The horn sounded on the grassland, and tens of thousands of Mongol cavalry came from all directions. The horses were crowded, and you pushed me. The soldiers couldn't find the generals, and they couldn't find the soldiers. There was a lot of noise and chaos, and the whole grassland was in chaos. - group, the situation is worse than Yang Yuanqing thought.
Yang Yuanqing's men rushed into the ranks to rectify the army. They did not understand the language and could not communicate smoothly, making it very difficult to organize the army. And the centurions were called by Chief Quandu to lecture. Without the leader, the ranks were even more chaotic.
At this moment, Utu came galloping with a team of hundreds of cavalry. The chaos of the Mengwu cavalry in front of him made him furious. He immediately ordered his men to restore order. Hundreds of Guards cavalry rushed into the team. With whips and fists, the Mongol cavalry were forced to line up.
Wutu stepped forward and shook his head at Yang Yuanqing with a bitter smile: "General Yang, why don't you use the captain of thousands? It will save you a lot of worry."
Yang Yuanqing also smiled, "I also want to take this opportunity to train my men and give them the opportunity to lead the army. Bird map, are you okay?"
Wu Tu nodded, stepped forward and whispered to Yang Yuanqing: "I want to ask you for help with something."
"Go and talk in the camp!"
Yang Yuanqing brought Wu Tu into the camp, and the two sat down. Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "Tell me! What can I help you with?"
Wu Tu found it difficult to speak. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "General Yang, I want you to kill someone for me."
"Who?" Yang Yuanqing was stunned.
"You have seen General Zuosha Arruda."
"Is that the guy with the arrogant face?"
Yang Yuanqing remembered that Aruda, who was said to be a captain of ten thousand men. He was very good at riding and shooting, but he was rude and arrogant. He contradicted him at the first meeting. Although Yang Yuanqing also disliked this person, he didn't go to the extent of killing him. , but I don¡¯t know why Utu wanted to kill him?
Utu sighed and said: "It's embarrassing to say it, but it's actually a power struggle within the Turks. In recent years, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has expanded rapidly, and many important ministers have their own tribes. I am no exception. I am the Golden Arrow Consort, Mongolian I also have a tribe of 50,000 people, called the Utu tribe, who is favored by the Khan, but the Khan's health is not getting better every year. Everyone knows that he has only been around for a few years, and he has already begun to distribute some of his wealth. This time he sent troops to Khitan, the Khan wanted to take this opportunity to give me the Guards, otherwise he would not have sent such an elite army. He has told me that it was for this reason that he sent me to lead the Guards to cooperate with General Yang, but Ji Ye has been plotting against this Guards. Arruda is the captain he placed in the Guards. If he is not eliminated and the Khan dies, this elite army will at least be divided. Walk half way."
Yang Yuanqing nodded, "I understand, don't worry, I will get rid of this person for you."
Wutu said apologetically: "Actually, I can also kill this person, but if I take action, I will fall out with Duoji. After all, he is the heir of the Khan and I don't dare to enmity with him. Yuanqing, I can only come to beg you."
"You don't need to say any more words of gratitude, I understand."
Yang Yuanqing patted him on the shoulder and said: "I only have one brother in Turks. If my brother is in trouble, I will do my best to help him."
Wutu was moved. He held Yuan Qing's hand, stared into his eyes and said, "I only have one brother in the Sui Dynasty. If one day, you need my help I will do my best to help you." I will help you with all my strength.¡±
Arruda is about thirty years old, six feet eight tall, and extremely burly. He is the same height as Yang Wei, but Yang Wei is tall and fat, but this man is as strong as a bear, and his arms are as strong as a thousand catties. , is a very famous general in the Turkic army.
This person is a confidant of Yehu Duoji. Duoji sent him as the captain of ten thousand men to serve as the general of the Guards Zuosha. His intention was to control this most elite Turkic cavalry.
At dawn the next day, Yang Yuanqing held a meeting of commanders in the Chinese army's tent. Twenty commanders attended the meeting. This was also the third meeting of commanders since the dispatch of troops, but there were many more meetings. Ten thousand captains of the Sui Dynasty.
Arruda sat in the third seat from the left. He looked at the ten thousand captains of the Sui Dynasty with disdain. He had seen all of these people. They were all brought by Yang Yuanqing. They were a group of soldiers and generals, and they suddenly transformed into As a Turkic captain, while despising Arruda, he was also somewhat dissatisfied with Yang Yuanqing's interposition, which was done without the consent of the Khan.
At this meeting, Yang Yuanqing tried his best to speak to everyone in Chinese and Turkic languages.
"This time, the 10,000 cavalry sent by the Mengwu tribe are too weak in combat effectiveness and lack discipline. I plan to use ten days for training. In other words, we will set off again in ten days. Do you have any opinions on this?"
