【Chapter 430】 Tiger Idiot vs. Zhao Zilong
After the first battle, the Zhao family's school field was temporarily quiet.
But the people watching the game on the sidelines whispered to each other, and they got together in twos and threes and whispered about it.
After a fierce battle, everyone was impressed by Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi's exquisite marksmanship and dangerous battle scenes, and they praised and amazed.
During the break, Li Xuan and Guo Jia followed Li Li into the east wing room and drank tea and rested.
"My lord, we have already lost the first formation, and the second formation is crucial. If this battle is lost again, the marriage between Major General Li Xian and Zhao Yu will be temporarily shelved, at least the initiative is not in our hands, and whether it will succeed or not depends on Zhao Yu's words. In this way, we are too passive, and the situation is a little bad! ”
After the three of them sat down, Li Xuan took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said softly to Li Li.
"Hmm. Brother Yuan Zhong is reasonable. Guo Jia nodded and said: "Before that, my subordinates thought that since Zilong was defeated in the hands of General Huan Fei, Wuyi and Chen Zhi should be between Bozhong, and the gap was not big. But after watching the battle just now, the subordinates know that this understanding is wrong, and it is very wrong. Zilong's martial arts are so high that his subordinates are really amazed and eye-opening. General Shu Zhi's martial arts are already among the super-first-class generals, but compared with Zilong, there is still a big gap in marksmanship, riding skills and fighting experience.
Before, the lord was very heavy-handed dragon, and his subordinates were quite puzzling at that time, and they didn't know why. When I saw it today, I knew that the lord's vision was extremely accurate, and his accuracy in recognizing people made his subordinates very admired. Presumably, the lord had already seen that Zilong was both civil and military, and his ambition was loyal and pure, so he did not hesitate to come to recruit him in person, and he was here for half a month. Now that the first battle is over, we have lost the lead, and this second battle is the battle between Xu Chu and Zilong.
The subordinates were very curious. I don't know what chance the lord has to win? ”
Li Li drank the tea unhurriedly, and after Li Xuan and Guo Jia finished speaking, he smiled and bowed his head and said: "Neither Yuan Zhong nor Feng Xiao have seen Zhong Kang make a move, and I don't know how his martial arts are, so they don't have the confidence to win the second battle." It's a natural thing to do, and I can understand that. Zhongkang and Zilong are stronger and weaker, and who is better than the two, to be honest, I don't know the bottom in my heart. But there is one thing I am convinced of. That is, even if Zhong Kang can't defeat Zilong, it's not much different. In my opinion, these two have their own strengths, and the head-to-head battle may be thrilling and dangerous. The battle was fierce above the first battle.
As for the marriage between Brother Siam and Zhao Yu's sister, since ancient times, sages have said: Plans are in people, and success is in heaven. Let it all be left to heaven's will.
The love between men and women is by no means forceful. Only if Zhao Yu is willing, I will set this family business for Brother Siam; If she is unwilling, or still hesitant, then the matter can be put aside for the time being, or even left it at that. Born in troubled times, all men went into battle to fight. Women are far away from the battlefield and are not in danger of dying on the battlefield, so there are far more women in the world than there are men. Therefore, it is not easy to find a good general who is both civil and military. But it's easy to find a few talented and good-looking girls. The twisted melon is not sweet, just let the marriage event go naturally, why force it! ”
Speaking of his younger brother Li Xian's marriage, Li Li seemed extremely calm, without a trace of anger in his words, and talked eloquently without hurry, as if he was confident.
The reason is actually very simple, because Zhao Yu is Li Li's favorite candidate for his brother-in-law, not the woman that Li Xian himself fancies. In this way, there is a lot of room for relaxation, and it is gratifying that family affairs can be accomplished, but if things do not work out, Li Li can also face them calmly.
Maybe Li Xuan, Guo Jia and others are still thinking about Li Li's own face, but he himself has no such concerns. As a person of later generations, he has a very clear view of the affairs of men and women, and if he can do it, he will do it, and if he can't do it, he will not be reluctant, and there is no need to rise to the problem of face. What's more, the reason why Li Li wants to ask for his younger brother is not entirely because of Zhao Yu's pure beauty, but because the drunkard's intention is not to drink, not to his sister but to his brother.
After Guo Jia and Li Xuan heard Li Li's words, the two looked at each other speechlessly, looked at each other, and shook their heads and smiled helplessly.
It is true that in the eyes of the two of them, this matter is indeed a big deal, but the lord Li Li disagrees, his mind is very peaceful, and he doesn't seem to really take family affairs to heart. If this is the case, with the extraordinary wisdom of Li Xuan and Guo Jia, they can naturally think of the true purpose of the lord proposing marriage for his younger brother Li Xian, and the proposal is just the appearance, and winning over Zhao Yun is Li Li's true intention.
