Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 838: Chapter 839: If the Enemy Doesn’t Move, I Won’t Move! (2nd Update)

Inside the commander tent, everyone exchanged glances, seeing that Ling Feng had such terrifying growth in a short time, all were full of admiration.

”This kid, although not skilled in deploying troops and commanding generals, has a profound understanding of human nature, even managing to deceive that old sly dog Old Wu.” The Black-faced General sighed.

”This General Ling has already grown from a naive rookie to a well-behaved leader. This battle is becoming more and more interesting.”

Think tank Jia Wenhe stroked his long beard and laughed heartily.

”Being able to familiarize himself with the sand table and control a million soldiers so quickly, if General Ling stays in the army long enough, he might become an undefeated victorious general in time.”

”Indeed, indeed!” All the other generals nodded, Ling Feng’s performance was indeed beyond their expectations.

Lee Bufan squinted his eyes, a hint of shock flashing through his pupils. This Ling Feng, it’s one thing to have an extraordinary talent in martial arts, but even his military talent is so outstanding?

He himself was forced to study the art of war since childhood and had read quite a few military books, but if he were conducting a sand table deduction with Wu Kui now, he feared he would have already lost.

Although Tuoba Yan and Mu Qianxue couldn’t quite grasp the situation, seeing the surrounding generals clicking their tongues in admiration, it seemed Ling Feng hadn’t been completely defeated.

”However, it seems it’s not easy for Ling Feng to win against Old Wu. The odds of victory should be sixty-forty; Old Wu still has a sixty percent chance of winning.”

”Keep watching, keep watching!”

The generals exchanged a smile. Although Ling Feng’s performance was impressive, they still did not think highly of him. A rookie is still a rookie; even if he learned to deploy troops, Wu Kui’s many years of marching experience was still a formidable factor.

Grand Commander Han Li’s eyes flickered with brilliance, knowing that Wu Kui had already missed the best timing. In the next confrontation, even if Wu Kui won, it would likely be extremely challenging.

In the sandbox battlefield space.

After a brief silence, Ling Feng prepared for action, the fighting spirit of a million soldiers like a rainbow. Now was the best time to launch a counterattack!

”Golden Fire Cavalry, move out!”

At Ling Feng’s command, fifty thousand light cavalry clad in golden armor surged forth like a tide. From the million soldiers’ camp, they orderly charged towards the high slope, quickly entering the forested area. This time, Ling Feng intended to proactively attack Wu Kui’s camp.

All fifty thousand light cavalry galloped swiftly, soon disappearing into the mountains and forests.

The remaining four hundred thousand soldiers still camped in place, unmoving.

Moments later, countless birds fled their nests in the mountains, a chorus of mournful screams echoed as over a dozen severely injured cavalrymen returned from the woods, while the rest of the elite Golden Fire Cavalry had vanished from Ling Feng’s perception.

Fifty thousand went in, a dozen came back, it was almost equivalent to annihilation!

Yet Ling Feng remained unhurried, with a wave of his hand, another fifty thousand troops rushed into the forest. After a brief skirmish, nearly ten thousand returned this time.

”Alright, the purpose is achieved, withdraw to the camp!”

Ling Feng smiled, turned around, and rode back towards the camp.

Wu Kui, watching Ling Feng’s imposing momentum of a million soldiers, was confused by his decision to leave after dispatching ten thousand to their deaths. What on earth was this kid up to?

In the military tent, the observing generals were equally baffled by this suicidal troop maneuvering. What was the intention?

”Grand Commander, what do you think?” The Black-faced General looked at Han Li and asked.

”This kid is very clever,” Han Li smiled lightly, ”For those of you generals present, the edges of the Sky-reaching Fortress are too familiar, but for this kid who has never been to the border, he knows nothing of the terrain here. He dispatched these hundred thousand troops seemingly to die, but in fact, he opened the map, capturing the entire view.”

”It’s the vision!” Everyone nodded repeatedly, suddenly realizing.

