Chapter Forty-Eight: The Defeat of the Rokka
Sun Fu shouted loudly to the soldiers around him: "Lord Qin's personal entourage blames Jiang Yingtou for no reason, it is really rude, we must not stop there, but first, he estimated that it was not intentional, and secondly, we can't control the head of Lord Qin's personal entourage, it is based on the advice of this official to have a competition between the two of them here, no matter whether they win or lose, they understand this Liangzi, and they must not dispute about this matter in the future, if anyone is injured in the competition, hum, then it will be unbearable, everyone said yes or no?"
All the soldiers didn't know that Wei Qing had martial arts, but most of them had heard that Jiang Yang was promoted to be the commander of the battalion because of his good skills, and they all thought that Sun Fu said this to give Jiang Yang a public opportunity to beat Wei Qing out of anger, so they naturally applauded, only Qin Hui knew that Sun Fu was playing tricks, which not only calmed the grievances of the soldiers, but also met Qin Hui's requirements for the competition, but he only needed to achieve the purpose of the competition, no matter what means Sun Fu played in the middle, he naturally would not say anything to explain.
Wei Qing understood the meaning as soon as he heard it, he was afraid that Jiang Yang would know that he was invincible and pushed back, so he immediately pretended to be a little scared and hugged his fists at Jiang Yang and said: "Fang Cai is being rude, and I also ask Jiang to command his subordinates to be merciful and not to shoot too hard." When Lai Hou'er and the others saw Wei Qing's stage fright, they didn't doubt him, and they tore their throats and shouted loudly for Jiang Yang to beat Wei Qing hard to get angry, and for a while, the crowd was furious, but Jiang Yang was not good and openly refused.
Wei Qing lowered his head and pretended to wince, but quietly raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yang, only to see that the other party was also staring at him, with no kindness in his eyes, and only after a moment did he sneer contemptuously, and said lightly: "Okay, then I might as well be respectful, and I want to ask for advice and advice."
Wei Qing was worried that Jiang Yang would not agree to the competition, but now seeing that he was forced to allow the scene, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and secretly thought to himself: "Let you be as cunning as a ghost, but as long as you are down, you can only compete with your true skills, and I can't hurt you with a heavy hand in front of so many people, just use internal force to break through your disguise as I did yesterday."
Jiang Yang took off the waist knife hanging from his waist and threw it to Lai Hou'er, hugged his fists on the spot and said, "Please."
Wei Qing also untied the Zhanlu sword and handed it to Xiao Qinchuan to hold, and waved his shirt and said, "Then I am offended", he flew up and struck it with all his strength. Wei Qing's broken palm was originally known for its strong palm power and fierce momentum, and he was even more intimidating at this time. The onlookers didn't expect Wei Qing's palm technique to be so powerful, and they all said "Huh" in surprise.
Jiang Yang probably knew that his internal strength was not as good as Wei Qing's, so he just moved and flashed, avoiding all the moves that Wei Qing handed out, and was unwilling to compete with him in a hard-to-hard competition. Wei Qing was afraid that Jiang Yang would avoid being exposed to his true face, so he retreated and admitted defeat after dealing with it for a few rounds, so he accelerated his move at the moment, and his body was always three steps away from the opponent, constantly hitting Jiang Yang with palm power.
There were many onlookers gathered in front of the Xuanhua Gate, and the people who couldn't see the situation in the field behind them crowded forward one by one, so that the circle of onlookers was not large, and under Wei Qing's step-by-step pressing, the space left for Jiang Yang to dodge became smaller and smaller, and after less than ten moves of fighting between the two sides, Wei Qing forced Jiang Yang to the edge of the field. Seeing that the soldiers who were watching right behind the other party, Jiang Yang had no way to retreat, Wei Qing hurriedly made a move "left and right" with both palms, pushed the palm power to both sides of Jiang Yang's side, blocking his way to dodge left and right, and then the two palms together, followed with great agility and struck a move towards the middle to "push the door to see the mountain", straight to the opponent's chest. At this time, Jiang Yang had no other way than to make a hard block, so he had to pour the internal force into his palm, and he also used his palms to fight with Wei Qing.
Seeing this, Wei Qing secretly said in his heart, he knew the depth of Jiang Yang's internal force in his hand yesterday, and he thought that he was going to expose the other party's original form in this move, and the two of them exchanged their palms, only to hear the sound of "bang", Wei Qing suddenly realized that something was wrong, it turned out that Jiang Yang's internal force was much stronger than yesterday, and he didn't have time to think about it before he felt that the internal force on the other party's palm was surging fiercely like a mountain and a sea, and he was immediately hit three steps back, and the blood in his chest was churning for a while, and he couldn't even say a word.
"Agreed, thank you for your mercy", Jiang Yang stood calmly and hugged his fists to Wei Qing, and then turned to Sun Fu and said, "Lord Sun, I think this is the end of it, even if this matter is exposed like this, don't miss the time to go out of the city to set up the formation."
"Okay, well, everyone doesn't know whether they win or lose, this matter has been understood, and no one will mention it again in the future", although Sun Fu doesn't know martial arts, but seeing Jiang Yang's demeanor at ease, Wei Qing was speechless, and he also knew that this competition was a move won by Jiang Yang, he was afraid that Wei Qing would slow down and compete again, so he hurriedly announced the results of the competition, he said that the two sides did not distinguish between victory and defeat, and they also gave Qin Hui a step down, lest Qin Hui lose face and have to find trouble again, "Everyone hurry up and return to the army, so as to go out of the city and line up to meet the enemy."
