Chapter 170 It’s easy if it’s just a person
Bai Jing didn't dare to disturb his thoughts, so when she saw him speak, she asked hurriedly.
"What kind of person is he?"
Lin Feng looked bewildered: "I didn't see anything."
"what?"
"It's strange. If it's a person, how can I not see it?"
Even Lin Feng himself was shocked and carefully recalled the entire assassination process.
There was indeed no trace of the other party at all.
Relying entirely on his own feelings, he swung his sword at the air for a long time.
"Since it's a person, it's easy to deal with."
Bai Jing stood up and gave an order to Fan Jinsong.
"Martial law is in effect throughout the city. Search carefully."
"Slow down, no need for martial law or search."
"Brother, why?"
"I don't know anything. What is the target of your search?"
Bai Jing fell silent.
The composition of the people in the castle was complex, and since the assassin had escaped, he would naturally change his clothes and cover up his wounds.
It is also impossible to make everyone in the city take off their clothes for inspection.
Lin Feng waved his hand: "Go get some trauma medicine and bandage me first."
Bai Jing then remembered that Lin Feng was also injured.
There was a scratch on the thigh and another scratch under the right ribs.
Only the arm was stabbed, and the wound was the deepest.
The assassin was conceited and did not apply poison to the knife.
"Block the news and don't cause panic."
Lin Feng sat on the chair and quietly let Baijing apply medicine and bandage his wounds.
He was silent, wondering how to find the killer.
You can't let this person hide by your side and attack you when you're not paying attention.
It affects my thinking too much.
Bai Jing bandaged his wound and checked carefully to make sure nothing was missed.
"Brother, you take a nap. I'll stay here."
Lin Feng was still hungover and had been tossing and turning for half the night, so he was indeed a little tired.
"Okay, I'll lie down for a while."
Unexpectedly, he had just laid down, less than half an hour later, when he heard soldiers running into the house in a hurry.
"Report, General, the Tartar army has appeared eighty miles away."
Bai Jing asked solemnly, "An army? How many soldiers are there?"
"Reporting to the general, according to the cavalry observation, the Tartar army has nearly ten thousand men."
Lin Feng sat up suddenly.
Damn, ten thousand people!
This is completely annoying.
It was already five o'clock in the morning. Lin Feng brought his men to the city gate tower and looked into the distance.
The sky was already turning white, and it was still dim and difficult to see far.
"Let everyone retreat into the city and close the gates."
"Check all defenses."
"Prepare the catapult and crossbow."
"All teams go to the city."
"Notify Qingshui Camp and the county town to prepare for defense."
Orders were issued one after another, and the soldiers who were delivering the orders were running around in a hurry.
Lin Feng remained calm and composed. Although the Tartars were numerous, the walls of Lingdouzi Castle were high and the trenches were deep.
Plus, there are enough people in the castle.
For a while, the Tartars could not do anything to him.
Zhou Tongzhi, Chen Tongpan and other officials of the Protectorate also hurriedly climbed up the city wall.
They all looked pale and gasped for breath.
I don’t know if he was still hungover or was scared by the Tartars.
"General Lin, how many Tartar troops have arrived?"
After all, Chen Tongpan was an official in charge of the army and prisons, and he knew a little about military affairs.
"According to the scouts, there are about 10,000 Tartars."
"what!"
A group of civil servants exclaimed in surprise.
Although they were not invaded by the Tartars during their stay in the Protectorate, they often heard rumors about the Tartars' ferocity.
Ten thousand troops can easily sweep away everything here.
Lin Feng also found this matter a bit strange.
Ten thousand Tartars, are they abandoning the border town and the border military camp?
After being defeated by Lin Feng, the Tartar army was reduced to less than 40,000 men.
They were divided into three parts, one part besieged the border town, with 20,000 people.
A part of them suppressed the border army camp, 10,000 people.
There were also 10,000 people in the main camp, responsible for collecting and transporting the looted supplies.
Over the past year or so, Lin Feng killed nearly five thousand Tatars.
So, now we will mobilize another 10,000 troops and come to Lingdouzi Castle.
This was complete anger, and he regarded Lin Feng as the main enemy.
Treat border towns and border military camps equally.
Lin Feng pondered the Tatars' purpose and number, as well as how to defend against them.
Of course, there are also some officials in the Protectorate who are not afraid of death.
One of the chief clerks of the Zhenxi Protectorate didn't drink much last night, but he was a big fan of poetry and songs.
He is a genuine Jinshi.
When he heard Lin Feng's drinking game, he thought it was good at first.
But the more he thought about it, the more he became obsessed, especially when he returned to the inn and lay in bed, half asleep.
Repeating these lines of poetry in his mind, he simply exclaimed that they were a stroke of genius.
If I hadn't just met Lin Feng, I would have gone to find Lin Feng to discuss it that night.
After finally making it to dawn, we heard that the Tartars were coming.
However, he was thinking about this matter and met Lin Feng on the city wall again.
Suddenly, she felt itchy and found an opportunity to get close to Lin Feng and tugged at his collar.
"General Lin, I am Xie Yunling, appointed Chief Clerk of the Protectorate."
Lin Feng was looking at the Tatar troops in the distance. When he heard the voice, he turned his head to look at the man in his thirties in front of him.
"Oh, thank you, sir. Please be patient. The Tartars can't do anything to us."
"Uh, General Lin, last night's drinking game was really great. Do you have any more lines?"
Lin Feng thought he was scared and came to him for comfort.
Who would have thought that I would discuss poetry with you at this time?
After a moment's pause, he said, "Haha, thank you, sir. It's not appropriate to think too much at this moment. We should focus on defending against the enemy. What do you think?"
"Yes, it's just that I love poetry so much that I couldn't sleep all night, and it felt like a bone stuck in my throat..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Feng started shouting loudly.
"Have the engineers bring up the fortification equipment, and have all officers above the rank of general come to me."
Just finished shouting.
Then the civil servants on the city wall exclaimed again.
Looking up, I saw a black line appearing on the distant horizon, which drew my attention.
Only then did I see clearly that a large group of Tatar cavalry were slowly advancing towards this side.
There were so many people that the civil servants almost peed their pants.
They basically knew how many soldiers were in the castle.
Just over a thousand, facing ten thousand Tartars.
There is no need to fight this battle; even a three-year-old child knows that it is a sure loss.
Obviously, it was too late to escape from the city.
If you appear in the wilderness and face the Tatar cavalry, it is better to stay in the castle and die more slowly.
The Tatar army of 10,000 people was shocking even from a distance.
As the distance shortened, the Tatar cavalry all over the mountains and plains made it difficult for people to breathe.
Leading the 10,000-man team this time is Yinjia Bilan.
He received an order from Wanyan Qingtian to withdraw 5,000 troops from the frontier army camp, plus 5,000 troops from the main camp.
All the way to Lingdouzi Castle.
No one had ever imagined that a castle that could threaten Master Tie would appear in a remote wilderness.
After urgent discussion.
In the end, Wanyan Qingtian made the final decision.
We must use thundering means to eliminate Lin Feng in Lingdouzi Castle.
Let’s put an end to the previous carelessness.
