Chapter 67: The Duel Before the Battle
Meng Tian replied sincerely: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is too modest, if it wasn't for your support back then, how could there be Meng Tian today, and General Wang has always been grateful for His Highness's kindness." β
Xiang Shaolong said: "You are all rare talents, without me, I can't bury you." Don't worry, I will fight this time, and if I can't fight, I will withdraw, and I won't even want my life for the sake of the false name of 'No. 1 in the world'. When the first king gave me a gold medal, it was a heavy burden for me, if I hadn't been the prime minister of Qin, I am afraid that I would have been challenged over the years. If you really lose, it will be easy. β
Meng Tian couldn't defeat Xiang Shaolong in the end, so he had to send a strong crossbow battalion fully armed, led by him personally, to suppress Xiang Shaolong.
Xiang Shaolong rode his Chitu BMW, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, his long black hair tied behind his head, and his temples were frosted.
Xiang Shaolong did not grow long hair, the short beard around his lips had been carefully trimmed, and there was a trace of elegance in his heroic martial arts, and he didn't look like a sixty-year-old man, as if he was only forty years old. This horse is no longer the same horse he rode back then, but a descendant of that horse, and he has always had a preference for fiery war horses.
Xiang Shaolong didn't wear armor, only a black samurai suit and black cowhide boots. The armor is too heavy, which affects flexibility. He was already old, his physical strength was weak, and although his defensive ability had decreased, he didn't plan to fight Xiang Yu to the end, so he didn't feel good, so he retreated in time.
Seeing Xiang Shaolong come to the front of the general's formation, the Chu army was very surprised, why did he go into battle without wearing armor?
Xiang Yu still recognized Xiang Shaolong at a glance, although he had only met him when he was young, he was impressed.
Xiang Yu urged the horse to come to the front of the formation, looked at Xiang Shaolong, and hugged his fists and said, "I didn't expect His Royal Highness the King of Jin to come out in person." His Royal Highness has been known to be invincible for more than 30 years, since he has become a civil official, why bother to come to the battlefield to fight again, is he not afraid that the evening will not be guaranteed, and the morale of the Qin army will fall? β
Xiang Shaolong said: "It's just some false names, I have never gotten any benefits from these false names, and if they are gone, they will be gone." I practice martial arts for survival and for love. Today's battle is just to see the joy of hunting, and I don't care about the victory or defeat. The military prestige of my Great Qin relies on thousands of brave soldiers, General Meng swept through the Western Regions, and shocked the world, like this kind of duel, it is not taken by the handsome, you and I are just a reckless man. β
Xiang Yu is the spiritual pillar of the Chu army, inspiring the Chu army with the image of the invincible god of war, at this time Xiang Shaolong described as the courage of the horseman, how can he stop, opened his mouth and shouted: "Hugh into the tongue of the fast, Sama to fight!" β
Xiang Shaolong picked up Fang Tian's halberd and was about to start a war. Suddenly, an angry shout came from behind Xiang Yu: "Wait! Then came a war horse, and immediately sat down with a man.
Xiang Shaolong looked at it, smiled, and said, "Brother Guan, don't come to harm!" "It's the evil in the tube.
Guan Zhongxie's age is similar to Xiang Shaolong's, his beard is a little gray, and he looks slightly older than Xiang Shaolong, but he is energetic, and he is a little more aggressive than Xiang Shaolong.
Guan Zhongyi said: "I didn't expect that we would meet one day." I've wanted to fight you for more than 30 years, and today I've finally waited for this opportunity. β
Xiang Shaolong nodded and said, "Yes, as long as you are still in my Great Qin, you will never be qualified to challenge me." These rebels may seem insignificant to me, but they give you the courage to talk to me on an equal footing. β
Guan Zhongyi remembered that he was only submissive in front of Xiang Shaolong, and suddenly felt ashamed and angry, and said angrily: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to hide XZ for so many years, and today I will be ashamed." β
Xiang Shaolong said: "It was Lu Buwei who caused you not to come out. He doesn't know how to advance or retreat, and he brings about his own destruction, which has caused you to suffer. However, your defection to LΓΌ Buwei is a gamble in itself, but your life is not good and you lose. If you can save your life, you should thank the emperor for his grace, isn't it good to live in peace? I have to do this kind of thing to destroy the nine clans. β
Guan Zhongzhong said: "You have to sit as a high-ranking official, you have to ride a horse, you are famous all over the world, and of course you can speak easily." Why should I be incognito, and why should I be half a cut short in front of you? β
Xiang Shaolong sighed secretly, it is normal for people to want to become famous, the evil talents and martial arts in the management are all the best choices, and being implicated by Lu Buwei can be regarded as a talent, and he really can't accuse him of anything.
Xiang Shaolong said: "Then you really have to thank you for being a disciple, it was he who made you finally stand up in front of me." Back then, I saw that he was not a thing in the pool, and I had the heart to give him a future, but now it seems that I underestimated him. β
As he spoke, he looked at Xiang Yu and asked, "Which of you will come first?" β
Although Guan Zhongyi is the master, in the army, Xiang Yu is the king, he is a minister, and he cannot exceed the etiquette.
He asked Xiang Yu for instructions: "King, please give this opportunity to Weichen." β
Although Xiang Yu is arrogant, he still respects this master very much. In order to rebel, the master led many disciples to invest in his tent, adding a lot of strength to him. He also knew that there was a lot of entanglement between the master and Xiang Shaolong, and he had always been convinced of the master's martial arts, although he was not young, but his martial arts had not diminished back then, and he was right with him, and he didn't dare to say that he would win, and said: "General, be careful!" "Stand back and give way to the main station.
