Chapter 13 Martial Arts Competition
In the early morning, although there was no sound of roosters in the barracks, the perennial biological clock still made Zuo Houde get up early.
Using the method taught by Zhang Shiqian, first soak a towel, warm compress the eyes and temples, about a minute or two, clean the face, rinse the mouth with willow branches, and then Zuo Houde practiced sword in the courtyard. Although there is a competition today, I still have to practice swords, which is regarded as a warm-up.
After practicing the sword, in addition to sweating, after breakfast, I rested for a while and went to the shooting range to wait.
Zuo Houde didn't bring the long sword given by his father, and the sword was too light for sword practice, let alone a martial arts competition.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, Yan Zhong came.
"Brother Zuo, follow me to the martial arts arena to compete, yesterday I went back and told my general, he said that he wanted to see your arm strength" Yan Zhong was quite excited.
Zuo Houde was suddenly a little surprised: "You said that your school captain, you still have to see us compete." ”
"That's right, my generals love to compete with people the most, and they also love to watch people compete in martial arts," Yan Zhong said.
"But the martial arts arena behind the battalion?" Zuo Houde asked.
"That's right, that's it, it's only our personal guard and the captain there, Brother Zuo doesn't have to let go, hahaha." Yan Zhong smiled heartily again.
Zuo Houde gave him a blank look, but it's okay, Zuo Houde has never been to this martial arts arena, it is the exclusive venue of the captain and his personal guards.
"Let's go! Sixth brother, lead the way in front. ”
"Okay, you'll follow a certain family."
After a while, the two came to this martial arts arena.
Zuo Houde finally saw this, this famous place, the so-called martial arts arena is a place, similar to the ring.
Now the audience is full of people, all dressed up with Yan Zhong, and they are all personal guards.
Zuo Houde also saw Captain Luo, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "I've seen Captain Luo." ”
Luo Lie still looked expressionless, just waved his hand, "Don't be polite, compare it well, Yan Zhong praised you yesterday, saying that your arm strength is amazing." ”
"Don't dare, you must do your best." Zuo Houde hugged his fist and said yes.
Zuo Houde came to the left, and there were several guards in the audience who put on armor for him.
"Lang Jun, you have to teach Commander Yan a good lesson." As he spoke, he sorted out his armor for Zuo Houde.
The iron armor on the body still has to be worn, although it is a martial arts competition, but the sword has no eyes, and it has an extra layer of protection.
"Lang Jun, what kind of weapon do you use?" A tall guard asked.
"Brother, take me a thick-backed sword and a shield." Zuo Houde said.
After a while, the weapon was brought in, and Zuo Houde held it in his hand, which was quite appropriate.
"Was it ever suitable? Pimp! The tall guard asked again.
"Just in time." Zuo Houde waved his long sword.
Walking to the stage in this way, Yan Zhong was also dressed in iron armor, holding a short axe in each hand, and was staring at Zuo Houde with burning eyes.
Zuo Houde holds the shield in his left hand, and the long sword rotates in his right hand to adapt to the size and weight of the long sword, and at the same time moves his footwork, jumping lightly on the spot from time to time.
After a short warm-up, the two walked to the middle of the ring, and many of the guards sitting in the audience also got up and surrounded them.
Zuo Houde's body leaned forward and stood in front of him with a shield, and his right arm holding the sword was mostly covered, so that Yan Zhong could not see clearly and could not judge Zuo Houde's sword posture.
Yan Zhong was no exception, putting on a fighting posture, with his double axes leaning on his chest.
When the two slowly approached ten steps, Zuo Houde spoke: "You have to be careful, I attack extremely fast." ”
There was no fluctuation in Yan Zhong's eyes: "Come to fight!" ”
"Good!"
Zuo Houde immediately rushed straight at Yan Zhong, and Yan Zhong also moved forward, staring at Zuo Houde's footsteps on the ground.
When approaching, Yan Zhong judged that Zuo Houde's foothold suddenly accelerated and lifted the axe forward, thinking that Zuo Houde had just landed and had nowhere to borrow his strength, he would be slashed over, or dodged in embarrassment.
