Five Immortals Gate

Chapter 440: Shock in the dark night

Li Yan was a master of the martial arts world, and he was the best in the world in leading troops in battles. He could tell at just one glance that it was a situation of escaping and chasing.

Li Yan did not move, but the thought he least wanted to think of had arisen in his mind. With his rich experience, he had concluded that the dozens of people in front of him, whether they were fleeing or chasing, were all members of the military. It can be seen that all of them are displaying military riding skills.

The journey of two to three miles took only a moment under the galloping horses. As the first person approached, Li Yan used his eyesight enough. When the horse was less than thirty feet away from the big tree where he was, he finally saw clearly. The appearance of the visitor.

The moment he saw the person on the horse clearly, the twigs under Li Yan's feet made a slight "click" sound, and then broke.

The moment the twig broke, Li Yan was startled. He swayed and stepped on another twig again, so that he did not fall.

Although the sound of breaking twigs was extremely soft and crisp, amidst the rumble of horse hooves, the man below did not hear it at all, and instead galloped away from under the tree.

Li Yan stood motionless on the tree, just looking coldly towards the back of the official road.

After a while, a dozen cavalrymen from behind came to the tree like a heavy rain and strong wind. Li Yan could clearly see that these people were cavalrymen wearing imperial armor.

They were all silent, fighting in cold blood, with faces as cold as cold. Most of them were holding long spears, and two of them were holding an empty bow, which they had obviously used before.

Seeing that these people were flying under the tree, Li Yan suddenly circled like a goshawk and reached the head of the first person.

He did not draw out his sword, but put his foot on the head of the galloping man. He only heard a "bang" sound, followed by another mournful cry from the horse.

The armored soldier on horseback didn't even let out a muffled groan before he stepped on his head into his neck with a force as strong as a heavy hammer.

The horse that was galloping under the armored soldier also fell to the ground with a crash, and its four hooves made a "clicking" sound. Suddenly, the bones and tendons were broken, and the entire horse's back collapsed, and it was seen that it could not survive.

This sudden change immediately caused the dozen or so people who were running in a hurry to lose their formation. However, these people were all well-trained elite soldiers and their reactions were extremely fast.

At this moment, their superb riding skills were clearly revealed. With a loud neighing sound, they each turned their horses' heads, either standing upright on the spot, or running to one side of the road.

After killing the first person, Li Yan didn't stop at all. He jumped up again with his toes and was in front of the second person in an instant.

The strong horse under the man's crotch was raising its hooves high. When he was about to push down the horse's head, he saw a black shadow coming to his side.

\u003c/di\u003e

The armored soldier also reacted very quickly. He pulled the reins with one hand, no longer worrying about whether he fell off the horse, and with the other hand, he stabbed the black shadow in the corner of his eye with his spear.

Although his reaction was almost instantaneous, what he encountered was Li Yan. As soon as he thrust out the spear in his hand, he felt a strong force coming from the tip of the spear, and then there was a crisp "click" sound coming from his arm.

He didn't feel the pain yet, but the handle of the gun was smashed directly backward on his body. He felt a sweet taste in his mouth, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out along with a large piece of internal organs.

Then he fell on his back on the horse. Because Li Yan's attack was too fierce, the inertia of the gun handle brought the horse backwards and fell on his back, and then hit the soldier heavily again. .

The soldier who was already dead had all kinds of colors squeezed out of his seven orifices.

Killing two people in a row, Li Yan was in front of the third person like a whirlwind. He put his palms together and slapped the soldier on the back who was galloping forward and was about to turn around and shoot an arrow.

There was another loud "bang" sound, and the man's back and the fine steel armor sank deeply into it, but his chest swelled up as if it was blowing, and the horse galloped forward with the dead body.

After three people died, eight people were finally able to calm down the frightened horses. They circled their horses back and surrounded Li Yan. At this time, Li Yan's figure landed on the ground.

Li Yan's face was as gloomy as water, his hands were clasped behind his back, and he looked coldly at the eight people and horses around him.

One of the eight people shouted in a low voice, "We were ordered to capture important criminals from the imperial court. Where did you come from as a desperado... You are..."

"Yuan...Yuan...Shuai..."

"Retreat quickly..."

The man only said a few words. He couldn't see Li Yan's face clearly in the dark night before, but now he was far away and the moonlight was very bright tonight. At this time, he could see Li Yan's face clearly and he immediately let out a cry. exclaimed.

Not only him, but also several soldiers facing Li Yan had clearly seen the person coming. They were almost frightened to death and subconsciously turned their horses' heads to escape.

The people behind Li Yan still had ferocious expressions on their faces before. When they heard the people in front of them exclaim, although their reaction was a little slow, after hearing the word "marshal", their ferocious faces immediately turned away and were replaced by gray ones. Color, everyone immediately fled in all directions.

They chased and killed those who escaped all the way, because they were afraid of being known by the army ahead, so they did not dare to act recklessly on the way, and they pursued them in a hurry.