Sun Fu arched his hand to Qin Hui and hurriedly urged Guo Jing to lead his troops out of the city, Guo Jing still said nothing with a cold face, and he didn't look at Qin Hui, and then he came out through the Xuanhua Gate surrounded by soldiers. Wei Qing walked up to Qin Hui with guilt and said, "Brother Hui, I have a burden, I really can't live it, but ...... But this Jiang Yang was obviously not my opponent yesterday, how could he ...... How could the internal force suddenly become so much stronger?"
"It's useless to talk about it at this point, just do your best", although Qin Hui's face was pale at this time, he still patted Wei Qing's shoulder and said with relief, "Let's go to the city to watch the battle, and see what happens later." Qin Hui took Wei Qing, Xiao Qinchuan and Cao Lu, and followed Sun Fu to the city wall to the gatehouse to watch the battle outside the city. I saw that Guo Jing left more than 1,000 so-called Liujia soldiers in the upper city of Xuanhua Gate to protect the rear formation, and then led the rest of the 6,000 people out of the city.
Although Qin Hui had promised Sun Fu that he would not take care of the affairs here, he couldn't help but persuade him when he saw this: "Lord Sun, can this kind of formation really defeat the Jin army, I think it is better to transfer some forbidden troops over just in case."
The unhappiness on Sun Fu's face flashed, and he still replied politely: "Lord Qin doesn't know, Guo Shenxian once mentioned the beauty of this Liujia formation to the lower officials, although this formation looks messy, but in fact, it contains the reason of Huang Lao's inaction, and after waiting for Guo Shenxian to cast the spell later, the soldiers in the formation can be invulnerable, no matter how strong his Jurchen Tartar is, what can he do when he encounters such an immortal method."
Sun Fu saw that Qin Hui had the appearance of wanting to speak and persuade again, and then added with a smile: "Guo Shenxian Mana Abyss, even the newly created sword wound yesterday can be cured overnight, how can I and other ordinary people understand the mystery, Lord Qin should wait and see with peace of mind."
Qin Hui was suddenly speechless, but it was inconvenient for him to be angry openly, so he had to continue to raise his eyes to look outside the city worriedly. However, after a long time, I saw bursts of dust and smoke rising in the distance, but it was the Jin army who discovered the movement outside the Xuanhua Gate, gathered people and horses to meet them, and did not wait long after the Jin army finished the formation, and soon sent two teams of light cavalry to outflank from the two wings of the Liujia formation, and surrounded the Song soldiers outside the city, Sun Fu snorted coldly when he saw this: "Look at this formation, the Jin people are still delusional about annihilating our army, and they will look good later."
As soon as Sun Fu's words fell, he heard the sound of iron hooves stomping on the ground in the distance, but it was the Jin army that dispatched the so-called "Iron Floating Massacre" The heavy armored cavalry attacked from the front, and everyone in the city hurriedly lay on the city wall, stretched their necks to see how Guo Jing's Liujia array was powerful, but saw that as soon as the two armies came into contact, the Liujia soldiers of the front phalanx were like rolling soup and pouring snow, and more than 1,000 soldiers fled backwards after leaving a corpse, and immediately dispersed the phalanx behind, and the soldiers of the six phalanxes were gathered together to drive them to Xuanhuamen under the encirclement of the front and the two wings of the Jin army.
"This ...... What's going on, why doesn't Guo Shenxian cast a spell", Sun Fu's eyes widened as if he couldn't believe what he saw in front of him, his eyes were bloodshot under his anger, and he saw from a distance that Guo Jing's banner set up in the Chinese army fell to the ground, only to hear the cry of "defeated, run" faintly came to his ears, and he suddenly sat down on the ground and was at a loss.
Qin Hui pulled up Sun Fu and said: "Quickly gather the reserve army in the city to come and support, order the soldiers guarding the gate to close the city gate, and quickly send a banner to let the defeated soldiers outside the city break through from both sides, do not approach the city, and send someone to report to the defenders of the inner city to go to the city to defend."
Sun Fu was angry at this time, sitting on the ground with dull eyes and no response to Qin Hui's pulling, Qin Hui reached out and took out the tiger talisman from his arms and handed it to Cao Ludao: "There are three thousand forbidden troops stationed in the nearest Baokang Gate from here, you use this talisman to recruit them to rush to the rescue, go quickly."
After Cao Lu took the talisman and left, Qin Hui tore off the seal of the four-wall defense envoy from Sun Fu's waist, raised it in his hand and shouted loudly: "Lord Sun has an order, Guo Jing outside the city is a fine work of the Jin people, to lead the defeated soldiers to help the Jin army to seize the city, the armies listen to the order to close the city gate quickly, all those who defeat the army to join the city and seize the gate will be shot on the spot, the murderer has no fault, and the one who abandons the defender will be beheaded immediately."
After Qin Hui finished speaking, he turned around and handed the seal ribbon to Xiao Qinchuan and Wei Qingdao: "Quickly go down to the city and order the soldiers guarding the gate to close the door, and those who disobey the military order will be killed on the spot."
Wei Qing and Xiao Qinchuan hurriedly ran down the city, but saw that there was chaos at the city gate, Lai Hou'er was shouting and beckoning his soldiers: "Jiang Yingtou has an order, open the city gate and let the brothers outside come in, everyone hurry up and don't rub it in, Jiang Yingtou can say, as long as you open the door, you will be rewarded."
