Seeing that his old enemy was not dead, Mo Xiao's eyes widened as big as bells. He rode his horse backwards and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Lin Dan is not dead! Kill her for me, quickly!"
A group of cavalrymen quickly gathered around to protect the king, but they saw Lin Dan, who was standing on the horse's back, suddenly fell into the herd and disappeared in an instant.
"Where is the person? Where is the person? Where did Lin Dan go? Find her quickly!" Mo Xiao's nerves were stretched to the limit. When Lin Dan appeared, he was frightened, and when she disappeared, he was even more frightened. The Hun army, which had originally had a tight formation, was thrown into chaos because of her.
The two armies faced each other in a narrow valley. A herd of wild horses rushed from the rear of the Huns. If they continued to move forward, they would rush into the camp of the Western Expedition Army and disrupt their formation. Just as the herd of horses was approaching the Western Expedition Army, a loud whistle came from somewhere, causing the wild horses to turn around and gallop among the Five Barbarians Alliance, completely turning them into a mess.
Mo Xiao shouted at the top of his voice: "Wherever the whistle is, Lin Dan is there, go find her! Kill her, I must kill her today!"
How difficult is it to find someone among a herd of galloping horses? The Xiongnu cavalry circled in place, wishing they had a few more pairs of eyes so they could identify where Lin Dan was. She has become the nightmare of all the Huns. Until she is eliminated, the Huns will not dare to set foot in the Central Plains.
The other four Hu had only heard of Lin Dan's name but had never seen how powerful she was, so they looked down on the Xiongnu army that was in disarray. It's already this late, and they are still thinking about killing a woman. Aren't their biggest enemies the inexplicably appearing herd of horses and the Western Expedition Army in front of them?
"Mo Xiao, break out from the right wing, and we will help you to contain the horses!" a Qiang general shouted loudly.
Mo Xiao turned to look at him, his expression changing from nervous to shocked. Lin Dan appeared from behind the Qiang general like a ghost, quickly climbed onto the horse's back, easily cut off his head, and disappeared under the cover of the blood mist.
This man was the leader of the Qiang army. After his death, the Qiang people fell into chaos.
Mo Xiao tightened the reins, forcing his mount to circle quickly on the spot so that he could see all around clearly. His face was full of panic and fear, like a trapped beast on the verge of death.
Suddenly, not far from him, another column of blood shot up into the sky, followed by the Xianbei people's panicked shouts. Their leader was also killed by the elusive Lin Dan. With the cover of the horses, she moved freely among the Five Barbarians' allied forces like a ghost, killing people and leaving without leaving a trace.
As the saying goes, "To capture the enemy, first capture the king; to kill the snake, hit it at its weakest point." When there is a huge disparity in combat power between the enemy and us, the decapitation tactic is undoubtedly the best choice.
Mo Xiao, who finally figured out what Lin Dan was doing, was so scared that his face turned pale. Before he could call back all his personal soldiers to protect himself, the leader of the Di tribe was chopped in half by Lin Dan's sword. Blood spilled onto the man's snow-white mount like a rainstorm, causing the beautiful horse to neigh particularly miserably.
"Come back, come back, surround me, surround me quickly!" Mo Xiao howled like crazy, and stretched out his hand to pull the cavalry closest to him to block in front of him. If he was just afraid of Lin Dan before, now he was completely afraid of her and his courage was almost broken by her.
The Western Expedition Army, which had originally thought that the wild horses would continue to gallop and disperse their own camp, was shocked to find that these horses seemed to be sent by God to help them. They only circled in the Five Barbarians Alliance, trampled back and forth, and would not move forward at all. This situation was very unreasonable and made Li Xian suspicious. He was about to rush into the enemy camp to investigate, but he saw a familiar figure appear in the herd of horses, quickly cut off the head of a Hu general, and then disappeared without a trace.
"It's Lin Dan, she's still alive!" Li Xian looked in that direction in disbelief. It was clearly a cruel scene of blood rushing into the sky, but in his eyes it was like a firework exploding.
"Yes, General, it's really her!" The five thousand heavy cavalry charging to his left and right also showed ecstatic expressions. Their listless state was instantly swept away, and they became full of fighting spirit.
"The general is deep in the enemy camp, kill, charge in and join the general!" Five thousand heavy cavalry swung their swords and quickly cut a bloody path, directly tearing the Five Barbarians' coalition army into two halves. The light cavalry following closely behind were killing the enemies and shouting loudly, more excited than if they had taken Wu Shi San.
"The general is not dead, the general is still alive!"
"The general killed the leaders of the Xianbei, Qiang, and Di tribes. The general is brave!"
"Go, go meet the general!"
The passionate shouts were passed down layer by layer, first from the 5,000 heavy cavalry in the front, then from the tens of thousands of light cavalry, and then from the hundreds of thousands of infantry. Their dejected faces were instantly filled with murderous intent, and an excited light shone from their dark eyes. As long as Lin Dan is there, their backbone is there, and their passion and fighting spirit will not be extinguished. What's more, Lin Dan alone killed three Hu leaders and caused the Five Hu Allied Forces to be in complete chaos. Such a brilliant record is enough to make everyone quickly establish the belief that they will win.
