Lin Qing grabbed Lin Dan's reins tightly and begged, "Sister, please don't fight with him. He is Mo Sang, the son of Mo Li. He is a martial arts expert with supernatural powers and is very difficult to deal with. You are still injured. If something goes wrong, what should I do if I am left alone?" It was not until now that he realized how important this sister was to him. Without his sister, he didn't dare to think about what the future would be like. He alone could not support the precarious Lin family, let alone win the war.
His sister is not only his backbone, but also the backbone of his soldiers.
Li Xian followed and stopped him, saying, "Lin Dan, stay in the formation and don't move. I'll go fight him!"
Lin Dan slowly pried open Lin Qing's hands, and ignored Li Xian's words. Instead, he looked straight at Mo Sang and asked, "Are you Mo Li's son?"
Mo Sang rode out on his horse, his voice hoarse: "Exactly, do you dare to fight me?"
Lin Dan smiled coldly: "Very good, your father reunited my family yesterday, and today I will also reunite your family." As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped out of the crowd, picked up the knife and started chopping.
Mo Sang didn't expect her to be so straightforward. He was stunned for a moment before he went to meet her. The two men rode back and forth, their swords crisscrossing, and every time a sword collided, sparks flashed. Mo Sang was extremely strong, but Lin Dan was no less powerful than him. In a short while, he fought with him for more than a dozen rounds. If Lin Dan had not been injured, not to mention Mo Sang alone, even if there were ten or eight of them, they would not be her match. But she had lost too much blood last night and her body was very weak. As she was fighting, a layer of gray mist suddenly covered her eyes, as if she could not hold on any longer.
Seeing that Mo Sang was coming towards her with a knife, determined to split her in half, she went forward to meet him in order to end the fight quickly.
Mo Sang gritted his teeth and grinned: "You are looking for death!"
Lin Dan suddenly turned sideways, using his shoulder blade to block the knife, taking the opportunity to get closer to Mo Sang, and then turned his wrist and cut off his head directly. The best defense is offense. Even if she loses her memory, the fighting consciousness remaining in her bones can still tell her what to do.
The armor on her shoulders relieved some of the force for her, but Mosan's blade still penetrated deep into her bone, almost cutting off her entire arm. She tore off a piece of her battle robe and quickly wrapped the wound with it, then tightened the reins, let her BMW raise its front hooves, and crushed Mosan's head.
"Is there anyone from the Mo family still in the formation? Come out and fight me!" She was covered in blood and it was obvious that she was seriously injured, but no one on the battlefield dared to underestimate her.
Mo Li, who was hanging in the air, let out a cry of extreme pain. He always liked to play psychological warfare, but when others used the same tricks on him, he realized how cruel and powerless it was. He shouted something in nonsensical language, but no one knew what he was shouting.
The Xiongnu army was in turmoil. After a while, a burly man walked out and said in a deep voice: "I am Mogu. Today I will take your head to avenge my father and brother!" Like the Lin family army, this Xiongnu army was also Mo Li's personal army, and most of the generals in the army were his confidants or nephews.
Lin Dan didn't say a word and rode his horse to meet the attack.
After all, Mo Gu still had a certain sense of luck, thinking that Lin Dan had been seriously injured one after another, and would be exhausted by the time it was his turn, so it would be easier to deal with him. But he was completely wrong. Lin Dan had a brave character in his bones. The more difficult the situation was and the more his life was hanging by a thread, the more courageous he became. These physical pains were really nothing to her. Apart from stimulating her fighting spirit, they had no effect at all.
She had clearly never been on a battlefield, but she seemed to have been through hundreds of battles. She cut off Mogu's spear with a knife, grabbed the tip of the spear, and threw it towards Mogu's heart. The heart-protection mirror blocked the fatal blow for him, but it also made him stiff for a moment. In that moment, a cold light flashed in his blue pupils. It was Lin Dan's blade approaching him, and before he could react, it had already cut off his neck.
Another head rolled to the ground, with the same expression of disbelief and extreme horror on its face. The second member of the Mo family died.
Lin Dan raised the bloody sword and asked slowly, "Who else?"
Mogu's sons and nephews all took a step back. When they retreated, the Xiongnu army also retreated, and it was obvious that they had lost their composure. Lin Dan immediately rode his horse at full speed, rushed into the enemy camp, and shouted, "Kill them!"
She first destroyed the arrogance of the Hun army and wore down their fighting spirit, and when they showed fear, she charged into battle. She had planned every step, and even if Mo Li kept shouting and reminding her, it was all in vain. His psychological warfare was completely exploited by Lin Dan.
This battle completely disrupted the Hun army's plan to break through northern Shaanxi and enter the Central Plains. The Lin family army, which was already in danger, finally got a chance to catch its breath. After dusk, all that remained on the battlefield were corpses and smoke. The Hun army, which had once been large in number and well-equipped, now had less than 50,000 people left, a disastrous defeat.
Li Xian brought a military doctor to the tent and wanted to bandage Lin Dan's wound, but she stopped him outside the door.
"I'm a woman, so it's inconvenient. I can bandage the wound myself. You can just leave the medicine." Lin Dan's tone was very calm, as if the person covered with bruises was not her.
