Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 1169 Observing the Stars at Night

Warhorses galloped rapidly from afar. From a distance, four warhorses kicked up a trail of dust, like a long yellow dragon, charging straight towards them.

The small squad of the Zhenkou Camp standing on the edge immediately mounted their horses, formed a counterattack formation, or drew their bows and arrows, or held their spears and watched.

At the head of the long yellow dragon, someone shouted loudly.

"Boss, there's an ambush! The pirates have an ambush..."

With a shout, Bu Yunting took the lead, rushed up the slope, and jumped off his horse when he arrived in front of Lin Feng.

I stumbled and almost fell.

Fortunately, Pei Qiyin was there to help him up, which helped him regain his balance.

"The big pirates had laid an ambush, thousands of them were lying in wait around the wharf, and we were almost trapped."

Lin Feng calmly looked at Bu Yunting, who was anxious, and noticed that his armor was somewhat disheveled, and there was even a bloody smell coming from the gaps.

"injured?"

Pei Qiyin reached out to support Bu Yunting.

"You've been shot in the back with an arrow. Lie down, I'll treat you."

Bu Yunting bent down and lay on the weeds, and everyone could see clearly that there was a broken arrow on his back, the arrowhead embedded in his shoulder area, but it did not hit any vital organs.

Of the three soldiers following Bu Yunting, one was already lying prone on his horse, with several arrows stuck in his back and the horse's rump.

The other two were not hit by arrows, but their horses were shot and managed to run back.

The soldiers immediately treated their injuries.

The bandit-suppressing camp did not need a doctor to accompany them, as everyone was capable of treating wounds.

This is a method that must be learned in the training program set by Lin Feng.

Of course, if you are seriously injured, even if you have a doctor with you, it will be useless; you will have to rely entirely on your own resistance.

They generally wouldn't survive.

After a flurry of activity, the bandit camp of the Eight Hundred Towns stood together beside their warhorses, turning their heads to look at Lin Feng on the hilltop.

They all had the same question in their minds: how did the leader know there was an ambush?

Tonight's operation was originally planned, but it was suddenly stopped by Lin Feng, which left everyone puzzled.

Now they all understood Lin Feng's intentions; it turned out that the leader had known all along that things were not going well.

But here's the question: how did he know that?

Some soldiers began to whisper among themselves.

“Last night I saw the boss observing the stars; it turns out he figured out a problem.”

"Huh? I just thought he was thinking, but I didn't realize he was looking at the stars."

"How do you know it?"

“My grandfather was a feng shui master, and he was very skilled in it. That’s why he looks like this.”

The crowd looked on with surprise and reverence. The person before them no longer seemed like their leader, but a god with a halo.

With gods on the battlefield, how could this battle possibly be lost?

Only Pei Qiyin shook her head and smiled bitterly in the dark. She knew the whole story from beginning to end and could appreciate Lin Feng's extraordinary nature even more deeply.

Although he had been appointed as the commander-in-chief of the bandit-suppressing camp, compared to Lin Feng, he was far inferior, not just by a few streets, but by...

Sigh, the gap is too big to compare. How could I compare myself to the boss?

They've overstated their own worth.

The eight hundred soldiers of the bandit camp fell silent. Only Lin Feng knew in his heart that it was a reminder from his years of battlefield experience.

It's not that there's anything particularly magical about it, but rather the importance of a cautious approach to combat and constant vigilance.

The more favorable the situation, the more careful and cautious you need to be to avoid making a big mistake.

On the battlefield, a single mistake can often lead to the entire army being trapped, with extremely serious consequences.

Lin Feng turned his head and looked at the fields in the night.

Wei Bao's cavalry is probably trapped. They don't have Bu Yunting's skills and couldn't escape, so they haven't received any battle reports.

Lin Feng sighed. Being a scout is an extremely dangerous business. Without extraordinary means, it's hard to avoid problems in the long run.

In Wei Bao's cavalry battalion, everyone was an elite, and each cavalryman who truly grew up was extremely valuable.

Every member of the Rangers is an all-rounder, someone who knows a little about everything, especially the skill of escaping, which they must be more proficient in than others.

At this moment, Lin Feng felt sorry for Wei Bao.

More than 10,000 pirate soldiers were scattered around the town of Bukou, subtly surrounding the dock.

They took up their ambush positions at dusk, keeping their eyes wide open, waiting for the next morning.

Aside from ambushing and killing two scouts from the Zhenxi Army, another group of scouts managed to escape.

The most disheartened person was not the pirate soldiers, but the leader of this army, Atsumi Akiyama.

Yes, Atsumi Akiyama personally laid an ambush at the scene; she was going to personally kill this arsonist cavalry.

She abandoned the siege of Funing City, gritting her teeth, determined to vent her anger.

In particular, she destroyed many of her most prized possessions, which were things she cherished dearly.

At this moment, watching the enemy's scouts disappear madly into the night, she felt like grinding her teeth to powder.

He gripped the knife hilt tightly with both hands, wanting to draw the knife and vent his anger, but he forcefully suppressed the resentment in his heart.

I need to change my bad temper, otherwise I'll be the one who suffers the consequences later.

He should vent his pent-up anger on the person directly responsible.

Despite the gravity of the siege, Atsumi Akiyama was determined to resolve this persistent problem.

However, this violated a major taboo in military strategy, as it confused the primary and secondary priorities.

Her location was not far from the dock. Relying on her superb martial arts skills, she only brought four bodyguards and ambushed them at a distance of about thirty feet from the dock.

Atsumi Akiyama wanted to see for himself what kind of monster had managed to burn his hundreds of warships time and time again.

As pirates, they lived on their ships year-round, and warships were their most precious treasures.

Even more so than the warhorses of cavalry.

Burning the warships was tantamount to burning half of their lives.

Moreover, the enemy killed countless soldiers, making the hatred boundless.

Atsushi Akiyama kept watch until late in the morning. After failing to ambush several cavalrymen, he realized that he had ambushed tens of thousands of troops for nothing that night.

An operation involving tens of thousands of people is a massive military operation, and the consequences of failure would be severe.

Fortunately, she was in charge here; otherwise, she would have been forced to commit seppuku as an atonement.

Even without paying a price, it angered Atsumi Akiyama so much that he almost drew his knife to kill someone.

Despite the seemingly obedient generals before her, she knew in her heart that news of her repeated command failures had already reached back home.

If things continue like this, she'll be forced to step down before she even takes over Fuling City.

The team commanded by Atsumi Akiyama was no longer just his own family's soldiers, but rather a large part of the troops who had joined from the Oga clan's homeland.

If she suffers another defeat, someone will likely step forward to replace her as the general of the south.

Many people are now proposing marriage to his family, but because he is too powerful and has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, no one dares to underestimate him.

Once she steps down from her post, she won't have to return to her family's hometown. Instead, she'll be forced to marry and spend the rest of her life in someone else's home, bearing children, serving her in-laws, and being a dutiful daughter-in-law who gets scolded at the drop of a hat.

At this thought, Atsumi Akiyama trembled all over and broke out in a cold sweat.

For Atsumi Akiyama, such an ending was worse than death.
