Chapter 24 The Northern Barbarians' Counterattack!
Lin Feng pointed to the seized grain trucks and gave the order.
"Take all usable weaponry from the vehicle, take only enough food, and burn the rest on the spot!"
"Don't waste the horses. Take them all to the valley to graze, and take them with you when we leave!"
According to the rules, Zhuang Yan, as a centurion, was Lin Feng's superior, and the seized supplies should have been disposed of by him.
However, Lin Feng directly overstepped his authority and issued the order, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face to Zhuang Yan in public.
Unfortunately, Zhuang Yan was in the wrong and could only swallow his anger.
He glared fiercely at Lin Feng's retreating figure, tossed the bloodied head aside, and waved his hand dismissively: "Let's go!"
Throughout the entire Elephant Trunk Mountain area, ambushes targeting the Northern Barbarian grain transport teams never ceased.
On the very first day, the Daqian army intercepted six grain transport teams.
Such frequent attacks naturally did not escape the notice of the Northern Barbarians.
That evening, Lü Zheng summoned all the centurions and squad leaders of the army and issued orders to adjust the battle strategy.
The first day's attack relied on surprise; the northern barbarians were caught completely off guard, allowing our side to win six battles in a row and reap a great harvest.
However, starting from the second day, they will inevitably face a large-scale encirclement and suppression by the Northern Barbarians.
Lu Zheng's strategy was not complicated. Before the main force of the Northern Barbarians arrived, he would use the mountainous terrain to ambush the Northern Barbarian soldiers who entered the mountains the next day, and focus on attacking the grain transport team.
Small groups of Northern Barbarian soldiers who came specifically to suppress them must be annihilated with all their might, and their manpower must be severely damaged.
If you encounter a large enemy force, you should decide what to do based on the situation. If you cannot match them, you should temporarily avoid their attacks.
Of course, if a large number of grain transport teams appear, Lü Zheng will stop them at all costs!
At the hour of Xu (7-9 PM) that night, Lin Feng and his soldiers sat around a campfire to keep warm.
Young soldier Li Ke held a tattered booklet and reported to Lin Feng word by word on the day's captured supplies.
"Thirty-six jars of wine, twenty sets of leather armor, twenty long swords of the Northern Barbarian style, and ten old horses for hauling goods."
Li Ke was literate and a rare "literati" under Lin Feng's command, so the task of recording the battle results fell to him.
Wang Dahu, carrying a half-empty jar of wine, took a sip and said, "The Northern barbarians' wine is really strong! Xiaofeng, can we share the rest?"
Wang Dahu was a heavy drinker; he couldn't resist good wine.
"That won't do!"
Lin Feng poked at the firewood in the campfire, and the flames instantly leaped up: "Godfather, I have a great use for the remaining thirty jars of wine. They could save my life in a critical moment."
Zhang Ergou patted Wang Dahu on the shoulder: "Dahu, you can't go wrong listening to Xiaofeng. He's smarter than us."
Then, his tone shifted, becoming serious: "But that bastard Zhuang Yan is up to no good! Xiao Feng, we need to be extra careful!"
Lin Feng had already warned Zhuang Yan about his actions today.
If Zhuang Yan is sensible, it would be best for both sides to maintain the status quo.
But if he remains obstinate, Raymond Lam will certainly not show any mercy.
"Don't worry, Uncle Er Gou, I know what I'm doing."
Lin Feng smiled and turned to Wang Tu, instructing, "Wang Tu, take two men and deliver two jars of wine to Brother Du's place, along with five sets of leather armor."
Of all the squad leaders under Zhuang Yan, only Du Song had goodwill towards Lin Feng and even tried to help him today.
Lin Feng has always been grateful and repays kindness. The alcohol can keep him warm and boost morale, and the brand-new leather armor is an important item for survival, especially precious in the current situation.
"Okay!"
Wang Tu immediately agreed and called two men to walk towards the place where the spoils of war were piled up...
At the same time, inside a small cave.
Zhuang Yan's face was gloomy, and he didn't say a word.
Chen Shan and Zhuang Yan's confidants were standing around, complaining amongst themselves.
"That Lin fellow is too arrogant! He took all the spoils of war for himself, completely disregarding the adults!"
"Exactly! I heard he still has quite a bit of fine wine, and instead of handing it over, he's enjoying it himself. This is a blatant violation of military discipline!"
"Sir, this matter cannot be left like this! We must teach him a lesson and let him know who's in charge here!"
……
"That's enough!"
Zhuang Yan abruptly stopped the crowd's discussion, his eyes turning sinister: "Lin Feng only killed a few Northern Barbarians, and he thinks he's invincible?"
"Heh, he's still very green!"
