Clang!

Wang Fang galloped on his horse, and swung out a knife with both hands, but was shocked by the chain drawn by Li Zhi's hand.

"Ah———h

Suddenly, the war knife flew into the sky against the golden remnant sun, but Wang Fang screamed in pain the moment the war knife was taken off. He was shocked by the tremendous force from the hilt of the knife, his hands cracked, his blood flowed profusely, his arms trembled and swayed, his body flew out upside down in a loud cry of pain, and his buttocks fell backwards to the ground, and he was extremely embarrassed.

Just when Wang Fang landed, he saw Li Zhi fall on the back of Wang Fang's mount again, and then jumped forward, attacking at the same time with both hands and chains, and the rattling iron chains flew like two flying exercises directly hitting the front door of Hu Zheng, the flag bearer.

The moment Li Zhi flew over his head, Wang Fang blurted out a mouthful of blood, and his face became pale and bloodless. However, there was a relieved look on his face, and a hint of luck flashed in his eyes.

Indeed, Wang Fang should rejoice.

Because Li Zhi had already shown mercy to him just now, otherwise the chain that swept from him would not have hit the hilt of the knife, but on his wrist. If this is the case, under such a swift chain beating, his right hand must be difficult to preserve, and he will either die or be disabled. And the reason why he was relieved was not only because he was able to survive, but because he was very confident in the flag bearer Hu Zheng.

Not all Tiger Ben warriors can be appreciated by the Lord like the generals of the Wuwei Army, leading a battalion of men and horses alone and galloping on the battlefield.

Even though some people have the courage to be unsuitable, they are not good at words, and they are not good at dancing and writing, so it is difficult to get ahead after all.

In this world, even if a scholar is poor, he has a higher status than a martial artist. If it has a little more ability of its own. It is easy to be appreciated by those in high positions, and then get the official position of choice. But not with the warriors. Perhaps his martial arts skills are extraordinary, but because of his own wooden personality, he can't please the general, so he can only stick to his post in obscurity and be buried in thousands of troops.

Hu Zheng, the standard-bearer of the Xiliang Army, is this kind of person.

Hu Zheng was originally nameless, a homeless child whose parents died, and he didn't even remember his surname, but only had a milk name, called "Zhengwa". At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a great drought in Liangzhou. Hungry people are everywhere, but Zhengwa, a homeless child, is hard-hitting, begging everywhere with her survival instinct, eating everything, and growing up slowly from a little doll. Serendipitously. He was also taught martial arts by an alien, and since then he has been able to support himself. Say goodbye to the days of begging for food. At the age of fourteen, he joined Li Dao's account. followed the army to fight for thousands of miles, went through countless bloody battles, joined the army for seven years, did not fight or rob, accepted the adversity, and did not die in battle. was slowly promoted from an ordinary soldier to a tun commander by virtue of his qualifications.

A few months ago, Li Dao was severely stimulated by Li Zhi beside Li Li, and returned to the army to select brave men on a large scale, and passed the examination. Zhengwa stands out. The strength of his martial arts is still above the generals in the army, but he will not fight with belligerent generals such as Guo Yan and Zhang Xiu, so it is impossible to know the extent of his martial arts. Subsequently, he was promoted to junior colonel and transferred to Li Dao's pro-military camp, which can be regarded as a manifestation of attaching importance to talents.

Zhengwa is not tall, only seven feet five inches (about 1.72 meters), it does not seem to be very strong, with bronze skin, no trace of fat, extremely powerful, and very explosive. And because he is full of brown curly hair, hooked nose, and his appearance is somewhat similar to the Qiang people in the Western Regions, he is often regarded as Hu'er, so he is named "Hu Zheng". It is precisely because he looks like a Qianghu person, and he doesn't know Chinese characters, and his appearance is different from ordinary people, he is wooden by nature, and he is silent, so he is easy to be ignored. Therefore, Li Dao only valued his bravery, limited to bravery, and did not promote him exceptionally. After thinking about it, Li Wei decided to let him be the flag bearer and be responsible for guarding the Xiliang Shuai Banner.

Only a few people in the Xiliang army have seen Hu Zheng's skills, and Li Meng, the second general of Hum Ha next to Li Wei, and Wang Fang happen to be among them. It is no exaggeration to say that Li Meng and Wang Fang are not Hu Zheng's opponents together, and they can survive 30 rounds at most. If Hu Zheng did his best and killed the killer, it would be even more difficult to say, maybe the two of them could be solved within ten times. Therefore, they vaguely felt that Hu Zheng's martial arts were likely to be not inferior to Li Dao and Guo Yan, or even surpassed. And the reason why Hu Zheng was able to hold the flag this time was the result of Li Meng and Wang Fang's strong recommendation.

————————————————

The film is over, and the battle has begun.

"Whoa, whoa!"

Two rays of cold light shot out at a little afterglow of the sunset, like two flying exercises breaking through the air, hitting Hu Zheng's door directly.

At first glance, he saw that the cold light was approaching, but when he saw Hu Zheng's hands instantly loosen the flagpole that was deeply embedded in the soil, he pulled out his sidearm from behind his back with both hands, and fought back fearlessly.

"Bell!" Under the two crisp sounds, a pair of weapons in Hu Zheng's hands were suddenly entangled by the chains thrown by Li Zhifei. And Hu Zheng did not move at all in the head-on confrontation, did not take half a step back, although his face was dignified, he was not afraid, his expression was still resolute and calm, and he was full of fighting spirit.

