Under the command of that general, the Qiang soldiers began to push and shove the able-bodied men, retreating into the camp.
Seeing this, Yu Jin also came to Yang Yan's side and said in a deep voice, "Brother Yang, those able-bodied men have all retreated. I think we should send some archers up to shoot and kill those Qiang soldiers?"
"No rush!"
Yang Yan waved his hand: "These Qiang soldiers rely on the fortified walls for defense, and the killing power of their arrows is limited. They are not enough to frighten them!"
Yu Jin frowned: "So, what does Brother Yang mean?"
Yang Yan smiled and said, "These Qiang soldiers have been living in this harsh land since childhood. They are naturally fierce. Although they have suffered oppression, they are just like the grassland people in their bones. They only admire the strong."
Therefore, I think it's best to adopt a stronger stance and intimidate them!
As he spoke, under Yu Jin's shocked gaze, Yang Yan spurred his horse forward and arrived at a place eighty paces away from the Qiang people's camp.
Just as Yang Yan stopped, several arrows whistled out from inside the village.
At this distance, although the Qiang people's arrows could reach him, they could not penetrate his armor, so he was relatively safe.
Seeing the arrow flying towards him, Yang Yan's eyes narrowed, and with a sweep of his spear, he deflected it to the side.
Yang Yan raised his spear, pointed it at the Qiang soldiers in the stronghold, and shouted, "I am Yang Yan, the Commandant of the Dunhuang Camp of the Great Han Dynasty. Who dares to fight me to the death?"
"Hmph, just a little kid, how dare he be so arrogant?"
Looking at Yang Yan's rather youthful face, the Qiang soldier general couldn't help but snort coldly.
Then, the Qiang soldier general looked at a burly man beside him and said, "Go and bring me his head!"
"yes!"
The burly man agreed and immediately had a warhorse brought over.
Soon, the gate of the village opened, and the burly man, holding a long spear, rushed straight towards Yang Yan.
Upon seeing the burly man charging towards him, Yang Yan's eyes narrowed. He leaned forward slightly, raised the tip of his spear, and aimed it at the man's upper body. His warhorse snorted and pawed the ground with its hind legs, seemingly eager to charge forward.
Just as the burly man was about twenty paces away, Yang Yan suddenly spurred his horse, and his warhorse shot towards the burly man like an arrow.
Two fast horses charged toward each other like two shooting stars.
In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two was less than ten steps.
The burly man immediately swung his spear, and with the momentum of the charge and his strong arm strength, the spear shot straight for Yang Yan's chest like a bolt of lightning.
If this spear were to strike, not only would the person on horseback be impaled, but even their warhorse would likely be pinned to the spot.
Facing the thrusting spear, Yang Yan neither dodged nor flinched, maintaining his forward-leaning posture, but his eyes remained fixed on the burly man's throat.
In the burly man's eyes, the young man opposite him must have been frightened by his lightning-fast spear thrust, and a cruel smile crept onto his lips.
Just when the burly man thought he could easily take the other man's life, he suddenly saw the other man move and then disappear from the horse's back.
This change startled him quite a bit, and he was immediately stunned.
In the instant the burly man was stunned, a cold glint flashed from the other side of the opposing warhorse, followed by a long spear appearing right in front of him.
Then, the burly man felt a sharp pain in his throat, and then he fell straight to the ground.
Just as the burly man's spear was about to pierce him, Yang Yan swiftly dodged to the other side of the warhorse. Then, taking advantage of the moment when the man was distracted, he used a move that Zhao Yun had once taught him, "Hidden Dragon Emerges from Cave," to kill the man instantly.
Only after Yang Yan sat back on his horse did the burly man's body fall to the ground.
Everything happened so fast. In the eyes of the Qiang soldiers, it seemed as if their own warrior had just been stabbed with a spear and then fell straight off his horse.
As for how Yang Yan made his move, none of them could see it clearly.
You should know that the strong man, while not the strongest in the camp, was still close to the top five.
The spear in his hand had killed countless enemies.
But today, in the blink of an eye, he died so easily under the enemy's gun.
That's incredible!
The Qiang soldier general also looked on incredulously.
Yang Yan's horsemanship and unpredictable marksmanship truly shocked him.
Yang Yan didn't even glance at the burly man's corpse, but instead raised his spear and pointed it at the Qiang soldiers' camp.
"What? Are you looking down on me? You actually sent out such a good-for-nothing. Don't you have any more powerful ones? Or send out a few more at once, so I can have some fun!"
"That bastard, how dare he look down on us..."
Upon hearing this, the Qiang general snapped out of his shock and his face turned furious.
It's truly humiliating that a mere youth blocked the camp gate and cursed at a valiant warrior of 20,000 men.
The Qiang general then turned to look at another burly man beside him.
"Data, you are the bravest warrior in our camp. Are you confident you can take the enemy general's head?"
"General, rest assured, I can finish him off with just one move!"
Data said confidently that he had seen the battle clearly, even though others hadn't.
In his view, Yang Yan's strength lay in his speed and unpredictability; as long as he was careful, there wouldn't be any major problems.
The Qiang general said with satisfaction, "Good, go! If you can kill the enemy general, you will be richly rewarded!"
"yes!"
Data responded loudly, then picked up a spiked club, mounted his warhorse, and charged out of the camp.
Upon seeing the enemy general emerge, Yang Yan resumed his previous posture, sitting quietly on his horse, ready to launch a fatal attack at any moment.
Seeing this, Data sneered and then sped up his horse to charge forward.
Seeing the enemy general charging towards them, Yang Yan immediately spurred his horse forward to meet him.
"Prepare to die!!"
Just as the two were no more than ten steps apart, Data roared and raised his spiked club, smashing it down at Yang Yan.
Although the spiked club was aimed at Yang Yan, Data's gaze was fixed on the neck of the warhorse beneath Yang Yan.
In his plan, as long as Yang Yan dodged, he would smash the enemy's warhorse to death, and then he would definitely win.
Yang Yan, who had been keeping a close eye on Data, also noticed the other's gaze and suddenly realized what was going on.
Having received instruction from Tong Yuan and sparred with Zhao Yun for many years, Yang Yan had long since mastered all the fighting techniques.
He couldn't hide his little tricks from the other party.
Just as Data raised his spiked club, Yang Yan suddenly flicked his wrist and unleashed a move called "Poison Dragon Emerges from Cave," the tip of his spear curling into a bowl-sized flower of light as it thrust towards Data's chest.
Seeing that his opponent had launched an attack directly, Data was stunned and hurriedly pulled back his baton to block, but unexpectedly the tip of the spear suddenly turned and pierced his chest.
