Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1071 Fierce Battle

The one who walked out of Hulao Pass was a deputy general under Yuwen Ye, named Xue Lin, the second son of Xue Daotong, an attendant. He had just turned twenty years old a few days ago and had followed Yuwen Ye to attack Luoyang.

Although he had fought several battles with Yuwen Ye before, this was his first time leading troops into battle. When he rode out of the crowd and looked at the dark mass of enemy troops in front of him, Xue Linxia immediately felt his palms wet and cold, and the reins in his hands were soaked with cold sweat.

He gritted his teeth, gripped the reins tightly, and rode forward: "Who dares to invade my territory?"

Hearing this, a burst of laughter immediately rang out from the other side, and someone shouted: "Hulao Pass is the Hulao Pass of Luoyang. You haven't even taken Luoyang, so how can you say this is your territory?"

"That's right. In my opinion, you should dismount and surrender immediately and go back to call your mother."

"Go back quickly, hahahaha."

Xue Lin's face gradually turned pale at the vulgar laughter. Just as he gritted his teeth and wanted to swear back, Shi Yutao rode up to him and looked him up and down with a disdainful look. Then he said, "You, go back quickly and get someone I know."

Xue Lin frowned: "What?"

Shi Yutao weighed the axe in his hand and sneered, "I don't chop down nameless people with my axe. Find someone who can block three of my axes and come and fight. Don't accuse me of bullying a child."

As soon as he said this, the soldiers behind him laughed even more wildly.

Xue Lin was so angry that his face turned pale, but he refused to retreat. Instead, he shook the reins and spurred his horse forward two steps, saying, "My name is Xue Lin."

Shi Yutao looked at him coldly: "What have you accomplished?"

Xue Lin said: "Today, defeating you will be my first achievement!"

After saying that, he suddenly roared, rushed forward on his horse, and stabbed Shi Yutao in the chest with the spear in his hand!

His sudden attack caught even the men following him off guard and in the blink of an eye Xue Lin had already rushed in front of Shi Yutao. However, Shi Yutao seemed to be prepared. He stood still without any intention of dodging, but at the moment when the gun was about to pierce his chest, he suddenly picked up the axe and blocked it in front of his chest.

With a "clang" sound, the tip of the gun directly hit the axe.

Xue Lin's eyes were wide open with anger, and he lunged forward with all his might, but Shi Yutao didn't move at all, and even the hand holding the axe didn't tremble. On the contrary, Xue Lin couldn't move forward, and his hand holding the gun kept sliding forward, and he seemed to be a little unstable sitting on the horse.

Yu Wen Ye, who saw this scene on the city wall, frowned slightly.

Shentu Tai said: "Too hasty."

The next moment, as if to prove his words, Shi Yutao suddenly withdrew his axe. The spear tip had no resistance, and Xue Lin's whole body was unstable and he rushed forward. Taking advantage of the moment when he staggered, Shi Yutao dodged the spear stabbing at his chest with a sideways move, and at the same time, he swung the axe with his backhand, and the axe handle fiercely stabbed towards Xue Lin! At this moment, everyone behind Xue Lin was anxious.

Just as they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, Xue Lin, who had originally rushed forward and was about to fall off the horse's back, suddenly stopped sideways and dodged Shi Yutao's axe. It turned out that at the moment when his body lost balance, one of his legs hooked onto one of the stirrups and tied himself directly to the horse's back.

At this moment, although his body was tilted, he used the stirrups to pull back and actually shrank back into thin air.

Seeing this scene, the exclamations of surprise from the soldiers behind him immediately turned into cheers, and even the soldiers behind Shi Yutao stopped their laughter and joking.

Shi Yutao's face suddenly became solemn, and he realized that this young general was not someone he could underestimate, and he never dared to completely underestimate the enemy before he fell. The axe missed and Xue Lin had already swung his spear at him on the head. He immediately held up his axe to block it, but Xue Lin refused to be outdone and stabbed him several times in the center of his brow, throat, chest and even shoulders. His moves were as nimble and vicious as a poisonous snake exploring a lair, and every move was deadly. Although the axe in Shi Yutao's hand was heavy and huge, he wielded it very nimbly. With a few clangs, he blocked Xue Lin's killing moves one after another, and then took advantage of the momentum to swing out an axe, as if he was going to sweep away thousands of troops and cut Xue Lin in half!
"careful!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and Xue Lin did not dare to delay. He immediately raised his spear to block. However, the axe not only took advantage of the momentum, but also had the tremendous force of Shi Yutao's arms to chop on the spear, actually denting the spear made of fine steel. Xue Lin's arms were numb from the shock, and the huge force almost knocked him off his horse!
Seeing that he blocked the move, Shi Yutao gripped the axe handle tightly with his left hand and gently pulled the axe back half an foot with his right hand. But before Xue Lin could catch his breath, he immediately pushed the axe forward heavily and hit Xue Lin's chest directly!
Xue Lin had never expected this. He had no time to retract his spear and had no strength to resist. He could only fall backwards and lie flat on the horse's back.

The axe just brushed the tip of his nose!

But as soon as he dodged the move, Shi Yutao did not give him the chance to get up. Instead, he thrust his right hand upwards and swung the axe directly towards Xue Lin's face!
At this moment, Yuwen Ye's breathing tightened, and Shentu Tai also subconsciously held his breath, his brows furrowed so tightly that his thick black eyebrows almost covered his eyes.

Just when everyone thought that Xue Lin would be chopped down by Shi Yutao's axe, his horse suddenly neighed and leaped forward two steps!

With just these two steps, he managed to dodge Shi Yutao's axe!
It turned out that just at the moment when he almost fell backwards to avoid Shi Yutao's attack, Xue Lin seemed to have anticipated that there would be a follow-up move after this move, so at the moment of lying down, he kicked the horse's belly hard with the heel of his right foot, shocking the horse to jump two steps and saving his own life!

"it is good!"

Shentu Tai couldn't help but cheer in a low voice when he saw this scene!

He heaved a sigh of relief, then turned to Yuwen Ye and said, "I didn't expect this kid to be so capable on his first battle. That's not bad."

After he finished speaking, Yuwen Ye put one hand down from the parapet, leaving two deep finger marks on the parapet. He also breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured with some relief: "Fortunately, his father left someone who can fight."

Shentu Tai glanced at him and said nothing.

Xue Lin was the second son of the official Xue Daotong, who had been with Yuwen Yuan almost since childhood and was now the emperor's confidant. His eldest son Xue Jing had been weak since childhood and could not practice martial arts, so he was currently working as a secretary in the prince's mansion.

Seeing Xue Lin's first battle, although he was restricted in every way, he did not lose the upper hand. Yuwen Ye breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction, then turned sideways to Shentu Tai and whispered: "You go down and help him in the battle."

Shentu Tai was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
