Volume 1, Chapter 49: Escape
At this moment, they no longer cared about the identities of Jiang Yue and others. So what if they were envoys of the Great Sun Dynasty? Killing their people was an irreconcilable feud, and this hatred must be avenged now.
The head of the Sand Barbarian tribe, Ya Yuan, also had a livid face at this time, and was obviously very angry.
That Wu Ma Kuang was a capable general under his command, with extraordinary skills and unparalleled bravery. He had originally planned to let him be the vanguard in this battle, but he did not expect that he would be killed before the battle even started!
Wu Ma Kuang's death was a major blow to Ya Yuan. Ya Yuan was furious and ordered loudly, "Kill all the people from the Great Sun Dynasty. Cut them into pieces and leave no one alive!"
As soon as the order was given, the four palace maids and eunuchs were chopped into pieces by the Sand Barbarian warriors. They begged for mercy before they died, but no one could save them.
Many Shaman warriors tried to grab Zhao Pan. Zhao Pan was so frightened that he quickly dodged and shouted, "Chief, you don't keep your integrity. Don't expect anyone to spare your life on the battlefield in the future!"
Jiang Yue ran over with a spear in hand, knocked down several Sand Barbarian warriors with one spear and said, "Zhao Yushi, follow me closely, I will lead you to fight together!"
Zhao Pan made up his mind after hearing this and shouted, "General Jiang, I am here to hold them back. I am just a scholar and I will die with no regrets. You are a man of great talent and must not be left here. Go!"
Jiang Yue's face darkened when he heard this and he stopped talking. He really didn't have time to argue with Zhao Pan. He just kept waving his spear, preventing these Sand Barbarian warriors from getting close to him.
But this was not a long-term solution, so Jiang Yue fixed his eyes on the desert wolf closest to him.
If you are in the army of the Sand Barbarians and want to escape with one person, it is absolutely impossible without a mount.
His warhorse had been split in half not long ago, so the best target now would be to choose the desert wolf, which was known for its speed and ferocity, as his mount.
"Imperial Censor Zhao, follow me closely!" Jiang Yue walked away without any hesitation, and pounced directly on the nearest desert wolf.
Jiang Yue suddenly threw the spear in his hand towards the Sand Barbarian warrior on the desert wolf. The warrior did not react in time and was instantly pierced by the spear, and fell off the back of the desert wolf.
Seeing such a good opportunity, Jiang Yue jumped up and rode directly on the back of the desert wolf. He clamped his legs together and tried to control the desert wolf like a horse.
However, this wolf was extremely ferocious and did not want to be ridden by Jiang Yue. It struggled violently for several times, but found that it could not get rid of Jiang Yue, so it lay on the ground motionless, and constantly bared its teeth to show its anger and unyielding spirit.
In such a short while, Jiang Yue rode on it and carefully dodged four or five attacks. Seeing that the desert wolf was still unwilling to move, Jiang Yue became a little anxious. He swung his sandbag-sized fist and smashed it on the head of the desert wolf.
"Evil beast, if you don't move, don't blame me for smashing you to death!"
I don’t know if it was because Jiang Yue’s voice was too vicious or the force of his fist was too heavy, but after being hit on the head four or five times, the desert wolf growled and ran away quickly.
Jiang Yue, who was riding on it, sneered: "You have some good sense!"
Then Jiang Yue saw that Zhao Pan, who was not far away, was injured and was about to be overwhelmed by the people of the Sand Barbarian Tribe, so he hurriedly rode the Desert Wolf to charge forward. On the way, he passed by the spear and Jiang Yue grabbed it in his hand.
With a mount, his speed increased, and the force and lethality of his spear became stronger. He stabbed three Sand Barbarian warriors to death along the way.
He came to where Zhao Pan was and swept his spear across, creating an open space. At this time, Zhao Pan was holding a long sword, waving it in panic, slashing and killing indiscriminately, without any method and with extremely weak strength.
There was a bloody wound less than two centimeters in size on his shoulder and thigh, which was still oozing blood.
Jiang Yue frowned when he saw this. Zhao Pan definitely couldn't hold on for too long in this state. If he lost too much blood, his life would be in danger, and he wouldn't be able to be saved!
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue became ruthless and with a thrust of his spear, he lifted Zhao Pan up into the air. Then he dropped him horizontally in front of him, lying on the back of the desert wolf.
Jiang Yue ignored Zhao Pan's panic and stabbed the desert wolf under his crotch with his spear. The desert wolf immediately howled a few times and rushed out of the military camp at full speed.
As the desert wolf charged forward, Jiang Yue cleared a path for it, knocking down many surrounding Sand Barbarian warriors along the way.
Although these people were all tall and strong, their bodies could not resist the power of Jiang Yue's spear. One shot either tore their skin apart or left a big bloody hole.
Just like that, one man, one wolf and a burden fought their way out of the vast army, and they were about to break out of the Sand Barbarian camp!
Seeing that something was not right, Ya Yuan immediately ordered, "Do you have pig brains? Shoot with bows and arrows!"
The archers of the Sand Barbarians rode on their desert wolves and chased after them. Ya Yuan also had a gloomy face. He rode on his own desert wolf, picked up a strong bow and chased after them as well!
If Jiang Yue's men were allowed to escape this time, it would be a huge joke. Their morale would definitely drop when they fight against the army of the Great Sun Dynasty in the future.
Along the way, Ya Yuan also loudly ordered: "All troops attack, target Mocheng!"
The horn for dispatching troops sounded, and all the soldiers of the Sand Barbarian Tribe were mobilized. At this moment, Jiang Yue waved his spear to shoot down several flying arrows, and finally rushed out of the barracks, running wildly towards the direction of Mocheng without slowing down.
