Chapter 18 Flying Against the Wind
If this relationship can't be changed, then try to change it, make the sheep learn to run, to bite, to fight,
Let it learn to howl at the moon on the hillside,
Let it think that fodder is the most disgusting thing in the world,
Make this sheep more like a wolf than a real wolf!
The two barbarian cavalrymen who had slaughtered their way here were already dead; their luck was indeed not good. The camp was in chaos, with deserters everywhere, yet they happened to run into this spot.
There were indeed only three civilian laborers here, but these three were like the "whale" players of the civilian laborer team (those who spend a lot of money in a free-to-play game);
Xue San skillfully used his dagger to cut off the two heads. He then looked at Zheng Fan, whose face was covered in blood, smiled, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and handed it to Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan took the handkerchief and vigorously wiped his face. Actually, it would have been better not to wipe, because as soon as he wiped, the pungent smell of blood immediately filled the air, rushing into his mouth and nose like crazy.
His stomach immediately churned, but Zheng Fan forcibly restrained himself from vomiting.
In this environment, if he were to bend over and vomit, it would feel rather anticlimactic.
Although he knew he was a bit "useless," Zheng Fan was trying his best to present himself well in front of his subordinates.
"My lord, it's inevitable that you'll feel uncomfortable the first time you kill someone, but once you get used to it, you'll be able to experience the pleasure in it. It's truly intoxicating.
Come, my lord, have a sip of wine."
Zheng Fan took the wine skin but didn't drink it. Instead, he poured it on his face.
"Hoo…………"
He breathed heavily a few times, feeling much better.
"Alright, I'm fine now."
Zheng Fan picked up his knife again.
Xue San moved the corpse off the carriage board. He hadn't paid attention when he was cutting off the heads, but when he moved the corpse and saw the wound on it, he suddenly stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.
The force of this strike was a bit terrifying.
Xue San wanted to ask Liang Cheng, but at that moment, the battle situation in the camp suddenly changed again.
The nearly two thousand barbarian cavalrymen who had infiltrated with the help of the infiltrators had easily broken through the camp gate and wreaked havoc on the camp, but at this moment, a burst of rapid hoofbeats suddenly came from the periphery.
"Tiger!"
"Tiger!"
"Tiger!"
The barbarian cavalrymen, who were already in a chaotic slaughter within the camp, instinctively sensed an ominous atmosphere, and this atmosphere reached its peak when someone discovered that many of the grain sacks were filled with stones.
Meanwhile, the Yan cavalry legions, which had arrived in time and completed a double envelopment, didn't give them much time to reorganize or think.
Charge!
Begin!
The Yan Kingdom was founded on military strength.
Among the four great nations, the Yan Kingdom was the most impoverished and had the worst geopolitical situation. It could be said that since its founding, the Yan Kingdom had basically been single-handedly resisting the entire desert barbarian race!
It was precisely for this reason that, regional troops aside, the true field elites, the true cavalry legions, even after a hundred years of peace, still flowed with the blood and courage of their ancestors!
Even if the two sides engaged in a face-to-face cavalry charge on the plains, the Yan cavalry legions would still dare to fight and win. Their equipment and discipline were indeed unmatched by the barbarian cavalry.
Moreover, at the moment, the two thousand or so barbarian cavalrymen had already been indulging and running wild in the camp, their formations long since broken, with no distance to prepare for a charge and no organized formations.
When facing the onslaught of truly elite cavalry,
The ending,
Was already sealed.
From the front and rear, the two Yan cavalry forces were like two sharp iron drills, directly piercing through the barbarian cavalry within the camp. This corresponding impact had already defeated the barbarian cavalry. What remained was for detachments to encircle and kill them!
Zheng Fan and his group encountered two more barbarian cavalrymen who stumbled over in a panic, but this time Liang Cheng didn't capture them to give Zheng Fan a chance to practice his courage. He and Xue San each took one down directly.
Immediately afterward, they saw a group of Yan cavalrymen in black armor sweeping past not far in front of them, but they didn't notice Zheng Fan's group of three; instead, they pursued the group of barbarian cavalry ahead.
Liang Cheng took a few steps back and leaned against the carriage board.
Xue San smacked his lips and sighed, "Who's the general? He's really ruthless, using the lives of the civilian laborers as bait to lure the enemy in and then catch them in a trap."
"It's too difficult to annihilate an entire cavalry force," Liang Cheng said in defense of the Yan general. "In addition, the barbarians are probably tribal-based, with basically no cities. To wipe out a tribe, you have to wipe out all the young and strong members, otherwise they can completely relocate…"
Just then, Xue San, who had just taken a break, suddenly jumped up. Zheng Fan only felt a darkness before his eyes as Xue San tackled him to the ground.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
An arrow sped past the spot where Zheng Fan had been standing, piercing through the other side of the carriage board.
Liang Cheng immediately jumped over the carriage board with his knife in hand and rushed toward that direction, where a barbarian wearing armor and nearly two meters tall was wielding a knife to meet him.
"Clang! Clang!"
The two long knives clashed in the air twice, sparks flying.
However, because of the difference in the quality of the knives, or rather, because the other party was probably holding a treasure blade, Liang Cheng's knife broke directly on the third clash, and Liang Cheng himself was forced back two steps by the force.
