Chapter 103: Martial Arts Tournament (2)

As we all know, the focus of spear riding is to use the wooden gun in your hand and the acceleration of the horse to hit the opponent's body parts, forcing him to lose his balance and fall from his horse.

Generally speaking, most knights are unable to move their bodies flexibly due to their heavy armor, let alone dodge, and can only clamp their spears with the help of the strength of their waist and legs to resist the opponent's attacks.

This means that basic factors such as height, weight, strength and the horse's sprint speed can often be the difference between victory and defeat.

Loras Tyrell undoubtedly knew this, so he didn't hesitate to let the fine war horse under his crotch suddenly speed up, intending to artificially create a time gap.

But he obviously didn't know that in fact, the armor Zhang Cheng was wearing was far less heavy than he imagined, to be exact, it was almost like a coat.

In addition to the light iron sheet wrapped in the outside to hide people's eyes, the bottom is all ice armor and mana shields made of arcane energy, which will not affect the movement at all.

At the moment when the "Knight of the Hundred Flowers" confidently handed out the spear, a hint of mockery appeared on Zhang Cheng's face under the helmet, and then he made a gesture on his horse that stunned all the spectators - turning sideways, letting the opponent's cavalry spear slash against his shoulder and cheek, while his own spear poked hard at the shield with a loud sound.

Bang!

Without any accidents, Loras Tyrell, who was unilaterally bearing the impact force, flew up from his horse and fell to the ground in embarrassment, and his helmet also fell off at the moment of impact, and he no longer had the so-called chivalrous demeanor.

What's even more terrifying is that because his feet are stuck in the stirrups, he is dragged forward by the war horse, and his head is about to crash into the wooden guardrail in front of him.

Once hit, not to mention the damage to the skull caused by the impact, the fragile neck alone will break on the spot.

Such a thrilling scene made many people present stand up involuntarily, especially those women who closed their eyes one after another, as if they couldn't bear to see the tragic death of the "Prince Charming" in their minds.

Similarly, the nobles close to the Tyrells were holding their breath, knowing very well what a shock Loras Tyrell would cause if she died at a tournament.

But at this moment, Zhang Cheng suddenly drew his sword, turned around and threw it vigorously, straight past the opponent's war horse, and inserted it into the wooden fence in the middle.

The dragged "Hundred Flowers Knight" was impartial, his pedal just cut through the sharp blade of the sword, and the leather rope used for fixing it broke in response.

Due to inertia, he continued to roll forward a few times, but finally stopped, avoiding the tragic end of breaking his neck.

Bang Bang Bang ......

Before the crowd could come to their senses, Robert was the first to take the lead and stood up, applauding and exclaiming, "Wonderful! This is the contest I want! Mason Asplin! I declare in the name of the king that you have won the first round of the knockout round today." ”

The words just fell!

There was a deafening cheer from the audience!

"Oh my God! it's incredible! The famous Knight of the Hundred Flowers actually lost to an unknown fellow!" exclaimed a young man in disbelief.

The slightly older fat man standing next to him rolled his eyes angrily: "Idiot! Are you blind? A person who has this kind of martial arts, even if he is not famous now, will be famous when the tournament is over." ”

"Yes! I don't think there is any other contestant besides Sir Gregor Clegane who is a match for Sir Mason. Another old man in a purple robe also gave a comment.

In fact, not only them, but almost everyone in the audience was discussing the game fiercely, and there were even some boring women comparing who was more attractive......

"Sir Loras, are you alright?"

After waving to the "Green Hat King" and the audience, Zhang Cheng hurriedly jumped off his horse and approached, deliberately pretending to be very concerned and asked.

"Thank you for your concern, Sir Mason, and thanks to your timely intervention, I am afraid I would not have been able to speak now. The Knight of the Hundred Flowers struggled to his feet from the ground, glancing at the sturdy fence with trepidation.

He couldn't imagine what would have happened if he had just bumped into it, maybe he would have spent the rest of his life in bed paralyzed, which would be the luckiest result.

Zhang Cheng responded with a smile: "This is what I should do, after all, I caused you to fall off the horse, so I naturally have to bear the corresponding responsibility." ”

Loras smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, please don't say that, the reason why I fell off the horse was not because of you, but because of myself, I suddenly sped up my horse. What's more, we're in a joust, and you're just doing what any contestant would do, and I'm convinced. Finally, congratulations on your successful promotion, and I will send someone to deliver the ransom to you later. ”

I have to say that as a well-educated noble child, he does have a bearing that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, and he admits defeat in a generous way, neither making excuses for himself, nor messing around like a scoundrel.

Whether it is acting or from the heart, he sends a clear signal to the outside world that he is a person who can afford to lose.

But Zhang Cheng obviously didn't intend to let the other party go like this, and continued to smile and proposed: "Sir, I heard that you have a habit of giving a rose to a lucky lady at random after each competition. If you don't mind, can I borrow your roses and give them to a lovely and charming young lady?"

"Oh, who are you going to give it to?" asked Loras in surprise.

"Hehe, of course the daughter of our new prime minister, did you see that she was sitting in the stands? With that, Zhang Cheng set his eyes on Sansa and Alya, who were not far away.

As a Game of Thrones player, how could he not notice these two girls who have always had considerable value.

"No problem, please wait!" Loras waved his hand at the waiting attendant without saying a word.

In the blink of an eye, a delicate rose was delivered.

Zhang Cheng didn't mean to be polite at all, took the rose and came to the young sisters under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes.

Sansa, who had been educated as a lady since childhood, had a slightly red face, her heart was pounding, and her eyes revealed a strong expectation.

It is estimated that in her opinion, the young and handsome knight in front of her will definitely give the rose to herself.

But Zhang Cheng surprised everyone, handed the rose in his hand to Alia, who looked like a tomboy, and then put it in her ear and said meaningfully: "Remember, lovely girl, if you are in trouble one day and need help, you can always come to me......"
