(Thanks to the Great Alliance!) Thank you Zhao Wuxian 2014, UFGW, Void Cloud Feather, Buddha is gone, Ethereal vs, Xue Yuntao, Yun Ao with the wind)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the 17th of July, it rained lightly in the morning, but the summer clouds and rain came and went, just to dispel the heat and cool off for the upcoming duel.
That's right, the duel between the great general Ma Han and the little overlord Sun Ce is today.
Early in the morning, at the foot of Bagong Mountain, on the banks of the river, thousands of soldiers were crowded. The Dragon Wolf Navy and the Sun Wu Navy even sailed dozens of boats, allowing the soldiers on the shore who had nowhere to stay to board the ships to watch the battle. In addition to the soldiers of the three parties, even the residents of Shouchun and the villagers of the nearby Yiting also helped the old and the young to come to see such a grand event.
General, that's a royal relative, it's not something you can see if you want to see it, it's a rare opportunity.
Bustling, crowded, flags waving, drums bursting, constituting a blazing and noisy picture.
At three o'clock, Sun Ce appeared first, but saw him wearing a helmet and armor, wearing a big collar, and under the escort of many subordinates, he appeared on the east bank of the river. This land is relatively flat, and it has just been ordered by hundreds of servants to pull out weeds and re-trim them, and there are guardrails on both sides, which looks decent.
The soldiers and civilians on both sides of the strait cheered in unison, and Sun Ce rode his horse and galloped, constantly waving his halberd to the onlookers, in exchange for bursts of applause. And Sun Wujun beat the war drums, cheering, drums, human voices, resounding in the sky, so lively.
Sun Ce went back and forth three times to show off his martial arts, and after warming up, he slowly galloped back to his own formation. As soon as he threw the stirrup and got off the horse, he saw Zhou Yu leading two people forward, one was Cao Cao's middle son Cao Pi. The other person did not know.
After Cao Pi and the man stepped forward to greet him, Sun Ce knew that the man was a military medical worker.
Why did Cao Pi bring a medical worker to see him, Sun Ce understood after thinking about it, and said in a deep voice: "Captain Xu's injury ......"
Xu Chu was placed in an ox cart and transported out of Shouchun, and not many people know about this matter. Sun Ce didn't know either, but just last night, Cao Cao sent Han Hao to visit him overnight and tell him what had happened, and Sun Ce knew. It was a shock. And the generals of Jiangdong were all present, and they were also puzzled about Xu Chu's injury. Looking at Cao Pi's appearance at this moment, there should be some progress.
Cao Pi nodded, and said to the medical worker: "You can come to Wucheng Hou carefully." ”
The medical worker responded again and again, with a little horror on his face: "Captain Xu was injured on the back of his right shoulder, and the wound ...... The villain healed the wounds in the army, no less than a thousand cases, and never saw such a neat and sharp incision. I can't imagine what can cut the skin and crack the muscle, so that the recipient is unaware. ”
The medical worker said this, and swallowed hard. His throat rolled up and down, and his voice trembled: "This is not what a human weapon can do......"
"Shut up!" Cao Pi reprimanded in a low voice, "What knowledge do you have, a medical craftsman? How many weapons do you know about the world's divine weapons? ”
Medical workers are the only ones. Don't dare to talk back.
Sun Ce clenched his fists. Zhou Yu's face was solemn.
After a while, the medical worker continued to report Xu Chu's injury: "...... Half a foot of wound, tearing muscle and tendons. The bones are visible deeply, and the blood is lost. According to the villain's view, this trauma is all Captain Xu's self-injury......"
Zhou Yu frowned: "What kind of self-injury, make it clear." ”
The medical worker explained: "It should be an unusual sharp weapon, cutting the skin and flesh on the shoulders and back of Captain Xu, not deep, only half an inch. Because it was too sharp, and Captain Xu was too focused, he didn't realize it. When Captain Xu suddenly exerted his strength, the wound burst and tore vigorously, turning the original flesh injury into a heavy blow. ”
Zhou Yu suddenly said: "Fang Cai Zihuan seems to have said that Ma Jinglong once patted Captain Xu's shoulder?" ”
Cao Pi shook his head resolutely: "Pi has been paying attention to his movements at that time, and he doesn't have anything in his hands - well, definitely not." ”
What's going on here? Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were in deep thought, because next, it would be them who would face this terrible opponent. If you don't figure it out, you won't feel at ease.
At this time, the medical worker also came: "When the villain was treating Xu Xiaowei, Xu Xiaowei was hot and ......"
Zhou Yu asked urgently: "What do you say?" ”
The medical worker showed a look of horror on his face, and said in a trembling voice: "He said 'magic bow, magic spell, damnation'......"
"Shut up!" Cao Pi pressed his sword in anger, eager to behead this mouthy and tongue-in-cheek medical worker.
