239: confrontation

“Lin Yue!” Bru instantly recognized him!

“Bru, your grandpa is here!” Lin Yue shouted.

Lu Duoha’s fifty thousand cavalry was currently engulfed in Bru’s Army, in a precarious situation. He could only do this, make Bru’s spearhead aim at himself, to leave Lu Duoha a chance to breathe!

As expected, the moment Bru saw Lin Yue, his killing intent flared, and he roared with bloodshot eyes, “Kill Lin Yue! Kill Lin Yue! Everyone, go kill Lin Yue!”

“Yes!” The Xiongnu Soldiers were also shaken when they heard the name “Lin Yue,” and they all shifted their targets. After all, killing Lin Yue would earn them the title of Left Grand Commandant and ten thousand gold.

This was far more valuable than killing a timid Lu Duoha; every Xiongnu Cavalry knew how to choose!

“Kill!” The entire Xiongnu Army turned around and charged towards Lin Yue!

“Xing Daorong, Liu Sandao, General Yang Ye, your target is Bru, don’t mind anyone else!” Lin Yue shouted!

“Understood!” The three responded, their eyes gleaming with cold light!

Then, two cavalry forces from different camps gradually met.

“Shoot!”

Both sides fired simultaneously!

Lin Yue swung his Miao Blade, blocking two arrows, but countless arrows still struck the White Horse Righteous Cavalry behind him. In front of him, countless Xiongnu Cavalry fell to the ground, struck by arrows.

This was just an appetizer before the main course!

After a volley of arrows, both armies suffered casualties but still chose to charge forward!

“Kill!” Lin Yue was the first to charge into the enemy formation!

As the two armies met, Lin Yue was at the very front, and five long spears thrust at him!

He leaned back, the tips of the long spears grazing his face, the cold glint reflecting in his eyes. Lin Yue instantly dodged!

Immediately after, he held his Miao Blade horizontally, and using the speed and impact of his warhorse, he slashed fiercely to his right, cutting two Xiongnu Soldiers in half at the waist!

Lin Yue didn't stop for a moment. His body twisted to his left-rear at an incredible angle, his Miao Blade following with a tearing whoosh. A Xiongnu Soldier’s head flew forward!

As the armies collided, this moment was the most perilous. Countless people fell in this single exchange of blows!

One move decided victory, one move decided life or death!

For this one move, the Soldiers of both sides underwent countless training sessions and countless swings, just to be able to draw their blades faster in this instant!

Everyone else used all their might to ensure their survival in the ensuing clash of blades and swords. The smell of blood filled this battlefield.

Lin Yue’s Heaven-tier Miao Blade danced like a phantom! Any Xiongnu Cavalry who appeared within his attack range invariably became a soul under his blade!

This scene stimulated all the Xiongnu Cavalry, and then more and more Xiongnu Cavalry surged towards Lin Yue. Lin Yue, by himself, attracted countless Soldiers!

“My Lord!” Xing Daorong, seeing Lin Yue in danger, couldn't help but shout anxiously and charged forward on his horse!

Lin Yue sternly shouted, “Don’t mind me! I have Zi Long protecting my safety. Your target is Bru!

Whoever kills Bru will be awarded the highest merit!”

As he finished speaking, a long spear came straight for his face!

Lin Yue instinctively dodged, and Zhao Yun, by his side, thrust his spear, impaling the Soldier opposite him and knocking him off his horse!

The two exchanged glances, and Lin Yue continued to charge forward, his Miao Blade powerfully slashing diagonally, severing the blocking long spear. The Xiongnu Soldier stared blankly at his chest, where a deep gash penetrated his entire torso.

The next moment, Lin Yue’s Miao Blade plunged into his chest. Lin Yue held the blade with both hands and pushed forcefully forward, sending the Xiongnu Soldier flying backward!

Zhao Yun’s long spear slashed left and thrust right, as if in an uninhabited land, greatly relieving the pressure on Lin Yue!

Xing Daorong and the others had already departed. Lin Yue, facing more and more Xiongnu Soldiers, was full of fighting spirit!

“Come!” Lin Yue shouted, holding his Miao Blade with both hands, and continued to charge forward!

Meanwhile, Xing Daorong, Liu Sandao, and General Yang Ye were charging towards Bru!

Bru waved his hand, and the cavalry behind him surged towards them like hungry tigers pouncing on prey!

Although the several of them were all First-Rate and Second-Rate Military Generals, facing tens of thousands of cavalry, they were temporarily unable to break through to Bru’s front!

“Whoosh!”

A powerful whooshing sound of breaking wind came, accompanied by the whistle of death!

“Bang!”

Bru drew his curved blade to block. The iron javelin, upon impact, changed its trajectory and plunged into the body of a Xiongnu Military General behind him!

