Wang Zhu hesitated for a while and pulled the corner of Wei Yan's clothes. "General, do you want to deliver a letter? It's better to be safer. What if..."

Wei Yan looked at Wang Zhu, and the flames in his eyes gradually faded. He patted Wang Zhu on the shoulder. "You are right, I am confused and almost forgot the main business. Think about it, what other way to go? Let's find a way to go. As for these rats, let them live a few more days."

Wang Zhu scratched his head and looked around. "There are only two roads, and there is no other road, unless you go back to the camp and take other roads. But that would take at least two days, and that road might not be safe."

Wei Yan nodded. "Since that's the case, I can only break through. Brothers, follow my command and first ensure the safety of the military newspaper. As long as I, Wei Yan, can still live, the sacrificed brothers don't have to worry about their family. The old ones will be old and I will go to see them to die. I will raise them like my own children."

"Haha, Wen Chang, don't worry. Since we are on the army, we are all ready." The older knight Li Wu smiled indifferently: "Besides, just those barbarians can stop us. It is important to do serious business today. It is their luck not to kill them, so how could they take advantage of them? Brothers, are you right? We are the elites around the governor."

"That's right, Wen Chang, don't be nervous. It's enough to use 20% or 30% of the skills the governor usually teaches you." Another knight smiled.

Looking at these confident knights, Wei Yan also smiled. He had been with Zhou Yu for many years and had seen many big scenes, but this was the first time he was carrying out his mission. If it was just a battle, it would be fine, but there was an important military newspaper on his body that must be sent to the central army safely. He was somewhat worried and worried and could not perform it. Then he wanted to say a few words to boost morale. After listening to his friends, he felt relieved.

Wei Yan climbed up the hillside and checked the terrain. The mountain road ahead was a draw between two mountains. On the east side was Jiucang Ridge, and on the west side was also a mountain, which was heading north and south, slightly tilted to the southwest. The narrowest place between the two ridges was blocked by stones and trees. If you want to pass by, you can only get off your horse and walk and climb over. Not to mention that the war horses cannot pass, even people have to be careful.

Wei Yan looked back and forth for a while, and his eyes finally fell on a cave of spring water at the bottom of Jiucang Ridge. The water in this cave is not large, but it is very clear. In winter, the water is shallow, and the spring water is surrounded by a beach, which is not large, but it is still flat.

Wei Yan's heart moved and turned around and asked Wang Zhu, "Is this water deep?"

"Not deep." Wang Zhu was very sure. "The deepest part is not enough to be waist."

"Is there any pitfalls below?"

"There is a hole in the middle, about ten feet away. The hole is full of stones, and the spring water seeps out from the cracks of the stones. In addition, they are all large stones, very flat."

Wei Yan nodded, summoned the knights to deploy tactics. He decided to use his own cavalry to fully exert part of the power of the cavalry. They did not bring spears, only long swords, large shields and gōng, which were barely enough. However, considering that the opponents were all local barbarians and had no experience in dealing with cavalry, they could still catch them off guard if they used them well.

Li Wu and others were all selected knights from the army. They had rich combat experience and understood as soon as they heard it. They also made a few suggestions. You said, I said, and a tactical plan quickly took shape. Wei Yan brought Wang Zhu and four knights in front, and Li Wu brought the other five knights behind. Both sides maintained a span of thirty steps, forming two front and back formations.

Wei Yan rode his horse to the obstacle, acted to watch left and right, cursed, and ordered two knights to explore the way. The knight got off the horse, holding a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, slowly walked forward, climbing up the obstacle, and checking the situation. They had just climbed up, and before they could stand firm, shouting came from the hillsides on both sides. Several barbarians with tattoos stood up from Hidden, held crossbows, and shot at Wei Yan and others.

Wei Yan and others were prepared, so they looked for cover on the spot and raised gōng    nǔ to fight back.

The two sides were going back and forth, and arrows were flying. The barbarians had the advantage of being condescending, with a large number of people, and the arrow rain was much denser. However, Wei Yan and others were well-equipped, and the barbarians' gōng     nǔ could not shoot through their armor. The two sides were in a stalemate and it was difficult to distinguish.

As the war broke out, the barbarians sounded the horn to call the police. Not long after, a response came from Jiucangling. A group of people ran down the mountain road. Wei Yan saw that there were probably more than 20 people, and the total number was about 30 on the hillsides on both sides. He waved his hand back, and Li Wu and others immediately turned around and retreated north. Wei Yan also looked panicked and retreated back. At this time, the two knights who came forward to check the situation shouted for help, shouting loudly. Wei Yan was "hesitant", ran two steps, turned back, and fought back to the barbarians on the hillside, responding to their companions to break through.

Like the barbarians on the hillside, they immediately concentrated their strength, not asking for harm, but only asking for suppression, making the two knights unable to raise their heads.

