My Pretty Campus Queen-Chapter 929 - 927: Marshaling Troops on the Battlefield
"I must go!"
Chen Tianlong did not lift his head, but a cold statement flew from the corner of his mouth, stunning everyone present, including Wu Mengting.
At this moment, Bing Xiaotao suddenly spoke up: "Chen Tianlong, you cannot go, the Ice Hall needs you. We do not know if there is hope for Lin Wushuang’s condition, but she took a Great Rejuvenation Pill, which will maintain her current state for a week. The Ice Hall is in grave danger right now, and if we don’t rescue our Ice Hall Master, the Ice Hall will be destroyed."
Hearing Bing Xiaotao’s words, Chen Tianlong furrowed his brow. If the city were really breached, how many of the fifty thousand disciples in the Ice Hall would perish? Indeed, for Lin Wushuang alone, it was too overwhelming.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Tianlong said, "Alright, I’ll prepare and head over."
"Haha, that’s great, the Ice Hall is saved!" Bing Xiaotao said with a happy laugh.
Yet, suddenly realizing, the surrounding atmosphere was still quite heavy. Bing Xiaotao obviously only considered the Ice Hall but did not see the current situation.
Rescuing the Ice Hall is important, but the young miss is also important to Chen Tianlong. Whether to rescue the Ice Hall or not is just a word from Chen Tianlong. The key issue is that rescuing the Ice Hall is no easy feat; it is currently surrounded on all sides, and getting in is a significant problem.
In an instant, Chen Tianlong suddenly raised his head: "Brother Lin, may I borrow five hundred elite soldiers."
"This..." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
Lin Kaifeng was clearly in a bit of a dilemma. It’s fine to lend money or medicine, but lending soldiers is lending lives. The fellows from North City are not easy prey; they are attacking the Ice Hall with fifty thousand elite soldiers. If he rashly sends out five hundred elite soldiers, isn’t that like throwing an egg against a rock?
Lives belong to the brothers and should be up to them to decide.
"Chen Tianlong, I cannot promise you this. If you want to borrow soldiers, I have to let them join voluntarily..." Lin Kaifeng thought for a moment and continued, "How about this, I’ll take you to the camp later, and we’ll see how many people are willing to go with you, then I have nothing to say. But if they are unwilling, I cannot do anything."
"Alright!"
Chen Tianlong did not say much, this borrowing of soldiers was just to create an impression, to divert the attention of the North City army, and then take the opportunity to infiltrate. Regarding other matters, Chen Tianlong was not that foolish to engage in a hard assault.
Chen Tianlong suddenly embraced Wu Mengting without reason, then softly said, "Don’t overthink, what I have said will always count for life. Wait for me to come back!"
Chen Tianlong had already noticed the thoughts of Wu Mengting, only earlier he had been frightened by Lin Wushuang’s condition, now he was taking the opportunity to explain to her. Wu Mengting was stunned, then she understood and tightly hugged Chen Tianlong back, "I understand, be careful."
After separating, Chen Tianlong directly followed Lin Kaifeng to the Lin Family Army Camp.
After about twenty minutes, more than eighty thousand soldiers were arrayed in the field, and Lin Kaifeng and Chen Tianlong stood atop a high platform, watching the orderly troops. Lin Kaifeng suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "I gathered everyone today to discuss an issue. Our Lin Family Army’s Chief Instructor, Chen Tianlong, plans to head to the Ice Hall for assistance, which means it is very likely to come under attack from the North City army. Now...willing to accompany the Chief Instructor in paving the way, step forward."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone began to discuss amongst themselves.
After all, for many of them, they didn’t even know who Chen Tianlong was, besides those who had been injured on the East City border, everyone else shook their heads.
Suddenly, a distinct figure walked out,
It was Lin Jun.
"Assistant Chief Instructor of the Lin Family Army, Lin Jun requests to join the support army!"
"Wow..."
Seeing Lin Jun already enlisted, the soldiers were incredibly surprised; who exactly is this Chen Tianlong, to have such ability that even Lin Jun stepped out?
"I also request to join!"
The second to come out was a member of their special training team.
"I request to join." "I also join!".....
In no time, all the team members trained by Chen Tianlong stepped out, followed by another group. Not for any other reason, but because they trusted the person their squad leaders trusted, they had no reason not to.
The soldiers who had experienced that border war, some had already recovered from their injuries, also stepped out, constantly recounting to those around about the day Chen Tianlong sacrificed himself to stay behind to save others, earning everyone’s great admiration.
Ten minutes later, over ten thousand people stood in the front of the line.
The scene made Lin Kaifeng astonished; how much charisma is required to get these people, whom they had never met before, to step out even at the risk of death.
Trust, absolute trust!
"Thank you all, I, Chen Tianlong, swear to the heavens, if I still have a breath left, I will never abandon you, nor will I let you follow me to your deaths!"
Chen Tianlong vowed.
He already had a plan in mind, just creating an impression, not a real battle, thus the safety of these men was still assured.
That afternoon at three, Chen Tianlong led five hundred men, galloping towards the Ice Hall on their steeds. Indeed, two kilometers away from the Ice Hall, they saw a vast crowd ahead, and Chen Tianlong quickly gestured for everyone to halt.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Tianlong ordered: "The fifty men at the back, go to the grove immediately, break off a tree branch and place it behind your horse, and later, upon my command, drag the branch on the ground while you run!"
"Yes!" The crowd obeyed and acted swiftly.
About ten minutes later, fifty men, with their branches ready, returned to their original place.
"Those who have boughs tied to their horse tails, advance with us later, and everyone shout in unison as loud as possible," Chen Tianlong instructed.
The crowd nodded in understanding.
Lin Jun was amazed, not expecting that this Chief Instructor could actually use military strategy, really could not tell before.
"Coach Nie, impressive, isn’t this the move from the Three Kingdoms by Zhuge Liang?" Lin Jun laughed.
"I don’t know what it’s called, but it seems workable!" Chen Tianlong chuckled bitterly, he is the protagonist in this story, who cares about Zhuge Liang, Young Master Zhuge Ye is the greatest.
Once everything was ready, Chen Tianlong led the team forward, about a kilometer away from the large army, Chen Tianlong suddenly shouted: "Everyone, start shouting, the fifty men at the back, drag the branches on the ground and gallop!"
As soon as Chen Tianlong’s words fell, everyone began to act. In a moment, the five hundred people’s shouts soared to the skies, along with fifty men urging their horses, causing billows of dust to rise around the team.
Outside the Ice Hall.
Fang Dali, Hao Shuai, and others were preparing to attack the gates of the Ice Hall once more. After several days, the Ice Hall was almost unable to hold on. Just at that moment, a massive shout arose from the right side, shocking them.
Soon, scouts reported: "Young Master Fang, a group of soldiers from the right side, unknown who they are, but the momentum is grand, estimated to be tens of thousands!"
"What? Tens of thousands?"
Fang Dali quickly took up a binoculars for a look and was immediately shocked. Up ahead, it was densely packed, a line of cavalry, and the back was billowing with dust, obscuring how many there were. Only occasionally could a warhorse be seen emerging, and the loud sounds made him worried.
