Chapter 82: The Contest (2)

Zhang Mengcheng, who thought he had escaped, didn't expect that someone would ask to compete with him later. Hu and Han in northern Shaanxi, the people are still brave. And the Cai family, who have been thieves at the top of Artemisia for several generations, has a very martial atmosphere in their village. It's just that the habits of bandits make them lack the order and discipline of the army, as long as they are well trained, they are quite good soldiers.

Cai Zhongguang also had some skills after his seventh uncle, so he asked to compete with Zhang Mengcheng for his kung fu immediately. Looking at the people around him, Zhang Mengcheng was a little helpless, so he had to pick up his weapon and ride on his horse to do so.

The project of the competition between the two sides is like the official house competition of the Ming Dynasty. It is nothing more than riding over earthen walls and trenches, riding and shooting, and galloping horses and guns. It's just that they are not like those fancy displays in the imperial court, but as strict as the official competition in the Hongwu period.

In the end, both sides also climbed over the hurdles perfectly. In terms of riding and archery performance, Zhang Mengcheng has the advantage, and in the gun fight, which tests courage and skills, Zhang Mengcheng, who is not very good at the level of line guns, lost to Cai Zhongguang of the whirlwind team without any suspense, and he was defeated by the whirlwind team in three gun fights.

The first time he was stabbed off the horse by Cai Zhongguang with a one-handed gun, and the second time Cai Zhongguang switched to a two-handed gun to defeat Zhang Mengcheng again.

The third time was almost a teasing, Cai Zhongguang directly used a gun to knock Zhang Mengcheng off the horse. Zhang Mengcheng, who was pulled off the horse by the line gun, was dizzy and couldn't stand up after sitting on the ground for a long time. This embarrassed look was very funny, and many of the onlookers around the mugwort peaks laughed.

When Zhang Mengcheng heard these laughter, he felt very embarrassed. He took off his helmet and shook it with his hands over his head, and patted his head with his hands again, finally allowing himself to gradually recover.

"Xiucai, you're okay, brother, I'm too heavy, don't take it to heart. But you also have to work this martial art, why can't you even dodge a shot from me. Thanks to your good posture, isn't this almost a good look, ahahaha. ”

Cai Zhongguang was a little surprised by the fragility of Zhang Mengcheng's spear, and some doubted whether he overestimated Zhang Mengcheng, so he smiled and wanted to work harder in the cultivation of martial arts.

The people who were watching from the top of the mugwort around them finally stopped being patient and laughed insolently when they saw that their leader began to ridicule the talent of Jinding Mountain.

At this time, a thin junior ran into the school field, and the person who came crossed his waist with one hand and pointed at Cai Zhongguang, who was laughing, and asked very angrily: "It doesn't make sense, you are allowed to use the usual weapons, Xiucai He learned the knife technique from the eldest brother, and you let Xiucai change the saber." At that time, you can still knock him off the horse, which is considered your ability. ”

Originally, he saw a person with a black face, and suddenly ran to the center of the school field to question himself, and Cai Zhongguang of the whirlwind team was still a little strange. But after listening to what the other party said, Cai Zhongguang carefully looked at the person who came, and then he laughed again and said: "You young girl (fourth tone), now you will start to be your aunt to protect your man." Good, good, good, the fourth brother doesn't bully him. Someone came to find a wooden knife for Xiucai of Jinding Mountain. Xiucai got up, let's have another good game, haha. ”

Even if I couldn't see the appearance of this descendant, hearing this person's familiar voice and being reminded by Cai Zhongguang, the other people at the top of the mugwort also reacted. They all laughed at the figures in the school yard, and the voices around them continued to sound.

"It's Aunt Nine, Aunt Nine is actually blushing, you see Aunt Nine blushing."

"Didn't you say that the daughter who got married spilled the water, and now she hasn't married yet, so she started to protect the man, nine girls, you are too anxious, hahaha."

