Chapter 435: Fighting Ah Shu Again
After seeing the Mongolian cavalry's cavalry and archery skills, Lu Wende couldn't help but secretly praise: "The Mongolian cavalry and archery skills are indeed unique in the world." β
Lu Wenhuan asked: "Dashuai, with the musketeers against the Mongolian cavalry archers, I don't know what will happen to the victory?" β
Lu Wende thought for a while and said: "It's hard to say, Ben Shuai doesn't know the roots of the musketeers, but the Mongol stone throwers will definitely not be the enemy of my artifacts, if I fire at several artifacts at the same time, the opponent's more than 20 stone throwers will be destroyed soon." β
Lu Wenhuan nodded and said, "Well, there is no doubt about this." Your Majesty said that the production of artifacts and their ammunition is very complicated, and if they are used at a critical time, at that time, they will surely surprise Mongolia. β
Lu Wende laughed and said: "It's not just a big surprise, according to Ben Shuai, the Mongols will definitely be frightened." β
Lu Shikui, the main general of the East Gate, who was directing the battle on the city wall, saw that the two were still chattering, for fear that the Mongols' feather arrows or gravel would hit and hurt the two commanders, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Two commanders, you better go down first, there is a general here." β
Lu Wende said: "It's okay, Ben Shuai hasn't seen the actual battle scene with the Mongols for many years, so you should take a good look at it today." Shikui, you go to command the battle, your third uncle is here, and it will be fine. β
Lu Shikui thought about it, with the third uncle Lu Wenxin here, these feather arrows, stones and the like really couldn't hurt his father and second uncle, so he said "be careful" and returned to the front line.
Lu Wenhuan said: "Dashuai, I haven't seen you for a few years, and the Mongolian stone thrower seems to have improved a lot." β
Lu Wende said "En" and said: "Yes, the Mongols seem to have worked the stone thrower in order to attack the city, but the stone thrower will eventually be defeated by the artifact of our dynasty." β
"Two brothers, you keep talking about the artifact, what is the power of this artifact?" Lu Wenxin on the side asked.
"This ......"
"Report." Before Lu Wende could answer, he listened to a herald from Lu Wenfu's department at the north gate, "A large number of Mongolian troops have been found at the north gate. β
"Who's the leader?"
"Judging from the flag, it should be the Mongolian marshal Ashu."
"Ashu?" Lu Wende said, "Sure enough, he arrived, no wonder Azhuhan also launched an attack today." Shi Meng, instructed Shi Kui, be careful to defend. Ladies and gentlemen, let's go, and follow Ben Shuai to the north gate to have a look. β
The number of Mongol troops outside the north gate of Xiangyang City was also about 10,000, half of which were cavalry, lined up on both sides of the ranks. The northern part of the city is not as flat as the eastern part of the city, and a little further away is a large area of low hills.
From the point of view, one of the generals, about in his early forties, carrying a spear, riding majestically on a silver-white war horse, this war horse is about one meter six or seven high, with a high head, no matter who can easily see that the famous general, the famous gun, the famous horse.
A famous commander is matched with a famous gun, and a famous general is matched with a good horse.
"What a general, what a war horse." Lu Wende praised.
Lu Wenxin introduced: "Dashuai, this person is the generalissimo of the Mongolian expedition to the south, Ashu, the spear in his hand is Suluding, who is known as the Mongolian artifact, and the war horse under the step should be a good horse in the Western Regions called the sweat and blood horse." β
Sweaty horses are produced in the Western Regions, the common coat color is light gold, jujube red, silver white and black four kinds, its body is full and graceful, the head is thin and the neck is high, the limbs are slender, the skin is thin and hairy, the pace is light and elegant, the body shape is slender and graceful, and the neck is curved and high. After Zhang Qian returned from his mission to the Western Regions, he once said: "There are many good horses in the Western Regions, and horses sweat and blood." Therefore, since the Han Dynasty, this kind of Western Regions horse has been mysteriously called "sweat and blood horse".
In the battle of Anyang Beach on the same day, Ashu horse lost its front hoof and was almost killed by Lu Wenxin, after returning, Kublai Khan specially gave Ashu one of his three royal horses, the sweat and blood of the horse, this war horse is called "Shen Yong", which was brought back from the Western Regions by Ali Hague four years ago and presented to Kublai Khan.
Surrounding Ah Shu are four generals, Ali Hague, Guo Kan, Atahai and Zhang Hongfan.
At the same time that Lu Wenxin recognized Ah Shu, Ah Shu also saw Lu Wenxin on the city tower and the generals of the Xiangyang Army. As for Lu Wenxin's side, the Southern Dynasty general in the center must be Lu Wende, the commander of the Xiangyang Army. Although he has done research on the main generals of the Xiangyang Army, Ah Shu has not seen Lu Wende with his own eyes, since he can be above Lu Wenxin, the first master of the Xiangyang Army, there are only Lu Wende and Lu Wenhuan brothers.
Ah Shu slapped his horse forward, came to the city alone, and said to Lu Wenxin on the city wall: "General Lu, I haven't seen you for a few months, and you have always been fine?" β
Lu Wenxin said loudly: "I'm very good, but I'm very bad. β
Both of them were full of energy, and everyone present could hear it clearly.
