Chapter Fifty-Three: Nail Try-on with the United States
Chapter 53 Nail Try-on
As mentioned last time, Liu Hou invited Zhou Xue to go out to play, but he didn't expect to be rejected by Zhou Xue.
"Well, if you don't like to go out into the wilderness, fly butterflies, fly kites, or whatever, then come with me to the camp. I'll show you my Hundred Battles Lion. Liu Hou, who touched a gray nose, saw that Zhou Xue refused to accompany him to play, so he thought about going back to patrol the camp.
As the commander in chief of the first army, he has to patrol the camp every day, so that he can find problems in time, eliminate some hidden dangers in advance, and make his soldiers more attentive when they see them every day. The last time I discovered the instability of the fish belly troops, it was discovered by Liu Houtong guò patrolling the camp. The patrol of the camp enabled him to discover the situation in a timely manner, deal with it in a timely manner, and rejuvenate the troops.
Work had to be done every day, but he wanted to spend more time with Zhou Xue, so the ghost invited Zhou Xue to patrol the camp with him.
Zhou Xue was going to continue to refuse, but later heard that she was going to patrol the camp and go to see the troops of the Shu army, and her heart began to be lively, she also wanted to see what secrets this army of Shu had secrets, why its combat effectiveness was so strong, and why Uncle Bu was afraid of this army, and he didn't even dare to confront it head-on.
She figured out that Guò followed Liu Hou to patrol the camp, snooped out the secrets of the Shu army, and then found a way to pass these secrets back to Eastern Wu, which would be greatly beneficial to the future battles of the Eastern Wu army.
So, to Liu Hou's surprise, Zhou Xue agreed to go to the camp with him. Liu Hou was very happy, and along the way, he enthusiastically introduced Zhou Xue to a qiē in the barracks, and he didn't think about whether he violated the secrecy regulations in the army and whether it would cause a leak.
Zhou Xue was no longer as silent as she had always been, and responded to Liu Hou's introduction one by one, and asked some questions from time to time, while Liu Hou patiently answered her one by one.
Soon, the two of them and a team of pro-soldiers walked to a large training ground. The sand and dust were billowing on the training ground, and the old rattan armor soldiers were training hard with the new vine armor soldiers.
Zhou Xue saw that most of the people on the training ground were monotonously repeating the action of making an oblique split, while a small number of people lined up in a row, and after the officer gave an order, they raised their knives together and used the oblique chopping action to chop the wooden stake.
Their level is uneven, and the best people can cut the stake with one sword, but many people fail to cut the stake with a thick bowl mouth, and the knife is embedded in the stake, and it is very hard to pull it out.
Liu Hou saw Zhou Xue frowning and staring at these people who split wooden stakes, and took the initiative to introduce:
"These stake splitters are a group of people who are relatively fast, and they are like everyone else in the early stage, practicing diagonal splitting movements against the air first.
When they can do it 1,000 times a day, they will practice this stake-splitting program. Liu Hou saw that she was so beautiful even frowning, she was really happy to see it, and explained very hard.
"That's how you train?" Zhou Xue asked.
"Yes, they have been practicing like this, if they continue to practice like this, within three months, they will be able to kill with one knife, and within half a year, it will be no problem to cut off people's heads with one knife. What do you think? I'm a great soldier, aren't you? Speaking of the back, Liu Hou was a little proud.
"What about the other actions? Why haven't you seen anyone practicing other movements? ”
"What other actions?"
"I want to see the sword skills of your Shu army, can you arrange a veteran to practice the sword skills of your Shu army? I want to see what your Shu army's complete sword technique is. "Zhou Xuedao.
"Our Shu army is just this move." Liu Houdao.
"How can there be only one move, although the knife skills are not as complicated as swordsmanship and marksmanship, but at least there are basic moves such as big splitting, horizontal swinging, pumping, sweeping, provoking, oblique slashing, blocking, and straight stabbing. No matter how simple the knife technique is, these basic movements are indispensable. Don't you want to show me, so you prevaricate me with lies? Zhou Xue said a little unhappily.
"No, really not, we really only practice this one action, if it is not only this one action, how dare I say that it can be effective in three months." Liu Hou felt ecstatic when he saw Zhou Xue's angry appearance, and quickly explained.
"You've been practicing this one move alone for three months?" Zhou Xue asked suspiciously.
"Don't say three months, even six months. If you don't believe it, you can ask Bu Qi, he led the troops and our army to fight in Cangwu, you can ask him, whether we have been this action from beginning to end. ”
"How is it possible, the two armies are fighting, how can there be only one action, so many people are fighting together, the situation is ever-changing, the enemy's position can also appear in the front and back, left and right, how to deal with one action?
It's just an offensive move, but what about a defensive move? And this action raises the knife so high that it slashes down from the top of the head, and the action must be relatively slow, and in such a long time, it is enough for someone else to strike preemptively and stab you.
So what's the use of such an action? The two armies are fighting, if your Shu army is just this action, it can be said that it will be defeated. Zhou Xue gave a very professional comment, which shows that her martial arts attainments are very good.
"Well, that's right, you see them, aren't they pressed up in rows? In this way, they are behind them, on the left and right, and unless the formation is broken, only the front of the first row will face the enemy, so just chop the enemy in front of them, and there is no need to defend in other directions. ”
"Even if there are no enemies from other directions, they can't move faster than someone else's direct stab or short slash." Zhou Xuedao.
