He only rested for a short while, and it only took him an hour. Li XiangDong supported his heavily injured body and walked forward, "Commander, there is a mountainous area in front of us. The rumored One-Line Sky is located here! The One-Line Sky is a strategic location and there is a saying that one man can hold the pass against ten thousand men. It is the best place for us to wait for reinforcements! As long as we can rush there and pass through the One-Line Sky, we will be safe for the time being. As long as our soldiers take turns to guard the mountain pass, we will be able to wait for reinforcements to arrive. "
Ling Xiao nodded his head, "That is how it should be. This matter should not be delayed! Inform the brothers that we'll set off immediately after a little more effort! We will rush to the One-Line Sky! Once we reach there, we will be able to rest and reorganize! "
"Commander, I feel that there is something wrong with this matter!" Ling Twenty furrowed his brows and walked forward, "This One-Line Sky is indeed the best place for us to stay, but the risk seems to be even greater! Since the enemy has spread out such a huge encirclement and mobilized no less than four hundred thousand men, how could they neglect such an important place like the One-Line Sky? To put it bluntly, if there is an ambush here, we will definitely be blocked in the One-Line Sky. At that time, we will be in a precarious situation with no way out and troops chasing us from behind! The day of our destruction is not far away. I hope that the general will reconsider! "
Originally, Ling Twenty was only a personal guard and did not have the right to express his opinion. However, in the previous battle, the four of them had displayed their might and decisiveness, far surpassing the others. Even famous generals were impressed by their bravery. Furthermore, Ling Twenty's words were not without reason. Thus, Ling Xiao had no choice but to reconsider!
"Little brother Ling's words do make sense. However, little brother Ling's words are also correct. For this battle, the Northern Wei has mobilized no less than four hundred thousand men. Since the One-Line Sky is the border between the Northern Wei and the Western Han, even if the Northern Wei really has an ambush, they will not have a lot of men. After all, the mobilization of such a large number of troops will definitely lead to a backlash from the Western Han. I believe that we can definitely take it down. " Li XiangDong analyzed from Ling Twenty's point of view. He didn't completely deny Ling Twenty's concerns and continued, "Besides that, the direction we chose to break out of their encirclement is definitely out of the expectations of the enemy. Who would have thought that we didn't break out in the direction of Sky Bearing where their troops are the weakest but chose to break out in the direction where their troops are the strongest? Just this point alone is something that the commander of the Northern Wei would never have expected! "
As he spoke, Li XiangDong's boorish face revealed a look of sadness, "What's more, our army is currently weary and exhausted. Our combat strength has sharply decreased. With only a remnant of our spirit, there are no other strategic places for us to occupy. No matter what, Frontline Heaven is our only choice, our final choice! "
Ling Twenty let out a long sigh and remained silent. He had to admit that Li Xiangdong's words made sense. Although he still felt that One-Line-Sky wasn't a safe place, there was no other choice! Even if it was a gamble, it was time to gamble. Right now, they could only bet that One-Line-Sky would be taken down as soon as possible!
With his many years of experience as a commander, Ling Xiao could faintly feel that something was amiss and lowered his head in contemplation.
The ground trembled slightly and at the end of his line of sight, the densely packed soldiers were closing in again!
Ling Xiao didn't hesitate any longer and waved his hand, "Everyone, get on your horses! Take down One-Line-Sky as quickly as possible! "
The soldiers who had rested for a short while got on their horses again and galloped forward. Ling Twenty let out a sigh and chased after them.
Wei Chengping laughed heartily, "Brother Shui, they really didn't manage to escape from your meticulous plan and are really heading straight for One-Line-Sky. This time, we can let Ling Xiao have a good time with the Western Han troops. "Although he was laughing, there was a pained expression on his face. As the crown prince of a country who had always lived like a prince, when had he ever followed an army into battle? After such a long journey, his inner thighs were already red and swollen, and the pain was unbearable.
This time, he didn't want to come personally, but he was really worried about leaving the army to Shui QianHuan. Furthermore, Shui QianHuan's identity was special, so there was no reason for Wei Chengping not to accompany him. Helplessly, he could only follow along. How could he have known that riding a horse, which he used to treat as a pleasure, was actually such a difficult thing to do now that he was on horseback for a long time! He was already filled with regret. It was just that Shui QianHuan was right in front of him, so he couldn't say it out loud. Otherwise, he would definitely be looked down upon.
Actually, how could he know that in Shui QianHuan's eyes, he was just a useless second generation!