The immense impact carried that Military General flying backward, crashing into others!

Two Xiongnu Military Generals, dead!

Bru’s tiger mouth was slightly numb. He hadn't expected the incoming projectile to be a javelin made of refined iron. However, this person was far from him, and after failing to strike, he retreated into the cavalry of the Lu Duo Ha Tribe, showing no desire to prolong the fight!

Bru’s gaze once again fell upon Lin Yue. He now desperately wished he could charge forward and cut off Lin Yue’s head to vent his hatred!

But he understood that the Military General beside Lin Yue, who had captured his father, possessed unfathomable strength!

Therefore, he absolutely could not charge forward rashly; that would fall right into Lin Yue’s trap!

“You four, go kill Lin Yue,” Bru said in a deep voice.

“Yes!

We will surely cut off Lin Yue’s head and present it to the King!” The four exchanged glances, their eyes burning with fierce flames!

If it weren't for protecting Bru, they would have charged forward long ago!

A reward of ten thousand taels of gold, and the title of Left Grand Commandant!

Taking one of the two would lead to a meteoric rise. Taking both would make them prominent figures in the Ordos Loop.

Which Xiongnu Military General could resist such a temptation!

Bru watched as the four charged forward on their horses, and once again fixed his gaze on Lin Yue!

Lin Yue was in the midst of the crowd, slashing left and right. His Miao Blade was much longer than the Xiongnu Soldiers’ curved blades, only a bit shorter than a long spear!

This also allowed Lin Yue to move leisurely amidst the encirclement of the Xiongnu Cavalry; ordinary Soldiers simply couldn't touch them!

But Lin Yue didn't think that way. He felt that he was already heavily besieged at this moment, and fortunately, with Zhao Yun, he hadn't been injured. But he knew that if this continued, he wouldn't last much longer.

The strength of a High-level Military General was not enough to allow him to walk unhindered through an Army!

Just then, a cold arrow silently struck.

Lin Yue dodged sideways, following the direction of the cold arrow, and saw four Xiongnu Military Generals attacking him!

Lin Yue urged his warhorse, but Zhao Yun charged towards them one step ahead!

Seeing this, the four split into two teams: one team engaged Zhao Yun, and the other continued to charge towards Lin Yue!

Lin Yue also gripped his Miao Blade and charged forward.

“Bang!”

Two Xiongnu Military Generals attacked from left and right with a blade and a spear. Lin Yue bent down to dodge the horizontal slash of the blade-wielding Military General, and the long spear from his right was already striking!

Lin Yue held his blade to block it tightly. In just a short breath, neither could overcome the other. But just as the three men and three horses were about to pass each other, Lin Yue withdrew his blade and suddenly thrust it backward to his left!

The blade-wielding Military General grunted. The slender hilt of the Heaven-tier Miao Blade heavily struck his back, just an inch from his neck!

If he hadn't instinctively dodged, he would have been dead by now!

But even through his armor, he sustained serious internal injuries.

“We can’t defeat him in a one-on-one fight for a while, but as long as we combine our strength and coordinate our attacks, taking his head will be as easy as picking something from a bag!” the Spear-wielding General said with a frown.

“What about the reward?” the blade-wwielding Military General asked with a cough.

“The gold goes to me, and the Left Grand Commandant goes to you!

We need to be fast, lest delays cause complications.” The Spear-wielding General said in a deep voice.

Both were High-level Military Generals, and logically, neither was inferior to Lin Yue. But for some reason, upon seeing Lin Yue and the White Horse Righteous Cavalry, their morale weakened a bit. Could it be the fame of the man and the shadow of the tree?

“Good.” The blade-wielding Military General wiped his mouth, his hand stained with a touch of crimson.

He didn't think much else; all he had to do was cut off Lin Yue’s head!

“Kill!”

Switching sides to fight again,

The three once again charged towards each other.

Lin Yue held his Miao Blade with one hand, gripping the reins tightly with the other, and charged towards them expressionlessly.

“Bang!”

Just as the three were about to make contact, Big Yellow neighed, its front hooves rearing, its body standing upright, performing an “emergency brake.” Lin Yue pulled the reins with one hand, his legs tightly clamping the horse’s belly, half-floating in the air.

The two Xiongnu Military Generals were startled, wondering what kind of move this was, and then they thrust their spears at Big Yellow.

The next moment, Big Yellow’s front hooves fiercely kicked the heads of the two warhorses. The two Xiongnu Military Generals were greatly alarmed.

“Boom!”

The two warhorses fell in response, their bodies recoiling two meters, lying on the ground, twitching. The two Xiongnu Military Generals also let go of their reins at the last moment and rolled away.

Lin Yue charged forward again with his blade. He wouldn't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