The barbarians on the hillside were marching like flying. During Wei Yan's "hesitation", they rushed down from the hillside. Seeing that there were only three people beside Wei Yan, Li Wu and others in the distance had run away. The generals who commanded the barbarians naturally chose to divide the troops and ordered more than ten people to bypass the springs and encircle Wei Yan's retreat.

Seeing that the barbarians were trapped, Wei Yan was overjoyed and ordered Wang Zhu to retreat with his war horse. He and two other knights held large shields and rushed to the obstacle, pulled a stone bow, and shot continuously.

In jungle combat, the first priority is gōng    nǔ, which is the knowledge Wei Yan learned in the martial arts lecture hall. Over the years, he has been practicing archery skills, from a small bow to a large bow, until a stone bow, and almost every shot within fifty steps. In order to paralyze his opponent just now, he has not used his real archery skills. Now when it comes to seeing the real chapter, he no longer has to stop.

The other two knights also raised their bows and shot with all their might.

The three of them showed their might and shot more than a dozen arrows in one breath. Several people on the opposite side immediately got caught in arrows and screamed, and the arrow formation was stagnant. Two knights on the obstacle took the opportunity to jump down, joined the small formation of Wei Yan and the other two, raised their shields to cover their companions, and fought and retreated.

The barbarians were careless for a moment and caught off guard by Wei Yan and others, injured several people. The leader who had just arrived was furious. Seeing that Wei Yan was about to leave, he was very anxious and ordered everyone to go down to the valley to pursue. The surrounding people also accelerated their pace, met by the spring water, and surrounded Wei Yan and others in the middle.

"Round formation!" Wei Yan shouted loudly, forming a round formation with four knights back to back. Wang Zhu also pulled out the machete and joined the round formation. A barbarian soldier rushed up and waved his long sword to slash at Wei Yan. Wei Yan shouted loudly, pressed his shoulders against the shield, slammed head-on, waved his sword with his right hand, stretched out from the lower edge of the shield, reached between the legs of the barbarian soldier, and dragged it hard.

The barbarians screamed in pain, a large hole was torn open on the inner side of the groin, the femoral artery was cut open, and blood fountains surged out. Wei Yan took advantage of the situation and went forward to kill another person, then retreated back to the round formation. They formed a formation to guard each other, covered each other, and attacked Lengzi. In a short while, they killed another person.

Seeing more than 20 people besieging Wei Yan, but failed to win, three people died one after another. The leader of the opponent, who was originally commanding the battle on the hillside, could not hold back, and went down to the valley in person, rushed over with the most elite guards, shouting incomprehensible words, as if he would not give up until he killed Wei Yan.

Wei Yan sneered and issued an order.

Li Wu and others who "escape" to the distance received the order and immediately rode their horses. As soon as the horse hooves sounded, the barbarians noticed it. When they looked up, they saw the cavalry running from a distance. They were so scared that they turned around and fled to retreat to the ridge. Wei Yan did not give them such a chance, and immediately changed the round formation into a sagittal formation, rushed forward and attacked fiercely, cutting off the retreat path first, blocking more than 20 barbarians by the spring water.

In the blink of an eye, Li Wu and his six men rode their horses and rushed into the barbarians. The horse's hooves kicked the waves, and the sword in their hands danced like a windmill, mercilessly reaping the lives of the barbarians. Although the barbarians fought back with all their might, they had no advantage in front of the galloping war horses, in front of the tough armor and sharp swords. They were either knocked down by the war horses or chopped down by the war knife. The clear spring water was soon stained with blood.

The battle ended soon. Seven or eight barbarian soldiers fell in pools of blood, and the rest stood in the waist-deep spring water and shivered, without the arrogance he had just now. Wei Yan walked to the edge of the spring water, pointed at the man who looked like a leader with a sword, and waved.

The leader did not dare to neglect, so he quickly threw away his weapons, raised his hands, walked to Wei Yan, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly.

"What's the name?"

"Long Baozi."

"Of the Long family?"

"Yes, yes." Long Baozi nodded repeatedly. He was soaked all over, afraid and cold, and he was not even able to speak easily. He was ordered to bring more than 30 people here to ambush. He saw that Wei Yan had only a dozen people, and felt that he was sure to win and wanted to make a contribution. Unexpectedly, the other party was not only difficult to deal with, but also cunning, and actually used cavalry to fight back. When he understood, the outcome was decided. When Wei Yan's tone was wrong, he quickly said, "Although I am a member of the Long family, I am a branch, otherwise I would not have been in trouble here."

Wei Yan held back his laughter and looked cold. "Do you want to survive?"

"Think, think."

"Then move these trees and stones away for me. If the sun can be completed before the setting, I will give you a way out. If not, hehe, don't blame me for being black..."
