Let's talk about it when Chapter 1072 comes out.
Judging from the current battle situation, Xue Lin is being restrained at every turn, but he is not at a disadvantage. In this situation, he could be allowed to fight again, or the battle could be called back. However, Yuwen Ye ordered him to go down and assist in the battle.
Is it worth it for a mere Shi Yutao to go and help in the battle?
Seeing that Shen Tu Tai seemed hesitant, Yuwen Ye said, "Didn't you just say that Shi Yutao has a sister?"
Shen Tu Tai immediately understood: "Your Highness wants to lure Shi Yuxin out?"
"..."
Yuwen Ye remained silent, his gaze fixed on the neatly arrayed battle formation below the city wall. After a moment of silence, he said, "Let's talk about it after we can lure them out."
Upon hearing this, Shen Tu Tai seemed to realize something and turned to look down from the city wall. Just as they were talking, Xue Lin had already turned his horse around and exchanged several more blows with Shi Yutao. It was clear that in terms of combat strength and experience, he was no match for Shi Yutao. However, this kid had a bit of innate combat wisdom and was always able to turn the tide in critical moments.
He is indeed a promising talent.
Seeing that he was suppressed by Shi Yutao in several moves, Shen Tu Tai didn't have time to think too much and said in a low voice, "This subordinate will go down now."
After saying this, he strode down the city wall, leaped onto his warhorse, took the long spear handed to him by his subordinates, and galloped out of the city gate.
Outside, the fierce battle raged. Just as Shi Yutao swung his axe several times, almost bending the shaft of Xue Lin's spear, and the soldiers behind him cheered loudly, everyone suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing out from inside the city gate. A chilling aura rushed towards them, and they all subconsciously looked up ahead.
Shen Tu Tai, holding the reins in one hand and a long spear upside down in the other, rode his horse out of the city gate.
Seeing this, the soldiers behind Xue Lin immediately split into two lines, making way for him. After passing through the crowd, Shen Tu Tai slightly tightened the reins. His horse didn't stop, but only slowed down to face the battle ahead. At that moment, Shi Yutao was pressing his battle axe against Xue Lin's spear. Although his entire focus was on his hand, he seemed to sense something in that instant. He quickly glanced up, and the fierce expression on his face immediately changed.
He had never met Shen Tu Tai before, but he immediately realized that the person in front of him was Shen Tu Tai.
He was someone Xiao Yuansui had been looking forward to meeting and challenging ever since they joined his team.
But no one knew that this anticipation also carried a hint of fear.
At this moment, just looking at the man with a burly figure like a black iron tower, even before he got close, an invisible sense of oppression rushed towards him with the wind. Shi Yutao's breath hitched involuntarily, and his hand movements froze for a moment. Taking advantage of this gap, Xue Lin immediately pushed his axe away with all his might and thrust his spear at him again.
Shi Yutao calmly swung his axe, deflecting the spear with a clang, and then spurred his horse back two steps.
Xue Lin also hurriedly pulled on the reins and took two steps back.
He also saw Shen Tu Tai and immediately said, "General Shen Tu..."
Shen Tu Tai didn't speak, only slightly raising his chin at him. The soldiers behind them had fought alongside Shen Tu Tai all the way here, and naturally knew that the appearance of this valiant and invincible general meant victory in every battle. Moreover, they could tell at a glance that Shi Yutao intended to avoid combat, so they immediately shouted loudly—
"Come on, everyone, come quick!"
"Why don't you dare?"
"Hahaha, you coward, hurry up and tuck your tail between your legs and go back."
The soldiers on the other side, who had initially held the upper hand, suddenly became somewhat disheartened upon seeing Shen Tu Tai appear and Shi Yutao retreat. Few of them uttered a sound. Seeing this, Shi Yutao felt his blood boil and spurred his horse forward a couple of steps. Looking at Xue Lin and Shen Tu Tai ahead, he sneered, "What, are you going to play this game of attrition? I'll play along!"
Several of his personal guards immediately stepped forward: "General!"
Shi Yutao interrupted them with a wave of his hand, glaring angrily at Shen Tu Tai. Before he even made a move, his eyes were already bloodshot and red: "Come on!"
Compared to his opponent's aggressive stance, Shen Tu Tai appeared remarkably calm. He smiled faintly and said, "I'm here to support my brothers, not to wage a war of attrition. But if you truly wish to fight me, that's not out of the question. However—"
After saying that, he looked up at what was behind Shi Yutao.
Behind that neatly lined-up group, who knows who else is there? Yuwen Ye just said, "Let's talk about it after we can lure them out." But can we really lure them out?
Sensing that the other person's gaze wasn't on him, Shi Yutao frowned deeply: "Just what?"
Shen Tu Tai then looked him over again, his gaze indifferent, almost as if he were checking if a child's clothes were neat. He then shook his head and smiled, "You should go back. I don't kill nameless generals."
After saying that, he waved his hand and led Xue Lin to turn their horses around and head back.
Shi Yutao's eyes turned bloodshot in an instant.
These were the words he had just spoken to Xue Lin, and he hadn't expected them to come back to haunt him so quickly. Although he was quite famous in Hebei, compared to the world-renowned Shen Tu Tai, his reputation was nothing, especially this time—
With a surge of adrenaline, Shi Yutao suddenly jerked the reins: "Giddy up!"
Immediately, his steed charged forward like an arrow released from a bow, and he swung his Xuanhua axe high, bringing it down heavily on Shen Tu Tai's back with the force of a thunderbolt.
"ah!"
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. The moment he heard his voice, Xue Lin turned around in a panic and saw the huge axe coming down on him. He was so shocked that his eyes widened in horror!
Oh no!
Just as he was filled with terror, he suddenly saw a flash of cold light in front of him!
With a clang, Shen Tu Tai, without turning his head, raised his right hand and swung his long spear backward. It seemed like a light swing, but it was an effortless one, and he deftly deflected Shi Yutao's powerful axe strike.
As he swayed, Shi Yutao's body on horseback also swayed. But he was unwilling to give up. He hurriedly used his axe to brace himself against the ground and forcefully pushed his body back into place. He then immediately swung his long axe horizontally, trying to cut off Shen Tu Tai's head.
Shen Tu Tai still didn't turn around. In the midst of that swing, he switched the long spear to his other hand, bending his left hand behind his back and holding the spear upright on the right side of his spine. With a twist of his wrist, he managed to block Shi Yutao's axe blow aimed at his neck.
Shi Yutao was both anxious and furious, and he thrust the axe forward, intending to strike the back of Shi Yutao's head with it.
Although it is said that war is based on deception and tactics, using this move is already a poor choice.
Shen Tu Tai finally turned around, and with a flick of his long spear, he directly blocked Shi Yutao's battle axe. Shi Yutao was shocked and tried to pull the axe back, but he felt that the long axe in his hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds. No matter how he twisted and struggled, Shen Tu Tai remained unmoved and even used a little force to pull him forward with the axe!
Oh no!
Feeling that he was about to be forcibly pulled off his horse, Shi Yutao's face turned pale, and the soldiers behind him panicked and immediately shouted and rushed forward.
Just then, a sharp sound suddenly rang out in the air!
