With dual PhDs in materials science from his previous life, he transmigrated to ancient times and became a perpetually snubbed, impoverished scholar.
His family had reached the end of their r...
Xiang Shangjin was also shaken and staggered back several steps. He hadn't expected Meng Liang to be so strong.
However, Meng Liang was already old, and besides, I was the number one warrior of the Jin Kingdom. If I were to hit him a few times, Meng Liang would definitely not be able to withstand it.
It seems that Meng Liang still has some backbone. Since he is unwilling to surrender, then capture him and let him suffer some physical pain when we get back. I don't believe he will still be so stubborn.
Thinking of this, Xiang Shangjin raised the large iron bar in his hand and smashed it down on Meng Liang again.
Knowing how formidable Xiang Shangjin was, Meng Liang dared not touch the large iron rod with his broadsword, and simply dodged it.
After a few rounds, Meng Liang started to pant. If this continued, he would be exhausted to death.
At this moment, Xiang Shangjin's warhorse was circling around Meng Liang, and the large iron rod in his hand was raining down on Meng Liang.
Meng Liang knew Xiang Shangjin's intention; he wanted to capture him alive. In order to prevent Xiang Shangjin from succeeding, he had no choice but to dodge left and right.
Meng Liang was no longer young, and after fighting for so long, he was already exhausted. If this continued, he would be caught by Xiang Shangjin sooner or later.
The soldiers around Meng Liang also saw that the situation was unfavorable to them. If they rushed to rescue Meng Liang, the enemy forces would also swarm in, and a chaotic battle would be inevitable. In that case, not only would they not be able to save Meng Liang, but their side would also be doomed to defeat.
At this critical moment, a warhorse, like a bolt of lightning, charged towards the two combatants.
"Father, do not panic, do not be afraid, Li Guang is here."
As Li Guang led his troops to the camp, he worried that Meng Liang might be ambushed by the Jin soldiers while setting up camp, so he sent Yue Heng ahead while he went ahead.
Di Nu's horse ran too fast and arrived near Meilin City in the blink of an eye. He did not expect that the two sides had already clashed. He took out his binoculars and observed for a while, and found that Meng Liang had already taken to the battlefield and started fighting Xiang Shangjin.
After watching for a while, he realized that Meng Liang was no match for Xiang Shangjin and would soon be defeated, so he urged his horse forward to lend Meng Liang a hand.
As soon as Li Guang's voice arrived, he was already at the front of the two armies. He raised his spear and thrust it towards the golden chest of the enemy.
Xiang Shangjin never dreamed that at this crucial moment, a warrior would rush up to him. Before he could even see the person's face clearly, a large spear was thrust at him. The speed was too fast.
Xiang Shangjin quickly used the big stick in his hand to block, and although he managed to deflect Li Guang's silver spear, Xiang Shangjin's arms were also numb from the impact.
"What incredible strength!" Xiang Shangjin gasped, realizing he had met his match.
Li Guang obtained the silver spear in Gujiazhuang. It was a divine spear, weighing 180 jin (approximately 90 kg), not much lighter than Xiang Shangjin's big club. Of course, Xiang Shangjin was unaware of the spear's power.
Meng Liang quickly spurred his horse to jump out of the circle, exhaled a long breath of stale air, and looked at himself, who was already soaked in sweat.
"Father, are you alright?" Li Guang asked.
Meng Liang wiped the sweat from his face and then he could see Li Guang clearly. He was riding a white horse and carrying a silver spear, looking very imposing.
When Li Guang was in the castle, he was still a scholar; now he is a general.
"Li Guang, you've come at just the right time. Any later and I would be dead."
"Father, please rest aside and hand over the gold in your neck to me."
Meng Liang nodded and spurred his horse back to the formation.
Seeing Meng Liang leave, Li Guang turned back to look at Xiang Shangjin.
Xiang Shangjin was a little confused. Judging from their conversation, the two seemed to be father and son, but they didn't look like it at all, so he asked:
"Who goes there? What is your relationship with Meng Liang?"
"Mind your own business. Win this spear from me first." Li Guang didn't want to waste words with him and thrust his spear forward.
Knowing Li Guang's prowess, Xiang Shangjin dared not be negligent and raised his staff to meet the challenge.
As expected of the Jin Dynasty's number one warrior, Li Guang couldn't help but praise him. Not only was he strong, but his staff skills were also very proficient. It would not be easy for Li Guang to win a quick victory and take down Xiang Shangjin.
The fierce battle between the two on the field was an eye-opener for everyone. Li Guang's superb spear skills always kept Xiang Shangjin on the edge, leaving him struggling to keep up.
Seeing this, Meng Liang burst into laughter. He hadn't expected Li Guang to be so formidable. Xiang Shangjin was no match for him at all, and taking down Xiang Shangjin was only a matter of time.
"Someone, blow the horns and beat the drums to cheer us on!"
Soon, majestic horns and thunderous war drums resounded on the battlefield. Li Guang was overjoyed to see his father-in-law drumming to cheer him on. He swung his spear and fought with increasing ferocity.
At this moment, Xiang Shangjin was drenched in sweat and wanted to leave the battlefield. Li Guang could also see that he was distracted, and this was the best opportunity to defeat him.
Li Guang brandished his spear and thrust it toward Xiang Shangjin's face. Xiang Shangjin dodged by shaking his head. Under normal circumstances, Li Guang should have pulled the spear back before thrusting it again.
Just as Xiang Shangjin dodged the spear, Li Guang swung the spear like a club. Xiang Shangjin, who had just dodged the spear, saw the spear coming and dared not be careless, so he quickly ducked to avoid it.
Unexpectedly, Li Guang's move was a feint. Seeing Xiang Shangjin try to dodge, he quickly pulled his spear back a little and then thrust it forward again.
Xiang Shangjin thought he had dodged it, and just as he raised his head, he found that the spear was already at his face. If it pierced him, his head would be pierced through.
Xiang Shangjin was terrified and tried his best to dodge to the side. He managed to avoid the spear hitting his face, but he missed his ear, which was pierced by the spear.
To be honest, the ear is just a thick piece of skin. When Li Guang pierced it with his spear, the golden ear on the neck was basically gone, and blood gushed out immediately.
With a loud cry, Xiang Shangjin disregarded the pain and spurred his horse to flee.
Li Guang pursued after him, hoping to capture Xiang Shangjin alive, which would make the subsequent battles much easier.
“Don’t hurt my lord, take this!”
At this moment, a general rushed out from the Jin army's formation, brandishing his sword and charging towards Li Guang.
This man let Xiang Shangjin pass, came to Li Guang, and raised his knife to strike.
Li Guang raised his spear to meet the Jin general's broadsword, but the broadsword flew away as soon as it touched Li Guang's spear.
Jin was terrified and turned to flee, but Li Guang reached out and grabbed his belt, lifting him up.
Even if you didn't catch the gold medal, catching a gold general is still not bad; at least you've gained something.
He turned his horse around, ready to leave, but unexpectedly another Jin general charged forward from behind, wielding a pair of large iron hammers.
"Don't move, you people in front! Release my brother!"
Li Guang turned around and saw that the man was tall and strong. Judging from the pair of large iron hammers in his hands, he was a fierce general with considerable strength.
It seems there's no going back, but what about this golden general in my hand? He'll run away if I put him down.
"Fine, since he's his brother, I'll give it back to him." Li Guang raised the golden general in his hand and threw it at the newcomer.
“Here’s your brother back, you’d better catch him,” Li Guang reminded him.
Jin Jiang, who was running, was stunned when he saw his brother flying towards him, and he didn't know what to do.
