the castle is small, the residences of the generals are also their offices.

The two sat down and Lin Feng looked around.

"General Sun, are you still used to living here?"

"Stop talking nonsense, kid. We've all been through life and death on the battlefield, so we can live among the dead."

Lin Feng nodded and smiled: "He is indeed a talented general who will be a pillar of the clan."

"You're not done yet."

"Okay, General Sun, please keep an eye on the battle situation for me. I need to go out and do something."

Sun Yang narrowed his eyes: "Why, what happened?"

"There's a Tartar cavalry unit hiding in the Qingshui area, causing great damage. I have to go and find it."

"Where are they?"

Lin Feng shook his head: "I only know there are about 200 riders. Their leader is very skilled in martial arts and has a sharp mind."

"What kind of person is he?"

"According to Qin Fang's description, this man was clad in silver armor, tall and incredibly strong. He chopped Qin Fang off his horse with a single blow..."

Sun Yang was shocked: "How is Qin Fang?"

"It's nothing serious, just a little shock, nothing serious."

"It seems this Tartar is of high rank."

"Oh, and another notable feature is that his eyes are blue."

"So, this person is not from the Tiezhen tribe."

"It's hard to say. Maybe he's a mixed-blood. But that's all the information we have. Qin Fang dodged quickly, otherwise he would have been killed by him."

Sun Yang frowned and said, "Qin Fang, this kid, is considered one of the best in the army in terms of martial arts, but he couldn't withstand a single blow from the other party..."

As he spoke, he went to see Lin Feng.

"You have to be careful. Remember you have a big family behind you."

Lin Feng smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, General Sun, this sting must be removed, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."

"I have nothing to worry about. Think about it, you've come all this way without ever suffering any loss."

"That's settled then. I'm leaving."

Lin Feng said goodbye and walked out of the house.

Guards were already waiting outside the gate with horses.

Lin Feng jumped on his horse, waved to Sun Yang who was sending him out of the door, and urged his horse to gallop towards the city gate.

Lin Feng brought his own 200 guards, with Xie Zhong and Li Hu each leading a team.

Zhao Shuo followed beside him.

The group rushed out of the castle, avoided the Tartar camp, and headed straight for Qingshui County.

Lin Feng thought that staying in the castle and waiting was not a solution.

Since the cavalry has been sent out to search, he should also lead the team out of the city so that they can react more quickly while on the move.

Of course, it would be best if we could find each other.

They first headed eastward along Qingshui County, taking a look at every village they passed.

Lin Feng judged that after the Tartars attacked Qingshui, they would most likely go to Bing County.

They would not plunder military camps because doing so would be costly and would also have low returns.

If you go to Bing County, you will definitely stay in the villages to rest along the way.

Because this area is entirely wilderness, you can see a long way off at a glance.

Any normal person would let the team hide in the village, not only to avoid the wind and rain, but mainly to avoid being seen.

There are countless villages in the entire Qingshui area.

Generally, nine out of ten rooms are empty.

It is rare to see living people walking around there.

Because of the Tartars' roaming and killing, it is rare to see pedestrians walking on the roads in the Qingshui area.

There used to be many farmers tending the fields, but now there is not a single person to be seen.

This shows how great the influence of this group of Tartars is.

While Lin Feng was on his way, he was thinking about his next direction.

When they crossed Qingshui County and arrived at the junction of Qingshui and Bing County, some cavalry caught up with them.

The cavalry reported that they found suspected traces of Tartars in a ruined village.

Lin Feng immediately became excited.

I didn't expect that we could find this Tartar team so easily.

He immediately asked the cavalry to lead the way, and the cavalry turned and rushed out.

The dilapidated village was not far away, only about twenty miles away.

They found horse hoof prints and many wheel tracks at the entrance of the village.

Lin Feng looked at the quiet village in confusion.

These Tatars are supposed to be very cunning and should not be allowed to get so close without any reaction.

There must be something fishy going on here.

If he could set a trap for the Tartars, others could naturally set a trap for him as well.

Lin Feng waved his hand and asked two fast guards to dismount and sneak into the village to check.

The others took out their bows and crossbows, ready to provide support.

Lin Feng took the bow and arrow from Xie Zhong's hand and put three feather arrows on the bow.

The crossbow has a short range and is not enough to provide support to the two reconnaissance soldiers.

Lin Feng held the bow in his hand and followed the movements of two soldiers entering the village.

I saw a soldier climb over a broken wall, run a few steps, and climb onto a roof that was about to collapse.

He leaned his head out from the roof and looked at the yard below.

Lin Feng stared at the soldier's figure at this time, suddenly pulled the bow, and let go, and the arrow flew away.

With a "thud", it was nailed to the thatched roof beside the soldier.

The soldier shuddered, shrank back and looked down at the feather arrow on the side.

Unexpectedly, just as he shrank back and lowered his head, a feather arrow flew past his head.

The soldiers quickly shrank their bodies and lay on the roof.

Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief because he heard the sound of a bow being pulled in the village.

It is certain that there are Tartars inside, but I don’t know how they are arranged.

The Tatars' archery skills are also very accurate, and the soldiers who are scouting will be hit if they are not careful.

Lin Fengchong pointed to the right.

"Go around separately and see what's going on."

Xie nodded, waved his hand, and led a team of soldiers on horseback to the right side of the village.

After calling back the two soldiers who had entered the village to investigate, Lin Feng led his team to the left.

The two scouts only saw carriages in the village, but no Tartars.

The two sides met behind the village.

Xie Zhong shook his head to indicate that he found nothing unusual.

Lin Feng was a little disappointed, if it was that elite Tartar cavalry.

Such a small village cannot hide more than 200 cavalrymen, and some traces will inevitably be revealed.
