I, the son of Yang Guo, abducted Zhang Sanfeng across the heavens

“How disrespectful!”

Now even Yuwen Chengdu, who had originally planned to back down, was furious, and the veins on his forehead were shaking.

When had he ever been ignored like this, as General Tianbao, the great defender of the Tang Dynasty?
But now that things have come to this and the enemy is right in front of him, there is no need to attack again. Yuwen Chengdu secretly made up his mind to wait until the time comes to fight and then beat his opponent to break bones to avenge himself.

Yuwen Chengdu is indeed from a family of officials, and he knows how to advance and retreat. If he were to encounter Li Yuanba, Luo Shixin and others in this situation, he would definitely smash their heads regardless of the consequences.

But Yuwen Chengdu had a lot to consider. Even if he didn't consider his own life, he had to consider the safety of his father Yuwen Huaji's life. He himself was extremely powerful and could fight his way out of a huge army, but his father Yuwen Huaji was a weak scholar.

As for the four people next to them, even Yuwen Chengdu did not express any objection, so the four of them had to keep it to themselves.

The results of the finger-guessing game came out soon: Cheng Yaojin against Wei Wentong, Dongfang Bo against Shang Shitu, Jiang Song against Xin Wenli, and Jiang Chun against Lai Huer.

"I can only say that Yuwen Chengdu is really lucky." Hua Shi coughed and shook his head and sighed, "Even with such a strong comparison, he was able to steal a victory. Maybe this is fate. I think Yuwen Chengdu is probably a reincarnated immortal from heaven. He has great luck."

When Hua Shi said this, both of them were unhappy. Yuwen Chengdu thought, which of my victories was not based on my strength? How can I say I was just lucky?
Luo Cheng is now even more angry than Yuwen Chengdu just now. Yuwen Chengdu still has to consider some trivial things like the safety of his life and property, but Luo Cheng, as the controller of the home court and the prince of Beiping, does not need to consider those problems.

Because he was looked down upon, he was extremely angry now. He planned to take ruthless action, even if it meant killing Yuwen Chengdu, to get back his revenge.

How can you judge yourself as a failure before the fight even starts?

But Luo Cheng had a good idea in his mind, but the facts would not change according to his personal will. Fighting is a very real thing. If you can't win, you can't win, unless you can take advantage of Yuwen Chengdu being seriously injured, rush down the mountain and hit him with a hammer.

There is no need to say much about the fighting process of the others. Jiang Song and Dongfang Bo resolved the fight very quickly. Lai Huer was indeed strong. As the second strongest among the four fiercest, he made Jiang Chun work hard, but it did not exceed 15 rounds.

The only two who were still fighting were Cheng Yaojin and Luo Cheng, but their situations were very different.

Cheng Yaojin used the 36 Tiangang axes, a set of axe techniques taught by an immortal in his dream. Originally, only the first three axes were enough for him to live for a lifetime. Even against Qin Qiong, the last of the Thirteen Heroes, he could handle a few blows.

Although Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong are considered the thirteenth heroes together, Cheng Yaojin was also a wild boy after all and only learned these three axe techniques. This shows the power of this axe technique.

Now that Cheng Yaojin has mastered the Hua Shi Tui Yan and all 36 Tian Gang Axes, as well as some other little tricks, his strength is no less than Yang Lin. Perhaps relying on his strong body and long stamina, he can even defeat Yang Lin in the end.

Yang Lin ranked eighth among the 13 heroes, and Wei Wentong ranked ninth among the 13 heroes. As we all know, even if there is a difference of one place in the ranking of the heroes, the difference in strength is quite obvious.

Wei Wentong held a big Guandao in his hand. At first, he relied on his strength to fight with Cheng Yaojin. After all, the Guandao and the Xuanhua axe were both heavy weapons.

However, as the battle lasted longer, the exquisiteness of this magical axe technique gradually became apparent, and Wei Wentong's big Guandao was obviously dwarfed by it.

After a few more rounds, Wei Wentong became obviously afraid to use the sword.

On the other hand, the battle between Luo Cheng and Yuwen Chengdu was completely opposite.

Luo Cheng, who was full of anger, started with a set of Plum Blossom Seven Stamens, which made Jiang Chun and Jiang Song frown.

This child just won't listen.

Sure enough, although Yuwen Chengdu's boring skills were far inferior to those of the two Jiang brothers, his strength was much greater than Luo Cheng's. He didn't move or defend, but just struck.

With a "clang" sound, all seven of Luo Cheng's spear flowers were broken.

"Woo!"

Two sounds of breaking wind were heard, and Luo Cheng's spear shadow turned into two paths, one on the left and one on the right, attacking Yuwen Chengdu's horse.

