Chapter 709: Beast Fighting Show
Soon in the center of the Colosseum was a large arena of sufficient size, slightly higher than knee-high muddy water, about the height of a finger.
In order to ensure safety, a knee-high fence has been built near the Colosseum, and a double wooden fence has been installed on top of the fence, which is higher than the waist of an adult, so there will be absolutely no problem in terms of safety.
Moreover, the depth of the Colosseum is not large, only three or four meters high, and there is knee-high muddy water in it, and anyone who falls down will not be killed, let alone drowned, after all, it is only knee-deep.
"Li Shilang, is this a martial arts competition? Put on such a big formation. ”
In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, the army will often hold fighting competitions, and the Colosseum in front of you is similar to the competition field, but the scale is too large, and the competition and fighting only need a small space.
"Go south, you just watch the excitement first, if you really want to play later, the official won't stop you, haha!"
Li An replied with a smile, and asked some of his subordinates who had not yet taken their seats to sit down quickly.
All the subordinates, according to the level of their positions, sat on both sides of Ang Lee, and the honorable position in the middle was only Ang Lee, and of course, there were four little beauties who accompanied him.
"Li Shilang, the ten pirates are already in place, and the hounds and beasts you said you were looking for have also been found."
The subordinate wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and reported in a low voice.
Li An smiled happily and asked, "What kind of beasts have you found, quickly take this official over to take a look." ”
Get up and leave, and let the crowd not have to follow.
"Li Shilang, you see, here are more than thirty hounds, all of them are bad guys who have bitten people, and there are a few bullfighting bulls, and the lion next to them is from a merchant."
The subordinate spoke.
Li An nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly asked, "You got so many things, did you give money?" ”
"Give money?" The subordinates were slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "The subordinates mentioned the prestige of Li Shilang, and no one dared to mention the money, so they lent us these beasts obediently, and the subordinates swore that they would never be rude to anyone." ”
"Forget it, just compensate them for the dead, you did a good job, hard work."
Li An didn't feel that his subordinates had done anything wrong, and praised him.
"That's what subordinates should do."
The subordinates were suddenly flattered, and their voices trembled a little.
Ang Lee returned to his seat and called the men in charge of the Colosseum.
"Li Shilang, what are your orders?"
The subordinate asked respectfully.
Li An thought for a moment and said: "Let a pirate go to the ring, remove his shackles, and in addition, choose a hound to go to the ring, so that the official can take a good look at whether it is a fierce hound or a fierce person." ”
"Li Shilang, do you want to prepare weapons for pirates?"
The subordinate asked.
Li An frowned and said, "Weapons? If you prepare weapons for people, with the strength of pirates, where will the hound be an opponent, so be it! You can't bully the pirate too much, give him a glove! Who lives and who dies depends on fate. ”
"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it."
The subordinates answered, and hurriedly ran over to make arrangements.
People who come to the Colosseum to see the excitement are speculating about what is going to happen here when they see the huge muddy puddle in front of them and the small ring in the middle of the muddy water.
"See! This is a ring, it is used for martial arts, and there will definitely be people competing in the ring later. ”
"A rainstorm has turned a good ring into muddy water, and those who lose the competition will definitely have to take a bath in the muddy water."
"That's not right! If it's a martial arts competition, it should be called a martial arts arena, why did I hear that this is the Colosseum? ”
"That's right, I've heard that this is the Colosseum, and it should be the beasts that bite together!"
"I have several hunting dogs at home, all of which were asked to go by the Tang soldiers, it seems that it is really the Colosseum! Pity my good dogs, I guess they'll be crippled if they don't die. ”
"That's not it, the lion I brought from the Great Food Country was also asked by the Tang soldiers, no matter how fierce your dog is, how can it be my lion's opponent, even if it goes together, it will be bitten to death by my lion, and besides, it is still two lions."
"It's over, it's over, how can a hound beat a lion, it seems that I'm going to prepare an afterlife for my dog, alas!"
