Chapter 293 Huang Zhong VS Lu Bu! Who is the best general in the world?
"Defeat in seconds?"
Liu Bian froze on the spot, staring at the scene in the distance in disbelief, and his heart skipped a beat: "Lu Bu is truly worthy of being Lu Bu. A player like Tai Shi Ci can lose at any time. How awesome!"
The voice of the Alliance of Military Advisors followed: "It's very simple, because Lu Bu also knows Taishi Ci's level of archery. If he is allowed to interfere, it will definitely be difficult to win."
"Instead of being passively vigilant, it is better to take the initiative and rely on powerful force to suppress the opponent, and then both parties join forces to deal with Huang Zhong. This is the wisest way."
"Lu Bu may be relatively poor in military tactics and strategy, but his experience on the battlefield is definitely not weak. He knows very well where his advantages lie, so he will use all his strength in the first move to defeat him in the shortest time.
Defeat Tai Shi Ci."
"That's it!"
Liu Bian nodded with interest and suddenly realized: "If this is true, then Huang Zhong may really be doomed. He has caused trouble and will be scrapped so soon."
"really!"
Liu Bian took a deep breath and saw that his heart was racing: "Lü Bu has extremely rich battlefield experience, and his ability to adapt to changes is as good as that of Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci."
"The finals of this equestrian competition really made me get to know these three heroes again, especially Lu Bu, the tiger, who seems to have become more calm."
The military advisor alliance said with a smile: "Did Mr. Bian forget it? The information that Guo Jia sent before, since we started to take exams to obtain soldiers, most of the army has begun to learn the art of war, and Lu Bu is no exception."
"Well, there is such a thing."
Only then did Liu Bian remember the previous information.
After all, there are many children from aristocratic families who know the art of war entering the army, which puts great pressure on these old guys, so they passively enter a state of learning, creating healthy competition.
Survival of the fittest is a natural law, and the same is true for the army. Failure to make progress means regressing. In Liu Bian's military environment where heroes are judged by military merit regardless of their origins, regressing is equal to elimination!
at this point!
Lu Bu knew it all too well.
Liu Bian breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad for the current atmosphere in the military camp. If Lu Bu could really learn the art of war, he might really be able to grow into a strong general in the future!
Liu Bian was looking forward to Lu Bu's performance more and more.
Look up.
Passing by Lu Bu, Tai Shi Ci, and Liu Bian's eyes glanced at Huang Zhong, who was twisting his bow and setting an arrow.
Although Huang Zhong is over 40 years old and is the oldest among the three, he is very resourceful and skilled in martial arts.
As soon as he diverted the disaster to the east, he immediately devoted himself to the task of finding the tiger-striped bird, and accelerated his speed to keep a certain distance from Lu Bu and Taishi Ci.
It's obvious!
He himself also knew that such tactics were only temporary coping strategies and could not last long at all.
Therefore, he must find the only three tiger-striped birds in this short period of time and then shoot them down.
What a coincidence. Lu Bu failed to shoot the tiger-striped bird, but Huang Zhong easily caught up with him. While twisting his bow and arrow, he glanced at Lu Bu and Tai Shi Ci out of the corner of his eye to confirm that there was no danger.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two birds landed one after another.
Whoosh!
A tiger-striped bird followed and landed on the ground.
At this moment, Huang Zhong also shot two tiger-striped birds and became invincible.
But he did not continue to search. Instead, he put away his precious bow and replaced it with the war spear provided in the military camp: "Brother Ziyi, now you and I can kill two tiger-striped birds and become invincible."
"Why don't we join forces to fight against Lu Bu? As long as we delay enough, Lu Bu is only a tiger-striped bird and will definitely lose. You and I will definitely win the finals."
Not far away, Lu Bu was shocked when he heard this and looked up.
really!
A tiger-striped bird lies on the ground.
In other words, there are only two tiger-striped birds left in the sky.
You must shoot them all down to win the finals.
He was startled, and without hesitation, he pressed his other hand forward, and the huge force rushed into Taishi Ci's body along the spear shaft. Taishi Ci was caught off guard, his body tilted greatly, and he subconsciously tried his best to block.
Chi Leng Leng!
Lu Bu had already anticipated Tai Shici's reaction, so he immediately relaxed his strength slightly, flipped his wrist, and the spear tip scurried from the top of the opponent's gun barrel to the bottom like a snake.
