Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 78 Classic Problem - Martial Arts Masters Encounter a Large Group of Soldiers

The Songyang Sect is a famous and upright sect, and there are many things they would never do, such as using extremely brutal means to deal with ordinary people. Sun Yanwan solved the problem with just a few words, which really saved a lot of trouble.

The two returned to their residence. Sun Yanwan asked the servants of the Tianji Sun family and the Nanmeng family to guard the gate and not let anyone from Chengjiazhuang in. Those people were afraid that they would just leave, so they didn't dare to make a fuss, and they finally had some peace and quiet.

After all, Sun Yanwan came from a world of overwhelming online news. There were countless "classic battle examples" of various ancient small-scale wars to learn from, and he knew countless clever methods. But after yesterday, he also realized that many methods were just talk and could be easily cracked and were useless.

The most reliable person in their group is Zhang Ji's martial arts.

Sun Yanwan pondered for a long time and said, "Brother Zhang, how about we try to persuade him to surrender?"

Zhang Ji was startled and said, "We can't accept bandits like the Blood Wolf Riders, whose hands are covered in blood."

Sun Yanwan sighed and said, "I just want to trick them into surrendering before killing them."

Zhang Ji was even more frightened and tried to persuade him, but Sun Yanwan spoke for him, saying, "Killing prisoners has always been considered unlucky. This method is a bit like destroying your family line." Rejecting his own bad idea, Sun Yanwan scratched his head and said, "In that case, there is no other way."

He suddenly remembered the two round shields he had brought back yesterday and said, "Or else, let's go out and lure the Blood Wolf Riders to shoot their arrows."

"I picked up two round shields yesterday, which are perfect for defending against a hail of arrows."

"Let me go out for a stroll and see how many arrows I can use up from the Blood Wolf Riders."

Zhang Ji was worried about his junior brother and said, "Why don't I go instead?"

Sun Yanwan would definitely not let Zhang Ji go out and take risks. Even though he killed seven assassins, there was no guarantee that the mastermind behind the scenes had other tricks up his sleeve. He pondered for a long time, with all kinds of thoughts running through his mind, and he always wanted to come up with a solution to the problem.

In fact, the problem they encountered was a classic one - a martial arts master encountered a large number of officers and soldiers.

Fighting alone or in a small group, ordinary soldiers are like chicks in front of martial arts masters. They can be easily killed by raising their hands or feet. But if a large group of officers and soldiers form a formation, surround, engage in a melee, charge, and shoot arrows at will, many martial arts methods will be useless. Their martial arts will be suppressed and difficult to display. Unless they are above the innate realm and have protective true qi, or have practiced external martial arts to become extremely powerful and wear heavy armor, they can compete with the army.

Although the Blood Wolf Riders were horse bandits, they already had the rudiments of an army.

At this moment, Yu Jinting suddenly ran over, panting, and shouted, "The Blood Wolf Riders have escaped."

Sun Yanwan was shocked and asked, "Why did he run away?"

However, he didn't know that the Blood Wolf Cavalry retreated ten miles and became nervous after waiting for them for a long time without seeing them come out. They mistakenly thought that the Songyang Sect would soon receive reinforcements. The seven assassins they had relied on were killed by Zhang Ji and Sun Yanwan. How could they have the courage to stay?

After some discussion, several leaders decided to "retreat".

Sun Yanwan and Zhang Ji went out to take a look. They found that the Blood Wolf Riders had indeed left their camp behind, leaving nothing unpacked. Their retreat was extremely chaotic. Sun Yanwan was immediately delighted. He shouted, "Senior Brother Zhang, let's go give them a try."

Zhang Ji knew this was a great opportunity and agreed immediately.

Yu Jinting, eager for revenge, shouted, "I'm familiar with the surrounding terrain and can lead the way for Master and the two uncles."

Sun Yanwan went to find Sun Lingdie and borrowed several long weapons and five strong horses from the servants of the Tianji Sun family. He chose a spear, took the bow and arrow he had borrowed before, and hung seven quivers on the horse's buttocks, densely packed with collected arrows.

