Fenghou

Chen Qing suddenly became interested, and asked again: "Is there anything unusual about this sword?"

"It goes without saying that this sword is sharp. It cuts iron like mud. The most amazing thing is that there are seven dimples on the body of the sword. When the sword is drawn, a cold light will connect the seven dimples into one, which coincides with the Big Dipper in the sky, so it is called Seven Star Sword, I didn't expect this sword to be in the hands of Cao Baozong."

"He is the Great General of Xixia, it is normal to get this sword!"

Chen Qing immediately ordered: "Bring the pen and ink!"

The soldiers brought pens and ink, and Chen Qing wrote four words on the back of the letter, "As you wish!" '.

Hand it over to the soldier, "Shoot the letter back!"

The soldier shot out with an arrow, and the Xixia messenger picked up the letter and ran away.

Yang Zaixing was a little worried: "Does Dutong really want to make this bet with him?"

Chen Qing glanced at him and smiled, "Why, General Yang has no confidence?"

"Of course I have confidence, but the opponent wants to win two out of three battles. Gao Ding has had diarrhea for the past two days, and his body is very weak. Either Liu Cui or General Niu Gao will go into battle. I don't feel very sure!"

Chen Qing chuckled, "Don't worry! What about me? If I lose, it doesn't matter if I give this Fang Tian's painted halberd to the other party."

Yang Zaixing muttered in a low voice: "You are the coach, how can you get out so easily."

Zhang Xiao also persuaded: "Since this plan was proposed by the other party, he must have capable people under his command, and none of them should underestimate the enemy."

Chen Qing nodded, "Joining the army is a good reminder, General Yang, feel free to fight, I will use bows and arrows to fight for you!"

……

Of course, Cao Baojin was not overheated. Before he went south, he decided to fight a protracted confrontation with the Song army, and the most important thing in a protracted confrontation was morale. He needed to boost morale and attack the morale of the enemy.

He has three rare fierce generals under his command, all of whom are the best in the Xixia military competition, and they are the commanders of the iron kite army beside the emperor Li Qianshun.

One, Wei, named Abao, wields a sixty-pound closed-door door knife. The knife is fierce and powerful, and once chopped off a healthy ox with one knife.

The other is Li Chenghuang, who is the descendant of Li Yuanhao, the founding emperor of Xixia. He can barely be regarded as a royal family. The first fierce general, Yelu Dashi, was defeated by him.

The last person is Zhuo Baihao, a Huihe man who wields a sixty-jin single-handled copper hammer. He has a figure like a black bear. He was Li Qianshun's personal bodyguard, and he was invited out by Cao Baojin.

It is precisely because of these three people that Cao Baojin took the initiative to challenge Chen Qing. If he could take this opportunity to kill Chen Qing, it would be a great thing. Army morale also has huge benefits.

Seeing Chen Qing's reply, he was overjoyed and said, "Order the army to rest early, and the drum will sound at five o'clock tomorrow!"

The Xixia army rested early, and Cao Baojin's big tent was still brightly lit.

Counselor Li Taiyue said: "Tomorrow's first battle is very important. I guess it's either Yang Zaixing or Gao Ding. The two of them use guns and are skilled in martial arts. I suggest that Li Chenghuang lead the first battle. If the first battle is won, then the second battle Let Zhuo Baihao play. If we lose in the first round, then Zhuo Baihao will play in the second round. I guess Zhuo Baihao can move back to the first round. If there is a third round, let Zhuo Baihao play. It is recommended that he use a hidden weapon, the third battle is probably Chen Qing himself, so the third battle is the most critical."

"What does the military division mean to say that Ah Bao is not allowed to go into battle?"

"Although Ah Bao is powerful, he is not so confusing. He is not as unpredictable as Zhuo Baihao."

"Simply let Zhuo Baihao play in the first round!"

"No! The first round must be played by Li Chenghuang."

Li Taiyue denied it outright, and said a few words to Cao Baojin in a low voice.

Cao Baojin was shocked, "Did Li Chenghuang say it himself?"

Mrs. Li nodded.

Cao Baojin stroked his beard happily and said, "In that case, use the military division's plan tomorrow!"

