132: Two battlefields
“Go over there!” Lin Yue said to Zhao Yun.
He saw the main Xiongnu people Army opposite them intending to bypass them and directly pursue the White Horse Righteous Cavalry, which made him realize he had to hold them back with all his might, or his efforts would be in vain!
“Understood!”
The two bypassed Hasen and headed straight for Modu’s Army!
“Chase them!” Hasen said!
Lin Yue had Modu’s Army in front of him and Hasen’s pursuing Army behind him!
In terms of warfare, this was being attacked from both front and back, a major taboo in military strategy!
But for them, one First-rate Military General and one Second-Rate Military General, this was no problem.
“Kill him,” Modu said.
Hearing the command, four Generals charged out from around Modu, heading straight for Lin Yue and Zhao Yun!
Lin Yue watched the four charging towards him, exchanged a glance with Zhao Yun, and decided on two each!
Lin Yue stared intently at the two, using the Art of Recognizing People to investigate them, and found that both were High-level Military Generals. For him, after using the Bloodrage Talisman, their strength was no different from offering their heads!
Lin Yue saw the two within arm’s reach; one had a spear and the other a blade. The long spear came straight for his forehead!
He seized the opportunity, his body suddenly ducking down, easily dodging the spear. At the same time, he held his Miao Blade in his right hand, and as he brushed past the enemy General, he stabbed the blade into the enemy General’s abdomen!
The horse continued, but the man remained. The enemy General was pierced by Lin Yue’s long blade, his lifeless body suspended in mid-air.
Lin Yue retracted his blade in an instant, his body landing on the ground. Then, he gripped his Miao Blade with both hands and swung it forcefully to the left. At the same time, another Xiongnu General also swung his blade at him.
“Clang!”
The two blades clashed, emitting a ringing sound, but it lasted only a brief moment.
The Miao Blade cleanly sliced through the Xiongnu people’s long blade, fiercely cutting the Xiongnu people down from his horse!
The Xiongnu General fell to the ground, a diagonal red gash across his chest, blood slowly oozing out and staining the grass. Half a blade, after flying through the air, steadily plunged into the blood-red soil, finally standing beside the Xiongnu General.
A heaven-rank divine weapon cuts iron like mud; ordinary weapons, in front of it, have only the fate of being broken in two!
Lin Yue turned to look at Zhao Yun, and saw that Zhao Yun was charging forward on his horse. The two Military Generals were instantly dealt with by Zhao Yun!
Seeing this, Lin Yue urged Da Huang to accelerate forward, gradually catching up to Zhao Yun!
Modu was just ahead, also charging forward on his horse!
However, the opposing cavalry split into two groups, outflanking and charging forward on both sides!
“Kill!” Lin Yue was the first to attack!
A Miao Blade slashed towards Modu, who held an iron spear and charged forward alone!
“Break!” Modu said softly!
His long spear thrust forward. Although he was still ten meters away from Lin Yue, a mysterious energy appeared right in front of Lin Yue!
Lin Yue felt an inexplicable sense of danger, his hair standing on end, and he used all his strength to slash forward!
“Bang!”
Lin Yue’s blade seemed to strike against surging waves. The immense impact caused the veins in his arm to bulge!
Then, a whirlwind rose from the ground, but it dissipated in a blink of an eye, and dust spread everywhere!
Lin Yue stood steadily on his horse, but he felt completely drained of strength.
It was that hollowed-out feeling again!
A sense of exhaustion spread throughout his body, like the feeling of entering a sage mode after enduring several hours of a fierce storm… No, it was a feeling of utter exhaustion!
He hadn’t expected Modu’s single strike to possess such immense power!
But there was no time for him to think further; a dark spearhead thrust towards him from within the dust!
Lin Yue tried hard to raise his long blade, but it was far too slow compared to the spear’s speed!
“Thud!”
At this critical moment, Zhao Yun arrived from behind. A Dragon-Gall Silver Spear clashed with Modu’s dark long spear. Then, Zhao Yun flicked his spear tip, saving Lin Yue.
