Chapter 181, the battle (2)
Before starting a battle with Jiang Zhuying, Cao Shiwu also secretly calculated with Zeng that if he was that young man, he would have no way to solve Jiang Zhuying's killer move "Feng Tianyuan", so he thought that the best way was to suppress Jiang Zhuying's momentum from the beginning and defeat him before she used her most powerful killer move.
At this moment, Jiang Zhuying's seemingly inadvertent shot became more fierce as the war horse stepped forward. Before the gun was enough, Cao Shiwu felt that his body was pricked with a needle. This was obviously a manifestation that had condensed all his strength into a thread.
Looking at Jiang Zhuying, he almost naturally used it, without any so-called accumulation of momentum. Cao Shiwu was secretly shocked and even more nervous.
Cao Shiwu is definitely not as rough as his appearance, and he is even a little cautious.
Seeing Jiang Zhuying's sharp spear, his eyes were like lightning. He stared at Jiang Zhuying's coming. He waved his flying sickle spear in his hand and pressed it against the barrel of Jiang Zhuying's Fengxing Gun.
A dazzling spark burst into the air with the friction of metal, and Jiang Zhuying's gun was finally stopped by him.
~~~~~~~~
Jiang Zhuying and Cao Shiwu fought fiercely, and Lei Dongfeng and Zhang Xilong also faced each other with swords and guns.
"Lei Dongfeng, you are very strong!" Zhang Xilong waved his long sword and knocked the flying Lei Dongfeng closer to him, leaving a distance from him again.
Lei Dongfeng's cold-finned double halberds are about one meter three long and are short weapons; Zhang Xilong's long sword is a long sword similar to the combination of Pu Dao and Yanyue Dao, about two meter four five.
Lei Dongfeng knew that if the distance between the battle was too far, he would have to be beaten passively, so he kept trying to fight Zhang Xilong in close combat.
But every time he approaches Zhang Xilong, Zhang Xilong will control the horse and retreat, and the head is as cunning as a loach.
"Minggang's swordsmanship has made great progress." Guan Bowen, the Minister of the Military Affairs Office, who was watching the battle, suddenly drove away from Zhenbei Hou Zhang Guang.
"Well, it's still a good match." Zhang Guangyuan looked solemn and stared at Lei Dongfeng who was fighting with his son.
It is a lie to say that Zhang Guangyuan does not want to take revenge. Since he learned that Lei Dongfeng came to Emperor for money, food and supplies, Zhang Guangyuan has also hinted that his own officials raised various oppositions when discussing this matter.
But these cannot cause fundamental damage to Lei Dongfeng after all. In this competition, Zhang Xilong also asked him: "Would you take the opportunity to hurt Lei Dongfeng?"
Zhang Guangyuan shook his head to stop him. After all, Lei Dongfeng is now famous in the imperial capital and is a person that many people value. If Zhang Xilong really takes the lead, the Zhang family of Zhenbei Hou would be even more targeted by thousands of people, and Zhang Guangyuan would not want to be so cheap.
For Zhang Guangyuan, Lei Dong can be killed. But it is not now, because there are more important things in front of you to deal with.
However, Zhang Xilong on the scene was a little wrong, and he was chasing and attacking fiercely, as if he would not give up until Lei Dongfeng was killed on the horse.
Zhang Guangyuan still knows his son very well. Zhang Xilong was able to be the commander of the cavalry division in his twenties. Although he has family background, he himself is also very outstanding.
Moreover, Zhang Guangyuan was not stupid. He knew that Cao Qianlong was so close to him, and even sent his son Cao Shiwu to the Guards Army, all for the purpose of planning the Guards Army's final military power.