How could he not remember the problem Jiang Chun pointed out to him last time? Although Luo Cheng was arrogant, it did not mean that he would give up his brain for the sake of pride.

But his style was as vicious as ever. After learning how to use a gun from the Jiang brothers, his gun skills had reached a new level, from 7 Gun Flowers to 9 Gun Flowers.

He deliberately hid the two guns at this time in order to let Yuwen Chengdu relax his vigilance. At the moment when his opponent thought that he had broken his gun skills, he would fire the two hidden guns again, so that he could catch his opponent by surprise.

As expected, Yuwen Chengdu was flustered for a moment. But it was only for a moment. His 420-jin phoenix-wing gilded drill was so heavy that he swung it twice and knocked away Luo Cheng's two spear shadows.

Yuwen Chengdu then swung the phoenix-wing gilded drill and smashed it at Luo Cheng on the head.

As soon as the fight started, Luo Cheng knew it was not good. The guy in front of him was too strong and he couldn't hold on at all.

It is not easy to win by relying on skills. Although Jiang Jia's spearmanship is the best in the junior high school, Yu Juluo's skills are not much worse. After all, he is the player who can cut off half of Li Yuanba's head with his sword despite his old body.

Although Yuwen Chengdu did not learn Yu Juluo's skills completely, Luo Cheng is not Jiang Song after all.

The two men fought with their guns for about 20 rounds, and Luo Cheng was already exhausted.

Even though Luo Cheng has become much stronger now, he still has some strength. It is not easy to reach the level of the fifth or sixth best players.

But Yuwen Chengdu was a player who could defeat four, five, six heroes alone. The fact that Luo Cheng could hold on until now was the result of the Jiang family's extraordinary spear skills.

Later in the fight, Yuwen Chengdu broke into the spear formation for defense, intending to knock Luo Cheng off his horse. However, Luo Cheng pulled out a bronze mace from his waist, wiped it across Yuwen Chengdu's phoenix-wing gilded mace, and then stabbed forward with his mace, almost piercing Yuwen Chengdu's eyes.

Yuwen Chengdu was so frightened that he leaned back quickly and did a bridge on the horse's back, showing his solid waist and horse skills, and managed to avoid Luo Cheng's mace.

Luo Cheng was delighted, thinking that his cousin's trick was really useful. It seemed that it was true. Some problems that could not be solved immediately with long weapons had to be solved with short weapons on foot.

Unfortunately, this was Luo Cheng’s last struggle.

Qin Qiong's mace technique is indeed effective, but it is important to remember that "an inch longer, an inch stronger". Yuwen Chengdu's phoenix-winged gilded mace is more than ten feet long. Whether you are on a horse or on foot, the boring blade will pierce your throat before Luo Cheng can get close to it. Luo Cheng is not a player like Shan Xiongxin and Wang Junke who have been hanging around in the rivers and lakes for years. He does not have such good light skills. Others only need to move their palms a few inches, but Luo Cheng needs to jump up and down for several meters to avoid it. How many borings can he dodge?
The final outcome was that Yuwen Chengdu slapped the boring blade horizontally on Luo Cheng's armor and knocked him to the ground.

Just before he landed on the ground, Cheng Yaojin had just used an axe to jam Wei Wentong's sword, pried it hard, and knocked him off his horse.

In fact, from this perspective, Luo Cheng is not shameful at all. Facing an opponent who was ranked 5 places higher than him, the time he held on after being defeated was even longer than the time Wei Wentong held on when facing an opponent who was one place higher in strength than him.

If a normal person encounters this kind of situation, they would even brag about it.

"I can withstand Yuwen Chengdu's attacks for dozens of rounds, so what can you little bastards do to me?"

However, Luo Cheng would never say such words. Not to mention that he could hold out for dozens of rounds before being defeated. Even if he lost to Yuwen Chengdu, Luo Cheng felt extremely ashamed.

After all, out of the five people who went to battle, he was the only one who lost on the Beiping Palace side. Moreover, he had a special status, being the prince of Beiping, which made him even more embarrassed.

Luo Cheng's white face, which was as rosy as powder, turned pink.

Yuwen Chengdu was still very polite. After all, he knew that this was the prince of Beiping and he would have to work for him for a living. Therefore, he did not use any ruthless force when they fought, and now he was also quite polite in his words.

Yuwen Chengdu clasped his hands together and said, "Your Highness is indeed an expert in martial arts. His mace technique is very unexpected. He is so powerful at such a young age. When he is my age, Yuwen Chengdu will definitely not be his opponent."

