Chapter 209: Fighting General (1)

Qin Dong was originally so angry, he thought that he was already very shameless, but he didn't expect that this Helorius's face was so thick, it was really unexpected! was about to be furious, but suddenly remembered that this was on the battlefield, as a commander-in-chief, any fierce emotional fluctuations were very unfavorable for commanding the operation, he was in control of his feelings, and said loudly: "This matter is the territorial dispute between my Hun Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire and the Germanic people in this region, and now the Eastern Empire has carte blanche to entrust this general to deal with this matter, this is not about your country, His Excellency the Legion Commander insists on interfering in the middle, so you are in charge of this idle matter, Your Excellency General, You have to think clearly, you have to bear the consequences of this qiē alone! ”

Helorius said lightly: "General Qin, it was the leader of Odoases who invited us here, you have to make this clear, it is not that we intervened in your dispute without authorization, and I am just a soldier, I just obey the orders from above, I hope Your Excellency the general can understand!" ”

If there is no reason to start a war, not only will the people be puzzled, but even the officers and soldiers of their own army will not know why they are fighting, so from ancient times to the present, no matter which country in the world, as long as there is a war, the side that takes the lead in initiating the war must find a reason to put itself on the moral high ground, so that the soldiers and officers can serve the death, can they give them enough confidence, and can they win the support of the people. Otherwise, the war will be lost.

That's all for it, and it's all in vain to say anything else. Qin Dong didn't bother to speak anymore, and said loudly: "Okay, since your country must be nosy. Naturally, my Hun Empire is not afraid of things, let's use knives and guns to decide who has the right to speak! It's very simple for you to let me quit Lazlog, as long as someone defeats this weapon in my hand, I, Qin Dong, don't say a word, immediately lead the troops back to the grassland, and swear not to step into Lazlog again for the rest of my life! Who dares to fight me? ”

As he spoke, Qin Dong had already stepped forward. With a swing of the three-pointed and two-edged knife in his right hand, the war horse ran to the middle of the two military formations and stopped, and kept kicking the horse's hooves. Still neighing loudly, Qin Dong stroked the horse's mane to soothe the war horse's irritability.

When Helorius and some of his generals saw Qin Dong's behavior, they didn't understand what he meant, and Helorius turned his head to the generals around him: "What does he want to do?" Does anyone of you know? ”

Commanders, look at me. I'll look at you. Obviously, he didn't understand the meaning of Qin Dong's move, but soon a scholar-like person stepped forward and saluted: "General, as far as I know, this is a phenomenon in the Eastern War, called 'Fighting General', before the battle, one of the parties sent a general-level figure out to challenge, and he could ride a horse. It is also possible not to ride a horse, and the other side must send a general out to meet the battle. The level of the generals sent out should be equivalent to the other party, if the level is too low, the other party will think that it has been insulted, and the opponent can also send a general of a higher level than the other party, which is an honor for the other party, of course, the main general is not light to fight! ”

A wing commander next to him asked, "What if we don't send people to meet the battle, but directly attack the city?" ”

The scholar glanced at the captain of the wing, his eyes contained a sneer, but his mouth said: "General, if we don't send people to meet the battle or the general loses the battle, and the people involved are killed, it will make the morale of the soldiers low, which is very unfavorable to us. ”

Herolius' eyes lit up after listening to the scholar's introduction, he did not expect that there would be such a thing in the war in the East, and if anyone thought that it was a barbaric act, it would be a big mistake, not only an art of war, but also a full reflection of the superb wisdom and broad mind of the person who invented this phenomenon of battle.

If it can be resolved between two generals, why let the soldiers be killed and wounded on a large scale? The defeat of one side of the general will inevitably cause the overall morale of the army to be low, which is very beneficial to the other side's next all-round attack, if the morale of both sides is very high, it will definitely be bloodied, and in the end it may be a defeat for both sides, even the victorious side must be a tragic victory, and the way of fighting generals can reduce the casualties of soldiers on a large scale, and it is easy for soldiers to surrender after being demoralized, and it is easy to escape.

However, there is also a big risk in the fighter, who can guarantee that he will be able to win in the fighter? It's okay to win, but what if it fails? The only thing he can do is to retreat first for the time being, after all, Qin Dong didn't say that he wanted to bet with him, and if he lost, he would withdraw this flower, Qin Dong just said that if he defeated him, he would lead his troops back to the grassland.

After thinking about it, Helorius still decided to send people into battle to meet him, since the other party has issued a challenge, if he does not meet the battle, it will inevitably make the morale drop as a whole, whether he attacks or not, it is very unfavorable to his own side.

