Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Li Tai and his party were not a large group, and the military drum they carried was not a big drum, but at this time, the drum was the only one near the post that was loud, and every beat and every sound of the drum was breathtaking.

Of the five hundred armored soldiers, two hundred were mounted on their horses, each carrying a bow and sword, and were arranged on the two wings. The rest were arrayed in front of the post with guns. After the array was completed, they remained silent except for a few soldiers. Still beating the drum.

Yang Ling's Buqu on the opposite side was not as orderly as Li Tai's Buqu. They all heard Li Tai's orders just now. They were used to being domineering in the county all year round and developed an arrogant character. They immediately took this as a provocation. , they all yelled and cursed loudly.

Some soldiers even crossed the line and mounted their horses in an attempt to intimidate and shake up the opposing battle formation. Yang Ling did not stop this, and wanted to use these actions to test the quality of Li Tai's troops.

Some of the soldiers rushed within a few feet of the opponent's line, but the soldiers in the opponent's formation seemed not to notice it. Only the archers at the core of the formation raised their bows and arrows, aiming at the noisy ones. The harassing Di soldiers were still attracted but did not shoot.

Seeing this scene, Yang Ling couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He is also a veteran of the powerful chieftains here who has been in the army for a long time. You can probably tell whether an army is brave or not, but when he saw Li Tai's army's immobile military formation, he already knew that this was a tough nut to crack. bone.

Although Yang Ling was not afraid of fighting, he still knew that if he wanted to fight with him, he had to be prepared to suffer heavy casualties, which was far from the previous situation when he was fighting against the powerful powers in the county.

As soon as the drum sounded, a general came forward and said to Yang Ling in a low voice with a solemn face: "My lord, this guest army does not look like an ordinary army. If you want to win quickly, you must attack more and attack less. It’s better to go to the left to defend and then send troops over..."

"nonsense!"

Without waiting for the general to finish speaking, Yang Ling rebuked in a deep voice. He was just trying to show off his prestige, and he did not really want to cause rebellion. The current situation could be said to be a coincidence and no offense was intended. If he really mobilized a large number of troops, Having surrounded and suppressed Dugu Xin's son-in-law, he was really tired of life.

But his subordinate's words also reminded him that he still couldn't really start a fight. If the opponent is just a weak force that can be easily dealt with, it would be fine, but looking at this posture, I don't think so. Even if they barely win, not only will they lose their troops, but they will also make the local tycoons here who are watching the fun laugh.

Before he could figure out what to do, the second tom had already sounded.

Hearing the annoying drum sound, cold sweat broke out on Yang Ling's forehead. Because his courage was no longer strong, his thoughts suddenly became more chaotic, and all kinds of worried thoughts emerged from his mind.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, that young general, let the drum order stop first! I am not afraid of fighting, but I have no grudge against Li Sanqi, and I don't want my son's life to be lost in this dispute. Li Sanqi may have been deceived by the evil countrymen, and he is treating me. There was a misunderstanding..."

Taking advantage of the pause in the second drum call, Yang Ling hurriedly shouted loudly, but felt that saying so seemed to weaken his momentum, so he pointed at Li Tai and shouted angrily: "Don't rely on this, you ignorant young general. Shangguan is in a position of authority and looks down on the heroes of Longbian! I will not bully you, but I will send the brave and good fighters in your team to fight with me. Life or death depends on your fate. Do you dare to accept the challenge?"

Li Tai immediately became happy when he heard this. It seemed that this guy was not completely bold and unscrupulous. Before he could reply, Zhang Shinu beside him had already raised his sword and said in a deep voice: "Master Lang, let me I took my sword and went to cut off this bitch’s head!”

"No need!"

Li Tai shook his head, raised the horse in his hand and pointed at the opponent in the distance. While riding the horse out of the battle, he said in a deep voice: "Keep beating the drum. If the drum stops, we will fight!"

Seeing Li Tai riding out to fight, Yang Ling's heart was relaxed. But when he heard the third drum ringing, he suddenly became furious. He pointed at Li Tai and roared: "You kid is teasing me! It's you today." Death time!"

As he spoke, he hit his horse and rushed straight towards Li Tai. The two-edged spear in his hand went straight into Li Tai's chest like a poisonous snake spitting a message. At the moment when the two cavalry were approaching at great speed, it stabbed straight into Li Tai's chest.

The horse spear in Li Tai's hand was not idle either. He turned a blind eye to the spear blade that was stabbing his chest, and only thrust the spear blade towards the opponent, as if both sides were harmed.

If they hit each other hard, they might not all be directly pierced by the opponent's weapon. However, the horse in Li Tai's hand is actually nearly two feet longer than the opponent's weapon. Although the length of these two feet is in actual situations, especially When the inertia is huge, it is difficult to make an effective response in time, but it can give people a huge psychological advantage.

Yang Ling saw that the sharp edge in his field of vision was getting clearer and clearer, and he panicked in his heart. After all, he did not dare to face it directly. Taking advantage of the fact that his strength was not exhausted, he leaned back and thrust the two-edged spear back into his chest. He moved forward, turned his arms vigorously from right to left, and then used the tail edge of the spear to hit Li Tai's ribs with his original intention to block the attack.

boom!

