Chapter 2256: Xuanyuan VS Kong Peng
Soon, the sky became brighter and another night passed.
From cavalry combat to infantry combat, from weapon fighting to hand-to-hand combat, Sun Lingming and Yang Jian fought for two whole days and two nights, but still couldn't decide the winner.
Even after two days and two nights of watching the battle, ordinary soldiers still couldn't tell anything, but fierce generals such as Kong Peng and Gao Chong could see the difference between the two.
Sun Lingming's defense and strength are superior to Yang Jian. According to common sense, he can definitely defeat Yang Jian, but Yang Jian's boxing skills, speed and recovery ability are stronger than Sun Lingming.
The two were equally matched in terms of weapons, but in terms of fists and kicks, Yang Jian was slightly better.
The Monkey Boxing practiced by Sun Lingming is a dexterous and fast attack. Combined with his natural strength, it is definitely one of the most suitable boxing techniques for him, but Yang Jian's Yuqing Boxing is obviously more advanced.
This also resulted in Sun Lingming often having to take several punches from Yang Jian before he could hit Yang Jian once.
If it weren't for his great external skills and strong enough internal defense, Sun Lingming would have been beaten to the ground by Yang Jian.
Relying on the advantages of speed and boxing skills, Yang Jian avoided most of Sun Lingming's attacks and hit more times than Sun Lingming. In addition, his recovery ability was faster than Sun Lingming's, and the overall consumption was smaller.
It is precisely because of these four reasons that Yang Jian was able to fight Sun Lingming for a whole night even though his attack and defense were inferior to Sun Lingming's.
After another night of fighting, Sun Lingming and Yang Jian reached their limit.
Sun Lingming's armor has been completely shattered, and the clothes inside have turned into rags. Most of his exposed skin is bruised and purple, and his face is even more bruised and swollen. He is in an extremely embarrassed state, and there is no trace of the demeanor of the Qitian Divine General. .
As for Yang Jian, his injuries were no less serious than Sun Lingming's. Not only was his face pale, his body was covered in bruises, and his iron fists were even full of cracks.
Sun Lingming's indestructible body was too hard and had an anti-armor effect. Every time Yang Jian punched him, he had to bear a certain amount of reaction force.
He fought thousands of moves with Sun Lingming in one night, and beat Sun Lingming nearly a hundred times in total. His fists were all swollen and his bones were about to crack. He still couldn't beat Sun Lingming to the ground. Instead, he was beaten twenty or thirty times. I can hardly hold on from the punch.
Now both of them have reached their limit, and they are just holding on with their will.
Both of them were breathing heavily, staring at each other while their movements recovered and their injuries were relieved, but they soon fought again.
Boom, boom, boom...
This is no longer a battle of martial arts, but a battle of wills. Whoever can persevere will be the final winner, and the other party will pay the price with his life.
Of course, it's also possible that both sides suffer.
On the city tower, after seeing Yang Jian's tragic situation, Yang Biao and Yang Xiu could not bear to look at it anymore.
After all, Yang Jian was from the Yang family, so how could they watch Yang Jian fight to the death.
Yang Biao said to Li Shimin anxiously: "My lord, please withdraw your troops quickly. If we continue to fight, Yang Jian will really die in the battle."
Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "General Yang Jian said before the battle that if he doesn't win this battle, he will die. Even if I offer gold, I'm afraid I won't be able to recruit him back unless I can defeat Sun Lingming."
"If we can win, we won't have to fight for two days." Yang Biao said.
Li Shimin was speechless. In fact, Yang Jian had done well enough, but he still held a hope in his heart that he could defeat Sun Lingming, but now it seemed that he was still too reluctant.
Li Shimin also saw that Yang Jian might really die if he continued to fight, so he said: "Ming Jin, call General Yang Jian back."
"promise."
Nail, Nail, Nail...
There was a sound of gold ringing from the Tang Army, and then the gates of Chang'an City opened to welcome Yang Jian's return. However, to everyone's surprise, Yang Jian did not return, but stayed outside the city to continue the duel with Sun Lingming.
"Yang Jian, Li Shimin has already paid his dues, and you still won't leave? Do you want to disobey your orders?"
Sun Lingming really didn't want to fight Yang Jian anymore. He couldn't win, but he didn't want to lose, which made him feel uncomfortable, so he was ready to give Yang Jian a step to let him go.
As soon as Sun Lingming finished speaking, he was punched in the forehead again because of his distraction. He was hit so hard that stars appeared in his eyes and he almost fainted.
"I will not accept your order from the outside."
Yang Jian gasped, secretly thinking it was a pity.
If he had been in his prime, he would have knocked Sun Lingming unconscious with that punch just now. Unfortunately, he didn't have much strength now and it would be difficult to cause substantial damage to Sun Lingming.
Sun Lingming shook his head, quickly recovered, and then said angrily: "You madman, you simply don't know what is good and what is good. Do you think you are the only one who is not afraid of death? If you die together, you will die together. Who is afraid of whom?"
"Then come on, kill."
Nail, Nail, Nail...
