In addition to Li Du and other personal guards who accompanied the army, Li Yan also had five personal followers at home. They were originally giants in the underworld, and all of them were highly skilled in martial arts, especially the art of combined precision attack. Later, after being subdued by Li Yan, they became Li Yan's followers.
After these five people followed Li Yan, they even hid their names. They all took the surname Li Yan, and they called themselves Li Da, Li Er, Li San... such common names.
Under the guidance of Li Yan, their martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds, and they have all been promoted to the top masters in the world. With five of them working together, even a strong person in the Transformation Realm will find it difficult to kill or defeat the five of them.
When Li Yan stood at the top of the big tree, he recognized Li Si at a glance, so he didn't need to ask about the rest of the matter, and he knew that something big had really happened at home.
With Li Yan's murderous spirit, he didn't care whether the dozen or so people were really soldiers of the dynasty, or whether they were disguised as enemies, he just killed them.
Hearing Li Si's few words, Li Yan's heart felt cold, but he had always been happy without showing it. Unexpectedly, today there was a rebellion in the Confucius School, and Li Da and Li San had already sacrificed their lives. Li Yan felt sad in his heart, and there was an anxious look on his face.
Although he was anxious, how could he ignore it and let Li Si die here.
Without giving Li Si any chance to waste time, after stunning Li Si, he quickly went to the woods and put Li Si down, and carefully checked Li Si's injuries. Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Li Si had no less than twenty wounds on his body, but the most serious ones were the arrow wounds on his shoulder blade and lower back, with two feather arrows stuck in them.
Li Si had never dared to pull out these two arrows before. The two arrows were armor-piercing arrows made by the military. Not only were the arrows heavy, but usually those who were hit by the arrows would be penetrated through the armor and directly to the internal organs.
Because of Li Si's outstanding martial arts skills, when the arrow hit him, he still used his internal strength to release most of his strength, so he was not killed immediately.
Moreover, there is a circle of barbs on the tip of the armor-piercing arrow. If you pull it out with force, it will bring out a large piece of flesh and blood, which will expand the wound several times. You may bleed to death without any treatment.
Li Yan laid Li Si face down on the ground, and then tore open the clothes and soft armor on his back. Although the soft armor could not withstand heavy arrows, it was difficult to cut it open easily with a normal sword. However, Li Yan cut most of it open with just a single stroke of his fingernail.
He first sealed several acupuncture points around the arrow wound on Li Si's shoulder blade, then held the bottom of the arrow shaft with his right hand, and poured in the powerful internal energy.
After the internal force reaches the arrow tip along the arrow shaft, an outward tension is generated, which slowly stretches the muscles around the arrow tip, leaving some space around the arrow tip. Fortunately, Li Si is already unconscious, otherwise the pain would be unbearable.
Li Yan's internal energy has reached the point where he can do whatever he wants, but he is also afraid of hurting Li Si, so even though he seems relaxed, big beads of sweat gradually leak out from his forehead. In this way, his right hand keeps focusing on his internal energy, and at the same time, he
</di>
Little by little, I pulled up my feather arrows...
After more than half a cup of tea, Li Yan briefly treated Li Si's injuries and confirmed that he was no longer in danger for the time being, and then finally tied him to a big tree to prevent him from becoming food for wild beasts.
Then he tied the waist knife firmly in his hand and tapped one of Li Si's large acupoints. The moment he woke up, Li Yan had quickly disappeared into the night.
Li Yan can only do so much. If Li Si is really unlucky and a wild beast comes that is good at climbing trees, and he has not recovered enough to lift the knife, then Li Yan will be unable to do it.
However, as long as Li Si could wait until dawn, Li Du's army would be waiting for him.
At noon on the second day, outside the south gate of Green Mountain Pass, a figure came from a distance and approached quickly.
The dozens of miles outside Green Mountain Pass's south city are all flat and plain. This was ordered to be opened up by Li Yan in order to avoid being attacked and hidden by the Meng Kingdom people. But now it has become a life and death barrier for Li Yan himself, exposing him to the broad daylight without any cover.
He doesn't know the situation in the city, so if he is allowed to approach quietly at night, he will be very confident.
However, it has been two days since Li Si and the others broke through the encirclement, and if there is more time, there will be more changes. Therefore, Li Yan knows that a forced breakthrough will be exposed immediately, but there is no other way.
Sure enough, Li Yan was discovered by the soldiers on the city as soon as he was three miles away from the city. When he got closer, he was hit by an overwhelming barrage of crossbow arrows.
This kind of crossbow is not made by human beings. It is controlled mechanically. Only four soldiers can operate a crossbow. The range can reach up to two miles. It is a murderous weapon. Its accuracy is just not satisfactory, but its quantity can make up for this shortcoming.
Li Yan looked like a swimming dragon, and shouted loudly at the same time, "I am Li Yan. Who is the defender of the city now?" While moving forward among the arrows, he would occasionally shoot out with a palm to shoot the crossbow arrows that were too late to dodge, and he kept approaching with a soft body.
Li Yan As expected, this loud shout caused the crossbows on the city to stop, and then a shout was heard from the top of the city tower, "Shoot quickly, as long as you wait until midnight, we and others will gain fame and wealth easily!"
Li Yan felt a chill in his heart when he heard it. He was particularly familiar with the voice of the Confucius School.
The last glimmer of hope was shattered. This Green Mountain Pass had been controlled by the Confucius School. He missed his wife and children in his heart, and it was useless to say more. His eyes were bloodshot, and the castration became more fierce.
