Chapter 69: The Battle of the Royal Court (Part II)
Meng Tian and Zari walked to the center of the field, and the two stood ten steps apart.
Zari held the knife in both hands, stood in front of his chest, and looked directly at Meng Tian, his eyes full of murderous aura. Meng Tian held the knife in one hand, the tip of the knife was facing downward, obliquely in his hand, and he also stared at Zalihe. Although the battle belonging to these two people had not yet begun, Zhao Li, Du Hui, Ulu and the others present all felt the suffocating tension.
Zalihe moved first, his posture of holding the knife remained unchanged, his steps were brisk, and after a few steps forward quickly, he jumped high and slashed the knife in his hand towards Meng Tian. Meng Tian saw that Zali started to attack first, and it was fierce, so he didn't hurry to dodge the menacing knife on the side of his body. Seeing that a move didn't work, Zari turned the blade in his hand and continued to sweep across Meng Tian's waist. Meng Tian did a backflip and a heel, dodging the knife again.
Zalihe didn't hit Meng Tian with two knives, but he easily dodged it, but he was not discouraged, and continued to stab Meng Tian who turned over and landed with the knife in his hand. Meng Tian stood the knife in his hand horizontally in front of his chest, held the handle of the knife with one hand, and pressed the tip of the knife with the other, just using the blade to block the knife of Zarihe.
Zalihe stabbed the knife in his hand forward, pushing Meng Tian's knife out of an arc. The knife used by Zari is the heaviest knife in the court of Rong Di, this knife once split a horse alive in the hands of Zari He, so it was called the decapitation blade by the Rong Di people, in order to forge this knife, almost wasted the iron tools accumulated in the court of Rong Di for several months, but fortunately this knife played a role in Zari Together's hands, deterring the enemies around Rong Di.
Meng Tian's knife is the standard saber in the Qin army, originally Meng Tian didn't like to use a knife, but on the battlefield, it was not as convenient to kill the enemy with a sword as a sword, so Meng Tian still prepared an extra saber on Hei Feng's back. Qin's smelting technology was already very superb, and with the help of the Gongyi family, who were good at casting weapons, the quality of the weapons of the Qin army was the best among the many princes. The knife in Meng Tian's hand was specially made according to the height, arm length and strength of the Qin soldiers, the blade was flat and slender, and the blade was soft but not easy to break, so the knife was now closed into a large arc by Zari but it was still not broken.
Meng Tian looked at Zalihe in front of him, and said: "I have already given you three moves, and then it will be my turn to take the move!" Meng Tian pushed forward with both hands, caught the elasticity of the blade and bounced Zalihe away two steps, and then swept with the knife, and the blade slightly towards Zarihe's throat.
Seeing that Meng Tian began to fight back, Zari took a step back, just widening the distance between him and Meng Tian, and felt the air driven by the blade in his throat, if this knife was really cut on his neck, then I am afraid that his head would have fallen to the ground now.
Meng Tian was so powerful that he was unforgiving, and the tip of the knife was always free from the vital point of Zalihe's body, and Zarihe could only withdraw the weapon when he hit, and the sound of weapons colliding was endless.
After attacking Zalihe's moves, Meng Tian made a fierce effort and slashed Zalihe several miles away. Meng Tian withdrew the knife, continued to stand diagonally in his hand, and looked at Zarihe: "How is it, do you want to come again?"
The soldier continued to translate Meng Tian's words to Zalihe, who understood that he was really not Meng Tian's opponent after fighting with Meng Tian, but now here, for the safety of the king and queen, Zalihe could only choose to fight hard with Meng Tian. Zari held the knife in one hand, raised the other hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Come, let's continue, we will definitely divide the victory with you today." As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his knife and continued to attack Meng Tian.
Meng Tian saw that this person was so violent, and he was not afraid, since he was unwilling to listen to his own opinion, then he would no longer show mercy to his subordinates. As soon as Zalihe fought with Meng Tian this time, he felt wrong, at this time, Meng Tian had already taken out all his strength, but what he didn't expect was that Meng Tian's strength was so great.
Meng Tian exerted all his strength to fight with Zalihe, and as soon as the two fought each other this time, they were inseparable, and the people watching the battle around were not able to see the tricks of the two in the field except for Zhao Li and Du Hui.
Du Hui said to Zhao Li beside him: "Brother Zhao, it seems that this time we are indeed the right bet to block this with the young general." ”
Zhao Li paid attention to the battle situation in front of him and said: "That's right, the young general's gamble is indeed right, I think in the next few decades, the Rongdi people will not dare to go to the border of Daqin to provoke again, as long as the young general is here, the Rongdi people will not dare to step into the territory of Daqin for half a step." ”
Du Hui nodded, agreeing with Zhao Li's opinion, and the two of them paid attention to the two of them in the center of the venue again.
Meng Tian and Zalihe continued to compete for dozens of moves, Meng Tian slashed at Zalihe's stomach, Zalihe dodged, but he didn't expect Meng Tian's speed to be faster than his, when he just dodged the blade, Meng Tian stepped forward quickly, to Zalihe's back, before Zalihe could react, Meng Tian had already put the knife on Zarihe's neck.
"You lost. Meng Tian stood behind Zarihe and spoke.
