Chapter 49: A Fair Fight
At that time, the Yi tribe had implemented Nalong's decision and retreated. Lang Zhengxuan was very panicked and immediately stopped attacking.
At this time, Tang Chao and Zhuan Xin returned to the edge of the Forbidden City with three thousand knights. The wind and smoke billowed, blocking Lang Zhengxuan's retreat.
The Tang Dynasty rode on a big yellow horse and loudly shouted to Li Gesang in the Forbidden City, "The Yi tribe has surrendered to Your Majesty." Then he wrote the incident on a piece of paper with a piece of cloth and shot it with a loud arrow into the city.
The Imperial Army picked it up and handed it over to Li Gesang. Li Gesang was overjoyed when he saw it: "General He Zhuan of the Tang Dynasty has made great achievements. Nalong has surrendered. Lang Zhengxuan is isolated and helpless. Open the city gate. You and I will annihilate him."
!”
These few words were spoken by Li Gesang with his strong inner strength. When all the troops heard this, they burst into cheers.
Li Gesang knew that the opportunity to fight was fleeting, so he shouted: "Follow me!"
Striding towards the city, he naturally saw that Zhuan Xin had borrowed three thousand Yi soldiers, blocking Lang Zhengxuan's retreat. Is there any reason not to attack from both inside and outside?
Lang Zhengxuan was wondering and wanted to send spies to find out what happened. Li Gesang had already opened the city gate and led all the imperial troops to rush out. He was about to ask Zhuan Xin why he rushed his rear team, but Zhuan Xin unexpectedly shot him.
passed.
Lang Zhengxuan hurriedly dodged, but in the end he was still a step too late. Although he tried his best to avoid the vital points, he was still scratched with a bone-deep cut on his ribs. He said angrily: "You, what are you doing?"
Zhuan Xin smiled slightly and said: "Lieutenant Lang, I know I am not your opponent, I only need a sneak attack!"
Lang Zhengxuan was filled with hatred: "Boy, it turns out that you were caught by Li Gesang and have taken refuge with him?"
Zhuan Xin smiled and said, "Yes, not only that, I also persuaded Nalong to return his troops. The three thousand troops behind me were lent to me by Patriarch Nalong to put down the rebels."
When Lang Zhengxuan heard this, his soul suddenly flew into the sky. He slashed two Yi soldiers who were close to him with two swords and ordered him to retreat quickly.
But it was too late, Li Gesang and Li Bai rushed towards them and smashed Lang Zhengxuan's soldiers into pieces.
Lang Zhengxuan sighed, really not believing that he would end up in this situation, and rushed away with Rong Gong and hundreds of soldiers. His martial arts was too overbearing, and the Yi soldiers who encountered him started to fight, leaving him with a way to fight.
On the bloody road, I wanted to retreat to Lang Mansion, and defended myself in danger, waiting for reinforcements.
But how could Li Gesang let him escape? He had already commanded several troops to block the only way to pass. Lang Zhengxuan had just broken through the siege of the Yi soldiers. Li Gesang, Li Bai and Li Liang surrounded him in three corners.
He waited coldly for his arrival.
Rong Gong slapped his horse and shouted: "Master, I'm here to hold them back, you just rush out!"
Wielding a machete, he struck each of the three people with a move.
Lang Zhengxuan had this free time, holding an iron tire and drawing a bow, and shot out three arrows, shooting the three forbidden soldiers to the ground. What was even more terrifying was that after the three people died, three arrows also killed their bodies.
Being firmly nailed to the ground shows the depth of Lang Zhengxuan's internal strength.
The Forbidden Army was shocked and raised their shields to protect their faces. Lang Zhengxuan immediately put away his bow, tightened the thick-backed machete in his hand, and charged out like a god. Anyone who stood in his way was broken and their corpses flew away. The Forbidden Army dodged one after another.
Open up and make a way. On the other side, Duke Rong is fighting Li Gesang, Li Bai and Prince Fuhu alone. It is extremely dangerous. You must know that although he is strong in martial arts, he is already old. How can he withstand three battles?
Human siege?
Li Bai tried to escape and pursue Lang Zhengxuan several times, but the old man used desperate methods to trap him.
Li Gesang held back several times, not wanting to kill the old man, but the more he fought, the more courageous he became and refused to retreat. Li Gesang was in great panic. He saw Lang Zhengxuan's thick back with a sword everywhere, and the corpses of the imperial guards flying everywhere. He knew he would never come out again.
