Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 1007 Action Begins

"Of course, because... I've told you all about the plan. From now on, until we finish robbing the salt truck and run back to the mountains, you, Master Shu Fengting, must stay within my sight."

Lin Feng looked at Yan Xiaoding's somewhat cunning eyes and felt that he had underestimated this pretty girl.

In this way, the seven heroes of the Yan family rested in Long County for another three days. On the afternoon of the fourth day, more than 300 people were divided into three groups, and each led their team out of the county.

Lin Feng also rode a warhorse, equipped with a straight knife, and followed Yan Xiaoding and Yan Xiaobing out of the city gate and ran towards the northeast.

The war horses ran faster and faster, while the weeds and bushes in the fields became more and more numerous, and the terrain became more complex.

In the end, the war horses could not move forward, and more than a hundred people dismounted and led the way.

Lin Feng observed the surrounding environment. They had entered Longfu Ridge and were looking for their position at the foot of the mountain.

The team did not stop moving forward until the beginning of the afternoon. Yan Xiaobing ordered everyone to dismount and rest on the spot.

Lin Feng and Ji Xueliang stayed together, climbed onto a big rock, and looked around.

After looking for a long time, he didn't see anything, so he had to sit down and get a water bag to drink.

"Hey, Laoji, what are we doing here? It's in the wilderness, there's not even a ghost to be seen."

Lin Feng and Ji Xueliang were familiar with each other, so they spoke casually.

"Our mission this time is to run."

Ji Xueliang said in a low voice.

"run?"

"That's right. We'll wait a little while longer, not far from the official road. When the pirates' salt convoy comes by, we'll rush over and start beating them up, and then run away."

After listening to him, Lin Feng began to understand the arrangement of this operation.

Their team was responsible for attracting the pirates' attention and diverting some of them to pursue them, making it easier for the main salt-robbing team to take action.

"Where are we going?"

Ji Xueliang raised his finger and pointed at Longfu Ridge.

"Running to the mountains and taking advantage of the complex terrain is the only way to escape the pirates' pursuit."

Lin Feng frowned and said, "We have war horses. Why don't we take advantage of them and run on the plains?"

"We only have a hundred cavalrymen, and the pirates guarding the salt carts will probably number in the hundreds. If we are forced to flee across the plains, it will be even harder for us to escape."

Ji Xueliang looked like a scholar and patiently taught Lin Feng.

Lin Feng laughed and said, "It's probably because of your poor riding skills."

Ji Xueliang was stunned and glanced at Lin Feng.

"Don't tell me, it's true. Even though I ride horses all day, I've never really learned how to ride. Besides, the quality of these war horses isn't good enough."

As he spoke, he patted his long legs.

"In the mountains, you still have to rely on your legs. Follow me closely. I'm familiar with the mountain paths and can run fast too."

Lin Feng smiled bitterly: "You run so fast, how can I keep up with you?"

At this time, two more team members climbed up the big rock, both with straight knives hanging from their waists and bows on their backs.

"Laoji, don't forget to bring your brothers along when you get there."

Ji Xueliang grinned: "No problem, as long as you can keep up."

The two team members who had just climbed onto the rock let out a breath and turned over to sit down.

"Laoji runs fast, and we can't keep up. We have to check the route early, so as not to run away and get blocked by pirates."

Ji Xueliang waved his hand: "You two better watch the route carefully, don't count on me."

"What?"

Ji Xueliang raised his chin towards Lin Feng.

"You all know who this person is, right? Sister Xiao Ding said that Lao Ji is protecting you. Who has the time to take care of you?"

A man shook his thumb at Lin Feng.

"Not to mention, you also need to have good skills to protect your life."

"You should learn some escape techniques. It's too late to learn how to cook."

"Alas, I learned carpentry back then, but I never thought it would be of any use."

"Well, I could fish, but I never thought I'd risk my life fighting pirates."

Several people were joking with each other.

Yan Xiaobing's voice came over.

"Attention, everyone, keep moving forward, follow closely, and don't fall behind."

Everyone immediately got up from the ground and went to look for their horses.

When it was almost dark, the entire team of more than 100 people stopped in a depression. Looking east from here, they could see the official road from Quzhou Prefecture through Longfu Mountain.

The war horses were gathered and taken away to hide somewhere else, while the other team members were led by their respective team leaders to find a place to attack the pirates.

Ji Xueliang brought Lin Feng, followed by Yan Xiaobing and Yan Xiaoding, and ran to a place more than fifty steps away from the official road, where they stopped next to a bush.

Yan Xiaoding glanced at Ji Xueliang.

"Laoji, have you checked the route?"

Ji Xueliang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Sister Ding, just follow Lao Ji when the time comes. You won't go wrong."

"Whenever I worry about you, don't run too fast and take care of Master Shu."

"Yeah, that's no problem."

Lin Feng frowned and asked, "Don't just run away, is your plan reliable?"

Yan Xiaobing laughed and said, "Look at Master Shu's plan. You're just thinking about escaping. You'll have to attract more pirates to chase you."

Yan Xiaoding snorted coldly: "Be more attractive? Are you going to die?"

Yan Xiaobing didn't want to argue with her. Of course, he knew that it would be useless to reason with Yan Xiaoding, so he simply stopped talking and turned to look at the situation on the official road.

Lin Feng pointed to the official road not far away.

"Are we going to rush down from here and fight?"

Yan Xiaoding shook his head: "Just shoot with a bow and arrow. If you rush down, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back."

Ji Xueliang nodded vigorously: "Yes, the pirates are very fierce. If you let them entangle you, no matter how powerful your martial arts skills are, you will be entangled to death."

Lin Feng was full of admiration: "You have been fighting the pirates for so long, you must be more powerful than them."

Ji Xueliang spread his hands and said, "I can run faster than the pirates, but the two bosses are more powerful than the pirates."

Yan Xiaoding frowned: "It is certainly powerful, but I have never fought such a large-scale battle before, so I don't think the result will be optimistic."

Yan Xiaobing also said in a muffled voice: "I am increasingly feeling that I was a bit careless. I didn't listen to Master Shu and should have done more research."

Lin Feng smiled bitterly: "It has come to this point. We must be firm in our confidence. Hesitation will harm everyone."

"Okay, let's follow Brother Xiaoyi's instructions. Let's try to snipe as many pirates as possible to make it easier for the team behind us."

Yan Xiaobing looked at Yan Xiaoding and spoke.

His meaning was very clear. He told Yan Xiaoding not to just think about escaping, but to cooperate with the overall operation, which was the right thing to do.

"Okay, I know. I'll just follow your orders when the time comes."

Yan Xiaoding waved his hands impatiently.

Yan Xiaobing nodded and turned to Lin Feng.

"I'm sorry, Master Shu, for involving you in this, but don't worry, we will protect you."

Lin Feng nodded and said nothing.

Yan Xiaoding scolded, "Whatever you say, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will let Master Shu leave alive."

"It's not that serious..."

Lin Feng quickly eased the atmosphere.

Ji Xueliang said solemnly, "Master Shu, the pirates are indeed difficult to deal with. You must follow me closely. If you fall behind, there will be only one outcome."