The fact that Cao Shiwu was proposed to be elected as deputy commander half a year ago was not passed, which was also the reason why Zhang Guangyuan secretly interfered. He did not want Cao Shiwu to advance so quickly. Although it seemed that the First Cavalry Division of the Guards had become the private army of the Cao family, and Cao Ganlong's younger brother Cao Kunhu was already the deputy commander of the Feilong Legion, one of the top ten legions of the Empire. Although the commander of the Feilong Legion has always been vacant, everyone knew that Cao Kunhu was actually just like the commander of the Legion.
But Zhang Guangyuan was not willing to be usurped by Cao Shiwu, and the form of Cao Kunhu's rise to power was almost exactly the same as today's Cao Shiwu. He started from the grassroots level and climbed up step by step with the help of his family background. Finally, he entered the last three leagues at the Wujiehui Conference in the Imperial Capital, and was successfully promoted to the deputy commander of the Feilong Legion.
Of course, it is almost impossible for Cao Kunhu to move forward with his age of nearly forty. Not to mention that he does not have the ability, even if he has, in order to balance his power, the big men in the imperial capital would not agree to the Cao family to become bigger. This is the reality of politics.
Cao Shiwu is different, but he is in his twenties, and his martial arts and strategies are outstanding. He has also participated in the suppression of rebellion against Goryeo in the northeastern border of the empire, and was also a general who killed more than a thousand people. Therefore, there are opportunities that can be promoted and reused.
Moreover, if he reaches the deputy corps level and reaches the Imperial Major General at the age of his twenties, it can be said that the Guards will inevitably be controlled by him in the future.
Therefore, Zhang Guangyuan supported his son so much to participate in the competition. As long as Zhang Xilong could go further than Cao Shiwu in the competition, he would be confident that Zhang Xilong would become the deputy commander of the Guards, rather than the child named Cao.
In this way, I can always suppress the Cao family in terms of military power, so that my family will not become a vassal of the Cao family.
Zhang Xilong knew about these subtle situations, but Zhang Guangyuan had repeatedly discussed and analyzed them with him.
At this moment, don’t say that Zhang Xilong may not be able to really hurt Lei Dongfeng. Even if he really deliberately hurt Lei Dongfeng, if Cao Ganlong used this to make a fuss, wouldn’t it be a waste of Cao Shiwu?
Zhang Xilong chased and beat Zhang Guangyuan so hard.
But who knows that Zhang Xilong's heart is actually calm at this moment.
He hated Lei Dongfeng in front of him, who brought infinite shame to his family, but he was not in a hurry because he knew that he could only be used by others.
Everyone thought he wanted to use this game to harm Lei Dongfeng unscrupulously, and his cruelty in the previous battles seemed to prove this.
Zhang Xilong didn't care, he just wanted to make everyone feel illusion and make Lei Dongfeng anxious.
All he had to do was to try his best to reach the final. If he could not, he would let Lei Dongfeng take the risk, at least he would give Lei Dongfeng a heavy blow under the seemingly reasonable circumstances.
Moreover, even if Lei Dongfeng cannot enter the final, Zhang Xilong believes that Cao Shiwu will definitely not enter the final. If Jiang Zhuying really attaches importance to Lei Dongfeng as rumored, he will definitely try his best to reach the final to avenge Lei Dongfeng.
Zhang Xilong, who became serious, has seen Jiang Zhuying. He is confident that Cao Shiwu will not be Jiang Zhuying's opponent.
With the enemy's hands, clear the enemy's power. Zhang Xilong has a good plan.
At this moment, Zhang Xilong's sword technique was not only getting faster and faster, but also the distance between him and Lei Dongfeng gradually widened.
Lei Dongfeng was also very clear-headed. He knew that this was not the time to be anxious. If he kept seeking strength, he would be led by Zhang Xilong.
One knife, two knife, three knife, Zhang Xilong's sword is like lightning. If Zhang Xilong, who had started more than a dozen rounds, was based on his speed, he was obviously a little breathless now, but he was still like this, so he had to make Lei Dongfeng wary.
What's more, Lei Dongfeng is now exhausted and is constantly fighting with high intensity. Although he has half an hour of rest in the middle of each game, his body still feels a little sore and numb.
