"Lord, the enemy has agreed to fight." A flag signal soldier turned around quickly and reported.
Wu Lai nodded and pulled up the reins: "Scatter!"
"Yes!" The special forces soldier agreed, turned his horse's head and galloped back. Caesar grinned, put the half-pulled deer leg in his hand on his belt, hooked his toes and grabbed the big shield.
"Master, you hide behind me for a while." Caesar said in a muffled voice.
"Oh my god, I'm fighting with others, why should I hide behind you? Go away, go to the back and stand there, so that others won't say that I'm two against one." Wu Lai picked up the knife and hit Caesar's helmet with it.
"No, the ladies have told me not to let the enemy get close to you on the battlefield." Caesar shook his head.
"So do you think it's the Madam who can make the decision or me?" Wu Lai asked with a smile.
"Of course it's the master. The master is not only the head of the Grindo family, but also of Grindo Island, Muritania..." Caesar started counting with his wrench.
"Stop, stop. It's enough for you to know that I can make the decision. Back off, back off to the back. When I call you later, just rush up, okay?" Wu Lai smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Well..." Caesar hesitated and nodded, "Okay, Master, you decide."
"Why don't you hurry up?!" Wu Lai urged unhappily...
…
"Your Majesty, the other party seems to know Tianjuan very well." General Xinan, who was standing on the observation tower with Helen, couldn't help but say when he saw General Wu Lai withdraw all his guards.
"Hmph, he is not only familiar with Tianjuan, he is familiar with the entire continent." Helen said as she watched. In her field of vision, the special forces company and Caesar had retreated a mile and a half behind Wu Lai. Even the two flag soldiers began to retreat. Only Wu Lai remained in place, with his sword drawn and his horse ready.
After tasting the meaning behind Helen's words, Sinan hesitated for a moment and asked, "May I ask your Majesty, who is the other general?"
When Xinan asked this, the people around him also became curious, especially Li Moli, who wished his ears could prick up because he was standing a little far away.
"He is Wulailindo, the current high priest of the Assyrians." As soon as Helen finished speaking, the emotions of the people around her suddenly became complicated. Some were shocked, some admired Wulaidon, and some were full of doubts...
Under the tower, a young lieutenant was already armed. His name was Lipir, and like Hatra, he was from the Avram family. After checking the bows and arrows on both sides of the saddle, Lipir took the lance handed to him by the groom and climbed onto the horse.
His lance was unique to Tianjuan - a sharp copper spike was installed on the head of the long pole about eight cubits long, the hardwood body of the lance had a hand guard at the hand position, and a counterweight wooden spike at the rear. At the same time, a "gun stock hole" was made on the saddle to absorb the impact of the assassination during the charge.
Lance like this is basically used as a disposable weapon, because it is rare for a lance to remain intact after a single impact. In other words, this type of lance aims to achieve success with one strike.
But Lippi was not good at using the lance. He was good at the bow and arrow. No matter he was standing, kneeling or lying on the ground, or on the galloping horse, he could shoot the arrow quickly and accurately. In the Tianjuan territory, his archery skills ranked third.
Now, Lippi was ready to kill Wu Lai with one arrow. He was confident in his archery skills, and he also believed that Luo Shen would definitely grant him luck...
Lippi turned and looked up at the observation tower. Helen smiled slightly when she saw this, raised her jade arm and pointed lightly forward. She knew that the young lieutenant was waiting for her order.
"Charge!" Lippi squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, and the horse shot out like an arrow...
At the same time, Wu Lai raised the telescope in his hand. Since he dared to come, he must be confident of defeating the enemy general. Otherwise, he would not come to attack the enemy's morale, but to boost the enemy's morale.
Lippi was getting closer and closer, and his face and saddle were clearly visible...
"Oh my god, they came pretty fast." Wu Lai curled his lips, put down the telescope, and tapped the horse's belly with his heel. The horse snorted happily and started to trot...
As the distance got closer, Lippi's heartbeat could not help but speed up. Although the horse's back was bumpy and his hands holding the lance had begun to sweat, his eyes were still fixed on Wu Lai, who was becoming clearer and clearer, and he kept calculating the distance, wind direction, and timing of the attack...
