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

Lin Feng turned his head upon hearing the sound and was instantly seized by a powerful aura.

The general on horseback was clad in gleaming armor, wearing a helmet embroidered with a lion-shaped beast, and a gleaming silver spear with a tiger's head rested against his horse's belly.

He sat upright on his horse, his posture as straight as a drawn sword, its sharpness fully revealed and unstoppable!

Is this Zhang Liao, the garrison commander of Zhenyuan City? What a powerful aura!

Lin Feng was secretly alarmed. Just as he was about to take a closer look, a virtual panel suddenly popped up in front of him, and several lines of information appeared clearly.

[Great Qian Dynasty General: Zhang Liao]

【Strength: 25】

[Agility: 20]

How could I possibly see Zhang Liao's strength attributes?

Lin Feng was shocked. Why was the system displaying his stats alone?

He originally thought that only goddesses who met certain criteria could have their attributes viewed.

After all, Wang Dahu, Zhang Ergou, and others around him never had any attribute panels displayed.

Could it be because Zhang Liao held a high position and possessed exceptional martial arts skills?

Lin Feng's mind raced, and then a surge of joy filled his heart.

This is a huge advantage!

If used properly in the future, it will allow you to anticipate the enemy's moves and gain the upper hand when you encounter tough opponents on the battlefield!

He then looked closely at Zhang Liao's strength stat: his own strength had only reached 34 points after being enhanced by the system, while this General Zhang had 25 points without any enhancement, which was truly terrifying!

but……

Lin Feng is more concerned about the agility attribute.

His agility was not enhanced; he was only slightly better than an ordinary soldier.

I wonder if further increasing Su Wan'er's favorability will grant an agility boost?

While immense strength is important on the battlefield, one cannot always defend against open or covert attacks; high agility is essential for survival.

"Greetings, General Zhang!"

Wang Dahu and Zhang Ergou quickly pulled Lin Feng along and bowed to him.

Among Zhang Liao's personal guards was Zhang Lu, the commander who had previously led his personal guard to support the southeast corner.

Zhang Liao slightly raised his hand and said in a deep voice, "No need for formalities!"

"What's your name?"

His gaze fell on Chen Shan, who was kneeling on the ground, and his tone was flat and emotionless.

"Reporting to General, I am... I am Chen Shan, the squad leader..."

Chen Shan, who had just been hurling insults at Zhang Liao, was now terrified and stammering.

"General, spare my life! I was blind and disrespectful to you, please forgive me!"

Zhang Liao leaned forward slightly, and under the shadow of his helmet, his dark, deep eyes swept over Chen Shan like cold stars.

He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a commanding presence. Years of guarding the border had etched a sense of vicissitude and ruggedness onto his face.

"Chen Shan, you promised your men ten military merits for holding the city walls, why did you break your promise?"

These seemingly casual words terrified Chen Shan, causing him to tremble uncontrollably and kowtow repeatedly, pleading, "I was foolish! I was blinded by greed! Please, General, spare my life!"

Zhang Liao glanced at the veteran of the supervising team beside him: "Pass down the order to give each soldier guarding the southeast corner breach ten merit points!"

"yes!"

The veteran bowed and accepted the order, immediately took out his merit book, and quickly wrote down his achievements.

Zhang Liao nodded slightly, then looked at Chen Shan again: "As a platoon leader, you have broken your promise and betrayed your subordinates—that is your first mistake. You also frequently speak ill of your comrades. Do you think that just because you insult me, you can bully your comrades who speak out for justice? That is your second mistake!"

He paused, then said in a deep voice, "Considering your minor merits in defending the city, and that you didn't know you were under my command, all your military merits are hereby nullified, and you are to receive fifteen strokes of the cane! If you commit another offense, you will be executed without mercy!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Shan instantly collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, his face filled with the relief of surviving a disaster.

He thought that publicly insulting the general would surely lead to his death, but unexpectedly he was able to save his life.

"Thank you for your kindness, General! Thank you for your kindness, General!"

He scrambled to his feet and kowtowed several times before obediently following the guards to receive his punishment, his expression extremely respectful.

Lin Feng watched quietly from the side, nodding to himself.

General Zhang was indeed fair in rewarding and punishing, and handled this matter perfectly.

This not only taught Chen Shan a profound lesson but also filled him with gratitude, demonstrating the demeanor of a great general.

Just as he was pondering this, Zhang Liao dismounted and walked over with steady steps.

"I have heard that a remarkable man has emerged in the army today, who has killed many of the northern barbarian Tartars."

