Fu Song

Chapter 593 A True Warrior
Wu Da looked desperately at the slowly approaching pursuers in the snowstorm.

The banner of Zhenbei King fluttered in the howling wind, but to them, it was Yan Luo who wanted their lives.

Tens of thousands of women, children and children gathered together, and they had no strength to run anymore.

Gathering all the young men from the Eight Divisions of Dilie, there are only a thousand soldiers left, and including the underage children who can ride horses and carry swords, there are only three thousand soldiers.

how to spell?
Is the enemy army really going to be extinct here today?

"The leader, the leaders of the Meiliji Department and the Chazha Department refused to send troops to help us." De'an, who braved the wind and snow all night without a break, rushed back. Their last hope, Meiliji, who lived near Chita, and The Cha Zha assassination department refused to send troops without hesitation. "These white-eyed wolves, the old man has given them so many benefits over the years, but now that we are in trouble, they are unwilling to lend a helping hand."

"It's always easy to add flowers to the cake, but difficult to send charcoal in the snow!" Wu Da was not particularly angry, "When that businessman from the Song Dynasty from the far south told me this sentence, I still couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence deeply. , Now I understand. De'an, you shouldn't come back, your woman is from the Merikubu! They are not willing to send reinforcements, but at least they will be willing to protect you!"

"De'an is a member of the enemy's lieutenant, life is life, death is also." De'an clenched the knife in his hand.

Wu Da nodded: "Good brother! Since this is the case, I have one more thing to ask you. Do you dare to go to Yelumin for me?"

"Headman, are you ready to surrender?" Dean asked in surprise.

"I still want to show my anger one last time!" Uda said, "Yelumin will accept your surrender, but he will never accept my surrender. So, I want to try harder. You go tell him, according to the Khitan people's Rules, I challenge him. If I win, then he must let us all go. If I lose, then everyone here will surrender to him and swear to the wolf and ancestors to be loyal to him forever If he doesn't agree, then there are three thousand men here who can hold a knife and hold a bow and are willing to spill their blood on this land."

"Yelumin is not from Khitan, how could he agree to fight alone with you, the leader? Now they are sure to win!" De'an shook his head.

"He will agree." Uda took a deep breath: "His surname is Yelu now. He is the northern king of Daliao. Promise, even that temptress will be tainted by others. Although the rules are very old, he does exist, and this is our only chance."

"I'm going!" Dean said loudly.

Under the banner of the King of Zhenbei, Yelumin was slowly tearing up the freshly roasted mutton, dipping it in the seasonings in the kraft paper bag, and then throwing it in his mouth and chewing.

De'an got down on one knee in front of him, loudly proposing Uda's challenge.

This request made the people around Yelumin burst into laughter, some even laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten up.

"Wu that barbarian, who lives in the north for a long time, doesn't he know the name of the king?" Wanyan Yinshu covered his abdomen and stomped his feet vigorously.

"My lord, the thief can be killed by bullets, why bother with him?" Murong Chao said: "The last general led the people, charged them all, and took them all down."

Seeing everyone's expressions, De'an shouted: "Is the Zhenbei King of Daliao only this courageous? Don't you dare to accept the challenge?"

Wanyan Yinshu kicked De'an to the ground with one kick, and drew out the knife with a choking sound.

Yelumin waved his hand, stopped Wanyan Yinshuke, and shouted back: "Abohe, come here!"

"Your Majesty!" A Khitan officer trotted up to Yelumin.

"Is there such a rule?" Yelumin asked, "Why have I never heard of it?"

Abohe nodded and said: "My lord, there are. It's just that few people have mentioned it these years. Only in the remote borderlands, these rules are still prevailing."

Yelumin understood that the center of gravity of the Liao Kingdom is now concentrated in Wujing, and these places are deeply influenced by the culture of the Han family. The move to decide the outcome will naturally be regarded as an uncivilized and barbaric move.

It is only in the border areas that this ancient tradition continues.

However, this is still a good thing for me.

Because what I want to lead next is precisely these barbaric tribes on the frontier, and wanting them to be honest, convincing, and courageous is the most direct expression.

"If they lose, will they really surrender?"

"Back to the king, the wolf is the totem of the enemy's army. I swear on the reputation of the wolf and my ancestors. If I lose, I will be cast aside by everyone."

