Li Chenghuang is about thirty years old and started practicing martial arts at the age of ten. His marksmanship came from a captured Song general who was passed down by Yang Wenguang.
Speaking of which, Li Chenghuang's marksmanship is closely related to the Yang family's guns, but he is extremely talented and defeated the master who taught him within five years of learning guns.
He continued to visit famous masters in various places, blending the essence of various marksmanship into his own, and gradually formed his own style. When he was twenty-three years old, he defeated Yelu Dashi, the most powerful general in Liao, in Xijing, Liao. After a fierce battle, after thirty rounds, he stabbed Yelu Dashi's horse to death with one shot. Yelu Dashi fell off his horse and surrendered.
From then on, he became famous in Xixia, and was named a general of the second battalion of the Iron Kites by Emperor Li Qianshun. He won the first place in last year's Xixia tribe and army competition and became the unrivaled number one warrior.
However, the five personal guards around Li Qianshun, including Zhuo Baihao, did not participate in the competition, so Li Chenghuang's reputation as the number one warrior was still a bit low.
Today, Li Chenghuang did not wear the heavy armor of the Iron Kites, but wore a long chainmail armor with the edges covering his knees. He looked extremely slender.
"Who is coming?" Li Chenghuang pointed his iron gun at Yang Zaixing and asked.
"Your grandfather Yang Zaixing!"
Yang Zaixing was on the move and stabbed Li Chenghuang in the throat with a spear. The spear was so fast that he had already held his breath in his heart. He must overwhelm Gao Ding's carbine.
When Li Chenghuang heard that the other party was indeed Yang Zaixing, a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He turned his head and the tip of the gun grazed his neck. His big iron gun hit Yang Zaixing's waist fiercely. The master had told him The flaw in his Yang family's gun is at his waist. Using the gun as a whip, he can hit the opponent nine times out of ten.
Yang Zaixing was shocked. The opponent actually grabbed the soft spot of his waist. Yang's spear mainly relied on his waist to exert force. If his spear was not retracted, he would not be able to use his waist.
At the critical moment, he threw off the stirrup with his left foot and got into the horse's belly. If he fell off the horse, he would lose, but he imitated the Jurchens' move and stuck to the horse's belly. This was a new skill he learned last year when he practiced horse belly arrows. Move, I didn’t expect to use it at this critical moment today.
Li Chenghuang cleared the air with one shot and the two horses passed by each other, but he stabbed the hind leg of Yang Zaixing's horse with a backhand shot. If the shot hit, Yang Zaixing's horse would definitely fall to the ground with a fracture.
At this time, Yang Zaixing's Panlong golden spear swept through the air, and the two spear heads collided in the air. With a sound of "Dang!", Li Chenghuang's iron spear was swung away, and Yang Zaixing's horse galloped away.
Yang Zaixing turned over and returned to the saddle again. The previous round only happened at the moment when the rabbit rose and the falcon fell. Both sides completed it in one breath. One side attacked brilliantly, while the other side hid extremely strangely, especially the last one. The move of the spear and hammer was like a stroke of genius, averting a fatal blow.
Yang Zaixing calmed down for a moment, and took a deep look at the opponent. The dragon's golden spear stabbed at the opponent like a storm, and the opponent responded with attack, not losing the slightest.
Gao Ding sighed softly and said: "Yang Zaixing is a bit dangerous in this round."
Chen Qing frowned, "They seem to have similar shooting skills!"
"More than just similarities, they are exactly the same. The other party used Yang's gun. The hammer that Yang Zaixing threw before was the Hu's gun's unique move. It defeated the opponent's sure-kill shot. Otherwise, Yang Zaixing's war horse just now would be finished."
"But the two seem to be rivals, so why is Yang Zaixing in danger?"
Gao Ding smiled bitterly and said: "Yang Zaixing will not study the tricks on how to defeat the Yang family gun, but the opponent will study it. The move that used the gun as a whip to sweep Yang Zaixing just targeted the weakness of the Yang family gun. Yang Zaixing's martial arts should have been
Above the opponent, but the opponent knows his weaknesses, and over time he will be unable to defend against him."
"Will it be fatal?
“I don’t know what a humble job is!”
Chen Qing ducked behind the battlements and slowly raised his bow and arrow...
The two sides soon fought for fifty rounds. The drums of both sides were beating like thunder, and the soldiers were shouting like crazy. The two horses were staggered, and at the same time they stabbed the opponent's horse back with a spear. The moves of both sides were exactly the same.
