A Yanta Academy student from a rather influential family had died, and a powerful triad had been eradicated in an area where ordinary folks of Changan city could not see. If the imperial court and triads formed a vast body of water, the splash created by these two events were in fact not big at all.
The chief constable of Changan made a single trip to Yanta Academy and decided to thoroughly give up pursuing the matter. In his words, he was only but a low-ranking official. The pressure created by this case fell upon the magistrate - not him.
There were all kinds of commotion going on within the academy. It was not that difficult to investigate this matter. After all, it was one that implicated a second-in-command official, who was a Class B Fourth pin official. He might not be a big figure, but he was not considered small either. In any case, the Ministry of War had to stick up for its people. Of course, it was nothing more than a mere formality.
Even though Zhuang Yong said that Shen Leng could only pick two out of ten people in his squad, in reality, it was three. Apart from Shen Leng’s squad, Du Weiming had no other choice. Great Ning’s standard ten-man squad in the military did not consist of only ten people, but twelve people in total. Ten of these ten-man squads formed a battalion. Ten-man squads were made up of two five-man squads. Apart from Shen Leng, there was another signaller.Shen Leng appointed Wang Kuohai and Du Weiming as the two leaders of the two five-man squads. He appointed Chen Ran as the signaller. The duties of a signaller was rather complicated - he was in charge of observing the military banner and flag signals during battles; he also had to listen to the military drums and gong. Lastly, he was also in charge of communicating with the rest of the squad.Ten ten-man squads formed a battalion, and three battalions formed a regiment. The leader of the battalion wa
The mountain that Mr. Shen and Master Cha were at was called Mount Xiao Feng - it was one of the more unremarkable mountains within the endless mountain range near the river bank. There was a town not far from the mountain. Apart from the Daoist temple that Mr. Shen and Master Cha resided in, there were some hunters who appeared every now and then to check if there were any wild animals caught in the traps they had set up before. At lunch, Master Cha rested her chin on one hand and knocked against the stone table with her chopsticks with the other hand. Mr. Shen came out from the kitchen covered with dirt, holding a plate of something that was black in color. “Quick, have a taste.”Master Cha looked at it and wanted to throw up.Mr. Shen was somewhat disappointed. “Guess some things are truly innate talents.”Master Cha pointed at the dish and asked, “Didn’t you say you want to cook some beef for me? Did you go through great pains
For six to seven days in a row, Shen Leng conducted high intensity training for the new recruits. All eleven men were of different physiques and had varying degrees of willpower. Even Du Weiming and Wang Kuohai felt as though they were about to reach their limit. According to some sources, in three days, they would have to enter the battlefield. Some people were anxious, and some people were disapproving of it.Just as always, Shen Leng put his men through the additional training session into the night before allowing them to rest. He returned to the drill ground alone and completed the homework he did back in the Daoist temple meticulously. By the time he completed it, it was already after 1 a.m.. When he was about to go back to the barracks, he saw Zhuang Yong standing under the light, waiting for him. Shen Leng hurried over to him and saluted. “Come with me.”Zhuang Yong walked in front. Shen Leng walked sligh
The time period between receiving the news of the field exercise and heading out flew past fairly fast. Shen Leng knew that the harsh trainings that he forced his men to go through were not sufficient, but he hoped that his men were able to at least guard their lives in the face of danger.Last month, the total number of new recruits who had passed the evaluation was less than three hundred. The battalion commander, Wang Gendong was in charge of leading the troops. This was a very simple mission. The water bandits they were ambushing was Zhao Dengke and his men that were located upstream. According to the intelligence reported back by the scouting team, they had only a hundred odd people. They were hiding in one of the waterways of Nanping River, and plunder passing merchant ships from time to time in the middle of the night.Three Xiong Niu battleships had headed upstream towards their camp. The Xiong Niu battleship was a medium-sized battleship of the Nav
Shen Leng had a frightening grasp of time. Most of the soldiers did not notice it, but Du Weiming and Wang Kuohai did. Before nightfall, they had arrived outside a town named Fu Chou Bao. They could see the smoke rising from the chimneys in that town. Shen Leng got them to stand guard before they took off their equipment to rest. All of the soldiers heaved a sigh of relief. They carried the load and trekked for more than nine miles. Everyone was almost at their limit. “Squad leader.”Du Weiming leaned in and said in a low voice, “If we keep walking at this pace, we will only reach the water bandits’ camp the day after tomorrow. That’s too slow…If Battalion Commander Wang were to use this as a reason to punish us, there is nothing we can say to refute it. The items we’re carrying are too heavy, should we lighten the load?”“No.”Shen Leng did not hesitate in his reply. “I feel that we did not bring enough. If not for
