Duan Peng originally didn't want to cause any more trouble. After settling the matter with Zhangsun Chong, he would leave this place. But who knew that he would clash with Cheng Zhijie again. He was convinced by his unyielding personality.
However, on second thought, this might not be a good opportunity. After all, he and Xu Guang no longer had the livelihood of Hongling people. The only way out was to join the army. The competition with Cheng Zhijie might be a good opportunity to earn a living.
The Left Guards were renowned for their combat prowess in the Great Tang, especially after Cheng Zhijie became the Great General of the Left Guards.
Very quickly, the troops from before had brought twelve ordinary generals from the Left Guards. Each of them was tall and muscular. Other than their bright armor, they only had a horizontal saber hanging from their waists.
A broadsword was generally 70 to 80 centimeters long, with a blade length of 50 to 60 centimeters and a thickness of 6 to 8 millimeters. Its width was also slightly smaller than a real Han sword, usually between 3 to 4 centimeters. It was very similar to a machete of the later generation.
Even though the twelve Left Guards had neat postures and expressionless faces, the contempt that naturally revealed in their eyes was still discovered by Duan Peng.
Duan Peng swept a glance with a cold smile, thinking in his heart, I'll teach you guys a lesson later.
"How is it? Can we start now?”Cheng Zhijie asked, his eyes full of excitement. One look and one could tell that he was definitely a warmonger.
"Anytime!" Duan Peng answered in a clear voice, without the slightest bit of cowardice or intention of retreating. This courage even Zhangsun Chong, who was at odds with Duan Peng, couldn't help but sigh and feel inferior.
Cheng Zhijie nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand, indicating that they could start.
The 12 Left Guard Generals all drew their swords and split into two groups, one on the left and the other on the right. They formed a herringbone formation and were ready to attack at any moment.
"Set up the formation!"
Along with Duan Peng's loud shout, the 12 great musicians lined up in a mandarin duck formation with Xu Guang as the center, waiting for the orders from below in a solemn array.
"Kill them!"
Cheng Zhijie shouted, and the 12 left guards charged at Xu Guang and the others like tigers out of their cages. They slashed at their heads with their sabers, and they indeed had an unstoppable force.
Duan Peng knew that this first clash absolutely could not be cowed. Otherwise, if Xu Guang and the rest had cowardice in their hearts, then no matter how exquisite the Mandarin Duck Formation was, they could only be passively beaten, and he would lose for sure.
Duan Peng decisively waved the red flag. After Xu Guang saw it, he also shouted to boost his courage and charged over in the fixed formation of the mandarin duck formation.
"Good boy, you have guts." Cheng Zhijie looked at Duan Peng and couldn't help but smile. He nodded in satisfaction.
Zhangsun Chong and the other silkpants all felt that the Left Guards would win. After all, they were the famed Left Guards of the Great Tang, and anyone would think that the Left Guards would win if they were to face off against actors like Duan Peng.
However, something that left everyone dumbstruck happened once again. The two left guards at the front saw the three-meter-long modified wolf and immediately knew that things were not good. They nimbly dodged and continued to charge forward. However, he was stabbed in the chest by two long-armed soldiers. If not for the hard armor, he would have been dead with two more bloody holes.
Before he could react in shock, he was kicked away by the long-armed soldier, and even his sword fell out of his hand.
As for the Left Guards behind him, they were also blocked by the shields of the two Shield Soldiers and Lang Li's sweeping left and right. They could not break through the formation at all. They wanted to break through, but they were directly harassed by the archers who were released last. They could not launch an effective attack at all.
With just one charge, the Left Guard lost two generals, leaving only ten people.
Everyone was shocked, including Cheng Zhijie.
Cheng Zhijie, who had been resting, was reported by the troops that Duan Peng's mandarin duck formation had defeated Zhangsun Chong and the other silkpants. Moreover, with just one attack, the group of silkpants had collapsed and completely failed.
This shocked Cheng Zhijie. Although Zhangsun Chong and the other silkpants were indeed not capable, Li Zhen, Cheng Chumo, and Niu Jianhu were descendants of Generals. No matter what, they were strong men. Even if they lost, it was impossible for them to collapse at once.
But when he personally saw Duan Peng's mandarin duck formation clash, Cheng Zhijie knew that this formation was indeed not simple.
Putting everything else aside, this formation was enough to gain a foothold in the army by killing two of the Left Guards who had been on the battlefield.
But who was Cheng Zhijie? He was a well-known rogue general in the Tang Empire. He was an old bastard who didn't care about rules. Seeing that his Left Guards had lost two men in a single attack, he immediately became anxious.
"You bunch of scumbags are really embarrassing me. You can't even beat a bunch of kids.”" Those two idiots are dead!" Cheng Zhijie shouted." Use their bodies as shields and break their formation!"”
Duan Peng was speechless. This was indeed very in line with this old bastard's style. As long as he could win, he would never care about the rules. No wonder even the Sage Emperor Li Er couldn't do anything to this guy.
However, this was not difficult for Duan Peng. The change in formation that he originally planned to deal with Zhangsun Chong and the others happened to be used on the Left Guards.
The blue flag in Duan Peng's hand was waved down, and Xu Guang shouted to change formation. The person who rushed up with the two defeated Left Guards as shields directly pounced on empty air.
The Left Guard of the Mandate Army entered an open space in confusion. There was only an archer protected by two shield soldiers in front of him.
"Not good, we're surrounded!"
Someone shouted, and then the Left Guard found that the ten of them were surrounded by Xu Guang and the other twelve. Two huge wolves whipped them from the left and right, and the ten of them were immediately disrupted. They abandoned their brothers who were acting as shields and hid left and right.
The archers kept shooting, and Lang Pi kept sweeping left and right. The left guards who had rushed forward with all their might were stabbed back by the long-armed soldiers.
The valiant General of the Left Guards was like a group of pitiful children. He wanted to cry but had no tears to shed as Xu Guang and the others casually massaged him. Moreover, they did not have much strength.
"General Cheng, I think the outcome has been decided.”"If General is willing, let's stop now." Duan Peng asked with a smile.”
Duan Peng saw Cheng Zhijie nod in agreement with a dark face and immediately waved the black flag. Xu Guang and the others immediately retreated in an orderly manner and merged into the original mandarin duck formation.
