A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 455 Shocked the whole audience

As the competition came to an end, double-gun general Dong Ping won the first place in infantry combat and cavalry combat, while Xiao Li, Guang Huarong and Pang Wanchun tied for first place in infantry and cavalry archery. These three can be regarded as the top three in this competition.

The person ranked fourth was not Xiao Wenhou Lu Fang, nor the girl with the alias "Pang Wanqiu", but a very simple name, Yuan Lang.

This man was nine feet tall, with a red face and yellow beard, and a sturdy build. He was carrying a strange weapon, a pair of water-ground steel hammers.

The shape of this weapon is very peculiar. Its length is almost the same as Dong Ping's double guns. At the tip of the gun is an iron object that looks like a half-outstretched palm. The thumb, index and middle fingers of the iron palm are pointing forward, while the ring finger and little finger are bent, as if making a pistol gesture. However, the hand also holds an iron brush.

Generally speaking, those who can use this kind of strange weapon are either very skilled in martial arts or very unskilled.

When Yuan Lang and Dong Ping were fighting, Lu Cheng noticed that the other party seemed to be holding back. After less than fifty rounds, Yuan Lang showed a flaw and was knocked off the stage. But after the other party got off the stage, his face was not red and he was not out of breath, which seemed to indicate that he still had room for improvement.

Lu Cheng carefully recalled the original work and remembered that when the Liangshan troops were conquering Huaixi Wang Qing, Wang Qing had a general under his command named Yuan Lang, who fought with Qin Ming, one of the Five Tiger Generals of Liangshan, for 150 rounds without a clear winner.

The competition had just ended, and the prefect had just announced the rankings of the people, when Yuan Lang suddenly shouted, "I've heard for a long time that Yuanwailang can subdue a fierce tiger and wipe out the Liao soldiers. I wonder if Yuanwailang can come down and show us a few tricks, so that we can broaden our horizons?"

The prefect immediately stood up and said, "How dare you challenge your superior, you..."

Before the prefect finished speaking, Lu Cheng stood up and said, "Wu Zhizhou, don't be nervous. People who practice martial arts make friends through martial arts, which means they must dare to challenge strong enemies. Since they all want to see my skills, I will show them off."

After saying that, Lu Cheng leaped up more than ten feet high, did a beautiful somersault in the air, and jumped thirty or forty feet away, already reaching the stage. Then he took two steps in succession, each step was thirty to five feet, and in the blink of an eye, he was already on the stage.

Just this one move made the people around him speechless.

Then, there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers and applause from all around: "Good!"

Lu Cheng bowed to him and kicked the weapon rack beside him. A wooden spear fell into his hand. "You have all been through many battles just now. I will not take advantage of you. How about this, the top ten of you, come together. I will fight ten at a time."

The people around him were already full of admiration for Lu Cheng's tall figure and elegant demeanor, and when they heard these words, their blood boiled: "Great!"

Dong Ping, Yuan Lang, Hua Rong, Pang Wanchun and others looked at each other, took out their weapons, jumped onto the stage, and stood in all directions.

Although Lu Cheng's name has long been known throughout the world, no one is convinced until they have fought. But seeing Lu Cheng so confident, they are all alert and will definitely use all their strength in a while. Even if they can't win, they can't finish too fast.

"please!"

"please!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the tenth-ranked young general stepped forward and stabbed the wooden spear in his hand directly at Lu Cheng's shoulder.

Lu Cheng did not dodge or evade. He blocked with the spear in his right hand and raised his left hand to push out with a palm. He pushed the man out of the ring cleanly and neatly, and he fell to the ground.

The man stood up and brushed the dust off his body, but found that he was not injured. He quickly bowed to Lu Cheng on the ring and stepped aside.

Seeing this, the others stepped forward together, each using their best skills to attack Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng quickly moved to the left, and with the spear in his hand, he pushed away the weapons in the hands of the two people on his left. Then he swept the spear left and right, directly knocking the two people away.

Yuan Lang behind him wanted to take the opportunity to move forward, but Lu Cheng moved too quickly. He moved the handle of the spear in his hand back a little and hit Yuan Lang's wrist accurately, knocking the weapon out of his hand. Then he turned sideways and slashed Yuan Lang's neck with the blade of the spear, leaving a streak of red paint on his neck.

Yuan Lang helplessly dropped the weapon in his hand, turned around and jumped off the stage.

In just a moment, Lu Cheng defeated them one by one, and only six of the ten people on the stage were left.

