"How is Tian Xiangyi?!"

Meng Zhong took a step forward and substantially coerced Xue Gongtianwen, this courage made all the Zhao courtiers present look at each other, and even a faint sound of gasping cold air sounded.

"How dare this kid...... How dare he ......

Xue Gongtian Wen's eyes became vicious, glaring at the young man in front of him who was competing with him, eager to devour him alive.

He has lived for more than thirty years, but no one has ever been so arrogant in front of him.

However, Meng Zhong's murderous words, or declarations, were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the anger in his heart.

He sent 500 chivalrous warriors, and the other party sent 500 soldiers, so that the two sides fought outside the city?

Even if Tian Wen was optimistic about the chivalrous warriors under him, he would not be naΓ―ve to think that those five hundred chivalrous warriors would be able to defeat the other party's five hundred regular soldiers.

Maybe if you gamble one-on-one, Xia Yong has a great advantage, because Xia Yong is very good at this way of fighting alone, and they have superb swordsmanship, and their single strength is better than that of ordinary soldiers.

This is not surprising because each has a different focus on training.

Swordsmen, because most of them walk the world alone, so their swordsmanship is mainly personal, what is slashing, picking, flashing and moving, in short, to tap the potential of the individual as much as possible.

But the soldier is the opposite,

As long as you are surrounded by enemy troops, even if you can kill and retreat the enemy soldiers besieging you in a short time, you will definitely not survive tomorrow - how to advance and retreat with your friends and soldiers, and cooperate with each other to cover, this is the only way to save your life.

Therefore, the training of the soldiers is basically simplified, and the training items are the most basic things, such as physical fitness, such as how to stab the halberd in the hand faster and quickly retract it, as for what to hold the halberd with both hands, rotate around the body, and perform the trick of opening and closing, then I'm sorry, before you are killed by the enemy, your fellow Ze will hack you to death first - because you will affect them and threaten their already rich foothold.

Everyone knows that if you are compressed on the battlefield, then you are not far from death.

All in all, the training of the soldiers is to suppress the personal force, everything is on par with the friends and soldiers on the side, unless your position is a general, shouldering the heavy responsibility of impacting the enemy's formation, otherwise you will not be given the opportunity to show your bravery.

When you stab the weapon in your hand, either the enemy dies or you die, it's as simple as that, how can there be any chance for you to show your bells and whistles sword skills?

It is for this reason that in a one-on-one situation, it is difficult for a soldier to defeat Xia Yong, even if this soldier is wearing heavy armor, because the space for the two to compete is too large, which invisibly gives Xia Yong, who is good at flashing and moving, a great advantage.

And if ten chivalrous warriors fight against ten soldiers, the advantage of chivalrous warriors will be greatly weakened, because those soldiers basically know how to cooperate with each other - as long as the soldiers can survive on the battlefield, they all know this truth, that is, personal bravery is insignificant on the battlefield, and if you want to survive on the battlefield, you must know how to cooperate with Tongze and cover each other.

Of course, even so, the chivalrous side still has a great advantage.

But if it is a hundred heroes against a hundred soldiers, then the heroes will gradually lose their advantage, so it will be a battle like a dragon and a tiger.

And if the number is expanded to 10,000 against 10,000, then the chivalrous side is basically hopelessβ€”provided, of course, that the 10,000 soldiers against them are regular soldiers of the same ranks, and not a rabble.

As for what Meng Zhong said at the moment, the gambling battle with 500 heroes against 500 soldiers, in fact, it can't be said that the heroes have no chance of victory, but they also have to distinguish the objects - if it is against ordinary soldiers, the heroes still have a chance to win, but against 500 Xinwei, against these 500 "Zhao Wushu" established after Wei Wushu, hehe, what Meng Zhong just said about "slaughtering the other party" is actually not an exaggeration.

After all, Meng Zhong's requirement for the soldiers under his command was to be able to defeat ten with one.

Of course, this "one enemy ten" does not mean that one Xinwei soldier can resist an enemy ten times his size, but for the entire Xinwei army, through the mutual cooperation of these 500 soldiers, as well as the use of tactics and strategies, coupled with the advantages brought by equipment and war weapons, the 500 Xinwei army has the strength of an army of 5,000.

This is also the reason and confidence for Meng Zhong's confidence.

"Xue Gong, what do you think?"

Seeing that Tian Wen pursed his lips tightly and didn't speak, Meng Zhong squeezed again.

