"call out!"
Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound came into Yan Liang's ears, forcing him to give up Yang Ding, who was waiting for death. Then the blade turned sharply and swung his knife to the direction of the sound of breaking through the air.
"Dang——Xi Yuyu!"
With a loud bang, Yan Liang hit the target accurately, but a huge recoil force came from the hilt of the knife to shake him and his horse back several steps. His right arm was trembling and numb, and he was shocked.
With one blow, Yan Liang was shocked and grabbed the sword tightly, turned his head to look at the "hidden weapon" that was shot down, but he saw that the hidden weapon on the ground was the iron spear of his brother Wen Chou.
Seeing the objects and thinking about people. When he saw his brother's weapon again, Yan Liang's eyes, which were originally slightly panicked, were instantly covered with blood, and once again became scarlet like a beast. He stared at the person behind him in anger, and a fierce violent aura appeared on his face, and murderous aura rose in his scarlet eyes.
"The evil thief Gan Ning, who plotted against a certain family behind his back, was it a hero who did it?"
"What's wrong with you, a madman, who designed to kill General Hu Zhen, and Gan returned it to him in his own way?"
While the angry Yan was facing each other, Gan Ning used the reins to tie Wen Chou's head and hung it on the horse's neck. He then drove the horse's pedal to move slowly, holding a sword in his hand approaching Yan Liang step by step.
Indeed, he threw Wen Chou's weapon and attacked Yan Liang just now, which was indeed a loss of light, and it was not done by a real man, but this was a forced act. If he did not do this, Yang Ding would definitely follow Hu Zhen's footsteps and die under Yan Liang's knife, and he would die miserably, just like he just waved his knife to cut Wen Chou's head, with his body and head different from his body.
In fact, Gan Ning could completely abandon Yang Ding's life and death and throw a spear to attack Yan Liang directly. Perhaps he could hit Yan Liang with one blow and kill Yan Liang on the spot. However, before Yan Liang was attacked, he would definitely chop off Yang Ding's head, which was exactly what Gan Ning didn't want to see the least. Because Hu Zhen and Yang Ding came to save him, Hu Zhen is now dead. How could he watch Yang Ding die and Yan Liang's death? If so, he would never feel at ease for the rest of his life and would feel guilty for the rest of his life. Therefore, he would rather give up the great opportunity to attack Yan Liang and save Yang Ding. Only in this way can he be worthy of his conscience and feel a little relieved.
This is the chivalrous Gan Ning and Gan Xingba, a chivalrous man who was born in the "Jianghu" and was willing to be revenge. In order to survive, he pulled up a group of people to rob ships on the rivers and lakes, and loved the gorgeous clothes and was good at showing off his show. But these are just his deceiving acts of deliberately concealing his identity as a thief, just talking about "Ziwei".
In fact, he never bullied good people, and most of the ill-gotten wealth he got was distributed to the poor people living along the river. Moreover, he hated his identity as a water thief, and hoped that one day he could be open and upright, gallop on the battlefield to make achievements, and win the family and honor his ancestors. In the past, he had no way to enter the officialdom and could not have a wise ruler. Even though he had a passion, he was useless. However, the battle at Dulongtan made him a blessing in disguise, and was taken over by Li Li in the face of the disaster.
Now that Gan Ning has just entered the Xiliang Army, he is in office as deputy commander of the camp. Seeing that the day of his appointment as a general and a marquis was not far away, his long-cherished wish would come true soon, which made him overjoyed. However, it was precisely because of this that he let down Wen Chou and relax his vigilance after he was severely attacked Wen Chou, and he was dying and counterattacked by Wen Chou, and his entire left calf was pierced by a spear and seriously injured.
Coincidentally, it was precisely because Wen Chou's spear was right next to him that he had the opportunity to provoke the spear and throw it towards Yan Liang, thus narrowly saving Yang Ding, who had no power to resist.
At this moment, although Gan Ning was seriously injured, unable to move, and his wound was bleeding a lot, this did not prevent him from continuing to fight. Because he had already sat back on the horse, and his mount was his legs, which greatly compensated for the disadvantage of his leg injury. More importantly, even though his combat power was not as great as before, he was still much stronger than Hu Zhen and Yang Ding. Maybe he could not defeat Yan Liang, but for a while, he would still have no problem in winning the escape time for Yang Ding.
As for his own safety, Gan Ning had already put it aside at this time. After all, Hu Zhen had already died in order to save him. No matter what, he could no longer let Yang Ding die in front of him, otherwise he would not have been Gan Ning and Gan Xingba.
Just as Gan Ning was thinking secretly, a sinister sound suddenly woke him up, and his mind immediately returned to the battlefield.
"You are fighting with my righteous brother in front and sneak attacking behind you. Now you don't want to escape, but you dare to stay in front of the formation. With this courage alone, my brother Wen Chou will not be unfair to die in your hands. However, the blood debt will be paid for. Today, you or I will either die or I will die. Only one of you and me can return to our formation alive! Look at the knife——!"
Yan Liang is a dog-like person, and he changes his mind whenever he says it. The previous sentence sounds like human words, then he waves his sword toward each other and rushes towards Gan Ning.
"If you want to fight, you can fight. Why is Gan afraid of it?"
Seeing Yan Liang coming fiercely, Gan Ning was not afraid, and snorted coldly with disdain on his face, and rushed towards him by the horse.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
The war horses faced the rushing head-on, and two swords slashed in the air. Both of them fought with all their might without reservation. Each sword was made with a sharp sound of swords breaking through the air, with great force, trying to cut the other party into two halves.
