Mo Li laughed more and more wildly, and whipped Lin Tie several times, which seemed to hit the spine of Lin's army, making them lower their heads one by one and feel despair. But Lin Tie was more desperate than them. These people were his comrades and his relatives. He ate and lived with them, and they were his close friends. He even said that he would bring them back safely. But now, because he is under the control of others, these comrades have restrained their bloodiness, and are ready to be killed, falling into the abyss of powerlessness to struggle. He can almost foresee that after this battle, there will be no more Lin's army in the world, and all the familiar faces before him will be burned in the flames of war.
How could he deserve so many people to be buried with him? If his teeth had not been smashed by Mo Li, he would have bitten his tongue and committed suicide immediately. His gaze swept across the faces of his comrades, and two lines of blood and tears slowly flowed from his dry eyes. Finally, he saw Lin Dan, and his eyes lit up slightly.
Everyone else was forced back several feet by the shouts of the Hun army, but she was the only one who still stood in the front row, not retreating even a single step. She didn't avoid his gaze at all, staring straight into his eyes as if to confirm his feelings.
Lin Tie immediately shouted, “Lin Dan, hurry up and give your father a quick death!”
Lin Dan rode forward but did not raise his bow. She was calculating the distance between the two places to see if she would have time to rescue Lin Tie when she charged into the enemy camp. But unfortunately, he was too far away from her, and there were thousands of troops blocking her way. No matter how powerful her martial arts skills were, it was impossible for her to reach him instantly and save him. No, she could have done it, but because of her subconscious concerns, she was unable to practice her martial arts to perfection.
It was obviously too late to practice now. She was unwilling to admit it, but had to admit that she could not save Lin Tie at all now.
In the dark, a voice told Lin Tie that this daughter might be the only hope of the Lin family army, so he kept shouting: "Lin Dan, if you are still my good daughter, please help me! Do you remember the poem I taught you when you were a child, and do you remember the words that your grandfather always said?"
Lin Dan touched the bow and arrow on her back and said word by word: "I remember, the military song should sing about the big sword ring, vowing to destroy the Hu slaves and get out of Yuguan. We are willing to die for our country on the battlefield, why should we return home wrapped in horsehide. We in the Lin family would rather die standing than live on our knees! Father, I remember it all!" As soon as she finished speaking, she raised the bow and arrow and shot.
As the arrow sounded, it arrived. Lin Tie lowered his head to look at his bloody chest, then he raised his head and laughed. At last, he said intermittently: "As a father, I have fought and won countless battles, but none of them made me as happy as today! Lin Dan, you are the backbone of my Lin family, and the pride of me, Lin Tie! You only know how to die for your country on the battlefield, why should you return home wrapped in your horse's hide! Your father's death was a worthy one, it was a great and happy one, don't blame yourself..." After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and fell silent.
After just a few words, Lin Dan's eyes had turned red, but Mo Li and his soldiers had not yet recovered. Aren’t they saying that people in the Central Plains are spineless? Isn’t it said that people in the Central Plains value filial piety the most and would never dare to kill their fathers? How could this person do this?
However, Lin Dan did not give them time to react. He raised his knife and rushed into the enemy camp, slashing straight at Mo Li. Li Xian immediately shouted: "Kill, avenge General Lin!" Looking at Lin Dan's figure surrounded by people, he was shocked. If General Lin had been hung on the rack and endured humiliation from the Huns, the backbone of the Lin family army would have been broken. They didn't even need to fight this war because they were already defeated psychologically.
But Lin Dan's determination awakened the bloodiness buried in everyone's bones. General Lin's sacrifice further aroused their anger and fighting spirit, and this war had a chance to turn defeat into victory. Li Xian drew his sword and rushed into the enemy camp, trying to catch up with Lin Dan, but she left him further and further behind.
She was an expert swordsman and martial artist. Any enemy who approached her would be beheaded by her before he could even get close enough to her. She didn't even look at anyone else, just stared at Mo Li with her pair of red eyes. Blood mist splattered wherever she passed, and her momentum was unstoppable.
For the first time in his life, Mo Li felt a little fear in his heart, but he did not avoid it. Instead, he went straight towards it. He is the commander-in-chief of the army and cannot retreat in the face of battle. If he cannot win, his personal soldiers will naturally come to rescue him. Could it be that his millions of troops are afraid of a little girl like her?
It was a pity that he underestimated Lin Dan's martial arts and was almost beheaded by Lin Dan after just one round. Fortunately, he leaned back and narrowly avoided the fatal blow, but his skin was numbed by the fierce sword energy. But his horse was not so lucky. A line of blood shot up into the sky. The horse's head, which was held high just now, was now cut off cleanly. The four hooves rushed forward a few steps, and then suddenly lay down.
Mo Li fell to the ground, and before he could get up, Lin Dan knocked him unconscious with a palm and then kidnapped him on the horse.
Lin Dan carried Mo Li on her back and rushed out of the encirclement. The Huns who tried to rescue their commander surrounded her desperately, but they were all killed by her. She turned into a bloody person, with thick blood covering her body and dripping down, and she looked extremely scary. Gradually, all the Huns who surrounded her retreated, with fear in their eyes.