The sound of ringing gold resounded through the city gate, but the battle still continued. After seeing this scene, both Qin and Tang Dynasties fell silent.
"Is Yang Jian crazy? He wants to die, and he also wants to use General Sun as his backer." Meng Yi said with a puzzled look.
Gao Chong looked at the changes in the battle situation on the field, and his expression suddenly changed: "No, Old Sun has been really angry. If this continues, these two people may die together."
"Ming Jin." Li Jing ordered with a serious look.
Now that the good situation is under his control, there is no need to let Sun Lingming, a peerless warrior who has not yet reached his peak and has unlimited potential, and Yang Jian perish together for the sake of a temporary battle of morale.
Nail, Nail, Nail...
Mingjin sounded again, but this was from Qin.
When Sun Ling heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and a trace of struggle flashed across his face, but he finally chose to obey the order. After all, this was equivalent to giving him a step down.
Zixia is still waiting for him to return to Luoyang. He doesn't want to die here with Yang Jian, a madman.
"You're lucky. Next time I see you, I'll take your head."
After saying these harsh words, Sun Lingming turned around and left, picking up the golden cudgel before leaving.
Yang Jian did not chase after him, and watched Sun Lingming leave. He felt relieved but also a little bitter at the same time.
This battle was the one in which he was in the best condition and had the strongest combat power, but he still failed to defeat Sun Lingming with his strength. Forcing Sun Lingming to withdraw voluntarily was not what he expected.
The Tang army on Chang'an City gave out bursts of cheers. Yang Jian didn't care about such a victory. They did. No matter what the process was, as long as they won in the end.
As soon as Yang Jian returned to the city, he could no longer hold on and fainted on his horse. He was then pushed away by the doctor for treatment.
Yang Jian was just one of Li Shimin's trump cards. He didn't expect Yang Jian to defeat Sun Lingming at the beginning. It was Li Shimin's purpose to let Yang Jian and Sun Lingming fight in such a way that both sides would lose and Sun Lingming would not be able to participate in the next battle.
Li Shimin's real ace is actually Kong Peng. After all, Kong Peng has a record of defeating Lu Bu one-on-one. Besides Sun Lingming, there should be no one in the Qin army who can beat Kong Peng one-on-one.
"Kong Peng, the rest is up to you."
Li Shimin said solemnly, this was also his method of subduing Kong Peng.
Li Shimin knew that Kong Peng was not interested in Li Tang, so if he wanted to conquer him, he had to conquer him first, so as to deepen the relationship between the other party and the Tang Dynasty.
Nowadays, the best way to achieve Kong Peng's success is to let him turn the tide on his own and save the Tang Dynasty from the fire and water.
"Peng will definitely live up to the expectations of King Tang."
Kong Peng rode Li Shimin's horse and confidently went out to challenge the city. He knew this was a good opportunity to become famous.
The time when Fenglingdu defeated Lu Bu, he was not famous among Kong Peng. After all, he had just defeated Lu Bu not long ago, and before he could continue to show off, he was defeated by Sun Lingming.
This time Sun Lingming was injured and unable to fight. No one in the Qin army was his opponent. It was a great opportunity for him to use the generals of the Qin army as a stepping stone to become famous all over the world.
"My name is Kong Peng. Is there any Qin general who dares to fight me to the death?"
Seeing Kong Peng come to the front to challenge, Li Jing couldn't help but fell into silence. Now he finally knew the confidence of General Li Shimin. It turned out that he had such a trump card.
Li Jing didn't know that Kong Peng was also in Chang'an. If he had known, he would not have agreed to Sun Lingming's participation in the battle in the first place.
Now Sun Lingming has been injured, and Gao Chong and Yuwen Chengdu have not recovered from their injuries. The only generals that can be dispatched are Gao Chong, Jin Tai, Arthur, Zhao Yun, etc., but they are obviously no match for Kong Peng one-on-one.
In the case of a group fight, even if they win, the gains outweigh the losses for the Qin Army. On the contrary, it will enhance Kong Peng's strength from the side. After all, those who can be beaten by the Qin Army are not ordinary people.
Li Jing ignored Que Que's desire to try, and Gao Chong and other generals who were about to invite a fight, ordered: "Send the order and attack directly..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a general rushing out of the formation on horseback. It was Gongsun Xuanyuan, the number one general in Youzhou.
"The unfilial son who rebelled against the clan, Gongsun Xuanyuan of Youzhou, has come to take your head."
After hearing Gongsun Xuanyuan's self-report, Kong Peng's information about Xuanyuan immediately emerged in his mind.
Gongsun Xuanyuan, a native of Youzhou, ranked 12th on the general list, with a record of...
Comprehensive evaluation: He is very strong, but his performance is unstable. He is weaker than Lu Bu and is definitely not my opponent. He will definitely win in the 50th round, and the execution may be beyond the 80th round.
"Gongsun Xuanyuan is a man with strong strength, great reputation, and a high ranking. He is suitable to be my stepping stone to become famous."
Kong Peng sneered in his heart, then raised the sword in his hand and shouted: "You are so shameless, Xuanyuan, today is the day you die."
"kill……"