……

'Boom!Boom!Boom! The drums of the Xixia army camp were loud, and [-] Xixia troops walked out in a line, and formed a formation about [-] steps away from the city gate.

At this time, the drums of the Song army were also loud, and groups of soldiers rushed to the top of the city, neatly lined up on the top of the city, with battle flags flying on the top of the city, spears shining coldly, soldiers with bright armor and high morale.

The suspension bridge of the city gate has been put down, and the city gate is slowly opened. Inside the city gate, three generals, Yang Zaixing, Liu Cui, and Niu Gao, are all in shining armor, holding weapons in their hands and eager to try. Gao Ding is not in good health today, although He repeatedly asked to join the battle, but was rejected by Chen Qing.

Chen Qing said solemnly to the three of them: "I will decide which of you three will fight. No one can leave the city without my order!"

"Follow the order!"

The three bowed together.

Chen Qing turned around and went up to the top of the city. A soldier greeted him and said, "Du Tong, the enemy general is gone."

Chen Qing walked to the edge of the battlements and looked down, only to see a 1.9-meter-tall Xixia general holding an iron spear, majestic, and someone behind him held up a big sign saying General Li Chenghuang.

Chen Qing nodded. It seemed that the visitor was not friendly, so he immediately ordered: "General Yang Zaixing goes to battle!"

Chen Qing took his precious bow, drew out an arrow, and waited for the shot in an emergency.

Yang Zaixing galloped out from the city gate, holding the golden dragon spear in his hand, and went straight to the enemy general.

Chapter 426

Li Chenghuang was about [-] years old, and he started practicing martial arts at the age of ten. His marksmanship came from a captured Song general, and this Song general was deeply taught by Yang Wenguang.

Speaking of which, Li Chenghuang's marksmanship has a lot to do with the Yang family's spear, but he is extremely talented, and after five years of learning the spear, he defeated his master who taught him.

He continued to visit famous teachers in various places, and incorporated the essence of various marksmanship into his own marksmanship, gradually forming a school of his own. When he was 23 years old, he fought fiercely with Yelu Dashi, the number one general in Liao Kingdom, in Xijing, Liao Kingdom. After thirty rounds, he stabbed Yelu Dashi's horse to death with one shot, and Yelu Dashi fell from the horse and surrendered.

Since then, he has become famous in Xixia, and was appointed by the emperor Li Qianshun as the general of the second battalion of the iron kite. In last year's Xixia tribe and army competition, he won the leader and became the number one warrior.

However, the five personal guards around Li Qianshun, including Zhuo Baihao, did not participate in the competition, so the gold content of Li Chenghuang's number one warrior was still a bit short.

Today Li Chenghuang didn't wear the heavy armor of the iron kite, but a long body chain mail with the edges covering the knees, making him look very slender.

"Who is coming?" Li Chenghuang pointed his iron gun at Yang Zaixing and asked.

"Your grandfather Yang Zaixing!"

Yang Zaixing heard the sound, and stabbed Li Chenghuang's throat with a spear. His marksmanship was so fast that he took a deep breath in his heart, and he must overwhelm Gao Ding's return of the carbine.

When Li Chenghuang heard that the opponent was indeed Yang Zaixing, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He tilted his head, the tip of the gun brushed past his neck, and his big iron gun slammed towards Yang Zaixing's waist. Master told He, the weak point of the Yang family spear is at the waist, using the spear as a whip, he can hit the opponent nine times out of ten.

Yang Zaixing was taken aback, the other party actually grabbed his weak waist, Yang's gun mainly relied on his waist to exert force, if his long spear was not retracted, his waist would not be able to exert strength.

In the nick of time, he threw off the stirrup with his left foot, and his body got into the belly of the horse. If he fell off the horse, he would lose, but he learned a trick from the Jurchen, sticking it to the belly of the horse. This is a new skill he learned last year from practicing horse belly arrows. Trick, I didn't expect to use it at this critical moment today.

Li Chenghuang shot the air, and the two horses passed by each other, but he stabbed Yang Zaixing's horse's hind leg with his backhand. If this shot hit, Yang Zaixing's horse would definitely fall to the ground with a broken bone.

