Chapter 837: History of the War Tai
So far, Sun Ce has seen Tai Shici with his own eyes for the first time.
Seeing Tai Shi Ci holding the reins in one hand and holding a spear in the other, galloping from the mountains in the distance, his beautiful beard swaying lightly on his chest, Sun Ce suddenly had an indescribable lightness, all his worries and worries were left behind in an instant, and encirclement and ambush became no longer important, he just wanted to fight happily with the person in front of him.
It was as if something had reawakened in the depths of the soul, reminding himself to keep his rational composure replaced by the impulse to fight unbridledly. Outside Wancheng, in order to save Yuan Shu, he had to have fewer enemies and more enemies, and when he was desperate with Cao Cao, he had such a feeling, and he maintained it until the duel with Zhang Liao. After that, he gradually forgot this impulse, even when he attacked Yuan Tan's camp, he did not encounter such a situation.
That's probably what it's like to meet an opponent in chess. Although Yuan Tan is not weak, he is not his opponent yet. Zhang Liao is, and so is Tai Shici in front of him.
He knew it wasn't enough to be brave, but it felt really good.
When Sun Ce looked at Tai Shi Ci, Tai Shi Ci was also looking at Sun Ce. Sun Ce was a little taller than him, with a height of more than eight feet, bright armor, a big coat, a Xiliang war horse with slender limbs and a strong body in his crotch, and a strange-shaped spear in his hand, the spearhead was four feet, which looked like a sword with a long handle.
Tai Shi Ci had heard of this spear called Overlord Kill, but it was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes. It was even the first time he had seen Sun Ce holding a weapon. Sun Ce has always been a general under heavy protection, and now he is a warrior who charges into battle.
Tai Shi Ci secretly praised himself, reined in his mount more than ten steps away, and bowed his hand. "Donglai Tai Shi Ci, I have seen the general."
"Jiangdong Sun Ce." Sun Ce returned the salute. "Ziyi slept well last night?"
Tai Shi Ci was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again. This young man's tone is not small, he directly takes Jiangdong as the county, do you want to deliberately press me? It's really a child's mind. "Thank you General for your concern, I slept well." Tai Shi Ci turned his spear and prepared to turn the horse's head. "Is the general ready?"
Sun Ce didn't move. Under normal circumstances, the two of them must be at least fifty paces apart, or even a hundred paces, at least one hundred paces apart, and only in this way can the war horse have room to accelerate. Now they are only ten steps apart, and they must retreat, but retreat is something that both of them have to do, and it is dangerous to retreat unilaterally, in case the other party does not follow the rules, suddenly rushes over, and strikes from behind, and it will be very dangerous for the side with his back to the enemy. If he didn't move, Tai Shici didn't dare to move.
Tai Shi Ci stared at Sun Ce, suspicious. "Does the general regret it?"
Sun Ce raised his hand and pointed at Tai Shici. "Since I'm here to compete with you today, I naturally want to have a good fight, riding and fighting, you can compete one by one, you don't have to carry so many weapons on your back. This horse of yours is good, but it's too thin, and it's good to lose a little weight. ”
Tai Shi Ci frowned slightly, a little hesitant. Sun Ce said that of course he knew that his horse had been marching for several days in a row, and he had not fed it well, which was a bit of a mishap. Compared with Sun Ce, he not only has a spear in his hand, a ring knife at his waist, but also an extra pair of bows and a bag of arrows, and a pair of iron halberds behind his back, which adds up to nearly a hundred catties. There is no problem in a short period of time, but after a long time, the horse's physical strength is insufficient, which will indeed affect flexibility.
But he didn't want to let him lay down these weapons. There are many people on the mountains on both sides, although the number is about the same, but Sun Ce's subordinates have many masters, in case Sun Ce cheats, those people suddenly rush down to beat him, and the weapons are not around, especially the bow and arrow. His proudest martial arts is archery, and when he goes to the bow and arrow, he has no bottom in his heart.
"Thank you for the reminder, general, it's okay."
