Chapter 4: A New Contest
The two of them may have thought of it together, and when they arrived at the post station, they had a simple rest, and after lunch, they each straightened out their people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info In an open space to the east of the inn, each lined up.
When the king saw Li Xiaoquan's team, he was secretly frightened, and said in his heart that Li Xiaoquan didn't seem to be an ordinary hand, these soldiers, standing and sitting, were not chaotic at all.
Li Xiaoquan looked at the king-level team, and he didn't dare to underestimate it in his heart.
At this time, the two were polite and no longer-for-tat. Wang said: "General Li, how do you see how we compare the high and the low?" ”
Li Xiaoquan said: "General Wang, let's say it, you can compare us as you say, what do you think?" ”
The king clapped his hands and said, "Okay, refreshing." The key to our army's victory is the bow and arrow, do you dare to compete with our army with the bow and arrow? ”
Li Xiaoquan squinted at the king and said, "Why don't you dare?" ”
The king was indifferent, and said with a smile: "Then how to compare, does General Li have ideas?" ”
Li Xiao nodded expressionlessly and said, "You can say whatever you want, it's our victory anyway." ”
The king listened to it and thought to himself: I don't know how thick the sky is, wait a minute, let you know that it is powerful.
The king said: "In this way, let's first dismount the cavalry and shoot, and then ride and shoot, what do you think?" ”
Li Xiaoquan nodded and said, "I said it, as long as you say the way, we will follow the way you say." ”
With a wave of his hand, the hundred guards of his own were already ready, and the arrow targets in front of him were also ready.
I saw the king level wave his hand and say: "Put"
I saw those guards holding their bows and arrows, raising their bows with their left hands and pulling up their bowstrings with their right hands, and the sound of "whoosh" sounded, and I saw that the arrows were shot at the arrow targets one by one, and none of them fell. From a distance, the bows and arrows were still shaking, but they were still firmly rooted in the target.
The guards left, and with a wave of his hand, his cavalry stood up, but it was at least 20 paces longer than the target.
The king laughed secretly in his heart: At such a distance, a fierce general can't shoot at an arrow target, let alone an ordinary soldier.
The king was laughing secretly, only to see Li Xiaoquan wave his hand, and the arrows of these cavalrymen were off the string, and they were firmly rooted on the arrow targets one by one.
Li Xiaoquan turned his head, looked at Wang with a smile and said, "General Wang, let's talk about the archery kung fu of our soldiers." ”
The king wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Admire, admire." Consider oneself inferior to another. ”
The king's face was solemn, and his eyes looked carefully at the bow and arrow of Li Xiaoquan's soldiers, the bow was much larger than the bow of his own soldiers, and the arrows looked different, they looked much harder, because the distance of many bows and arrows into the arrow target was almost much deeper than his own, although it was 20 steps longer than the distance of his own guard.
Wang level waved his hand and said: "General Li, I don't think we can compete with cavalry and shooting, I admit defeat." ”
Li Xiaoquan said: "That's good, even if it's a tie." What do you see below? ”
The king sighed and said: "Even if the draw is good, my guards are usually sword-based, and the bow and arrow lack practice, so they are not as good as you who are long outside the fortress and diligent in arching horses." Do you have any comments if you compare knives? ”
Li Xiaoquan laughed and said, "Okay, I just said, you can compare as much as you want." ”
The king gritted his teeth viciously and said, "How about testing the sword, can your cavalry dare to fight?" ”
Li Xiaoquan smiled again: "Of course you can, but the sword is ruthless, I'm afraid there will be too many injuries together, how do you see the fight?" ”
"Good" Wang level saw the hope of revenge, his eyes lit up, he knew that these guards of his had been on the battlefield for a long time, and they had a good kung fu in their hands, and they really couldn't think of a reason to lose against Li Xiaoquan's hundred people.
Two hundred people stood facing each other, the king-level side drew out the ring head knife, and the people on Li Xiaoquan's side drew out the saber. The king saw that the saber was thin and small, and thought that the ring head knife was shorter, and this knife was shorter than the ring head knife. couldn't help but smile, and Li Xiaoquan on the other side said, "General Wang, what's the matter, so funny?" ”
The king shook his head and said, "It's nothing, let's start." ”
He gave an order, the first soldier took a step forward, raised his right hand, from top to bottom, obliquely cut down, the Pingzhou soldiers on the opposite side were naturally not to be outdone, also took a step forward, raised the knife from the bottom to the top of the sea to catch the moon, lifted up, only to hear the sound of ding, firelight, snap. When everyone looked, they saw that half of the knife had fallen on the grass.
The two soldiers who were fighting each other, each holding their own knives, took a step back and looked down at their own knives. Everyone's eyes also looked at it together, only to see that only half of the king-level soldier's ring-head knife was in his hand, and the other half had fallen to the ground. The king level also kept watching intently, and he was also angry with his own soldier in his heart, and he didn't check his knife before going on the field, and hurriedly went up, so he had to come down in embarrassment.
