Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 839: Chapter 840 The Name of the Military God! (3rd update)

Clip clop!

The 5,000 troops had just been engulfed when the sound of hooves rang out once more. Wu Kui commanded 5,000 elite soldiers to attack again. This time, Wu Kui divided his men into 180 small units to charge and harass Ling Feng’s main camp from all directions.

The five formations under Ling Feng’s command held their positions, raising heavy shields, allowing Wu Kui’s troops to probe and harass. After a while, Wu Kui’s forces had only managed to kill a few dozen soldiers at the edges, losses so negligible they were almost insignificant.

Finally, the 180 small units clustered into a great army. With a wave of Wu Kui’s command flag, the elite force was united and once more pierced into Ling Feng’s formation like a sharp blade.

Ling Feng employed the same tactic again, avoiding direct confrontation, waiting for the troops to penetrate deeply and then swallowing them whole.

However, this time, after the troops reached deep inside Ling Feng’s camp, they quickly dispersed, reforming into 180 small units. At this moment, the troops had already entered the domain of Ling Feng’s Light Armored Soldiers. Encountering these cavalry, the result was predictable - slaughter!

Nonetheless, Wu Kui had high hopes. His troops moved as swiftly as the wind, but Ling Feng responded even faster. Just as these Light Cavalry dispersed, a massive contingent of Earth Dragon Heavy Cavalry suddenly charged out from within Ling Feng’s camp!

The Earth Dragons inherently suppressed horses by bloodline, and in an instant, this cavalry became utterly disorganized!

Ling Feng’s Earth Dragon Heavy Cavalry brandished their great swords, swiftly reaping the lives of these Light Cavalry. Once again, the 5,000 troops were slaughtered in an instant, while Ling Feng’s side sacrificed fewer than 500 ordinary soldiers.

”This... this is impossible, it’s impossible!”

In the Commander Tent, Wu Kui was so frustrated he nearly spat out blood. If the first time was due to a lack of preparation, this was the second time!

The second time, he had calculated precisely, entering the Light Armored Soldiers’ area to trade his 5,000 for at least 50,000 of the enemy’s Light Armored Soldiers. Yet, he unexpectedly entered Ling Feng’s encirclement.

What does this mean?

Ling Feng had already begun to predict his intent, preparing ambushes and then smashing the opponent with one decisive blow!

”What a terrifying talent. I am beginning to understand why the Grand Commander values General Ling so much. He is a born military strategist!”

Inside the military tent, all the soldiers’ eyes revealed astonishment. The command artistry just displayed by Ling Feng was on par with, or even surpassed, anyone present!

From his first encounter to now commanding thousands of troops, it had only been a matter of moments!

”The Grand Commander truly has a unique eye!”

”If our Northwest Army had more military geniuses like General Ling, it would be unstoppable!”

People marveled at Ling Feng’s talent and Han Li’s discerning eye, yet no one noticed the slight awkwardness on Han Li’s face.

In fact, his expectations of Ling Feng were high, but Ling Feng’s performance exceeded his imagination!

”The Art of War says: use the normal to engage, use the unexpected to win. If Old Wu’s Art of War is the unconventional path, then General Ling’s is the conventional path. Their showdown is a battle between the unexpected and the conventional.” The Think Tank Jia Wenhe remarked.

Wu Kui’s warfare was cunning and varied, using surprise troops to secure maximal enemy loss with minimal forces.

Meanwhile, Ling Feng’s strategy was like an unyielding mountain, using the unchanging to counter the myriad changes, standing firm no matter the cunning or tactics.

An unconventional and a conventional commander style portrayed an incredibly thrilling military contest.

”This youth is indeed a commanding talent! If he studies military strategy formally, the title of Military God would undoubtedly belong to him.”

Han Li took a deep breath, his expression solemn as he spoke.

”Military God?” The crowd was amazed. In the past hundred years, besides Ling Feng, no one else had received such high praise from Han Li!

