Chapter 59: Li Wei vs. Cheng Pu (2)
Cheng Pu's weapon is the Iron Spine Snake Spear, this thing looks similar to Zhang Sanye's Zhangba Snake Spear, and the length is the same, but the spear head is slightly different, and the back of the Iron Spine Snake Spear is thicker and dark black, so it is named.
Cheng Pu's iron-spine snake spear is made of iron throughout, composed of a snake-like spearhead, a spear handle, and a spear hammer, and its snake-like spearhead is about two feet long, flattened, curved like a snake, with blades on both sides, and a murderous awe-inspiring awe.
At this time, Cheng Pu was wearing a black armor and holding an iron-spine snake spear, which was majestic on horseback, and the tip of his snake spear pointed at his opponent Li Dao, and a murderous aura overflowed slightly, surging towards Li Dao.
If you compare the weapons and equipment of the two, Li Dao has a slight advantage, his gold-topped jujube lance is three meters and five meters long, while Cheng Pu's iron spine snake spear is less than two meters and six meters long, and the difference between the two weapons is almost one meter, there is a saying that "one inch is long and one inch is strong", this sentence is even more obvious when fighting on horses between knights.
When the two sides fight on horses galloping fast, the longer length of the weapon means that your weapon can attack the opponent faster and more effectively, and the longer weapon is easier to take the lead and gain an advantage.
Those who like to play Go should know how important the first move is to win or lose, and the same is true in horse battles, as the saying goes, the first move is stronger, and the last move suffers.
Li Dao and Cheng Pu are both henchmen under their respective fathers, and the two have heard of each other when they were in Xiliang and have a certain understanding of each other, but due to frequent battles and belonging to two different teams, there is almost no chance to meet.
Therefore, Li Dao has only heard of Cheng Pu, but for Cheng Pu, he has a certain understanding of Li Dao, which is due to the fact that his master Sun Jian has always been extremely hostile to Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army, Sun Jian has always wanted to kill Dong Zhuo as soon as possible, and he has not been less moved to absorb Dong Zhuo's subordinates.
Sun Jian is an ambitious person, has been unwilling to do nothing, has always wanted to do a career, about this can be seen from his life experience, in Xiliang Sun Jian instigated the coach Zhang Wen to kill Dong Zhuo, annex the public, at that time Zhang Wen can use not many generals, especially for the brave martial arts famous in the world is even less, at that time Sun Jian's martial arts in Zhang Wen's army is definitely one of the best, so once Dong Zhuo was killed by Zhang Wen, then go to Dong Zhuo's army to collect and reorganize his troops The candidate is none other than Sun Jian, After Sun Jian's army grows stronger, he may be more difficult than Dong Zhuo, and his harm to the Han Dynasty may be far greater than Dong Zhuo's. Even if this strategy failed, Zhang Wen did not kill Dong Zhuo, and later Sun Jian always had the mind of the Xiliang Army.
This time, Sun Jian raised heavy troops to besiege Luoyang, although it was a loud "rescue the Son of Heaven and help the Han Dynasty", he may not have the intention of killing Dong Zhuo, annexing his people, and then doing a big job in the troubled times.
Since Sun Jian has always been thinking of absorbing the Xiliang Army, will he have less understanding of the generals of the Xiliang Army and the collection of intelligence?
Cheng Pu learned a lot of news from Sun Jian about the generals under Dong Zhuo's command, and he was also a fierce general and a brave person, so after seeing that it was Li Dao who fought in the battle array, he was not surprised, but he was proud of his courage and felt that he was sure that he could defeat Li Dao.
This point, as Dong Shouye and the generals under his command, did not expect this.
It is said that Li Dao and Cheng Pu each put on some murderous, very ecstatic, and very contrived postures on their mounts, and then they began to look at each other, comparing the murderous aura in their eyes.
If the eyes could kill, the current scene should be full of flesh and blood flying in the sky, like colorful blood flowers, gorgeous and weird.
This kind of thing is also quite tiring to do, Li Dao and Cheng Pu finally did not want to continue to be silent in this quiet and solemn atmosphere, so they coincidentally clamped their feet, and controlled the mounts under Zhan Yi began to step and accelerate towards each other.
The first intimate encounter between the golden-topped jujube lance and the iron-spine snake spear occurred at a distance of half the body of the horses on both sides.
The first round of the battle happened quickly and quickly came to a close, and the confident Cheng Pu originally thought that the opponent's weapon was very long, but at the moment when the weapons of the two sides came into contact, Cheng Pu found that the opponent's weapon was longer than he thought, and the gap between the length of three meters and five meters and his own weapon was far more than one meter.
Cheng Pu was caught off guard and found that this length meant that when his strength was not at its best, the opponent's attack had already reached his front, and he had to make a move to resist in advance, and the move at this time was not completely completed at all.
The strength and martial arts of the two may be comparable, or there may be a slight difference, but in general, the gap should not be large, but due to the advantage of weapons, Li Wei's attack caught Cheng Pu a little off guard, and he suffered a little loss.
Cheng Pu is also extremely brave, and when he encounters a strong opponent, he does not have half a point of cowardice, but stimulates his aggressive ferocity and becomes more and more courageous. The loss in the first round did not make Cheng Pu back down, but instead moved forward more courageously.
The two will be separated at the touch of a button, without the slightest drag of mud and water. After turning the horse's head, he rushed back to the other side. With the experience of the first round, Cheng Pu was more cautious.
At this time, Li Dao also put away his contempt for the other party, of course, he knew quite well about his own weapons, originally Li Dao felt that the other party despised him a little, so the first move was a fatal lance, but he didn't expect the other party to be very clever, and he avoided the truth and resolved his tricks.
Don't be discouraged at the moment, the battlefield fight will be about the faces of the warring parties, and those who don't have a few brushes won't have their turn to play. Since he has some ability, the other party is naturally not mediocre.
After turning the horse's head, Li Dao rushed to the other party again. When the two horses intersected, Li Dao wielded a heavy stab with the gold-topped jujube yang lance, stabbing at the other party's chest, Cheng Pu had just suffered a little dark loss, this time he was more careful, both hands crossed the iron spine snake spear to Li Dao's big lance, and then swung hard, swinging away the big lance, and then carried the snake spear in the backhand, and killed Li Dao's left shoulder, Li Dao was just about to transport the big lance to resist, Cheng Pu and suddenly changed his move in mid-air, turning the original snake spear's killing momentum into a provocation, wanting to hit Li Dao's throat.
The two fought, and in the blink of an eye, it was a life-and-death fight, without mercy.
In the end, Li Dao is a general who has experienced life and death on the battlefield of Xiliang for a long time and has grown up by crawling and rolling, and there is such a bloodthirsty ruthlessness in his chest.
Li Wei saw that Cheng Pu made a false move, wanting to take his life in an instant, and the ruthlessness in his heart completely exploded at the moment, and he immediately didn't care about the snake spear in Cheng Pu's hand that was going to his throat, but instead carried a big lance to the other party's neck, wanting to die with the other party.