Seeing the change in the situation on the field, Meng Zhong actually persecuted Xue Gong in turn, and the Zhao ministers in the palace were very surprised, and at the same time, from Meng Zhong's "unforgiving" attitude, they sensed that this young man was not easy to offend, so he didn't help Tian Wen - anyway, this matter itself has nothing to do with most of the people present, they just need to watch the fun.

At this time, the most uncomfortable person was the people on Tian Wen's side, especially Tian Wen, Wei Chu, Feng Tan and others.

"Xue Gong, don't be impulsive."

Wei Chu persuaded Tian Wen in a low voice, and at the same time looked at Meng Zhong with a jealous gaze.

As the saying goes, there is no vanity under fame, since the 500 Xinwei troops under the command of Meng Zhong have the ability to attack the camp of tens of thousands of Qi troops at night and retreat with their whole body, this proves that this army is indeed an elite army, and it does have the strength of the "Wei Wushu" level.

With only 500 scattered heroes, fighting with 500 "warrior" level soldiers? What's the difference between this and sending someone to death?

Thinking of this, Wei Chu smiled and said: "Meng Sima Mo wants to be angry, Xue Gong's original intention is just to see Meng Sima's personal force, and by the way, add some interest to the guests present, and there is no malicious ......"

Hearing this, Meng Zhong glanced at Wei and said lightly, "Sir, don't you feel ashamed of yourself when you say this?" Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, before Xue Gong made a provocation, did he ever have any disrespect to Xue Gong? In the case that Meng did not offend Xue Gong, Xue Gong made provocative remarks, and connived at the Xia Yong under his door to humiliate the Xinwei Army in charge of the subordinates and subordinates several times, but you said that Xue Gong was not malicious? …… Mr. Xue Gong's intention to protect Xue Gong is so obvious! Please don't talk to him again, I don't want to talk to him again. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Wei Chu was not a person who was good at debating, and after hearing Meng Zhong's words, he looked ashamed and speechless.

Seeing this, Feng Tan spoke: "Meng Sima, however, the 'gambling fight' you proposed is inevitably too unfair. …… The soldiers themselves are good at battle formations, not to mention that the five hundred Xinwei in charge of you are trained to imitate the warriors of the Wei State, even if you bet one-on-one on the chivalrous courage of Xue Gongmen, it may not be inferior, let alone fight against this with five hundred? ”

Hearing this, Meng Zhong snorted lightly and said lightly: "Then Xue Gong will send a thousand people!" …… With a thousand heroes, against my five hundred guards, is this gentleman satisfied? ”

has said all this, even if it is Feng Chen, he is speechless.

With 1,000 heroes against 500 Xinwei soldiers, can he still lick his face and say that it's unfair?

"How?"

Meng Zhong deliberately provoked Mu Xiao's chivalrous bravery.

Looking at the contempt on Meng Zhong's face, Mu Xiao and the other heroes were full of anger and reprimanded one after another.

"Not necessarily!"

"Five hundred against five hundred!"

"Do you think you'll win?"

"Gong Xue, just send me to wait, I will definitely be able to kill him without leaving a piece of armor!"

"Xue Gong ......"

"Xue Gong ......"

Seeing this, the corners of Meng Zhong's mouth raised a somewhat imperceptible smile, turned his head to look at Xue Gong Tianwen again, and asked with bad intentions: "Xue Gong, what do you think?" ”

"These idiots......

Turning his head slightly, he looked at the heroes who were still shouting, Tian Wen, who used to be very important to these heroes, was angry with these people for the first time.

He had to admit that these chivalrous bravals were really only the courage of a horseman, and they were easily provoked by Meng Zhong's kid, so that it was difficult for him to ride a tiger at the moment.

Seeing this, Feng Tan saw Tian Wen's embarrassment, turned his head to look at Zhao Xiangfeiyi and said, "Feixiang ......"

Of course, Fei Yi could see that Tian Wen and the others were difficult to ride a tiger at the moment, and I have to say that he was actually faintly happy in his heart.

The reason is very simple, you must know that the Qi State is a defeated country, but Tian Wen, the Qi Minister, is still a "only Qi State" posture, relying on his own identity, he actually dares to openly target Meng Zhong in the palace - although Meng Zhong is young, he is also a courtier of his Zhao State!

Not to mention, Fei Yi also counted on Meng Zhong to inherit his mantle in the future and tried his best to assist Zhao Wang He.

