Chapter 402: Single Duel

"Report - the vanguard army was defeated by the bandits and all of them have been killed!"

"Report - the first batch of archers suffered heavy casualties!"

"Report--"

In the Xichuan Army, urgent reports were heard one after another, and the generals were terrified.

They originally thought that with their sophisticated equipment and weapons, and well-trained soldiers, it would be easy to defeat the mob of the Green Forest Alliance.

Even though there are poisonous miasma here, it is not a difficult task for them who have been dealing with the Green Forest Alliance for many years.

"Waste, a bunch of waste!" He Ming, the eldest son of He Wenjun, threw the cup in anger. "It is said that it takes a thousand days to train an army and only a day to deploy it. But you can't even deal with a bunch of bandits, what's the point of keeping you!"

This statement attracted many dissatisfied voices, "General He is really talking without any pain in his waist. If you go to the front line and take a look, you will know that the current Green Forest Alliance is no longer the Green Forest Alliance of the past."

"Yes, those bandits were well-controlled in their advance and retreat, and followed orders. They took advantage of the terrain and traps on the mountain and caught people off guard. It's obvious that there is a master behind them!"

"Especially the leader in black, who has extraordinary martial arts skills. He fought one against a hundred with a single spear, and he prevented the Xichuan Army from making any further progress!"

According to the spies on the mountain, the leader in black was the one who defeated the three leaders and took over the Green Forest Alliance.

They originally thought that the opponent was at most a martial arts master with great martial arts skills, but they did not expect that the opponent was even more powerful in military strategy.

It was because of their contempt for the enemy that they suffered heavy casualties in this night attack.

He Ming sneered and said indifferently, "Oh, if you say that, then he is invincible? Then why doesn't he join the army and become a general? Why is he running around in a thief's den? If he is useless, then he is useless. Why is he making so many excuses? Come on, count the troops, and I will go to meet that guy in person!"

the other side.

After repelling the first wave of Xichuan troops, Wen Yan immediately reported the situation to Xiao Jinxuan: "A total of 132 people were injured, 11 died, more than 90% of the traps were destroyed, and all the sentries were paralyzed. It will take at least one night to recover."

Of course, the casualties on the Xichuan Army's side were far greater than theirs.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan nodded and ordered people to send the injured up the mountain for treatment and to send more personnel to strengthen the defense here.

I'm afraid that the Xichuan Army will not give up after suffering such a huge loss, and will surely gather troops and make a comeback soon.

As he expected, not long after, Feiyunwei scouts brought news - the Xichuan Army climbed the mountain again!

Xiao Jinxuan immediately gave Wen Yan some instructions, "You will lead a group of soldiers to split into two groups and cooperate with me in guerrilla warfare."

Wen Yan nodded to show that he understood and went to do it immediately.

Xiao Jinxuan led his men to guard the intersection, waiting for the Xichuan Army to go up the mountain.

Soon, the main force of the Xichuan Army arrived at the foot of the mountain.

A young general on horseback came out with a meteor hammer in his hand and shouted at Xiao Jinxuan, "Hey, dare you come out and fight me?"

Xiao Jinxuan raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise, "You want to fight me in a one-on-one duel?"

He Ming raised his chin and looked at him.

The shadows of the trees in the woods were so dark that it was difficult to see the face clearly.

But he was only wearing a piece of soft armor, and the weapons in his hands were spears and halberds seized from the Xichuan Army. He didn't have three heads and six arms, so how did they make him look like that?

He Ming raised his eyebrows and said, "That's right, you dare not!"

Xiao Jinxuan asked: "What if you lose?"

"If I lose, we will retreat immediately! If I win, you must immediately have my father brought out in a sedan chair, and you must also tie a dog chain around your neck and crawl over to acknowledge me as your master!"

He Ming knew that many commanders in the Xichuan Army did not obey him. If he did not make some achievements this time,

I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to gain a foothold in the Xichuan Army.

