After half a day of delay, the people on the field were still talking but not practicing. The prefectural soldiers who were watching the show below were a little impatient. Immediately, some people started to clamor loudly, while others desperately used their swords to hit their shields.
"Fight! Fight! Fight!" The soldiers knocked on their shields and shouted.
"Dang! Clang! Clang!" The sound of metal clashing filled the ears, shaking the blood vessels in people's bodies.
Seeing that the crowd was already agitated, Qian Shixiong waved his hand impatiently, signaling Niu Anshan to go up and fight Li Rui. He really couldn't be bothered to talk to this brother anymore.
As soon as Qian Shixiong left, the noise around him immediately disappeared. But then, the voices of discussion rang out again.
"That Li Rui is just a child. He looks like he's 15 or 16 years old? How dare you challenge us, the Left Guards?”
"That's right! I've seen Brigade Commander Niu's martial arts. His lance is at least 30 pounds. He can even knock over a cow, let alone this kid.”
……
Yu Wenshu, who was sitting on the left side of the iron staff, also seemed to be talking to himself."Tang Gong's chess game is very exquisite! Finding a child to humiliate the left guard was really too much!”
"Your ability doesn't depend on your age!" Iron Staff stroked his beard and replied loudly.
The current situation was what Mai Tiezhang was more willing to see. Both sides were just small colonel generals, and no matter who won or lost, the resentment between the two sides wouldn't be too deep. The commanders of both sides could just smile. Yu Wenshu probably did not want to see this situation, so he spoke up to sow discord again! Hmph, I won't be fooled again.
Thinking of this, Iron Staff waved his hand and ordered,"Men! Pass on my orders! Beat the drums to cheer for the two warriors!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the drums immediately rumbled.
Niu Anshan heard the drumbeats and straightened his armor. He galloped sixty steps away and turned around to face the enemy while raising his long spear.
As for Li Rui, he didn't move from his original position, not even drawing his saber.
Niu Anshan began to urge his warhorse to speed up. The lance in his hand was held straight. It was obvious that this was the most practical and powerful method for cavalry to charge. In terms of horse fighting skills, Niu Anshan's foundation was very solid. Even the most picky general could not find any problems with this charging posture.
Li Rui didn't have a horse lance. His weapon was a horizontal blade. Facing Niu Anshan's charge, he was simply unable to resist. It seemed that the outcome of this battle was already set in stone.
But for some reason, Li Rui still hadn't drawn his saber. Could it be that he was already scared silly?
The crowd had already started to stir. Li Yuan, Li Xiu Ning, Cui Jianren, Zheng Chong, and the others were all worried. Mai Tiezhang also had a puzzled look on his face, while Yu Wenshu was gloating. Only Li Shi Min and Wang Ba were still full of confidence in Li Rui.
Li Shiming knew that Li Rui wouldn't be scared. He must have been so calm because he had achieved something. Wang Ba had blind trust in Li Rui. He trusted Li Rui more than he trusted himself.
The distance between the two sides had shortened to thirty meters. Niu Anshan's warhorse had already charged forward. It was impossible to change the situation now. Realizing that Li Rui still hadn't moved, Niu Anshan subconsciously moved the lance in his hand to the side, but then immediately moved it back. He thought in his heart,[Brat, you're courting death. Don't blame me for being ruthless.]
Niu Anshan's actions did not escape Li Rui's sight. A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Originally, I only planned to shoot your helmet tassel. Now that you're asking for trouble, I'll fulfill your wish.
Li Rui moved. He did not draw his saber, but quickly held the strong bow on his back in his hand. At the same time, he nocked the Wolf Fang Arrow without any pause. The sharp arrow pierced through the air with an ear-piercing whistle.
"Whoosh!" The scene was in an uproar. Everyone was extremely surprised because no one saw clearly how Li Rui shot that arrow. It was as if taking the bow, stringing it, bending the bow, aiming, and firing were all completed in an instant. For others, it was five movements, but for Li Rui, it was as if it was only one movement.
"Is this cheering? Is it for my impending victory?”Niu Anshan heard the commotion and thought to himself.
However, in the next second, Niu Anshan realized that there were many golden stars in front of him. They were twinkling like many small eyes. Then, the world turned red.
Niu Anshan's warhorse rushed past Li Rui at an extremely fast speed, but he had already fallen to the ground, right beside Li Rui.
Most of the people at the scene didn't see what had happened clearly. It was as if Niu Anshan had fallen down himself. It was to the extent that the school grounds suddenly turned from extremely noisy to dead silent, and everyone subconsciously held their breaths. However, everyone understood that this was impossible. Niu Anshan must have been shot down by Li Rui, but most people didn't see clearly how that arrow hit Niu Anshan and where it hit.
After Li Rui took the warhorse away, everyone finally saw what was going on. Li Rui's arrow hit Niu Anshan's forehead. To be more precise, it hit the helmet, but the arrow pierced through the helmet. The remaining force had not dissipated, and it went through the brain.
What a fast arrow…What a precise arrow…What a powerful arrow…
It was so quiet that one could hear a feather falling to the ground. Almost everyone was shocked by this arrow, and no one was even sad or angry about Niu Anshan's death--Li Rui shot the helmet, you can't say he wanted Niu Anshan's life, right?