"Those fighters, will they really charge forward for me in the future and be loyal?" Yelumin pointed to the knights of the enemy's fierce tribe gathered in the distance.

Abohe hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice: "My lord, under such circumstances, usually, the winner will kill all the men who are taller than the wheel on the loser side. Only women and children are left."

Yelumin was stunned for a moment, then let out a loud laugh: "It really is a barbarian, so barbaric!"

Dip the last bit of mutton in his hand with seasoning and stuff it into his mouth, wipe his hands clean, Yelumin said to De'an, "Go back and tell Wuda, I agree."

De'an was overjoyed, got up, turned around and ran.

"Your Majesty, how can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer? It's better to let the last general fight on your behalf!" Murong Chong stepped forward and said loudly.

"It's me who made the oath with him, you, will he admit it?" Yelumin smiled and said, "And this kid Wu Da still has some real skills, you may not be able to beat him, if you accidentally lose, Where did you get me these people that the king wants?"

Murong Chong laughed and retreated.

"I haven't exercised for a long time." Yelumin smiled and said, "It's just a good time to use this Wudati to refresh my mind, otherwise Zheng Yong will give me a good look when I go back."

The matter between Yelumin and Zheng Tong seemed unimaginable to the generals. Zheng Yong really tried every means to assassinate Yelumin, but as long as he failed, he would do his best to complete the task Yelumin gave him.

This kind of relationship is completely incomprehensible to Murong Chong, Wanyan Yinshuke and others.

However, this move did earn Yelumin the admiration of countless people in the army.

Abohe was ordered to complete the oath with the other party.

It was De'an who came out.

The three animals offered sacrifices to heaven, and the oath was written in blood. The ceremony was very solemn.

With the mentality of dying, Uda wants to fight for the last chance for the survival of the tribe.

On the other side, no one thought Yelvmin would lose.

Before Yelumin came, Wanyan Bage was recognized as the number one champion in Daliao, and he had never lost.

Until Yelumin appeared.

On the oath written in blood on the sheepskin, Yelumin pressed his own palmprint, and there was naturally Uda's palmprint on it.

After the oath was completed, Yelumin got on his horse and came out with a gun.

"Your Majesty!" Mu Rongchong handed Yelumin a stringed divine arm crossbow.

This time, the Liao Kingdom broke through Tokyo and captured the entire Great Song craftsman battalion back to Zhongjing. Naturally, the god-arm bow that could not be made before could also be made.And the smelting technology that was previously limited to steel is now all solved.It's just not mass-produced yet.But it's only a matter of time.

"No, I still use this to deal with such a brat!" Yelumin waved his hand.

But on the opposite side, Wu Da put the unsheathed knife in his belt, drew the bow with one hand, pressed the quiver with the other, and rode out on the horse.

The eyes of tens of thousands of people on both sides focused on the open field between the two armies.

Silent.

It seemed that even mules and horses knew that this one-on-one duel between the coaches of the two sides would determine the lives of tens of thousands of people, so they kept their mouths tightly shut.

Only the wind is holding snowflakes, dancing in the air.

Yelumin raised his gun and sped up, the scarlet cloak fluttered straight up, and the wind came from the opposite side, which made him squint his eyes.

He is very clear about Uda's small thoughts, but he doesn't bother to compete with the opponent for this moment.

In the face of absolute strength, any skill is pale and powerless.

At a hundred and fifty paces, Wu Da draws the arrow, draws the bow, winds it up, the bow is like a full moon, with a buzzing sound, the feathered arrow comes out of the string, and flies towards Yelumin who is rushing towards him like lightning.

Normally, Uda can at most do a hundred paces through Yang, but today, he has the advantage of a tailwind, and the two sides straddle horses to hedge and quickly approach.

Shooting the arrow at a distance of one hundred and fifty steps, but it just happened to put the opponent within his own killing range.

Just because of this on-the-spot calculation and acumen, Uda is worthy of being a battle-tested and experienced fighter.

The arrow was like lightning, the gun was like a swimming dragon, Yelumin didn't slow down at all, with a flick of his wrist, the long spear lay flat like a poisonous snake raised its head, flicked upwards, and with a sting, the feathered arrows that hit his face were already blown away. without a trace.

The spear sank, but still stabbed flat, and the distance between the two was less than ten steps.

The long gun was shot and dropped, but in the blink of an eye.

