Chapter 176
Cheng Dali frowned as he looked at Du Mao below the city wall, thinking to himself that this old man had indeed not died, but how did he end up surrendering to the Rong tribe.
"Du Lao Da, I respect you as a man of honor. How can you collaborate with the Rong tribe and be their accomplice? Aren't you afraid that your ancestors' tombs will be dug up? Quickly put down your arms and join me in resisting the barbarians together!"
"Your surname is Cheng, don't waste words, come down quickly and let me knock your head with one stick."
"Stubbornly unrepentant." Cheng Dairen waved his hand and shouted down at Qin Mian: "Take him out!"
Qin Man held a gun in one hand and patted his horse with the other, charging towards Du Lao Da.
"Traitorous dog, die!"
"Welcome!"
One spear thrust forward, Du Mou dodged low and swung his stick at Qin Man's horse. The spear moved downwards to stab Du Mou in the back, both sides exchanged moves quickly, fighting with great danger and urgency.
The onlookers were shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. This kind of killing move was truly the skill of battlefield slaughter, each move aimed at taking the opponent's life. Even if Cheng Da Lei wasn't on the battlefield, he could still feel the chill of the killing aura. If it were him himself, he would absolutely not dare to be in the midst of it. In such a confrontation, even a slight mistake would mean losing one's head and dying on the battlefield.
Chi Mei recognized this man and knew he was a warrior who had defected to the Xiaoshan faction, his master being Hu Lu Xiong. What Chi Mei didn't expect was that this man would turn out to be so formidable.
It turns out that the empire also has such a good man, and it is no weaker than the tribal master.
Unfortunately, such an expert turned out to be under Hu Luoxiong's command.
In the blink of an eye, both sides had exchanged several rounds, and finally two horses turned around to kill each other. The crowd only felt dizzy and couldn't see the detailed process of the two men's actions.
Clang!
A loud crash, the iron spear and wolf-tooth club clashed together. Both sides were powerful generals with astonishing arm strength, at this moment they were locked in a fierce struggle, their faces revealed bulging veins, beads of sweat as large as soybeans falling from their foreheads.
Cheng Dali held his bow and arrow on the city wall, swaying back and forth, wanting to take aim at Du Mao.
"Great master, isn't it ungentlemanly to shoot a hidden arrow?" Xu Shenji.
"Treat the enemy like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, without any mercy." Cheng Dalai glanced around for a while and finally shook his head: "No way, it's too far away."
"Big boss, you think Qin Man can win?"
"Qin Man and Du Mao's skills should be evenly matched, if one wants to win, they'll have to come up with an extraordinary move."
Clang!
Xu Shenji looked carefully and saw that Qin Man's body suddenly stopped, and was actually pressed down by Du Mao's wolf-toothed club.
"The master of the house is not good."
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time."
Qin Man was pressed down on the horse saddle bridge, Du Mao swung a big stick towards him. Suddenly, Qin Man on the horse saddle stood up straight, and the gun tip pierced into the horse's head.
The fierce horse suddenly raised its head and threw Du Mou to the ground. At this moment, Qin Man grasped his long spear tightly and stabbed at Du Mou on the ground.
"Damn you, die!"
He only saw the iron spear thrusting towards him, and at the critical moment of life and death, Du Mao suddenly rolled over, got up and escaped. Qin Man chased after him on horseback, and at this time, several fast horses came from the Beidi tribe's large camp to pick up Du Mao.
"Qin Man, poor devil, don't chase, come back and change people!"
Qin Man was furious and resentful that he hadn't killed Du Mao, but only chased him too far and easily fell into the ambush of the Rong tribe. He viciously spat a mouthful, turned his horse's head and entered the city gate.
"You riffraff of the Rong tribe, do you know your place now? Now surrender and kneel down to beg for mercy. I, the general, will impart one or two moves to you, which will be enough for you to benefit from for a lifetime."
"Imperial people hitting imperial people, what's there to be proud of? Isn't your specialty dog-eat-dog infighting?"
Cheng Dalai's eyebrows twitched twice, and he said viciously: "Come on!"
