Chapter 22, Li Shijun defeated Ma Rong three times

The poem says:

The mediocre lord lost his power and the world was in chaos, and Junjie chased the deer to raise smoke and dust.

Promote heroes to fight fierce generals, and urge thousands of horses to fight thousands of troops.

Ma Rong's reputation is loud and clear, and the poet's archery skills are peerless.

Have the heart to recruit strong men, coil the dragon and keep people.

It is said that after Li Shijian entered Anshun Prefecture, he met everyone, and there was only one missing Shi Qiangsheng who had never seen anyone. Li Shijian only said that Shi Qiangsheng was the eldest brother of Cuigu, and it was better to go and see him by himself, so he asked his younger brother Li Shijun and Chen Zhiyuan, and asked Shi Qiangsheng where he was.

Chen Zhiyuan said: "Don't hide it from City Lord Li, General Shi left without saying goodbye in the early hours of this morning, and his subordinate colonel reported to me, saying that he went to Beihai Dadu Mountain to look for his sister." ”

When Li Shijian heard this, he felt a little regretful, but he was helpless, so he ordered Li Shijun to arrange a large banquet to celebrate Chen Zhiyuan's accession.

Li Shijian came back from Dadu Mountain in Beihai, and knew that the Dongting soldiers had come out of Qingliu Pass, so he discussed with everyone at the banquet at that time, and decided to fight Zhu Wubu first - it was also a good thing to leave Yang Qingcai and Zhang Yousan to block the Dongting soldiers for themselves.

Not to mention that Li Shijian discussed military aircraft with everyone, here is a sentence: Where did Shi Qiangsheng go?

It turned out that Shi Qiangsheng put all his hatred and anger on the body surnamed Li, and after the arrow shot Li Shijun and vented his grievances, he thought about it himself, but he also felt tasteless, so he was embarrassed to meet Li Shijian;

Unexpectedly, when he came to the halfway point, when he arrived at Crouching Tiger Ridge in Huangzhou, a group of robbers saw that he was alone, so they came to rob him.

When Shi Qiangsheng saw it, he hung his double whips on the saddle, held a bow and arrows, and opened the bow on all sides, only to see that the first arrow shot a strongman off the horse, and the second arrow shot a strongman off the horse, and several arrows were shot, and the big leaders of this group of robbers were all shot by him!

The robbers were in confusion and fled back. Shi Qiangsheng has been in the army for so many days, and he also has some vision, and when he saw the situation of the robbers, he knew that he had just counted arrows, and he must have shot the leader of the robbers.

Shi Qiangsheng thought about it, he had now left the army and went to see his sister, but his sister said in the letter that he wanted to work with Li Shijian, if his sister asked him why he was not with Li Shijian, he was afraid that he would not be able to answer.

Shi Qiangsheng was at home at the beginning, his life was rich, and he had good archery skills, and everywhere he went, he received compliments, and he had already developed excessive pride and excessive self-esteem; and he was only a young man in his early twenties after all, so he was reckless and regretted things after doing things, and it was not unusual.

Shi Qiangsheng went all the way, feeling that he was embarrassed to advance and retreat, but now, a group of robbers wanted to rob him, so Shi Qiangsheng thought about it:

Well, I'll stay here in Crouching Tiger Ridge for a while, think about it carefully, and then make a decision.

So at that time, Shi Qiangsheng shouted to the group of thieves: "Stop for Lao Tzu! Whoever runs first, Lao Tzu will shoot whoever kills!"

When the group of thieves heard this, they were horrified in their hearts, and they all stopped, and some people secretly said in their hearts: Obediently, this time the kick has hit the iron plate, and it is impossible to dare to rob, is this person going to rob so many of us?

Shi Qiangsheng saw that the group of thieves stopped, laughed, even estimated and guessed, and shouted loudly: "Your leader has been shot by me, if you want to live, you will regard me as the big leader!"

