Chapter 1530 Return
Needless to say about the next battle situation, the Shanyue people who came to aid were rushed by Wang Ping, and they immediately fell into chaos, not to mention that Wang Ping's more than 200 men with amazing combat strength also followed suit?
Sun Zhen, who commanded the cavalry, also made a basic cooperation when he saw the friendly army coming, so the Shanyue people's reinforcements quickly collapsed.
Of course, Fang Linyan also took advantage of the situation to attack, mainly because he felt that the sleeve arrows and iron lotus were really useful, and he wanted to use some of the spoils to defend himself.
In this Three Kingdoms world, the most dangerous place is the battlefield, and the most dangerous place is the swords cut from all directions after being surrounded.
Even if it is as strong as Lu Bu, when leading the charge, he will definitely bring his trusted cronies to cover his back and left and right wings, so that he can concentrate on facing the crisis ahead.
After losing his cronies who covered his blind spots, Lu Bu's end was to go directly to Baimenlou.
Therefore, seemingly inconspicuous artifacts such as Xiujian and Iron Lotus are far more useful than powerful strategic items in many cases!
It is a pity that this group of Shanyue people's reinforcements were defeated too quickly, and even ordinary soldiers with the difficulty of the golden branch line had high health. Even if Fang Linyan successfully summoned Heizhu, it would be very difficult to kill.
When the dust settled and began to clean the battlefield, Fang Linyan only got an ordinary key. What's more, what was opened inside was a pile of sundries, and there were no sleeve arrows, iron lotus flowers, etc. that he wanted. Wait.
Fortunately, at this moment, Xiang Hezhen managed to surprise Fang Linyan. On the Muramasa double swords he was holding, there was actually a layer of bloody flames about an inch high! !
At the top edge of the double knives, the bloody flame even reached a foot high.
The clothes on Xiang He Zhen's body were already stained with blood. When he walked towards Fang Linyan, Fang Linyan even noticed one thing clearly, that is, many Shu soldiers around looked at Xiang He Zhen with complicated eyes. , that is the look of awe in fear.
"This guy must have made a big splash on the battlefield."
Fang Linyan said to himself in his heart.
Xiang Hezhen ignored the eyes of the others, half-kneeled down four or five meters away from Fang Linyan, and then said with some guilt:
"My lord, I have neglected my duty, please punish me."
Fang Linyan was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that Xiang Hezhen's main mission was to protect himself, so he should come to look for him immediately after completing the mission --- cutting off the scouts of the Shanyue people.
However, it is obvious that Miaofa Village has gone into a state of berserk after a frenzied killing, and Xiang He Zhen looks gentle and graceful, but actually has a cruel and violent heart.
Therefore, when Fang Linyan was not around and did not receive any further instructions, Xiang Hezhen was obsessed with killing and couldn't extricate himself from it. He didn't wake up until the war stopped.
It was only later that Fang Linyan found out that in fact, until the end of the battle to clean up the battlefield, Xiang Hezhen still couldn't get out of the killing state and directly killed the prisoners.
The surrounding soldiers of the Shu army all looked at each other in blank dismay, but they were all frightened by the murderous intent emanating from Xiang He Zhen, they didn't dare to step forward to stop him, and it was Wang Ping who stopped him later.
It is also fortunate that Xiang He Zhen still has a basic sense of enemy and friend in this state, and can control the killing intent not to attack his own people.
Otherwise, Fang Linyan's reputation among the Shu army would have slipped to the bottom.
Fang Linyan hesitated for a moment, then said simply:
"Then cut off your left little finger yourself."
Without hesitation, Xiang He Zhen slashed out with a knife, cutting off one of his little fingers.
And then he brought a surprise to Fang Linyan, and this surprise made Fang Linyan regret that he had punished He Zhen earlier.
It turned out that Xiang He Zhen handed over a dozen keys to Fang Linyan in a hurry!
It was only then that Fang Linyan remembered that Xiang Hezhen was also his own summoner, and he could also get the full amount of spoils.
Although the quality of these keys is not high, most of them are blue, and only one is silver plot level, but there are too many of them.
