Chapter Ninety-Six: Heads-up

The overall situation of Dayukou is very similar to that of Xiaoyukou, a small hill stepped north into the Huaihe River, the top of the mountain was bulldozed at a height of about 300 meters, and trebuchets were erected in all directions; Slightly different, a small river came from the southwest, enclosing hundreds of acres of open space at the foot of the mountain, and camps and defensive positions were built on the open space, which were full of Haozhou soldiers and village soldiers; On the river surface at the northern end of the hill, the Haozhou fleet lined up in several rows, ready for battle, and basically held the entire Huai River.

Seeing such a defensive situation, the Great Zhou Navy naturally slowly contained the fleet, and the infantry moving along the coast naturally set up defensive positions, and at the same time quickly sent people to report to the army in the southeast.

At noon on 11 October, Li Chongjin, commander of the Northern Route Army, led 5,000 soldiers to the south bank of the Xiaohe River and camped directly south of the hill. At the same time as setting up the tent, Li Chongjin urgently summoned Shi Detong and Wei Chang, who commanded the naval army, and Fang Cheng, who commanded the Western Progressive Army, to the tent to discuss.

Before a group of people could discuss a few words, a soldier outside the tent rushed to report, with a very strange expression: "General Li, there is a person from the other side of the river, a single man and a single horse, claiming to ask for a heads-up." ”

Li Chongjin and several people looked at each other, almost laughing out loud, in the current war, except for the barbarians in the north who occasionally play this game, who still rectifies these old dramas of heads-up before the battle?

Li Chongjin couldn't hold back a smile, got up and said, "Let's go, let's take a look, we can't be knocked on the door, but we don't dare to fight, right?" ”

A group of generals walked out of the camp tent and walked to the front of the battle array, and found a small warship on the south bank of the small river, and a young man in a big red robe and military uniform carried a gun in one hand, leisurely riding on a tall white horse, looking calmly.

"In Xiahao Prefecture, Guo Tingwei said, can there be a master who dares to fight against Guo?" Seeing a large number of people here, Guo Tingyu said in a trembling voice, his voice still unhurried.

Li Chongjin's eyes narrowed, staring straight at the proud young man opposite, and he was silent.

"General Li, the last general asks for battle!" A rider rode away, carrying a big knife and went straight to Guo Tingwei.

"In the next big week, Yu Hou Baihan, please advise!" The knife general ran to Guo Tingwei, yelled, straightened up on the horse, raised the big knife with both hands, and slashed Huashan with one move, slashing at Guo Tingwei.

Guo Tingwei's horse gently moved to the side, and the spear in his hand suddenly moved, piercing out like a poisonous snake, piercing into Bai Han's right rib like a defeat. Bai Han's big knife fell into the air and lost its strength, and was easily pushed aside by the steel spear that was quickly pulled back, and fell off the horse, and with the knife, there was also Bai Han's unconscious corpse.

Guo Tingwei retrieved the spear, took out a white cloth and gently wiped the blood off the head of the spear, and shook his head gently.

"General Li, I'm coming!" The same envoy flashed out from behind Li Chongjin and drove his horse straight towards Guo Tingwei. When he was still ten steps away, the spearman shouted: "...... in the capital of the Great Zhou."

Seeing that the other party also used a gun, Guo Tingwei's eyes lit up, and he slammed the horse out, shouting: "Take me a shot, and it's not too late to report your name!" ”

The red cherry blossoms of the steel gun trembled, drawing four gun shadows, respectively running to the eyes, mouth, neck, and hands of the gun general, making the gun general swing the gun body sharply, connecting three times, but did not block the most rearly hit the wrist of a shot, the hand trembled, the person paused for a moment, Guo Ting's gun turned and moved up, and fired back at the neck, mouth, and eyes of the gun general, and the person who didn't have time to report his name made the gun general's neck, mouth, and eyes burst out of blood mist at the same time, and the person leaned to the side and fell off the horse!

Guo Tingwei, who was all right, put away the gun again and wiped it slowly, glanced at the bloodstained handkerchief with pity, lightly opened his right hand, watched the handkerchief slowly fall off the horse, shook his head slightly, and snorted coldly: "Vulnerable!" ”

Guo Tingwei's arrogance suddenly made a group of Great Zhou generals angry, and they all wanted to fight their horses.

"Stop it all!" Li Chongjin roared, tightened the red tassel of the armor, and drove the black horse under him slowly out.

