Chapter 213 Lu Bu vs Huang Zhong
"What did Your Majesty bring me here to do?" Early in the morning, Lu Bu was brought to the craftsmanship house by Liu Xie, which is the base camp of the Ministry of Works.
Although Liu Xie established the Ministry of Works and also gave official titles, not to mention those scholars and officials, even generals like Lu Bu always felt that this place was not very compatible with his identity. If it weren't for Liu Xie's leadership, Lu Bu wouldn't have come here at all.
"The war is about to go to the battlefield, and I asked the Ministry of Works to prepare something for Mr. Wen, which may be useful." Liu Xie smiled mysteriously. Master Pu Yuanpu had already come to him. He is now a master craftsman in the Ministry of Works and the only craftsman with official titles. Although his status is still low compared to the ministers and ministers in the court, he still cannot hide the pride of spring spirit.
"See Your Majesty." Master Pu stepped forward and bowed to the people. In addition to Lu Bu, there were Guo Jia, Huang Zhong and several guards.
"How are you ready for what I asked you to build?" Liu Xie, led by Pu Yuan, came straight to the wide square outside the craftsman's house and asked.
"According to Your Majesty's instructions, over the past few days, the craftsman has built tens of thousands of sets of horse harnesses. Because Chang'an war horses are limited, only a thousand horses are equipped with horse harnesses." Master Pu said.
"Not enough!" Liu Xie shook his head and said, "This time, I will mobilize 16,000 war horses. Within fifteen days, these war horses will be mobilized one after another, and they will be equipped with these war horses within fifteen days."
"This..." Pu Yuan felt sweat on his forehead when he heard this. In other words, he not only had to work to produce 6,000 horses within fifteen days, but also had to equipment 15,000 war horses. The workload was a bit too high.
"I know it's a bit difficult, but the matter is urgent. I'll add more staff and work day and night." Seeing Pu Yuan's embarrassment, Liu Xie said.
"My memory, do your best!" Pu Yuan said with a wry smile.
"Your Majesty, what exactly is it?" Lu Bu looked at Liu Xie with a confused look on his face, not knowing what they were talking about.
Liu Xie glanced at Pu Yuan, and Pu Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and asked a craftsman to bring a pair of horse harnesses and said, "Look at Wen Hou, these are the horse harnesses created by His Majesty. Equipment on the war horses can enhance the combat power of the warriors."
"These?" Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and looked at the horse harness held by the craftsman, four U-shaped iron pieces, one bridge-like thing, and two rings hanging on the bridge, and said hello with one head.
"It may be difficult for the general to understand this explanation, so why not give it a try?" Pu Yuan tentatively said.
"Okay." Lu Bu nodded, turned his head to look at Huang Zhong and said, "Hansheng, how about you and I have a chance to have a fight? You can use those horse harnesses, and some riding an ordinary war horse to compete with you."
Chitu's words are a bit bullying. Lu Bu had fought with Huang Zhong before, and it was difficult to decide the winner within Lily. Of course, outside Lily, Huang Zhong was already past his peak years after all. Even if he had the talent to become stronger and stronger, it was difficult to compare with Lu Bu in his heyday.
"I can't ask for it!" Huang Zhong nodded.
The two came out with Liu Xie, only brought swords and not weapons for horse fighting. However, this place was a craftsman, so there was naturally no shortage of weapons. Lu Bu picked up a crescent halberd, and Huang Zhongze took a thick-backed mountain knife from the weapon stand. Someone had already brought a war horse with horseshoes, saddles and stirrups. On the other side, Lu Bu also asked the accompanying people to lead a war horse.
The two of them rolled over the horse. Huang Zhong subconsciously clamped the horse's belly with his legs, but his feet naturally stepped into the stirrups.
"This..." Although it was just a slight change, Huang Zhong immediately felt the mystery. He didn't have to work hard to tighten the horse's abdomen with his legs, and the saddle could greatly increase his stability on the horse's back, and his whole body strength could be fully burst out.
He tried to step on his feet, and Huang Zhong was surprised to find that with these two equipment, he could stand up on his back effortlessly. He raised his eyebrows and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes when he looked at Lu Bu.
Liu Xie did not stop the two of them from the competition, but instead brought a chair. Although it was not a group battle, it was impossible to fully utilize Lu Bu's ability. However, facing Huang Zhong, who was close to 100, Lu Bu's War God's talent was automatically +1, plus the martial arts value of Ji God +2, Lu Bu's martial arts value automatically soared to 103. Even in this state, Huang Zhong was only relying on the sword master and it was difficult for him to beat Lu Bu without any bonus.
"Come on!" Lu Bu shook the crescent halberd in his hand and looked at Huang Zhong who was facing him.
"Okay!" Huang Zhong shouted loudly, his legs gently knocked on the horse's belly, and the war horse began to move forward slowly. After all, it was not a real battle on the battlefield, and it was mainly a competition. There was no need to exert the speed of the war horse to its limit.
The two approached like walking in the garden. At the moment of getting closer, a vicious aura suddenly appeared on Huang Zhong's body, and the thick-backed mountain-slashing knife in his hand slashed towards Lu Bu with a calm and steady aura.
