Chapter 119 Su Changmei vs. Su Quanzhong
Under the city of Jizhou, dust was flying, horse hooves were thundering, and a tall figure came breaking through the wind.
Su Changmei, wearing silver armor and holding a spear, his horse was as fast as lightning and stopped at the gate of Jizhou city in an instant.
He raised his head, his eyes as sharp as torches, shooting straight up the city wall, where the garrison of Jizhou Hou Su Hu was standing ready for battle.
Su Changmei looked at the defenders on the tower, his voice echoing like thunder in the city below, full of majesty and power, he shouted:
"Listen, traitor Su Hu, I am a general under the command of Marquis Xibo, Su Changmei!"
Every word he said was like the impact of iron and stone, carrying with it unquestionable dominance.
The guards on the city wall were startled by the shout, and their eyes showed a bit of panic and anxiety.
Su Changmei continued, "Rebel Su Hu, you disobeyed the king's orders, betrayed the Shang Dynasty, and committed a heinous crime. Today, I am here on the orders of the Marquis of Xibo to attack you, the traitor."
"If you know what's best for you, you can quickly open the city and surrender, and you can still save your life. Otherwise, the day the city is captured will be the day you die!"
Su Hu, Marquis of Jizhou, who was on the city wall, listened to Su Changmei shouting over and over again. His face remained calm, and his eyes revealed calmness and determination.
However, Su Hu's calmness did not affect his son Su Quanzhong who was beside him.
Su Quanzhong was young and full of energy, and his blood was boiling. He couldn't bear to hear Su Changmei insulting his father over and over again.
He clenched his fists and his eyes flashed with anger that seemed like it would explode at any moment.
Finally, Su Quanzhong could no longer suppress his inner impulse. He bowed to Su Hu and said in a firm and urgent voice:
"Father, I beg to fight! Please allow me to lead a team of elite soldiers out of the city to fight Su Changmei. I will definitely take him down and make Jizhou City famous."
Su Hu heard this, pondered for a moment, looked at Su Quanzhong with a firm gaze in front of him, took a deep breath, nodded and said:
"Okay, then my son Quanzhong will fight the first battle. But you must remember that the battlefield is ever-changing, so you must be careful. If you cannot defeat the enemy, retreat immediately!"
"Yes, father, you just stay on the city wall and watch how I capture Su Changmei." Su Quanzhong responded.
After saying that, Su Quanzhong turned and left, quickly gathering a team of elite soldiers.
Under the leadership of Su Quanzhong, everyone walked out of Jizhou City. The elite soldiers lined up at the city gate and cheered for Su Quanzhong.
Su Quanzhong looked at Su Changmei who was still chattering in front of him and shouted:
"You brat! How arrogant! I'm here to fight you!"
Before he finished speaking, Su Quanzhong had already rode out on his horse, the iron halberd in his hand shining coldly in the sunlight.
He wielded the iron halberd, like a flash of lightning that cut through the sky, and rushed straight towards Su Changmei.
Seeing this, Su Changmei was unwilling to be outdone. She waved the spear in her hand and rushed towards Su Quanzhong.
“——clang!!”
The two men's weapons collided in the air, making a deafening roar.
Where the iron halberd and the spear collided, sparks flew, as if lighting up the entire battlefield.
Su Quanzhong was shocked to see Su Changmei catch his iron halberd steadily. He thought that his attack was powerful enough to push the opponent back several steps, but he did not expect that Su Changmei could handle it so calmly.
This made him look at the general under the command of King Xibo with new respect, and at the same time it also strengthened his determination to defeat the other party.
"Good skills! Come again!"
Su Quanzhong shouted loudly and swung the iron halberd again, attacking Su Changmei.
Seeing this, Su Changmei quickly adjusted her state, gripped her spear tightly, and met Su Quanzhong's attack.
The two men's weapons collided in the air again, making an even louder roar.
This time, Su Quanzhong's attack was more fierce, and Su Changmei's defense was more tight.
The two of them fought back and forth, attacking and defending, and the battle was difficult to resolve.
On the fierce battlefield, the confrontation between Su Quanzhong and Su Changmei has entered a white-hot stage.
Although Su Quanzhong was brave, facing Su Changmei's storm-like attack, he gradually felt powerless and was firmly suppressed by the opponent.
Su Changmei's spear flew across the battlefield like a dragon, and every attack was accompanied by a fierce gust of wind, heading straight for Su Quanzhong's vital points.
Although Su Quanzhong's iron halberd was powerful, it seemed a bit clumsy in front of Su Changmei's superb spear skills.
He could only barely fend off the opponent's attacks and try to find opportunities to counterattack.