Wutu leaned forward and said: "General Yang, if this is the case, time willIt will be long, and I am worried that the news will be accidentally leaked and the Khitan people will find out. "
"Probably not. This place is still five hundred miles away from the Khitan boundary. Only you here know about the attack on the Khitan, followed by the Mongolian chief. This matter is related to everyone's vital interests. I believe no one will tell the truth. "
Yang Yuanqing glanced at everyone and saw that no one said anything, so he nodded and returned to the previous topic, "This time it will take ten days to train the Mengwu tribe. Originally, I wanted the Guards to train them, but The time was too short, and I was worried that the Guards training would not be effective, so I decided to switch to Sui Army training. I believe that in ten days, everyone will see a brand new Mongol cavalry.
As soon as Yang Yuanqing finished speaking, he just heard 'Hi! , sneered, and Arruda said with disdain: "Manager Yang, what you say is too self-righteous! Do the Turks still need Sui people to train? Manager Yang, 10,000 Turkic Guards are worth as much as your 100,000 Sui troops." , do you want us to try it?"
At this time, Luo Shixin stretched out his little finger to him and sarcastically said in unskilled Turkic language: "Crush you arrogant ant to death!"
It was extremely rude and contemptuous to extend the little finger to the Turks. Coupled with Luo Shixin's words, Arruda was furious. He slapped the table and stood up, and said viciously to Luo Shixin: "Little Han thief" , how dare you insult me?"
Luo Shixin also stood up without fear, glared at him and said: "You still want to fight ten of them, but you are no match for me!"
What he said was in Chinese, and a Turkic commander next to him who was fluent in Chinese translated it in a low voice to Aluda. Aluda laughed loudly, drew his knife and pointed at Luo Shixin, "Young thief, do you want to compete?" !¡±
Behind Luo Shixin, there was also a soldier of Yang Yuanqing who translated for him. Luo Shixin also drew his sword and pointed it at him: "I'm afraid you may say it with your mouth, but you don't dare in your heart!"
Yang Yuanqing¡ªslammed the table, "Big face!"
Utu also angrily shouted at Arruda, "Don't be rude to the guests, why don't you apologize quickly!"
How could Arruda listen to Wutu? He sneered and said to Yang Yuanqing: "Manager Yang, the Turkic army cannot help but compete in martial arts. Since the Sui people also serve as Turkic commanders, then we must follow the Turkic rules. I want to fight with him." This little captain will compete, of course, if he kowtows to me and admits defeat, I will spare him."
"this¡¡"
Yang Yuanqing¡¯s face looked a little embarrassed, but Arruda refused to give in and pressed forward step by step: ¡°Why, General Manager Yang doesn¡¯t want to admit that they are Turkic captains? Do you want to protect this little captain?¡±
After saying that, Arruda raised his head and laughed, and several Turkic captains next to him also laughed. Yang Yuanqing showed a helpless expression and asked Luo Shixin: "This Turkic warrior wants to challenge you, how dare you Do you accept the challenge?"
Luo Shixin stretched out his little finger again and said in a Turkic way: "If he is afraid of death, he might as well not compete!"
Arruda¡¯s wild nature was aroused. He stared at Luo Shixin and shouted, ¡°Okay, we will fight to the death!¡±
Utu shouted angrily again: "Aruda, I order you in the name of the Golden Arrow Consort, you are not allowed to act recklessly, sit down!"
Arruda said disdainfully to Yang Yuanqing: "Manager Yang, since your people want me to fight to the death, I can accept the challenge. Do you agree?"
This time, Yang Yuanqing was not embarrassed. He nodded, "Since you are determined to fight to the death, I won't stop you. Just follow the Turkic rules. Everyone here is a witness. Go and prepare!"
The news that the fierce general Arruda was going to duel with the young Sui commander spread throughout the Turkic army. Dueling with force has always been a grand event that the Turks yearned for, not to mention a fight to the death. The 20,000 Turkic cavalry had already finished the duel. The crowd was tightly packed, and everyone's face was filled with anticipation. Even Wanda, the great chief of the Mongolian tribe, heard the news and came with dozens of nobles from the Mongolian tribe to watch the battle.
The Turks treated the duel very seriously. They used lime to draw a white circle with a radius of about five acres. The duel between the two sides was held in the white circle. Life and death in the white circle were determined by nature. But among them, Fang Ruo Escaping the white circle means admitting defeat, and the other side is not allowed to kill. In this case, the losing side must offer a hundred sheep to the winning side as a ransom. The duel between the two sides is over. If the side in the white circle is killed, It was also the end of the duel.
