Chapter 20: The Mission to Harass the Rear

"Head to the rear of the Xiongnu and destroy their transport teams!"

"Huh?"

Chu Feng could not help but be startled.

He had thought of many military missions that Zhao Ping might arrange for him in his heart.

He did not expect that he would be assigned such a mission.

"I will give you two days to consider; if you are unwilling, I will not force you!"

"General, I am willing!"

Chu Feng chose to agree without the slightest hesitation.

It was just destroying the logistics transport of the Xiongnu army; he was very familiar with this line of work.

"Will you not consider it a bit more?"

Zhao Ping asked.

The current situation at Dingning Pass remained as precarious as a pile of eggs.

The only way to weaken the opponent's strength was to go behind enemy lines and destroy their transport routes.

This was a difficult mission with no logistics and no support whatsoever.

If it were not for the fact that he truly could not spare anyone right now, he would not want Chu Feng to go and execute it.

"General Zhao, there is no need to consider it!"

Chu Feng responded, "In my view, no one is more familiar than I am with how to cause destruction in the rear of the Xiongnu,

so this mission is practically tailor-made for me. I am willing to head to the rear of the Xiongnu to conduct operations behind enemy lines!"

Zhao Ping looked at the young man before him with a solemn expression.

His appreciation for him had climbed to its peak at this moment.

He even saw the shadow of his own younger self in Chu Feng.

"Good. Since you are willing, then this mission is handed to you to execute. Remember, only destroy their logistics transport; do not have direct contact with their troops!"

"Understood!"

"If you have any requests, you may state them to me now. I will fully support whatever I can help you with!"

Having obtained Zhao Ping's consent, Chu Feng pondered slightly for a moment.

"First, I need men. It is best if the cavalry number is no less than five hundred. Additionally, I want to bring the men under my command!"

"No problem!"

Zhao Ping agreed without even thinking.

"Furthermore, these people must obey my orders, so my position..."

"You are a Thousand-Man Commander now. Rest assured, they will absolutely obey all your arrangements!"

Zhao Ping was quite magnanimous.

He promoted Chu Feng to Thousand-Man Commander directly on the spot.

This consideration was also within reason; without a sufficient position, it was indeed impossible to command and restrain his subordinates.

"There is one last request, and that is hoping the General can provide us with some healing Pill. After all, in operations behind enemy lines,

casualties are inevitable. If there are enough Pill as supplements, then our sustained combat capability will surely be greatly improved."

Who would have thought that as soon as Chu Feng brought it up, he encountered Zhao Ping's stern refusal.

"Sorry, I cannot satisfy this request of yours!"

Zhao Ping continued, "Dingning Pass has not received Pill aid from the imperial court for a long time. The few Pill we have must be used to deal with the upcoming battles, so I am powerless regarding your last request."

"Uh..."

"Are we really so unwelcome by the imperial court? Or is it that they don't see us frontier soldiers in their eyes at all!"

Zhao Ping glared at Chu Feng: "Can you watch your tongue, kid?"

"Discussing the imperial family is a capital offense, right!"

Chu Feng muttered to himself.

He really didn't know what was worth being loyal to in such an imperial court.

Stingy and petty.

If it weren't for his lack of strength right now, he would have dragged the Emperor off that dragon throne.

"You must be careful and cautious when speaking in the future, understand?"

"Understood!"

"Alright, go back and get some good rest. Two days later, you will lead your team to the rear of the Xiongnu to execute the mission."

"This subordinate obeys!"

Afterward, Chu Feng left the General's Mansion.

Zhao Ping watched Chu Feng's departing back, his heart filled with reluctance.

But this was the only way.

"Child, I leave it to you!"

After leaving the General's Mansion, Chu Feng immediately took out the Transmission Jade Pendant that Zhao Ping had given him.

"Tyrant Spear, I really don't know what kind of high-level martial art this is!"

Chu Feng immediately pressed the Transmission Jade Pendant against his forehead.

Very quickly, the techniques within were deeply imprinted in his mind.

Then, the figure of "Tyrant Spear" appeared in his information panel.

【Name: Chu Feng】

【Race: Human】

【Cultivation Methods: "Qi Refining Technique" (Minor Accomplishment) + "Eighteen Wind-Chasing Sabers" (Major Accomplishment) + "Tyrant Spear" (Not Yet Initiated) +】

【Realm: Martial Artist Late Stage+】

【Strength: 4,200 jin】

【Talent: Elite Archer】

【Killing Points: 310】

"Three hundred and thirty Killing Points, I'd better learn 'Tyrant Spear' first!"

Chu Feng immediately clicked on the area where Tyrant Spear was located, and then one hundred Killing Points were deducted directly.

For the remaining two hundred and twenty points, Chu Feng decided to add them to his own cultivation.

