Chapter 719: Duel

The fact that so many spectators have come before the Colosseum show has even begun, is enough to show how much these spectators love the Colosseum show.

As long as you raise your eyes and take a look, all the people who come to watch the performance are some rough old men, most of them are middle-aged people in their thirties and forties, and most of them are businessmen.

After all, businessmen are rich and idle masters, only rich and bored people will have the leisure to watch the beast fight, ordinary craftsmen have a very low income, even if the tickets are very cheap, they are not willing to spend this unjust money, rather save to buy a few more steamed buns.

"Li Shilang, look, the fat man who jumped into the Colosseum last time is here again this time, and moreover, he is still in the first row, do you think he will jump again this time?"

A subordinate saw the fat merchant last time and said with a smile.

Li An took a closer look, and also found this fat man, smiled, and said: "Of course not, last time it was a pirate and a hound fight, the hound was raised by this fat man, and it has something to do with him, but this time it is a pirate and a robber fighting to the death, and the fat man will not jump down boringly, unless one of the two people fighting is his son, however, it is impossible for him to give birth to a son of standard size if he is so fat, unless it is not his own." ”

"Hahaha!"

When many of his subordinates heard this, they all burst into laughter.

The time for the Colosseum duel show is getting closer and closer, and the number of visitors is entering one after another, and the number of onlookers has quickly risen from a few hundred to more than a thousand, and the number of people is still growing steadily, and it is estimated that by the time the performance begins, the number of people will exceed 2,000.

In recent days, with the influx of a large number of people, the size of the population of foreign merchants and craftsmen has already exceeded the 10,000 mark, and even, in a few days, it will break through the 20,000 mark, and if 2,000 people can come, that is, they account for one-tenth of the population, and it can be regarded that all those who can come have come.

After Li An drank a few cups of tea, he felt a lot more comfortable, got up and walked to the fat merchant on the side, this fat man still made him a little uneasy, so he had to go over and chat a few words in person, let the fat man watch the show well, and don't cause any more trouble.

"Li Shilang."

When many businessmen saw Li An coming over, they hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Your injuries are better."

Li An looked at the fat merchant and asked with concern.

The fat merchant was immediately flattered, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Li Shilang for your concern, it's just a little flesh injury, it's not in the way, hahaha!" ”

"Fat people have rough skin and thick meat, and they don't get in the way."

Other merchants followed.

Li An patted the fat businessman's shoulder and said: "The body is really strong, then the Japanese official prevents his subordinates from immediately going down to rescue you and make you ugly, you won't resent this official!" ”

"Oh, how dare the little one, don't dare."

The fat businessman is a standard Tang Dynasty man who has been making a living overseas for ten years and is very slippery.

"Haha! It's okay, even if you complain about me in your heart, it doesn't matter, but at that time, the official was already pointing at the pirates, and he wouldn't let you have anything to do, haha! ”

Ang Lee said with a laugh.

"That day, I blamed Xiao for his willfulness, jumping down regardless of dissuasion, causing trouble for Li Shilang."

The fat merchant said embarrassedly.

Ang Lee smiled: "It's all over, don't mention it, but you jumped into the Colosseum that day, which really made the show a lot more exciting, but nothing big happened." ”

"Hey, hey, hey!"

The fat man smiled very happily.

Li An's expression was cold, and he admonished: "Last time was an accident, this time, you can't jump anymore, otherwise no one will save you." ”

"Li Shilang rest assured, the little one will never dare anymore, absolutely not."

The fat merchant hurriedly replied.

"And you people, all remember to the official, don't joke about your own life, if you really lose your life because of your mistakes, the official will not compensate."

Li An looked at everyone again and admonished.

"Li Shilang, don't worry, we will never dare."

All the merchants said in unison.

"Li Shilang, the time is almost up, there is still a little while."

The subordinate opened his mouth to remind.

Li An nodded, looked at the businessmen, and said, "The performance will start soon, you can enjoy it!" Go, go back. ”

After speaking, he returned to the front viewing platform with a number of civil and military officials, and sat on chairs, waiting for the duel performance to begin.

