northernbook Chapter 244 Melee
Chapter 244 Melee
On a chaotic battlefield, the commander of the left wing, a mighty officer in armor, had a sharp gaze, and locked onto a brave and fearless figure - Lin Kunlun. This warrior was like a god of war, cutting through thorns and brambles, invincible, and rushing towards him with murderous intent. The officer knew that he must not retreat at this moment, because once he retreated, the morale of the officers and soldiers on the entire left wing would collapse instantly, and it would turn into a disastrous defeat in an instant.
He took a deep breath, straightened his chest, and decided to personally fight the rebel leader. He shouted to the surrounding cavalry: "What are you still standing there for? Shoot them to death with bows and arrows!" The cavalry woke up as if from a dream, drew their bows and arrows, put the bowstrings on, and aimed at Lin Kunlun.
Arrows were shot at Lin Kunlun like a rainstorm. He waved his spear and easily blocked most of them. However, in the gap between his defenses, an arrow cunningly passed through the gap and headed straight for his chest. Lin Kunlun had no time to dodge, and the arrow pierced his chest deeply.
Seeing this, the enemy thought victory was in sight, but they underestimated Lin Kunlun's will. He did not pause for a moment because of his injury, but rushed forward more bravely, closing the distance with the enemy in an instant, leaving the enemy no chance to draw their bows and shoot arrows again.
Seeing this, the officer knew that he could not hesitate any longer and had to take action himself. He was quite confident in his martial arts and thought that a farmer who had just put down his farm tools could never be his opponent. In his opinion, Lin Kunlun was just a little stronger.
However, the next scene surprised him. Lin Kunlun jumped up from his warhorse, his figure as agile as an eagle, and he flipped two meters high in the air. He waved his arm, and the spear in his hand stabbed into the ground like lightning. With a few muffled "puff puff puff" sounds, the spear instantly pierced the chests of two enemy soldiers.
The two enemy soldiers screamed miserably and fell into a pool of blood, holding their wounds. This scene shocked the surrounding cavalrymen, who stood there in a daze, no longer daring to attack. Lin Kunlun did not even look at the two dead enemy soldiers, and continued to charge forward. Wherever he passed, the enemy soldiers fell one after another, without any escape.
Seeing this, the officer knew he could no longer sit there and wait for death, so he quickly drew his weapon and rushed towards Lin Kunlun. He rode on his horse, holding a broadsword, and used the momentum of his horse to launch a fierce attack on Lin Kunlun.
However, the enemy he encountered this time was much stronger than he had imagined. His spear collided with the spear in Lin Kunlun's hand, and he felt a huge force coming along the spear shaft, which made his palm numb. He almost couldn't hold the spear in his hand, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
From the initial disdain to the current seriousness, the officer began to fight with Lin Kunlun with all his strength. The spear in his hand danced quickly, turning into a plum blossom-like spear shadow, stabbing towards Lin Kunlun. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not gain the upper hand.
Lin Kunlun dodged the fatal blow deftly, and then made a clean and neat counterattack, with the tip of the spear accurately hitting the helmet of the general. The officer felt a sharp pain in his head, and his helmet was lifted off, tumbling several times in the air before falling to the ground. His hair was loose, and he looked very embarrassed. Seeing this, the surrounding enemy soldiers gasped, not expecting that their commander would be defeated by the enemy at such a critical moment.
The officer covered his head with his hands, staring at Lin Kunlun with wide eyes. He couldn't accept the fact that he was defeated by a seemingly ordinary farmer. However, the reality was in front of him, and he had to admit that Lin Kunlun's strength was far beyond his imagination.
Lin Kunlun did not stop just because he defeated the enemy general, because he knew the battle was not over yet. He continued to wield the spear in his hand and led the warriors behind him to launch wave after wave of fierce attacks on the enemy.
Under the leadership of Lin Kunlun, their team was unstoppable and soon broke through the enemy's defense line. The enemy soldiers were defeated and fled in all directions. The officer saw that the situation was hopeless and knew that it would be futile to resist any further, so he ordered a retreat!
