The man was born with broad shoulders and a thick back. He looked very strong. He was riding a tall black Dawan horse with shiny coat. He was charging towards Jiang Shuo with a horse in his hand.
The appearance of the spear is similar to that of a spear, but its length is longer. According to the "Tang Liudian·Arsenal Order", the spear is eight feet long and is called a spear. Take a closer look at the horse spear in the man's hand. The pole is made of mulberry wood and painted with lacquer. The head is like a dagger, about two feet long, not very sharp, but has eight edges. The horse sword is a sharp weapon for breaking armor, and it does not win with its sharpness.
The space between the stem and the stem suddenly becomes thinner, and a knot is tied with a long white grate, which is called "leaving the knot" to prevent the long stem from penetrating too deeply and being unable to pull out.
The one-foot-eight-foot long horse was almost impossible to hold on the horse. The man clamped Shuo tightly around his waist with his left hand and stretched out his right hand to hold it flat. He could barely maintain the balance of the long horse. Even so, behind the blade of the horse The white eyebrows fluttered and trembled.
The fast horse looked very powerful, but Jiang Shuo showed no fear. When he saw this powerful weapon, he was secretly excited and couldn't help but want to compete with the man.
Jiang Shuo was afraid that the long spear would hurt Long Xiang's horse, so he rushed towards the knight without waiting for the cavalry holding the spear to approach.
The knight was secretly shocked. He had experienced countless military formations, and he had never seen a strong soldier who refused to retreat in the face of Ma Shan, but he had never seen someone like the young man in front of him, who rushed towards him.
He knew that he was riding a tiger at this moment, and he could not show any hesitation or timidity. He could only bite the bullet and clamp his long legs, shouted loudly, and galloped forward.
Jiang Shuo just waited for the horse spear to hit him, and suddenly turned aside, avoiding the head of the spear, and reached out to grab the pole. However, the knight seemed to have expected that Jiang Shuo would be able to dodge the blow, and he saw that he was holding the pole between his arms. As soon as he loosened his left arm, he pulled back his right hand, and his head suddenly retracted, so that Jiang Shuo almost caught the eight-edged blade.
As soon as Changshu retreated, he immediately adjusted the angle and thrust again, this time aiming at Jiang Shuo's choked throat.
Jiang Shuo praised: "Good work!" He swung his body, but easily avoided the stab again. This time, he no longer grabbed the spear pole, but rushed forward again and plunged into the knight's arms. .
Jiang Shuo rushed so fast. No matter how fast the warrior pulled back his long spear, it was still not as fast as the magical footwork of walking through the stars. However, he also had other changes. He waved his arms together and moved the thick The pole swept toward Jiang Shuo.
This was exactly what Jiang Shuo wanted. He stretched out his arms towards the pole, trying to grab the long pole. Unexpectedly, the knight's wrist trembled, and the long pole had great toughness and bounced upward suddenly. , avoiding Jiang Shuo's hands, and smashed towards his face.
This blow was completely beyond Jiang Shuo's expectation. He quickly ducked down and hid his head to avoid the blow.
The knight's physical strength was really impressive. Seeing that this sweeping stroke was about to miss, he suddenly twisted his wrist, turned the heavy spear at a steep angle, and slammed it down. The eight-foot-long spear was actually hit by him. He is as dexterous as an eyebrow-raising stick.
Jiang Shuo turned aside, avoiding his head, and used his shoulders to support his shoulders. The knight slammed Jiang Shuo's shoulder blades with thunderous force, trying to smash his shoulder blades into pieces.
He was about to pull off a trick, but as soon as the figure flashed, Jiang Shuo sidestepped and darted upwards.
Jiang Shuo deliberately showed weakness and dodged twice. Sure enough, he was ahead of the knight. He jumped up in a strange way, which puzzled the knight for a moment. According to common sense, one should keep his feet on the ground to move quickly. If you dodge and jump in the air, unable to move, wouldn't you be at the mercy of others?
After just a moment of hesitation, the knight immediately thrust his horse spear upwards. Jiang Shuo's lightness skills were very good. He jumped very high, but the length of the horse spear was much longer than that of an ordinary spear. This thrust was still very threatening. .
