Volume 1 Chapter 167 Also a Hero
Xian Yuqing cupped his hands and said, "This general's axe is a top-notch one that can be ranked among the best masters, and it even has a touch of the style of a master!"
"Looking at the enemy general's spearmanship, he is only at the level of an expert. If he were to fight me, I would be defeated." Xian Yuqing thought for a moment and stretched out three fingers, saying, "Within thirty moves, I can defeat the enemy general. Within fifty moves, I can take his head!"
In fact, in Xian Yuqing's heart, he also believed that he only needed three moves to split the enemy general in half, but the battlefield was not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom.
He couldn't let the marshal and his colleagues think that he was too powerful. Otherwise, on the one hand, he would be easily feared and envied by his colleagues and the marshal, which would affect his future career. On the other hand, he wanted to shoulder less hard work in the future and be a relaxed general.
After all, Marshal Guo Ziyi is the best at ordering people around. If anyone shows more skills in front of him, he will ask you to do all the big and small things in the future. At that time, you will be exhausted just by running errands every day, and you will not have any military achievements.
However, even though Xian Yuqing thought he had been very restrained and spoke very low-key, there were still several generals present who were disdainful and thought that Xian Yuqing was flattering himself.
General Liang Fei was such a person. He said sarcastically at this moment: "The last person who said such a big word has already died under the enemy's gun!"
"General Xianyu, if you say such things now, what will happen if you are defeated after the battle? It will be fine if you lose your life on the battlefield, and that's it!
But if you can't win and flee back in disgrace, weakening the momentum of the Black Witch Nation's million-strong army, that would be a grave sin!"
Upon hearing this, Xian Yuqing cursed angrily: "My Xianyu family's mountain-splitting axe technique is invincible in the world, how could we lose to that little brat!"
"On the contrary, General Liang, it would be fine if you didn't say anything about going to the battle, but you are still spreading rumors here. Be careful or I will chop you down with an axe before I go to the battle!"
Liang Fei was not a good-tempered guy either. Just because the weapon he used was a flying claw, he immediately retorted: "Humph, I will kill you with one claw first!"
"Alright!" Guo Ziyi, who was sitting on the main seat, rebuked the two men with a gloomy face, and then said to Xian Yuqing: "General Po Lu's words are not without reason. General Xianyu, you can go to war if you want, but you can only win and not lose. Do you understand?"
Xian Yuqing knew that he was trapped. Now that he had stood up, it was impossible for him to retreat and say that he would not fight. If he did so, he would surely be charged with dereliction of duty and cowardice.
But if we go to war and lose, the end will be death!
Although he was not afraid of the young general of the Great Sun Dynasty, he was naturally unhappy about being provoked into such a life-and-death situation by these guys.
Xian Yuqing cursed himself in his heart for being too eager for quick success and forgetting the principle of self-preservation when he saw the military achievements. Now he could only swallow this loss in silence.
So he snorted coldly, cupped his hands and said: "This general is willing to issue a military order. If we lose, I will kill myself on the spot and die as a token of my apology without the young general of the Great Sun Dynasty having to do anything!"
"Good!" Guo Ziyi nodded with satisfaction and praised: "General Xianyu has an extraordinary demeanor. Bring some wine!"
Two soldiers came over with a pot of warm wine. Guo Ziyi poured a cup himself, then walked over and handed it to Xian Yuqing, saying, "This Marshal gives this wine to give the general courage!"
Xian Yuqing laughed loudly upon hearing this and said, "You are just a young general, why do you need to warm up the wine to boost your courage? Just treat this wine as a celebration wine. It won't be too late to drink it when you come back. I am leaving now!"
After Xian Yuqing finished speaking, he turned and left without stopping. He took his own axe, mounted his warhorse, and rushed towards the battlefield ahead.
The war drums of the Black Witch Kingdom began to beat again. This time, both the sound and the frequency were much stronger than the first time, as if the general who was fighting this time was extremely powerful.
Jiang Yue couldn't help but frown slightly. The next moment, he saw a burly man holding a mountain-splitting axe rushing out from the Black Witch Kingdom army in front of him. He couldn't help but look up to him.
Jiang Yue gripped the spear tightly in his hand, ready to fight, with an invisible murderous aura emanating from his body. If there were someone next to Jiang Yue at this moment, they would find that the temperature around him had become extremely cold at this moment.
Xian Yuqing was also considered a martial arts master. Seeing the momentum of Jiang Yue, he did not dare to be careless. When he was 20 meters away from Jiang Yue, he stopped and asked, "Does the general have a name? This general will not kill nameless people!"
Jiang Yue was stunned. He didn't expect that this general was not as rude as the previous one. He smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "My surname is Jiang Yue, and I am the Cavalry General of the Great Sun Dynasty!"
Xian Yuqing raised his eyebrows. This person was a bit too big. He said in disbelief, "Do you think I'm easy to fool? A general of the second rank is good enough to be a marshal. How could I be a junior general in such a battle?"
"Besides, judging from your age, you are only in your early twenties, a second-rank general. In my opinion, you are at most a fifth-rank general!"
Xian Yuqing seemed to have discovered something incredible. He laughed and shouted, "You are so young and yet you are so ignorant. If you meet me on the battlefield today, you will never have the chance to become a second-rank general!"
After saying this, Xian Yuqing looked down on Jiang Yue again in his heart. He was so young and loved to brag, so he must not be a big shot and would never achieve anything great.