Zhou Kai also saw the situation here. He sent out his personal soldiers to prepare and gather the fleeing soldiers to fight again. Those soldiers even killed several fleeing people. But the effect of doing so was minimal, and it even accelerated the escape of those people. There were so many people running that they could not stop them at all.
"These people are so useless! Our military strength is several times theirs, yet we were still defeated by them!" Zhou Kai couldn't understand why the battle situation was like this?
Lin Kunlun led his troops to chase for two or three miles, then he stopped the pursuit and ordered his cavalry to gather. As the gong sounded, a group of cavalry suddenly swept in from the hills like a whirlwind and arrived in front of him. It turned out that Tie Feng was worried about the situation here and came to support. They also collected the scattered horses of officers and soldiers on the battlefield. Since some people were trained to ride horses along the way, they temporarily put together a cavalry team of more than 100 people. However, he did not support Lin Kunlun. Instead, he killed the right side of the officers and soldiers.
In a short while, the officers and soldiers were killed and thrown to the ground.
"Haha, these soldiers are vulnerable! Follow me and kill them!" Tie Feng said with a smile. His more than 100 cavalrymen were the main force, followed by other infantrymen.
Ye Ting originally planned to annihilate the troops of the Iron Front as the vanguard army, supervise the battle personally, offer a reward, and besiege for a long time, but he could not get what he wanted. At this time, he saw that Lin Kunlun had defeated dozens of soldiers and officials, galloping on the battlefield, invincible. So he left some troops to continue the siege, and personally led some of his elite soldiers and the two thousand fresh troops sent by Hong Chengchou to besiege King Chuang.
After the melee broke out, although the peasant army fought very bravely and was able to defeat ten enemies with one, they were too few in number, the terrain was unfavorable, and the men and horses were hungry and exhausted, so they suffered heavy losses and were quickly divided into many parts, each of which faced the enemy and could not take care of each other.
At first, Lin Kunlun was able to take the initiative, find targets, and kill the enemies one by one. Later, this initiative was gradually lost. He rushed east and west, just to rescue the troops surrounded by the government troops and try to transfer the troops to the hills in the east. However, the unprecedented difficult situation did not shake his confidence in breaking through. When Sun Chuanting personally led more than 3,000 elite soldiers to the vicinity of Lin Kunlun, there were less than 500 cavalrymen left by his side. He was covering other troops to retreat to the hills, and some troops were fighting hard with the government troops and could not get rid of them.
Lin Kunlun sighed. Most of his soldiers looked panicked when they saw this situation. Many people were afraid that if Lin Kunlun was lost after being surrounded by the enemy, the whole army would be helpless. Lin Kunlun saw everyone's mood and saw that everyone's face was very anxious. The current situation was still very dangerous. Although they had repelled the attack of these officers and soldiers, they had not yet escaped from the encirclement of officers and soldiers.
"Commander Lin! Should we follow the original route or continue fighting here?" Mu Feng was able to escape and came to Lin Kunlun's side.
At this time, there was a ravine between Lin Kunlun and the officers and soldiers! They had a short rest.
"Listen up fellow villagers! You are surrounded! Put down your weapons now! I promise to spare your lives!" Someone in the opposite camp shouted loudly. The voice came from the Northwest County area. Obviously, they wanted to use this method to break the determination of Lin Kunlun and his soldiers.
"Listen up, rebel general! If you surrender now, we can recommend you to serve as an official in our court!"
……
Zhou Kai found a lot of people with loud voices and started shouting loudly.
"Sir Zhou, this is a brilliant move of yours! I'm afraid many rebels will come to surrender soon!" A general next to Zhou Kai couldn't help but praise.
"Haha! I also learned this from ancient military books! How brave Xiang Yu was in ancient times! But he still lost to the strategy of being surrounded by enemies!" Zhou Zhi was very satisfied with the current situation. Just now, Lin Kunlun and his men were caught off guard. But now it is clear that there are not many people left in Lin Kunlun's group. It is obvious that they have reached the end of their strength.