After being controlled by Meng Tian with a knife, Zalihe also gave up resistance, and the scimitar in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang", Zalihe's legs weakened, and then he knelt on the ground, just in the direction he was facing was the direction where the king of Rongdi Ulu and the queen Tarim were.
Seeing that Zari had lost, King Ulu of Rongdi and Queen Tarim understood that their only straw for life had also been broken, and they couldn't help but feel weak and sat on the ground, and Queen Tarim was directly frightened and fainted.
Seeing his king's desperate expression, Zarihe knelt on the ground and said, "King, I'm sorry, the last general has been defeated, please forgive the last general for being incompetent and unable to save the king and queen." ”
Uru, the great king of Rongdi, sat on his knees, and he didn't know if he heard Zarihe's words, but he just sat there in a daze.
Meng Tian heard from Zalihe's words that the person who was surrounded in the middle, and knelt on the ground after seeing that the person who was competing with him had lost, but he didn't expect that he was actually the king of Rongdi, Ulu.
Meng Tian said to the soldier who could speak Rongdi: "Tell them that although they failed today, I will not kill them, but I want the king of Rongdi to follow us, otherwise I will kill all the women, old people and children in this royal court." ”
The soldier said this to Uru and Zalihe, who understood that the other party wanted to use his king's life as a talisman so that they could run rampant on the steppe of Rongdi. Ulu didn't react to this, maybe he was really scared stupid, kneeling on the ground and not moving.
The resistance in the royal court has been gradually eliminated, and after looting the valuable things in the royal court, Meng Tian began to order the collection of troops, and the army hurriedly rested on the spot, and set off overnight to rush back to Fushi City. Because this time he broke into the royal court of the Rongdi people, and not only that, but also captured their king, which was a shame for all the Rongdi people, so Meng Tian decided to set off overnight to rush back to Fushi, and surround himself before the enemy found out, and it would be safe to return to the range of Daqin as soon as possible.
After resting, Meng Tian ordered the people to tie up Ulu, the king of Rongdi, and Zari, who was fighting with him, and then locked them in a makeshift prison cart, ready to set off for the city of Fushi.
When he came out of the royal court, it was already dark, and Meng Tian left Rong Di's royal court with the team. This time the royal court of the Rong Di people, I believe that tomorrow morning, several large tribes of Rong Di will definitely get the news, and after getting the news, they will definitely chase and intercept their own people, so it is a step to go.
Taking advantage of the night, Meng Tian set off with the team, just like when he first came, it was still Zhao Li who led people to reconnoiter the situation in front of the team, and Du Hui was behind the palace, responding to the enemy's attack at any time. The march was not very fast due to the fact that there were two more prisoner carts in the ranks.
After a night's march, the procession marched about 300 miles, and after yesterday's day's battle and a night's march, many of the soldiers were already sleepy, and some of them fell asleep on horseback and fell off their horses. Du Hui stepped forward from the back of the team and asked Meng Tian if he could take a break, otherwise the soldiers and horses would not be able to stand it.
Meng Tian looked at a map that he had scavenged from Rong Di's royal court yesterday, and according to the distance marked on the map, it would take about four days or so to rush back to Fushi City. After listening to Du Hui's words, Meng Tian agreed, but he could only rest for two hours, and the team continued to move forward after two hours.
After a two-hour break, all the men and horses had gained strength, and then the team moved on.
After walking like this for two days in a row, getting closer and closer to the Great Wall on the border of Qin marked on the map, Meng Tian had already sent a soldier to return to Fushi first according to the route he had taken when he left the city, and he took the rest of the people to advance at a uniform speed.
On the third day, not long after the formation had just set off, Du Hui sent a soldier to report to Meng Tian that a large number of Rong Di people had been found in the distance behind the team, and they should be coming towards the king of Rong Di. After Meng Tian listened, he thought that he should have finally come, he had kidnapped the king of the Rongdi people, and the Rongdi people would definitely not give up, and the several large tribes under the Rongdi royal court would definitely not sit idly by and watch their king being taken away by the Qin people.
Meng Tian ordered Du Hui to lead a part of his men to return to Fushi City as soon as possible with Ulu and Zamuhe, and he led the army here to delay them for a while. Du Hui didn't want to go, he wanted to stay and fight with Meng Tian against the Rong Di people who were chasing.
Meng Tian looked at the flags and flying dust in the distance, and said, "Brother Du, this time you have to go first and hand over the people in the prisoner car to Uncle Wang and my father, so that it will make sense for us to risk our lives to come to the grassland this time." ”
Du Hui understood, hugged his fists and saluted Meng Tian on horseback, and then left with dozens of people pressing the prisoner cart first.
Zhao Li came to Meng Tian's side and nodded heavily at Meng Tian, Meng Tian understood what Zhao Li meant, and did not speak, and the more than three hundred Qin soldiers behind the two did not speak, quietly looking at the Rong Di chasing soldiers who were gradually approaching in the distance. Meng Tian held a spear and shouted, "Where are the soldiers of the Meng family?"
"I'll wait for this!" Zhao Li and the soldiers of the Qin Army who stayed behind also shouted loudly.
Meng Tian waved the spear forward in his hand and said, "Meng's army, follow me to break the enemy!" Then he rode the black wind and rushed towards the pursuers, Zhao Li and more than three hundred soldiers followed and charged towards the pursuers.
