Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 474 The Largest Horse Farm

Countless soldiers jumped up in panic and searched for their armor and weapons with sleepy eyes.

Some people rushed out of the tent and found that the camp gate and a part of the camp fence had been blown to pieces.

Not far away, countless large groups of war cavalry came roaring and were less than a hundred steps away.

In order to ensure victory in this attack on the camp, Hu Jincai used chariots and heavy armor.

He even persuaded Xi Niang to use a few black jars to blow open the gate of the Tartar camp.

More than 20,000 Tartar soldiers in the camp organized their resistance in panic.

But it's too late.

The two sides had been facing each other calmly at a distance of fifty miles, but they did not expect a sudden attack on their camp today.

As there was no one in charge in the camp, it was impossible to quickly organize an effective resistance team.

In this panic, a large number of chariots rushed into the camp first.

For the first time, a large number of soldiers felt the ease and comfort of attacking the Tatars.

There was almost no resistance, with chariots running rampant, heavy armor rampant, and light cavalry everywhere.

The entire camp was in a state of one-sided massacre.

This battle was the most cowardly battle that the Tiezhen tribe had ever fought since the war with the Dazong tribe.

They began to disintegrate without forming any effective resistance. The first reaction of countless Tatar cavalrymen after finding their war horses was to ride away.

Seeing that the defeat was irreversible, the two silver-armored Tartars each gathered their guards and fled in a different direction.

Hu Jincai didn't expect that this battle would be so easy.

The heart that was originally in my throat now settled down in my stomach.

In less than two quarters of an hour, more than 20,000 Tatar cavalry gave up resistance and fled in all directions.

He was chased everywhere by a large number of soldiers.

Hu Jincai climbed up the observation tower in the camp with a smile and looked around at the Tatar cavalry who were fleeing in a panic.

I fully felt General Lin Feng's comfortable mood.

At this time, Lin Feng was standing on the roof of a four-story building in the city, overlooking the crowd in the square.

A high platform was built in the square, and three sturdy executioners stood on one side of the platform.

The three heads of the aristocratic families, Wang Yusheng, Qian Duogui and Ji Zhonglian, had their hands and feet tied and pressed on the guillotine.

There was a surge of people under the stage, with excited faces, pushing forward, all wanting to see the scene of the three big men being beheaded.

An official stood at the front of the platform and read out the charges against the three people aloud.

Finally, it was announced that the three family heads were guilty of treason and rebellion for colluding with the Black Turban Army and were sentenced to death.

His family members were sentenced to exile and sent to Yinzhou, Western Xia.

All the assets of the three major families were confiscated.

Lin Feng also lamented how strong the financial resources of the three major families were.

Even Zhao Shuo, who was used to seeing rare treasures, was surprised by the property found after the house was confiscated.

Lin Feng has already ordered Bai Jing and Wang Qian to go to the city.

Bai Jing was responsible for the preparation and establishment of the Qingfeng Silver Industry Fucheng Branch.

Wang Qian replaced Qin Fang as the leader of the Fuchengfu Army, and Qin Fang was transferred to Yinzhou, Xixia, to be responsible for the security of the canal project.

Qin Fang also admitted that he was indeed hesitant about his performance in the provincial capital and was influenced by various forces.

He packed up his things honestly, took the family members of the three major families with him, and rushed to Yinzhou, Xixia to take up his post.

The reputation of Qingfeng Silver has long been spread far and wide.

Once it opened, the shop was packed with people for the first ten days.

They were all wealthy families and common people who came from all over to store their goods.

Don’t underestimate the interest on storage. The fact that you can make money just by putting it here makes all people amazed and excited.

With the stored silver and money plus the property of the three major families, Lin Feng became wealthy again.

At present, in the entire Zhenxi, there is Wen Cheng in charge of literature, Wang Qian in charge of military affairs, and Bai Jing in charge of finance.

Lin Feng found a quiet place and began to study the problem of cement.

This thing is a groundbreaking development and innovation for architecture and it is indispensable.

There are two difficulties: one is the formula, and the other is how to grind the limestone and iron ore into powder.

The particles must be ground to very small sizes.

As for the recipe, once you have the raw materials, it will just take some time and experimentation.

Grinding powdered materials is a technical challenge.

There was no electric grinding, so everything had to be done manually or by oxen and horses. Not only was it time-consuming and labor-intensive, but there were also no grinding stones that were that fine.

Lin Feng will not study these problems one by one by himself.

He summoned all the skilled craftsmen in the city and gathered them together, assigning them tasks based on their individual skills.

This was the first silicate cement production research institute he established.

Or you can call it a workshop now.

Once this thing is researched and produced, its profits will surpass the wealth of the three major families.

Lin Feng now has no shortage of raw materials, as he has brought back various minerals from Yinzhou.

There are limestone, iron ore, timber, coal and diamonds. The products are indeed rich and colorful, which makes Lin Feng amazed.

With such a large amount of raw materials, Lin Feng didn't believe that he couldn't make cement.

He gave craftsmen basic tools and research methods.

First of all, there are gears. The large gear is fitted with a small gear, which allows the grinder to rotate very fast.

Using oxen to pull the largest gear drove gears of various models to rotate at double the speed, leaving all the craftsmen dumbfounded.

Lin Feng only provided a general method and asked the craftsmen to conduct research in this direction.

He would not underestimate the skilled craftsmen of this era, as they were no less intelligent.

What I lack is my own advanced knowledge and thinking ability.

While Lin Feng was busy with scientific research, he received news that Hu Jincai had won a great victory over the 30,000-strong Tartar army.

The main reason is that the casualties were very small, and it can be regarded as a typical battle example.

Lin Feng looked at the battle report in his hand and nodded in admiration.

"Okay, this guy Lao Hu has grown up."

We can't just let it go like this, we have to keep moving forward. How can we do this without bringing back some good stuff?

Of course, Lin Feng’s main purpose was to break up the grassland tribes.

The Tiezhen tribe was unable to gather the troops of various tribes and no longer had the strength to invade the major tribes.

I hope that from now on, there will be no more wars on the Zhenxi border.

Lin Feng immediately decided to put down his research work, took his own guard team, and assigned the task to Bai Jing, Wen Cheng and Wang Qian.

He led the team out of the city and headed straight for the border town.

Wang Qian begged to take him with him, saying that he had no battles to fight in Zhenxi and was feeling very frustrated.

Lin Feng also knew that this guy had a talent for fighting and could play a greater role on the battlefield.

However, he was still persuaded. Compared with his fighting talent, loyalty was Wang Qian's characteristic.

This Zhenxi is his rear base, and he cannot make any mistakes. If something goes wrong, he will have no way to retreat.

It's tragic that after spending several years of hard work, you end up homeless.

Hu Jincai had just won a great victory and was feeling confused after cleaning up the battlefield.

Should we continue to fight forward or defend the current city?

While he was hesitating, Lin Feng came back.

In addition to bringing back a batch of food and supplies, Lin Feng also brought back two merchants.

The two businessmen were there to take over the city of Datul.

Lin Feng wants to develop Dadur City into a place for raising horses. It will be the largest horse farm in the three countries of Tiezhen, Xixia and Dazong.

There is water and grass here, and the area is vast. As long as you have money and people, it is not difficult to raise as many horses as you want.
