Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Battle of the Pontoon Bridge

In the local area, the people are very superstitious about the Kaiyuan iron ox in front of the pontoon bridge, and they will never dare to offend it in the slightest, let alone ride on the iron ox. The people on both sides of the Yellow River glared angrily at this young man, secretly blaspheming him, but when they saw a short-handled silver spear behind this kid, they were dissatisfied and had to put it in their hearts, daring to be angry and dare not speak.

Gao Jie saw that this young man was a maverick and had a distinctive appearance, and he felt interesting, so he showed him a bright smile to show his friendliness.

Unexpectedly, when the short young man saw Gao Jie smiling at him, he rolled his eyes, turned his eyes away, and looked at the sky.

Gao Jie has always been very confident in his charming smile, but today he was ignored by this big-nosed young man, and he was bored with a boss, and he couldn't help but feel very depressed in his heart, and he was no longer in the mood to appreciate the iron bull and iron man, he turned over on his horse angrily, greeted Yu Hongzhi, patted the bridge on the horse, and went to the west bank of the Yellow River.

Before leaving, he saw an old man in a strong suit about sixty or seventy years old suddenly walk up to the short young man, slap him on the back of the head, and roar a few times, but the seemingly unruly young man did not dare to resist, drooped his head, and reluctantly rolled over from the iron bull.

Seeing that this young man was deflated, Gao Jie couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness in his heart, and the previous depression was swept away, he rode a horse, leisurely marched on the somewhat swaying pontoon bridge, and sang proudly and loudly: "I laugh proudly, I laugh proudly......"

When the young man heard Gao Jie's singing, he faintly felt that he was laughing at himself, and the two huge nostrils on his big nose snorted, just because the old man who taught him was beside him, he had to stare at Gao Jie's back with hatred, secretly aggrieved, and didn't dare to make a sound.

Gao Jie didn't care about the young man's mood, and continued to ride slowly on the bridge.

The pontoon bridge is not narrow, enough for four riders to walk side by side. Gao Jie's ears were sharp, and he heard two middle-aged women dressed as ordinary people not far away, talking in a whisper:

"There are people who are so bold, who is the ugly boy?!"

"You don't even know him?!Isn't it Ji Jike, the little demon king of Beiyiping Village, Zhufengli?!"

"Ah, he is the second boy of Ji Xun, the flower knife king of Jijiazhuang?"

"Isn't it? Old man Ji Xun only got this little son when he was nearly fifty years old, and he was very spoiled, so he was so used to this Ji Ji that he was lawless, and even the sacred cow was not respectful!"

"Alas, Old Man Ji has been righteous and upright all his life, hoeing the strong and helping the weak, how can there be such an unsuccessful child!"

His eldest son Ji Shi, steady and upright, has a very good reputation, although the two daughters are not beautiful, but the women do not let the eyebrows, not only skilled, but also the family education is good, married to the two sons of the old man Ren Jianwen of the sledgehammer in the next village, the husband and the son, it was originally very happy, but unfortunately last month Ren Jiazhuang went out to catch a merchant in Puzhou City who smuggled grain to the enemy, but I didn't expect that the merchant asked a master to protect him, and the two sons of the Ren family were killed in battle!"

"Alas, it seems that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read!"

"But it's okay, although this Ji Ji is naughty and mischievous, but in addition to looking for people to compete and fight everywhere, he has never done anything hurtful!"

"If you don't discipline it strictly, it's hard to say in the future!"

Hearing this, Gao Jie laughed secretly in his heart, it turned out that not only did he not like that guy when he saw it, but it turned out that he was also a master who even hated dogs! However, when he heard that the merchants in Puzhou were collaborating with the enemy, his heart tightened, and he secretly wondered if this so-called "enemy" would refer to Huang Taiji and their big gold?

What to think, Gao Jie was still muttering in his heart, and suddenly he heard a shout behind him: "Catch these Jurchen dogs!"

Gao Jie was shocked, stopped his horses, looked back, and saw that at the head of the bridge on the east side of the pontoon bridge, the twenty or so men in strong armor all had weapons in their hands, and surrounded the three people in the middle.

Of the three, two were tall adults, and the other was a teenager about ten years old, and Gao Jie recognized them at a glance, it was Dai Shan, Huang Taiji, and Dolgon.

