Chapter 55 - An Unexpected Ending

"Enemy general, take your life!"

Li Cheng will come straight to Gao Dingbian with a gun. Gao Dingbian saw a chill in his heart, he had learned the strength of the opponent, although he was taught by his uncle Lu Qinghan and learned the Lu family's marksmanship, but he was really not sure how much chance he had in the face of this veteran. The current situation is critical, if he is entangled by Li Chenghui here, the offensive momentum of the Tiger Guard Battalion will be curbed, and now he has gone deep into the enemy formation, if he is countered by the other party from both wings at this time, he will fall into a dilemma! In that case, needless to say, there would be heavy casualties, but more importantly, now the only hope of the brother Wang Hanxin is his own 3,000 men and horses, if he can't break through the enemy's resistance, then Wang Hanxin's troops will be in danger.

It's a pity that the current situation can't be turned back, Gao Dingbian knows that it is impossible to distinguish the winner in a short time, but he can only face Li Chenghui head-on.

As soon as the two generals, one old and one young, handed over, Li Chenghui was taken aback. Compared with the last encounter, Gao Dingbian's marksmanship has changed dramatically. Before Gao Dingbian's marksmanship was very exquisite, but he took a fierce path, just like a wounded tiger as aggressive, but his flaws are also endless, as long as these flaws are contained, he can successfully gain an advantage, but now his marksmanship seems to be a different person, the seemingly soft marksmanship is like an embroidery needle hidden in the cotton ball with nowhere to focus, the slightest carelessness will be spike hurt the hand, and more importantly, his flaws have become abnormally few, giving people a feeling of no way to start.

Li Chenghui secretly thought to himself: he really didn't read it wrong, in just two years, this kid has grown into a gun master no less than himself. Fortunately, my information is accurate. Knowing where this kid is, if you send Li Meng to stop him. It's no match for this kid anymore. Looks like this kid has to be killed today, or else. In a few years, when this kid's skills become more and more mature, I am afraid that even himself will not be his opponent.

Thinking of this, Li Chenghui stepped up his hand, and a shot was as fast as a shot, and he attacked towards the Gaoding side. In the blink of an eye, the two have been fighting for forty rounds, Gao Dingbian casually parried more and fought less, but gradually adapted to Li Chenghui's style of play, seeing that the marksmanship he learned was no longer inferior to the opponent, his confidence became more and more full. He parried and shouted: "Old general, your physical strength is getting worse and worse, and if you continue to consume it, sooner or later I will win!" ”

"The doll is so angry. Even if the old man is not good, it is more than enough to kill you. ”

"Then what are you waiting for, let me see how good you are!" Gao Ding's side hands stepped up, and he counterattacked seven or eight moves in a row to save the decline.

Li Chenghui said this, but he knew in his heart that what Gao Dingbian said was true, he couldn't attack it for a long time, after all, he was old, and he was naturally not the opponent of the young and strong Gao Dingbian if he continued to consume it like this. This must be taken as soon as possible to be a person. But thinking about it is easier said than done, Gao Dingbian's defense is impermeable, where is the opportunity to kill him?

At this time, the soldiers on both sides who had been fighting endlessly gradually stopped fighting, and quietly watched the life and death of the two generals - neither of the two sides took advantage of the melee at this time. If you continue to fight, it's just a simple consumption, but this duel in front of you is so exciting that I'm afraid it's rare to see it once again in my life. Therefore, everyone invariably stopped the fight and watched. Everyone knew in their hearts that the winner of this duel was actually the winner of this ambush battle.

Kankan has been fighting for more than 100 rounds, and Li Chenghui suddenly made a discovery: Gao Dingbian was using a move to defend back. There is a small flaw in the left shoulder, and it appears in the same place every time. It seems to be a habit he developed when he practiced. However, this flaw is very small, and it is still behind the side, so it is generally impossible to attack. Li Cheng thought of this and deliberately shot more than a dozen shots to temporarily suppress Gao Dingbian, and then clamped the horse's belly with his legs, the horse jumped forward half a step forward to the left hand side of Gao Dingbian, and then swept a shot, forcing Gao Dingbian to only return to defend, that flaw was really exposed, Li Cheng saw that the opportunity could not be missed, turned his wrist, and the gun head slammed towards this flaw!

Li Chenghui's move is easier said than done. To suddenly turn the old sweep into a straight stab, and to accurately hit this small flaw, you have to catch the opponent off guard, which embodies Li Chenghui's lifelong skills.

Gao Dingbian was shocked, and hurriedly raised his left hand to block this shot, Li Chenghui's gun tip was directly inserted into the inside of Gao Dingbian's shoulder armor, and the huge impact stabbed Gao Dingbian's whole person out of the saddle!

Win! Li Chenghui confirmed it in his heart. Once he is picked off the horse, even if he has great ability, only one more shot can kill him.

At this moment, Li Chenghui only felt a cold in his chest, and a spear stabbed into his chest!

What's going on! When Li Chenghui widened his eyes and looked again, he realized that Gao Dingbian was not picked off the horse at all, but hooked the stirrup with his right foot, and then went around half a circle from under the horse's belly, and then stabbed this shot with one hand!

Gao Dingbian's move was not the Lu family's marksmanship, but a crooked move he came up with by himself. Ever since he lost to Li Chenghui, he had been thinking about how to take revenge, and as a result, he thought of this move of hiding in the kick and shooting a gun with one hand. In order to win in this move, it can be said that there is no way to survive if you miss a shot, and the length of the spear becomes a burden under the belly of the horse, so it must be held in the middle of the gun with one hand so as not to affect the shot, so you must hit the opponent at close range. Later, as his martial arts improved, Wang Hanxin gave him an idea to deliberately practice a return pistol to create a flaw in his originally flawless left shoulder, in order to attract the opponent to attack at close range in order to use this move. It can be said that everything Gao Dingbian has, including the more than 100 rounds of impeccable moves, is all in the service of this move, and only by making an opponent like Li Chenghui unable to start can the possibility of using this move be triggered. Although it took more than 100 rounds during this period, it was the fastest way to solve the battle that Gao Dingbian could choose.

Li Chenghui looked down at the young man who was hiding under the belly of the horse to give him a fatal blow, and at this time, he could put Gao Dingbian, who had no power to fight back, to death with just one shot, but his hand could not be raised. This feeling of powerlessness is the first time in the army for decades, Li Chenghui couldn't help but smile bitterly, blood tumbling up his throat and spilling down the corners of his mouth.

"Well done, young man." Li Chenghui used his last strength to speak, and the blood kept rolling out with every time he spoke: "It's not a pity for the old man to die, only pity the people of Goryeo"

Gao Ding turned over and sat back in the saddle, and said lightly: "If Changdu Hu is alive, Goryeo has long perished, and there is no need to start the war now." Now this situation is also a helpless move, and I don't want to see it in the future. The veteran general was assured that on the day of Goryeo's surrender, he would never allow any more mutilation of civilians. ”

Li Chenghui looked up at the night sky, as if those deceased comrades-in-arms were surrounding him in the air, the corners of his mouth were slightly crooked, and said, "I hope you will do what you say"

Speaking of this, Li Chenghui's head slowly drooped, and the whole person lost his balance and fell off the horse.

The ambush at Eagle Mouth ended with the defeat of Li Chenghui, and the demoralized Goryeo cavalry soon began to retreat, and Gao Dingbian finally passed Eagle Pass at the cost of one-third of the casualties.

The last of Goryeo's generals, Yi Sung-hui, died at the age of 66 in the Battle of Yexiong Ridge. The death of this legendary hero marked the end of the heyday of the Goryeo army, and also dealt a heavy psychological blow to the Goryeo army, especially since the newly formed cavalry unit lost its commander in the first battle, so that the performance of this cavalry team on the battlefield later was similar to that of this battle.