A ruthless glint appeared on Zhuang Yan's face: "Today's skirmish is just a small-scale operation. The real test will be when the Northern Barbarians invade the mountains and wipe us out!"
"Listen up, all of you! Tomorrow, obey my orders completely. I refuse to believe we can't kill him! Get closer..."
Chen Shan and the others immediately gathered around, holding their breath to listen to Zhuang Yan's plan.
After Zhuang Yan finished speaking, Chen Shan was the first to flatter him: "Brilliant! Your plan is truly ingenious, sir. No matter how capable Lin Feng is, he will absolutely not escape your grasp!"
Others echoed his sentiments, showering him with praise.
Amidst the praise from the crowd, Zhuang Yan couldn't help but feel a little smug.
"Hahahaha! Once that Lin fellow is dead, all his military merits and supplies will be yours!"
"Follow me, and you will never be treated unfairly!"
……
Lu Zheng had already anticipated that the Northern Barbarians would attack the next day, but he did not expect them to arrive so quickly.
Before dawn, the first batch of Northern Barbarian soldiers had already arrived near Elephant Trunk Mountain from the north.
The main force of the Northern Barbarians was tied down outside Zhenyuan City, while the troops responsible for transporting grain and guarding the captured cities were all second-line troops.
Among the survivors of the grain transport teams who had previously managed to escape, some fled south while others turned back north.
After news of the attack on the fleeing Northern Barbarian soldiers reached the north, the Northern Barbarian second-line forces immediately dispatched a team of 800 men to enter Elephant Trunk Mountain overnight to wipe out the Daqian army.
Seeing this, Lü Zheng decisively gathered his troops and ambushed the Northern Barbarian army in the northern part of Elephant Trunk Mountain.
This battle was a great victory, with more than 600 people beheaded and only less than 200 Northern Barbarian soldiers escaping from Elephant Trunk Mountain.
This victory directly deterred the Northern Barbarian grain transport teams from venturing into the mountains again, and the Northern Barbarians' vital supply line was completely cut off!
That afternoon, at the southern foot of Elephant Trunk Hill.
A large army of northern barbarians marched into the mountains, numbering over three thousand, with impeccable military bearing and gleaming armor.
The leading officer was clad in heavy black armor, his face resolute and chiseled, and he rode a magnificent, pure black steed.
Most notably, two of his bodyguards were carrying a broadsword with an exaggerated design.
This sword is 1.5 meters long and more than a hand's width at its widest point. It is shaped like the elongated ribs of a giant beast, and its edges are covered with ice crystal-like cracks.
The blade is not a typical flat shape, but has been shaped into giant teeth.
A series of fierce, curved notches and sharp, protruding teeth are arranged alternately, resembling the fangs and giant teeth of a ferocious beast.
This sword is very famous and is called "Wolf Fang Broadsword".
Among military generals, those who can wield such a broadsword are all fierce warriors who have killed countless people on the battlefield.
This is the case with the Xuanjia general.
His name is Baoyin, which means "good fortune" in the ancient language of the Northern Barbarians.
Although Ke Baoyin's name sounds gentle, he is actually bloodthirsty and cruel, and has been disobeying military orders and killing innocent people for many years.
Therefore, despite his numerous military achievements, he remained only the top deputy general under Getu for many years.
"General, Elephant Trunk Hill is just ahead!"
A guard gestured cautiously, saying, "The Han Chinese are cunning; they've ambushed several of our supply convoys. Do you think we should halt our march and send spies into the mountains to investigate?"
Bao Yin raised her hand to shield her brow, gazing at the lush Elephant Trunk Hill ahead, and scoffed disdainfully, "A mere remnant of the Qian army dares to make this general halt his march?"
"Indian!"
As Bao Yin's booming voice rang out, a man spurred his horse forward from the back of the group.
The man's skin was tanned dark and reddish from the wind and sun. He was not wearing the standard armor of the Northern Barbarian Army, but rather a suit of animal skins, with a glossy eagle perched on his shoulder.
"General!"
Ah San reined in his horse, dismounted, and bowed respectfully.
"You told me before that your fledgling eagle could track prey in the mountains; now, it's time for you to prove yourself!"
As she spoke, Baoyin raised her hand and pointed to the enormous Elephant Trunk Hill.
Without hesitation, the Indian man reached out and stroked the eagle's head twice, then took out a piece of raw meat and tossed it into the air.
"call--"
The eagle spread its wings and soared into the sky, snatched the raw meat in its mouth and swallowed it whole.
The eagle soars high in the sky, taking in a panoramic view of half of Elephant Trunk Hill.
The Daqian army in the mountains was completely unaware of this; their tracks were being firmly locked onto by this eagle!
