Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter
Chapter 512 - 511: Taking the Initiative, First Battle Victory_1Chapter 512: Chapter 511: Taking the Initiative, First Battle Victory_1
The Tiger’s Mouth was attacked, the soldiers defending it suffered heavily. Out of a small squad of fifty people, only fifteen were lucky enough not to be injured.
The rest were either dead or injured, unable to fight.
Lin Jinxu was badly injured, it would take a while for him to recover. He didn’t want to slow everyone down, so he voluntarily stayed behind.
Lin Qingluo, along with five teenagers and the uninjured soldiers, immediately set off under the cover of darkness, heading to the gorge to set up an ambush.
The gorge was not far from the Tiger’s Mouth, only about a mile away in a straight line.
The soldiers who had been stationed at the Tiger’s Mouth for many years knew the terrain well. They took the teenagers and soldiers along a lesser-used path, through a winding and deep mountain stream, successfully arriving at the gorge before dawn.
The deep mountain gorge was filled with towering rocks and dense trees.
Even in winter, the falling leaves and the thick tree trunks were ideal for setting up an ambush and blocking enemy soldiers.
Wang Meng and Shitou each led a team of soldiers to fell trees on either side of the gorge.
Lin Qingluo used his mana to move massive rocks, placing them at appropriate locations at both ends of the canyon for future use.
Lin Jinyun, Lin Jinlong, and Feng Yi, three teenagers who were skilled archers, hid at different locations within the valley, each carrying a quiver and waiting for the right moment to kill the enemy.
Feng Yi carried an additional hundred arrows, ready to show his prowess.
When dawn broke, as Lin Qingluo anticipated, the thick black smog was extraordinarily harsh on the eyes.
Several Shichen had passed without any good news reaching the impatient enemy general, who was furious and immediately ordered a retreat.
The army of thousands retreated orderly, covered by the dense forest, heading back the way they came.
When they entered the gorge, the enemy general had an uneasy feeling based on his years of experience fighting enemies and ordered his troops to move quickly.
Little Kingfisher hovered above the gorge, monitoring the movements of the enemy. Once all the enemy troops entered the gorge, she relayed their location to her master through mind transmission.
Lin Qingluo fired a signal arrow, sending a command to the soldiers on both sides of the gorge to unleash a rain of large rocks, effectively sealing the narrow pathway.
“Swish, swish, swish.”
Lin Jinyun and Lin Jinlong did not waste any time and targeted the enemy commanders leading the troops, firing their arrows at once.
Feng Yi shot three arrows consecutively, knocking three commanders off their horses.
Without their commanders to lead them, the enemy soldiers scattered around the gorge like headless flies.
Some tried to escape by climbing the steep cliffs.
“Swish, swish, swish.”
Lin Jinyun, Lin Jinlong, and Feng Yi did not show mercy, shooting down anyone who tried to escape. freёweɓnovel.com
“Rumble, Rumble.”
Large tree trunks tumbled down from both sides of the gorge, bringing a terrifying threat of death to those in the valley. Painful cries echoed through the gorge.
“Yin’er, start the fire.”
Lin Qingluo looked on, his gaze icy as if he was the God of War looking down from the peak of the cliff.
“Okay.”
After receiving instructions, Little Kingfisher took a deep breath and exhaled a burst of scorching flames. Within moments, the bottom of the gorge lit up, transforming it into a hell on earth.

The victory at the Tiger’s Mouth made the youngsters famous overnight.
Out of the tens of thousands of attacking enemy soldiers, barely one in ten managed to escape. This battle severely damaged the arrogant reign of Beiming.
Xia Yan, the Monarch of Beiming, had to face the bitter taste of defeat, just like Xia Houchun, the Monarch of Beiqi. They had to withdraw their forces and temporarily abandon their plans for annexation.
The border regions of the four countries calmed down temporarily, allowing the border civilians and soldiers to recuperate.
New soldiers were stationed at the Tiger’s Mouth, while Lin Jinxu took his siblings back to the Phoenix Pass camp to heal.
Lin Jinzhou was also there. The reunion of the siblings was an overwhelming joy.
Lin Jinyun, Lin Jinlong, Wang Meng, Shitou, and Feng Yi, these five young men, quickly matured amidst the tests of war. Their intelligent and capable manner won the unanimous praise of the military officers of the Lin Clan.
Lin Qingluo, posing as a young man, infiltrated the camp and was as free and comfortable as a fish in water.
