The Yanmen army's confidence in attacking Lin Tian's forces was largely due to the belief that Lin Tian was severely wounded.
However, now Lin Tian appeared before them, completely unharmed, and was slaughtering their ranks in full view. This caused widespread panic.
Many among them could feel Lin Tian's immensely powerful strength.
Under such circumstances, Lin Tian's presence instilled great fear in many.
But Sima Shang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Qin's Lin Tian has finally appeared. If he hadn't shown up, I'd still be worried he might suddenly emerge from somewhere else!"
"But now that he's here, dealing with him becomes much simpler!"
"Deploy our chariots, shield bearers, and infantry as per our prior arrangements to deal with Qin's Lin Tian!"
They had long formulated a plan for Lin Tian.
While this plan might not directly kill Qin's Lin Tian, it could cause him considerable trouble.
As long as they could tie down Lin Tian, dealing with the rest of his army would become simpler.
With this thought, the Zhao army immediately sprang into action.
Lin Tian observed their movements but paid them little heed.
Instead, he led his own army and directly cut off the Zhao army's charging forces.
Lin Tian's Mandarin Duck formation closed again.
Zhao's cavalry found themselves within the formation, while their infantry remained outside.
This severance caused some to panic.
"Quick! Charge forward, don't let them close the formation!"
"Break through their formation, they're at the end of their rope!"
Such words bolstered the morale of many soldiers.
However, the Mandarin Duck formation had already closed, making it difficult to break through.
Fortunately, Sima Shang's primary target was still Lin Tian, so he was not overly concerned about breaking the Mandarin Duck formation at this moment.
At this point, a large number of chariots charged towards Lin Tian.
Compared to cavalry, chariots possessed a significantly stronger charging power.
While they lacked the agility of cavalry, their straight-line charge capability was several times greater.
Such chariots could undoubtedly break through the defenses of Lin Tian's Mandarin Duck formation with ease.
However, their current target was Lin Tian.
Seeing a large number of chariots charging towards Lin Tian, many instinctively cried out in alarm.
"General, be careful!"
"General, there are chariots!!"
A single cavalryman was no match for a chariot.
Even though many knew Lin Tian was incredibly powerful, when the chariots charged towards him, others couldn't help but worry.
However, Lin Tian's expression showed no fear; instead, he seemed eager.
"Excellent!"
The next moment, Lin Tian leaped onto his horse and then onto one of the chariots.
Warhorses typically came in pairs or fours, with differences in their size and power. Chariots pulled by four horses possessed significantly greater destructive force.
The chariots charging towards Lin Tian were all pulled by four horses, their impact force immense.
Yet, even so, Lin Tian was unwilling to harm so many warhorses.
He leaped onto a chariot, much to everyone's surprise.
The Zhao soldiers on the chariot were instantly dispatched.
As for the others, they were somewhat bewildered.
The situation unfolding was not what they had anticipated.
Fortunately, their commanders quickly regained their composure.
"Surround him, trap Lin Tian on the chariot!"
"Cast the nets, quickly cast the nets! Cover Qin's Lin Tian!"
"Trap him, we must trap him in one go!!"
The use of nets to trap Lin Tian was one of Zhao's strategies.
Their nets were like those used for fishing. While not particularly strong or made of metal wire, once they ensnared a person, they could cause endless trouble.
For Lin Tian, they had prepared fifty layers of nets.
Those responsible for casting the nets were skilled fishermen.
Their casts were not only precise but also could accurately cover their prey.
Once they trapped Lin Tian on the chariot or restricted his movements, they would have a chance to kill him.
As a large number of nets were cast, many immediately understood.
Lin Tian was being targeted!
This filled many with anxiety.
In an army, anyone could fall, but Lin Tian could not.
Therefore, Wang Wu and others shouted:
"General, retreat quickly!!"
"General, be careful, the enemy has an ambush!"
"Quick! Protect the general!"
Some wanted Lin Tian to retreat, while others wanted to move forward to protect him.
Clearly, they had realized Lin Tian's peril.
But at this moment, Lin Tian was not worried at all.
In fact, he seemed almost dazed, standing on the chariot with no action.
He simply watched as all the fishing nets were cast towards him.
The dense mass of fishing nets made many people's hearts race.
Many wondered if the nets would actually trap Lin Tian.
Even Sima Shang couldn't help but feel tense.
However, in the next moment, Lin Tian calmly drew his sword and began slashing at the nets swarming around him.
These nets were not made of copper wire, and coupled with Lin Tian's genuine treasure sword, they were easily cut apart.
Even with fifty sets of nets prepared by Sima Shang, they had no impact on Lin Tian.
After a few swings of his sword, many even saw the nets seeming to actively avoid Lin Tian, parting to his sides.
Lin Tian's effortless resolution of the nets was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
However, the Zhao army's attack did not cease.
After the nets were cast, numerous spearmen, armed with long spears, lunged towards Lin Tian.
Behind these spearmen were a large number of shield bearers.
Their objective was to completely corner Lin Tian and restrict his killing prowess.
As long as they could restrain Lin Tian, their goals would become simpler.
However, their plans were grand, but reality was entirely different from their imagination.
By the time their spearmen reached Lin Tian, he had already severed the sharpest tips of their spears.
Without hesitation, he then charged into the crowd.
Once Lin Tian engaged them, the spearmen were essentially offering themselves up to die with their spears.
As for the shield bearers, although they tried to block Lin Tian, their shields were like a joke before him.
With a single swing, Lin Tian cleaved through their shields.
He then killed the shield bearer.
At this moment, many shield bearers wondered if their shields were made of mere grass roots, to be so easily shattered.
However, no one provided them with an answer.
Lin Tian's charge into their midst was like a dragon entering the sea, unstoppable.
