Zhao Qian, who was sitting in the carriage, heard the noise outside, and her heart flew into the sky. Her brother Zhao Qian quietly told her before she set off that Ji Jie would be waiting for her near Xingcheng.
But the personal maid reported back that the Qin army surrounding them was several times larger than theirs.
The little girl almost jumped out of the carriage. How could it be Qin Jun?
After thinking about it, she understood. She sat happily in the carriage and said to herself: "Brother Jie just won a victory and must have captured a lot of Qin army equipment. The Qin army is fighting against Chu. How could he be so stupid?"
How about provoking Zhao and South Korea at this critical moment!"
…
Zhao and Qin have been at odds since the Changping War. Wu Rong knew that these vicious "Qin soldiers" would not give up until they achieved their goals. They came for Princess Qian, which meant that they only needed to hand over the princess.
With the accompanying dowry, he, a thousand-year-old man, can escape disaster.
But in this case, King Zhao will definitely not be able to spare him, and will at least be sentenced to beheading.
Either way, he would die, and at worst, he would die in battle. If he died in battle, he could always leave a good reputation for loyalty and bravery, so as not to harm his family members who stayed in Zhao. Wu Rong secretly made up his mind and slowly pulled out the two-handed sword hanging at his waist.
According to the characters of the two brothers Xiong Ba and Xiong Ben, they would not talk so much nonsense to Wu Rong, and they would just give him a heavy chop. Ji Jie told them not to do anything if they could, and even if they had to do it, they would try to kill as few people as possible. After all,
Most of the palace maids and eunuchs are familiar with Zhao Qian. Killing people in front of her will cause a certain psychological shadow on her.
Besides, Prince Zhao Qian will eventually take the throne of King Zhao, but he sincerely admits that Ji Jie, his brother-in-law, kills Zhao people and is equivalent to killing his mother's family, which is somewhat unjustifiable.
The reason why Ji Jie didn't come forward was simple, because Wu Rong knew him, and as soon as he came forward, the identities of his men would be revealed.
"It seems that General Wu Rong has made a choice, so we won't be polite to you!" Xiong Ba waved his hand, and two thousand men raised their crossbows at the same time, aiming at the Zhao people.
The distance between the soldiers on both sides is less than twenty meters. This is the optimal distance for the crossbow arrows to exert their lethality. Even if they can only shoot one round of arrow rain, it is enough for Zhao people to drink a pot. On average, there are two arrows per person. Who dares to guarantee their own
Any luck not getting shot?
Wu Rong looked back at his somewhat panicked subordinates. Most of Tingwei were infantrymen. Although they all rode horses, it did not mean how good the horse fighting skills were. The most important thing was that they forgot to issue knight shields when they set off. Now it is revealed that
Under the crossbows of the "Qin Army", they were simply a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Wu Rong was very loyal to King Zhao. At the same time, he also knew how to judge the situation. As far as the situation on both sides was concerned, he and his men had no chance of winning.
"I want to challenge you!" Wu Rong pointed at the two brothers Xiong Ba and Xiong Ben with his long sword, and said loudly: "It is absolutely impossible for me, Wu Rong, to surrender! But I don't want to see my brothers die either.
, as long as you can defeat this sword in my hand, you can take away Wu’s head, but please let my men go!"
Xiong Ba nodded and said: "General Commander Wu is very loyal. I promise you not to embarrass your subordinates, but whoever dares to stop us from taking away the princess will only die!"
"Brother, I'll meet him!" Xiong Ben asked for a fight.
Xiong Ba agreed, and Xiong Ben rushed towards him. The giant ax was like a toy in his hand. Wu Rong came forward and asked at the same time: "What is your name, general?"
"Xiong..." Xiong Ben almost blurted out, and suddenly remembered what Ji Jie told him before leaving - his identity must not be revealed. He quickly changed his words and said: "You don't need to know my name. When you see the Lord of Hell,
, just tell the old man that you were killed by Qin people!"
"When..." The giant ax collided with the two-handed sword, and sparks shot out.
Wu Rong thought in his heart that this guy is so strong. I have used ten of my strength, but I couldn't take advantage. Instead, I was shocked to the point of numbness! And what kind of material is his ax made of? My sword was also damaged.
A gap was made, but his ax was unscathed.
"Come again!" Xiong Bi turned the horse's head and the two started the second round.
Xiong Bi fought with Ji Jie for several times, but every time his opponent could not compare with him in terms of strength, and each time the fight was not satisfactory. Wu Rong was very strong, and finally found a strong opponent. Can he not
Are you happy?
For six consecutive rounds, the two were evenly matched, with no one taking advantage or losing.
In the seventh round, the two of them reached the same point. They no longer used the impact of their horses, but began to fight hand-to-hand. The shadows of axes and swords flew up and down.
In a small forest not far away, Ji Jie was sitting on a horse, watching the fierce fight between the two through the telescope, and said to himself: "The third child is getting better and better at fighting. I don't think I was even Wu Rong's opponent at the beginning."
Well, this kid actually fought him for more than a dozen moves without falling behind at all. If you take the time to teach him a few more moves, he will definitely be a qualified pioneer officer in the future!"
Thirty moves, forty moves, fifty moves...
After sixty moves, Wu Rong slowly gained the advantage with his exquisite swordsmanship. Xiong Ben gritted his teeth and wished he could split him in half with an axe.
"Bad! Bad!" Ji Jie slapped his thigh and said: "The third child is still young. He can't hold his breath so much. Don't worry. You will definitely win after a hundred moves steadily! But now it seems
, seems to be about to lose!"
Sure enough, Wu Rong ducked quickly and stretched out his arm to stab with a sword.
The sword smoothly passed through Xiong Ben's defense and stabbed into his right rib, which was the weak point of the armor.
Xiong Ben quickly turned around, but was still stabbed more than an inch deep into his body by the opponent's sword. Although his muscles and bones were not injured, he was still bleeding profusely.
"MD!" Xiong Ben swung an ax and quickly retreated.
"Third brother, step back, I'll meet him!" Seeing that his younger brother was injured, Xiong Ba immediately rushed to rescue him.
The imperial guards cheered together and applauded Wurong.
"Wurong, if you hurt my brother, I will pay you back ten times as much!" Xiong Ba struck Wurong with an axe.
Wu Rong quickly raised his long sword to block, "Dang, Dang, Dang..." with three axes in a row. He thought to himself why these two people were so strong, and they both used fierce attack and fierce fighting methods.
"Crack!"
Inadvertently, Wu Rong's two-handed sword was cut into two pieces. He quickly turned his horse and ran back to the main formation. His men who had the dexterity to pull out their own weapons and throw them over.
Xiong Ba slapped his horse in pursuit, and the two of them fought to the same place again.
"First, Xiong Bi consumed a lot of physical energy. This kid Wu Rong should be no match for Xiong Ba!" Ji Jie made a judgment. If he goes long and adds thirty more moves, Wu Rong will be defeated.
But just after ten moves, a sudden change occurred!
