Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 55 Comparison

...

After listening to the conversation between Li Yan and Wang Lun, Lin Chong, who watched Wang Lun go away, knew that someone did not welcome him and wanted to drive him down the mountain, because his existence might attract the imperial army to encircle Shuibo Liangshan!
moment!

Lin Chong was extremely grateful to Li Yan who tried his best to protect him!

Lin Chong cupped his fists and said, "Brother!"

Li Yan waved his hand and said: "Chai Daguan is my benefactor of Liang Shanbo and my best friend of Li Yan. I can't refute his face no matter what. Brother Lin Chong, you have been harmed by a traitor, and you have no place to display your good martial arts. It's a pity, but Liang Shanbo has few major generals and needs talents, so, out of emotion and reason, I can't let you go down the mountain."

Although Li Yan sold half of his favor to Chai Jin, this did not affect Lin Chong's gratitude to Li Yan at all!

Lin Chong bowed to the ground and said, "Brother's kindness will never be forgotten even in death!"

According to the practice of the Song Dynasty army, the horse army is more noble than the infantry army. Don’t you see, the leader of the horse army in Liangshan Po generally ranks higher than the infantry army leader, and the infantry army leader generally ranks higher than the water army leader.

What's more, there is only such a horse army in Shuibo Liangshan, how can Shan Shiqi not be enthusiastic?
Because he taught Li Yan the skill of sticks, Shan Shiqi has a close relationship with Li Yan, and Shan Shiqi's riding skills are the best in the entire Shuibo Liangshan. All the horses are handed over to him!

For this reason, Shan Shiqi diligently learned the method of leading the horse army!

Just waiting to show off my ambitions in the horse army in the future!
Unexpectedly, Lin Chong came out on the way!

How does this make Shanshiqi not popular?

Shan Shiqi bowed to the ground and said: "Brother, you can hit me or scold me afterwards, please let me and brother Lin Chong fight with each other!"

In fact, Li Yan did not object to the comparison between Shan Shiqi and Lin Chong.

First of all, Li Yan wanted Shan Shiqi to know that there are people beyond others, so that he can get rid of his arrogance.

Secondly, Li Yan wanted Lin Chong to take a look. Li Yan's Shuibo Liangshan was different from Wang Lun's Shuibo Liangshan. He had masters, so that Lin Chong would not develop arrogance. Don't forget, Lin Chong did the Rush of the Lord's business.

Thirdly, Li Yan also wanted to give Lin Chong a chance to show off his prestige, so that Lin Chong, who had no prestige, could better and faster control Madu.

Therefore, Li Yan pointed at Shan Shiqi and said, "I'll settle the score with you later!" Then he looked at Lin Chong and said, "Brother Lin Chong, what do you think?"

How could Lin Chong, who had been an instructor in the Forbidden Army for many years, not know that the army was incomparable, and that if he wanted to really gain a foothold, he had to show excellent skills?

What's more, what Shan Shiqi wanted was his promotion position, which made everyone else care about Lin Chong, who only valued fame and fortune, how could he bear it?

Lin Chong smiled and said, "It's all up to my brother to decide."

Seeing that both sides are willing to compare this match, Li Yan said: "Go to the match."

After speaking, Li Yan asked Lin Chong to pick a horse by himself, and then hugged each other and walked to the competition field together.

When they came to the teaching ground, Du Qian, Song Wan, Guang Hui, Ruan Shi Sanxiong and a group of leaders went up to meet each other, and then embraced Li Yan and walked to the martial arts hall.

Entering the Martial Arts Hall, Li Yan sat down on a muddy silver chair in front of him. On the left and right sides, Qi Zhenzhen lined up two rows of leaders and leaders. No. 1 on the left was Du Qian, followed by Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaoqi, Bian Xiang, Deng Fei, No. 1 on the right is Song Wan, followed by Ruan Xiaowu, Guanghui, Shan Shiqi, Zhu Jing, and Lin Chong. When Li Yan is seated, they all come to sing to Li Yan.

