Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 59: Killing on the battlefield

In less than half an hour, Li Donglai strode in with the bleeding head in his hand.

"General Lin, Lu Yucong's head has been brought here."

"Alright, Li Donglai will be appointed Chief of the Third Cavalry Regiment of the Bingzi Division of the Zhenxi Border Army. Your division will be divided into three divisions, with Hu Jincai and Li Xiong leading each."

Li Donglai knelt on one leg and said, "General Xie Lin, please take me in. If you ask me to kill the Tartars, I will fight to the death."

Lin Feng stood up at this time, took a step forward, and reached out to help Li Donglai up.

In fact, Lin Feng had already figured out the situation in Bin County.

The people were living in misery because of the Tartars and bandits, and the county town was almost deserted.

In addition to the collusion between the county officials and the bandits, several wealthy families in the city also had unclear ties with them.

With Li Donglai's pledge of allegiance, Lin Feng felt relieved to let his men take control of the county seat of Bing County.

After a long commotion, a few people arranged the banquet again and sat around the table.

Li Donglai called a few more brothers in and sat at another table.

One of them, a man named Tan Mujian, bowed and saluted when he saw Lin Feng.

"General Lin, my name is Tan Mujian. My family has been making bows for three generations. I wonder who shot those two arrows just now?"

Li Xiong quickly said, "It was shot by our general. What do you think?"

"It's amazing! I've never seen such amazing archery skills. There was no sound, and the person was nailed to the wall."

Li Donglai's brothers were all amazed.

Tan Mujian raised his hand to silence them.

"General Lin, can you let me see your bow and arrow?"

Lin Feng smiled and gestured to Bai Jing.

Bai Jing then raised Lin Feng's bow and arrow in front of Tan Mujian.

Tan Mujian first wiped his hands repeatedly on his clothes, then carefully took the bow and arrow and looked it up and down and left and right.

Looking at his appearance, you can tell that he is an expert.

He looked at it, shook his head and muttered to himself.

"That's not right. How can this be handled like this?"

"This isn't right either. How can the arrow be shot smoothly at this angle?"

Lin Feng needed such a talent, so he simply let him go aside and study the bow and arrow.

The rest of the people gathered at the table and asked the waiter to serve the dishes.

Li Xiong followed him.

This kid is very smart. I'm afraid he will slip away and I won't be able to find him.

Lin Feng then asked the head of the yamen runners to take people to find other officials from the county government.

A few more young men were gathered together, among them was a scholar, a young clerk in the county government office, named Wen Cheng.

There is a lack of culture in this era and too few people can read.

The young clerk Wen Cheng became Bai Jing's subordinate.

Lin Feng asked Li Xiong to ride a horse outside the city and bring all the troops stationed outside into the city.

He joined forces with Li Donglai's men to block the city gates to prevent any news from leaking out.

At this time, the soldiers stationed in Bin County had already dispersed because they had no food or wages to pay.

Therefore, Lin Feng took control of it easily and it temporarily became the base of his army.

At night, Lin Feng began to make a training plan.

These newly enlisted soldiers generally have very poor quality. If they want to fight against the Tatars, they must significantly improve their physical fitness and skills.

How to train soldiers scientifically has become the most important issue at present.

First, Lin Feng changed the two meals a day into three meals a day.

All soldiers got up early every day and ran three laps around the city.

About ten kilometers.

Running is the best way to improve your physical fitness.

As for skill training, he wanted to improve his Wind-Splitting Blade and make it a standard skill for the army.

This sword technique is very suitable for group combat in the era of cold weapons.

Long-range attacks are also of utmost importance and are essential every day, requiring at least a hundred bow and arrow shots.

Lin Feng predicts that after three months, those who still cannot keep up with the pace will have to go home and farm.

Such a guy, even if he barely goes to the battlefield, will only be cannon fodder.

Three days later, Li Donglai found Lin Feng in the county government office.

"General, there's news from outside the city. Lü Sihuai, the head of Helmet House Mountain, is leading forty or fifty men and is heading towards the county town."