When Lei Dongfeng stopped Zhang Xilong's hard slash and the two horses intertwine again, Lei Dongfeng suddenly turned the horse's head. The dragon general was already suppressed and was impatient. He suddenly shook his body and actually turned around at a very small angle.
Zhang Xilong felt the wind coming from behind his ears, and subconsciously used a Su Qin-backed sword, and used a knife rod to resist Lei Dongfeng's halberd.
But under the huge shock, I felt a pain in my back and a stuffy chest.
Lei Dongfeng was in power and was unforgivable. As soon as he urged the dragon general, the horse's head tightly held Zhang Xilong's ponytail. Zhang Xilong's sword was not easy to turn, and in addition, he returned the sword with his backhand, but he was in a hurry to resist.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Zhang Xilong simply stopped resisting, and tried his best to urge the mount, dragged the long sword backwards, and ran forward in an attempt to use the horse to shake off Lei Dongfeng.
But unexpectedly, the dragon general's feet were faster than the yellow-fat war horse under Zhang Xilong. In addition, he had been suppressed for so long, but he was catching up with him happily.
Faced with this situation, the people who supported Lei Dongfeng on the sidelines began to cheer.
The people who supported Zhang Xilong began to shout and encourage Zhang Xilong.
As for those gamblers who had put a heavy bet on Zhang Xilong, they were full of sorrow.
Lei Dongfeng saw Zhang Xilong blindly avoiding him, and he became more alert. From Zhang Xilong's previous performance, he should not have such a personality?
"Does he still want to use hidden weapons?" Lei Dongfeng thought to himself, but immediately rejected this idea, because according to the regulations of Wujiehui, it is strictly forbidden to use any hidden weapons, otherwise whether he hits the opponent or not, he will be deprived of the qualification for the game on the spot. If the opponent is injured, he will be punished even more severely.
Of course, if you are good at using long-distance strike weapons such as bows and arrows, you can explain to your opponent and referee in advance, and you can only use bows and arrows in this case. It is strictly forbidden to use them during the fight, and you can only shoot when the opponent is prepared at the beginning of the game.
In this case, it is more than a bit of riding and shooting.
Of course, it is not easy to hit the opponent in high sports and constantly attack or defense.
Most of the cavalry in the empire can shoot arrows during movement, but if they are shooting arrows while archery, they are nowhere in a thousand miles.
Therefore, archers and archers generally do not achieve very good results in Wujiehui. At least in the fight, the effect of archers and archers is minimal. However, the first round of archery elimination screening has actually given players with high archery skills a chance, so they have nothing to complain about.
Since Zhang Xilong is not trying to hurt people with hidden weapons, why is he doing? Lei Dongfeng is puzzled.
"Shang Li, when will you pass on the technique of dragging the knife to Zhang Xilong?" Zhao Huicheng's eyes turned cold and turned to the Minister of Military Affairs Guan Bowen.
"Fei Lan, I have a martial arts school you should know." Guan Bowen said lightly.
"Didn't you want to pass on the Qinglong sword technique in person? When will it be so easy to learn it?" Zhao Huicheng said coldly.
"Yes, I saw that Zhang Xilong had good qualifications, so I broadcast him a few times on demand." Guan Bowen said.
"Okay, very good!" Zhao Huicheng saw Lei Dongfeng getting closer and closer, but he couldn't stand up to remind him, and his fists were clenched gently.
At this moment, on the field, Lei Dongfeng and Guan Bowen's ponytail were only one horse-shaped body, and the cold front halberds in his hand were about to be swung out. Suddenly, he saw Zhang Xilong's arm slightly lifting, and a trace of alert flashed in his heart, and the Dragon General BMW suddenly snored, and his pace slowed down.
BMW was psychic, Lei Dongfeng took advantage of the situation to tie the reins, his hair was upside down, and he screamed inwardly: "Drag the knife!"