A yellow flag was erected on the platform, and thirty or fifty pairs of golden drummers lined up on both sides of the platform, beating the drums together.

The three-tone drum was beaten, and there was no sound in the classroom.

I also saw that a clean and flat flag was erected on the general platform, and the five armies in front and behind were purged together; on the general platform, a red flag was waved to lead the army, and at the sound of drums, five hundred troops lined up in one formation and two formations, and the sergeants each The instrument is in hand.

Li Yandao: "Where is Lin Chong, the gun and club instructor of the 80 Imperial Guards in Tokyo?"

Lin Chong stepped out and said, "Little brother is here!"

Li Yandao: "Are you willing to compete with Brother Shan Shiqi in martial arts? If you win, you will be allowed to form the Madu and also serve as the chief instructor of the Mabu Army!"

Lin Chong clasped his fists and said, "If you are sent by brother, An dare violate Jun's orders!"

Li Yan said: "The two of you put on your clothes and end."

It was said that Lin Chong and Shan Shiqi went to the hall and put on their armor, then put on their helmets and waist knives, mounted their horses with long spears and iron clubs and ran out from the back of the hall.

Li Yan looked at it and said: "Spears and knives are ruthless things, and they are only suitable for killing the enemy. Today, in the army's own competition, there may be injuries, ranging from disability to death. This is not good for the army. You two will Remove the head from the spear, wrap the stick with felt, and mount each of them on the horse."

Lin Chong and Shan Shiqi listened to Li Yan's order, got off their horses and went to the point of their spears, wrapped their iron bars in felt, mounted their horses, and went out to the front of the battle.

Lin Chong raised his gun and said, "Brother, I ask for advice."

Shan Shiqi didn't talk nonsense, he hit the horse forward, and it was a stick with his head covered!
At the same time, Lin Chong picked up his gun and galloped his horse to grab Shiqi!

Back and forth, over and over again, making a ball, twisting into a piece, fighting people on saddles, fighting horses sitting on horses, two fights for forty or fifty rounds in a row.

Seeing the two fighting so wonderfully, all the soldiers applauded!
Li Yan turned his head and asked Guanghui, "Who is better at martial arts?"

Guang Hui said in a low voice, "Brother Lin Chong only used nine points of strength, and brother Shi Qi eleven points."

Li Yan understood.

Two riders meet each other, four arms are vertical and horizontal, eight horseshoes are chaotic, after fifty or sixty rounds of fighting, the two are still tied.

Lin Chong applauded secretly: "No wonder this person wants to be a horse, he really has some skills."

On the other side, Shan Shiqi groaned secretly in his heart: "Brother's vision is still so vicious, this person's methods are indeed stronger than mine."

After more than a dozen rounds of fighting, Lin Chong shook his pistol violently, and "shua, shua, shua" shot three times in a row, forcing Shan Shiqi back, then making the horse back a few steps, and then clasped his fists and said: "You and I plan to fight!" How is it?"

Feeling a dull pain in his left rib, how did Shan Shiqi not know that he had already lost?

Shan Shiqi said: "If you lose, you lose. Your skills are indeed better than mine, and the horses will all give way to you!"

After finishing speaking, Shan Shiqi rode his horse back.

Lin Chong smiled and followed Shan Shiqi back.

When he came to the hall, Shan Shiqi cupped his hands and said: "Brother, younger brother lost, now go to Brother Pei Xuan to lead the army."

After speaking, Shan Shiqi bowed to Li Yan and left the martial arts hall.

Just as Lin Chong wanted to be humble, Bian Xiang stepped forward and said, "Brother, I don't want Brother Lin Chong's Ma Dudu, but I want to compare with Brother Lin Chong, please allow me."

Bian Xiang could see clearly that Shan Shiqi lost only forty or fifty rounds, which made Li Yan's eyes flash with disappointment!
Bian Xiang can get rid of Ma Du's head, but Bian Xiang has to protect brother Li Yan's face!
Therefore, Bian Xiang challenged Lin Chong!
