Chapter 13 Tournament
In the early morning, although there was no sound of rooster crowing in the military camp, the year-round biological clock still made Zuo Houde get up early.
Using the method taught by Zhang Shigan, first soak the towel and apply heat to your eyes and temples. For about one or two minutes, clean your face, and rinse your willow branches, Zuo Houde practices sword in the yard. Although there is a martial arts competition today, he still needs to practice swords, just treat it as a warm-up.
After practicing swords, I was sweating, after having breakfast, I rested for a while and then went to the shooting range to wait.
Zuo Houde didn't bring the long sword given by his father. It was too light for practicing swords, 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 venue for competition. Yesterday I went back and talked to my general, and he said he wanted to see your arm strength." Yan Zhong was quite excited.
Zuo Houde was surprised, "You said your lieutenant will watch us compete."
"Yes, my general loves to compete with others the most, and also likes to compete with others," said Yan Zhong.
"But the martial arts field behind the camp?" Zuo Houde asked.
"Yes, that's it. There are only our personal guards and the lieutenant there. Brother Zuo doesn't have to let go, hahaha." Yan Zhong smiled heartily again.
Zuo Houde gave him a blank look, but it was okay that Zuo Houde had never been to this martial arts venue. It was the exclusive venue for the lieutenant and his personal guards.
"Let's go! Brother Six, lead the way."
"Okay, you just follow some family."
After a while, the two of them arrived at the martial arts venue.
Zuo Houde finally saw this. The so-called martial arts venue is a place similar to a ring.
Now the audience is surrounded by people, dressed up like Yan Zhong, and I think they are all personal guards.
Zuo Houde also saw Captain Luo and hurried forward to salute, "I have met Captain."
Luo Lie still looked expressionless and just waved his hand, "No need to be polite, just like, Yan Zhong praised you yesterday, saying that your arm strength is amazing."
"I dare not, I must do my best." Zuo Houde clasped his fists and said yes.
Zuo Houde came to the left, and there were several personal guards under the stage wearing armor for him.
"Mr., you must teach Commander Yan a lesson." As he said that, he sorted out the armor for Zuo Houde.
The iron armor on your body should be worn well. Although it is a martial arts competition, the sword has no eyes and there is an extra layer of guarantee on it.
"Mr., what weapon do you use?" asked a tall guard.
"Brother, get me a thick-backed sword and another shield." Zuo Houde said.
After a while, the weapon was brought and Zuo Houde was in his hand, which was quite appropriate.
"Has I ever been suitable? My husband!" asked the tall guard again.
"Just take advantage of it." Zuo Houde waved his long sword.
Then he walked onto the stage. Yan Zhong was wearing iron armor, holding a short axe with his left and right hands, staring at Zuo Houde with his eyes burningly.
Zuo Houde holds the shield with his left hand, and the long sword rotates in his right hand to adapt to the size and weight of the long sword. At the same time, he moves his footwork and jumps lightly from time to time.
After a brief warm-up, the two walked towards the center of the ring, and many of the guards sitting in the audience also stood up and surrounded them.
Zuo Houde leaned forward and stood with a shield in front of him. Most of the right arm holding the sword was covered, making Yan Zhong unable to see clearly and could not judge Zuo Houde's sword-making posture.
Yan Zhong was no exception, posing in a fight, with his two axes leaning against his chest.
When the two of them slowly approached ten steps, Zuo Houde spoke: "You must be careful, my attack speed is very fast."
There was no fluctuation in Yan Zhong's eyes: "Come and fight!"
"good!"
Zuo Houde immediately rushed straight to 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 footing point suddenly accelerated and slashed ahead. He thought that Zuo Houde had nowhere to leverage his force to rob him, or he would dodge in a mess.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Houde's footwork was faster. When he slashed the axe, Zuo Houde's left foot had already landed on the ground. His right foot stepped on the ground with his left foot as the axis and moved his body instantly. After his body moved, Yan Zhong slashed to the afterimage.