If it weren't for the rules of the competition, Lu Bu would definitely have stabbed Taishi Ci to death with one spear. But now, he could only use force in the opposite direction, knocking the Bin Iron Spear in Taishi Ci's hand away on the spot, whirring and spinning, and throwing it into the distance.
"ah?"
Taishi Ci was shocked for a moment.
Lu Bu took action one after another. The war spear passed in front of him, and he pointed it at the saddle with extreme precision. He picked out the bow bag hanging on the saddle, threw it in the air, and then slashed it horizontally with a backhand move.
Peng!
Taishi Ci's precious bow broke on the spot and fell to the ground.
While Lu Bu withdrew his war spear, he shouted in a cold voice: "Boy, you have to thank Your Majesty, otherwise you would have died under my spear. If you are sensible, you would have stood aside. Otherwise, I would rather lose than beat you."
Half dead."
drive-!
After saying this, Lu Bu galloped towards Huang Zhong and said, "Old General Huang, I, Lu Bu, don't want others to scold me for bullying my old soldier. If you and I fight in a decisive battle, I will give you three moves. This can be regarded as the utmost benevolence and righteousness."
"Bullshit!"
The fighting spirit in Huang Zhong's heart was also ignited. He immediately pulled himself together, raised his spear and leaped on his horse, charging straight at Lu Bu: "Although Huang is sad and has gray hair, he is only forty-three years old. He is only a few years older. There is no need to give in."
"It's true!"
Huang Zhong galloped his horse with fierce fighting spirit: "Huang has long wanted to fight with you, the most brave warrior in the world. I have only been idle for a few years. In this world, even a rat dares to rule the roost?"
hiss-!
Not to mention Lu Bu on the field, even Liu Bian who was watching the battle on the stage couldn't help but gasp.
He couldn't believe that Huang Zhong, who was always very polite, could actually say such heart-wrenching words.
The power of water and fire is about to break out!
Even the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
"It's tolerable, but what can't be tolerated!"
Liu Bian took a deep breath and stared at the battlefield with burning eyes.
At the same time, netizens in the live broadcast room were equally excited:
"Holy shit! Huang Zhong VS Lu Bu? The greatest battle of all time has begun."
"Huang Zhong's strength is definitely not weak. He might be able to compete with Lu Bu."
"Now Huang Zhong is only forty-three years old. If a sixty-year-old soldier can fight Guan Yu, can he still defeat Lu Bu?"
"What you are talking about is a romance. No one knows the real Huang Zhong."
"Although I don't know, it's true that he killed Xia Houyuan, and it's true that he can fire a three-stone bow."
"Huang Zhong dares to say harsh words, he must have real ability."
"..."
Even the Alliance of Military Advisors is looking forward to this: "Huang Zhong is using the method of provocation. This old man really wants to use Lu Bu as a touchstone. He is so proud in his bones!"
"That's right!"
Liu Bian was also aware of this: "I was a polite old man before, how could he become so rude all of a sudden? If it's not a provocation, what else is it!"
"This is an old man who refuses to admit defeat!"
Liu Bian became more and more excited, his eyes fixed on the battlefield, and his heart was surging: "In this battle, we will know how Huang Zhong's strength compares to Lu Bu!"
Make a lot of money!
This time I really made a lot of money!
Originally they were just competing in riding and shooting skills, but I didn't expect that there would be an extra surprise. It was really an unexpected surprise to witness Huang Zhong fighting against Lu Bu!
After all, Huang Hansheng, who has always been strong, and even Liu Bian, who is well versed in the Three Kingdoms, have heard about it. There are an explosion of speculations about Huang Zhong's martial arts on various forums.
but......
No one knows what his martial arts skills are.
After all, the two have never really fought, and those posts are just speculation at best.
But it's completely different now. Huang Zhong VS Lu Bu is officially staged. It's clear who is stronger and who is weaker!
"Chop suey!"
The anger in Lu Bu's heart ignited, and he suddenly raised the war spear in his palm, as if he was holding a giant dragon, and with a thunderous momentum, he slammed towards Huang Zhong's head:
"Die to me—!"
"Well done!"
Faced with the banging of Lu Bu's pocket, Huang Zhong showed no fear at all. He mounted his horse to fight. The war spear in his palm shot out diagonally, drew a wonderful curve in the air, and quickly collided with Lu Bu's weapon.
clang-!
