Chapter 162: Opponents
Because the previous battles have been scheduled for a long time, in order to ensure the excitement and topicality of the final matchup, basically the most powerful gladiators will not meet prematurely.
But now Zhang Heng appeared again in the cheers of the audience, but it also brought new problems, his opponent in the next round has not yet been compared, so now the arena is also a little difficult, but then Zhang Heng said something directly to the referee, the latter looked surprised, and repeatedly asked, "Are you sure?" ”
"Of course, I'm not kidding with my life." Zhang Hengdao.
So the referee hurriedly told Zhang Heng's proposal to Kang Maode in the front row, and His Majesty the Young Emperor also had a strange look on his face when he heard this, "He really said that?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, I specifically asked him twice." The referee affirmed.
Commodus thought for a moment, "Then we should believe in him, he is a man who can always do miracles, and I think this time is no exception." ”
The young emperor gave the order, and soon, more and more people in the stands knew the opponent Zhang Heng would face in the next battle.
As a result, the audience was stunned.
Especially when they saw that Zhang Heng handed over the only weapons and the two Persian swords, they were even more shocked, and they turned their heads to each other.
Although Zhang Heng showed overwhelming strength in the previous battle, there are not many people who are optimistic about him in the next battle, because considering the opponent he will face, his advantages in fighter skill, strength, and speed will be gone, and he actually chose to meet the enemy with his bare hands.
Of course, this is just the perspective of the live audience.
For Zhang Heng, the initiator, he didn't feel that his actions were really looking for death, not to mention that he didn't have any equipment, no, he had already got the rope he named to use.
Zhang Heng first tried the strength of this rope, and then tied a knot and made a pair of rope sleeves.
Carrying the lasso, Zhang Heng also had an illusion in a trance, as if he had returned to the 19th century in the wilderness of the American West.
And immediately after that, his opponent in this battle was also released from the cage.
- This is a bison, and it is also an adult bison, with a body length of more than two meters and a weight of about a ton, no wonder the audience present is not optimistic about the result of Zhang Heng's battle, just this weight is unstoppable, and it is estimated that the bones will fall apart on the spot if they are hit.
Moreover, the bison has rough skin and thick meat, and a pair of horns are extremely hard, and the bison that are forced to rush can even fight with the lions, and there are often lions hunting bison together in herds, only to be broken by the bison and ascend to heaven on the spot, the last word is literal.
As I said before, unlike in the movie, gladiators and beast fighters in reality are two completely different professions, and under normal circumstances, the two will not swap opponents, and gladiators have honed their fighting skills to deal with people all their lives, and they don't think about how to deal with beasts, and the same is true for beast fighters, and there is almost no intersection between the two sides.
Therefore, when he heard that Zhang Heng was going to challenge the bison, the referee was stunned, especially when the latter also deliberately said that he couldn't use a sword and only needed a strong rope, the audience in the stands really couldn't imagine what else Zhang Heng could do to deal with the bison, fists and teeth?
But just when everyone was confused, the battle below had already begun.
The beast trainer poked the bison with a sharpened hard pole, making the latter irritable, and the pair of big copper bell-like eyes quickly locked on Zhang Heng not far away, and then the angry bison buried his head, showed the deadliest weapon above its head, and rushed towards Zhang Heng.
However, Zhang Heng did not throw the noose in his hand in a hurry.
He had driven many cows and dealt with many dishonest cows when he was a cowboy before, but this was the first time he had dealt with a bison of this size, and he had no horses to ride, so he had to be much more cautious.
But fortunately, the specific methods are the same, and the experience he has accumulated before can also be used. Zhang Heng didn't rush to attack because the bison had a lot of power, even if he could accurately hit the opponent's neck, it was likely that he would be the last person to be taken away.
So he chose to avoid the edge for the time being, and rolled on the spot to avoid the impact of the bison, but the bison had already recognized him, and immediately came back in a circle after missing the blow. wants to flip Zhang Heng from behind.
Seeing that the horns were only less than half a meter away from Zhang Heng's body, there was an exclamation in the stands, and Queen Christina couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and plunged into her husband's arms. Commodity's heart also chuckled, although he said that he would believe Zhang Heng, but he would also be suspicious of dealing with bison empty-handed, seeing that Zhang Heng's life was in danger, he couldn't help but suspect that Zhang Heng was going to mess up from time to time this time.
It would be a pity if this Oriental man really died here, Commodus just started to like Zhang Heng, and wanted to find a chance to chat more with the latter, and after the previous battle Zhang Heng's odds rose sharply, indicating that everyone is very optimistic about him winning this championship, if he can't get in because of the final decisive battle in Dalian, then the wonderful battle he gave before will also become a joke.
Pompeianus on the other side also shook his head and said to his wife, "Your 5,000 gold coins seem to be going down the drain, how about it, is your private money still enough, do you need me to help you put it on first?" ”
"What a sweet man." Lucyla smiled when she heard this, "But the battle isn't over yet, is it?" ”
Just between the two of them talking, Zhang Heng was like having eyes behind his back, he didn't look back and just moved half a step to the left to avoid this savage sneak attack, two sharp horns grazed his arm, and he was almost able to pierce into his flesh and blood, and then Zhang Heng made a crazy move that no one expected.
He actually took the initiative to reach out and grab a bull's horn shortly after he got rid of the clutches of death, and then lightly touched the ground with his toes, and the next moment he had already flown to the back of the bull, and the stands immediately erupted into a more enthusiastic cheer, surrounding a wonderful and dazzling scene.
However, Zhang Heng's abacus also failed, the bumps on the cow's back were very strong, so that he couldn't free his hands to lassothe cow's neck, and the bison then slyly rushed to the rope net at the edge of the arena, wanting to throw Zhang Heng inside, but fortunately, Zhang Heng also discovered its intentions, and finally reluctantly chose to jump off the back of the cow, rolled around on the ground, and avoided a round of stampede.