Moreover, the combat effectiveness of miscellaneous soldiers like the Shanyue people will be much lower. Under the same conditions, regular soldiers from the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu can fight two or three at a time, so Fang Linyan's psychological expectations are not very high.
The next step was the happy key-opening session. Thirteen sleeve arrows Fang Linyan wanted came out, two iron lotus flowers came out, and one poison tube.
In addition, Fang Linyan also got a new item called Zhu Rongling, which cannot be used and can only be carried on the body, but its function is to strengthen the sleeve arrow.
After activating it, the integrity of Zhu Rongling will be reduced by 5%~10% every time a sleeve arrow is fired, but the one sleeve arrow fired will become multiple (but Fang Linyan only consumes one sleeve arrow), and The sleeve arrows will have flames attached to them.
Fang Linyan took a test shot and found that after using the sleeve arrows, the multiple sleeve arrows were scattered towards the front in a fan shape. Simply put, it was similar to the bullet trajectory of the poor man's shotgun, and the sleeve arrows also attacked from a single target. turned into a group attack.
And with the flame effect, it can also cause extra damage to elites or BOSS (enemies that cannot be killed by Hidden Arrow).
Then there is a blue-quality Miao Dao, which Fang Linyan decided to keep for himself. Anyway, the basic sword skills actually work on sword weapons.
Probably because it was produced in the difficult world of the gold branch mission, the attack power of this seedling knife is obviously higher, and it also has a very disgusting attribute: poison extraction.
Extraction of poison: After this weapon causes bleeding damage to the enemy, the wound will have a certain chance to be infected with toxin, causing its HP to continue to decrease, and its attack speed and movement speed to decrease by 20%.
This weapon seems to have only one additional attribute, but this additional attribute actually covers the two very important special effects of damage and deceleration.
For every space warrior, they are absolute pragmatists, and Fang Linyan is certainly no exception, so they are kept.
In the end, the miscellaneous things that were opened from these keys also sold for more than 3 general points, which made Fang Linyan's eyes soften when he looked at Xiang Hezhen.
After Wang Ping heard that Liao Hua was going to attack Qianshan Cave, he immediately made a decision to join him.
There are two reasons for this:
First of all, everyone is still in the enemy's territory at this time, and they should report to the regiment to keep warm, and then wait for the reinforcements from above.
Not only that, there are more than 200 people on Wang Ping's side, there are more than 400 people in total. The reason why the rest of them didn't come is because of lack of food. It is convenient to save people when they are full.
Therefore, the most important reason is that there is food here in the mountain cave, especially in the era of hand-to-hand combat, no matter how strong the army is without enough food, it will be abolished.
As a result, the group walked halfway and met Liao Hua who was in a hurry. It was only when the two sides met that they realized that the defense on the side of Qianshan Cave was more lax than previously imagined.
After the Shu army dressed up in disguise, they easily opened the gate of the village, and then took several captured leaders with knives around their necks and walked around the street for a few times. The people inside seemed to be honest. , It was really taken down without bloodshed.
It was precisely because of this that Liao Hua was able to spare part of his manpower to come to reinforce him.
Taking advantage of Liao Hua and Wang Ping's presence, Fang Linyan greeted them, took out a few jars of fine wine and invited them to come over for a talk, and at the same time directly talked about the current predicament of Maicheng. Both of them are battle-tested people , of course, could see the danger of Maicheng, so he fell silent immediately.
Obviously, under normal circumstances, the two should take the initiative to go to Maicheng to meet Guan Yu, but obviously that is a dead end!
Moreover, the two of them had heard about Guan Yu's character and style for a long time. They knew that most of the past words were used as cannon fodder, so silence was actually an obvious statement.
Fortunately, at this time, Fang Linyan immediately expressed his understanding with empathy, saying that the current situation in Maicheng is a big fire pit, and the two generals must not go there.
The best way to deal with it is to hide and be a surprise soldier before Wu Jun knows their existence.Only when Guan Yu breaks through the encirclement can he play his best role by playing it by ear.