"Ugh!" Li Zhi, who jumped into the air, saw that his double-chained hair did not knock down this unsightly flag bearer, but was twisted by a pair of short axes in his hand, and he couldn't break free for a while.

Suddenly, Li Zhi used the power of the flag bearer to twist the chain, his arms suddenly exerted force, and his body instantly turned sideways, and with the momentum of the golden rooster's independence, his right foot went straight to the chest of the flag bearer and kicked it. And Hu Zheng, the flag bearer, also reacted very quickly, at the moment when the chains were relaxed, he gritted his teeth and waved his arms, and the double axes tightened and drove the chains to the side, causing Li Zhifei's kick to miss, and his body was dragged sideways by the huge force from the chains.

"Bang!" Landing on a sideways flip, Li Zhi finally realized that the flag bearer in front of him was definitely a tough stubble, and he was also the toughest opponent he had encountered so far. This person's martial arts can't be seen for the time being, but his strength is amazing, and this liliang alone has no less combat power than the top generals and lower-level generals, and the most important thing is that a pair of short axes in this person's hand are extremely weird, and they are also a pair of extremely rare ancient gods. (The antiquity mentioned here is not the ancient period, but the Shang and Zhou dynasties and the Warring States period before the Great Qin.) ）

Looking closely at the pair of short axes in Hu Zheng's hands, they are actually not axes, but two pairs of short handles.

Yue is a kind of weapon that prevailed in the Western Zhou Dynasty, shaped like an axe, but larger than an axe. Among the eighteen kinds of weapons that Emperor Luan drove with him, there was usually a guard of honor with Huang Yue.

For the Yue, it is generally a long weapon, the rod is one zhang long, there is a Yue at each end of the rod, and there is a small Yue at the lower end of the two Yue, which is perpendicular to the rod. The striking style of the axe is similar to that of the battle axe, so it is often co-branded with the axe and called the "axe".

Yue is a heavy weapon, its weight is still above the battle axe, far less than the Changge, spear, halberd and spear and other weapons, so it is gradually replaced by other weapons. Ordinary generals would not use such physically demanding weapons. Over time, this kind of weapon that prevailed in the Western Shang period was reduced to a strange-shaped weapon, and by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, few people used the war axle as a portable weapon.

Hu Zheng has a pair of short axes, the rod is five feet long, the axe blade is more than one foot long, one finger thick, one foot high, the back of the axe is heavy, and there is a triangular iron cone at the lower end of the axe. A single battle is at least fifty catties, and a pair of warlords together weigh hundreds of catties. This kind of short-handled pair of Yue, even in the Western Zhou Dynasty, was rarely used, and now at the end of the Han Dynasty, it is not an exaggeration to call it a strange weapon.

"A certain is Li Zhi, the commander of Jin Yiwei, who are you?" After his feet landed, Li Zhi did not attack immediately, but declared his name to show his importance to the flag bearer.

The battle is a common name, which is a manifestation of respect for the opponent.

It can be seen that this Xiliang flag bearer is indeed extraordinary, and his own strength has won Li Zhi's recognition.

"Anding Hu Zheng, now a junior colonel under General Li Wei, was ordered to hold the flag. If you want to seize the handsome flag behind you, you have to step on my corpse, or you won't succeed! The flag bearer announced his name, glared at Li Zhi with a desperate face, and said in a deep voice.

Obviously, Hu Zheng's stalemate with Li Zhi was not easy, and he also felt Li Zhi's strength for the first time. Saying this cruel sentence is just to cheer yourself up and boost your confidence. In fact, Hu Zheng is not stupid, but he is limited by his own growth environment and the way of doing things that he has formed for a long time, which makes him extremely inferior, has a very low vision, and is cautious, and he joins the army just to be able to eat enough and not starve. As for anything else, it was not in his mind. Now he was ordered to guard the flag of the commander of the Chinese army, which was not a simple battle flag, but three fat sheep, which the king promised him. As long as he kept the banner, he would get three roasted whole sheep after the war, and he could also get some gold and silver rewards.

It's just that Li Zhi categorically won't know the reason for this. Therefore, after he heard Hu Zheng's words, he felt that Hu Zheng was very backbone and a man who stood up to the sky.

"Good!" Li Zhi exclaimed without hesitation, and then said to Hu Zheng in a deep voice: "The strength is not small, if you dare to use a short-handled pair of Yue as a weapon, your martial arts should not be too bad." You have to be careful, I will definitely take the flag this time. If you can resist ten rounds without dying, you will come to me in the Wuwei Army after the battle, and follow me in the future. I can't call the shots, but I can still do it for you to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life! ”

When he said this, Li Zhi just felt that Hu Zheng was very angry with him, and said this casually, without taking into account the hostile identities of the two sides.

However, Hu Zheng's answer surprised Li Zhi greatly.

"Okay, it's a word, don't go back! As long as you can defeat me, I will follow you in the future, but you have to keep me fed and clothed, and you can't break your promise! Hu Zheng said solemnly.

"Huh? A word is a certainty, never break a word! Li Zhi nodded in agreement. Immediately, he suddenly exerted his arms, and the chains leaned westward, and Hu Zheng had already taken precautions, and the pair in his hand clasped the ring of the iron chain tightly, and his cheeks were bulging, moving left and right with Li Zhi, competing with each other. —————— (To be continued)(To be continued......
