Sun Ce broke through the thousands of troops, straddled the green horse, and came to Zhang Liao under the escort of Huang Zhong, Dian Wei and others.

The green horse was given to Huang Zhong by Qin Mu, and after Huang Zhong learned that it was sent by Qin Luo, he refused to accept it again and insisted on returning it to Qin Mu. Qin Mu simply transferred it to Sun Ce. Sun Ce didn't want to accept it, but he needed a good horse to face Zhang Liao now, so he accepted it for the time being, which was borrowed.

A good war horse is not only fast and powerful, but more importantly, docile and humane, and able to understand the rider's movements well. Qinghai Cong is synonymous with a good horse. A Qinghai skull is worth 100 gold, as low as ten real war horses, and it is definitely worth the money.

Sun Ce also has a certain understanding of the Guanzhong family. The Qin family is just a small family in Guanzhong, and as soon as they make a move, they are a Qinghai horse, which is really not something that ordinary people can do. Even if it is because of their family's horse sellers, and the price of war horses in Longxi is far from being so high, it is still not to be underestimated to have so many high-grade war horses.

War horse resources are a headache for him.

Seeing Zhang Liao's dark circles, Sun Ce was secretly happy in his heart. Even if you are a master, a bad rest can affect your state. He has an army of 10,000 people, and Huang Zhong and others share the responsibilities, so they can have a good rest. Zhang Liao is outside the city, there are only more than 1,000 people, and it is normal to have a bad rest at night. He was a little more sure.

"Wen Yuan, didn't you rest yesterday?" Sun Ce said lightly.

Zhang Liao really didn't rest well, he didn't sleep all night, and he drank a lot of wine, and he is a little groggy now. It's just that he wasn't interested in saying these things to Sun Ce. He just wanted to complete the task as soon as possible and kill Sun Ce or Huang Zhong to prove his innocence. Seeing Sun Ce riding the Qinghai Horse that Huang Zhong had ridden, a hint of joy flashed in his heart. With his current state of mind, it was somewhat difficult to defeat Huang Zhong, and the chances of defeating Sun Ce should be greater.

"Sun Ce, we ...... Have you really seen it? ”

Hearing Zhang Liao's words, Sun Ce secretly laughed in his heart. It is also a matter of pride to be able to fool Zhang Liao into doubting himself. However, he did not intend to answer Zhang Liao head-on at all, and vowed to carry out the cause of fooling to the end, until Zhang Liao was fooled into surrendering.

"Is it meaningful to see or not to see it? Stop talking nonsense, come on, duel it out. ”

Zhang Liao had no choice but to cheer up, slap his horse and charge, and raise the iron halberd to stab Sun Ce. Sun Ce kicked Qinghai Cheng lightly, waved a thousand troops to break, shouted, and slashed at Zhang Liao's iron halberd, but did not take advantage of the situation to counterattack, and staggered past Zhang Liao.

Each ran dozens of steps, and the two turned their horses' heads, accelerated again, and fought together.

Zhang Liao used an iron halberd, but his iron halberd was not very long, only one zhang and five feet.

There was no stirrup in the Han Dynasty, the knight could only use his legs to clamp the war horse to charge, the fixing effect was not good, once it encountered a strong collision, it was easy to fall off the horse, so the cavalry was mainly cavalry shooting, and the melee was chopped with a ring head knife, only the real master would use a spear halberd to fight in close combat, and the spear halberd used was not as long as that of later generations, only slightly longer than the spear halberd used by the foot soldiers, and the so-called Zhangba spear was extremely rare.

The longer the weapon, the more difficult it is to maneuver, and the higher the material requirements. The reason why the long soldiers used by the cavalry in later generations can reach eight zhang or even exceed two zhang is because of the help of stirrups, and the second is because of the improvement of steel smelting technology, the spearhead is getting smaller and smaller, and the spear evolves into a spear, and the spear head is only two or three heavy, which is easier to maintain balance.

