Chapter 674: No Strength to Fight Back
"My lord, by all means." Without waiting for Li Yuntian to reply to Halbala, Gu Liyu on the side hurriedly shouted to stop him, bowed his hand at Li Yuntian and said, "The sword and gun have no eyes, and the safety of the adults is the most important." β
"Your safety is paramount!" Pei Jun and the others then bowed down one after another to dissuade Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian's identity was so noble, how could he take such a risk!
Besides, Halbara is just a captive, where is he qualified to challenge Li Yuntian?
"Don't be impatient, this official has his own arrangements." Li Yuntian knew that Gu Liyu, Pei Jun and the others were worried about his safety, and he was not ready to fight with Halbara, so he comforted everyone with a smile, then looked up at Halbara, and raised the arquebus in his hand at him, "As long as you can rush in front of this official, then you will win this game." β
"You don't regret it!" Seeing Li Yuntian's tone so arrogant, Halbara couldn't help but sneer and said, the Mongolian cavalry charged on the battlefield and could be described as invincible, and the European heavy cavalry could be said to have fought back then.
"A gentleman's word, a quick horse." Li Yuntian smiled slightly and replied in a deep voice.
"Damn!" Looking at Li Yuntian, who was confident, Halbara couldn't help but clench his fists, ready to teach the arrogant guy in front of him a lesson, and let him know how powerful the Mongolian cavalry was.
One hundred zhang is about 300 meters away, Li Yuntian and Harbara are on the north and south sides of the prison area respectively, the scene is silent, and everyone is quietly waiting for the duel to begin.
Unlike the halbara on horseback, Li Yuntian stood there with an arquebus on his shoulder, putting on a defensive posture, obviously compared to the horsemanship, he was not the opponent of the halbara who had lived on horseback since he was a child, so it was better to defend.
"Let's go!" A military attache standing in the center of the venue glanced at Li Yuntian and Halbara, saw that both of them had made a ready gesture, and then waved a small flag in his hand, quickly turned around and ran away.
"Drive!" Seeing this, Halbara's face turned cold, and after pulling out the scimitar on his waist, he clamped the horse's belly with both legs, and the horses under him immediately rushed towards Li Yuntian.
"Wow~~"
Seeing this, the captives, who had been silent, immediately cheered and waved their arms to cheer for Halbara.
Li Yuntianping picked up the arquebus, aimed the muzzle of the gun at the rushing Harbara, the effective range of the arquebus in his hand is 100 meters, and it can inflict fatal damage on the Harbara at a distance of 100 meters.
"Victory!" Seeing that the captives were cheering up Halbala, Gu Liyu raised his right hand, clenched his fists and cheered Li Yuntian loudly.
"Victory! Win! Winning ......"
The sergeant of the Xiaowu Army in the courtyard and on the fence immediately waved his right fist neatly and roared, and because of the uniformity of the voice, it sounded like a mountain roaring tsunami, and the momentum was huge, and it immediately overwhelmed the captives in momentum.
At this moment, the most entangled mood is none other than Nuomin, she has already understood Li Yuntian's marksmanship, if Li Yuntian shoots Harbara on horseback, then Harbara will be severely injured nine times out of ten, she doesn't want to make Harbara's life in danger in order to save her mother.
However, the situation in front of her was beyond Numin's control, and the only thing she could do now was to pray to Changshengtian, hoping that Li Yuntian would win this contest and that Harbara would not be hurt too much.
When he was about two hundred meters away from Li Yuntian, Harbara suddenly made a movement of turning over and dismounting, pedaling the stirrup with one foot, and quickly curled up and hid on the outside of the horse's back, so that the horse's body was used to block Li Yuntian's line of sight.
When the Mongol army swept across Eurasia, the European heavy cavalry with spears in their hands were overwhelmed by the Mongol cavalry, and the Mongol cavalry rushed to them smoothly.
Seeing this, the corners of Li Yuntian's mouth suddenly showed a hint of a smile, Harbara was obviously afraid of his marksmanship by performing this move at such a distance, but this move was useless to him, because the object he wanted to shoot was not Harbara, but the horse that Harbara was riding.
In order to inflict fatal damage on the horse, Li Yuntian quietly waited for the approach of Halbara, and the muzzle of the gun was firmly aimed at the horse's forehead.
In Li Yuntian's opinion, with the flight speed of the projectile and the impact speed of the horse, once the projectile hits its forehead, it will cause the most lethal damage to the horse, and then Halbara will lose its greatest advantage in the competition.
As Halbara got closer and closer to Li Yuntian, Gu Liyu and the others' expressions became more and more nervous: in case Li Yuntian couldn't hit Halbara with one shot, then before Li Yuntian installed the ammunition again, Halbara would rush in front of Li Yuntian, which also meant that Li Yuntian would fail.
In other words, Li Yuntian only had one chance to shoot, and if he didn't grasp it, Harbara would have won the competition.
To the surprise of Gu Liyu and the others, although the distance between Harbara and Li Yuntian was constantly shortening, Li Yuntian never pulled the trigger, and let Harbara rush to a place sixty or seventy meters away from him.
This distance was very dangerous, and with the impact speed of the horse, he could rush in front of Li Yuntian in an instant, and Li Yuntian had less and less time to shoot.
"Shoot!" Seeing this situation, Gu Liyu and the others couldn't help but become anxious in their hearts, could it be that Li Yuntian didn't have the right time to shoot.
Lei Ting looked relaxed, she had been with Li Yuntian for so long, she naturally knew what Li Yuntian was thinking in his heart, the closer Halbara was to Li Yuntian, the greater the success rate of Li Yuntian's shot at Halbara's mount.