So he must rescue his father and win the support of his father and his close confidants.

Xiao Jinxuan was delighted. He never expected that such a good thing could happen.

What they wanted now was not to win, but to delay time while minimizing casualties and wait for Yang Lie to arrive with the Nanyang Army.

Therefore, He Ming's proposal was like pie in the sky to them.

"If you want to fight, then let's fight. Why are you afraid?" Xiao Jinxuan pointed his spear, and a silver light was drawn in the night. "Just come over!"

In order to show fairness, He Ming simply abandoned his horse and fell to the ground.

A pair of meteor hammers collided with each other, sparks flew everywhere, and it was full of violence.

"court death!"

He gritted his teeth, yelled, and struck him head-on with full force.

Xiao Jinxuan leaned sideways to avoid the attack, raised his leg, and kicked He Ming right in the chin.

He spat out a mouthful of blood through his teeth; his jaw was kicked crooked.

What's worse is that he was dizzy from the kick, and the meteor hammer in his hand slipped out of his hand and hit him directly on the back of his foot.

He grimaced in pain and tried to wail, but the wail pulled his crooked jaw, making his face look grim.

"Ouch... Oh wow... Hoo... Woo... "

The sound of ghosts howling and wolves howling sounded weird and pervasive.

There were even wild wolves in the mountains who thought they had encountered a fellow wolf and howled twice in response.

All the Xichuan army generals' faces turned pale.

As long as they have a few exchanges of moves, they will accept the defeat.

But the other party didn't even move his weapon or use any of his moves, yet they lost so miserably. This is not the most humiliating way to lose face!

Xiao Jinxuan looked at He Ming and couldn't help but frowning, revealing a bit of confusion.

He originally thought that since He Ming was the son of He Wenjun and dared to take the initiative to go up the mountain to challenge, he must be a good martial artist.

So when he made his move, he decided to use only 30% of his strength to test the depth first.

Unexpectedly, He Ming was even weaker than he imagined!

"Young General He, do you still want to compete?" Xiao Jinxuan lowered his eyes to look at him and asked.

He Ming's face turned red with embarrassment. He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of so many people, so he stood up again and said, "Compete!"

Xiao Jinxuan nodded slightly, "I didn't expect that although you are not very good at martial arts, you still have some backbone."

Considering how strong his character was, Xiao Jinxuan put a little more strength into his second kick than he did in his first.

This kick directly kicked He Ming into the sky, and then he fell heavily down, raising a cloud of dust.

Xiao Jinxuan asked again, "Do you still want to compete?"

"Compare……"

So this time, Xiao Jinxuan used his weapon with great respect for his opponent. He shot straight through He Ming's shoulder and hung him in mid-air.

It was not until this moment that He Ming's second half of the sentence came out slowly, "... that's all..."

Xiao Jinxuan was stunned: "Sorry, please speak faster next time."

He Ming wanted to cry but had no tears: "..."

Why don't you give me a chance to speak!

Since his opponent admitted defeat, Xiao Jinxuan put away his gun and let him go.

The Xichuan Army rushed forward and helped him over.

Xiao Jinxuan raised his eyes and scanned them. "Since you have admitted defeat, isn't it time to withdraw the troops?"

He Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat!"

The army came in high spirits and ran away in disgrace.

He Ming had already foreseen how much contempt and ridicule he would face when he returned.

Halfway through the journey, he became angrier and angrier, and suddenly his face showed a bit of viciousness, "Since we can't attack the mountain, then let's not attack. They won't let us go up, so let's not let them come down. Come on, dig up all the roads down the mountain, I want to trap them to death up there!"

The subordinates were shocked when they heard this, "But our general is still up there. What if we offend them and they take action against the general?"

He Ming disagreed. "There is limited food and supplies in the mountains. If we trap them for a while, they will run out of steam and will naturally hand over my father to negotiate with us."
