Chapter 226 Generous Benefits
Du Lisheng sneered, "I think Lin Feng has done something that has angered Heaven and Man again, and has angered Master Tie."
Chen Tongpan was still grateful to Lin Feng in his heart.
"The Tartars invaded Dazong, and they did enough to infuriate heaven and man."
Su Dutong waved his hand: "I just want to know how to deal with it next."
Du Lisheng is a soldier and has the most say on the war.
"The Tartar invasions have been going on for a long time and have become a regular occurrence in our western part of the town. This time Lin Feng has stirred things up again, and I'm afraid it's not a good thing."
"Oh? What do you say?"
"It's clear. We all know the Tartars' fighting power. The stability we've achieved is due to the full-scale resistance of the provincial and border troops. But if the Tartars get angry, the provincial and border troops will have no choice but to retreat again, and the provincial capital will be in danger."
Judge Chen shook his head and said, "Perhaps Lin Feng can steer the war in a positive direction."
"Tsk, he's just a young boy, how could it be possible?"
Du Lisheng sneered disdainfully.
"The Tartars have mobilized a large army to attack Lingdouzi, leaving their rear exposed. We can contact Generals Qin and Cui and take advantage of this opportunity to attack and perhaps turn the tide of the battle."
Du Lisheng shouted, "Absolutely not! This will lead us into the Tartars' treacherous trap."
"What kind of treacherous scheme is General Du talking about?"
"The Tartars mobilized their troops for no reason. There must be a reason. We should keep our troops in place. The best way to deal with all changes is to remain constant."
Chen Tongpan said with a smile: "It's hard to say for General Cui, but General Qin should be able to make a move."
Du Lisheng was stunned and looked at Su Dutong with a frown.
"Sir, we must send someone to appease General Qin."
Du Lisheng's attitude was very clear, which was to prevent the government army from taking any action so as not to affect Master Tie's attack on Lin Feng.
The two people present knew very well what he was thinking.
But he also understood it, because there was an irreconcilable hatred between Du Lisheng and Lin Feng.
Su Dutong had nothing to say, as Lin Feng had already fallen out of favor in his heart.
"Come, deliver an official letter to the border town, stating that during this turbulent time, the government troops should adopt a strategy of calm and stability to avoid falling prey to the Tartars' schemes."
Chen Tongpan could only sigh inwardly.
Lin Feng was not panicked, even though there were 20,000 Tatars attacking from three directions this time.
However, he also has more than 10,000 elite soldiers on his side.
Not to mention the 20,000 Tartar troops, even if there were 50,000, they would not be able to do anything to him.
The reason why they are called elite soldiers is that they have been focusing on training since they were incorporated into the team.
I remind all the generals all the time that we are surrounded by powerful enemies and if we relax even a little, we will be in great danger.
Fortunately, the generals under his command are dedicated and have strong execution capabilities.
For this fertile land and for their own safety.
Almost all the soldiers' land and homes were settled here.
In order to protect their homes, no one is willing to slack off.
What makes Lin Feng even more relieved is that the second-generation crossbow developed under his leadership has begun mass production.
The second-generation crossbow is much smaller than the first-generation one, making it more convenient to carry.
The crossbow arrows are also two inches shorter, and the various components and arrowheads are made of the latest steel, which enhances the penetrating power.
Both accuracy and shooting speed have been greatly improved.
The biggest improvement of the second-generation crossbow was that Lin Feng designed a double string and two quivers, each holding eight crossbow arrows.
It can be fired in turns and winding the gun is more convenient and quick.
Pull back hard to release the upper bowstring, and then push forward to release the lower bowstring.
Repeated pushing and pulling doubles the winding speed.
This second generation of crossbows had 2,100 units produced in the first phase. The crossbows were engraved with numbers corresponding to the names of the users.
After registration, the responsibility for safe use and storage will be placed on every soldier.
In addition, Lin Qiaomei's long-range attack team has a total of 1,500 people.