Luo Shixin was eager to give it a try. He had already packed up his armor and Overlord's gun, carried a pot of arrows, and hung two stone guides on his horse. Yang Yuanqing liked this young and vigorous junior brother very much. In him, he saw the shadow of himself in the past.
"This man's weapon is a long-handled copper hammer. To strike, you have to pull the arm out. He's not fast enough, so you don't have to fight too hard with him. You can use his speed to assassinate him when there is a gap when he pulls away his strength. "
The place of Yang Yuanqing?Pei Xingyan was not allowed to come up, because Pei Xingyan's strength was slightly weaker than Luo Shixin's. Luo Shixin was born with supernatural power, and even Yang Yuanqing had to avoid the sudden burst of force. More importantly, Luo Shixin was young and could easily make the opponent arrogant.
At this time ¡®Dang! , a bell rang, and the competition began. Luo Shixin nodded, got on his horse, and galloped into the white circle. The horse he was riding was a thousand-mile horse captured by Yang Yuanqing from Xue Yantuo's army. It had strong limbs and an unusually powerful horse. Luo Shixin loved it very much, but this horse was only temporarily lent to him by Yang Yuanqing to ride.
Yang Yuanqing promised him last night that as long as he kills Arruda today, the horse will be given to him, which made Luo Shixinxing excited.
Luo Shixin, a newborn calf, is not afraid of tigers. He brandished his overlord spear and galloped his horse in the white circle, attracting cheers, but it was the cavalry of the Mengwu tribe who applauded him.
At this time, the fierce general Arruda also appeared. He was famous in Turks for his immense strength. His weapon was a long-handled copper hammer, weighing one hundred to ten kilograms. Unlike Yang Yuanqing and others who had been building foundations and practicing martial arts since childhood, he He is also born with divine power and can use weapons weighing more than a hundred kilograms, which is extremely rare.
Arruda roared, like thunder in the clouds. He wielded the sledgehammer and rushed towards Luo Shixin. Luo Shixin was just a young man, which filled his heart with contempt. He was confident that the hammer could crush the young Sui general. , let Yang Yuanqing know how powerful the Turkic generals are.
Yang Yuanqing saw that he was powerful and powerful, and it was the first time he had seen him among the Turks. He was also a little worried. After all, Luo Shixin was young, and Yang Yuanqing was worried about his lack of experience, so he whispered to Qin Qiong: "You can shoot arrows in critical situations." !¡±
Qin Qiong nodded, he was already prepared. Luo Shixin was Yang Yuanqing's junior brother and also his adopted brother. His mother liked this godson the most. Of course, Qin Qiong couldn't let him make any mistakes.
The two war horses ran closer and closer. They both roared at the same time, brandishing their weapons and smashing at each other. All they heard was 'Dang! , a loud noise, like thunder exploding, the sound was so harsh that many soldiers covered their ears.
In this attack, the two were evenly matched, and no one had the upper hand. The two weapons collapsed at the same time. The two of them turned their horses around, neither of them dared to underestimate the other. But it was Aluda who was more surprised. His weapon could only smash , unlike Luo Shixin's Overlord Spear, which can still stab. If his strength fails to gain the upper hand, his situation will be in danger.
"Well done!" Arruda roared, urging his horse to rush forward, blocking his waist and hitting Luo Shixin.
This time, Luo Shixin did not fight with him head-on. He rode his horse to avoid the opponent's attack. The Overlord's spear shook, and the tip of the spear stabbed Aruda's chest like lightning. This was Master Zhang Xutuo's Thirteen Moves. The first move in the sword technique, 'Splitting the Mountain.' Yang Yuanqing also changed this move into a sword technique. No matter what weapon, the strength is the same weird, it seems slow, but in fact it is fast.
Seeing that the gun speed was not fast, Arruda didn't take the gun seriously. He turned sideways and hit Luo Shixin's horse in the belly with the hammer. This was one of his unique moves. He was confident that he could knock down Luo Shixin's horse with the hammer. , as long as the war horse falls, the opponent will definitely die.
But just when his hammer was still a foot away from the opponent's horse's belly, Aluda suddenly found that the big iron gun had appeared in front of his chest. It had become so fast at some point that he had no way to hide. Da knew that his death was coming, and he screamed in despair, 'Poof! , the big iron gun pierced his chest mercilessly, the tip of the gun emerged from the vest, and a stream of blood spurted out. Arruda's heart was pierced, and he died on the spot.
Luo Shixin struggled with his arms and lifted Arruda's tall and tall body high in the air. The Turkic soldiers around him were terrified, and then they cheered like thunder, cheering for the winner.
At this time, Yang Yuanqing and Wu Tu exchanged glances. Wu Tu's eyes were full of gratitude. Since Arruda died, the entire Guards Army belonged to him.