With a heavy hand, he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up, so he shouted loudly: "Rong Gong, there is a conspiracy!"
After saying this, he took out the darts in his hand, not on his body, but on his horse's legs. You must know that the reason why Rong Gong was able to block Li Bai and three others by himself was because he was riding a horse, tall and long, with a sword.
of cheapness.
He heard the war horse whine, apparently hit by Li Gesang's sleeve dart, the horse's hoof was broken, and Rong Gong immediately fell off the horse.
But at this time, Zhuan Xin had already arrived and was encircling them.
But Rong Gong did not panic. He took out an iron flute from his arms and held it against several weapons. He only hoped that he could hold on for a moment longer so that Lang Zhengxuan could escape!
But Rong Gong's expression suddenly changed, and he did not cover the iron flute in his hand, but shouted angrily: "Master, why don't you run away?"
I think I was so sad that I forgot to resist.
Seeing the old man's appearance, Li Gesang and Li Bai couldn't bear to kill him, so they let go and attempted to attack him. However, Prince Fuhu ignored him and went straight forward with their swords, aiming to pierce Rong Gong's chest.
Suddenly there was a loud bang, and the single sword in Prince Fuhu's hand was released, saving Duke Rong's life.
Fuhu looked up in shock and saw a god-like man holding a thick-backed machete, standing majestically in front of him. It was Lang Zhengxuan covered in blood.
Everyone was intimidated by his power and remained silent for a moment. There was a brief moment of calm on the battlefield.
Suddenly hearing applause, Li Gesang clapped his hands and said: "You are not willing to run away alone, you are really a man!"
Lang Zhengxuan laughed loudly: "Li Gesang, who knows me well, you know that I will definitely come back to save Mr. Rong, so you are not in a hurry to chase me?"
Li Gesang also laughed: "Yes, if you really escape alone, you are no longer Lang Zhengxuan, so I am not in a hurry!"
Lang Zhengxuan's face showed a deep seriousness, and he said slowly: "Twenty-five years ago, before Lang surrendered to you, you and I had a battle. That time, the outcome was indistinguishable.
Do you know if Li Gesang still has the courage to fight me, Lang Zhengxuan, twenty years later?"
When Li Gesang saw that Lang Zhengxuan was the first captain and said these words, he knew that he had been forced to a dead end and said angrily: "I am willing!"
Li Bai said anxiously: "Your Majesty, he is now a fish in a net and a bird in a cage. Your Majesty still has so many important things to do. Do you really want to be loyal?"
Li Gesang hesitated for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "Brother Lang Zhengxuan, I want to know, if I give you a fair chance to fight, what will happen after victory or defeat?"
Lang Zhengxuan looked up to the sky and laughed three times: "My brother asked me well. If I win, you will let me go today. If I lose, then I will cut off my own head with my own hands. But please, my brother
Remember that my brothers did a little favor to you in the past, so don’t kill them all!"
These words were tantamount to asking for help. When everyone heard this, they felt a little sad in their hearts.
Li Gesang said enthusiastically: "Okay, I promise you, but you were injured just now under your ribs, doesn't that bother you?"
Lang Zhengxuan smiled proudly: "My brother has good eyesight, but this little injury can't do anything to me, Lang Zhengxuan!"
Li Gesang smiled and said, "That's fine!"
After saying this, everyone screamed together, and Tang Chao was even more concerned: "Father, why are you doing this?"
It turned out that Li Gesang was unwilling to take advantage of Lang Zhengxuan, so he took out the jade sword and cut a bone-deep wound under his ribs. Blood spurted out, and Li Gesang even frowned.
Not even a wrinkle.
Lang Zhengxuan's face was serious, and he said after a while: "Brother, thank you for treating me like this!"
Without saying a word, Li Gesang tore off his clothes and bandaged his wound. He flicked his finger on the scabbard of the sword, making a whistle-like sound. The jade sword flicked into his palm like a jade dragon, and the brilliance flowed.
, everyone cheered loudly, even the soldiers under Lang Zhengxuan also applauded, but they immediately knew that this was to show off to others, and the tail of the applause was immediately cut off, as if someone had cut their throats.
Lang Zhengxuan raised the machete in his hand and said slowly: "Please!"
Li Gesang's eyes were like an eagle, and he said slowly: "Please!"
