THE LING TIAN LEGEND
episode 73
Report!”
A loud voice, filled with shock, sounded from afar.
“General, lookout back!” A division commander looked before saying.
Ling Xiao turned around quickly as he said with sparkling eyes, “Call him quickly!”
Six scouts enter, with dust all over their bodies, and kneel down, “Report to the general, this is good news!”
Ling Xiao replied calmly, “What's the good news?”
One of the scouts replied, “When the six of us came out this time, we did not meet the enemy until we reached the top of the Mountain of Mourning Soul. Two thousand enemy troops north of the Mourning Soul Mountain died mysteriously. The mountain was also on fire, leaving nothing behind. ”
Another scout then said excitedly, The same “Hal also happened on the south side of the Mourning Soul Mountain. There was not a single enemy force left from the mountain. There are also traces of burned mountains.”
Ling Xiao's eyes widened in shock as he asked, “Is this real?”
The six scouts kneeled together, “Your subordinates are willing to make a military promise!”
A scout then shouted, “When this subordinate arrived at the top of the mountain, the military camp fell apart for some reason.”
Ling Xiao then stood up and ordered, “Command three troops, we leave! Wang FangZhi!”
“Sini!”
“You will order an army of 10,000 men to attack Western Han to delay the Western Han troops! You will be leaving soon!”
“Your staff received the order!”
“Li Ming Yang! Zhang Meng Qi! You two will lead 5000 people each to occupy the northern and southern faces of the Mourning Soul Mountain!”
“Your staff received the order!”
“As for all of you, you will follow this general to battle against Han ShiZe!”
“Roger!”
Ling Xiao led the troops in front as he was perplexed by this strange occurrence. Troops on two sides of the mountain had sent their signals to indicate that their forces had occupied the top of the mountain. Ling Xiao deliberately slowed down the speed of their main force to guard against possible enemy plans. However, he had never expected that his two vanguard forces had faced no resistance at all and had easily occupied the top of the mountain! As their troops occupied the mountain peak, any form of scheme would be rendered useless. Don't tell me there's another army helping us in secret? Why don't I know about this matter?
All the generals knew that Ling Xiao had the mastery of a god-like army and thought that he was secretly sending troops to guard the Mourning Soul Mountain. Thus, they all came forward to congratulate Ling Xiao. Unable to resist them, he could only humbly respond to them.
The army then sped up and passed through the canyon in no time. As their destination drew near, they were all extremely shocked!
There was only Wang FangZhi with his 10,000 troops stationed there. There was not even a single trace of Western Han troops. The only thing they saw was the Western Han tents and flags all over the floor and every now and then there was something sparkling on the —th floor obviously the weapons left behind. It was clear that the Western Han forces had retreated long ago, and were also in a hurry. There were still two tents with green smoke billowing from them, filled with enemy rations!
Ling Xiao started to frown! He could clearly tell that there must be someone helping him in secret. But, he was at a loss as to where this person who helped him was. Why didn't he reveal himself after giving her such great help?
Wang FangZhi then came to Ling Xiao and said in a daze, “General, when our troops arrive, the Western Han troops have already retreated tens of miles away. None of them are visible. It's weird!” As he said that, he rubbed his head in frustration. He originally wanted to achieve the feat here so that he would be able to return to the capital with his head held high. However, he never expected the enemy to escape even before he unsheathed his sword!
After receiving such great help from the other party, he couldn't even see who the other party was! Ling Xiao let out a long breath! But, this mysterious man doesn't seem to be hostile to me. It seems he is here to help me. But why do I not know about him at all? This matter is too strange! Since ancient times, there has never been a situation like this. In these past few years, Ling Xiao would definitely win every battle he fought, becoming a character feared by every troop!
No matter what, this Soul Mourning Mountain and the Weeping Spirit Valley were finally in the hands of the Sky Bearing troops! From now on, this place will definitely be the sanctuary of the souls of the Western Han soldiers!
Ling Xiao then waved his hand miserably and said, “Transit into defense and occupied the Soul Mourning Mountain. We must definitely make the Soul Mourning Mountain a barrier that no one can cross! We will return to the capital half a month later!”
