"Reporting!"
A voice filled with surprise sounded from afar.
"General, the scouts are back!" A deputy general looked over and said.
Ling Xiao turned around like a whirlwind, his eyes shining, "Send them in!"
The six scouts entered the tent and knelt down on one knee, "Reporting to commander, there is great news!"
Ling Xiao's gaze was calm, "What is there to be happy about?"
One of the scouts in the middle said, "The six of us did not see any traces of the enemy along the way. We went straight to the top of Mourning Soul Mountain. On the north mountain of Mourning Soul Mountain, the enemy's two thousand soldiers and horses were all killed. The mountain seemed to have been burned down by fire.
Another scout said with joy, "It is the same on the south of the Mourning Soul Mountain. Not a single one of the 2,000 enemy troops was left alive. There are also traces of fire on the mountain. "
Ling Xiao's eyes opened wide, "Is this true?"
The six scouts knelt down together, "This subordinate is willing to give a military order!"
One of the scouts said loudly, "This subordinate went up the mountain and saw that the Western Han camp was in a mess."
Ling Xiao stood up abruptly and shouted, "Pass down the order to the three armies, mobilize the entire army! Wang Fangzhi! "
"This subordinate is here!"
"You will lead 10,000 troops to attack the Western Han and delay the Western Han troops! Set off immediately! "
"This subordinate obeys!"
"Li Mingyang! Zhang Meng Qi! The two of you will lead 5,000 troops each and occupy the north and south of the Mourning Soul Mountain! "
"This subordinate obeys!"
"The rest of you will follow this commander to fight with Han Shize!"
"Yes!"
Ling Xiao urged his horse forward and pondered as he walked. He was still filled with doubts about this bizarre matter. The two mountain peaks had already sent out signals to indicate that their troops had successfully occupied the mountain peaks. Ling Xiao was even more bewildered. He had purposely delayed the advance of his troops to prevent the enemy from scheming. Who would have thought that the two armies would not face any resistance at all and would smoothly occupy the mountain peaks! The moment the mountain peaks were occupied by the Sky Bearing army, then even the greatest scheme would be useless. Could it be that there was another group of troops helping them in the dark? How come I didn't know about it?
All the generals knew that Ling Xiao was a god-like strategist. They all thought that the enemy troops on Mourning Soul Mountain were secretly dealt with by Ling Xiao's men. They all came forward to congratulate him. Ling Xiao couldn't deny it, so he could only give a vague answer.
The army increased their speed, and in less than a moment, they had already passed through the canyon. Everyone was greatly surprised!
Only Wang Fangzhi and his 10,000 men were stationed alone at the front. The Western Han army was nowhere to be seen. Looking at the ground where the Western Han army used to be, there were tents and flags scattered all over the ground. Occasionally, there would be a bright light reflecting off of them. It was actually weapons left behind on the ground. It was obvious that the Western Han army had already retreated. Furthermore, they had retreated in an extremely hurried manner. There were still two tents that were emitting green smoke. These two tents were actually filled with rations!
Ling Xiao furrowed his brows! It was obvious that someone had helped him in secret. But the inexplicable part was, where was the person who was secretly helping him? Since they had helped him so much, why didn't they show themselves?
Wang Fangzhi urged his horse over, his face full of doubt. "Marshal, when our army arrived, the Western Han army had already retreated tens of li. Unexpectedly, not a single person was seen. This is strange! "He scratched his head, a puzzled look on his face. He had originally wanted to make a good contribution this time, so that he could follow the Marshal back to the capital. Who would have thought that before he had even drawn his sword, the enemy had already fled!
Ling Xiao pondered deeply, but he couldn't find a single clue. Thinking back to the battles he had fought in the past few years, at almost every crucial moment, he would inexplicably win. There were several times when the enemy's commander mysteriously fell ill and died during the battle. Connecting this to today's matter, Ling Xiao could already be sure that there was a mysterious force secretly helping him!
After receiving such a great favor, he couldn't even see the person's face! Ling Xiao let out a long sigh! However, these mysterious people didn't seem to have any enmity towards him, and were purely here to help him. However, he was completely clueless about this, and it was extremely mysterious! Since ancient times, there had never been such a situation where he had won so mysteriously. In the past few years, Ling Xiao had actually won every battle, becoming a figure that the armies of the various empires feared!
No matter what, the Valley of Sobbing Spirits that everyone dreamed of had already fallen into the hands of the Sky Bearing army! From now on, this place would definitely become the Valley of Sobbing Spirits for the Western Han army!