In front of Zuo Houde was the side of Yan Zhong who had just made a big move. He spied out the long sword in his hand, and was in the left arm that Yan Zhong had slashed out from his axe.
Zuo Houde retreated with one blow, Yan Zhong was stunned, and was upset and drooped with his arms holding his two axes: "I lost."
If you are in actual combat, the attack just now will not stab the left arm, but will stab the head or neck.
This is the method Zuo Houde decided yesterday. Even though Zuo Houde's arm is stronger than Yan Zhong, it is a fact that the sword is lighter than the axe. Fighting the axe with a sword is very unfavorable to Zuo Houde. Zuo Houde thought of the sword and shield skills.
In the pre-Qin period, sword and shield fighting was popular, and sword and shield that were flexible, dangerous and efficiently killed sword and shield replaced the contradiction. After the ring-headed sword was fully equipped, sword and shield with low technology and low training cost was replaced.
The original purpose of the development of the weapon and shield martial arts is to hunt, maintain the best distance from the enemy with flexible footwork, and use simple stabbing as an attack method. The sword and shield are assassination at close range, and the sword and shield are to win with close slashing momentum.
Zuo Houde is good at using swords. His family-born swordsmanship also takes a light route and takes the path of assassination. With the shield, Zuo Houde is even more skillful.
Yan Zhong's kung fu is to open and close, and he can move around without any restraint. If he achieves a little, he can wear heavy armor and traverse freely.
Zuo Houde is a fighting technique between life and death. Within the range, he can move around and master skills and be able to run alone, and I am invincible in the short distance.
As the saying goes, a master fights, and the winner will be decided by just a few moves. The audience in the audience can see Zuo Houde’s pace is flexible and his sword is fierce.
However, Luo Lie was happy when he saw the Lie, and went on stage to hold his fists and said, "The sword and shield skills of the Langjun are extremely exquisite. I wonder if Luo Lie can ask for advice."
Zuo Houde also slapped the sword and shield, "Don't you agree, come and fight."
Luo Lie ordered his left and right to wear armor, take a silver spear, and walk onto the ring, jump lightly from time to time, warm up for a while, and then walk towards the center.
"Be careful, General!" Zuo Houde spoke,
Luo Lie's expression remained unchanged, "Come and fight!"
Zuo Houde held the heavy sword in front of him and quickly slashed towards Luo Zhen!
Luo Lie picked up the silver spear in his hand, and his momentum suddenly surged, and a fierce feeling came to his face. An iron spear over one person was poked out like a dragon going out to sea, with an extremely rapid speed.
Zuo Houde avoided sideways, but the silver spear changed to piercing and smashed it hard towards Zuo Houde!
He took the sword and retreated, and Zuo Houde blocked it with his shield in an instant, and then he removed the power of the gun.
Luo Lie was unreasonable, but the silver spear in his hand did not stop moving at all, stabbing, stabbing, slashing, and sweeping, with unparalleled momentum.
Zuo Houde let his performance, and the sword and shield in his hand were also steadily struggling. No matter how powerful he was, he remained unmoved.
Finally, Zuo Houde figured out Luo Lie's offensive, and his shield sank and hit him forward. It was the back of the gun, and the spear came out of his hand, and Luo Lie had nowhere to focus.
Zuo Houde's right hand suddenly stabbed out and landed on Luo Lie's chest.
Luo Lie smiled bitterly, clasped his fists and said, "Mr., your strength is amazing, a certain family loses."
Zuo Houde quickly replied, "I dare not. The general has no spear skills, and Zuo is also lucky."
"I, Yanzhao, win, win, lose, lose. A certain family is not someone who cannot afford to lose. In this army, you will have to get closer to your husband in the future." Luo Lie was also very arrogant and smiled.
"In this way, thank you for the general and get closer in the future." Zuo Houde said with his fist.
Chapter completed!