Where the two spears met, sparks burst out.
There was a deafening golden roar and a loud explosion.
"this......"
Lu Bu was greatly shocked.
He could clearly feel that there was a terrifying force on the opponent's war spear, like a surging river, rushing along the spear shaft and both arms, impacting his body.
Only then did Lu Bu realize that although Huang Zhong had white hair, his skills in his hands were really not weak, especially the strength in his arms. Compared to himself, he was even more powerful than he was!
Without any hesitation.
Lu Bu hurriedly used a clever move to shake off the force. At the same time, he immediately held the spear in both hands and exploded all his strength to the extreme, suppressing Huang Zhong's weapon and preventing him from making any progress.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Hoho—!
The soldiers outside the arena roared and cheered.
Perhaps, even they did not expect that the old man who suddenly appeared was so powerful in martial arts that he could even force Lu Bu to use his hands in the first move.
Especially Cao Xing, a fierce general who was born in Bingzhou, his eyes were as wide as bells, and he was full of shock: "What a Huang Hansheng, he is so brave, I admire Cao Xing."
No one understands Lu Bu's terror better than Cao Xing, so when this scene appeared, no one was more shocked than him. Lu Bu, who was able to suppress the heroes of Bingzhou, was actually forced to look like this by an old pawn?
"sharp!"
Han Dang, who was beside him, had also seen Lu Bu's abilities.
During the battle at Guangcheng Pass, Sun Jian and Zhang Liao were needed to fight on an equal footing with Lu Bu.
Unexpectedly!
Today, a casual old pawn forced Lu Bu to fight with both hands in the first move.
How could such a scene not shock Han Dang: "At such an age, he can be on par with Lu Bu. If he were two years younger, I'm afraid Lu Bu would never be his match."
Sun Ce, the little overlord, was greatly shocked. The confidence he had built before suddenly collapsed at this moment.
Before coming here, he wanted to win a championship and go back so that he could make his father proud.
But I never thought...
He didn't even make it to the finals, but now Lu Bu is being pitted against Lu Bu by an old pawn, which makes him feel burning pain on his face. How come he, the little overlord, is not as good as an old pawn?
"Damn it!"
Sun Ce gritted his teeth.
He secretly made up his mind that after returning, he must practice martial arts vigorously and never let it go to waste. Even if he is not as good as Lu Bu and Huang Zhong, he must at least catch up with that powerful general named Tai Shi Ci.
...
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The golden sound exploded, and the sparks burst out.
On the battlefield, Lu Bu and Huang Zhong went back and forth for more than ten rounds.
It is difficult to determine the winner between the two sides, and it is even more difficult to decide the winner. If you really meet your opponent in chess, you will meet a good talent.
The duel between the two attracted the attention of the whole army and even made netizens in the live broadcast room excited.
Even the experts from the Military Advisor Alliance refused to let go: "Master Bian, the experts have begun to use intelligent programs to analyze the data of Lu Bu and Huang Zhong."
"According to the feedback data, Lu Bu has reached 80% of his maximum combat power at Guangcheng Pass. He is obviously going all out."
"but......"
A magical twist from the Alliance of Military Advisors: "Huang Zhong can actually keep up with Lu Bu's pace, and can even fight on a par with Lu Bu, which is enough to prove that his comprehensive data is not inferior to Lu Bu's."
Liu Bian was very excited: "This time I really made a profit! If Huang Zhong's strength is not inferior to Lu Bu, can we consider handing over the Wolf Cavalry to Commander Huang Zhong?"
"after all!"
Liu Bian was afraid that the experts would misunderstand him, so he quickly added: "Huang Zhong has a calm personality and is proficient in the art of war. In terms of soft power, he is stronger than Lu Bu."
The Alliance of Military Advisors knew that Liu Bian was motivated by justice rather than his own likes and dislikes, and they were deeply grateful: "Master Bian has made progress again, but how to choose a general in the end depends not only on ability, but also on the overall situation."
"Although the Tiger Cavalry cannot build an army for the time being, the Wolf Cavalry and the Leopard Cavalry have different functions and have different requirements for the general. The Wolf Cavalry focuses on the general's combat effectiveness because of the wolf pack's tactical considerations."
"but......"
