Chapter 640 Capturing the General
"You little brat, you're deliberately hiding your strength and full of tricks. This general won't fall for it."
Bai Tiantian had no intention of keeping her promise and swung the giant sword again.
"A general of the mighty Great Ye Dynasty, how dare you go back on your word to a lowly soldier like me from the Wu Kingdom? Don't you think that's bullying me?" Lin Ping planned to use both physical and magical attacks. If the other party hadn't been wearing armor, he would have even wanted to spit on him.
Wielding the giant sword was already exhausting, and with Lin Ping's taunts, Bai Tiantian felt like her whole body was about to swell up.
For more than ten rounds in a row, Lin Ping escaped with his ghostly movements, but he did not manage to hurt his opponent.
"Kid, you can't beat me by just running away. If you keep hiding like this, don't blame me for killing all these dozens of people."
Bai Tiantian said breathlessly.
In large-scale military operations, bravery and skill in combat are paramount. But in a duel between masters, speed and swordsmanship are equally important.
To boost morale, Bai Tiantian always wore armor, which was indeed a powerful weapon to kill ordinary soldiers, but not the kind of equipment to deal with experts.
"Who says you can't win like this?" Lin Ping said with a faint smile, "Take a look at your proud greatsword!"
Only after Lin Ping reminded her did Bai Tiantian realize that the golden giant sword in her hand was emitting pale white flames.
The color of the flame represents the temperature; when a white flame appears, it can melt almost anything.
Before the giant sword was completely melted, Bai Tiantian's palms had already started to burn.
Under intense pain, Bai Tiantian had no choice but to discard the giant sword that had accompanied him in battle for many years.
Upon landing, the giant sword had melted into a pool of molten gold, slowly seeping into the soil and mixing with the blood.
"What's going on? You brat, what kind of sorcery did you use?" Bai Tiantian glared at Lin Ping through gritted teeth, regretting that she hadn't had the Black Iron Guards tear him to pieces.
"Sorcery? That doesn't exist. It's just a thermite reaction," Lin Ping muttered to himself.
In those ten or so rounds just now, Lin Ping wasn't just tickling Bai Tiantian; he was also attaching thermite to the greatsword.
"I advise you not to make any rash moves, or your armor and head will be melted!" Lin Ping said coldly, the thermite already attached to Bai Tiantian's helmet.
Bai Tiantian didn't believe in ghosts and monsters at all. After calming down, he concluded that Lin Ping had melted the giant sword by his own skill.
In other words, Lin Ping really had the ability to melt his helmet and head.
"Very well, kid, you've won. This general is at your disposal!" Bai Tiantian wasn't the kind of person who didn't know what was good for her, and had already given up resisting.
"Tell your men to retreat and let us return to the city." Lin Ping casually pulled out a rope and immediately tied Bai Tiantian up like a dumpling. His skillful technique was simply astonishing.
Is this "person" character binding for real? Why does it give off a pornographic vibe?
"Perhaps you don't understand the Black Iron Guard. As soon as the commander-in-chief dies, the deputy commander immediately takes over the army," Bai Tiantian said calmly, completely unafraid of Lin Ping's threat.
"Oh? How about giving it a try?"
Lin Ping smiled strangely, and held a sharp dagger directly to Bai Tiantian's neck. Although he couldn't reach her through the armor, the position was very intimidating.
"Get out of the way, or I'll kill him!" Lin Ping shouted sternly.
This sudden change shocked everyone, even the soldiers of the Wu Kingdom did not expect that Lin Ping would capture Bai Tiantian in this way.
As Bai Tiantian said, after the Black Iron Guard's commander was killed in action, the deputy commander took over the army.
But he was not killed in action and still had a chance to survive, so no one dared to joke about Bai Tiantian's life.
Seeing that Lin Ping was about to make a move against Bai Tiantian, hundreds of Black Iron Guards spontaneously made way for him.
"It seems your life is more important than the Black Iron Guards. Perhaps we can use you to exchange for the retreat of these 300,000 troops." Lin Ping rode Bai Tiantian's warhorse, retreating step by step.
"Three hundred thousand? How do you know that the Daye Dynasty sent out an army of three hundred thousand?" Bai Tiantian asked in surprise.
The Daye Dynasty always claimed to have an army of 100,000, and even in this attack, there were 200,000 men in the rear. No one ever mentioned the number 300,000.
"Oh no, I'm about to be exposed." Lin Ping felt a little flustered. He shouldn't have been so complacent.
Now that things have come to this, he's not afraid of revealing his identity anymore, since the mission of capturing Bai Tiantian alive has already been accomplished.
Lin Ping didn't want to reveal his identity so early. He figured this was just the beginning of a major war with the Daye Dynasty, and that he might still be able to use Bai Tiantian, this big fish.
That's right, he wanted to maintain a good image in Bai Tiantian's mind.
"So it really is an army of 300,000!" Lin Ping said angrily, as if he had discovered a shocking secret.
"You brat, are you trying to fool me?" Bai Tiantian said angrily.
Lin Ping used this tone to tell the other party: I didn't know you had 300,000 troops; you said it yourself.
This not only prevented Lin Ping's identity from being exposed, but also increased his popularity in Bai Tiantian's eyes.
"Kid, where are you taking me?" Bai Tiantian asked with a smile, her previous rage gone.
"Of course we're going back to the city. Do you mean I'm sending you back?" Lin Ping said sarcastically. Even though he had already guessed what Bai Tiantian was going to say, Lin Ping still deliberately played along with her act.
"Return to the city? Do you think anyone will open the city gates for you? With 300,000 troops of the Daye Dynasty pressing in, do you think those good-for-nothings from the Wu Kingdom would dare to open the city gates?" Bai Tiantian laughed dismissively.
“I captured the Great General of the Daye Dynasty, so they will naturally open the city gates,” Lin Ping argued.
"General? Who can prove I'm a general? According to normal thinking, most people would think we captured you and tricked them into opening the city gates." Bai Tiantian lay on her horse, simply waiting to watch the show.
Before long, Lin Ping brought Bai Tiantian to the city gate and shouted, "I have captured the general of the Daye Dynasty, open the city gate immediately!"
Lin Ping's loud voice echoed throughout the valley, and the soldiers on the city wall heard it clearly, but none of them paid any attention to him.
"Open the city gates! I've captured Bai Tiantian!" Lin Ping shouted angrily.
The result was the same; nobody wanted to talk to Lin Ping, this madman.
"It's no use. No one will believe you no matter how much you shout. They have not only abandoned you, but they also do not trust you. With your abilities, how could you be content to be a mere captain? Why don't you come back to the Daye Dynasty with me?"
Bai Tiantian spoke slowly and deliberately, never forgetting to persuade Lin Ping to surrender.
"Where is General Pang? I want to see General Pang." Lin Ping's momentum weakened slightly, clearly indicating that he was somewhat disheartened.
Since Bai Tiantian enjoys watching plays, Lin Ping should make his performance even more convincing.
A moment later, Pang Xingji appeared on the city wall and shouted back, "Don't think that you can trick us into opening the city gate by wearing the clothes of Wu Kingdom soldiers. If you don't go back, don't blame us for being impolite."
After saying that, Pang Xingji symbolically shot out several arrows, almost injuring Lin Ping.
"Hahaha, as the commander-in-chief, you don't even recognize a talent like you. You're utterly incompetent to the core." Bai Tiantian laughed heartily, enjoying watching Lin Ping's setbacks.
