"Sun!" Wang Zhuo cursed secretly in his heart.

I am drifting off.

In the past, he could be regarded as a good soldier in the army, charging into battle without falling behind, but there was no way he could jump over the heads of his comrades wearing a suit of armor and get ahead.

So when he jumped up from the ladder, in mid-air, he saw a robe standing at his intended foothold. It also means that he now has internal strength, and the coordination of his whole body has been enhanced by more than a degree?

Even though he was wearing armor, Wang Zhuo could still adjust his posture, use his arms, legs and feet to swing forward and move forward half a foot, finally not hitting one of his own.

As for the guy who couldn't hold back his hand and squeezed him, there was nothing he could do about it - not everyone could practice to the point where he could hold his hand freely.

Reflecting in his heart, Wang Zhuo was not slow at all.

He was only on one side of his body, and with the force of staggering forward, the spear thrust made a streak of sparks on his breastplate and slid away. At the same time, Wang Zhuo stepped forward and flew up with a knife in his right hand, slashing the spear in his hand. On the soldier's neck.

Wang Zhuo's knife was fierce and accurate, and it didn't stop until it reached the neck bone of the soldier holding the gun - human bones are very hard, and it is definitely not normal to cut people in half like Lu Wu did.

Half of his neck was cut off, and the gun-wielding soldier managed to whip the spear back, but he could no longer exert any strength. The soft blow hit Wang Zhuo's shoulder armor without causing any damage.

The men and horses who can be responsible for guarding the attack point of the ladder are naturally the elite soldiers among the city defenders.

This gun-wielding soldier was originally a rare expert among soldiers. He used a long spear to attack the enemy. With the cooperation of his comrades, he killed two sergeants Lu Wu who rushed to the top of the city.

Just because Wang Zhuo was protected by armor, he missed a shot, so he was bullied by Wang Zhuo and killed him with a knife.

However, in the chaotic fighting in the army, the death of one person would not cause any splash at all. Wang Zhuo's right hand knife slashed into the gun-wielding soldier's neck before he could pull it out. The left hand knife blocked a long sword piercing the neck, and there was a sword on his side. The famous sword player held his shield in front of him, hid his sword behind the shield, and hit him.

If it had been in the past, Wang Zhuo would have been in a hurry and his focus would have been unstable.

But now, the joints and muscles of his whole body are moistened by the true energy of the Nine Netherworld Sea, and they are as flexible as oil. There is an inexplicable spiritual feeling in his heart, letting him know that the sword player is approaching, and the next step is certain. His body stumbled downwards, then he raised his shield, and the knife thrust out from under the shield, stabbing his knee and leg sockets.

——That’s where the joints are, and the armor is the weakest.

Wang Zhuo didn't rush and flew up with his kick. It was the moment when the sword player's figure fell down and his shield was about to flip over!

————————————————

At this moment, there is a shield blocking the line of sight, and the sword player cannot see Wang Zhuo's movements.

The short sword and shield are the most advantageous in close combat. As long as the shield is used to open the way and squeeze in close, the short sword can exert its maximum power, and the enemy's weapon is forced to the periphery, making it difficult to pose a threat to the sword player.

But this kind of sharp dual-wielding weapon is only used by low-level soldiers in the army.

Because this weapon has three fatal weaknesses.

The defensive power of the shield is sufficient, but the lethality is seriously insufficient. Relying on the shield to forcefully approach the enemy and kill them at close range is enough to deal with ordinary soldiers. It is somewhat difficult to deal with soldiers like Wang Zhuo.

People who wear leather armor, mail armor, or iron armor are all called armored men. A short knife can't deal with leather armor, but it's a little more difficult to deal with mail armor. If you want to deal with iron armor, you have to attack joints or places that are not covered by armor.

That's all. The second point is really fatal.

The shield itself has insufficient defensive power.

This may sound like a joke, but is actually a real weakness.

If the shield is too heavy, the defensive power is enough, but the strength required to carry a large iron plate and fight flexibly is extremely amazing - if you have the ability, why not wear a suit of iron armor?

The oar shield hand is the ultimate expression of the shield hand. People also have short swords, but they are just stuck on the waist and are not taken out at all. Daily combat relies on the combined efforts of both hands. Holding a shield that is more than a person tall, you have to stop and rest after walking more than ten steps. Rest, just provide defense, attack is the responsibility of the soldiers behind you.

If you want to charge into battle with this kind of shield, don't even think about it - only a master of Qiu Tong's level can use this kind of large shield with one hand.

And if the shield is not heavy enough - for example, the small round shield used by this sword player is only one and a half feet in diameter and one and a half inches thick. It is just made of solid wood covered with a layer of iron and lined with a layer of animal skin, and it will weigh up to five kilograms. (You can refer to the round solid wood cutting board at home), it is already quite difficult to use with one hand.

It's a military shield like this. If you encounter a brave man with a big ax and a heavy hammer, he will smash it down hard with one ax and one hammer. It can beat the sword player's shield and the arm holding the shield together into a ball of rotten flesh. ——For some sword players, the shield is not broken yet, and the hand holding the shield is shattered first.

As for the third weakness, the shield sometimes blocks the line of sight - not only blocking the line of sight of others, but also blocking one's own line of sight.

——————————————

Just like now, the sword player fell down and raised his shield, blocking his sight. Before he could stab the knife out, a steel boot kicked in from under the shield.

This kick was really caught off guard. The sword player only had time to slightly tilt his head back three points before being kicked in the chin by Wang Zhuo. The bones of his chin immediately shattered, and he flipped upside down and rolled around on the ground. Two of his front teeth flew out, his mouth was bleeding, and he collapsed to the ground.

In modern boxing, a boxer wears a sponge glove as a cushion. If the opponent punches him in the chin, he will be knocked unconscious.

On the battlefield of cold weapons, it would not be surprising to be kicked in the chin with the toe of a steel boot or to be kicked directly to death.

After killing one person and knocking down another, Wang Zhuo stood firm, unfolded his two swords, and followed the person, walking back and forth within a radius of one foot, displaying a continuous sword technique like a torrential rain.

This double-sword technique is not a special skill. Wang Zhuo comes from a humble background and has no place to learn any special skills. It is just the most common iron-cutting double-sword technique in the army.

However, Lu Wu once taught him six techniques for converting force. He specifically taught how to use the shoulder blades of both arms and spine, in conjunction with the subtle changes in the true energy of the Nine Netherworld Sea, to transmit the force from the right hand to the left hand, or how to transmit the force from the left hand. Transformed into the force of the right hand's ejection and slashing.

In Lu Wu's view, this little skill is just the foundation of the basics, but if it falls on Wang Zhuo, who specializes in double swords, his combat power will more than triple?

So at this moment, Wang Zhuo danced the two swords in his palm like snowflakes, jingling faster and faster.

After just swimming around, Wang Zhuo slit the throats of two people with the two knives in his palms, injuring four more people. If someone in the distance hadn't pointed at them with a crossbow arrow, he could have killed one more person.
