Chapter 30: Traces Discovered

The Xiongnu iron cavalry, currently in a fit of rage, probably never dreamed.

Just how cunning and black-bellied the opponent they were facing this time truly was.

Just when they thought Chu Feng would certainly go to harass the logistics transport team again.

Chu Feng had already changed his operational strategy.

A situation that would give them an even greater headache was currently brewing.

Two and a half hours later.

Chu Feng and the others arrived at a relatively large-scale tribe.

According to the scouts' reconnaissance, the number of people in this tribe was around two thousand.

The majority were still the elderly, weak, women, and children.

Most of the young men had been conscripted to the front lines of the battle.

"Brothers, make as much noise as you can for me in a moment; the goal is to get their iron cavalry to come over here for me."

"Then we will go and harass their logistics transport!"

Everyone smiled knowingly and one after another made a promise to Chu Feng.

"Rest assured, Thousand-Man Commander, I'm an expert at causing trouble!"

"I'm not good at anything else, but I specialize in killing and arson!"

"Hehe, you little Xiongnu brats, have you been looking forward to Grandpa's arrival?"

The soldiers under Chu Feng's command were all eager to get started.

Fighting alongside Chu Feng was simply too satisfying.

Not only could they seize a great amount of supplies and treasure, but they could also experience what it meant to crush the enemy.

"Everyone, charge with me!"

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

"Charge!"

Everyone immediately drew their blades.

Following Chu Feng, they launched a charge toward this large tribe.

At this moment, this tribe was still a group of women cooking food.

The elderly and children were harvesting and transporting forage.

Winter was fast approaching.

They had to store enough fodder for the cattle and sheep to survive the winter before winter arrived.

It was precisely at this time.

The earth suddenly began to tremble.

Once they reacted, they discovered that a banner of Great Wei had instantly entered their field of vision.

"Oh no, the Wei people are here!"

A large group of Xiongnu were instantly scared out of their wits.

Because those charging toward them were not ordinary Wei people at all, but a group of fully armed Wei Army cavalry.

Some of the young adults remaining in the tribe saw the Wei Army attacking.

One by one, they scrambled onto their horses, preparing to meet the enemy.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Chu Feng immediately drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, he harvested the lives of these young adults.

"End the battle quickly; take what can be taken, destroy what cannot, and execute all males taller than a cart wheel without exception!"

Such a situation could not help but make Chu Feng think of that notorious "Three Alls" policy from back in the day.

Although he detested it deeply, this policy was currently being used against the enemy.

If they were not beaten into fear or wiped out.

These remnants would be like wild grass, which the spring breeze cannot destroy and which grows again after a wildfire.

The barbarians fear power but do not respect virtue.

One must adopt the most cruel methods when dealing with them.

Otherwise.

Come next autumn.

The common people at the border would repeat the same mistakes.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Successive screams filled every corner of the tribe.

The grassland after the arrival of autumn was originally a golden expanse, but now it had gained a touch of bright red.

It had been no more than half an hour.

The entire area had already turned into a sea of blood.

One could believe that the forage in this area would definitely grow very lush next year.

After all, it had been watered with fresh blood.

"Whoosh!"

A great fire ignited.

All the efforts put forth by these Xiongnu had turned into nothingness.

Everything before their eyes was their entire livelihood for the winter.

And now, not even a hair remained.

"My lord, it is all done!"

Xiang Yuan came to report, carrying a blood-stained long saber.

According to Chu Feng's instructions.

Every male taller than a chariot wheel had been slaughtered by them.

The cattle and sheep they had raised were also confiscated or scattered by them.

As for the tents they lived in and the stored fodder, they had also been burned to ashes by a great fire.

"Well done, let's move to another place!"

"Yes!"

Following the issuance of the order.

All the Wei soldiers immediately chose to retreat.

They began to shift the battle to another field.

Not until the soldiers of Great Wei had gone far away.

Did those surviving Xiongnu curse incessantly, pointing in the direction where Chu Feng and the others had left.

After they were done, they held their heads and wept bitterly.

There was nothing left in their homes.

Winter was coming soon; how were they to survive!

