The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 1044

[Chapter 1044: Counterattack]

The emperor told Lin Tian what happened last night.

“What?”

After hearing the emperor’s words, Lin Tian was shocked.

Indeed, who could have thought that when the Qi army attacked the capital of Yan, they would also send people to assassinate the king of Yan.

Even if Lin Tian could think of this, he could not have thought that while assassinating and attacking, they would also send people to assassinate the loyal officials of the Yan court.

“Who were assassinated? Who escaped the assassination?”

Although Lin Tian was very fortunate that he was drinking in the restaurant yesterday and was not at home, he was spared from being assassinated. However, Lin Tian felt sad when he thought that the people who were assassinated were all loyal officials of Yan.

“Last night, because most officials went to the streets to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, few officials were at home, so only a few people were killed. But Prime Minister Zhao…”

At this point, the emperor could not continue.

Lin Tian was also very sad to hear that Prime Minister Zhao was killed. After all, Prime Minister Zhao had always worked hard for Yan and was the emperor’s right-hand man.

Now, without Prime Minister Zhao, Yan State may fall into a short period of panic.

“Your Majesty, please be patient. Prime Minister Zhao has devoted himself to Yan State for decades. It is time for him to retire, but he has suffered such a situation. No one could have expected it.”

Lin Tian comforted the emperor.

“My dear Lin, I have closed the news. After a while, I will announce to the public that Prime Minister Zhao is retiring, but the position is vacant. What should I do?”

The emperor complained to Lin Tian again.

“Your Majesty did this to give Prime Minister Zhao a decent face. Now is the best way. The position of Prime Minister is vacant, and it is up to Your Majesty to select talents who can take on the important task of Your Majesty in the future.”

Lin Tian analyzed and said to the emperor.

“Your Majesty, I don’t know how the war on the other side of the city wall is now. I have to continue to check it out, so I will take my leave first.”

Ming Tian thought of the city wall, quickly said something to the emperor, and then withdrew.

Lin Tian did not look for the housekeeper and the fast horse censor. Compared to them, they were also busy with the emperor’s affairs.

Lin Tian rode his horse to the city wall, dismounted, and carefully looked for Gan Mao’s figure. He found that Gan Mao was standing on the city wall at this moment, looking into the distance, probably observing the enemy’s movements.

Lin Tian did not interrupt him, but went directly to Gan Mao’s side.

“Master Lin, you are here?”

Gan Mao asked Lin Tian after seeing him.

Lin Tian nodded, but did not speak, but looked outside the city wall.

At this moment, after a night of fighting, the city wall was covered with the blood of the soldiers of Qi and Yan. Lin Tian smelled the blood in the air, and the feeling of retching yesterday came up again.

Lin Tian resisted the feeling of retching and continued to look forward.

Lin Tian looked at the corpses of the soldiers of Qi under the city wall. Because it was too dark yesterday, Gan Mao did not know the dynamics of the enemy, so he did not dare to send people out of the city to clean up the battlefield.

Outside the city wall is a thousand-meter-long open space. At this moment, outside the open space is a dense forest. Lin Tian’s eyes can’t see a thousand meters away, so he doesn’t know how many Qi troops are hidden in the dense forest.

“General Gan Mao, where are the people you brought back last night?”

Lin Tian thought of the group of people that he asked Gan Mao to open the city gate to welcome, that is, the soldiers that he also secretly trained, so he asked Gan Mao.

“Sir Lin, their leader asked me to tell you that they have returned to their resting place to wait for you. Sir, can you tell me who they are? How come their martial arts are so high, and their combat capabilities are no less than elite troops.”

Thinking of the group of people before, Gan Mao was very curious, is it Lian Tian’s own secret army? So he asked Lin Tian curiously.

“They are just the elite among you. After being secretly trained by me, they have this ability. If you are very curious, then I will take you to see their training.”

Lin Tian felt that it was time to let General Gan Mao know that he had trained this army.

“Okay.”

Gan Mao was still very curious about this army. So he agreed to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian wanted to see what kind of army Qi State was hiding in the dense forest a thousand meters away, and also wanted to test the combat capability of this unit that he had secretly trained according to the combat capability of modern soldiers.

So, he took out the same bamboo tube from his arms as yesterday.

He held the bamboo tube in his left hand and raised it to the sky, pulled down the thin line on it, and with a “whoosh”, a blue light was launched into the air.

The beam of light launched this time, like yesterday, attracted the attention of Qi State and Yan State, but they were curious that the color of this inverted light was different from yesterday’s color.

Just when they were curious, Lin Tian and Gan Mao saw that there seemed to be many more figures in the dense forest on both sides of the city wall, and then they quickly ran towards the direction of the army.

The distance of a thousand meters, only a hundred breaths of time, those figures had arrived, and then the sound of the two armies fighting sounded.

“General Gan Mao, you let your army soldiers get ready to go out of the city to chase and kill the Qi soldiers. When my next signal sounds, let them march towards the dense forest a thousand meters away.”

Lin Tian suddenly turned his head and said to Gan Mao.

“We don’t know what the situation is over there. If we attack rashly, we might get ambushed by the enemy.”

After hearing what Lin Tian said, Gan Mao thought about it carefully and said to Lin Tian.

“They don’t need to enter the dense forest. They just need to form an encirclement outside the dense forest and block the retreat of the Qi army. You don’t need to worry about the rest. Just leave it to my men.”

Lin Tian knew Gan Mao’s concerns and said to Gan Mao very confidently.

Ling Tian believed in the group of people he trained. He trained them with modern training methods. Not only did he train their individual combat capabilities, but I’m afraid that their team combat capabilities are also unique.

Therefore, Lin Tian believed that with only this thousand-man team, they could defeat the hundreds of thousands of Qi troops.

After hearing what Lin Tian said, Gan Mao didn’t believe it. He didn’t know how many Qi troops were hidden in the dense forest, but judging from the number of those figures just now, they were probably far less than that. There were only more than a thousand figures, not to mention those who were exposed in the attack yesterday and were taken back to the city by Gan Mao.

Even if both of them were added together, they would probably not be able to match one-tenth of Qi’s army. Unless each of them had the ability to fight ten of them, there would be no possibility of them defeating Qi’s army, or even coming back alive.
