Chapter 44 Guan Yu: Why do I feel like a scoundrel?
"Zilong, listen to me. When the fight starts, don't worry about Lu Bu. Just shoot Guan Yu. That man has a congenitally shot holy body. His archery skills are average, and his defense is also average. He will be easier to break through than Lu Bu and Zhang Fei!"
Zhao Yun was stunned.
But he didn't say much, clasped his fists and said, "Understood!"
They rode their horses to the front of the two armies, and Lu Bu and his two companions had already walked out.
Lü Bu didn't even bring his Fang Tian Hua Ji, but only a nine-stone bow and two quivers filled with arrows. Zhang Fei, on the other hand, held a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, standing in front of Lü Bu to block.
But no riding.
The shield was very tall, and even if Lu Bu was riding a horse, he had to hold his head high and chest out to be taller than the shield.
If you lower your head, you will be covered by the shield - this is the essence of "archery fighting". Only with cover can you maximize your strength and create a gap with the enemy.
Holding a shield does not require any skill, but it does require great strength.
As for the person wandering around, he may seem to be just a deputy, but in fact he is the easiest to avoid cover and attack the opponent.
Also easy to be hit by arrows.
Such a fight not only tests strength, but also cooperation.
"Ji Chengtian, in terms of martial arts, I, Lu Bu, am not inferior to you, but you are the direct descendant of the Emperor of Man, with unparalleled divine power. I am no match for you in a battle on the battlefield. But as a military commander, if I am not proficient in archery, I am not worthy of the upper class. Let's fight again today!"
As Lu Bu spoke, he drew his bow and shot an arrow, actively attacking Ji Hao.
But his words made Guan Yu's already red face suddenly even redder: he always felt that Lu Bu was implying something about him.
Although he knows archery, he is not an expert at it.
The sharp arrows flew and attacked in front of him in the blink of an eye. Although Zhou Cang was not good at martial arts, he was very strong. He wielded the two hundred kilograms of steel shield with great force and immediately blocked it.
Ji Hao didn't even need to dodge, but took the opportunity to shoot back with an arrow.
At this time, Guan Yu also shot arrows at Ji Hao and attacked him together with Lu Bu.
The aim was very accurate and went straight to Ji Hao's throat.
But Ji Hao didn't care at all. After shooting an arrow, he retracted his head and hid behind the shield.
The arrow naturally missed.
On the other side, Guan Yu moved left and right, trying to shoot Ji Hao at an angle, while Zhang Fei held up his shield, trying to intercept Ji Hao's arrow and protect ADC Lu Bu.
However, after raising his hand, he found that the opponent did not attack Lu Bu.
Instead, he shot at Guan Yu.
It didn't work immediately, as it was cut in half by Guan Yu's sword.
But at this time, Zhao Yun's arrow also came, still aimed at Guan Yu. Then Ji Hao shot again, and after Zhao Yun shot, the two took turns and threw Lu Bu, the "main C", aside.
Just stare at him, Guan Yu.
"This……"
That means he didn't go to Xichuan, otherwise he would have learned the local dialect and he would have said "Ma Ma Bi" all the time.
"Ji Chengtian, take another arrow from me!"
As Lu Bu spoke, he drew his bow and shot an arrow, but it was aimed at Zhao Yun - a feint to the east but an attack in the west, this was a basic operation, but Zhao Yun waved his Longdan Bright Silver Spear and easily deflected it.
I wasn't tricked at all.
On the contrary, Ji Hao also said, "Guan Yu, look at the arrows."
Lu Bu dodged subconsciously.
Then, the arrows did not come, but Guan Yu used his broadsword to deal with two arrows at the same time, and was accidentally shot in the shoulder. Although the armor blocked it and did not pierce, it still made him numb.
He could not help but roar: "Look at the arrow, thief!"
After saying that, he also shot.
People were coming and going.
Zhang Fei and Zhou Cang basically had nothing to do, they just held up their shields.