"How is this person?"

Li Donglai hesitated. "Lü Sihuai was originally a butcher. He fled his hometown after killing someone. Relying on his great strength and ruthlessness, he gathered a group of refugees and occupied Helmet House Mountain."

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said, "You go and do his work. If he doesn't want to join the army, we won't force him."

"But this person is indeed fierce and might turn hostile and attack me if things go wrong."

"Will he be more ferocious than the Tartar?"

"That's not the case. I'll go and tell him right away."

Lin Feng ordered the soldiers guarding the city to let Lu Sihuai and others into the city, and ambushed troops around the city.

Li Donglai was waiting in the middle of the only main street in the county town, watching Lu Sihuai riding a strong horse and coming with forty or fifty followers.

When the two were three or five steps apart, Lu Sihuai reined in his horse and looked at Li Donglai in confusion.

"Second brother, what are you doing here?"

"Brother, the owner of Bing County has changed. It's a centurion of the border army named Lin Feng, the one we often mentioned, the one who killed the Tartars."

"Where's Old Lu?"

"died."

"County Lieutenant Tao..."

“They’re all locked up.”

Lu Sihuai jumped off his horse with his fat and burly body and strode up to Li Donglai.

"This Bing County originally belonged to us brothers, how could we let others take it away?"

"Brother, let's follow Lin Feng to kill the Tartars, shall we?"

Lu Sihuai glared and said, "Nonsense, I haven't lived enough yet, so don't follow me and seek death."

"Brother, you know Lin Feng. He's powerful enough to kill a bronze-armored Tartar. Why don't we follow him and follow the right path?"

"Hehehe, Bronze-armored Tartars? It's just a legend. If the Tartars come, I can also fight them. Second brother, don't listen to nonsense. Follow me and you will definitely live a good life."

As he spoke, he patted Li Donglai's shoulder.

Just as I was about to miss the opportunity and move forward, I suddenly realized it.

"Second brother, what did you promise Lin Feng?"

Li Donglai nodded.

"Brother, I have agreed to follow Lin Feng to kill the Tartars."

"Are you going to betray me?"

Lu Sihuai frowned and stared.

"Brother, there's no return from banditry. We should get out of this as soon as possible."

"Haha, you followed Big Brother and killed so many people and robbed so much property. It's too late to leave now."

Li Donglai took a deep breath.

"I was forced to become a bandit. I am willing to die on the battlefield to atone for my sins."

"Li Donglai, you don't have to die on the battlefield. I will send you down there to atone for your sins."

As Lu Sihuai spoke, he pulled out the scimitar hanging from his waist and chopped him in the face.

Li Donglai knew his temperament well, and telling him so much was already the limit of his patience.

He immediately held the long sword in his hand and blocked it in front of him with the scabbard.

At that moment, Li Donglai was slashed by a knife and staggered back several steps.

Just as he stood firm, Lu Sihuai's scimitar was about to hit him again.

"Then don't blame me for offending you."

Li Donglai drew his sword and started fighting with Lu Sihuai.

The two rolled around and fought happily.

The minions around them stared blankly at the two bosses fighting with knives, not knowing what to do.

Lin Feng sat cross-legged on the roof of the county government office's gatehouse, watching the two people fighting on the street from afar.

Bai Jing stood behind him.

"Brother, how are the martial arts of these two people?"

"You're pretty good at it, can't you see?"

Bai Jing shook her head: "Lü Sihuai is strong, Li Donglai is agile, it's hard to tell who will win for now."

Lin Feng slowly stood up and stretched out his hand for Bai Jing to take down the bow and arrow.

"These are all Jianghu fights, not battlefield killings."

As he spoke, he placed the feather arrow on the bow and slowly pulled it apart.

Bai Jing frowned and asked, "Killing people on the battlefield? So what?"

"Then you should stop talking and just get started."

Before he finished speaking, the feather arrow in Lin Feng's hand flew out.
