Li Tai and his party were not a large group, and the military drum they carried was not a big drum, but at this time, the drum was the only one near the post that was loud, and every beat and every sound of the drum was breathtaking.
Of the five hundred armored soldiers, two hundred were mounted on their horses, each armed with bows and knives, and were arranged on the two wings. The rest were arrayed in front of the post with guns. After the array was completed, they remained silent except for a few soldiers.
Still beating the drum.
Yang Ling's Buqu on the opposite side was not as orderly as Li Tai's Buqu. They all heard Li Tai's orders just now. They were used to being domineering in the county all year round and developed an arrogant character. They immediately took this as a provocation.
, they all yelled and cursed loudly.
Some soldiers even crossed the line and mounted their horses in an attempt to intimidate and shake up the opposing battle formation. Yang Ling did not stop this, and wanted to use these actions to test the quality of Li Tai's troops.
Some of the soldiers rushed within a few feet of the opponent's line, but the armored soldiers in the opponent's formation seemed not to notice it. Only the archers at the core of the formation raised their bows and arrows, aiming at the noisy people.
The harassing Di soldiers were still drawn but did not shoot.
When Yang Ling saw this scene, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He is also a veteran of the powerful chieftains here who has been in military battles for a long time. You can probably tell whether an army is brave or not, but when he saw Li Tai's army's immobile military formation, he already knew that this was a tough nut to crack.
bone.
Although Yang Ling was not afraid of fighting, he still knew that if he wanted to fight with him, he had to be prepared to suffer heavy casualties, which was far from the situation when he was fighting against the powerful powers in the county.
As soon as the drum sounded, a general came forward and said to Yang Ling in a low voice with a solemn face: "My lord, this guest army does not look like an ordinary army. If you want to win quickly, you must attack more and attack less.
It’s better to go to the left to defend and then send troops over..."
"nonsense!"
Without waiting for the general to finish speaking, Yang Ling rebuked in a deep voice. He was just trying to show off his prestige, and he did not really want to cause rebellion. The current situation can be said to be opportune, and no offense was intended. If he really mobilized a large number of troops,
To have Dugu Xin's son-in-law surrounded and suppressed was really tiring of life.
But his subordinate's words also reminded him that he still can't really fight. If the opponent is just a weak force that can be easily dealt with, it will be defeated, but looking at this posture, he doesn't want to. Even if he barely wins, the loss of troops will not matter.
It will also make the local tycoons here who are watching the fun laugh.
Before he could think of what to do, the second tom had already sounded.
Hearing the annoying drum sound, cold sweat broke out on Yang Ling's forehead. Because his courage was no longer strong, his thoughts suddenly became more chaotic, and all kinds of worried thoughts emerged from his mind.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, young general, let the drums stop first! I am not afraid of fighting, but I have no grudge against Li Sanqi, and I don't want my son's life to be lost in this dispute. Li Sanqi may have been deceived by the traitorous villagers, and he is treating me.
There was a misunderstanding..."
Taking advantage of the pause in the second drum call, Yang Ling hurriedly shouted loudly, but felt that saying so seemed to weaken his momentum, so he pointed at Li Tai and shouted angrily: "Don't rely on this, you ignorant young general.
Shangguan is in power and looks down on the heroes at Longbian! I won’t bully you for being young and weak, but I will send the brave and good fighters in your team to fight with me for a while. Life and death will be determined by destiny. Do you dare to accept the challenge?"
Li Tai immediately became happy when he heard this. It seemed that this guy was not completely bold and unscrupulous. Before he could reply, Zhang Shinu beside him had already raised his sword and said in a deep voice: "Master Lang, let me
I picked up my sword and went to cut off this bitch’s head!”
"No need!"
Li Tai shook his head, raised the horse in his hand and pointed at the opponent in the distance. While riding the horse out of the battle, he said in a deep voice: "Keep beating the drum. If the drum stops, the battle will begin!"
When Yang Ling saw Li Tai riding out to fight, his heartstrings relaxed. But when he heard the third drum ringing, he suddenly became furious. He pointed at Li Tai and roared: "You kid is teasing me! It's you today."
Death date!"
As he spoke, he struck up his horse and rushed towards Li Tai. The two-edged spear in his hand went straight into the mouth of a poisonous snake, and at the moment when the two horsemen were approaching at great speed, it stabbed straight into Li Tai's chest.
The horse spear in Li Tai's hand was not idle either. He turned a blind eye to the spear blade that was piercing his chest and only thrust the spear blade towards the opponent, as if both sides were harmed.
If they hit each other hard, they might not all be directly pierced by the opponent's weapon. However, the horse in Li Tai's hand is actually nearly two feet longer than the opponent's weapon. Although the length of these two feet is in actual situations, especially
When the inertia is huge, it is difficult to make an effective response in time, but it can give people a huge psychological advantage.
Yang Ling saw the sharp edge in his field of vision getting clearer and clearer, and felt panicked in his heart. After all, he did not dare to go straight towards it. Taking advantage of the fact that his strength was not exhausted, he leaned his upper body back and thrust the two-edged spear back into his chest.
In front of him, he turned his arms vigorously from right to left, intending to block the sharp edge, and then used the tail edge of the spear to hit Li Tai directly between the ribs.
boom!
