Although protected by rattan armor, Zhang Siwei was still in terrible pain! And a more serious consequence occurred, that is, his breath was messed up!
Anyone with exercise experience knows that exercise requires a lot of oxygen, so breathing rhythm is very important! But Guard Zhang's breath was in chaos, he couldn't lift it up in one breath, and his movements became even more sluggish! So after he barely blocked six attacks from soldiers on both sides amid the entangled defenses of the central soldiers, he was already breathing messy and starting to feel dizzy! ap.
But at this moment, the attacks from both sides came almost at the same time, and the wooden guns pointed at his sides again! He barely deflected the wooden gun on the right, stepped back and dodged the wooden gun on the left, and earned himself a chance to breathe! But he clearly felt that he seemed to have forgotten something?
Then he suddenly realized that the pressure on the wooden knife in his hand disappeared! It seems that the central soldiers have neglected their duty! Then all the hairs on his body stood up! Where is this soldier's wooden gun?
After the battle started, in his subconscious impression, the wooden gun of the central soldier was always entangled with his wooden sword and never attacked, so he somewhat ignored this soldier! Even though he had just been poked in the thigh, he still habitually ignored him!
Before he could figure it out, he felt a strong force hit his chest. The breath he had just breathed out was instantly stuck in his chest, and he felt dizzy in his head! Immediately, his feet went weak, and he fell to the ground on his back! At this moment he knew that he had been stabbed!
Just as he thought, the central soldier who was always on the defensive discovered his flaw, immediately gave up the defense without hesitation, and gave him a straight stab. The wooden spear was stabbed squarely in the middle of Guard Zhang's chest. , directly poked him to the ground!
Seeing Guard Zhang fall to the ground, two other soldiers quickly rushed over and made false stabbing gestures on him! If he were on the battlefield, he would probably have three penetrating wounds on his body at this time, and he would definitely be dead!
From the first time Guard Zhang was shot to the end of the battle, it only took a few breaths, which fully demonstrated the cruelty of hand-to-hand combat! In this kind of battle, it's either life or death, and both sides have no room for maneuver!
At this time, a burst of cheers broke out among the soldiers! They are cheering for their brothers! Because the first two failures were so miserable, when we won, the cheers were particularly strong! The other guards on the high platform were sullen and silent.
At this time, Zhang Jia said with emotion: "It's really unbelievable that Mr. Zhang, who is very skilled in martial arts, was knocked down by three ordinary soldiers!"
Emperor Wanli nodded repeatedly and said eagerly: "Liu Aiqing, tell me what's going on? Everything just happened so fast, I didn't even see it clearly!"
Liu Haojia hurriedly stepped forward to explain. By the time he finished explaining, Guard Zhang had already limped back to the high platform, knelt down directly in front of Emperor Wanli and said, "I have embarrassed the Long Live Emperor!"
Emperor Wanli stepped forward, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said, "You are all my ministers. You are just competing with each other. There is nothing embarrassing or not!"
At this time, Liu Haojia also stepped forward and said with a smile, "Master Zhang, I am really offended!"
Guard Zhang felt depressed looking at his smiling face! You know, his skills are among the top three in the palace, but now he was knocked down by three ordinary soldiers. Where does this put his face? So he subconsciously said: "Master Liu, this is just a competition! If it is on a real battlefield, I will definitely win!"
Liu Haojia saw that he was a little angry and didn't even think of himself as a subordinate, so he put away his smile and said: "Master Zhang, you are right. If it were a real battlefield, the three of them would probably die in battle! But! I have a question for Mr. Zhang, how long have you been practicing martial arts?"
Zhang Weiwei had come to his senses at this time and said: "Xiaguan has been practicing martial arts since he was five years old, and it has been 32 years now!"
Liu Haojia said with emotion: "Thirty-two years, this is a long time! But Mr. Zhang, have you ever thought about it, that is, on a real battlefield, will I send only three people to fight with you? Maybe thirty people will be sent up! And there is a more important point. Mr. Zhang, it took you thirty-two years to achieve your current skills.
In front of these soldiers, as long as you give me half a year, you can have as many as you want! "
As soon as Liu Haojia said these words, Guard Zhang, who was still a little aggrieved, and even the other guards suddenly fell silent! Because they knew what Liu Haojia said was right! In history, countless powerful generals were killed by ordinary soldiers!
And as generals, they also know one thing better, that is, on the battlefield, the role of personal force has become smaller and smaller! At the same time, more than a dozen bayonets came at them, and even Xiang Yu couldn't resist them!
However, Liu Haojia saw their expressions of concern and softened his words: "But, Mr. Zhang and these soldiers are taking a different path! Your focus is on personal defense and you are good at fighting alone. For those assassins who are trying to assassinate, You are the last line of defense for Long Live Lord! And these things are absolutely impossible for my soldiers, so Mr. Zhang doesn’t have to think too much! The direction of your efforts is completely different, so this competition is not normal at all. the result of!"
After hearing this, Guard Zhang and the others looked much better. And Emperor Wanli nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes! What Liu Aiqing said makes sense! You are my last line of defense, so I have to rely on you for my safety!"
The guards' expressions finally became lively, and they all knelt down and said, "I am willing to die for Your Majesty!"
When Liu Haojia saw Emperor Wanli helping Guard Zhang up and the atmosphere relaxed, he interrupted and said, "Long live my lord, please move to the shooting range and I will show you the power of the fire gun!"
Emperor Wanli naturally had a better streak. Then the group came to the shooting range separated by a short wall. At this time, a batch of brand new wooden half-length targets had been replaced in the shooting range, and 60 soldiers were marching neatly into the shooting position.
When they were about 30 steps away from the wooden target, the soldiers quickly formed three rows under the command of the officer. At this time, Liu Haojia explained: "Long live Lord, this distance is generally the distance at which the opponent's bow and arrow can exert its maximum power. Even the soft bow used by the Mongols can cause enough damage at this distance. I will start from the close distance. Show the power of the firecracker to Long Live Lord, and then slowly release the target into the distance."