Ashulerma said: "What does General Lu mean? β
"Marshal Ashu, Lu is very good, what I said is that Lu is in good health, after the first battle of Anyang Beach, Lu often thinks about the marshal's body, I don't know if he has recovered?"
"If you don't worry about the general, Ben Shuai's body will be fine at all."
"What Lu said is very bad, it means that my Great Song Dynasty territory has been invaded by you, and there are robbers close in front of you, no matter who it is, you will feel very bad."
Ah Shu smiled: "General Lu, you Han people have an ancient saying, in the world, the virtuous live in it." At present, the territory of our dynasty has been six or seven out of ten, and your Song Dynasty has been defeated by the Jin people a hundred years ago, and it has been sluggish, the dynasty is not right, and the national strength is declining. General LΓΌ, you are a talent, you should know the current affairs, and together with us, under the leadership of the Great Khan, we will rebuild a unified and harmonious unified country. β
Lu Wenxin is a martial artist, and he can't talk about Ah Shu, who is both civil and military, and sneered: "The reason of the robbers, Marshal Ashu, don't say anything more, let's see the real chapter under my subordinates." β
"Okay." Ah Shu said, "In the last battle, you and I won or lost, General Lu is an opponent that the commander respects very much, before our army attacks, let us both cheer for this big battle." β
Lu Wenxin tightly held the broken war knife in his hand and moved his gaze to Lu Wende beside him.
"Third child, are you sure?" Lu Wende knew that Lu Wenxin would fight with Ah Shu sooner or later, but if he failed in the first battle, it would inevitably affect the morale of the Xiangyang army.
"Don't worry, Dashuai, with the Broken Sword, the last general has the confidence to fight with Ah Shu again."
Lu Wende nodded: "In that case, Ben Shuai personally led the Black Carbon Regiment out of the city to cheer for you." β
"No, the marshal is the chief general of our army, how can he easily go out of the city, Ah Shu is not a villain, since it is said that it is good to go alone, it is better for the last general to go out of the city alone."
Lu Wenhuan said: "Handsome, what the third child said is reasonable. β
Regarding Ashu's style of generals, Lu Wende also made a detailed analysis: "Okay, Wenfu, open the city gate." β
Lu Wenxin held a broken sword, stepped on the war horse, and soon appeared outside Xiangyang City.
"General Lu, I didn't expect you to find a good weapon so quickly." Although Ah Shu didn't know the Broken Sword, he could feel that this knife was not an ordinary thing, and as a general on horseback, he was very fond of weapons and war horses, and he praised him as soon as he met.
Lu Wenxin said proudly: "Marshal Ashu, you have listened, this knife is called Broken Capture, it is given by my Majesty, today in front of the soldiers of the three armies, see if it is your Su Luding is powerful, or my Broken Warrior Knife is majestic." β
When Ah Shu heard that the name of this knife was "Broken Capture", he secretly disliked it, and he no longer said much, his face sank, and Su Luding pointed the tip of his gun upwards and said, "General Lu, come on." β
This is the second meeting between the two.
The war horses were staggered, the knives were like tigers, and the guns were like dragons, and the two fought in one place again.
For masters of the realm like Ah Shu and Lu Wenxin, it is very rare to meet an opponent who can match it. As the generalissimo of Mongolia, Ah Shu has high martial arts, and has few opponents in his country, even if there are a few people such as Boyan who can match, but they can't enjoy themselves, and only when they meet Lu Wenxin in the enemy camp can they let go of the battle. Ah Shu was full of confidence in his martial arts, and with Su Luding in his hands, he hoped to defeat Lu Wenxin as the beginning of the Song and Meng Wars.
In the past few months, Ah Shu has conducted a detailed study of Lu Wenxin's knife technique, although he has understood the other party's knife technique, and knows that the Lu family's knife technique is thick and simple, not as subtle as its wind and cloud thunder and lightning tricks, but it cannot be completely cracked.
For today's unexpected battle, both sides seem to have done their homework. Ah Shu spear waved, took the lead in attacking, and Su Luding in his hand flew up and down, like a smart dragon, and attacked several moves in an instant. And Lu Wenxin, who had the sword in his hand, also showed no weakness, and the big knife blocked left and right, crackling, and blocked Ashu's serial attacks one after another.
Except for a few people on both sides who could see the game between the two clearly, most of them only had swords and guns in their eyes.
Thirty rounds later, Lu Wenxin glanced at his broken knife, saw that the knife edge was intact, and his confidence increased greatly, and suddenly increased his strength, pressing Su Luding below with two consecutive knives, and shouted at the same time: "Take a certain three moves." After that, Lu Wenxin's knife technique changed, and he switched from defense to attack, using the stunt "woodcutter three kills" in the Lu family's knife technique.
The ancestors of the Lu family were originally woodcutters who chopped firewood in the mountains, and after the skills were completed, they refined the knife skills realized from chopping wood into seven killing moves, and named the woodcutter seven kills, these seven moves are all offensive moves, and then after the three generations of the Lu family practiced, the old and the new, streamlined into three styles, that is, today's woodcutter three kills. In the Battle of Anyang Beach, Lu Wenxin's broadsword was subject to Ashu's Suluding, and could only focus on defense.
At this time, seeing that the broken war knife was not damaged at all, he used his housekeeping skills. Driven by Lu Wenxin's internal force, the Breaking Knife buzzed and slashed towards Ah Shu.
