Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

This victory greatly boosted the morale of Ling and his soldiers. They knew that as long as they worked together, they would be able to overcome all difficulties. The war was still going on, and their fighting spirit would never be extinguished. The victory of the battle not only strengthened their confidence, but also made Ling more firmly believe that as long as they united as one, they would be able to achieve the final victory.

Ling discovered that if no one cared about Li Yunlong, this kid would go crazy.

"Li Yunlong, monk." Ling suddenly spoke, his voice was no longer so cold, but still majestic.

Li Yunlong and the monk stopped what they were doing at the same time and looked at Ling nervously, "Boss, what's the matter?"

Ling hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "I know you are very tired and have been fighting hard during this period. I also understand that you want to relax. But I hope you understand that the environment we are in now does not allow us to relax at all. Every battle and every decision is to fight for the chance of survival for our brothers."

Li Yunlong nodded, his eyes showing determination, "Boss, we know we were wrong. We will strictly abide by the discipline in the future and never hold the team back again!"

"I believe in you." Ling's tone softened a little, "But I hope this is not just talk, but real action."

The monk whispered, "Boss, we understand. No matter how tired or hard it is in the future, we will never make this mistake again."

Ling looked at them and nodded slightly, "Okay, remember what you said today."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the house. The night breeze blew by, and Ling's mood finally calmed down a little. He looked up at the night sky. The stars were dim, and the battlefield in the distance was still filled with smoke. Ling knew that the battle was far from over, and their responsibilities would become heavier.

"Li Yunlong, monk." Ling whispered to himself, "You are all good soldiers, but to become an excellent commander, you need stronger discipline and sense of responsibility. I will watch you grow, but I will never tolerate any slackness."

He stepped forward, having already decided in his heart that he would call all the commanders to a meeting tomorrow morning to reiterate the importance of discipline and formulate a stricter battle plan. Ling knew that only with strict discipline and careful planning could they survive this cruel war and truly seek justice for the brothers who had sacrificed their lives.

Meanwhile, in the mud house, Li Yunlong and the monk were quietly cleaning up the mess, their hearts full of self-blame and regret. They knew that Ling's reprimand was for their own good and for the safety of the entire team. The two looked at each other and made the same decision in their hearts - from now on, they would never make such a mistake again and would never let Ling down again.

"Old Li, we have to be more careful next time. We can't be so confused as we were today." The monk whispered

Ling discovered that if no one cared about Li Yunlong, this kid would go crazy.

Ling walked in the night, unable to calm down for a long time. He knew Li Yunlong's character very well. This kid was unruly in nature. Although he was extremely brave on the battlefield, he always caused all kinds of trouble in private. Ling knew that Li Yunlong was a talented general, but he was also a person who did not play by the rules. If no one strictly controlled him, this kid would cause big trouble sooner or later.

"I can't let him go any longer," Ling thought to himself, "Li Yunlong is becoming more and more disobedient. If he continues like this, he will definitely cause some trouble."

Thinking of this, Ling quickened his pace and walked directly to Li Yunlong's residence. He decided to have a good talk with Li Yunlong tonight and make this kid understand the importance of discipline.

Li Yunlong's residence was a simple mud house with a dim oil lamp hanging at the door. Ling pushed open the door and saw Li Yunlong sitting at the table, looking at several battle maps, with a dry cigarette in his mouth, and a focused expression.

"Boss, why are you here again?" Li Yunlong raised his head and saw Ling standing at the door. He quickly stood up with a hint of surprise in his tone.

"Why, am I here at an inopportune time?" Ling looked at him coldly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

"No way, boss. You're always welcome to come." Li Yunlong hurriedly came forward with a smile, but Ling's expression made him feel a little uneasy.

Ling walked into the room, looked around, and then sat directly on the chair opposite Li Yunlong, and said in a cold tone: "Li Yunlong, I came here specifically to talk to you tonight."

Li Yunlong's heart tightened, knowing that Ling had something to say, so he quickly put away his smile and said seriously: "Boss, just tell me what you want to say, I'm listening."

Ling looked at Li Yunlong with a sharp gaze. "I know you are a good fighter and I know you are good at leading troops. But I also find that you have become more and more arrogant recently. Do the words discipline still matter to you?"

Li Yunlong was shocked when he heard this, and quickly explained: "Boss, I didn't forget the discipline, it's just... sometimes after a battle, I feel too nervous and want to relax."

"Relax?" Ling sneered, "Li Yunlong, don't you think you are becoming more and more self-righteous? What is discipline? It is to protect the lives of soldiers and to ensure that we do not make fatal mistakes in battle. And what about you? You took the lead in drinking and acting on your own, and you still think you are not wrong?"

Li Yunlong was somewhat speechless after Ling's questioning. He lowered his head and dared not look directly into Ling's eyes. He said with a guilty tone: "Boss, I know that I sometimes do things wrong, but don't worry, I am always serious about fighting and will never slack off on the battlefield."

Ling sighed, and his tone softened a little, but still stern, "I know you are never vague in battle, and that's why I'm even more worried. Li Yunlong, your talent and courage are unquestionable, but your biggest weakness is that you are too confident, even a little arrogant. You think you can handle everything and you don't need to follow all the rules, but you forget that accidents can happen at any time on the battlefield, and if something goes wrong with you, it may affect the entire team."

