There were quite a few Northern Barbarian troops lying in ambush here. After observation, Liu Feng found that there were at least five hundred of them.
But more than half of them were consumed in the first wave of short spears. With the cavalry's charge, with the broadsword in hand, I felt I had everything I needed.
One round of charge killed no less than a hundred people.
As for the rest, there were all kinds of people, some were knocked away by horses, some were trampled to death by horses.
Not far away, Zhong Limei, who was watching Liu Feng's cavalry display their might, was searching for Liu Feng's position with his eyes.
What's going on? Why haven't you given me the order to go out? He was already itching to do something.
If this continues, all these northern barbarians will be killed by him, and he and the Fengling Army will have no choice but to watch.
He never expected that Liu Feng's cavalry, which had only been on horseback for a few days, would have such terrifying combat effectiveness.
Basically, each of them is worth ten of their own. Although the cavalrymen under his command are experienced in battle, they are still no match for Liu Feng's three hundred men.
As for Liu Feng, he was strolling in the woods, holding the reins, looking like he was enjoying a leisurely trip.
Doesn’t Zhongli Mei think that his cavalry doesn’t have much combat effectiveness?
Well then, let's leave all these northern barbarian archers here and let him broaden his horizons.
Liu Feng had only heard about the fighting capabilities of the northern barbarians.
Even the last time we took over the Northern Barbarians’ camp, it was a surprise attack.
Besides, these cavalrymen were barbarians, and these javelins were like fish in water in their hands. These were weapons that the cavalry of Dali had never used before.
Let Zhongli Mei take a good look at how powerful his cavalry is, and let him think carefully and compare whether the Fengling Army under his command can be a match for his wolf cavalry.
In just a quarter of an hour, these northern barbarian archers were either dead or escaped.
Liu Lang and his men continued to hunt down the remaining soldiers, and Liu Feng also arrived beside Zhongli Mei at this time.
Zhongli Mei was definitely a role model of obedience, and he just stood there without moving.
At this time, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes when he looked at Liu Feng, but also anger.
"Master Liu, where are your orders?"
Liu Feng waved his hand.
"I'm sorry."
"I was so focused on killing the enemy that I forgot about this."
"Then I thought about asking you to lead your men to stop the remaining troops, but then I changed my mind and realized that I'm just a village chief. If I give orders to a third-rank imperial general like you, you'll definitely be unhappy."
"So there's no need to trouble General Zhong. I'll personally lead the troops to clear the way for General Zhong."
Zhongli Mei was stunned at first, then became serious when he saw Liu Feng's smiling face.
After being sarcastically criticized by Liu Feng, he realized that he was narrow-minded.
"Brother Liu, this..."
Zhongli Mei's expression was a little awkward, and he bowed.
"That's just my petty mind."
Liu Feng chuckled.
"It's a small matter, General Zhong. There must be Northern Barbarian cavalry ahead. The credit goes to General Zhong."
"I'm not the kind of person who only seeks credit. I can't prevent General Zhong from making contributions along the way, right?"
Although his tone was still somewhat sarcastic, Zhong Limei already knew that Liu Feng was not a simple person. Not only did his face not change, but he apologized to Liu Feng seriously again.
"Brother Liu, it was I, Zhongli Mei, who was wrong."
"This time, in order to defeat the Northern Barbarians, Zhongli Mei begs the six brothers to take action."
"Let's move forward together and destroy this group of northern barbarian cavalry."
"If there are any casualties, our Fengling Army will definitely treat the families of Brother Liu's cavalry well."
"General Zhong, that's right."
Liu Feng laughed heartily, very satisfied.
Seeing that Liu Feng didn't bother with him anymore, Zhongli Mei felt relieved. The two of them began to send people to clean up the battlefield and collect weapons and arrows.
Then he led his troops to fight.
Not long after they continued forward, they encountered a group of Northern Barbarian cavalry that had been aware of them for a long time.
The other side is not large in number, only a hundred or so. Since we have met them, we should take them all down.
After the two battles, Liu Lang and his cavalry were basically unscathed, and those who were injured only had a few scratches.
After that, the journey was smooth, but the scouts sent by Liu Lang reported that while they were marching, a cavalry of about 500 people followed them for a long time, but did not take any action.
Liu Feng chuckled and ordered Liu Lang that as long as he did not take the initiative to attack, he should ignore him.
Why? The most important thing right now is to transport twelve crossbows back to the Fengling Army camp.
After Liu Feng and Zhong Limei discussed it, they decided to speed up. There was no other way, the journey was too unsafe.
Under the two men's ruthless orders, everyone rode non-stop, each carrying a torch at night, and marched quickly, finally arriving at Tianyong City after dawn.
After telling Linghu Zheng about the situation on the road, the two hurried to the Fengling Army camp.
He put down the twelve crossbows and headed straight for the central army tent.
After Zhongli Mei entered the tent, he knelt down and presented the emperor's handwritten edict.
"General, I am guilty."
Linghu Xiaoshan was a little surprised to see Liu Feng coming together, and then Zhongli Mei apologized, which made Linghu Xiaoshan a little confused.
He didn't have time to read the imperial edict from Emperor Shunde in his hand, let alone talk to Liu Feng. He immediately looked at Zhongli Meiwen.
"General Zhong, you successfully brought back the crossbow, which is a great achievement. What crime have you committed?"
"My subordinates committed a crime of negligence."
Then he looked at Liu Feng and told him everything he had seen along the way.
It was actually an exaggeration by Zhongli Mei to say that it was carelessness, but it was true that Gang Kai was arrogant and looked down on Liu Feng and his cavalry, and because of this, he almost missed the big opportunity.
This Zhongli Mei is a real man.
If he didn't tell her these things, how would Linghu Xiaoshan know?
Liu Feng gave Zhong Limei a thumbs up in his heart. As expected, these four generals Feng Lin Huoshan were not ordinary people.
After hearing this, Linghu Xiaoshan frowned.
"Alright, although you are guilty, your actions are excusable. However, our Fengling Army has strict military laws. When you leave, go to the law enforcement captain and receive fifty lashes."
"And deduct one month's salary."
After dealing with Zhongli Mei, Linghu Xiaoshan's gaze fell on Liu Feng, and his gaze was softer than before.
"Liu Feng, are the wild cavalry under your command really so brave and invincible?"
"And the fighting method Zhongli Mei mentioned is unique. They threw the short spears in their hands? Did you develop this yourself? Can you demonstrate it to me?"
"Oh, by the way, how many casualties did you suffer along the way?"
"Thank you, General, for your concern. There are no casualties."
Liu Feng nodded slightly.
Linghu Xiaoshan is really something. She asked so many questions at once. Which one should he answer first?
Seeing that Liu Feng was smiling but didn't say anything, he realized that he had lost his composure and immediately smiled slightly.
"There's no rush for these things. Let's first take a look at the treasures that Lord Liu has prepared."
Zhongli Mei was also very curious about Liu Feng's bed crossbow.
He quickly stood up, opened the curtain of the tent, and led the way out.