Zhang Liao's gaze swept across the crowd, finally settling on Lin Feng. For the first time, a smile appeared on his usually cold face: "Which one is Lin Feng?"

Seeing that Lin Feng was still lost in thought, Wang Dahu quickly nudged him gently from behind: "Xiao Feng, the general is calling you!"

Lin Feng snapped out of his daze, stepped forward, and said with a respectful yet humble expression, "Lin Feng greets the General! I was just lucky enough to kill a few more Tartars than I expected, just enough to reach the hundred mark."

One hundred?!

Zhang Liao's expression instantly changed from joy to shock.

After chasing the remnants of the Northern Barbarians back, he came here specifically to meet this legendary talent, but he never expected that the other party could kill a hundred enemies in a single battle!

"Really?!" He turned to look at the veteran of the supervisory team.

The veteran nodded hurriedly, "General, I personally accompanied Lin Feng to examine the heads, and there were absolutely no omissions or misidentifications!"

"Hahaha! Great! Well done, Raymond Lam!"

Even the well-traveled Zhang Liao couldn't help but burst into laughter: "In this battle, we killed a hundred Northern Barbarians and destroyed three of their catapults! A great achievement!"

His tone shifted abruptly, and he said in a deep voice, "With your abilities, it's a waste for you to be an ordinary soldier! From today onwards, you, Lin Feng, are a platoon leader!"

He was promoted from a lowly soldier to a platoon leader in less than six months of service, a speed of promotion that is rare in the military.

Lin Feng's face lit up with joy. He knelt on one knee, performing the military ceremony for receiving an official title: "Your subordinate thanks the general for his promotion! I will certainly kill many Tartars, defend Zhenyuan City to the death, and share the general's burdens!"

Zhang Liao found Lin Feng more and more pleasing to the eye. If it weren't for the rules of the military, he would have really wanted to promote him.

After all, Lin Feng's accidental breaking of the Northern Barbarian commander's flag was the turning point in today's fierce battle.

Get up!

Zhang Liao smiled and reached out to help Lin Feng up, then unfastened the sword from his waist and handed it to him.

"Lin Feng, train hard in the army, and you will surely have a place in the Zhenyuan Army in the future!"

"This Cheng Ying sword has been with me for many years, and today I bestow it upon you, hoping you will wield it to protect your homeland and defend against the Tartars!"

Upon hearing this, the accompanying guards' eyes instantly turned red.

They knew better than anyone the value of this sword, yet the general bestowed such a treasure upon an unknown boy.

The other soldiers were also extremely envious.

Although killing a hundred people only led to a promotion to squad leader, which seemed like a low rank, the general personally bestowed upon him a sword, making this an extraordinary honor.

Clearly, they have high hopes for Lin Feng; this kid is really going to make it big!

"Lin Feng thanks General for bestowing the sword!"

Lin Feng took the sword with both hands, his gaze instantly drawn to it.

The sword guard is decorated with the head of a lion-like beast, which complements Zhang Liao's lion-shaped helmet.

The beast's mouth tightly grips the sword, and the scabbard is wrapped in black sharkskin with a circle of purple copper dragon patterns around the end of the scabbard. The overall design is solemn and dignified.

The sword is heavy in the hand; judging from its appearance alone, it is definitely not an ordinary item!

"From now on, you will be specifically responsible for guarding the southeast corner. This place is crucial to the safety of Zhenyuan City, so you must not be negligent!"

Zhang Liao was busy with military affairs, and after giving Lin Feng and the others a few words of encouragement, he mounted his horse and left.

As soon as he left, the crowd swarmed around him.

"Xiaofeng, let Uncle Ergou touch your precious sword?"

"Go away! You can't just touch the sword General Zhang bestowed upon you! Xiao Feng, let your godfather touch it!"

"We're brothers who've risked our lives for each other, what's there to argue about? Xiaofeng isn't petty, right?"

"Me too! I want to touch it too!"

……

Lin Feng was surrounded and had no choice but to hand over the Cheng Ying Sword, allowing Wang Dahu, Zhang Ergou, and the others to touch it one by one.

After registering their war merits, the group was preparing to return to the city to rest and regroup, planning to visit the brothel later in the evening, when Zhang Lu came looking for them.

Lin Feng has been promoted to squad leader and needs to replenish his troops.

A squad leader can command ten soldiers, and Zhang Lu brought twenty soldiers of good quality, allowing him to choose freely.

After selecting the recruits, Zhang Lu pulled Lin Feng aside to a secluded spot and whispered mysteriously, "Brother Lin, you're in trouble!"
