The incomparably cruel training back then and Instructor Ling Jian's vicious training methods seemed to have become a sweet memory when he thought about it now! That was a huge mental fortune!
Fifty brothers, other than a few, the rest started from Ling Five all the way to Ling Four and Five! Three years ago, for some unknown reason, all the brothers scattered overnight! No one knew where the other brothers went. When he opened his eyes, he only saw his three brothers sleeping soundly in the tent behind him: Ling Twenty, Ling Twenty-One, and Ling Twenty-Two. Under the orders of the young noble, they had joined the ranks of General Ling, and their duty was to protect General Ling's life from the shadows!
I wonder where the other brothers are now? Are they still fine?
In these few days of battle, Ling Nineteen could vaguely feel that something was amiss! The battle was going too smoothly! The moment Ling Xiao arrived, both sides had indeed fought a few tough battles, and the casualties were not small. However, neither side had suffered any serious injuries!
But … the Northern Wei was not a match for them, and there were even signs of them retreating! There seemed to be too many unusual traces!
The Northern Wei had two hundred thousand soldiers, so how could it be so easy to defeat them? Even though Ling Xiao was careless, he still had the foresight of a veteran general when it came to grasping the situation of a battle! Originally, he only wanted to fight steadily and steadily, and was satisfied with just defending Yan County. But the few newly promoted generals who were the personal attendants of the Emperor all wanted to send out their troops to expand the battle results! Under Ling Xiao's annoyance, he had no choice but to send his troops out to battle. If they were to hit a wall, they would probably stop.
Unexpectedly, things did not go as planned. These people were really quite capable, and they actually won the battle consecutively. They even managed to drive the Northern Wei's army a hundred li away, and the morale of the three armies was even higher.
But because of this, the generals of the various battalions could no longer hold themselves back. That's right, a great merit was right in front of them. As long as they defeated the Northern Wei in one go, they would be conferred the title of Marquis, and their wives and children would be at their fingertips. Their future was practically a golden path, so who wouldn't be envious of it? In the end, even a few generals who were usually mature and prudent began to clamor.
Ling Xiao repeatedly sent out scouts to check, but they didn't find anything out of the ordinary. Left with no other choice, he could only comply with everyone's opinion and lead the troops north!
Along the way, the Sky Bearing army emerged victorious in every battle with the Northern Wei! Even the ambushes that the Northern Wei had put in so much effort to set up were easily broken through by the army. Instead, they threw away their armor and fled in a sorry state. The Sky Bearing army had a smooth journey, advancing triumphantly! After the consecutive victories, everyone was in high spirits and full of confidence. They all felt that they would be able to break through the Northern Wei Imperial City in the next moment and return victorious. After chasing for two hundred miles, they were already in the Northern Wei!
Such a situation caused Ling Nineteen and the other three generals to feel extremely uneasy! Their strategic foresight was not something an ordinary person could compare to. Especially the fact that the situation in front of them was just too smooth, smooth to the point that it caused them to be worried. The four of them had already sent a messenger pigeon to the Ling House three times, but they still hadn't received a single reply from the young noble. Especially on this point, it made the hearts of the four people even more uneasy. Due to the uniqueness of the Ling Family Courtyard and the restriction of secrecy, the few of them did not bring their best Kite Eagles over. They still used the ancient messenger pigeons to send messages.
As long as the young noble received the news in time. He definitely wouldn't ignore the possibility of his father falling into a trap! But why didn't he reply after such a long time? Perhaps, there was only one possibility?
Behind him, a rustling sound could be heard and a person came out from the tent, sitting beside him. "Brother Nineteen." Ling Nineteen turned around and under the faint starlight, he could see a young and tender youth with a cold aura. Under the moonlight, the youth looked at him with a pair of sparkling eyes.
"Little brother, why aren't you sleeping properly? There might be a huge battle waiting for us tomorrow. "Ling Nineteen frowned. The one who came out was the youngest of the four, Ling Twenty-two.
"Brother Nineteen, I feel that something is not right." Ling Twenty-two frowned. Although Ling Nineteen was the eldest here, the other brothers were used to addressing him as they were in the Ling House. Only when they addressed him as such would they feel a sense of pride in their hearts! They were young noble Ling Tian's men and were young noble Ling Tian's trusted subordinates!
