The fierce battle between Taishi Ci and Yan Liang has become the top priority in the field. There is no doubt that the victory or defeat between them will play a huge decisive role in the direction of this battle.
If Taishi Ci wins, the overall situation will be settled; if Yan Liang wins, Yuan Jun may come back.
The potter also held the horse's rein tightly from a distance, watching the fierce battle between the two men from a distance, inseparable for a moment.
He was not only concerned about the victory or defeat on the battlefield, but also about Taishi Ci's personal safety. After all, Taishi Ci was his sworn brother.
Halfway through the fierce battle between Taishi Ci and Yan Liang, both sides began to pant, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that in terms of strength, Yan Liang was still slightly superior to Taishi Ci.
Yan Liang's strength is indeed rare in the world. Even though Taishi Ci had a red rabbit horse, the wet ground was muddy and the movement of the war horse was limited, so it could not display its normal skills. In a head-on fight, Yan Liang still gradually attacked it after a hundred rounds.
suppressed.
Before the sword arrived, the cold wind arrived first. Yan Liang's steel sword was raised in the air again and struck Tai Shici head-on.
Goosebumps appeared on Taishi Ci's neck. He raised his halberd with all his strength and bravely blocked Yan Liang's sword. He only felt that his arms were extremely numb.
Yan Liang's sword was made by a famous craftsman from Hebei. It was wide and heavy. In addition, he was so angry that he had already put life and death aside. Every slash he made under his shoulder was almost as strong as breaking gold and gravel.
.
Both of them were very tired now, but Yan Liang was obviously still stronger and his endurance was slightly longer than Tai Shi Ci's.
He was born in a bitter cold land on the border, and his endurance was indeed better than that of Tai Shici, who was born in Qingzhou.
Yan Liang's sword slashed at him again. Although Taishi Ci was at the end of his strength, he gritted his teeth and held on to the halberd with both hands, blocking Yan Liang's sword outward.
Hearing a loud "bang" sound of iron weapons clashing, Taishi Ci immediately felt a little tightness in his chest, his eyes were slightly dizzy, and his arms seemed to be numb, almost from the tips of his fingers to his armpits.
Yan Liang had planned this strike for a long time. After more than a hundred rounds of fierce fighting, both sides were already at the end of their strength. Yan Liang's powerful attack just now also used up all his strength.
Now he was close to losing strength, but Taishi Ci suffered a blow just now and exposed his flaw. Yan Liang could not see it. He was overjoyed, gritted his teeth and raised the knife in his hand again, yelling at Taishi Ci, "Die!"
Taishi Ci took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his posture, and prepared to raise his halberd to block Yan Liang.
At this critical moment, Yan Liang's figure suddenly stopped moving!
He was still holding the sword high, his eyes were round and full of disbelief and fear. For him, time seemed to have stopped.
Taishi Ci was also extremely surprised and looked at Yan Liang across from him blankly.
Compared with just now, Yan Liang now had an extra sharp arrow on his forehead. Blood flowed from his forehead to his cheek, and finally fell on the wet armor.
But this was just the beginning. The force of the arrow just now was very strong. After a while, blood sprayed out from the arrow hole on Yan Liang's forehead, like a continuous stream of river flowing out. The corners of Yan Liang's mouth wriggled, and finally he saw this
The giant man with the huge iron tower suddenly fell to the ground, his whole body trembling only slightly.
Everyone present could not help but look at this scene in surprise.
When I was young...
"General Yan is dead!"
"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly!"
"Run, run! This battle can't be fought!"
At this moment, Yan Liang's army was completely defeated. They fled in all directions and had no fighting spirit anymore. They could only let the Xuzhou Army pursue them without any fighting spirit.
Taishi Ci took a deep breath and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, feeling lingering fear in his heart.
If it hadn't been for the hidden arrow that killed Yan Liang just now, I might have been in danger just now.
However, he and Yan Liang fought fiercely, and the guards of both sides attacked each other nearby, without leaving a single gap for the other's troops.
Who is this archery man? How can he be so cool as to shoot hidden arrows in such a tight situation?
His ability to plot against others is astonishingly high...and at the same time, his despicable and shameless energy is also astonishing.
Taishi Ci turned around and saw one of his own generals running towards him on horseback.
"You?" Taishi Ci was stunned when he saw this, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Ma Zhong came to Tai Shici on his horse and said, "General Ziyi, are you okay?"
Taishi Ci looked at him silently for a while, then suddenly said, "Did you shoot that arrow just now?"
Ma Zhong also knew that what he did was not very honest, and his face couldn't help but turn red.
"This, this... is true, but I didn't do it deliberately. It's just that the battle between the general and Yan Liang was too dangerous, so I just wanted to help the general."
Taishi Ci raised his hand and said, "Forget it, there is no need to say anything more. No matter what, I accept your kindness for this matter. Thank you."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away, preparing to chase the enemy again.
Ma Zhong looked down at the corpse on the ground, suddenly woke up, turned to Tai Shici's back and shouted, "General Ziyi, this Yan Liang..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Tai Shici's voice coming from afar.
"The body will be left to you for disposal, and the merit is also yours, and a certain family does not want it."
Ma Zhong blinked and looked at Tai Shici's back as he walked further and further away, snorted in his nose and said, "It's OK! It's all mine!"
…
After the war, the pottery merchants began to collect the baggage lightly and reward them for their merits.
Ma Zhong killed Yan Liang with one arrow. As recorded in history, those who do small things will not achieve great results, but those who want to achieve great results can be called famous general killers.
Although Tai Shici was unwilling to take the credit, the potter still credited the two of them for killing Yan Liang.
Yan Liang died in battle, and the attacking army at the point of greatest pressure on the Yellow River East Road was eliminated by the potters. In the short term, we were safe.
Just when Tao Shang breathed his last, the school affairs office reported an urgent military situation, saying that Yuan Tan and Pang Ji had been ordered to lead an army to support Yan Liang, and that their troops had arrived on the north bank.
Upon hearing this, Tao Shang frowned slightly at first, but then smiled again and asked the school official, "Can the news of Yan Liang's defeat be disseminated at this moment?"
The staff of the school affairs office said, "Yan Liang was defeated and the remaining soldiers were scattered. However, it is not easy to cross the river. The fighting situation makes it difficult to return to the north bank for a while."
"Okay! Great." The pottery merchant clapped his hands heavily, and then hurriedly sent someone to find Taishi Ci and said, "We defeated Yan Liang. The soldiers who were captured and those who died on the battlefield still have their armor and flags.
?”
Taishi Ci didn't understand what he meant and said, "I was thinking about burning it or throwing it away... What? Third brother, do you want it?"
Tao Shang smiled and shook his head and said, "I have to trouble my elder brother to find some elite soldiers and generals, change into their clothes, and then help me capture Yuan Tan alive. Remember, we must capture him alive, and we must not hurt him."
It’s best if you don’t even suffer any injuries, okay?”