The military-strategist alliance immediately transferred to the Leopard Cavalry: "The Leopard Cavalry often has to go deep behind enemy lines to pursue and expand the results of the battle. Because of the small number of troops, it is very likely that the opponent will counterattack."
"In this case, the commander must be wise and courageous, have strong adaptability, and have good command skills. Otherwise, instead of expanding the results, he will take the initiative to lose his life."
"The preliminary plan drawn up by experts on behalf of Mr. Bian is that Huang Zhong will be the commander of the Leopard Cavalry and Lu Bu will be the commander of the Wolf Cavalry. When a more suitable candidate is available in the future, Huang Zhong will be replaced. After all, he is old and should go.
The way to lead."
"As for the successor of the Leopard Cavalry, we can consider Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, Ma Chao and others. If Lu Bu can't handle it anymore, the Wolf Cavalry can be handed over to the commander of Ma Chao, the same can be done."
Well......
Liu Bian was extremely embarrassed.
Zhao Yun and Ma Chao were already considering selecting generals before they knew where they were.
The Alliance of Military Advisors really doesn’t take the princes of the world seriously!
How much confidence does it take to plan in advance to this extent?
Liu Bian was so impressed that he fell to the ground and thought to himself: "Teacher, by the time I can get Zhao Yun and Ma Chao into my pocket, I guess times have changed a long time ago. Do I still need the Leopard Cavalry and the Wolf Cavalry?"
The Military Advisor Alliance said softly: "Cavalry is never out of date in any era. Even in modern times, there are still regular cavalry battalions. If experts dare to plan like this, it must be meaningful. Don't worry."
Liu Bian breathed a sigh of relief: "That's true."
"Wen Ruo."
Immediately, Liu Bian turned to look at Xun Yu: "How many rounds has it been?"
Xun You took a deep breath: "No less than thirty rounds."
"The winner hasn't been decided yet?"
"Well, no."
"How long is that left?"
"About a quarter of an hour."
Liu Bidan smiled and shook his head awkwardly: "It seems that Lu Bu has no chance of winning this time. There is only a quarter of an hour left. Whether we can find the tiger-striped bird is another matter."
"That's right."
Xun You nodded, twisted his beard and said, "Even if Lu Bu can find the tiger-striped bird, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to shoot it down with Huang Zhong interfering."
"That's good."
Liu Bian turned his head and glanced at Xun You with a smile on his face: "Lü Bu has been invincible for too long. It will be of some benefit to him to let him know that there are people outside the world and there is a sky outside the world."
Xun You naturally understood the deep meaning of His Majesty the Emperor's words and bowed his head: "I wonder, Your Majesty, to whom are you going to hand over the Wolf Cavalry?"
Liu Bian took a deep breath: "Oh? Does Wen Ruo have any objections?"
Xun You said softly: "I do have some opinions."
"Tell me and listen."
"Here."
Xun You responded and pondered for a moment: "Your Majesty, although Huang Zhong can fight on a par with Lu Bu, compared to the Wolf Cavalry, I think he is more suitable for the Leopard Cavalry."
"Or..."
As if he was afraid that the emperor would misunderstand, Xun He hurriedly added: "The Leopard Cavalry, an elite light cavalry, is more suitable for Huang Zhong. After all, this troop needs to be hunted down deeply and isolated without support. It must be wise and courageous."
Hey young.
Liu Bian couldn't believe his ears.
Unexpectedly, Xun Yu's opinion was exactly the same as that of the Military Advisor Alliance: "Well, what you said makes sense. I mean the same thing. General Huang is a leader in terms of martial arts and ability to adapt to changes."
"The Leopard Rider is indeed more suitable for him!"
"but......"
Liu Bian took a deep breath and then said: "Old General Huang is old and will be retiring in a few years. He cannot always stay in the position of the leader of the Leopard Cavalry and should develop in the direction of the commander-in-chief.
"
"Let Taishi Ci serve as his deputy. In three to five years, maybe the Leopard Cavalry can be handed over to Taishi Ci, and General Huang can withdraw and become the commander-in-chief."
Xun or bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty has profound thoughts, and you are not as good as a humble minister."
Liu Bidan smiled: "Let's continue watching the battle. Let's decide the winner first."
Xun or nodded: "Here."
now.
In the battlefield.
Lu Bu obviously realized that he had little time left, but it was difficult to defeat Huang Zhong in a short period of time.