"No, you are already seriously injured and have difficulty moving. What if the wound breaks open again? Wait, I will find a female doctor for you." Li Xian suddenly remembered their last meeting. In addition to helplessness, he also felt the joy of reunion that was coming slowly. Lin Dan is like a lone wolf. He always likes to hide away and lick his wounds alone, as if he doesn't need anyone's care at all.
But he couldn't help wanting to care about her. The impression of her in his mind had changed from a blurry shadow to a more dazzling entity. In order to prevent Lin Dan from getting into any accidents, he did not dare to leave the tent, but sent his men to nearby towns to look for a woman who knew medical skills. Lin Qing didn't dare to go in either. He squatted at the door with his head down, constantly confessing to Lin Dan.
Ding Mujie walked to the door and bowed, "Your Highness, Prince Zhuang, it is now late autumn and gradually entering winter. The food and grass are almost exhausted. Shouldn't you think of a solution? In addition, this Mo Li is the younger brother of Xiongnu Chanyu Mo Xiao. Mo Qi, Mo Tai and others who were killed by Lin Dan are also Mo Xiao's biological sons. Upon learning of the death of these people, Mo Xiao will definitely lead his army to attack. He has a heavy cavalry under his command. With its powerful impact force, flexible coordination force, and superb carrying capacity, it has never been defeated since the day it was formed. Have you thought about how to deal with it? Although this heavy cavalry has less than 70,000 people, it besieged and strangled 500,000 soldiers and horses of the Wei State. In three days, it easily captured the city of Bianliang and stationed in Taiyuan. With the current strength of our army, we are no match for them at all."
Ding Mujie originally didn't want to pour cold water on King Zhuang at this time, but he had to. Although we won this battle, there are still more powerful enemies waiting behind us, so it is far from time to celebrate.
"I understand all of this. I will report the food and fodder issue to my father and ask him to dispatch them. As for Mo Xiao's heavy cavalry, I still need to think of a solution."
As soon as Li Xian finished speaking, Lin Dan said in the tent: "What are you thinking about? When the transfer order from the capital comes down, it will be winter here. The soldiers are almost starving to death. How can they have the strength to fight? The food and grass of the Xiongnu are all looted from the people of our Great Wei Kingdom. We might as well form a cavalry and loot them as well. There are still several remnants of the Xiongnu nearby, and many vagrants have robbed the fields of the people of our Great Wei Kingdom and settled down. We can just fight and run away, it won't be troublesome. Today, since we have killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of Mo Li, we will send people to collect the armor and war horses left on the battlefield, and also build a heavy cavalry. I will be responsible for the training. Time is running out, let's prepare quickly, it is better to take the initiative to attack than to sit and wait for death."
Lin Dan's enterprising spirit immediately dispelled Li Xian's worries, making him laugh cheerfully: "Okay, I'll order people to prepare right away. You take good care of your injuries, and we'll fight side by side in the future."
Ding Mujie quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, Prince Zhuang, I am a humble person, but I am willing to contribute to the army. Although the Xiongnu heavy cavalry is formidable, we can find a way to force them to dismount, and we can also improve our weapons to restrain their heavy armor. If you are willing to trust me, please let me have a word with you."
Li Xian looked at him deeply, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the main account to talk."
Ding Mujie did not show any joy on his face. Instead, he walked to the door and said softly, "Lin Dan, don't worry. Heal your wound first."
"Thank you for your concern." A lukewarm voice came from inside the tent. Ding Mujie felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to stay any longer and left in a hurry with King Zhuang. Lin Qingze stayed at the tent and didn't dare to move. He asked if his sister was okay, made a deep self-examination, and urged the soldiers to find a female doctor. He was very confused.
…………
Lin Dan's injuries healed very quickly. In just half a month, she was back to normal. This not only shocked the military doctor, but also surprised herself. After she recovered from her injury, she selected five thousand elite soldiers to learn sword skills from her. When they had trained well enough, she took them to rob on the grassland.
Her swordsmanship is unique and has great destructive power. It is also very easy to master. Her moves are not fancy, just chopping and stabbing. She swings the sword tens of thousands of times every day. After thirty or forty days, the mental outlook of the entire team has changed a lot.
Lin Dan led this army to wander on the grassland. At sunrise, he attacked the tribe in the east and captured horses. Before sunset, he reached the tribe in the west and seized food and grass. At nightfall, he suddenly arrived in the south and robbed salt and iron. He was so elusive that it was hard to predict. The manors and fields that originally belonged to the people in the Central Plains and were forcibly occupied by the Huns were all looted by them.
Gradually, the nearby Huns became afraid of her and began to migrate deeper into the grassland. What's worse, as long as they heard Lin Dan's name from afar, they would flee. Seeing this, the people of Wei State slowly moved back to their homes and expressed their gratitude to Lin Dan. They took the initiative to donate food and fodder, hoping that the troops would stay for a long time to protect their safety.
However, in just two months, the food and fodder that Lin Dan had snatched back filled up the warehouses and grains, and there were also countless horses and salt and iron available. In this way, Li Xian had the capital to transform weapons and armor, so he recruited craftsmen and started smelting.
Preparations for war were in full swing. At the same time, Mo Xiao's army slowly entered the Hetao area and confronted the Lin family army.
A war is about to break out.
