As an official, what's wrong with raising a few monsters?

Chapter 98 Using oneself as bait, the battle begins
Ling Yu seemed to have finally made up her mind and said to Qu Yangshu.

"What? General Ling, are you joking?"

Qu Yangshu restrained his smile, frowned slightly, and looked at Ling Yu closely.

He knew that Ling Yu came to him to discuss the matter, which meant that it was not a small battle like a small-scale night attack, but a major battle that required the mobilization of the entire army.

"Don't you know that the envoys from the capital have already set off?"

"This war is over."

At this time, just to be safe, do nothing.

What was this person thinking? Going to war at this time?
Wouldn't it be better to just wait for the war to end? Why create more trouble?

"Will the war be ended if an envoy is dispatched?"

"General Qu, you and I are both soldiers. How can we cede land and betray our master in exchange for peace?"

Ling Yu shook his head, looking at the general with a burning gaze: "Why not strike back with all your might, rout the enemy army, and make them afraid to fight back, leaving your name in history and earning you a title of nobility and chancellorship?"

"Defeat the enemy? Become a marquis or prime minister?"

Who would want to go back with a stigma of humiliation?
What Ling Yu said was a bit offensive, but Qu Yangshu didn't care at all.

He narrowed his eyes and asked him with interest, "What do you think, General Ling?"

He didn't question the other party.

The main reason is that Ling Yu is too powerful.

Since coming to the North, I have not made a single mistake, and everything I said has come true.

She must be sure of what she said now.

What a great achievement it would be to defeat the enemy!

If he wins, he, as the top leader, can enjoy the greatest benefits.

Even if they lost, Ling Yu, the proposer, would be the scapegoat.

There's no harm in hearing her thoughts.

This man doesn't look like a general. There is no murderous aura on him. Instead, he looks like a businessman, with a commercial look in his eyes.

Ling Yu looked at the man deeply, then led him into the camp and walked to the sand table.

"General, please look..."

……

At night, in the Beilie military camp, a disheveled figure returned quickly.

"Who?!"

The patrolling soldier raised his spear and shouted sternly.

"Quick, let me into the barracks. I have something important to report to the general!"

The man waved his hands vigorously and shouted loudly.

……

"General, I'm back."

In General Beilie's tent, the returning soldiers were filled with excitement. They looked at the tall and majestic figure in front of them with eyes full of admiration.

"Are you, Zhang Xing?"

Sitting on the main seat, Tian Hong looked at the kneeling soldier, frowned, and finally remembered the other's name.

Since Ling Yu arrived in the northern border, he has been enforcing military discipline and strictly investigating spies.

Most of the spies sent out by Tian Hong were caught, and even if they were not caught, no news came back.

Ling Yu's actions are inherently agile and strange, and his deployment of troops is both real and fake, making it difficult to predict.

Bei Lie also didn't know where the two main generals Ling Yu and Qu Yangshu were, and didn't know the deployment of the troops, so they were in a passive position recently.

And Zhang Xing was the spy that Tian Hong had sent out earlier.

Seeing that the general still recognized him, Zhang Xing was filled with excitement. He put his hands on the ground, leaned his head towards the general, and said urgently, "General, there are only 3,000 people in the Qianyuan Central Army now. The general of the three states, Qu Yangshu, and the newcomer Ling Yu are both there."

"Qianyuan is about to send an envoy to Beilie to sue for peace. The Qianyuan army is demoralized and the defenders are slacking off."

"I hope the general will quickly assemble his army, attack Qianyuan's central army, kill Ling Yu, and break through Zhenling Pass. Our army will surely win!"

Zhang Xing was a little anxious, and spoke quickly about the information worth tens of millions of gold, his words a little broken.

"what?"

Tian Hong's thoughts moved when he heard this, and his voice couldn't help but rise a little.

But then, he frowned again and asked him, "How do you know? How did you come back?"

"Reporting to the General, I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears."

"Today Ling Yu rewarded the three armies, and the defense was slack, so I sneaked back at night."

Tian Hong looked at him deeply and nodded gently: "Yeah."

……

"General, I am willing to be the vanguard, let me fight!"

"General, I will definitely be able to capture that demon Ling Yu alive."

"General, I can chop off Qu Yangshu's head!"

……

Zhang Xing had completed his mission as a spy and was sent away to rest.

The rest is for the general to do.

The entire camp seemed to be a little more lively. Several generals looked at Tian Hong eagerly and spoke as if they were competing for something.

This is an opportunity!
Defeating the enemy army and killing the commander is an achievement that is hard to come by.

No matter what they want to do, the commanders of the three armies must not put themselves in danger.