Sun Ce sank his face: "There is a curse on the magic bow?" ”
Cao Pi hurriedly said: "Isn't this a high fever, isn't it a foolish thing, it shouldn't be true...... Don't really ......" the second child of the Cao family, who is sensitive, is also more and more empty at the moment, the scene of the day, he saw it with his own eyes, even he can't convince himself, how can he expect to convince others?
At this moment, a thunderous cheer broke out in the distance, and the green, yellow, red, and white, all kinds of tooth flags were blown by the river wind. The most eye-catching is the red dragon and the white wolf.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu glanced at each other.
He's coming.
When the horse warrior appeared, everyone was amazed that the general was not wearing a helmet or armor, but a hunting suit - that is, wearing only a thin single coat and a red scarf on his head.
The audience was amazed, so big, really worthy of being a general.
When Zhou Yu saw it, he immediately said to Sun Ce: "Ma Jinglong wants to use a bow and arrow to attack from afar, Bo Fu, you only have one chance." ”
Sun Ce nodded heavily: "I know, regardless of a qiē, get close." ”
Ma Gang rode the red rabbit to the middle of the field, and did not circle like Sun Ce, but raised the blood bow. The bow reflects the morning sun, and the red blood is like a flame, like boiling blood...... Everyone who witnessed it couldn't help but hold their breath. Then, the sky-shattering cheers almost turned the water back.
Cao Cao was also on the boat on the riverbank, looking at the fiery red horse and the flaming blood bow from afar, his lips were tightly pursed, he didn't say a word, and his face was gloomy. Behind him, none of the civil and military generals dared to speak up. The plot failed, and a general was broken, and a treasure knife was lost, a typical stealing of chickens and rice, no one dared to touch the lord's mold.
However, someone is about to touch Cao Cao's moldy head. Who? Gao Shun.
I saw that among the accompanying generals behind Ma Han, Gao Shun was ranked after Guo Jia and Xun You, with a solemn expression, holding the seven-star treasure sword. The scabbard is tied with white hemp strips, swinging rapidly in the wind, which is extremely conspicuous, and obviously has the meaning of sacrifice.
Finally, someone spoke. Cao Cao's most relied on the general of the family, Xiahou Yuan'anwei, said: "Meng De is not worried, Ma Jinglong will never dare to kill Sun Bofu." ”
Yes, at this time, I want to ask Cao Cao what he is most worried about, and that is Sun Ce. This is the most powerful ally that Cao Cao can unite at the moment, if Sun Ce has a good one, the alliance will immediately fall apart, and Liu Bei and the wavering Liu Biao alone will not be able to compete with the powerful horseman.
Cao Cao believes that Ma Han also understands the key to this. The more this happened, the more worried he became.
It's just that at this time it is useless to worry, because, the duel has begun.
Ma Han and Sun Ce dismounted from each other, approached, and toasted each other.
Sun Ce: "The general, the duelist, will definitely go with all his might." The general does not wear armor......"
Ma Han: "Even if Bo Fu lets the horse come, if you can get ten steps close to me, you will win." ”
This breath, not only the little overlord can't bear it. Even if it is a big overlord buried in the soil, if he hears it, he will blow up his body.
Returning to the main formation, Sun Ce relieved his commander, turned over and rode on a war horse that was also heavily armored. He took the halberd from the servant. Zhou Yu personally put a fine iron riding shield on his brother-in-law's left arm, and repeatedly advised: "Regardless of the rest, rush at full speed." Close-fitting can have a chance to win. ”
Sun Ce sneered: "Ma Jinglong may be unparalleled in riding and shooting, but my Sun Ce's flying halberd is not vegetarian. Why 10 steps? Why do you need a fit? Thirty steps, and I will take his life. ”
"Bo Fu." Zhou Yu frowned and said, "Ma Jinglong will not kill you, and in the same way, you must not kill Ma Jinglong." We can't afford the wrath of the Dragon Wolf Army. ”
Sun Ce took a deep breath and spit out heavily: "Ce, understand." ”
Sun Ce's purpose of single-handedly picking up Ma Han is actually the same as Cao Cao, that is, to make Ma Han unable to get up, so as to resolve the Jiangdong crisis. It is true that people cannot be killed, only injured.
Whether it is Ma Han, Sun Ce, or Cao Cao, they all just want to defeat their opponents and kill their opponents in order to achieve their respective goals.
Knock knock, drums rushed, 10,000 people held their breath, and the duel began.
As soon as the drum stopped, Sun Ce grabbed the horse's belly violently, galloped like an arrow, and rushed towards the horse a hundred paces away.
The horse is lightly knocked on his feet, and the red rabbit horse is brisk, trotting slowly. At the same time, Ma Han had drawn out a spiral armor-piercing heavy arrow.
