The use of spears began in ancient times. Among the five soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty, spears accounted for two of them, and they were the soldiers suitable for stabbing.

It looks similar to a gun. In a sense, it can even be said that the gun is an upgraded version of the spear.

But the difference between the two is actually very big.

One of the differences lies in the shaft. Gun shafts generally require flexible materials. Alder wood is the best, composite wood is the second best, and pewter shaft is the last. However, spear shafts are basically made of jujube wood or even fine iron, which has basically no flexibility at all.

The second difference lies in the tip. The spear tip is edged on both sides and has a barb at the tail, similar to an arrowhead. This causes the spear to be pulled out from the enemy's wound with greater force. At the same time, once pulled out, it will increase the secondary damage. The tip is an angular shape with protruding spikes, which is easier to pierce and easier to pull out.

Coupled with the difference in weight and length, the use of the two is completely different.

The spear is flexible and versatile, and can be used both for offense and defense. It can stab, cut, stab, or tart. Those with high skills can even create stick techniques or even whip techniques. In contrast, spears are much simpler to use. Basically, it mainly uses direct stabbing or killing, and the weapon is far inferior to the gun.

This led to the fact that since the Jin Dynasty, the spear has completely replaced the spear in the large-scale use of long-handled cold weapons, and has become the "King of One Hundred Weapons" in the Celestial Dynasty.

Even in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the proportion of spears, guns, and spears used by ordinary soldiers was not very different, but at the level of generals, there were far more famous generals who used spears than those who used spears.

Among the Five Tiger Generals of the Shu Han Dynasty, there were Ma Chao, Zhao Yun and later Jiang Wei. In the Cao Wei camp, there were also Xiahou Dun, Zhang Liao, Zhang He and others, including Tai Shi Ci, the most powerful general of Soochow, who was also a good hand with a gun!

There were so many of them that later generations even created a ranking of "Thirty-six Gunslingers".

In contrast, there were very few famous generals who used spears. Except for Cheng Pu, one of the twelve tiger ministers of Soochow, who used an iron-spine snake spear, there was only one person left.

It was precisely at this time that Wang Zheng secretly scolded Zhang Yide, a Yan native who "does not respect martial ethics"!

"laugh!"

Just when the distance between the two people quickly shortened to ten steps away, Zhang Fei's head, which had been slightly lowered, suddenly raised. At the same time, his left arm behind him swung forward, and the eight-foot-long snake spear was like an arrow from the string. Zhang Fei's forward momentum turned into a dark cold light, passed across the last distance between the two people silently, and hit him on the head!

Even though the morning light was shining now, Wang Zheng still didn't see this famous weapon clearly for the first time, let alone imagine that the opponent's first blow was so simple and crude.

What a fool!

What you have in your hand is a spear, not a hammer!

He was so surprised that Wang Zheng couldn't think about the rapid whistling sound in the air. He quickly clamped his legs on the horse's belly, stabilized the lower body, lowered his waist and raised his arms, and quickly raised the divine sword in his hand to meet it!

"when!"

Amidst the sharp sound that shocked the entire audience, two weapons, one long and one short, collided and scattered sparks!

Immediately, Wang Zheng's face suddenly turned red.

His blood surged so much that it was hard to hide it.

It can be seen that even with the current strength of forty-eight, it will not be easy to follow Zhang Fei's fierce attack.

Zhang Fei was also shocked.

After Liu Bei entered Xuzhou, it was impossible not to investigate the enemy around him. Zhang Fei had also heard about Wang Zheng's impressive achievements. If he was half-believed before, but today when the other party took the initiative to invite a fighting general, Zhang Fei shouted He raised his eyebrows, but his heart was full of vigilance, and he did not mean to look down upon him.

Therefore, he specially used his hand to chop instead of the usual thrust, hoping to gain the upper hand by striking with all his strength.

He originally thought that no matter how powerful this vertical stroke was, this strike would at least suppress him, but he didn't know that the figure sitting on the horse opposite him was as majestic as a mountain, and he actually stood down forcefully!

At this time, Zhang Fei was not the only one who was surprised.

You must know that the reputation of Guan and Zhang as enemies with ten thousand people has been known throughout the world since the battle with Lu Bu. When Yuan's army was defeated a few days ago, the Xiapi generals even witnessed Zhang Fei and Guan Yu charging into the enemy formation from left to right, as if they were in an uninhabited territory.

His unparalleled heroic appearance has already attracted everyone’s admiration.

Therefore, when Wang Zheng took the initiative to raise a provocation, it was not just Liu Bei who felt that "this son is asking for his own death."

And this Wang Zheng...

Can he catch Zhang Fei's full blow?

This made everyone onlookers stunned and in disbelief. Liu Bei suddenly changed his expression. Guan Yu, who was also a top military general, narrowed his eyes and said coldly:

"Trouble!"

He is the one who knows best among the onlookers. The earth-shattering blow of the third brother just now was not only completely unrestrained, but also relied on the impact of the war horse, so it was able to create such a terrifying power.

But give it your all...

It means it is difficult to continue!

It also means that the old strength is exhausted. Before the new strength is generated, not only will it be unable to deliver the second blow, but it will also be exposed!

In fact, Wang Zheng was secretly happy at this time.

