There was silence outside the arena. Everyone's eyes were wide open as they watched this dramatic scene. They couldn't believe it. Even Yang Jian and Yang Lin, who were on the observation platform, opened their mouths in surprise. They didn't expect that the number one warrior of Great Sui, who they had conferred, would lose three rounds so quickly, and completely. This Li family's Third Prince was indeed a talent!
Yang Lin saw that Li Bing had defeated Yuwen Cheng in just a few moves and felt that it was not enough. However, even Yuwen Cheng could not defeat him, and no one in the arena could compare to him. This old man who was dedicated to the Great Sui Dynasty had a heart of love for talent. He looked at Li Bing with a hint of fondness in his eyes. At this moment, he accidentally caught sight of Li Yuanba, who was standing at the side with a hammer on his shoulder. He immediately asked Li Bing, who was walking towards the stage,"I first congratulate Little General Li on his victory.”
Li Bing quickly called Li Yuanba over and knelt down in front of Yang Jian and Yang Lin, saying,"Replying to the emperor's grandfather, this is my grandson's fourth brother, Yuan Ba. His martial arts are also very strong and are only on par with my grandson. My grandson and fourth brother are willing to serve the Great Sui and show their martial arts to the emperor.”
"Agreed!" Yang Jian and Yang Lin just happened to not be satisfied with watching just now. Seeing Li Bing introduce a younger brother who claimed to be on par with him, they were also interested and allowed the martial arts competition between them!
Li Bing and Li Yuanba thanked him. Li Yuanba had been taught by Li Bing over the years, and his mind was no different from an ordinary person's. He was just a little dull. Yang Lin looked at the two huge hammers on Li Yuanba's shoulders and asked with interest,"This Li…oh, Li Yuanba, you're so young and you're already using such a huge hammer. I wonder how heavy this hammer is?”
"Your Highness, this lowly one's hammer is called the Golden Hammer of the Drum-beating Urn, and it weighs 320 Jin!”Li Yuanba kowtowed.
"Oh, what great strength!" Yang Lin was a little surprised. It seemed that he had made the right choice to come to the drill ground today. He actually met two talents. He was very happy in his heart.
Under Yang Jian's signal, the guard found a set of Mingguang Armor for Li Yuanba to wear. Li Bing carried the halberd and mounted the horse. The Fire Jade Kylin that Li Bing was riding was no longer the same as before. The horse was already old, and Li Bing could not bear to give up on this servant who had lost him for so many years, so he kept it in captivity in the manor. The horse that he was riding on was almost the same as the original one. It was the offspring of the Fire Jade Kylin and a top-notch monkey from two years ago. The current Fire Jade Kylin had stronger endurance than its father, and it could run even faster.
Li Bing sat on his horse and saw Li Yuanba standing on the ground with a hammer in each hand. He then realized that Li Yuanba did not have a suitable mount. As the saying goes, it was common to find a talent, but it was difficult to find a horse of a thousand miles. In this era, most of the top horses had become the emperor's private collection in the Imperial Palace, so even the Tang Public House rarely had the chance to get a top horse. Even if they happened to get one or two, it was naturally Li Yuan who rode first, not Li Yuanba!
Yang Jian seemed to have noticed Li Yuanba's predicament and hurriedly said,"Come on, go get a horse for Li Yuanba!”
A general quickly led a black warhorse from behind. Li Yuanba climbed onto the horse with a hammer. Then, four soldiers lifted the hammer from the ground. Li Yuanba took the hammer. The horse was already more than 400 pounds, and now it weighed another 320 pounds. Even a strong warhorse felt very tired. The horse's hooves were shaking, and it looked like it couldn't take it. However, everyone's eyes were focused on the person who was fighting, so they did not see the tragic state of the horse.
Li Bing saw Li Yuanba get on his horse and get into a stance. He pressed his legs on the horse's belly and urged the horse to charge at Li Yuanba. Li Yuanba saw Li Bing rushing over. Although these two brothers often sparred, they had never fought on horseback. Li Yuanba was also very excited and shouted,"Good timing!" This shout was like a clap of thunder on the ground, and it startled the horse. Li Yuanba clamped his legs on the horse's belly and prepared to charge at Li Bing.
Who would have thought that the horse was already trembling and weak, and after being frightened by Li Yuanba just now, it had already tensed up. Li Yuanba had great strength, and this involuntary pinch was like the last straw that crushed the donkey. The horse first let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground with a " pounce ". Even Li Yuanba was caught off guard and fell down with a dusty face. When the onlookers saw Li Yuanba fall off the horse before he could move, they all laughed out loud. Even Yang Jian, who was on the stage, was overjoyed. He was laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe. Only Li Yuan's family sat there in embarrassment.
Yang Lin saw that Li Yuanba had fallen strangely and was puzzled. He summoned a guard to whisper in his ear. After hearing this, the guard bowed to Yang Lin and ran off the stage.
When he arrived in front of the horse, he pulled the reins and tried to pull the horse up. The horse struggled to stand up, but in the end, it fell down weakly. The guard cut the saddle off with his knife and reached out to touch the horse's back. Instinctively, he felt that the spot where he touched was soft. He immediately knelt down and shouted,"Reporting to the emperor, wangye, this horse's back was snapped by little general Li!”
As soon as he shouted, the laughter suddenly stopped. Everyone seemed to have heard something unbelievable. They looked at Li Yuanba as if they were looking at a monster. Oh my god, he broke the horse's back. How much strength did he have? How could a 14 - 15 year old kid have such strength?
