Zhong Tian, Zhan Wushuang, Zhan Wudi, Xiao Shang were standing on top of the city gate tower, looking at Zhan Hu who was showing off his might outside the city, the four of them did not say a word.
In their eyes, the only person they could fight against Zhan Hu was Zhan Wudi, but Zhan Wudi did not have any intentions of fighting. He had fought with Zhan Hu before, and knew how powerful he was, even if he fought, it would be hard for him to win, not to mention that his opponent had Shangguan Yuan to give way, if he fought, he might not be able to escape.
Seeing no one reply for a long time from the Zhangyu City, Zhan Hu scolded: "Since the rebel army inside the city have the guts to betray the imperial government, wouldn't they dare to leave the city to fight? What are you fighting for? Let's just go home and pick up the kids! "
"Haha —" Following Zhan Hu's mockery and sarcasm, Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army started to laugh together, and the expressions of Zhong Tian and the rest who were on the city walls turned even uglier.
Just then, Hao Zhao walked to Xiao Shang's side and cupped his hands: "Master, let this general fight!"
"This …" Xiao Shang turned his head to look at Hao Zhao, and frowned. Although he had never seen Zhan Hu's abilities, even such a powerful being like Zhan Wudi did not dare to easily fight in battle. He was really unsure. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "The first battle is related to the morale of the troops. We can't be careless. You should temporarily withdraw!"
Hao Zhao said sternly: "Master, if no one dares to go out to fight, it will have a greater impact on our morale, so let this lowly general fight!"
"But …"
Without waiting for Xiao Shang to refuse, Zhan Wudi suddenly interrupted and said: "Master Xiao, since General Hao Zhao has requested for battle again and again, I think it's better if we let him go out to fight the enemy."
Xiao Shang was not a General of Ning Country, so whether he lived or died naturally had nothing to do with you. 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 take the lead!"
How could he not listen to Zhan Wudi, but he did not dare go against Zhong Tian's words. Seeing that Zhong Tian also said the same, Xiao Shang secretly sighed, looked at the hopeful face of Hao Zhao, and helplessly nodded his head, and said: "Alright! Hao Zhao, I will give you five thousand men, and you can go out of the city to fight! "
"Thank you, master!" Hearing that, Hao Zhao's spirits were lifted, he interfered and bowed, and turned to leave.
Xiao Shang stopped him again, worried, and warned in a low voice: "I see that the enemies outside the city will not be simple, you must be careful in dealing with them. If you can fight, then fight, and if you can't fight, then immediately retreat to the city. Do you understand? "
After hearing these words, Hao Zhao's heart was moved. Biting his lips, he lowered his head and said, "Master, do not worry, at the end of this battle, we will take back the head of the enemy general and offer it to you!"
Actually, with Xiao Shang's mediocre strength, he was fundamentally unable to reach the position of the County Head, and it was all because of his intimate relationship with Zhong Tian. The reason why Hao Zhao was willing to support him, was largely because of Xiao Shang's calm and open-minded personality.
Hao Zhao volunteered himself and led five thousand Peng Soldier s out of the city to meet the enemy. Xiao Shang was still worried and turned his head and said: "Jiang Fan!"
"This lowly general is here!" As the voice sounded, a young man wearing golden armor walked out from the General of Peng Country and bowed.
Xiao Shang said: "Jiang Fan, go and help Hao Zhao suppress the array, if he cannot defeat the enemy, you can immediately bring him back to the city."
The gold-armored youth replied expressionlessly: "Yes! "My Lord!" Finishing his words, he turned around and walked down the city wall.
As for Hao Zhao, he rushed out of the city gate with his men, and as he stood in front of the Zhangyu City, he urged his horse to ride, and immediately rushed to the front of the two armies to rein in Zhan Hu with his reins, then lowered his head to look at Zhan Hu a few times. The corners of his mouth curled up, and he said arrogantly: "A mere man should not be so arrogant, he dares to speak so arrogantly before his death, today, I, Hao Zhao will use this blade to take your dog head!" With that, he shook the Spiritual Knife in his hand and pointed the blade tip straight at Zhan Hu's nose.
Zhan Hu was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud with his head facing upwards, and said, "A scoundrel who doesn't know the limits of heaven and earth, if you want to court death, I'll grant you your wish!" As he spoke, Zhan Hu rushed two steps forward, then leaped high into the air as he aimed at Hao Zhao, and smashed down with all his strength with the heavy hammer.
Weng! *
Right now, his hammers had yet to undergo Spirit Transformation, but the sound of the winds breaking had already shaken his soul, Hao Zhao could see everything clearly, he did not dare be careless, and anxiously used his blade to parry. However, he did not use a hard knife. Instead, he used the knife's edge to create an outward sliding force.
But even so, when Zhan Hu's sledgehammer smashed onto the Knife Rod, Hao Zhao felt that both of his arms were aching and numb, the pain felt as if his hands were being torn apart. Clank clank clank sounds came out of his ear as Hao Zhao and his horse took five or six steps back before regaining their balance, their hooves trembling from head to toe.