Whether the weapon is convenient or not is a matter of life and death, and it cannot be exaggerated, everyone knows that an inch is long and an inch is strong, but no one dares to use a weapon that is beyond their control, otherwise it is equivalent to looking for death.

Even so, Zhang Liao's iron halberd was still much longer than Sun Ce's thousand troops, and it was a direct army, which seemed to have a big advantage.

But, that's just what it seems.

The stab is a longitudinal force, the offensive and defensive sides are facing each other on the hard top, and there is no stirrup, although the opponent is easy to be stabbed off the horse, and it is easy for him to fall off the horse. The chopping is a lateral force, which can be used to increase the speed and greatly reduce the possibility of falling off the horse. The two phases are balanced, Zhang Liao's advantages are limited, and Sun Ce's disadvantages are not as obvious as they seem. In addition, Zhang Liao did not rest well, and his reaction speed was reduced, and it was even more difficult to defeat Sun Ce quickly.

You come and go, the two fight nearly lily, regardless of victory or defeat.

There was nothing wrong with Qinghai Cong, but Zhang Liao's mount was a little unbearable. Sun Ce's fighting spirit was strong, but Zhang Liao was a little tired, and his breath became heavy. Maybe it's impetuousness, maybe it's conceit, he doesn't think it's because Sun Ce's martial arts are not as bad as he imagined, but subconsciously believes that he hasn't rested well, which is always a little bit worse, and he hasn't finished his work.

"The horsepower is running out, change the horse and fight again." Zhang Liao had no choice but to find a passable reason and asked for a pause. As soon as the words came out, he felt his face heat up. If Sun Ce didn't agree, he could only fight again.

Sun Ce couldn't ask for it, so he readily agreed.

"In that case, you should just take a break." Sun Ce is very considerate. "I see that your face is not good, you must have not rested well yesterday. Although I have cut off my robe, I don't want to take advantage of you. Give you half an hour, is that enough? ”

Zhang Liao was ashamed, and said repeatedly: "Enough, enough." "I didn't even have the courage to look at Sun Ce, so I turned my horse back to the battle.

Sun Ce smiled secretly in his heart, and also turned his horse back. He turned over and dismounted, ordered a mat to be laid out, a table was set up, and he took out the prepared wine and meat to eat and drink. He also asked people to bring some wine and meat to Zhang Liao, so that he could eat enough and fight again.

Zhang Liao didn't think too much about it. Although he really wanted to kill Sun Ce to prove his innocence, after all, it was a competition, not a battle, and it was common for the two sides to give each other wine and food. Sun Ce is generous, if he doesn't eat it, he will look petty. He accepted Sun Ce's gifts, exchanged gifts, and also sent some wine and food to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce is in the middle of it, you come and go, this is more like an old friend with friendship. What he wants is this effect, one is to soften Zhang Liao, and the other is to further create misunderstandings, so that Zhang Liao cannot explain. This scene reached the ears of Duan Xuan and others, even if Xu Rong wanted to exonerate Zhang Liao, it was not convincing.

Although Zhang Liao is not a brave and unscrupulous person, but in terms of heart, Zhang Liao is really not his opponent.

The five virtues of the generals, led by wisdom, are the second. He has been planning for so long, not just to fight Zhang Liao. He carefully weaved a big net to put Zhang Liao into it step by step, and by the time Zhang Liao understood it, he was already deep in it and couldn't extricate himself. And Zhang Liao is only the first target, and his ultimate goal is Xu Rong. Zhang Liao is a native of Bingzhou, and he is born at odds with the people of Liangzhou, and Xu Rong is a native of Youzhou, so he can't be of the same heart and mind with Duan Xuan and others, and there is a rift. As long as he has enough patience, put a long line, catch a big fish, provoke a little, and beat patiently, this rift will eventually become an irreparable flaw.

At that time, his chance to defeat Xu Rong came.

Opportunities require not only patience, but also active creation when necessary.
