The first selection tournament has officially begun!

Guan Maoyin stared at me with a smile, and did not come up and attack as I thought, but slowly circled around me, and the wooden sword in his hand was also playing with sword flowers at will. Although my right shoulder has healed, there is still a problem with the force, so I can only focus on defense, so I will follow him for the time being, so as not to change everything.

Guan Mao chose a double sword, which was clearly to bully me with limited offensive ability, and even the shield was not rare. The power of the sword is more in the stab, and the double sword is also easier to pierce the shield's defense than the double sword. It seems that he is a smart man.

It's a pity that smart people are always easily delayed by their own cleverness. I also temporarily changed my weapon, since my right hand was not able to split the sword, I also changed it to a sword, and the stabbing in the swordsmanship does not need to spend too much strength, and it is more important to pay attention to accuracy and suddenness.

Guan Mao turned around twice, and seemed to see my tactical plan. But he was still full of confidence and immediately attacked me.

"Tuk!"

"Smack!"

"Tuk!"

The wooden swords and shields made a continuous tapping sound for a short time, appearing dull and intense. Guan Mao's swordsmanship was really good, and under a round of rapid attack, my left hand single shield was a little difficult, and I had to use even the wooden sword in my right hand to strengthen my defense.

Although I had the heart to fight back, I couldn't find a good opportunity. Or rather, I've been suppressed by his fast sword, and it's really hard to free my hands to fight back.

I couldn't help but be secretly frightened: "This guy is inconspicuous in Zuoqiu City, I can't imagine that his strength is hidden so deeply." Moreover, it is incredible that such a talented Qiu family is willing to let him go! ”

However, when I was in the Black Tiger Regiment, I had been working as a sparring partner for Yang Yi. Yang Yi is using dual swords, and it is a sword technique as fast as a whirlwind, and I will definitely not be unfamiliar with the opponent who uses dual swords. Guan Mao's swordsmanship is still a little less interesting than Yang Yilai, and it is estimated that the dual swords are not his main weapons, but they are only temporarily changed to restrain me. So, even though I was very passive after the opening, I was confident in my heart.

After Guan Mao attacked for a while, seeing that he really couldn't defeat me in one go, he slowed down his pace a little and allowed himself to take a breath. After all, offense takes a lot more physical effort than defense, and it's hard to last. As soon as I looked, hey, the opportunity for a counteroffensive has come!

The sullen breath that I had been holding for a long time was finally about to explode, and I keenly seized the opportunity for Guan Mao to retreat and chase after me. Guan Mao didn't seem to expect me to dare to counterattack at all, and he was a little hurried for a while.

I first followed the usual routine, using the wooden sword in my hand with the usual knife technique, and slashed and slashed for a few rounds. Of course, such an attack would not be able to break Guan Mao's defense, and the main thing was to continue to paralyze his thoughts, making him think that I would only be able to use swordsmanship and not swordsmanship.

After a short period of passivity, Guan Mao quickly adjusted his tactics and was roughly tied with me. He may have sensed that the force of my wooden sword was not strong enough, and he "confirmed" his previous judgment of the injury to my right shoulder, and that smug smile appeared on his face again.

"The donkey is poor! How long can I see if you can hold out? He sneered.

I also sneered at each other and smiled: "You laughed too early, I will have more!" ”

After that, the moves in my hand suddenly changed, and became a very pure swordsmanship, no longer slashing vigorously, but mainly stabbing and picking. This swordsmanship was also learned from Xiao Tuan when he was in the Black Tiger Regiment, although he was not too good at it, but there were many interconnections between swordsmanship and swordsmanship, and it was very fast to learn.

This change of move was completely unexpected by Guan Mao, his dual swords were originally intended to attack, and now they are forced to defend against my strong attack, and the effect will inevitably be greatly reduced. And if I use a combination of sword and shield against Guan Mao's double sword combination, it must be more reasonable and balanced. Therefore, even if my swordsmanship is not as good as his, I can have a slight advantage.

However, I still have a lot of tricks in my hands!

If the weapon used by ordinary people is a combination of a sword and a shield, it is natural to use the shield to defend and the sword to attack. But my biggest problem now is that my right hand is weak and my swordsmanship is rusty, but the shield in my left hand has already become extremely proficient. In light of this particular situation, I had the wit to do the opposite, using my right-handed sword only to lure and harass the enemy, and the real focus of my attack was on my left-hand shield.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

The continuous and powerful violent impact of my left shield made Guan Mao very embarrassed. He had to beware of the sneak attack of my right-handed sword, and he had to use his weak defensive double sword to resist my unreasonable shield swing and smash, and his feet were suddenly in chaos. And after fighting, Guan Mao has no way to retreat, and if he retreats, he will be squeezed out of the border by me.

