Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 215 Murder Case

Wait until the Tartar cavalry retreats.

The gate of the camp opened, and hundreds of engineers rushed out and began to clear the battlefield in front of the camp.

Repair the fortifications, collect the crossbows and feather arrows, and prepare for the next battle.

The Tatars were also stubborn and attacked Wang Qian's camp.

He learned his lesson the second time and got a lot of wooden boards, which he placed on the honeycomb formation while under a hail of arrows.

Then let the warhorse move forward on the planks.

In order to relieve the pressure on the king's front camp, the camps on both sides began to attack and tie down the Tatar cavalry.

Bilan became furious and ordered the troops in the camp to be divided into four groups, with 2,000 horses in each group.

After leaving the camp, they split into four directions and attacked the four camps of the group.

The two sides began a tug of war.

Several other large camps also sent out cavalry to attract the attention of the Tatars.

They began to shoot arrows at the Tartar troops from a distance, disrupting their order.

When the Tartars came on horseback to chase them, they hid back in the camp in time.

The two sides fought like this for three or four days.

The Tatars never captured a single camp.

However, with more than 10,000 troops in the Tatar camp, the supply of food and fodder began to run out within three or four days.

Bilan sat alone in the military tent, frowning as he looked at the battle report in front of him.

In less than four days, nearly three thousand cavalry had been lost.

If we continue to fight like this, the consequences will be disastrous.

Lin Feng is not Qin Zhong and Cui Yong, who can only stay in the city and defend it.

His mind is filled with countless tricks that make it impossible to stop him.

Bilan once again felt Lin Feng's power.

The soldiers in the camp had lost confidence in fighting, especially against Lin Feng's army.

Most of them shrink back or collapse at the first touch.

It is difficult for the Tiezhen Iron Cavalry to display its former invincibility.

Bi Lan is so sad.

I just set up a camp here. I didn't attack the castle, nor did I burn, kill, and loot everywhere.

Why can't Lin Feng tolerate himself?

What on earth do you want to do?

Bilan was so angry that he threw a teapot on the table to the ground.

After much thought, Bilan finally lost his patience.

If food and fodder cannot be transported in, and there is no food in the camp, the army's morale will inevitably be lost.

By then, the army will naturally collapse without a fight.

Instead of letting Lin Feng chase and attack him, it is better to retreat in an orderly manner.

I can't beat you, can't I just retreat?

On the fifth day, Lin Feng, standing on the city wall, saw the Tartar army begin to retreat westward.

Bai Jing hurriedly said, "Brother, why don't you rush over and beat the fallen dog?"

Lin Feng shook his head: "No, their army retreated in an orderly manner. If we charge at them now, we will only be short-sighted and face a counterattack from the Tartars."

"So we're just going to watch them run away?"

"In a charge against the Tartars, using more against fewer is fine, but using fewer against more is courting death."

Lin Feng naturally remembered that he led 200 elite cavalrymen to charge against 200 elite cavalrymen of the Tartars in the wilderness.

The result was terrible.

Although they were the elite troops of the Tartars, it also illustrates the point from the side.

The Tatars did have a significant advantage in cavalry battles.

If you blindly use cavalry to attack the enemy, regardless of the outcome, your own losses will inevitably be huge.

I have finally accumulated this little fortune.

It would be better if we could rely on the imperial court as a big tree.

Now I am fighting alone, with enemies everywhere. How can I be so reckless and seek death?

Several camps were waiting for Lin Feng's orders.

Without receiving any orders from Lin Feng, they could only watch the large group of Tartars pass by.

No one dared to leave the camp and pursue without permission.

Lin Feng is usually gentle and polite to others, but once military regulations are violated, he will be ruthless.

The punishment was even more brutal than that of the Tartars.

Heavy rewards and severe punishments are no joke.

After waiting for half a day, people from all the camps came to inquire about the situation.

Lin Feng just told him to stay put and not to move rashly.

The soldiers in the camp did not relax until the large group of Tartars gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

Lin Feng ordered the engineers to pack up the things in the Tatar camp.

Those barracks were just right for use in their own projects.

The troops in other camps remained on standby.

He was afraid that the Tartars would play some tricks and suddenly launch a surprise attack.

After returning to the command center, I just sat down and took the tea handed to me by Bai Jing, but I haven't taken a sip yet.

A soldier came to report.

A murder case occurred in Bin County.

Lin Feng asked doubtfully, "Didn't the County Magistrate Gu handle it?"

"General, a soldier in the army was killed and stuffed into a kang hole. It took several days to find his body."

"Has the murderer been found?"

"No, this is the report of the ancient magistrate."

The soldier handed over a letter bag.

Lin Feng took it and handed it to Bai Jing.

"Whoever is under his command will be the one to investigate. If the murderer is found, he will be severely punished."

Bai Jing took the envelope, opened it, took it out and took a look.

"The officer in charge of the Bin County Camp, Wei Shuguo, had his throat smashed and was stuffed into a kang in the internment camp. They couldn't handle it, and they didn't dare to conceal it."

Lin Feng asked casually: "When did it happen?"

"Six days ago, an official went to register the refugees at night and saw this Wei Shuguo."

"Oh? A refugee committing a crime? Who should I register?"

Lin Feng took a sip of water and asked.

"It is said that she is a blind girl and also a mute."

Before Lin Feng could swallow a mouthful of water, it spat out with a "puff" sound.

Then, under the surprised gazes of several people, he became stunned.

His mind flashed back to the time when he was touring the shelter.

On the way back to Lingdouzi, I felt something was wrong, but I didn't have time to think about it at the time.

When I thought about it carefully this time, I felt that the woman wearing a cloak and blindfolded her eyes was strange.

Lin Feng frowned and recalled that a detail flashed through his mind at that time, but he didn't pay attention to it.

Bai Jing took a silk handkerchief and wiped the water stains off his body.

"What's wrong, brother?"

Lin Feng looked at Bai Jing's white hands and suddenly realized.

When the woman was eating, her whole body was covered by the cloak, with only a few fingers exposed.

Just like Bai Jing's fingers, delicate and white.

Since he was a farmer rescued from the village, how could he have such delicate hands?

"No, this is not right."

"What's wrong, brother?"

"This woman is not simple."

"Which woman?"

"Take a look at the report. Is that blind girl missing?"

Bai Jing quickly flipped through the report, then looked up in surprise.

"Brother, a blind girl is missing."

Lin Feng glanced at the people in the room.

"Xie Zhong, Li Hu."

The two were standing outside the door. When they heard the call, they immediately pushed the door open and walked in.

"Have men guard the city gates, and then search the entire city for a blindfolded woman."

The two of them were a little confused.

Lin Feng pointed to his eyes.

"Still thinking about those blue eyes?"

Xie Zhong's eyes suddenly widened.

"Nalan? She came to our castle?"

Li Hu also opened his mouth wide. He certainly knew how powerful that woman was.

"I think it's this woman. Be careful and bring more people with you. If you encounter resistance, kill them without mercy."

Xie Zhong and Li Hu nodded in agreement and turned to leave the room.

Bai Jing saw the two people leaving and asked hurriedly.

"Brother, who is Nalan?"

"The Silver-Armored Leader of the Tiezhen Clan, she almost killed me."

"Ah! A woman is so powerful?"

Lin Feng looked around the room.

"This woman has set her sights on me, how could she be so crazy?"

As he spoke, he subconsciously reached for the knife.

"Where's my knife? Keep it close to me, so I can feel more at ease."
