Over the years, he has been able to successfully survive among several major tribes, not because of his own strong force value.
Instead, they rely on being able to find sources from both sides and seek refuge in various places shamelessly.
However, such a man with a low baseline and a soft body still has his advantages, that is, his mind changes very quickly.
For example, when encountering the hammer just now, many generals would probably use their weapons to resist it. In this case, Tan Pingzhi would seize the weakness.
After all, with Lao Tan's strength, most people may not be able to resist him if they want to, or in other words, most people cannot.
However, Zhai Liao is an extremely smart person. He will not confront Lao Tan. With just one glance and face to face, he found that Lao Tan is a ruthless character. So, the moment he attacked, Zhai Liao easily
He ducked and avoided the blow.
That was a thrilling blow!
If it is accidentally hit by a hammer, the entire shoulder will probably be removed.
In that case, Zhai Liao would feel relaxed, and he wouldn't have to fight this battle again. He could just be captured without hesitation.
Zhai Liao dodged the hammer, which was obviously beyond Lao Tan's expectation. His original tactic was to knock the enemy unconscious with one strike. After that, he continued to greet the enemy with the sledgehammer in his other hand, firing his bow left and right, even if it was you.
If you are strong and healthy and can withstand the first blow, then the second blow will definitely cause you serious injuries.
Then Lao Tan would have an absolute advantage.
This kind of trick is something that only Lao Tan can use, and it is completely his unique secret, because other generals, even if they are good at using meteor hammers, can often only swing one.
This tactic of shooting from left to right cannot be used.
However, Lao Tan can rest assured now that he has an heir to this magical and extremely lethal meteor hammer.
what? What?
Where is the heir?
Who asked you to search among the generals of Beifu?
Looking further, in that distant Jingzhou region, isn't Mr. Huan Xuanhuan the most suitable candidate?
You see, you, Tan Pingzhi, have also seen his performance, which has been personally certified by you. His strength is absolutely guaranteed.
Thinking that the unique skill of this pair of hammers might only be left to the naughty and brainless Huan Xuan in the future, Tan Ping had a headache.
However, now that we are on the battlefield, there is no way for Tan Pingzhi to think about this or that.
Since Zhai Liao couldn't be killed with one hammer, he had to find another way.
At this time, Zhai Liao, who had come over slowly, also raised his spear.
No one is vegetarian.
Comparatively speaking, when two people fight alone, the advantage of double hammers is greater, because many cold weapons actually rely on weight to win.
Whose weapon is heavier, in other words, which general can lift the heavier weapon and use it flexibly, then victory will often belong to him.
Zhai Liao's spear is also very useful, but the weight of the spear cannot be compared with the double hammers. Therefore, simply using the spear to block the double hammers in Tan Pingzhi's hand is not a wise choice.
However, as a very commonly used weapon in the cold weapon era, long guns, that is, spears, naturally have advantages.
The tip is sharp, easy to use and move around.
Definitely suitable for a general like Zhai Liao with limited martial arts.
So, after Tan Pingzhi swung the hammers, Zhai Liao acted quickly, raised his spear, and headed straight for Lao Tan's central area!
Even in the late Jin Dynasty, the armor system was very sound. Any place that needed protection was covered with armor. Therefore, generally speaking, the middle part was not easy to be stabbed. This is why General Ma Ma
The key to being able to fight while riding a horse.
If the armor is not strong enough and can easily be broken through by the enemy, then it will be quite dangerous to leave the central part open.
This is almost never allowed on the battlefield.
Therefore, we can see that even in the pre-Qin period, soldiers had armor for protection. This can be verified from the terracotta warriors and horses buried with the First Emperor.
In other words, basically, since the human war model gradually matured, weapons for offense and armor for protection were produced almost at the same time.
Human beings have long realized that fighting a war will result in death, no matter how great the effect is, but within a limited scope, the necessary protection is still required.
As long as some casualties can be reduced, the cost is worth it.
Of course, this is probably only for ordinary soldiers, and for generals like Zhai Liao, ordinary armor is naturally unable to protect safety.
The armors used today are often made up of two pairs of upper and lower pieces, so the splicing point is the waist and abdomen.
With the waist and abdomen as the dividing line, the waist and above can be called the breastplate. This piece of armor is the most important of the entire armor.