I don't want Zuo Houde's footwork to be faster, when he axes and chops, Zuo Houde's left foot has already landed, and his right foot kicks the ground with his left foot as the axis to move his body instantly, and after the body moves, Yan Zhong splits to the afterimage.
In front of Zuo Houde was Yan Zhong's side, which had just made a vigorous move, and the long sword in his hand stabbed out, hitting Yan Zhong's left arm with an axe.
Zuo Houde retreated as soon as he struck, Yan Zhong was stunned on the spot, annoyed and depressed, his arms holding the double axe and drooping: "I lost." ”
In actual combat, the blow just now will not be stabbed in the left arm, but in the head or neck.
This is the way Zuo Houde set yesterday, even if Zuo Houde's arm strength is stronger than Yan Zhong, but it is a fact that the sword is lighter than the axe, and it is very unfavorable to Zuo Houde to hit the axe with a sword, and Zuo Houde thought of this sword and shield skill.
In the pre-Qin period, the sword and shield fighting method was popular, and the sword and shield with flexibility, danger, and high efficiency were used to replace the contradiction.
The original intention of the development of the weapon shield technique is to hunt, to maintain the best distance from the enemy with flexible footwork, and to use simple stabbing as a means of attack. The sword and shield are close-range assassinations, and the sword and shield are close to the body to slash and win with momentum.
Zuo Houde is good at using the sword, and his own family swordsmanship is also a light route, and he is on the road of assassination. Matching with the shield, Zuo Houde is even more handy.
Yan Zhong's kung fu is to open and close, run rampant, and if he has a slight achievement, he can wear heavy armor and be wanton and horizontal.
Zuo Houde walked the art of fighting between life and death. Within the range, tossing and turning, mastering skills, you can walk alone, and I am invincible within reach.
As the so-called master makes a move, a few moves will divide the winner and loser, and the audience in the audience can see that Zuo Houde's pace is flexible and his sword is fierce.
However, Luo Lie was happy when he saw the hunt, and came to the stage to clasp his fists and said: "Lang Jun's sword and shield skills are exquisite and extraordinary, I don't know if Luo Lie can ask for a lesson or two." ”
Zuo Houde is also a sword and shield, "Dare not agree, come to fight." ”
Luo Lie instructed the left and right to put on armor for him, take a silver gun, walk into the ring, jump lightly on the spot from time to time, warm up for a while, and then walk to the middle.
"General be careful!" Zuo Houde spoke,
Luo Lie's face did not change: "Come and fight!" ”
Zuo Houde held the heavy sword in front of him and slashed towards Luo Zhen quickly!
And Luo Lie picked up the silver spear in his hand, and his momentum skyrocketed in an instant, and a fierce feeling came to his face. The iron spear, which was more than a person high, poked out like a dragon out of the sea, and the speed was unusually fast.
Zuo Houde dodged sideways, but the silver spear changed from stabbing to sweeping and smashed towards Zuo Houde!
Raising his sword and retreating, Zuo Houde blocked it with his shield in an instant, and only then did he unload the power of the gun.
Luo Lie was unforgiving, but the silver spear in his hand did not stop moving at all, piercing, stabbing, splitting, and sweeping, with unparalleled momentum.
Zuo Houde let him play, and the sword and shield in his hand were also steady and steady, allowing him to be unparalleled, but he did not move.
Finally, Zuo Houde figured out this Luo Lie's offensive, the shield sank, and he slammed forward, it was the back of the gun, the spear came out of his hand, and Luo Lie had nowhere to focus.
Zuo Houde's right hand sword stabbed out suddenly and landed on Luo Lie's chest.
Luo Lie smiled bitterly, hugged his fists and said, "Lang Jun, your strength is amazing, a certain family lost." ”
Zuo Houde hurriedly returned the salute, "Don't dare." The general's spearmanship is unparalleled, and Zuo is also a fluke. ”
"I, Yan Zhao boy, winning is winning, and losing is losing. A certain family is not a person who can't afford to lose, and in this army, he will have to be close to Lang Jun in the future. Luo Lie was also arrogant and smiling.
"In this way, thank you general, and get closer to me in the future." Zuo Houde hugged his fists.
At this time, the guards in the audience came back to their senses from the competition just now, and their general actually lost, but the army has always been respected by the strong, and they still cheered "Cai!" Color! ”