"Crack!"
"puff!"
Yang Zaixing suddenly realized that he had been fooled. The opponent was prepared. The upper part of the horse's legs was covered with thick leather. This shot could hurt the war horse, but it could not penetrate the horse's legs. He was miserable.
Li Chenghuang's horse suffered flesh wounds but did not fall down, but the hind leg of Yang Zaixing's horse was pierced with a large iron spear.
The war horse screamed and fell to the ground, pressing Yang Zaixing underneath him.
Yang Zaixing lost this battle, but this was not a friendly match, it was a life-and-death duel. Li Chenghuang was overjoyed and galloped towards Yang Zaixing, stabbing him in the throat with a sharp shot.
Yang Zaixing tried his best to pull away, but it was too late. He had no choice but to sigh, close his eyes and wait for death.
At this critical moment, a spike arrow was shot from the top of the city. The speed was too fast. In an instant, it was in front of him. Li Chenghuang was shocked. He ignored Yang Zaixing and lowered his head suddenly. "Crack!" The arrow shot through his helmet.
.
The helmet flew away, revealing Li Chenghuang's bare head. At this time, Yang Zaixing had already pulled out, ran a few steps quickly, picked up the spear on the ground, and ran towards the city gate.
Li Chenghuang still wanted to catch up, but the second arrow came. This arrow hit the horse's leg. The horse neighed and fell to the ground. Li Chenghuang was thrown ten feet away. He had no chance to kill Yang Zaixing and could only watch helplessly.
He followed Yang Zaixing and ran into the city gate. He was so angry that he punched the ground hard.
The Xixia soldiers booed loudly and were extremely dissatisfied with the illegal shooting of arrows at the top of the city. The war drums were beating loudly.
Li Chenghuang came back and clasped his fists and said to Cao Baozong: "I'm humble enough to invite you to fight in the second battle. I must kill General Song with my own hands and vent the bad breath in my heart!"
Cao Baozong glanced at military advisor Li Taiyue. Li Taiyue nodded slowly. The victory in the first formation was due to an accident. He simply made slight adjustments and pushed Zhuo Baihao to the last formation, catching the Song army by surprise.
Seeing the military advisor nodding, Cao Baozong said happily: "Ready to fight!"
........
Yang Zaixing entered the city, knelt down on one knee and thanked Chen Qing: "Thank you, Du Tong, for saving your humble life in a critical moment!"
Chen Qing asked with concern: "Your leg was pinned down by the war horse, was it not injured?"
Yang Zaixing sighed and said with shame on his face: "There is nothing wrong with my legs, but I lost my humble position."
"You lost to the opponent's dirty trick. You clearly stabbed the horse in the leg, but the horse didn't fall down. What must be tied to the horse's leg?"
"It should have been tied with two layers of leather. The other party actually knows how to use the Yang family gun. It's really beyond my expectation."
"But have you thought of the reason?"
Yang Zaixing nodded, "It should be Wang Lei, the proud disciple of my uncle Yang Wenguang, the commander of the Western Army. He was captured by Xixia during the Zhenghe period. There is no more news. Only he can teach such a superb Yang family gun."
At this time, the soldier ran over and said: "That Li Chenghuang changed his horse and came to challenge again."
Yang Zaixing said anxiously: "Du Tong, will you give me another chance?"
Chen Qing looked at him and said, "Have you studied how to break the Yang family's gun?"
Yang Zaixing lowered his head and was speechless. How could he crack his family's marksmanship? That was disrespectful to his ancestors.
"So I will come for the second round!" Chen Qing said calmly.
Liu Cui and Niu Gao were shocked, "Du Tong, it should be us!"
Chen Qingdao: "The other party's request for a one-on-one challenge is indeed well-prepared, not a general accompanying the army. You are not Yang Zaixing's opponent, and naturally you are not Li Chenghuang's opponent. If we lose in the second formation, our morale will be greatly damaged. Except for me,
No one can get on it."
"Capital, let me come up!" Gao Ding stood up and said.
"Your current state is not as good as Liu Cui, let's do it next time!"
The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Don't fight anymore, we have all made up our minds, let him fight!"
Yang Zaixing saw that the governor had made up his mind and said, "I am willing to hold my bow and protect the governor!"
"Can!"
Chen Qing readily agreed, turned around and shouted: "Bring me my Fangtian Painted Halberd!"