As a last resort, he could only turn his horse around and gallop further away, trying to rely on the speed advantage of the red toad horse to completely leave Huang Zhong behind.
I have to admit that Lu Bu really threw Huang Zhong away due to his superiority in war horses and riding skills. However, it was a pity that the tiger-striped bird had long since disappeared, and in the end, Lu Bu still could not find it.
clang-!
The crisp gong sounded.
The equestrian competition finals has officially ended.
All the military generals gathered in front of the general stage, waiting for the final award ceremony by His Majesty the Emperor.
After a long time, Xun You walked up to the stage, glanced at the soldiers below, and said loudly: "Today, the first year of Zhongxing, the first cavalry competition officially ended."
"After the preliminary rounds, semi-finals, finals, and finals, the first cavalry competition was finally decided. Three outstanding cavalry generals, they are..."
Speaking of this, Xunhe raised his voice by an octave and said loudly: "The champion Huang Zhong, the runner-up Taishi Ci, and the third runner-up Lu Bu, please invite these three generals to go up to the general platform to receive the awards, and your Majesty will personally award them."
Winter! Winter! Winter!
Dongdongdong—!
The sound of golden drums shook the sky and lasted endlessly.
Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci, and Lu Bu stepped onto the general stage one after another.
Liu Bian stepped forward and handed a golden statue of a war horse with its head raised and a cavalryman reining in his horse to Huang Zhong: "I am shocked by the general's superb archery skills and his ability to adapt to changes in circumstances."
"The general deserves this Golden Cavalry Champion Award."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Huang Zhong received the Golden Cavalry Award and was deeply moved: "In the end, I will do my best to live up to His Majesty's high expectations."
Liu Bian nodded and said, "I believe you! When it's over, go to the racecourse to find Tang Feng, the Grand Stable Commander, and pick out a horse. It should be regarded as an extra gift from me to the general."
Huang Zhong handed over his hand again: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Immediately.
He walked up to Tai Shici and smiled lightly: "The general's riding skills are superb, his archery skills are superb, and his strategic countermeasures in the final battle opened my eyes. The general deserves the runner-up Silver Cavalry Award."
Taishi Ci was so excited that he hurriedly took it: "I will go through fire and water for your majesty, and I will do so without hesitation."
Liu Bien nodded: "Compared with Generals Lu and Huang, your greatest advantage is not your riding and shooting skills, but your youth. Youth is your greatest advantage. Work hard, I believe in your ability."
Being encouraged by His Majesty the Emperor, Tai Shici felt like he was dreaming: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the general will live up to his high expectations."
"kindness."
Liu Bian was extremely sure of this: "How can I not believe you!"
Immediately.
He came to Lu Bu again, took a deep breath, and stared at Lu Bu: "General Lu, you are not convinced?"
Lu Bu shook his head: "If you lose, you lose. There is nothing to admit! If there is a chance in the future, I will win again. I believe that Your Majesty will never judge who is strong or weak based on one victory or defeat."
Liu Bian looked at Lu Bu with great interest: "Although there is dissatisfaction in his words, the general has made great progress compared to before. I am very pleased."
"Although General only won third place this time, if I can make you realize your own shortcomings, it will make me happier than if you won ten championships."
Immediately.
Liu Bian handed the Bronze Horse Award to Lu Bu: "General Lu, how great a person can be does not depend on his strengths, but on his shortcomings."
"If you can overcome the shortcomings in your thoughts, words and deeds, make use of your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, and become the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, it will be just around the corner. I hope you will not let down your military career of more than 20 years."
"Hold it generously!"
Liu Bian took a deep breath and said very solemnly: "Remember my words, take them as a warning, and always keep yourself full of fighting spirit. When you really make up for your shortcomings, I will be able to see it."
The anger in Lu Bu's heart was suppressed by Liu Bian.
He nodded solemnly, reached out to receive the Bronze Horse Award, and said sonorously: "Thank you for your admonition, Your Majesty. I will definitely take it as a lesson to you, and work hard to make up for your shortcomings, so that Your Majesty will not be disappointed."
Liu Bidan smiled and said with absolute certainty: "I believe you!"
Xun You followed up and said: "The eight generals who have reached the finals this time will all receive the Iron Horse Award for Outstanding Riders. I hope that you will continue to work hard and practice your riding and archery skills to achieve greater glory in the coming year."
Under the general stage, all the troops shouted in unison:
