It is still the wooden fence where Li Deming was imprisoned at the beginning, but the atmosphere is much looser than at the beginning, at least on the surface, the defense outside is much sparser, and the four prison guards who originally changed shifts every two hours are no longer inside.

Lao Luo and Li Deming sat opposite each other, accompanied by a total of two, Lao Luo's side was West Dirk Nord, next to Li Deming was a burp wrapped around his head, the latter stared at Lao Luo with wide eyes without saying a word.

After greeting a few words on his face, Lao Luo got straight to the point, "After saying that he arrived in Lingzhou last time, Luo Mou will let General Li return to Xiazhou, and work together in the future, doesn't General Li have other ideas?" ”

"General Luo, Li thinks you and I should renegotiate the priority ......" When he said this, Li Deming's expression carried a strange leisure.

Old Rome thought back to what Siedeknord had said, and it seemed that the leader of the party in front of him felt that he had something to rely on and wanted to change. He wasn't annoyed, but asked very calmly: "It seems that General Li has found a basis and thinks that he can defeat the tens of thousands of soldiers under Luo?" ”

"Ha, General Luo is well-informed and really courageous!" Li Deming clapped his hands and said, "No wonder you dare to use less than 40,000 soldiers to control 300,000 soldiers and civilians of our party!" ”

"This is General Lee's reliance?" The corners of Lao Luo's mouth showed a hint of sarcasm, the Li Deming in front of him was still too young, and he was not the "Western Xia Taizong" recorded in the history books, he couldn't accept defeat, but when he saw a little opportunity to turn around, he couldn't hold his breath.

"General Luo, Li has 300,000 party soldiers and civilians, and more than a dozen subordinate tribes, plus the Han people who live according to our party's Xiang department, the total number is at least 1.5 million, I don't know how many people General Luo's soldiers can resist?" As if he had regained his self-confidence, Li Deming's expression even returned to the same demeanor he had when he first saw Lao Luo on the battlefield, not at all like a prisoner.

In the face of Li Deming's performance, Lao Luo did not have any worries, but breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

In fact, he didn't dare to underestimate the leader of the party from the beginning, even when Li Deming expressed his submission a few days ago, he didn't fully believe it, because Lao Luo didn't believe that Li Deming, who could be rated as the "key man" of Western Xia in the history books, would be discouraged by a failure, and more importantly, for the vast space of Lingxia, the tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands did not have absolute suppressive power.

"One and a half million?" Lao Luo first asked casually, and then continued: "Let's not talk about whether General Li can ensure that everyone in Lingxia is loyal to the general, how many strong soldiers can there be in one and a half million people?" If they were all the soldiers commanded by the previous generals, heh, don't mention it! ”

Lao Luo's words are true, the number of 1.5 million does sound like a lot, but Li Deming can only command the closest 300,000 party members at most, and among these 300,000 people, excluding the old and young, how many can be selected as soldiers?

In addition, the party members also had to take into account the mobilization of manpower to defend against the possible invasion of the Eastern Zhao and Song dynasties and the Northern Liao.

Li Deming also knows the truth of what Lao Luo said, but Lao Luo's flirtatious tone is obviously too unbearable, especially Li Deming, who has been following his father Li Jiqian to the east and west all the year round, how can he not accept the contempt of others for his soldiers, even if this person previously led troops to defeat and capture him, the general who led the troops.

So, Li Deming, who was a little angry, said in an angry tone: "General Luo inevitably underestimated the party soldiers under the general!" ”

"No, Luo never underestimated anyone!" Lao Luo shook his head and denied it, and then added an irritating sentence, "The most important thing is that you lost the battle with the Turks and Qarluq, and the people led by this general won!" ”

It's a bit trivial, but it's a big truth!

Li Deming was speechless for a while, no matter how much he said, his fists were not hard enough, who would blame him?

It's just that he can endure it, but the alchemy next to him can't help it, he tore off the sackcloth on his head that wrapped the wound, got up angrily and said, "General Luo, what kind of ability do your people have to win the sneak attack?" Have the ability to open a dignified fight! ”

"Dignified?" Lao Luo also stood up, looked at the brave general who was half a head shorter than himself, and said, "It's okay, give you a chance to be upright!" A certain can release the 380 people who were captured at the same time as you, and the same number will be released on the general's side, which is just like a game! But can you be the master of your generals? How about winning? What if you lose? ”

As soon as Lao Luo's words were finished, Yumuduo set his eyes on his leader.

Li Deming made a difficulty, and if he didn't agree, he would definitely lose the morale of his closest subordinates, so agree, and he was really worried about the fate of the other soldiers, because he knew that Lao Luo must be sure if he said it, and the only thing that needed to be measured was whether this kind of battle was worth it.

"King!" Yumuduo knelt down on one knee in front of Li Deming and bowed his head and said: "The warriors on the grassland are not afraid of life and death, but they cannot accept the failure of conspiracy and trickery!" ”

"That's it!" Li Deming sighed, the stout fellow clan in front of him was loyal, but his brain was not very bright, and at this point, he couldn't help what he was doing, and he might be able to gain something by pushing the boat down the river.

So Li Deming picked up the last loyal subordinate beside him, stood up and said to Lao Luo: "According to the rules of the grassland, the same number of soldiers will fight a decisive battle, the winner will be Wang Khan, and the loser will be a slave, will General Luo dare?!" ”

Is there a custom of dueling on the grassland in this era? Lao Luo didn't know, but he knew that such a competition should actually be regarded as a means to resolve the contradiction and avoid greater losses.

Since Li Deming has this determination and courage, who is Lao Luo afraid of? For him, such a duel is not too risky, but it can dispel Li Deming's resistance to the greatest extent, and at the same time, it can also warn some prisoners who are not very peaceful.

"Good!" Lao Luo cheered, "A certain family doesn't need to bully you with heavy horses, just use the people who captured you that night, so that you can be convinced!" ”

Kida's eyes turned red in an instant.

……

Four hours later, it was already late in the afternoon, and the empty field at least 800 meters square between the Judge Advocate Advocate General and the prisoner training camp was filled with crowds of people watching the battle on the east and west sides - the people from the private sector and the prisoners who were training and resting all acted as witnesses, and even the people of Polo City and some accompanying businessmen from the rear team came to see the excitement, and the north and south directions of the empty field were neatly lined up with two groups of people.

On the north side of the empty field were the remaining 380 henchmen who had fled with Li Deming, who put on their former leather armor and chain mail, retrieved their original weapons, and of course their original mounts, and led them by Yu Muduo, a famous warrior among the party members.

These party fighters have basically recovered from their former injuries (they were all slightly injured that night, and no one paid attention to the serious injuries at all), and most of them now look like bullfights with red eyes.

On the south side, of course, is Alker, Hasna and Fisher's party, the number of people who played the game is also 380 people, and the same lineup is ready to go, but compared to the opposite side, their demeanor is much more calm, of course, it is not a light enemy, but a belief in victory.

Alker, who was the leader, looked ahead and said to the two guys beside him: "Later, the horn sounds, Hasna will lead your men directly through the enemy formation, and my men will sweep the formation with crossbow arrows on the west side, Fisher, you will lead people to hold back, how about it?" ”

"Don't worry, white circles!" Hasna spit out the straw stick in his mouth, gritted his teeth and said: "These bastards who don't know what to do, they should have killed them all last time, and they dared to make trouble, and after a while, Uncle Boar will overturn them all!" ”

Fisher rolled his eyes and said in a helpless tone: "Hasner, you bastard be a little more restrained, the Lord just said, the others don't care, take the lead and try to spare his life." ”

"Well, I don't understand why the general didn't just order, since he was disobedient, how worry-free it would be to kill them all." Haasna said with a puff in his nostrils.

"Shut up, you wild boar from the forest!" Alker was a little annoyed, scolded a little, and then said: "After walking thousands of miles, when did you see that the general had done something wrong!" Just know kill kill kill, now it's not in the gladiatorial arena! ”

"And said that it was not in the gladiatorial arena...... Oh, what are you hitting me for......" Haas's muttered before he could finish his sentence when Fisher's scabbard smacked him away.

……

Lao Luo, who was standing on the northwest observation deck, squinted his eyes and looked at the field, and then looked at the soldiers on the two sides who were constantly adjusting their states and waiting for the horn signal, and asked Li Deming who was following him: "General Li, you still have one last chance to regret it, and now it's too late to stop this battle!" ”

Li Deming closed his eyes in some pain, and said in a deep voice: "No, let's start the herald!" ”

In fact, as time passed, when he arrived at the empty field, he regretted it a little, first, he didn't expect that there would be so many people watching the battle, his former subordinates, those Han soldiers, were impressively listed, and second, the equipment of the two sides was too different!

The gap between the war horses is not very large, but more than half of the cavalry on Lao Luo's side are full of metal armor, and the horses are also heavily defended...... When he was attacked that night, he was unable to see the enemy's equipment clearly due to panic. But now, in broad daylight, everything is in front of him, he is not one of Zhao Song's scholars and supervisors, how can he not tell the huge gap?

However, now that he is bound to ride a tiger, does he still have a choice?