Jiang Shuo twisted his body in the air and dodged the stab again as expected. However, he swung out with one palm and struck the knight diagonally. Now the knight would be in trouble. If he didn't use his horse to resist, he would be in danger. He was about to be slapped by Jiang Shuo. Judging from this young man's lightness skills, being hit by him would definitely be unbearable.
But if he swung his weapon to parry, the young man would be grabbing his weapon. Wouldn't he be sending the weapon into the opponent's hands?
The knight was really quick to see the opportunity. He immediately clamped his legs under the horse's belly. The black horse was very humane and immediately stepped back, so that the knight had room to thrust his spear.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Shuo suddenly made a horse talk in the air, and neighed "唏伦lv". The horse just took a step back, but immediately paced forward. The knight was shocked, but no matter how hard he clamped the horse's belly, the dark horse was Don't listen to orders, just keep your head down and move forward.
Jiang Shuo stretched out his arms and finally grabbed the pole. The knight hurriedly snatched it back. Logically speaking, a person cannot exert force in the air. Even if he grabbed the pole, he would only be at the mercy of others. However, Jiang Shuo used the Thousand Jin Drop. With his body movement, he held the pole in his hand and pressed down. The knight suddenly felt as if he was carrying a huge burden in his hands. He could no longer hold on and lowered the pole involuntarily.
Jiang Shuo's feet landed on the ground, and his strength increased sharply. He grabbed the thin neck between the head of the pole and the pole, pressed the pole hard with both arms, and actually lifted the knight on the other end of the pole away from the Dawan horse. Lift it up in turn.
Although the knight struggled desperately, he couldn't press down the pole like Jiang Shuo, and he didn't dare to let go and throw the pole. If Jiang Shuo turned the pole upside down and stabbed him, he would be dead or alive, so he was like this in mid-air. , clinging tightly to the pole, like a flag when there is no wind, clinging to the pole.
The horse's shaft was one foot and eight feet long. Jiang Shuo was holding the narrowest point between the head and the shaft. The knight fell on the other end, with a gap of more than four feet between them. Jiang Shuo couldn't hit him. .
After picking the knight up in the air, he discovered that the man's upper body was long and majestic, but his lower body was shorter than ordinary people. It seemed that this man was born to be a cavalryman.
Jiang Shuo was amused and shouted to him, "That man Wuzi, who are you?"
The man held on tightly to the pole, still afraid of slipping down. His feet were crossed and entangled on the pole, just like a monkey climbing the pole, but he said: "This person is the cavalry officer of the Lintao Army, Gao Xiuyan!"
The previous Zhang Shouyu was an infantry and brigade commander, with an official rank starting from the eighth rank. This Gao Xiuyan was a cavalry cavalry officer, and from the eighth rank downwards, they were all minor officials who had left the country.
Jiang Shuo smiled and said, "Gao Bingcao, you and I are not alike. Why do you stab me with a spear when we don't even know our names when we meet?"
Gao Xiuyan was held up in the air like a flag by Jiang Shuo, but he still refused to give in and said: "You kid, what kind of magic did you use to capture the soul of my brother Zhang Shouyu? How can I let go of you?"
Jiang Shuo said: "Don't worry, Gao Bingcao, I don't know any magic tricks. I just tapped Brigadier Zhang's acupuncture points, but I didn't harm his life."
Gao Xiuyan didn't believe it and said: "The boy is weird, and he said he doesn't know magic. Just now he cast a spell on my white-hoofed crow to make the horse disobedient. What is it if it's not magic?"
The "White-hoofed Crow" was indeed a well-trained war horse. Even when its owner left the saddle, it ran away without being frightened. Instead, it just stood there. Jiang Shuo looked down at its hooves and saw that its hooves were indeed white. Other than that, its whole body looked black. It was as shiny as silk satin, and it turned out to be a horse as its name suggests. Jiang Shuo smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this? I know horse language, so asking Brother Ma to help me is not a magic trick."
As he said this, he hissed, and the white-hoofed crow hissed in response, spread its hooves, ran in a small circle around Jiang Shuo and Gao Xiuyan, and then stopped again.
