Chapter 83 Ling Jing's Death
Inside the venue.
The Tiger Warriors charged straight at Wei Shuyu with overwhelming force.
Everyone held their breath.
No one believed that Wei Shuyu's child army could withstand them.
Even Ling Jing couldn't help but feel nervous...
How can we break this deadlock with such a charging momentum?
"Disperse..."
On the high platform, Wei Shuyu held two flags, which extended to both sides.
Splash!
Upon receiving the order, the soldiers immediately dispersed to both sides.
"What!"
Li Shimin's eyes widened.
In normal combat, one should not scatter when facing an enemy charge.
Because if you disperse, the rear base will be lost.
In real combat, this is the phenomenon of desertion.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured."
Cheng Yaojin immediately stepped forward and advised, "Wei Shuyu is courting death by exposing himself to the Tiger Army."
In a battle, it's not always necessary to break the opponent's formation.
Capturing and killing the commander-in-chief is also a victory.
"Um."
Li Shimin nodded.
However, when he looked in the direction of Shuyu, there was no sign of Wei Shuyu anywhere...
Where are they?
Li Shimin's gaze swept across the area, finally landing beneath the tower where he spotted Wei Shuyu fleeing in disarray.
"Has...has the commander-in-chief fled?"
Li Shimin murmured to himself.
Wei Zheng was so angry that his face turned green...
It's just a contest; you won't die if you lose.
What the hell are you running away from?!
Now, not only have I lost the fight, but I've also gained a bad reputation.
"Cough cough..."
Li Shimin coughed lightly: "Xuancheng, when you go back tonight, don't beat Shuyu. He's doing this for the Tang Dynasty."
Li Shimin chuckled to himself, determined not to miss any opportunity to criticize Wei Zheng.
This would both harm Wei Zheng and allow them to obtain the Imperial Seal of the State.
Feeling great.
Turning his head, Li Shimin looked at Ling Jing: "Ling Jing, tell me, where is the Imperial Seal of the State?"
Ling Jing didn't even look up: "You think you've won?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Li Shimin replied smugly.
However, when he looked at the training field, he was stunned.
Because Wei Shuyu's troops also marched towards Cheng Huailiang's tower...
at the same time.
Cheng Huailiang, who witnessed this scene, appeared slightly panicked...
Wei Shuyu and his companions, relying on their agility, kept running away.
The child soldiers, however, charged towards him menacingly.
Below his platform, there were about ten guards, but that couldn't stop forty people.
"Uncle Wang."
Cheng Huailiang began to seek help.
"Don't rush, let's take another look."
Wang Wendu's expression was solemn.
He never expected that Wei Shuyu would cause him trouble.
In real battle, soldiers must obey the orders of their generals.
However, Wei Shuyu's team had its own ideology.
That's right.
This is also one of the characteristics of the Mandarin Duck Formation.
The Mandarin Duck Formation could not stop the fearless charge.
But once they disperse, they can regroup in the shortest possible time...
Because they have a captain!
Each captain is the soul of the Mandarin Duck Formation.
"kill!"
Forty men charged toward the enemy's tower at lightning speed.
Using the head coach as bait is ruthless.
Wang Wendu finally became serious: "Young General, order the soldiers to come back."
"Huh?" Cheng Huailiang was taken aback: "The soldiers are almost catching up with Wei Shuyu."
Wang Wendu shook his head: "If you dare to jump off the tower and run away like Wei Shuyu, we can win, but can you?"
Cheng Huailiang flatly refused.
He was determined to humiliate Wei Shuyu, so how could he possibly run away with his tail between his legs?
“Then let the soldiers go back to reinforce.” Wang Wendu sighed: “We are standing on the high tower, with nowhere to escape. Once surrounded, we will definitely die faster than Wei Shuyu.”
"..." Cheng Huailiang's heart ached.
"Young General, give the order quickly! The soldiers below the platform won't hold out for long. We outnumber them, so victory is assured," Wang Wendu urged.
Seeing that Wang Wendu had said this, Cheng Huailiang had no choice but to obey.
He immediately waved the battle flag and recalled his soldiers.
Whoosh...
His actions left the onlookers completely bewildered.