A group of businessmen gathered together and chatted, most of them were relatively peaceful, but a small number of businessmen were more apprehensive in their hearts, especially the businessmen whose lions were borrowed, on the surface, he seemed to be full of confidence in his lions, but his two lions were raised separately, in case the Tang soldiers let these two lions fight each other, it would inevitably be dead and injured, so his loss was too great, and he did not dare to let the Tang soldiers compensate, it was really difficult to do.
In addition to these businessmen, the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty also talked about it in private.
"What did Li Shilang invite us to come over to let us see? Is there going to be a jousting competition? ”
"Are you stupid, this is the newly built Colosseum, of course it's a fighting performance, how can it be a martial arts competition."
"Recently, I and the 1,000 soldiers under my command have all become craftsmen, and I am really tired, so I can relax when I watch the beast fighting performance."
"Don't talk, someone is coming in, look."
While these civil and military officials were talking, several Tang soldiers escorted a pirate and a hunting dog into the scene.
In order to ensure their own safety, these Datang soldiers are draped all over their bodies, only their faces are exposed, if the hunting dog wants to raid the Datang soldiers, they will definitely not be able to cause harm, and they can only be hacked to death by random knives in the end.
Because the muddy water was knee-deep, in order to avoid getting dirty, the Tang soldiers got a small boat, carried pirates and hounds into the Colosseum, and when they arrived in the ring, they were escorted into the ring.
The onlookers suddenly exploded, because the scene in front of them exceeded their imagination, their original guess, either a fighting beast or a competition, but they did not expect that the protagonists of the Colosseum were humans and beasts, which surprised them a little.
"That's my hound, I haven't eaten it for a day, what is this for, let my hound fight people."
"It seems like this, the people on the stage are in rags, like pirates, and they don't have weapons in their hands, so they probably won't be able to beat your dog."
"That's right, my hound is amazing? I'm sure I'll be able to bite this evil pirate to death, hahaha! ”
Several businessmen discussed.
The civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty, who were watching from the front, also watched the excitement with discussion and expressed their opinions.
Ang Lee hugged the four little beauties and happily waited for the duel to begin.
"White Fox, guess first, who can win, a hound and a pirate without weapons?"
Li An first looked at the white fox and asked.
"Li Shilang, do you need to talk about this? Of course, the hounds are a little more powerful, and this damn pirate will definitely be bitten to death by the hounds. ”
The white fox hated pirates the most in his heart, and of course he hoped that the pirates would be bitten to death by the hounds.
"Yun'er, what is the opinion of the three of you, do you think the hound will win?"
Ang Lee asked.
Yun'er and Beauty, as well as the magpie all nodded vigorously, because they could all see that the hunting dog in the ring was not good at stubble, and although the pirate was also relatively strong, he was obviously much weaker in momentum, and the strong barking of the hound in the ring made people's hearts furious, and the pirate's mental state was not very good, as long as he was a normal person, he would vote for the hunting dog.
The four Datang soldiers first opened the pirate's shackles and let the pirate stand to the side, and then put the hunting dog in the cage on the ring together with the cage, and finally, the four Datang soldiers retreated to the ship and opened a door to the cage where the hunting dog was held with tools, and then the four Datang soldiers drove the ship away.
After the cage was opened, the hound did not immediately escape from the cage, but bared its teeth and made a very terrifying sound, which made people feel creepy, and the pirates on the opposite side were much weaker in momentum, so frightened that they retreated straight back, and they all retreated to the edge of the ring.
The crowd of onlookers saw that the hounds had already defeated the pirates in terms of momentum before they were out of the cage, and they all cheered loudly, and the owner of the hounds almost jumped up with joy.
"Ah Huang is out of the cage and bites that guy to death."
The dog owner shouted.
Perhaps hearing the call of the dog's owner, the big yellow hound slowly came out of the cage with bared teeth and glared at the pirate in front of him viciously, and pounced on it.