As he said that, he did not wait for an answer and returned with his horse. As the other generals looked behind Ling Xiao in confusion, “Why does the general look so depressed? Didn't we just win a great battle?”
The capital, Ling's house!
Ling Tian half-layed on the bamboo chair with his eyes closed. Behind him, a beautiful woman in a white dress reached out like jade and gently massaged Ling Tian's shoulders. Her expression was extremely sweet with a sense of satisfaction in her beautiful eyes. It was as if the happiest thing in the world was that he remained by Ling Tian's side and massaged him.
With ‘desir’ barely audible, a man dressed in black walked in by flipping the wall.
Ling Tian's eyes were still closed and his expression did not change. However, the white-clothed woman behind him turned cold as the smile on his face disappeared. Replacing him was a cold gaze as his sharp gaze swept past the black-clothed figure.
The man in black clothes then shuddered for a moment and took a few steps forward. When he was in front of Ling Tian, he knelt down and said, “This branch pays respect to the young noble!”
Ling Tian then replied gently ‘oh’ to acknowledge the greeting.
The man dressed in black then stood up and cupped his fists politely towards the woman dressed in white, “How are you, Miss Chen!”
The coldness on his face did not diminish in the slightest and did not even look up. He simply continued massaging Ling Tian's shoulder as his cold gaze involuntarily disappeared.
The black-clothed man, Ling Jiu, felt his body relax as if he was being saved. Then, he quickly took out a letter from his chest and handed it over with both hands. The white-clothed woman then waved her hand gently as the letter involuntarily fell into her hands.
As if he had gotten used to it, the black-clothed man was not surprised as he said, “Feng Mo and Sun Tie lead a thousand people to the Soul Mourning Mountain. Ling Chi had managed to kill Han ShiZe and retreat safely. Now, General Ling has taken full control of the Soul Mourning Mountain.”
Ling Tian then replied gently ‘oh’, as if it was all within his expectations. Then, he asked calmly, “Oh, Ling Chi is leaving. What are the casualties of the brothers? ”
Ling Jiu said solemnly, “53 deaths, 41 serious injuries, and 130 minor injuries. Brother Sun Tie's right shoulder was also injured.”
Ling Tian's body trembled, “His loss is so great? Even Sun Tie was injured? From whom was the army taken? ”
Ling Jiu trembled as he said, “From the 3000 people that Yue Chao had, we took out 500 to attack the southern mountain. We also brought 500 people from Li Han to attack the northern mountain.” He secretly prayed that the young noble would not ask about this matter. Now that the young noble had asked about it, he knew that the two of them would be in trouble.
Ling Tian then sat up straight and looked at Ling Jiu, “Tell me everything at once, what to hide? You still need me to ask you little by little? ”
Ling Jiu's pale face started to sweat but did not dare to wipe her. He stood more upright when he reported, “From 500 soldiers from Yue Chao, there were 43 deaths, 10 heavy injuries and 90 minor injuries. Of the 500 troops from Li Han, there were 10 deaths, 31 heavy injuries, and 40 minor injuries.”
Ling Tian frowned and said in frustration, “What is Yue Chao doing? More deaths than heavy injuries! Tell Feng Mo that the training for Yue Chao's troops should be increased. Yue Chao would receive 20 military sticks. All the captains under him would also receive 20 military batons! As for Li Han, let Feng Mo reward him accordingly. ”
Ling Jiu finally had a chance to wipe his sweat as he thought, “Establish 2000 soldiers with 500 soldiers with only 30 plus deaths. If this was placed anywhere, it would definitely be an incredible record. Only when it was in front of the young nobles would they have to accept punishment instead! But that Li Han was really very perverted. If the two were to be compared, it was no wonder that the young noble became enraged. ”
Ling Tian then lay down and closed his eyes. Then, Ling Chen waved his hand at Ling Jiu and said, “You can go. Report if there is a change.”
As if he was spared from the torment, Ling Jiu took a bow and floated above the wall as if he was a leaf blown by the wind, disappearing in the blink of an eye. As he came and went, no one in the Ling family had managed to find his presence!