Xiang Shaolong said: "It seems that I suppressed you a lot back then, which made you resentful in your heart. Originally, as you are, you are still not qualified to fight me, although you think you can do it. I'm here for Xiang Yu, regardless of his identity or martial arts. However, I decided to give you a chance to understand that you were right not to challenge me back then, and that it was not cowardice, but wisdom. β
Guan Zhongyi was furious, and Xiang Yu hurriedly said behind him: "The general is angry, he wants to provoke you." β
Guan Zhongxie suddenly woke up, but he was still angry, mainly because he was too depressed in front of Xiang Shaolong, and he was eager to fight.
He barely suppressed his anger, controlled his emotions, and said, "Xiang Shaolong, don't say more, come on!" β
Xiang Shaolong saw that his anger didn't seem to be too hot, smiled slightly, and said, "Since it was you who challenged me, how can I compare, it's up to you to choose, right away?" Under the horse? If you win, I will give you the gold medal that the king gave me. I didn't bring it out on this expedition, but I mean what I say, if you win, I'll go back to Xianyang to get it. In his tone, he always put his position very high, looking down at the evil in the tube.
Guan Zhongxie no longer answered, urged the horse to raise the gun, and went straight to Xiang Shaolong.
Xiang Shaolong opened Fang Tian's halberd, and the two of them fought.
To say that the evil martial arts in Guan Zhong are indeed strong, but horse warfare is not his strong point, compared to Wang Jian back then, it is much inferior, plus Xiang Shaolong's mount Shenjun, less than fifty moves, he has already been left and right, relying on his body to be strong and flexible, barely supporting.
Xiang Shaolong fought up, dancing the halberd, the tiger and the tiger were in the wind, the two horses and one wrong boarded, the horses circled, Xiang Shaolong flew the helmet of the evil in the tube, and the halberd thorn was close to the choked throat of the evil in the tube, but he did not go further.
Restrained the evil in the tube, Xiang Shaolong just smiled, took back Fang Tian's halberd, and said, "Kung Fu immediately, you are too far behind, it is better to work harder than you step by step." β
Guan Zhongyi had already closed his eyes and waited for death, but he didn't expect Xiang Shaolong to be a killer, so he was immediately relieved, but he also felt extremely humiliated. After thinking about it, he was not a general immediately, and he had never even fought a horse war seriously at all, so he really used his own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths.
If you lose, it's useless to just care about shame, and it's your strength to compare swordsmanship.
Guan Zhongyi stripped off his armor, changed into a light samurai uniform, and took a long sword.
Xiang Shaolong also took out his treasure knife. The Snow Drink Crazy Knife was broken during the decisive battle with Cao Qiudao, and after returning, it took half a year to use the extraterrestrial meteorite given by King Zhuang Xiang, and it took half a year to carefully build another divine weapon as it was.
The knife body is printed with the words "Xiaolou listens to the spring rain overnight" written in a large seal, which is from Li Si's handwriting.
Li Si didn't understand the meaning of this sentence either, Xiang Shaolong didn't explain it, and he couldn't explain it, but Li Si also saw Xiang Shaolong's dedication to this sentence and wrote it very seriously.
Xiang Shaolong sometimes sighs that Li Si is talented, but unfortunately he is not broad-minded and greedy for power. This knife can become an heirloom with just these few words.
Guan Zhongyi held a sword in his hand, and his momentum was particularly sharp. He is a real swordsman, with a sword in his hand, and his confidence and bearing are completely different from what he just had.
Xiang Shaolong was holding a treasure knife, and his momentum was restrained, which was different from the sharpness of the year.
In front of the two armies, the officers and soldiers of the three armies all looked at these two peerless swordsmen.
What Guan Zhongxie has been most afraid of all these years is actually Xiang Shaolong's identity.
Since the sword split Cao Qiudao and was given a gold medal by the first king, Xiang Shaolong's reputation has reached its peak. Guan Zhongxie would never dare to despise Xiang Shaolong's martial arts, but if he wasn't in the phase, Guan Zhongyi would still challenge him.
Today, the two sides are in hostile camps, and they can finally throw aside the shackles of their identities and launch this duel that is thirty years late.
Xiang Shaolong's two-handed knife skills are perfect, and he was invincible back then, and the world knows it.
And Guan Zhongxie had already studied Xiang Shaolong's sword technique, and knew that it was too much of a loss to hold the sword in one hand. He lengthened the hilt of the sword, weighted the body of the sword, and painstakingly created a set of two-handed swordsmanship, just to restrain Xiang Shaolong.
Xiang Shaolong also saw that Guan Zhongxie's sword was different, as if it was specially made for himself, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are well prepared for this battle, don't let me down!" β
The evil blood in the tube was boiling, looking at Xiang Shaolong, he couldn't suppress this restless heart, waited for many years, and finally got what he wanted, no longer talking, waving his sword to attack.
Xiang Shaolong followed the knife and led the knife, and slashed the evil in the pipe. The evil sword in the tube is hard to frame the blade. The two are very close in age, height, and arm strength, and they are evenly matched.
Xiang Shaolong's sword technique is wide open and closed, simple and rude, and the evil sword technique in the tube is sharp and weird, and it is very subtle.
Both of them are invigorated, not giving an inch, you come and go, fighting in one place.
