Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

He Xiong and others watched helplessly as their retreat was blocked and soldiers continued to fall.

He looked solemn, thinking that if he stayed here any longer, he might not even be able to survive. He could only rush forward and fight to the death with the Longtan thieves, perhaps there would be a chance of survival.

"Listen to my orders, all of you rush out!"

Without caring about the injured soldiers, he ordered his generals to lead the remaining soldiers forward.

"City Lord, the Hu people are trying to rush out of the valley!" The secret guards keenly noticed the movements of the Hu people.

"Send the signal! We'll close the door and beat the dog!"

The secret guard beside him released a flare into the air.

As the signal flare was fired, Lin Yinan and his men quickly moved in the direction of He Xiong on the top of the mountain.

They were to meet up with Yun Yi and Yun San at the exit of the valley and ambush the Hu people at the next location.

Not far ahead, Lin Yian and Lu Changqing were very excited when they saw the flare. It was finally their turn.

Zhou Yong, who was standing next to them, turned his head and reminded them from time to time, "Don't shoot until you hear the signal."

The two are the youngest in their archery camp, but they are the most talented in archery.

Although Zhou Yong is much older than them, he never looks down on them.

Lin Yian nodded honestly, "Don't worry, Brother Zhou, my sister told my brother and me before we came."

The city lord had spoken, and Zhou Yong said nothing more. He watched the movements in the valley vigilantly.

He Xiong and the rest of his men quickly rushed into their group's ambush circle.

"Shoot!" With the order.

Countless rockets fell from the sky and exploded on the Hu people, and a new round of unilateral strangulation began.

The Hu people had managed to pacify their war horses with great difficulty, but when the huge noise and vibration of the artillery fire sounded again, some horses that were naturally sensitive and not calm enough were frightened and jumped up and fled in panic.

Many soldiers were thrown off their horses and trampled into pulp by the mad horses.

The wounded soldiers groaned in pain, their faces covered in blood. Looking at the bodies of their companions who were missing limbs and with their internal organs spilling out, their eyes were filled with fear and despair.

The surviving soldiers followed the maddened horses, trying to rush out of the valley.

A series of rumbling sounds were heard, and more than a dozen large pits appeared at the exit of the valley. Many soldiers and crazy horses fell into the pits while running wildly.

He Xiong passed by and saw that the soldiers and horses who fell into the pit were pierced through the heart by the sharp spikes and died with their eyes open.

You bastard from Longtan, I will never forgive you.

He Xiong glared hatefully at the ambushers on the top of the mountain, then gritted his teeth and led his soldiers out of the valley.

When they integrated and counted the team, they found that they had suffered heavy casualties in this short valley, with the loss of nearly 10,000 men.

He was so angry that he wanted to pick up his knife and kill all the thieves in Longtan immediately.

Yu Shida also emerged from the valley alive, but there were only a few dozen people left in the vanguard team he led.

He was a little annoyed for a moment, but he had no choice but to go forward and ask He Xiong for instructions.

"General, the camp of the Longtan bandits is not far ahead. Should we continue to pursue them?"

He Xiong said with a gloomy face: "Now that we are out, we must kill all the Longjiang villains to avenge the dead soldiers!"

He Xiongyuan wanted to pass down the order to let the soldiers rest on the spot for a quarter of an hour.

Unexpectedly, the scout came hurriedly to report, "General, we found the Longtan soldiers evacuating ahead."

"Their people are still on the mountain. There must not be many people showing up at this time. Chase them and capture them at all costs." He Xiong said.

In the jungle.

"City Lord, the traces of the wounded soldiers' retreat have been covered up, and the Hu army is heading in our direction."

The soldier in charge of the investigation came to report.

Lin Yinan swallowed the biscuit in his hand in big gulps, took a gulp of water, and then slowly said: "Yunxi told Yunyi and Yunsan that the fish has taken the bait."

Yunxi took the order and left.

Lin Yinan stood up, glanced at Qian Wu who was following beside him, and reached out to wipe the crumbs from the corner of her mouth.

"Are you scared?"

Qianwu shook her head, "Don't be afraid!"

"Follow us closely and don't get separated."

The large army led by Yun Yi and Yun San was hiding in the jungle. Even though some of the Hu soldiers were killed in the valley, the number of people on both sides was still too different. Lin Yinan was not prepared to confront them head-on.

So, after investigation, Lin Yinan found that the dense woods and thick grass here could provide excellent hiding conditions for the soldiers, and he could lure the Hu people into the forest to engage in jungle warfare.

Jungle warfare is conducive to implementing division tactics such as encirclement, detour, infiltration, and surprise attack against the Hu people. If used well, it can also annihilate the Hu army one by one.

Lin Yinan divided the team into many small teams, hiding in various corners of the jungle.

When He Xiong led his troops to chase, he saw Lin Yinan personally leading a team to cut through the grass and trees in the jungle, clearing a path, and moving forward with difficulty.

Yu Shida saw the people in front clearly and pointed at the leader Lin Yinan and said, "General, the person leading the team in front is the female city lord of Longtan."

"Oh?"

The light in the forest was dim, and He Xiong squinted his eyes and looked carefully.

The people in front just happened to discover them at this time.

Lin Yinan turned around and met his cold, bright eyes. He Xiong was encouraged. He originally thought that a woman who could be the ruler of a city must be tall, strong and powerful.

Unexpectedly, the city lord was such a heroic and awe-inspiring beauty. He Xiong was stunned for a moment.

"General, could this be a trap?" The deputy general beside him looked at the people in front who were evacuating slowly and felt that something was wrong.

With just a quick glance, He Xiong was deeply attracted by the graceful figure with delicate features, picturesque eyebrows and upright posture.

However, he is not the kind of person who would be blinded by lust. The loss of so many soldiers in the valley just now was caused by this woman, and she should not be underestimated.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Pass the order down, have the troops maintain formation, and the archers be ready to fight at any time."

In order to prevent the opponent from cheating, He Xiong quickly adjusted the formation.

He knew very well that the south was mountainous and forested, and most of his soldiers came from the heart of the grassland and were not familiar with such dense jungles.

Looking at Lin Yinan who was right in front of him, He Xiong had no intention of letting her go.

He selected a cavalry unit and, despite the dissuasion of his subordinates, personally led the team to capture Lin Yinan.

"City Lord, the barbarians are chasing us!"

Yun Shiyi and Yun Si closely protected Lin Yinan.

"You've arrived just in time. Let's proceed as planned."

The group tried hard to pretend that they were being chased by the enemy and ran forward at a quicker pace.

The Hu people were approaching, and He Xiong's obscene voice sounded behind him.

"Little lady, don't run! Come back with me and serve me well. I promise to make sure you have a good meal."

"City Lord, they have entered the attack range." Yun Si said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yinan slowed down his pace, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, he drew the sword from his waist, turned around and pounced towards He Xiong.

She was agile and had good kung fu skills, and the tip of her sword was pointing directly at He Xiong's face.