Zhao Zilong rode out of the city gate on his white horse with a long spear.
"Hah, you're really out of options, aren't you? You've actually sent a kid to die."
"Doll, go back quickly, drink a few more years of milk and then come back to join the battle."
"Alright, alright." Chi Mei waved her hand: "Whoever goes and kills this doll."
"I'm going, I'm going."
"Don't anyone try to snatch it from me, this time I'll take care of it myself!"
"You're already sixty years old, why don't you take a rest?"
Suddenly a horse rushed out, and on it was a person with disheveled hair, holding two curved knives.
"Hey, how did he get ahead of us!"
Two horses collided, and this soldier was knocked off his horse by Zhao Zilong with one spear.
The Rong tribe's eyes widened and their mouths were agape, unable to close.
"Who?"
Zhao Zilong wielded his spear, and the people whose faces were swept by its tip suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.
Zhao Zilong defeated seven people in a row, winning every battle.
The Haizhen side was proud and arrogant, while the Chibei side was like eggplants that had been frostbitten, unable to lift their heads.
This doll is so fierce!
"Fourth Master, come back."
Seeing Zhao Zilong was already exhausted, continuing to fight would be dangerous, so Cheng Da ordered him to retreat.
He laughed triumphantly on the city wall: "Trash is trash, not worth a blow. I forgot to mention that your Hu'erle Xiao Wangzi from the Rong tribe was also killed by him."
"He was murdered!"
Hongyan's heart was filled with joy and surprise. Hu'erle was the most favored child of the Northern Barbarian King, and he had a high reputation in the Northern Barbarian tribe. If he were still alive, Hongyan would never have had a chance to rise to power. It was only because Hu'erle died that the other princes had an opportunity to fight for power.
This is what Chi Mei rejoices in her heart. What's shocking is that even a fierce man like Hu Er Le has died at the hands of this doll, and this doll has indeed lived up to its reputation.
The morale is currently low, obviously affected by Zhao Zilong, a quick victory must be achieved to boost the morale.
The red eyebrow patted the horse and moved forward, stopping outside the range of fire, shouting loudly:
"Are you, surnamed Cheng, daring enough to come out of the city and fight a battle? If you can defeat my next general, I will immediately withdraw my troops."
"Hmph, you with the surname Chi, I am a commander, not some lone hero. Such profound principles, your Rong tribe's dregs wouldn't understand." Cheng Dalai wasn't stupid either; he only had Qin Man and Zhao Zilong who could be used among his subordinates, whereas the Red Eyebrows had experts in abundance. He didn't want to go die unnecessarily.
"Are you afraid? If you're afraid of us, quickly open the gate and surrender. I'll spare your life and give you a chance to hold the reins. The Red Eyebrows are not enough to provoke outside the city. Whether Cheng Dalai comes out or not doesn't matter, as long as they're intimidated, it can boost the morale of our troops."
Cheng Dàléi completely ignored him.
"The great master, why don't you go down and have a fight with him?" Xu Shenji said.
"Huh, you must really hate me to death." Cheng Da Lei.
"Now the enemy is below, shouting and taunting, which is unfavorable to our morale. If the commander-in-chief personally takes to the battlefield, it will surely boost our army's morale."
"This..." Cheng Da Lei thought for a moment, he had indeed offended the mountain bandits of Hamao Zhai, although they hadn't openly opposed him yet, but there were grievances against him within the stronghold.
If there is this victory, or just a fight, it may be able to calm their resentment and also increase one's prestige in the mountain stronghold.
"Brother Qin, Brother Zi Long, you two must protect me. If I'm in trouble, come and rescue me at any time."
Cheng Dali rode a horse with an axe, without forgetting to instruct Qin Man and others.
Jian Cheng Dalai came out, Chi Mei coldly snorted and waved his hand: "Release that monster!"
Right behind, Cheng Darui saw a slave-like Han man walking out of the Rong tribe camp. Chi Mei threw him a rifle and said, "Lin's surname, kill him, I'll let you leave."