"En, something is indeed not right." Ling Nineteen lowered his head and wiped the clean white handkerchief on his saber once more before speaking in a low voice, "I still have an ominous feeling. It feels very oppressive, like a prelude to a storm. "
"That's not all I'm saying." Ling Twenty-two's face was heavy. "I suspect that our army has already entered a huge and well-planned trap. Brother Nineteen, I wonder if you've noticed that we've already sent out three messenger pigeons to contact the young noble? There's a first and second time, but it shouldn't be the third time! But not a single one has returned! I suspect that our messenger pigeons have already been intercepted! If that's the case, then it's certain that it's a trap! "
"That should be the case." Ling Nineteen's expression was calm as he sheathed his saber and patted it lovingly. "Fortunately, the contents of our messages are all from the young noble, so there's no need to worry about the possibility of it being leaked. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult to handle. "
"But even if that's the case, the young noble must be very anxious to not receive any news from us." Ling Twenty-two continued. "Brother Nineteen, this situation is too passive. Since our messenger pigeons can be intercepted, then there must be a huge ambush on the way back! What if the young noble is a wise man and carelessly sends reinforcements? I'm afraid he will be ambushed by the enemy! If the young noble is ambushed because we didn't send out any news, even if the young noble is heaven-defying, how will the four of us have the face to continue living in this world? Shouldn't we send one of us to inform the young noble?! "
Ling Nineteen fell into deep thought for a long time before shaking his head. "The mission that the young noble gave us is to ensure the safety of General Ling! No matter what, this must be our top priority. We are obviously in danger now, so we cannot afford to split our forces! We can only think of a way to contact Sixth Brother and the rest. It's best for them to take care of this matter. "
Ling Twenty-two stood up impatiently. "What if the young noble comes but … what do we do?"
Ling Nineteen laughed confidently. "Little brother, do you really think that there's anyone in this world who can successfully ambush the young noble?"
Ling Twenty-two was stunned for a moment before laughing. "That's true! The young noble is so resourceful, so how could he fall for the schemes of these small fries? "
Ling Nineteen was about to speak when his expression suddenly turned serious and he perked up his ears. "What's that sound?" Ling Twenty-two's expression changed and he suddenly fell to the ground, feeling the ground trembling slightly.
"Enemy attack!" Ling Twenty-two jumped up with an ugly expression. "They're coming from all directions!"
"Send a message to the camp immediately!"
"Yes!"
Within the tent, two 'sou' sounds could be heard and two more figures dashed out. The four of them looked at each other and did not say anything. Each of them took off in a different direction. The next moment, the sound of gongs could be heard. The Sky Bearing soldiers who were deep in sleep were jolted awake! They did not know what to do!
"There's an enemy attack! All camps prepare for battle! " A clear shout could be heard throughout the camp and everyone's face turned solemn as they woke up from their sleep.
The sound of hooves could be heard from all directions and it was as though the mountains were collapsing. With the pressure of Mount Tai, the soldiers charged towards the Sky Bearing army! Battle cries could be heard from all directions and it was deafening!
Ling Nineteen quickly leaped onto the flagpole and looked around. All he could see were enemy soldiers everywhere, densely packed together. In the distance, he could even see long fire dragons approaching rapidly. Those were the soldiers who had joined in the attack with torches in their hands. As Ling Nineteen looked over, he could not help but take in a breath of cold air!
Didn't the intelligence report say that the Northern Wei only had 200,000 soldiers? But looking at the situation today, not to mention 200,000, even 400,000 wouldn't be enough to stop them! Where did they gather such a large number of soldiers from? Did they fall from the sky?! Even if they fell from the sky, there should be a sound. That would mean that there were over 200,000 soldiers, not just 20 but 200!
Ling Xiao walked out of the commander's tent with his armor neat and tidy. This was his habit in the army. Even if it was peaceful, he would wear his armor to sleep. Even though he was a little tired, he would never make any mistakes. Glaring at them, he shouted, "What are you panicking for? It wasn't easy for us to wait for them to arrive. Let's just kill them all! " Strangely enough, the moment Ling Xiao's arrogant words left his mouth, the soldiers around him felt their hearts calm down and their emotions stabilized! Looking at the burly figure of their commander and the sharp gaze in his eyes, all the personal guards immediately shouted, "Kill them all!"
Their shouts spread far and wide, and responses came from all directions. "Kill them all! Kill them all! Kill! Kill! Kill! "
Instantly, the commotion caused by the enemy's attack calmed down. Which one of the soldiers present here was a veteran who had experienced hundreds of battles and rolled around between life and death? After the initial panic, they quickly regained their composure.
Ling Xiao leaped onto his horse and shouted, "I am Ling Xiao! All soldiers, listen to my orders! Kill the enemy! No one is allowed to retreat! F * ck, kill them all for this daddy! Our army will win! With me around, we are invincible! "His rough voice was filled with a domineering confidence!
"Understood! Our army will win! With me around, we are invincible! "His voice was like a landslide! All the soldiers were filled with fighting spirit! The composure and fighting spirit of their commander infected everyone! The enemy was close! The closest one was just a stone's throw away!
Ling Nineteen and the other three had already surrounded Ling Xiao and heaved a sigh of relief. As long as the morale of the soldiers was not broken, Sky Bearing would still have 100,000 soldiers! While it was impossible for them to win, if they wanted to protect Ling Xiao and break out of the encirclement, it wouldn't be difficult at all!
Right at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
"The enemy is here! Hurry up and run! "
A mutiny broke out at the front of the camp. The front line of the army and the left and right flanks had 10,000 soldiers each. They were originally led by the three favored ministers of the Sky Bearing Emperor, Long Xiang. At this moment, with a sudden swoosh, they split into two sides like a knife. Then, like a receding tide, they actually retreated to both sides. They actually scrambled to flee for their lives at the most critical moment of the battle!
As such, Ling Xiao's army was completely exposed to the attack of the enemy!