Intentionally or unintentionally, Lei Ting glanced at Nuo Min, who was biting her lip and looking worried, I have to say that Nuo Min's luck was really good, she was able to meet Li Yuntian at this time, otherwise her mother would definitely die.
Then, Lei Ting's eyes fell on the Harbara hidden in the horse's belly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, it seems that Li Yuntian moved the mind of the Harbara who was subdued, otherwise he would not have tried to compete with Harbara, once a grassland man like Harbara who values faith and righteousness returns to the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to worry about his rebellion, otherwise Harbara will not propose to compete with Li Yuntian, and it is completely perfunctory to Li Yuntian, which may be an important reason why Li Yuntian attaches importance to Harbara.
At this time, Halbara also felt extremely puzzled in his heart, he didn't know why Li Yuntian didn't shoot now, could it be that Li Yuntian was not sure to hit him?
Just when Halbara was suspicious, only a muffled bang was heard, and Li Yuntian pulled the trigger, and a puff of white smoke immediately rose from the beak of the arquebus.
Almost at the same time, the horse on which Halbara was riding suddenly let out a scream, and its two front legs went limp, and its body fell forward sharply.
The sudden change made Halbara not have the slightest psychological preparation, and was thrown out in an instant under the action of huge inertia, and fell heavily on the ground twenty or thirty meters away from Li Yuntian with a bang, and after rolling a few times, he lay there with a dizzy mind.
After witnessing the scene in front of him, the cheering at the scene stopped abruptly, and people looked at Halbara who fell to the ground in amazement, and no one thought that Li Yuntian would shoot Halbara's mount.
Nomin looked at Halbara with a look of concern, his hands clasped tightly in front of his chest, praying that Halbara would not be severely damaged.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yuntian methodically installed ammunition for the arquebus, it is now winter Halbara wears thick clothes, coupled with his strong body and subconsciously makes protective movements when he is in the air, so he will definitely not lose his combat ability because of a fall, he must be ready to meet the next challenge of Halbara.
Halbara shook his somewhat cloudy head, which cleared his senses a little, and he instinctively protected his head and curled up when he was thrown out by the horse, which made the impact damage he received after landing much less.
Hearing the wailing of horses from the side, Harbara looked up and saw that the horse he had ridden before had fallen limply not far away, his limbs twitching incessantly, and a wound in his forehead was gurgling out.
At this moment, Halbara suddenly understood Li Yuntian's intentions, and was shocked by this in his heart, he never expected that the projectile of the arquebus would have such a huge power, and it could actually shatter the forehead bone of the horse, otherwise the horse would not be what it is now.
But the next moment Halbara came back to his senses, according to Li Yuntian's agreement with him, the competition is not over yet, if he can rush to Li Yuntian's face, then he will win.
So, Halbara turned his head and glanced at Li Yuntian, who was twenty or thirty meters away with ammunition installed, gritted his teeth and stood up, picked up the scimitar that had fallen to the side, and strode towards Li Yuntian, as long as he clamped the scimitar around Li Yuntian's neck, he would win the competition.
"Oh~~"
Seeing this, the captives immediately cheered again, if Harbara could subdue Li Yuntian while he was loading the musket with ammunition, then they would be able to turn defeat into victory.
Gu Liyu also realized this, and waved his hand to a military attache standing behind Li Yuntian, and the military attache stepped forward and handed a crossbow that had been installed with crossbow arrows in front of Li Yuntian, and the lethality of the crossbow was not much weaker than that of the arquebus at this distance.
Li Yuntian didn't reach out to take the crossbow, he was still there to install ammunition for the arquebus, he wanted to convince Halbara of defeat.
This made Gu Liyu and the others very anxious, if Li Yuntian took the crossbow, it would undoubtedly end this competition.
Unlike everyone else, the corners of Lei Ting's mouth showed a hint of a smile, knowing that Li Yuntian would definitely win, because Li Yuntian had obviously slowed down the speed of installing ammunition, and it seemed that he was waiting for Halbara to come, wanting to teach Halbara an impressive lesson.
Sure enough, when Halbara rushed in front of Li Yuntian and wanted to clamp the scimitar on Li Yuntian's neck, Li Yuntian suddenly raised the arquebus and aimed the muzzle of the gun at Halbara's forehead, and the scimitar in Halbara's hand at this time had just swung halfway, and there was still a distance of about two meters from Li Yuntian.
Looking at the black muzzle, Harbara couldn't help but stop, his face became a little pale, and he secretly regretted in his heart, if he was a little faster, he would be able to install ammunition money in Li Yuntian to restrain Li Yuntian.
Li Yuntian removed the muzzle of the gun from Halbara's forehead, and pulled the trigger on the blade of the scimitar he was holding in his hand, only to hear a bang, and the scimitar in Halbara's hand burst out with a burst of fire, and the blade of the knife immediately broke from the place where it was hit by the projectile, and a flying fragment slashed across Halbara's cheek, leaving a faint mark of blood.
Li Yuntian then put the arquebus on his shoulder and looked at Halbara quietly, and he used this shot to tell SΓΉ Halbara that he had completed the installation of the arquebus's ammunition, and at the same time announced the defeat of Halbara.
"Oh!" Seeing this, the sergeants of the Xiaowu Army at the scene suddenly burst into an overwhelming cheer, celebrating Li Yuntian's victory.
Nuo Min's face became solemn, she was not relieved by the successful completion of the third competition, her eyes were firmly fixed on the arquebus in Li Yuntian's hand, from the scene just now, it seemed that the Mongolian cavalry had no advantage in the face of the Ming Dynasty's musket battalion equipped with arquebuses, which was really terrifying.