Zhang Ji smiled at the sight of him so fully armed, and he too took a horse and a spear. Linghu Shao chose a long sword; while its weight wasn't quite right for him, it was far more effective than a light sword for hunting down bandits and engaging in fierce battles on horseback.

Ding Fenxiu was in a dilemma. The sword technique of shrinking the earth that she was proficient in was of little use in this kind of military battle. She was too small to have any suitable long weapons.

Sun Yanwan was quick-witted and immediately thought of an unpopular weapon that had never appeared in this world. He borrowed two throwing knives from Sun Lingdie, strung them together with a long rope, and made a set of rope darts. He demonstrated the rope dart technique to Ding Fenxiu according to the one practiced by a certain senior sister, Teacher Han Liang, who he had seen on Bilibili.

Although he was also a novice, in the eyes of martial arts masters like them, the rope dart technique was not a difficult skill. After getting familiar with the new weapon, Ding Fenxiu was very happy and had a better impression of Sun Yanwan on the spot.

Before leaving, Sun Yanwan handed Linghu Shao a pair of round shields he had picked up and said, "This shield is very convenient for defending against arrows."

"This time they're coming for Fenxiu. Who knows if there are other assassins lurking out there? You have to protect nephew Ding."

Although Linghu Shao was extremely unconvinced and wanted to refute her, Sun Yanwan's logic was so clear that he racked his brains but couldn't think of a single rebuttal. He was unable to open his mouth, feeling frustrated and helpless.

Linghu Shao thought about it over and over again, and felt deeply: "Sun Yanwan is right!"

"Fenxiu doesn't have to have someone to protect him?"

Sun Yanwan handed the other shield to Yu Jinting and said, "Keep one as well to protect yourself. You can't just come to Songyang Sect to report the news and then not be able to return. Your master and I must bring you back, otherwise how can we explain to your mother?"

Sun Yanwan didn't expect that the round shield he picked up on a whim, although he didn't use it, was not wasted either.

He also gave Sun Lingdie and Namco a few words of advice, asking them to protect themselves and not be careless, and to practice the necessary qualities of a scumbag. Then he mounted his horse, took Zhang Ji, Linghu Shao, Ding Fenxiu and Yu Jinting out of Chengjiazhuang, and chased after the Blood Wolf Cavalry.

The horses used by the five people were all good horses from the Tianji Sun family. They were very strong and caught up with the retreating Blood Wolf Cavalry in less than half a day.

Sun Yanwan bent his bow and shot seven arrows in a row, but only one hit the target, and the other six arrows fell into the air.

He learned his swordsmanship in a kyudo gym. He could shoot accurately from a standing position, but it was completely different from shooting from horseback. His performance was far below standard when he was on horseback.

This was because his Golden Sinew and Jade Bone Fist had made another breakthrough. All twenty-four meridians had reached the level of vital energy, and his body coordination, balance, and stability had greatly improved. Otherwise, even if he shot a hundred arrows, he might not be able to hit a single one.

Seeing the Blood Wolf Riders in disarray, Sun Yanwan feared they might turn around and launch a bloody charge. He hurriedly shouted, "Brother Zhang Ji, there are so many Blood Wolf Riders, we can't kill them all. How about killing a dozen or so to vent our anger and then heading back?"

Zhang Ji thought, "Why not? Junior Brother Sun, do you want me to kill you for you to see?"

The leader of the Blood Wolf Riders had the idea of ​​turning back to fight and finish the battle. After hearing Sun Yanwan's wild shout, he urged his mounts on. The other Blood Wolf Riders all had the same thought in their minds: "The death of a few useless people who fell behind is not a big deal."

　I still have to ask for monthly tickets. Today the monthly tickets are not increasing. I’m sad...

　　Please vote for the monthly ticket.

　　Otherwise, when the new book is put on the shelves, the monthly votes will be very ugly...