The venue of this trial was different from that of the gladiatorial arena, there were no guardrails, only a large circle was hastily drawn as a border, and it was also stipulated that if both feet stepped outside the boundary, it would be judged a loss. At this time, one of Guan Mao's feet stepped on the boundary line, and the other foot remained in the boundary, precarious.

Guan Mao was finally in a hurry, if he didn't think of a way, this selection match would be lost!

"Drink!"

Sure enough, he was forced to take the plunge, giving up his defense altogether, shouting at the sword in tandem to force me to back off, while also moving to my right in an attempt to get out of my awkward position.

But it's a pity that Guan Mao made a mistake again. If you want to say that it is better than attacking with attack, and how can he compare with me with a deadly style of play? Hehe, I'm the one who even dares to fight for my life with the boss of the bear!

I didn't retreat, I leaned over and hid my head behind the shield so that my vital parts were effectively covered. Guan Mao's twin swords, one blocked by my shield, and the other stabbed me in the thigh. But this is just a wooden sword, and a stab will hurt for a while at most, and it won't be lame.

"Humph!"

"Bang!"

I unreasonably raised my shield and slammed it over, pushing Guan Mao out of the boundary. One of my feet couldn't contain the momentum and stepped out of the circle, but I had another foot behind me, which wasn't out of bounds.

"It's over!" Shi Chang, who served as the referee, immediately shouted, "No. 2 fouls out of bounds, No. 1 wins!" ”

Guan Mao stood stupidly outside the circle, his face was cloudy for a while and yang for a while, and he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of many officers if he wanted to attack. Annoyed, he threw down his two wooden swords and went straight to the field.

But I endured the pain in my thigh, stood firm and saluted him with a fist, and said in a deep voice: "Accept!" ”

Regardless of his attitude towards me, I still have to behave after the game. When the recruits and veterans who were watching saw this, they also applauded me and cheered for me. There are recruits from Zuoqiu City who know my name and are still communicating in private:

"Look, the backstabber really won!"

"Of course, I'll just say that there is no suspense in this game!"

"I just can't imagine that the backstabber's style of play is so savage, this tactic is almost like playing sumo!"

"Just kidding, they're famous gladiators! He came to participate in this kind of tryout, and he didn't have to play like a joke? ”

"Alas, it's a pity that no one opened this game, otherwise I would definitely bet on him to win!"

However, the officers seem to have a different opinion on this. In particular, the five yin generals sitting in the front row pointed at me and Guan Mao, and also commented on the game that had just ended. Many of them looked down on me, and when they commented, they were very loud, and they were not afraid of me hearing them.

An officer said, "It's a pity for this second recruit." His swordsmanship at the beginning was quite brilliant, and I thought he would have a better chance of winning. I didn't expect to be pushed out of the realm by the No. 1 recruit with such unreasonable tactics! ”

The other nodded in agreement, "That's right." In terms of swordsmanship, No. 1 is definitely not as good as No. 2, and the two sides can be said to have a half-court advantage. If you want to say where No. 1 won, it can only be said that he made reasonable use of the rules and won just by squeezing the opponent out of the boundary. ”

"Well, I think so too." The third person also expressed a similar opinion, "But the Yin Army is not trained to participate in this kind of competition, after all, it is to be pulled out to fight a hard battle." At that time, there will be no rules to say, and if you try to cheat, I am afraid that it will be self-defeating! ”

I listened to these words in my ears, and I only listened to them as jokes, and I laughed faintly and went down. A game is a game, so why not make good use of it if there are rules? Besides, I haven't experienced the scene of a life-and-death battle, so I naturally know what kind of tactics to use.

The most important thing is that my goal is not only for the first match, but also for the more important second final. If you give it your all in the first game, will you still have enough physical strength to cope with the second game?

Although I was stabbed in the thigh by Guan Mao, I was not really injured and did not use much physical strength. To be able to win this match at the lowest cost is already achieving my expectations. As for whether the game is good or not, hehe, I don't care!

The second match after that was played by Ma Peng, who was drawn to No. 3, played against Yao Chen, who was drawn to No. 4. This game is a real close contest, and the two sides have to go back and forth for hundreds of rounds before the winner is decided. In the end, Yao Chen, who had more physical strength, narrowly defeated Ma Peng in one move and entered the finals.

Having already finished my first match, I was able to sit on the sidelines and observe it carefully, and I also got to know the opponents I was going to face in the finals in detail.

Yao Chen used a sword and shield, while Ma Peng used a spear. The weapons of both sides have their own strengths and characteristics, which also makes this game a little more enjoyable to watch than Guan Mao's and me. But my focus is on their tactical play. Needless to say, the eliminated Ma Peng, the winning Yao Chen's sword and shield took a steady path, focusing on defense, which was similar to my style of play.

If I use a combination of swords and shields against him in the next match, it will probably be a dull battle. Although I have a slight advantage in physical strength, I will always have the problem of weakness in my right hand. It seems that I will have to change again in the next final!