Because of his previous victory over Sun Ce, Wang Zheng's original plan was not to use his talent. This time, he had a few moves with Zhang Fei. Even if he was slightly weaker, it didn't matter. Later, when the two armies actually faced off, he would use strong attacks to deal with Guan Yu. If

Being able to defeat them in one blow would kill two birds with one stone. It would not only suppress Liu Bei's army's momentum for victory, but also encourage Yuan's army whose morale was low.

As a result, a spear came from the opposite side. Wang Zheng's heart was filled with alarm bells, and he immediately launched a level three attack without any hesitation!

Even so, using his trump card and using all his strength, he could barely block Zhang Fei's attack. After secretly cursing this guy for being too fierce, how could he dare to let the opponent continue to attack?

Is that okay?

Don't try to test the truth. If you accidentally dismount the opponent's horse, it would be embarrassing!

Seeing that the opponent's flaw was revealed at this moment, Wang Zheng's right hand waved, and with a dazzling blue light, it quickly sliced ​​along the shaft of the Zhangba Snake Spear, and went straight to Zhang Fei's left hand that was holding the weapon!

At the same time, Wang Zheng's left arm suddenly shot out, and all five fingers turned into a cage, tightly gripping the spear shaft in front of him, blocking any possibility of any movement of the spear, leaving Zhang Fei with only two ways to go.

Either let go and abandon the spear!

Either don't let go and break your hand!

"Thief!"

Zhang Fei's face was full of anger, and his left hand actually let go of the Zhangba Snake Spear as Wang Zheng expected. However, at the last moment before letting go, he pushed upward with force.

What does this mean?

Just when he was surprised, he saw the snake spear flying directly into the air. Wang Zheng snorted coldly, and with a sudden thought, he immediately made a choice and voluntarily gave up attacking Zhang Fei who was now empty-handed. He slashed out with his long sword, trying to kill Zhang Fei first.

The snake spear hit the ground.

But at this moment, I just heard a "bang!"

Zhang Fei suddenly reined in his horse and turned around. There were screams in the distance. The horse stood upright with its hooves not touching the ground. Just in time, the horse's head pointed at the snake spear in the air again.

The next moment, Zhang Fei stretched out his right arm, first to explore and then to retract it, just in time to hold the changed angle of the spear again.

After getting the weapon, he first clamped the horse's belly with his legs, reined in the horse and retreated a few feet away before suddenly stopping, staring at Wang Zheng fiercely, and shouted in a distant voice: "You want a male weapon? Why go to all this trouble."

"Just call me grandpa."

"The ring-eyed thief is making such a noise!" Wang Zheng snorted coldly, with a mocking smile on his face, and retaliated: "In just two or three rounds, I beat you to the point where you are running away with your head in your arms. You are really vulnerable!"

But he was secretly complaining that apart from his appearance, Zhang Fei in front of him didn't have the slightest bit of recklessness.

Not taking advantage of the attack, he immediately understood the situation and took the initiative to retreat to create a distance. He clearly wanted to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses, and did not want to use spear against sword in such a short distance.

"Hey!"

Hearing this, Zhang Fei became furious: "Yellow Turban Bandits, I will kill you today!"

"Excellent!" Wang Zheng smiled calmly, clamped the horse's belly, and the horse galloped forward: "Come and kill!"

"kill!"

Amidst the loud shouts, Zhang Fei also directly urged his horse to greet Wang Zheng quickly.

Amidst the thunderous galloping sound, the two riders approached again in an instant.

Zhang Fei lowered his waist and raised his arms again. When Wang Zheng saw the snake spear being lifted up by him, it was stabbed against his face in an instant!

So fast!

Fortunately, Wang Zheng's physique is far superior to that of ordinary people, and even his nervous reactions are like monsters. When this thought passed through his mind, his body acted almost instinctively!

Hearing just a shout, the king moved his horse, raised his sword, and struck quickly. The several movements were done in one go, like flowing clouds and flowing water, and the edge of the long sword struck the tip of the spear just right.

There was another clear sound of "dang".

A sword and a spear were swung out in succession, and both of them felt sharp pain in the tiger's mouth and numbness in their arms.

Another strength competition.

Once again, there is no distinction between top and bottom.

"kill!"

Zhang Fei is a brave man by nature, and he failed to gain the upper hand after two attempts. Instead, his ferocity was completely aroused. Blood was already spilling from his wrist, but he held the snake spear tighter, roared like a tiger, and struck again. A spear thrust hard!

"Screaming loudly will help?"

Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows, and his eyes once again showed a look like blue flames. This time, he did not choose to continue to fight. He twisted his waist and tilted his body to the left in a weird posture.

While the snake spear pierced the armor on his waist, Zhang Fei was not given a chance to retreat and retract the spear, so he suddenly leaned forward and struck Zhang Fei in the face with the divine sword!

At the critical moment, Zhang Fei didn't have time to think carefully and turned his wrist to meet the spear body. Unexpectedly, when the sword edge was about to touch the spear body, Wang Zheng also flicked his wrist and the sword force changed again!

But it changed from chopping to slanting in an instant!

This change of tactics was beyond everyone's expectation.

Just when everyone here in Xiapi was exclaiming in horror, and the Heavenly Army side was in ecstasy, Zhang Yide suddenly disappeared on horseback just as the sword was about to be completed, and no one was seen.

what's the situation?
To be continued...
