NOVEL NEXT Chapter 4: Game within game, the terrifying Zhang Liao
I saw a group of barbarian cavalry suddenly rushing out from behind the camp. Judging from the size, it was conservatively estimated to be no less than a thousand people.
"This is the end of the world."
Seeing this situation, Liu Ye couldn't help but feel a little desperate.
If he was originally just an infantryman, he would still have the confidence to fight his way out of the encirclement.
But now that even the cavalry has been sorted out, what's the point of playing with a hammer?
After all, two legs can't outrun four legs.
"Everyone, retreat toward the canyon."
At this time, the captain also noticed the movement behind the camp. He drove his opponent back with a sharp knife, and then rushed towards the canyon with a loud shout.
"Made, you run really fast."
Liu Ye cursed secretly and quickly followed. The other people who had broken out also ran towards the canyon.
When everyone rushed into the canyon, the number of people was nearly half less than before, and the remaining people were all injured, how miserable they were.
Even Liu Ye had an arrow stuck in his butt.
Originally, with his ability, he would not be hit by the arrow, but his back was turned to the arrow. Even though he tried his best to dodge after hearing the noise, he still could not completely avoid it.
Fortunately, it is not pierced deeply and has little impact on combat effectiveness.
Boom boom boom!
The barbarian cavalry attacked very quickly. Not long after everyone ran into the canyon, the distance between the two sides had shortened to about a hundred meters.
For a cavalry unit, this distance is a matter of charge.
Listening to the desperate sound of horse hooves behind them, a feeling of despair gradually spread among the crowd.
However, just when the group of barbarian cavalry completely entered the canyon, an accident happened.
Accompanied by bursts of roaring sounds, dozens of boulders half as tall as a man suddenly fell from the cliffs on both sides.
Hundreds of barbarian cavalry were smashed into pulp in an instant. Huge boulders piled up on top of each other, completely blocking the entrance to the canyon. The barbarian army coming from behind could only stop and stare outside the canyon.
"This is……"
Seeing this sudden change, Liu Ye seemed to have a flash of lightning in his mind, and many things that he had not understood before suddenly became clear at this moment.
"Good guy, you dare to use us as bait!"
At this time, Liu Ye still didn't understand the essence of tonight's night attack.
On the surface it was an attack on the camp, but in reality it was to lure the snake out of its hole.
If he guessed correctly, the real target to be dealt with above was this barbarian cavalry.
This also explains why the whole army recruits people with such great fanfare. This in itself is to leak the news and make the barbarians take it lightly.
Let them mistakenly think that they have seized the opportunity, and they can safely and boldly send cavalry to pursue the night attack team.
Little did they know that once they pursue them, they will fall into a situation that is beyond redemption.
"Sure enough, mercy has no power. In order to win this war, the lives of thousands of people were given up at the drop of a hat. It's really cruel." Liu Ye couldn't help but secretly marveled at the iron-blooded tactics of the man behind the scenes.
That 10,000 yuan is more like a pension than a mission reward.
The only person here who knows the inside story is probably the commander.
No wonder he didn't run in the morning and didn't run in the evening. He didn't run until the barbarian cavalry appeared.
With the strength of the eighth-level blood exchange realm, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to escape.
At the same time, the barbarian cavalry couldn't help but panic when they saw that their retreat was cut off.
However, as the barbarian leader shouted loudly, the team slowly returned to order.
At the same time, the rapid sound of horse hooves was heard from the other side of the canyon, and the ground began to tremble violently.
In a moment, a cavalry unit with a size of a thousand people appeared in front of everyone. The only difference was that this time it was the Han cavalry.
"It's the Commander-in-Chief!"
"Great, the commander is here, we are saved."
Everyone who was originally in despair couldn't help crying with joy when they saw this, and the atmosphere instantly became heated.
It was obvious that this leader had a very high prestige in their hearts.
Even if you don't do anything, just showing up is enough to give everyone strong confidence.
Liu Ye was a little more curious about this person, but because of the crowd, he couldn't see the appearance of the cavalry commander clearly for the time being.
"Everyone, move out of the way."
After hearing the commander's order, everyone ignored their excitement and retreated to both sides, leaving a twenty-meter-wide passage.