―――――――――――――――――
"Click!"
An hour and a half later, the second jousting began, and the two sides rode into the school field.
Zhao Yun is still dressed in silver-white armor, holding a pear flower gentian gun, his demeanor is still the same, and his spirit is vibrant. The only difference is that he changed his mount this time, and instead of choosing the Xiliang War Horse in the West Corner Stable, he rode his own mount, the Night Shine Jade Lion.
This is a snow-white horse, full of snow-white, without half a stray hair, body length of one foot and two, hooves to the back of more than nine feet high. The four hooves are strong, the big hooves and wrists, seven inches thin, the bamboo skewer ears and the mantis neck, the dry stick bones, the front chest is open, and the shape is like a phantom dragon. This horse is native to the Western Regions of Dawan country, travels thousands of miles a day, and is the best of the best among the horses. Legend has it that this horse was born with long hair around its neck, shaped like a male lion, and had a fierce temperament, and when it grew up, it would be driven out of the herd, because the snow-white mane on the horse's body would glow silver at night, which was extremely weird.
The snow-white mount under Zhao Yun's seat is very majestic, and the horse's neck is full of long white hair, which resembles a lion. There is a magnolia-like mark on the left ear, slightly raised xiangshang, like horns; There are four whirls on one side of the horse's belly, eight on both sides, which happen to grow outside the important organs, and the mane on the whirlwind is slightly gray, as if there is a very thick, like dragon scales. It has horns on its head and scales on its abdomen, which shows that this horse is strange and treacherous, even if it is not a dragon, it is also a dragon species.
With the length of the horse's body, the height of its back, and its horns and scales, this dragon is no less than any horse in the world. Even compared with the red rabbit horse under Lu Bu's crotch, it is not inferior.
The jade lion shines at night, this is the name of the mount that Zhao Yun reported to Xu Chu.
As in the first battle, before the battle, the two sides reported the origin of weapons, armor and mounts to each other to show their sincerity and selflessness. After all, Zhao Yun and Xu Chu are sworn brothers, and this battle is a martial arts competition, so the two sides do not hide their secrets. Tell each other frankly, with the righteousness of all brothers.
And Zhao Yun rode his own mount out of the battle this time, which shows that he has both respect and jealousy for his second brother Xu Chu, and is far less relaxed than the first formation.
In the previous battle, Zhao Yun just randomly selected a spare war horse prepared by Li Li's people, and then fought against Chen Zhi, but in the end, he narrowly defeated Chen Zhi due to the exhaustion of the war horse. If it weren't for his athletic skills, he should have become a good person, and Chen Zhi had encountered a big war for the first time and lacked combat experience. So it remains to be seen who will win and who will lose.
In this battle against Xu Chu, Zhao Yun really didn't dare to be careless, took out all his family background, and went all out.
After Zhao Yun's report was completed, Xu Chu stood up. Said loudly: "Third brother Gaoyi, the foolish brother thanked you first." For his brother, he was dressed in battle armor and had a long knife in his hand, all of which were family heirlooms. The name of the battle armor is 'Xuantian battle armor'. It is made of the meteorite of the nine heavens that fell from the sky. The name of this war knife in his hand is called 'Nine Rings Golden Back Broadsword', which is about one zhang five feet nine inches long, with nine holes on the back of the knife and nine gold rings. This knife will make a piercing sound when wielded, confusing and confusing. Later, during the battle, he asked the third brother to pay more attention. ”
When he was about to fight, he informed the opponent of the top secret of his weapon, Xu Chu was broad-minded and magnificent. It can be seen.
After a pause in his tone, Xu Chu continued: "A certain war horse is a thousand-mile horse given by the lord, with a body length of about one zhang and two, a shoulder height of nearly nine feet, and a black body, without a trace of miscellaneous hair. Like the mount under the crotch of Zilong, this horse has four spinners on each side of the belly, with endoscopic scales, and there are also whirlers at the joints of the four hooves, which is born with a vision. So, after getting this horse, I named it 'Big Green Dragon'.
This battle with the third brother was the first time I encountered a big battle on the Qinglong Horse, and it was because I was determined to win. I hope that the third brother will go all out, don't keep your hands, you and my brother will have a big battle, and after the war, you will get drunk and rest! ”
There are swirls in the belly of the war horse, and the scales are born, which is the dragon species. But all the war horses with such visions are all good horses in a million, and the famous horses of thousands of miles passed down from ancient times are like this.
