Chapter 97: The Bloody Battle of Linjin (3)

  Upon hearing Tuoba Hong's order, the heavy infantrymen turned around and rushed towards Linjin City.

  Tuoba Hong's intention was obvious, the warships on the lake he could no longer trust, wanted to let the infantry contract under Linjin City, giving the bed crossbows on the city head room to play.

  After the Falcon Squad finished a breakthrough, they had already turned their horses around. Looking at the infantry rushing over like a tide, Malan chuckled and charged forward first.

  The rest of the heavy cavalry followed closely behind her, maintaining a dense formation, and killed in the opposite direction of the infantry's retreat.

  Once again easily pierced heavy armor infantry, and took away more than 100 lives of heavy armor infantry.

  At the same time, Yun Zhīyá waved his hand and the light cavalry waiting in the distance galloped over, chasing after the heavy infantry and cutting them down from behind.

  The light cavalry of Wulin City also had the power of Tiger Fist Second Heavy, and the impact force of the light cavalry was equally not to be underestimated. After a chaotic slash and kill with their war knives, more than 1,000 heavy infantrymen fell before them.

  Of course, by this time, casualties were inevitable. Nearly a hundred light cavalrymen also paid with their lives.

  After suffering heavy casualties, the infantry of the Tuoba clan finally returned within range of the city's bed crossbows.

  The light cavalry no longer pursued and quickly retreated back to their original position.

  And in this process, the Falcon team pierced the heavy infantry phalanx twice in a row, killing and injuring more than 200 heavy infantrymen.

  Suddenly!

  "Boom!" "Boom!"

  On the warship that had been silent for a long time, two giant arrows flew towards the Falcon squad at high speed.

  However, such an attack was naturally unable to affect the Falcon Squad. The giant arrow was deeply embedded in the ground, blasting out two shallow pits, and the Falcon Squad remained unscathed.

  "Everyone, give Lin Feng the armor-piercing arrows!" Yun Zhiya shouted loudly.

  Including Chen Gang, everyone took off their quivers and handed them over to Lin Feng.

  "Four-edged piercing armor arrow......" Lin Feng sighed in his heart.

  Such arrows are still inferior in power compared to the five-edged armor-piercing arrows that I personally engraved with symbols.

  Lin Feng spurred his horse to gallop to the lakeside, with arrows nocked on the bowstring, shooting out one after another like a string of pearls.

  A moment later, another warship was shot by Lin Feng and was riddled with holes, exploding in the water, and all the warriors fell into the water.

  Such continuous shooting was also a huge consumption for Lin Feng.

  However, he originally had an extraordinary recovery ability, and with the help of Zhuque Wansi Gong, his recovery was also extremely fast.

  A large number of warships gathered on the surface of the water, and dense arrows shot at him, but it was impossible to hit him. The cooperation between Pursuing Wind and Lin Feng could be described as perfect.

  Lin Feng rode his horse back and forth along the lake shore, firing arrow after arrow with unerring accuracy!

  Another warship was dismantled by Lin Feng, and the remaining warships finally left the lake shore far away. The range of Lin Feng's Tianxing Bow was farther than that of the bed crossbow, they could not attack Lin Feng, but Lin Feng could attack them, the navy had no way to deal with Lin Feng at all!

  Lin Feng slung his longbow over his back and rode away from the lakeshore. As for those Water Army soldiers of Linjin City who had fallen into the water, he didn't bother to take action against them. The warships were already far away from the lakeshore and no longer posed a threat to the Luoyun Sect army; his goal had been achieved.

  "Wow!"

  Inside Linjin City, a small head emerged from the lake water.

  Tuoba Xue's small face was deathly pale, and she struggled to swim up to the lake shore.

  "Who is that damned archer? When did Cloud's Edge Falcon Squad get an extra member like him?"

  The Hawk Squad has been stationed in Wulin City for many years, and Yun Zhiya's name is also very loud. As for the Hawk Squad, Tuoba Xue naturally has some understanding, but he has never heard of such an archer.

  "One bow and three arrows! Shooting an arrow with another arrow! Such archery skills are simply divine!"

  A severe pain suddenly struck, causing Tuoba Xue to frown slightly. Looking at his arm again, the light armor had been torn open by the heavy arrow, revealing a section of snow-white skin, and on the arm, there was a huge wound. Due to being soaked in lake water, the wound had turned somewhat white, but fresh blood was still seeping out.

  "What a close call! If it had been slightly off, my arm would have been blown off!" Ta Bao Xue was also frightened after the fact.

  For her, she would rather give up her life than give up her arm. She had always been proud of her appearance, and if she lost an arm and became a disabled person, it would be more unbearable for her than being killed!

