Because the previous battles have been scheduled long ago, in order to ensure the excitement and topicality of the final duel, basically the most powerful gladiators will not meet prematurely.
But now Zhang Heng appeared on the stage again amidst the cheers of the audience, but it also brought new problems. His opponent in the next round has not yet been compared, so it is also a bit difficult for the arena, but after that Zhang Heng directly faced What did the referee say? The latter looked surprised and asked repeatedly, "Are you sure?"
"Of course, I won't make fun of my own life." Zhang Heng said.
So the referee quickly told Kang Maode in the front row about Zhang Heng's proposal, and His Majesty the young emperor also had a strange expression on his face, "He really said that?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I specifically asked him twice." The referee affirmed.
Commodus thought for a while, "Then we should trust him, he is a person who can always perform miracles, and I think this time is no exception."
The young emperor issued an order, and soon, more and more people in the stands knew the opponent Zhang Heng would face in the next battle.
As a result, the audience was stunned.
Especially when they saw that Zhang Heng handed over the only weapons, the two Persian swords, they were even more shocked, and they all whispered to each other.
Although Zhang Heng showed overwhelming strength in the previous battle, there are not many people who are optimistic about him in the next battle, because considering the opponent he will face, his fighting skills, strength, The advantage in speed will be gone, and he actually chose to meet the enemy with bare hands.
Of course, this is just the perspective of the audience.
For Zhang Heng, the instigator, he didn't feel that his behavior was really looking for death, not to mention that he didn't have any equipment. No, he had already got the rope he wanted to use.
Zhang Heng first tested the strength of the rope, and then tied a knot to make a noose.
Holding the lasso, Zhang Heng also had an illusion in a trance, as if he had returned to the wild west of the United States in the 19th century.
Then his opponent in this battle was also released from the cage.
This is a bison, and it is still an adult bison, with a body length of more than two meters and a weight of about one ton. No wonder the audience present are not optimistic about the result of Zhang Heng's battle. Just because of this weight alone, no one can beat it If it is blocked, if it is hit, it is estimated that the bones will fall apart on the spot.
Moreover, the bison's skin is rough and thick, and a pair of horns are extremely hard. The bison that is cornered can even fight with lions. There are often groups of lions hunting bison together, but they are smashed by the bison and rise to heaven in place. , the last word is taken literally.
As I said before, it is different from the movies. In reality, gladiators and beast fighters are two completely different professions. Under normal circumstances, the two will not exchange opponents. Gladiators spend their entire lives fighting against people. Skills, and don't know how to deal with wild beasts, and the same is true for beast fighters, there is almost no intersection between the two sides.
Therefore, the referee was stunned when he heard that Zhang Heng was going to challenge the bison, especially when the latter specifically stated that he could not use a sword and only needed a strong rope, the audience in the stands couldn't imagine what else Zhang Heng could do. Can it handle bison, fists and teeth
But just when everyone was full of doubts, the following battle had already begun.
The animal trainer poked the bison with a sharpened hard pole, making the latter become irritable. The pair of big copper bell-like eyes quickly locked Zhang Heng not far away, and then the angry bison buried its head and showed It took the deadliest weapon on its head and rushed towards Zhang Heng.
However, Zhang Heng did not rush to throw the lasso in his hand.
As a cowboy, he had driven cows many times before, and he had dealt with many dishonest cows, but it was the first time he had dealt with such a big bison, and he had no horses to ride, so he had to be more cautious.
But fortunately, the specific methods are the same, and the experience he has accumulated before can also be used. Zhang Heng didn't attack rashly because the buffalo was very powerful. Even if he could catch the opponent's neck accurately, he might be the one who was taken away in the end.
So he chose to avoid the edge for the time being, and rolled on the spot to avoid the impact of the bison, but the bison had already spotted him, and immediately came back in a circle after missing a hit. He wanted to push Zhang Heng from behind.
Seeing that the bull's horn was less than half a meter away from Zhang Heng's body, everyone in the stands exclaimed, and Queen Krispina couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and plunged into her husband's arms. Kang Maode's heart skipped a beat. Although he said he would trust Zhang Heng, he was skeptical about fighting the bison with his bare hands. Seeing that Zhang Heng's life was at stake, he couldn't help but suspect that Zhang Heng was going to screw up from time to time this time. .
It would be a pity if this Easterner really died here. Commodus just fell in love with Zhang Heng, and wanted to find a chance to chat with him more, and after the previous battle, Zhang Heng's odds skyrocketed , It shows that everyone is very optimistic about him winning this championship. If he can't make it to the last decisive battle in Dalian, then the wonderful battle he dedicated before will also be reduced to a joke.
Pompeoianus on the other side also shook his head, and said to his wife, "Your five thousand gold coins seem to be in vain, how about it, do you have enough money in your private room? I need to help you put it down first." ?"
"What a caring man." Lucilla smiled upon hearing this, "But the battle isn't over yet, is it?"
In the gap between the two talking, Zhang Heng seemed to have eyes behind his back. He didn't turn his head but moved half a step to the left to escape the brutal surprise attack. His two sharp corners brushed his arm and passed. It was only close to stabbing into his flesh and blood, and then Zhang Heng made a crazy move that no one had expected.
Not long after he got out of the clutches of the god of death, he reached out and grabbed a bull's horn, and then tapped his toes on the ground. The next moment, he flew onto the bull's back, and immediately burst into even more enthusiastic cheers from the stands. , surrounded by a wonderful and dazzling scene.
However, Zhang Heng's plan was also in vain. The bull's back was bumped so badly that he couldn't free his hands to wrap around the bull's neck. Afterwards, the bison cunningly rushed to the rope net on the edge of the arena, trying to get rid of it. Zhang Heng flung it inside, but fortunately Zhang Heng also discovered its intentions, and in the end he had no choice but to jump off the bull's back, rolled around on the ground, and avoided another round of trampling.
