Before Xu hour came, a continuous sound of horns finally came from the distance, and the emperor Zhao Gou finally arrived.
Not only the emperor Zhao Gou, but also the prime minister Lu Yihao, deputy prime ministers Fan Zongyin, Qin Hui and Zhao Ding, as well as more than 30 important ministers, and a large group of officials came in vehicles.
The school grounds were brightly lit, shining like daylight, and the two armies lined up quietly to wait.
What is interesting is that the deployment of the two armies is exactly the same. They are both composed of 300 spearmen and 200 swords and shields. There are ten men per fire, and each fire has six spearmen and four swords and shields.
Once a combat team is formed in this way, it means giving up group combat, and both sides will have to fight as scattered soldiers.
In the opposite camp, Zhang Xian shouted loudly, and the five hundred soldiers suddenly became murderous.
When Chen Qing waved his halberd, it was as if he pressed a switch. His five hundred soldiers were like a black panther that had encountered its prey, instantly filled with murderous intent and ready to attack.
On the high platform, Zhao Gou looked at the two armies with great interest. Although he preferred Yang Xizhong's army, which was as quiet as a deep pool, he always needed soldiers to defend the country for him!
He was very satisfied with both armies, and he could feel the murderous intent in them.
"Li Aiqing, let's start!"
Li Hui waved his hand quickly, and the war drums sounded immediately, 'Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!'
Zhang Xian waved his gun and shouted: "Kill them, sons and daughters!"
"Kill!"
The soldiers of the Five Hundred Yue Fei Army shouted and ran forward, like an indomitable ocean wave, killing their opponents a hundred steps away.
Chen Qing was unusually calm. He and the five hundred soldiers looked like a cheetah about to leap up, but also like a rock that had been sitting firmly for hundreds of millions of years. They looked coldly at the approaching enemy troops, unmoved at all.
Zhao Gou's eyes narrowed, full of admiration. He suddenly liked Chen Qing's calmness despite the collapse of the mountain. This is a handsome man who can stand alone.
Prime Minister Lu Yihao glanced at Zhao Gou out of the corner of his eye. He felt the unconcealable admiration in the official's eyes. His heart moved. This admiration must not be directed at Yue Fei's army. It must be Chen Qing, admiring his calmness.
'I didn't expect the officials to value him so much!' Lu Yihao thought to himself, and his heart quickly became active.
At this time, Yue Fei, who was standing below watching the battle, suddenly became worried. He realized that he still underestimated this Chen Qing.
"Zhang Xian, Wang Gui, you have to hold still!" Yue Fei was worried.
The school grounds are still moving and still, moving like thunder and quiet like Mount Tai.
At this time, Chen Qing's army had reached its maximum strength, and the time was ripe. Chen Qing suddenly waved his halberd, and two words came out coldly from his lips, "Attack!"
"Kill!"
Hu Yantong roared, and the Western Army, which had been fully prepared, suddenly launched into action. They were like Mount Tai collapsing, and the huge energy accumulated by the five hundred soldiers exploded.
"Kill--"
Five hundred soldiers shouted in unison and rushed out in an instant. After running twenty steps, they suddenly collided with Yue Fei's army. Dozens of soldiers screamed and were knocked into the air. The momentum was so fierce that the emperor and ministers in the stands became confused.
His face changed.
This isn't a competition, it's clearly a battlefield.
The formation of Zhang Xian's army was slightly stretched, and suffered heavy losses due to the violent collision. Most of the dozens of soldiers who were knocked away were his men.
The Western Army's momentum was extremely powerful and instantly overwhelmed the Shenwu Army.
Once the Western Army has the upper hand, they will no longer give their opponents a chance to breathe. They are good at night fighting, have an extremely stable base, have abundant physical strength, and use their tactics to the fullest. These little advantages add up to form a huge advantage.
, firmly controlled the battlefield situation,
Although Yue Fei's army resisted desperately and tried to restore the passive situation, they were just a little bit close and could not break through.
Yue Fei passed the time like a year and was in great torment. At this moment, the bell rang for the end of the first half, and Yue Fei breathed a long sigh of relief.
This is Chen Qing's suggestion. The weapons of both sides need to be filled with white lime, otherwise the second half of the competition will be meaningless.
Officials came forward to count the soldiers on both sides who had been chopped and stabbed. The game was indeed brutal, and many soldiers on both sides were really injured.
Thirty-eight to eighty-nine, Yue Fei's army was obviously suppressed in the first half, but the battle situation was not too miserable, and the number of soldiers did not exceed 100 in the end, which left a glimmer of hope for Yue Fei.
Zhao Gou smiled and asked Li Hui: "Does Li Aiqing think the Shenwu Army still has a chance to save it?"
Li Hui smiled bitterly and said: "Reporting to your Majesty, the two sides should be evenly matched in terms of strength, but Wei Chen found that the Western Army was better at night fighting and had better resilience. These subtle advantages gave them the upper hand, and now they also have the advantage in terms of military strength.
, the odds of winning are already very high, and there are only two possibilities for the Shenwu Army to make a comeback."
"Which two possibilities are there?" Zhao Gou asked with great interest.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the first hope is that the Western Army will make a major mistake, such as lack of physical strength. However, judging from the running results, the Western Army has sufficient physical strength. The commander Chen Qing is very calm and commanded well. Wei Chen probably made a major mistake.
is unlikely.
The second possibility is that the Shenwu Army comes up with a surprise force, for example, if the generals fight against each other and Zhang Xian defeats Chen Qing, then they can turn defeat into victory."
