Chapter 524 Fighting in Chengdu (1)
Zhang Ren's arrow came fiercely and instantly reached Liu Jing's side. It was too late to rescue him. Amidst the screams, Liu Jing pulled out the blue light sword and arrived first. The force suddenly accelerated the sword. In an almost impossible situation, he used his backhand sword to slash the sneak attack arrow out.
Liu Jing slowly stood up straight, his face a little ugly. He was obviously outside the range of the crossbow, and there was someone who could shoot such powerful arrows. Liu Jing turned around and looked coldly at the head of the city. At this time, a large group of people stood on the head of the city, one of whom was holding a long bow. Who was this?
A soldier picked up the arrow and handed it to Liu Jing. The arrow had been chopped twice. The tip of the arrow was engraved with the name "Xichuan Zhang Ren". Liu Jing frowned slightly. It was Zhang Ren who shot it. At this time, Zhao Yun urged him to go forward, looked at the arrow shaft, and said lightly to Liu Jing: "This person also used a hundred birds to pay homage to the phoenix."
The casual words Zhao Yun said made Liu Jing understand immediately. This person has a lot of connection with him. He put away the arrow, looked back at the top of the city, and said to everyone: "Go back to the military camp!"
Everyone turned their horses and ran towards the barracks, gradually running away.
Above the city, Zhang Ren held a bow and arrow, staring at Liu Jing tightly, but did not shoot the second arrow. Liu Xun next to him looked back at him and asked with some dissatisfaction: "General Zhang still has a chance, why don't he shoot the second arrow?"
Zhang Ren bowed slightly and said, "Report to the young master, Liu Jing is already prepared, and the second arrow is meaningless."
Liu Xun snorted coldly and turned to walk down the city. However, Zhang Ren watched Liu Jing ride away, and the surprise in his heart still did not disappear.
He could see clearly just now that the moment when Liu Jing pulled the sword and slashed the arrow, he used the Luofeng technique. His power suddenly accelerated and he cut off his own arrows in an almost impossible situation. The Luofeng technique was so profound and skillful that he was far inferior to him.
'So he is really a subordinate of Yuzhen!' Zhang Ren said to himself...
In the afternoon, the drums were loudly sounded under the city of Chengdu, and Zhao Yun led three thousand Jingzhou soldiers to fight under the city. He shouted loudly: "I am Zhao Zilong, Changshan, and Zhang Ren came out to fight!"
The city was full of soldiers. Zhang Ren stared at Zhao Yun for a while. He turned around and said to Liu Xun: "Please allow me to leave the city and fight!"
Liu Xun hesitated. This is Zhao Yun, who is famous all over the world. Could his general be his opponent?
At this time, Lei Tong beside him bowed and said, "Zhao Yun does not have three heads and six arms, but so, I am willing to go out of the city to fight."
Liu Xun thought about it and agreed, "General Lei should not underestimate the enemy. If he cannot win, he can retreat in time."
Zhang Ren said again: "I am willing to hold the battle for General Lei!"
"Can!"
The drums sounded loudly on the top of the city, the city gate opened, Lei Tong held a snake spear in his hand, and ran out of the horse, followed by a large group of troops, with flags flying, and the momentum was like a dragon. Zhao Yun waved his hand, and his army slowly retreated, stabilizing his position one mile from the city.
The Yizhou army was lined up, and Zhang Ren looked at Zhao Yun from afar. He was in a complicated mood. Although he had never seen Zhao Yun, he knew that Zhao Yun was his junior brother and the closed disciple of his mentor Yu Zhenzi. Zhang Ren was also a family-born martial arts. Since childhood, his grandfather built the foundation for him and laid a solid foundation.
Forty years ago, Yu Zhenren traveled around the world and settled in Qingcheng Mountain. Zhang Ren, a rich family member who was only fifteen years old, went to Qingcheng Mountain to seek a master. Yu Zhenzi accepted him as a lay disciple and taught him martial arts carefully. Unfortunately, Zhang Ren's own martial arts foundation conflicts with Luofeng's skills, which made him unable to fully understand Luofeng's skills, which became Zhang Ren's lifelong regret.
