Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 272: Naval battle, Ling Tong’s show!

In November of the eighth year of Jian'an, Ling Tong's father Ling Cao followed Sun Quan in the west to attack Huang Zu of Jiangxia.

Ling Cao led the way in a light boat, charged into Xiakou and defeated the enemy's vanguard, but unfortunately he was shot and killed by Gan Ning.

This is definitely the enemy who murdered my father!
However, Sun Quan later valued Gan Ning very much, so he could not avenge Ling Tong's father's death by himself.

Xing Daorong thought to himself that he was Ling Tong's benefactor, so he called out, "Ling Tong! You came so fast to catch up with me, are you here to repay me?"

Ling Tong's response was emotionless, and only came out coldly: "Xing Daorong! You are my enemy in Jiangdong, how dare you come to my territory?"

When Xing Daorong heard this, he saw that Ling Tong was not here to repay his gratitude, so his face changed immediately and he shouted: "Ling Tong, the world is the land of the Han family, when did it become your territory!"

"You are chasing me here, either to repay a favor or to repay evil with evil?"

Ling Tong asked, "When have you ever been kind to me?"

When Xing Daorong saw that Ling Tong refused to admit it, he knew that this was impossible.

Then he called out, "Ling Tong, I killed the man who murdered your father for you, and you don't know how to repay me!"

Seeing that Ling Tong refused to admit it, Xing Daorong pointed it out directly.

Unexpectedly, these words seemed to cause a greater reaction from Ling Tong.

But he called out, "Xing Daorong, you killed my general of the Eastern Wu, and you still have the nerve to say that."

"If I meet you today, I must compete with you!"

Repay kindness with hatred!

This is repaying kindness with hatred!

"You are such an ungrateful Ling Tong! Today I will see what you can do!"

Xing Daorong seemed furious, furious at Ling Tong for not knowing what was good for him.

Xiao Qiao said with some concern: "Brother-in-law... this is coming with such force, is it really to stop the robbery?"

Xing Daorong said calmly, "Sun Quan wants to mobilize troops against Cao Cao and doesn't want to offend us right now. Ling Tong is here just to put on an act... or... to put on a show."

Show?

Before Xiao Qiao could taste the flavor, Ling Tong had already arrived not far away.

Seeing this, Bao Long was about to ask people to shoot arrows, but Xing Daorong stopped him.

I felt a little anxious at the moment.

Although the general is powerful, naval warfare is different from land warfare after all.

It is better to strike first, so it would be best to shoot Ling Tong.

He immediately said, "General, that guy didn't even bring his bone shield and he went in alone in the light boat, so we can just shoot him!"

Xing Daorong knew clearly that if all the archers were to fire at once, Ling Tong might really be shot into a hedgehog.

but…

It was precisely because Ling Tong did not even bring a bone shield that Xing Daorong said he was just putting on a show.

He did not respond to Bao Long, but just called out again: "Ling Tong, what tactics do you want to use?"

Seeing that Xing Daorong had his arrow on the bow but did not shoot, Ling Tong paused for a moment before shouting, "Let's fight one-on-one and see who is stronger!"

Water battle duel!

Although Xing Daorong had little experience in naval warfare, he was trained by Gan Ning.

He wasn't even afraid of the Jinfan thieves, so why would he be afraid of Ling Tong?

Then he called out: "Ling Tong, what are you capable of? Today I will give you a chance!"

Having said that, he ordered the archers to put away their bows and arrows, and ordered Ling Tong to kill them right in front of him.

Ling Tong understood the rules, so he got on the boat and was the only one on Xing Daorong's boat.

Their eyes met. Xing Daorong was standing at the bow of the ship, wearing no armor, only a long robe.

In his hand was a long axe that gleamed with cold light, and his eyes were as sharp as torches, staring closely at Ling Tong.

He wore a long robe and carried a long axe, but his accent was full of style.

Ling Tong looked around and saw that the wind was strong and the waves were high on the river, which was an advantage for him.

The two looked at each other, and Xing Daorong took the lead. He leaped up, and his long axe cut through the air, with the sound of breaking wind, and went straight to Ling Tong. Seeing this, Ling Tong dodged the attack easily, and then swung out his long sword, the sword light was like weaving, interweaving with Xing Daorong's long axe, making bursts of metal clashing sounds.

The two of them went back and forth, fighting inextricably.

Xing Daorong's axe was powerful and heavy, and each blow carried a force of a thousand pounds, as if it was going to split the surface of the river in half.

Ling Tong's swordsmanship is agile and elegant, and he can always turn danger into safety at the critical moment.

The warship was shaking continuously during the confrontation between the two men, and the river water was splashed everywhere, as if even the sky and the earth changed color.

Even though Xing Daorong fought very impressively, he knew in his heart that he could not fully display his true strength on this ship.

On the contrary it was Ling Tong.

No matter how the boat sways, it seems to be on flat ground.

Xing Daorong could feel that Ling Tong was holding back some strength when he fought against him.

There were several loopholes, but Ling Tong didn't seize them.

They fought like this for about ten rounds. Others were terrified, but Xing Daorong himself was calm.

He knew in his heart that Ling Tong was not trying to paralyze him in order to kill him with one blow, he was really letting him win.

Just as I was wondering how to end the situation, I heard a few more speed boats approaching on the river.

But this time, the ones coming back were not from Jiangdong, but the navy from Jingzhou!

But then a rough voice called out, "General Xing! Luo Meng is here!"

It turned out that Luo Meng saw that it was dusk and Xing Daorong had not returned yet, so he came to check on the situation.

As a result, he saw Xing Daorong and Ling Tong fighting to the death, and hurriedly shouted for help!

But his arrival has completely solved the problem.

Ling Tong suddenly shouted loudly, raised his sword and attacked Xing Daorong with the "Split Huashan" move.

Although this move looked powerful and heavy, it was all strength, without any skill.

When it comes to strength, Xing Daorong is naturally not inferior to Ling Tong.

"Well done!"

Xing Daorong responded, blocked it with his axe, and pushed hard, actually pushing Ling Tong away and forcing him to the bow.

Ling Tong exclaimed in surprise: "What a great strength!"

Xing Daorong said, "General Ling, although you are devoted to the public and don't even care about the revenge for your father's murder, you are still a little naive to defeat me."

Ling Tong gnashed his teeth and said, "I can't capture you today, but next time we meet, we must fight again!"

As he spoke, he seemed to be unable to withstand Xing Daorong's strength and the boat capsized and fell into the water.

This move surprised Xing Daorong.

The waves in this river are so high, wouldn't it be certain death if you jump in?

Besides, he didn't use much strength. It would be more accurate to say that Ling Tong got off the boat himself rather than that he knocked Ling Tong off.

He immediately looked towards the river surface and indeed, there was no one in sight.

Just when I thought Ling Tong was being too arrogant and something bad was going to happen, I didn't expect that within a moment, I heard the guy's voice coming from the other boat.

But he called out, "Xing Daorong! I'll spare your life today, and we'll fight again another day!"

It turned out that Ling Tong had returned to his ship at some point!

Xing Daorong kept staring at the river surface but didn't notice his figure, which shows how good he is at swimming!

However, in the face of Ling Tong's "promise", Xing Daorong did not respond, but just frowned and returned to Jiangling first.

Bao Long found this a little strange.

He clearly won, so why is the general still unhappy?

But since Xing Daorong didn't say anything, he didn't plan to ask, so as not to embarrass himself.

But Xiao Qiao…seeing that Xing Daorong looked unhappy, she quietly approached him and said, “Brother-in-law…I just saw that both of you didn’t try your best, why are you so nervous…”