【Name: Chu Feng】

【Race: Human】

【Cultivation Methods: "Qi Refining Technique" (Minor Accomplishment) "Eighteen Wind-Chasing Sabers" (Major Accomplishment) "Tyrant Spear" (Initiated)】

【Realm: Martial Artist Perfection】

【Strength: 4,800 jin】

【Talent: Elite Archer】

【Killing Points: 0】

"Well, the points are spent again!"

Although his strength had improved quite a bit, looking at the bottomed-out points, Chu Feng still felt a bit unsatisfied.

Right now, his strength was already at a level where he could walk sideways among Martial Masters.

But facing the upcoming mission to harass the rear of the Xiongnu, Chu Feng still felt unsure.

"No, I must hurry and earn more points. At the very least, before heading to the rear of the Xiongnu, I must possess strength comparable to a Postnatal expert."

It was unknown if the heavens had heard the request Chu Feng made.

Just as he was pondering.

A burst of horn sounds suddenly rang out.

"The Xiongnu army has launched an attack, everyone get ready!"

The entire camp instantly began to grow tense.

Countless soldiers began to prepare various equipment and weapons to defend the city wall.

"Yo, someone really handed me a pillow just as I was getting sleepy!"

He was just worrying about having nowhere to earn points, and the Xiongnu immediately launched an attack.

Chu Feng then couldn't bother to rest and ran straight toward the city wall.

"Sir, what are you doing?"

The soldiers under Chu Feng's command hurriedly asked when they saw Chu Feng running out in such a rush.

"You all rest well, I'm going to go hack some people!"

"......"

The crowd was speechless.

Their Centurion was truly a guy who couldn't stay idle.

A battle had only just ended.

And he immediately threw himself into the next battle.

Especially Zhang He, who was most familiar with him.

Are scholars these days all this warlike?

On the city wall.

Chu Feng stood at the crenel and looked into the distance.

Countless Xiongnu soldiers rushed toward Dingning Pass like a tide.

According to reliable news.

In order to take Dingning Pass as quickly as possible and rush into the hinterland of Great Wei.

The Xiongnu rear had added another 50,000 soldiers to the main camp, causing the strength of the Xiongnu camp to return to its peak once again.

Dingning Pass, which was already precarious, became even more shaky at this moment.

It was no wonder why Zhao Ping had to dispatch a team to the rear to cut off the enemy's logistics and supplies.

"You Xiongnu scum, come on then!"

The various soldiers defending Dingning Pass stared ahead with resolute eyes.

At this moment, they had completely cast aside all thoughts of life and death.

They were not fighting for the country in this battle, but for the wives and children behind them.

They all knew how the Xiongnu soldiers would ravage the commoners in the city after the city fell.

So even if they died today, they had to drag a few more Xiongnu soldiers down with them.

"Charge for me!"

With an order.

Countless Xiongnu soldiers, like students getting a meal, scrambled to rush toward Dingning Pass.

"Grandson, hurry over here, Grandpa has prepared the golden juice you love to eat!"

The Great Wei soldiers on the city wall frantically provoked the Xiongnu soldiers below.

Chu Feng also pulled his bowstring to the limit at this moment.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

The arrows were released in response to the sound.

Countless Xiongnu soldiers in the middle of a charge were instantly met with a head-on, painful strike from Chu Feng.

One by one, they all turned into Chu Feng's favorite experience babies.

"Charge, all of you!"

After losing a large wave of soldiers, someone finally reached the base of the city wall.

They immediately set up scaling ladders, and one by one, they began to climb toward the top of the wall.

The soldiers guarding the city wall immediately prepared a tailor-made set menu for them.

Boulders, rolling logs, and incomparably scalding molten excrement.

For a time.

The Xiongnu soldiers under the city wall all let out screams like those of vengeful ghosts.

Quite a few Xiongnu soldiers were also smashed directly into meat paste by the boulders and rolling logs.

Yet even so.

Countless Xiongnu soldiers still pressed forward fearlessly, disregarding death.

There was no other way.

Behind them were also a group of officers overseeing the battle.

Whoever did not put effort into attacking the city or retreated would have to be treated to their favorite "broadsword noodles."

In the end, quite a few Xiongnu soldiers still managed to climb onto the city wall.

The soldiers of Great Wei immediately grabbed their combat sabers and engaged them in a struggle.

"You dog pups, don't think about leaving once you've come!"

Chu Feng drew the long saber from his waist and engaged in a fierce slaughter with the crowd of Xiongnu soldiers who had climbed onto the city wall.

At present, his strength was fully capable of going head-to-head with a Martial Master Late-stage or even a peak Martial Artist.

Therefore, these ordinary soldiers who had climbed onto the city tower posed absolutely no threat to Chu Feng.

It was a complete and utter crushing.

"Brat, stop being so smug!"

Just as Chu Feng was in the thick of the fierce battle.

A chill suddenly appeared behind his back.
