Chapter 409 Xue Liang: My suggestion is to ask Lao Si to come and kill Qin Qiong.
"Banbang people?"
Yang Lin was startled when he saw the person who had arrived.
What alarmed him even more was the man's bravery.
With two hammers and a staff, he wielded them from both sides, and in a single sweep, several soldiers from Dengzhou fell to the ground; none could withstand his attack.
Yang Lin's gaze darkened, and without hesitation, he ordered a retreat.
Continuing the fight will only increase casualties and will not benefit the overall situation.
Jiang Song deftly deflected Luo Shixin and Qin Yong's weapons with his five-pointed pistol, the tip of the pistol flashing left and right.
Like a serpent spitting its tongue, it cleverly overcame brute force, forcing both men to retreat several steps.
Taking advantage of the moment, he turned and unleashed his spear.
They covered Zuo Xiong and the others as they fought and retreated, slowly disengaging from the battlefield.
"What a master! Let me have a go at you!"
Tuoba Lang Sima looked around and saw that the Sui army was retreating.
Only the general wielding the silver spear remained at the rear, calmly facing two opponents alone, and a sense of excitement, like seeing a prey in his heart, arose within him.
He grabbed the octagonal hammer, squeezed the horse's flanks with his legs, and the black-maned warhorse neighed loudly, heading straight for Jiang Song.
Although his strength was not as fierce and brutal as Luo Shixin's, his moves were methodical and well-coordinated, thanks to the proper use of his two weapons and his organized attacks.
As soon as they started fighting, Jiang Song's brows furrowed slightly.
The enemy has sent another formidable general, whose fighting style is completely different from Luo Shixin's, which relies purely on brute force. He is even more difficult to deal with.
Qin Yong was already troubled by Luo Shixin alone, but with this other person added to the mix, it was truly difficult to deal with.
"Brother Jiang, retreat immediately!"
Xue Liang had already retreated to a safe place. Looking back, he saw that Jiang Song was still fighting with the enemy general, and Luo Shixin was supporting him from the side. He was so anxious that he shouted loudly.
He only regretted that he was incompetent and unable to get involved, and could only watch anxiously from afar.
"it is good."
Seeing that all the Sui generals had withdrawn, Jiang Song lost his will to continue the fight.
He used skill to find an opportunity, feinting a thrust that forced his opponent to withdraw and dodge.
Taking advantage of the lull, he spurred his horse and rode away.
For a time, only Qin Qiong's forces remained on the battlefield.
"Brother will be unhappy if we fail to kill the old man."
Luo Shixin, leaning on his heavy iron spear, looked in the direction Yang Lin had retreated and said with great reluctance.
It's alright.
Today's battle shows that Yang Lin does not have many fierce generals under his command.
Apart from the one wielding the spear, the rest are no threat. My godfather will surely defeat the Sui army.
Qin put away the brass gourd hammer and wiped the blood from his face.
His focus remained on the big picture, and he did not dwell on personal grudges.
Battlefield warfare is a matter of life and death, where the victor is king and the loser is a bandit. What kind of hatred or grudge is this?
If you can't even see this point, then all those years of fighting on the battlefield have been for nothing.
Tuoba Lang Sima did not speak, but silently watched Qin Yong and Luo Shixin.
It seems that not all of Qin Qiong's men were useless; there were still some capable fighters among them.
He originally planned to use the excuse that Qin Qiong had no fierce generals under his command and was unable to resist the Sui army to force him to cede half of Youzhou as a price.
But now that he has seen firsthand that Luo Shixin and Qin Yong both possess remarkable abilities, it is no longer appropriate to bring up this topic.
"My friend who has traveled from afar, the Heavenly King cordially invites you!"
Zhou Jingfang, one of the four generals, rode up and greeted Tuoba Lang Sima with great enthusiasm, his face full of smiles.
Immediately, the troops withdrew and returned towards the main camp.
Meanwhile, Yang Lin led his men back to the main tent.
He took off his armor and handed it to his personal guard, revealing his undergarment, which was soaked with sweat.
He leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest, his brow furrowed for a long time.
Today's battle resulted in the slaying of two enemy generals, a minor victory.
But the appearance of that general later cast a shadow over his heart.
The battle in Hebei seems to be not as easy as he had imagined.
"Send someone to find out who that general is."
After pondering for a moment, Yang Lin gave instructions to his trusted confidant.
Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to survive a hundred battles.
He needs to find out more about that person before he can make any further plans.
"Godfather, if all else fails, why don't we ask Zilie to come?"
Seeing Yang Lin's worried expression, Xue Liang stepped forward and cautiously probed.
He was quite confident, having killed many enemies and generals.
I felt like I had really made a name for myself in front of my nephew and niece, and I was walking with a swagger.
But today's battle shattered his confidence in an instant.
These enemies are all fiercer and more difficult to deal with than the last.
To win this battle, we still need to bring in outside help.
"Shut up."
Yang Lin suddenly raised his head, his gaze sharp as a knife, and began to lecture Xue Liang without any politeness.
"How can you grow if you always seek alternative solutions and others to solve your problems when you encounter setbacks?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it was so loud that Xue Liang couldn't lift his head.
Can Lü Xiao save the Sui Dynasty once, ten times, or even a thousand times?
This time it's Lü Xiao in Dongdu, but what about next time?
If one day Lü Xiao is no longer in the Eastern Capital or in the Great Sui Dynasty, who can they invite?
Moreover, Lü Xiao has been fighting in various places, conquering all corners of the Sui Dynasty, never stopping for a moment.
Now that we've finally returned to Dongdu, and haven't even had a chance to sit down properly, how can we drag him back into the battlefield?
Let him rest for a while.
If we really can't defeat Qin Qiong, we can always invite him over.
"If the method works, then use it... You're such a stubborn old man."
Xue Liang lowered his head and kept muttering to himself.
Although the sound was soft, it still reached everyone's ears clearly in the quiet tent.
The generals in the tent all lowered their heads; these two bodyguards really couldn't stand not being beaten for a day.
"Second Uncle, keep your voice down."
Lü Jing tugged at Xue Liang's sleeve, tilted her head up, and whispered a reminder.
Although she was young, she was already able to read people's expressions and moods.
Grandfather's face was already very unpleasant; if Second Uncle continued speaking, he was afraid he would get a beating.
"You must not get stuck on trivial matters in the future; you must learn to be flexible."
If you can't do something, don't do it. Find someone who can do it to do it. That's the way a smart person lives...
Xue Liang looked down at his little niece and couldn't help but mutter a few more words.
But as he was talking, he lowered his head and saw a pair of shoes in front of him.
The shoes were stained with mud and blood, and the boot shafts were embroidered with the cloud patterns unique to the Prince Kaoshan's mansion.
He looked up from the shoes and was immediately struck by his godfather's ashen face.
"Get out of here!"
Yang Lin grabbed Xue Liang by the back of the neck with one hand, lifted him up like a chick, strode outside the tent, and suddenly flung him away.
Xue Liang flew through the air in an arc before crashing solidly to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
It's fair to say he's stubborn.
You can't just teach Lü Heng and Lü Jing randomly!
"Grandfather, is Father really like the one in the portrait?"
When Lü Heng heard his second uncle say that he wanted to invite his father over, his originally calm and composed face showed a hint of joy, and his eyes lit up.
The light emanating from him was not the usual calm and restrained demeanor, but rather a child's natural longing for his father.
