Late Tang Dynasty: I

Chapter 116 Too Arrogant, I Convince You
Yang Shihou decided to rest in Shenniao City for a day, and make a decision after ascertaining the enemy's situation.

The next day, Yin Jifeng, the commander of Hexi's deputy capital, handed over the greeting card.

Yang Shihou met Yin Jifeng in the army, and Chi Haijian followed.

As soon as the visitor entered the tent, he looked at Yang Shihou carefully, and said: "Yesterday, I didn't realize that General Yang is also a brave man. I heard from Chi Haijian that you can wield the Modao on horseback, quite freely, but I don't know if it's an exaggeration. .”

Yang Shihou understood it as soon as he heard it, looked at Chi Haijian, saw that he was quite uncomfortable, and thought to himself that there is something dissatisfied, the person who came to smash the scene came.

Yesterday he found out the details of this person from Feng Jiwen's mouth, Yin Jifeng is a member of the Yin clan in Shazhou, an authentic general of the Guiyi Army.

After Weng Gao failed and died at the end of the battle, in order to keep Liangzhou, the imperial court borrowed troops from the Guiyi Army Zhang Huaishen to defend.

Zhang Huaishen then sent Yin Jifeng and [-] troops to station in Shenniao County. It has been seven or eight years now.

It happened that Yang Shihou also wanted to try the strength of Guiyi Army's brave generals.

"Whether it is exaggerating or not, General Yin will know after trying it."

"Okay!" Yin Jifeng was overjoyed, Yang Shihou was so forthright, and Yin Jimu's appetite was satisfied, he asked again: "Fight on foot or on horseback!"

Master Yang said kindly: "If there is anything to choose, you can fight on foot or on horseback."

"Well, crazy enough."

The two took up their stances, fighting on foot first, Yin Jifeng held Mo Dao in both hands, while Yang Shihou held a silver iron spear.

The three thousand silver guns and the festival army all watched and clamored, and some soldiers beat drums to cheer.

Yin Jifeng took the lead and galloped in front of Yang Shihou, slashing horizontally with a very majestic momentum.

And the iron spear in Yang Shihou's hand is made of all steel, although it is not as heavy as the Mo knife, its weight is not clear.

Seeing that Yin Jifeng was approaching menacingly, Yang Shihou poked the gun on the ground with one hand, put his foot on the end of the gun, and joined forces with his waist and horse.

"Bang!"

Swords and guns intersected and sparks flew.

Immediately, a huge force was transmitted to Yang Shihou's hands and feet, and his hands and feet were numb.

Yang Shihou didn't dare to take it too seriously, he knew with one move that Yin Jifeng was quite powerful.

Busily holding guns in both hands, he swung the dragon to explore the hole, and the gun and sword went straight to Yin Jifeng's throat.

Yin Jifeng, on the other hand, held the knife to the side, barely pushing the tip of the spear aside, the spear fringe swept across his neck, and then swung the knife from bottom to top.

Yang Shi hurriedly withdrew his gun to block.

"Bang!"

Sparks shot out again, and the blade swept along the gun body. Yang Shihou let go of his hands, kicked towards the handle of the knife, then turned over, picked up the gun again, and before Yin Jifeng could pull back, he fired a single shot. Sweeping, Yin Jimu hastily withdrew his handle to block.

"boom!"

A huge force almost made him let go of Modao.

The faces of the two became more serious.

After fighting for thirty rounds in a row, Yin Jifeng gradually became anxious.

"A certain weapon is heavier than him, so naturally it consumes a lot more energy. If you can't make a quick decision, you will definitely lose."

Busily dragging the knife back a few steps, Yang Shihou naturally followed closely.

Immediately, Yin Jifeng swung the Mo Dao, turned around, swung the Mo Dao in a circle, and slashed at Yang Shihou.

This time it was several times stronger than the first time.

Yang Shihou didn't dare to be careless, and immediately blocked with both guns.

"Bang!"

When the swords and guns intersected, Yang Shihou's tiger's mouth burst open immediately, and he took a few steps back.

