145.Chapter 145
Although Zhang Fei has just won the championship, he has been brave since he was a child. Even after he participated in the Yellow Turban Uprising, except for Guan Yu, he never met anyone who was equal to him.
When he confronted Chen Xu today, he knew that he had underestimated the heroes of the world.
In order to kill Chen Xu by surprise, Zhang Fei used all his strength at the beginning. But in that confrontation just now, his arm also felt slightly numb.
"Come again!"
Zhang Feile returned to the war horse, a little excited. He is a battle freak who gets his blood boiling as soon as he engages people.
For a long time, he wanted to find someone who was evenly matched and had a good fight with him. But he followed Liu Bei to fight against the Yellow Turbans and fought everywhere, but he had never met such a person.
Chen Xu's hands were also a little numb, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Zhang Fei really deserves to be a fierce general who has left a name in history." ”
The two are about the same age now, and although the fight just now seemed to be evenly matched, Chen Xu used all his strength.
If he keeps fighting with Zhang Fei, it won't be long before his strength will run out.
The reason why he was surprised was because Dian Wei once said that even if he was at Chen Xu's age, his strength was not much different from Chen Xu.
But Zhang Fei, who is in his early twenties, has such divine power, which has to surprise Chen Xu.
"Even so, so what? Zhang Yide, who is famous in later generations, can't quickly behead me. Since I am fortunate to be able to fight him today, even if I don't win, I have to fight hard! ”
Thinking of this, Chen Xu turned his horse's head and shouted loudly: "Fight!" ”
"Bell!"
The sound of weapons intersecting resounded across the battlefield, and the soldiers on both sides held their breath as they watched the two generals come and go.
Zhang Fei's martial arts are a style of opening and closing. He relied on his divine power to excel at others, but whenever he fought with people, he began to rampage. Many people could not withstand his strength and would be stabbed to death with a spear.
Chen Xu was also a brave person, and in the past, he also relied on his own strength to take the route of opening and closing.
But after dozens of rounds, he felt a little lacking in strength. On the other hand, Zhang Fei is becoming more and more courageous.
Clenching the spear in his hand, Chen Xu secretly thought: "I can't go on like this anymore, otherwise it won't be long before I can support it." ”
Chen Xu narrowed his eyes and stared closely at Zhang Fei, who rushed over again, and he had a plan in his heart.
"Kill!"
Zhang Fei came over and stabbed Chen Xu again. The moment Chen Xu's weapon met Zhang Fei's spear, it suddenly shook slightly a few times.
He began to unload the strength of Zhang Fei's spear, and then rubbed Zhang Fei's snake spear with his spear, and quickly attacked Zhang Fei's hands, which was a skill that Chen Xu realized on the battlefield.
Seeing this, Zhang Fei's eyes lit up.
He suddenly withdrew the strength on the snake spear, and then spun his weapon to block the attack of Chen Xu's spear, but instead stuck to Chen Xu's spear and attacked Chen Xu's hands.
Chen Xu was horrified in his heart, and suddenly pulled back his spear to block.
It's a long story, but the two fought in a moment when the horses staggered.
"Good trick!"
The two staggered, and Zhang Fei turned the horse's head and shouted loudly.
"Good understanding!"
Chen Xu couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart when he saw that Zhang Fei quickly cracked his offensive, and then used this trick against him in turn.
Although Zhang Fei's movements just now were still a little jerky, he had already learned the essence of five or six points. As long as he is given time to figure it out, it won't be long before Zhang Fei learns this trick.
With such an amazing understanding and such a terrifying fighting talent, how could Chen Xu not be surprised?
It was only at this time that he really began to pay attention to the top generals of this era.
The martial arts of those top generals are by no means stagnant. The more battles they participate in, and as they get older, their martial arts will improve dramatically.
Looking at the history of the Three Kingdoms, it can be found that whether it was Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, or Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao in the early stage, their military exploits were not outstanding.
In terms of force, Lu Bu, who is at the peak of integrity, can be proud in the early stage of the Three Kingdoms.
But with the passage of time, with the growth of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others. They have not only improved their personal martial arts, but also their experience in leading soldiers to fight.
Famous generals are not born, but through the accumulation of countless battles, they have formed experience.
Now Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, their martial arts may not even be able to defeat Yan Liang and Wen Chou. But as they grow, they will eventually reach their personal peak.
If Chen Xu relied on his own strength and relied on the knowledge of future generations more than others, if he was stagnant, he would eventually be eliminated by history.
Thinking of this, Chen Xu's eyes shrank. He knew he had a long way to go.
In the past, on the battlefield, he relied on his extraordinary strength and rarely pondered his skills. But now it seems that when he fights against top generals, his so-called innate divine power loses his advantage.
There is no top military general in the Three Kingdoms period who is not a person with outstanding strength. Even those second- and third-rate generals, they are also born with divine powers.
However, the gap between top generals and second- and third-rate generals is not in strength, but in martial arts and skills.
"Looks like I should be working on my skills in the future." Chen Xu thought secretly in his heart.
Having superior skills not only makes it easier to kill people, but also saves most of your own strength, making the generals have more lasting combat effectiveness.