When the group of thieves saw that the leader was killed, they were supposed to disperse in a hurry, and when they saw that this person had superb archery skills, and they were willing to be the leader, how could they not agree, and they all said at that time: "I wish to serve the general as the big leader!"

So Shi Qiangsheng became the leader of the bandits in Crouching Tiger Mountain, and went to live happily alone.

Going back to Li Shijian's Anshun Prefecture, he feasted Chen Zhiyuan and his subordinates, and discussed during the banquet that it was advisable to attack the eight eastern prefectures, and it was advisable to attack Nan'an Prefecture occupied by Zhu Wu first.

This Nan'an Prefecture, in the southeast of Anshun Prefecture, has eight counties under its jurisdiction, each guarded by Zhu Wu's department. Li Shijian left Liu Wuming and Chen Zhiyuan to guard the two states, and led Chang Sheng and other generals with his younger brother Li Shijun to lead an army of 30,000 to set off.

Li Shijun led the front army of 10,000 horses, Li Shijian led the Chinese army of 10,000 horses, and Chang Sheng led 10,000 horses as the rear army.

Li Shijian said to Li Shijun: "Brother, the Daliang County in front of you is an important pass in the northwest of Anshun Prefecture, not only the city is tall, far beyond the ordinary county seat, but also the guard Ma Rong is a disciple of Mingzong, this person is very powerful, good at making double hammers, weighing sixty-four pounds, the name is within the 'six hammers', not to be underestimated." ”

Li Shijun said with a smile: "Brother, then Zhu Wu is indeed incompetent, and this Ma Rong does have some ability." But my younger brother, I am going to Daliang County, not only to take the city, but also to subdue him Ma Rong for my brother! Even if there are all the famous ones in the 'three guns, six hammers and four knives', my brother and I must take good care of them!"

Li Shijian also smiled and said: "I have never started a business, and I can't do without talents, don't I know the saying of 'three guns and six hammers'? Ma Rong is among the six hammers, if he can be recruited, of course it is a good thing." However, no matter how valuable Ma Rong is, he is not as important as you in my heart, brother-brother, you must be careful!"

It turned out that the Datong Khanate, two and a half years ago, just when the world was in the big competition, the top six in the martial arts examination, there were three people who made guns and three people who made hammers, namely Song Yi of the iron gun, Ning Cheng of the golden gun, Dong Shan of the silver gun, Zhang Meng of the purple and gold double hammer, Zuo Qing of the gossip double hammer, and Ma Rong of the silver double hammer.

Of these six people, Jingun Ning Cheng ranked first, Zijin Double Hammer Zhang Meng ranked second, and Ma Rong ranked sixth. The seventh to tenth places in the back all use big swords, so people also call the ten people in this martial arts examination "three guns, six hammers and four knives".

This year's martial arts examination, because the examiner had the malpractice of forming a party for personal gain, was reported, and the three court pillars were involved behind it, and the three pillars attacked each other, so that the results of the national martial arts examination were invalidated, causing the hero to sink and fall into the grass.

However, the name of "three guns, six hammers and four knives" spread.

Gossip aside, just say that Li Shijun led the troops to Daliang County, twenty miles away from the city, 10,000 horses and horses set up camp, Li Shijun left a few generals to lead 5,000 soldiers to guard the camp, and personally led 5,000 soldiers to challenge outside the city gate.

In the city of Daliang County, Ma Rong had already heard a report from the sentry that Li Shijian had led his troops to attack Nan'anzhou, and he had heard that the 10,000 horses of the former army were not far from the city under the leadership of Li Shijun.

Ma Rong sat on the horse, and saw that Li Shijun opposite was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old white-faced little doll, so he laughed and said:

"Look at your young age, you are also here to die! Don't you know that I, Ma Rong, have won the sixth place in the world?

It turns out that since this Ma Rong won the sixth place in the world, although he has not been able to get an official position in the court, he is often proud of it. After voting for Zhu Wu, every time he went into battle against the enemy, he had to fight with others first - of course, in the Shunyi army, no one fought with him alone.