Bei Bohou's eyes were fixed on the fierce battle between Su Quanzhong and Su Changmei in the center of the battlefield. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes flashed with recognition of Su Changmei's strength.
He turned around and said to Xibohou Jichang beside him with a hint of approval in his voice:
"Lord Xibo, you are truly a hidden talent! With such extraordinary strength, no wonder you appear so calm and composed in this battle."
Xibohou Jichang smiled slightly, with a humble look on his face. He stroked his beard lightly and responded:
"Mr. Beibo is too kind. Su Changmei is a fierce general under my command. He does have extraordinary martial arts and combat experience."
"But Su Quanzhong should not be underestimated. He is so powerful at such a young age. It is still unknown who will win or lose between the two of them."
Upon hearing this, Beibohou Chonghouhu waved his hand, and said bluntly with an unquestionable certainty in his voice:
"Hey! Needless to say, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Su Changmei will win. From the beginning till now, Su Changmei's offensive has been as turbulent as a tide, suppressing Su Quanzhong and leaving him with almost no power to fight back."
Chong Houhu's gaze turned to the battlefield again, and he saw Su Changmei's spear flying on the battlefield like a dragon, and every attack was precise and fierce.
Although Su Quanzhong was brave, he seemed powerless under Su Changmei's suppression and could only fight back with difficulty.
"Su Changmei's spear skills are exquisite, her moves are sharp, and she is experienced and good at catching the opponent's flaws."
Chong Houhu continued to analyze, "In comparison, although Su Quanzhong is brave, he obviously lacks the strength to match Su Changmei. The result of such a duel is obvious."
When Xibo Hou Jichang heard what Beibo Hou Chonghouhu said, he smiled and said nothing, just watching the battle in front of him.
On the city wall, Su Hu frowned and followed his son's figure closely.
Seeing that Su Quanzhong was gradually losing the battle, he couldn't help but feel worried.
However, when he thought of his conversation with Ji Chang, and saw that the person Ji Chang sent to challenge him was the general of Xiqi, he knew that his son's life would not be in danger.
Then, the worries in my heart gradually subsided and I continued to watch the battle in front of me.
Sure enough, Su Changmei, who was originally in an advantageous position, suddenly exposed a flaw for some reason.
Seeing this, Su Quanzhong swung his iron halberd and chopped towards Su Changmei's chest with a whistling sound.
"Qiang——!!!"
With a loud bang, the tip of the iron halberd instantly cut through Su Changmei's armor, leaving a deep mark.
Su Quanzhong approached Su Changmei again and took advantage of Su Changmei's surprise to knock him off his horse with one blow.
After Su Changmei was knocked off his horse, he did not want to fight anymore and simply abandoned his horse and ran back to the Xiqi camp.
Beibohou Chonghouhu opened his eyes wide and looked at Su Changmei's embarrassed and staggering figure fleeing back to Xiqi camp. The astonishment on his face was frozen like a frozen lake.
He turned his head and spoke to Ji Chang, the King of Xibo, beside him, with obvious disbelief and a hint of doubt in his voice.
"This...this...really caught me off guard!"
Chonghouhu stammered, as if trying to emphasize his shock by repeating himself, "Xibohou, are you sure... this... this is really not planned to be released?"
His voice was full of doubt and his eyes were fixed on Ji Chang, trying to find a hint of guilt or a flaw on his face.
However, Ji Chang still maintained a calm smile, as if he had anticipated all this.
"Beibo Hou, please think carefully before you speak."
Ji Chang frowned when he heard this and said slowly:
"I did not make any arrangements to let him win. On the battlefield, victory and defeat are common. Although Su Changmei is brave, Su Quanzhong is no ordinary man. He was able to seize the opportunity and defeat Su Changmei in one fell swoop, all thanks to his own strength and wisdom."
Hearing Ji Chang's words, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Chonghouhu's face.
But the doubts in his heart remained unsolved. He pondered for a moment and asked again:
"Then...then why did Su Changmei lose to Su Quanzhong so easily? He clearly had the upper hand before..."
"Marquis Beibo, you have experienced countless battlefields. The battlefield is unpredictable. There are so many examples of turning defeat into victory. Why do you think that I let you win this time?" Marquis Xibo said in a deep voice.
When Beibohou heard what Xibohou said, he realized that he always had preconceived ideas. He thought that Xibohou and Jizhouhou Su Hu must be related by marriage and were friends for many years, so Xibohou might let him win on the battlefield.
Then, Beibohou Chonghouhu said to Xibohou:
"Maybe I'm overthinking it. Since Su Changmei has been defeated, I will go and fight him this time."
After saying this, without waiting for Ji Chang to reply, Beibohou rode his war horse and galloped towards Su Quanzhong.
Leaving behind the stunned King Xibo.