"Come on, let me see what new tricks you have in store!"
Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he saw the hunt, slapped his horse and danced his spear, and killed Chen Xu again.
Seeing this, Chen Xu secretly complained in his heart.
Compared with strength, he is not as good as Zhang Fei. Compared with skills, not to mention that he has not been guided by famous teachers, he lacks skills.
Just talking about Zhang Fei's terrifying learning ability, even if he can use some skills, he will be learned by Zhang Fei after all.
"I can't go on like this, or I'll really die on the battlefield."
Suddenly, Chen Xu's heart moved.
He also did not turn the horse's head, but directly patted the horse back to the battle, and said loudly: "I haven't eaten enough today, and my strength is not good, I think it's better for us to strike the battle with the two armies first." After a certain person has eaten enough, he will come and fight to the death with your gangster. ”
Zhang Fei saw Chen Xu, who was still in a big show just now, and actually turned his horse and ran. After hearing what he said, he was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "The thief is gone, and then he will fight with a certain one for three hundred rounds!" ”
Chen Xu didn't pay attention to it, just buried his head and rode towards the formation.
"Drive!"
Zhang Fei was very anxious when he saw this, but he made a military order to kill Chen Xu. If he is allowed to flee back to his own position, how can he fulfill his military order?
Thinking of this, Zhang Fei lifted the reins and slapped his war horse to chase after Chen Xu.
Chen Xu's actions couldn't help but surprise the officers and men of the two armies. The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army saw their own commander fleeing on the battlefield for the first time.
The two armies were not far apart, and if Chen Xu really wanted to escape, Zhang Fei would definitely not be able to catch up. But the speed of the war horse under his crotch is getting slower and slower, and Zhang Fei is riding a big black horse, and he is getting closer and closer to Chen Xu.
Seeing that Zhang Fei was about to catch up with Chen Xu with a spear, the Yellow Turban Army all shouted loudly: "Be careful, that black guy has caught up with you!" ”
Chen Xu just didn't hear it, but the war horse under his crotch seemed to be exhausted, and the slower he ran.
Zhang Fei saw that he had caught up with the thief general, and he was overjoyed, and he was about to stab Chen Xu to death with a spear.
Chen Xu held the spear tightly in his right hand, and his ears kept moving.
After he heard the sound of the horse's hooves behind him getting closer and closer, he first pulled the reins with his left hand, and then lay on his back on the horse, holding the gun in both hands, and stabbed Zhang Fei behind him.
Zhang Fei was about to stab Chen Xu to death with a spear, when he suddenly saw Chen Xu's spear stabbing at his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a big hanging.
However, the two were already very close to each other, and the big black horse he sat on was still running forward because he was running too fast, and he had a strong inertia. The spear that Zhang Fei stabbed out didn't have time to change his moves.
Seeing that Zhang Fei was about to be stabbed to death by Chen Xu, suddenly a gust of wind blew, flying sand and stones.
A small stone was blown into the eyes of the big black horse where Zhang Fei sat down, and the big black horse suddenly raised its hooves and roared.
"Poof!"
The spear stabbed into the belly of the big black horse, and a stream of blood spurted out. Chen Xu suddenly pulled out the spear in his hand, and the big black horse suddenly fell to the ground.
Zhang Fei escaped death and was thrown to the ground by the big black horse, drenched in cold sweat.
He rolled on the ground, and then picked up the snake spear that fell to the ground, vigilantly guarding against Chen Xu's attack.
Seeing that he failed to kill Zhang Fei, Chen Xu had mixed feelings in his heart. There is both frustration and rejoicing.
To be honest, Chen Xu in later generations liked the character of Zhang Fei very much. But he knew that Zhang Fei was affectionate and righteous, loyal to Liu Bei, and it was impossible to take him under his command.
Chen Xu is determined to dominate the world, and deep down he is very wary of Cao Cao and Liu Bei. He wouldn't mind killing both of them if he could.
So just now, after Chen Xu thought of the trick of returning the horse pistol, he wanted to kill Zhang Fei by fraud.
Ever since in Puyang City, Chen Hu fought five generals under Wang Yan's tent, killed one general with a horse pistol, and then killed several people in a row, Chen Xu made up his mind to practice this trick well.
The principle of returning to the horse gun is to feign defeat and escape, and then unexpectedly restrain the war horse, turn around and kill the enemy with one shot.
This truth is understood by those who have heard of the return of the carbine in later generations, but it is extremely difficult to practice well.
First of all, if you want to be surprised, you must not look back, and you can only judge the distance by listening to the sound of horses' hooves behind you.
This is very important to grasp the timing, if you shoot too early or too late, you will not be able to kill the enemy.
And it is necessary to cooperate with the war horse under the crotch, if the war horse can't stop in time, it can't use this trick.
In addition, there are also very high requirements for the user's riding skills. It's not easy to lie on horseback and be able to stab a shot with all your might.
Chen Xu practiced for a long time before he practiced this trick well, thinking that he could kill Zhang Fei, but he didn't want a gust of wind to save his life.
"Could it be that even if you go to the sky, you don't want to see Zhang Fei fall here?"
