Chapter 143: Flying Stone Shows Its Prestige (Part 1)
It was already the beginning of August, the cool breeze was coming at the beginning of autumn, and the weather was turning from hot to cold.
Although it is already a little chilly, Zhang Qing's heart is full of enthusiasm, and he will make great achievements today.
After the Liao-Song Chanyuan Alliance, there were no major wars in Hebei. Civil servants could test their political performance for promotion, but their generals had difficulty in promotion without military merit. After they were trained in regiments, it was difficult to make progress.
You can only serve in one place for three years and then move to another place to continue serving as a regimental commander.
There is no war in the border area, so we can only rely on killing some grass bandits and bandits in the territory. However, Dongchang Mansion only has a few bandits, and killing them all is not enough to promote him. The Liangshan bandits are giants that the court has failed to arrest several times.
Bandits, if he can wipe out the Liangshan bandits, he will not only receive a reward from the court, but also let everyone in the world know his name Zhang Qing.
A scout horse flew over to report: "Report, there are Liangshan soldiers and horses blocking the road ahead."
Zhang Qing didn't expect that he was still more than thirty miles away from Gaotang Prefecture, so he bumped into Liangshan soldiers and horses and said: "How many people and horses are there?"
"I'm afraid there are no less than 3,000 people, and the horse army seems to be more than 500."
When Zhang Qing heard that there were three thousand people, his fighting spirit became more intense. He raised his spear and shouted: "Athletes from Dongchang Prefecture, follow me to capture Chao Gai from Liangshan and take him to Tokyo to receive the reward."
The soldiers and horses of Dongchang Prefecture followed Zhang Qing and wiped out several groups of grass bandits, and they were invincible. When they heard Zhang Qing's shouts, their morale was even higher. They followed Zhang Qing's horses and charged forward.
Soon, black flags appeared in the distance, and then the Liangshan soldiers and horses below were gradually revealed.
Zhang Qing was also surprised when he saw that Liangshan's soldiers and horses were in an orderly formation, not a ragtag group like the grass bandits before.
His soldiers and horses had already traveled for half a day, but Liangshan was waiting for work. He originally planned to defeat Liangshan's soldiers and horses in one go, but at this time he did not dare to charge again, and quickly asked Gong Wang and Ding Desun to command the soldiers and horses to set up the battle array.
Zhang Qing was afraid that the Liangshan soldiers and horses would come back and scatter his troops, so he rode alone to the front of the Liangshan formation and shouted: "I have heard that there are many heroes in the Liangshan leaders, but does anyone dare to go against me?"
"Li Yinglai also"
After Li Ying of Pu Tian Diao went up the mountain, he took charge of the money and food. He had been holding back for a long time, so he rushed out of the battle and came to fetch Zhang Qing.
When Zhang Qing saw Li Ying using his spear, he also wanted to win. He slapped his horse to meet Li Ying. After fighting for more than ten rounds, he felt that he couldn't beat Li Ying with his spear skills, so he slapped his horse and left.
When Li Ying entered the battle for the first time and was about to perform a meritorious service, he saw that Zhang Qing was about to escape, so he galloped towards him.
When Zhang Qing heard that Li Ying was chasing him, he held the spear in his left hand, took out a stone from the brocade bag with his right hand, turned around, raised his hand and hit it with a stone.
Li Ying was also good at using flying knives, but he usually used this method when traveling around the world. Unexpectedly, he encountered the use of hidden weapons for the first time in battle.
Seeing Zhang Qing suddenly turn around and raise his arms, he felt something was wrong. When he hurriedly dodge, he was too late and was hit on the forehead by a stone.
"Oh"
Li Ying screamed and almost fell off his horse. He didn't dare to fight anymore. He leaned on the saddle and turned the horse's head and walked back.
"You can't be a hero if you hurt someone with a hidden weapon. Just take a hit from me."
A hero was annoyed here. When Qin Ming saw Zhang Qing hurt someone with a hidden weapon, he shouted loudly and came to fetch Zhang Qing while wielding a mace.
Zhang Qing saw how fierce Qin Ming was coming, so he had already taken a stone in his hand. When Qin Ming came close, the stone flew out of his hand and hit Qin Ming's eyebrows.
Qin Ming came fiercely and was hit by a stone. The pain was unbearable and he fell off his horse.
When Zhang Qing saw him, he rushed over to capture Qin Ming.
Seeing this, Xu Ning, the golden spear general, rushed forward to attack Zhang Qing.