When soldiers fight, the vital parts that can be attacked are often concentrated in this area.
Therefore, this piece of armor is generally the hardest, and there is also armor protection below the waist and abdomen.
Although the range is relatively small, this piece of armor can cover approximately the thigh area.
Then, there must be a gap between the two pieces of armor, which was originally used to connect them in series.
Generally speaking, different parts of the armor are connected and fastened with red ropes (it is more or less auspicious on the battlefield, and those who can use red ropes will try to use red ropes.) to connect and fasten them.
Veterans who often fight on the battlefield will know that this place is a loophole in armor protection. As long as you can find the right location, you can probably hit it with one hit.
After all, there are still many important organs at the connection between the waist and abdomen.
And it just so happened that Zhai Liao was such a veteran.
And the weapon in his hand happened to be the most suitable for this tactic. For example, if he replaced it with Tan Pingzhi's sledgehammer, there would be no immediate effect.
After all, swinging the sledgehammer can only cause internal injuries, but cannot cause the enemy to bleed. Even if it does bleed, it is still internal bleeding or spurting blood, and he may not die for a while!
Completely affects the efficiency of the offense.
Tan Pingzhi's shortcomings were also caught by Zhai Liao. He was not a particularly delicate person, and he could quickly adjust his attack method if he failed to succeed.
Therefore, it can be said that it is very disadvantageous to deal with a cunning person like Zhai Liao.
Zhai Liao found the target, shot down, and stabbed directly at the weak point of Tan Pingzhi's armor!
ah!
The meteor hammer is extremely heavy, especially when fighting immediately, people will be more or less in a semi-suspended state.
Even a martial arts master like Lao Tan would inevitably be unable to recover his strength quickly before launching a second attack.
If you want to blame, blame Na He Mai.
It's all his fault that he called Lao Tan here, who was happily rushing to kill on the battlefield, and did some errands to collect the remaining soldiers.
It made Lao Tan lose his temper.
Lao Tan is out of shape, but this is Zhai Liao's opportunity.
You know, Zhai Liao has always been an expert at seizing opportunities. In this life-and-death moment, his combat potential has been stimulated like never before.
As soon as the shot was fired, blood immediately came out.
Tan Pingzhi never expected that Zhai Liao would make such a move. He was completely unprepared and was stabbed in a daze!
With a scream, He Mai in the distance was startled.
What's happening here?
This...Old Tan was actually stabbed!
Still in the vital parts!
"Damn it!"
"How dare you harm Lao Tan!"
Bang!
Thick yellow fog rushed out along with the pungent smell of sulfur and gunpowder!
He Mai galloped towards Lao Tan. As he was marching, he happened to find that the gunpowder in his hand had been ignited.
It must be the good deeds of those filial brothers just now.
OK!
Then look at the gun!
Zhai Liao in the distance fell off his horse in response, and the musket ball completely penetrated his shoulder blade. It can be said that it was tit for tat!
When Zhai Liao landed, the horse's hooves immediately trampled down, horse!
Not just a horse!
It wasn't even just the horses left behind by the rebels. Even the black horse that Zhai Liao rode on gave him a few kicks.
Without mercy.
It's no wonder that the horse was just temporarily brought in by Zhai Liao to make up for the numbers. It was all captured for the purpose of escaping.
In the past, it was neither Zhai Liao's exclusive mount nor had any personal feelings for him. There was no difference in foot feel between ignoring him and stepping on others.
General Niao was pitiful, but no one cared about him.
If he was allowed to be kicked and crushed by the random horses, if he did not die, it would be because of his fate, because God had despised him and was not even willing to accept him.
What if someone dies accidentally?
If he's dead, he's dead. Could it be that the brothers can help him collect his body? He's not that kind, forget it!
The only one who might have any hesitation is probably Tan Pingzhi. Zhai Liao is the leader of the Dingling people after all, and he can be considered a figure.
As a general who faced him head-on, although Tan Pingzhi did not kill him, this credit should also belong to him.
If he wants to get this meritorious service, he must leave Zhai Liao's head as evidence.
However, Lao Tan now had no time to take care of this. He Mai rushed forward, and several brothers managed to pull the injured Lao Tan to a corner of the tower.
"Lao Tan, you say you!"
"Why!"