”It seems this kid has committed all the terrain within the sandbox area to memory. In the next battle, he won’t be groping like a blind man but rather will have intimate knowledge of every piece of terrain. As such, Wu Kui’s Heaven and Earth Net Strangling Formation will find it hard to maintain an overwhelming advantage.” Han Li continued.

”Amazing, Old Wu has really met a formidable opponent this time!”

...

”Adding the losses from the previous camp raid and losses for scouting terrain and vision, Wu Kui’s forces have lost about twelve thousand soldiers in total, a significant loss, but still within an acceptable range.”

Inside the commander tent, Ling Feng had already hand-drawn an incredibly precise map of the terrain.

In this virtual space of the sandbox, those soldiers’ eyes were Ling Feng’s eyes. Everything they saw was within his grasp. Therefore, with the vision these people opened, Ling Feng succeeded in drawing this map. With the map at hand, many dangers could be avoided.

In the ensuing time, besides training troops, Ling Feng focused on strengthening the defenses of the camp; the enemy doesn’t move, I don’t move!

A rookie must have a rookie’s awareness, compared to an old fox like Wu Kui, he was still too inexperienced.

There’s an old saying, the more you do, the more mistakes you make.

Weaknesses often get exposed through your actions.

On the other side, Wu Kui had been waiting for Ling Feng’s attack, waited a long time but still didn’t see Ling Feng’s troops coming.

”Damn it! This kid clearly has already mastered the skills of deploying troops, yet stubbornly refuses to come out, obviously wanting a direct confrontation with me!” Wu Kui gritted his teeth. With Ling Feng not coming forth, the Heaven and Earth Net Strangling Formation he painstakingly set up became a mere ornament.

To be fair, Ling Feng’s move, although somewhat sneaky, was effective. Previously, he also grew sneakily to achieve the current balanced situation.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he dispatched a five-thousand-man reconnaissance army to appear on the periphery of Ling Feng’s army again.

This elite squad circled around Ling Feng’s camp perimeter, neither attacking nor retreating.

After a brief quiet period, the five-thousand-man reconnaissance force formed into a Long Snake Formation, like a sharp blade, ferociously piercing into Ling Feng’s camp.

Around the camp, there were many defense infrastructures built by logistical soldiers, yet Wu Kui apparently didn’t consider them seriously.

These ordinary scouts, all martial artists of Peak of Pulse Condensation Realm, with their True Qi surging, ordinary defensive works could at most stop the warhorses but couldn’t block the True Qi attacks of these scouts.

Neeeigh!

The warhorses neighed. Just as this elite reconnaissance force was about to cross the horse refusal formation set by Ling Feng, there was a sudden change in the large force within Ling Feng’s camp, as the densely packed left-wing troops suddenly contracted inward, revealing a narrow gap.

No matter where Wu Kui’s reconnaissance force attacked, the personnel quickly retreated, making Wu Kui’s elite division have no room to display their might.

”What?”

Wu Kui, in his camp, leaned slightly forward, utterly astonished.

At this moment, the command level exhibited by Ling Feng when commanding the army was already on par with those of seasoned generals, achieving a commanding victory with zero casualties through his ingenious control.

The growth speed is truly astonishing!

”Charge!”

As the five thousand reconnaissance force deeply penetrated Ling Feng’s camp and crossed the last horse refusal formation, the large troops Ling Feng had contracted suddenly showed their ferocity, shouting and killing shook the heavens, and in an instant, engulfed that batch of elite reconnaissance forces like a tide.

The assault was as swift as lightning, and before Wu Kui could issue any commands, the five thousand elite had already been ”devoured” by Ling Feng in a single bite.

”No... it’s impossible!”

Wu Kui’s heart suddenly contracted. He could hardly believe that Ling Feng could devour his five thousand elites in an instant!

Although five thousand troops may not be many, the speed was so fast that Wu Kui practically had no time to react!

This calmness, seasoned and ruthless, had almost reached the same level as Wu Kui himself.

Now Ling Feng had clearly transformed into a true general!
