Lei Dapeng has practiced martial arts for many years and has rich experience in battle. He quickly thought of a way to reverse the situation. He suddenly rushed forward and twisted the handle of the knife hard at the same time.
It turns out that this Liuhe sword is specially made. The handle can be disassembled. After splitting into two, the long sword becomes a short sword, which makes it much more agile when dancing.
An inch short and an inch dangerous!
Lei Dapeng continued to rush forward, trying to close the distance between the two sides, and then used the short knife in his hand to win in close combat!
Qin Feng was not afraid of this, and quickly wrapped the rope around his arm. The chain gun turned into a spur again, and he stepped forward to fight.
Isn't it just that one inch is shorter and one inch is more dangerous? My military thorn is shorter and more dangerous!
"Whizzing!"
Stab, pierce, pick, wipe, scratch... Under Qin Feng's control, the military thorn seemed to turn into a beautiful ghost butterfly, which could harvest human lives as long as it waved its wings.
Neither long-range combat nor close combat was able to gain any advantage, but he became more and more passive. Lei Dapeng couldn't help but become anxious, and when his heart became anxious, his mind became confused.
His mind was confused, and his moves became even more confusing. As a result, he was beaten back step by step, sweating profusely, and was completely at a disadvantage!
After fighting for more than ten rounds, Lei Dapeng's movements slowed down a little, and there was a flaw in his heart. Qin Feng seized the opportunity and stabbed the military thorn at him like lightning...
'It's over...it's over this time! '
Seeing that he could no longer dodge, Lei Dapeng could only close his eyes and wait for death. At the same time, in the last moment of his life, he thought of many people and things...
My father died on the battlefield and his body was completely gone!
A mother who works hard and is exhausted to death!
He is kind-hearted and often helps his fellow villagers!
There is also a gentle and virtuous wife, and the child in her belly will be born in three months. I don’t know whether it is a boy or a girl. Does it look like me or my wife?
…
Well, I think of so many people and things, why am I not dead yet?
Lei Dapeng opened his eyes in confusion and found that he was completely unscathed. It turned out that Qin Feng was merciful and withdrew the military spurs at the critical moment.
Heroes cherish heroes, heroes cherish heroes!
Lei Dapeng had a good impression of Qin Feng. Similarly, Qin Feng had a good impression of Lei Dapeng and admired his martial arts and character, so he did not kill him.
"Thank you for your mercy. Lei owes you a life, and I will pay you back in the future!"
"Haha, it's just a martial arts competition. General Lei, don't take it too seriously!"
"A real man has a clear sense of grudges. If I say I will give you a life, I will definitely give you a life sooner or later. However, I will not let it go so easily. I will definitely ask you for advice again if I have the opportunity in the future!"
"Okay, I'm always waiting for you!"
…
Lei Dapeng, on the other hand, simply clasped his fists and saluted before walking out of the competition arena.
Lost!
Lei Dapeng, who is known as "the most powerful general in Yulin Town", unexpectedly lost, to a little-known kid - Qin Feng!
This result was beyond the expectations of most people. There was silence in the small school military field, and then there were two completely different reactions: some people were happy and laughing, such as Mouse, Dong Tianbao... and others sitting in the stands Yang He, the governor, raised his beard with a tall smile.
Some people were dejected, as if they were mourning for a heir, because they all bet on Lei Dapeng, and they lost miserably... The person who lost the most among them was none other than the commander-in-chief, Jiang Rang, who had bet a total of 40,000 taels of silver. The one who made a fortune ended up losing everything!
A total of 40,000 taels of silver. It was the 'hard-earned money' that I had saved by embezzling military pay, stealing ordnance, raiding military households... and using all kinds of means, and it was just gone?
You still have the right to form a new army, just give it up like this?
Not willing to give in, not willing to give in!
But Lei Dapeng has lost, what can he do?
If it had been anyone else, there would have been nothing he could do, but Jiang Rang was different. His nickname of 'Nine-tailed Fox' was not for nothing. He rolled his two dark eyes a few times and immediately came up with a good idea.
…
According to the agreement, the winner of this competition will be solely responsible for forming a new army.
Now that Qin Feng had won, the Governor-General Yang He was overjoyed and was about to make the appointment in public. Unexpectedly, the General-in-Chief Jiang Rang stood up first and said: "Sir Governor, wait a minute. The general thinks that Qin Feng is responsible for forming the new army, and there is something wrong with it." place."
"Oh, what's wrong?"
"Returning to the Governor: There is no doubt that Qin Feng has superb martial arts and is the most courageous among the three armies. However, as the saying goes: the soldiers must be elite, not numerous, and the generals must be brave, not strategic. If you want to become the leader of an army, , It is not enough to have the courage of an ordinary man, you must have an extraordinary strategy and be proficient in the method of arranging troops.
The general suggested that Qin Feng and Lei Dapeng compete again. This time it will not be a competition of martial arts, but strategy. If Qin Feng wins again, he will be solely responsible for forming a new army. The general will definitely have no objections. ! "
Jiang Rang's calculations were very shrewd. His adopted son Lei Dapeng joined the army at the age of sixteen and served in the army for ten years. During this period, he experienced dozens of battles, large and small, and accumulated rich military experience. , and is proficient in the formation of troops.
As for Qin Feng, he is only eighteen years old this year. He has been living in a small place like Qisha Fort before. Not to mention military experience, he has never even entered a military camp.