"It's out, it's out."

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, more than a dozen heavily armed Datang soldiers entered the Colosseum first, and behind them, another dozen Datang soldiers escorted two gladiators into the Colosseum.

"Hey, this duel show is interesting! Both sides of the duel are wearing armor, but they don't have weapons! ”

A merchant looked curiously at the center of the Colosseum and spoke.

"Bang Dang ......"

Before the merchant could finish speaking, several Tang soldiers left their shields and long swords on the ground.

At this moment, the two gladiators participating in the duel, only ten steps apart, each had a shield and a long sword under their feet, because the shield and the long sword were thrown on the ground one after another, so they made a loud noise.

"Shields and swords, terrible! This is going to be beaten to the death! ”

"Good! This is more interesting, real swords and guns, you can see the real ability, our ticket money is not in vain, hahaha! ”

"Pick up your weapon and let's fight! Also ink what. ”

"The Tang soldiers haven't withdrawn yet, so of course they can't start fighting yet."

Several audience members began to talk loudly.

After some explanation, more than 20 Datang soldiers left the Colosseum step by step, and after closing the iron door, a soldier slammed the gong, which meant that the two gladiators picked up the weapons on the ground and prepared to start a duel.

When the two gladiators heard the sound of the gong, they immediately picked up their shields and long swords on the ground, but they did not rush to attack each other, but closely observed each other's every move, as if they were looking for the opponent's flaws, so as to achieve the final victory.

And at this moment, everyone's mood was nervous and excited, because the fight was about to start, and the wonderful performance was coming.

"Hey, have you found out, the armor they wear is different, one is the Mingguang armor of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is the essence armor of the Great Food Country, both of which are the best armors, it is really a waste to let them wear this good armor to fight."

"It's true, the armor is indeed different, I support the gladiators who wear the Mingguang armor, the armor of the Tang Dynasty must be better than the armor of the Great Food Country."

"Haha! I also support gladiators who wear Datang Mingguang armor, and Datang will win. ”

"If it's a pirate wearing the Bright Light Armor, do you support it?"

"What does it matter, anyway, the two sides of the fight are not good people, and there will be nothing wrong with us supporting Datang!"

"Yes, as Datang merchants, of course we have to support gladiators wearing Mingguang armor, Datang come on, do a lot of food."

"Come on, Datang will win, Datang will win."

As they spoke, the merchants shouted slogans, and regarded a small gladiatorial match as a duel between two nations.

Naturally, there are a lot of foreign businessmen on the scene, and there are businessmen from various small countries, but the number of spectators from dozens of small countries will not exceed the number of Datang merchants, and the number of merchants from Dashi Country is even less, the number is less than one-fifth of that of Datang merchants, and the gap in number and momentum is too big.

Now Datang is the home stadium and the host, and the number of spectators accounts for more than half of the number, so that the merchants of the Great Food Country, although they support their country in their hearts, but due to the huge gap in strength, they can only endure their own thoughts, and they don't even have the courage to open their mouths and roar, so they can only helplessly listen to the Datang merchants shouting in the Colosseum.

"Hahaha! Datang must win, Datang must win! ”

Li An was also infected by the atmosphere of the scene, and shouted happily.

The civil and military officials on both sides were also very happy, all they heard was the voice of Datang Bisheng, and they couldn't hear any discordant sound at all, so they were naturally very happy in their hearts.

"Li Shilang, it seems that the patriotic enthusiasm of the Tang businessmen is very high! The shouts shook the sky. ”

"Yes! The consciousness of my Datang businessman is high, look at those guys in the Great Food Country, none of them are silent, and many of them are dumb. ”

"That's natural, my Datang is a big country in the Celestial Empire, and the Great Food Country is a fart! How can it be compared with my Datang, it can't be the same at all. ”

"As soon as Datang made a move, Da Shiguo didn't have the power to fight back at all."

"Having said that, what if the robber wearing the Datang armor loses?"