Seeing the remaining six people attacking him, Lu Cheng swept away the enemy with one move, forcing them to retreat and sweeping one of them down to the stage.

Afterwards, without waiting for the remaining five people to attack again, Lu Cheng was like a dragon emerging from the sea, and the wooden spear in his hand transformed into numerous spear shadows. Little Wenhou Lu Fang and double-gun general Dong Ping had not yet reacted. They only felt a pain in their chest. Looking down, they saw a little red dot on their chest.

Dong Ping and Lu Fang looked at each other, both of them were a little shocked. The move just now was so fast that they felt that even if the opponent had a wooden spear in his hand, it could easily pierce their chest.

The two of them were quite decisive. They each jumped backwards and landed steadily under the ring.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Pang Wanchun and Hua Rong habitually wanted to keep their distance, but they did not expect that Lu Cheng had already approached them. With a sweep of his spear, the two people who had just retreated to the edge of the ring fell off the ring.

Within a few breaths, Pang Wanqiu was the only one left on the ring.

Lu Cheng put away his spear and smiled at the other party: "Girl, just jump off the stage by yourself. I don't need to do anything, right?"

"How...how do you know I'm a girl?"

"If you tell me your name, I'll tell you how I know you're a girl."

"I'm not going to tell you my name."

After "Pang Wanqiu" finished speaking, he threw the wooden sword in his hand to Lu Cheng, turned around and jumped off the stage.

Lu Cheng took the wooden sword and threw it casually on the weapon rack. He laughed and jumped off the stage.

No one expected that the fight would end so quickly, so quickly that before they could react, there was no one left on the ring.

Immediately afterwards, shouts were heard from the audience.

Lu Cheng returned to the viewing platform and announced the official end of the competition.

There are hundreds of people participating in this competition. Those who can enter the top 30 will be arranged by Jeju Prefecture based on their performance as long as they are willing to join the army.

Lu Cheng will make arrangements for those who can enter the top ten.

Except for Dong Ping, Hua Rong, Lu Fang, Yuan Lang, Pang Wanchun and Pang Qiuxia who occupied the top six places, the remaining 7 to 10 were named Zhou Jin, Wang Ming, Lei Hu and Zhao Peng respectively. These four people are of good level and can easily be generals of a hundred men in the army.

After Lu Cheng asked for the opinions of several people, he handed them all over to Wu Song for arrangement. These people needed to start as the head of the army, and each of them would be in charge of thirty or forty soldiers, which is equivalent to the platoon leader in later generations.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng met with Dong Ping, Lu Fang and others one by one.

As for Dong Ping, Lu Cheng had no plan to keep him to train him, after all, this guy had a bad character.

In the original novel, Dong Ping was the military commander of Dongping Prefecture. He had always liked the daughter of Cheng Taishou of Dongping Prefecture, but Cheng Taishou did not want to marry his daughter to Dong Ping, a military man.

Later, the Liangshan troops attacked Dongping Prefecture and suffered a lot at the hands of Dong Ping. Then Song Jiang set up an ambush, captured Dong Ping alive, and treated him with courtesy.

Dong Ping immediately defected to Liangshan, turned his horse around, led his men to trick the city gate open, captured Dongping Prefecture, killed the prefect Cheng, and took the prefect's daughter as his wife.

Lu Cheng naturally would not use such a person.

Those who are both virtuous and talented can be given special responsibilities.

People with virtue but no talent can be cultivated and used.

Those who have no virtue and no talent must be discarded.

Talent without moral integrity can be utilized.

"Dong Ping, you have already become the military commander in Dongping Prefecture, why do you still want to come here to participate in the competition?"

"I have long admired the reputation of Yuanwailang and have always wanted to join him, but I have never had the opportunity."

"If I recommend you to join the Western Army, would you be willing?"

Dong Ping was stunned when he heard this: "This... If the Yuanwailang needs it, I am willing to go."

Although he said this, Dong Ping was reluctant in his heart.

The Western Army was located in the northwest, where the conditions were harsh and they had to fight against the Western Xia and Liao all year round. If Dong Ping had known that he would be assigned to the Western Army, he would have been more likely to be a military supervisor in his Dongping Prefecture and live a carefree life. But since he was already here, if he didn't agree, he was afraid of offending Lu Cheng and making him angry.

"That's good. I will give you a letter later and arrange some people for you. You can take them to the Western Army to look for Mr. Zhong Jinglüe..."
