Hema dare not underestimate the enemy, and is ready to fight.
But the opponent didn't act either, and looked like he was waiting for the horse to attack.
Make up your mind with the horse and charge forward to attack.
He was guarding against any counterattacks from the opponent, and was ready to interrupt the attack and evade at any time.
The opponent made a move, what appeared to be a standard cut, targeting Kazuma's sword hand.
As a master of Qiluo, Hema naturally knows how to deal with Qiluo.
The simplest thing is to interrupt the attack, retract the hand back and the opponent's attack aimed at the hand will be missed.
But this requires a very fast reaction speed, and it is necessary to predict the opponent's actions, and it will be too late to shrink after the cut is taken.
Normal people can't react at all.
But He Ma has already left the category of normal people.
The moment his opponent Murutani Yasushi was about to launch, he caught the fleeting information through meticulous observation, stopped attacking and retreated.
Ordinary people often do this because they have planned in advance to cheat and cut off with a feint, but Hema is completely improvised.
The first leather of Murotani Yasushi's bamboo sword missed by a hair's breadth and swept across the front of the horse gauntlet.
The referee frowned, but his body had already moved, and he raised high the flag representing Masashi Murotani's victory.
Obviously, the referee wanted to raise the flag when he saw Qie Luo shot, and he didn't even expect Hema to dodge it.
After the flag was raised, the referee was a little embarrassed, because no one heard the sound of the bamboo knife hitting the hand armor, and it was obviously not worth it.
The little girl who was forced into the referee team by the general in Kyoto objected without saying a word: "It's not worth it at all, is it?"
This girl is probably an ordinary kendo enthusiast. She was brought in to help, and she never thought about having more development in the kendo world, so she didn't have so many worries.
The referee was very embarrassed, and was about to say something forcefully, when Murotani Yasushi raised his hand: "I also think I didn't deserve it, I was tricked out of the cut."
The referee twitched, and he asked Kuangshi Murotani sharply: "Are you sure you want to question my judgment? I asked you to take a copy."
"I'm sure." Murotani Yasushi's voice was steady and firm, "If it wasn't for a fair confrontation, it would be impossible to test my limits."
The referee said with a gloomy face: "Okay, since the Deben side has objections to the referee's result, I withdraw this judgment. Both sides reset."
Kazuma was already waiting at the starting line, and he and Murotani Yasushi just had a rough round of fighting, and they didn't move much at all.
After listening to the password, he and Ma Zhongduan held their swords and stood ready again.
The opponent also held a sword in the middle, so the situation became exactly the same as before.
To attack, you have to eat Qieluo, and if you want to break through Qieluo, you have to fight for speed, as long as your attack is faster than Qieluo.
But because the cut is aimed at the hand, the stroke of the knife in the attack action is short, which naturally has the advantage of speed.
In fact, in a real knife duel, there is a brainless way to cut off, which is to use a knife that is longer than the opponent.
In actual combat, the longer the sword, the more advantageous it is. As for the slower swing speed of the longer knife, this is actually created by later games for balance.
In actual use, the added weight of the increased length will have far less impact on the swing speed of the weapon than the difference in user strength.
In actual combat, the sword you use is longer and heavier, so as long as you are stronger than others, you can offset this disadvantage.
In the early days of the Warring States Period in Japan, when iron cannons were not so popular, samurai were fully armored and armed with super-long wild swords, and rushing into the ashigaru pile was like a tank entering a crowd without anti-tank weapons.
This situation was more obvious in the Middle Ages in Europe. Because of race and nutritional problems, Japan’s armor cannot be too heavy. Europeans are tall and big, and it is easy to grow food in the Great Plains. They can arm that kind of iron canned knights. In the era of cold weapons Really almost incomprehensible.
That is to say, the civilization of Italian cities is well developed, and heavy crossbows can be deployed on a large scale to deal with these knights.
But whether it is a heavy crossbow or a longbow, it takes physical strength to use it. Although the crossbow reduces the need for physical strength through mechanical devices, winding it is still a laborious task.
After the Hussite war, town craftsmen and free people discovered that muskets were a good thing. The effect of opening cans was first-class, and it didn’t take much effort. Even women could load and fire. The era of knights and gentlemen began to collapse.
In short, in actual combat, there are some ways to deal with the cut, you can use longer knives, you can use flying props, and there is the ultimate solution: draw a gun.
But now the bamboo swords used with horses are the standard standard stipulated by the Quanjian Federation, and the length has been fixed.
If it's just a matter of speed, let alone whether the opponent's level 25 can beat it, there is a eccentric referee next to him.
If the speed of the horse is too high, but it is only a little bit ahead of time, and the referee raises the flag to judge the opponent to win, then there is really no way to argue.
After all, there are no ultra-high-speed cameras in the arena, and it is all up to the referee to judge.
