Horse on the World

Chapter 174 Capture the Flag
The Bai people did not retreat as expected, Li Qing was a little uncertain, people like Hu He always had difficulty grasping their thoughts, Li Qing thought he could only guess [-]% of the time, from Hu He It is not difficult to see from He's surprise attack on Dingyuan last time, and the exchange of hostages, this person still does not reject the risky strategy. Back then, he dared to attack Dingyuan with exhausted troops. Will he be alone today?

Li Qing's heart was pounding. According to a normal analysis, Hu He would never provoke him when Bayar was committed to dominating the grassland. When two tigers fight, the final outcome is likely to be the monkey who is cheaper. Hu He Will my brain get hot?Seeing that the Baibu troops were not retreating, the Dingzhou soldiers were ready to charge. If they wanted to start a fight, their side had a good position, at least slightly better in horsepower.

One of the members of the Bai tribe rode out alone and came straight to this side. Li Qing couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. This means that he won't be able to fight, but why did Hu He send someone here? Fighting in the rivers and lakes, do you still have to confess a few words that the green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever?

"Hu Shuai's Nuoqia, please see Li Qing and Li Dashuai!"

Li Qing couldn't help being amused when he heard it, he's an acquaintance, he's been with Dingzhou for a long time, this person is a general, is he now in the army?
"What's the matter? Isn't it just one of our defeated generals?" Jiang Kui muttered.

A hundred steps away from the Dingzhou army, Nuo Qi'a reined in the horse, got off the horse, and walked a few steps forward empty-handed, signaling that he had no malicious intentions. Li Qing smiled and said, "Let him come over!"

Lv Dabing laughed and rode his horse forward a few steps, "General Nuo, are you safe? We will be gone for a few months, I miss Lu very much!"

Nuo Qi'a was furious, he was surrounded by Lu Dabing and Guo Shanfeng, and he had no choice but to surrender in order to protect the princess. Seeing Lu Dabing's haughty, victorious attitude, he couldn't help but get angry , glared at him bitterly, walked quickly in front of Li Qing, stroked his chest with his left hand, saluted Li Qing who was on the horse, and said, "Nuo Qia has seen Marshal Li."

For Li Qing, Nuoqia still admires his heart. In Dingzhou, although he became a prisoner, under Li Qing's care, he did not suffer any grievances. Of course, the eyes of those guards are not counted. Inside, he was already prepared to be humiliated due to the life-and-death relationship between the two families.

Li Qing looked down at Nuo Qia from a high position. Although this man was once a prisoner of the Dingzhou Army, Li Qing would not underestimate him, just because he could hold back his anger in the face of Lu Dabing's provocations. For Fang Gang's generals, it was not easy.

"What's the matter with Commander Tiger? Don't you want to have a face-to-face confrontation with our Dingzhou army, and you're going to stop there and turn the whole army around?" Li Qing asked with a half-smile.

Nuo Qi'a smiled neither humble nor overbearing: "What is Li Dashuai talking about, obviously Li Dashuai doesn't want to fight, we Hushuai don't want to push people too much, and we respect Li Dashuai as a hero, so let Nuoqia talk to Dashuai , so that Marshal Li can feel at ease!"

Lu Dabing, Jiang Kui and the others couldn't help being furious, and looked at Nuoqia with hatred, wishing to eat him in one bite, but Li Qing laughed and said, "The commander-in-chief said that Li didn't want to fight? What a joke, Li just kept going." It is a pity that the scenery of the grassland is not as far as that of Dingzhou. I just wanted to see if the majesty of Hushuai is as it is in the legend. It is a pity that Hushuai Fell to the ground but withered."

Nuoqia said: "If the commander wants to fight, why bother to fight with open flames? Wouldn't a sneak attack be more effective? Reporting the news to our army in this way is self-evident. My commander Hu is also a knowledgeable and interesting person, how can he spoil the scenery?"

Li Qing tilted his head and looked at Nuoqia, but he couldn't tell that this guy was also very good at speaking, "I fight openly, because I want the commander-in-chief to show the might of my Dingzhou army, and I don't want to take advantage of the fire to loot, so-and-so , even if he wins Hushuai, he won't be convinced!"

