The two soon clashed for the third time. This time, as their horses passed each other and were about to part ways, Lu Yulin suddenly turned around and launched a counterattack, crouching low on his horse's back, thrusting his spear into the belly of Wu Shuangren's warhorse.
Wu Shuangren had no time to block, so he could only immediately slash forward along the shaft of the opponent's spear, striking the hind leg of the opponent's warhorse.
With two neighs, the warhorses beneath them both collapsed, and the two men swiftly and cleanly leaped off their backs, landing steadily on their feet.
Without any hesitation, the two switched from mounted combat to foot combat and clashed once again.
This time, it's no longer a fleeting clash of mounted combat; it's about continuity and variation.
If Lin Qian's spear thrust was like a swirling ocean current, swallowing everything in its path...
Then Lu Yulin's spear thrust was like a raging dragon emerging from the sea, unstoppable!
Yan Xiaobing and he practiced marksmanship together since childhood, and their marksmanship skills can be said to have come from the same school.
Wu Shuangren had fought Yan Xiaobing before, but now, fighting Lu Yulin, he felt no sense of familiarity whatsoever.
The moves are clearly the same, but when Lu Yulin uses them, the artistic conception and variations are completely different!
Yan Xiaobing's marksmanship was like a giant python coiling around its prey; once he gained the upper hand, he could tighten his grip, making it difficult for the enemy to escape.
Lu Yulin's spear technique had transformed from a python into a dragon.
The python crawled on the ground.
And the dragon soars into the sky!
While both techniques involve flipping and twisting the spear, Lu Yulin's execution adds a sense of rising power and variation, making his spear technique faster and more ferocious!
Wu Shuangren countered with the Cloud Tiger Seven Kills technique, combining Yin and Yang, using the opponent's strength against them, and was not at a disadvantage in the slightest.
The two quickly exchanged over a hundred moves!
Lu Yulin not only failed to gain the upper hand, but also felt that Wu Shuangren was becoming more and more familiar with his marksmanship and was using his opponent's force more and more smoothly.
He was not in a hurry; on the contrary, his mind became even calmer.
However, the situation on the battlefield at Mount Liang could not be as calm as he was.
Wu Yan's final move failed to break the deadlock, and Mount Liang's spear formation finally gave way.
Like a dam breached by a flood, almost turning into a circular formation of spears, signs of collapse appeared everywhere, and the crowd began to scatter!
Lu Yulin, who was nearby, caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye, and his heart skipped a beat!
When top players compete, they're fighting for the very top spot.
Wu Shuangren did not miss this opportunity. With a flash of his blade, he deliberately lured the opponent's spear into piercing his own chest.
Bang!
With a muffled thud, Wu Shuangren stood still, his body motionless.
On the contrary, Lu Yulin felt as if his spear had pierced a golden bell. A shockwave came from beneath the opponent's armor, causing his spear thrust to falter.
Leakless Golden Body!
Wu Shuangren had only just begun to learn this secret technique of the Mist Hidden Temple, but now, with the enhancement of [Match for One Person], it was enough to play a crucial role.
Taking advantage of Lu Yulin's momentary pause in his spear Wu Shuangren slashed at the hand holding the spear with his long-handled broadsword.
Lu Yulin had no choice but to release the gun barrel, flip his wrist, and use his wrist guard to block the incoming blade.
Click!
With a crisp crack, Lu Yulin's left wrist fractured without any suspense.
Wu Shuangren swept his broadsword horizontally, striking the spear shaft and knocking the spear out of Lu Yulin's hand!
Despite being shocked to lose his weapon, Lu Yulin remained calm, his internal energy surging like a boiling river.
He decisively unleashed his potential, leaped backward, and then turned and sprinted!
Without hesitation, Wu Shuangren strode forward in pursuit, channeling his Internal Skill as he ran, shouting loudly:
You have lost!!!
The sound was like thunder, exploding through the crowd.
The group of heavily armored Mount Liang infantrymen who were engaged in battle, along with Yan Xiaobing, Liang An, and others, all turned to look in this direction.
Seeing Lu Yulin drop his weapon and run away with his head down, while Wu Shuangren chased after him with a knife in hand, everyone was shocked and incredulous!
"Elder brother!"
Yan Xiaobing exclaimed in surprise, disregarding everything else, and immediately turned around to chase after Lu Yulin.
A commotion broke out in the crowd, and many of Lu Yulin's personal guards almost instinctively turned and retreated, completely losing their will to fight.
You have lost!!!
Wu Shuangren shouted as he chased after him.
More and more Mount Liang saw him chasing after Lu Yulin.
From the high platform, Wu Yan also witnessed this scene.
His face showed shock, anger, and disappointment, and finally he turned ashen, clutching his chest with one hand.
In the hearts of many in Mount Liang, Lu Yulin was an invincible war god!
Now, this invincible war god is being hunted down and is fleeing in panic. This scene is a huge blow to the soldiers and generals of Mount Liang!
Furthermore, with the Mount Liang spearmen, who were the main force, already routed, the battle was beyond saving.
"Withdraw!"
Wu Yan leaped down from the platform and called out to the people around him.
On the Yi Prefecture City.
Guo Jiwang had been staring intently at the battlefield ahead, suddenly widened his eyes.
The two previously intertwined gray waves suddenly underwent a dramatic transformation—
One of the waves was swept back, as if it had transformed into countless droplets, scattering and flowing in all directions!
"Huh? Hahahaha!!"
Guo Jiwang laughed heartily, his face beaming with delight.
He turned around and called out behind him:
"Bring the wine!"
"Get me some wine right now!!"
P. S.: Give me my monthly pass! Hurry up and give me my monthly pass!
168. Devastatingly powerful, a smile tinged with tears.
Outside the north gate of Yi Province, the collapse of Mount Liang was like an avalanche, irreversible!