But she was unwilling to let them go, and chased after them with a big knife. Wherever she killed, the formation there became a mess. In a twinkling, the ground was covered with a thick layer of corpses, like an autumn sickle harvesting wheat ears, or like the god of death nooseing the wronged souls. Her methods were ruthless and cruel.
There were many Wei soldiers who were as bloodthirsty as Lin Dan. Their hearts were filled with hatred and they only wanted to take the heads of the Huns to commemorate their comrades and comfort their heroic spirits. They had no intention of retreating at all. The battle lasted from sunrise to sunset. When the Lin family army came to their senses, the Hun army had already retreated in panic, leaving only debris on the ground.
Everyone looked at each other, tears welling up in their eyes.
Ding Mujie, who was standing on the high ground, looked very surprised. The distance was too far, so he couldn't see the specific situation on the battlefield, but he could see a small dot rushing towards the Hun army first, and actually broke through the Hun's cavalry with his own strength and broke into the encirclement. After her, the army of the Great Wei Kingdom began to charge. The left and right armies were divided into two wings to disperse the Hun cavalry, and then they divided and encircled and suppressed them, breaking them up into small pieces.
Wherever that little dot went, the Hun soldiers fell down. It was invincible. Ding Mujie was so shocked that he was speechless. He stared at the small dot, not daring to look away. It was not until the Hun army was defeated, leaving only a field of smoke, and the small dot slowly returned to the Wei army, that he breathed a sigh of relief. Victory! In this war that was bound to be lost, the Wei Kingdom actually won in the end! The ending that he couldn't rewrite was easily rewritten by someone. Who is she? Is she Lin Dan?
Ding Mujie mounted his horse and ran back to the camp quickly. Before he got close to Lin Dan's tent, he kept hearing people around him describing the battle in amazement. The invincible person was indeed Lin Dan! So he gradually slowed down his pace, shaking his head and laughing as he walked, his laughter full of sadness and self-mockery. In her previous life, when Lin Dan was locked in the backyard by him and unable to go to the battlefield to avenge her family, what did she think? She was fully capable of deciding the outcome of a war, but was delayed by a selfish man. He insulted her personality, ignored her abilities, and finally deprived her of her freedom. He is absolutely unforgivable! If he could let go and let her go, perhaps they could have had a different ending in their last life, not just this one!
The more he thought about it, the more ashamed Ding Mujie felt. He didn't dare to take another step closer to the tent. He was afraid to face Lin Dan, but the noise in the tent made him put aside all distractions and walked in quickly.
Lin Qing grabbed Lin Dan's collar fiercely and asked sternly, "How could you kill my father? How could you have the heart to do that? You are such a powerful martial artist, you could have rushed into the encirclement to save him, why did you shoot him with an arrow? You are so cruel! Are you still human?"
All the generals in the army surrounded him and tried to comfort him, their eyes were red, obviously they had been crying.
Lin Dan said nothing, slowly pried open Lin Qing's fingers, walked out of the tent, and went to the martial arts field filled with corpses and coffins. The soldiers standing guard quickly stepped aside to allow her to pass unhindered. She walked to the front, looked quietly at the rows of dark coffins, then knelt down without saying a word. These coffins contain members of the Lin family and fallen soldiers.
Lin Qing chased after him, and yelled with tears in his eyes: "You, the murderer of my father, you have no right to kneel here! Get out of here!"
Li Xian couldn't listen any longer, punched Lin Qing in the face, and cursed angrily: "Do you think it's easy to break into the siege and rescue General Lin? Lin Dan is a human, not a god, she doesn't have wings! Why did General Lin ask for death? Because he wanted to sacrifice himself to save everyone. If he didn't die, everyone would lose their fighting spirit. Without fighting spirit, everyone here would die, and the border we guard and the country we defend would be trampled by the Huns' cavalry. As General Lin said, he died a worthy death, it was magnificent and happy, he didn't regret it! If it weren't for General Lin's sacrifice and your sister's decisiveness, would you still be standing here and scolding her? You owe your sister a life, I owe her a life, and all of us who are alive owe her a life!"
Li Xian choked up and said, "This arrow should have been shot by you or me, but neither of us can bear this responsibility. We have all disappointed General Lin! Only Lin Dan stood up and completed the mission we should have completed. General Lin was right, we are all fucking spineless! The bodies of your father, your grandfather, your brother, uncle, and uncle are all here, and their heroic spirits are watching from heaven. Ask them if they have ever blamed Lin Dan!"
Lin Qing recalled his father's last words before he died. He said he was happier than if he had won a battle because the Lin family had a new backbone. There is no doubt that this backbone does not refer to Lin Qing, but to Lin Dan. He never blamed Lin Dan at all. On the contrary, he was proud of her. The crime of patricide should have been borne by the youngest son, but because Lin Qing was timid, the crime fell on Lin Dan.
Why should he blame Lin Dan? Is it just because of his own incompetence? After calming down, Lin Qing gradually showed regret.
At this moment, Lin Dan pulled out a dagger from his boots, stabbed himself in the abdomen without hesitation, and said slowly: "Can I use my blood to cleanse the sin of patricide? If I don't die today, I will definitely crush the Huns in the future. I ask all the soldiers and heroes in the sky to be my witnesses." After he finished speaking, he stabbed twice more fiercely.