"Dingzhou's military power, Hu Shuai has seen it in Dingyuan Fort!" Nuo Qi'a laughed.

Lu Dabing angrily said: "Wu that barbarian, have you forgotten that you were once Lu's captive? My family's commander is kind, let you survive by luck, and you are still talking here without shame."

Nuoqia turned his head, squinted at Lu Dabing, and protested: "I was captured, it was not a crime of war, I survived, it was the power of the tiger commander, surnamed Lu, there will always be snow on the battlefield in the future time of humiliation."

Lu Dabing pulled out his knife eagerly, "Why not now?"

Nuoqia sneered, looked at Li Qing, ignored Lu Dabing, and twisted Lu Dabing on his horse in anger. If he didn't see that the commander was right in front of him, he would have gotten off his horse and scuffled him.

"Stop talking nonsense, Nuo Qia, why did Hu He ask you to come here? You didn't come here to fight against my generals, did you? Presumably Hu Shuai is in a hurry to turn around at this time. It's too late, and Li will stay here gone."

Nuo Qi'a's heart trembled, Li Qing's words were obvious, obviously, Lu Dalin's troops were about to come here.Calculating the distance, I'm afraid it will arrive in a few hours.

"My Hu Shuai said that since the two armies met, they turned around and left. Not only was he unwilling, but Li Shuai was also unwilling. It is said that there is a custom of fighting soldiers in Da Chu, and our grassland also has the custom of planting flags and capturing flags. Let’s have a fight today, no matter who wins or loses, after the fight, turn around and leave, how about that?”

Um?Li Qing couldn't help being taken aback, he didn't expect that Hu He would actually make this suggestion, he must have absolute confidence in the fighting power of his wolf running army, and wanted to show himself off, in the midst of pondering, his eyes turned to Jiang Kui, the general of the Whirlwind Camp, Jiang Kui rode his horse forward, "Commander, the last general of the Whirlwind Camp is willing to fight!"

Li Qing thought for a moment, this is also an opportunity to feel the strength of Hu He Lang Ben, but he can give it a try, but if he loses, he is afraid that it will leave a shadow in the army. It's Wolf Run, I'm really not sure, when he hesitated, Nuo Qi'a smiled and said: "If the commander dare not, just say it straight, my Hushuai said, he turned around and left, there is no difference."

Furious, Jiang Kui jumped off his horse and knelt down in front of Li Qing's horse, "Commander, the last general is willing to fight. If he loses, the last general will come to see you!"

Li Qing reprimanded: "What nonsense!" He looked at Nuo Qi'a, "Tell Hu Shuai, fight, each side sends 100 people. Fighting soldiers!"

Nuo Qi'a cupped his fists and turned around.

Li Qing looked at Jiang Kui, "Jiang Kui, are your subordinates sure?"

Jiang Kui said loudly: "The subordinates of the last general dare to fight to the death." Huo Di stood up, ran to the front of the whirlwind camp, and shouted: "To fight the barbarians, I want 100 people. If you are willing to fight, I will definitely fight!" The prestige of the State Cyclone Camp!"

"The last general is willing to go!" More than a dozen fruit growers came out in response.

Jiang Kui's eyes turned back and forth on everyone's faces, and after a long while, he shouted loudly: "Guan Shaolong!"

A young general came out in response, his face was full of excitement, "The end is here!"

"You choose 100 elite members of your department to capture the flag and kill the general for the commander in chief!"

"The last general takes orders!" Guan Shaolong ran to his subordinates excitedly, while the rest of the group of fruit leaders retreated to the queue unhappily seeing that they had no chance.

The drums of the two sides rang almost at the same time, and the shouts of the soldiers tore through the night sky. Two knights each held a military flag and galloped forward. In the center of the battlefield, hundreds of steps apart, they inserted the two large flags on the ground.Circle the horse and go back.

The drumbeat changed again, and a hundred knights from both sides slowly trotted out from the formation. Since they were fighting soldiers aboveboard, the Dingzhou cavalry did not take advantage of the advantage of the land.