All replaced with compound bows and armor-piercing arrows.
Not only is the range longer, but the penetration power is more than doubled.
The arrowhead is in a triangular shape, and Lin Feng made the three lower ends movable.
Once it penetrates the human body, the three ridges will tilt up at the rear end, making it impossible to pull it out of the body.
A larger wound must be made to remove the arrowhead.
If a person is hit by such an arrowhead, he will be disabled if not killed.
Originally, Lin Feng was thinking of finding an opportunity to conduct an offensive test.
Unexpectedly, the Tatars had already launched a large-scale attack.
Lin Feng ordered his men to make defensive preparations in front of the newly built city walls and trenches.
The Lingdouzi expansion project was carried out in the order of first the outside and then the inside.
After thousands of laborers worked hard, the outer wall of the castle was basically completed.
The newly built city wall is comparable to that of a border town.
Nearly 10,000 soldiers were stationed between the new city and the old city. The area was wide and flat, transportation was convenient and fast, and there were sufficient defensive weapons and tools.
Lin Feng stood on the newly built city wall, overlooking the wilderness in the distance.
Be ambitious for a while.
A group of generals stood behind him.
Hu Jincai squeezed in front of Lin Feng and looked at the fields in the distance.
"Boss, the arrival of these Tartars has delayed our farming."
Lin Feng was helpless about this as a large number of Tatars were attacking.
We can only defend against the enemy first, and we can talk about farming later.
"Farming, then we can expand to a larger territory. After we defeat the Tartars, there will be plenty of land for us to farm."
Zhang Changyou smiled and said, "Boss is right. We're worried that there will be too much land and you, Old Hu, won't be able to farm it all."
"I can't grow enough crops, but I can rent it out. The rent is lower, so why worry about not being able to rent it out?"
Bai Jing looked around and said, "There's so much land and so few people, it's really hard to rent it out."
Lin Feng glanced at her and suddenly remembered.
"How are the benefits I gave you going?"
Bai Jing asked doubtfully, "What benefits, brother?"
"The Tartars sent ten beauties. I'm not telling the single generals to find wives."
Hu Jincai laughed and said, "Boss, you're still worried about this. They've already swarmed over here, each one like a bull in heat."
Bai Jing frowned when she heard him speak so vulgarly.
Lin Feng said seriously, "I repeat, the woman's consent is required. Those who already have wives are not allowed to marry again. Listen up, you guys, you are not allowed to take concubines."
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Give priority to those generals who have houses and land in the local area and have made great achievements."
Li Donglai scratched his head and asked, "Boss, I went to pick one out. I wonder if it will work?"
"Of course you can choose first, as long as the girl is willing."
"Hehe, the boss loves me the most."
Hu Jincai asked loudly: "Old Li, when will we have your wedding wine?"
"Hehe, we'll have the wedding after we defeat the Tartars."
After saying that, he moved closer to Lin Feng.
"Boss, can you be the officiant of my wedding?"
Lin Feng smiled and said, "If I don't go, who else will?"
"Hahaha..."
"Yes."
"it is good!"
"I'll have to give Old Li a good drink then."
"It's necessary. If he doesn't drink enough, he won't be allowed to enter the bridal chamber."
"Hahaha..."
There was laughter on the city wall.
Lin Feng's face straightened. "Alright, let's talk about this after the battle. Now, Wang Qian will guard the north gate, Zhang Changyou will guard the west gate, Li Donglai will guard the east gate, and Hu Jincai will guard the south gate. Each of you will guard the gate well. If there are any mistakes, you will be held accountable."
"Yes, boss!"
The four people answered loudly in unison.
"Lin Qiaomei is responsible for mobile defense and long-range assistance."
"Don't worry, brother."
"Have the engineers clean up the fortifications and check if there's anything missing. Try to get the work done as soon as possible."
After everyone agreed, they ran to their assigned positions.