"Nine girls, what are you crazy about, hurry back." ……

Originally, Zhang Mengcheng was a little strange that the young man in front of him, who could only see the back, suddenly ran out to speak for himself. But after discovering that the other party's voice was actually a female voice, and then seeing the reaction of the people around him, Zhang Mengcheng finally reacted at this time, it turned out that this was his future mother-in-law.

Although he was being teased by the people around him, his face was deliberately stained for disguise, and at this time it was also red like a monkey's butt. But the little lady wearing a men's dress and a hat still insisted on standing in the venue. Anyway, she was already recognized, so she simply walked to Zhang Mengcheng's side and reached out to help Zhang Mengcheng rub the part that was attacked by Cai Zhongguang.

Seeing the bold actions of the men's lady in the field, the onlookers around laughed even more noisily. Cai Liyuan and a fairly young woman beside him walked into the arena with an embarrassed and helpless look to take their daughter down.

Xiao Niang knew that she couldn't stay too long, so she whispered to Zhang Mengcheng: "My fourth brother has a bad problem when he competes in martial arts, as long as he wins and others fight again, the gun head will always deviate a few inches inward." If you time the right time to shoot his gun, you'll be able to knock him off his horse. ”

Zhang Mengcheng looked at her differently, and his slightly blue eyes were full of disbelief and expectation. Xiucai's heart was a little touched, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Before the other party was pulled down by his father, Zhang Mengcheng finally held back a sentence and said to his fiancΓ©e seriously: "You just look at it." ”

Zhang Mengcheng, who turned over on the horse again, held a somewhat straight wooden knife sent by the person at the top of the mugwort, and returned to the center of the school field under the noisy shouts of everyone. The leader of Jinding Mountain, who had stopped his war horse, immediately raised the saber in his hand and assumed a starting posture of a cavalry three-third.

After the person in charge of presiding over the game sounded the gong, Zhang Mengcheng immediately launched a charge. He looked carefully at the oncoming opponent, and after discovering the opponent's bad habits, he used his saber to open the opponent's gun when Cai Zhongguang's line gun stabbed over. In this round of fighting, Zhang Mengcheng was finally stabbed off the horse in the first round.

When the people around the mugwort found out that they finally had something to look at, everyone shouted loudly and cheered for the two cavalrymen in the center of the school field.

After Cai Zhongguang missed the blow, he began to put away his contempt for the enemy. When the gong was remembered a second time, he charged again, and the second confrontation between the two sides began.

The concentration of both sides of the competition rose again, and the two of them continued to look for each other's flaws. After the figures of the two cavalrymen staggered for a moment, the people around them began to cheer again. In this confrontation between the two, Zhang Mengcheng successfully dodged the line gun stabbed by the other party, and slashed Cai Zhongguang's right shoulder with a saber.

Zhang Mengcheng, who finally won the game, looked a little dignified, although the opponent's strength was not as good as his second brother, but he was also a very good lancer, and Cai Zhongguang's reaction was also very fast. The confrontation just now was just a lucky exploit of the opponent's loophole, and if he reacted a little slower, he was likely to have been picked off by the opponent again.

Zhang Mengcheng can feel that Cai Zhongguang's state is better adjusted now, and the next battle is likely to be faster, and this time the fight is not easy. However, the opponent has not yet caught the habit of his own knife technique, and he has already seen several attacks of the opponent. So if you take advantage of this advantage, the next encounter will not be without a chance to teach the other party a lesson.

Zhang Mengcheng, who was holding a wooden saber, was thinking about the next battle, and Cai Zhongguang on the opposite side was not idle. He found that Zhang Mengcheng may be because of the knife skills he learned from his eldest brother (Cai Zhongming), this Jinding Mountain talent has some habits that his eldest brother will also show, Cai Zhongguang feels that the other party's flaws are not impossible to catch.

The duo's analysis of their opponent didn't last long, and when the gong sounded again, the two charged at each other once again. Although the battle between the sabre cavalry and the lancers ended in an instant, the level of their performance amazed those who knew it.