Despite this, Zhang Ren still traveled across Bashu with his superb bird-watching spear for forty years, and became the nickname of the King of Guns in Xichuan, as famous as the King of Guns of Northern Territory. Because the Yizhou family had the saying of Zhang Bayan in Shu, some people who were flirting with Yan Yan and Zhang Ren were called the Northern Sword and the Southern Sword. But in fact, Zhang Ren's martial arts were far better than Yan Yan.
At this time, Lei Tong clasped his fists and said, "General, I am going to fight!"
Zhang Ren nodded, "General Lei is careful."
Lei Tong waved a 40-pound snake spear spear gun and urged his horse to run towards Zhao Yun. The reason why Lei Tong took the initiative to fight was because he and Yang Pei were persuaded by Huang Quan before and became Liu Wei's subordinate. After Liu Wei's defeat, he returned to Chengdu, but he has been criticized. Therefore, he wanted to show himself in front of Liu Xun. Facing Zhao Yun today is also his way of showing off.
Lei Tong is also a powerful general in Bashu, ranking third in martial arts, second only to Zhang Ren and Yan Yan. Especially with a hammer in the gun, he is very distinctive. However, he is brave but not wise and does not understand literary style, so he has never been valued by Liu Zhang and cannot become a general who stands alone, so he can only be a general.
"Don't be crazy, eat my Thunder Tong spear!" The Thunder Tong war horse rushed to Zhao Yun's eyes in an instant, and was distracted and stabbed, with a very rapid momentum.
Zhao Yun frowned. It was not Zhang Ren. He came to fight. He wanted to meet Zhang Ren for a while. He also heard from his master Yu Zhenren that he had several famous apprentices in his early years, one was Gongsun Zan in Peking, one was Zhang Xiu in Wuwei, and the other was Zhang Ren in Bashu. Zhao Yun was a person who valued love. He followed Gongsun Zan in his early years because he had a friendship with Gongsun Zan.
But at this time, Zhao Yun was not thinking about it. Lei Tong's spear tip had already stabbed in front of him. He felt that it was fierce. The general in front of him seemed to have some ability. Moreover, he immediately had an eight-edged sledgehammer. He had never seen it before. Zhao Yun did not dare to look down on him, urged the horse to run away, and raised the spear outward. With a loud bang, he knocked the spear open, and then shook the spear and stabbed the front chest of Lei Tong.
Lei Tong's arms were numb because of shock, and he was secretly surprised. Zhao Yun held a silver spear in his hand, but he didn't expect that he had such great strength. Seeing that Zhao Yun stabbed his chest with a shot, the speed was not fast, but a powerful force covered him, leaving him with no way to hide.
After all, Lei Tong is also an experienced general. He changed to his left hand to hold the spear, pulled out the eight-edged purple gold hammer with his right hand, and with the sound of wind, he hit Zhao Yun's gun with a fierce hammer. This hammer seemed plain, and it contained in it. Lei Tong had learned hard for ten years of hard work, and the hammer hit him every time.
But Zhao Yun's spear suddenly disappeared like a phantom, causing Lei Tong to smash the air with one hammer. This was something that Lei Tong had never encountered before. He was shocked and his body suddenly lost its balance. Although this was only an imbalance for a moment, it was enough for a top master like Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun shot with a backhand, and swept Lei Tong's back with the momentum, leveraging the force to increase Lei Tong's imbalance. Lei Tong couldn't sit on the horse and fell off the horse. He was about to get up, but Zhao Yun's cold spear tip had already pressed against his throat, making him unable to move.
"Tie it for me!" Zhao Yun shouted coldly.
Several soldiers rushed forward and tied up Lei Tong. Zhang Ren opposite him saw that Zhao Yun had just taken Lei Tong over in just two rounds. He was shocked and urged his horse to rush forward, "Zhao Yun, let him go!" Zhang Ren shouted, and rushed forward with a big gun. Zhao Yun waved his silver spear and blocked Zhang Ren's way. He stared at Zhang Ren and asked, "Are you Zhang Ren in Xichuan?"
"That's right!"
Seeing that Lei Tong had been captured by the soldiers and was unable to save him, Zhang Ren calmed down, looked at Zhao Yun, and asked inexplicably, "Are you a Mu Gun?"
