The King of the Warring States Era - C29

Relying on his intuition and his past experience on the battlefield, Chen Ling could feel that this sneak attack was not that simple. Especially before he walked out of the camp, Gan Mao’s calm smile made him feel an ominous feeling.

“Yes sir!” Although these Chieftain s and elders could not understand Chen Ling, they were all willing to obey his orders.

Teng Hu moved closer to Chen Ling and asked: “Chen Ling, are you sure that the Qin Army will set up an ambush here?”

This was one of the methods used by the ancient soldiers to listen to the enemy from the side. If the cavalry passed, the scouts would then be able to hear the sound of the urn and determine the number, distance and weight of the enemy, as well as some of the experienced scouts. They would even be able to differentiate between the different war nations based on the pace of the cavalry, the rhythm of the Armour’s rubbing against the ground, and the types of horses.

After a while, the fight between the big battalions in the distance became even more intense. The flames soared to the sky, and the sounds of killing shook the earth, as though they were moving towards the right camp from the direction of the main camp. Wei Army also started to counterattack, gradually narrowing the battle circle.

Teng Hu was slightly anxious: “Chen Ling, Qin Army is retreating towards the right camp, and will be besieged by Right Army and the main army soon. Do we still need to wait here?”

Chao Gai, Uncle Hou, Yang Rui and the others also looked at each other in dismay.

Chen Ling’s expression was calm, but he was actually a little uncertain. After all, it was the first time he had led a troop out of the camp, and he had never experienced anything like this before. He was shaking his flag uncertainly, and just as he was hesitating, a scout suddenly ran over and reported in a low voice, “Report … Reporting to Academy Officer, the brothers ahead heard the sound of light horse hooves, about two to three hundred people, and they are still three kilometers away from here. It seems to be the Qin Nation’s Eagle Feathered Guard! ”

There were no more than five thousand people in the entire nation, and all of them were elite soldiers that were chosen from the army of a thousand. With one man against ten, it could be considered as a special forces, yet they had actually appeared here.

Hearing the urgent report, Chen Ling’s spirits immediately rose, he vaguely guessed a few clues, and smiled: “Wait for them, ambush them all, prepare to stop this Eagle Guard!”

“Hey …”

The two thousand men were lying in ambush, pulling ropes, crampons, and the recently chopped logs. Arrows were nocked, crossbows aimed, all on standby.

“Giddy …” Three hundred riders quickly galloped towards the forest, their bodies covered in black armor, black cloaks, and crossbows. They carried a long bronze iron sword on their backs, and their mounts were blue maned war horses with their heads covered in iron armor. At night, these cavalry soldiers rushed past like black ghosts, full of murderous intent and strangeness.

“It’s really the Qin Army, a troop even more elite than the Black Armored Army of the Qin Nation. The Eagle Guard who sneaked an attack on the posterior camp previously came here on foot, this time they mounted a horse, sure enough they are brave and mighty!” Chen Ling muttered to himself, holding onto his treasure sword, he was ready to give the order to fight at any time.

Just then, the Qin Army had already entered the ambushing circle. A general who was dressed in armor, Qi Zhengxiong, carrying a halberd, said, “General Gan, this time I have made you suffer, hmph, Dong Zhiqi never dreamed that we would be able to save the general from the inside and take a detour to the south, and lead the main force to the north. As long as the general returns to the Crooked River, in the future, we will reform our army and destroy the Wei Army.

Chen Ling was secretly shocked when he heard it: Gan Mao was saved again in the blink of an eye? Damn it, this old man had gone through so much trouble to capture him alive, yet he couldn’t even protect the entire Wei Army camp!

“Wait until we capture that brat called Chen Ling, then we’ll definitely tear him into a thousand pieces!”

“If we don’t kill Chen Ling, we won’t be able to pacify the Qin Nation!”

A few generals and personal guards were indignant and indignant, while some of the Eagle Guard s even hated Chen Ling to the point that they let the Qin Nation suffer the humiliation of the battlefield. In the past few decades, after Shang Yang changed his methods, the Qin Nation had left the Hangu Pass in the east and fought hundreds of battles, almost defeating all of the Eastern Kingdoms. However, this time, the Eagle Guard was surrounded and killed by the leadership of a hundred thousand strong army.

However, Gan Mao was neither sad nor happy, and said indifferently: “It’s normal to win or lose, if you don’t have this kind of magnanimity, how can it contain the major events of the world, Chen Ling is a talented person, but unfortunately, I cannot use him, it’s a pity!”

Just then, “putong” “clang” “sounds came from Eagle Guard who was in front. The Knights in the front row cried out in surprise, and with a miserable scream, they toppled over and blood splattered in all directions.

Before the blood in the air had even dropped to the ground, their hooves had already trampled the warhorses and the human body on top of it, creating a chaotic mess.

“Not good! There’s an ambush! Everyone be careful! Protect the general!”

Whoosh whoosh whoosh … * The bowstring trembled, and the arrow pierced through the air. A wave of cold arrows shot out, and the miserable cries of the Eagle Guard could be heard.
