Chapter 241 The Last Roar 1
Zhuge Jun fell from the horse's back and fell to his nose and face. The sword in his chest almost made him irritated. He coughed violently for a long time before he recovered. He stood up with difficulty and stared at Li Rui with an expression of seeing a ghost.
Li Rui had already strangled the war horse and slowly walked up to him with the broken sword in his hand, and asked with a smile: "How is it? Is the sword useful on the battlefield?"
Zhuge Jun blushed and said, "But I also hit you in the head with one knife. At most, we will die together. You didn't win, and I didn't lose!"
Li Rui pointed to his helmet: "However, I am wearing an iron helmet. Can you cut the iron helmet in half with your sword? Can you still kill me after cutting off the iron helmet?"
Zhuge Jun was immediately suffocated.
Li Rui said: "You can't do it, but if the real sword I used, the sword just now would be enough to make you feel cold!"
Zhuge Jun believed that Li Rui only used a wooden sword, and that attack almost made him lose his anger. After changing to the steel sword, his armor could not be blocked at all, so he would not have to stab him in the same way as the armor!
Without having enough martial arts to be used, the other party defeated the simplest style that could even be said to be almost a rural man fighting. Zhuge Jun was both embarrassed and angry, and said with his neck, "I don't accept it, I want to fight you again!"
Li Rui nodded: "Yes. Who is here to bring the weapons!"
The auxiliary soldier immediately gave him a wooden knife and a wooden sword, and helped Zhuge Jun on the horse again.
Then repeat the process just now, each riding his horse and walking a hundred steps towards the other party, then turning his head, and launching a charge towards the other party at the same time...
Bang! Bang!
Two muffled sounds were almost indistinguishable. In the midst of lightning, Li Rui's sword-holding hand and shoulder were hit hard, grinning in pain, while his wooden sword stabbed Zhuge Jun hard in the chest and stabbed him down from the horse's back.
Zhuge Jun coughed violently, and his breathing became smooth, and he shouted: "I hit your shoulder, your elbow is ruined!"
Li Rui nodded: "It's really useless, but you're dead."
In other words, Zhuge Jun bet on his life in this round and only replaced one of Li Rui's arms.
Zhuge Jun was stunned for a long time and gritted his teeth and said, "Come again!"
Both sides threw away the broken wooden sword and sword, replaced it with the best, and once again launched a charge towards the other party.
Bang! Bang!
This time, Zhuge Jun slashed Li Rui's cheekbones on the left cheek, but Li Rui was still the same, stabbed him in the chest with a sword, knocking him down.
Li Rui kept sucking the cold air. This weak calf was so cruel that it hurt him so much!
However, as a captain, he still had to endure the pain, otherwise how could he maintain his majestic image? He held the horse and looked at Zhuge Jun. He was about to speak, but the guy had already snatched his lines in dejectedly:
"I know, I can't cut off my helmet and cut off half of your head. At most, it will make you break the surface, and your sword is enough to make me feel cold!"
Li Rui asked with a smile: "Will you come?"
Zhuge Jun said depressedly: "If you don't come, repeating it a hundred times will be the same result, it's meaningless!"
He had already seen that Li Rui had the only one, that was to hold the long sword in the flat and pointed straight at your chest and wait for you to hit you. Of course, in this process, it would also be adjusted to a certain extent according to the reaction you made. Anyway, no matter what, the posture of the straight stab remains unchanged. This may be a variant of gun charge, which is very simple, incredibly simple, but with such a simple trick, he could not crack it. Two war horses were speeding towards each other at a speed of 30 to 40 kilometers per hour, and the time when the knights on the horse came into contact was only in a flash. Li Rui had probated the long sword long before the close forces met, and took all the initiative. He left him with only two choices, either choosing to dodge and lose the opportunity to attack, or choosing to attack!
And he chose to attack.
But the result of the attack was difficult to satisfy him. Everyone was wearing iron armor and could not cut open with one-handed straight knife, but the long sword could use the powerful kinetic energy given by the galloping horse sprint to stab him in the opposite direction! In other words, even if he used his energy to attack Li Rui, the best result would be that Li Rui was injured, and he would definitely die!
He said a little annoyed: "Captain, do you only know this trick? Can you change the trick?"
Li Rui smiled and said, "This move is enough! The two cavalrymen faced the rushing head-on, and the time they could provide for the attack was just a flash of lightning. How exquisite tricks can you use in such a short time?"
Zhuge Jun said: "But the battlefield is not a single fight, and it is even more impossible for war horses to move at high speed all the time. If your speed slows down, will anyone still silly hit the tip of your sword?"
Li Rui said: "This is why I asked you to wear one more sword instead of forcibly asking you to only carry a sword."