"Yes! It was the pirates and the robbers who participated in the duel, and there was not much difference in their strength, and it was really difficult to say who would win or lose, and wouldn't it be terrible if the pirate wearing the Great Food Country Elite Armor won. ”

"How is it possible, since their strength is between the best, then, the robber wearing the Datang Mingguang armor naturally has an advantage in equipment, so he will definitely be able to win, how can he lose?"

"Yes, Datang Mingguang Armor is better than Dashi Guojing Armor, and Datang will inevitably win."

A group of civil and military officials became excited again as they spoke.

Ang Lee can't be sure who loses and who wins, but it's just a game, even if the gladiator wearing Datang armor loses, it's not a big deal, at most, it will disappoint the Datang businessmen who are onlookers, and next time he will get the field back.

"You guys don't have fearless arguments anymore, and watch the show well! It's going to be exciting. ”

Ang Lee smiled and looked at the Colosseum.

At this moment, the most nervous is undoubtedly the two gladiators in the Colosseum, everyone else is the audience and they are the protagonists, but the two protagonists, only one of them can survive today, and the remaining one must die in the Colosseum, this is the rule of the Colosseum.

Although the pirates were strongly tortured, they still had the desire to survive, and after so many days of recovery, their health improved a lot, and the robbers had just been caught, and they had received the promise of the Tang officials, so they didn't want to die even more.

Because neither gladiator wanted to die and both had a strong desire to survive, this beast show was destined to be very exciting, and the game was about to begin.

Both gladiators held shields in their left hands and swords in their right hands, and both assumed standard dueling positions, and a great battle seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.

Ordinary audiences are watching lively, and the question they are more concerned about is whether the fight is very intense and refreshing, while the generals of the Tang Dynasty are looking at the doorway, they are carefully observing the movements of the two gladiators, and can see from their movements who is more professional, who is an ordinary rookie, and who is a veteran who has undergone a certain amount of training.

"You can see it! The pirates seem to have undergone a certain degree of training, while the robbers are frivolous and not sophisticated! If this really starts, I'm afraid I won't be able to take advantage of it! ”

"That's true, but the pirates look a little smaller, not as strong as the robbers, and they are all in armor, with great strength and tall stature, so they naturally have a great advantage."

"Even if there is armor to protect oneself, the experienced side has an advantage, and fighting a war is not only relying on brute force, but also requires skill."

"If that's the case, wouldn't my Datang be going to lose."

"At most, the robber wearing the Datang Mingguang armor loses, not that Datang loses, our Datang will always win."

"I still hope that the robber can win, he is wearing Datang armor, which represents my Datang soldiers, for example, to defeat the pirates wearing Da** armor, he must win."

"Let's stop arguing, their temptation is over, and the fight will start soon."

In the middle of the Colosseum, the pirates and the robbers have passed some temptation, and they officially begin to approach, and the fight is about to break out.

The robber struck first, raised the long sword in his right hand, and slashed at the pirate in front of him with great speed, and the pirate struck back, quickly raised the shield in his right hand, and caught the robber's fatal blow, and swung the long sword in his right hand, stabbing the robber in the neck.

After the blow was blocked, and then attacked again, the robber was surprised and hurriedly blocked his neck with his shield, but the pirate made a feint, his long sword did not touch the robber's shield, and stopped in the air, and quickly went down, stabbing the pirate in the lower abdomen.

Because he couldn't dodge, the robber was stabbed heavily in the lower abdomen by the pirate, if it weren't for the amazing protective power of the Tang Mingguang armor, the pirate's blow was enough to kill the robber.

Despite the armor protection, the robber felt a strong pain, and involuntarily took a few steps back, looking at the pirate in front of him with wary eyes.

"It's really useless, I was stabbed as soon as I made a move."

"What are you afraid of, the fight has just begun, and I am still optimistic about the gladiators wearing Datang armor."

"Yes, let's cheer for the Datang armor together and cheer him up."

"Datang will win, Mingguang armor will win."

"Datang will win, Mingguang armor will win."

The onlookers saw that the robber in the bright light armor was inferior at the beginning, and shouted to cheer him on.