Seeing that Qin Dong was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he was extremely tall and burly, he must be a brave general, he looked left and right, and found that only a few of these wing captains and centurions under his command were worthy of fighting Qin Dong, he first ordered one of the centurions of the fifth wing, "Yez, you go!" ”

"Yes, General!" After Ye Zi saluted on his horse, he immediately drew the big sword at his waist, and with his left hand, he controlled the reins and rode his horse towards Qin Dong.

Yez is about twenty years old, he is the youngest among some centurions, his body is average, slightly taller than normal people, not the kind of person who is five big and three thick, but to underestimate him is to suffer, so young to be a centurion itself shows that his strength is extraordinary.

Seeing a young general galloping towards him on horseback, Qin Dong laughed secretly in his heart when he saw it, this guy is not good at riding, and he even wants to ride a horse to fight with him? Isn't this looking for death?

Qin Dong clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and snorted lightly, and the war horse ran out to meet Ye Zi who came from the opposite side, the Roman Empire did not pay much attention to cavalry in this era, and there were few generals with strong horse combat strength among the generals, and they could only ride horses, but it was not a simple matter to kill the enemy on a horse, Ye Zi knew very well that he was not very proficient in horsemanship, and his kung fu was average, and he would definitely suffer if he wanted to fight with the Hun generals, so he did not plan to fight with Qin Dong on horseback.

I saw Ye Zi riding a horse and rushing to the opposite side of Qin Dong not far away, and immediately flew up from the horse, his whole body soared into the air, and he slashed at the top of Qin Dong's head with a big sword in both hands.

"Ahh

Qin Dong was taken aback at first when he saw Ye Zi's movements, but soon sneered in his heart, the human body has no focus in the air, it is difficult to even change moves, and he can't use his strength to dodge, this kind of fighting is purely an act of looking for death, unless he trains his body to be flexible and abnormal, and can control every muscle in his body as he wants, otherwise don't do this kind of aerial fighting action.

Qin Dong saw the other party's sword coming, and immediately held the three-pointed two-edged knife in both hands and stabbed upward, and did not make any other superfluous movements other than that, you must know that the three-pointed and two-edged blades are long weapons, although Ye Zi's big sword is not a short weapon, but it is definitely not as long as the length of the three-pointed two-edged knife that is a long weapon, as the so-called one inch long and one inch strong, Ye Zi's sword has not yet slashed to the top of Qin Dong's head, Qin Dong's three-pointed and two-edged knife has stabbed him in the chest at a very fast speed, and he is in the air and rushed towards Qin Dong with all his strength, didn't even have a chance to turn over and dodge, he was pierced through the chest by Qin Dong, the big sword also fell to the ground, and the whole person was strung together by a three-pointed two-edged knife.

Qin Dong blew in his mouth: "Law-" Let the war horse stop running, and seeing that Ye Zi was too dead to die anymore, he threw the three-pointed two-edged knife, and Ye Zi's corpse fell to the ground with a thud and did not move.

There was no sound on the entire battlefield except for the wind, but immediately after that, there was a high cheer from the side of the Hun army, "The general is mighty, the general is mighty, roar, roar, roar!" ”

The coalition army lost, and the entire army was silent, but there was a sense of loss in the air, and their own generals were killed without even blocking the enemy generals, which made the coalition soldiers not only have a strong sense of loss, but also the desire to fight. Hope is greatly reduced!

Qin Dong looked at the side of the coalition army and shouted, "Who else dares to come and send him to death?" Who else? ”

Helorius's face is extremely ugly, it is not good to be out of the division, this time the fighting general, send a person to be killed without even holding a move, this is too fast, what should I do? Do you continue to send people to meet the battle, or do you withdraw?

Qin Dong was still shouting in place: "What? Didn't the dignified Western Empire even have a single warrior? One was killed just now, and everyone else was scared? Hahaha, the bad seeds, they are all a group of bad seeds, and you guys still dare to come over and fight against me Qin Dong? You're not qualified enough! ”

Helorius listened to Qin Dong's words, and his face was immediately blue with anger, and the others were even more angry, and one by one the group was excited, and the captain of the third wing, Flora, blushed and asked for his life: "General, please let me go into battle to kill him!" ”

Helorius took a few deep breaths and asked, "Flora, are you sure?" If you fail again, then it will be very bad for us! ”

"My subordinates promise to give you the head of the Hun barbarian as a gift!" At this time, Flora can only say this, if he wants to say whether he is sure or not, in fact, he has no bottom in his own heart, unless he has a lot of personal combat experience, and he can see the depth of Qin Dong to know how much he is sure.

Herolius patted Flora on the shoulder and said, "You must be careful, even if you can't fight, you must hold on, I will send someone to help you in time, after all, there is no rule that the fighting generals can only be one against one, so you must not be careless, understand?" ”

"Yes, General, I'll be careful!" (To be continued......)