Li Shijun said with a smile: "General Ma's double hammer is powerful, I, Li Shijun, naturally know it." It's just that, first, I was ordered to fight Daliang County, and I can't retreat; second, two or three years ago, I, Li Shijun, have not yet come out of the mountain, otherwise, I am afraid that the name of three shots and six hammers will have to be added to my Li Shijun as the first place!

Today is a rare opportunity, this hinch coil dragon gun in my hand, I am quite willing to meet General Ma's brilliant silver double hammer!"

Ma Rong heard this and shouted: "You are not very old, and you are not arrogant! Since you are going to die, Ma will fulfill you today!"

Ma Rong shouted, danced the sledgehammer, and rushed forward.

Li Shijun saw that he looked down on himself, and thought to himself: Since he despises me, I just show weakness to him, and then find an opportunity to defeat him and subdue him! It's just that this is the first time for me to fight against a famous master in the world, so I have to be careful!

So Li Shijun also stepped forward, and the skein coil dragon gun went straight out. I heard Ma Rong shouting: "Eat me with a hammer!"

At that time, I saw Ma Rong's left hand with a sledgehammer hanging from the wind, and smashed it with a "woo".

When Li Shijun saw it, he knew that he had blocked the left hand hammer, and the right hand hammer had arrived, so the tip of the dragon spear of the twisted wire coil knocked out, swinged the sledgehammer, and the tail of the gun swung, and the tip of the gun trembled, piercing towards Ma Rongzhonggong.

This shot was to attack and defend, forcing Ma Rong to save himself. Sure enough, Ma Rong's right hand hammer did not attack Li Shijun, but swept from right to left, blocking Li Shijun's shot with a "woo".

The two of them crossed horses, and Ma Rong was secretly surprised in his heart: Look at his age, it is rare that he still has some strength, especially his marksmanship is really good!

Li Shijun also secretly weighed in his heart: Ma Rong is only slightly better than me! This manpower has a strong sledgehammer, but in terms of tricks, it is not as refined as the overlord gun passed down by my division. It is not impossible to defeat him! It seems that I must use my strengths to thwart his strength first!

So when the horse was handed over, Li Shijun's spear swung and stabbed out in a half-sweep backwards! Ma Rong's left hand hammer was also twisted and blocked, Li Shijun's shot.

Ma Rong is indeed powerful, Li Shijun deliberately shouted: "What a lot of strength!"

Ma Rong turned the horse's head, but saw that Li Shijun did not return to the horse, but the horse rushed forward and fled!

Ma Rong laughed: "Boy, although your marksmanship is good, but your strength is not good, you are not my enemy!"

Ma Rong laughed and chased after him. Li Shijun had the intention to seduce, so the two of them left the big formation after a short time.

At this time, Li Shijun had already secretly hung up his spear, took a bow and arrow in his hand, turned around to look at Ma Rong, and shouted: "Look at the arrow!"

When Ma Rong heard this, he hurriedly flashed: Where are the arrows?

I heard Li Shijun shout again: "Look at the arrow!" Ma Rong flashed again, but there was still no arrow.

Ma Rongxin said that this kid was in a hurry to scare me, so he chased after him with confidence. Unexpectedly, Li Shijun shouted again: "Look at the arrow!"

This time, I only heard the "whoosh", Li Shijun shot three arrows in a row!

Ma Rong thought that this time Li Shijun was still playing with himself, but when he looked at it again, the three arrows came together!

Ma Rong's sledgehammer danced, smashing two arrows to the ground, but the third arrow shot straight at the top door! Ma Rong was shocked and hurriedly raised his hammer to block the arrows!

What Li Shijun wants is for Ma Rong to block with a double hammer and shoot three arrows in a row, the real purpose is to shoot a horse!

Ma Rong was dancing with a double hammer, and he was anxious to block the third arrow, so he heard a neighing of the horse, and the person fell down! It turned out that Li Shijun blindly led Ma Rong to despise himself, so after shooting three arrows in a row, he got the opportunity to release the fourth arrow.

