"My brother and I fought to the death to protect our country. How dare you take advantage of this opportunity to steal military merits?”
Lin Lie flew into a rage. He had long heard of Shangguan's greed for military merits, but he did not expect it to happen to him today.
According to Wang Zhen, after the military merits became his, he, Lin Lie, and his brothers under him would not have any merits to speak of. As soldiers of the border army, they could not compare to the treatment of the imperial guards of the Nanbei Yamen.
They had died in battle for the Great Tang, spilling their blood, but in the end, they had no compensation from the Imperial Court.
Then, how would the wives and children of the soldiers who died in battle live?
Today, this light cavalry commandant Wang Zhen's actions made his heart turn cold.
After the chill passed, a monstrous rage surged out of his heart.
No matter how powerful the Wang family was, Lin Lie had to kill this person today.
This scene…
The Taiyuan cavalrymen who had come to help were stunned. They looked at Lin Lie in shock.
Their general, Wang Zhen, was actually killed by Lin Lie!
Why?
Was Lin Lie going to become a traitor of the Great Tang?
Until Lin Lie picked up Wang Zhen's head from the ground and held it in his hand.
At this moment…
Wang Zhen's 3,000 cavalry raised their sabers and glared at Lin Lie.
At this moment, Lin Lie was covered in blood and murderous aura. He picked up Wang Zhen's head from the ground and held it in his hand like a god of death.
He raised the Overlord Spear in his hand and suddenly smashed it onto the ground. With a rumble, a large pit appeared in front of him.
Seeing this scene,
The three thousand cavalry under Wang Zhen trembled in fear and could not help but retreat.
"Go back, I won't kill my brothers!”
"Go back and tell Taiyuan City's Governor Wang Wei that his son, Wang Zhen, wanted to steal my brother's military merits and was killed by me.”
The 3,000 cavalrymen were terrified. Looking at Lin Lie's indomitable and murderous figure, they all turned their horses around.
"Giddyup!"
Immediately after, the 3,000 cavalry galloped toward the outskirts of Yunzhong City.
To them, this matter was too important. They had to hurry to Taiyuan City and report what had happened to the Taiyuan Provincial Governor, Wang Wei.
......
......
The City Amongst the Clouds.
The Turkic barbarians retreated,
The 3,000 cavalry from Taiyuan left.
Lin Lie spent two days collecting the corpses of his brothers and comrades in Taiyuan, as well as the people of the Great Tang who had died in the battle, so that they could rest in peace.
At the burial ground, two tall tombs stood upright.
Tears welled up in Lin Lie's eyes as he placed the heads of the two thousand Turkic barbarians in front of the tombstones. He also placed the head of the Turkic Great General Ashina Nikh between the two tombstones and muttered,
"Today, I, Lin Lie, use the heads of the Turks to build a temple in the capital to pay tribute to my fallen comrades and comrades of the Great Tang."
"May you rest in peace!"
Then, he picked up Wang Zhen's head and placed it in front of the tombstone.
"Brothers, if anyone dares to snatch the credit that belongs to you, this person will suffer!”
"Who cares if it's the Wang family or the Li family? I, Bai Lie, am not afraid!”
Lin Lie held the Overlord Spear tightly in his hand and bowed three times toward the two simple tombstones.
If anyone dared to erase the merits of his brothers and comrades, he would definitely use the spear in his hand to seek justice for his brothers and comrades who had died in battle.
......
......
"This person killed Shangguan and is suspected of colluding with the Turkic barbarians. He is a traitor of the Great Tang and deserves to be executed!”
Taiyuan Provincial Governor Wang Wei held a long saber in his hand. His eyes were red and he stood on his warhorse with a furious expression. Behind him were five thousand cavalry, and they were aggressive!
"Lin Lie, this kid, dared to kill my son, Wang Zhen. I will definitely tear him into pieces!”
Wang Wei muttered, his eyes filled with hatred,
At the same time,
A hundred miles away from the City Amongst the Clouds,
Chai Xueyu, the female general of the Tang Empire, led the reinforcement army toward the City Amongst the Clouds.
On the way,
The deputy general suddenly reported," General, we've just received a report from the scouts. The City Amongst the Clouds has been breached, but for some reason, the Turkic barbarians have retreated.”
"Hmm? The city is broken?"
Hearing this news, Chai Xue Yu's heart immediately thumped. She hurriedly asked,"Is there any news about the Cavalry Commandant Lin Lie of the City Amongst the Clouds?”
"The Cavalry Commandant of the City Amongst the Clouds, Lin Lie?"
Hearing this name, the deputy general was obviously stunned. Then, his expression became strange and he replied,"General, are you talking about that Great Tang rebel commandant Lin Lie?”
"Lin Lie? A traitor of the Great Tang?"
Chai Xue Yu's heart suddenly shook.
