Chapter 243 Show off your power
With a deafening "clang" sound, the spear that symbolized glory and majesty was cut off by an ordinary sword! This scene shocked everyone present, especially the terrified general. He couldn't believe that this young and seemingly weak youth had such terrifying power. This was an incredible miracle, enough to subvert everyone's cognition.
Before the general recovered from his shock, he saw Lin Kunlun's long sword piercing through the sky like lightning, heading straight for his face. He instinctively wanted to pull back his gun to block it, but he felt an overwhelming force rushing towards him, instantly knocking him out. His body drew a high parabola in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. He struggled to turn over and climb up, only to see Lin Kunlun standing in front of him, the blade of the long sword pressed against his throat, cold and sharp.
"I'll give you another chance." Lin Kunlun's voice was as cold as ice, as if it came from the Netherworld. "Surrender. Or die!" These two options echoed in his ears like death threats, making him feel unprecedented despair.
However, the general did not succumb to fear. He glared, spat out a mouthful of blood, and roared: "Bah! Don't dream! You despicable thieves! Do you think you can win? Let me tell you, Lord Ye has already laid a net here! You can't escape!" After saying that, he threw away the broken gun in his hand, quickly drew the sword beside him, and prepared to fight.
At this moment, the guards beside him quickly pulled him onto the horse. They rode their horses without hesitation and fled to the rear, leaving a mess behind. The surrounding soldiers saw that their commander had retreated, and they also turned around and fled. They fled like dogs that had lost their homes, unable to organize an effective resistance.
The rebels led by Lin Kunlun witnessed the defeat of the government troops, and their morale was boosted. They were like wolves and tigers, chasing and killing the officers and soldiers everywhere. As the saying goes, a defeat is like a mountain collapsing, and this scene is a true portrayal of this saying. Some officers and soldiers who lost their commander still resisted stubbornly, while others completely lost their fighting spirit, like a flock of sheep scattered by a tiger, running away and trampling on each other. The scattered cavalry often collided with and trampled on the infantry, causing the infantry to curse angrily. They cut the horses' legs or knocked the cavalry off their horses. The infantry became the main target of the peasant army because of their slow escape speed. Some of them simply dropped their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy. These soldiers had been oppressed by officials for a long time, with meager military pay and difficult lives. When it came to the critical moment of life and death, how could they work for these officials?
Just like that, the originally impregnable defense line collapsed in an instant. Those who had not directly participated in the battle also began to retreat. After all, no one was stupid. It was obvious that the rebels had launched a decisive attack.
"Lin Shuai! We have to break through this defense line! If we bypass the Great West Pass here, Henan County will be right in front of us!" Tie Feng ran over excitedly to report. His eyes were shining with desire for victory and vision for the future, as if victory was already in sight.
"How are Mu Feng and the others doing? Why haven't they joined us yet?" Lin Kunlun finally got away and asked Mu Feng and the others who were in charge of the rear guard about their situation. They were entangled by the Northwest County troops led by Cao Kai!
"Lin Shuai! We have to evacuate this place quickly! Mu Feng and his men will definitely catch up with us!" Tie Feng knew that the enemy troops that had blocked us earlier had not really retreated, but were only temporarily repelled. If they did not seize this opportunity, the enemy troops would soon come back.
"We must rescue Mu Feng and the others! Otherwise, they will be trapped in the siege with no way to escape! Another point, even if we break through the defense line, if there are tens of thousands of pursuers behind us, we will not be able to rest and develop in peace! By then, being besieged is only a matter of time! Therefore, before leaving here, I plan to do something big! Even if I have to make a surprise attack, I have to weaken their morale! Buy us some relatively safe time!" Lin Kunlun pondered for a moment and made a decisive decision.
Lin Kunlun's decision boosted the morale of Tie Feng and other rebel soldiers. They knew that Marshal Lin never did anything without confidence, and since he decided to stay, he must have a plan in mind and a sure win.
"Brothers, listen up!" Lin Kunlun stood on a high ground and announced to the surrounding rebels in a loud voice, "Although Cao Kai's pursuers have temporarily retreated, they will never let us go easily. We must set up an ambush here and give them a head-on blow! Let them see that we, the rebels, are by no means easy to deal with!"
His words were full of passion and ambition, which aroused the blood and fighting spirit of the rebel soldiers. They raised their weapons and shouted deafeningly to show their determination.
Under Lin Kunlun's wise command, the rebels moved quickly and orderly. They cleverly used the terrain to set up an exquisite ambush circle. Some soldiers quietly hid in the woods, while others lurked on the hillsides on both sides, under the command of Tie Feng. Lin Kunlun himself assembled all available cavalry, about a thousand people, and went to meet Mu Feng without hesitation.
Lin Kunlun led the cavalry and marched towards the rear team at lightning speed. After crossing two earthen mounds, he witnessed flags and horses of officers and soldiers all over the mountains. Zhou Kai personally waved a broadsword and launched a fierce attack on Mu Feng's position, while Mu Feng tried his best to resist and barely maintained the stability of the front line. The right wing was blocked by the jungle and the line of sight was blocked, so it was not very clear; the left wing had fallen into chaos, and many soldiers began to retreat. He immediately ordered Lin Er to lead 500 cavalry to reinforce the front and assist Mu Feng in defense, while he led 500 to 600 cavalry to the left wing. When the retreating soldiers saw their own cavalry coming to support, they immediately turned around and re-entered the battle. The soldiers who had been divided and surrounded by the enemy were still fighting tenaciously, but now they had no idea of escaping or defeating the officers and soldiers in front of them! All they could do was pull one to the bottom and pull two to earn a pair! ". When they saw their own cavalry coming, they cheered loudly, switched from defense to offense, broke through the encirclement of officers and soldiers, and regained the initiative on the battlefield.
The reason why Zhou Kai's army was able to gain an advantage on the scene was due to its overwhelming advantage in numbers. The total strength of this army was about 20,000. Facing such a large force attack, Mu Feng naturally found it difficult to resist. However, the sudden addition of these 2,000 cavalrymen dramatically changed the situation on the battlefield.
The left-wing leading general sent by Zhou Kai witnessed this scene and immediately ordered the mobilization of troops to prepare for the siege of Lin Kunlun!
Facing the tragic battlefield now, Lin Kunlun no longer had the palpitations he had when he participated in the battle for the first time! He even lost the calmness he had in the business world as a top investor. He just felt his blood boiling. It was as if he was a natural warrior. The food and water in the fresh gourd space transformed his body. His strength and body reaction speed far exceeded that of ordinary people. So he rode his horse forward, and no soldier could stop him. He snatched a spear from a soldier. The spear flew like a dragon and snake, and pierced the head of an officer. Then he jumped up, and the spear drew an arc in the air. An officer who was chasing Mu Feng was pierced through the throat by the spear, and his body fell from mid-air.
Lin Kunlun galloped wildly on horseback, waving his spear from time to time to sweep the officers and soldiers blocking him off their horses, and at the same time throwing the spear to the left wing. Every time he threw the spear, a whirlwind would be set off, blowing away some officers and soldiers who were unable to dodge, which greatly reduced Mu Feng's pressure.
This is the direction Lin Kunlun was walking. The direction where the officer was? Because he led the way, the more than 100 cavalry soldiers following him also followed him smoothly. No one expected that the fighting power of the soul man was so strong. After all, Lin Kunlun had always been wise and very smart, and looked like a civilian. But now he can fight so bravely on the battlefield. It still shocked these rebels!
