Chapter 21: Break Your Lifeline

100 miles east of Wancheng, Biyang County.

A gentle breeze was blowing in his face, and the mink seemed to be able to smell a smell of blood in the wind.

Behind him, the Xiliang light horseman of more than 1,000 people galloped on horseback, following behind him, all the way east along Bishui.

The sun was deep, and suddenly, the figures of soldiers and horses appeared in front.

Mink Xiong stared into the distance, and faintly saw carts of donkey carts, hundreds, slowly moving south along the water.

In the center of the convoy, a large flag with the word "Li" is faintly visible.

"Sure enough, it is the grain team escorted by Li Yan, Ji Ling's information is really correct......" Diao Xiong's spirit perked up, and in the eagle's eyes, the killing machine was revealed.

Robbing grain, this is the clever plan that Ji Ling offered to Mink Xiong.

Mink Xiong attacked Wancheng, and the counties to the north and west of Wancheng either surrendered to him or were cut off from Yuan Shu by him.

In the south, Xinye counties were in the area where Yuan and Liu were fighting, and the people were in exile and their hukou was lost.

In this way, Yuan Shu could only rely on the Biyang counties east of Wancheng to provide him with grain and grass.

Ji Ling told Mink Xiong that Yuan Shu had ordered Li Yan, the local grain official in Nanyang, to forcibly collect more than 100,000 grains and grass from Biyang, which would be transported to the Xinye front line in the near future, and asked Mink Xiong to lead a light horse to rob the grain.

These 100,000 grains and grass can be said to be Yuan Shu's life-saving food, once this batch of grain and grass is robbed, Yuan Shu will fall into a crisis of food shortage.

If the food and grass are insufficient, the heart of the Yuan army will quickly collapse, and even if Yuan Shu is transferred back to a fierce general like Sun Jian, he will not be able to return to the sky.

What Diao Xiong is best at is surprising, and immediately adopted Ji Ling's offer, leaving Xu Rong to guard the city, but with Ji Ling, he led more than 1,000 light horsemen, doubled the road, and came to rob the grain.

The convoy in front of him for several miles was clearly the Yuan Junliang team, and it turned out that Ji Ling's plan was successful.

Killed, burned.

Mink Xiong shouted excitedly: "Where is Ji Ling!" “

"The end will be." Ji Ling patted his horse and rushed from behind.

The silver spear pointed ahead, and Mink Xiong said sharply: "This general ordered you to lead eight hundred iron cavalry, kill them first, and give me the food protection army that crushes the enemy in one fell swoop." ”

"The last will obey."

Ji Ling received the order, patted his horse and accelerated, rushed to the front of the team, raised his sword, and shouted: "The front army listens to the order and follows me to level the enemy army." ”

In the midst of the loud cheers, Ji Ling, who urgently needed to prove his worth, shook his spirits and killed him first.

Behind him, eight hundred Xiliang iron horsemen joined in with a bang, like a torrent of steel, and stabbed at the Yuan army's grain protection team.

In the head-on direction, a thousand Yuan troops guarded the grain army, seeing the dust in front of them, and the iron cavalry rolling and killing, in an instant, the army was already panicked.

Li Yan, the grain officer, swept his eyes, recognized the banner of the mink character, and couldn't help but change his expression: "Xiliang Iron Cavalry, it is Mink Xiong's iron cavalry, this guy actually led a light horse to rob the grain!?" ”

"General, it's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, we are all infantry troops, where can we stop it, quickly abandon the grain and withdraw." The lieutenant general around him was already frightened.

Li Yan raised his eyebrows, his face showed anger, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Isn't I, Li Yan, a person who fled without a fight, ordered the whole army, quickly formed a formation, and fought to the death to meet the enemy." ”

At the critical moment, Li Yan was extremely courageous, and he planned to fight to the death.

Li Yan's fighting spirit slightly infected the soldiers who were in a panic, and they hurriedly formed a formation in a panic, barely mustering up the courage to prepare for the battle.

The oncoming 800 iron horsemen had already rushed to a distance of more than 100 paces.

Ji Ling rode like a fly, and the war knife in his hand pointed straight forward, like a black lightning, extremely majestic and dazzling.

Eight hundred Xiliang Iron Riders, roaring, roaring, followed behind Ji Ling, surging forward like a black tide.

"Crossbowman, release the arrows!" Li Yan raised his knife and shouted.

In the Yuan army's array, the crossbowmen hurriedly opened their bows and arrows, but the iron cavalry was coming very fast, and they had no time to aim at all, so they could only take an arrow in a hurry.

The scattered rain of arrows shot casually towards the rushing mink iron cavalry.

With the loss of the opportunity to fire a salvo, such scattered arrows could not form an effective lethality at all, and a wave of arrows poured in, hitting less than 12 out of 10.