Ling Xiao waved his hands in frustration, saying, "Reorganize our defenses and occupy the Valley of Sobbing Spirits. We must definitely turn the Valley of Sobbing Spirits into an insurmountable moat! Half a month later, we will return to the capital. "
As he finished, he didn't wait for a reply and left on his horse. Looking at Ling Xiao's back view, everyone was puzzled. He had obviously obtained such a huge victory, but why was their Marshal so depressed?
Capital. Ling House!
Under the dense grape trellis, Ling Tian was half lying on a bamboo chair with his eyes narrowed. Behind him, a peerless beauty in a snow-white dress stretched out her slender hands and gently massaged Ling Tian's shoulders. Her expression was sweet and peaceful, and her pair of beautiful eyes were filled with boundless satisfaction. It was as though just staying by Ling Tian's side and massaging his shoulders was already a great blessing for her!
With a soft 'shua' sound, a black-robed figure jumped over the wall and entered.
Ling Tian's eyes were still half closed, and his expression didn't change at all. However, the eyes of the white-robed girl behind him were filled with coldness, and the smile on her face disappeared. Replacing it was an icy coldness, and her gaze was like a knife, sweeping towards the black-robed figure.
The black-robed figure immediately felt a chill run down his spine, and hurriedly took a few steps forward, kneeling down on one knee in front of Ling Tian, "Subordinate Ling Jiu pays his respects to young noble!"
Ling Tian made a soft 'oh' sound, indicating that he understood.
The black-robed figure stood up and bowed respectfully to the white-robed girl. "Greetings, Miss Chen!"
The coldness on the white-robed girl's face didn't disappear, and she didn't even lift her eyes as she continued to massage Ling Tian's shoulders, but the coldness in her eyes had disappeared.
The black-robed figure immediately felt his body relax, as if he had been pardoned. He hurriedly took out a letter and handed it over with both hands. The white-robed girl gently waved her hand, and the letter that was originally in the black-robed figure's hand was now in her hands.
The black-robed figure seemed to be used to this, and wasn't surprised at all. "In the battle of Mourning Soul Mountain on the Western Han front, Feng Mo and Sun Tie led a thousand men in two teams, and Ling Chi successfully assassinated Han Shize in the midst of the Western Han army, and retreated unscathed. At present, Marshal Ling's troops have completely taken over Mourning Soul Mountain and Weeping Soul Valley. "
Ling Tian made a soft 'oh' sound again, as if he had expected this result. He said lightly, "Oh, Ling Chi went. How are the casualties among the brothers? "
Ling Jiu said in a deep voice, "Fifty-three died in battle, forty-one were seriously injured, and one hundred and thirty were lightly injured. Brother Sun Tie's right shoulder is also wounded."
Ling Tian's body shook. "The losses are so great? Even Sun Tie was injured? Who led the troops this time? "
Ling Jiu's body trembled. "Five hundred from Yue Chao's three thousand men to attack South Mountain, and five hundred from Li Han to attack North Mountain." He had been secretly praying that Young Master would not ask about this matter, and now that Young Master asked about it, he knew that these two people were in for it.
Ling Tian straightened his body and glared at him fiercely, "Tell me everything at once, what are you hiding? Do you still need me to ask you bit by bit? "
Cold sweat suddenly appeared on Ling Jiu's pale face, but he didn't dare to wipe it off. He stood even straighter. "Of Yue Chao's five hundred men, forty-three died, ten were seriously injured, and ninety were lightly injured. Of Li Han's five hundred men, ten died, thirty-one were seriously injured, and forty were lightly injured."
Ling Tian frowned, and there was a hint of anger in his voice. "What the hell is Yue Chao doing? The ratio of casualties is so great! Tell Feng Mo that Yue Chao's troop training needs to be increased. Yue Chao himself will receive twenty rods, and each of his captains will receive twenty rods each! As for Li Han, let Feng Mo reward him himself. "
Ling Jiu finally had the time to wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead, and thought to himself. "Using five hundred men to wipe out two thousand men, with only thirty plus casualties, this is already a glorious victory no matter where it is. Only in Young Master's place, not only are they not rewarded, but they will also be punished with rods! But Li Han is indeed a bit of a freak, comparing the two, of course Young Master would be angry. "
Ling Tian lay back down and closed his eyes. Behind him, Ling Chen waved to Ling Jiu and said, "You can leave now. Report to me if anything happens."
Ling Jiu felt as if he had been pardoned, and bowed. His body was like a withered leaf blown by the wind, and in the blink of an eye, he floated to the top of the wall and disappeared in a flash. After going back and forth, no one in the Ling House noticed him!
