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

He Xiong was prepared, and he jumped off his horse, holding up his knife to block Lin Yinan's chopping attack on his face, and said jokingly: "You little girl, you are really hot and exciting! I like it!"

After he finished speaking, he swung his sword with all his strength towards Lin Yinan.

Lin Yinan bent down and leaned back slightly to avoid the attack.

This Hu man is so strong!

There was a sneer on her lips, her body moved as fast as lightning, the long sword in her hand flashed with cold light, and she stabbed towards He Xiong with force. The swords of both sides collided with a thrilling clanging sound, and sparks flew.

He Xiong was knocked back by Lin Yinan's force and took several steps back before he managed to steady himself.

I was secretly surprised in my heart, this woman's kung fu is so powerful!

He Xiong no longer dared to look down on the woman in front of him. In his eyes there was shock and admiration, which was completely different from other women he had met before.

At this moment, He Xiong made up his mind.

He must get her at any cost!

Imprison her by his side and make her his forbidden lover!

A whistle sounded in the forest. Lin Yinan no longer wanted to fight and quickly gathered his inner strength to shake off the person in front of him.

He raised his chin and curled his thin lips into a sneer, his eyes full of cold murderous intent. He waved his left hand at him, and three short arrows shot straight towards He Xiong.

He Xiong hurriedly swung his sword to block, but an arrow penetrated deeply into his shoulder. He lost his balance and fell off his horse. The frightened horse immediately ran towards the dense forest.

"Bang" with a signal, it exploded into the air.

The sharp arrows were like black lightning, cutting through the air, making sharp whistling sounds, passing through the numerous obstacles in the forest, and instantly piercing through the heads and chests of the Hu people.

Lin Yinan deployed thousands of archers on the outskirts of the jungle, and successfully dispersed the Hu army by shooting sharp arrows.

Afterwards, Yun Yi and Yun San each led two teams, and the soldiers formed a formation with halberds and shields in their hands and rushed forward.

"Four Warriors Formation?!"

He Xiong stared in disbelief at the man who was rushing towards his team.

The Longtan soldiers were divided into countless teams of less than ten people. These teams cooperated with each other and beat his soldiers so badly that they had no power to resist or fight back.

Their weapons are mainly spears and halberds, and they strive to win the battle quickly. As the battle progresses, the teams can be split and combined at will to carry out roundabout, encirclement and surprise attacks on the enemy.

If this continues, the entire army will be wiped out!

He Xiong quickly came to his senses, pulled out the arrow from his shoulder, and quickly returned to the team.

He led his soldiers to fight and retreat, rushing all the way out of the jungle, and just outside the jungle they met up with a group of tens of thousands of Hu people who had been intercepted in the valley.

Looking at the Longtan army chasing after him, He Xiong suddenly felt full of confidence.

"Brothers, charge! The Longtan thieves are right behind us. Kill them and you will be rewarded handsomely."

Lin Yinan rode on his horse, looking down at him, and said calmly: "If you want to kill us, you have to see if you have the ability to do so. Look back and see what's happening over there in Nanzhou Prefecture."

"What can it be? I have 50,000 troops over there." He Xiong said stubbornly.

Frightened by her cunning and treachery, he did not believe what Lin Yinan said.

However, his subordinates turned around and looked towards the direction of Nanzhou Prefecture as instructed.

"General, yes, it's a signal fire!"

The general was so frightened that he could hardly speak clearly.

He Xiong looked back and saw billowing smoke rising from the direction of Nanzhou Prefecture.

"you……"

He Xiong suddenly remembered that there were 20,000 troops stationed in Cangwu County in the west. The city was leaderless at the moment, and they actually took advantage of the situation and sneaked in in a despicable manner.

Attacked from both sides, He Xiong had no choice but to order a retreat.

The Hu people were defeated and Longtan won again.

When Wu Peng and his men were cleaning up the corpses of the Hu people in the valley, they found the dying Morey, who was seriously injured at that time.

Yun Si sent someone to report to Lin Yinan.

She was sitting in the tent, looking at the map of Nanzhou Prefecture, her face as cold as ice, her fingers tapping lightly on the back of the chair, and she said nonchalantly: "It's just a dog under the command of the Hu people, kill it! Otherwise, it will cause trouble again in the future."

She never likes to drag things out, and if possible, she will nip any danger in the bud.

"What to do with the prisoners who were only slightly injured?"

"Those who are willing to surrender will be allowed to cultivate the land, and those who are unwilling to surrender will be killed. Growing food is not easy, so don't waste it."

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."

Walking out of the tent, Yun Si wiped the sweat from his forehead. His mistress's methods were even simpler and more brutal than his master's.

In the past, whenever they had captives who were still breathing, the master would ask Yun Wu to treat them, as he couldn't bear to see them die. Even if those captives did not surrender, the master did not want to commit too many sins of killing.

Of the two methods, he prefers his wife's.

Times are tough, and no one wants to repay evil with kindness.

After cleaning up the battlefield in the valley and jungle, a fire burned for three days in several large pits in the valley and at the foot of another low-lying mountain.

The people hiding in the mountains did not go out at night.

When Lu Changsheng of Cangwu County heard that Longtan had defeated more than 20,000 Hu troops in this battle, he decided to visit him in person.

"City Lord Lin is truly a heroine!"

As soon as he sat down, Lu Changsheng gave Lin Yinan a thumbs up.

In this battle, he heard that the Hu general personally led 50,000 troops to attack the Longtan camp, and the generals in the army were all worried for Lin Yinan.

No one expected that she knew how to use the terrain advantage to inflict heavy damage on the Hu army.

"No, no, these are what my husband taught me before he left." Lin Yinan said modestly.

"That's because City Lord Lin is gifted and intelligent."

Lu Changsheng knew very well that if he did not have a certain amount of courage and determination, he would not be able to do what Lin Yinan did even if he had many talented people to help him and teach him.

Lin Yinan did not get carried away by his praise, "I wonder what General Lu's next plan is?"

"This general came here to discuss this matter with City Lord Lin. The Hu people will not give up after suffering such a heavy blow. Instead of waiting for them to attack us again, why don't you and I join forces to deal them a fatal blow."

After this battle, Lu Changsheng's confidence increased greatly.

"What a coincidence, I thought so too. The granary in Nanzhou Prefecture has been burned down by my people. If we want to take action, we have to do it now while they have not yet recovered." Lin Yinan said.

Lu Changsheng's face turned grim, and he asked seriously, "What is City Lord Lin planning to do?"

"We can't let them hide in Nanzhou Prefecture forever. We have to take the initiative to force them out..."

After such planning, the two sides finally reached an agreement.

During this period, soldiers from Longtan and Cangwu counties frequently came to Nanzhou Prefecture to provoke, and countless small battles were fought back and forth.

The new grain has not yet arrived, and the grain reserves in Nanzhou Prefecture have been exhausted.

After some coercion and inducement, He Xiong threw this difficult problem to Yu Shida to solve.

Yu Shida had no choice but to go home and beg Yu Xunmei to use the Yu family's vast fortune to purchase food from the surrounding areas.

While the grain was being transported, it was robbed by Yun's group.

He Xiong was extremely angry, and he personally issued a declaration of war to Lu Changsheng and Lin Yinan, and then the battle began, and the location was set outside the city of Nanzhou Prefecture.

In the midsummer weather, the sun is scorching and the cicadas are chirping loudly.

Outside the city of Nanzhou, the two armies faced each other, the soldiers were ready to go, and the atmosphere was once very tense.