"Yes, they don't need to defend because they wear an invulnerable rattan armor when they go into battle. All they had to do was concentrate on slashing their enemies.
Even if the enemy really breaks through the formation, even if it really gets into a melee, the defense can be completely left to the armor. They don't have to worry about their own safety at all. ”
Liu Hou told her the hole cards, anyway, Bu Qi already knew about the storage of the Tengjia Army, and there was nothing to keep secret.
"What rattan armor is so powerful that it can be invulnerable?" Zhou Xue was still very confused.
"You don't believe it? Then I'll show you. "There is an excuse to spend more time with Zhou Xue and see her eye-catching face, Liu Hou can't wait for it, since she took the initiative to bring up this topic, he just took advantage of it, and if he had more things to do with her, he could stay with her for a little longer.
So, Liu Hou instructed the soldiers who followed behind to fetch a rattan armor. Liu Hou is now followed by two rows of personal soldiers wherever he goes, and it looks like a big pomp, no different from the emperor's patrol, but fortunately, no one cares whether he has a problem of trespassing.
After several dangers, he no longer dared to take his safety lightly, in other words, he was more afraid of death, so he put himself under the protection of his own soldiers all the time. However, these pro-soldiers did put a lot of pressure on Zhou Xue, at least so far, she didn't dare to act rashly, and it could be regarded as a crooked attack.
Soon, the pro-soldier took a rattan armor, Liu Hou put it on himself, and asked the pro-soldier to give Zhou Xue an ordinary saber and let her try chopping herself.
Of course, the knife Liu Hou gave her was not a hundred steel treasure knives that his own soldiers usually used, but ordinary sabers captured from the Eastern Wu Army, which could not cut off a few copper plates without curling the blade.
Zhou Xue was overjoyed, thinking to herself, this is a God-given opportunity, now you can justifiably kill him, although he will die afterwards, but he can find an opportunity to complete the task, even if he dies, it is worth it.
After thinking about his father's glorious life for a while, and then thinking that he would soon not fall into his father's prestige and glory, Zhou Xue began to adjust her breathing and enter the ethereal pre-war state according to the method taught by her master.
After thinking about the movements she was about to make a few times, she had adjusted her state to the best and was ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time. At this time, her whole body was relaxed, her right hand was gently holding the knife, and there was only the target in her eyes - Liu Hou's heart position, and there was nothing else in her heart or eyes.
Liu Hou was wearing the various parts of the rattan armor and chattering to explain to her, even after the rattan armor was completely worn, he continued to talk about how much the rattan armor could play in the battle, and he didn't pay attention to Zhou Xue's state at all, and didn't know that she had finished accumulating momentum.
Suddenly, Zhou Xue suddenly burst out, grabbed the handle of the knife with his right hand, and rushed towards Liu Hou. Her right elbow was originally bent, but when she was about to reach Liu Hou, she suddenly popped out her forearm straight like a spring, and the tip of the knife stabbed straight into Liu Hou's heart.
Her trick is called Meteor Catching the Moon, first of all, she uses the inertia of rushing forward, and when she is about to reach the goal, she superimposes the power of her right foot to push the ground, then the force of pushing forward with her shoulder, and finally the force of elbow popping.
It's a pity that she is just a girl, her strength itself is small, plus she is still very young, and the time to practice martial arts is too short, she has not practiced this trick yet, she can't superimpose the force of kicking the ground, and the strength of the shoulder and the strength of the elbow are not too well integrated, which makes this move she uses greatly reduced.
But it can't be helped, this is already her most powerful move, this trick is really good to use as an assassination, she has used this trick to kill, and it is invincible. I saw her as fast as lightning "poof", and a knife stabbed Liu Hou's chest.
Liu Hou was not prepared at all, and when he was caught off guard, he was hit by the force of this knife and flew backwards for two or three steps before falling to the ground, and there was a pain in his chest and buttocks, which made him feel very annoyed. I didn't show it myself if I knew it, but it's really not worth it to suffer this kind of crime in order to please a beautiful woman.
Zhou Xue felt a feeling of cutting into the object from the tip of the knife, and was overjoyed at first, and then felt that the knife was very shallow, and she felt very puzzled in her heart, it stands to reason that this knife can be pierced through the chest with one knife, she has used this trick to kill people many times, and every time the knife is in the front chest and out in the back chest.
Even if you are wearing armor, you can make the tip of the knife penetrate through the scale gap of the armor and cause some damage to the opponent.
Could it be that this set of armor is really so powerful that it can guard against its own tricks? Zhou Xue didn't want to miss this great opportunity for assassination, so she quickly stepped forward to take a look. Liu Hou had already sat up at this time, only to see that a rattan on his chest had a rattan broken, revealing the inner layer of vertical rattan.
Zhou Xue felt a chill, it turned out that this set of rattan armor actually had two layers, the outer rattan was horizontally arranged, and the inner layer was vertically arranged, so that the entire rattan armor did not have any gaps for knives and guns to drill into.
Liu Hou rubbed his ass with his left hand and his left chest with his right hand, his face wrinkled into a bitter gourd face, of course, others couldn't see his bitter gourd face, because it was blocked by a mask. Zhou Xue saw that this prince was bleeding, not to mention bleeding, and he didn't even break his skin a little, so he was in a hurry, and he stepped forward to split his head and brain.
I only heard the sound of "Bang Bang Bang", this time because he didn't use that kind of trick of superimposing strength, Zhou Xue even cut the rattan on the first layer, leaving only a few shallow knife marks on the rattan armor.