Ling Yu's current behavior is like putting the military district command headquarters on the front line.

Once Ling Yu and Qu Yangshu are caught or killed.

The entire Qianyuan army will collapse immediately.

Tian Hong's expression remained calm, and no one could know what he was thinking. He just stared quietly at the military formation sand table in front of him.

The tent was extremely quiet, and everyone was waiting for the leader to make the final decision.

"Report~"

"Report to the General, the Qianyuan Central Army has spotted Ling Yu and Qu Yangshu's flags and drums."

The messenger's report was heard outside the tent.

Tian Hong immediately said decisively: "Shen Weitao, Ge Kang, Chai Chenze... Gather the officers and soldiers from all the divisions of the right army and the center army. Yu Jun will lead 3,000 cavalry as the vanguard. Tomorrow at 11:00 AM, we will attack Qianyuan's center army directly."

"The last general takes command!"

"Yes!"

Several generals were excited and followed orders to leave, leaving only one person behind.

Tian Hong stayed in the tent, looking at the sand table quietly.

The disciple of the God of War is worthy of being the disciple of the God of War. He is indeed very capable. For a whole month, he didn't let Tian Hong find any opportunity.

Instead, it pushed the front line back a little.

They have been stuck here for too long. If the stalemate continues, the Beilie Army will also be in trouble.

Killing the general and seizing the commander, this is too tempting!

This is an opportunity. Even if it is a bait, Tian Hong must take it.

This battle must be fought, and we must send the most elite troops to fight it to ensure that there is no room for error.

"Ling Yu, what do you want to do?"

He looked at the sand table, lowered his eyes slightly, and murmured softly.

The coach's brazen appearance in front of the enemy line was a death sentence, no matter what his plan was.

"Brother, what should I do?"

The remaining general asked Tian Hong.

Tian Hong didn't even look at him, but said calmly, "You will be in charge of the central army tomorrow. If anyone gets confused, you will be responsible for bringing them back."

"Huh? Me?"

Tian Guang was a little confused and couldn't help asking, "What about you, brother?"

In a sense, this is a decisive battle between the two sides.

The opposing team's main generals are all here, won't Tian Hong go into battle?
Tian Hong shook his head and said, "I'll go to Zuo Jun."

"Ok?"

……

The next day, the sky was bright.

"kill!!!!"

"Ling Yu!!"

"Anyone who kills Ling Yu will be rewarded with ten thousand gold coins."

On the battlefield, flags were flying and sand was blowing in the wind.

The soldiers' eyes were red and they kept roaring.

Led by the vanguard Yu Jun, the three thousand death squads bravely advanced.

Behind them, a huge army was forming a black mass and was surrounding the Qianyuan military camp.

Following their gaze, they saw a figure in a cloak and black armor, sitting atop a tall horse, surrounded by thousands of soldiers. Ling Yu.

In just one month, this name became well known to the Beilie soldiers.

If the Qianyuan Army respected Ling Yu, the Beilie Army was resentful of Ling Yu, the general who had repeatedly frustrated them.

Seeing Ling Yu appear so openly.

Behind her was the pale-faced general Qu Yangshu.

If Beilie's side was excited, Qianyuan's side was the complete opposite, nervous. The army looked a little embarrassed and hasty.

When Ling Yu and the other two appeared here, they instantly detonated the entire Beilie Army.

"kill!!!"

The generals were excited, holding their weapons high and shouting to their soldiers.

Tens of thousands of enemy troops rushed towards the thousands of Qianyuan troops like tigers and wolves.

There was even some loss of discipline and control.

With so many of them attacking Ling Yu’s command center of several thousand people, they will definitely win.

They even have to fight for the spoils.

That’s the enemy commander!

Whoever can seize this achievement will soar to the sky from then on.

"Ling Yu! You lied to me!!!"

The enemy army rushed forward in a black mass, with the momentum to tear people to pieces.

Qu Yangshu behind him widened his eyes. The fear oppressed him so much that he ignored his composure and lost his mind. He kept yelling at Ling Yu.

How come there are so many people?

Wouldn't these thousands of soldiers be shattered if touched by anyone?

Ling Yu told him that this trip should be safe and the enemy would not know his location.

He just needs to come here to take the credit, and he secretly gave the best position to his son.

This madman, what on earth does he want to do? !

"General Qu, I didn't lie to you."

Ling Yu looked at the surging enemy army and glanced at the crazy Qu Yangshu expressionlessly.

She just blurred some things and didn't report them to the other party.

The battlefield before me was noisy and the enemy was coming in full force.

The terrifying military force seemed to be able to crush people.