Only the children in Luofeng Sect will understand this sentence. Yu Zhenzi has a characteristic of teaching disciples. He pays attention to the five elements to go to school according to each person's qualifications, that is, it is divided into metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Each person's specific methods of practicing Luofeng's exercises are different.
For example, Zhao Yun practices cutting wood, so it is called a wooden spear, Liu Jing practices in water, so it is called a water spear, and Zhang Ren practices ironwork, so it is called a golden spear.
In addition to paying attention to learning the five elements, there is also the dual cultivation of yin and yang. The technique of falling phoenixes is Yin, the spear of hundreds of birds paying phoenixes is Yang, the internal cultivation is Yang, and the external cultivation is Yang, and the yin and yang can achieve great martial arts.
Zhao Yun laughed, "If Senior Brother can compete with me for twenty rounds, I will release this person." He turned around and pointed the gun at Lei Tong.
Zhang Ren's face turned hot, and Zhao Yun actually called him senior brother, but the sentence "Twenty rounds" made him a little annoyed. He said coldly: "Then I'll learn it!"
He shouted loudly, and Feng nodded in one move, stabbing Zhao Yun straight in front of the chest. This is also the rule of Luofeng Sect. When his fellow disciples practice martial arts, the first move must be Feng nodding. Although Zhang Ren was angry that Zhao Yun looked down on him, he still admitted that they were fellow disciples.
Zhao Yun also shook his gun, and seven spearheads flashed out, and picked out Zhang Ren's spear. This was called Qifeng's Ring, which was the respect of the younger generation to the seniors. Zhang Ren's face was a little slow, and he shouted loudly, and the two fought fiercely.
Just in the team not far away, Liu Jing immediately watched the battle between Zhao Yun and Zhang Ren under a big flag.
In fact, it was his proposal to ask Zhao Yun to challenge Zhang Ren. In the southern part of Yizhou, he successfully subjugated Yan Yan and thus received support from the three Badi counties and even Jiangyang County. If he could subjugate Zhang Ren, he would be able to receive support from the northern Shu family, which was of great significance to him stabilizing Bashu.
It was precisely for this reason that Liu Jing tried to resolve Zhang Ren's hostility from the friendship between his classmates, so that Zhao Yun would be more meaningful than himself.
While thinking, the battle between Zhao Yun and Zhang Ren has gradually become a victory or defeat. After the two fought for sixteen or seventeen rounds, Zhang Ren could no longer support him. Zhang Ren actually knew in his heart that in the tenth round, Zhao Yun could take him down, but he let him go and gave him enough face.
In the 19th round, Zhao Yun knocked a gun hammer with his backhand and accurately hit Zhang Ren's gun tip. With a "click", Zhang Ren's gun tip suddenly broke. Zhang Ren's arms were sore and the gun rod flew away. He was shocked and fled, but he was still a step slower. Zhao Yun stabbed him in the back with a gun. He was about to stab, but Zhao Yun suddenly stopped his gun and did not chase him. He watched Zhang Ren escape into the city.
The Yizhou army fled back to the city in a panic. The suspension bridge was pulled up, the city gate was closed, and arrows were fired in a row on the city to prevent Jingzhou from approaching. Zhao Yun raised his spear high, and the three thousand troops immediately cheered, beat the victory drum, and slowly retreated to the camp.
Zhang Ren rushed into the city, still in shock. He thought of what Zhao Yun said, and the battle ended within twenty rounds. As expected, this shows that Zhao Yun’s martial arts are far superior to him, which made Zhang Ren very depressed.
He also knew in his heart that if it were Ma Chao or Xu Chu, there would be no problem with him fighting for thirty or forty rounds, but he and Zhao Yun were the same disciples, and both sides knew the roots and the differences in essence would make the other party catch the loopholes. He couldn't help but sigh softly.
"General Zhang!"
Zhang Ren suddenly heard Liu Xun's voice behind him. When he turned around, he saw Liu Xun standing behind him and looking at him with a smile. He quickly turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and said, "I am incompetent and unable to rescue General Lei. Please punish me!"