The little girl who served as the assistant referee was a kendo enthusiast at all. She couldn't tell if she couldn't see clearly the situation that was only a hair's breadth away. Even if she could see clearly, no one would think that she was more authoritative than the chief referee.
The referee's "defeating" just now actually sounded the alarm to Kazuma, telling him not to create a situation where it is difficult to tell who wins, and everyone around him must see that he has won.
That way the referee can't do anything.
But the opponent's strength is not bad, and then it seems that he doesn't intend to take the initiative to attack, and he will be cut off if he attacks by himself.
and the horse started to move sideways.
If you are indecisive, move sideways and enter the two-person mode.
In case the basic skills of the face-to-face are not good and the foot is unstable and staggers, isn't the opportunity coming
Murotani Masashi was also very cooperative, so he turned around with the horse.
So He Ma had time to think about what to do.
Sure enough, should he still trick the opponent into making a move, trick Qie Luo out and seize the time to fight back
But the opponent has suffered a loss just now, will he be fooled again
Thinking of this, Hema hated the referee. He didn't raise the flag to make trouble just now, so he took advantage of the gap to attack.
The referee raised the flag, regardless of whether the judgment counted or not, the attack launched after the flag was raised would not count.
Kazuma decided to give it a try, so he suddenly changed his pace—the kendo attack is basically started from the footsteps.
So when newcomers first practice kendo, the master will say not to just stare at the enemy's sword.
As soon as Kazuma's footsteps changed, the opponent's footsteps immediately followed suit, but contrary to Kazuma's expectations, Murotani Masashi took a step forward.
Is this to make the timing of the slash and the cut as close as possible, and to give the referee more discretion
The opponent said that he wanted a fair match, but he didn't give up the advantage of the referee in favor of himself—
But He Ma was originally a fake move, he didn't attack at all, he just retreated and waited for the cut to fail to fight back.
But the opponent didn't move either.
The two resumed their confrontation.
Suddenly He Ma heard someone yelling: "Why don't you fight, it's so boring!"
He glanced in the direction of the voice from the corner of his eye, and found that it was Mikako.
This guy slapped the floor like a kid: "It's so boring, hit it!"
In fact, the people who are watching the game are all attracted by the game between the two sides, and they are extremely involved.
Mikako's kendo strength is actually quite good, so it's not like she can't see the way at all.
She is deliberately pretending to be stupid to stir up the atmosphere.
But thanks to her being stupid, He Ma relaxed a little, and then a great idea came out.
Competitive kendo stipulates the effective attack areas, and only hitting these areas is considered worthwhile, so the battles in competitive kendo are all head-on confrontations.
And there is no lower-level swordsmanship to attack the lower body at all.
No score in the next game!
Kazuma changed the posture of holding the knife in the middle section to holding the knife in the lower section.
The people watching the battle immediately exclaimed in a circle, because they didn't know what they were doing with the horse.
The idea of Hema is actually very simple. It becomes difficult to use the knife to cut down the lower part, and generally the cut is practiced against the upper or middle part of the attack, basically there will be no cutting practice for the lower part .
He just forced the opponent to change his tactics.
Although the lower part is an uncommon posture in kendo competitions, but the opponent is facing the winner of the Kuixing Banner, the modern swordsman Kiryu Kazuma who has experienced many life-and-death duels, he certainly does not dare to bet that Kazuma is reckless.
The opponent thought for a while, and suddenly stepped forward to attack.
It is very convenient to cut legs with a knife in the lower stage, but it is much more difficult to hit the effective breakthrough area of competitive kendo than in the upper middle stage.
And it's not easy to start defense in the next paragraph.
The opponent obviously decided that this was an excellent time to attack.
It seems that Murotani Yasushi is quite confident in his kendo.
He slid sideways with the horse, dodging the straight cut by the opposite side by a hair, and then raised the lower part, sweeping towards the opponent's armor.
But Murotani Yasushi directly raised his center of gravity, and Kazuma's knife hit the skirt board.
At the same time, the opponent held a knife in both hands and slashed horizontally, hitting the side of the horse.
Kazuma directly raised his hands upwards, and pulled up the blade to block.
During this process, Hema’s bamboo sword hits the effective hit zone of the armor, but the effective punching of competitive kendo does not mean that it wins when it touches it. It must have a corresponding sword movement. Some referees even require the leg to step forward. The combination of actions can be regarded as an effective attack.
Put down the horizontal cut with the horse, and directly push forward quickly to maintain the bamboo sword cross.
He wanted to try to see if he could force the opponent to make a problem when he retreated, after all, the opponent raised his center of gravity just now.
After advancing a few steps, the opponent staggered, and the horse immediately backed away, without adjusting his posture, he stepped forward and drew his knife.
Masashi Murotani, who had an unstable base, rushed to fight and blocked very reluctantly.
