The number of people in his hands was seriously insufficient, which Li Zongsheng naturally knew from the beginning.
If you want to succeed, the only way is to take the wrong approach. Originally there was no hope even so, but he met Lin Yan.
He knew that Lin Yan was very strong at the moment, but he couldn't estimate the latter's level, so he was naturally uneasy in his heart.
However, it was not all because he cared about the success or failure of the mission, but more because he cared about Lin Yan's own safety.
After all, there was a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves. Even if Lin Yan had some companions, he would have a narrow escape from death if he did such a thing. If he had no other choice, Li Zongsheng was really unwilling to drag Lin Yan into the water.
Now that the west of the city is in chaos, if nothing unexpected happens, Lin Yan and the others should have succeeded, but they don't know if they can escape.
At this time, Song Kui was already furious. Naturally, he knew what the explosions and chaos represented. Turning the impossible into reality made him feel a strong sense of unreality. At the same time, his heart rose. He became angry and gritted his teeth and said, "Am I wrong? No, no, it's not me who's wrong, it's you people! It's you!"
He suddenly became excited and shouted: "Kill them! Quick, kill them for me!"
The surrounding barbarian troops soon took action again and launched a siege against the remaining Li Zongsheng and others.
This does not mean that Song Kui, who had surrendered, could gain such great power in an instant and could command the barbarian army. It's just that now he and these barbarians are on the same front, and everyone has the same goal, so the barbarian army will not contradict his will.
But in essence, this is not an order. Once Song Kui does something that endangers the barbarians, he will be liquidated immediately.
"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts!" The barbarians still understand this sentence. Even if Song Kui surrenders, they will not be able to completely trust this person in a short period of time and give him huge power and all arrangements. , all just to make better use of him!
Song Kui is not a fool. He also wants to maximize his role in this incident to prove his worth to the barbarians.
Now is the time to employ people. With your own abilities, you will definitely be able to find a way out. As for whether he works for the Eastern Tang Dynasty or the Southern Barbarians, it doesn't make any difference to him, as long as he can get the status and resources he wants!
Things should have been moving forward in the direction he had planned without fail, but now something unexpected happened. Anyway, Li Zongsheng and others will have no use in the future. It just so happens that Song Kui has also disliked him for a long time, and now he can solve the trouble!
The barbarian troops on both sides came like a tide. Li Zongsheng and the others were like a lonely boat in the roaring waves, which could capsize at any time.
Although the numbers of both sides were not proportional at all, they could not just sit back and wait for death. They waved their weapons and faced them.
"kill!"
The shouts of killing were loud, and the two sides started a deadly fight, but the people on Li Zongsheng's side were still injured and died under the impact of the barbarian army.
At the end, only Li Zongsheng was standing in the field. His clothes were in tatters and scarred, and one arm was hanging weakly. It must have been broken in the chaos just now.
His steps staggered, blood continued to flow from his forehead, and his eyelids were almost unable to be raised, and the blood blurred his vision.
By this point in the battle, Li Zongsheng had already lost all his strength, but he was still holding on with a sense of faith, holding the sword in his hand tightly and refusing to let go.
Song Kui's eyes were cold and stern, he waved his hand and said: "Kill him!"
At this moment, he didn't want to be sarcastic or anything, it was all meaningless behavior. Only by killing Li Zongsheng first can he feel at ease, and then think about what happened in the west of the city.
The barbarian army's sword was about to reach them, when suddenly a stream of light flew from a distance and crashed down with the force of thunder, directly knocking away all the besieging barbarian army.
Dust was everywhere in the field, and after it dispersed, everyone discovered that it was a black broken knife. You can easily repel so many barbarian troops with just a knife from an unknown distance. The strength of this person is really unfathomable!
Song Kui looked around and asked warily: "Who is it?"
No one answered him. Suddenly, his scanning eyes froze, because a figure appeared next to Li Zongsheng, as if appearing out of thin air. Before that, no one noticed how he came.
The man's face was covered with a piece of black cloth, so his face couldn't be seen clearly, but judging from his appearance, he shouldn't be old, or even very young.
This seems to be a bit inconsistent with the powerful strength he showed just now. After all, under normal circumstances, those with such strength are respected seniors or hidden experts, but this young man who suddenly appeared, But it doesn't look like it.
Li Zongsheng tried his best to keep his eyes open. In his blurry vision, he finally saw the person clearly. He grinned and said, "You're here."
There are no emotional fluctuations, it seems to be natural, but if you listen carefully, you can still feel a sense of peace of mind.
