Originally, a team of people came here to report the news and wanted to move reinforcements. Except for Lin Yan, everyone from the top to the bottom of the team died, and no one was spared!
Lin Yan, who escaped from the city, ran on the road with Lao Ma's last instructions.
The situation now is different from when they came. It is no longer as peaceful as before, but the light of fire can be seen faintly in the distance.
"Have the barbarians already invaded?" Lin Yan thought to himself.
This attack was obviously not about one or a few of their camps, but the entire Cangzhou Prefecture. It was foreseeable that he was definitely not the only villain like Zhao Zhen who was treasonous and seeking glory.
On weekdays, these people are no different from everyone else, and even appear to be more loyal and patriotic on the surface. But at this critical moment, these wolf cubs who have been corrupted by the enemy will ruthlessly attack their own people behind their backs. Stab a knife into the ground, and start without hesitation.
Due to the concealment of these people, they can always obtain more or less important information on weekdays. The higher the position, the more information they obtain, and the greater the impact!
Now the entire Cangzhou Prefecture has been turned into a mess by these rebels and barbarians, and there is no safe place left!
"Where can I report this news?" Lin Yan thought in his mind.
Lao Ma didn't explain much just now. Maybe he himself didn't know who else to go to at this time! The strongest backing for these soldiers has turned into a sharp sword that stabs them. So who else in the entire Cangzhou Prefecture can be trusted?
Moreover, apart from the comrades in his own battalion, there are not many opportunities to interact with other battalions on weekdays. It is difficult for soldiers like me to know the other party's commander.
Before departure, other teams had actually gone to each battalion to report the news. If they succeeded, there would be a counterattack; if they failed, then Lin Yan's further visit would have no effect.
Manpower is sometimes scarce! Not to mention that he is now a down-and-out warrior wandering around the Tongmai realm. Even if he still has the strength of the past, facing such a situation, there is no good way to think about it.
This is war, unless your strength has reached its peak, and thousands of troops can be wiped out with the wave of your hand! Otherwise, relying on one's own power to influence the situation of the war would be nothing more than wishful thinking!
Nowadays, even if there are still resistance forces in each battalion, it is not too much to think about, and it will have little effect on the entire war situation.
After all, since the barbarians dared to take action, they must have thought of any possible situation and knew the military power of Cangzhou Prefecture well. Now that his own camp has been attacked, other camps will not be spared either.
If no one is targeting him, then he may be with the barbarians and have turned against him, which makes him even more dangerous!
In most cases, the traitor wishes the death of his former comrade far more than the enemy. Because the other party is alive, the traitor will feel that he is always inferior to others, and he will always bear the accusations of the other party. It seems that only by completely obliterating his former comrade can the traitor's heart calm down!
Therefore, the hysterical madness of the traitor due to various factors such as his own shame is extremely terrifying!
Although Zhao Zhen is dead, Lin Yan vaguely feels that things should not be that simple, and there may be other people behind him. After all, this is a conspiracy against a land. Can Captain Zuo Guoyi really do it with him?
Therefore, Lin Yan didn't trust even the higher-ups. Maybe at this time, there is only one person who will not rebel against the Tang Dynasty, and that is the emperor-Li Junlin!
He is the most powerful person in this country. It is impossible for him to oppose himself!
But this person, this person at the pinnacle of the Tang Kingdom, was not something that a small soldier like him could see. When they were in the academy before, Li Zongsheng and Mo Li were also sons of officials, and they could be trusted.
However, this place is located on the border, with high mountains and long roads. I don’t know how long it will take to reach Chang’an by myself. The opportunity to fight is fleeting, and once it is too late, Cangzhou Prefecture will fall completely. By that time, the news will have little meaning. At most, it will just convey bad news!
After thinking about it, the only thing I can do now is report the news to the neighboring Qingzhou Prefecture, hoping that they can quickly send troops to help, and maybe there is a chance!