Following a dull thud, Yang Ling felt the arms holding the spear body in front of him shake violently. The mouth of the two hands surrounding the spear shaft was numb and hot, accompanied by a tearing pain, which was stored in his arms. The force of the diagonal thrust was completely shattered, and the originally tense left arm muscles were numb and aching, but they were unable to exert any force.

Li Tai's attack here was in vain, and the front end of the horse's horse bounced up uncontrollably. He had to use both arms at the same time to circle the horse in front of him to resist the enemy's counterattack. He couldn't help but secretly sigh at this Di chieftain. Yang Ling really has some arrogance.

Although he is not a peerless warrior with extraordinary talents, he is also a heroic man who can fight alone without taking a breath. In recent years, he has been training hard and his arm strength has been steadily improving. The first blow before a battle is the moment when the fighting spirit is fullest. Not many people survive this.

This Yang Ling was just a little-known ordinary Di chief in Longbian. His ability to withstand blows was quite good. He didn't even grunt after being hit by himself.

Thoughts were racing in his mind. The two horses were already moving apart at high speed. Li Tai clamped the horse's body with his left leg and used the sideways gallop to remove the straight inertia, but he didn't have time to turn around and fight back. The sound of galloping horses' hooves from behind was already coming from far away at a rapid speed.

After charging back so quickly, the opponent obviously stopped and turned hard on the war horse. Although this approach can slightly gain the upper hand, the damage to the war horse is extremely great. Even if the war horse is well-trained, it will only increase the damage. Resistance to damage burden is not exempt.

Yang Ling, who hurriedly fought back, was aware of his own suffering. Only after he regained his balance from the horse did he feel the cramping pain between the ribs of his back.

He also has some fighting skills, but the most basic thing is to use one force to defeat ten. He hastily changed his position with that blow just now, and he has already lost the initiative. He completely withstood the opponent's powerful blow, but the strength was beyond It exceeded his ability to withstand it, and although it did not cause him any visible injuries, the numbness and pain from his arms to his waist had already announced that his condition was rapidly declining.

Unexpectedly, a young general who looked like an embroidered pillow could have such terrifying combat power. Yang Ling was shocked for a moment. However, the current critical situation did not allow him to think about it any further. He could only hope to seize the opportunity and rely on his strength. Rich combat experience enables quick victory.

A strong wind was blowing behind him, but Li Tai still didn't turn around to face the enemy. The grown-up Ma Shan really couldn't do anything like a carbine, so Li Tai could only glance sideways and saw the cold and sharp spear. The sharp edge was already stabbing directly at his shoulder and neck.

When there was no chance of anything happening, he threw away the horse spear in his hand, leaned down to avoid a spear, and drew out the saber, hanging it on the side of the horse, avoiding the dangerous situation of being directly used as a sharp edge. But Yang Ling relied on the advantage of his weapon and rode after him, following him like a shadow. His two-edged spear stabbed, picked, and pecked left and right, but he didn't give Li Tai more time to react.

Li Taiji tried to deceive him, but was avoided by Yang Ling. The sword in his hand was useless except for blocking the attack, so he simply discarded the sword. Looking for an opportunity, he held one end of Yang Ling's spear with both hands, and then used force Drag it back.

Yang Ling knew that Li Tai's arms were strong, and he panicked immediately after the weapon was grasped. He clenched his hands tightly, but then a huge force pulled him to the opposite side. The pain in his arms still lingered, and he was fighting against himself. It was so strenuous that I hurriedly clamped the horse's belly, trying to make the horse charge sideways to release its force.

Li Tai didn't stand still when he saw this, and his hands holding the spear did not relax. The war horse under his crotch was running in the same direction as the enemy. When he got a slight lead, he gave another violent swing.

Yang Ling felt his body light up, as if he was flying into the sky. In panic, he subconsciously lowered his head and looked down. When he saw the saddle and the back of the horse were still close to his crotch, he felt a little at ease in his heart. However, he soon realized that something was wrong, and he concentrated again. Looking at it, the war horse under his crotch and himself were thrown into the air, and a panicked roar suddenly came from his mouth.

No matter how strong Li Tai's arms were, he certainly couldn't throw both the man and the horse away. It's just that Yang Ling's horse had already suffered a serious sprain due to the sudden pause before. And was taken advantage of the situation to fly up.

With a loud bang, Yang Ling and his horse fell to the ground. The horse vomited blood and neighed. While he was enduring the dizziness of spinning around, he was about to struggle to get up. There was already a cold object stuck in his neck. It was the two things he had lost. Blade spear.

At the same time, the sound of the third drum also stopped abruptly. Yang Ling's subordinates were still horrified that their master had fallen into the enemy's hands. They were at a loss for a while. They wanted to rescue but did not dare to do anything.

However, Li Tai's subordinates still remembered the previous order. When the drum order stopped, the cavalry on both wings rushed straight towards the opponent's formation like arrows. Zhang Shinu and others rushed into the field with quick eyes and hands. Li Tai, who restrained Yang Ling with a spear, protected him.

"Dismount, abandon your weapon, quickly, quickly!"

At this moment, Yang Ling finally came around from the dizziness and shock. Seeing that his formation had been attacked and in chaos, he shouted hurriedly, buried his head in the dust and kowtowed again and again: "I am guilty of my humble position. I beg Li Sanqi to spare his life..." …”