Despite having been through Shen Leng’s strict and arduous trainings over a period of time, running three miles while carrying a heavy load was still not an easy feat. Fortunately, they only had to be a little faster than the water bandits behind them.Even though the water bandits only carried a dagger with them, they could not run faster than Shen Leng and his men, who were carrying more than ten to twenty pounds worth of equipment with them. This made Shen Leng’s squad somewhat pleased with themselves… “Du Weiming, take two people with you and go over to see if there is anybody holding down the fort in the water bandits’ camp.”Shen Leng yelled. He turned around and grabbed Wang Kuohai. “The rest of you keep going! You stay behind with me!”Wang Kuohai turned around and headed back with Shen Leng. After they walked a few steps, he heard Shen Leng yell, “Shield!”Wang Kuohai lifted the shield from the ground and he
Mu Jiu snatched the sword from his comrade next to him and swung it towards Shen Leng. When Shen Leng swung his sword in an attempt to block his attack, Mu Jiu’s sword changed direction immediately. It was a bluff. The sword tilted and headed straight for Li Tuming’s neck. Shen Leng’s right hand was holding his sword; he was about to swing his sword again but it was too late. He extended his left hand and grabbed Mu Jiu’s hair, pulling him backwards. As a result, Mu Jiu’s sword cut Shen Leng on his left arm. Li Tuming went pale with fright. When he saw Shen Leng’s arm bleeding profusely, he grabbed his arm. “Squad leader, you are bleeding!”Shen Leng could not move as a result. It was Mu Jiu’s second attack. Shen Leng kicked Li Tuming. “Scram.”As he kicked Li Tuming, Shen Leng used the momentum to dodge Mu Jiu’s attack. Thereafter, he quickly counter attacked - every attack was swifter than the one before. Mu Jiu was forced to r
When it was nightfall, it suddenly started raining. The drizzle turned into a lashing storm in just a brief moment. After the ten-man squad returned from the battlefield, Chen Ran was the first to charge out into the rain and let the rain wash over him. Apart from Shen Leng, the rest followed suit. Perhaps they needed the rain to wash over them to calm them down because of the stench of blood, or perhaps they were still reeling from what happened earlier. They were cheering in the rain and strained their voices. After they got back to the barracks, the few of them huddled together and laughed like fools, rocking back and forth.Chen Ran flipped his hair back and said, “What a downpour…it’s raining cats and dogs…” Shen Leng sat by the window and retorted, “Why didn’t it crush you to death.”Chen Ran replied, “Leng, no, I mean, squad leader…did you see those people out there?” Of course Shen Leng saw them. On the dril
Meng Changan with black eyes walked to the small courtyard where Shen Leng and Master Tea temporarily lived, and wanted to push the door to enter, but suddenly thought that when he was about to come in before he saw a drop of childish things, so he stopped, his face was a little difficult."Got to knock."Black eyes as if showing off some unearthly skill, "Don't you know it? To knock."Since he learned the knocking technique in the Wei village not far from the marine division camp in Anyang County, he has always felt great, and I don't know where the point of pride ...... is.Knock on the door and enter, right on the spot.About half an hour later, a pot of meat buns made by Shen Leng himself was placed on the table, Black Eyes reached out to grab it, and the small wooden stick in Master Tea's hand accurately hit his fingers, "Wash your hands!"Black Eyes: "Oh ......"He stood up to go wash his hands and said to himself, "Why does this feel
Regardless of whether the princess's request will be accepted by the talk of the nine states, there is a fact that the princess has to accept, the Tubo army of nearly 200,000 people ...... No food.Kill the horse can last about a week, if you save some food barely keep people can walk, can eat ten days, but this ten days without combat effectiveness to speak of the Tubo soldiers can let the Ning people to kill to the corpses, there is no power to fight back.Before coming to the Tubo people are still saying that the Ning people are only good bragging is actually a twolegged sheep to be slaughtered, after the fight only to understand that the Ning people if sheep, but also can be swallowed by tigers and wolves of the kind of sheep.Shi Zihai City, Shen Leng did not let their own people to participate in the army pursuit, at the time of the war, as a general of the Ning can not avoid the war, and then heartache of their own men must also take people to kill up, but a
If in any other place, any country, a war as the commander of the army of the great general but left the main battlefield, leisurely in the riverside waiting for a few days, will be scolded out of the bed, the Imperial Historical Office of those adults if they know, the zhang folds will be like snowflakes like flying to His Majesty's table, but in Daning will not be, and can not find any reasonable reason to explain, probably even the Imperial Historical Office of the The adults all felt that this was not a big deal.The adults of the Da Ning Imperial Historian's Office would seize on a general's private life, but would never just enlist a general who was leading a battle without any actual evidence or results, quite a bit of chivalry.Chang'an Night.The moon in the city of Chang'an is nothing special. Poets praise the moon in Chang'an as brighter, of course, because His Majesty the Emperor is in Chang'an.When the moon is full there will be a few poets in e