He dismounted, reached out to pull Zhuge Jun up, and said, "Actually, you are not wrong. The most ideal weapon in the melee of joining the army is indeed weapons such as long swords and hammers. Cutting and stabbing to death, the long sword can create a terrible wound on a person in a swing. Even if he does not die for a while, he will lose his combat power due to a lot of blood loss, bones, tendons being cut off, and terrible severe pain. In a one-to-one or even one-to-many melee, the knife is very useful, and the sword is useless."
Zhuge Jun felt a little bit sad, but he was still confused: "But why do you knock me off every time?"
Li Rui said: "This is the second situation of cavalry combat. As you said, war horses are not always moving at high speed, but similarly, cavalry are not always stuck in the enemy's piles to fight with others. Facing the rushing is an indispensable procedure for every cavalry battle. Let you equip your long swords, hoping that when you encounter enemy heavy armored cavalry, lose your horse spear and cannot cut it, you can use a long sword instead of the horse spear to launch a charge towards the opponent, use a frontal stab to penetrate the opponent's armor, give the opponent a fatal blow, and strive to destroy the opponent's formation before entering the melee, and destroy their courage."
He always believed that melee was to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred by themselves. No matter how well equipped or strong martial arts were, it would be difficult to escape once he was involved in a melee. Melee is inevitable, and there is no way to do this, but he could find a way to reduce the time of melee and the number of people involved in the melee as much as possible...
For example, the cavalry will kill and injure the enemy to the greatest extent at the moment of hedging. The ones who are rushing in the front are the most brave and powerful in martial arts. If they can severely damage the opponent at the moment of hedging, they will not only greatly weaken the enemy's combat effectiveness, but also cause a huge blow to the enemy's morale, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Who would be so stupid that he could kill the other party with a knife and chop for half a day? We are soldiers, so we have to pay attention to efficiency!
Zhuge Jun only felt that his three views were washed away: "So... this is how the sword is used... It turns out that such a simple move can exert such a terrifying power..."
Li Rui said: "When fighting on the battlefield is not a martial arts competition, why do you need such a gorgeous move? The simpler and more direct attack method is often more effective. It is difficult for fancy things to survive on the battlefield. It is important to know that the way is simple!"
This is not his nonsense. When he was a child, he sharpened his father's cavalry to teach him sword skills and martial arts in the army, hoping to practice strong martial arts and be a hero and righteous person... Wow, who didn't have a dream of martial arts when he was a child? Those veterans taught him, but what he taught made him very disappointed: the whole set of sword skills is only eight attacking moves, eight defensive moves, and several dodging moves; the fighting skills in the army are even simpler, it is nothing more than straight punch hooks, punching, knee-punching, sweeping, kicking, and kicking, plus some elbow strikes, shaking, and moving, which is completely incompatible with his fantasy of his unfathomable martial arts skills!
"Martial arts are not very advanced, there are only a few most effective moves. It is not difficult to learn them. The difficult thing is how to practice hard for ten years, practice each move to the extreme, and make the optimal reaction in an instant based on the actual situation, and combine them into the most powerful attack." The veterans told him this. He didn't believe it very much, but after seeing a veteran from Hebei kicked five red bricks with a punch, he completely believed it.
Is poking feet very complicated and profound? A complicated fart, a profound fart. The most effective trick is to take the opportunity to kick someone's shin or even the knee. However, when you practice until you can break four or five red bricks with one kick, does anyone dare to use their shin and knee to hit it? Unless he wants to fight for the rest of his life. It is not difficult to learn those gorgeous and dazzling routines, but it is difficult to hone the simplest basic skills day after day, year after year, such as sandbags, elastic ropes, speed balls, dumbbells, barbells, etc. This is also the reason why traditional martial arts cannot be used on the ring now, because most people who learn traditional martial arts are just practicing routines. Those routines are indeed very good, but they are useless. They are often knocked down in one encounter.
The arrogant generals of the Tiger Cavalry did not understand the meaning of the four words "The Great Way is Simple", but Li Rui always beat Zhuge Jun to a horse with one stroke and shocked them to discover that they had always thought that swords that were useless on the battlefield could still be used like this, and had such terrible power! They swept away their resistance just now and rushed to choose a sword, and even swung their fists to hit them in order to get a good sword.
What a bunch of fickle guys!
Finally convinced these guys who were more stubborn than donkeys, and Li Rui secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, this kind of sword is not a qualified cavalry sword. It is still too light and too thin. If you want to achieve the effect of being able to penetrate heavy armor, its weight must be at least one kilogram and thicken the sword ridge by half. However, considering that the Hu people don’t have many heavy cavalry in iron armor yet…