At this time, Yang Zaixing's Beaulieu Golden Spear swept across the air, and the two spear heads collided in the air, 'Dang! With a sound, Li Chenghuang's iron spear was swung away, and Yang Zaixing's horse galloped away.

Yang Zaixing turned over and returned to the saddle again. The round just happened at the moment when the rabbit rose and the falcon landed. Both sides completed it in one breath. The move of the gun and the hammer is like a stroke of magic, which defuses the killing blow.

Yang Zaixing regained his composure for a while, and took a deep look at the opponent. The Panlong golden spear stabbed at the opponent like a storm, and the opponent also attacked with attack, without losing the wind in the slightest.

Gao Ding sighed lightly and said, "Yang Zaixing is a bit dangerous in this round."

Chen Qing frowned, "They seem to have similar marksmanship!"

"It's not just very similar, it's exactly the same. The other party is also using the Yang Family Spear. The spear hammer that Yang Zaixing threw earlier was the ultimate move of the Hu Family Spear, and it only broke the opponent's sure-kill shot. Otherwise, Yang Zaixing's war horse just now would be over."

"But the two seem to be rivals at chess, why is Yang Zaixing in danger?"

Gao Ding smiled wryly and said: "Yang Zaixing will not study how to break the Yang family spear, but the other party will study it. The move of sweeping Yang Zaixing with the spear as a whip just now was aimed at the weakness of the Yang family spear. Yang Zaixing's martial arts should have been He is above the opponent, but the opponent knows his weakness, and after a long time, he will be hard to guard against."

"Will it be fatal?"

"I don't know the humble job!"

Chen Qingshan stood behind the battlements, and slowly raised his bow and arrow...

The two sides soon fought for fifty rounds. The drums on both sides were like thunder, and the soldiers shouted like crazy. The two horses staggered and stabbed at the other side's horses at the same time to retreat. The tricks of the two sides were exactly the same.

"Crack!"

"puff!"

Yang Zaixing suddenly realized that he had been duped. The other party was prepared. The upper part of the horse's leg was covered with thick leather. This shot could stab the horse, but it couldn't pierce the horse's leg. He was miserable.

Li Chenghuang's horse suffered flesh wounds, but did not fall down, but Yang Zaixing's horse's hind leg was pierced by a big iron spear.

The war horse screamed and fell to the ground, crushing Yang Zaixing under him.

Yang Zaixing lost this battle, but this was not a friendly match, it was a one-on-one duel. Li Chenghuang was overjoyed and urged his horse to charge towards Yang Zaixing, stabbing him in the throat.

Yang Zaixing tried his best to get away, but it was too late, he could only let out a long sigh, closed his eyes and waited for death.

At this critical moment, a spiked arrow shot from the top of the city, the speed was too fast, and the time came before his eyes. Li Chenghuang was shocked, ignoring Yang Zaixing, and suddenly lowered his head, 'Crack! ' An arrow shot through the helmet.

The helmet flew out, exposing Li Chenghuang's bald head. At this time, Yang Zaixing had pulled out, ran a few steps quickly, picked up the spear on the ground, and ran towards the city gate.

Li Chenghuang still wanted to catch up, but the second shot came, and the arrow hit the horse's leg. The horse neighed and fell to the ground, throwing Li Chenghuang a foot away. He had no chance to kill Yang Zaixing, so he had to watch helplessly. Watching Yang Zaixing rush into the city gate, he was so angry that he punched the ground hard.

Xixia soldiers hissed loudly, extremely dissatisfied with the illegal shooting of arrows at the top of the city, and the drums of the war drums were rumbling loudly.

Li Chenghuang walked back and clasped his fists to Cao Baozong, saying: "The humble job invites you to fight for the second battle, and you must kill General Song with your hands, and let out a breath of evil in my heart!"

Cao Baozong glanced at Li Taiyue, the military adviser, and Li Taiyue nodded slowly. The victory in the first round was due to an accident, so he made slight adjustments to push Zhuo Baihao to the last round, killing Song Jun by surprise.

When Cao Baozong saw the military division nodding his head, he happily said, "Quasi-war!"

……

Yang Zaixing entered the city and knelt down on one knee to thank Chen Qing: "Thank you Dutong for saving the life of this humble official in a critical moment!"