Although not all of the people around them could see the inner doorway, they still unanimously expressed their admiration, because Jin Dingshan's show was indeed outstanding.

Although the two sides were unable to inflict any effective attacks on their opponents in this round, the two men were evenly matched in terms of results. But Cai Zhongguang's helmet was knocked away by Zhang Mengcheng's saber, and it was accurately used to hit rather than chop. This proves that Zhang Mengcheng could have won, but the result of this battle was completely deliberate.

found that the Xiucai in the school field was quite temperamental, and the people around him who were doing good things kept coaxing. And Cai Zhongguang, who was humiliated, was a little angry, and his mentality was not as calm as before.

At this time, someone walked into the arena and picked up Cai Zhongguang's helmet, and began to try to break the crooked flag on the helmet. Cai Zhongguang didn't want to waste this time, he directly took it and put it back on, and then asked the referee to immediately announce the resumption of the competition. The unhappiness shown by Cai Zhongguang in this process has been noticed by Zhang Mengcheng.

When the gong sounded for the fourth time, Cai Zhongguang glared and rushed towards Xiucai of Jinding Mountain with a gun in one hand. Zhang Mengcheng also held the saber flat, and faced the whirlwind team at the top of Artemisia.

The horses on both sides were getting closer and closer, and when the tip of Cai Zhongguang's line gun entered the range of Zhang Mengcheng's saber. Zhang Mengcheng locked his wrist and decisively stabbed his saber, successfully sealing the opponent's line gun on the outside. At the same time, he slid along the barrel of the gun with his saber and stabbed Cai Zhongguang's body. After the two horses staggered in an instant, Cai Zhongguang was directly stabbed off the horse by Zhang Mengcheng.

Although he was protected by armor, Cai Zhongguang was still a little angry by this stabbing blow. The damage he caused to Zhang Mengcheng before was now returned by Zhang Mengcheng as it was. Cai Zhongde, who thought that there was no need to continue the competition, directly stopped the competition, and finally announced Zhang Mengcheng's victory in front of everyone.

The people around them also cheered loudly after seeing a wonderful competition, this time without the previous ridicule of the losers, only the praise of the two outstanding competitors.

Zhang Mengcheng got off the horse and came to Cai Zhongguang's side, and said sincerely: "I'm really sorry, I don't have a serious shot, how do you feel?" ”

"You are really good at grabbing a pen, and your ability to sabre is really good, my wind chasing team is convinced this time. Si, it hurts, it really fucking hurts. The right shoulder that you slashed hurts, and the place where you stab hurts even more. Needless to say, I'll have to find some medicine and wine to wipe it, or it will really swell. ”

Cai Zhongguang has the quality that most men in northern Shaanxi have, that is, he is quite bold. The things on the martial arts field are solved on the martial arts field, and they will never be brought off the field to make stumbling blocks.

After Zhang Mengcheng helped Cai Zhongguang up, he also said appreciatively: "Your skills are not bad, this is just a competition, if it is on the battlefield against the enemy, I will probably not be able to beat you between life and death." Also, give me some medicine, hey, those shots you used are very powerful, and I am in a terrible pain now. ”

Cai Zhongguang smiled and was obviously very useful to Xiucai's words, so he planned to find a place to chat with his opponent. But after glancing at the corner of his eye, he crooked his mouth and laughed: "I'm afraid that my medicinal wine is not enough for you to share, you have to rub the medicine." Turn around and find someone else. ”

As soon as Cai Zhongguang finished speaking, it was as if he had accidentally taken it to an injured place. In pain, he took another heavy breath of cold air, but then he didn't care, and left laughing.

And after Zhang Mengcheng finished listening to his words, he turned around and saw a thin figure flashing quickly. Looking at the back of the deserted fleeing not far away, the corners of Zhang Mengcheng's mouth couldn't help but curl.