But she remained calm and just shouted loudly: "Soldiers, follow me and kill!!!"

……

"General! General! There are too many enemy troops. Retreat!"

"We can't retreat if we're surrounded!"

How could more than 3,000 people defeat tens of thousands of Beilie's elite soldiers?

Soon, there were dead bodies everywhere, blood was splattered, and faces familiar to Ling Yu fell on the battlefield.

This is war, this is death.

Qu Yangshu had already escaped.

Shengzi beside her became a little anxious and couldn't help shouting at her.

Ling Yu was covered in blood. He looked up at the bright sun in the sky and nodded gently: "Retreat!"

"Chase!!!"

"Ling Yu was defeated!"

"Come on!"

Beilie's soldiers watched Ling Yu retreat, their eyes red and they shouted loudly.

Tian Guang looked at the scene and frowned slightly.

The soldiers were a little confused because of the victory and honor that were so close to them.

He just shouted, "General Shen, don't lose your composure."

Ling Yu retreated and Beilie's army pursued him.

The battle line was very long, and Ling Yu galloped on horseback.

Arrows flew past his ears, and pursuers were roaring behind him. The soldiers around him were covered in blood and were not in good condition. There were only about two thousand of them left.

Ling Yu raised his head and could see a pass in the distance.

That was Zhenling Pass, the last retreat Ling Yu left for himself in this battle.

suddenly,
"Whoosh!"

The sharp arrow flew through the air and accurately hit the belly of the warhorse under Ling Yu's crotch.

"Hey~"

The horse felt pain, suddenly raised its front hooves, neighed in pain, and shook wildly and uncontrollably.

Ling Yu frowned, pushed himself up with his arms, and moved quickly. Before the horse fell, he jumped off the horse and landed lightly on the ground.

"General!!!"

Seeing Ling Yu in trouble, Shengzi's eyes widened and he couldn't help but scream in surprise.

"Ling Yu has fallen!"

"Ling Yu has fallen!"

There were bursts of excited shouts coming from behind.

"Ling Yu! Take my halberd!"

The enemy pursuers came roaring and a strong wind blew in their faces.

The halberd came with great force, smashing towards Ling Yu's head.

"when!"

Ling Yu held a spear in his hand, and with a thrust of his arms, he blocked the opponent's powerful blow. The immense force sent the spear shaft resounding with a teeth-grinding sound.

Looking up, I saw a burly man with a fierce smile. He looked like a general of medium size, holding a halberd.

And behind him, the enemy troops were endless.

She is a martial arts master, but as she had told Mingchen before, a martial arts master cannot defeat thousands of troops.

Just looking at this endless military force is enough to make people feel suffocated.

"Good! As expected of Ling Yu, I am the vanguard Yu Jun. Today..."

Seeing that this seemingly weak Confucian general blocked his attack, Yu Jun couldn't help but grin and praise him.

In his opinion, Ling Yu, who had caused them a lot of trouble, was doomed.

However, the next moment, before he could finish his words, his whole body trembled, his eyes widened like copper bells, and his voice stopped abruptly.

But a little blood was splattered, and the tip of the gun accurately pierced his throat.

"thump!"

The body fell to the ground.

Ling Yu put away his gun, his face calm as water. He didn't care about defeating an opponent's general. He just raised his head to look at the sun in the sky, and then fixed his gaze on the present.

The army is like the sea, endless.

Her eyes were gleaming with scarlet light, her face was stern, and she only shouted loudly: "Kill!!!"

Thousands of troops versus tens of thousands of troops!
The roar of the determined general was deafening.

……

At the same time, behind the Beilie Army's front line.

The elite troops of the central and right armies were all sent out to attack Ling Yu.

In the left army, Tian Hong frowned and stared at the Qianyuan military camp in the distance.

Ling Yu's central army had been penetrated, but the right army hadn't made any move to support the commander. This gave him a bad feeling.

The sky above was clear, but suddenly the wind blew and sand and stones flew.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The sound of war drums suddenly rang out and flags fluttered.

The right army of the Qianyuan Army, with soldiers far exceeding the usual number of garrisons, formed a battle array and attacked.

"Report!"

"General, a large number of enemy troops suddenly appeared in Qianyuan's right camp. The number has exceeded 70,000 and they are heading straight for our army."

The messenger's panicked voice rang out.

Tian Hong looked at the sand table in front of him and finally sighed helplessly: "Sure enough... he is really a madman!"

Seventy thousand troops, Ling Yu transferred all the remaining troops here.

Use yourself as bait and burn your boats.

Sure enough, the young man who studied under Hou Buchen would not give anyone an opportunity to take advantage of him.