His body swayed, and then he fell backwards. In fact, his body had already reached its limit. It was a miracle that he could hold on until now before falling!
The figure caught him, preventing his body from falling to the ground. The person who came was none other than Lin Yan. Ever since he received the contact from Li Zongsheng, he had started to arrange things on the other side.
Li Zongsheng just made a request, and the subsequent judgment was still made by Lin Yan. He knew Li Zongsheng's real mission, which was to destroy the barbarian army's horses. This was undoubtedly a desperate move!
It is conceivable that once this thing is really successful, the blow to the barbarian army will be extremely serious! When the Tang army besieges the city, it will be possible to take the city back from the barbarians.
Jiangling City was an important city in the southern part of the Eastern Tang Dynasty. It was extremely prosperous, and its strategic position and economic value were extremely great. The Eastern Tang Dynasty would not give up easily!
Originally, Li Zongsheng and others were just like Song Kui said, performing an impossible mission. They were all abandoned sons.
However, the appearance of Lin Yan gave Li Zongsheng a glimmer of hope that this plan might succeed.
Therefore, he shamelessly asked Lin Yan that as long as Jiangling City could be recaptured in the end, it would be able to stop the progress of the barbarians and save more people from the flames of war. He had to do it!
Lin Yan supported him and said softly: "I'm here, don't worry!"
Song Kui's expression on the side was gloomy. From an instinctive point of view, he knew that the masked man who suddenly appeared in front of him was extremely dangerous, but he couldn't just watch them leave and do nothing. He was a little confused for a while.
In the end, Song Kui gritted his teeth and said, "We can't let them go!"
In fact, he didn't need to say that these barbarians would not let Lin Yan go so easily. Most of them are not advanced enough to realize how terrifying Lin Yan is. How can they bear to say that they dare to come to save people when they see him alone?
As Song Kui's words fell, these barbarians who could no longer hold back started attacking Lin Yan with weapons in hand. They struck hard, obviously intending to kill him in the shortest possible time!
But they chose the wrong opponent. Lin Yan stretched out his hand and the broken black knife stuck on the ground trembled and then flew into his hand.
"cut!"
After Lin Yan finished speaking, he swung his sword to draw a semicircle in front of him, and then a sharp sword light spread in front of him.
The bodies of the barbarian soldiers who were charging forward suddenly stopped, and then as if they had been cut, their bodies were split in two from the middle. In an instant, there was no one standing in front of Lin Yan.
Blood flowed all over the ground and gradually gathered into a small stream. Song Kui was so shocked by the scene in front of him that he fell to the ground. His legs were weak and he struggled for a long time without being able to get up.
He didn't understand how this seemingly young man could be so ruthless. With a wave of his hand, hundreds of people were mercilessly killed by him!
Lin Yan looked back and saw that all the barbarian soldiers who were coming behind him stopped, and then quickly retreated unconsciously, for fear that if they were slow for a moment, they would follow in the footsteps of the soldiers on the ground.
However, Lin Yan did not continue to take action, but slowly put away the black broken knife in his hand. He came here to save people, not to kill people. There was no need to slaughter all these soldiers.
As he slowly turned around and helped Li Zongsheng walk away, no one dared to stop him. They were even grateful in their hearts and hoped that he could leave soon.
This idea may be a bit shameful for a soldier. It is equivalent to fearing the enemy, and in fact, they do feel fear!
However, people had to lower their heads under the low eaves. For an enemy like this that could easily kill them all, it was not a big deal to retreat appropriately.
Lin Yan took a few steps, then paused, lifted his feet back, and lightly kicked the handle of a steel knife. At the same time, a faint voice came: "What I hate most are traitors!"
As soon as the words fell, the steel knife flew out like an arrow from the string, and then pierced Song Kui's chest accurately.
Blood gurgled out from it. Song Kui looked at his chest in disbelief, and then his life flowed away quickly.
At this moment, his eyes were full of malice and unwillingness, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart: "Damn it! Damn it! Isn't that God of Death about to leave? Why did he suddenly turn around to deal with me?"
"I still have a lot of things to do. I don't want to die yet. I don't want to die!"
But it was all in vain. With the passage of life, his eyes gradually turned gray, and eventually lost all brilliance, turning into a cold corpse without any warmth!
Lin Yan's figure supporting Li Zongsheng was gradually moving away. Everyone just stared at them blankly, but no one dared to move!
Soon after, the figure left, leaving only the frightened barbarian soldiers and broken limbs everywhere. The rich smell of blood floated, turning this place into a bloody prison!