After a short fight between the two, Zhang Qing turned his horse and left.
Xu Ning relied on his strong martial arts skills and was not afraid of him throwing rocks, so he chased after him with his horse.
When Zhang Qing heard that Xu Ning was chasing him, he took another stone in his hand, turned around, and started to hit him with his hand.
Seeing Zhang Qing twisting around, Xu Ning hurriedly dodged sideways, but did not see the pebbles flying towards him.
It turned out that Zhang Qing was just feinting, and when Xu Ning was confused, the stone flew out of his hand.
Xu Ning couldn't dodge anymore and was hit in the cheek, so he didn't dare to chase anymore, so he turned his horse and walked away.
A man in front of the Liangshan formation shouted: "Why should I be afraid?"
After shouting, he patted his horse and flew out of the formation.
When Chao Gai looked, it was Han Tao, the victorious general.
Han Tao went out to fight, and if he didn't talk to him again, he would fight Zhang Qing.
"win"
"win"
"win"
As the two horses crossed each other, Zhang Qing shouted loudly from behind.
However, Gong Wangding and Desun had already set up their battle formations, and the soldiers and horses of Dongchang Prefecture saw that their general had won several battles in a row and cheered for him.
When Han Tao conquered Liangshan last time, he was knocked off his horse by Luan Tingyu with a flying hammer, and he has always been ashamed of it. Today, he will seize the opportunity to show his ability in front of everyone, cheer up, and fight against Zhang Qing.
Han Tao's martial arts skills were indeed excellent, and he was determined to show off his authority, which actually forced Zhang Qing to panic for a while.
Before the battle was over, Zhang Qing forced Han Tao away, turned his horse and left.
Han Tao suspected that Zhang Qing was going to use flying rocks again. Seeing that he had won for a while and had demonstrated his martial arts skills, he did not pursue him.
However, Zhang Qing was not really unable to resist anymore. He turned around and saw Han Tao coming, so he turned his horse's head and charged again.
Han Tao thought Zhang Qing was coming to fight again, so he came to greet him.
Zhang Qing had already hidden the stone. Seeing that Han Tao was defenseless, he raised his hand and hit Han Tao, hitting Han Tao's nose directly.
The concave part of the nose is a vulnerable spot. If it is hit by a stone, blood will immediately flow out.
Han Tao felt that his front teeth were about to fall out, so he did not dare to fight anymore and fled back to the main formation.
Peng Qi and Han Tao were very close friends. When he saw that Zhang Qing had injured Han Tao, he couldn't help but became furious. Without waiting for General Chao Gai's order, he danced a three-pointed two-edged sword and flew straight towards Zhang Qing.
Before the two of them exchanged horses, Zhang Qing hid the stone in his hand, looked at how close Peng Qi was, raised his hand and hit Peng Qi again, hitting Peng Qi in the cheek.
Peng Qi threw away the three-pointed two-edged sword and galloped back to the formation.
"Today I have lost my prestige. How can I fight tomorrow? Let's see if a stone can hit me?"
When Chao Gai looked at it, he saw that it was an iron rod and Luan Tingyu.
Luan Tingyu, however, believed that he could hit people with flying hammers, and felt that Zhang Qing's flying stones might not be able to hit him.
Immediately, he claps his horse and dances with his stick, and goes straight to Zhang Qing.
Zhang Qing saw another person coming and said with a smile: "One comes, one goes! Two come, two escape! Do you know my method of flying rocks?"
Luan Tingyu said: "You can beat others, but how can you get close to me?"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Qing raised his hand and another stone flew towards him.
Luan Tingyu looked friendly and reached out to grab it.
Unexpectedly, the stone was much faster than his flying hammer. He missed it with one hand, but was hit in the mouth by the stone, causing him to flip over and fall off his horse.
Gong Wang and Ding Desun saw him behind and rushed to get him.
Here, Xiang Chong and Li Gong were overjoyed to see the two of them with flying spears and flying forks, and they danced group cards together and came out to greet them.
When Gong Wang and Ding Desun saw Xiang Chong and Li Gong with throwing knives and javelins on their backs, they did not go to capture Luan Tingyu, but came to capture the two of them.
A few feet apart, the four people began to throw throwing knives, javelins, and throwing forks.
Xiang Chong and Li Gun didn't dodge, they just used their group cards to cover themselves.
Gong Wang and Ding Desun dodge left and right, and occasionally catch the ball if they spot it correctly. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Piaotian Literature to be a registered member to recommend this work. Your support is my greatest support.