The successor he values was targeted by Tian Wen for no reason, wouldn't he really be angry when he was fat?

"The old man persuaded you to wait, but you turned a blind eye, and now that you have hit a wall, you have come to ask the old man? It's ridiculous!'

Thinking of this, Fei Yi looked at Meng Zhong in embarrassment, and asked pretendedly: "Meng Sima, there was a lot of trouble at the palace banquet today, this is really inappropriate, I don't know if Meng Sima is willing to take a step back with Xue Gong, so that this matter can end here?" ”

As soon as Meng Zhong heard it, he heard that Fei Yi was not sincerely dissuaded, so he said awe-inspiringly: "Fei Xiang, I respect you below, but everyone has dignity, although I Meng Zhong is young, I am no exception!" …… There is nothing to offend Xue Gong in Xia, but Xue Gong has targeted Xia three times and twice, if there is no reaction in Xia, wouldn't it make the world laugh? Today's matter, unless Xue Gong apologizes to Zai Xia in public, and apologizes to the 500 Xinwei soldiers under my command, otherwise, Zai Xia will never stop! …… Those who insult others will be humiliated! Xue Gongtianwen, the son of the dignified Jing Guo Jun, is he only allowed to humiliate others, but he is not allowed to resist others? Is this the morality of the world? ”

"Well said!"

Gongzizhang didn't know when he came to the crowd, and when he heard the words, he said: "Since you have humiliated others, you must be prepared to be humiliated by others in turn!" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Tian Wen coldly, and his heart was very relieved.

I have to say that yesterday Gongzizhang invited Tian Wen to live in his house for a few days in public, but Tian Wen accepted the invitation of Anpingjun Zhao Cheng when he refused him, which was tantamount to slapping Gongzizhang in the face in the court.

Of course, Gongzizhang would regard Tian Wen as an enemy - if it weren't for Tian Wen's noble status, I'm afraid Gongzizhang would have sent someone to dismantle him a long time ago.

Beside Gongzizhang, Tian Buyu also stroked his mustache and said suspiciously: "Only allow yourself to humiliate others, and not allow others to resist, this may be the morality of Qi State." …… I feel that some people are afraid that they are used to being powerful in the Qi country, but they forget that it is the Zhao country that is located at the moment, not the Qi country! ”

In fact, if you push back more than ten generations, Tian Buyu and Xue Gong Tian Wen are actually from the same branch, that is, the descendants of Chen Wan, the son of Chen Guo, including Tian Ji, Tian Ji, Tian Zhang, etc., but later they gradually distanced themselves from each other, and gradually cut off their relatives.

If Tian Wen accepted Gongzizhang's invitation yesterday, then of course Tian Buyu would use the point of "one out of the same team" to get closer to Tian Wen, but unfortunately, Tian Wen rejected Gongzizhang yesterday and accepted Anpingjun Zhao Cheng, and his position has been clarified - since he is already an enemy, where will Tian Buyu be polite? Of course, he is on Meng Zhong's side, not only can he let Gongzi Zhang relieve his hatred, but also show favor to his little brother Meng Zhong, why not?

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Fei Yi glanced at Gongzi Zhang and Tian Buyu.

Although he has no good impression of these two, at this moment, in the matter of "targeting Tian Wen", the two sides have become a battle line.

"......" Tian Wenyi glanced at Gongzi Zhang and Tian Buyu coldly.

Of course, he guessed that Anyang Jun Zhao Zhang and Tian Buyu must have been in retaliation for his "faceless" move yesterday.

I have to say that Tian Wen didn't expect that he would be forced to this point by Hui Mengzhong, Feiyi, Gongzizhang, Tian Buyu and others.

Glancing at the heroes who were still begging him to fight, Tian Wen took a deep breath, and finally said with a calm face: "As long as Master Zhao and King Zhao approve of this gambling fight, Tian ...... Yes! ”

As a result, everyone's focus immediately shifted to Master Zhao and Zhao Wanghe.

Seeing this, Master Zhao secretly sneered in his heart, how could he not see Tian Wen's tricks?

"Do you think I'll Zhao Yonghui be afraid of you? Don't say that your father Tian Ying is dead, even if he is still alive, I will not allow you to be so presumptuous in my Zhao Kingdom!"