Comparing the two, unless Qin Feng is a natural military genius, Lei Dapeng will definitely win this round.
As long as Lei Dapeng wins, he can turn the unfavorable situation around. What he is worried about now is what to do if the Governor-General Yang He does not agree to another round. Should he encourage other generals to put some pressure together?
"Well, Mr. Jiang's words make sense. In that case, let Qin and Lei have another try." Unexpectedly, Governor Yang He agreed, and he agreed very happily.
What's going on? Have you been deceived?
No!
Yang He is a person who distinguishes between public and private affairs. The reason why Qin Feng is responsible for forming the new army is not because Qin Feng saved his life, but because Qin Feng has military talents.
During the recent period, Yang and Qin often discussed things together, and the most discussed topic was military. In this regard, Qin Feng was eloquent and talked endlessly about ancient and modern battle cases, as well as the methods of attacking, killing, and defending. , showing extremely high military ability.
Qin Feng not only talked about it, but also took action. As a lieutenant general, he conducted some training for the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion, including formation formation, unarmed combat, weapon combat, latent reconnaissance, and night fighting. .
After such training, the mental state and combat literacy of the soldiers in the Governor's Mansion have been greatly improved. When Qin Feng is mentioned, everyone gives thumbs up and praises him.
Therefore, when faced with the proposal of another competition, Yang He did not refuse, and took this opportunity to let Qin Feng show off his talents, establish his prestige in the army, and leave Jiang Rang and others speechless.
However, Qin and Lei competed with fists, kicks, targets, and weapons, which exhausted their mental and physical strength. In addition, it was getting late, so they couldn't compete anymore today.
After a little discussion, they decided to let the two of them take a good rest. Three days later, the two of them competed again on strategies and formation methods.
After the discussion was decided, people left the school military field and went back to rest.
At the same time, the news that Qin Feng defeated Lei Dapeng in three formations spread throughout Yulin City at an extremely fast speed and caused a huge sensation.
No one thought that the mighty Yulin Town's number one warrior would lose to a little-known boy. This was even more surprising than a rabbit kicking an eagle. For a while, people were talking in the streets and alleys, and some were dejected. The former are good things, and the latter are good for gambling.
Regarding the martial arts competition between Qin and Lei, a big businessman named 'Anonymous' previously made a handicap:
If you bet on the Thunder Dapeng, you will pay one if you bet on eight.
If you bet on Qin Feng's victory, you'll pay eight if you bet on one.
The gamblers in the city took out their money one after another to beat Lei Dapeng to win. As a result, they lost completely. Naturally, they were dejected and felt like they were mourning for their heirs.
But soon, these gamblers cheered up again, because the opportunity to make money came. In response to Qin and Lei competing again, the 'Anonymous' businessman opened a new handicap, and the above The situation is the same:
If you bet on Lei Dapeng's victory, you'd pay eight if you bet on one.
If you bet on Qin Feng to win, you will pay one if you bet on eight.
As a result, the gamblers became excited again. After repeated comparisons, the vast majority of them still placed their money on Lei Dapeng, while very few won against Qin Feng.
This is not surprising. Lei Dapeng has been in the army for ten years and has experienced dozens of battles. He has rich experience in arranging troops and formations, while Qin Feng is a newbie and has no military experience at all.
Comparing the two, Qin Feng's victory over Lei Dapeng before was already a miracle, and miracles cannot happen continuously, so gamblers were still more optimistic about Lei Dapeng and placed bets on him.
Among them, the one who betted the most was Jiang Rang, the general. In the spirit of selling iron, he collected another 40,000 taels of silver and put it all in, vowing to get back what he had lost.
…
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was time for the second competition.
Still in the small school military field, on the high platform, the governor-Yang He sat in the middle, the commander-in-chief Jiang Rang sat beside him, and there were also deputy generals, staff generals, guerrilla generals...a total of more than a hundred people, arranged on both sides. .
Qin Feng and Lei Dapeng came on stage to compete.
How to compare strategies and formation of troops?
It is obviously unrealistic for the two of them to each lead an army and engage in a real fight to see who is higher and who is lower.
There is only one simple method to use - talk on paper!
Just pose a military problem and let Qin and Lei answer it. Whoever has the most insightful answer will be the winner!
The martial arts examination in the Ming Dynasty used this method to select talents. For example, the famous Qi Jiguang took part in the martial arts examination. Because of his outstanding strategy, he won the top prize in martial arts!
As for the exam questions, for the sake of fairness, it was decided to draw lots.
Write hundreds of classic battle stories from ancient times to the present on small pieces of paper. After folding them, place them in a copper basin, and then shake them vigorously a few times to mix them together.
Logically speaking, Governor Yang He should be in charge of drawing lots, but Yang He waved his hand: "General Jiang, you can draw lots."
"How dare you overstep your humble position in front of the Governor!"
"It doesn't matter, you can draw lots, lest anyone think that the governor will be secretly partial!"
"Hehe, then the general is overstepping his bounds!"
To be honest, Jiang Rang was indeed worried that during the lottery, Yang He would secretly manipulate the situation, and do something like "switching the sky, secretly revealing the problem" or something like that.
Yang He also knew this, so Jiang Rang came to draw lots to show his fairness and selflessness.
His little thought was exposed, Jiang Rang couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and then shamelessly took out a piece of paper from the copper basin and opened it in public. There were five words written on it - the Battle of Salhu!