In this confrontation, the two of them were definitely considered to be enemies who met. They were very jealous of each other. They fought each other at first, and they wanted to kill each other under the knife within three moments. They could be said to be able to get rid of them and be able to die. Gan Ning personally killed Yan Liang's righteous brother Wen Chou in front of everyone, and Yan Liang also slashed Hu Zhen in front of Gan Ning. Now the two are finally fighting face to face, and the fierceness of the battle is self-evident.
With Mars flying everywhere, Gan Ning was a little unsatisfied after a long battle, and his sword swing was obviously not as powerful as when he was fighting against Wen Chou before. Yan Liang, who was slashing against him, was in a strong momentum, with the power of killing Hu Zhen, and swung his sword fiercely and fiercely, and with one drum, he was like a tiger, violent and crazy.
When the two horses passed by, Gan Ning's arms trembled, his hands were bleeding like blood was fished out of blood. The entire hilt and the knife rod were covered with blood flowing out after the tiger's mouth cracked again. There was no doubt that in this head-on battle, he obviously suffered a great loss, his strength was not as strong as Yan Liang, and his martial arts were comparable to Yan Liang, so he was already at a disadvantage in the confrontation.
However, men are born not afraid of bleeding. Blood not only cannot shock men's courage, but will instead inspire men's fearless blood and the courage to fight to the end.
This is true for Gan Ning. For someone like him who has just walked through the gates of hell, death is not scary. What is scary is the way to die in a cowardly manner. If you can die in a fierce battle, what's the fear of death? What's wrong with dying again?
Back to the horse and fight again. Gan Ning gritted his teeth, forcing himself to forget the pain in his hands, put it aside from life and death, and rode his horse and waved his sword to fight without distraction. Therefore, he faced Yan Liang's crazy slash again. The power that Gan Ning burst out inexplicably surpassed before, almost reached the strong power of fighting against Wen Chou. However, Gan Ning's sudden explosion surprised Yan Liang and felt pressured. Although the offensive was as brave as before, the effect was greatly reduced. Each slash was rebounded back without showing any weakness. Gan Ning's hands, which were holding the hilt of the knife, were bleeding, and Yan Liang was not relaxed. The tiger's mouth collapsed and blood was dripping, making him grin, and it was not uncomfortable.
It is true that although Yan Liang was violent, he was also a flesh-and-blood body and knew the pain. Although Gan Ning's injuries looked very serious, and even his finger bones were cracked. However, Gan Ning fought again and again, and had a certain ability to withstand the pain. On the other hand, Yan Liang was not like that. He went to fight in anger, and at first came up, he beat Hu Zhen, who was obviously inferior to his own. Yang Ding and the other two had to fight with only the ability to resist but no counterattack. Then he easily killed Hu Zhen. In this way, he was inevitably a little arrogant and thought that the generals of Xiliang were just like this. The reason why Wen Chou was killed before was actually distracted was not the martial arts of the generals of Xiliang.
But after he really fought with Gan Ning, Yan Liang realized that Gan Ning was indeed a martial arts expert. He had a strong strength and could still compete with his own strength after a long battle. This surprised him. His momentum was invisibly weakened three points. Gan Ning was so fierce that he counterattacked fiercely that he had broken his hands and mouths. It was hard to bear severe pain.
It is worth mentioning that Yan Liang seemed to be particularly sensitive to pain and bleeding, which is completely different from Gan Ning's performance after being injured. His reaction was very strong, which was inconsistent with his violent aura. In the pain, Yan Liang's offensive was significantly weakened a lot, with more defense and less attack, so he could only tie with Gan Ning, and no longer had the upper hand as before. With one increase and the other decline, Gan Ning successfully regained his disadvantage, and fought with Yan Liang for more than a dozen rounds, but he still did not lose the disadvantage.
Just as Gan Ning entangled Yan Liang, Yang Ding was stunned for a while, with a confused look on his face and a dull expression, as if he was frightened by the scene of the sword coming. It was not until Gan Ning and Yan Liang fought for several rounds that he woke up, then turned around and rode his horse to escape to the Xiliang Army's main formation.
This scene made the Xiliang generals feel dazed. Only a few veterans who have been through the battle formation and well-informed generals know why Yang Ding is so unbearable. In fact, the reason is very simple. The older a person is, the more afraid of death, and the more he is through the battlefield, the more he cherishes his life.
Perhaps Yang Ding is not too old, at best, only in his forties and in his prime, but the scene of being held by Yan Liang's sword on his neck just now scared him out of fear. Now that he has survived from death, Yang Ding must be like a different life. After returning to his senses, he immediately beat the horse and ran away. He has already thrown his original intention of leaving the battlefield. At this moment, escaping is the most important thing for him.
"Da da da da!"
A rapid sound of horse hooves sounded behind Yang Ding, but Yan Liang and Gan Ning fought again and ran against each other. Yan Liang's direction of returning horses was exactly in front of the Xiliang army, which was behind Yang Ding. Seeing that Yang Ding was less than forty steps away from him, Yan Liang had a plan and immediately gave up returning horses and continued fighting with Gan Ning, rode his horse straight, and threw out his own sword vigorously.
"Be careful!" Amid the exclamation, the many generals in front of the Xiliang army changed their expressions, and Gan Ning, who had turned around, also saw this scene and urgently reminded Yang Ding to dodge.
Unfortunately, everything was too late. Yang Ding, who was already scared, had already lost his ability to adapt. The moment he heard the scream, he turned around and looked back at a loss. As soon as he turned his head, the sword thrown by Yan Liang instantly pierced his chest, and was then lifted off the horse's back by the violent force on the sword, and fell into the air.