This was already a very humble statement for Yuwen Chengdu. He had always considered himself invincible, and now he took the initiative to admit that he was not as good as Luocheng in the future. For him, it was already a great humility.

But Luo Cheng was still not convinced. He thought that he was of noble status, skilled in martial arts, and had inherited the Jiang family's spear skills. A so-called fierce general like Yuwen Chengdu, who was praised by the foolish emperor, should not be his opponent at all.

But Yuwen Chengdu did have amazing skills, as the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. If you lose in a martial arts competition, you lose. Luo Cheng was not convinced but he could not say anything. He could only snort and turn away.

This made Yuwen Chengdu blush and embarrassed.

But now that things have come to this, he dared not say anything more. As I said before, his family now has no soldiers or generals, and has left the original comfort zone of the palace. Yang Guang was killed by someone with a single sword. What capital does he have to vent his anger?

Luo Yi has regained 5 new generals, and his strength has increased greatly. Yang Jian is not in a good mood.

Yang Jian had originally thought that after regaining control of the country, he would imprison this useless son for life. Although he had no good feelings towards this son who dared to usurp his throne, he was still his own son after all, so he did not think of killing him.

He thought that if he didn't want to kill Yang Guang, Yang Gui wouldn't bother with a waste like Yang Guang, and Yang Guang's life would be saved. But he never expected that he would die so suddenly.

Yang Jian, furious, immediately led his army to attack the Prince of Beiping's palace.

Even Huayan couldn't persuade him.

Obviously, this was exactly what Hua Shi wanted.

Even though Yang Jian had a large number of soldiers and generals, and he mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops and took Wu Yun and Wu Tianxi to the battle, it was actually of no use at all.

Jiang Song fought with Wu Yunzhao once, and indeed he was no match for Wu Yunzhao, but as long as he could hold out for a while, there would be room for Hua Shi to operate.

Hua Shi made use of the natural terrain, mountain streams and canyons, fires and floods many times to repel Yang Jian's troops.

Even if Yang Jian had powerful generals like Wu Yunzhao and Wu Tianxi, they could only protect themselves when facing the power of nature and had no ability to continue charging. But in terms of the entire army's march, they could only retreat in disgrace.

When Yang Jian arrived at Luo Yi's territory, he almost didn't fight a direct battle, but he suffered heavy losses and lost several battles in a row.

However, Hua Shi was not satisfied with just causing some trouble to Yang Jian from the front. He even ordered Luocheng to send troops to the rear of Yang Jian again, constantly harassing Yang Jian's territory, causing great trouble to Yang Jian's rear.

Although Yang Jian still had a group of capable ministers and Huayan defending his rear, Hua Shi seemed to be able to predict their route in advance and had planned a detailed route for him since Luo Cheng left. Every time Yang Jian's rear-end attacked Luo Cheng, they were one step late.

Luo Cheng, along with the old general Ding Yanping, caused great damage to Yang Jian's rear.

Yang Jian, who was leading the troops outside, suddenly found that he seemed to have become the stupid son who had just died. The defeat of Yang Guang in his three expeditions to Goguryeo seemed to be repeating itself on him.

Fortunately, Yang Jian's courage is not comparable to that of his dead stupid son. Now that things have come to this point, he also has the courage to stop the loss in time.

Although it was very embarrassing, for the sake of stability in the rear, Yang Jian still turned back with his army.

However, he admitted defeat, but Hua Shi's story was not over yet.

"Yang Jian, you invaded my kingdom's territory without reason and were defeated. Can you just leave now?"

Hua Shi's physical condition meant he couldn't lead the battle himself, so he sent someone to pass a message to Yang Jian. He was so angry that he wanted to order the army to turn around and fight them again.

I am the orthodox ruler of the Tang Dynasty! You invaded the king's territory. Don't you know that the whole world belongs to the king?
However, it was obvious that neither King of Beiping Luo Yi nor Hua Shi wanted to recognize him as the legitimate emperor.

During the retreat, Yang Jian's army was constantly harassed and ambushed.

Even the "gunpowder" that Hua Shi had cooked up had injured a tough guy like Wu Tianxi. Wu Yunzhao angrily chased after the culprit, but he didn't see anyone. When he came back, he found that Yang Jian's army had been attacked again, killing many generals and soldiers, and even Yang Jian himself was in disgrace.

After this battle, Yang Jian had no intention of fighting Luo Yi anymore, and fled back to Chang'an in a panic.

After this battle, Hua Shi established his reputation as the best strategist in the world.

The whole world was shocked. Whether it was the retired rebel kings or the noble families with ulterior motives, they were all trembling with fear.
