In the center of the Colosseum, a large ring was quickly built. The height of the ring was slightly higher than the knee-deep muddy water, about the height of a finger.
Outside the Colosseum, more and more people gathered. In order to ensure safety, a knee-high wall was built near the Colosseum. On top of the wall was a double-layered wooden fence. The height of the fence was higher than an adult's waist. There was absolutely no problem in terms of safety.
Moreover, the Colosseum was not very deep. It was only three or four meters high. There was also knee-deep muddy water. Anyone who fell in would not fall to their death, let alone drown. After all, it was only knee-deep.
"Assistant Minister Li, is this a martial arts competition? Setting up such a big battle array. "
Nan Xia was eager to give it a try. In order to improve the fighting strength of the officers and soldiers, the military would often hold fighting competitions. The Colosseum in front of them was similar to a competition arena. It was just that the scale was a bit too big. Competitions and fights only needed a small space.
"Nan Xia, you can just watch the show first. If you really want to fight later, this official will not stop you. Haha!"
Ang Lee replied with a smile and had some of his subordinates who had not yet taken their seats quickly take their seats.
All the subordinates, according to their positions, sat on either side of Ang Lee. In the middle, there was only Ang Lee alone. Of course, there were also four little beauties accompanying him.
"Assistant Minister Li, the ten pirates are already in place. Also, the hunting dogs and wild beasts that you said you were looking for have also been found."
The subordinate wiped the sweat on his forehead and reported in a low voice.
Ang Lee smiled happily and asked, "What wild beasts did you find? Quickly take this official to have a look."
After saying that, he got up and left, and told everyone not to follow.
"Assistant Minister Li, look, there are more than thirty hunting dogs. All of them are bad guys who have bitten people. There are also a few fighting bulls. The lions next to them were obtained from the merchants."
The subordinate opened his mouth and said.
Ang Lee nodded with satisfaction and suddenly asked, "You got so many things. Did you pay?"
"Pay?" The subordinate was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly said with a smile, "When this subordinate mentioned Assistant Minister Li's name, no one dared to mention money. These beasts were smoothly lent to us. This subordinate swears that he did not use force on anyone."
"Forget it, I'll just compensate them if they die. You did a good job. Thank you for your hard work."
Ang Lee didn't think that his subordinate had done anything wrong and praised him.
"This is what I should do."
The subordinate was flattered, and his voice trembled as he spoke.
Ang Lee returned to his seat and called over the subordinate in charge of the Colosseum.
"Assistant Minister Li, what can I do for you?"
The subordinate asked respectfully.
Ang Lee thought for a moment and said, "Let a pirate enter the ring and remove his shackles. In addition, choose a hound to enter the ring. Let this official see if the hound or the person is more ferocious."
"Assistant Minister Li, should we prepare weapons for the pirates?"
The subordinate asked.
Ang Lee frowned and said, "Weapons? If we prepare weapons for the people, with the strength of the pirates, how can the hound be a match for them? We can't bully the pirates too much. Give him a pair of gloves! Who lives and who dies will depend on fate. "
"Yes, this subordinate will arrange it right away."
The subordinate responded and quickly ran to arrange it.
When the people who came to the Colosseum to watch the fun saw the huge muddy pit in front of them and the small ring in the middle of the muddy water, they all guessed what was going to happen here.
"See! This is a ring for martial arts competitions. There will definitely be people fighting in the ring later. "
"A rainstorm has turned the arena into a pool of mud. The loser will definitely have to take a bath in the muddy water."
"No! If it's a martial arts competition, it should be called a martial arts arena. Why did I hear that this is the Colosseum? "
"Yes, I also heard that this is the Colosseum. It should be the beasts biting each other!"
"Several of the hounds I raised at home were all taken by the soldiers of the Tang dynasty. It seems that this is really the Colosseum! Poor my several good dogs. Even if they don't die, they will be crippled. "
"That's right. The lions I brought from Dashi were also taken by the soldiers of the Tang dynasty. No matter how fierce your dogs are, how can they be a match for my lions? Even if they fight together, they will be bitten to death by my lions. Moreover, it's two lions."
