Chapter 200: Within 6 feet, I am invincible
"Of course, if it's not you, then who is it? My martial arts and Que Ling's are not suitable for military routines. Miss Yang is going to join the army, so she must try military martial arts."
Shen Changgong's words made Guan Shouchang understand that he was also a master in the army, so he must be allowed to test the other party's martial arts.
He also understood why Shen Changgong asked him to come after dark.
It turns out that he was asked to come here to work.
Yang Hongying clasped her hands and said,
"Your Highness, my weapon is a family heirloom pear blossom spear. It's made of ten-year-old pear wood, a century-old, impervious, and incredibly strong. It's the same spear I've used since I was a child. It's currently in the gatehouse. May I bring it in?"
"Sure, go get it."
Yang Hongying nodded, turned and walked outside.
Not long after, she came in carrying a spear. The spear was very long and the tip was also long. It was hard to imagine how this girl, who looked even a little petite, could wield such a big spear.
Guan Shouchang looked at her and hesitated in front of the weapon rack for a long time, not knowing which weapon to choose.
Just choose the big knife that you are good at using. It would be a bit like bullying the little girl.
Choose something you are not good at. If you really lose, and it gets out that you can't even beat a woman, how can you still have the face to be the head coach?
So he hesitated for a long time.
Yang Hongying seemed to see his hesitation and said,
"General Guan, I have long heard of your duel with the general under the city walls. I know your swordsmanship is unparalleled. Please choose the weapon you are most proficient in, treat me as your enemy, and fight with all your might. This is a sign of respect for your opponent."
Guan Shouchang nodded and said,
"Well, since you've said so..."
"This way you'll feel more confident when you lose."
Yang Hongying added another blow.
Guan Shouchang was such a proud man that he became furious when he heard her say that.
Without hesitation, he drew out his sword and walked over.
He placed his sword on the ground and snorted coldly,
"I've long heard of the Yang Family Spear's fame. Today we finally have the chance to see who's better. I'm Guan Shouchang, a disciple of Master Zhou Zong. Please come in!"
"please!"
Yang Hongying kicked powerfully with her toes, took a step back, and held the gun tightly in her hand. After pointing the tip of the gun at Guan Shouchang, she rushed forward with a quick step, and the tip of the gun went straight to Guan Shouchang's face.
Guan Shouchang swung the big knife in his hand, with the blade pointing downward, splitting the spear, and then raised the knife to scrape towards Yang Hongying.
Yang Hongying rested the tip of her spear on the ground, and her whole body formed a pole vaulting posture. While dodging Guan Shouchang's knife, she put her feet together and kicked Yinglong Guan Shouchang right in the chest.
Guan Shouchang took a few steps back, and Yang Hongying landed on the ground. He took advantage of the situation and swung his spear from behind to chop forward.
Guan Shouchang dodged sideways, and Yang Hongying immediately changed the chop to a sweep.
This scene was extremely thrilling, but Guan Shouchang was not panicked at all. He simply chopped down with the handle of the knife and then raised the knife to chop at Yang Hongying's face.
Yang Hongying dodged by bending backwards, and Guan Shouchang took advantage of the situation to sweep away her spear.
After the two of them figured out each other's routines, they both knew that the other was a real master, and immediately they fought each other fiercely.
The Empress watched the two men fighting fiercely and said to Shen Changgong,
"Who do you think is stronger between the two of them?"
"I don't know. Let's see who will be the first to lose strength, Yang Hongying, or Guan Shouchang to show a flaw first. In a duel between masters like this, if you're not careful, the enemy will seize the opportunity and the fight will end immediately.
Yang Hongying’s martial arts skills are good enough, and it seems she can handle a one-on-one fight, but I don’t know if she can kill enemies in battle.
Leading a charge into the midst of thousands of troops tests not only martial arts skills, but also keen perception, premonition of danger, control of the battle situation, human psychology, and a large amount of luck.
Facing a fierce battle on a battlefield with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, it is important to be able to remain calm, to lead soldiers to divide the battlefield, to charge into battle, and to break through.
On the battlefield, you not only have to fight, but as a general, you also have to keep your eyes and ears open.
Some people have great martial arts skills, but their mental strength is weak. When they see corpses all over the ground, their legs go weak. How can they fight?
"I won't give in!"
Yang Hongying shouted in the middle of the yard.
"Focus on the battle, and don't be distracted!"
"You said you should keep your eyes and ears open."
"Hey."
Shen Changgong chuckled, and suddenly he said to the empress,
"Madam, I suddenly remembered something important."
"I also saw something important."
Yan Fuyao turned his head and looked at the west corner of the lobby. A little head popped out, looking over here curiously.
Shen Changgong also saw his sister-in-law looking at this side secretly, and seemed to want to come and see the fight here. After all, this thing was much more exciting than the street sword show.
Shen Changgong smiled and said,
"If she likes to watch, then let her watch. Let's talk business. When I saw Yang Hongying, I suddenly wondered if there were many people like her in our country who have martial arts skills but have no way to serve their country, and are unwilling to be a soldier and bury their skills.
I think there must be a lot of them. After all, there are such people in the martial arts world and in some martial arts families.
If we post a call for martial arts masters from all over the country to come to the capital, and then hold a grand competition to rank them.
Those with high rankings can receive rewards and can also serve in the army as lieutenant generals, guards, etc. It would be ideal if each regiment was equipped with a master, who could bravely kill the enemy and charge into battle. What do you think?"
"Yes, that's a very good idea. Tomorrow I will issue an imperial decree and issue a military conscription order.
In addition, the autumn imperial examinations must be stepped up to select some talented civil and military men before the expedition."
"Well, you are indeed my good wife. You are always thoughtful."
Shen Changgong put his hand on the empress's shoulder.
Yan Fuyao rolled his eyes at him. This guy has been committing crimes against his superiors for a long time and has been disrespectful every day.
The battle in the middle of the yard has been going on for a quarter of an hour. Both sides are fighting very cautiously, fearing that the other side will hurt themselves, and fearing that they will hurt the other side.
Finally, Yang Hongying took advantage of Guan Shouchang's exhaustion, seized the opportunity, and thrust the spear forward fiercely. The tip of the spear stopped when it was 0.01 centimeter away from Guan Shouchang's neck.
Apart from anything else, the control over the spear, as precise as if it were driven by one's arm, is extremely powerful.
Guan Shou sighed, clasped his hands and said,
"I lost."
"Concession!"
Yang Hongying put away her gun, stood proudly, and said with her head held high,
"Within six feet, I'm invincible!"
"Okay, it's really amazing!"
Shen Changgong laughed, walked forward and said,
"Miss Yang's spearmanship is indeed superb. Lao Guan is considered the most powerful general in the imperial army. The fact that you were able to defeat him shows how powerful your martial arts are."
