Chapter 157: Glory and hardship

Views:

Dressed in black and as fast as lightning, Yan Dan completely gave up on his horse and used his unparalleled lightness kung fu. He stepped on the heads of the soldiers and suddenly ran in front of Zhang Fei.

"Reckless man, stop being so arrogant!" Yan Dan shouted loudly, waving the long sword in his hand, black inner energy spurting out.

"Despicable villain, you know how to attack secretly, look at my spear!" Zhang Fei broke out in a cold sweat when he saw that he had killed a person behind him unexpectedly, and he was still a first-rate master.

A spear was pointed out, and the long spear shadow turned into a long dragon, winding out, causing waves of air, and the surrounding area of more than ten meters was rolled up and turned into debris and flew out.

"Damn it, this guy reacts so quickly!" He secretly said this in his heart. Yan Dan quickly turned around and retreated, avoiding the blow. He was not a dexterous person like him in a head-on confrontation with such a reckless man. What a swordsman is good at.

Yan Dan kept flashing around, using his flexible Qinggong to surround Zhang Fei bit by bit, constantly looking for his weak spots and waiting for opportunities.

Zhang Fei, on the other hand, danced his spear so airtight that even though it was difficult for him to avoid it, he did not care, thrust the spear straight in the direction of Yan Dan's attack, and looked like they would both die together.

In Zhang Fei's mind, he is thick-skinned and thick-skinned, and he practices external martial arts, supplemented by internal martial arts. It goes without saying that the defense is strong, the blood volume is sufficient, and each one is very durable.

But the prince of the Yan Kingdom across from him was different. He was born into a noble family and had been well clothed and well-fed since he was a child. After returning to China, he has been busy with political affairs and intrigues. Even though his martial arts skills have not fallen behind and he practices diligently, how much energy can he put in!

Therefore, although he has first-class strength, it is still in the early stages and has just stabilized. There is nothing special about him. He relies on his flexible movement and the flexible skills of a swordsman to gain a temporary upper hand around him.

But after a while, I slowly adapted to his attacks. After I had a way to deal with them, I still didn't know who would win.

And even if they exchange injuries for injuries, their spears are thicker than his swords, and their strength is greater than his. If the injuries are on each of them, who will be injured more seriously will be worth it or not. Only each of them knows in their hearts.

As for the small wounds he stabbed on his body, although it can have a slight impact on his body, it is insignificant and does not affect the performance of his strength.

As for this injury, as long as the fighting stops and you give yourself some time to circulate your inner energy to heal the injury, it will only take two or three days to recover, so it is not worth worrying about.

Therefore, with this premise, Zhang Fei was desperate for his life in the fight, forcing Yan Dan to have the upper hand every time, but he was afraid of his own life and could only retreat, giving up this great opportunity.

"Damn it, why is this barbarian so desperate? He looks like he is losing both sides! He obviously has the upper hand and is more powerful, but how could it be like this!" Yan Dan said secretly in his heart, looking furious.

Do you really want to fight him and lose both sides? But I am the prince of the Yan Kingdom, and if the Yan Kingdom is not destroyed, I will be the future king.

How could he die together with such an insignificant general and a reckless man? Even if he hurt his own body and caused damage to his body, his position as the crown prince might be shaken.

No, absolutely not. How could I lose my bright future because of this reckless man

With this concern in his heart, Yan Dan naturally slowed down his movements and became more cautious in his actions, fearing that he would be injured and leave himself vulnerable, and then lose his life on this murderous battlefield. .

At this time, Yan Dan was not the giant of the Mohist family in the future. He had experienced the destruction of his country and his family, the pain of his wife and children being separated, and he had also experienced life and death disasters several times. For example, the disaster of being killed by Wei Zhuang was a disaster that almost everyone in the world was shocked by, and it was also hidden from Wei Zhuang.

At that time, although he was defeated by others just after he appeared on the stage, there was no doubt that his strength was extremely powerful. Even if he was pretending, he did not dare to say that he was stronger than him, and even seemed to be showing weakness.

You know, at that time, the disguise and strength were top-notch in the late stage. In the whole world, it can be said that he stood among the dozen or so people.

However, Yan Dan was able to force him to retreat. His strength was definitely among the best among the first-rate late-stage players, not inferior to Wei Zhuang, and even better by a few points.

Nowadays, although Yan Dan is concerned about the country and its people, and works hard to find opportunities to save the country, deep down, he still has the pride of being the heir to the royal family of the Yan Kingdom, and is proud of his surname that has been passed down for thousands of years. Just look down on those low-born untouchables.

If he has not experienced enough pain, how can he achieve enough growth!

One was not sure and did not dare to attack with all his strength, while the other could not understand the opponent's tricks and could only defend as much as possible. Between you and me, the situation became deadlocked and time was delayed.

Although Yan Dan did achieve his goal, interrupting Zhang Fei's lead charge, causing the knights around Zhang Fei to stop, they could only fight on their own, and even had to separate some of them to look after their own generals.

But the Yan State also lost its commander. Prince Dan took the lead and was leaderless. The situation became even more corrupt. The quick victory originally envisioned by Prince Dan became empty talk after encountering a fool like Zhang Fei.

And how could Zhao Zilong's other four generals miss this great opportunity? He even worked hard to lead his troops to attack and attack again, directly beating the Yan State cavalry to pieces, which was still relatively concentrated. It was no longer possible to assemble a cavalry team of more than a thousand people.

The essence of cavalry is to charge together, unless you are archers or rangers, they mainly harass the infantry.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, those lancers and sword cavalry would be a head-on confrontation between the two armies. Gather enough people, rely on the impact of the horses, and use a dense formation to defeat the enemy's formation, thereby achieving a point of breaking through and disrupting the enemy's formation.

There is no doubt that today's British army has completely lost this ability. In addition, as archer rangers, facing the imperial soldiers who are also cavalry is also a joke. They are not infantry and can only Stay where you are and be beaten passively.

The war horses of the Yu State are faster than those of the Yan State. The war horses taken from Donghu are fatter and stronger than those of the Yan State, and their various performances are superior.

The grassland peoples seem to have one of their only few advantages at this point.

And don't forget that every imperial cavalryman carries a hand crossbow and a bow and arrow on his back. Just now, he just rushed too close and had no time to release, so he missed the long-range strike.