"It's over, it's over. How can a hound beat a lion? It seems that I have to prepare for the future of my dogs. Alas!"
A group of businessmen gathered together and chatted. Most of them were relatively calm, but a small number of them were more nervous, especially the businessman whose lion was borrowed. On the surface, he seemed to be very confident in his lion, but his two lions were raised separately. If the soldiers of the Tang dynasty let the two lions fight with each other, it was inevitable that one of them would die and the other would be injured. In this way, his loss would be too great, and he dared not ask the soldiers of the Tang dynasty to compensate him. It was really difficult.
In addition to these businessmen, the civil and military officials of the Tang dynasty were also discussing in private.
"Assistant Minister Li invited us here. What does he want us to see? Is he going to hold a martial arts competition? "
"Are you stupid? This is a newly built Colosseum. Of course, it's a beast fighting show. How can it be a martial arts competition?"
"Recently, I and a thousand soldiers under my command have all become craftsmen. It's really tiring. It's good to watch a beast fighting show. It can relax us."
"Stop talking. Someone is coming in. Look."
Just as these civil and military officials were talking, several soldiers of the Tang dynasty escorted a pirate and a hound into the venue.
In order to protect themselves, these soldiers of the Tang dynasty were fully clothed, only their faces were exposed. If the hound wanted to attack the soldiers of the Tang dynasty, it would certainly not be able to cause any damage and would eventually be hacked to death.
Because the muddy water was knee-deep, in order to avoid getting dirty, the soldiers of the Tang dynasty got a boat and carried the pirate and the hound into the Colosseum. When they arrived at the arena, they escorted them to the arena.
The onlooking businessmen suddenly burst into an uproar because the scene in front of them was beyond their imagination. They originally guessed that it would be a beast fighting or a martial arts competition, but they did not expect that the protagonists of the Colosseum would be a man and a beast, which somewhat surprised them.
"That's my hound. I haven't given it food for a day. What are they doing? Letting my hound fight with someone?"
"It seems so. The person on the arena is ragged. He seems to be a pirate. He has no weapon in his hand. I guess he can't beat your hound."
"That's right. My hound is very powerful. It will definitely bite this evil pirate to death. Hahaha! "
Several businessmen discussed.
The civil and military officials of the Tang dynasty who were watching from the front also discussed and expressed their opinions.
Ang Lee hugged the four beauties and happily waited for the duel to begin.
"White Fox, take a guess. Between a hunting dog and an unarmed pirate, who will win?"
Ang Lee first looked at White Fox and asked.
"Assistant Minister Li, do you still need to say? Of course, the hound is more powerful. This damn pirate will definitely be bitten to death by the hound. "
White Fox hated pirates the most. Of course, she hoped that the pirate would be bitten to death by the hound.
"Yun 'er, what do you think? Do you also think the hound will win?"
Ang Lee asked.
Yun 'er, Jiaren, and Magpie all nodded hard because they all saw that the hound on the arena was not easy to deal with. Although the pirate was relatively strong, he was obviously much weaker in momentum. The hound's strong barking in the arena made people's hair stand on end. However, the pirate's mental state was not very good. As long as he was a normal person, he would vote for the hound.
The four soldiers of the Tang dynasty first unshackled the pirate and let him stand aside. Then, they put the hound in the cage together with the cage on the arena. Finally, the four soldiers of the Tang dynasty retreated to the ship and opened the door of the cage holding the hound with tools. Then, the four soldiers of the Tang dynasty sailed the ship away.
After the cage was opened, the hound didn't immediately jump out of the cage. Instead, it bared its teeth and made a very terrifying sound, making people who heard it feel a kind of creepy feeling. The opposite pirate's momentum was much weaker. He was so scared that he retreated to the edge of the ring.
When the onlookers saw that the hound had not yet come out of the cage, but its momentum had already defeated the pirate, they all cheered loudly. The owner of the hound was so happy that he almost jumped up.
"Ah Huang, come out of the cage and bite that guy to death."
The owner of the hound shouted.
Perhaps hearing the owner's shout, the big yellow hound slowly came out of the cage with its teeth bared. It stared fiercely at the pirate in front of it and looked like it was about to pounce on him.
