After Jiang Ling killed Lin's father, he immediately turned around and ran towards the Sun family's military camp.
The secret guards who had just fought side by side and killed the enemy in blood, under the order of the quick-reacting Jiang Xing, some of them chased Jiang Ling while others cleaned up the scene.
As they killed, they shouted in unison: "Sun's secret guards killed the head of the Lin family. Murderers, stop!"
Following this shout, Jiang Jie smiled with satisfaction and said, "It's done!"
Finally, the blame was passed on to the secret guard.
The real Lin's father, who was hiding in the tent, sneered and said, "They've really taken action! According to the plan, let our army become chaotic and retreat immediately."
After hearing this, Duke Sun, who was lying in ambush near the assassination site, looked towards the chaotic noble barracks and laughed heartily, saying, "The plan went well. The noble soldiers are in disarray. Start the attack!"
Jiang Jie was stunned when he heard the report that Sun's army was attacking.
"So fast! The timing is so perfect!"
If it had been earlier, he wouldn't have launched the assassination attempt on Lin's father. If it had been later, he could have calmly dealt with the noble soldiers. After integrating them, their strength would have increased instead of decreased, and he wouldn't have been afraid of Sun's attack at all.
And the Sun family actually launched an attack at this time, which put him in a passive position!
Jiang Jie didn't believe that such precise timing was a coincidence!
A thought struck him, and he asked, "Go and ask if Jiang Ling is dead?"
The secret guard beside him immediately went to inquire.
But that is a matter for the future. Now, we must face the sudden attack of Sun’s army!
Jiang Jie immediately left the general's tent and began to organize military advisors to stop the enemy.
Father Lin looked at the Sun army and the Jiang army fighting again, with an expression that said, "As expected."
"Quickly retreat, we don't want to get involved in this mess."
The noble soldiers looked very chaotic, but in fact they evacuated the battlefield in an orderly and rapid manner.
Jiang Jie and Sun Guogong She both discovered the fleeing noble army. Jiang Jie was very angry, and Sun Guogong secretly felt sorry, but neither of them chose to split up their troops to pursue them, but instead fought to the death with the opponent's main force.
The death of Lin Fujiang and the desertion of the noble soldiers dealt a heavy blow to the morale of Jiang Jie's army. Facing the sudden attack of Sun's army, they did not gain the upper hand and win victory after victory as they had in the previous military exercises.
Instead, they were at a disadvantage and were constantly retreating. They even panicked and large groups of soldiers deserted.
Jiang Jie was somewhat inexperienced in facing such a situation. Relying on his combat school-level strength, he impulsively rushed forward and challenged Duke Sun in a duel.
The Duel between Lords took place once at the very beginning of the martial arts performance. It was not in a melee, but a one-on-one duel in front of the two armies.
This was a tradition between the two lands, showcasing the lord's absolute strength before the two armies and rallying morale.
Because it was a performance, neither of them used their full strength. They symbolically fought for dozens of moves and ended in a draw.
Therefore, both of them knew that the other's level was combat school, but who was stronger and who was weaker, who would win and who would lose, could only be known after a fight!
Although Duke Sun does not have the Tiandao Mercenary System, he is a genius in cultivation. After being tempered by many battles, he has reached the middle level of the combat school and has extremely rich combat experience.
He was not comparable to someone like Jiang Jie, who had quickly mastered the art of combat. When the two of them attacked with all their might, they were quickly at a disadvantage.
The duel between the lords also had a significant impact on morale. Morale, already low due to the murder of Lin's father, was dealt another blow as Jiang Jie was at a disadvantage in the duel, causing morale to plummet again.
Sun's military advisor, who coordinated the deployment in the rear, noticed that the enemy's morale had dropped again and decisively increased the intensity of the attack.
Lin's father was killed, and in the confrontation with Jiang Jie, Jiang's army suddenly lost its commander of the central army. The disadvantages were not obvious at the beginning, but gradually the disadvantages became apparent.
The Jiang army fought on their own, and when they found they were no match for the enemy, they began to retreat. At first it was individuals, then teams, and finally the entire army retreated.
During the duel, Jiang Jie roared angrily: "No retreat, no retreat!"
However, it was of no use. Jiang's army was quickly defeated!
Jiang Jie was distracted and was discovered by Sun Guogong, who attacked him and injured Jiang Jie.
After losing the duel again, he was so angry that he shouted, "Duke Sun, you sneak attack!"
Duke Sun curled his lips and said, "Little friend, this is war! It's not a game of house. There's only victory and defeat, nothing else."
As he spoke, his attacks became faster and more fierce! Every move was aimed at Jiang Jie's vital points!
The injured Jiang Jie had no power to fight back. In desperation, he could only fight and retreat! When he saw a gap, he turned around and ran!
Duke Sun was suppressed by Jiang Jie's army some time ago. Now he has finally defeated the enemy. How could he let them go easily?
"The whole army is in pursuit! I am invincible!"
Duke Sun roared and chased after Jiang Jie.
The military advisor watched from below as Duke Sun, who had already disappeared after chasing Jiang Jie, sighed helplessly, "It's like this again! Once the fight starts, they go crazy! They don't care about anything!"
The military advisor and Duke Sun had been partners for over a decade, and they had long since developed a tacit understanding. Despite some complaints, the orders kept coming, and the pursuit only intensified!
Jiang Ling held Lin's father's head and stood not far from the military advisor, looking at the one-sided battlefield in the distance, with mixed feelings in his heart.
After all, these soldiers who were killed were his compatriots. Seeing them being harvested by Sun's army, a trace of pity flashed through his heart.
"What? Can't bear it anymore?" The military advisor finished issuing orders and stepped down from the podium to rest. Seeing Jiang Ling not far away with a look of reluctance on his face, his expression changed and he stepped forward to ask.
Jiang Ling immediately put away his reluctance and replied, "My Lord Military Advisor, I do feel a little bit reluctant. However, I understand that the battlefield is ruthless and everyone serves their master. So, although I feel a little bit reluctant, I don't have any sympathy. Because if the Jiang family wins, I will definitely die!"
The military advisor laughed and said, "As someone who once led the secret guards, you have some perspective on the overall situation and know what is right and wrong. Since you have already surrendered to the lord, you should change your stance in a timely manner. You should understand what is beneficial to you and what is not! Believe me, every lord will be the most ruthless towards traitors!"
Jiang Ling shuddered and immediately said, "Yes, Master Military Advisor, I understand. I will do my utmost to help you, my lord, defeat the Jiang family, and even annex them!"
Jiang Ling naturally understood the Jiang family's hatred for traitors!
The original secret guard was responsible for this matter.
There are many such records in the volumes of the secret guards.
When he had examined the scrolls before, he had already felt that it was too cruel. Now that he had become a traitor, he felt empathy and fear even more.