In the first round of attack, the Tiger Legion returned empty-handed!
Wei Shuyu was in a rather disheveled state.
But he did indeed withstand the first blow.
"Zhijie, what's wrong with Huailiang?"
Li Shimin glared at Cheng Yaojin through gritted teeth.
"Your Majesty, please do not be anxious."
Cheng Yaojin remained calm: "When the Tiger Legion returns to reinforce, they can easily surround Wei Shuyu's troops, and then they will have nowhere to escape."
Li Shimin nodded.
It's a bit troublesome.
But as long as we win, everything can be forgiven.
"Young General, form the goose formation!" Wang Wendu urged.
Cheng Huailiang dared not delay and quickly waved the flag.
Swish...
The Tiger Legion quickly changed formation, transforming into a V-shaped encirclement formation.
"Your Majesty, it's safe."
Cheng Yaojin let out a long breath.
Fortunately, he had arranged for his deputy, Wang Wendu, to be by his son's side.
Otherwise, Cheng Huailiang might actually lose.
"Ha ha……"
However, before Li Shimin could reply, Ling Jing burst into laughter again: "Li Shimin, do you think you've got this in the bag?"
Um?
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin immediately frowned.
"Shuyu's troops are already surrounded. How can he possibly win?" Li Shimin rebuked angrily.
"If your cone formation breaks through Wei Shuyu's defenses in the first wave, he will have absolutely no chance of turning the tide, but..."
Ling Jing said wearily, "The outcome is hard to say now..."
"fart."
Cheng Yaojin roared angrily.
He was the leader of the Tiger Warriors; to say he couldn't defeat Wei Shuyu was an insult to him.
"Then you'll just have to watch..." Ling Jing replied softly.
No one noticed that the weariness in his eyes was growing stronger.
In the field.
The tower's staircase is narrow.
With ten soldiers blocking their way, the child soldiers were unable to break through.
And with the Tiger Legion's return to reinforce...
They had to abandon their attack.
"Form ranks, prepare for battle!"
The four team captains shouted in unison.
Splash...
The forty people immediately formed a "Mandarin Duck Formation"!
"Are we going to fight it out?"
"Definitely, none of the child soldiers can escape."
"Sigh, it's over so quickly..."
The soldiers watching all sighed.
Faced with the indomitable Tiger Army, no one believed the child soldiers would win.
"kill!"
Unexpectedly, the four captains roared and launched an attack.
Shield bearers defend, wolf-tooth rakes harass the enemy, and spearmen follow closely behind.
Their ingenious coordination left the Tiger Legion with nowhere to strike.
In contrast, the child soldiers occasionally managed to defeat a few Tiger Legion soldiers.
"What? How is that possible?"
"This...this is a formation?"
"A bamboo pole can be used like this?"
I didn't understand why the children were carrying bamboo poles.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this.
"Know your place!"
Li Shimin roared and looked at Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin was dumbfounded.
A few bamboo poles were enough to drive back his proud Tiger Army.
This feels a little unreal.
Hearing Li Shimin's shout, he felt a jolt.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, rest assured, Wang Wendu can handle it." Cheng Yaojin wiped away his cold sweat.
Stop dreaming.
Ling Jing weakly asked, "Look up and see where Wei Shuyu is?"
Li Shimin suddenly looked up at the tower.
Wei Shuyu, accompanied by four troublesome soldiers, was secretly climbing the tower.
I'll f*** your mother!
Li Shimin was so angry that his face turned purple.
"Quickly...stop him!"
"It's too late..."
Ling Jing's pupils began to dilate: "Do you know why I trust Wei Shuyu so much?"
"Because they only had about eighty men, yet they repelled over a thousand men who came to assassinate me!"
"Li... Shimin, you... have lost this... round."
Assassination?
What assassination?
Is he the mastermind behind it all?
“Ling…”
Li Shimin turned his head, about to ask something, but found Ling Jing slumped on the ground, his pupils dilated.
"You scoundrel, you still haven't told me the whereabouts of the Imperial Seal!"
Li Shimin pulled Ling Jing up and shook him violently...
"The clue...is...in my...conversation...with...Wei...Shuyu..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Jing died.