Yelumin didn't want to exert a little more strength, and he didn't want to waste a little more time.

When the spear fell, it happened to meet Wu Da who was rushing towards him.

As soon as Wu Da drew out the knife, the long spear came through the wind, and the gun cherry blossoms fluttered like a big red flower in full bloom.

With a loud shout, the knife was lifted upwards, trying to raise the spear, and then the knife cut down along the barrel of the gun, it would be best to cut Yelumin's fingers clean.

As soon as the knife and gun touched, Wu Da immediately felt the heavy pressure on his arms. He tried to lift the gun more than a foot but was unable to lift it up again. In shock, Wu Da fell backwards. He used an iron bridge on the saddle, and his entire back was almost attached to the horse's back.

The blade of the spear brushed past his face with the cold wind, and the back of the knife almost pressed against his own face. Wu Da tried his best to avoid the shot, but cold sweat broke out all at once.

The two sides crossed.

Before Wu Da got up, he had already bit the knife in his mouth, grabbed the bow next to the saddle with one hand, and drew out the arrow with the other hand, drew the bow, and shot out the arrow.

This arrow went straight towards Yelumin's vest.

It wasn't until the arrow was shot that Wu Da stood up and sat up.

Seeing Uda make this move, thousands of people in front of the enemy lieutenant cheered in unison.

Because Yelumin has not turned around yet, it seems that he cannot avoid the arrow.

Even Murong Chao, Wanyan Yinshu was waiting for someone, all the muscles in his body tensed all of a sudden.

Anyone who dared to challenge the King of Zhenbei really had some real skills. If it was him, he would definitely be unable to avoid this arrow. He might not die, but he would be seriously injured.

What Uda used was not a riding bow, but a strong bow.At such a short distance, an arrow will surely break through the armor.

Yelumin seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, he pulled the reins violently, the horse neighed and he stood up, then turned halfway, and landed heavily, just this turn, the feathered arrows rubbed Yelumin's body with the sound of wind The body flew by.

Yelumin didn't even look at the arrow, his legs clamped the horse's belly, the horse suddenly accelerated, and rushed towards Wuda.

This time, it was the turn of thousands of Liao soldiers to cheer.

It was this unexpected pause, a sharp turn, and the advantage on the field was instantly established.

Because Wu Da had just turned halfway around at this moment, the horse hadn't started to speed up yet, and Wu Da himself was nodding his arrow to the string. He originally wanted to give Yelumin another arrow when the two sides confronted each other again.

It wasn't until he turned around completely that he saw Yelumin, man and horse, galloping towards him like a shooting star.

Wu Da knew that if the arrow was fired, Yelumin would not die, but he would die.

Because after releasing the arrow, he no longer had time to hold the knife to parry Yelumin's spear.

He stopped completely so that he would have time to draw his bow to the full moon.

An arrow that can't be stretched can't break Yelumin's armor, and naturally it can't kill Yelumin.

Facing Yelumin who was approaching like Mount Tai, Wu Da's hands were still as steady as a rock.

Thirty steps, arrow out.

Uda stared wide-eyed, looking in front of the arrow.

He wants to watch the arrow penetrate Yelumin's body,

Or, he wanted to see Yelumin's spear piercing his body.

Yelumin didn't dodge, he couldn't dodge at this distance.

He also didn't expect Uda's reaction to be like this.

However, for an experienced fighter who has fought countless times on the battlefield and climbed from the pile of dead people time and time again, he still has a quick solution to the crisis.

He raised his left arm.

Greeted the oncoming Yujian.

The feather arrow broke through the arm armor and penetrated into the muscle. The excruciating pain made Yelumin's mind clearer.

The huge impact of the feather arrow caused his body to lean slightly to the left, but the only thing that remained unchanged was that his right hand holding the gun was still as steady as a rock.

Holding a gun in his right hand, the horse is like a dragon swimming.

Then, Uda flew backwards.

The spear pierced his chest and abdomen, pierced through the armor, entered in the front chest, exited in the back, and was pierced by a single shot.

The horse continued to move forward, Uda was worn on the gun, and he ran forward for more than a hundred steps, and the speed slowed down.

With a flick of the spear, Uda fell onto the snow.

Behind him, thousands of Shan army cavalry cheered loudly.

As for De'an, his face was ashen, his knees softened, and he knelt down on the ground.
