Chapter 134 This is a big job
Wei Zhen came over and said, "Lin Feng, why don't you let me do this job?"
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Your soldiers have only participated in training and have never attacked the Tartars alone. Without my supervision, I'm afraid something might go wrong."
Wei Zhen wanted to argue, but he opened his mouth and said nothing.
Seeing that Qin Fang's team had gathered and was rushing out of the camp.
"Lin Feng, it would be fine if I could let a few of my leaders come and observe."
"That's no problem, go ahead and have a look."
Wei Zhen then turned around and gave orders to his own troops. He picked out four or five leaders, mounted their horses and ran away with the large group of people.
As soon as we set out here, seven or eight war horses came running from the other direction.
"Report, General, there are nearly fifty Tartar cavalrymen and seven carriages one hundred and twenty miles due east."
Lin Feng licked his lips.
"Hey, this is a big job."
When Wei Zhen heard the news, he was excited and a little nervous.
A team of fifty Tartars was quite impressive, even though the team in front of him had a lot of people.
But if we take on fifty Tatars, it would probably cause great damage.
Lin Feng waved to several generals to come over.
He was drawing on the ground with a stick.
"Li Donglai, you lead the charge head-on. Lin Qiaomei will be on the left, General Wei will be on the right. Try to keep as much distance as possible between them. Is there any problem?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Okay, if there are no problems, let's move. Remember, don't use the sharp arrow formation. It's best to use the matrix forward charge. The front row of crossbows only fire one round, and immediately have the back row soldiers make up for it."
Wei Zhen asked in confusion, "Why? Wouldn't charging like this slow down our speed?"
Lin Feng nodded: "The speed will be slower, but it will reduce casualties and more effectively annihilate the Tartars."
"Okay, got it."
"Okay, let's go."
Everyone immediately gathered their own teams, mounted their horses, and followed the cavalry to the east.
This time Lin Feng was not walking in the front, but was at the back.
As the supreme commander of an army, you cannot rush forward in everything and must be responsible for the safety of all troops.
Moreover, all the teams are very familiar with several offensive formations during their daily training.
There is no need to take them to internship anymore.
As it was daytime, the cavalry moved very quickly.
It was a distance of 120 miles, but they arrived at their destination in less than half a day.
When they saw the Tatar chariot team in the distance, the three teams immediately separated.
According to the plan, they divided into three directions: left, middle and right and rushed forward.
Fifty Tartars were escorting seven carriages towards their camp when they suddenly saw a large group of cavalry rushing towards them.
Several armored Tartar leaders were not panicked.
Seeing that the enemy's cavalry had only a few hundred people, they did not pose much threat to him.
It’s just strange that such a large army would take the initiative to attack him.
This was a rare occurrence in the past.
Based on the enemy situation, the armored Tatar leader quickly divided the fifty cavalry into three groups, each to meet the enemy.
When the two sides were more than fifty steps apart, the horses had already reached their maximum speed.
Lin Feng immediately stood on a slightly higher slope and watched the battle situation.
Lin Qiaomei's left wing rushed to the front, more than ten steps ahead of the other two teams.
And this woman was the one rushing to the front, looking fearless.
Lin Feng was also very surprised. Logically, since she was a bandit and wiped out her husband's entire family, she should have no hatred left.
Why are you fighting with the Tartars again?
Looking at the way they are charging, it's like they are mortal enemies.
Soon, the two sides approached to within thirty steps, and the power of the rectangular formation began to show.
The front row of thirty soldiers shot the crossbows that had been strung long ago, then controlled their horses slightly to let the second row of soldiers behind them advance to the front.
After raising his hand and shooting the crossbow arrow, the third row followed.
This formation is not focused on charging, but on effectively killing the enemy in advance when engaging them.
The effect was remarkable. After three rounds of crossbow shots, only a few of the dozen or so Tatars on the opposite side were still able to sit on their horses.
There were only seven or eight Tatars left to fight against Lin Qiaomei's team.
Lin Qiaomei had already rushed into their cavalry with a knife in hand.
The two sides collided, and the Tartars were too few in number.
