Chapter 433
Zhong Tian, Zhan Wushuang, Zhan Wudi, and Xiao Shang all stood on the tower, looking at Zhan Hu showing off his power outside the city. None of the four spoke. Read the full text.
In their opinion, the only one who can compete with Zhan Hu is Zhan Wudi, but Zhan Wudi has no intention of fighting now. He has fought against Zhan Hu and knows how powerful this person is, so even if he goes to fight, It is difficult to win, not to mention that the opponent still has Shangguan Yuanrang. If he goes to fight, he will never come back.
Seeing that no one answered in Zhangyu City for a long time, Zhan Hu yelled and cursed: "Since the rebels in the city have the courage to rebel against the imperial court, don't they have the courage to go out of the city to fight? You guys, why are you fighting? You all go home and take care of your children!" "
"Haha——" Following Zhan Hu's ridicule and sarcasm, the Feng Army soldiers laughed together, and the faces of Zhong Tian and others on the city became increasingly ugly.
At this time, Hao Zhao walked to Xiao Shang's side, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, let the last general go into battle!"
"This..." Xiao Shang turned to look at Hao Zhao, frowning and saying nothing. Although he had never seen Zhan Hu's ability, even someone as powerful as Zhan Wudi did not dare to fight easily. Hao Zhao could win if he went forward? He was really unsure. He was silent for a moment, shook his head and said: "The first battle affects the morale of the entire army. Don't be careless. You can retreat for now!"
Hao Zhao said seriously: "Sir, if no one on our side dares to go out to fight, it will have a greater impact on morale, so let's let the last general go to fight!"
"But……"
Before Xiao Shang could refuse again, Zhan Wudi on the side suddenly interjected: "Master Xiao, since General Hao Zhao has repeatedly asked for battle, I think it is not a bad idea to let him go out to meet the enemy general."
Xiao Shang snorted coldly in his heart, Hao Zhao is not a Ning general, and of course life or death has nothing to do with you, but he cannot just watch him go out and die. He took a deep breath and was about to speak when Zhong Tian also said: "Brother Shang, let General Hao Zhao go out of the city and lead the charge!"
He could not listen to Zhan Wudi's words, but he did not dare to go against Zhong Tian's wishes. Seeing Zhong Tian also said the same, Xiao Shang sighed secretly, looked at Hao Zhao who looked expectant, nodded helplessly, and said: "Okay! Hao Zhao, I will give you five thousand troops, and you will go out of the city to fight!"
"Thank you, sir!" Hao Zhao was perked up after hearing this, stepped in to salute, and turned to leave.
Xiao Shang called him back uneasy and warned him in a low voice: "I see that the enemy general outside the city is very difficult. You must deal with it carefully. If you can fight, fight. If you can't fight, return to the city immediately. I won't It’s your fault. Do you understand?”
After hearing this, Hao Zhao was very moved. He bit his lip, nodded seriously, and said, "Don't worry, sir. At the end of this battle, the enemy general's head will be retrieved and presented to you!"
In fact, with Xiao Shang's mediocre ability, he could not reach the position of county chief. It was all due to his close relationship with Zhong Tian. The reason why Hao Zhao was willing to assist him was largely because of Xiao Shang's peaceful and open-minded personality. In official matters, no matter how big the differences of opinion between his subordinates and him are, or even on the spot, he will never hold a grudge, and even in private he is very easy-going.
Hao Zhao took the initiative to volunteer and led five thousand Peng soldiers out of the city to meet the enemy. Xiao Shang still felt uneasy and turned his head and said, "Jiang Fan!"
"The last general is here!" As the voice responded, a young man wearing golden armor walked out from among the generals and stepped in to salute.
Xiao Shang said: "Jiang Fan, go and hold the battle for Hao Zhao. If he loses to the enemy general, take him back to the city immediately."
The young man in golden armor responded expressionlessly: "Yes! Sir!" After speaking, he turned around and walked down the tower.
Let's talk about Hao Zhao. He led the crowd to rush out of the city gate and formed a square formation in front of Zhangyu City. Then he urged his war horses and rushed directly to the formations of the two armies. When he got in front of Zhan Hu, he reined in his reins. He looked down at him and looked at him with a smile. He turned away and said proudly: "Don't be so arrogant as a common man, and dare to talk so shamelessly when you are about to die. Today, I, Hao Zhao, will use this knife to take your dog's head!" As he spoke, he shook the spiritual knife in his hand, and the tip of the knife was pointed directly at the battle. Tiger's nose.
Zhan Hu was stunned for a moment, then he laughed loudly and said: "Rat people don't know how high the sky is. If you want to die, I will help you!" As he spoke, Zhan Hu rushed forward two steps, then jumped up high and aimed at Hao Zhao, his full strength is a heavy hammer.
Buzz!
His sledgehammer had not yet been spiritualized, but the sound of breaking wind was already shocking to the heart and soul. Hao Zhao could see it clearly and did not dare to be careless. He hurriedly parried with his sword. However, it is not a rigid frame, but the blade is tilted to create an outward sliding force.
But even so, when Zhan Hu's sledgehammer hit his knife shaft, Hao Zhao still felt his arms were sore, painful and numb, and the tiger's mouth was in pain as if it was being torn apart. There was a clanging sound in his ears. Hao Zhao, his men and his horse, took five or six steps sideways before they could stand still. The four hooves of the horse were trembling.
