Chapter 658: Three Excellent Female Generals (Part 2)
No one would have thought that Hu Qing'er, a female general who was fighting in a new army, would be so brave. Not only did she defeat the powerful general Cao Meng, but she also won consecutive battles. She used the elusive flying stones and flying knives to knock down the four generals including Wang Gui, Cao Xing, Yang Wenyi and Liu Qi who went out to fight. Among them, Cao Xing and Yang Wenyi were wrapped around their necks by a long whip. Under the pressure of the sharp whip blade, they had to abandon their weapons and admit defeat.
Hu Qing'er lost seven generals in a row and broke into the final decisive battle in one fell swoop.
According to the rules of the game, the final battle begins after an hour of rest. During this period, there is a ranking match of 3 to 10. Eight generals are divided into four groups of matches. After three rounds of matches, the ranking of 3 to 10 will be determined.
But the soldiers obviously have little interest in this qualifying match. Most of them go back to the camp to rest, and less than half of the soldiers were left on the field to continue watching the game.
In the big tent, Li Yanqing came to Cao Meng, looked at the knife wound on his arm and asked, "Did you hurt your muscles or bones?"
Cao Meng shook his head and said ashamed: "It's me wrong. Miss Hu has already shown mercy, but I refuse to admit defeat. Thinking about it now, it's really shameful!"
"It's because you didn't expect you to lose, right!"
Cao Meng said embarrassedly: "I still underestimated the enemy. I always feel that Miss Hu's flying stone cannot be put on the table, so I ended up humiliating myself."
"Actually, there is no problem if you just treat flying stones and flying stones as riding and shooting!"
Cao Meng's body shook and he immediately understood that flying stones and flying swords were indeed no different from riding and shooting in essence. He also understood the coach's meaning, which was to enlighten himself.
Cao Meng scratched his head and said, "I understand in my heart, but Miss Hu's flying stones and flying knives are much more powerful than riding and shooting. The riding speed is slower and the movements are obvious, but Miss Hu's attack is silent, which makes people unable to defend themselves. I feel ashamed of myself!"
Li Yanqing smiled and shook his head, "You don't have to underestimate yourself. In terms of martial arts, she is far inferior to you. Just like Luan Tingyu, the world's number one killer. Although he has excellent martial arts and kills people, he is not your opponent in the decisive battle on the battlefield. Sanniang is actually the same as Luan Tingyu. His martial arts are strange but not brave. If you fight alone, they have the upper hand. But if you are really in the army, their advantage will be gone. I understand in my heart!"
The coach's words restored Cao Meng's confidence. He bowed and bowed, "Thank you for your teachings in the commander, and I am open to my heart."
After appeaseing Cao Meng, Li Yanqing came to Hu Qing'er's tent again. He smiled at the door and said, "Qing'er, can I come in?"
Li Yanqing walked into the tent and saw Hu Qing'er sitting at the table wiping the flying knife. He also sat down opposite her and picked up a flying knife to take a closer look. The flying knife was specially made of fine steel, with a cold light and extremely sharp. The flying knife was about five inches long, of which three inches in the blade body, two inches in the handle, and about five taels in weight. It looks quite like a willow leaf, thin and long, which is extremely suitable for hands.
"How do you feel when Qing'er fights today?" Li Yanqing asked with a smile.
Hu Qing'er smiled sweetly, "Brother, don't worry! I don't have any pride, I understand in my heart! I'm not afraid of anyone fighting alone, but if I really compete on the battlefield, if more than a dozen enemies appear around me, I will definitely be done. Otherwise, I wouldn't have escaped so embarrassedly in Liangshanpo back then."
Li Yanqing nodded, "If you think this way, then I won't say much. I will recruit 500 female soldiers in the future, and I will give them to you. I know that you have led 800 female soldiers in Liangshan."
Hu Qing'er hesitated and said, "I have contact with some Liangshan sisters, why don't I call them all!"
“How many people are there?”
"There are about thirty-five people."
Li Yanqing was startled, "There are so many, don't they have families?"
Hu Qing'er shook her head, "They were all orphans. They were raised by King Chao since childhood. After the Liangshan Army was disbanded, they had nowhere to go, so they stayed in Liangshan to farm and fish for a living. Last year, the government banned fishing and hunting in Liangshan Pond. They had no livelihood, so they came to the capital to find me. I asked Xi Magpie for help and arranged them to work in Baoyanzhai."
"They have a home now. Are they willing to let them join the army again?"
Hu Qing'er sighed, "They have never had any identity since they were young. If Baoyanzhai had not taken it in and given them a bowl of rice, their fate would have been very miserable. They would have had a new identity when they joined the army. In a few years, I will have to settle down my worries. Moreover, they have practiced martial arts since childhood and are very skilled in martial arts. They are loyal to me. It would be a pity to stay in Baoyanzhai."
Li Yanqing suddenly remembered something and smiled at Hu Qing'er and said, "It happened that your elder sister told me a few days ago that she wanted to recruit ten female soldiers to serve as guards in the mansion. Why not just choose from you sisters!"
