He Song would never have thought that Lin Muyu could bypass the army at the rear with the mobility of the Iron Cavalry and go straight to the main force of the Wolf Soldiers. In the dark night, it was pitch-black everywhere in the forest. Only the faint roar of the dragon came from the air, which made people shudder. Everyone knew that there were no dragon riders among the 200,000 Wolf Soldiers. Once they heard the roar of the dragon, it could only mean that the Longdan Army Camp had come.
At the rear of the main force of the Wolf Army was a group of ten thousand light cavalry. Originally, the speed of the light cavalry should have been very fast, but the grass had been cut off two days ago, and the fertile land was covered in snow. In fact, the Wolf Army had not eaten for two days, so how could they have the strength to run?
From the rear, there was a continuous dense and heavy sound of hooves. From the sound of the hooves stepping on the snow, it could be judged that they were all heavy cavalry. Otherwise, the sound would not be so heavy.
Captaincy, who was in charge of the rear, was livid. He raised the spear in his hand and said, "Prepare for battle. They are coming!"
As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly there was a blue light in the dark night sky. It was the Magic Crystal Crossbow!
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …"
The Magic Crystal Crossbow quickly fell into the group of Wolf Soldiers and exploded in the blink of an eye, like beautiful blue flowers blooming. The amazing destructive power engulfed the bodies of the Wolf Soldiers and the horses, illuminated the sky, and set the surrounding trees on fire, providing excellent illumination for the army of the Qin Empire. The enemy was in the light while they were in the dark. This was the best fighting environment.
"Clang!"
The golden light was very dazzling in the night sky. It was Lin Muyu's Xuanyuan Sword. Without saying a word, he spurred his horse and charged straight over. Situ Sen, Si Kongyao, and the others also spurred their horses and galloped over. Groups of iron cavalries quickly killed the light cavalries of the Wolf Soldiers. In close combat, the light cavalries were no match for them at all. They could only be killed. The army swept over like a whirlwind, killing 10,000 light cavalries. Moreover, Lin Muyu did not need a second cavalry attack at all. He pointed his sword forward and led the Longdan Army Camp to continue to chase and kill. As for the remaining enemies in the rear, he left it to Liu Buyi to deal with.
Lin Muyu's strategy was to bite the tail of the wolf soldiers so that they wouldn't dare to turn back and couldn't turn back.
This was Lin Muyu's strategy, and it was as if his lifeline had been grabbed. He was already terrified, and his thoughts were all seen through by his opponent. He Song knew that he would definitely die if he turned back and fought, but if he kept running forward, he might have a way out.
It was also because of this that Lin Muyu led 100,000 iron cavalries to gallop forward at a very small cost, as if he was a whale devouring the entire Red Rock Province.
…
At daybreak, the mountains and plains for hundreds of miles were covered with the corpses of the Wolf Soldiers, but the chase did not stop.
He Song, who was exhausted from running for his life, was completely terrified.
He knew that Lin Muyu would definitely not let him go. Although He Song used to be the Valley Master of the Wolf Valley and had astonishing strength, he was now only at the Holy King realm, while Lin Muyu was at the Holy Heaven realm. If he encountered Lin Muyu, he would die in three moves. Lin Muyu could not tolerate him.
Amidst the hurried galloping of horses, He Song looked up at the sky and started cursing, "Damned heavens, you gave Filet, Jin Chong, and Longxi demon bodies, but why are you so harsh on me? Is it not enough that I sacrificed 100,000 lives in Red Rock City to sacrifice my wolf soul? If I, He Song, am not fit to be a demon, then what right do Filet and Jin Chong have?! "
However, heaven's will could not be defied.
A Captaincy, whose sword was stained with blood, rushed over and said in a low voice, "Commander, we can't run anymore! If we keep retreating, we will lose without even fighting … "
"What do you mean?" He Song said coldly, "Do you think we have a chance of defeating Lin Muyu if we turn around and fight now?"
"But at least we will die for the Empire. We won't die so pitifully. Commander, this lowly general requests a battle!"
"Pah!" He Song sneered, "Who are you going to die for? Whose Empire is this? Are you going to die for Yangshang? Do you think Yangshang cares about an ant like you? "
"This lowly general … I …" Captaincy was speechless.
"Goddamn Lin Muyu …" He Song raised his head and looked into the distance. "Despicable scum, lowly scum, using petty tricks to drag down my two hundred thousand wolf soldiers. Despicable and shameless!"
Captaincy said, "Commander, are we really not going to fight?"
"Fight!"
He Song said indifferently, "I will lead the central army and continue to retreat. Pass the order to the left and right armies with 15,000 soldiers each. 30,000 Wolf Soldiers will intercept Lin Muyu at the canyon behind and kill them!"
"Yes!"
…
At noon, 30,000 exhausted Wolf Soldiers gathered in the valley. They dismounted from their horses and chewed on tasteless dry rations. They drank water from melted snow. Their faces were filled with fatigue. After running continuously for a night, the warhorses could no longer run. Many of the thoroughbred warhorses were even exhausted to death. Even if there was a battle, it was estimated that the cavalry would not be able to be used.
"Forget it, let them go … these warhorses can't fight anymore …" Captaincy murmured, "Pass the order down, everyone fight on foot and prepare to meet Lin Muyu's army. They will be here soon."
"Yes!"
Everyone put away their rations, pulled out their swords and spears, and formed a square formation to wait for their pursuers.
At the entrance of the valley, the sound of horses' hooves rumbled. The first thing that appeared in everyone's sight was the Great Qin Imperial Flag with purple patterns and a dark blue background, followed by the Longdan Army Camp's flag embroidered with a dragon pattern. Warhorses snorted and heavily armored cavalry appeared in the valley. Lin Muyu's cavalry was also very tired. The warhorses dragged the heavy soldiers for a hundred li, even a thousand-li horse could not bear it.
