Chapter 22 Martial Arts Competition
Chen Hong waited for this sentence, and then said: "Then please ask Brother Zhou to make a move at will, and the surname Chen will take over." ”
Cheng Yue obviously saw on the side that the two of them were going to compete with a desperate attitude, and it would be disadvantageous for any of them to be injured, after all, they had less strength to deal with thieves, and they were less sure of dealing with thieves, so he said: "It's just a martial arts competition, and you can't hurt the harmony." ”
Zhou Hao said: "Brother Cheng's kindness, I know, since Brother Chen Hong is kindly invited, if I still refuse, then it is my mistake, and I will not be rude." ”
Cheng Yue knew that Zhou Hao couldn't get off the stage in front of the army, and he didn't say anything anymore.
Chen Hong said in front of the army: "Today I am competing with Brother Zhou, if Brother Zhou injures or kills me, I am not allowed to complain about Brother Zhou, even if the surname Chen is not as good as others." ”
The soldiers below who belonged to Chen Hong sang in unison: "General Chen will win." ”
Zhou Hao knew very well in his heart, knowing that this was said to himself, and the opponent was obviously ruthless when he made a move, so he sneered at the moment and said: "Brother Chen, although he let the horse come, Zhou Hao will accompany him to the end." ”
The whole venue was silent, and it seemed that even the sound of embroidery needles hitting the ground could be heard.
Chen Hong took the green steel sword from the soldier's hand, hugged Zhou Hao and said, "Please!" ”
As a modern special soldier, Zhou Hao knows a lot about all kinds of weapons, but the most convenient use is the gun, if you compare the gun, Zhou Hao is absolutely the first, but at this time he had to take out a knife, although he also knows the way of the sword, but after all, he has rarely used it.
As soon as Zhou Hao said the word "please", the sword stabbed in the chest like blue light.
Zhou Hao was shocked, his right leg stepped back, his upper body slanted downward, almost parallel to the ground, and the sword passed by slightly, but it was only an inch away from the flesh, a little slower, and his chest was very likely to be pierced by the sword.
Chen Hong stabbed the air with a sword, his body lost his balance, his front body fell forward, Zhou Hao used his right leg as the fulcrum, and his left leg swept towards Chen Hong's lower plate.
Chen Hong felt a strong wind rushing towards him, secretly screaming that it was not good, and his right hand supported the ground with a sword, and he rose into the air.
The sword body was bent into an arc, Chen Hong stood in the air, and with a "skillful kick of the golden lamp", his right leg kicked towards Zhou Hao's face.
Zhou Hao's body slammed down, almost touching the ground, his legs passed over his head, and Zhou Hao slashed at Chen Hong's sword-holding right hand with a knife.
Chen Hong only felt that the knife was full of flesh, and suddenly saw that Zhou Hao's long knife was only a few inches away from his right hand, and subconsciously threw off the long sword.
The long sword was taken off, and Chen Hong used the support of the sword to volley a few heels.
Zhou Hao stood up, and suddenly felt a strong wind blowing in his face, and he heard a warrior say: "Be careful!" ”
Chen Hong was in mid-air, and a golden rope rolled up in the wind and rolled straight towards Zhou Hao's door.
Zhou Hao was startled and flashed sideways.
It turned out that after Chen Hongjian took off his hand, he took out a golden silk rattan snake stick from his waist, and attacked it while Zhou Hao was slightly happy to cut off his long sword.
Chen Hong walked the rivers and lakes in his early years, he practiced the stick method before, and later practiced the sword, but the swordsmanship is extremely difficult, not easy to refine, he is to coil a golden silk rattan snake stick that he has practiced very well on his waist, and when he encounters an enemy weaker than himself, he will use a sword to kill, and if he encounters a strong enemy, he will pull out the golden silk rattan snake stick on his waist. At first, Chen Hong felt that Zhou Hao was just in vain, and at most he couldn't make a few moves under his sword, but he didn't expect the long sword to get out of his hand after a few moves, so he used the stick method to make the most ruthless moves, aiming to kill the enemy with one move.
Zhou Hao was overjoyed when he saw Chen Hong's stick method at this moment, and he knew that his choice of stick method was no less than Chen Hong's.
As soon as Chen Hong landed, the golden silk rattan snake rod shook straight in the wind and rushed towards Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao pounced on the snake stick instead, and the rest of the people were shocked, could it be that they didn't want to die.
The long knife was cut down along the golden silk rattan snake stick, Chen Hong was shocked, if he hesitated for a moment, his hand was cut off by the knife, and the snake stick was scattered, and Zhou Hao's long knife was provoked and put on Chen Hong's neck.
Chen Hong's face was pale and he didn't say a word.
Zhou Hao originally wanted to kill him with a knife, knowing that other soldiers in the army would be jealous of him, and it would be difficult for him to gain a firm foothold in the army in the future, and it would not be conducive to his future development.
At that moment, the long knife was taken and said, "Brother Chen has offended, and he is just a fluke victory, which is not enough." ”
Cheng Yue hurriedly came over to play the round: "The two of them have their own merits, Brother Chen is superb in his sword, and Brother Zhou is better in speed and accuracy. ”
Wei Qingshu and Qian San wanted to humiliate Zhou Hao in public, so as to frustrate his prestige in the army, so they also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey at this moment, and said: "Brother Zhou's martial arts skills are exquisite, which is really a great blessing in our army." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Hao was also polite.
Everyone is talking, suddenly far away from the street on the street with a rapid sound of horses' hooves, the street is paved with bluestone, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the general army rode horses to beat the steel horses' hooves, in order to protect the horse's hooves for long-term walking, it is the old horse from the street to walk, the sound is very clear.
Cheng Yue said: "Which army is passing by?" After a while, hearing the noise of the people in the inn, Cheng Yue looked at the crowd and signaled to go out to have a look, only to see dozens of horses in the courtyard, all dressed in placket warrior uniforms, and when they saw Cheng Yue coming out of the courtyard, they turned over and dismounted, walked forward, and hugged Cheng Yue and said: "Cheng Zongbing, don't come unharmed." ”
Cheng Yue originally thought that it was a thief army who came to rob the salt, but when he saw that it was a friendly army, he was relieved at the moment and stepped forward and said, "It turned out to be General Wu Bing." Suddenly, I saw a person crawling on the back of the horse behind him, it seemed that he was obviously seriously injured, and blood stains oozed from his white coat, and he was shocked, and said, "Chief soldier Wu, who is this?" ”
General Wu turned over and dismounted, slowly picked up the injured man lying on horseback, and then said, "Is there any medicine here to cure the wound?" ”
In the Ming Dynasty, whether it was the army or the people who went to the rivers and lakes, they were generally equipped with healing drugs, such as white medicine for knife wounds, etc., because these people generally lived a life of licking blood with a knife, and there would be casualties at any time, and the medicine was brought on the body for easy treatment.
Cheng Yue said: "There is Yunnan Baiyao for the treatment of knife wounds, which is prepared by Master Baiyun, a famous pharmacist in Yunnan and Myanmar. ”
Several men dismounted from their horses and carried the wounded man into the house, and the wounded guest let out a cry of pain from time to time, apparently in extreme pain.
At this time, Chen Hong, Wei Qingshu and Qian San and other three lieutenant colonels came over to greet General Wu, and from the tone of voice, it was obvious that they all knew each other.
Cheng Yue pointed to General Wu and said to Zhou Hao: "This is General Wu Xiong under the command of Liu Zeqing and General Liu. Cheng Bing pointed at Zhou Hao and said to Wu Xiong: "This is my newly known brother, named Zhou Hao." ”