Bear in mind, this Grand Commander was over 200 years old and had guarded the Sky-reaching Fortress for more than 150 years.

...

”I never imagined that the Art of War books given to me by General Deng would be so incredible!”

Ling Feng’s eyes shone with a hint of exhilaration. That General Deng, capable of being appointed the YingYang General, was certainly not a reputation squandered in vain.

”Hmph, even if you’ve grasped some basic military tactics, so what? Compared to me, you’ve got a long way to go!”

On the opposite side, Wu Kui, after having his elite troops engulfed by Ling Feng twice, was burning with True Fire, having roamed the battlefield for decades, yet now continuously suffering setbacks at Ling Feng’s hands.

Wu Kui was unwilling!

Losing in terms of strength was one thing, but losing in his own area of expertise, how could he continue to lead the troops!

”Kill! Just kill them for me!”

With a wave of Wu Kui’s battle flag, his 100,000-strong army launched an attack directly at Ling Feng’s camp. This was the first time such a scale of forces had been deployed after all this time of engagement.

Woo!

The war horn blew, and dense Sky White Soldiers appeared on the high slope. As the cries of battle echoed, the 100,000 elite troops charged down, each carrying a huge killing intent, representing Wu Kui’s rage.

”Heh, heh, more people?”

Ling Feng smiled. After those mostly ineffective skirmishes, Ling Feng finally went all out!

”All troops attack!” Ling Feng roared, and the remaining 4 million troops under his command were fully mobilized!

Step! Step! Step!

The movement of the massive army shook the ground with thunderous roars, as this mighty force, divided into five units, each with over 900,000 troops, charged majestically at Wu Kui’s main camp.

”Ah!” Screams of agony echoed one after another.

The 100,000 Sky White Soldiers who just charged down the slope were like stones thrown into the sea compared to the 4 million-strong force, disappearing without a trace!

Kill!

Kill!

Kill——

The tidal wave of the Tianyang Army advanced, synchronized with thunderous shouts, swiftly annihilating the 100,000 Sky White Soldiers, then proceeded to ascend and overrun the high slope. This time, for the first time, Ling Feng’s battle flag was planted on that high slope!

”Young people today, have they already started strutting around with their tails in the air after such a small achievement?”

Despite losing 100,000 troops, Wu Kui wasn’t angry but instead sneered. Ling Feng, abandoning his camp and launching a full assault, had fallen into his Heaven and Earth Net Strangling Formation!

”Haha, let’s see how you die this time!”

Wu Kui laughed heartily, and the ambush forces within the Heaven and Earth Net Strangling Formation immediately began sharpening their blades, ready to trap Ling Feng’s army.

But soon, Wu Kui sensed something amiss. Although his ambushing forces did have an effect, the route Ling Feng advanced on were all where his ambush troops were weakest. Those terrains, difficult to ambush, were all open grounds suitable for frontal assault.

He couldn’t understand why Ling Feng could avoid those strategic points, how he always seemed to find the weak spots in his ambush!

”What’s going on? Could he know my Array Map? Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

Wu Kui was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, feeling his troops being systematically exterminated, unit after unit disappearing from his control, which meant these troops were wholly wiped out.

Inside the tent, the generals were once again astounded.

”The 100,000 cavalry scouts General Ling dispatched earlier have shown their value. After thoroughly understanding the entire terrain, he’s naturally uncovered where the ambushes are weak. High, truly high!”

The Black-faced General praised him continuously, never having thought he would hold such admiration for a young person.

Even he might not have realized, his form of address for Ling Feng had quietly shifted from ’that kid’ to ”General Ling,” no longer daring to treat Ling Feng as a wet-behind-the-ears youngster.

”He truly lives up to the title ’Military God’ given by the Grand Commander! This youth must not be underestimated!”

At that moment, none of the proud generals dared to show any disdain for Ling Feng.

If our Northwest Army had more military talents like General Ling, it would be as if a tiger had grown wings!
