Unfortunately, his actions took too long. Qi Wei had already seen all his intentions. When Dong Qing tilted his body with all his strength, the thin sword in Qi Wei's hand circled and moved towards Dong Qing more quickly.
Looking from a distance, the thin sword was getting closer and closer to Dong Qing. In the blink of an eye, it was less than a foot away from Dong Qing. Dong Qing, who originally wanted to avoid it, saw the sword edge approaching but had no strength to use it. In fear, Dong Qing He was ready to die.
But Qi Wei didn't seem to want to kill him, and the sword finally stopped on his shoulder. However, because he didn't know Qi Wei's purpose, at that moment Dong Qing seemed to have walked into the underworld.
When Qi Wei stopped moving, the horse under his crotch completely lost its balance and fell to the ground with him.
"General Dong, you lost." When Dong Qing stood up in embarrassment, Qi Wei returned to his horse with a smile. To everyone's surprise, he spared Dong Qing's life.
"Shi Ke can't be humiliated, why don't you kill me?" Dong Qing, who was already prepared to die, walked between life and death, and saw Qi Wei riding away, feeling puzzled.
"The real battle hasn't started yet. Why does General Dong care about winning or losing in a pre-battle battle?" Qi Wei turned around and smiled. Qi Wei's smile was not pretty, but it couldn't be annoying.
"Humph, stop talking nonsense!" Taking Qi Wei's reaction as a humiliation, Dong Qing felt angry and helpless inside, only hating that he was not as good as others.
"If General Dong wants to die and can kill himself, why waste my good intentions?" Without looking back, Qi Wei continued to drive his horse down the city.
"You?" Choked by Qi Wei's response, Dong Qing was speechless for a moment. Dong Qing glared at Qi Wei but was speechless.
At the same time, on the city tower, Lan Xu and a group of Star Army generals frowned one after another. Dong Qinghui's defeat to Qi Wei may not have been unexpected, but they still could not accept the result calmly, because the two of them did not face off for long. , they were not even sure about Qi Wei's strength.
Just now, Dong Qing lost to Qi Wei with almost no chance of fighting back. He lost so quickly that Lan Xu and other generals felt that Dong Qing's defeat was not honorable enough. Not only that, Lan Xu couldn't see why Qi Wei should be spared. Dong Qing died.
Because it was easier to boost the enemy's morale by killing Dong Qing according to common sense. Because he didn't know what the enemy general was thinking, Lan Xu could not relax his frown.
"General Dong, if nothing happens, you can go back and resume your duties. I will continue to call for formation." After saying this, Qi Wei ignored Dong Qing and continued to ride towards the city.
Seeing Qi Wei abandoning him and leaving, Dong Qing was even more ashamed and angry. Regardless of whether the other party was hypocritical or had ulterior motives, he would naturally go back and recover now that he was still alive, but he didn't know how he could face Lan Xu and Yi Qian. Colleagues.
"The general has failed in his work, please ask the marshal to punish him." After a period of time, Qi Wei did not shout again before the battle. Dong Qing rode back to the city with a face full of humiliation, and went directly to the city to plead guilty to Lan Xu.
"General Dong, please step back first. What happened just now is due to my commander's poor thinking and has nothing to do with you." The war has not really started yet, and Lan Xu knows that now is not the time to punish Qi Wei.
"The last general's skills are not as good as others, which has damaged the face of our army, so I am willing to accept the blame," Dong Qing felt guilty in his heart. Dong Qing really had no face to face Lan Xu and the generals in the city.
"It's just a battle. It doesn't matter who wins or loses. Don't worry about it, General Dong. I will allow you to take the blame and make meritorious service." The battle was about to begin. After pondering for a moment, Lan Xu decided to encourage Dong Qing to take the blame and make meritorious service.
"Yes," under Lan Xu's repeated emphasis, Dong Qing no longer thought about offsetting his own faults through heavy punishment, but slowly understood Lan Xu's meaning. Since Lan Xu intended for him to make meritorious deeds, he did not want to let him go. Take that chance.
"Marshal Lan, I was lucky enough to defeat one of your generals. Now I have an unkind request. I wonder if Marshal can agree?" Dong Qing just retreated, and Qi Wei's voice came from below. Qi Wei seemed to have grasped the opportunity. Precise.
Following the sound, everyone looked at Qi Wei again, who had won a duel.
"General Qi, it's okay." Facing Qi Wei, Lan Xu became increasingly impatient, but the opponent was a general after all, and he couldn't lose his bearing as a commander just because he had been defeated for a while.
"I heard that the commander of your cavalry camp, General Zhang, is brave enough to win the three armies. No one can defeat him. I wonder if I can go out of the city to compete with this general today?" After winning for a while, Qi Wei not only looked calmer, but also became more arrogant. , the tone of his speech is still full of provocation.