The horses did not wear armor, of course, not to support the large, but to reduce the burden on the men and horses, and to make the body more flexible and shoot more accurately. He didn't plan to fight Sun Ce in close quarters at all, because the moment of life and death in the cavalry battle was ruthless, and no one dared to leave his hand. The only way to achieve the result of wounding but not killing is to use the most controlled bow and arrow.
As soon as the arrow is wound, there is almost no movement to raise the arm, aim, or open the bow - to be precise, these movements are done in the blink of an eye, so that one thinks it is a phantom.
The next moment, a thrilling sound of breaking the air sounded, and the arrows were off the string, unspeakably fast.
Sun Ce has been paying attention to Ma Hao's bow and arrows, and the shadow of the magic bow and magic spell has been weighing heavily on his heart. At this moment, Sun Ce is not an exaggeration to say that he is a frightened bird. Almost as soon as the whistling sound, he reacted reflexively - raising his shield to block.
I have to say that Sun Ce has good eyesight, quick reaction, and quick skills, and he succeeded.
While! The upper right edge of the shield blocks the armor-piercing arrows.
If the arrow were shot by someone else—even if it was Gan Ning or even Lu Bu rising—the arrow would only be bounced off or stuck in the surface of the iron shield.
But it was Ma Han who shot this arrow, the most violent archer of the Three Kingdoms.
Syllable! A gap exploded on the upper right edge of the iron shield, and the shattered sharp iron pieces splashed everywhere, sneering at Sun Ce's right cheek, which was closest to the location where the iron shield exploded.
The skin turned over the meat roll, the blood was dripping, and even a puff of blood splashed into Sun Ce's right eye, making his eyeballs become bloody all of a sudden, and his appearance was indescribably weird and terrifying.
One arrow, just one arrow, the big handsome pot becomes a demon.
Tens of thousands of spectators, their heart cavities shrank suddenly, at least half of them screamed, and they all reached out to cover them, so that in the sky above both sides of the river, they converged into a strange strange sound that stopped abruptly.
Ma Han lowered his bloody bow and did not shoot a second arrow, because his purpose was achieved.
His arrow was originally aimed at Sun Ce's cheek. Although it was deflected by the iron shield and passed by, the iron piece that was fired unexpectedly achieved its goal.
This duel, he won.
But soon, Ma Han frowned, because Sun Ce did not stop, and still rode and sprinted.
Maham's slender fingers ran over the quiver and pulled out a chisel arrow—yes, a shovel-shaped arrow with a blade half a palm's width.
Boom - another arrow was fired, faster and faster.
This time, Sun Ce didn't have time to pass at all, because the arrows didn't shoot people, but horses.
Scrape! Scrape!
The sharp blade of the arrow pierced under the horse's belly, shoveling two bloody legs.
Rumble! In the mournful roar of the war horse, Sun Ce fell and rolled from the horse, the iron shield fell, the halberd took off, and he didn't even know where the helmet was thrown.
Sun Ce struggled to get up, pulled out his halberd, and pounced frantically. At this moment, the handsome Jiangdong Sun Lang has turned into a mad demon with a disheveled head, half of his face is red, covered in blood and mud, like a madness.
Ma Hule stopped fighting the horse, his eyes were like ice, and he calmly stretched out two fingers and held down the white feather.
Thirty steps, Sun Ce waved his hand and threw his halberd hard.
At the same moment, Ma Han shot a third arrow, the fastest wolf's tooth light arrow.
Zheng! A spark flashed in mid-air, the arrows collided, and the powerful arrows flew out more than twenty steps, nailing them to the stake on the right guardrail, scaring the onlookers who were close at hand into a screaming and commotion.
Ma Han's fingers pressed on the quiver again, and his eyes were fixed on Sun Ce's legs, if the opponent dared to step within ten steps, he would nail the opponent to the ground.
Twenty steps, fifteen steps, thirteen steps......
Eventually, Sun Ce stopped ten steps away.
The four eyes looked at each other, speechless.
Anyone could see that if Ma Han wanted to kill Sun Ce, all he needed was an arrow, but he didn't do it.
"Bo Fu-" was Zhou Yu's pathetic voice.
Maybe it was the call of the righteous brother, or maybe it was finally facing the reality, the crazy look in Sun Ce's blood-red eyes slowly calmed down, and he bowed to Ma Han: "I lost." He turned around and staggered away, and at this time, a large number of Jiangdong generals and servants suddenly came up to meet him.
When Sun Ce walked through the crowd, he suddenly stretched out his hand to Ling Tong in the crowd and said, "From now on, don't mention the matter of father's enmity again." Don't let my blood drain, can you? ”
Ling Tong burst into tears and knelt down and kowtowed.
After the duel ended, Ma Han hurriedly returned to Shouchun Palace, threw the blood bow into Asu's arms, and the first sentence of the split was: "Summoning Tai Shici, Sun Ce is dead, Wu County will be in chaos, grab the beach and land, start!" (To be continued......)