This fourth arrow hit Ma Rong's mount, and the horse was hit by an arrow in the head, how could he not fall?

When Ma Rong arrived at this time, he hated it in his heart: This kid is clearly pretending to run away, but he has deceived me so hard!

Ma Rong landed, and before he could get up, Li Shijun had already returned to his horse and arrived, and the dragon spear of the skein coil was directly on Ma Rong's chest, and said, "General Ma, do you surrender or not?"

Ma Rong said angrily: "Don't surrender! You kid is too cunning! It's not that you win me openly, but the secret arrow hurts people, Ma Rong is just dead, how can you be convinced!"

Li Shijun laughed and said: "Since you want to fight openly, I will let you go now, and you will change horses!"

Ma Rong was ashamed, returned to his military formation, changed a war horse, and came out with a dance hammer.

This time, Li Shijun didn't wait for Ma Rong to rush closer, and raised his hand to shoot a series of arrows, swishing and shooting nine arrows in a row! After nine arrows, there was another arrow!

This last arrow has a name, and when he was fighting day and night, Shi Qiangsheng used it, called "Soul Chasing Arrow".

Ma Rong hated it, the double hammer blocked, and it ran like the wind, but Li Shijun had the heart to subdue him, it seemed that the arrow was very urgent, but he mainly shot horses.

Ma Rong had just blocked the nine arrows, and he heard the neighing of the horse when he sat down! Ma Rong said in his heart: It's broken! Sure enough, a person fell down, and the horse under his crotch was shot to death by Li Shijun!

Li Shijun's archery is not weaker than Shi Qiangsheng. So in Anshun Prefecture that day, after being shot ten arrows by Shi Qiangsheng, Li Shijun was angry and wanted to compare arrows with Shi Qiangsheng. Fortunately, there is no comparison, otherwise, the two tigers will fight, and there will be an injury!

At this time, on this battlefield, Ma Rong had just stood up, when he saw Li Shijun stretching his bow and arrows, locking himself, and shouting: "General Ma, the two armies are a hundred steps apart in front of each other, and this distance is enough for me Li Shijun to shoot you down three times!

Ma Rong said with shame: "Li Shijun, your archery skills are certainly strong, but if my army charges, what is the use of your strong archery skills?

Li Shijun listened, put away his bow and said with a smile: "It turns out that the real skill you said is to fight with me with a knife and a gun." Okay, according to your words, you go and change horses and come back!"

Ma Rong said: "Li Shijun, if you win the double hammer in my hand, I will obey you, otherwise, this Daliang county will not surrender even if you fight to the death!"

In Ma Rong's words, he expected that he would not lose to Li Shijun if he hammered his kung fu, which actually meant not surrendering, but he didn't say it clearly.

Li Shijun shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up! I still have to wait to eat and drink in Daliang City today!"

Ma Rong has changed horses again. Li Shijun rushed forward with a gun.

Ma Rong wants to fight for glory with double hammers, and Li Shijun wants to convince people with big guns, at this time it is a dragon and a tiger. Ma Rongxin said that today I will fight hard! Li Shijun is like a dragon with a big gun, and he is firmly in charge of the left coupon.

At this time, Li Shijun thought in his heart: Win you Ma Rong, it is this time!

At this time, Ma Rong thought: "Today, I, Ma Rong, am embarrassed to take your life, but I also have to let you know that my Ma Rong has a powerful sledgehammer!"

So, the guns came out here, the hammers fell there, the two horses intersected and circled, and the two sides fought for many rounds.

When the two drums shook the sky, Ma Rongxin said: "You don't need a trick, it's hard to defeat this young man!" So when Ma Rong waited for the two horses to stagger again, he turned around slightly, and without even turning his face, he threw a sledgehammer backwards.

At that time, the sledgehammer was hanging in the wind, and with a "woo", it was smashed towards Li Shijun!

Just listen to the exclamations of the three armies, one will fall off the horse!
