Looking at the growing number of Ping Shan tribe soldiers around her, Song Liyun smiled and said, "Ping Shan chieftain, you've come all this way to Kara Mountain, enduring wind and rain, why don't you go visit the Wuda tribe?"
Ping Shan heard her clear and melodious voice, and her laughter was like a beautiful flower in May, but he couldn't understand the Wu Dynasty language. He couldn't help but blush and his heart pounded: "Zhang Qishan, what is this young mistress saying?"
Zhang Qishan reluctantly took on the role of translator: "The young mistress invites you to visit the Uda tribe!"
Ping Shan laughed heartily: "With such a beautiful lady inviting me, I am of course willing. But since you're here, please come and sit in my tent first!"
"Zhang Qishan, if you can bring the young mistress, I will reward you handsomely. Release your brothers as well!"
As he spoke, he strode over Zhang Qishan's horse and reached out to grab Song Liyun's arm.
Just as he was about to touch Song Liyun, Song Liyun moved her feet and took two steps back.
Suddenly, a man emerged from beneath Zhang Qishan's horse, leaping between the two and thrusting a dagger into Ping Shan's chest.
Although Ping Shan had never led troops into battle before, he had already seen some of the soldiers' reactions over the past few days.
The dagger had barely touched Ping Shan's robes when he leaned back to dodge, yelling as he reached for the dagger with both hands.
Suddenly, the ropes binding Song Liyun came off, and she kicked Ping Shan in the lower abdomen.
For a moment, Ping Shan not only had to deal with the dagger aimed at his chest, but also had to dodge a kick coming at him.
Caught between a rock and a hard place, Ping Shan could only grip the dagger Wu Dan thrust at him and parry Song Liyun's attack.
The pain, like an electric current, spread throughout his body from below. Ping Shan screamed and involuntarily let go of his groin.
This time, with Song Liyun's help, Wudan stabbed Ping Shan in the chest again.
Ping Shan's chest gushed blood, and he fell backward.
All of this happened so suddenly that it stunned the soldiers of the Ping Shan tribe around them.
When Ping Shan lay on the ground, the stunned tribal soldiers shouted for their leader and rushed over.
Song Liyun and Wu Dan disappeared into the crowd in an instant.
Behind them, the people of the Wuda tribe leaped out of the horse's belly where Wudan was hiding and galloped away. They were only a few feet away, but they still couldn't catch up and rescue the two people immediately.
The leader, Nima, galloped over and with a single stroke of his sword, cleaved Zhang Qishan, who was supposed to be protecting the young mistress, in two from head to toe.
Whoosh!
Spices and blood splattered everywhere, and the Ping Shan tribe soldiers surrounding Song Liyun were the first to be drenched in the blood.
Even the Ping Shan tribe soldiers couldn't bear the bloody scene; they scattered and vomited violently.
Nima rushed to where Song Liyun had just been and saw a "soft cloth" wrapped around the two of them on the ground.
The silvery-white "soft cloth" had been pierced with various bumps and dents by the knife, but there were no holes, firmly protecting the person inside.
"Young Madam!"
With a flick of the soft cloth, Song Liyun stood up from inside, with Wudan protecting her beneath her.
Song Liyun was furious: "Everyone, continue with your usual training and combat! Don't worry about me!"
After being captured alive by Song Liyun on Mount Kara and hung on a tree, Nima admired the young mistress immensely.
Seeing that she had protected herself and Wudan with just a soft cloth, he was even more convinced.
Without hesitation, he told the other Uda soldiers, "Form teams of three and proceed according to plan!"
As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen horses split into groups of three and went to meet the Ping Shan tribe soldiers who had already charged forward.
This is the camp of the Pingshan tribe. In the blink of an eye, the Pingshan soldiers gathered and surrounded the Wuda army.
However, Ping Shan had already been taken away and his fate was unknown, in addition, most of the horses were grazing outside.
Several clansmen who had just been discussing matters now each led a group of people and ran off in a chaotic manner.
Without unified command, they could only rely on infantry to fight against the Uda army on horseback.
The Uda cavalry lost their speed, which greatly diminished their advantage. They could only rely on their high position on horseback to slash and shoot at the Pingshan tribe soldiers below.
Horses neighed and people cried out; the camp was filled with panicked crowds, screams, and bloodshed.
Wu Dan and Song Liyun rode on the chrysanthemum-green horse.
Under Song Liyun's command, Wudan galloped on horseback, quickly throwing torches into the tent.
Wool felt is not easy to catch fire, but these torches are mixed with a lot of grease, so they stick and cannot be extinguished.
The tent was ablaze with smoke, and black smoke billowed into the sky.
Wu Dan shouted excitedly, "Young Madam, can we just wipe out the Ping Shan tribe like this?"
He hadn't expected that his dozen or so men would be able to break into the enemy camp.
He wouldn't be surprised if the young master led the clan's elite troops, but the warriors left in the clan were only second- or even third-class in strength, only enough for patrol and defense tasks, and they wouldn't even dare to think about annihilating other tribes.
Song Liyun waved her torch to knock away an arrow before saying, "It won't be that easy. Even a rabbit needs to kick an eagle to survive. The Ping Shan tribe has more people than us, and they can't just sit and wait to die."
She knew in her heart that she didn't have enough people on her side. To think that she could defeat ten people by force alone was a plot that only existed in male-oriented fantasy novels.
His sole purpose was to burn down the logistics and resources of the Pingshan tribe.
Without tents, hay, and food, they cannot stay here.
It was Zhang Qishan who gave her the opportunity and inspiration to use such a risky method.
How can you catch tiger cubs without entering the tiger's den? To capture the thief, you must first capture the king. If you kill Ping Shan, the clan's army will be leaderless.
He pretended to be captured by Zhang Qishan, and had the short but skilled horseman Wudan hide under the horse's belly to launch a surprise attack on Pingshan.
It now appears that this part has been effective.
The Uda army only had five groups, and each group faced more enemies than themselves.
At this point, Ping Shan soldiers began to mount their horses, and more soldiers started shooting arrows at the Wuda army; it was time to retreat.
Wudan controlled the horse, and Song Liyun took out the bronze arrow, which was given to her by the Broken Gold Guard.
With a whistle, the Wuda Army received the message and began to gather together, preparing to help Song Liyun escape.
But Ping Shan's troops went mad, fearlessly surrounding each squad.
Song Liyun and Wudan rode their horses outwards. The chrysanthemum-green horse was very fast, and with a few leaps, it left far behind the dozen or so Ping Shan soldiers who were chasing after them and trying to capture them.
Standing safely on the perimeter, Song Liyun, who had successfully escaped, frowned as she looked at Wu Dajun, who was still pestering her.
"Young Madam, Uncle Nima and the others haven't come out yet!" Wu Dan said anxiously.
A dozen or so Uda soldiers were trapped inside, and casualties began to appear. Some were hit by arrows and fell from their horses, and several others were wounded.
In the chaos, the formation was also disrupted, and no one was able to take care of anyone else.
Song Liyun did not reply, her gaze fixed on the center of the camp.
Outside the burning tent, people were carrying Ping Shan and running. Amidst the panicked shouts, Song Liyun could still make out a few words.
They are "looking for a medic," Ping Shan is not dead yet!
Song Liyun's eyes darkened. She looked at the Ping Shan soldiers who had caught up with her and were nocking arrows to shoot, and said, "Wu Dan, we don't need to retreat. We should go back to the camp immediately to meet up with Nima and the others. Also, we must kill Ping Shan."