Shui QianHuan looked at the pained expression on his face and said indifferently, "Ling Xiao isn't dead yet, so the battle isn't over yet. Before the end, any accidents and variables can happen, so don't be happy too early! Only when Ling Xiao's head is placed in front of me will I truly be at ease! "
Wei Chengping shifted his butt on the horse and laughed dryly, "Even if Ling Xiao is a deity, he will definitely not be able to escape from the palms of our 400,000 strong army. Brother Shui can be at ease, with brother Shui's divine foresight, Ling Xiao will definitely die! Hahaha … "
"400,000 strong army?" Shui QianHuan muttered under his breath and said coldly, "Do you think that we still have 400,000 soldiers? For such a strong army to not be able to be used by me, it is my greatest regret! "
Err! Wei Chengping was at a loss for words. Regret?! Aren't I even more depressed?! In today's battle, with Ling Xiao leading the Sky Bearing elites to break out of the encirclement, together with the previous losses, the 400,000 strong army had already lost more than 50,000 people! Such a heavy price was something that even a cold-hearted person like Wei Chengping could not help but feel shocked. Especially after the battle had come to an end, Wei Chengping could not believe that even with six times the number of troops, there were still so many casualties. Hearing Shui QianHuan's words, he could not help but sigh, "Our losses are indeed huge. The strength of the Ling army is also a level above the rest. However, as long as we can eliminate Ling Xiao, our Northern Wei can still afford to pay this price. "
Shui QianHuan let out a cold laugh and thought to himself, By the time Ling Xiao's army is wiped out, it would already be a miracle for your 400,000 strong army to have more than 300,000 left! She really didn't want to see Wei ChengPing's smug face again, nor did she want to hear him flatter her again. She turned her face away and thought to herself: Why hasn't Rou 'er come back yet? To deal with a mere Ling Tian, is there really such a huge delay? Or is there some other obstruction?
Countless cavalrymen galloped past Shui QianHuan and dust filled the plains, almost covering the sun and moon in the sky!
*****
The Swallow County was already in sight!
Ling Tian and the other four were even more anxious than before! Their horses were already sweating profusely with foam coming out of their noses and mouths. It was obvious that they could no longer hold on!
The sound of war drums could be heard and a group of troops charged out from the mountain pass. They were dressed in the uniform of the Sky Bearing soldiers and the person in the lead shouted, "Halt!"
"I'll stop your mother! Since when did the Flying Dragon Special Forces become bandits?! "Ling Tian scolded anxiously. Along the way, the five of them had already been obstructed multiple times! While Ling Tian was enraged, his heart also calmed down. Since there were obstructions, it meant that the battle was not over yet. His father should still be alive and fighting with his life on the line. If not, these people would definitely not send themselves to their deaths despite knowing that they could not stop them. Their goal was only to stall for more time!
However, they never expected that their obstructions would not have any effect at all! Instead, they would only be throwing their lives away!
As the two parties drew closer, the general in the lead did not hesitate and waved his hand, shouting, "Release the arrows! Kill without mercy! "In that instant, a rain of arrows rained down and the sound of arrows whistling through the air filled the air.
Ling Tian made a hand signal and the five of them leaped off their horses at the same time. They were like dragons soaring through the nine heavens and cranes dancing through the nine heavens! They shot up to a height of 50 feet and dodged the rain of arrows effortlessly. When they landed, they were already in the midst of the Sky Bearing army! At this moment, Ling Tian and the other four's horses let out a sorrowful neigh as countless arrows pierced into their bodies and they fell to the ground like five huge porcupines!
Ling Tian and the other four landed on the ground at the same time and a strong gust of wind blew past Ling Kong. In just a single spin, more than ten generals fell off their horses! Miserable cries could be heard. The five of them quickly snatched a war horse each and leaped onto it, turning their horses around. Ling Tian roared, "Those who block me shall die!" The saber in his hand swung out and a white light flashed in the air. The eleven soldiers in front of him screamed in pain as their heads were chopped off!
Ling Jian dashed out from the side and rushed up before Ling Tian. Wielding the spear that he had just snatched, he stabbed out like a torrential rain, causing a large number of people to be thrown off their horses! Ling Chi, Ling Feng, and Ling Yun also did not show any mercy. Every time they struck out, there would definitely be a few soldiers falling off their horses!
The five of them did not hold back and began a massacre. In an instant, blood splattered everywhere and limbs flew everywhere. However, they were like a sharp awl and did not stop at all as they sped through the crowd of soldiers, leaving behind a trail of blood and death! As the five of them advanced, the path behind them turned into a blood-stained alley! The soldiers were shocked to realize that not a single one of them was injured under the attacks of the five of them! Anyone who exchanged a single blow with the five of them died on the spot! There was no exception and the way they died was even more miserable! If it was light, their heads would be separated from their bodies. If it was heavy, their bodies would be dismembered. What a frightening method!
After a wave of killing, they had already broken through the formation of the soldiers. Ling Tian did not even turn back as he urged his horse forward! Ling Jian, who was at the back, let out a sinister smile. Suddenly, he leaped up and stood firmly on the back of his horse. Turning around, he weighed the spear in his hand and suddenly threw it out! Landing on the back of his horse, he laughed loudly and sped away!
The general who was leading the troops was drenched in cold sweat as he watched his troops turn into a pile of corpses in just a few breaths of time! His eyes were almost spasming as an uncontrollable chill rose from the bottom of his heart. Following that, he suddenly felt a sense of relief. Ling Tian and the other four had directly entered the battle formation and slaughtered their way out. They did not even have the time to exchange blows with him and actually managed to leave him alive! Wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, he could not help but exclaim with lingering fear, "That was close! We were really lucky! "
Right at this moment, the remaining soldiers suddenly exclaimed in unison. The general who was riding on his horse was at a loss as he thought to himself, The enemy has already left, what are you guys still exclaiming for? Just as he was thinking that, he suddenly realized that a black bolt of lightning had appeared in front of him! Following that, he realized that his body had suddenly flown into the air.