Lone Camel Mountain.There is a small river at the bottom of the mountain, no one knows what the name of the river is, this is Chechi Kingdom not Tufan, and here there are only Tufans, a group of Tufans who seem to have lost their pride and selfrespect, not to mention that no one cares about what the name of the river is, no one cares about what the people around them are called, and the team establishment is in complete disarray, with nearly two hundred thousand people, not many of them are still able to find a lot of familiar faces around them.The vast majority of the people sat in silence, conversation would show them the wretchedness and fear of each other.From loss of pride to loss of selfrespect may also be a person's journey from decadence to ruin.The river is shallow, the fish in the water have long been trampled muddy the bottom of the water horse hooves scared out of sight, this side of the people holding the water to drink, the other side of the
Shen Leng naturally refused to take his clothes off in front of Master Tea, that full of injuries if he let Master Tea see it, he did not know what to do, Master Tea is not a brutal and unreasonable person, never, but Master Tea this time really saw the battlefield how people kill each other, even though she has not yet opened her mouth, she is already looking for a chance to open her mouth.She hoped that Shen Leng would live well, and on the battlefield, swords were blind, and no one would be lucky for the rest of his life.But Shen Cooling can not give up, although Mr. Shen until now has not told him why he has to spell it out like this, but Mr. Shen told him that he must spell it out, Shen Cooling knows that Mr. Shen will never take his life to joke around, betting on it must be very big and big, because Mr. Shen is so so caring about him, caring about tea.Chang'an City.Baogi Palace, Mr. Shen after changing the medicine lying on the bed looking at the h
This battle was fought in a vast and magnificent, 300,000 threatened to take the Shannan Road within seven days of the Tubo army thousands of miles of land finally even Shi Zi Hai City this line has not been able to cross, not to mention cross, close to the not.At least 60,000 Tubo soldiers died in the chaotic battle, more than half of them were killed when their morale collapsed and retreated, even if it was when they were routed, their strength was still at least more than three times that of the Ning army.Le Qinqiao Mingtai was injured by the generals under the rescue all the way to the south southwest of the wild run, the road lost how many soldiers have been countless, from the stone sea outside the battlefield to one hundred and sixty miles away from the lonely camel mountain, more than two hundred thousand people are still left 180,000, tens of thousands of people either lost the direction of do not know what to run to the place, or simply do not dare to follow
Shen Leng cleaved Kuo Shan with a knife, seized Kuo Shan's horse and rushed forward to meet with his own team, and the team of more than one thousand people rushed towards the side of the large group of people of Tubo country, blatantly and fearlessly.The big banner on the opposite side indicated the identity of the other party, Shen Leng led his soldiers to charge straight towards the big banner, killing countless enemies along the way like a thorn in the side."Unbridled!"Caoge Mingtai was furious when he saw that very small number of Ning cavalry charging over, how could he endure such a disregard for him?In his horse next to a bear and a leopard, around the arm of the guards also stood a Haidongqing, broad brother Mingtai most like to hunt, this bear and a leopard are tamed by him, the most ferocious is that Haidongqing."Let go of the bear panther."At the order of Cuoge Mingtai, the beast tamers under his command immediately unlocked the
Tamuta is taller than Meng Chang'an by half a head, looking at that arm than Meng Chang'an's leg seems to be thicker, although he did not understand what Meng Chang'an said he big fork that sentence means, but thinking that after all is not what good words, so a knife toward Meng Chang'an's head cut down, the knife carries the wind might, the wind with the Running Thunder.When!Meng Changan actually didn't dodge again and still met him with a solid slash.This knife Meng Changan backward two steps, Tamuta also backward two steps, two people holding the knife's hand are some slight tremor, that kind of strength, if you split a horse, will be cut in two, split a monument, will also be cut in two ...... Favorably, chopping a person can not."There are two things."Tamuta fighting spirit, stride up a kick to Meng Chang'an's face, he is tall, this kick actually has a kind of whistling power, Meng Chang'an left foot moved back half a step, waist on the power
Often times, people outside of the Ninjas don't understand a lot of what the Ninjas decide to do.For example, the western frontier heavy armor general talk jiuzhou led 40,000 heavy armor to break the chechi capital city, and then like a high wall to stop the return of 300,000 tufan country's army, 40,000 to stop 300,000, and a kind of you're already surrounded aura, in addition to ningren no one will be able to understand.Where does the confidence come from to be reasonable?Shouldn't Tan Jiuzu sit in Shizihai City to take care of the big picture? He's a great general leading troops to block the road, who's in command?Now that the Land King was the biggest in Shizihai City, he was really eager to give it a try, yet he eventually held back.The great general talked about Jiuzhou rate of heavy armor around the road to attack the Chechi country before the explanation is not much, there are two sentences is probably the focus ......