In this case, the master-like aura just now must have been an illusion. Look, this general will chop him off his horse with one axe!
After Xian Yuqing finished speaking, he spurred his horse to a gallop, raised his axe and charged towards Jiang Yue.
Seeing that the enemy general started fighting after talking nonsense for a few words, Jiang Yue stopped talking and only used the spear in his hand to speak.
Xian Yuqing came close to him. Jiang Yue focused his eyes, found the right opportunity and shot out. The tip of the gun went straight through Xian Yuqing's chest.
Jiang Yue attacked and left. He had just put away his gun and turned around when Xian Yuqing vomited blood and fell off his horse. He lay on the ground motionless. Even the axe in his hand fell behind him and hit the ground with a clang.
Only Xian Yuqing's warhorse seemed to be fine. It stood quietly by the side, and occasionally let out a low cry.
Jiang Yue frowned as he looked at his corpse and whispered, "I was indeed a fifth-rank before, but now I am indeed a second-rank. Although I am young, I am also a hero. In terms of kung fu, you cannot match me. It is your honor to die under this general's gun."
"Report~" A young general rushed over and reported: "Report to the Marshal, General Xianyu was knocked off his horse by the enemy general with just one shot, and he has disappeared from the world forever!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent. Guo Ziyi, who was holding the wine glass, was a little dazed. His body trembled slightly. He turned around without saying a word, and with trembling hands he put the wine glass to his mouth and drank it in one gulp.
The wine was still warm, spicy and dry.
Then Guo Ziyi angrily smashed the wine glass to the ground, took out a command arrow and threw it on the ground, without even looking at the generals, he said loudly: "Liang Fei, Zhao Qian, Gao Chengwu, listen to my orders!"
General Liang Fei, General Zhao Qian, and General Gao Chengwu, General Po Lie, felt something was wrong, but they all stood up and said, "I am here!"
Guo Ziyi turned around and shouted, "The three of you go into battle together and capture the young general of the Great Sun Dynasty for me. I will tie him to a beam and cut him into pieces, to humiliate him with blood!"
With three against one, the three generals felt better. Although they were extremely reluctant to fight, the military order was as heavy as a mountain and they had to obey.
Soon the war drums started beating again and the army dispersed. Liang Fei, Zhao Qian and Gao Chengwu rode out on their horses with their weapons in hand and surrounded Jiang Yue, intending to attack him together.
Liang Fei used a flying claw, Zhao Qian used a red tasseled spear, and Gao Chengwu used a pair of hammers, which could be used for long-range attacks, close combat, and heavy strikes.
Guo Ziyi and the other three all believed that this time, no matter how capable Jiang Yue was, he would not be able to escape!
Three against one, the three generals were very excited, but they didn't know that Jiang Yue, who was surrounded by them, was even more excited.
Just kidding, if I could kill all three of them, then the fighting spirit of the 300,000 troops behind me would reach a peak. At that time, if I attack in one fell swoop, the army of the Black Witch Kingdom will surely be defeated!
This time Jiang Yue took the initiative to speak: "With your strength, if you hadn't taken advantage of the weakness of the Great Sun Dynasty and sneaked in, you would never be able to cross the Great Sun Dynasty's territory for the rest of your lives!"
Jiang Yue thought so himself, because he killed two generals in a row relying entirely on his own fighting skills. He did not use any Taixu Qi at all, and did not even use any mysterious moves in the Taixu magic skills.
The strength of the Black Witch Kingdom was indeed much weaker than he had imagined.
"If the three of you dismount and surrender now, this general can still keep your bodies intact. Do you understand?" Jiang Yue scolded with a firm face.
"What a big tone you have!" Liang Fei couldn't stand this kind of provocation. His long claws were flying, and the next moment he reached for Jiang Yue's head!
His flying claws, not counting the rope, the iron claw alone is half a meter long. If an ordinary person were hit by it, this claw would be enough to grab his entire head tightly, and the sharp claw would enter his throat, causing serious injuries if not death.
Liang Fei's attack angle was very tricky. If Jiang Yue didn't dodge, he would die. If he dodged, then the warhorse under his crotch would have no chance of survival!
Jiang Yue's expression froze, and just as he was about to counterattack, Zhao Qian on his left also stabbed at him with a spear. Behind him, Gao Chengwu raised two hammers and hit him one after the other. The hammer at the back was specifically intended to prevent him from making a follow-up move.
Facing the siege of three masters, Jiang Yue did not dare to be careless. He spurred his horse and made himself move quickly so that he could use the power of the horse to turn around.
Fortunately, he made a decisive decision. He moved his position and turned his body to the side, and actually managed to avoid Liang Fei's flying claws!
Jiang Yue saw the right opportunity and immediately chopped down with his gun. The gun blade accurately chopped the rope of the flying claw. The huge force caused the rope to be pressed down slightly. It was obvious that the rope was very tough and difficult to cut.
But Jiang Yue's strength was greater, and the next moment the rope broke, and the flying claw fell to the ground. Liang Fei, who was far away, couldn't help but gasp when he saw this scene, and secretly thought of retreating.
Are you kidding? The rope of this flying claw is made of woven cowhide, and it contains extremely tough cow tendon as the inner core. The material is so tough that even if it is placed there and someone chops it with a kitchen knife, it cannot be cut, let alone chopped in half with a spear!