The atmosphere before the battle was the most tense, when the big yellow hound slowly walked out of the cage and grinned at the pirates, everyone's hearts were raised, of course, not worried about the pirates, but felt the tension before the war, and involuntarily lifted their hearts.
White Fox and Yun'er even involuntarily approached Ang Lee, as if the hounds were not pounced on the pirates, but at them.
"Don't be afraid, little darling, the hounds are far away from us? I can't bite you. ”
Li An gently patted Yun'er and White Fox on the shoulders and said comfortingly.
However, Yun'er and the white fox were still very scared and snuggled up to Ang Lee's side, looking like little birds.
Hound dogs are always very ferocious, especially when encountering soft-footed shrimp, this ferocity will increase dramatically, and will quickly rush towards each other.
After a moment of deliberation, the hound lived up to his expectations and pounced on the pirate who was already hiding in the corner.
The pirate only had a pair of gloves, how could he be a match for the hound, he didn't think about it and dodged to the side.
Perhaps the hound did not pounce on the enemy, and, because of the force he used too much, the hound fell headlong into the muddy water, and was covered in muddy water, while the pirate only fell in the ring and quickly got up.
"Hey, what's the matter, this dog is so stupid that he actually fell into the muddy water by himself."
"What kind of stupid dog you raise, you can't pounce on people, it's too disappointing."
"Don't be in a hurry, it might anger the hounds, and we'll just look at it."
A few businessmen talked about it word by word.
The owner of the hound looked a little angry on his face, he was still full of confidence in his hound just now, but at this moment he saw that his hound was so uncompromising, he was in a very bad mood, and he couldn't wait to immediately pick up the whip and beat this damn stupid dog.
When the civil and military officials of the Tang Dynasty saw this scene, most of them laughed, although they also hoped that the hound would win, but if the hound bit the pirate to death as soon as the hound came up, then there was nothing to see, and the one-sided game was not exciting, which was the case at all times.
Now that the Hound has been tricked by the pirate's feint and fallen into the muddy water, it can be seen that he is very angry, and this is exactly what they want to see.
The angry hound will choose how to take revenge, and how the pirate will respond, there are too many possibilities, and this infinite possibility makes people look forward to it, and things full of anticipation are always fascinating, especially these high-ranking people, who like to watch wonderful performances the most.
Although the white fox hates pirates very much, but when she saw the hound falling into the muddy water, her mood did not deteriorate, but she exhaled a big sigh, and it can be seen that although she hates pirates very much, she is still kind in her heart, and she will involuntarily consider pirates, which she may not know herself.
The competition continued, and the angry hound soon swam out of the muddy water to the ring, glaring at the pirate with grinned teeth, threatening to swallow it in one gulp.
The pirate was scared at first, but when he managed to dodge the first wave of hounds and get the pirate into the muddy water, his self-confidence rose, and although he had no chance of escaping, he had to do his best to survive as long as there was a glimmer of hope.
The cage in which the hounds were held was not very large, and it was made of wood, and the weight was very modest, and an adult was more than capable of picking it up.
The pirate made a quick decision, ran over and lifted the dog fence before the hound swam to the ring, turned and rushed towards the approaching hound, and was in danger of being doomed.
"It's over, the pirate has learned how to use a fence, such a big guy, once he hits the hound, he will not die and will lose his skin."
"Your stupid dog is finished, the pirate has such a big dog cage in his hand, this is a weapon!"
"You shouldn't have left the dog cage in the ring just now, it's being used by pirates."
"Fortunately, I didn't have a knife left, otherwise, I would have hacked the dog to death with one knife."
Several businessmen discussed.
The dog owner was also depressed in his heart, the dog cage, or did he make it himself? It was levied by the Tang Dynasty soldiers together, and it was a temporary loan, and now, the dog cage he built with his own hands is about to become a murder weapon to kill his hounds, can you not be depressed.
When Li An saw this scene, he was secretly surprised in his heart, which is enough to show that when people are in a desperate situation, they can burst out with powerful potential, and they can find the items around them in time.