Huang Taiji calmed down Dai Shan, who was a little angry because he heard someone shouting them "Jurchen dogs", and calmly hugged his fists and said: "We are indeed the people of Dajin, and we didn't do anything to hurt nature and reason when we came to Puzhou, why do you heroes speak disrespectfully, not only insult each other, but also fight each other with swords?!"

A burly sixty-year-old man with a double hammer stepped forward and shouted angrily: "You Jurchens and my Ming Dynasty are incompatible, and they should have been killed, not to mention that my two sons died at the hands of Puzhou profiteers who secretly colluded with you, and my sledgehammer Ren Jianwen and you Jurchens have a deep enmity like the sea, and today you don't want to leave alive!"

The old man who had taught Ji Jike just now also pulled out two short knives from behind his back, stood beside Ren Jianwen, and sneered: "You hid your tracks the day before yesterday and sneaked into Puzhou City, and you were already detected by our eyes, and my father-in-law and I led everyone to wait for you in Pujindu for two days and two nights, and now it is finally blocked, and it is difficult for the three of you to fly across the Yellow River with wings!"

Huang Taiji frowned, his face was calm, but his tone was still unhurried: "The two countries are fighting, it is a major national matter, what does it have to do with ordinary people such as us? Seeing that you are extraordinary, you should be a martial arts person of the Ming Dynasty, don't you know that even if it is an enemy country, there are kind and innocent people, and there are also businessmen who walk the rivers and lakes? These people who did not participate in the war, do you also want to kill them for no reason?!"

Huang Taiji was born in the noble Aixin Jueluo Royal, whose knowledge and eloquence are far superior to those martial arts people in the mountains and wilderness, Ji Xun felt speechless at that time, and he couldn't speak silently for a long time.

Ren Jianwen was also stunned, and then shouted: "I don't care what kind of ordinary people you are, anyway, the blood feud of my two sons' deaths should be counted on your Jurchen dogs, if you want to escape from life if you want to talk flatteringly, it's a dream!"

Dai Shan saw that the other party was talking foul language about a "Jurchen dog", where could he still endure it, he pulled Huang Taiji away, and shouted: "Your son was not killed by our own hands, but you still think that you have a deep hatred with the three of us, it is really unreasonable! If you really hate all the people of my Dajin, you should also put on your battle armor, raise your sword and gun, and fight with my Dajin warriors on the battlefield in a dignified and upright manner, fighting to the death! Like now, you are a hero who bullies the widow with the crowd and is a bird!"

Ren Jianwen was full of anger, his eyes glared at Dai Shan as if he was about to breathe fire, and shouted: "Okay! Although I am Ren Jianwen late, I still have the ambition to serve the country, and after today, I will definitely lead the strong men in the village to go to the army to kill the enemy! But today, you don't want to escape, just wait for me to go to the army to surrender!"

As soon as the words fell, Ren Jianwen danced with his hammers, and with the sound of wind and thunder, he smashed Dai Shan's head.

Ren Jianwen's double hammer hammer method is a family martial arts that has been passed down for three generations, a single hammer weighs eighty pounds, his eyes are red, his double hammer dances, there is no sense of difficulty, its momentum is like thunder, the front hammer is shaking, the back hammer is the real killer move, the end is unpredictable, ruthless.

Dai Shanhu's body was straight, his long eyes were narrow, and he had already pulled out the Baylor long knife in his hand, he let out a long roar, and the knife was full of anger, and when there were two sounds, Ren Jianwen's powerful double hammers were all blocked, and his body did not shake at all.

Ren Jianwen's heart froze, knowing that he was meeting a fierce enemy, and now he has unreservedly displayed all the decades of kung fu, and the hammer shadow in the sky is like a star falling, covering Dai Shan in it.

At this time, the people who had nothing to do with the bridgehead had already been frightened and avoided from afar, vacating a large area. Huang Taiji stood with his hands in his hands, and he didn't have any worries about Dai Shan, who was in the midst of a dangerous hammer situation, he just whispered: "Second brother, stay a little measured, don't hurt your life!"

Soon, a loud noise was deafening, and everyone next to them felt that their eardrums were about to penetrate, and they were horrified, and when they looked closely, they saw that the shadow of the hammer had disappeared without a trace, and the heavy hammer Ren Jianwen staggered back a few steps before he stood firm.

