At the moment when Lin Yan rescued Li Zongsheng, something big happened in the city. Not only was most of the racecourse in the west of the city destroyed, but even the prison where the thieves were previously held was robbed.
After all, Mingya was a princess of the Southern Barbarians, so it was naturally inappropriate for her to wield a butcher's knife against one of her own people. But there's no harm in doing some damage.
As for Monk Chen, Guo Toad and others, they didn't have any scruples. The little girl Miao Miaomiao looked very excited, leaving Lin Yan speechless.
But no matter what, thanks to these people, chaos soon broke out in Jiangling City.
There have been some turmoils since the city was broken, but basically the commotion was not very big. However, the actions of Lin Yan and others directly poked a hole in the sky here.
The prison robbery was a slap in the Nanman's face, and the destruction of the racecourse was even more destructive, cutting off the lifeblood of the barbarians.
The upper echelons of the Barbarian Army were furious after receiving the news. They wanted to arrest the culprits who caused the trouble, but they couldn't even figure out who did it.
They did know that a force of the Tang Army had quietly sneaked into the city, but those people had their own spies among them and were able to control every move. Now they were probably destroyed under their own arrangements!
Taking a step back, even if those people were still alive, with their strength, they would not be able to cause a serious impact on the barbarian army.
But since someone is robbing the prison, it means that the person coming is related to these people, but the barbarian army has no idea who these people who suddenly appeared are.
They are powerful and come and go without a trace. Like ghosts, they attack the weak points of one's own side, and then fly away, making it impossible for them to pursue them.
Martial law was immediately imposed in the city, and the troops took action quickly, and then launched a careful search. Judging from the posture, they had to dig three feet into the ground to find the attacker.
At this time, Lin Yan had quietly returned to the inn with Li Zongsheng. After meeting with Miao Miaomiao and others, he gave Li Zongsheng some simple treatment.
It should be said that Li Zongsheng's injuries at this time were not serious. If some treatment was not done, even if he did not die in the hands of the barbarians, the bleeding alone could kill him.
The reaction from the barbarian army was not unpleasant. Now that the whole city was under martial law, it was not easy to escape, let alone take the rescued Tang soldiers with them.
Naturally, those people were not taken to the inn, but were temporarily placed at a temporary location mentioned by Li Zongsheng. However, with the current search style of the barbarian army, it is only a matter of time before those people are discovered, and in their current state, it is undoubtedly a fantasy to escape!
Because Lin Yan destroyed the horse farm in the west of the city alone, the Tang soldiers sent there did not die, and they were used to take care of the rescued Tang soldiers.
After Miao Miaomiao and others met Lin Yan, they were thinking of ways to solve the current dilemma.
The action at that time was not considered a hot-headed move, but after all, time was tight and it was impossible to plan everything from the beginning.
Unexpectedly, after such a big commotion was made, the barbarian army began to really pay attention to it, and it would not be easy to fool them next.
Monk Chen said: "Now that the young master has destroyed the barbarians' horse farm in Jiangling City, their combat power has been greatly reduced. Has no one noticed such a good opportunity?"
He was naturally referring to the army on the Eastern Tang side. In fact, it was impossible for the surrounding areas to be unaware of such a big movement.
Sending Li Zongsheng and the others to carry out this mission must have a follow-up plan. If the mission is successful, the Tang Army should take the opportunity to attack or something to further expand the results. This is only right!
But now the surrounding area is quiet, what's going on?
Li Zongsheng smiled bitterly and opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to answer. He was naturally aware of this, and now it seemed that Dongtang probably regarded them as abandoned children, and did not even make any preparations for the future.
This can only show one thing, that is, Dongtang's senior management never thought that they could succeed. That's right, this was originally an impossible task, they knew it early on.
If you don't believe it, why send this mission? Why do so many brothers come here to die, and there is a high probability that they will die meaninglessly!
At this time, Li Zongsheng was filled with resentment. He felt the anger in his heart welling up, but he had nowhere to vent it. He wanted to fly away his Heavenly Spirit Cap. He was filled with anger and grievance that was beyond words.
Lin Yan saw his current state, walked over and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "There will be a way!"
It's not that Lin Yan can't understand this kind of thing. Because when you leave, no matter how hard you try, your superiors will always do some extremely disgusting things for their own selfish desires.
For this kind of thing, Lin Yan's approach was simple and crude, and that was to kill him directly. But if you want to do this, you must first leave the city smoothly.
Now the mission is completed, but everyone is trapped in the dragon's den and the tiger's den. It is impossible to resist the barbarian army with just these people!
Even a master in the Xiantian realm would be consumed to death if he faced a large army head-on.