The king shouted: "Don't retreat yet." ”
The soldier, bowing his head, turned and retreated.
The king-level looked at his soldiers and said, "Check your ring-head sword." ”
The soldiers bowed their heads and took a closer look at their swords. After a while, seeing that there was no problem, I stood in line again. The king said to the soldier who was second in line: "Come forward."
The soldier stepped forward and nodded at the Pingzhou soldier opposite, and the Pingzhou soldier on the opposite side also nodded. The king-level soldier slowly raised his knife in his right hand this time, and was just about to stab forward, but the saber of the Pingzhou soldier on the opposite side had been slashed down from top to bottom, and with a "ding" sound, the fire splashed everywhere, and there was a "snap" sound. Everyone looked over and saw that the king-level soldier was only holding the hilt of the knife in his hand. The entire ring head knife has been cut off by the Pingzhou soldiers.
The king was shocked and ran to the place where the two were fighting. As soon as he raised his hand, he took the saber from the hands of the Pingzhou soldiers, looked at it carefully, and then took the ring head knife from his own queue, he held the ring head knife in his left hand and the saber in his right hand. I saw him stretch out his left hand with a knife and raise his saber with his right hand, and the two knives were shining in the sun. Before everyone could see the king's gesture clearly, they only heard a dinging sound, a snap, and everyone knew that another ring-headed knife was broken.
The king handed the saber to his left hand, and with a wave of his right hand, someone sent another ring-headed knife. Everyone saw a flash of cold light and a ding, and this time there was no knife break. Seeing him flip his left hand again, turn the blade of the saber upwards, and wave the ring-head knife again, everyone heard the snap again, and knew that the ring-head knife was broken again.
The king shook his head, waved his hand, and let his soldiers retreat, there was no need to compete again, there was no chance of winning, only more humiliation.
The king took the saber and came to the front of Li Xiaoquan next to him and said: "General Li, I really admire it, I think this knife is too strong my knife is too strong, I admit defeat, and I don't compare it below, it's you who are powerful." ”
Li Xiaoquan laughed: "That's good." ”
"General Li, look at your knife, it will cost a lot of money to fight, right?"
"I don't know how much it is, it's just that our entire army has sabers like this."
Wang Shi shook his head and smiled: "General Li, I'm afraid this is impossible, this is a treasure sword, presumably you are prepared, right?" ”
Listening to the meaning of the king's words, Li Xiaoquan had already prepared the treasure sword, and then showed his might. Although the king level lost, he also lost because he was unprepared.
Li Xiaoquan said: "If you don't believe it, I can't do anything, but this knife is ordinary for me, if you like it, how about giving it to you?" ”
The hand holding the knife trembled slightly, and said, "General Li, you're not joking, are you?" This knife was given to us, and I am talking about all these sabers? ”
Li Xiaoquan said: "What is a hundred sabers, if you like it, I will give it to you." ”
After Li Xiaoquan finished speaking, he turned around and called his own soldiers, and made arrangements, and after a while, these sabers were transferred to the hands of king-level soldiers. Look at these soldiers again, holding these knives, looking at them repeatedly, touching their hands, rubbing the back of their knives, holding the hilt of the knives, and swinging them forward twice, as if this knife was a rare and rare thing.
Seeing these people so happy, Li Xiaoquan took another bow and handed it over to the king. The king examined the bow carefully, and then ran to the target and tried a few arrows, and shouted repeatedly: "Good bow, good bow." No wonder you all shot so far just now. ”
The king level suddenly regarded Li Xiaoquan as a good friend, and pulled Li Xiaoquan to ask this and that, Li Xiaoquan didn't expect these weapons to play such a big role, he knew that the status of the king level was super high, and it was said that he would not put these things in his eyes.
He thought that these special weapons in Pingzhou were treasures that many generals dreamed of, he was just used to it and didn't care about it, but in the eyes of the king, this Li Xiaoquan was enough friends.
In the afternoon of the same day, both teams stayed at the post station, resting, partying, drinking, and everyone had a lot of fun. During the play, Li Xiaoquan found a young man named Li Tong, who was very fond of asking questions, especially about the business of Xianwu City.
Li Xiaoquan doesn't do business, and he doesn't know much about it, so he has to briefly introduce him, and later, it was the king who came over and told Li Xiaoquan that this Li Tong was unusual.
He is a member of the Li family, a big family in Nanyang, and his family is extremely rich and luxurious, and now looking at the business of Xianwu City, it seems that he intends to come here to do business. Li Xiaoquan was also very generous, saying that he would introduce some wealthy businessmen in Xianwu City to him, and he would be regarded as a great support for Li Tong.
Whether it is Li Tong or the king level, they are all very happy.
The next day, the whole team marched to Pingzhou Mansion again. Because the relationship between the two sides is closer and they get along with each other, everyone is also talking and laughing along the way.