The atmosphere before a battle was the most tense. When Big Yellow slowly walked out of the cage and approached the pirates with his teeth bared, everyone's heart was in their mouths. Of course, it wasn't because they were worried about the pirates, but because they could feel the tension before a great battle. They couldn't help but feel their hearts in their mouths.
The white fox and Yun 'er even involuntarily moved closer to Ang Lee, as if the hound was not pouncing on the pirate, but on them.
"Little darling, don't be afraid. The hound is still far away from us. It won't bite you. "
Ang Lee gently patted Yun 'er and the white fox's shoulders and comforted them.
However, Yun 'er and the white fox were still very afraid as they nestled close to Ang Lee's side, looking like little birds that needed to rely on people.
The hound was always very fierce, especially when it met a soft-footed shrimp. This kind of fierceness would increase greatly and it would quickly rush towards the opponent.
After a moment of preparation, the hound did not disappoint and suddenly pounced on the pirate who was already hiding in the corner.
The pirate only had a pair of gloves. How could he be a match for the hound? He dodged to the side without thinking.
Perhaps the hound underestimated the enemy and did not pounce on him. Moreover, because it used too much strength, the hound fell into the muddy water, causing its body to be covered in mud. On the other hand, the pirate only fell on the arena and quickly got up.
"Hey, what's going on? This dog is really stupid. It actually fell into the muddy water by itself."
"What kind of stupid dog are you raising? It doesn't even know how to pounce on people. It's so disappointing."
"Don't be too anxious. This might provoke the hound's anger. Let's continue to watch."
Several businessmen began to talk one after another.
The owner of the hound was a little embarrassed and seemed a little angry. He was full of confidence in his hound just now, but at this moment, when he saw that his hound was so disappointing, he was in a very bad mood. He wanted to immediately pick up the whip and beat this damn stupid dog.
When the civil and military officials of the Tang dynasty saw this scene, more than half of them laughed. Although they also hoped that the hound could win, if the hound bit the pirate to death as soon as it came up, there would be nothing to watch. A one-sided game would not be exciting. This was the case at all times.
Now the hound was deceived by the pirate's feint and fell into the muddy water. It was obvious that the hound was very angry, and this was the effect they wanted to see.
How the angry hound would choose to take revenge, and how the pirate would deal with it. There were too many possibilities, and these infinite possibilities made people look forward to it very much. Things full of anticipation were always fascinating, especially those in high positions who liked to watch wonderful performances.
Although the white fox hated pirates very much, when she saw the hound fall into the muddy water, her mood did not become bad. Instead, she heaved a big sigh of relief. It could be seen that although she hated pirates very much, she was still kind at the bottom of her heart. She would involuntarily think for the pirates. Perhaps she herself did not know this.
The exciting competition continued. The angry hound quickly swam out of the muddy water to the arena and glared at the pirate with its teeth bared. It had the momentum of swallowing him in one bite.
The pirate was very scared at first, but when he successfully avoided the hound's first wave of attack and got the pirate into the muddy water, his self-confidence rose. Although he had no possibility of escaping from here, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would do his best to survive.
The cage used to hold the hound was not very big. Moreover, it was made of wood and its weight was very ordinary. An adult was fully capable of lifting it.
The pirate made a prompt decision. Before the hound swam to the arena, he ran over to lift the dog fence and turned to rush at the approaching hound. It seemed that he was going to die together with the hound.
"It's over. The pirate is enlightened. He knows how to use a fence. Once such a big guy hits the hound, even if he doesn't die, he will lose a layer of skin."
"Your stupid dog is finished. The pirate has such a big dog cage. It's a weapon!"
"I shouldn't have left the dog cage in the arena just now. It was used by the pirate."
"Fortunately, I didn't leave a knife. Otherwise, the dog would have been chopped to death with a knife."
Several businessmen talked about it.
The owner of the dog was also depressed. That dog cage was made by him personally. It was confiscated by the soldiers of the Tang dynasty in the name of a temporary loan. Now, the dog cage he made by himself was about to become a weapon to kill his hound. How could he not be depressed?
