Chapter 220: I can't raise my head in my life
Han Yaojun didn't say anything, but glanced at Qi Jianshu deeply. Qi Jianshu was not an impulsive person. It was obvious that they had the upper hand and their military strength was several times that of their North Gate.
As long as they keep attacking the city, no matter how powerful Han Yaojun and Chu Xi are in martial arts and how brave they are in fighting, they will eventually be able to capture Xi'an.
It's just a matter of time to win.
So...why is Qi Jianshu suddenly challenging us now?
He did not agree to Han Ziyu's request to fight. The deputy general under the city wall had no choice but to bite the bullet and start using the most common way of cursing because Qi Jianshu was behind him, forcing the Great Zhou soldiers on the north gate to unable to bear the humiliation.
He planned to use provocation to force Han Yaojun to accept the challenge.
"A bunch of cowards. Do you think you can avoid this battle by hiding in there all the time?" The deputy general was also a man who was good at changing his attitude according to the situation. Since his "civilized" challenge would not bring anyone out.
He decisively changed his strategy and chose to target Han Yaojun. "I heard that your chief general has been replaced by Han Yaojun. The Han family is a great military family. I didn't expect that a military family would actually train a coward who can only hide!"
The rebels behind him started to make a fuss and kept calling him a coward.
It’s not that the words were harsh, but the scene was indeed... a bit infuriating!
Qi Jianshu's intention was obvious. His challenge was to force them to retreat. If they delayed in responding, even if their morale would not drop sharply, the defenders of Xi'an would inevitably feel aggrieved.
"General, just let me go. I will definitely win!" Han Ziyu couldn't bear to see his subordinates humiliating Han Yaojun like this. He clenched his fists and glanced coldly at the rebel deputy general who was shouting the loudest.
"Go ahead." Han Yaojun was silent for a moment, and finally agreed to Han Ziyu's request to fight.
Han Ziyu finally got Han Yaojun's approval. Naturally, he raised his hands to support himself on the city wall without saying a word, then jumped down and landed easily.
In order to fight, he deliberately replaced his sword with a spear. The Han family’s best skill was not swordsmanship, but spearmanship.
The person who came to fight was not the young man Qi Jianshu wanted to fight. The deputy general knew who Qi Jianshu wanted to fight, and turned to look at him with an embarrassed and tangled face, as if silently asking him -
Does he still want to come out and fight?
Qi Jianshu raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw that the person coming down had good skills. Although he was a little interested, the arrogance in his bones made him subconsciously look down on Han Ziyu.
He felt that Han Ziyu was not powerful enough for him to take action, so he let other people deal with this small fry.
Therefore, he gave the task of fighting to the deputy general who had challenged him earlier, and said with little interest, "Just play with him for a while. If you lose, you'd better replace him as the deputy general!"
Qi Jianshu's words made the deputy general feel a lot more pressured. He had originally thought that if he could win, he would win, and if he couldn't win, it didn't matter, but his face immediately became solemn.
Having become a rebel, he has no way out.
He now deeply understands the saying that when you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
The deputy general was waving the long sword in his hand, which was very similar in appearance to the broadsword that Guan Yu was good at using. However, it was hard to say whether he could be as unstoppable as Guan Yu and defeat ten opponents with one force.
Under tremendous psychological pressure, the deputy general took a deep breath, steeled himself, brandished his long sword with one hand, and reined in the other, and galloped towards Han Ziyu who was standing alone at the gate of the city wall.
Seeing this, Han Ziyu stood still where he was, holding the spear tightly without saying a word, his sharp dark eyes staring at the rebels who were riding towards him quickly.
Ready to strike, just waiting for the other party to get close.
Anyone who can sit in the position of deputy general, even if his martial arts skills are not outstanding, must have some skills.
Chu Xi and others stood on the wall, staring down at the fight between the two people below. In the first round of contact, both of them tried their best, the spear and the long sword collided, and neither of them gave in.
The moves were the most common stabs, sweeps, and retractions. Han Ziyu was slightly ahead of his opponent in strength, so although he didn't knock the opponent down directly in this round of fighting...
But it also made the rebel sitting high on the horse look a little embarrassed. He hurriedly retracted his long sword, pulled the reins, and using the force of the horse's raised head, he turned the horse around and temporarily separated from Han Ziyu.
He wouldn't lose to Han Ziyu in the first round.
Han Ziyu calmed himself down. Even though he felt that the other party might not be his opponent, he did not rush to catch up at this moment, but continued to stay where he was.
A long spear stood on the ground, and his cold eyes stared at the rebel general who was cautious.
"Didn't you keep saying that you wanted to fight me? Why do you get scared as soon as I come down?" Han Ziyu is a man of few words, but when he gets angry, he can make people so angry that they vomit blood on the spot.
Deputy General, "......"
He was just responsible for challenging the opponent and never thought about fighting back.
"You are so cowardly and afraid of trouble, yet you still have the nerve to shout?" He sneered mercilessly, "If your parents, wives and children knew that you had become rebels, worked for the enemy country, and pointed your swords at the people of the Great Zhou, I'm afraid they would die of shame for your actions!"
It is still unknown how many people in Xianyang City were killed, but one thing is beyond doubt.
It is impossible that Qi Jianshu took over Xianyang City without shedding a drop of blood. Casualties were inevitable.
Han Ziyu's every word pierced their hearts, "You'd better pray that you will never go home again in this life, otherwise, your parents, wife and children will be criticized by the neighbors because of your behavior, and you will never be able to hold your head up!"
These words hit upon the most fearful and worrying things in the hearts of some of the rebels.
The impolite and even harsh words revealed the cruel truth that the rebels were most reluctant to face, and made the already weak morale of the army become uneasy again.
The deputy general clenched the sword in his hand again and again. Even the most cowardly person will have family members he cares about. Han Ziyu's words hit the nail on the head.
Qi Jianshu frowned slightly. If he let him continue talking, he was afraid that the surrendered soldiers in Xianyang City would rebel again before Xi'an City was taken.
Although they were originally part of the Great Zhou army, it was understandable that they rebelled and returned to the Great Zhou army camp...
However, Qi Jianshu did not dispatch the Western Chu army. If he really allowed them to change as they pleased, then the originally good situation would also change accordingly.
He glanced sideways and gave a look to his confidant. Upon seeing this, the confidant immediately understood what he meant. Without saying a word, he dismounted and walked towards the team. His sharp and cold eyes searched the faces of the Zhou rebels one by one.
Until... he noticed that someone didn't dare to meet his gaze, his eyes flickered, and Qi's confidant drew his sword without saying a word, and stabbed it into the rebel's abdomen with great force and accuracy.
"!"
Everyone was shocked and frightened when they saw this.