This man has so much strength! An expert would know if there was one as soon as he stretched out his hand. After Hao Zhao took Zhan Hu's blow hard, he immediately put away his contempt and exercised extreme caution. He covered his spiritual armor, and the sword in his hand was also spiritualized, and he turned his horse. Head, charge towards Zhan Hu.
The opponent was able to catch his heavy hammer and was safe and sound. Zhan Hu also realized that he had encountered a strong opponent. He did not dare to be too confident. Just like Hao Zhao, he completed the spiritual armor and spiritual weapons at the same time. He roared and swung the hammer to face Hao Zhao. Fight in one place.
These two people, one on the horse and the other under the horse, each used all their abilities, sometimes using weapons to engage in close combat, and sometimes releasing spiritual martial arts skills to confront and suppress each other. The two people in the field were like revolving lanterns. It kept spinning, and the sound of collisions between spiritual soldiers could be heard one after another.
In the blink of an eye, Zhan Hu and Hao Zhao had fought for thirty rounds, and they were evenly matched with no winner.
The brothers Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi, who were watching the battle on the city wall, took a deep breath. Feng Country was really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. It was incredible that there were such powerful generals in such a secluded mountainous area like Gaochuan County. Even Zhong Tian couldn't help but widen his eyes and admire Xiao Shang and Gaochuan County's strength.
Tang Yin and others from the opposite Tianyuan Army were also watching in front of the battle. At the beginning, he saw a general Peng rushing out of Zhangyu City to fight with Zhan Hu. He sneered in his heart, thinking that this person would die under Zhan Hu's hammer in less than two or three moves. But who would have thought that after thirty moves, Zhan Hu still couldn't hurt the other party at all. Tang Yin was secretly surprised and turned his head to ask Le Tian beside him: "Who is this general? Why is he so powerful?"
Because the distance was too far, Le Tian didn't hear the other party's name clearly. He sent a Sky Eye spy to the front army to ask a question. It wasn't long before the spy returned and whispered a few words in Letian's ear. The latter nodded and said to Tang Yin: "Sir, this man is called Hao Zhao, and he is Xiao Shang's subordinate."
"Oh! So he is Hao Zhao!" Tang Yin had heard his name before, from Xiao Xin, but he didn't take it too seriously at the time, thinking that the generals of Gaochuan County would not be that powerful. Unexpectedly, he guessed wrong this time. This Hao Zhao is indeed not simple. He can fight with Zhan Hu for so long without losing the upper hand. He can also be called a first-class general.
"Does the lord know him?" Letian asked curiously.
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded and said, "Xiao Xin, who was captured by us, mentioned this man and said he was very powerful."
"Humph!"
At this time, Shangguan Yuanrang on the other side of Tang Yin snorted and laughed, and said proudly: "Sir, let me replace Zhan Hu. I am willing to guarantee with my head that I will kill this thief within three moves!"
The generals around shook their heads secretly when they heard this, feeling that Shangguan Yuanrang was too arrogant, and he was simply arrogant. No matter what, the opponent's ability was not inferior to Zhan Hu. If he could kill Hao Zhao within three moves, wouldn't he be able to kill Zhan Hu within three moves? Shangguan Yuanrang was probably the only one in the world who dared to say such a crazy thing.
Tang Yin didn't care, but was happy. He liked Shangguan Yuanrang's personality of "who else but me", which was very similar to him. He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. Although Hao Zhao is powerful and can hold off Zhan Hu for a while, he can't hold off Zhan Hu for long."
Hearing what he said, it seemed that Zhan Hu was sure to win. Shangguan Yuanrang didn't know what to say, so he shrugged and retreated.
On the battlefield, Zhan Hu and Hao Zhao fought for more than 20 rounds. Although the latter was on horseback, it was easier for Zhan Hu to attack or defend, but gradually, he was running out of energy. Zhan Hu's cultivation was on par with his, but Zhan Hu's strength was too great, like a wild bull, as if the strength in his body would never run out. He swung the heavy hammer one after another. Hao Zhao had to use all his strength every time he blocked. He could still hold on for a few or dozens of rounds, but after a long time, his physical strength was exhausted.
Seeing that the latter's parry was already struggling, and his moves were not as fierce as at the beginning, Zhan Hu immediately realized that the opportunity had come. Just at this moment, Hao Zhao slashed at his face with a knife. Zhan Hu pretended to dodge with difficulty and took two steps backwards. However, before he could stop, his feet suddenly slipped and he sat on the ground.
Seeing this, Hao Zhao was overjoyed and thought to himself: Today is the day for me to make a contribution and stand out! Without thinking, he rushed to the fallen Zhan Hu, holding the knife with both hands, and slashed down heavily on Zhan Hu's head with all his strength.
Swish!
With a flash of cold light, the magic knife instantly chopped above Zhan Hu's head. Just when Hao Zhao thought Zhan Hu was going to be killed by his knife, the latter's body on the ground suddenly shrank into a ball, like a ball, rolling forward, not only avoiding his knife, but also rolling directly under the belly of Hao Zhao's horse. Before Hao Zhao could react to what was going on, he heard Zhan Hu roaring, and his shrunken body stood up, with his shoulders against the horse's belly, and hit it with all his strength.
Huh—Hao Zhao and his horse were knocked upside down by the war tiger below. Even the war horse weighing hundreds of pounds was bounced high in the air, which shows how strong the force of the war tiger's collision was.
With a dull thud, Hao Zhao and the war horse fell to the ground from mid-air. He was still trying to struggle to stand up, but the war tiger had already rushed to him without stopping, swung the giant hammer, and smashed it down with a fierce force that could split Huashan Mountain.
