Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 319 Are you still listening?

Seeing that everyone was silent, Tao Jinwang looked very proud, as if he was already a soldier of the Qingshui Army.

"What do you call this? This is called a person's reputation and a tree's shadow. If you throw the three words 'Qingshuijun' into the Tartar camp, they will tremble all over for a long time."

Someone muttered, "That's a bit of a boast."

"What? Don't be so unconvinced. You know about Lin Feng's capture of the Silver-Armored Tartar, right?"

"Ah, is there anything else?"

Many soldiers looked surprised.

Tao Jinwang spitted proudly.

"Nonsense, that's right. Back then, that silver-armored Tartar, with two hundred elite cavalrymen, was rampaging across the land west of the town. No army could hold them back."

When everyone heard this, they pricked up their ears again.

"Those two hundred elite cavalrymen were led by a silver-armored Tartar who was incredibly arrogant at the time."

"Brother, what happened next?"

A short soldier stretched his head and asked anxiously.

"Haha, later on, General Lin Fenglin single-handedly rushed into the army and captured him alive."

As Tao Jinwang spoke, he gestured with his hands, as if he was charging into battle.

"Ah? Lin Feng went there alone?"

Some people questioned.

Tao Jinwang looked disdainful.

"Of course, Lin Feng himself grabbed the silver-armored Tartar, threw him across the saddle, urged his horse on, and rode away. No one could stop him."

Everyone was immediately stunned, with blank expressions on their faces.

Even outside the house, Lin Feng, who was standing in front of the window, had a wry smile on his face.

Originally, Lin Feng wanted to come here to test the opinions of a few border soldiers.

By the way, listen to their real thoughts in advance.

Who knew that when I walked to the window, I heard these nonsense.

Cheng Liang and Wen Jian, who were following behind Lin Feng, lowered their heads, suppressed their smiles, and did not dare to look up.

Bai Jing, who was standing on the side, covered her mouth with one hand and gave Lin Feng a thumbs up with the other.

Lin Feng shook his head: "That's what he said. I never said anything like that, did I?"

"Brother, are you still listening?"

"I can't listen to any more of this. I don't know what more outrageous things will happen next."

As he spoke, Lin Feng strode into the house.

Tao Jinwang in the room was talking excitedly, but suddenly he saw several men who looked like officers walk in, and he immediately shut up.

Those who were sitting or lying on the kang jumped down and stood up straight.

Lin Feng's eyes swept across the faces of each soldier one by one.

"Who is Tao Jinwang?"

Tao Jinwang immediately took two steps forward, stood in front of Lin Feng, and answered with his chest puffed out.

"General, I'm Tao Jinwang."

Lin Feng looked him up and down.

I saw that he was a man of medium build with a square face.

"how old are you?"

"Report to the General, twenty-six years old."

"Do you have a wife?"

Tao Jinwang bowed slightly.

"Report to the General, no."

"Are you from Qingshui Shaliu Village?"

"Report to the General, I have Tao Dazhuang and Tao Erhu, both from Shaliu Village."

As Tao Jinwang spoke, he pointed at the other two young men.

Lin Feng nodded and looked around at the soldiers.

"Are you all from Zhenxi?"

A soldier raised his hand and said, "General, my hometown is Dingyuan Prefecture."

Tao Jinwang leaned forward and said, "General, General Lin Fenglin and I are from the same hometown. We often come to visit each other in Lingdouzi Village. Hehe."

"Well, I commend you for your bravery. You are the first to stand up and turn from darkness to light. Your courage is commendable."

Lin Feng paused. "At the same time, this will set an example for the other border troops. You will be rewarded, and everyone will see that the Qingshui Army will not break their promises, but will honor their commitments."

Upon hearing that there was a reward, all the surrendered border soldiers became excited and looked at Lin Feng expectantly.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Tomorrow, the awards will be presented publicly in the square in front of the castle headquarters. Please stay tuned."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

Bai Jing waved to the soldiers and said, "Have a good rest today and get enough rest."

The soldiers looked at Bai Jing in surprise.

It was only by hearing the voice that I realized that this pretty boy was actually a woman.

After Lin Feng and the others left the house, Tao Jinwang turned around and spoke quietly.

"Hey, I heard that the steward of Lingdouzi Castle is a woman."

"Ah, isn't it the woman from before?"

Tao Dazhuang said in a muffled voice.

"I've heard about it too. She's very beautiful, and Lin Feng is fascinated by her."

Tao Jinwang glared.

"You're talking nonsense again. Lin Feng is a military god. How could he be fascinated by a woman?"

"It's a legend."

Tao Dazhuang scratched his head and said.

"You can't spread it randomly..."

"I'm not messing around."

The room began to become chaotic again.

Lin Feng has received the battle report from Hu Jincai and others.

The border troops were defeated and fled, and the Qingshui Army gathered more than 23,000 border troops.

They are being sent to various camps for training.

After assessment, those who pass will be incorporated into the Qingshui Corps.

Those who failed to meet the requirements were either sent to engineering battalions or retired and resettled in several county towns, where they were allocated housing and land.

Lin Feng did not have much hope for the military proficiency of the border troops.

With more than 20,000 people, it would be great if one-third of them could pass.

However, this has made a great contribution to the population increase in several counties.

Lin Feng’s only worry is that there are too many single men and a shortage of women of marriageable age.

These young and strong men are a challenge to manage.

We have to find something for them to do, to consume a lot of their physical energy so that they don't have the time to cause trouble.

Cui Yong was surrounded by guards and ran forward, and he could no longer tell north from south.

He only stopped running in front of a dilapidated village when he saw no more pursuers behind him.

Everyone was breathing heavily, the war horses were covered in sweat, and their muscles were trembling.

Cui Yong looked at the guard team that only had two or three hundred people left, and slid down from his horse with a gloomy face.

A guard came forward to support him and walked to a broken wall to sit down.

Another guard brought a water bag.

Cui Yong took a few breaths and asked, "Where's Cui Ying?"

One of the guards replied, "General, we've gotten separated."

Cui Yong said dejectedly.

"Disperse the men and go out to gather the troops."

Several guards went to convey the order.

Regardless of their fatigue, the guards climbed onto their horses again and rushed out in different directions.

As the sky grew darker, Cui Yong stood in front of the small village, watching the troops gradually gathering together.

A guard came forward and reported: "General, we have gathered more than 1,300 cavalrymen."

"Well, wait a minute."

As it was getting dark, Cui Yong ordered everyone to camp in the village.

Song Yi galloped for more than an hour and finally escaped the pursuit of the Qingshui Army.

There were less than a hundred cavalrymen left.

He rolled off his horse in a daze, lying on his back on the grass, gasping for breath.

The guards surrounded him and watched vigilantly for any unusual movements in the distance.

Kong Jin was not so lucky. His guards were chased down by Hu Jincai's five hundred elite cavalrymen.

Under a burst of crossbow fire, the guards fell off their horses and rolled over.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, Kong Jin turned around and shouted loudly.

"Stop, I'm Kong Jin, the cavalry general of the border army. I'm asking your general to come over and talk to you."

There was chaos all around and no one listened to him.

Before Kong Jin could rebuke him, a crossbow arrow flew out from nowhere and pierced his shoulder.

He screamed and fell off his horse.

The guards around Kong Jin were desperately trying to resist the attacking Qingshui cavalry, and did not notice that their general was no longer on his horse.

The chaotic battle soon ended.

Kong Jin's guards were scattered, some died and some escaped.