He wanted to keep fighting for a chance to adjust his stance, but Hema didn't give him a chance, he retracted his sword like lightning and attacked again-two consecutive strikes!
Masashi Murotani is worthy of being a level 25 master who has already stood at the top of the mortals, and he actually defended against the second attack.
But now he has completely fallen into a passive state, and even lost the chance to use the cut off.
And the horse continued to attack.
Murotani Masashi, who was tired of coping, finally had a major flaw after receiving the fifth sword, and the bamboo knife fell out of his hand.
According to the memory of He Ma's life, dropping a sword in a kendo competition is not considered a loss, but many times the person who drops a sword will voluntarily surrender because of shame.
Thick-skinned and then hit no one can say anything about you.
But the rules here are obviously different. When the knife fell to the ground, the spectators made an "oh" sound, and the referee also raised the flag.
"Pioneer of the University of Tokyo, shoot down the opponent's bamboo sword and win!"
He raised his eyebrows with Ma.
He had already discovered that the kendo rules of the two worlds were somewhat different: in his previous life, he remembered very clearly that a thrust would only count as an effective thrust if it hit a special throat guard under the helmet.
But this side is obviously effective in stabbing the carcass.
Just because he discovered this difference before, Hema is not very surprised now.
It turns out that if the knife is dropped here, it is considered a loss, he silently remembered it in his heart.
Wouldn't that give birth to many ways of fighting against weapons
As long as you are strong enough, greet the opposite bamboo knife, and you will win if you hit it in the air.
However, the design of the bamboo knife itself can cushion and absorb force, so it must be quite difficult to fly the bamboo knife.
The bamboo knife is not made of a whole bamboo, but a flexible structure formed by many bamboo strips tied together.
The two bamboo knives collided, and most of the force was absorbed by the deformation of the blade.
Using a bamboo knife can still make the tiger's mouth hurt, which shows that the opponent's strength is extraordinary.
It is estimated that the effect of the pain in the tiger's mouth can be achieved, and it is estimated that the current upper stage slash.
Murotani Yasushi picked up the bamboo knife that fell on the ground, and bowed to Kazuma: "I made you laugh, Kiryu-kun."
"No, your performance is already very good."
In all fairness, Murotani Yasushi made Kazuma quite uncomfortable just relying on his kendo-level crushing.
If it weren't for the large amount of actual combat experience with Ma and the blessings brought by the entries, the result of this battle would probably be one-sided.
If Murotani Masashi improved two more levels to reach the level of Ping Zhongshi, he might not be able to fight Ma.
—It seems that blindly pursuing experience and actual combat is not enough.
It's time to find a great teacher and teach yourself a few tricks.
According to Hema's experience, if you find someone who is good at swordsmanship and has everyone to teach you, the speed of level improvement is faster than that of finding monsters.
And the guide can also learn new sword moves.
Qieluo and Ma from Pingzhong Shijiao have been used all the way until now, and they have benefited a lot.
At this time, the referee issued the password of "li".
Kazuma hurriedly performed the action of receiving the sword, put the bamboo sword in his waist and held it with the other hand—this symbolized returning the sword to the sheath—and then bowed to Masashi Murotani in front of him.
After finishing this, Murotani Masashi turned around and took off his mask at the same time.
Miss Guiting hurried forward to take his helmet, handed him the towel, and said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Murogu."
Kazuma also took off his helmet, handed it to Honami, and then looked at Honami eagerly.
Honami showed a puzzled expression for a moment, but immediately understood: "Thanks for your hard work, Kazuma."
Then Honami didn't hand over the towel, but directly wiped the sweat off the horse.
Next to it, Tamamo opened the thermos pot, turned the lid upside down and used it as a cup, filled it with iced barley tea, and handed it to Kazuma.
"There is still a general battle," she said, "destroy the first five in a row and you'll be done."
Honami: "By the way, Toda-senpai asked, do you want to take a break, and if you want, a few of them will come and try to help you delay the time."
After thinking about it with the horse, I did consume a lot of physical strength.
You should be in better shape after a 20-minute rest.
At this time, Hiroshi Tanzhoulou, a general of the Kendo Department of Kyoto University, had already stood behind the starting line on the opposite side.
The strong man folded his hands on his chest: "I suggest you take a break, and I just happened to warm up those weak seniors of yours."
While saying this, Miss Guiting helped him gather his hair back and tie it into a ponytail.
Kazuma saw that the other party said so, so he tilted his head and said to Honami: "Let the seniors go."
Honami nodded, then turned her head and gestured to Toda-senpai who was sitting on the player bench.
Toda-senpai immediately raised his hand: "Tokyo University is going to change players!"
Referee: "Are you sure? In this case, the pioneer can continue to play until the rest of you are eliminated."
"We're sure." Toda-senpai said.