And Dai Shan's long knife pointed obliquely at the sky, his body was as steady as a mountain, and he looked at Ren Jianwen quietly and said, "Old man, you lost!"

When Ren Jianwen heard this, his face was blue and red, and his whole body trembled, how could he be kind to the pain of being killed, knowing that he was not defeated, he still took a deep breath, and was about to attack again, but was pulled by Ji Xun on the side. Ji Xun whispered in his ear: "This Jurchen has extremely high kung fu, I'm afraid I have to combine the strength of the two of us to fight the enemy!"

Although Ren Jianwen was eager for revenge, after all, he was experienced and felt that what his in-laws said was true, so he opened his mouth and shouted: "Jurchen dog, today I am avenging my son, not learning martial arts with you, you don't have to stick to the rules of the rivers and lakes, in-laws, let's go together!"

Ji Xun nodded, rushed out first, and the two short knives in his hands were as bright as flowers, falling like flowers in the sky, attacking Daishan. He is worthy of the title of "Flower Knife King", the method of the secret flower knife of the family makes the furnace perfect, the moves are extremely complicated, among the ten knives, there are seven or eight knives are false moves, and the real killing moves are hidden in the beautiful knife shadow like Luoying, just like a wolf hidden in the night, and will wait for the opportunity to come out at any time!

Ren Jianwen saw Ji Xun rushing forward, and he did not slack off, and dodged behind Dai Shan, and the double hammer danced thunderously, attacking his vest.

Dai Shan's long eyebrows were furrowed, without fear, his body rushed towards Ji Xun, and with an indomitable momentum, he slashed down obliquely, like a lightning bolt drawn in the daytime, breaking into the shadow of the knife like a hundred flowers. His knife technique is extremely simple, very different from Ji Xun's double knife, each going to the extreme, without the slightest fancy, and it is completely the most practical knife technique created on the battlefield.

As Dai Shan rushed forward, Ren Jianwen's double hammer smashed into the air behind him. Ji Xun saw that his dense knife net was slashed into by this tall Jurchen man, and it was unstoppable, and his mind was a little inevitably seized by his brave momentum, so he dodged sideways helplessly, avoiding the powerful knife. And with his avoidance, the advantage of the first hand was suddenly lost, and Dai Shan's blade turned, and it was another knife to stop the waist and slash, and the sword light instantly chased Ji Xun's figure.

However, at this time, Ren Jianwen had already rushed behind him, and the sound of the hammer sounded behind his head, Dai Shan's eyebrows narrowed, and he had to change the direction of the knife, and reflexively faced the sledgehammer coming from his head.

Dai Shansheng is young, has fought in the battlefield for many years, has a strong mind, and his martial arts are higher than the two old men, while Ji Xun and the two have the advantage in numbers, and they have rich experience, and they cooperate tacitly, and under the heavy weight of the knife and hammer, the three of them are inseparable for a while.

In this battle, the masters of Renjiazhuang and Jijiazhuang next to them were thrilled and dizzy.

Huang Taiji was originally a person with a very good city, but at this moment, he saw that the two old men ignored the rules of the rivers and lakes, and fought against the second brother Daishan, and they could no longer maintain Shen Sui.

He looked down at Dolgon beside him, and asked softly, "Are you afraid?!"

The tiger-headed Dolgon took out a short knife studded with gems from his arms, split his mouth, revealing a pair of tiger teeth, and smiled at Huang Taiji: "I am also a warrior of the Jin Kingdom, how can I be afraid?!"

Huang Taiji smiled, touched Dolgon's little head, and praised: "Okay! Then you can protect yourself, and carefully watch how the second brother and the starling fight against the enemy!"

After speaking, Huang Taiji raised his head and roared angrily: "Two to one, is this your Central Plains martial arts master style?!" As soon as the words fell, he had an extra short sword in his hand that was also studded with gems, and he wanted to jump forward to help Dai Shan.

Suddenly, I heard a strange cry: "Hehe, then you and I will follow the rules of the rivers and lakes and try it alone!" This voice was sharp and piercing, like a night eagle crying, very terrifying.

When Huang Taiji heard the prestige, he saw a short and somewhat thin young man in front of him in a flash, only a few steps away from him.

Looking at this young man's huge nose and small mouth, Huang Taiji didn't have the slightest intention of laughing, because he felt a huge pressure coming from this strange-looking young man.