Of course, with the ability of a Xiantian realm warrior, if he wanted to escape, the army alone would not be able to stop him. However, besides Lin Yan, there were others, and more importantly, there were a group of wounded people, which forced him to think of something else. Method.
While thinking, Lin Yan suddenly thought of a question and said, "I remember that His Majesty the Tang Emperor was a wise and mighty monarch before. How could he make the Tang army become so chaotic?"
He had been away from Tang for a long time, so he didn't know much about these things and had many doubts in his heart.
Li Zongsheng thought for a while and said: "Because His Majesty the Tang Emperor has not appeared to handle government affairs for a long time. All orders are issued through his personal attendants."
"Some news said that the Emperor of Tang was seriously ill, some said that he was addicted to women and had no thoughts on politics, and some said..." Li Zongsheng looked up at Lin Yan and said, "His Majesty the Emperor of Tang is dead!"
Lin Yan was shocked when he heard this. He probably didn't believe this messy news. However, it is no exaggeration to say that the current situation in the Eastern Tang Dynasty is full of chaos. All kinds of stupid tricks are happening frequently, and the enemy has been able to attack all the way to the hinterland. It is really speechless.
He thought about it, and if Emperor Tang was not dead yet, he would be more inclined to think that Emperor Tang was controlled by others and was unable to control the court and make correct commands.
However, these things can only be verified later. The top priority is to solve the immediate matter first.
Lin Yan thought for a while, and now he still wanted to send the news here. Since Li Zongsheng's superiors were no longer reliable, the news was sent directly to a higher level, even to Chang'an.
They are not without foundation in Chang'an. Even though Li Kaizhi is different now, he still has some connections that can be used, and it is not difficult to pass on some news.
It's just that water from afar can't quench the thirst nearby. It takes a lot of time to get from Jiangling to Chang'an, and the fighter plane is fleeting. When Chang'an reacts, it is estimated that new war horses will be added. If they attack at that time, it may be better. Will be defeated by the barbarian army.
For today's plan, continuing to hide is not a good idea, and it is only a matter of time before he is found.
In Lin Yan's view, only by taking the initiative can we take the initiative and grasp the next direction.
Therefore, he planned to use his body as bait to attract the attention of the Southern Barbarians, and then let Mingya and the others seize the opportunity to send Li Zongsheng and others out of the city, while also passing on the news.
The nearby Tang army was not limited to Li Zongsheng's. As long as other Tang armies could seize the opportunity, they could inflict heavy losses on the barbarian army.
As long as the barbarian army in Jiangling City is cut off from the outside world as soon as possible, then they can wait for work and plan for it slowly.
The barbarian army, which has lost most of its horses, has reduced combat effectiveness and cannot get supplies. As long as it continues for a period of time, it will inevitably collapse. By then, it will become much easier to regain Jiangling City.
It was a good idea, but in this way, Lin Yan had to bear the pressure from the barbarians in Jiangling City head-on. Manpower is sometimes scarce. Even if he sets foot in the innate realm now, the danger he will bear is great!
Moreover, even if Ming Ya and others can successfully send Li Zongsheng and others out of the city, things may not go so smoothly after that.
However, there is no better way now. In this case, all planning and calculation are of little significance, because the situation forces you to respond head-on.
Lin Yan didn't have a dawdling character, and time was urgent now. The barbarian army might search this place in the next moment, leaving them little time.
After roughly explaining his future plans and meeting place, Lin Yan walked out of the inn and headed somewhere.
As the saying goes, "Capture the thief first, capture the king." If you want to plunge the enemy into real chaos in a short period of time, the best way is to directly target his commander. And it just so happens that Lin Yan now has this kind of strength.
His figure flashed quickly, and soon he came to where the top brass of the barbarian army was. Today's Jiangling City is already in the hands of the barbarian army, so they usually don't bother to hide the whereabouts of high-level officials, because no one has the courage and ability to take action here.
But there are always exceptions in the world, and today, Lin Yan is here!
He did not choose a sneak attack, but took an upright route, directly facing the barbarian army's high-level attack from the front.
What an arrogant act it was for him to do it alone! However, as Lin Yan walked all the way inside, there were dense figures lying on the ground, but no one could stop them.
The soldiers who can guard the high-level barbarian army are naturally good soldiers, but the gap in strength is too large. Even if they try their best, they can't stop Lin Yan from taking a step forward.
Soon, Lin Yan rushed into the center of the high-level barbarian army with one man and one sword, and the number of experts gathered here also reached an astonishing number.
Those people surrounded Lin Yan, but he was not afraid and just looked at these people with cold eyes.
In the middle of the opposite side stood a young man in his twenties, with a handsome face and heroic appearance. He looked like a talker on the side of the barbarian army.
He looked at Lin Yan with interest and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is very brave, but today, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of here!"
