Chapter 162 We are short of money
Without waiting for others to move, Qiao Jun jumped off his horse and landed on top of the grain pile.
The round grain stack was covered with straw mats and compacted with stones.
He quickly opened the straw curtain and waved to a guard.
The guard threw the torch in his hand up.
Qiao Jun caught the torch, held it up and looked inside the grain pile.
"General Cui, this stack is empty."
"what!"
When everyone heard this, they were shocked.
Lin Feng didn't care about this and just looked at Qiao Jun.
This man's skills are indeed very good, which can be seen from the way he jumps onto the grain pile.
Holding a torch, Qiao Jun leaped from one grain stack to another.
He used his hands to push aside the straw curtain and looked inside.
"empty."
This empty sentence made Lin Feng lose his patience and waved his hand.
"Go and check them one by one."
Dozens of guards immediately urged their horses into the grain stack area and climbed to the top of the stack with the help of horseback.
"General, this is empty."
"General, this one is empty too."
The shouting made Lin Feng's heart sink.
This time he robbed the food in order to solve the food crisis of the government army, and to bring his father and sister back from the border army camp.
If the Tartars run out of food, his plan will fail.
The food and fodder in Lingdouzi and Qingshui County really cannot be squeezed out.
Looking up, I saw piles of grain.
What the hell, are the Tartars so poor?
Suddenly, someone shouted in the distance.
"There's food here, there's food here."
Finally, there is still some food left.
Following the guard's shout, many people ran over.
"There's also food in this pile."
"General, this is also here."
Gradually, dozens of guards discovered more and more stacks of grain.
A smile gradually appeared on Lin Feng's face.
"Fuck, that scared me to death."
He exhaled lightly and cursed.
"Come here, contact General Qin immediately and have the government troops come over to get the food."
A guard took the order and left.
"General Cui, tell her that we can't stay here any longer. Send someone to find a carriage to load the food."
Cui Ying rode his horse towards him from the darkness.
"Lin Feng, how do we transport these grains back?"
"Have your border troops arrived yet? Find someone to contact them and ask them to come and deliver the food."
"it is good."
Cui Ying agreed and went to find someone immediately.
Zhao Shuo was not interested in food and came over at this time.
"Brother, where is the treasure you mentioned?"
Lin Feng looked at him in surprise.
"You've been here for quite some time, but you haven't found any treasures?"
"No, there are only dead bodies and dead horses. Weapons and armor are not really valuable."
"Are there any gold, silver, or treasures?"
"There are some, but they are not treasures."
"Hurry up and look for it again. We can't stay here for long."
"Okay, big brother."
Zhao Shuo agreed and urged his horse to go somewhere else.
At this time, Lin Qiaomei and Li Donglai also rushed back with their men.
Qin Fang also followed behind.
When he saw the piles of grain, he became excited.
"Boss, is there any food in there?"
"Haha, you're more prudent. You should ask if there's any food inside first."
"Boss, what did you say?"
"Alright, let the government troops enter the camp immediately to get food. We don't have much time."
"Yes, boss!"
Qin Fang quickly turned his horse around and went to look for someone.
There was a lot of blood splattered on Lin Qiaomei's little face, and she looked extremely charming under the firelight.
"Brother, I have chopped off dozens of Tartar heads."
"Be careful. The two of you should take people to support Zhang Changyou's and Yu Lei's troops. Bring people and vehicles and rush here as quickly as possible."
"It's the boss."
"Don't worry, brother."
The two men turned their horses and ran away with their guards.
Lin Feng turned his head and looked around.
"Wei Bao, where is Wei Bao?"
The guards immediately went around looking for Wei Bao.
Not long after, Wei Bao urged his horse to come over.
"General, you're looking for me?"
"Send out the cavalry, especially keep an eye on the Tartar camp south of the border town. Report any abnormalities immediately."
"Yes, General."
"Xie Zhong, immediately tell the engineering battalion to go outside the camp, twenty feet away from the fence, and dig a trench."
Lin Feng paused and said, "No need to dig deeper, about ten feet and three feet wide, that should be enough."
Xie Chong took the order and left.
After a series of commands were issued, Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
I saw Fan Jinsong and Xie Chong both came back.
"Let's go and look for the Tartar leader's tent."
Lin Feng brought dozens of guards and urged his horses to run towards the center of the Tartar camp.
Shi San didn't know where he was going, he just rushed forward in a daze.
He cut down countless war horses and cavalrymen.
Finally, he rushed to the edge of the camp and saw a large number of war cavalry. Shi San turned around and swung his sword.
He chopped the camp logs in front of him with all his might.
With more than ten strikes, he cut a hole in the camp fence and leaned out.
Without a warhorse, he could only spread his bow legs and run into the dark wilderness.
The border town was nearby, and Qin Fang quickly dispatched a carriage from the city.
Thousands of government troops began loading food onto carts.
Even though most of the granary stacks were empty, they still had plenty of food and fodder.
One stack of grain could fill three or four horse-drawn carts.
Cartloads of food and fodder were transported to the border town. After unloading, they would immediately rush back to load the second carload.
The entire border town was filled with joy.
Although it was past midnight, no one was sleeping.
I have been hungry for several days, eating coarse food and my eyes have turned green.
Two centurions leaned against a grain stack, supervising their soldiers loading grain and fodder onto the carts.
He also grabbed a handful of food and put it into his mouth.
"I never thought that after being robbed by the Tartars all day long, one day, I will rob the damn Tartars myself."
A burly centurion kept talking while chewing raw food.
Another whispered, "Who on earth is so bold? They even took down the Tartar camp."
"I heard that he's the newly promoted commander-in-chief, his name is, uh, Lin Feng. Yes, his name is Lin Feng."
"Could it be the Lin Feng who was able to kill the Bronze-Armored Tartar?"
"Well, well, I'm afraid it's this person."
"I think no one else would dare to do this."
The burly man swallowed a mouthful of food.
"Damn, it's so nice to follow a general like this. I'm so frustrated in this border town."
"Hehe, following a general like this will lead to death quickly."
The other centurion shook his head.
The burly man glared and said, "It would be a relief to die. Seeing the Tartars plundering everywhere makes me miserable."
"Then you can apply to be transferred here."
"You think I don't dare? Go and tell me now. My boss wants to come over too."
"what?"
"Ah, what? There are many people like me."
The centurion scratched his head and stopped talking.
General Qin personally rushed from the city to the camp and ordered people to look for Lin Feng.
The central army tent of the Tartars' bronze-armored soldiers had been set on fire by a large number of soldiers.
Lin Feng could only stand in the ruins and grope around.
"Jinsong, where do you think the Tartars hid all the gold, silver, and treasures they looted?"
Fan Jinsong shook his head: "General, I don't know either. I've been looking for it for a long time."
"Please arrange more manpower to look for it. We are really short of money."
"Yes, General."