Just as the shouts were heard on the tower, a person emerged from the arrow stack. This person looked to be in his mid-twenties, with a pale face and a pair of eagle eyes shining with a cold luster. He was the person he least wanted and feared to see.
, actually came here alone.
Now that the chaos in the city has not subsided, the so-called defense of the city is a lie. As long as Li Yan's direct lineage is not eliminated in the city, he will not be able to immediately send troops southward to form a force of internal and external cooperation.
Confucius did not expect that no matter that he had been operating for many years and had left as many trusted followers as possible in as many important positions as possible, he still underestimated the prestige of Li Yan.
In addition to him, Li Yan still has less than 400 defenders left in the city. Two days have passed, and there are still more than 100 people resisting based on the camp in the city. There are more heavy weapons in the camp. In two days, they lost thousands of people and were unable to attack.
He must have been anxious, but he didn't dare to leave the city at all. That would leave the back to others, and these soldiers could ask for help from the north. He didn't know how long he could block the news from the north.
Long after Confucius finished speaking, dozens of powerful crossbows were fired. Most of the soldiers around the crossbows hesitated.
Although these soldiers had the intention of defecting, Li Yan usually accumulated too much power, and now only one of them came like a horse in the sky. They had already become panicked, and for a while they did not dare to work together to operate the city to shoot crossbows.
"Are you going to die?" Schoolmaster Confucius's eyes were flooded with murderous intent. The long sword in his waist was already unsheathed, and then several screams rang out from the tower.
"You have already voted for the Meng Kingdom. If the God of Killing comes to the city, will he be able to spare you?" said Principal Kong in a hissing voice.
Under his coercion and intimidation, a rain of arrows and crossbows were spread out of the city again for free. These powerful crossbows were extremely difficult to make, so it was also difficult to store them. They would only use them desperately when the Meng Kingdom army attacked.
Later, it required a lot of money to build, but today it was shot out in one go.
Li Yan's movement skills have reached their peak. As he approached, he no longer felt as relaxed as before. The long sword in his hand was picking or poking, but his forward speed was still astonishing.
He didn't say a word to the Confucius School or anyone else in the city. What needed to be said had already been said. Those unfamiliar or familiar faces were already enemies.
Just a moment later, the road for more than a mile was covered with a thick layer of crossbow arrows either diagonally or straightly, and Li Yan was already under the city gate.
All the rebels in the city were shocked. They all knew that their marshal was the most brave among the three armies, but today they had truly seen what it meant to be brave and invincible. He was simply not human.
The most feared person here is School Kong. The sword in his hand is shaking constantly, his face is getting paler, but his eyes reveal a desperate look.
Li Yan After fighting all the way, he has reached the bottom of the city. The crossbows on the city are no longer a threat to him. What he needs to be careful of are things like rolling logs, boulders and hot oil.
</di>
br> Li Yan looked up, and his arms were a little sore. He seemed relaxed during this short journey of more than a mile, but they were powerful crossbows that could penetrate Shidong Mountain. His internal strength was also consumed quite a lot, but at this moment, he was still fearless.
The fierce Li Yan let out a long roar, which shook the surrounding areas and penetrated the clouds and cracked the silk. Then he tried to use Qinggong to step up the wall.
But at this moment, a cold voice was heard from above. "Marshal Li, Lord Li, why are you so eager to enter the city? Come and see, what is this?"
Li Yan Hearing this, his body suddenly stopped, and he looked up with a cold face. He saw half of his body exposed in the arrow mouth. It was none other than Principal Kong, and he was holding something in his hand, hanging down.
Green Mountain Pass The tower is tens of feet tall. The thing Confucius is holding in his hands is very small. Ordinary people would not be able to see it clearly at such a distance. However, Li Yan can see it clearly if he uses his eyesight well enough.
He was about to pounce on his rising body, but suddenly he felt as if he had been hit hard, and immediately became motionless, like a clay or wood sculpture.
It was a jade ring, a small green jade ring. The pattern on it was very familiar to him. It was something that his wife wore close to her neck.
Li Yan just felt bored in his heart. When he was about to ask, Principal Kong above him seemed to see his face clearly, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. This God of Death was not a human at all. If he really tried his best to come up, I'm afraid no one here could stop him.
Although Li Yan cannot kill everyone here when he comes to the city, he is definitely a dead target.
"Sir, your mansion is impregnable, and your mistress is also a hero among women, but after all, she cannot withstand my rocket attacks. It's a pity, it's a pity that in the Marshal's Mansion, I only found this jade ring.
I thought that its style could not be owned by anyone but a noble person, so I kept it. I wonder which noble person in the mansion owned this thing?
Well, is it the mistress, or the two young ladies? "
Hearing the cold words above, Li Yan's mind flashed to the scorched earth of the Marshal's Mansion, the jade beauty, and the most precious gift God had given him in his life, a pair of children carved in pink and jade.
Pictures he didn't want to see flashed quickly before his eyes.
Li Yan felt stuffy in his heart, sweetness in his throat, dizziness in his head, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Then his mountain-like body swayed a few times, and the sword in his hand hung down feebly. His eyes were full of deathly gray. For a moment, he didn't know where he was, and he even leaned his body on the city wall.
When Principal Kong saw it on the high wall, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He quickly turned around and said, "Quick, quick, throw down all the rolling rocks and the big pot of hot oil. Quick, quick, quick..."