Jiang Shuo praised: "It is indeed a good horse."
Gao Xiuyan was hanging on the tree pole and couldn't help but stare at it. He said: "There are weird things, and there are weird things. The white-tied crow never stops being ordered by others, even if it is whipped and prodded, it refuses to obey. How do you make it go away?" Circle? Is there really a horse in the world that can't speak?"
Dugu Xiang sat on Long Xiang's horse and said, "Why not? Now Brother Shuo may be the only person in the world who can speak horse language."
Only then did Gao Xiuyan notice the yellow jade-topped hay under Dugu Xiang's crotch, and he couldn't help shouting: "This is a bone dragon! I didn't expect this kid to have such a good horse."
The Long Xiang horse's fur is like tiger stripes, and the bumps under its flanks look like protruding ribs, making it look like a thin skin and bones, so it is also called "Tooth Bone Dragon". It looks thin, but in fact it has long belly and thighs and can only run fast. Fast and with better endurance, it is truly the best among horses. m.
Gao Xiuyan looked at Long Xiangma, and not only did he believe that Jiang Shuo could indeed speak horse language.
He shouted from the pole: "If you don't want to harm Zhang Shouyu, then wake up and take a look..."
Jiang Shuo said "Okay", pointed the stick in his hand downwards, and plunged it into the ground. Now Gao Xiuyan really became a flag. The stick was inserted into the soil like a flagpole, but the flag on it was replaced by Gao Xiuyan.
Jiang Shuo was not afraid of him slipping off the pole, and turned back to Zhang Shouyu. Zhang Shouyu was stood up by him before, but now he still kept the same posture with his hands raised, which looked very funny.
Jiang Shuo waved his right hand continuously and tapped several of Zhang Shouyu's acupuncture points. It seemed to be a very light move. Zhang Shouyu finally lowered his hand after raising it for a long time. He shook his stiffened arm desperately, but he did not dare to touch Jiang Shuo again. Invited to fight.
Jiang Shuo turned back to Gao Xiuyan and said, "Gao Bingcao, look, I didn't lie to you, right?"
Gao Xiuyan just slipped down from the pole and wanted to pull it out, but Jiang Shuo just inserted it seemingly casually, and the two-foot-long dagger-like head was almost completely missing from the picture. Gao Xiuyan pulled hard twice, but no matter what, Can't pull it out.
But Jiang Shuo was looking back at him, and Gao Xiuyan climbed up the pole silently, as if the previous scene had never happened.
This made Jiang Shuo, Dugu Xiang, and Tuoba Qimei all burst into laughter.
Dugu Xiang said: "Gao Bingcao, judging from your appearance and skills, you are not a Han."
She was actually mocking Gao Xiuyan for climbing on the pole, looking like a monkey but not a human being. However, Gao Xiuyan did not understand the meaning and said seriously: "Yes, I am from Goguryeo, with the surname Gao."
Seeing that he didn't hear the sarcasm in his words, Dugu Xiang shook his head and said, "I'm talking about you..."
Jiang Shuo hurriedly stopped him. He knew that Goguryeo people were the fiercest and most stubborn. If one word was spoken carelessly, it would lead to lifelong hatred. He changed the subject and said, "I don't know that 'Hexi Flying General' Gao Sheji and Zun What does driving have to do with it?”
Gao Xiuyan raised his eyebrows and said: "General Gao is my uncle. After the Tang Dynasty destroyed Goguryeo in the first year of Zongzhang, the Gao family moved to Hexi. General Gao was originally from the royal family and is also the leader of our clan. You see, kid At such a young age, you can actually recognize Gaoshe Chicken?"
Jiang Shuo said: "I have only heard of the name 'Hexi Flying General', but I don't have the guts to meet General Gao."
Gao Xiuyan slid down the pole and said, "It's a pity that the old general has passed away a long time ago. His son is currently the deputy governor of Anxi and the military commander of the four towns. He is even more prominent than his grandfather."
Gao Xiuyan seemed to have forgotten that the two of them had fought just now, and started chatting with Jiang Shuo.
Some people died, but not completely...