In an instant, it was submerged in the torrent and disappeared.
Master Tie was very ruthless. Facing a team several times larger than his own, almost no one escaped.
Lin Feng thought that their ruthlessness must have been cultivated by the border troops.
The battle was over in just a dozen breaths.
The next step is to clean up the battlefield and count the losses and captured supplies.
There were seven carriages, and the drivers were all ordinary people.
They were so frightened that they crawled under the carriage, holding their heads and trembling.
The spoils this time were good, with seven carts of food and fodder, only one of which was less than half full, and the others were fully loaded.
According to statistics, a total of 51 Tatars were killed, including 7 armored soldiers and 44 unarmed soldiers.
Lin Feng's three teams suffered nineteen injuries and three deaths.
This battle report data made Wei Zhen squat on the ground and look at it for a long time.
If he had not personally participated in the battle, he would never have believed that there would be such an outcome.
Of the 300 cavalrymen led by Wei Zhen, only three were injured and one died.
He raised his confused eyes and looked around for Lin Feng.
When I saw the man standing on the slope in the distance, I couldn't take my eyes off him for a long time.
Wei Zhen spent half his life in the military and made outstanding military achievements. He was promoted to General of Cavalry, second only to General Cui Yong.
However, since the invasion of the Tartars, the border troops have suffered successive defeats and have been completely routed.
In the end, they could only stay in the camp and not go out.
Until now, he still felt like he was living in a dream and couldn't recover for a long time.
During this battle, Lin Qiaomei was stabbed by the Tartars and injured in the arm.
Fortunately, the armor took away most of the force from her.
But she still couldn't lift her arms. The Tartars were too strong, and the petite Lin Qiaomei just liked to fight with them.
If the soldiers behind her had not rushed up and shot the Tartars with crossbows.
I'm afraid he would be knocked off his horse by the Tartars' knives and trampled to death by the war horses.
Fighting with the Tartars on horseback with swords is still the shortcoming of Lin Feng's team, and they are far behind them.
This cannot be blamed on others. She did not fight according to Lin Feng's orders, ignored her own shortcomings, and rushed forward too aggressively.
Lin Feng also fully understood the helplessness of Wang Qian and Hu Jincai at that time.
Apart from blocking the arrow for her, there is really nothing I can do to help her.
On the battlefield, Lin Qiaomei was like a stubborn donkey that could not be shouted at or restrained.
Lin Feng immediately wanted to transfer this woman to logistics and let her replace Li Xiong.
But it's just a thought. Lin Qiaomei's enthusiasm can still be put to good use.
Especially on the battlefield, one must have a spirit of not caring about life.
The more you fear death, the faster you will die.
The battlefield was quickly cleaned up.
All the Tartar bodies were buried on the spot.
It was not to let them rest in peace, but mainly because Lin Feng was afraid of causing infectious diseases, so he made this rule.
There is no need for the Tartar's head, registration can be done on the spot.
He remembers clearly who made the military achievements.
He asked the civilians to drive the carriage and follow the team towards the border town.
At present, nearly ten carriages of food and fodder have been robbed. If the Qin side does not make any mistakes, the harvest will be thirteen and a half carriages.
Lin Feng has completed more than half of General Qin's mission.
This also made Wei Zhen shake his head and sigh.
There are officers who can carry out missions like this. Following Lin Feng on this trip was really an eye-opener.
A cavalry of several hundred people moved quickly.
The meeting place has been planned.
Because Qin Fang was very familiar with the area around the border town, he drew the map and designated the location.
As it got dark, Lin Feng asked the cavalry to find a suitable place to camp.
The troops set up camp before dark.
Just after the hour of You, Qin Fang also rushed back to the gathering point with three carriages.
He looked a little tired, but also full of excitement.
For the first time, he independently commanded a team to fight against the Tatars and won a great victory.
Fifteen enemies were killed, seven were wounded, and five died.
Using Lin Feng's fighting style, he tasted the sweetness and refreshing taste firsthand.
When he saw Lin Feng again, his eyes were full of admiration.