Following a dull thud, Yang Ling felt the arms holding the spear body in front of him shake violently, and the jaws of the two hands surrounding the spear shaft were numb and hot, accompanied by a tearing pain that lingered between his arms.
The force of the diagonal thrust was completely shattered, and the tight left arm muscles were numb and aching, but there was no effort.
Li Tai's attack here was in vain, and the front end of the horse's horse bounced up uncontrollably. He had to use both arms at the same time to circle the horse in front of him to resist the enemy's counterattack. He couldn't help but secretly sigh at this Di chieftain.
Yang Ling really has some arrogance.
Although he is not a peerless warrior with extraordinary talents, he is also a heroic man who can fight alone without taking a breath. In recent years, he has been training hard and his arm strength has been steadily improving. The first blow before a battle is the moment when the fighting spirit is fullest. He can
Not many people survive this.
This Yang Ling was just a little-known ordinary Di chief in Longbian. His ability to withstand blows was quite good. He didn't even grunt after receiving a blow from him.
Thoughts were racing in his mind. The two horses were already moving apart at high speed. Li Tai clamped the horse's body with his left leg and used the sideways gallop to remove the straight inertia, but he didn't have time to turn around and fight back.
The sound of galloping horses' hooves from behind was already coming rapidly from far to near.
After charging back so quickly, the opponent obviously stopped and turned hard on the war horse. Although this approach can slightly gain the upper hand, the damage to the war horse is extremely great. Even if the war horse is well-trained, it will only increase the damage.
The ability to withstand damage cannot be exempted.
Yang Ling, who hurriedly fought back, was aware of his own suffering. Only after he regained his balance on horseback did he feel the cramping pain in his back and ribs.
He also has some fighting skills, but the most basic thing is to use one force to defeat him ten times. He hastily changed his position with that blow just now, and he has already lost the initiative. He completely withstood the opponent's powerful blow, but the strength was beyond
It stretched his endurance, and although he did not suffer any visible injuries, the numbness and pain from his arms to his waist had already announced that his condition was rapidly declining.
Unexpectedly, a young general who looked like an embroidered pillow could have such terrifying combat power. Yang Ling was shocked for a moment, but the current critical situation did not allow him to think about it further. He could only hope to seize the opportunity.
Rich combat experience enables quick victory.
A strong wind was blowing behind him, but Li Tai still didn't turn around to face the enemy. The grown-up Ma Shan really couldn't do anything like a carbine, so Li Tai could only glance sideways and saw the cold and sharp spear.
The sharp edge was already stabbing directly at his shoulder and neck.
When there was no chance of anything happening, he threw away the horse spear in his hand, leaned down to avoid a spear, and drew out his saber, hanging it sideways on the side of the horse, avoiding the dangerous situation of the sharp edge. But Yang Ling relied on
With the superiority of weapons, the cavalry was chasing after him, following him like a shadow. The two-edged spear was stabbing or prodding, pecking left and right, but Li Tai was not given more time to react.
Li Taiji tried to deceive him, but was avoided by Yang Ling. The sword in his hand was useless except for blocking the attack. He simply discarded the sword. He saw an opportunity, held one end of Yang Ling's spear with both hands, and then used force
Drag it backwards.
Yang Ling knew that Li Tai's arms were strong, and he immediately panicked when the weapon was grasped. He clenched his hands tightly, but then a huge force pulled him to the opposite side. The pain in his arms still lingered, and he resisted against himself.
It was so strenuous that I hurriedly tightened my grip on the horse's belly, trying to make the horse charge sideways to relieve its force.
Li Tai didn't stand still when he saw this. He didn't relax his hands holding the spear body. The war horse under his crotch was running in the same direction as the enemy. When he got a slight lead, he gave another fierce swing.
Yang Ling felt his body light up, as if he was flying into the sky. In panic, he subconsciously lowered his head and looked down. When he saw the saddle and the back of the horse were still close to his crotch, he felt a little at ease in his heart. However, he soon realized that something was wrong, and he concentrated again.
When he looked, the war horse beneath his legs was thrown up together with him, and he suddenly let out a panicked roar.
No matter how strong Li Tai's arm strength was, he certainly could not throw the man and the horse away. It was just that Yang Ling's horse had already suffered a serious sprain due to the sudden suddenness before.
And was taken advantage of the situation to fly up.
With a loud bang, Yang Ling fell to the ground, including both men and horses. The horse vomited blood and neighed. While he was enduring the dizziness of the dizziness, and was about to struggle to get up, something cold was already stuck in his neck. It was the two things he had lost.
Blade spear.
At the same time, the sound of the third drum also stopped abruptly. Yang Ling's subordinates were still horrified that their lord had fallen into the hands of the enemy. They were at a loss for a while. They wanted to rescue but did not dare to do anything.
However, Li Tai's subordinates still remembered the previous order. As the drum order stopped, the cavalry on both wings rushed straight towards the opponent's formation like arrows. Zhang Shinu and others rushed into the field with quick eyes and hands, using
Li Tai, who restrained Yang Ling with a spear, protected him.
"Dismount, abandon your weapon, quickly, quickly!"
At this moment, Yang Ling finally came around from the dizziness and shock. Seeing that his own formation had been attacked and in chaos, he shouted hurriedly, buried his head in the dust and kowtowed again and again: "I am guilty of my humble position. I beg Li Sanqi to spare his life..."