"Good come!" Lu Bu didn't take action for many days and felt uncomfortable all over. At this moment, he met a top general like Huang Zhong, and he suddenly became excited. The crescent halberd blew around and brought a silver fog to meet Huang Zhong's thick-backed sword.
"Clang~"
With a muffled sound, the two of them shook their bodies, but Huang Zhong stabilized their bodies faster than Lu Bu. A look of excitement flashed in his eyes. In Lu Bu's astonished gaze, his whole body stood up from the back and slashed at Lu Bu on his head.
Without caring about how the other party stood up, Lu Bu's body fell and a move of Su Qin's sword, erected the Crescent Sphur on his back, blocking Huang Zhong's slash. He then exerted force with one arm, shook Huang Zhong's knife open, and a jade belt wrapped around his waist. The Crescent Sphur turned around his waist and slashed at Huang Zhong in the waist.
Huang Zhong quickly withdrew his sword and protected himself by failing to hit Lu Bu. He took back the thick-backed sword before Lu Bu, closed the opponent's slash, and then slashed out with three consecutive swords in a stacked wave style. This sword technique was realized by him on the bank of the Yangtze River. It was extremely powerful, but it had extremely high requirements for speed and strength. It was usually impossible to use it on the horse's back. This time, it was the first time to use the power of the stirrup to use it on the horse's back.
Even with Lu Bu's ability, he was a little embarrassed by this knife. He barely blocked the opponent's thick-backed sword, and then slashed and hung it, launching a fierce counterattack. Seeing that his move failed to achieve success, Huang Zhong quickly retracted the sword to protect himself. He was a master of swordsmanship. Although he was not as brave as Lu Bu, he was determined to defend himself at this moment, but he was not moved as if a rabbit was pulling a tortoise and had no idea to start.
Taking advantage of Lu Bu's anxiety, Huang Zhong suddenly made two backhand swords, which almost made Lu Bu's formation mess. Even so, he was forced to be embarrassed by Huang Zhong's two swords, so he had to calm down and tremble with Huang Zhong.
Two war horses circled over the Jiangfang Square. The two fought for half an hour and fought for nearly two hundred rounds, but they were not sure of the winner. If it were normal, Huang Zhong would not be able to continue after eighty rounds. But at this moment, the two fought for two hundred rounds. Although Huang Zhong was already out of breath, Lu Bu was also very tired.
Although it was a competition, this battle between dragons and tigers was dazzling in the eyes of others. The danger was that even Liu Xie was sweating coldly when he saw it. Several times, he thought that the two of them were going to die together, but the final result was not like this.
"Roar~"
Just as he was about to order to stop him, a roar suddenly came from the field. Liu Xie looked up and saw that Huang Zhong had a divine light suddenly appeared in his eyes. The thick-backed knife in his hand seemed slow, as if there was a heavy object hanging, but it strangely brought up a string of afterimages, which faintly revealed a bit of wind and thunder. Lu Bu on the opposite side had a solemn expression, and Fang Tian's painting halberd almost made a mistake and came forward like lightning.
"Clang~"
The two weapons were fast and slow, but strangely collided between the two, making a harsh metal sound, and faintly mixed with a bit of air explosion. Then a wave of air spreads in all directions with the two as the center. The dust visible to the naked eye was pushed into a circle by the air wave, and then exploded in the air.
Even though he was five or six feet away from the center of the battlefield, Liu Xie still felt a wave of air blowing his hair and dancing wildly.
"Huh~"
He slowly breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure accompanied by the air waves made his qi and blood pause for a moment. And Liu Xie, Master Pu, Wei Zhong and others were even more unbearable, and their faces were as pale as paper.
Liu Xie didn't care about this. Just now, the golden bell beat inexplicably in his eyebrows. With a thought, Liu Xie looked at Huang Zhong who was stalemate.
Huang Zhong: General of the Han Dynasty
99, 82, strategy 67, politics 62
Talent: Older
Master of Swordsman
The God of Sword
Arrow God
Breakthrough?
Looking at Huang Zhong's talent, the additional sword god talent and the sword skills that reached the master level, Liu Xie looked at Huang Zhong who was stalemate with Lu Bu, and this was another general who could break through the limits of human beings after the explosion.
"Xilulu~"
At this moment, the war horse under Lu Bu's crotch suddenly made a bitter neigh, his four hooves softened, and he knelt on the ground. Seeing this, Huang Zhong quickly put away his knife. Lu Bu also supported his horse's back and fell aside quickly. He looked at the war horse lying on the ground and said silently.
"This battle is because of the lack of ability in Wen Hou. He really has a great advantage. What if he draws?" Huang Zhong turned over and dismounted and bowed to Lu Bu.
"Losing is losing. On the battlefield, the enemy will not let my life be lost because of a certain war horse's hoof!" Lu Bu threw away the Crescent Sphur with some loss, clasped his fists at Huang Zhong and said, "General Huang is superb in swordsmanship, Bu admires it."