Upon thinking of this, Lin Yan no longer hesitated and immediately set off for Qingzhou Mansion. Of course, it's definitely not possible to just run there. A means of transportation is indispensable.
But there is no need to worry about this. Civil wars are raging in Cangzhou Prefecture now, and when barbarians enter the country, it is not difficult to grab a war horse!
After Lin Yan roughly identified the direction, he headed towards a place of fire closest to him. The closer he got, the more he could hear cries, shouts and the wild laughter of the barbarians.
This is a small village. Because it is not far from the capital city, it is considered prosperous on weekdays. But now, the barbarians who suddenly entered the country instantly shattered the original peace, and these people were also devastated!
"This is all my family's savings, please..." A middle-aged man clutched a bundle tightly and begged a barbarian soldier. But before he could finish speaking, the soldier raised his knife and chopped off his head.
"What a waste! Bah!" the barbarian soldier spat, then turned around and continued to plunder. If you move slowly, the things will be snatched away by other barbarians. This is not okay!
"Please, let my daughter go!" An old man begged on his knees with a hoarse voice.
"Dad! Dad!" A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old was struggling. Two barbarian soldiers were holding her down hard, and the other was ruthlessly tearing the girl's clothes.
"This old guy is so annoying, watch me kill him with one knife!" said the barbarian who tore off his clothes.
"No, let this old guy watch how his daughter is so comfortable being served by us later! Huh? Hahaha..." Another barbarian said, and then let out a burst of obscene laughter.
"You're still good at playing, it's exciting just thinking about it! Okay, let's do it this way, let this old man feast his eyes too! Hahaha..." The former laughed when he heard the words, and at the same time, his hands moved faster, ignoring the girl's cries. With the old man's pleading, he is still ready to show his bestiality!
In addition, the corpses of Tang people were everywhere. Some women's corpses were missing, and it was obvious that they had experienced inhumane treatment before their death. But those barbarians are still laughing wildly, killing people and setting fires, continuing their atrocities, poisoning the people here like devils.
"Beast!" Lin Yan cursed secretly, immediately stopped hesitating, unsheathed his sword and ran over.
The three barbarians who were violently attacking the girl heard the footsteps and were about to turn around to check. Lin Yan was approaching and slashed out. The barbarian who tore the woman's clothes had been decapitated and his dead body fell to the ground!
The other two companions were horrified and immediately drew their swords to resist. But how could Lin Yan give them this chance? His body flashed rapidly, the sword flew in his hand, and both of them died!
Lin Yan threw his coat to the frightened girl and said, "You and your father should run away for your lives! Remember, go inside!"
Now that Cangzhou Prefecture will fall sooner or later, it will only be more dangerous to stay here. Only by continuing to run into the country can there be a chance of survival!
"Thank you... thank you!" The girl tightened her jacket and said with a trembling voice.
The old man also thanked her profusely, took the girl and ran for his life.
No matter when in a war, it is often these ordinary people who suffer the greatest harm.
Lin Yan killed three people in a row. This move naturally attracted the attention of other barbarians. They immediately surrounded him, and anyone who dared to resist them would be killed by them without exception!
Looking at the eight cavalry charging towards him, Lin Yan silently wiped the blood off the blade with his sleeve, and then shouted: "Kill!"
He rushed out with an indomitable momentum, as if he wanted to release the depression in his chest in one breath. At this moment, he had no extra thoughts in his mind, and even forgot his original purpose of snatching the war horse.
Lin Yan only had one thought in his mind, that is, these barbarians in front of him must die. Even gods and Buddhas cannot save them!
One man against eight cavalry, the barbarians were already roaring and slashing at Lin Yan, but he was not afraid, one man with one sword, and moved forward indomitably!
kill! kill! kill!
Lin Yan raised his knife and lowered it. The head of the barbarian in front was cut off, and the headless body was still charging forward.
