Chapter Twenty-Eight: The King of Weapons
"General, we have escaped from the Zhao army!"
On the avenue leading from the house to Shiyi, Wuqiu with a small number of cavalry was desperately running towards Shiyi. From the beginning of the house before it was besieged, he issued rescue orders to Shiyi and the direction of the Southern Great Wall through scouts, so he dared to defend the house and hold on, otherwise according to his old problem, he would have gone out to fight first and then talk about it, and he still had to wait to be besieged?
However, I don't know what's going on, I just don't see anyone. The Southern Great Wall is a good point, as a key area for the defense of the southern part of Zhongshan, it is easy not to send reinforcements to prevent the enemy from moving the tiger away from the mountain.
But your Shiyi city walls are strong, the soldiers are well fed, and the distance from my house is also the shortest, I also hope that you will come to the rescue of me, so that I can fight with me inside and outside, and hit Zhao Jun hard, but I waited for three days, but you didn't come. Damn, if Lao Tzu goes to Shiyi City, he will definitely not spare you.
While cursing the defenders of Shiyi in his heart, Wuqiu kept urging the horses forward. Fortunately, just now the deputy general thought of a plan to attack the west, so that Zhao Jun thought that he would break through in the east, but the big mouth exposed from the north allowed him to escape smoothly, even so, he did not dare to delay, and rushed to Shiyi non-stop.
House to the northwest, running horse slope.
It was originally a natural horse farm, and for many years, it supplied the military horses used by the Zhongshan Kingdom. Later, after Zhongshan was captured by Wei, this place became abandoned, because Wei absolutely did not want to have a strategic reserve base between Zhao, Yan and Qi. Therefore, the Wei State destroyed the horse farm set up here and left it to be abandoned. After the Zhongshan Kingdom returned to the country again, it was no longer able to return to its original appearance, and it was at the forefront of the confrontation against the Zhao Kingdom.
Another great significance of Lok Ma Po is that it is the only way for the house to reach Shiyi, because in other places, unless you go back to the east by detour, you can only pass through Lok Ma Po. Although the slopes are relatively gentle, the hills on both sides make it a dangerous place.
When Wuqiu led the cavalry and broke into this place in a mighty way, he suddenly had a trace of vigilance in his heart, and hurriedly reined in the horses, so that the Zhongshan cavalry galloping behind him stopped temporarily. The others also hurried to stop when they received the order. They looked at their leader with a blank look at each other.
Although Wuqiu is sometimes very reckless, since he can lead the army, he still has some thoughts in his heart. He used to pass by here without any suspicion, but when he just broke in, he clearly felt that there was a hint of murder and a cruel smile, and he was spying on himself somewhere, as if he was entering a road of no return.
He didn't move forward, but waited and watched. The wind carried the fluttering blades of grass and flew in front of his eyes, and floated in the eyes of the mound, which was the signal that the enemy was about to move. Because vaguely, he observed, the number of leaves flying on both sides was different! This is wondering, why are there fewer leaves floating on both sides than in other places? Why, who doesn't want them to float?
The wind is blowing stronger and stronger, and Wuqiu still has no intention of moving forward, he squints and looks at the hillsides on both sides, but he doesn't advance, which makes the cavalry behind him wonder, what's wrong with the boss?
"General, why don't you leave?" A family will speak the minds of all.
"Let's go? Hmph, if you go again, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back! Wuqiu said with a sneer.
Everyone had followed him for many years, and knew what this meant, so they consciously moved closer to him, and after a while, a circle around Wuqiu was set up. The cavalry looked at the surrounding hillside vigilantly, and drew their weapons one after another, and for a while, the slow hillside was filled with murderous aura, as if as long as there was a little sound, the entire murderous aura would explode.
Eventually, the wind began to stir up, carrying dust and drifting through the valley. The strings that were taut in everyone's minds were struck by a noisy sound of horses' hooves. Wu Qiu followed the path and looked ahead, he knew that there would be an opponent there in a moment, an opponent who would come to catch him.
Sure enough, at the turn of the mountain road, a young general, wearing the armor of Zhao Jun, riding a black military horse, holding a weapon that looks like a spear but not a spear in his hand, overall, the length is about the same as a spear, but unlike the heaviness of the spear, the weapon that this young general is holding seems to be much lighter, because he didn't bother at all, and he lifted it easily. However, as long as it is a weapon, there is never a distinction between kindness, so this time, it must also be for killing.
Li Zhuo carried a spear—the name Zhao Yong had given him after seeing his weapon. If the Great Monarch of Zhao knew that the spear was the most popular in the Sui and Tang dynasties, he would definitely have created another time-making weapon - he was smiling, and the cavalry of the Zhao State behind him was also in good spirits, looking at the Zhongshan people, especially looking at the Wuqiu Duck, whose eyes were like rabbits, exuding a strange red.
"In front is the main general of the house city, General Wuqiu." Li Zhuo sat on the horse, looked at the embarrassed appearance of Wuqiu in front of him, and remembered that he had played with them, and a proud feeling arose in his heart. You must know that being able to defeat Zhongshan and occupy Gaotang in the Tang Dynasty made the Zhao people of the whole country happy, because Zhao had been looking forward to this victory for a long time.