"I told you a long time ago that you should use muskets and artillery more often. These things are very useful and can keep you safe, but you didn't listen."
Tan Pingzhi's consciousness was blurred, and he was huddled there with a dying breath. He completely lost the look of a reckless big man.
He Mai squatted next to him, looking at his wounds and the blood constantly pouring out of them, and he burst into tears and snot!
Lao Tan is a conservative, and it has been some time since firearms were introduced into the Jin army. Under Wang Mi's promotion, many soldiers, whether voluntary or involuntary, gathered together and actively learned to use firearms.
In this regard, Lao Tan will naturally not lag behind.
In fact, he has been able to use firearms for a long time and understands how powerful firearms are. However, when it comes to the battlefield and real scenes, he still likes to use broadswords and spears.
Especially the pair of meteor sledgehammers he is good at wielding are even more difficult to part with.
Who makes him an emotional person?
Nostalgic, I always feel that he is a person who has come from the era of cold weapons. For so many years, from north to south, from south to north, these weapons have been accompanying him all the way.
These weapons are his favorite things and are his talismans!
He cannot abandon them at will. Abandoning them is like abandoning himself.
So, on the battlefield, Tan Pingzhi remained the same as before, preferring to use cold weapons, especially his pair of big hammers.
Ordinary days, of course, don't matter.
After all, Lao Tan's martial arts skills are superb and his hammer skills are shrewd, so even ordinary people can't beat him.
However, when encountering such a difficult nut as Yongzhou City, the drawbacks of not liking the use of firearms became apparent in a regular battle.
Looking at Tan Pingzhi lying there, He Mai couldn't help but feel sad.
"Lao Tan, we are all brothers who started from Jingkou. We have agreed that we will be crowned kings and knights together. How can you leave us now and go on your own?"
"Old Tan!"
He Maiwa cried loudly and lay on Lao Tan's body and cried hard. The soldiers around him were also infected and couldn't help but burst into tears.
General Tan is a good man!
Despite being bad-tempered and loud-mouthed at times, he loved soldiers as much as his own son and had an upright temperament. As long as he had everything to eat, the brothers who followed him would never worry about their own livelihoods.
Tan Pingzhi is such an open-minded person!
Such a person will naturally be loved by everyone, especially in the army, where he will be echoed by everyone.
Tan Pingzhi's collapse here seems to confirm that sentence, which is that nothing in this world can always go well.
Now, with the battle going so smoothly, Yongzhou City is almost in the hands of the Jin army, and victory is almost within reach!
However, at this moment, the brothers who started their business together, Lao Tan and Tan Pingzhi, fell into a pool of blood!
He fell before dawn, the moment before the victory song sounded!
No one could accept this reality. The more He Mai thought about it, the angrier he became, and a feeling of sadness and anger surged up in his chest instantly.
He wants to kill!
He wants to go on a killing spree!
Puff puff!
Ahem!
What's happening here?
Where did the sound come from?
He Mai followed the sound, raised his head and searched all the way up, only to discover...
"Old Tan!"
"Old Tan, you are still alive!"
"Who said I'm dead?"
"You clueless ghost!"
"Yes, you are right, everything you said is right!"
"I'm a ghost. It's okay for me to be a ghost."
"However, your wound..."
After all, He Mai was still a newcomer to the battlefield and was not familiar with many situations. Tan Pingzhi took a breath, pointed to his waist and said, "It's a lot, thanks to it."
"This is why God spares my life!"
He Mai took off Lao Tan's armor and saw that there was an iron piece placed on the waist and abdomen. Although the iron piece was very thin and not big, it was still protecting the vital parts of the pillar.
Already.
It can be seen that Zhai Liao's shot was indeed at a tricky angle and with great force. It almost hit the small gap where the two pieces of armor were connected.
It can be seen that Zhai Liao is indeed a fierce general, and he has a very clear understanding of the weaknesses of generals.
Once a move is made, it is a killing move, and it is aimed at killing people.
Fortunately, Lao Tan was prepared in advance, otherwise, this little life would have been buried here, because the iron piece slipped, and the spear did hit Lao Tan's vital part.
However, it was lightly scratched from one side, and it did not really hurt Lao Tan's organs. It looked like there was a lot of bleeding, but in fact it was just a flesh injury.