On the other side, the Xiongnu cavalry searching for Chu Feng and the others naturally discovered that something was wrong here.

They saw a thick column of black smoke rising steadily in the distance.

Realizing that something was wrong, they immediately headed over to investigate the situation.

Once they arrived, everything before their eyes made them wish they could tear the perpetrators to pieces alive.

"Damn it, these damned Wei people, you dog bastards!"

The leading Xiongnu chieftain looked with bloodshot eyes at the burned houses and the slaughtered compatriots.

At this moment, they wished they could sprout wings right now.

And catch up to those Wei people, torturing them all to death in the most painful way.

"General, you must avenge us!"

An elderly Xiongnu man knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly.

He cried out hoarsely, accusing the Wei people of the harm they had caused them.

"Old Uncle, rest assured, once we catch up to them, we will definitely make them pay their blood debt!"

Tuo Lu made a promise to the old man here.

If he failed to do so, he would be unworthy of the title of Prairie Eagle.

On the other side.

After Chu Feng led his men to wipe out a tribe, he immediately fled toward the next area.

Every time they passed a tribe, regardless of its size, they would go and wreak havoc.

It directly caused these Xiongnu to turn pale at the mere mention of Wei.

Once the people in the tribes heard the sound of hoofbeats.

Everyone thought that the Great Wei cavalry had arrived to kill them.

By the time the cavalry pursuing Chu Feng and the others caught up, Chu Feng and his men had long since fled.

It completely broke Tuo Lu's composure.

After chasing for so long, they still hadn't found the slightest trace of them.

Eventually, this news reached the ears of the Left Worthy King.

"Damn it!"

The Left Worthy King kicked over the table in front of him.

"Useless fools, all of you are useless fools!"

"To actually be left at a loss by a small force of Wei cavalry, are you still the pride of the prairie? Are you still those invincible Xiongnu warriors?"

Facing the fury of the Left Worthy King.

The various generals all hung their heads, not knowing what to say.

They truly had not expected the opponent to be so cunning.

They didn't target their logistics and transport but specifically went to wreak havoc on their tribes.

In just this one day.

No fewer than twenty tribes had been wiped out by this Wei cavalry.

"Order all small tribes to move closer to the large tribes, leaving them no possibility of being harassed."

"Large tribes must immediately organize teams to counterattack this Wei cavalry."

"In short, no matter what, we must ensure the stability of the rear!"

"Yes, Great King!" all the generals said in unison.

Following the issuance of the Left Worthy King's order.

The tribes in the rear were also gathering in an orderly fashion.

Some even dispatched scouts to conduct reconnaissance, reporting immediately once they discovered the Wei troops.

Furthermore, some Xiongnu people skilled in training hawks also joined this operation.

The goal was to annihilate this detestable Wei cavalry in the shortest time possible.

"Set the fire, burn!"

Whoosh!

As the great fire ignited.

Chu Feng and the others successfully annihilated another logistics transport team numbering up to a thousand people.

Through the constant battles during this period.

Chu Feng's Killing Points also increased by quite a bit.

【Realm: Postnatal Early Stage】

【Strength: 17,000 catties】

【Talent: Elite Archer】

【Killing Points: 1020】

"This 'Purple Firmament Profound Heaven Art' is quite a glutton! A thousand points actually weren't enough to light it up!"

Chu Feng stared at the situation before him and could not help but fall into deep thought.

Now that he had one thousand points, it was time to give himself a comprehensive upgrade.

He first upgraded his cultivation, which consumed five hundred points.

As for the remaining five hundred points, he clicked on "Tyrant Spear".

After all, when fighting on horseback, a long spear definitely has the most advantage.

【Name: Chu Feng】

【Strength: 24,000 catties】

【Talent: Elite Archer】

The muscles and blood-Qi throughout his body felt as if a dam had opened its floodgates.

Surging, turbulent power once again rushed toward the limbs and bones of his entire body.

"Brothers, set off for the next location!"

"Yes!"

After everyone finished packing up, they stepped onto the journey once more.

Only, what they did not know was that two goshawks were circling above their heads.

It was at this very moment.

Niu Yuan was rushing toward Chu Feng's side at extreme speed.