Hu Qing'er smiled and said, "Brother has been slower. My elder sister has already chosen it. My elder sister has picked twelve people. She should arrive at Jingzhao Mansion today or tomorrow."
Li Yanqing smiled bitterly and said to Hu Qing'er: "Then you write a letter as soon as possible and summon all the remaining subordinates!"
At this time, the sound of rumbling war drums sounded outside, and the final battle was about to begin. Li Yanqing nodded to Hu Qing'er and turned around and left the tent.
The martial arts field was filled with soldiers again, and 20,000 soldiers were crowded. Just now, the competition between the third and tenth places had ended. Cao Meng won the third place without any suspense, Liu Ya, the fourth place, Wang Gui, the sixth place, Gong Zuwen, the seventh place, Niu Gao, the eighth place, Cao Xing, the ninth place, Yang Wenyi, and the tenth place.
The last time was Han Shizhong third and Cao Meng second. This time, Han Shizhong was eliminated by Gao Chong and did not enter the top ten. The other list was basically the same as the previous time. Wang Gui transferred the position with Gong Zuwen in terms of ranking. Wang Gui performed well and fought Gong Zuwen for 40 rounds, and finally defeated Gong Zuwen and won fifth place. Niu Gao was defeated by Cao Meng, so he had the advantage in ranking and got the seventh place.
Although the ranking has been released, the soldiers are not interested. They are all waiting for the final ring challenge, with the young and beautiful new female general Hu Sanniang fighting against the Western Army's No. 1 brave general Gao Chong.
Although he had considered letting Qing'er lose this battle to maintain the reputation of the number one brave general of the Jingzhao Army, after thinking about it over and over again, Li Yanqing gave up. He was sure of Qing'er. The key was Gao Chong. Gao Chong has always been arrogant. If he knew that he had arranged for him to win a battle, it would be more uncomfortable than killing him. It would be better to let them compete fairly and convince them of their winning or losing.
‘Dong!Dong!Dong!’ The dense drum sounds sounded, and two war horses rushed out from both the east and west mouths at the same time, which immediately attracted cheers from everyone.
Gao Chong rode a strong white dragon horse. He wore a silver helmet and a mountain armor, a Suluo robe in his hand, and a golden dragon spear in his hand. He was big and thin, tall and handsome, and had a handsome face. When he ran, he flew over his head, like a god descending to earth, extremely majestic. He had many admirers in the army. When he came out, the entire martial arts performance venue was boiling.
Hu Qing'er is like a ball of fire, with a green robe, scales, embroidered tassels, and a long whip in her hand, and she secretly exudes murderous intent. Although she is petite, she is heroic and magnificent. In just one day, she has won the love of all the soldiers of the army. Everyone gave her a nickname called "Three Jue Fei General", which alludes to her flying stones, flying swords and long whip. Compared with her 1-zhangqing nickname in Liangshan, "Three Jue Fei General" is more imposing.
Although Gao Chong is known as the Western Army's Gun God, he witnessed Hu Qing'er's competition throughout the whole process. Although the opponent is too far from his martial arts, flying stones and flying knives are hard to defend against. This is not a life-and-death duel. If you suffer a loss, you can continue to kill. Basically, if you suffer a loss, you will be the winner. This is called a point. Under this rule, fighting alone may not be able to win by yourself. There is also some luck here so that Gao Chong dares not be careless at all.
However, Gao Chong was still confident. His weakness was that his strength was slightly inferior. It was a bit difficult to deal with a fierce general like Cao Meng, but he was not afraid of him. He was good at using skills.
Gao Chong waved his golden spear and shouted: "Miss Hu, please!"
Hu Qing'er said nothing, stroking his horse and running quickly. He raised his hand and hit a flying stone. This was a pathfinder. He touched Gao Chong's background. Gao Chong was calm and waved his spear and with a "bang!", the tip of the gun accurately knocked the flying stone out.
Gao Ming's shot made the soldiers around him cheer. Interestingly, the soldiers on both sides supported each other's competition, cheering for Gao Chong and Hu Qing'er.
Hu Qing'er was also secretly surprised that the other party could accurately knock her flying stone away. Although this was not the first time Hu Qing'er encountered it, she still put away her contempt. The last time the flying stone was hit was three days ago, and her brother shot her flying stone away with an arrow.
My brother is someone she admired since she was a child, and he taught the skills of flying stones. She was not surprised that her flying stones could be cut off, but the Gao Chong in front of her could actually hit the flying stones with the tip of a gun. This vision and feel still shocked Hu Qing'er.
But she just put aside her underestimation and did not want to admit defeat. On the contrary, Gao Chong's shooting skills inspired Hu Qing'er to be competitive.
She did not get close to Gao Chong, but ran around him, and five flying stones rushed to Gao Chong's various parts. The five flying stones that flew towards him really made Gao Chong nervous. Of course, he did not stand there waiting, but rode his horse to chase him and dodge the flying stones at the same time.
Gao Chong used a golden spear to drive three flying stones away. He turned his head and flashed. The fourth flying stone brushed his ears and passed by, and a burst of pain was heard in his ears, but the fifth flying stone did not escape and hit his left shoulder. At the same time, a burst of pain suddenly came from his right leg.