Although the barbarian giant still had his knife, he himself stumbled back four steps, almost falling.
"Don't worry about me, go help! I'll hide myself!"
Zheng Fan pushed Xue San, who had been crouching beside him to guard him after tackling him, and then, without saying a word, he rolled to the left twice, directly rolling under the carriage board.
At this time, yelling "Don't worry about me, let's go up and fight together!" would be foolish.
Because Zheng Fan knew his own limitations. If he continued to act tough or act like in a romance drama, showing a kind of unwavering loyalty, then he would really be dragging them down.
And if he stood in the open, he would distract the other two. It would be better for him to be straightforward and admit his weakness and hide first.
Most importantly, just now, when Liang Cheng and the barbarian giant clashed blades, he saw a gray light flashing on the barbarian giant's body several times!
Martial artists in this world are divided into nine ranks. Zheng Fan didn't know the specific details, but he understood one thing: those who glow are not to be trifled with.
"Hehehehehehe."
Xue San let out a sinister laugh and imitated Zheng Fan's actions, rolling, but he rolled in the opposite direction from Zheng Fan.
Liang Cheng threw the broken knife in his hand to the ground, placed his hands on either side of his body, bent slightly at the waist, tilted his whole body slightly forward, but kept his eyes fixed on the tall opponent in front of him.
"Your knife… is broken."
The barbarian giant twisted his neck and tightened his grip on the knife in his hand again.
Liang Cheng replied expressionlessly, "It doesn't matter, I never knew how to use a knife anyway."
The barbarian giant didn't delay any longer and slashed down with his knife again.
This time, perhaps because he had no weapon, Liang Cheng didn't choose to resist head-on but began to dodge.
After several consecutive slashes failed to hit his target, the barbarian giant became somewhat anxious. The current situation was very unfavorable for them. They had to break through as soon as possible, otherwise, once the Yan cavalry finished clearing the main force and completely controlled the area, it would be difficult for them to get out.
These damned Yan dogs actually used human lives as bait!
The barbarian giant slashed down again, and after Liang Cheng dodged it again by sidestepping, his body directly crashed into Liang Cheng.
"Bang!"
The giant's shoulder slammed hard into Liang Cheng's chest, producing a muffled sound.
The most surprised by this collision was actually the giant himself. He was already a rare warrior in his tribe, especially in terms of physical strength. When wrestling, few could compete with him, but the chest of this Yan man dressed like a civilian laborer was unbelievably hard!
Indeed, it was very illogical because a normal person wouldn't go and play wrestling with a zombie.
Instinctively, as the collision also shortened the distance, the barbarian giant took advantage of the situation to raise his knife, preparing to slash.
However, a force suddenly resisted his knife. He lowered his head in astonishment and was shocked to find that the Yan man's hand, or rather, his fingernails, were stuck on his knife!
"Buzz!"
A gray light flashed on the barbarian giant's body again, further increasing his strength.
The knife and fingernails created intense friction, but the fingernails didn't break. Instead, they became locked in a stalemate with the sharp blade.
Deep within Liang Cheng's eyes, a bloodthirsty light began to surface. He said in a deep voice:
"I still prefer to use my fingernails."
His other hand freed itself, its fingernails also elongated, and stabbed directly at the barbarian giant's chest!
"Puff!"
The barbarian giant's armor seemed unable to provide much protection against these bizarre, black-tinged fingernails. It only slightly delayed them before being pierced through, and the black fingernails pierced into the barbarian giant's body.
"Swish!"
Another arrow struck, hitting Liang Cheng's left arm directly.
The sound of bones breaking came from Liang Cheng's left arm, and his entire arm was completely useless.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the barbarian giant shoved Liang Cheng away and kicked him.
"Bang!"
Liang Cheng was kicked away, crashing into the carriage board, and the carriage board beneath him broke apart.
Behind them, the lean man who had just fired the arrow looked puzzled. The reason he hadn't chosen to shoot the other party's back directly was that he was worried that the arrow would pierce through and injure his own people as well. But even if he shot from the side, he was confident in the power of his arrow, which should have been able to pierce the entire arrow into the other person's body, pinning him like a nail.
But his arrow had only sunk the arrowhead into the other person's left arm, and he was certain that there was no armor on that arm!
"Ari Gu, be careful, there's something wrong with that guy!"
"You should be careful yourself."
A sinister voice came from behind the lean man.
The lean man was immediately startled. He was the best archer in the tribe and the most perceptive. How could someone have gotten so close to him silently?
However,
Xue San had indeed appeared behind him,
And,
He delivered his dagger.
This time, the dagger didn't slash the neck, but pierced directly into the other party's back. And before the other party could react, Xue San grabbed the dagger with both hands and pulled down hard!
"Rumble!!!!"
In a lamb butcher shop, after soaking the sheep in boiling water, they would hang it up and use a knife to pull down from the neck, like undressing the sheep.
Xue San was doing the same thing here, except he was doing it in reverse.
At least, for someone like Xue San, there seemed to be few things in this world more beautiful than being showered in the blood of his enemies.
However,
Perhaps because of the position,
Amidst the spray of blood,
Xue San stood there in a daze,
His body began to tremble uncontrollably,
"Damn you!"