Thinking of this, Master Zhao said with a smile: "Xue Gong's disciple, in order to maintain the 'dignity' of his master, and Meng Zhong, is also for the 'dignity' of himself and the Xinwei Army, like this kind of man's gambling fight to protect his dignity, how can I stop it without understanding it?" …… What do I think? ”

Zhao Wanghe glanced at Fei Yi, then at Meng Zhong, and said with a smile on his face: "What the master father said is reasonable, and the son also thinks so. ”

"......" Master Zhao glanced at Zhao Wanghe, who was "too well-behaved and obedient" today, and a few different colors flashed in his eyes.

However, at this moment, no one would pay attention to Master Zhao's expression, because after Master Zhao and Zhao Wang He successively "acquiesced" to this matter, everyone present turned their attention to Xue Gongtian Wen again, and even quite a few, purely with a good reaction to the show.

At this time, Tian Wencai suddenly found that he was in a helpless situation.

Why did it come to this?

Obviously, what he was targeting was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old kid......

Why did this kid have such connections, so that Zhao Xiangfeiyi, Anyang Jun Zhao Zhang, and even Zhao Wanghe and Zhao's father were secretly favoritic?

After taking a deep breath, Xue Gongtian looked at Meng Zhong and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Tian should fight! ”

Hearing this, Wei Chu, Feng Tan and several other doormen glanced at each other and sighed secretly.

So the banquet that night finally broke up.

Of course, this unhappy parting only refers to the people on Tian Wen's side, as for the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State, except for the "old aristocratic faction" led by Zhao Cheng, the monarch of Anping, and Li Dui, the monarch of Fengyang, who were shocked and annoyed by the evolution of this situation, most of the rest were all watching it lively.

For example, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao, an old fox, he didn't help anyone from beginning to end, just to watch the excitement.

In the early morning of the next day, Meng Zhong, Le Yi and others gathered 500 Xinwei soldiers early and gathered them to the camp belonging to the Xinwei army.

Around the hour, Xue Gongtian Wen also led his nearly 1,000 followers and disciples to gather outside the city.

After that, about half an hour later, Zhao's father, Zhao Wanghe, Gongzizhang, Anpingjun Zhao Cheng, Fengyangjun Li Dui and other monarchs and ministers of Zhao State arrived outside the city one after another, ready to watch the gambling battle of "Five Hundred Guards vs. Five Hundred Heroes".

"Can Meng Qing's soldiers win?"

Zhao Wanghe asked Feiyi in a low voice.

Hearing this, Fei Yi glanced at the five hundred chivalrous warriors who were arranging the formation, and said with a rare joke: "If it is against five hundred Wei warriors, Lao Chen does not dare to assert it, but against those five hundred chivalrous warriors who can't even shoot the array, Lao Chen really doesn't know what reason the Xinwei Army has to lose." ”

I have to say that Fei Yi is not the only one who is not optimistic about the 500 heroes, I believe that after seeing the chaotic formation of these 500 heroes with his own eyes, no one will think that this "army" can have a good chance of winning.

It's just that the Faith Guard hasn't appeared yet, so everyone can't be sure.

"It's coming!"

Following the words of Lord Zhao's father, the monarchs and ministers of the Zhao Kingdom turned their heads to look into the distance, only to see that in the east, an army of five hundred people was slowly coming, and it was the five hundred Xinwei army led by Meng Zhong

Unlike the chaotic scene of the 500 brave warriors, although the steps of the 500 Xinwei soldiers were not uniform, there was no sound of anyone except the sound of armor rubbing and footsteps.

When they came to a position about 100 zhang away from the 500 heroes, the 500 Xinwei soldiers stopped at the same time, stood with halberds, and shouted in unison: "Drink! ”

At this time, looking at this team of five hundred people, I found that they had already lined up in an array, with a thick-armored soldier holding a halberd in the center, and a chariot team on both sides, each soldier straightened his spine and stood with a halberd, majestic and majestic.

On the other hand, the five hundred heroes on Tian Wen's side have not yet lined up the formation.

"It's too far away......"

Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao's Zuo Sima Zhao Ben glanced at the two teams of five hundred people, shook his head and said.

"yes."

Zhao Bao stroked his beard and nodded.

I believe that anyone who knows a little about the art of war can see the elite level of the Xinwei Army and their ability to respond to sudden changes.

Within a moment of appearance, the Guards had already formed a battle formationβ€”a response capability that would have largely prevented a sneak attack from enemy troops on the march.

However, what Zhao Bao cares about most at this moment is the convoy of the Xinwei Army.

