Niu Chuan soon found out whether Zhang Lin dared to make a move.
"Should I draft it?"
"Do it!"
When Niu Chuan saw Zhang Lin charging forward without hesitation, he finally realized that all his thinking and considerations had come to nothing; Zhang Lin was truly a reckless fool...
Ushikawa was also a man of great courage, and he decisively ordered the troops to engage in battle.
Although he didn't want a fierce battle and was afraid of losing too many troops, things had come to this point, so Ushikawa was determined to fight to the death.
One side is a little over a thousand.
On one side, it's a little over two thousand.
Despite the nearly double the number of people, Niu Chuan was not afraid at all.
However, Ushikawa overlooked one problem.
That's Zhang Lin's strength.
...
"Who is the person at the very front giving orders?"
As Zhang Lin charged forward, he asked Lu Dazhao and Li Junhao, who were beside him, for their questions.
Asking Lu Dazhao is pointless. This young man, riding a chestnut horse, is in the lead, his eyes are red, and he holds his Green Dragon Crescent Blade high with both hands. He is majestic and has the aura of a fierce general. His eyes are only on the enemy in front of him.
Zhang Lin spoke?
Sorry, I can't hear you at all.
Li Junhao was the most reliable one. He immediately replied, "He is Peng Bing's son-in-law, named Niu Chuan. He's quite smart. Since he came here, it means he is the commander of this team."
"No, he looks so weak, how dare he stand at the very front?"
Zhang Lin asked, puzzled.
For some people, their identity can be discerned at a glance just by their demeanor.
For example, Wu Zhihui, who serves the city lord.
The old man was very thin, with a goatee and small eyes that would squint at any moment, making him look like a cunning advisor.
Niu Chuan's temperament is similar to Wu Zhihui's.
This guy was tall and thin, with a face whiter than a woman's. He wore gold-rimmed glasses, which he would occasionally push up, making him look exactly like a refined scoundrel.
Moreover, they hid behind several strong men, observing the situation ahead, all in a furtive and timid manner.
He looked like a sycophant with absolutely no fighting ability.
Therefore, Zhang Lin couldn't understand how he dared to stand at the very front.
"I don't know either……"
Li Junhao couldn't understand it either.
But Zhang Lin had already made up his mind.
His decision to directly lead his men into a fight with Niu Chuan was a last resort, but it was the only way he could do it for his own safety.
He was confident of winning, but he couldn't guarantee the safety of his men.
In a major battle, it's possible that half the troops could be killed.
This is going to be a tough battle, given the significant disparity in numbers.
But at this moment, Zhang Lin saw an opportunity.
As the saying goes, to shoot a man, first shoot his horse; to capture a thief, first capture his king.
With Niu Chuan as such a large target, standing at the forefront, if we simply kill or capture him, the enemy will lose their command, and then if the battle breaks out again, wouldn't we be able to win easily?
So Zhang Lin looked at Niu Chuan, calculating the distance in his mind.
The two are now only a few hundred meters apart, and they are rapidly closing in.
His [Pioneer] ability allows him to teleport directly to a location within 500 meters. In other words, if he gets even slightly closer, he can teleport directly to Ushikawa's location...
Zhang Lin certainly had to seize such a great opportunity.
So, after calculating the distance in his mind, when he felt that he was less than 500 meters away from Ushikawa, he directly activated the [Pioneer] ability.
Meanwhile, Niu Chuan was also keeping a close eye on Zhang Lin.
He is the kind of person who makes thorough preparations before doing anything.
Although he had never met Zhang Lin, he was very familiar with Zhang Lin's appearance.
Seeing Zhang Lin leading the charge, he immediately shouted to the people around him, "That one charging at the front is Zhang Lin, kill Zhang Lin first."
Surprisingly, his thoughts were the same as Zhang Lin's.
If Zhang Lin could be killed directly, the vanguard army would be leaderless, making the following battles much easier.
The key point is that Zhang Lin was at the forefront.
"No wonder you attacked so readily, you're just a reckless fool. What a waste of the city lord's training of you!" Niu Chuan sneered disdainfully.
He had underestimated Zhang Lin before, which is why he deduced that Zhang Lin wouldn't dare to make a move.
But Zhang Lin still made his move.
And they were at the forefront.
These two incidents caused Niu Chuan to completely lose faith in Zhang Lin, and he came to believe that Zhang Lin was just a brainless brute.
However, despite the disdain...
Whether or not Zhang Lin could be killed quickly was still the key to this battle. Niu Chuan kept his eyes fixed on Zhang Lin and continued to deploy his troops, ordering his men to surround and attack Zhang Lin.
But suddenly, Zhang Lin vanished from his sight.
Where did they go?
Niu Chuan was startled and quickly scanned his surroundings for Zhang Lin's figure, but suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head.
Bang!
Niu Chuan's vision went black, and he immediately lost consciousness.
The next second, he felt two crisp "slap" sounds, and a burning pain shot through both cheeks, and he woke up.
At this moment, he was already on the vanguard side.
And Zhang Lin, whom he had been searching for, was right beside him.
"what happens?"
Ushikawa looked completely bewildered.
He even began to wonder if he was dreaming.
They were originally in their own allied forces' positions, but suddenly, they were in the center of the opposite side's positions...
Such an illogical thing seems to only happen in dreams, right?
However, before Niu Chuan could determine whether he was dreaming or in reality, a sudden, sharp pain struck him, causing him to scream in agony.
"Ah—my arm!!"
He turned his head and saw that his right arm had been severed, cut off while he was still alive, and blood was gushing from the wound.
Ushikawa is even more ferocious now.
He was certain this was reality, because it wouldn't hurt this much in his dreams.
But……
You captured me, didn't say a word, didn't make any demands, and suddenly cut off my arm. Why is that?
Niu Chuan looked at Zhang Lin beside him with a mixture of confusion, bewilderment, and grievance.
"Now go and order your men to surrender." Zhang Lin held a Miao sword, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "Otherwise, I'll chop off your head with my next strike."
Niu Chuan was even more confused.
Couldn't you have asked me first? What if I had just surrendered? Would it have been worth cutting off my arm?
After realizing he had been arrested, he initially wanted to stand up for himself, since he didn't dare betray his father-in-law.
But at this point, he no longer considered the consequences of betraying his father-in-law.
They only saw one arm when they came up to me. If I dared to say anything more, the next thing they would do was chop off my head!
He dared not doubt that.
Well... in a sense, Zhang Lin's approach of delivering a fatal blow right from the start was very efficient. Without needing to say anything more, Niu Chuan immediately backed down.
"Please don't kill me! I'll order a surrender!!"
