Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 292 The crossbow is broken

Lin Feng was not angry. He raised his hand and pointed at Zhao Shuo who was standing next to him.

"This is the son of King Rui, General Conquering the Enemy, and Marquis of Champion, Zhao Shuo. He can represent King Rui and prove that I, Lin Feng, stand on the side of the Dazong court."

Zhao Shuo had stayed in the border town for some time, and many officers knew him.

When he heard Lin Feng mention his name, he immediately puffed out his chest and looked at everyone proudly.

After all, many people have heard of Prince Rui's name and know that he holds a very important position in the court.

Another twenty or thirty officers began to move to the left side of the lobby.

There was a commotion in the crowd.

Lin Feng stood behind the desk with his hands behind his back, looking coldly at the officers in the hall.

He was competing with these people in patience and perseverance.

The guards of these officers were isolated outside the general's mansion so as not to cause a mutiny.

This is the advantage of Lin Feng’s quick reaction, not giving the other party time to prepare.

Faced with the huge pressure of 30,000 soldiers, Lin Feng also fought hard.

Ge Shuguo turned his head and looked at the officer standing on the left side of the lobby with cold eyes.

This look from him caused two or three officers who had already stood over to quietly return to the right.

"Ge Shuguo, I suspect you are colluding with Du Lisheng. You have repeatedly questioned the general's decisions. Do you have ulterior motives?"

"You're talking nonsense! I've been in the government army for half my life, loyal to the clan and Zhenxi. How could I allow a young boy like you to..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a clang of the bowstring and a crossbow arrow pierced his neck.

Ge Shuguo turned around and looked to his side in surprise.

A soldier standing in the corner of the lobby was looking at the crossbow in his hand with surprise.

"Oops, I made a mistake. I'm sorry, General..."

Everyone in the hall immediately burst into an uproar, pointing at the soldier angrily and shouting curses.

Others raised their hands and pointed at Lin Feng, shouting something.

It was too noisy and I couldn't hear clearly.

Lin Feng frowned and looked at the soldiers standing in a row.

The soldier who had failed was still fiddling with the crossbow in his hand with his head down.

After two or three hits, suddenly, another crossbow arrow shot out and hit the chest of an officer who was pointing at him and cursing.

The crossbow arrow was so powerful that the nearly foot-long shaft almost completely penetrated the officer's chest.

There was a sudden pause in the hall, and those officers who had raised their hands to point at each other quietly retracted their hands.

The soldier had a look of panic on his face and looked around helplessly.

"Hey, what's going on? This broken crossbow is broken again..."

Lin Feng had already recognized that the sound was Lin Qiaomei's.

Although she changed into a soldier's armor and wore an iron helmet that covered her face.

But the sound cannot be changed.

They said the crossbow was broken, but we are all soldiers and no one is a fool.

All the officers kept their mouths shut and stared blankly at the two generals lying on the ground.

Blood slowly flowed out from under their bodies, winding on the bluestone floor, just like their mood at the moment, wavering.

Lin Feng shouted, "Drag him away and give him thirty military sticks."

A soldier came over, grabbed the soldier's arms and dragged him out.

The soldier struggled and yelled: "General, the crossbow is broken, I didn't do it on purpose..."

All the officers fell silent.

Two senior officers died, and you only gave them thirty military sticks. Are you kidding me?

Lin Feng turned around and smiled gently at everyone.

"I promise that something like this won't happen again. Everyone still has time to carefully consider their choices."

This time, there were as many as forty or fifty officers rushing from the right to the left.

There were only a dozen officers left on the right.

Outside came the sound of military clubs hitting flesh, accompanied by screams of "Ah, Ah, Ah".

Lin Feng stopped trying to persuade him and just listened quietly to the rhythmic beating of the military stick.

The beating stopped and the screaming ceased.

A moment later, two soldiers ran into the hall.

"Report, General, military law has been executed."

Lin Feng nodded: "Return to the group."

The two soldiers stood back at the edge of the hall, holding crossbows in their hands, standing straight and looking straight ahead.

However, some officers were sharp-eyed and suddenly discovered it.

The guy with the broken crossbow was standing in the same place again.

fuck!

In just two breaths, seven or eight of the dozen or so officers on the right moved their feet and moved to the left.

Now, there are only four officers left on the right.

Without waiting for Lin Feng to speak, an officer bowed.

"General Lin, it's not that we're being stubborn, but I have a family of over twenty, still in the capital. Even if your crossbow is broken, I wouldn't dare obey your orders."

His voice was choked with sobs.

Lin Feng waved his hand: "Okay, I understand. You guys can leave the border town and go back to the capital city."

He nodded and said, "Escort them out of the city."

A dozen soldiers came up, surrounded the four people, and walked out.

When they were about to reach the lobby door, Lin Feng added another sentence.

"I'm sorry, the crossbow is really broken."

The officers, who were walking steadily, almost fell down when they heard this.

"Clean this place up. It's so creepy to look at."

Some soldiers quickly brought buckets of water and other things, carried the body out, and began to wash the floor.

Lin Feng looked at the busy soldiers.

"Register their names and report the damage."

Hu Jincai standing by hurriedly bowed in response.

The remaining officers stood silently to one side, looking down at the bluestone floor that was gradually being cleaned.

Ge Shuguo, General Fujun, one of the senior generals of the Border City Army.

He is also one of the most senior generals.

He was gone, shot to death by a broken crossbow.

The four officers who were escorted out of the General's Mansion were accompanied by more than a dozen guards all the way to the city gate.

Halfway through the journey, an officer suddenly asked.

"Brothers, can you let me go back and pack my luggage?"

None of the dozen or so guards spoke, their faces were expressionless, but they did not stop.

"Brothers, if we are driven out of the city like this, it would be better to kill us now. We will die anyway."

Still no one answered them, but the guards' hands unconsciously grasped the hilts of their swords.

Teams of soldiers were walking back and forth on the street.

The entire border town was filled with a sense of tension in the air.

When everyone arrived at the city gate, a guard raised the token in his hand.

"General Lin Feng ordered them to leave the city."

A city guard was running over, checked the token, and raised his hand to signal to open the city gate.

The heavy city gate was slowly opened a crack.

Several guards stood inside the city gate, staring at the four officers, waiting for them to walk out of the gate.

The four officers looked at each other, then turned to look at the wilderness outside the door.

If you leave the city like this, you won’t survive.

"Brothers, I regret this. I want to follow General Lin to fight the Tartars. I want to go back."

An officer shouted loudly and turned around to walk into the city.

The two guards pulled out their steel knives with a loud bang and stared at him warily.

What that means is, if you dare to take another step back, I will chop you with a knife.

The officer swallowed hard.

"I beg you, brothers, if you could please tell me that I, the Central Guard General, Zeng Lian, would like to follow General Lin to fight the Tartars."

There was a pleading look in his eyes.

For a mid-level officer in the provincial army, he was once a tough guy.

Being able to beg like this is already the limit.

Finally, a guard spoke.

"From the moment you step out of the lobby door, there's no turning back. Let's go, and have a safe journey."

Several officers looked at the shining steel knives in the hands of the guards, turned around helplessly, and slowly walked towards the city gate.

There were two young guards with expressions of pity in their eyes.