"It's my hill down there, who are you?"
"In the Lower Zhao Kingdom, Li Zhuo, on the orders of my Zhao Guojun, I am here to greet the general."
"Your Majesty, do you mean that Zhao Yong's kid is also here? No wonder today's Zhao Jun seems to see the girls, and he is very dry to us, and he dares to love because Zhao Yong's kid is here. If I knew this, I would have killed your Zhao army's position, fought hard and then fled. When Wu Qiu heard that Zhao Yong was in the army, but he had been hiding all along, he felt a sense of chagrin in his heart. is on the tongue, and you are not polite to Li Zhuo.
When he heard these words, he couldn't help it anymore. "Your old boy is quite crazy, you have the ability to come, Lao Tzu doesn't beat your face full of flowers, you don't know why the flowers are so red." Through the contact in the past few days, Li Zhuo admires Zhao Yong, especially Zhao Yong is like a big brother, even if he reprimands, he often does it in private, and never loses his face, so in Li Zhuo's eyes, there is no difference between who wants to insult Zhao Yong and insult himself.
"Hey, yellow-haired boy, when Lao Tzu was fighting, you still peeked at the girl taking a bath!" Wu Qiu was further provocative.
"Old Maozi, what is there to show off. If you have the ability to see the real chapter in your hands, don't bite like a dog here. ”
"In that case, let me see how bold you kid is." As he spoke, he ordered the cavalry to wait in place, and he slapped his horse forward, and an iron rod in his hand was carried upside down.
"Who's afraid of whom!" Li Zhuo also did not show weakness, and also ordered the cavalry to pause, and rushed to Wuqiu with his spear.
On this small hillside, two old and new kings of the Cold Weapon Era launched an epoch-making battle. The old king has been standing in the world for many years, looking for many cold weapons, almost invincible; And the new king is already eager to try, although he inherits the genes of the old king, but in the process of metabolism, only the continuous transcendent, may be able to lead the cold weapon to continue to serve mankind.
The land of size is just a step away. I saw a man in black clothes and black armor, young and heroic, with an uninhibited smile on his face; A blue shirt and blue pants, vicissitudes of life, and there seems to be a hidden dissatisfaction with the world between his eyebrows. And their weapons were instantly penetrated into each other's strength. Finally, at the moment of running, one shot and one stick, the first intimate contact was made.
The opponent's long pole is soft.
This is the only feeling after the first move of Wuqiu. He easily felt that after his iron rod touched Li Zhuo's weapon, it was like hitting a ball of cotton, and it was powerless. And the opponent's weapon, after being deflected, returned to its original state.
Wu Qiu quickly drew back the iron rod, and then sent it forward, hitting Li Zhuo's life. Seeing that he was about to be stabbed by an iron rod, Li Zhuo also held his hands and held his spear to block Wuqiu's attack, and then saw him suddenly pull back the iron rod, change another location, and stab Li Zhuo again. Li Zhuo had no choice but to withdraw the spear again and resist again, and the war horse under his feet seemed to feel the master's heart, and from time to time he stumbled against his compatriots. You come and go, so it's not lively.
Speaking of guns, I have to mention the spear. Guns and spears, although they are of the same family, are fundamentally different in their most important parts.
The spear is an ancient weapon, since the birth of human beings in the war, this weapon appeared on the battlefield, the reason is because human beings in the process of fighting against beasts and companions, found that at the top of a thick and hard wooden pole, plus a sharp head, can easily pierce into the enemy's body, so that human beings invented the spear, the main point is that the hard and heavy long rod and sharp and dexterous spearhead, all the strength of human beings, together on the enemy's body.
The appearance of the spear is people's reinterpretation of strength. After nearly a thousand years of changes, people have discovered from practice that Lao Tzu's wise saying is as good as water can act on cold weapons. Therefore, the use of elastic spears appeared in the weapon spectrum. Since then, guns have been associated with famous generals.
It has to be said that the hardness and straightness of the spear are very suitable for the impact of large troops on the march, so many countries retain strong spearmen phalanxes. The gun, due to its excellent offensive and defensive functions, is more suitable for single-handedness, of course, the twelve-point hard gun is also a weapon of the spear phalanx, in the sense of the gun, it belongs to the variant of the spear. So, you can hear that many famous generals are famous for using guns, and very few famous generals are famous for using spears.
Just like this time, Wuqiu saw an opportunity, turned the stab into a sweep, and smashed it fiercely at Li Zhuo, Li Zhuo did not show weakness, although his strength was not as good as Wuqiu Xuan, but with the elasticity of the spear, when the iron rod swept in, the deformed spear had removed the strength of the iron rod, but it also made Li Zhuo a little embarrassed.
But after all, Li Zhuo has been using the spear for many years, and he has already understood the spear, and with the elasticity of the spear's rebound, he suddenly bounced the iron rod away, and then the spear was retracted, with his left hand in front and his right hand behind, constantly stabbing forward.
Wuqiu was a little hurt by the spear, but he couldn't care about it, and when he saw the spear coming, he kept dodging and retreating. The horses under his crotch also continued to cooperate with him.
For a while, Li Zhuo, who was still passive just now, began to grasp his initiative.
