Chapter 83: The Fierce Cavalry
In fact, what Jin Yao was more confused about was how such a thousand-man army appeared in Yanmen Pass, how did they bypass Yanmen Pass, or was Yanmen Pass already surrounded?
Without time to think too much , Jin Yao continued to walk silently in the darkness, blowing air into the house with the bamboo tube in his hand, and then killing people in the smoke.
"It's time to go!" After killing thirty people, Jin Yao quietly left the town again. It was not that he didn't want to continue killing, but too much is as bad as too little. If he continued, he would be easily discovered.
Sure enough, not long after Jin Yao left the town, the sound of gongs and drums rang out throughout the town, countless lights lit up, and people gathered together, roaring.
"See if you have the courage to stay here any longer!" Jin Yao lit the signal fireworks in his hand.
"Clee~" a sharp sound was heard, and brilliant fireworks exploded in the air.
All the Hun soldiers looked up at the night sky.
"Oh no, we've been discovered!" The captain among the soldiers was trembling in his heart. They were not passing by, but sneaking in secretly with the purpose of encircling and killing the army at Yanmen Pass.
This time they were going to play a big one, because of the news from the hidden player, the general at Yanmen Pass who had been evacuating the city and clearing the countryside as soon as they arrived had been dismissed and transferred away.
Therefore, according to their analysis, the new general would not refuse to resist and defend the city, but would take the initiative to go to war with them.
Therefore, this time, the four major tribes of the Xiongnu, Xianlu, Linhu and Donghu united together with a total force of 300,000, in order to swallow up the army at Yanmen Pass, and then march straight in to take back all that they had not been able to plunder in previous times.
They were sent to cut off the support and supplies of the army at Yanmen Pass, but they did not expect to be discovered so quickly.
"Retreat!" The Hun general didn't care about anything else and evacuated with his soldiers and the supplies looted from Feisha Town.
Jin Yao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the army withdrawing overnight. Fortunately, this group of people had no backup and Yanmen Pass was still there.
"I always feel like something is wrong!" Jin Yao caught up with the townspeople of Feisha Town again, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Why would such a large army dare to appear inside the pass?
"What's wrong?" Gu asked Jin Yao, who had a frown on his face.
"Brother, please lead them to continue retreating. I have some things I need to verify!" Jin Yao decided to go back and figure it out, so he disappeared into the night again.
Back to Feisha Town, this group of barbarians set a fire when they left, burning the entire Feisha Town to ashes.
Without stopping, Jin Yao looked at the footsteps and horse hoof prints on the ground and followed them, but he didn't dare to follow too closely.
"There is a secret sentry!" Jin Yao looked at the lights of the camp in the wild in the distance, and intuitively determined that there was a secret sentry outside the camp.
Because it is too quiet. It is the autumn harvest season now, so there should be some frog sounds and cicada chirps, but there are none in many places!
After bypassing the camp, Jin Yao directly got himself stuck on the road between the barbarians and Yanmen Pass, lying in the grass and waiting quietly.
Soon, the sound of horse hooves was heard. It was a group of scouts, about a dozen people.
"To kill or not to kill?" Jin Yao hesitated. He had seen the Huns' cavalry. The organized cavalry could kill a top fighter with a kite in the open field.
Although it is night now, it is not easy to kill them all.
"Never mind!" Jin Yao held three stones in his hands and secretly exerted strength. When the war horses approached, he threw them directly, hitting the front feet of the three leading horses respectively.
"Hum~" The three leading horses felt pain and fell down.
The cavalrymen on horseback were able to turn over extremely quickly and roll on the ground, alleviating the impact of falling off their horses, and the ten riders behind them were able to stop suddenly and were not affected by the fall of the horses in front.
After escaping from the collision, the three soldiers who fell off their horses quickly drew out their scimitars and looked around vigilantly.
Just as they rolled to their feet and raised their heads, three cold rays had already arrived and pierced directly into the center of their necks. Before they died, they still maintained the posture of drawing their swords and looking around.
"Clang~" There was a long sound of weapons being unsheathed, and Jin Yao, holding a Mo Dao, quickly leaped into the cavalry who had suddenly stopped due to the loss of their horses. The Mo Dao swept across, and three heads flew up again.
Of the remaining seven riders at the back, three immediately dismounted to buy time for the last four to make a detour.
Jin Yao did not dare to be careless. If he was outflanked by the four men, it would be difficult for him to gain any advantage. However, the three men in front of him had already drawn their swords and rushed towards him quickly.
"Die!" As soon as Jin Yao landed, Mo Dao swept across him again rudely and unreasonably.
The three barbarian riders decisively put their hands on the back of their swords to block.
"Dang~" the weapons clashed, three scimitars broke, but the long and narrow Mo Dao continued to move forward and almost cut across the necks of the three men.
Jin Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and re-energized his internal strength to see the four riders who had already turned their horses around and were charging back.
Fortunately, it was night, and these barbarian riders did not dare to shoot with bows and crossbows for fear of hurting their own people by mistake. Therefore, they all half-crawled on the horse's back, with shiny scimitars lit at the side of the horse, and rushed towards Jin Yao, and came two by two.
Holding the Mo Dao horizontally in front of him, before the war horses were about to charge, Jin Yao decisively bent down like an iron arch bridge to avoid the first two war horses, and then jumped up like a spring, and used the Mo Dao to split the cavalry on the left side behind him, chopping off both the man and the horse's head, and then completed a 360-degree turn in the air.
The powerful force of the Mo Dao even threw the beheaded cavalryman towards another person standing side by side.
The cavalry on the right also reacted quickly. They turned sideways and hid under the horse's belly, avoiding the falling corpse.
"There is an expert, run!" The cavalryman who possessed the horse's belly shouted directly to the two soldiers who were already charging forward, then rode his horse and rushed forward without looking back.
The soldier who was planning to turn back did not pull the reins after hearing the reminder from behind and continued to rush forward.
After Jin Yao landed, the three riders had already disappeared from sight and only the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
"These are the barbarians from the grassland!" Jin Yao sighed. Although he killed ten people in a seemingly short time, in fact, in this short period of time, the combat power and coordination displayed by these barbarians were extremely rapid.
If he was not careful at all, Jin Yao would be the one to die.
Jin Yao did not chase him anymore. He walked towards the dead body of a soldier who was carrying a bamboo tube on his back and should be the squad leader. He directly took the bamboo tube from the squad leader.
Inside the bamboo tube was a roll of sheepskin with Xiongnu characters written in blood.
Jin Yao frowned and took a closer look in the moonlight. This was a report to his superior general, meaning that they had been discovered.
"Discovered?" Jin Yao frowned even more. Under what circumstances would one say being discovered?
There is only one possibility, that is, they sneaked in. But why would they sneak into the interior? Aren’t they afraid of being surrounded and attacked?
Jin Yao had a bad feeling!