"Second brother said it well!" Zhao Yun continued: "As the elder brother said, the younger brother also has this intention today. It doesn't matter who wins or loses, I just want to have a hearty battle with my brother, which is enough to comfort my life! ”
"Haha!" Xu Chu Hongsheng daxiao, holding the reins, said loudly: "In this case, my two brothers will fight!" ”
"Wait!" Just as Xu Chu and Zhao Yun were about to ride their horses to fight, Li Li suddenly interjected on the sidelines: "Zilong, Zhongkang, this battle is limited to three hours, that is, until the afternoon. If the two of you can decide whether you win or lose in three hours, that's it; If the winner cannot be determined as scheduled, it will be a tie and a truce. There was a third battle in the afternoon, and time was limited, so it had to be so. Do you have any objections? ”
"No, obey the orders of the lord!" After Zhao Yun and Xu Chu were slightly stunned, they invariably turned sideways to receive the order.
Li Li bowed slightly, a happy smile appeared on his face, and then he shouted loudly: "I order, the battle will start immediately!" ”
"Ride--da!"
With Li Li's order, Zhao Yun and Xu Chu moved instantly, waved the reins, galloped on the prancing horse, and rushed head-on.
The fierce general is equipped with a god horse, and the horse is galloping, and the distance of more than 30 steps is instantaneous. When they met head-on, Xu Chu raised his hand and slashed horizontally with a powerful knife, as if there was a thunderous momentum, and the war knife broke through the air and attacked, with the sound of "ding bell" of the golden ring. On the other hand, Zhao Yun, his speed and momentum are not weak at all, the jade lion in the night is galloping, his hands are unreined, the pear flower gentian spear pierces the sky, and in the flickering cold light, the spear breaks through the airflow and stabs out quickly.
"Bell---sneer!"
In an instant, the nine-ring golden-backed war knife, which was wrapped in strong air currents and a piercing sound, collided with the pear flower gentian spear in the air. The moment the two divine weapons collided, a spark more than a foot long splashed, and the sound of slamming was loud, and the sound shook all directions. In the middle of the blow, the nine-ring war knife in Xu Chu's hand slid all the way down the barrel of the gentian spear, slashing out a series of brilliant sparks, and the blade wiped out Zhao Yun's wrist.
And the moment Zhao Yun's spear burst out was shocked by Xu Chu's horizontal knife, he suddenly felt a huge force surging into his arm along the barrel of the gun, and his hands suddenly became green, and the barrel of the gun shook, trying to remove this force. Just as he raised his arm to unload the powerful impact, he saw that Xu Chu had a back move in the blow of the horizontal knife, and the sharp knife struck at his wrist.
Suddenly, Zhao Yun released the handle of the gun with both hands one after another, and then grasped the barrel of the gun tightly, and used the handle of the gun to pick the blade, and then the spear suddenly flipped over, completely swinging Xu Chu's war knife. Then he slipped his hands. Holding the handle of the gun again, he used the gun instead of a stick, and smashed it vigorously at Xu Chu, and the blade of the gun was close to Xu Chu's chest.
Xu Chu was not afraid, blocked with a horizontal knife, and propped Zhao Yun's gentian gun above his head, but the back of the knife was flipped and he waved with one arm. With this blow, he didn't try to attack Zhao Yun's body, but went straight to the spear and slashed. It was completely a hard-hitting style of fighting with force, forcing Zhao Yun to avoid with a gun. If not, Zhao Yun could only collide with him head-on, and the weapon collided. Strength against strength.
In a hurry, Zhao Yun had no choice but to wave his gun to meet him. The gentian spear collided with the nine-ring war knife again in the air. Dazzling sparks several feet long were splashed, causing a loud roar.
In the loud noise, Zhao Yun once again felt the huge shock force from the barrel of the gun, causing his pressure to increase greatly, his hands were paralyzed, and his arms were swollen and painful. His chest was suffocated, and his face was flushed.
Fight liliang, after all, he is not as strong as Xu Chu, this kind of hard-hitting competition. made him feel helpless and suffered a lot.
"Bell, bell!"
Xu Chu, who won the opportunity again, after a knife strike, the blade flipped rapidly, and the speed of the knife burst rapidly, continuously slashing Zhao Yun's gentian gun, forcing Zhao Yun to continuously passively defend and resist, and bear the continuous shock force of the gun again and again. And the reason why Zhao Yun fell into a passive defensive situation was caused by his unloading of force just now. In a moment, he lost his first move, and he fell into passivity, and had to passively defend against Xu Chu's serial attacks. And Xu Chu's sword-wielding attack was extremely concise and fast, completely giving up attacking Zhao Yun's physical vital point, and specifically hitting the gentian gun, trying to injure Zhao Yun with his own strong liliang. On the other hand, Zhao Yun, in the face of this kind of tough attack, even if he has the intention to avoid it, he can't help but guard against it; Otherwise, the flaws will be exposed, and the door will be opened, which will be more and more unfavorable to him.