“State your name, warrior!” Modu said softly!
“I am Zhao Zilong of Changshan!” Zhao Yun, as if a divine warrior descended from heaven, stood holding his spear.
“My name is Modu, and you are worthy of being my opponent!” Modu laughed, then raised his spear and fought again!
The two spurred their horses and resumed their battle, while Lin Yue quietly retreated to the side, leaving enough space for them!
Lin Yue looked back and saw that he wasn't the only one watching the two fight; there were also Hasen’s ten thousand iron cavalry.
The other cavalry had already scattered to pursue the White Horse Righteous Cavalry, and he was currently too weak to give chase!
Lin Yue and Hasen’s gazes met.
“Kill!” Hasen shouted first!
Lin Yue sighed and once again raised his Miao Blade, charging into the enemy formation alone, breaking through with irresistible force!
Lin Yue slashed left and right, like a fierce tiger charging into a pack of wolves.
“All troops hold steady! Anyone who retreats a single step will be executed!” Hasen roared, reprimanding the constantly retreating Xiongnu Cavalry.
This temporarily stabilized the Army’s morale.
“All troops charge! Even a Legendary General will be crushed into meat paste beneath your iron hooves!” Hasen shouted.
Ten thousand cavalry were enough to pile up and kill a Second-Rate Military General! The premise was that everyone charged forward fearlessly, with no cowards secretly retreating!
Moreover, his ten thousand cavalry were the elite of his tribe!
Lin Yue, taking advantage of the pause while Hasen was shouting, stuffed several pills into his mouth—Rejuvenation Pills, Qi-Restoring Pills; he shoved any restorative pills he had into his mouth!
Anyway, the middle-aged Daoist had given him plenty of pills back then, so when else would he use them if not now!
If he were to perish here, all those pills would become meaningless!
After taking the pills, Lin Yue immediately felt a surge of energy nourishing his body. His strength was slowly recovering, filling him with vitality!
One man against ten thousand!
The opposing cavalry had already charged at him. Lin Yue directly crashed into the enemy formation, and upon first contact, more than a dozen heads flew, staining the sky with blood!
Lin Yue charged alone. Fortunately, his long blade was a heaven-rank divine weapon; otherwise, it would have been dulled long ago.
A heaven-rank divine weapon was already an unparalleled sharp tool, and combined with Lin Yue’s current unmatched strength, any weapon that came into contact with it was destined to shatter!
Hasen watched Modu clashing with the General named Zhao Zilong; both were First-rate Military Generals of equal strength.
In front, two long spears constantly intertwined, one’s spear like a swimming dragon, the other’s like a fierce tiger.
Spear shadows crisscrossed, and anyone who approached even slightly met their demise.
On the other side, the unnamed General, fighting against his ten thousand cavalry, was an absolute bloodbath.
Yes, it was a slaughter. He merely swung and slashed; his moves were not complex, but there were no wasted movements, simple and efficient. With every swing, a tribesman met their end beneath his blade!
This cannot continue, Hasen thought.
He raised his long spear and silently merged into the charging tribesmen!
With his strength as a Third-rate Military General, he should be able to defeat the enemy with one strike!
Lin Yue, meanwhile, continued to hack and slash. He finally understood why She Jian had once told him the method for fighting Ranked Military Generals, why they used human wave tactics to overwhelm them.
Because as long as one is human, they will tire. He could feel the speed of his blade swings gradually slowing, and his reactions becoming increasingly sluggish!
He could no longer remember how many people he had killed; perhaps three hundred? Or five hundred?
He was now like a simple killing machine, but he was gradually aging, in desperate need of restorative pills, but the enemy gave him no opportunity for maintenance!
Under these circumstances, how much longer could he last?
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves thundered behind Hasen!
He looked back and saw that the Army Modu had previously sent out had all retreated.
Had Wuluoli been killed?
Hasen wondered.
But his current target was this Great Qin Military General. He was less than ten meters from his target. He gripped his long spear, watching Lin Yue with cold malice like a venomous snake, preparing for a fatal strike!