  But this time's injury will probably leave a not small scar. Thinking of this, Tuoba Xue was also very unhappy, and he hated the knight who shot him to death extremely.

  Quickly wrapping up the wound on his arm, Tuoba Xue followed the horse path and climbed onto the city wall.

  On the city wall, Tuoba Hong looked at the sparse and scattered heavy armored cavalry returning, his face twitching. This was his many years of hard work, but now nearly two thousand heavy armored infantry's blood, only exchanged for less than a hundred light cavalry of the opponent, while the Falcon team's guys were still unscathed!

  "Without the Red Tiger Army, is the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry really unbeatable?" Tuoba Hong sighed inwardly.

  "Grandfather!" Taobei Xue called out softly.

  "Xu?r! How are you? Is everything all right?" Taobai Hong turned his head and saw that it was Taobai Xue, and hastily asked.

  "It's just a scratch on the surface, nothing serious." Tuo Ba Xue said lightly.

  "That's good." Tuoba Hong's mind was slightly determined, and he looked down at the city with a bitter smile. "With only ten Xuanjia heavy cavalry, we are completely helpless, alas!"

  Tuoba Xue looked at the miserable scene below the city and his heart also trembled.

  On the banks of Linjin Lake, layer upon layer were the corpses of the Tuoba family's children and grandchildren. Severed limbs and mutilated bodies were everywhere, with fresh blood flowing into Linjin Lake, dyeing its waters red.

  The heavily armored infantry who retreated from outside the city looked one by one with a pale and defeated complexion, although they barely didn't disperse, but every face was written with despair.

  Behind the heavy infantry were five hundred heavy cavalry waiting in reserve. Looking at the tragic scene on the battlefield, the faces of the five hundred heavy cavalrymen also turned gloomy.

  It is clear that the troops of the Tuoba family have lost their courage to win, which is undoubtedly a terrible thing.

  Farther away, ten heavy armored cavalrymen stood there, with fresh blood on their armor. But Tuoba Xue knew that it wasn't their blood, but the blood of her own people.

  After the heavy cavalry of the Black Armor, there were over a thousand light cavalry with sharp blades. The light cavalrymen of Wulin City were spirited and heroic, completely different from the depression and listlessness of the Tuoba family's army...

  "I, Tuoba Hong, have led my clan for countless generations in Linjin City. Today, it seems that our time has come to an end!" Tuoba Hong said solemnly, "If we must die, then let us die gloriously! Let us die on this bloody battlefield!"

  Tuoba Hong stood up straight, his hair and beard dancing in the wind, and sang loudly: "Daqing River, under Yingshan Mountain, by Linjin Lake is my home..."

  When they heard this ancient ballad, all the warriors on the city wall were shocked!

  Tuoba Xue felt a shiver in her soul, gazing at the grasslands outside the city and the emerald waters by the city's edge. A wave of indescribable sorrow welled up from within, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

  "Green river herding sheep, lakeside drinking horse. Green river playing with flowers, lakeside growing up......" Tuoba Hong continued to sing.

  Tuoba Xue smiled slightly, tears streaming down her face!

  This is her home, but tomorrow it will belong to someone else!

  The fate of the Tuoba family can no longer be changed!

  Gently removing his armor, he revealed a white shirt underneath. With a slight movement of his foot, Tuoba Xue stood on the chest wall and began to dance gracefully.

  The white dress, soaked in water, clung to her slender body, clinging to her delicate figure, with the inside slightly visible, but Tuoba Xue didn't care at all. Her young face was full of desolation, standing on the city wall, dancing in the wind, like a butterfly on an autumn day.

  "Wolf smoke rises everywhere, wild grass covers the ground, Qing River withers and turns yellow, jackals and wolves are all over the place..." Tuoba Xue sang and danced, singing in a loud voice.

  Spears rise, corpses cover the ground. Faces are withered and yellow, enemies everywhere...... On the city walls, one by one, soldiers grip their weapons tightly, low and mournful songs echo over Linjin City.

  "Good bows are put away, white blades are like frost, we men, all go to the battlefield!" Tuoba Hong shouted loudly, his voice reaching the sky!

  Under the city wall, thousands of people shouted in unison, a majestic and mournful scene.

  The heavy infantrymen's eyes were stained with flames, reassembled together, lined up in a neat formation, and marched towards the Hawk Squad.

  Behind them, five hundred heavy cavalry urged their warhorses on, gripping their lances tightly as they slowly began to accelerate.

  They were all warriors of Linjin City, and they were all men of the Tuoba family.

