Chapter 94: The Unexpected (1)
Dawn had just arrived when waves of overwhelming dust covered the sky. Above [Liancheng], the guards on duty beat the drums. Immediately, the entire [Liancheng] garrison troops responded quickly , and within a moment, they appeared in their respective areas of responsibility in a very orderly manner. The people in the city began to panic when they heard the drums. Of course, they knew in advance that the enemy was about to arrive, so most of the people who stayed in the city had evacuated, and only a few people stayed away.
On the city wall, the garrison commanders had already arrived at the scene, ready to meet the enemy rushing towards them; the Wu army stopped at a certain distance from [Liancheng], and the mighty army had already prepared to attack the city at any time...
Neither side had a direct conversation. The Wu army first sent a general to fight, and then [Liancheng] also sent a representative. After only two rounds, the [Liancheng] representative was killed by the sword of the Wu army representative. The Wu army shouted loudly, but [Liancheng]'s morale did not weaken.
"Oh, you're not moved at all?"
In front of the army, General Su sat on horseback and spoke with disdain.
"I think it's just a last-ditch effort. I beg you to go into battle."
"Hmph, sure."
"Thank you, hello!!"
A general asked for orders to go into battle, and Marshal Su agreed without any hesitation. After hearing the order, the general immediately rode his horse forward, and the soldiers at the previous station had already retreated.
On the city wall.
"General, they've sent another representative."
"I know ."
A dignified middle-aged veteran was completely unmoved after hearing the report from his subordinates, and did not make any arrangements. The city gate under his feet was opened, and a representative of the battle emerged from the city gate. This person was dressed as an ordinary soldier and came in front of the representative of the Wu army.
"Humph, you are just an ordinary soldier, but you dare to go out to fight and die? Is it possible that Liancheng has no more talented people?"
Representative Wu Jun could tell the other party's rank from his attire, and his tone was full of sarcasm.
"General, it worked. You and I are just representatives of both sides. As a soldier, being able to represent the enemy is the highest honor. Why should we fear death?"
"Oh? I didn't realize you're quite courageous?"
"General, you are so kind."
Representative Wu Jun could see the other party's youth, so he was even more disdainful: "Stop talking nonsense and give me your life."
The young soldier said nothing and calmly faced the opponent's attack. After several rounds, the two men were in a stalemate...
"How can a mere ordinary soldier have such ability?"
Commander Su, who was on horseback, watched the fight between the two people in front of him, frowned slightly, and looked somewhat displeased.
"Master Su, this man is just struggling to survive. General Yu is a fierce general of our Wu army. He is just looking for some fun before killing him."
A general beside him spoke cautiously. From his attire, it could be seen that he was just a civil servant.
"Is that so?"
Ignoring the civil servant's comments, General Su set his sights on the two people fighting in front of him. He also knew that the strength of his subordinate generals was not just for show, but he didn't see how they could be deadlocked with an ordinary soldier of the other side. Indeed, in his opinion, his subordinates had the upper hand, but he didn't see that the other side felt suppressed?
After all, there was some distance between them, and the two horses were jumping under the lead of their respective owners, raising a lot of dust under their feet, which was enough to block the sight of many people...
"I never thought you could hold on for so long, kid."
The Wu army representative pressed the spear in his hand heavily towards the young soldier on the other horse. He said it as if he was boasting and relaxed, but in reality he had used all his strength and failed to suppress the opponent. He was very annoyed and cautious in his heart.
"I've known for a long time that the general is good at martial arts, and now I finally experience it firsthand."
The young soldier used his sword to block the spear. His movements seemed very strenuous, but his tone was very steady.
"Oh? You know me?"
"You must be General Yu, right? I've heard of your name a long time ago."
"Humph, it seems you are not so blind."
General Yu seemed a little pleased with himself at the compliment from the other side, but he knew that a stalemate would do more harm than good, so he had to distance himself again.
"Are you really a soldier stationed in Liancheng?"
"Why do you say that, General?"
"Nothing much, I just didn't know I'd meet a character like you in [Liancheng]. Compared to the previous ones, you have some foundation."
"Thank you very much for your appreciation, General. I am truly flattered."
"Tell me, who are you? What's your name?"
"I am a soldier from Liancheng, my name is Yang Shi."
"Yang Shi? Never heard of it."
"Of course. I am just a soldier. How can someone of the general's status know?"
"A mere soldier who can suppress this general? Ridiculous. Compared to the general you just represented, you are more like a general."
As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. If they had not fought before, General Yu would not be so sure. He felt that Yang Shi was more difficult to deal with than the general who had robbed him first, and his strength was difficult to estimate.
"I don't deserve it."
"Stop talking nonsense. I've wasted too much time with you. I'm going to finish you off in one go."
As he spoke, General Yu attacked Yang Shi again, with such a fast speed that it was hard to resist, but Yang Shi dodged him immediately. The two fought again and were evenly matched.
Unconsciously, after a long while, General Yu, the representative of the Wu army, dodged an attack. Because of the rapid consumption of physical strength, he left a gap. To be more precise, it was a mistake. This mistake was too obvious, so obvious that even General Su in the distance saw it clearly. He also saw that Yang Shi's sword took advantage of this mistake and swept across, chopping off General Yu's head. Instantly, there was a loud shout on the city wall, and the Wu army was speechless...