In the observation tower, Helen's hands were sweating and the telescope in her hand was shaking slightly, forcing her to constantly adjust it to capture Wu Lai's figure...
Five hundred steps...
Four hundred steps...
Three hundred steps...
Lippi's lance butt hit the horse's buttocks hard again. He needed to be faster, so fast that the opponent couldn't see his movements clearly. He also needed to be closer, so close that the opponent had no time to react...
Two hundred steps...
One hundred and fifty steps...
Lippi was ecstatic because Wu Lai still did not change his posture of holding the reins and the sword, not realizing that his upper body had become a target...
When they were 120 steps apart, Lippi thrust his lance back into its hole...
When they were 118 steps apart, Lippi's left hand pulled the bow, and his right hand reached for the quiver in front of his right leg...
When they were 116 steps apart, Lippi had already drawn the arrow and pulled the bow hard...
When they were 115 steps apart, a feathered arrow whistled towards Wu Lai who was rushing towards them...
The next moment, Wu Lai's body suddenly flipped backwards, and the long sword fell to the ground...
Lippi reined in his horse, put his bow in his bag, and drew out his lance with his right hand. As Wu Lai fell with his sword, the horse still rushed forward, but the speed was slightly slowed down...
"Did I shoot him?" Lippi thought to himself. He felt that he should have shot Wu Lai in the chest, otherwise Wu Lai would not have turned over and dropped his knife. However, the horse rushing straight at him made him wonder...
As he was concentrating on being alert, he heard cheers from behind him. Lippi turned his head subconsciously and saw that the people on the observation tower were waving at him. Thousands of soldiers on the left and right wings of the observation tower were waving flags...
Oh, I really shot him. Lippi was delighted and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief...
There was a burst of cheers in the observation tower, even Helen had a smile on her face. After all, they were standing on a high place and observing intently. Their field of vision was naturally much wider than that of Lippi himself, so everyone saw clearly - after Lippi shot the arrow, Wu Lai rolled over and there was no movement.
"Lippi's arrow was really ruthless. It killed the arrogant guy instantly!" Li Moli shouted excitedly.
"Yes, yes, yes! Now it will be much easier to deal with Spritania! Hahahaha!" someone on the side echoed.
Helen took all these words to heart. They were as warm as the spring breeze, blowing away the haze that had accumulated in her heart for the past two days, making her happy and relaxed...
But for some reason, she suddenly felt a little sad, or rather, a trace of sadness suddenly welled up in her heart...
Maybe this is the will of the Rose God, so you have to die in such a humiliating way, she thought in her heart.
But this occasional sadness was soon completely drowned out by the cheers of the soldiers on both sides of the observation tower...
Lippi was waiting for the horse to come closer. He could see that it was a rare good horse. In addition, he had to cut off his opponent's head to complete the last step of the fight.
As the horse got closer and closer, Lippier tapped the horse's belly with his heels and slowly approached it. But in the next moment, a white shadow suddenly flashed before his eyes, and then he saw a smiling face...
Lippi's body suddenly stiffened due to extreme shock.
Oh my god! He was pretending! I didn't shoot him at all! Lippi screamed in his heart. At the same time, Wu Lai raised his arm slightly, "Bang"...
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
With a light "puff" sound, Lippi felt that his right eye was hit hard by a big stick. The pain made him cry and his head felt dizzy. No, more than dizzy, his head felt heavier and heavier, so heavy that it seemed as if he was covered with a hat made of a thousand shekels of bronze in an instant...
Lippi fell heavily from the saddle, and his horse immediately stood up - "Sigh..."
"Your Majesty, look! General Lippier has fallen from his horse!!!" The shouts interrupted the excitement and joy of the people in the observation tower...
Helen was startled, then raised the telescope. The next moment, her heart sank...
What she found ironic was that the soldiers on both wings under the observation tower were still cheering for victory...
"That's fair, isn't it? You shoot me an arrow, and I'll return it to you with a crossbow." Wu Lai said as he jumped off the horse, pulled out a rope from the belt on the side of the saddle, tied one end neatly around Lippi's ankles, and put the other end around the copper ring on the back of the saddle, then jumped on the horse.