  Since destruction is inevitable, let a bellyful of hot blood preserve this last dignity.

  Even if I die, I will die like a man with my head held high!

  "If I die, you come back. If you die, he comes back."

  "I'm dead, you come quickly. You're dead, he comes quickly."

  Tuoba Hong sang loudly, with tears streaming down his face. Tuoba Xue danced against the wind, her icy clothes spinning around her, a tragic and desperate beauty.

  The earth began to shake violently, and the thousands of troops from Linjin City marched towards the Falcon Squad in an orderly manner, with a resolute look in their eyes. At this moment, life and death were already beyond their consideration.

  A chill and murderous aura enveloped the entire Linjin Lake shore...

  Behind the Hawk Squad, the light cavalry of Wulin City was in an uproar. Many war horses were snorting restlessly, appearing very uneasy.

  Yun Zhiya gazed at the heavily armored infantry approaching slowly, his eyes calm.

  Su Yan furrowed his brow and said: "Giving up the city and not relying on the bed crossbow, fighting us to the death like this, isn't that just seeking death?"

  "They were originally here to send themselves to death, didn't you see that?"

  "Their war song is quite interesting, majestic and tragic, with an extraordinary momentum. However, our Hawk Squad isn't afraid of such intimidating tricks."

  "What's the big deal! I can do this kind of thing too." Ma Lian'er disdainfully curled her lip.

  "Really? Lian Er sister still has this skill, we didn't know." Yuan Ce laughed and said, "Lian Er sister, come on?"

  Ma Lian'er coughed and said seriously: "Listen carefully!"

  Everyone was listening intently.

  Alas, the son's face turned slightly dark, looking at the lake shore where limbs and bodies were scattered everywhere, he softly chanted: "Don't you see, by the Qinghai Lake, since ancient times white bones have been left unburied! New ghosts are resentful, old ghosts weep, the sky is overcast with rain, and the sound of mournful whispers!"

  "Really? Lian'er sister?" Yuan Ce's eyes widened.

  Chen Gang asked: "Lian Er sister, what does Qinghaitou mean? Is it a place?"

  Lin Feng was also greatly surprised by Ma Lian'er's words. He didn't quite understand this kind of literary and poetic play, but he could hear that these few sentences had a sense of sorrow and sympathy for the heavens and humans. Such words coming from the Great Killer God Ma Lian'er's mouth were truly unexpected for Lin Feng.

  Yun Zhiya glanced at the heavily armored infantry approaching slowly and sneered, "If Ma Lian'er could write poetry, then pigs could climb trees too!"

  "Lao Yun, what the hell do you mean? Do you think I'm someone to be trifled with?" Ma Lian'er shouted angrily.

  "It's not that I look down on you, but how much does your horse weigh? Who has it clear? Quickly say where this is copied from, brothers all want to know!" Yun Zhiya said lightly.

  "Heh heh! I've got it! This is what I heard from Songfeng Xuan." Ma Lian'er burst out laughing.

  "Ji Songfeng, that philistine, couldn't possibly produce something as good as this; he's only fit to write erotic poems for the whores of Laughing Tower." Yun Zhongye sneered.

  "It's indeed not written by Ji Songfeng, he said it was written by his master." Ma Lian'er smiled.

  "He must have copied from his master too. With such a disciple, what good thing can the master be?" Yun Zhiya said coldly.

  Ma Lian'er's eyes sparkled and her small eyes laughed into a line: "Old Yun, are you jealous? Hehe!"

  "Who's being sour now? Stop talking nonsense!" Yun Zhiya disdainfully curled her lip, "Alright, let's get ready for battle!"

  From start to finish, facing the swarming troops of Linjing City, several old soldiers were chatting and laughing easily, not taking the troops of Linjing City seriously at all. Infected by them, the hearts of several new soldiers also put down.

  On the city wall, Tuoba Xue danced with a mournful and beautiful expression, while Tuoba Hong sang a heroic and sorrowful song. Under the city wall, thousands of soldiers gripped their swords tightly, slowly advancing step by step.

  "Pfft!" Yuan Ce spat out the grass root he had been chewing on for half a day, sneering, "You're still singing that funeral dirge without end! This trick won't work on us men, prepare to die!"

  "Form the vanguard, prepare to charge!" Yun Zhiya commanded in a low voice.

  Everyone urged their war horses on, with Ma Lie'er as the arrowhead, forming a charging formation.

  "Kill!" Yun Zhijia shouted.

  Ten black horses galloped forward with four hooves, charging towards the armored infantry.

  "Kill!" Thousands of Tuoba soldiers shouted in unison, quickening their pace and charging towards the Falcon Squad!