There were only three shots in battle, not to mention that now, after a round of arrows, Yuan's crossbowmen had no chance to release a second arrow.

The huge black spear, with the speed of the wind, carried the power of destroying everything, and shot unstoppably.

Fifty steps......

Forty steps......

Thirty steps......

With an earth-shattering rumbling sound, the extremely sharp giant spear crashed into the Yuan army's array.

Ji Ling took the lead, and the sword dance debuted with white light, shooting out in all directions.

In a burst of weapons shattering and limbs splashing blood, the Yuan army, who had formed a hastily formation, was easily torn to pieces like a scarecrow.

The iron flow behind him was rolling, like a flood pouring in from the breach, and the swords and guns ruthlessly slashed at the panicked Yuan Jun left and right.

This huge sharp spear, broken through in the center, instantly penetrated the fragile defense line of the Yuan army, and tore more than a thousand Yuan troops in half.

In such a wilderness and open place, the infantry encountered the impact of cavalry, the strength was not superior, and the morale was also low, even if Li Yan was quite familiar with the way of soldiers, he could not resist the impact of the cavalry.

The iron hooves passed, and the soldiers of the Yuan army in the chaos were either crushed by the iron hooves, or they retreated and scattered one after another.

The powerful impact of the cavalry was vividly reflected at this moment.

Ji Ling took the lead, killed the chaotic army, and took Li Yan's place directly, dancing the knife and shouting: "Li Yan, my general's iron cavalry is invincible, if you don't get off the horse and surrender, when will you wait." ”

Li Yan is also bloody, and when he heard Ji Ling's surrender, he became even more angry in his heart, and said angrily: "Ji Ling, I, Li Yanyan, can be a traitor like you." ”

Ji Ling heard Li Yan's sarcastic words, and couldn't help but be furious, roared angrily, and slapped the horse and killed him.

Li Yan had no fear, and fought with a horse and a sword, and the two horses fought together in a blink of an eye.

Under the remnant sun, but listening to the sound of metal roaring endlessly, sparks splashed in all directions, and the two of them each performed their life knife skills, and the battle was dark.

Historically, Li Yan's martial arts, but he was able to fight with Huang Zhong, and his martial arts reached the strength of inner strength.

It's just that it was Liu Bei who entered Shu, more than ten years later, and now Li Yan is still young, and his martial arts have not been tempered to that point, but he is still in the realm of using moves.

If you talk about martial arts, Li Yan at this time is on a par with Ji Ling.

The shadow of the knife was heavy, and dozens of moves passed in the blink of an eye, and the two of them fought inseparably.

Li Yan was able to fight hard with Ji Ling on his own, but the subordinates under his command were not good.

This group of grain guards was originally a county soldier, and their strength was worse than Yuan Shu's regular army.

The tiger and wolf soldiers of the 800 mink army pounced on it, like chopping vegetables and melons, wantonly harvesting human heads.

Li Yan fought for dozens of rounds, and seeing that the soldiers on the left and right were fighting fewer and fewer, he knew that if he continued to die like this, he would fall into a desperate situation of annihilation.

"Our army is too weak to withstand the onslaught of enemy cavalry, so it is the best plan." In the hasty fierce battle, Li Yan's thoughts flew and he quickly made a decision.

Thinking of this, Li Yan shouted violently, rose up and attacked a few moves, saw a gap, jumped out of the battle group, and hurriedly retreated north.

Ji Ling didn't allow him to escape, and immediately called for soldiers and horses, and waved his army to cover the killing.

It's a pity that Li Yan led them all infantry troops, so how could they escape.

Just as he had escaped less than a hundred paces, in the direction of his head, suddenly there was a wild dust, and hundreds of iron horsemen descended from the north like divine soldiers, blocking his way.

Under the reflection of the bloody sun, the banner of the word "mink" is flying proudly.

"Li Yan, since I bumped into me, how can I let you escape." The ermine male, who stood proudly with a spear, raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Li Yan was already shocked, and then he realized that Diao Xiong had expected that he would not be able to resist the enemy and would flee north, so he personally led the army to the north to intercept him.

Li Yan, who was shocked, didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly turned his horse around, wanting to look at other ways and escape.

At this moment, the earth-shattering shouts of killing came from behind, and Ji Ling led more cavalry to kill, and in a blink of an eye, he surrounded Li Yan and more than a hundred of his lonely legions.

Li Yan looked around in astonishment, but saw the iron horsemen of the mink army everywhere, galloping around him in all directions, and he had fallen into a desperate situation on all sides.

"Could it be that I, Li Yan, am going to die here today......"

Li Yan sighed in the sky, and his shocked face already showed a look of despair.
