Chapter 366: Suspicion
As the sun sets, the sky burns into a dark shade of red and black.
In the vast land, there was a large group of people neatly arrayed, and at a cursory glance, there were probably tens of thousands of people. The armored male soldiers didn't say a word, but everyone had a murderous aura that was difficult to hide, and when they looked at it from a distance, it made people shudder.
In the army, a large flag fluttered in the wind, and a striking word "Mu" was written on it in Xia script.
At the front of the procession, a handsome young man rode a white horse, his yellow-brown hair was slightly curly, and he tied a grass knot at the back of his head, and his eyes were slightly squinted on his knife-like face. When he saw the picture from the mound, his amber eyes suddenly contracted, and his whole body suddenly exuded a fierce momentum.
"Herod!"
Even the horses beneath him seemed to feel his anger and clutched their hooves uneasily.
The plains below the hills are full of dead people as far as the eye can see! The endless corpses stained the sand and soil a dark red. And judging from their clothing, they are all soldiers of the Xia Kingdom.
Mo Lingtu turned the horse's head, his handsome face was expressionless, and he asked coldly to the few spies who were kneeling on the ground, "Who did it?" β
The leader of the spies kneeling at the front couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his head and said, "Handsome... We... Checking. β
"Investigating?" Mo Lingtu carried a hint of mockery, "In the land under our control, the soldiers of the two tribes were killed in one pot, and as the commander-in-chief, I didn't hear any report, but I had to see it with my own eyes to find out. And you--you actually said to me, 'Still investigating'? β
"Marshal, maybe... They are killing each other! The leader of the spies trembled like chaff, as if he had foreseen his fate.
Mo Lingtu smiled "hehe", but there was no joy on his face. He pointed to a pile of corpses as mutilated as mud and said, "Even if it's infighting, do you need to chop the other party into meat so cruelly to kill someone?" β
"This..."
"The people of Eternal Heaven do not need waste. Drag it down, decapitate. β
Mo Lingtu gave the order lightly, and a team of wolf-like guards took away all the spies who were kneeling on the ground and wailing, and after a while, several short and terrible screams came, and the night returned to silence.
Mo Lingtu stared in the direction of the setting sun and muttered, "It's the remnants of the Tang Dynasty." β
"Datang?" An old man with a white beard rode out of the ranks, "Those vulnerable Tang dogs actually dare to take the initiative?" β
"General Wynne, nothing is absolute." Mo Ling Tugubo was not shocked and pointed to the dismembered corpses all over the ground, and said, "If it weren't for the extreme hatred, who would have such a heavy hand?" β
Obviously unable to digest this fact, he frowned, "But... They only have 3,000 soldiers and horses, how can they kill so many people? β
Mo Lingtu squinted his eyes and said, "I'm also curious. β
"No matter what, if you dare to kill people under our noses, if you are caught by my servant Huai'en, I swear in the name of immortality - I will chop them into meat sauce!"
"No, no, no." Mo Lingtu shook his head and said with a smile: "Old general, don't forget the purpose of our coming here, we are going to put on a play for Datang to see, the real battlefield is always within them." β
Fu Huai'en was still angry, and said: "Then we won't avenge the revenge of these dead warriors of the Xia Kingdom?" Just let our warriors die in vain? β
"The general of the defeated army will always bear the price of defeat." Mo Lingtu said slowly, "But this Tang God of War makes me more and more curious. Look thereβ"
Fu Huaien followed Mo Lingtu's point, and found that among the corpses that spread for several miles, there were many corpses of Xia soldiers hugging each other, some weapons were inserted into the bodies of their compatriots, and some of them were tightly pinched by their five claws, as if they had encountered a blood feud that shared the sky.
"Thisβ" Servant Wynn was surprised, and said, "This seems... It's infighting! β
"Yes, but the problem is that they have no reason to fight in the house." Mo Lingtu rode down the mound and said loudly: "These are those two tribes? β
The soldiers who had already gone to investigate said respectfully: "Yu Dashuai, he is a warrior of the Tawu and Di tribes!" β
Mo Lingtu nodded and said, "General Sanda, have you ever had a conflict between the Di clan and the Tawu clan before?" β
In the battle array, a big man in his fifties was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but come out and say: "Greeting, our Di tribe and the Tawu tribe are far apart, and there has never been any contact, and there has never been any contradiction!" β
"There is no contradiction, but life and death are fighting, interesting." Mo Lingtu took a deep breath, looked up at the already blood-red sky, and said, "They fell for the divisive plan of that remnant army, so they killed each other. And they just cleaned up the mess and took down our so-called elite two troops without much effort. β
If Tang An was here, he would be surprised. Mo Lingtu just thought about it through the endgame on the spot, and almost restored the entire battle picture, and said that the score was not bad!
A group of Xia soldiers had reverence on their faces, and for their commander, they were like the most devout believers meeting the gods.
For the strong, these people who obey the law of the jungle have always admired from the bottom of their hearts. Obviously, although Mo Lingtu is young, he has been recognized as a hero by everyone.
Fu Huaien and the others thought for a while, and then looked at the miserable picture in front of them that seemed to be a purgatory on earth, and it seemed that there was no more reasonable explanation except for Mo Lingtu's suspicions.
"That's... What do we do now? Servant Wynn asked.
Mo Lingtu smiled lightly and said, "Even if you want to play a game of cat and mouse, the rules should be made by us, not the group of mice." So, even in order to give an account to the tribes, we can't find a reason not to catch them all. β
As soon as he heard that Mo Lingtu was moved, he was overjoyed. These days of unhurried travel have already made the hot-tempered old man depressed. And now, they have a reason to go all out.
"But... One thing I'm curious about. Mo Lingtu frowned and said, "That Tang God of War has always been calm and moderate, and he has never used such an insidious scheme, why did he change his temper this time?" β
"The marshal is too worried, and the soldier is treacherous, this old guy is just dying!" Servant Wynn laughed. "Dashuai, according to what you see, where will these Tang dogs go?"
Mo Lingtu pondered for a moment, smiled freely, and said, "We are from the south, and the east is the copper wall we have built. If Zhan Lingyun hadn't become an old fool, then the only options left for them would be the west and the north. If we want to catch them, why don't we divide our troops into two ways - which way does the servant general want to go? β
The west is the land of our Xia Kingdom, so is it possible that Tang Dog will kill himself? This kid still wants to trick the old man and swallow the military merits by himself!
The old man narrowed his eyes and said, "Since this is the case, then the old man will go to the north!" β
"Okay." Mo Lingtu smiled slightly and said, "Then I will go to the west and wait for the good news of the victory of the servant general's banner in the coming day." β
"You're welcome!" Servant Huaien laughed, waved his big hand, and said, "Sons, let's go!" β
Looking at the place that was gradually moving away, Mo Lingtu's eyes flashed: North, are you sure?
