Finally, the spear stopped in front of Yan Yan.
The blade of the gun and the center of the eyebrow are almost within easy reach!
This scene further demonstrates Cao Zhang's control over the spear.
At the same time, this scene completely established Cao Zhang's identity as the winner.
As for not bombarding Yan Yan's body, it was entirely out of Cao Zhang's respect for Yan Yan.
This old veteran has won Cao Zhang's respect!
"General Yan Yan, I accept the concession!"
Cao Zhang took back his spear and took the initiative to salute.
This scene really surprised Yan Yan.
"Master Cao is indeed a young hero, he is really admirable!"
"This time, I am convinced that I lost!"
Cao Zhang was polite and Yan Yan was even more polite.
For this veteran who is over fifty years old, there is really no such thing as "can't afford to lose".
I don’t have a particularly strong sense of utilitarianism, and I don’t have a particularly strong desire to win or lose.
Yan Yan is not bound by a strong external reputation.
At most, he is just the first general in Yongzhou.
Now I have tried my best and fought to the point of exhaustion. In the end, I would rather be seriously injured than admit defeat.
It is enough to give an explanation to everyone in Qin.
As for the future, Yan Yan does not have too many pursuits.
Fulfilling his due mission and protecting Wuguan for Liu Zhang until his death is his future plan.
This kind of indifference to fame and fortune and calmness from another perspective are enough to make people respect him.
As an opponent, Cao Zhang felt deeply.
Now he handed it over again to express his gratitude.
"Thank you for the compliment, old general!"
Yan Yan nodded slightly and said nothing more.
After handing the war horses and weapons to the soldiers trapped in the camp, they walked away on their own.
At this point, Yan Yan officially ended the martial arts competition.
At the same time, he was also the first person to be challenged and defeated with the first pick.
It is inevitable that there will be criticism and even criticism around you.
But Yan Yan remained unmoved and walked on with his head held high.
This scene was praised by Liu Zhang.
"Yan Yan is worthy of being a famous general in Yizhou, he can take it and put it down!"
"This defeat by Cao Zhang was not a crime of war, but an act of helplessness..."
Most of the criticism against Yan Yan is because he was the first overall pick to play.
If Yan Yan had not been the first pick, he would not have attracted so much criticism.
But if Yan Yan doesn’t do it, then who will do it?
For the Yongzhou team, it is actually an embarrassing existence.
Completely different from Liangzhou and Yizhou.
Except for the four major military regions of the entire Qin State, all other military forces are concentrated under the rule of Yongzhou.
Including Tongguan, Wuguan, and a large defense area at the Yellow River Ferry.
The Yongzhou team represents military strength to a certain extent, but there is no general who can support the formation.
In other words, whoever is first will have to bear some infamy.
In Liu Zhang's view, Yan Yan, a veteran, was extremely courageous for daring to take on this task.
Putting everything else aside, there is no shame in losing to the young and strong Cao Zhang!
In this day and age, there is a popular saying.
People must not accept old age.
Yan Yan's defeat did not continue to cause riots. It calmed down instantly as the sixth-ranked challenger Wu Gu came out.
Today, the ranking of the fifth region has changed drastically, and the order has directly changed to Cao Zhang, Zhang Fei, Pang De, and Jiang Yan!
In the last round, Wu Gu lost against Pang De.
The choice this time is also quite curious.
But there is no doubt that Cao Zhang, the first overall pick, is still the best choice.
Bai Yuhe's fight caused Cao Zhang to lose most of his physical strength.
Then there's the lure of the No. 1 pick.
Who wouldn’t want to sit in the No. 1 spot and advance to Day 2?
After a while, Wu Gu made his choice.
There was no surprise that Cao Zhang was chosen as his opponent.
According to the rules, Cao Zhang can get a quarter of an hour's rest time.
When the time came, both sides were fully armed and rode out.
As the war drums sounded, Cao Zhang's battle with Wu Gu officially began.
At the moment of contact, both sides exploded with all their strength.
Wu Gu, in particular, wanted to catch Cao Zhang when he was weak and take him down in one go.
In a state of complete victory, Wu Gu's advantage is indeed very obvious.
The battle did not last beyond three rounds, and they firmly took the initiative.
For more than twenty consecutive battles, Cao Zhang mainly defended and made few effective attacks.
However, Wu Gu, who tried his best, could not find a breakthrough.
The two of them could only attack and defend like this, and they were in a stalemate with each other.
But there is a saying that everyone knows, if you keep it for too long, you will lose it!
Just when everyone thought that if the stalemate continued, Cao Zhang would inevitably have a defensive loophole and lose, a sudden change occurred.
Cao Zhang changed his previous weakness and quickly turned from defense to offense!
The rapid transition between offense and defense caught Wu Gu off guard.
It's a pity that Cao Zhang didn't give Wu Gu a chance to adjust.
In less than ten seconds, Cao Zhang shot Wu Gu in the chest, knocking him off his horse.
Being knocked down like this, the outcome is decided!
Cao Zhang defeated Wu Gu and retained his No. 1 pick.
At the same time, Wu Gu was defeated and could only say goodbye to this martial arts tournament with regret.
Immediately afterwards, the last person in the fifth area stood up in the challenge.
Sun Pei, the fourth-ranked general representing the Yizhou team.
In the end, Sun Pei also chose Cao Zhang as his opponent.
It's not that he bullied Cao Zhang into fighting continuously, it was really that he had no choice among choices.
In the last round of competition, Sun Pei lost to Jiang Juan.
This round, it is impossible to choose Jiang Juan again to give points.
As for Zhang Fei and Pang De, it is even more impossible.
It's even more stupid than giving it to Jiang Juan.
Cao Zhang, who has experienced two wars, is undoubtedly the best choice.
If you are lucky enough to defeat Cao Zhang, you will not only advance successfully, but also get the reward of today's winner.
It's like killing two birds with one stone!
According to the rules, Cao Zhang once again got a quarter of an hour of rest time to recover his strength.
However, Cao Zhang did not rest, and did not even dismount his horse.
He immediately stated that he wanted to fight immediately.
When Sun Pei saw this, he became furious.
This Cao Zhang simply didn't treat him as a human being!
He quickly mounted his horse and prepared to teach this arrogant maniac a lesson in person.
Sun Pei didn't believe it. After two bloody battles in succession, Cao Zhang still had no strength left.
So what if he is not as strong as Cao Zhang?
Sun Pei will take advantage of others' danger today and make Cao Zhang regret his actions.
Not only that, Sun Pei also deliberately wanted to be cruel when he imagined defeating Cao Zhang.
Let Cao Zhang leave some scars so that he can remember this day forever.
Remember the price you paid for today's arrogance!
But just as Sun Pei was enjoying himself, the sound of war drums sounded without warning.
For a moment, Sun Pei froze on the spot and became overwhelmed.
Cao Zhang didn't care what Sun Pei was doing, and didn't pay any attention to this little shrimp.
Immediately he shouted loudly and galvanized his war horses to rush towards Sun Pei.
It wasn't until Cao Zhang came close that Sun Pei reacted and hurriedly waved his sword.
Not for defense, but to prepare to attack Cao Zhang.
Not only is the reaction slow, but the decision-making is so stupid!
One can imagine the outcome!
. . .
