Each of the ten city gates in Hangzhou was left with a flying general to guard them, and the rest followed Fang Tianding out of the city.
The Tong Guan Chen Bing canal was on the north bank, and the Confederate army arrayed on the south bank, leaving the Jiangzhang Bridge in the middle as a battlefield.
On Fang Tianding's left and right, Fang Qifu, Deng Yuanjue, the four marshals from east to west, south and north, and seven flying generals lined up with wild geese wings. Lao Cao led his brothers in the back row to capture the formation for him.
There are also hundreds of generals on Tong Guan's side, all of whom are selected from various armies. They are all murderous and eager to show their authority in front of Tong Guan.
Fang Tianding shouted: "Tong Guan, if you lose the battle, you will return to the court with your troops, is it true?"
Tong Guan raised his face slightly and said proudly: "Who am I? Of course I keep my word."
Fang Tianding asked: "So, if you lose, the court will rule across the river with us?"
Tong Guan couldn't laugh or cry: "What a joke! Isn't it true that the whole world is a royal land? You and other traitors will not be punished. If I lose, there will be other generals who will lead the army to attack you."
Fang Tianding and Fang Qifu looked at each other and nodded slightly. They believed Tong Guan's words without doubt.
Tong Guan sneered secretly. A cunning and cunning person like him could naturally see through the other person's mind and deliberately argue with him to show his truth.
At that moment, he pretended to be impatient and said: "Let's stop talking. The two sides will take turns sending people to fight, and the other side will fight. In this first battle, I will let you go first."
Fang Tianding smiled disdainfully and said with a smart face: "Do you think I am a pig-headed person? I am as smart as a monkey! In nine matches, the one who comes out first will have five turns to go first? Don't you think Fang can't settle accounts?" "
Tong Guan looked embarrassed at being exposed: "Then you and I will play four games each. If we can get to the last game, I guess it will be a copper coin."
Fang Tianding nodded proudly: "That's pretty much it!"
Li Kui sincerely praised: "This young leader is a shrewd person. Even a traitor like Tong Guan has never deceived him. If it were Tieniu, he would have been deceived by the eunuch."
Fang Tianding heard it from the front and became more and more satisfied. Lao Cao shook his head secretly: "Winning five out of nine games is not a sure thing. If you fight all nine games, you will suffer a certain loss if you win first."
Fang Tianding whispered: "Uncles, the first game is a good start. We must not make any mistakes. Who is going to win this game?"
Shi Bao said: "My nephew is destined to be a good nephew, but I am not afraid of fighting. Among the officers and soldiers there is a 'Yaksha' Wang De who uses a big axe, and his martial arts skills are not inferior to mine."
The implication is that if the other party sends Wang De to fight, we are not sure of victory.
Deng Yuanjue frowned. His martial arts skills were inferior to those of Shi Bao. If Shi Bao was not confident, he would be average.
Then I heard Fang Qifu say: "In that case, I will fight this time."
Fang Tianding said happily: "Uncle Seven Buddhas will go out and it will be absolutely foolproof."
Fang Qifu smiled and said: "The army is a place where dragons and tigers hide, so I will do my best."
Armed with a green dragon halberd measuring one foot and two feet, he rode his horse slowly onto the bridge and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Ming Zun, the Seven Buddhas of Fang, the envoy of Guangming Zuo, are here to ask for a battle!"
Tong Guan's eyes narrowed and he said secretly: It turns out that this person is Fang Qifu! The Imperial City Department's spies revealed that this person was the most powerful rebel among the rebels, so they sent him out without even thinking about the first battle.
Looking back at the left and right, he picked the one that looked most unpleasant to him: "Mr. Hong, Lieutenant Liang said that you are powerful enough to defeat ten thousand men. Today I will give you the opportunity to take advantage of your position."
This Hong Xiannai was a member of the martial arts examination last year and joined Liang Shicheng. Liang Shicheng took over Gao Qiu's class and served as a Taiwei. Naturally, he also had to cultivate some confidants to work for him, so he specially entrusted Tong Guan to lead the Southern Expedition. Military merit can be easily promoted when you look back.