Ji Hao shot Guan Yu most of the time, but when he got the chance, he would also attack Lu Bu. The two of them fought back and forth, and for a while, it was hard to tell who was winning.
However, there was a problem on the other side. Zhao Yun, under Ji Hao's orders, roamed and shot, but did not attack Lu Bu at all.
It means shooting Guan Yu.
Lu Bu shot Ji Hao, he shot Guan Yu, Lu Bu shot himself, he shot Guan Yu, Guan Yu shot Ji Hao, he shot Guan Yu, Guan Yu shot him Zhao Yun, and he still shot Guan Yu.
Roam around on the left and shoot Guan Yu, roam around on the right and shoot Guan Yu.
Just stare at Guan Yu.
Zhao Yun is also a "hexagonal general". While his martial arts are top-notch, his archery skills are also among the top three in the world. Only Lu Bu and Huang Zhong can beat him.
The strength of both sides is not equal at all.
Shooting back and forth.
After many fights, the white horse is still bright and the silver spear is still as strong as a dragon.
Zhao Yun was unharmed.
No one could shoot him.
But Guan Yu was injured three times in a row. Although they were all minor injuries, he was obviously at a disadvantage.
Looking at the three people on the opposite side who were not hit by the arrows, and looking at Zhang Fei and Lu Bu who were still intact, he couldn't help but fall into self-doubt: Why do I feel like a loser, holding back the other two?
"How is that possible? I am Guan Yu!"
Finally, Guan Yu burst out with ferocity, stopped wandering and dodging, and rushed forward.
Why do we need a "deputy" in archery?
Why does the main force only carry a bow and no weapons, while the deputy must carry both?
That’s because, when necessary, the deputy has to charge into battle!
"Zhao Zilong, do you dare to fight me?" Guan Yu said.
Hearing this, Zhao Yun rushed over and shouted, "Why not?"
The two of them fought directly.
But it was not only a competition of martial arts between the two, but also a competition between Ji Hao and Lu Bu. They each shot arrows at the other, fighting back and forth in a fierce battle.
Then, Guan Yu discovered with embarrassment that Zhao Yun was as slippery as a loach.
The spear moved skillfully and dodged Lu Bu's arrow perfectly.
But when he used the broadsword himself, he made wide swings and was not flexible enough.
So soon after, he was hit by four arrows again. Although none of them hit his vital parts and he was still able to fight after being injured, he seemed to be getting braver and braver. However, in the eyes of others, he seemed to be unable to hold on.
Zhang Fei became anxious at that time.
He said angrily, "Lü Bu, why can't you shoot anyone? Do you know how to shoot arrows?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Bu exploded.
Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, he angrily said, "I can shoot an arrow through a target as easily as taking something out of a bag. Even if General Li Guang were to be resurrected, I would be confident that I can defeat him. You say I can't shoot arrows? It's your brother who can't dodge arrows. If you don't agree, come on, if you can do it!"
He was also angry.
Although Ji Hao was deliberately targeting him, Guan Yu's ability to dodge arrows was indeed lower than that of normal generals.
Of course, this "normal" refers to top-level warriors.
Compared with ordinary people, such as Pan Feng and even Hua Xiong, Guan Yu is much better at archery and dodging arrows.
"Okay, I'll do it then!"
Zhang Fei roared and fought with Lu Bu. Lu Bu raised his shield and Zhang Fei went to shoot arrows - Zhang Fei's archery skills were not bad either. In this era, there was no general who didn't know how to shoot.
But it's not bad. Compared with Lu Bu's "shooting the halberd at the gate", which can compete for the best in ancient and modern times, it's far behind.
After the substitution, Zhao Yun's pressure was suddenly reduced.
He fought Guan Yu with all his strength, which put a lot of pressure on Guan Yu, who was already injured.
At this time, Ji Hao continued to shoot arrows, and soon Guan Yu was hit by several arrows again. He was bleeding profusely and his combat effectiveness was affected. Liu Bei's face changed when he saw this.
Yuan Shu, who was also watching the battle, curled his lips and said, "Uncle Liu, your horse archer is not very good!"
