Chapter 31

Just with two moves, the captain died at the hands of the young man!

Marin was one of the two strongest captains in Ping Shui County.

He actually died in the blink of an eye!

For experts, every moment in battle is a matter of life and death, but to others, they only saw the two exchange two moves.

Meng Jing secretly pinched herself, as she suspected this was a dream.

Jiang Ping'an actually killed Captain Marin in an instant!

"Captain is dead!"

"Shoot! Shoot quickly!"

Several hundred soldiers were terrified.

In just two months, this young man had grown to such a level!

Jiang Ping'an was almost kicked to death by this Marin, but fortunately, Li Yuntian appeared and saved him.

Today, it could be considered revenge.

Seeing several hundred soldiers preparing to draw their bows, Jiang Ping'an shouted, "Xiao Bai! Charge into the crowd!"

Only by entering the crowd would they be unable to use their bows.

Xiao Bai's hooves pounded the ground, dodging left and right, and charged into the crowd at high speed.

Jiang Ping'an wielded the knife in his hand, venting his anger.

It was their oppression that forced his parents to their deaths.

It was their inaction that allowed bandits to kill the villagers.

It was these bastards who caused countless civilians to starve to death.

They deserved to die!

The blade flashed, and a cold light burst forth. Among the several hundred soldiers, one man and one horse moved as if in a vacuum.

Only blood could quench Jiang Ping'an's anger, and only corpses could suppress his hatred.

Die! They all deserved to die!

He activated his right eye and released the Heavenly Execution Technique.

Countless ghostly figures floated in the air, and a killing aura enveloped an area of several dozen meters. The cold atmosphere made the surrounding horses and soldiers stiff.

Jiang Ping'an raised his hand and released three fireballs, which crashed into the crowd. With his other hand, he swung the knife, reaping their lives.

Meng Jing was stunned.

This was the first time she saw such a fierce and terrifying Jiang Ping'an.

But she didn't find it scary; instead, she felt a light emanating from him, making everyone else seem dim in comparison.

The villagers in the distance were also dumbfounded.

Is this still a human?

A young man facing several hundred soldiers, and he still has the upper hand!

Meanwhile, at the border between Lian Shan County and Ping Shui County.

Both sides knew that winter would bring war, and the troops deployed on the front lines were increasing.

General Xu Tao of Ping Shui County was inspecting the front lines when he suddenly sensed something and took out a talisman from his pocket.

The talisman began to burn, and Marin's anxious voice came from inside.

"General! Jiang Ping'an and Meng Kuo's daughter, Meng Jing, have mistakenly entered our Ping Shui County, in Heigouzi Township! Send reinforcements quickly!"

Xu Tao was stunned.

How did Jiang Ping'an and Meng Kuo's daughter end up in their territory?

Marin wouldn't joke about this; it must be true!

"Haha~ Heaven helps me! These two idiots! Meng Kuo's daughter actually came here! Haha~"

Xu Tao laughed maniacally, "Men, follow me... No! Form the entire army, and launch a direct attack on Lian Shan County!"

He originally wanted to go and capture them, as Meng Kuo's daughter was a significant asset and Meng Kuo's weakness.

But after some thought, there were only Jiang Ping'an and Meng Jing on the other side.

With Marin there, these two wouldn't stand a chance.

These two would surely be killed.

Now, launching a surprise attack on Lian Shan County would catch them off guard, and then he could use this to attack Meng Kuo's mind.

Capturing Lian Shan County and killing Meng Kuo would happen today!

Receiving the general's order, the front-line soldiers quickly gathered. Apart from those collecting grain and those stationed in the county, 3,500 soldiers were on the front lines.

The sudden attack indeed caught Lian Shan County off guard.

The soldiers of Lian Shan County retreated over ten miles.

However, as Meng Kuo and others arrived with their troops and formed a large formation, the soldiers turned to the offensive.

Both sides arranged their troops and formed military momentum, attacking each other.

Military momentum is a special force formed by soldiers.

In simple terms, it's the aggregation of everyone's strength into a massive weapon's shadow.

The weapon's shadow carries the strength of all.

Now, above both armies, there were two giant swords, each controlled by their respective generals.

The two giant swords clashed, dust flew, trees were swept away, and the clouds in the sky were stirred, creating a terrifying scene.

After the clash of military momentum, it was time for individual combat.

However, it's not easy to break the other side's military momentum.

"Haha, Meng Kuo, don't you feel something is missing?"

Xu Tao rode his warhorse, controlling the giant sword of military momentum.

When the strength is equal, there are two ways to break the military momentum.

The first is to disrupt the enemy's formation, affecting the aggregation of momentum.

The second is to affect the core figure of the military momentum, the controller.

Xu Tao's side had fewer soldiers and was at a disadvantage in the military momentum, but he wore a victorious and fierce smile.

Meng Kuo's heart sank, sensing a bad omen.

The enemy's sudden attack and their smile despite being at a disadvantage clearly indicated they had a plan.

Xu Tao, seeing that the other side was still unaware, laughed loudly.

"Haha, it seems you don't know. Let me tell you, where are your daughter and the Jiang Ping'an you saved?"

Meng Kuo's face changed.

The giant sword above his head suddenly flickered.

His state of mind affected the overall military momentum.

Xu Tao continued to laugh and shout, "Your daughter and that little bastard Jiang Ping'an are now in my Ping Shui County!"

"Right now, Marin is leading his 300 cavalry to surround and attack them!"

"What!"

Meng Kuo's face changed drastically.

His only weakness was his daughter, but why would she and Jiang Ping'an run to the enemy's territory?

Although it seemed unlikely, if it weren't true, the enemy wouldn't have taken such a risk.

His daughter and Jiang Ping'an had indeed disappeared!

Marin was well-known, one of the two most likely to become a general, and his strength was unquestionable.

With 300 cavalry, even if Jiang Ping'an and his daughter were exceptionally talented, they couldn't possibly stand a chance.

"Xiao Jing..."

As Meng Kuo's state of mind faltered, the military momentum in the sky suddenly weakened.

Xu Tao took advantage of the situation, controlling the giant sword to attack fiercely.

"Haha, your daughter is so beautiful, with the potential to bring ruin to the country at such a young age. Tsk tsk, Marin is extremely lustful; who knows what he will do to your daughter."

The military momentum on the Lian Shan County side became weaker, and each soldier felt the pressure, their faces turning pale and their breathing difficult.

"General! Don't believe his lies! Hold steady!" Li Yuntian shouted beside him.

If this continued, once the military momentum was broken, they would be like lambs to the slaughter.

"Deceptive words? Where are Jiang Ping'an and Meng Jing?" Xu Tao's face was filled with the joy of victory.

Soon, he would capture Lian Shan County, a great military achievement that would surely please the governor.

With this achievement, further advancement would be within reach.

Meng Kuo bit his tongue, trying to use the pain to calm himself, but thinking of his daughter's safety made his heart extremely anxious.

He tried his best to hold on, but the state of mind is not something that can be controlled at will.

Otherwise, everyone could become a person of great willpower, and everyone could become a superior person.

This is why it is said that compassion is not suitable for leading troops, and righteousness is not suitable for managing wealth.

Many leaders of troops and wealth cultivate the path of无情 (no emotion), to have no weaknesses.

Only then can they maximize their role and lead the army to victory.

"Crack~"

After an hour, the giant sword of military momentum above Lian Shan County exploded, and every soldier felt a force hit their chest, making them extremely uncomfortable.

"Haha~ Little Meng Kuo! I win!"