Hong Xian had never traveled in the world, had limited knowledge and knowledge, and did not know the reputation of Fang Qifu. He thought that Tong Guan really wanted to promote him. He was so happy that his nostrils dilated, and two bunches of nose hair bloomed like flowers. He said loudly: "Thank you, Commander!"
He waved the twenty-seven kilograms of three-stranded sky-holding fork in his hand, clapped his horse and rushed straight to Fang Qifu, shouting: "Hey! Does that traitor know a certain 'Swallowing Sky Tiger' Mr. Hong?" "
Seeing his extraordinary momentum, Tong Guan secretly asked: "Could this person be a tiger general?" He immediately ordered: "Blow the drum to cheer!"
When the Seven Buddhas saw the enemy approaching, they took their time and struck out with a halberd. Hong Xian swung his fork to hit it. Halfway through, he suddenly realized that the halberd seemed to be slow but was actually very fast. He couldn't hit it in time at all. The ghosts of time emerged, and when I was eager to dodge, my throat went cold, and the scene in front of me gradually faded...
Dong Dong... The drumstick knocked down with all his strength, and the battle suddenly came to an end.
The officers, soldiers and drummers were all stunned: The commander ordered us to beat the drums, are we still going to beat them now?
Fang Qifu held a halberd in one hand and picked up Mr. Hong's corpse. He looked at the other person's eyes that had lost their vitality and nodded kindly: "This is the first time Fang has heard of the name 'Swallowing Tiger'. I'm glad to meet you. I'm glad to meet you."
After saying that, he lowered the halberd gently, and Hong Xian's body slid down. Fang Qifu shook off the blood stains on the tip of the halberd, hung the weapon on the victory hook, clasped his fists in the direction of the officers and soldiers, and pulled the reins. The horse was not hasty or slow. , turned around and returned to the main formation.
On the Confederate army formation, the sound of color was like thunder, and everyone in the officers and soldiers formation changed their colors.
Tong Guan let out a long breath, asked people to carry back Hong Xian's body, and looked back at the generals: "We can't lose the second game. Who are you waiting for to win for me?"
But he suddenly thought of a terrible possibility - planning a sneak attack the next night, but six battles in two days, what if he lost five battles in a row?
Wang Zhen responded: "Your Majesty, the last general invites you to fight!"
He is Tong Guan's favorite general. Tong Guan nodded slowly and whispered: "Be more careful. If you are really defeated, surrender and save your life."
Wang Zhen's heart felt hot, and he clasped his fists heavily: "Don't worry, Mr. En, I will fight to the death to win."
After saying that, he spurred his horse and rushed to the bridge. He pointed his gun at Sixing Fang and shouted: "Hey! Yesterday you escaped with your tail between your legs and escaped with a lucky death. If you have the seeds, come forward and fight with me. If you don't, It doesn’t matter if I continue to be your coward.”
He is also very smart, and he is afraid that the other party will show up again, so he simply challenges him by name and makes aggressive remarks.
In his opinion, Si Xingfang's martial arts skills were only between him and Uncle Zhong. If he provoked the other party to fight with anger, it would increase his chances of winning. The only thing he worried about was that Si Xingfang would not be able to avoid the fight with shame.
Si Xingfang's temperament was originally far less hot-tempered than Shi Bao and others. However, he was defeated by Wang Zhen and Wang De yesterday. He lost his troops and almost lost the city gate. Fang Tian Dinghao complained a lot, and he was full of cowardice. At this moment Hearing the king's harsh words, he was so angry that he was so angry that he shouted: "No one can help you today, and I am about to take your life!"
He grabbed the horse's belly fiercely and went to the bridge without hesitation.
Fang Tianding snorted angrily, secretly hating that Si Xingfang had his own way and could not show his skill in scheduling.
There was a fight between the two bridges. Si Xingfang's eyes were filled with fire. With one blow of his sword, there were waves of waves and heavy waves like a Qiantang tide. Onlookers were frightened by it. However, Wang Chen remained calm and danced his gun to protect his body.
You must know that Wang Zhen is good at both broadswords and spears, and he is particularly good at dealing with enemies who use swords. If Si Xingfang's offensive is as surging as the tide of the river, then Wang Zhen's defense is like a bright moon shining on the river, calm and calm. Remove all his cruel tricks one by one.