Again, if a master makes a move and falls behind others with a blow, he will fall into passivity everywhere, causing himself to fall into parry and lose the power to take the initiative to attack. Especially in horse warfare, sitting on the back of a horse galloping with four hooves, you can only advance but not retreat, and you can't help yourself, and there is no room for calm maneuver.
"Da Da Da!"
The two horses staggered and galloped in opposite directions, and the two men in the fierce confrontation finally separated, and each rode his horse and turned around.
When Zhao Yun returned to the horse, he couldn't help but shake his swollen and aching arms a few times, exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, and quickly adjusted the rhythm of his rapid breathing to stabilize his mind. Under one combination, he suffered a dark loss, defended more and attacked less, and collided with Xu Chu hard, but his strength was not as good as that of others, his arms were paralyzed, and the tiger's mouth on his left hand cracked, overflowing with red blood stains. Fortunately, this is only the first battle, he lost the lead without noticing, and had to collide with Xu Chu, and was passive for a while, but this was limited to the battle within the first combination.
When he turned around, Zhao Yun already had a countermeasure in his heart, re-determined the way of fighting, and Liliang made up for it with speed and marksmanship when he was slightly weaker, turning passivity into initiative, so as not to be controlled by others again.
Go back to the horse and fight again. Facing the nine-ring war knife that Xu Chu raised his knife and slashed directly, Zhao Yun rushed on his horse, swung his spear to shake Xu Chu's war knife, and then shook his body, leaned over the left side of the war horse, and stabbed sharply with a gun in one arm. Xu Chu slashed into the air, but he couldn't retract the knife, so he had to hold the knife shaft, use the handle of the knife to block, and swing away the spear that Zhao Yun stabbed at suddenly. But Zhao Yun's shot was a false shot, and the spear was lightly swept away by Xu Chu, and then his gun shook, and he didn't have much strength at all, and the tip of the gun reverberated rapidly in a small way, approaching Xu Chu's wrist on the knife shaft.
Xu Chu didn't expect Zhao Yun to return the gun so quickly, and changed the previous attack with a wide open and closed attack to a clever small and rapid counterattack. Suddenly, Xu Chu didn't have time to swing his knife to counterattack, so he had to resist with a horizontal knife, and once again shook Zhao Yun's backsweep attack. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun still had a back hand in one blow, and the tip of the cold and bright spear swung up and down left and right, attacking continuously and quickly, and the spear blade never left Xu Chu's hands and wrists holding the knife. Such a small attack caught Xu Chu off guard, and he could only see the move, but he couldn't fight back vigorously. And without a strong counterattack, he could not regain the advantage of the lord, and could only defend passively, so that he had no strength but could not exert it, and he was very aggrieved.
However, Xu Churen was not careless, although the passive defense made him very annoyed, he was not irritable, he defended properly at a glance, did not miss any flaws, and did not let Zhao Yun find a chance to make a contribution.
When the two of them staggered again, they returned to fight again, Xu Chu was also not good at stubble, and a single blow was a false move. When Zhao Yun skillfully resisted, he quickly changed his attack, and with a backhand slash, Zhao Yun's long-standing counterattack ended without a hitch. Immediately, Xu Chu's battle knives came out one after another, and he also gave up the offensive move of opening and closing wide, and changed to a small and fast continuous attack, which firmly dominated the attack. And when the two sides were wrong, he suddenly stabbed vigorously, causing Zhao Yun to passively resist under surprise, and the tiger's mouth that was split in his left hand cracked again, and the blood flowed like an infusion.
Like Xu Chu, when Zhao Yun, who suffered again, returned to fight again, he changed the number of offensive routes again, starting with a rapid attack, and after seizing the advantage of the main attack, the speed of the gun was as fast as lightning, forcing Xu Chu to parry in a hurry, extremely passive.
Subsequently, the two of them fought wits and courage, you came and went, one after another, each leading the way.
The battle intensified, fierce, and dangerous.
Such a fierce battle really made Li Li, Li Xuan and others who were fighting outside the arena tremble, and pinched a cold sweat for the two of them.
An hour later, the two sides fought fiercely for nearly sixty rounds, but neither of them missed the slightest flaw, leaving no opportunity for the other party to take advantage of, and the battle was fierce.