When he turned around and looked behind him, he saw a large number of Sand Barbarian troops chasing after him. They were so dense that there was no end in sight.
Jiang Yue's scalp tingled when he saw this scene, and he thought to himself, "This is going to be a big disaster!"
"Where are you going!" At this moment, Ya Yuan caught up, drew his bow and arrow, aimed at Jiang Yue, and shot an arrow instantly!
The speed of this arrow was faster than the previous ones, and the force on it was obviously not on the same level as the others. Jiang Yue did not dare to be careless. He stared at the arrow, watching it getting closer and closer to him!
"Now!" Jiang Yue seized the opportunity and fired his gun suddenly. Sure enough, the arrow was knocked away by one shot.
But the next moment, Jiang Yue's whole body trembled, and he felt his arms go numb. When he looked again, he found that the knuckles of his hands were cracked, and blood flowed out of his hands, staining the spear red.
This is caused by the force from the arrow just now!
Jiang Yue was secretly shocked: "How is it possible? How could such power appear in a human being?"
At this moment, Jiang Yue's scalp was tingling and his mind was in a mess. The leader of the Sand Barbarian Tribe was definitely not an ordinary person. This trip might be very dangerous!
Jiang Yue did not dare to underestimate the enemy, and quickly stabbed the desert wolf under his crotch with the tip of his gun, allowing it to reach its maximum speed. As long as it could reach the vicinity of Mo City, it would be safe.
Ya Yuan was a little surprised that the arrow failed. He knew his own strength very well. Even a full-grown wilderness elephant could not withstand a full-strength arrow. He did not expect that this young guy could block it so easily. He was indeed extraordinary!
"If you can block one arrow, can you block ten or a hundred arrows?"
Ya Yuan sneered, silently took out a sharp arrow, drew the bow and aimed at Jiang Yue!
"die!"
In Mo City, everyone in the city felt a palpitation in their hearts, and no one knew where it came from.
Some experienced soldiers frowned, then immediately lay on the ground, put their ears close to the ground, and listened.
Not long after, his face suddenly changed, and he immediately stood up and shouted: "Oh no, the Sand Barbarians are coming!"
On the city wall, Qin Su, wearing a blood-red battle cloak and red-gold chain mail, stood up instantly, looked to the north, frowning.
She was an excellent archer with extraordinary eyesight. She saw in the distance, smoke and dust billowing, and a small black dot slowly moving towards this side.
Behind the black spot was a massive army, the army of the Sand Barbarians!
Qin Su quickly gave the order: "All troops on alert, Mo City enters the first level combat readiness state, the first, second and third battalions of the Lieyang Army, follow this Marshal out of the city to meet the enemy!"
Jiang Yue was running for his life with disheveled hair, messy clothes, and blood all over his body. The blood scabs on his hands solidified and cracked countless times, but he never dropped the spear in his hand!
The journey was too bumpy, and coupled with the injuries on his body, Zhao Pan had already fainted. There were already five bloody holes on the butt of the desert wolf under his crotch, and now its speed began to slow down, and it was obvious that it could not hold on any longer.
Behind them was a large number of Sand Barbarian troops, led by Ya Yuan, who were chasing them very closely.
Ya Yuan's face was extremely gloomy. He had shot hundreds of arrows continuously along the way, and even his quiver was empty, but not a single arrow hit Jiang Yue.
Either they were bounced away by the spear or they were dodged, which made Ya Yuan very angry!
He discovered that Jiang Yue was an indestructible cockroach who could always survive. If such a powerful warrior were allowed to successfully return to the Great Sun Dynasty alive, it would be like a sharp blade stabbed into the chest of the Sand Barbarians, extremely fatal.
But no matter how much he hated him, Ya Yuan had no way to deal with Jiang Yue at this moment and could only chase him with all his strength.
At this time, Ya Yuan actually began to feel a little regretful deep in his heart. A young general was so powerful. The Great Sun Dynasty did not seem as weak as he had imagined. He did not know whether it was a blessing or a curse for him to openly go to war with the Great Sun Dynasty this time.
At this moment, Qin Su led hundreds of thousands of Lieyang troops to attack. Jiang Yue was sharp-eyed and saw Qin Su in front of the army. He immediately used all his strength and shouted loudly: "Marshal, save me!"
Qin Su was also stunned. She didn't expect that the man in front of her who looked so miserable would be Jiang Yue. When she saw this man riding a desert wolf, she thought he was a member of the Sand Barbarian Tribe.
Qin Su immediately knew that the Sand Barbarians might have turned against her, so she took out the Dragon Tendon Hundred Refined Bow, drew the bow and arrow, aimed at Ya Yuan who was closest to Jiang Yue, and shouted, "General Jiang, just go ahead. Leave this to me, Marshal!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he shot an arrow. Ya Yuan, who was chasing him, suddenly had his hair stand on end and immediately ducked. At the same time, a sharp arrow passed by his ear like lightning!
But it was too late to hide. Ya Yuan felt a sharp pain in his right ear. He reached out to touch it and found his hand covered in blood. It was obvious that his right ear was scratched by the sharp arrow!
This frightened Ya Yuan so much that he immediately stopped moving, waved his hand and shouted, "Stop! All troops stay where they are!"
At the same time, Qin Su gave an order: "Archers, get ready, shoot!"
Fifty thousand archers shot arrows into the sky at the same time, forming an arrow net in an instant. When it fell, it just separated the pursuing army of the Sand Barbarians from Jiang Yue's figure.