When Li Yunlong heard this, he felt ashamed deep down in his heart. He knew Ling was right and that he had indeed gotten carried away. Although he always laughed and joked on the surface, he was actually gradually growing uneasy in his heart. He raised his head, looked into Ling's eyes, and said solemnly: "Boss, I admit that you are right. I am indeed a little too confident. I promise to strictly abide by the discipline in the future and not do anything reckless again."

Ling nodded, his tone still calm, "I hope you can remember what I said today. Discipline is the soul of the army. Without discipline, no matter how much courage and wisdom we have, we will fail in the end. You are the backbone of the team and a role model for the soldiers. If you don't abide by the discipline yourself, what else can others do?"

Li Yunlong nodded heavily, "Boss, I understand. Don't worry, I will never make such a low-level mistake again."

Ling looked at him, his eyes softened. "Li Yunlong, I have high expectations of you, and you know that. Your talent and courage are indispensable to our army, but at the same time, you must understand that as a commander, you must always remain calm and self-disciplined. Only in this way can you lead everyone to victory."

Li Yunlong felt a hint of concern in Ling's tone, and was touched. He knew that Ling was never a person who got angry easily, and Ling was so strict tonight, all for his own good. He took a deep breath, and said firmly, "Boss, thank you, I will remember your words and will not let you down."

Ling nodded with satisfaction, then stood up and patted Li Yunlong on the shoulder. "Okay, now that you understand, I'm relieved. Now you go and rest, we still have to fight tomorrow."

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Okay, Boss, you should also go to bed early."

Ling turned and left Li Yunlong's residence. Walking in the camp, he felt a little more relaxed. He knew that Li Yunlong had a strong sense of self-esteem, but he was also a person who knew how to reflect on himself. Although this kid sometimes did something out of line, he would correct it as long as he was reminded in time.

However, Ling knew that a single conversation alone would not completely solve the problem. Li Yunlong's character determined that he was destined to be an uneasy guy. Even if he listened to him this time, he might still make trouble again in the future. Thinking of this, Ling secretly decided to supervise Li Yunlong more strictly in the future and never let this kid make similar mistakes again.

The next morning, just after the sun rose, the camp was already filled with a busy atmosphere. Soldiers were nervously preparing at their respective posts, checking their weapons, sorting their equipment, and getting ready for the next battle.

Ling stood in the middle of the camp and looked around. He saw Li Yunlong leading several soldiers to distribute ammunition. He was focused and meticulous, not at all lazy like he was last night. Ling nodded, and his worries were slightly relieved.

At this time, Zhao Gang came over and whispered to Ling: "Boss, we have made new discoveries from last night's reconnaissance. There may be an ambush by the Japanese on the route that Li Yunlong and his team took."

Ling frowned, "Ambush by the devils? What exactly is going on?"

Zhao Gang handed over a rough map and pointed to one of the spots and said, "According to our intelligence, some Japanese troops have recently appeared near this route. Their movements are very covert, and they may be preparing to ambush us. If Li Yunlong and his men advance along this route, they are likely to be attacked."

Ling looked at the map, pondered for a moment, and then said decisively: "Notify Li Yunlong immediately and ask him to change the route and not take any risks."

Zhao Gang nodded, "Okay, I'll do it right away."

Ling watched Zhao Gang leave, and felt a little uneasy again. War is always full of variables, and even the most cautious plan may be put in danger due to unexpected circumstances. Although Li Yunlong promised that he would strictly abide by the discipline, on the battlefield, unexpected situations often make people unable to help but take risky actions.

Ling couldn't help but sigh, "Li Yunlong, don't act on your own this time."

However, Ling's concerns were not misplaced.

Half an hour later, Zhao Gang hurried back, his face full of anxiety, "Boss, this is bad! Li Yunlong and his men have already set off, and they are taking that route!"

Ling's heart sank suddenly, and his scalp suddenly felt numb, "What? He dares to take that route?"

Zhao Gang panted and said anxiously: "When our people rushed to notify them, Li Yunlong had already set off with the team. He said that although that route was dangerous, it could save time, so he decided to take the risk!"

Ling's anger flared up again. He knew that Li Yunlong was such a disobedient guy. Once he made a decision, ten oxen could not pull him back.

On a cool autumn night, Ling was checking the map in the headquarters, thinking about the next battle plan. Li Yunlong kicked the door open and ran in breathlessly, waving a tattered piece of paper in his hand. "Old Ling! I found their ammunition depot! Take a look!"

Ling looked up at Li Yunlong, took the piece of paper, and examined it carefully. There was a crude map drawn on the paper with some strange symbols marked on it. Ling frowned, "What is this?"

Li Yunlong smiled proudly, "I got this from a prisoner. They hid a batch of ammunition in a cave nearby. We should be able to find it according to the markings on this map."

Ling's eyes lit up. This was undoubtedly timely news. He immediately stood up and called Zhao Gang and several capable men over. "Zhao Gang, what do you think about this?"

Zhao Gang stroked his graying temples and frowned slightly, "Li Yunlong is always truthful, so this picture should be real. However, this place is close to the enemy-occupied area, so we have to be careful."