The fastest to escape were the right-wing cavalry, who were still searching for an opportunity to fight on the outskirts. Seeing that the situation was not good, they immediately turned their horses around and began to retreat, galloping towards the main road.
Then Wu Yan led a small number of personal guards to retreat, followed by the already defeated spear formation, with the spearmen and crossbowmen fleeing in a frantic manner!
The Mount Liang swordsmen and shieldmen on the left and right flanks, still locked in fierce combat, also began to turn and flee, abandoning their heavy shields.
Some people took off their armor as they ran.
In an instant, the soldiers of Mount Liang abandoned their armor and weapons, like a flock of birds startled into flight!
A banner bearing the banner of "Acting on Behalf of Heaven" fell askew, trampled over by the fleeing Mount Liang.
The battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders of the Yi Province Militia immediately ordered a pursuit.
At this point, these fleeing enemies were nothing more than naked rewards, land, and property in their eyes!
Of course, the Militia Private did not chase after them haphazardly. Instead, they gathered in large groups, with the spearmen lined up in rows and platoons, and pursued the fleeing soldiers ahead.
Some knelt on the ground to surrender, some were stabbed in the mud by spears thrust from behind, and some fleeing soldiers tripped and fell to the ground in their haste, then lay there pretending to be dead...
Wu Shuangren did not participate in the pursuit. He quickly rushed to a warhorse that had lost its master, called out to it, and then spurred his horse to gallop towards the left side of the battlefield.
That's the battlefield where Wu Dongrong's cavalry battalion clashed with the Mount Liang left-wing cavalry.
Wu Shuangren was worried about the safety of her elders, so she rushed over immediately.
Before the dust had settled, Wu Shuangren rode his horse at full speed, cutting down any stragglers of Mount Liang cavalry he encountered along the way.
At the very center of the smoke and dust, Lin Qian was still fighting Xu Nanzhi.
As Xu Nanzhi said before, Lin Qian's marksmanship has truly undergone a transformation!
When he unleashed his gun and went all out in defense, even Xu Nanzhi found it difficult to break through his defense in a short time.
Wu Dongrong, Liao Yu, and some elite cavalrymen from the border scouts and cavalry battalion brought by Xu Jing were still locked in combat with the Mount Liang cavalry.
Wu Dongrong's target was always Guan Sheng, and he repeatedly turned his horse around to charge at Guan Sheng.
Liao Yu launched a surprise attack from the outside, coordinating with him.
In addition, Xu Nanzhi would occasionally break free from Lin Qian and attack Guan Sheng, or kill the personal guards who came to support Guan Sheng.
Lin Qian could certainly defend with all his might and block Xu Nanzhi's attacks, but he would find it difficult to protect someone from Xu Nanzhi's sword.
Because Xu Nanzhi's movement skills are equally superb!
So far, Guan Sheng has not been able to find a chance to ride a warhorse again.
Upon realizing that the main force was beginning to collapse, the left-wing cavalrymen who were engaged in battle also turned their horses around and began to flee!
Guan Sheng and Lin Qian also planned to leave.
Lin Qian's movement technique was superb; he left an afterimage in his original position and had already moved several feet away.
Xu Nanzhi did not chase after him, but instead turned around and thrust her sword at Guan Sheng, who was not far away.
Guan Sheng's face was flushed, his veins bulged all over his body, and his blood and qi surged. Without hesitation, he unleashed his potential and used his trump card!
He brandished his Guan Dao, turning the heavy, eighty-pound blade into a halo of light that impenetrable even to water, forcing Xu Nanzhi, who was attacking him, to retreat!
He turned around, dragging his sword behind him, and strode away.
However, he was wearing heavy armor and his movements were far inferior to Lin Qian's, making him significantly slower.
Xu Nanzhi's movements were superb; she couldn't catch up with Lin Qian in a straight line, but catching up with Guan Sheng was a piece of cake.
Wu Dongrong also had no intention of letting Guan Sheng off so easily, and rode his Thunder Treader to catch up from behind.
Guan Sheng was held up by the couple, and even with his potential unleashed, he couldn't break free!
His personal guards were either killed or wounded in the previous battles, or tied up by Liao Yu and his men, leaving him isolated and helpless for the time being.
Lin Qian had already run some distance ahead when he looked back and saw that Guan Sheng was entangled. Without hesitation, he turned around and rushed back!
While fighting Xu Nanzhi, he covered Guan Sheng's retreat.
But Xu Nanzhi was determined to keep Guan Sheng, and her unpredictable movements made it difficult for Lin Qian to keep up.
In a straight-line sprint, he is better than Xu Nanzhi. But in close-quarters maneuvering and shifting, he is not as good as Xu Nanzhi.
Ahead, Wu Dongrong turned his horse around and charged forward once again.
This time, instead of attacking Guan Sheng, he went after Lin Qian, creating an opportunity for Xu Nanzhi.
The couple worked together seamlessly, and with Liao Yu occasionally launching surprise attacks from the outside, Lin Qian and Guan Sheng were unable to escape.
Guan Sheng had already noticed a rider galloping rapidly towards them from a hundred paces away. The rider was wearing infantry armor and carrying a long-handled sword, which was very likely Wu Shuangren!
"Brother Lin, you go quickly, don't worry about me!"
Guan Sheng shouted loudly.
He knew that with Lin Qian's agility, he could leave at any time; the other party was being held back by him.
Let's go together!
Lin Qian had also unleashed his potential, using his trump card. His spear thrusts were like raging waves, surging and powerful, creating strong wind pressure and kicking up dust as he swung it!
"Wu Shuangren is here. If we don't leave now, nobody will be able to leave!"
Guan Sheng said urgently.
