Kill the enemy and get a wife? I'll single-handedly slaughter my way through the Northern Barba

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

The dull, thunderous sound of drums shattered the tranquility of Zhenyuan City in the early morning.

North of Zhenyuan City, the Northern Barbarian army camp, which had been silent for several days, was suddenly awakened by the drumbeats, like a lurking beast.

Tens of thousands of Northern Barbarian soldiers surged out of the camp and quickly formed a neat military formation outside the camp.

"Squeak—squeak—"

Amidst the ear-piercing scraping sounds, catapults, battering rams, siege towers, and siege ladders were successively pushed out of the military camp.

Compared to the previous attack, the Northern Barbarian army's weaponry is more complete, especially their nest carts.

The chariot was 35 feet tall, with a heavy chassis made of pure iron and inlaid with wheels.

The soldiers pulled and pushed, slowly moving towards Zhenyuan City.

From a distance, it looks like a towering pavilion suspended in mid-air.

The top of the nest car is a square watchtower, which is covered and protected by thick wooden planks and tough leather.

Two Northern Barbarian soldiers were hidden inside the building. One was watching the city walls and the movements inside the city, while the other used flag signals to transmit the intelligence he had gathered in real time.

The drumbeats grew increasingly rapid and intense as the Northern Barbarian army pressed forward relentlessly, advancing towards the walls of Zhenyuan City.

In the northeast corner of Zhenyuan City, Lin Feng held a hard bow, with two heavy bags of armor-piercing arrows standing beside him.

Among the garrison of Zhenyuan, there were very few archers who could fully unleash the power of the hard bow and armor-piercing arrows.

With Zhang Liao's special approval, all armor-piercing arrows were allocated to Lin Feng for his use.

He can use as many as the Ordnance Department manufactures and sends.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

The three deep, powerful drumbeats abruptly ceased, and the Northern Barbarian army officially launched its attack on the city.

Wang Dahu wiped the long sword at his waist and spat out a mouthful of saliva.

"You sons of bitches, you barbarian barbarians, come on then!"

"If one comes, I'll kill it; if two come, I'll cut them both down!"

"You all better be on your guard! I don't want to see any of you lying here before sunset!"

Now that he has soldiers under his command and has become a squad leader, his demeanor is completely different from before.

Zhang Ergou's motivational methods have a touch of street smarts.

He patted his money pouch and shouted to his soldiers, "You've all heard of the brothel in town, haven't you? I'm a regular customer there!"

"Kill more Tartars and accumulate more battle merits, and tonight when you get to the brothel, I guarantee you'll all have beautiful women to keep you company!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers were immediately filled with fighting spirit.

"Okay! Sergeant Zhang, I...I want a fresh-faced one!"

"You haven't even killed any enemies yet, and you're already thinking about women?"

"Shh! He's still a virgin! Hahahaha!"

A burst of laughter erupted from the city wall, and the tense atmosphere before the battle dissipated considerably.

Lin Feng's lips curled slightly. Listening to the crowd's teasing, he took a deep breath and warned in a low voice, "Be careful! The Northern Barbarians' catapults are coming!"

The catapult had a range of two hundred paces, and before Lin Feng appeared, no one in Zhenyuan City could reach that distance.

Not to mention destroying the catapults.

Wang Tu peeked out from between the arrow stalks and suddenly exclaimed softly, "My lord, the Northern Barbarians' catapults seem different from before."

Lin Feng nodded slightly, his gaze sharp: "They nailed leather and wooden boards to the key parts of the catapult to protect the core."

It seems the Northern Barbarians have learned from their previous experience and are afraid that this sharpshooter will once again display his prowess.

Wang Tu grinned secretly, his tone urgent: "Sir, what do we do?"

Lin Feng slowly drew his bow and nocked an arrow, his voice steady and powerful: "Follow the training! Fire as you've been told. Leave the catapults to me!"

With his words, Wang Tu and the others immediately felt relieved.

In the blink of an eye, the first wave of Northern Barbarian troops rushed within a hundred paces.

Wang Dahu, Zhang Ergou, and the others shouted at the top of their lungs, "Archers, prepare!"

The soldiers all drew their bowstrings taut, waiting for the squad leader's order to release the arrows.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Arrows pierced the sky, whistling sharply as they hurtled towards the city.

The northern barbarian soldiers quickly raised their shields, the crisp "thud thud thud" sound ringing out incessantly.

Most of the arrows were deflected, with only a few unlucky ones unable to dodge them.

After being hit by an arrow and falling to the ground, he immediately became a target for subsequent arrows, and was shot into a hedgehog in an instant.

Lin Feng's target was never the ordinary soldiers; his gaze was fixed on the Northern Barbarian soldiers escorting the siege ladder.

The moment the soldiers revealed themselves, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and pulled the bowstring to its full length.

"Whoosh!"

The armor-piercing arrow shot through the air and arrived in front of the soldiers in just a few breaths.