The wolf running army is all in iron armor, with a round shield in their left hand and a scimitar in their right hand. The Dingzhou whirlwind camp is also full of iron armor. Unlike the wolf running army, they also have face shields to protect their faces. , with only two eyes exposed, each of the Whirlwind Battalion had a charge spear, and a saber hung beside the saddle. Compared with the scimitar in the hands of the Wolf Running Army, their blades were slightly longer and had a slightly smaller arc. .After Li Qing saw the equipment of the Yulin Army from the capital, he bought a large sum of money in Fuzhou and started to equip the army slowly when he became more generous. Jiang Kui's whirlwind battalion was Li Qing's. The first cavalry battalion in the country naturally won the first place and was the first to be equipped.

"Lie!" Guan Shaolong growled lowly, his voice was very muffled because he was wearing a helmet.The spears in the hands of a hundred cavalrymen were raised at the same time, and the ten by ten cavalry suddenly looked like sharp arrows ready to go.

"We must win!" Guan Shaolong growled again.

"We must win!" The 99 people responded in unison.

Although the number of people is small, the momentum is astonishing.To make peace with this, more than [-] Dingzhou troops on the gentle slope shouted in unison: "We must win, we must win!"

Hu He changed color slightly, "Sure enough, a strong army!" The belief in the victory in his heart was slightly shaken.

The sound of the drum became louder, and following the drum, the knights on both sides shouted at the same time, "Kill!" They clamped their legs on the horse's belly and rushed towards each other.

Stab the spear flat, lean forward, charge forward, encounter the enemy, stab the enemy, abandon the spear, draw the knife, and enter the enemy's formation.

People on both sides kept falling.

This battle is very different from the battle in the capital. The battle in the capital is only about winning or losing, regardless of life or death, but this battle is determined by life and death. Even if only one person is still alive on both sides, the duel will not stop until one side dies. completely down.Compared with the decisive battle of the army, its cruelty is even worse. In the duel of the army, you can still dodge and move, trying to survive, but this duel is destined to be an endless situation where you will never die.

Li Qing frowned tightly, every time he saw his own soldiers fall off the horse, the muscles on his face twitched, his heart really hurt like hell, but this battle had to be fought.

The tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides were silent except for the beating of drums. The cruel duel in the field shocked even these elites.

The sound of the drum suddenly stopped, and no one was still on the horse in the duel field. They all fell off their horses and fell to the ground. Unexpectedly, the two banners were still flying in the arena.

"Damn it, you have ruined my hundred warriors for nothing!" Li Qing squeezed out a few words between his teeth, his face livid.

"Marshal, Marshal, look!" Jiang Kui's voice trembled, and he suddenly pointed at the battlefield with an extremely excited expression.

Following the sound, Li Qing's eyes suddenly lit up. A soldier in Dingzhou military uniform who was lying on the ground squirmed a few times, and slowly, little by little, propped up from the ground. One of his arms It was gone, and under the reflection of the fire, Bai Sensen's bone stubble was clearly visible. He first knelt on one knee on the ground, took a deep breath, and then stood up little by little with the knife on the ground.

"We must win, we must win!" More than ten thousand soldiers on the slope cheered loudly, and there was only one person alive in the whirlwind battalion. Dingzhou won the duel.

"It's Guan Shaolong!" Jiang Kui trembled.

Moving step by step to the banner of the wolf running army, Guan Shaolong bit the knife horizontally in his mouth, stretched out his hand and pulled up the opposing army banner, turned around, and raised it up the slope.

"Mighty!" Cheers erupted on the slope again.

The wolf ran silently, Hauge quietly picked up the strong bow, and was about to take aim with the arrow. Hu He's stern gaze had already looked over, and Hauge put down the bow and arrow in dismay.

"Let's go!" Hu He sighed desolately, and turned his horse's head.The [-] wolves galloped along and rode their horses, only Nuoqi'a was left with a team of horses, went to the battlefield, and started to collect the remains of the soldiers. On the gentle slope, several knights rushed down to meet their hero Guan Shaolong.