Yang Lin heard the guard's answer and confirmed his thoughts. He happily cupped his fists in front of the stunned Yang Jian and congratulated him,"Congratulations, Imperial Brother. Today, we have two tiger generals from the Li family. God is really blessing our Great Sui!”Then, he turned to Li Yuan and said," Like father, like son. The young Duke of Tang followed His Majesty to conquer the world. Now, these two pillars of the country have appeared in your residence. Congratulations. They are indeed worthy of being the pillars of our Great Sui! Duke Tang, this king congratulates you! The day of the Li family's meteoric rise had arrived!”
"I'm ashamed, ashamed!" Li Yuan quickly stood up and replied humbly. In fact, his heart was still filled with pride. He was very happy to see his fourth son, whom he disliked the most, give him a lot of face in front of the Emperor today. At the same time, he felt guilty for neglecting Li Yuanba for the past fourteen years.
"Men, change a horse for little general Li. Bring the best warhorse in your camp to my little general!”Yang Jian was very happy to see Li Yuanba being so brave. As for Yuwen Cheng, who had been standing on the side of the observation platform under Li Bing, he was ignored. Yuwen Cheng couldn't help but hate Li Bing.
A soldier led a large red horse into the arena and handed the reins to Li Yuanba. Then, Li Yuanba mounted the horse and took the sledgehammer from the soldiers. With a solemn expression, he got into position.
This horse was really the best horse in the camp. It was originally the mount of the Patrol General in the camp, but now it was brought here for Li Yuanba to use temporarily. The Patrol General's mount was really not bad. After Li Yuanba got on the horse, it actually did not tremble. It was worthy of praise. One point!
Seeing that Li Yuanba was ready, Li Bing rushed over. His legs were in stirrers, and he didn't hold onto the reins. He gripped his halberd tightly with both hands and stabbed towards Li Yuanba. Li Yuanba also urged his horse forward. Having learned his lesson just now, he only lightly clamped his horse's belly. The horse immediately spread out its four hooves and ran, but it didn't run fast. As it ran, it was tired and panting heavily. White smoke came out from its big nostrils.
Seeing Li Bing approaching him, Li Yuan Ba swung his hammer towards Li Bing's halberd head. Although Li Bing's halberd wasn't light, it was still a hundred kilograms weaker than Li Yuan Ba's hammer. Moreover, Li Bing's halberd head was a sturdy blade, so how could it clash head-on with Li Yuan Ba's hammer? Li Bing immediately retracted his halberd and changed his move. He pulled back and twisted, and the halberd shaft whistled towards Li Yuan Ba's ribs. Li Yuan Ba's hand was still holding the hammer to block, while his right hand hurriedly swung the hammer to block his ribs. Li Bing's halberd fiercely collided with Li Yuanba's hammer head. With a loud bang, the huge reaction force forced the two horses to take two steps back. Li Bing clamped his horse again, and the Fire Jade Kylin immediately stopped retreating and rushed forward. Li Bing relied on the dexterity of the halberd to stab, causing Li Yuanba to be flustered. Li Bing seized the opportunity and swung his halberd horizontally. Li Yuanba hurriedly raised his hammer to block, and with a force of his feet, a light "Pa" sound was heard. Li Yuanba only felt the air beneath him disappear, and his center of gravity involuntarily shifted forward before he fell to the ground again.
This horse's back was broken by Li Yuanba again…
It was completely silent outside the arena. Oh my god, in just a short while, he had crippled two horses. This young general was really the end of the warhorse…
Yang Jian was also stunned, then he called out "Okay" three times in a row. He turned back to look at Li Yuan and said with a smile,"Li Yuan, you gave birth to two good grandsons for me!”
Li Yuan hurriedly kowtowed to thank the Emperor for his praise. As for the Patrol General standing below the stage, he looked at his mount that was lying on the ground and could no longer stand up. His heart ached.
However, the horse that had just died was already the best horse in the camp. It had only been a dozen rounds before it was crippled. If Li Yuanba were to go into battle in the future, how many horses would follow him? He was probably the only one in Li Yuanba's camp. The rest were all horses, the soldiers thought.
"Men, bring this one's Lamp for a Thousand Miles to Little General Li!”Yang Jian said to the guard beside him when he saw that there was no good horse for Li Yuanba to ride on.
" Your Majesty, this..." The guard looked at Yang Jian with a troubled expression. The Thousand Miles Lamp was a precious horse that the Dayuan Kingdom had just presented to Yang Jian. Yang Jian was very fond of this horse. When he heard that Li Yuanba was going to ride it, the guard looked worried, afraid that it would fall into Li Yuanba's hands again.
"It's fine. Compared to a horse, a tiger general is still rare!”Yang Jian indicated for the guard to do as ordered. The guard had no choice but to lead the horse.
Not long after, a white horse without a single stray hair was led into the arena. Li Yuanba looked at the horse and could not help but spit out two words," Good horse!”
The horse was indeed a precious horse. When it reached Li Yuanba, it saw that Li Yuanba was holding the hammer with both hands and was unable to get on the horse. It actually lay down in front of him and signaled Li Yuanba to get on it. Li Yuanba and the others were very surprised. After they got on the horse, the horse stood up effortlessly.
Li Bing had previously heard from the guard that this was the Emperor's newly acquired Da Wan horse, a lamp for a thousand miles. He thought to himself that it was indeed a famous horse from the Sui and Tang Dynasties that could carry Li Yuanba. It lived up to its reputation. Seeing that Li Yuanba was ready again, he whistled and charged at Li Yuanba for the third time with his halberd.