The fight continued until they reached the age of thirty. Si Xingfang continued to overturn and attack wildly to no avail, and his momentum gradually weakened. A cold light flashed in Wang Zhen's eyes, and his marksmanship suddenly exploded. For a moment, he used all his sharp attacking moves. Only then did Si Xingfang suddenly wake up and know that Having fallen victim to the opponent's aggressive attack, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and wield his sword to defend the door.
If we talk about Si Xingfang's martial arts skills, he is weaker than Wang Zhen. However, the masters compete for one line. Wang Zhen is superior in tactics, and Si Xingfang's disadvantage is difficult to reverse. The two fought for more than 20 moves, and Si Xingfang was superior in tactics. The team's defeat has become clear.
Deng Yuanjue frowned, Shi Bao sighed, and Fang Qifu said: "Tian Ding, we have lost this time. Let someone go and pick up Xiao Si."
Fang Tianding gritted his teeth and sneered: "I didn't send him into battle at all, but he rushed up on his own. Is it just a waste of time?"
Fang Qifu frowned and was slightly angry: "When he comes back, you punish him with military law, and we won't even ask for mercy. Do we still want to see if he dies in battle?"
Fang Tianding was silent. Seeing Shi Bao and others looking at him in surprise, he shook his head and forced a smile and said, "Of course not. Who will pick him up?"
Pang Wanchun galloped out on horseback, holding two arrows in his hand, but when he heard two dang-dang sounds, one hit the Sixing square blade, and the other hit the King's spear point, both of them were startled, and each jumped away on horseback. Pang Wanchun said loudly: " General Song will return, we will admit defeat in this battle."
Wang Zhen burst out laughing immediately, Si Xing's face was on fire, blood penetrated his pupils, and the veins on the back of his hand holding the handle of the knife were tight.
Wang Zhen knew that the other party had a sharp archer and had no chance to kill him. He shouted: "Today is your fortune. When we meet again in the future, I will definitely take your head." After saying this, he rode back.
Si Xingfang stood there, lowering his head and not moving.
Pang Wanchun frowned and shouted: "Commander Commander, victory or defeat is a common matter for military officers. Let's return to the formation first and then worry about it."
He went forward and took the bridle of his mount, and pulled it back to the main formation.
Fang Tianding couldn't help the anger in his heart and said with a cold laugh: "Haha, haha, what a great Marshal Beixuan! Yesterday and today, you have been defeated again and again. It is in vain that my father praised you for being capable and meticulous. Now it seems that, It's not like his old man didn't make a mistake."
As soon as he said this, Fang Qifu and others frowned.
Si Xingfang's face was originally flushed, but now it was as pale as paper. He whispered: "A general who has been defeated repeatedly has no face to live in this world..."
Suddenly he returned the knife and slashed towards his own throat.
Fortunately, Lao Cao noticed something strange in his expression from behind and secretly approached him. At this moment, he hurriedly took action and pressed the handle of his knife. However, Si Xingfang was very determined to die. Although Lao Cao reacted quickly, his neck was still sliced open by the blade. The finger-long wound was bleeding profusely.
Shi Bao and others were immediately thrown into chaos. They never expected Si Xingfang to be so staunch, and they all jumped off their horses and grabbed him with exclaims. Fang Tianding also panicked and stared at Si Xingfang in a daze with wide eyes.
Lao Cao did not hesitate in the face of danger. He stretched out his hand to cover his wound and decisively issued an order: "Seven Buddhas, quickly lead the archers to block the bridge. If the officers and soldiers take the opportunity to kill, they will greet you with random arrows!"
A hint of appreciation flashed in Fang Qifu's eyes, and he said loudly: "Fang, take the order! All the archers will follow me!" He led the archers to block the bridge entrance to prevent the other party from rushing in.
There are different religions: the seven Buddhas fought bravely and became the leader, while the Northern Commander was dejected. Cold words and cold words can penetrate into the bones, and this heart has already turned into ashes.
I came back late today and my writing has been a bit slow. I will make up for it tomorrow.