The soldier at the front heard the shrill whistle in the air, and the moment he looked up, his expression changed drastically.

The armor-piercing arrow was more than three times thicker than an ordinary arrow, and it rushed straight towards them with a fierce momentum!

"Snap!"

The shield shattered instantly, and the armor-piercing arrow, still powerful, pierced the soldier's chest.

The unfortunate man behind him was also pierced through, and both of them fell to the ground and died.

"It's an armor-piercing arrow!"

Upon seeing this, the northern barbarian soldiers were all filled with fear, as if they had encountered a plague god.

"Quickly report to the adults!"

The squad leader shouted urgently, gritted his teeth, and led his troops to the front.

The Northern Barbarians had strict military discipline, and their mission was to escort the cloud ladders closer to the city walls.

If they hesitated even slightly, they would not only be killed on the spot by the supervisory team, but their family members far away in the north would also be implicated and punished.

"Whoosh!"

Another armor-piercing arrow came flying, hitting the squad leader squarely in the head.

Red and white matter instantly flew out, killing several soldiers behind him as well.

Even so, not a single one of the remaining Northern Barbarian soldiers retreated; they all charged forward, risking their lives.

Lin Feng remained expressionless as he fired six armor-piercing arrows in quick succession.

The entire group of northern barbarian soldiers escorting the cloud ladder were shot dead by him!

"Your Excellency is mighty!"

"Your archery skills are unparalleled!"

"Lord Lin is invincible!"

The new recruits who had just joined Lin Feng's command cheered with joy upon seeing this.

The morale of the defending troops instantly soared to its peak!

However, before Lin Feng could catch his breath, another group of Northern Barbarian soldiers carrying ladders surged forward, only to be annihilated by his arrows without missing a single one.

Less than half an hour into the battle, the number of Northern Barbarian soldiers who had fallen to Lin Feng's arrows had increased to thirty-eight!

"You dare to come again?"

Seeing another group of Northern Barbarian soldiers emerge, carrying ladders and continuing their advance, Lin Feng's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

But the next moment, another group of Northern Barbarian soldiers quietly appeared, providing cover for the ladder troops.

The shields they held were not ordinary wooden shields made of fur and planks, but solid iron shields!

The northern barbarian soldiers concealed their vital points behind iron shields and charged forward at top speed.

Lin Feng aimed at the person at the very front and suddenly released the arrow!

The arrow deliberately avoided the iron shield, precisely piercing the man's thigh and pinning him firmly to the spot!

"what!"

The northern barbarian soldier cried out in pain, yet he still gripped his iron shield tightly, refusing to let go to protect his upper body.

Lin Feng fired two more armor-piercing arrows, but the iron shield's protection far surpassed that of the wooden shield, making it difficult for him to break through, and his lethality immediately weakened.

"These Tartars do have some brains."

Lin Feng instantly saw through the Northern Barbarians' scheme.

They specially crafted iron shields and waited here. Once they figured out their location, they deployed iron shield soldiers for targeted defense.

The Northern Barbarians were able to conquer cities and fortresses all the way to Zhenyuan City, which shows they were quite capable and had an extremely fast response time!

"boom!"

A huge rock crashed down on the city wall in the distance, sending debris flying. The catapult bombardment of the city wall had officially begun.

Seeing this, Lin Feng immediately shifted his attack focus to the catapults.

Two hundred paces outside the northeast corner of the city, five catapults had already been set up.

"Think you can protect it by wrapping it in wood planks and leather? Dream on!"

Lin Feng locked onto one of the planes, nocked an arrow, and fired.

"Whoosh!"

The armor-piercing arrow shot out like a meteor, piercing through the wooden planks and leather covering the winch and hitting the core component.

"Snap!"

The winch exploded, and the catapult was immediately rendered unusable.

The boulder, which had already been thrown into the air, fell uncontrollably, crashing into the interior of the Northern Barbarian army formation and causing chaos.

Having succeeded with his first strike, Lin Feng immediately set his sights on the second catapult.

He suddenly stood up, using the space between the two arrow emplacements as leverage to fire an armor-piercing arrow that shot out like a rainbow piercing the sun!

But just then, a sharp whooshing sound suddenly approached.

Lin Feng's pupils contracted slightly. Just as he released the arrow, an arrow gleaming with an eerie blood-red light was hurtling toward him!

Lin Feng's muscles tensed instantly, and he instinctively took a small half-step to the side.

"Whoosh!"

The blood-red arrow whistled past his helmet, leaving a deep dent.

The force was terrifying!

In the distance, Lin Feng's armor-piercing arrow struck the catapult's launching arm, but failed to completely destroy it.

The blood-red arrow was already deeply embedded more than two inches into the city wall behind them.

Lin Feng frowned, bent down and quickly stepped forward to pull out the blood-red arrow.

On the side of the arrow shaft, two small characters are clearly engraved: Blood Edge!