Undoubtedly, what Fang Linyan said touched the hearts of the two of them, so the two parties agreed on a contact method, and Wang Ping even sent two flying pigeons to follow Fang Linyan so that the two parties could further communicate.
After some in-depth discussions, the gap between the two parties disappeared, so everyone started drinking and talking and laughing. After getting a little drunk, the usual precautions must be much less, so Fang Linyan deliberately brought the topic to the general. .
However, Liao Hua and Wang Ping told each other a lot of anecdotes about Lin Yan, even some secret things about Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others, which also benefited Fang Linyan a lot.
After doing all of this, Fang Linyan walked away and hurried towards Maicheng. Now he has two choices:
The first is to go back to join Omi and the others, and then wait for Baron Devon and Xingyi to plan a strategy, while he himself can be a squirrel with peace of mind.
The second is to directly participate in the scramble for people who escape books. In this way, Zhang Guo and Zhang Zhi can be directly dragged from the neutral side to the opposite side of Wu Jun.
But this choice has a big disadvantage, that is, once you participate in it, you will have to fight with the people sent by the Jiangdong Lu family, or even Lu Xun's personal guards.
These people are the elites of the Wu Kingdom. Once they make a move, Fang Linyan's reputation in the Wu Kingdom will definitely drop from friendly to hostile.Baron Devon and the others are not fools, so they must be aware of this and have doubts in their hearts.
(Fang Linyan's previous battle with the Shanyue people will not affect Wu's reputation, because the Shanyue people are an independent force. He beheaded the people from the Zhang family of the Wu country. This group of people came to Shanyue secretly and met Fang Linyan's survivors were also killed or arrested, so his reputation was not affected.)
After weighing the pros and cons, Fang Linyan decided to return to Omi and the others, and play by ear.I am lurking in the interior of Wu State, and if I suddenly break out at that time, maybe it will be more helpful to Zhang Guo, Zhang Zhi and others.
Thinking deeply, when I talk about the fact that people have escaped books in the team, as long as Lu Xun's side is unlucky, maybe the Arctic Circle and others will take the lead in betraying Wu.
Having been in contact for so long, Fang Linyan still knows the Arctic Circle very well. This guy's nature is actually very greedy. Almost all the time, he upholds a principle, that is, everything is based on profit.
For them, the cakes drawn by Baron Devon and others are just unknown, and whether they can eat them in their mouths is really a big question mark, and once a fetish like Ren Dunshu appears, it will undoubtedly be placed on the table. The fat braised pork in front of me, how can I choose that it is not the lice on the head of the monk, it is obvious.
***
four hours later,
The countdown to Guan Yu's breakthrough on Fang Linyan's retina has become 22 hours and 37 minutes.
At this time, he also successfully reunited with Omi and others. After a chat, he found out that the baron, in order to win everyone's trust, still produced some dry goods. For example, the core characters of each team got a card called " Jiangdong Order" token.
Those who hold this thing are equivalent to joining a secret organization called "Jiangdong Society". The leader of this organization is very mysterious, but according to speculation, it should be Sun Deng, the most ambitious eldest son among Sun Quan's sons.
Because of this, even if a group of people's reputation in the Wu army is only friendly at this time, they can use this token to receive some special tasks among the rest of the "Jiangdong Club" members in the Wu army, and these tasks It is often obtained by raising the prestige to respect or even reverence.
Under such circumstances, Omi led Max and the goat to get along well, and at the same time, they began to communicate with the group of people in the Arctic Circle very tacitly, you help me, I help you.
When Fang Linyan arrived, he watched eagerly as Omi took the goat and Max to hand in a task rated as S. The content of this task was actually very difficult. It was necessary to intercept the four Shu who fled separately within a fixed time. Army messenger.
However, with his new professional ability, Omi cleverly arranged three temporary teleportation points.Although each teleportation point can only be teleported twice, and Omi can only teleport by himself, the cost of a single teleportation is very high, and it will even cause Omi to reduce all attributes by 24% within 20 hours.
But in the end, with the tacit cooperation of the three, while intercepting five messengers from the Shu army, they also found out a traitor lurking inside the Wu army.