"One!" Lin Yan said lightly.
Then he slashed with his sword and directly cut off the legs of the horse that stepped over. The war horse fell to the ground with a neigh, and the barbarian riding on it also fell to the ground.
Before he could stand up, Lin Yan's knife had already been inserted into his chest, and the latter's life came to an abrupt end at this moment.
"Two!" Lin Yan continued.
Listening to Lin Yan's whispers, I thought about how this guy would kill two people on his side in just one encounter. No, if you add the three at the beginning, it’s five!
Where did this person escape from? He is obviously alone, but why is it so frightening?
The remaining barbarians were all horrified, and one person said with a trembling voice: "Quick! Kill him! Kill him!"
Driven by fear, the barbarians continued to charge towards Lin Yan!
Once a person's fear reaches its limit, it will evolve into extreme anger! At this moment, these barbarians are thinking angrily in their hearts: "There are so many of us, but we are still proud barbarian warriors! He is just a Tang man, how dare he, how dare..."
However, even if the anger dissipated some fear, the situation in the field still did not change much. Lin Yan's hunting continued. Every time he swung his sword, a barbarian would die!
"Three...four...five..." Lin Yan was still counting. He seemed to have transformed into a killing god at this moment, but these barbarians were like lambs to be slaughtered, and could only be killed one by one by him. Kill mercilessly.
"Ah!" After so many people died, the remaining barbarians finally couldn't stand it anymore!
Obviously they have more people and better riding skills, so they should be the ones with the advantage! But why? Why? Those who died were all their people, but this seemingly ordinary young man became more and more courageous as he fought. If this continues, sooner or later they will all be killed by this guy!
"We can't stay here any longer!" This is their common thought at this moment. As long as they can escape from here, there is still a glimmer of hope!
When they think about it, if they can't fight, why can't they run away? No matter how brave this boy is, his two legs will never be able to catch up with his four legs. They still have confidence in their riding skills!
As for the horses left behind, huh, just kidding! It is impossible for anyone who is not the owner of a war horse to tame an enemy's war horse in such a short period of time!
Lin Yan frowned, then took a look at a war horse beside him, and then got on the horse. At first, War Horse thought about throwing this guy off, but the next moment, he was overwhelmed by the terrifying aura emanating from Lin Yan.
That was not brought about by realm strength, but a terrifying killing intent condensed to the extreme. Animals are more aware of danger than humans, so intimidated by Lin Yan's power, he didn't even dare to move!
"Drive!" Lin Yan drove the horse forward, and then the war horse ran under his driving, chasing the fleeing barbarians at extremely fast speeds.
At this moment, he doesn't want to let anyone go!
The barbarians who thought they had escaped were shocked. They couldn't figure out how Lin Yan did it! Even if they are so-called "warriors on horseback", it is impossible to tame the enemy's horses on the battlefield!
However, they could no longer think too much at this moment, Lin Yan had already bent his bow and arrow, aiming at them.
"Six! Seven!" Lin Yan shot arrows one after another, and the barbarians fell off their horses one after another.
However, the war horse under the last barbarian's crotch was a bit too fast. Seeing that he was about to be unable to catch up, Lin Yan put away his bow and arrows and held the horizontal knife in his hand tightly as if to throw it.
"Whoosh!" The horizontal knife roared out like a stream of light, rushing towards the barbarian with unrivaled momentum, and then stabbed his chest in his horrified eyes, and the huge force even took him away. The war horse was nailed to the ground!
"Eight! All together!" Lin Yan said lightly.
The barbarian vomited blood and said intermittently: "Who are you..."
Lin Yan said expressionlessly: "Just a Tang man!"
After that, he slowly pulled out the knife from the barbarian, and the latter died of anger. At this point, a small barbarian team was completely destroyed in Lin Yan's hands.
"All this has just begun!" Lin Yan said, and then drove his horse in the direction of Qingzhou Mansion...