If you look down from a high altitude, you can see that the Western Expedition Army, which had not been very aggressive, suddenly became like a sharp sword. The three armies tore through the camp of the Five Barbarians Alliance from three directions and devoured them completely. The 5,000 heavy cavalry charging in the front were like a sickle. Wherever they passed, blood and flesh flew everywhere and heads rolled. Their fighting power was extremely amazing.
And such a change happened only because of the arrival of one person.
Mo Xiao had to look for Lin Dan and deal with the energized Western Expedition Army, so he suddenly felt a little flustered. Seeing that three of the four tribes leaders had died in an instant and the remaining one was so frightened that he clamored to withdraw his troops, he actually began to think of retreating.
As soon as he uttered the word "retreat", he caught a glimpse of a ghostly figure emerging from behind him, and he quickly raised his shield to block it.
With a loud "clang", the blade hit the shield, sparking a spark. After Lin Dan missed her attack, she immediately hid herself without any desire to fight. Mo Xiao didn't even have time to see her face clearly. He only saw a hint of cold murderous intent in her deep eyes.
Mo Xiao was unable to recover for a long time. He waited until his personal soldiers came to ask him about it before he threw away the shield that was cut in two. He shook his numb left arm, and his whole body felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he felt cold all over. He finally realized that Lin Danyuan charging on the battlefield was not the most terrifying thing. What was more terrifying was her fighting alone. If you provoke her, she can crush you with thousands of troops, or she can follow you like a shadow and take your life. It takes a lot of courage to be her enemy.
While Mo Xiao was trying hard to suppress his fear, the head of the Jie leader disappeared. The Jie cavalry, who were covered in blood, had no time to scream before they were chopped into meat paste by the 5,000 heavy cavalry that attacked them. These Wei soldiers who were originally listless are now as fierce as wolves and tigers, full of murderous intent, because their commander has returned, and this commander is invincible and unstoppable!
Mo Xiao could no longer suppress his fear and shouted, "Withdraw, withdraw immediately!"
The Five Barbarians' Allied Forces began to retreat in panic, but it was too late. Lin Dan appeared out of nowhere, snatched the horse of a Xiongnu heavy cavalryman, and joined the 5,000 heavy cavalrymen who came to meet her. The Western Expedition Army's already high morale seemed to condense into a entity and burn into a flame at this moment.
Mo Xiao looked back and inevitably quickened his pace. He was chased by the herd of wild horses and the Western Expedition Army for hundreds of miles before he finally broke free of the encirclement and fled into the deepest part of the grassland. The armies of the other four tribes were defeated and threw away their weapons and armor, kneeling down in surrender, no longer having their previous arrogance.
This war, which was supposed to be a foregone conclusion, ended with a great victory for the Wei State. Not only could the garrisons in various places who received the battle reports not believe it, even the Western Expedition Army itself could not believe it. Holding blood-stained swords, they sat on their horses in a daze, their eyes swept across the grasslands littered with body parts, and asked hoarsely, "Where is General Lin?"
"Where is General Lin? I just saw her!"
"We are not mistaken, General Lin is indeed back, right?"
"You're right, I was following the general and killing the enemy!"
Victory is far less important to them than General Lin's survival. During the war, they heard the news that General Lin had returned. Most of them had not seen it in person and did not dare to think too much about it, so they just accepted it naturally. They longed for her to be alive, even if only by deception.
"I'm here." Lin Dan rode over on horseback, holding a blood-stained sword. The setting sun shone on her, as if she had been coated with a layer of golden light.
The soldiers were stunned for a long time before they all dismounted from their horses and half-knelt in salute: "Your subordinates pay their respects to the general!" Before they finished speaking, many people were already crying with excitement.
"The general is still alive! The general is really alive!" They stood up and shouted, took off their helmets and threw them into the sky, excited like children. A few more people wanted to rush over and lift Lin Dan up, but were beaten away by Li Xiansan's punches and kicks.
"Lin Dan?" Li Xian looked at the other person straight.
Lin Dan wiped the blood off her face and agreed with a smile.
Only then did Li Xian confirm that she was alive. He rushed forward regardless of everything and hugged her tightly in his arms.
Lin Dan hugged him back, patted his stiff back, then climbed onto his horse and said in high spirits: "The right army will stay to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of the army will follow me back to the camp!"
"Yes, General!" All the troops responded in unison, with a thunderous voice. The flocks of vultures circling in the sky waiting to peck at the corpses were scared away by them, and only a few feathers fell down.
In the camp, a soldier hurried into the big tent and shouted breathlessly: "Master Military Advisor, General Lin Dan is back, our army has won!"
Ding Mujie, who had already made up his mind to die, suddenly opened his eyes with an expression of disbelief, which was then replaced by ecstasy. Compared with the victory of the Western Expedition, he obviously cared more about Lin Dan. This country has already made him frustrated twice, so what is there to worry about? As long as Lin Dan is alive... As long as she is alive, there is hope.