"Go!" Wu Lai spurred his horse back and ran more than ten steps. The rope suddenly tightened and pulled Lippi's body...
"You too, you put this bow bag and quiver so conspicuously, who can't tell what you want to do?" Wu Lai turned around and glanced at Yanpi, raised his eyes slightly, stretched out his arm and pointed in the distance...
"Next one..." he muttered to himself.
In the observation tower, Helen's brows suddenly frowned.
"Who's going to the second round?" Her voice sounded like she was screaming...
When Wu Lai ran back to his position, Caesar came up to him with a smile. After taking a look at him, he untied the rope around Lippi's ankles, then lifted him upside down and threw him aside.
"Master, why did you bring him back?" Caesar asked curiously.
"According to Tianjuan's rules, corpses can also be taken as trophies." Wu Lai laughed and replied.
At the same time, the second combat general of the Tianjuan Army appeared under the observation tower.
His name was Luku, Lucullus, a man favored by heaven, from an ancient but not prominent family. At the age of thirty, he was known for his bravery and strength. He participated in battles in Red Valley Bay Fortress, Armenia, Titania and other places, and made numerous military achievements.
Compared with Lippi, Luku is obviously much calmer. At this moment, he is putting on full body armor with the help of his entourage - since the opponent is good at shooting, it is always good to do more protection.
After a while, Luku climbed onto the horse with the help of his followers. His armor was sturdy and almost completely covered his entire body, even his eyes were fully protected. This equipment was obviously not conducive to close combat - the field of vision of the eyes was very small and basically limited to the front.
Wearing such armor also restricted Luku's attack methods. After abandoning his agility, all he had left was to charge. If a charge didn't work, he would turn around and charge again...
But even a horse could not withstand such a load. According to Luku's own calculations, he only had three chances to charge. If three attempts failed, he would have to rein in his horse and fight with his opponent. But this was basically equivalent to passively taking a beating, because his opponent was obviously much more flexible than him and could easily find his flaws.
"I want to win." Luku let out a long breath and took the lance handed to him by the entourage. Compared with the one Lippi used before, his lance was longer, thicker and heavier, because the lance used by Lippi was a wooden pole, while his was made of copper.
The horse began to trot and speed up...
Wu Lai narrowed his eyes, placed the big knife he had just picked up on the saddle knife rack, and patted his horse...
"Master will win!" Caesar raised his arms and shouted. When he heard his shout, Wu Lai smiled and shook his head...
Although he had a smile on his face, Wu Lai was extremely cautious. In the previous round, he saw through the enemy general's thoughts and killed his opponent with his unparalleled agility and acting skills. In detail, his victory was also due to the enemy general's overconfidence and underestimation of the enemy.
But this time, the enemy general obviously would not make that mistake again, because judging from his armor and weapons, he was here for a head-on fight.
Wu Lai's arms are very strong, but he knows that in this world, there are many people who are stronger than him, such as Caesar, who is a good example. Therefore, Wu Lai has never been willing to base his victory on the use of his arm strength.
The opponent in the second round obviously had great confidence in his own strength, otherwise why would he wear such heavy armor and carry such a heavy lance? Wu Lai believed that if he were to engage in a power duel with the opponent, it would be like sending his head to the chopping block.
But today he really wanted to give it a try, to see if the other party had the guts to take his head - this sounded like a pointless risk...
But isn’t marching and fighting a risk in itself?
The two riders approached each other quickly. When they were still fifty steps apart, Luku raised his lance, and pointed the huge tip of the lance at the left side, while at the same time, Wu Lai raised his broadsword and pulled it back...
With a sharp "clang!" sound, Luku's lance was violently knocked away, and Wu Lai's broadsword bounced high up. His arms felt numb and his knuckles ached at the same time, and the sword almost flew out of his hand...
"Damn it, what did you eat to grow up!" Wu Lai couldn't help but spit, and he galloped a few dozen steps while spurring his horse, turned his horse's head, and rushed again...
Luku also turned his horse's head. If you take off his helmet at this moment, you will definitely find that his brows are furrowed and his eyes are full of surprise...