"General Qi must be ignorant of praise and have such arrogance that he can compare with our General Zhang. Doesn't General Qi not understand what self-knowledge is?" Then, before Lan Xu could respond, a hot-tempered general had already launched a round of verbal attacks on Qi Wei. attack.
"I am a general in the army after all. Although I don't have the title of Tiger General like General Zhang, I am still qualified to invite General Zhang to fight." Qi Wei didn't take the star general's ridicule to heart, and faced the city Everyone on the stage smiled slightly, and his intangible temperament gave people an unpredictable feeling.
"General Qi, why did you come to call the formation in person? Is it because there is no one in the army? It's really funny!" Seeing Qi Wei using his identity to talk about things, the general Meng Zhangyu who just answered was even more angry. Under the attention of everyone, , he mocked Qi Wei again.
"Your Excellency, you are laughing. Our coalition has many soldiers and generals, and there are many generals in the army. It is nothing for me to show up in person!" When some star army generals laughed at Qi Wei, Qi Wei went out of his way and became serious in the blink of an eye. stand up.
He didn't speak much, but every word seemed to praise the strength of their coalition, and it was just right to respond to Meng Zhangyu.
"You..." Faced with such a strong counterattack by the enemy general, Meng Zhangyu was speechless, his face turned red, but he could not think of how to refute Qi Wei.
At the same time, the faces of the other Star Army generals looked unhappy because Qi Wei had the upper hand, and they all also didn't know what to say.
After everyone suffered a defeat following Meng Zhangyu, Lan Xu, who was standing in front of everyone, looked calm. Qi Wei was a general of the enemy army after all, and there was nothing unjustifiable about Dong Qing's loss to Qi Wei. , Thinking about it now, he can understand that the reason why Qi Wei did not kill Dong Qing was because of the identity gap between the two of them.
After guessing that Qi Wei did not want to lower his status, Lan Xu's attention stopped at the key issue at hand. Qi Wei challenged Zhang DaDa as a general. This matter cannot be ignored, because compared with Dong Qing, who has a middle-to-upper status, Zhang DaDa His status in the army is extremely unusual. He is not only the commander of the cavalry camp, but also the number one tiger general among the three armies. If Zhang boldly comes forward in person, the various impacts of this pre-war confrontation will be infinitely expanded.
It is not difficult to imagine that if Zhang DaDa wins in the end, the opponent will politely praise Zhang DaDa for his well-deserved reputation to weaken the negative impact of their defeat. However, if the enemy general wins, the opponent will not only kill Zhang DaDa , and will also take the opportunity to slander Zhang DaDa's title of Tiger General. Based on Zhang DaDa's reputation in the military, once the enemy's goal is achieved, the morale of the Star Army will be greatly weakened.
But if they still can't win if they send a general with a lower rank than Zhang Bingdao, the outcome will be embarrassing for them. Now it seems that sending Dong Qing to fight earlier was a wrong decision. If you are not careful in the future, the earlier result will inevitably continue. mistake.
Unexpectedly, they had walked into the trap set by the enemy general unknowingly. After a sudden surprise, Lan Xu felt like he was underestimating the enemy. Of course, the key now was how to break the trap.
It is impossible to let the matter go to this point. The only solution is to continue to send people to fight, but we must not send Zhang Bingdao to do it in the same way. Lan Xu wants to find someone who can win Qi Qi. A great person who won't have his morale affected even if he loses.
To find such a person, you still have to choose from strong generals. Of course, the rank of the person selected cannot be too low. After all, the opponent is a general. If a general is randomly assigned to deal with it, it will also damage his commanding demeanor.
After having a general idea, Lan Xu looked directly at the ranks of first-class wolf generals. There were twelve people in total. Half of them were those who were awarded the title of first-class wolf generals due to outstanding military achievements, and the other half were generals with outstanding strength.
"Marshal, the last general is willing to go out." When Lan Xu's eyes swept over the first-class wolf generals, a general understood what Lan Xu meant and stood up immediately.
"Marshal, please send your last general to defeat the enemy general." Immediately afterwards, another general stood up.
One after another, the two star generals took the initiative to ask for a fight. It was obvious that Lan Xu did not intend to let Zhang Daudao fight in person, because for them this was an opportunity for them to perform. It was just the cultivation of the two people who participated. Both are similar to Dong Qing. Intuitively, Lan Xu cannot tell whether the two of them can beat Qi Wei.
"Marshal, there is someone who recommends me. Is it okay?" When Lan Xu thought that he might have to choose from the ranks of ordinary generals, Yan Nantian, who understood Lan Xu's thoughts, spoke directly.
"General Yan, please speak," Lan Xu turned around and nodded directly.
