Text Chapter 216 The returning Zhang Mancheng, self-harm?
After coming out of the ground, Sun Ling led everyone to the discussion tent in the school field. Walking into the tent, looking at Lu Zhi, Guo Jia and the others who were already waiting here, Sun Ling nodded with satisfaction.
After the flying pigeon of the shadow guard, he was informed that in addition to the generals of the Badao Battalion who were on a mission outside, as well as Xun Yu and those who were far away in other states and could not come back in time, the core members of Sun Ling's account had already arrived.
And among these people, Sun Ling was pleasantly surprised to see a person who he didn't want to dispose of at the beginning, but had to deal with him, this person is Zhang Mancheng!
Although Sun Ling pardoned Zhang Mancheng's guilt because of his own selfish desires, in order to give an explanation to the soldiers of the Badao Battalion who died in Guangling City, Zhang Mancheng also changed from a general of the Badao Battalion to an ordinary soldier of the Badao Battalion.
After Zhang Mancheng was removed from his position, Sun Ling did not let him continue to follow his side, but handed him over to Yang Goudan who was stationed in Guangling City.
From a general of the sword battalion who was respected by everyone, he became an ordinary soldier, and he still went to serve in the place where he committed his crimes. Psychologically, Sun Ling's punishment of Zhang Mancheng is not heavy.
But Zhang Mancheng did not have any complaints about Sun Ling's decision. Because he knew that with his own crimes, let alone this kind of punishment, even if he died ten or a hundred times, he would not be able to exchange the lives of more than 2,000 soldiers of the sword battalion who died in battle under Guangling City, and he could not soothe the pain in Sun Ling's heart.
Therefore, although he has heard countless contemptuous words and cold eyes from the soldiers of the Badao Battalion who witnessed the tragic death of his compatriots under Guangling City, as well as the cold treatment, Zhang Mancheng has not sought protection from Yang Goudan, who had a good relationship in the past. Because he knew that this was his last chance, only by sitting in the position of the general of the sword battalion again could he have a chance to atone for his sins, and he would not let Sun Ling down again.
In the past half a year, every time he trained, Zhang Mancheng was always proud of the soldiers of the Badao Battalion in the entire Guangling City with the best results. It's not that those captains and Yang Goudan are too weak, but that Zhang Mancheng is gradually getting stronger.
In fact, this is also inevitable, and others only hold up for five hours at most in that kind of high-intensity training, and then stop. But Zhang Mancheng relied on the thoughts in his heart for eight hours, and he did it every day.
Zhang Mancheng's performance, those soldiers of the sword battalion who were originally resentful and blamed him, also saw it. So the relationship between them is gradually beginning to ease.
In these years of war, the outbreak of war can be seen everywhere. Guangling City is located on the border of Xu and Yang, and it is naturally impossible to avoid it. Just when Sun Ling took the Badao Battalion to the north to exterminate the barbarian army, Sun Jian of Yangzhou moved. To be exact, it was Sun Jian's son, Sun Ce, a young tiger in Jiangdong, who invaded several county towns under Guangling County with 20,000 foot soldiers.
When he first heard the news, Yang Goudan couldn't help but feel a little worried. Because in addition to those garrisons in the entire Guangling County, there are less than 4,000 Badao battalions, if all of them are sent out to crusade against Sun Ce, it will certainly be able to deter him, but Yang Goudan does not think that Jiangdong only has 20,000 foot soldiers.
Just when Yang Goudan was embarrassed by this, Zhang Mancheng, who had been promoted to the captain, directly approached him and asked him for two thousand sword battalions. And made a military order, if you can't use these 2,000 soldiers of the sword battalion to defeat Sun Ce's 20,000 foot soldiers, you will be willing to accept the punishment.
Regarding Zhang Mancheng's crazy posture, Yang Goudan refused to agree at first. Although it is true that the Badao Battalion is strong, it is obviously not a simple character that Sun Ce can make such a name for himself in Yangzhou with a weak crown. But after learning Zhang Mancheng's thoughts, Yang Goudan allocated the two thousand Badao battalion to him without saying a word. And promised that as long as this battle was fought, he would ask Sun Ling for his life and let him serve as the general of the Badao Battalion again.
The two reached an agreement, and in the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Mancheng took the 2,000 Badao battalion to the Guangling Ferry, where there were many fighting ships borrowed from the Langxie Ferry. Originally, they were only used to observe the movements of the Jiangdong sailors at any time, but now it is time to use them.
Just when Sun Ce wanted to attack the county seat of Guangling County again, in order to test the bottom line of the Badao Battalion in Guangling County, a news that caught him off guard came from Wu County: The Badao Battalion appeared in Wu County, and within one day, several cities were broken in a row! Now that the troops have come to the city, it seems that they have the posture of attacking Wu County.
The rear is surrounded, where does Sun Ce still care about testing the bottom line of the Badao Battalion? Hurriedly took the men and horses, turned around and headed towards Wu County. However, will Yang Goudan let him go so easily? The answer, of course, is no! Because of Yang Goudan's pursuit, in the process of going back, Sun Ce not only lost the people who were captured this time, but also the people and horses he brought were scattered by thousands of people, and the losses were not heavy.
Just when Sun Ce had just stepped into the boundary of Yangzhou, thinking that he could cooperate with the men and horses of Wu County when he returned to Jiangdong and leave the two thousand Badao Battalion behind, Zhang Mancheng, who was supposed to besiege Wu County, suddenly appeared and gave Sun Ce a slap with the Badao Battalion.