Li looked back at Yue Fei who was explaining tactics to Zhang Xian. He estimated that the other party was talking about this matter.
At this time, Qin Hui asked: "May I ask, Privy Councilor, if the Shenwu Army deliberately shows weakness and lures the enemy deeper, will there be a turn for the better?"
Li Hui shook his head and smiled: "Qin Xianggong doesn't know. If the time is long, they may be able to set up a physical trap, but the second half can only last for a quarter of an hour. It's too late. If they show weakness, not only will there be no chance of backlash, but they will fall into eternal disaster.
.”
Fan Zongyin snorted sourly, "He's just a martial artist. When he actually goes to the battlefield, he needs civilian officials to lead him."
Lu Yihao smiled slightly and said: "This Chen Qing is good at both civil and military affairs. He has the temperament of a Confucian general. I think he can stand alone."
Lu Yihao's words at the critical moment touched Zhao Gou's heart. Zhao Gou said lightly: "The writing is indeed good!"
The second half of the game began, and everyone's attention was focused on the school field again.
At the beginning of the second half, both sides went all out without any signs of adopting strategies. Both sides knew very well that in the face of strong strength, any strategy was meaningless and would only make them completely passive.
Even Wang Gui's proposal to use group tactics was rejected by Yue Fei. Although group tactics could reduce the casualties of soldiers, they were also unable to annihilate the opponent with the opponent's flexible tactics, and they only dragged the first half's defeat to the end.
The Western Army attacked even more fiercely, which was completely a continuation of the first half of the game. The more they fought, the more courageous they became. With their advantage in night fighting, they gradually suppressed the Shenwu Army and once again gained the upper hand.
Zhao Gou shook his head and replied to Li with a smile: "The competition still depends on strength. It seems that the Shenwu Army will not turn around again."
Li Hui looked at the school field and smiled and said: "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I feel that the Shenwu Army is about to make a surprise attack."
"Oh?" Zhao Gou's eyes lit up and he looked towards the school grounds again.
On the school field, Zhang Xian, the leader of the Shenwu Army, was very anxious. The opponent not only cooperated tacitly, but also had very strong soldiers. They were good at night fighting, had abundant physical strength, and were extremely stable. They could not break through the opponent's formation after several attacks, but instead caused heavy losses to their own army.
Now they only had one chance to turn defeat into victory. Zhang Xian urged his horse and rushed towards the enemy general with a golden gun in hand.
The one-on-one duel between generals has always attracted attention. This is also a special rule in actual combat matches. If one leader can overturn the opponent's general and lose his horse, the competition will end immediately. The side with the defeated leader will lose the entire game, even if his army has the upper hand.
.
Zhang Xian is known as the most powerful general under Yue Fei. He holds a tiger-head chisel gold spear and has fierce and sharp moves. In the fierce battle to put down the rebel bandit Li Cheng, he once defeated twelve bandit generals.
Precisely because the rules included a one-on-one duel between generals, Yue Fei thought twice before choosing Zhang Xian, who was highly skilled in martial arts, as the new general, instead of Wang Gui. Winning duel duel was limited to the main general.
Zhang Xian's eyes had long been locked on Chen Qing. He bypassed the formation of the two armies and ran towards Chen Qing from the side.
Liu Qiong saw it from a distance and shouted: "Commander, the enemy's general is here!"
Chen Qing also saw Zhang Xian rushing towards him in the darkness. He waved his halberd and laughed, "General Zhang, have you lost your confidence so quickly?"
Zhang Xian didn't answer. He twisted the gun with both hands and shook it. The tip of the gun immediately turned into a sky full of golden flowers and stabbed Chen Qing.
When Chen Qing saw that the opponent was coming with a fierce force, he calmly waved his halberd, "Dang!" There was a crisp sound, the golden flowers disappeared all over the sky, and the tip of the spear was accurately knocked open by the halberd blade. This shocked Zhang Xian. Of course he
You know that it is impossible for the other party to see through the dozens of false gun heads you have shaken out, but the other party knows where your real gun heads are?
This means that no matter how many feints you use, you can turn a blind eye to the opponent, and you will be in trouble.
Zhang Xian suddenly had a big head and was able to kill Wanyan Lou's general. He had indeed met a powerful enemy.
He reacted very quickly and stabbed Chen Qing's horse in the head with a shot. The shot was fast and hard. The rule was to win by knocking the enemy general to the ground. But this was a competition, not a battlefield, and he couldn't really assassinate.
Opponent, then attacking the war horse is the best choice.
Chen Qing had already expected this move, and before the opponent could use it, he pushed his horse with both legs, and the horse accelerated instantly. Zhang Xian stabbed the air with his spear. He was horrified. At this time, his back was empty and a hole appeared.
.
Unexpectedly, the opponent did not grab his back, but instead the two horses passed each other. Zhang Xian was slightly relieved. At this moment, his horse suddenly neighed and fell to the ground. Zhang Xian was also overturned.
land.
When the two horses were crossing each other just now, Chen Qing did not grab Zhang Xian's waist just to divert his attention and relax his defense.
Just when Zhang Xian was lucky to have escaped the loophole in his back, he temporarily ignored the safety of his horse. Chen Qing seized this opportunity and slashed back with a halberd. The crescent halberd blade accurately chopped off the hind legs of Zhang Xian's horse.
‘Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!’ The rapid bell rang, and the game was over.