Chen Qing asked with concern: "Your leg was held down by the horse, so you're not hurt?"

Yang Zaixing sighed, and said with shame on his face: "There is no problem with the legs, but the humble job actually lost."

"You lost to the opponent's despicable tricks. You stabbed the horse's leg, but the horse didn't fall down. What is the horse's leg tied to?"

"It should be tied with two layers of leather, but the other party can also know the Yang family gun, which is really beyond my expectation."

"But do you think why?"

Yang Zaixing nodded, "It should be my uncle Yang Wenguang's proud disciple Wang Lei, the commander of the Western Army, who was captured by Xixia during the Zhenghe period. There is no more news. Only he can teach such a brilliant Yang family gun."

At this time, a soldier came running and said, "That Li Chenghuang changed his horse and came to challenge again."

Yang Zaixing said anxiously: "Dutong, do you want to give the humble official another chance?"

Chen Qing looked into his eyes and said, "Have you studied how to break the Yang Family Spear?"

Yang Zaixing lowered his head and was speechless, how could he decipher his family's marksmanship?That is disrespect to the ancestors.

"So I'll come for the second round!" Chen Qing said lightly.

Liu Cui and Niu Gao were shocked, "Du Tong, it should be us!"

Chen Qingdao: "The other party's request for a one-on-one duel is indeed prepared. They are not the generals of the army. You are not Yang Zaixing's opponents, and naturally you are not Li Chenghuang's opponents. If we lose in the second round, our morale will be greatly damaged. Apart from me, No one can go up."

"Dutong, let me go!" Gao Ding stood up and said.

"Your current state is not as good as Liu Cui, next time!"

The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "You don't want to fight anymore, everyone has made up their minds, let him fight!"

Yang Zaixing saw that Du Tong had made up his mind, so he said, "I would like to hold my bow and serve as Du Tong's escort!"

"can!"

Chen Qing readily agreed, turned around and shouted, "Bring my Fang Tian's painting halberd!"

Chapter 427

In a moment, [-] cavalry rushed out from the city, all of them brightly armored and full of murderous intent, including Liu Cui and Niu Gao who were also hiding among them, while Yang Zaixing and Gao Ding, two masters, guarded both sides of the city with bows and arrows. Qing was killed on the spot, so there was nothing to say. If he didn't kill him the first time, there would never be a second chance.

Cao Baozong couldn't bear the excitement in his heart, and Chen Qing went out in person. He hurriedly said to the soldiers: "Go and tell General Li, capture Chen Qing alive, he will be promoted to three ranks, and he will be rewarded ten thousand yuan!"

The soldiers galloped forward to inform Li Chenghuang. Li Chenghuang looked suspiciously at the Song army general in front of him. He always thought that Chen Qing was at least 40 or [-] years old, but he didn't expect to be so young, a few years younger than Yang Zaixing just now.

"You...you are Chen Qing?" Li Chenghuang asked in disbelief.

"Of course!"

Chen Qing waved Fang Tian's painted halberd lightly, and a powerful murderous aura struck Li Chenghuang.

Li Chenghuang knew that he had encountered a strong opponent today, he gritted his teeth, urged his horse to charge, and pierced Chen Qing's chest with a spear like lightning.

Chen Qing was not in a hurry, Fang Tianhua halberd swung the tip of the spear away, and the tip of the halberd pierced the opponent's throat. It seemed a very simple move, but the tip of the halberd reached Li Chenghuang's throat in an instant as if it was not bound by space. Li Chenghuang was so startled that he lay back and avoided the fatal blow.

But he forgot that the opponent was Fang Tian's painted halberd, with a sharp halberd blade on each side. Chen Qing fought with both arms, and with a twist of his wrist, he turned a stab into a gouge. This tactic has been used very skillfully in actual combat.

A cold light flashed, 'Crack! Li Chenghuang's neck was cut off by a slash, his head fell to the ground, and the horse was frightened, dragging a headless corpse and running towards the opponent's formation.

There was no sound on the battlefield, everyone gasped, and after meeting each other, Li Chenghuang was beheaded, just now he had fought fiercely with Yang Zaixing for fifty rounds!