This person had a lot of strength! After Hao Zhao received the hammer, he immediately retracted his contempt and took full care of himself. With the protection of the spirit armor, he completed the spiritualization of the blade in his hand and turned his horse, charging towards Zhan Hu.
Just like Hao Zhao, he also completed his spirit armor and spirit weapon at the same time. With a loud roar, he swung his hammer at Hao Zhao, and started to fight with him.
The two of them, one on a horse and the other under a horse, used all of their abilities. Sometimes they would use their weapons to close in on each other, and sometimes they would use their Spiritual Martial Skills to fight.
In the blink of an eye, Zhan Hu and Hao Zhao had already fought for thirty rounds, and the two of them were evenly matched, with no victor yet.
The two brothers, Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi, who were watching from the top of the city, secretly gasped. Feng Country was truly a crouching tiger and hidden dragon, and to think that there would be such a powerful general in such an isolated little mountain area. It was simply inconceivable.
At the start, when he saw a General of Peng Country rushing out from the Zhangyu City to fight against Zhan Hu, he sneered in her heart, thinking that she would die under Zhan Hu's hammer before even using two or three moves, but who would have thought, that even after using thirty moves, Zhan Hu was still unable to harm the opponent at all. Tang Yin was secretly shocked, and turned to ask Le Tian who she was. How can she be so powerful? "
Because the distance was too far, Le Tian did not hear the other party's name clearly. He sent a Sky Eye Scout to the frontlines to ask for more details, and before long, the spy returned and whispered a few words into Le Tian's ears. The latter nodded and said to Tang Yin: "Master, this man is called Hao Zhao, he is Xiao Shang's subordinate."
"Oh!" So he is Hao Zhao! " Tang Yin had heard his name before, and at Xiao Xin's place, it was just that he did not take it to heart at the time, and felt that the generals of Gaochuan County were not that powerful. He did not expect that he would guess wrongly, this Hao Zhao was indeed not simple, to be able to last so long against Zhan Hu, he was definitely a first-rate martial general.
"Lord knows him?" Le Tian asked curiously.
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded in agreement: "Back then, the Xiao Xin we captured mentioned this person before, and said he was extremely powerful."
"Humph!"
At this moment, Shangguan Yuan let out a snort of laughter on the other side of Tang Yin, and said arrogantly: "Sir, let me replace Zhan Hu. I am willing to vouch with my head, to take this thief's life in three moves!"
No matter what, the other party's ability was not inferior to Zhan Hu's. If he could kill Hao Zhao in three moves, then wouldn't he be able to kill Zhan Hu in three moves as well? Perhaps only Shangguan Yuan would dare to spout such arrogant words.
Tang Yin, on the other hand, did not mind. Instead, he was happy. He waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, although Hao Zhao is powerful and can hold him off for a while, he won't be for long."
Hearing his words, it seemed like Zhan Hu had the confidence to win, Shangguan Yuan did not say anything more, he just shrugged and retreated.
On the battlefield, Zhan Hu and Hao Zhao fought for more than twenty rounds. Although the latter was on the horses, so regardless of offense or defense, they were weaker than Zhan Hu, but slowly, he was lacking in strength. Zhan Hu's cultivation was about the same as his, but Zhan Hu's strength was too strong, like a raging bull. As though the energy in his body was never exhausted, he swung his heavy hammer one after another, causing Hao Zhao's body to need to exert all of his strength to block every single strike. He could still hold on with just a few or even dozens of rounds, but after a while, his stamina was completely depleted.
Seeing that the latter was struggling to defend and her attacks were not as fierce as at the beginning, Zhan Hu immediately realized the chance had come. Just then, Hao Zhao's blade struck towards his face. Zhan Hu pretended to dodge with effort and took two steps backwards, but his body was not stable yet. His legs suddenly slipped and he sat down on the ground.
Seeing that, Hao Zhao was overjoyed, and thought in his heart: I should really show off today! Without even thinking, he galloped towards Zhan Hu who was on the ground, wielding his blade with both hands, he used all his strength and slashed towards Zhan Hu's head.
Swish!
Right when Hao Zhao thought that Zhan Hu was going to die because of his blade, the latter suddenly shrank his body that was sitting on the ground, and like a ball, rolled forward. Not only did he avoid's blade, but he directly rolled under Hao Zhao's horse's abdomen, before Hao Zhao could even react, he heard Zhan Hu's loud roar, and stood up with his shoulder against the horse's abdomen, and crashed against it with all his might.
Hu — — Hao Zhao, together with his horse, had actually been turned upside down by Zhan Hu. Even the warhorse that weighed several hundred kilograms had been thrown into the air, showing just how powerful Zhan Hu's impact was.
Following a dull thumping sound, Hao Zhao and his war horse fell from midair and landed on the ground. He still wanted to struggle to stand up, but Zhan Hu had already rushed in front of him and raised his huge hammer, smashing him down ferociously.