At the front of the army, Lin Muyu was wearing a white Imperial Forest Armor. She dismounted and led the Treading Snow warhorse into the valley step by step. The soldiers behind her also dismounted.
Wei Chou asked, "Sir, are we going to fight with them as infantry?"
"No, pass the order for the entire army to dismount and let the warhorses rest for the time it takes for a joss stick to burn. Then, we will mount and charge. We must finish off the tens of thousands of enemies in the valley within two hours."
"Yes!"
Lin Muyu had never been a pragmatic person. He only knew that the cavalry had a natural advantage over the infantry. He would never let his soldiers give up their advantage to face the enemy. That would be the performance of a stupid commander.
On the contrary, the wolf soldiers in the valley were all stunned. They did not know what the Longdan Army Camp was planning. They only knew that their troops were increasing and covering the mountains and plains. It was impossible to escape.
The time it took for a joss stick to burn passed very quickly. Lin Muyu turned over and mounted the horse. He held the Xuanyuan Sword and said, "Get on the horse and prepare to charge!"
The distance between the two sides was 500 meters, which was enough for the warhorses to accelerate to the speed of the charge. Once the warhorses charged the cavalry, the heavy cavalry was simply a nightmare for the infantry. Moreover, the enemy was a group of wolf soldiers who only had swords and spears. Wolf soldiers had always been known for their cruelty and speed, but in the face of the absolute defense of the heavy cavalry, their sharp claws and speed became extremely weak.
As He Song had said, no matter how good He Song was at using troops, perhaps the 100,000 wolf soldiers would be a nightmare for the Longdan Army Camp. Unfortunately, He Song was not good at using troops. Instead, he was easily defeated by Lin Muyu at Phoenix Pass with a little trick.
"Kill!"
Situ Sen raised his sword and rushed out with Lin Muyu.
The rumbling of horse hooves shook the valley, and a blue ocean quickly drowned out the Wolf Army's phalanx that was growing smaller and smaller. The charge of the warhorses and the swift assassination of the cavalry had completely become the Wolf Army's nightmare. The thirty thousand infantry did not seem to be fighting, but more like they were using their lives to cover He Song's escape.
No more, no less. After a full two hours, the wolf soldiers in the valley had all turned into corpses. The mountains were covered with corpses, and the smell of blood filled the air.
"Continue to attack!"
Lin Muyu turned over and mounted the horse. He said, "Take off your armor and reduce the weight of the warhorses. Throw away the spears and only keep the swords to kill the enemy. Now!"
Everyone took off their armor. Desperate times call for desperate measures. In order to chase after He Song, this great enemy, Lin Muyu was also unscrupulous.
… …
The next evening, after killing countless wolf soldiers along the way, they were already less than a hundred miles away from Red Rock City. They could even faintly see He Song's commander's flag!
"Stop and rest for ten minutes. After that, we will kill He Song in one go."
Lin Muyu dismounted and found that the Treading Snow Warhorse was already foaming at the mouth. The energy of a mount had been exhausted to the limit. If even Treading Snow was in such a state, there was no need to mention the other warhorses. More than half of the warhorses in the Longdan Army Camp were already lying on the ground from exhaustion. Thus, less than ten thousand people had followed Lin Muyu all the way here, and all of them were riding on high-quality warhorses.
While the warhorses were resting, the group ate some dried meat and continued the chase.
Along the way, there were wolf soldiers who could not run, and they were all killed.
When they arrived at Red Rock City, they found that He Song had already led a small group of people into the city.
"Damn it, what a pity!" Fengxi sighed.
"Red Rock City's defenses must be weak. Set up camp outside and try to break into the city tomorrow." Lin Muyu said.
"Yes!"
"Wait a minute …" Si Kongyao suddenly squinted her eyes and looked at the city, "Brother Yu, what do you think that is? There seems to be someone waving a torch on the city wall? "
"I'll go take a look."
Lin Muyu rode straight to the city wall and saw a man wearing the armor of a general of the Shang army laughing, "This general, Song Liangcheng, has been waiting for Lin General for a long time. I believe that Lin General is here for this treasure. This general will give it to you!"
"Shua!"
A black object was thrown down from the city wall and rolled on the snowy ground. With the help of the Xuanyuan Sword's light, Lin Muyu was shocked. It was He Song's head!
"You killed He Song!?" He asked in shock.
"Yes."
Song Liangcheng smiled, "He Song is a defeated general. Almost all the wolf soldiers were killed. When he is brought to Emperor Shang, he will be sentenced to death. On the other hand, Lin General … you have traveled a long way to Red Rock City. This general has prepared a gift for Lin General."
"Gift?!"
"Yes!"
Song Liangcheng laughed, "Beat the drums!"
On the city wall, the drums were beating loudly. Countless archers appeared by the city wall and fired a volley of arrows at Lin Muyu. At the same time, torches appeared in the forest far away. In the blink of an eye, they connected to each other!
"Oh no …"
Lin Muyu felt a sharp pain in his heart. The hunter had become someone else's prey!
"Yao, pass the order to retreat. The faster the better!"
He hurriedly turned around and ordered.
Si Kongyao's face was filled with panic. At this time, the Longdan Army Camp was already exhausted. How could they be a match for Song Liangcheng's elite troops? However, what Si Kongyao could not understand was why Song Liangcheng would appear in Red Rock City when he was guarding the border between Red Rock Province and the Celestial Empire.
There was only one answer. Chen Yu was two thousand miles away from the Longdan Army Camp.
How powerful was this person!
