"Listen to my order and break out quickly!" Lin Yan made a decisive decision and shouted loudly.
The current siege network has not yet been completely formed, and there is still a chance to take advantage of it. Once the place is completely surrounded, it will be too late!
However, even though his reaction was very fast, the effect of leading the cavalry to attack was not very good, and he was blocked every time he broke through.
Obviously, the other party's move was not accidental, but a situation specially set for him!
But until now, Lin Yan still had a lot of confusion in his heart. Although he was not belittling himself, Lin Yan asked himself: What virtues and abilities are worthy of the other party setting up such a battle to deal with him?
However, after thinking about it carefully, Lin Yan realized that since he was ordered to lead a team to explore the intelligence, this journey seemed to have been arranged in advance. Step by step, you walk into the enemy's prepared pocket, while the opponent is waiting for work and waiting for the rabbit?
But now he can no longer think too much. If he is not careful, all the men and horses he brought may be buried here!
"Old Zhong, integrate the troops, use me as the vanguard, and attack in a 'cone formation'!" Lin Yan ordered again.
Being continuously besieged would only lead to death. They were cavalry, so as long as they could rush out, they would have a chance to evacuate temporarily.
"Yes!" Old Zhong responded.
Immediately, he quickly gathered his troops and prepared to follow Lin Yan to charge again.
Soon, led by Lin Yan, the cavalry attack began again. With Lin Yan charging ahead, the encirclement was finally torn open, and he led the cavalry to rush out.
However, just when they were about to successfully break through the encirclement, a three-edged silver dart flew towards him, almost knocking him off his horse. Lin Yan dodged the blow at the last moment, and then found that the silver dart turned upside down. It turned out that there was a long rope tied to its tail.
Lin Yan also knew something about this kind of weapon. This thing is called a "rope dart". It is a soft weapon made by tying a metal dart head to one end of a long rope. It can also be used as a hidden weapon.
Under normal circumstances, the length of the rope is twice the user's height. It can be used for throwing long-distance strikes, shortening attacks, restraining and concealing, and striking suddenly. It is a sharp weapon.
However, this kind of weapon has very high requirements for its users, and it cannot be used proficiently without a long period of hard work. Lin Yan did not expect that he would be lucky enough to see it today.
Because Lin Yan, the vanguard, was blocked, and the enemy quickly suppressed it with a wave of arrows, the Tang Army was forced to retreat. In this way, the opportunity to break out has passed again.
"Who is coming?" Lin Yan shouted.
On ordinary days, when encountering such a rare opponent, he might have the idea to compete with the opponent to confirm what he has learned. But now he is in a life-and-death crisis. If the other party insists on stopping him, he will have no choice but to kill him!
"Haha, you are Yan Ling, right? You've killed so many people from my barbarian tribe and still want to leave. It's too disrespectful!" The man with the rope dart as a weapon stepped out slowly on horseback and looked at Lin Yan.
Then he smiled and said: "Don't be so nervous. How about we talk? I am Shuhu, the "Captain of Thousands" under General Pulan. The general appreciates your talents very much! If you are willing to surrender, there must be senior officials Great salary!"
Lin Yan glanced at him, and then said: "It turns out that I want to surrender. I have a small request. If you can meet it, it is not impossible to negotiate."
When Shu Hu heard this, he thought Lin Yan was being moved, and there was a hint of contempt in his eyes, thinking: "This Tang Dynasty man named 'Yan Ling' was planning to surrender when he saw that the situation was not going well, and he didn't have any arrogance as a soldier. , I really don’t know why the general values him!”
In fact, Shu Hu was jealous in his heart, so he specifically requested to lead the team here. Once Lin Yan refuses, he can also kill the other party with his own hands!
Shu Hu said: "What are the conditions? Let's talk about it! Don't worry, as long as it's not too much, I can try to satisfy you."
Lin Yan smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just want to see you use your head! After all, it's not appropriate to come back empty-handed after a long trip, so..."
Then he looked cold and said in an icy voice: "I think your Excellency will be willing to make it happen!"
Shu Hu was stunned when he heard this, and then a look of astonishment appeared on his face. He really didn't expect that Lin Yan would dare to speak provocatively when he was in danger now. He didn't know whether it was because he didn't know whether to live or die, or because he really had something to rely on.
But he prefers the former. After all, even if it were him, there would be only a dead end in this situation!
Shuhu slowly turned the rope dart in his hand, and said in a cold voice: "I have already given you a chance! Since you are seeking death, you can't blame me! Just in time, taking your head will definitely be worth a lot of money Merit!”
Lin Yan didn't care about it. In fact, in the previous battle of Cangzhou Prefecture, the name Yan Ling had been widely circulated among the barbarian army. Of course, it was basically a "bad name", and few barbarian soldiers encountered him. Can survive.
To the barbarian army, this boy is a complete "god of death". Once they meet, he will ruthlessly harvest their lives!
Not enough words to speculate! Since the conditions cannot be negotiated, fighting is inevitable.
"While I'm dealing with that Shuhu, with the golden spear and silver sword as the leader, quickly look for opportunities to break out!" Lin Yan gave a brief explanation and then rode towards Shuhu to attack.
The horizontal sword was unsheathed, and Lin Yan was already in front of Shuhu. He raised the sword and slashed hard at his head.
"Well done!" Shu Hu laughed loudly, and then suddenly threw the rope dart, hitting Lin Yan's blade.
