Li Ting arrived at a place called Mingzhu Mountain through a secret passage.
Two hundred thousand troops were assembled here and named the Flying Tigers.
Li Ting produced the tiger tally, and the crowd shouted three times, "We swear to be loyal to our lord to the death!"
This army was also led by the ancestors of the Li family, and it was always used as a surprise force to save the Nan Chen Kingdom from dire straits in critical moments.
After the military power was used up, it would be returned to the emperor.
Whoever holds the tiger tally is the one who gives orders.
This time, Li Ting did not reveal his true face, but instead wore various masks that Chen Sanduo had made for him.
Da Gui was taken from Xiao Sheng by Li Ting and followed Li Ting. He was incredibly strong and had a huge appetite; most families couldn't afford to raise such a servant.
Li Ting's intention in keeping Da Gui by his side was to make the best use of Da Gui's innate superhuman strength, so that Da Gui would become Xiao Sheng's right-hand man in the future.
Generals who have seen battlefields, fought wars, and battled to the death are more likely to yearn for peace and will not easily launch wars.
If Da Gui were to achieve merit and gain reputation on the battlefield, he would have more supporters in the Crown Prince's camp for Xiao Sheng.
After assembling the soldiers, Li Ting gave them a general overview of the current situation in the northwest of Nanchen Kingdom.
Some of the soldiers had actually been in the Northwest Army and knew that the Great Liang Kingdom was invading.
However, although Zhao Yunchen was capable, he didn't have many.
In peacetime, the difference between guarding the border and Li Ting is not apparent, but once war breaks out, the difference becomes worlds apart.
The Great Liang Kingdom is pressing forward relentlessly, and they are almost at the Northwest Army's garrison.
Everyone was anxious, but this battle strategy was utterly terrible and could not possibly repel the invading army of the Great Liang Kingdom.
It was at this time that they received the order to assemble.
They all bear the mark of the Southern Chen Kingdom's royal family, and upon retirement, the mark is passed on to their chosen successor.
The rules are passed down from the previous owner of the mark.
The soldiers in this army also included ordinary civilians, minor officials, and small merchants.
Most of them were from martial families in the Northwest.
In the entire Nanchen Kingdom, there are specialized military schools in every region, where students can study for free.
During the off-season, they would take the insignia to the military academy to train their bodies.
Once they produced the mark, no one dared to stop them.
Zhao Yunchen was so overwhelmed with fighting that he had no time to care about the soldiers leaving.
After assembling the Flying Tigers, Li Ting had everyone rest for a night and told the soldiers the purpose of the gathering.
The purpose was to disperse the forces of the Great Liang Kingdom that were besieging the northwest, and incidentally, to also besiege the Great Liang Kingdom and extract some benefits from it.
The second priority is to take back 1.5 million square kilometers of land.
Early the next morning, they broke camp and left.
Looking at the map, Li Ting circled the place where he could strike the Great Liang Kingdom the fastest, most ruthlessly, and most accurately—Modo Town.
Modo Town is only fifty li away from Xiagu Pass, a military stronghold of the Great Liang Kingdom.
Once Modo Town is captured and occupied, the Great Liang Kingdom will inevitably have to send troops to its rescue. Otherwise, if Li Ting were to advance unimpeded and capture Xiagu Pass, he could strike at the heart of the Great Liang Kingdom.
The army chose a path unknown to others.
This area was deserted, and by the time the spies from the Great Liang Kingdom discovered the Flying Tiger Army, they didn't even have time to assemble their forces.
The reason why the defenses of the Great Liang Kingdom were so lax was because the military forces in the northwest were concentrated under Zhao Yunchen.
They never expected that the Southern Chen Kingdom would have such a formidable force.
This secret force has not been used for nearly a century.
So the world has forgotten that the Nan Chen Kingdom still has such an army.
When Li Ting led 100,000 troops to the walls of Moduo Town, the smoke of war rose everywhere in the Great Liang Kingdom.
Another 100,000 troops are lying in ambush in the forest 30 miles away from Modo Town.
Before Li Ting set off, Li Xingran taught him how to conceal the army's tracks.
Fortunately, Li Xingran was well-read and understood the methods of modern warfare.
Yuchi Mingjun learned that Moduo Town was under siege and that Moduo Town only had 30,000 troops.
With 30,000 against 200,000, there's no chance of winning.
When asked which general from the Southern Chen Kingdom was leading the troops, the scout could not answer.
It was only mentioned that no general was seen leading the troops, and the flags were flying the name of the Flying Tigers.
I have never heard of an army like the Flying Tigers in Nanchen Kingdom.
Yuchi Mingjun quickly mobilized troops from various places.
Unfortunately, the reinforcements arrived too late, and Modo Town was captured by Li Ting without any effort.
When Yuchi Linhai, a capable general of the Great Liang Kingdom, saw the unfamiliar figure wearing a mask standing on the city wall of Moduo Town, he was shocked that the Southern Chen Kingdom had produced another general with extraordinary talent.
Li Ting walked steadily on the city wall.
General Yuchi Linhai of the Great Liang Kingdom knew that it was definitely not Li Ting.
Because Li Ting's limp was partly due to him.
That limp was so severe that no one in the entire Cangxuan Continent could possibly cure him.
Unfortunately, they were too confident and didn't know that Li Ting had the peerless physician Fan Zu'an.
Yu Chi Lin Hai led an army of 100,000 men and lingered under the walls of Moduo Town for three days, unable to win a battle or find a breakthrough.
Li Ting didn't want the stalemate to continue.
During the day, Li Ting sent a message by carrier pigeon, instructing the 100,000 troops ambushed 30 miles away to break camp and head towards Modo Town at 11 PM.
Late at night, Li Ting led his troops out of the city, which together with another 100,000 Flying Tigers troops formed a siege against Yu Chi Lin Hai.
Yuchi Linhai was captured alive by Da Gui.
Li Ting still did not show up, but only sat in the car and gave orders.
In this battle, the Great Liang Kingdom suffered a crushing defeat, with countless deaths and injuries.
After Yuchi Linhai was captured, Li Ting left 80,000 Flying Tigers to guard Moduo Town and led 130,000 Flying Tigers to advance towards Xiagu Pass.
The emperor of the Great Liang Kingdom had no choice but to order Yuchi Wudi to lead his troops back to defend the country.
The predicament of the Northwest has been resolved.
Zhao Yunchen remained silent for several days, only to discover that the Liang army had withdrawn, leaving him completely baffled.
They quickly dispatched scouts to gather information.
Scouts reported that the Flying Tiger Army, a surprise force from the Southern Chen Kingdom, had captured Modo Town and was advancing towards Xiagu Pass.
Yuchi Wudi had no choice but to return to defend and provide reinforcements.
Zhao Yunchen dared not use his private troops this time, fearing exposure.
The newly developed weapons were never used on the battlefield.
Upon learning of the newly emerged Flying Tigers, Zhao Yunchen's first thought was to recruit this force.
However, his subordinates reported that a number of soldiers in the Northwest Army had suddenly disappeared and their whereabouts were unknown.
Zhao Yunchen was shocked.
They quickly ordered a headcount and discovered that as many as 30,000 people were missing.
Then investigate these missing soldiers; these soldiers have been soldiers of the Northwest of the Southern Chen Kingdom for generations.
The rest are nothing special.
Li Ting continued his journey, stopping at several villages along the way.
The captured prisoners of war were treated well. Upon reaching the outside of Xiagu Pass, they set up camp.