This move could have been avoided by Yang Shi, but he still took it head-on, and the handle of the gun made of Bailian Steel was also cut deeply by this knife.

On the other hand, Yin Jifeng looked at his Mo Dao with a distressed face. He had always cherished this sword very much, but today's battle left several gaps under the blade.

"No more fights, no more fights, if you continue to fight, my sword will be useless."

Even though the winner has not yet been decided, Yin Jifeng also feels that he is not Yang Shihou's opponent, it seems that the opponent also has reservations, and most of the battles use brute force.

Yin Jifeng has been in and out of battle for many years, so it can be seen that Yang Shihou has superb marksmanship, and he almost didn't dodge the trick of piercing the throat.

Yang Shi looked at Yin Jifeng and said in his heart: "If all the generals and academies of the Guiyi Army are like this, they can indeed be regarded as a strong army."

"My gun is not much better. I'm afraid that if I take another move from the general, the gun will be broken."

Yin Jifeng said: "Haha, I have been guarding this place for many years, but I haven't seen anyone receive my sword yet. General Yang knows the reason for my last move."

"A certain Guan's energy is accumulated in a circle, and under the slash, it seems to be extremely heavy."

"That's right, this move comes from Guan Yunchang's knife-dragging technique during the Three Kingdoms period. Someone used this move to kill no fewer than twenty Tubo bandits."

"General Yin is brave, and Yang admires him."

"You are not bad, by the way, there is good wine in the army!"

Yang Shi said: "It goes without saying, come and have a banquet."

A grill was set up in the military tent, and the two sheep were placed on the grill, and they were roasted until they were dripping with oil.

Three rounds of wine, three catties of meat.

Yang Shihou asked: "General Yin, what is the power of this Liangzhou Yanmo? There are really [-] people who control strings?"

"Bah!" Yin Jifeng drank a jar of wine, no longer caring about Feng Jiwen's face.

"If there are [-] people who control strings, I'm afraid the whole of Hexi will belong to them."

"Feng Jiwen hasn't been out of the city since he took office. I'm afraid he is a string control person. He has never seen what he looks like."

Master Yang said: "Then the end...?"

"There are hundreds of tribes and tribes at the end of Liangzhou, and the largest one has only ten thousand tents. The number of soldiers capable of fighting is less than five thousand."

"Why does Wanzhang have so many soldiers?"

Yin Jifeng said: "Mo Mo, slaves of Tubo, what can slaves have? Most of them don't even have a few cattle and sheep, so there are no weapons, bows, arrows, or armor.

General Yang, don't look at them dispatching tens of thousands of people at once, they are all to scare people. Those with armor and weapons are only four to five thousand. "

Yang Shihou frowned slightly, thinking, if there are capable people at the end of the mountain, and they can unify these tribes, their strength should not be underestimated, but at this moment, the situation is not very threatening.

"The imperial court still needs to conquer Liangzhou earlier, otherwise the end of the Liangzhou will become a disaster after a long time!"

Yin Jifeng looked up to the sky and sighed: "If you give a certain 5000 troops, a certain can also pacify the end of the river and regain this Liangzhou. It's a pity that the sky doesn't give it to me. Now I can only spend my days on wine."

Although Yin Jifeng was good at wine, he didn't seem to drink much, and he became drunk after a while.

Yang Shihou asked people to help him into the inner tent to rest.

"You are handsome, most of the scouts that were dispatched in front have come back, and the furthest one ran out for more than 100 miles."

"how?"

"Except for Guzang and Liangzhou, where there are more than a thousand people, there are no large numbers of people in the rest!"

Yang Shihou nodded. Yin Jifeng also said just now that May is the season when water and grass grow wildly, and the tribes are also grazing separately at this time.

Based on the two-phase verification, Yang Shihou basically understood the end of Liangzhou.

"Departure tomorrow, straight through Liangzhou."

Chi Haijian heard this decision, and hurriedly went to Yang Shihou.

"Is General Yang sure about this trip?"

Yang Shihou pointed to the cartloads of rewards, and said: "If there were no such burdens, someone would destroy this old lair."

Chi Haijian smiled and said: "General Yang, a real husband!"