Affected by the force of the counter-shock, the bodies of both parties shook suddenly, and then they quickly released their strength and fought together again.
This was Lin Yan's first encounter with a weapon like a rope dart, and it was at this time that he truly felt how difficult it was.
This kind of weapon can be used both offensively and defensively, and is good at both long and short range attacks. It is like a poisonous snake that always chooses people to devour. If you are not careful, you will attack from unexpected angles and take people's lives!
This Shuhu is no ordinary person. The rope darts are flexible and changeable in his hands, and his attacks are tricky and vicious. His own strength is not bad, and the danger of the rope darts is amplified many times.
Lin Yan's horizontal sword was limited by its length, so he still had some advantages in close combat. Once the opponent opened the distance, he would fall into the embarrassing situation of being passively beaten.
When the two were fighting, Monk Chen and Guo Toad also charged forward with gold spears and silver swords, leading the cavalry to break through. After Lin Yan held Shu Hu back, the breakout became obviously easier.
However, they soon encountered resistance. Shu Hu also had many subordinates with outstanding abilities. At this time, four centurions led the troops in front of the golden spear and silver sword to prevent them from continuing to break through.
"Kill!" There are no unnecessary words. At this moment, the only way to survive is to rush forward and tear open a bloody path!
The battle between Lin Yan and Shu Hu has also reached a fever pitch. The two sides are going back and forth, and the fight is extremely fierce. There seemed to be a vacuum area around them, so that others did not dare to approach easily for fear of being mercilessly bombarded!
"Boy, you do have some abilities! However, you can't escape defeat after all!" Shu Hu roared.
"Really? But I have already foreseen your death!" Lin Yan sneered.
While fighting each other, the two sides also spoke from time to time in an attempt to influence the other's psychology, thereby achieving the effect of defeating the enemy in one fell swoop.
Suddenly, the three-edged silver dart missed Lin Yan and seemed to have missed the target. Lin Yan seized the opportunity and quickly attacked him with a knife.
But at this moment, a sinister smile appeared on Shu Hu's lips and said: "Boy, you have fallen into a trap!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the rope dart that had failed flew back quickly, and then entangled Lin Yan. At the same time, Shu Hu took out his saber from his waist, slashed it at Lin Yan's neck, and sneered: "I'll take your head!"
According to this situation, Lin Yan could not move his hands. He rushed forward as if he had taken the initiative to rush towards the steel knife in Shu Hu's hand and sent himself to the guillotine!
At this critical moment, Lin Yan stood on horseback and flew up. He let go of the horizontal knife in his hand, and then used a golden hook hanging upside down to kick the horizontal knife away. It hit Xiang Shuhu like an arrow off the string. .
Since Lin Yan's understanding of "the art of cutting" has reached a very deep level, the difference in the use of vitality between his hands and feet is not very big.
With this blow at this moment, he had poured all the vitality containing "Gengjin Qi" into the horizontal sword, causing it to strike out with the force of wind and thunder.
"Flying Blade!"
Lin Yan shouted, this is the sixth form of "Ghost Slash". All attacks are included in this sword. The main purpose is to kill with one strike!
Shuhu was horrified when he saw this, and was about to put away his sword to resist, but the flying horizontal sword had already passed through his head with thunderous force.
"Snapped!"
Shuhu's head exploded like a ripe watermelon, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. In the blink of an eye, a headless corpse fell from the horse.
Lin Yan untied the rope darts that were tied to his body and said calmly: "It's a pity that I can't take my head back!"
As soon as Shuhu died, the barbarian army began to panic. After all, they did not expect that their leader would be killed by this young man so quickly.
Monk Chen, holding a golden spear, and Guo Toad, holding a silver sword, also killed the centurions leading the troops to retreat, and soon broke out of the siege.
"Let's go!" Lin Yan shouted, and the others immediately stopped entangled with the barbarians and quickly evacuated the battlefield.
Their main purpose here is to explore intelligence, not to fight endlessly against the barbarians. Continuing to fight has no meaning except increasing casualties.
Moreover, the attack this time is very strange. It is best to evacuate first and then make a long-term plan!
Soon, Lin Yan and the remaining Tang army cavalry disappeared from the sight of the barbarian army, and the barbarian army, which had lost its leader, was no longer able to pursue...
After Lin Yan and his group galloped for a long time, they slowly stopped. After counting the men and horses, Lin Yan's face darkened. In this attack, he lost about ten cavalrymen. If we can't get out of trouble quickly, we don't know how many lives will be left!
Since they were attacked, the cavalry sent out to deliver the message may not go well. In any case, the news about the barbarians must be sent back to the camp in time, so they can't wait to return!
"Team up, my subordinates know a shortcut to get back to the camp quickly!" Old Zhong said.
Lin Yan glanced at him and said, "Okay, Lao Zhong, you come to lead the way!"
Lao Zhong rode his horse to the front and galloped away with Lin Yan and his party. After a while, they came to a pile of rocks.
Suddenly, Lao Zhong stopped and said: "Commander, we are here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two figures in black robes walked out from the pile of rocks, and their aura suddenly exuded. Both of them turned out to be masters of the acquired realm!
Lin Yan looked at the two people who suddenly appeared, then turned to look at Lao Zhong, and said coldly: "Is this the so-called 'seeing the poor dagger'!"