The main generals of the two armies faced each other, and the soldiers on both sides all fell silent, staring at the two horses, one black and one white, that were slowly approaching.

Li Chongjin spun his heavy gun in his hand, and said in a cold voice: "If you can kill my two generals in a row, you can be regarded as a master of the gun, dare to ask who Guo Tingshi's marksmanship inherits?" ”

Guo Tingwei stared at Li Chongjin, who was taller and colder than himself in front of him, untied the red tassel belt around his neck with his right hand, shook his arms, rolled the big red robe together, and threw back the boat, only then did he spit out coldly: "Ancestral marksmanship, nameless and unfactional!" ”

Li Chongjin put his spear horizontally in front of him, flicked the black surface of the gun with his fingers, and whispered: "The iron spear, one zhang three long, weighs fifty-four catties, is known for its heavy spears, and once killed three thousand commanders of the Liao State in a row in the battle array, please pay attention to Brother Guo!" ”

Guo Tingwei's eyes narrowed slightly, his face was calm, and he said coldly: "Guo's gun has no name or surname, but he never kills nameless people!" ”

Li Chongjin hugged his fist, roared lightly, and the heavy gun in his hand circled back half a circle, accelerated suddenly, and smashed it into Guo Tingwei with a sound of wind.

Who knows, Li Chongjin's heavy gun lightly touched Guo Tingwei's gun, and immediately bounced, stabbing Guo Tingyu's eyes, and the gun was silent, as fast as lightning.

Guo Tingwei didn't panic at all, the body of the gun was retracted and erected, and the body of the gun was able to block the tip of the stabbing gun, and then the body of the gun seemed to be pulled down by someone, and it actually pressed down the pitch-black heavy gun!

"Good strength!" Li Chongjin let out a long roar, and the body of the gun danced, and countless gun shadows pierced Guo Tingwei's body in an instant. In the shadow of the black spear in the sky, Guo Tingwei danced slowly with a bright silver spear, blocking every shot!

For a moment, the soldiers on both sides all held their breath, what was going on?

Li Chongjin, who made a heavy gun, lift weights lightly and excel at speed, while Guo Ting, who made a light spear, lift as light as a weight and excel with strength, the two sides actually changed their styles to play?

"Happy!" Li Chongjin let out a long roar, and after stabbing back Guo Tingwei's heavy spear with one shot, the man jumped off the horse and waved at the opponent he admired, "It's not fun to fight right away, let's fight again!" ”

Guo Tingwei roared wildly, put his feet on the horse, and smashed the spear down like a heavy stick.

Li Chongjin let out a long laugh and rushed forward, and the heavy gun greeted him with a whistling sound, and he changed back to the heavy gun combat method he was best at!

At the moment when the two guns fought, Guo Tingwei's body shook along the force of the gun, and after unloading the force, his body twisted, and the person was as light as a bird, jumping up with the gun, stabbing Li Chongjin's left wrist, the head of the gun cut through the air, and made a light sound of "poof", which looked unstoppable.

Li Chongjin's left hand slipped slightly, and with both hands forcefully, he slammed the gun into Guo Tingshu's gun head, and the two guns exchanged fire again, making a loud "bang".

Both sides retreated and then advanced at the same time. This time, the bright silver spear shadows began to fly all over the sky, and the black heavy guns danced out of seemingly slow but fast gun shadows, blocking those deadly stabs one by one.

The two sides danced in their steps, and soon the dust on the ground danced, rolling the figures of the two into it.

Shi Detong, who had been watching the battle, frowned, and ordered in a loud voice: "Ring the gong, please come back to General Li!" ”

As soon as the gong of the retreating army on the south bank sounded, the soldiers on both sides exhaled at the same time, and the gong sounded immediately on the north bank of the small river.

The dust mist slowly solidified and fell, revealing two figures with twisted guns facing each other.

Li Chongjin glanced at Guo Tingwei in admiration and said loudly: "I had a good time today!" Guo Tingshi, Li respects your gun skills and heroism, don't attack today, and our army will attack tomorrow! ”

Guo Tingwei took out a handkerchief from his body again, gently wiped the dust off the gun head, and replied unhurriedly: "Waiting for you at any time!" ”

After speaking, Guo Tingwei turned around leisurely, took his white horse, and steadily stepped on his own boat.

At this time, the drums on both sides of the river sounded at the same time, cheering for a wonderful gun competition between the two lords, encouraging and boosting their morale.