Now identify the person in front of you

, it turned out to be that evil god. Everyone had a ghost in their heart, and now they felt that their retribution was coming, and they couldn't help but scream in fear.

"Want to leave?" Li Yan confirmed his thoughts when he saw that these soldiers did not come to worship after seeing him, but ran away.

He just stood there without moving, but his right hand curled his fingers into claws, and a few bursts of energy erupted from his fingers.

Then he raised his arm, clasped his fingers, and grabbed one area in the air. The armor leaves on the previous dead body made a "clatter" sound, and eight armor leaves flew out from the armor. The next moment was here. Li Yan's hands.

Li Yan gathered his five fingers together, pinched the eight armor leaves between his fingers, and then waved them out without looking at them.

Several sharp whistles, like the call of death, were heard in the silence, followed by several shrill screams that sounded in the distance, startling countless birds.

Then, the eight horses in the four directions were still running forward, but no one was sitting on their backs.

Some of the eight people fell directly from the horse, and some were half dragged on the ground. As the horses ran wildly, the armor leaves on their bodies collided with the ground with a muffled sound.

These people all wore armor and had iron helmets on their heads, but at this time, there was a big hole in the fine iron helmet on the back of the head, and blood and pale things were gurgling out of it.

Li Yan no longer looked at them, but swayed and ran towards the road he came from.

And he had only walked more than a mile when he saw a person riding a horse in front of him looking here. When the person saw someone approaching in the dark, he wanted to turn the horse's head immediately, but he was obviously still hesitant.

The miserable howls of a dozen people just before their death could be heard far away in the silent night. Not to mention one or two miles away, they could still be heard even further away.

So after the person who escaped heard about it, he was shocked and suspicious. He knew that something had happened to the pursuers behind him. At this moment, his physical strength was severely exhausted and he was seriously injured. Even if he could walk, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long, so he hesitated and wanted to take a look. What happened.

After the screams, the sound of horse hooves came from behind again. He quickly galloped away, but only walked a few dozen feet before stopping again.

Because when he turned around, he saw only a war horse approaching, and there was no one on the horse. In his alert eyes, the horse had already galloped past.

"Someone really took action to kill those people..." Just when he had the idea, he saw a black shadow flying towards this side like lightning. This made him run away in fright and instinctively turned his horse's head. , and planned to escape.

But at this moment, a man let

\u003c/di\u003e

His very unexpected voice sounded, "Li Si, it's me!" The man was immediately surprised and delighted. He quickly pulled on the reins and asked in a trembling voice, "Is it your lord?"

"It's a certain family!" The person came at an alarming speed, and by the time he uttered the second sentence, he was already in front of this person.

The man who immediately called Li Si shook his body, and his tense nerves finally relaxed. The next moment he felt dizzy and fell off the horse, but Li Yan reached out to catch him.

While catching Li Si, Li Yan's other hand was already touching several places on his body, but his brows were furrowed.

Li Si was seriously injured, and there were two arrows stuck in his right shoulder blade and lower back, dyeing his entire back red.

Li Si's face was pale and he looked at Li Yan, but the anxious look on his face remained unchanged. He said in a weak voice, "Sir, please... quickly save... the savior mother and young master... the little... miss, the Confucius School rebelled and surrendered... …surrendered to the enemy…”

Before he could finish speaking, Li Yan's body shook violently and he asked anxiously, "What's wrong with Ah Ying and the others?"

"I... when I, Li Da, and Li San were sent by the Lord... Mistress to ask for help..., the Commander's Mansion had been... surrounded by rebels led by Confucius School. The Lord... Mistress led the Commander's Mansion... The guards...the guards are leaning against the wall and refusing to defend.

I...the three of us...we fought to the death and did not dare to fall in love...to fight. We just broke out of the siege. Li Da sacrificed his life to drag...to live in the Confucius School. Li San lifted the thousand-jin gate at the city gate and was hit...several times. Ten arrows saved me from escaping from Qingshan Pass.

This happened...two days ago! Sir...my lord, please return to the city quickly before you can..."

As Li Si spoke, a large amount of thick blood continued to pour out of the corner of his mouth. In addition to two arrow wounds, his body was also covered with dozens of large and small wounds. In order to break out of the encirclement as quickly as possible, they did not wear any heavy armor at all. There is only one set of soft armor that fits the body.

After hearing this, Li Yan was extremely anxious, but he still interrupted Li Si's words in a deep voice.

"Okay, I understand. You don't need to say anything anymore. I'll heal your injuries. Then you can rest in the woods here. Li Du will lead his army to this place by tomorrow evening at the latest. Then you let them Just take it with you.”

"No... no, sir, please leave me alone and quickly rescue the mistress and..." Li Si felt anxious after hearing this.

He knew that he was seriously injured and it was basically difficult to treat him. He mustered up the remaining strength to break free from Li Yan's arm.

Before he could speak, Li Yan pressed the thumb of his other hand on the back of his head, and Li Si collapsed softly.

With a dark face, Li Yan held Li Si in one hand and ran toward the woods on one side.