In the process, Liu Ye finally saw the true face of the commander-in-chief in Lushan.
"So young?"
The person riding at the front of the team was a young general holding a long-handled wild goose feather sword and wearing a chainmail armor. His age was estimated to be no more than 20 years old.
However, although he looks young, his aura is no worse than that of veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time. He is calm and a little sharp, like a sharp sword that is about to be unsheathed, ready to show its edge at any time.
After a while, the distance between the two cavalry teams shortened to one hundred meters, and then they faced each other like that. The atmosphere became extremely depressing for a while.
Da da da.
At this moment, the young man led the horse and walked out of the formation, dragging a long trace on the ground with the long knife in his hand.
"Come and fight!"
He raised his long sword and pointed it directly at the barbarian commander opposite him. An invisible energy surged around his body, and his whole body faintly emitted a light blue light.
"Hey, are you adding special effects?"
Liu Ye was stunned.
He could still understand the previous battle of the Centurion. It was nothing more than greater strength and faster speed, but it was still within the normal category. But how did he achieve this whole-body glow? Is there a genetic mutation?
boom!
A loud noise interrupted Liu Ye's contemplation. He looked up and saw two figures, one blue and one red, colliding crazily in the field, like thunder.
The energy released from the battle even plowed away a layer of the land within a radius of dozens of meters, which was simply terrifying.
Liu Ye felt that with his small body, he would probably be torn into pieces as soon as he got close.
"Commander Zhang is too strong!"
"Yes, at a young age, he has already reached the seventh level of Qi Gathering. Such talent is simply astonishing."
Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Liu Ye's heart moved, and he suddenly asked a veteran next to him: "Brother, do you know the name of our commander?"
Hearing this, the veteran was stunned and glanced at Liu Ye with a strange look.
"Are you a new kid? You don't even know the name of our commander? Listen up, our commander is the contemporary young master of the Zhang family in Bingzhou, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan!"
"What? Zhang Liao!" Liu Ye couldn't help but glare.
Although he learned from the memory of the original owner that the force he belonged to was "Han", he didn't think it had anything to do with the Han Dynasty in his previous life.
There is no way, the painting styles of the two are completely different, it can even be said to be worlds apart.
Just when he first heard the familiar name "Zhang Liao", Liu Ye couldn't help but think of the famous Zhang Liao in Xiaoyaojin in history.
Could it be that the two of them are really the same person, and that he has not traveled to another world, but to the Han Dynasty in history?
However, a name alone cannot prove anything. He needs more information to support it.
At the same time, the battle on the field also entered a fierce stage.
The sound of violent collisions was endless, and sometimes even merged into one. The weapons in the hands of the two men almost left afterimages, and the specific movements were completely unclear.
boom!
The knife and the stick collided hard together, and then both of them stepped back several meters before stopping.
But if you look carefully, you can see that there is blood oozing out of the right hand of the barbarian leader.
To be honest, compared to the two fighting men, Liu Ye admired the horses under their crotches more. They could even withstand such a fierce battle. They were really amazing horses!
As expected, the soil and water support the people. Horses are the main battle mounts in this world. Facing the increasingly abnormal human beings, they can only be forced to start the road of evolution. The main thing is a rough-skinned and thick-bodied horse.
"Tuoba Tao, I didn't expect that after half a year of not seeing you, you still haven't made any progress at all. If your strength is only this, then today is the day you die!"
With a wave of the long knife in Zhang Liao's hand, the air was cut open.
Liu Ye could feel that extreme edge even from dozens of meters away.
Obviously, this person's level of swordsmanship is not low, at least Liu Ye thinks he can't reach this level.
"Arrogant!!"
Facing Zhang Liao's provocation, Tuoba Tao looked extremely angry, but there was a hint of incompetence and rage in it.
However, this was also the first time that Liu Ye heard barbarians speaking Chinese. He thought that all barbarians would only roar like wild beasts. Unexpectedly, not all barbarians were barbarians.
"Oh, are you arrogant?"
Zhang Liao smiled disdainfully, and the next second, he jumped from the horse, and then an astonishing scene appeared.
"This sword will cut off your head!"