The final result of that battle was that Sun Ce was seriously injured by Zhang Mancheng and the two captains, and fled back to Wu County with less than 5,000 men and horses. It was precisely because of that battle that Zhang Mancheng regained the respect of the soldiers of the Badao Battalion in Guangling City and returned to the position of the general of the Badao Battalion again.
In the tent, under the gaze of everyone, Sun Ling stared at Zhang Mancheng tightly like this, until his eyes were already a little red, then he stepped forward, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "The efforts you have made in Guangling City, Yang Goudan has said it." Very good! This is what my sword battalion generals should look like, you didn't disappoint me, you didn't disappoint those sword battalion soldiers! ”
"My lord! I... received Sun Ling's recognition that he was looking forward to day and night, Zhang Mancheng was moved in his heart, and he stopped talking a little.
"That's it! It has passed away, and you have received the punishment you deserve. If you still feel guilty, visit the families of those brothers who died in battle when you have time. After saying this, Sun Ling walked to the top of the tent and sat down under the gaze of everyone in the tent.
"Yes!" After receiving Sun Ling's reminder, Zhang Mancheng retreated to the right side of the tent and stood behind Dian Wei and the others who watched him return with joy on their faces.
Sitting on the top, Sun Ling first glanced at the civil and military forces in the tent, and then said in a deep voice: "Someone may have guessed what I asked you to come here for." There may be some people who don't know, so I'll tell you now, I let you come today just to enhance your strength! ”
Speaking of this, Sun Ling paused, looking at those below who knew that they had enhanced abilities, and looked a little dazed. First, they reached out and grabbed the copper tripod of the incense burner on the table, and then in their horrified eyes, they pinched the copper tripod that was difficult to shake unless it was a divine soldier, and turned it into a copper piece.
Seeing that except for Dian Wei and Huang Zhong below, the rest of the people were all shocked, and Sun Ling knew that the effect had been achieved. Then he spoke again: "Maybe there are people in the world who are born with divine power who can do this kind of thing with the help of a high level of internal strength. But I want to tell you, as long as you go through this reinforcement, you will be able to do the same in the future! ”
As soon as Sun Ling's words fell, the eyes of everyone in the tent burst out with a heat unimaginable to ordinary people. The air in the whole tent seemed to become a little hot because of this.
As the general of the sword battalion, there is naturally no need to mention the fanaticism of pursuing strength. Even scribes like Zhong Xuan and Chen Qun, who didn't know martial arts, were so excited that they couldn't control themselves at this time, and they trembled all over.
Compared to the excitement of the others, Guo Jia was much calmer, although he also longed for that kind of domineering and incomparable power, but he could notice that when Sun Ling showed this power, he was looking at the direction of those generals on the right, not them. This shows that this force obviously does not apply to them. In other words, there are requirements, for example, a person with the strength of a general of the sword battalion is enough to have it.
However, with Guo Jia's understanding of Sun Ling, if only those generals could get strength, he would not be able to call Chen Qun back from Xu County in a big way.
He really couldn't think of how Sun Ling could enhance the strength of these scribes, Guo Jia could only break the fanatical atmosphere in the tent with his words, looked at Sun Ling above and said, "Lord! If Jia's expectation is good, this power should only be possessed by a person with the strength of the general of the sword battalion, right? Is there any other way for the lord? ”
Hearing this, the atmosphere in the entire tent suddenly stagnated. There was no shortage of smart people among the scribes present, and they were attracted by Sun Ling's power just now, so they were deeply involved in it. Now that they heard Guo Jia say this, they can be regarded as waking up. How can there be such a good thing in the world that can allow them, who have no foundation and are weak, to have this kind of unparalleled power in an instant, but they don't need to pay any price?
Of course, they didn't know that if the origin energy was sufficient, and if they directly used the origin energy to strengthen their bodies, it would not be so painful, and Sun Ling really wanted to strengthen them at the second level.
But now in Cai Yan and the others, Sun Ling, who has seen the powerful and powerful, doesn't think so. Because in his opinion, the Alien is not inferior to the Thousand Enemies of the Warrior, the Ten Thousand Enemies, and even in some aspects, it is much more powerful.
It's just that the question of how to explain abilities to Guo Jia and them made it a little difficult for Sun Ling. Because the ability is so mysterious, if you don't see it with your own eyes, who in this era will believe this?
After thinking for a moment, he still didn't know how to explain it to them, so Sun Ling had no choice but to grab the sharp blade on the table and thrust it into his wrist under the horrified eyes of everyone in the tent.
Feeling the pain of the sharp blade piercing, as well as the blood that kept gushing out, Sun Ling thought bitterly: I had brought Yan'er and them if I knew it, and their abilities would prove that it would be much simpler.
Regardless of what Sun Ling was thinking for the time being, except for Dian Wei and Huang Zhong standing there looking at each other, everyone in the camp shouted Hua Tuo because of Sun Ling's self-harming behavior, and doctors abounded, rushing to Sun Ling's side above, and there were also those who wanted to stop the bleeding for him.
Zhang Mancheng and a few generals of the sword battalion blamed Guo Jia for the reason why Sun Ling would do this, and several people surrounded Guo Jia and glared at him angrily.
Although they didn't know that there was anything wrong with what Guo Jia said, it would make Sun Ling hurt himself. But after Guo Jia finished speaking, Sun Ling harmed himself, and this matter must not be wrong.
In short, the situation in the camp at this time was like a devil entering the village, and there was an uproar!