Sun Ce nodded, turned the horse and left. He didn't worry that Tai Shi Ci would shoot arrows in the back, first, he believed that Tai Shi Ci would not be so tasteless, and a fair duel would hurt people with secret arrows; Second, he has a golden silk brocade armor to protect his body, and the fine armor on his body is far tougher than ordinary armor, and it is not so easy for Tai Shici to shoot him. Even so, he rode his horse forward, listening intently, ready to respond.
Tai Shici watched Sun Ce take the initiative to turn his back on him, secretly ashamed, and his face was a little hot. He sneaked up on him twice, Sun Ce could still be so relieved of him, I really don't know whether to call him stupid or to say that he is frank. He turned his horse's head, kicked it lightly, and the horse trotted up.
The two men were a hundred paces apart, turned around, raised the spear in their hands, and then flattened, holding their hands in their hands, and kicked their horses at the same time.
The horse leaped forward and began to run.
Sun Ce's body leaned forward slightly, his lower abdomen pressed on the bridge in front of the saddle, his legs clamped the horse's belly, his eyes followed the blade of the overlord killing, and looked at Tai Shici, who was getting closer and closer, his body rose and fell with the pace of the war horse, and the man and horse were one, and there was an almost perfect harmony. The spirit was highly concentrated, everything gradually faded away, and only Tai Shici, who was getting closer and closer, was left in front of him, and there was only one thought left in his heart: defeat him and kill him.
The speed of the war horse became faster and faster, and it ran over a hundred paces in an instant. When the two were more than ten steps apart, Sun Ce held his breath, shouted, and stabbed forward with both hands, heading straight to Tai Shici's chest and abdomen.
The spear in Tai Shici's hand was a standard cavalry spear, one zhang and two feet long. The overlord in Sun Ce's hand is one zhang long, and the length is not dominant, before hitting Tai Shi Ci, he must first avoid Tai Shi Ci's spear, otherwise before he touches Tai Shi Ci, he will be pierced through by Tai Shi Ci's spear. The staggered time is very short, and a simple dial will be a waste of time, so he combines offense and defense, blocks and pierces, and is heavier than ordinary spears in lateral force, striving to knock the opponent's spear out while still maintaining his own attack direction.
The two spears intersected, making a crisp crashing sound, Tai Shici's wrist was numb, and the spear was deflected. He sensed that Sun Ce's strength was strong, different from the opponents he had encountered before, and he couldn't use his spear alone to kill his overlord, so he had to turn sideways. At the last moment, Tai Shi Ci twisted his waist sideways, and the Overlord Kill slid over his abdominal armor, squeaking and squeaking with a piercing sound, and sparks splashed everywhere.
The two parted at the touch of a button, and the sound of horses' hooves faded away. Tai Shi Ci held a spear in one hand, stroked his abdominal armor with his hand, looked down at it, and couldn't help but change color.
A deep scratch on the abdominal armor. If he was a little slower, Sun Ce might have pierced his abdominal armor, even if it wasn't a frontal piercing.
The spear can break the armor, and even after the armor is broken, it can penetrate the opponent's body and inflict heavy damage on the opponent, but the side attack is more difficult, and it is often slid away by the iron armor, especially the fish scale armor with better protection ability, there is a gap between the layers of armor leaves, which can be moved, and the armor itself has a certain arc, and the elasticity is just right than the armor, unless it is stabbed head-on, it is difficult to penetrate, and the spearhead flank can hardly cause substantial damage. Because of this, the lethald of the side blade of the halberd was greatly weakened, and the cut-based Ge withdrew from the battlefield, and the side blade of the halberd was also canceled and turned into a twig. Many more simply abandoned halberds in favor of spears based on thorns.
But the Overlord Kill in Sun Ce's hand not only has the straight stabbing function of a spear, but also a four-foot-long blade, no wonder there is a stronger horizontal force in his strength. Different weapons have different uses and require different methods of defense. For him, this is a new situation for which he is not prepared for anything.
Tai Shi Ci raised his head and looked at Sun Ce in the distance, and a trace of dark clouds floated in his heart.