"Good fellow, that kid Meng Zhong even brought a chariot...... This shows that they really want to 'slaughter' each other. ”

Zhao Bao muttered.

You know, although the cavalry has replaced the chariot, but this is only at the strategic level, as for in a war, the chariot still has the impact ability that contemporary cavalry cannot match, and the power of chariot assault, this is not a joke.

At this time, Meng Zhong temporarily handed over the command to Le Yi and let the latter order the soldiers to rest in place, while he himself stood on the chariot driven by Meng Hu and came to the Lord of Zhao, King Zhao and other monarchs and ministers of Zhao State.

I saw him clenching his fists and saying: "Master Zhao, your lordship, I believe that the guards are ready." ”

After taking a few glances at the five hundred Xinwei soldiers, Master Zhao nodded approvingly, and then said jokingly: "Although your Xinwei is ready, but Xue Gong's side, I'm afraid it will take some time...... You wait for him. ”

Hearing this, a light laugh sounded in the onlookers, which made Wei Chu, Feng Tan and other Tianwen guests who were standing beside Anpingjun Zhao Cheng and Fengyangjun Li Dui feel very uncomfortable.

After nearly a moment, the five hundred heroes under Tian Wenmen barely lined up the formation - but in the eyes of those who knew the formation, this formation was just a form in vain, and it had no effect at all.

But no matter what, the formation is arranged.

So, Tian Wen also rode in a chariot and came to Lord Zhao and other monarchs and ministers of Zhao State: "Master Zhao, Tian is ready." ”

"Heh, the time you have to wait for the formation is enough for each of you to die a few times......

Master Zhao was secretly buried, but his face did not show the slightest clue, he smiled and nodded and said, "Then ...... Let's go? ”

Hearing this, Tian Wen and Meng Zhong glanced at each other in their respective chariots.

"Xue Gong, please!" Meng Zhong hugged his fist towards Tian Wen.

"Humph!"

Tian Wen snorted coldly, and ordered the soldiers who drove the chariot away, returning to the array of five hundred chivalrous warriors, let's just call them "chivalrous warriors".

Seeing this, Meng Hu was furious in his heart, and scolded in a low voice: "This guy, how can you be arrogant until now? …… Ah Zhong, can I kill him later? ”

Meng Zhong patted Meng Hu on the shoulder and motioned for the latter to steer the chariot back to the array of the Guards.

On the way, he said to Meng Hu: "Tian Wen can't be killed, after all, he is famous all over the world, you and I can only teach him a lesson at most......"

"Slaughter those 500 heroes under his command?" Meng Hu grinned.

"Look." Meng Zhong said lightly: "It's not necessary to kill them all, but there is no need for your subordinates to show mercy. …… Anyway, if our side loses, I believe those people will not be relentless. ”

"That's exactly what happened!" Meng Hu said with a smile.

"Woo-woo-woo-"

After Meng Zhong and Tian Wen returned to their respective armies, on the side of the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State, one of them blew the horn.

Hearing the sound of the horn, the five hundred warriors, who were barely neat, suddenly lost their formation and rushed to the opposite Xinwei army.

"Kill!"

"Kill them all!"

"Kill Meng Zhong and relieve your hatred for Xue Gong!"

Hundreds of heroes shouted, rushing towards the opposite Xinwei army like a tidal wave.

On the other hand, the Xinwei army did not react at all, as if they regarded the hundreds of heroes who were coming in front of them as if they were nothing.

Suddenly, the front line of the Xinwei Army changed, and the halberdiers scattered in formation, and a crossbowman with a crossbow weapon flashed out.

"Shoot the arrows!"

With Le Yi's order, about a hundred or so crossbowmen of the Xinwei Army launched a salvo, and in the blink of an eye, about thirty or forty heroes fell down with a wail.

"Don't be afraid!"

Seeing this, Xia Yong Mu Xiao shouted loudly: "The crossbow arrows can't be fired in bursts, while they are loaded with crossbow arrows, we will rush forward, and these people will be slaughtered by us!" ”

"Oh-"

Hearing this, the heroes plucked up their courage and charged forward again.

However, at this moment, the Xinwei army on the opposite side once again launched a volley of crossbow arrows, causing the unprepared heroes to suddenly have another thirty or forty casualties.

"What, what's going on?"

Mu Xiao and other heroes were stunned one by one.

Isn't it impossible to shoot a crossbow machine?
