The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 249: Human and Lion Fight

After watching the first match in the gladiator field, Guo Nuan immediately returned to the flat-nosed nobleman's manor. When he heard the old man explain that his team of five would fight five lions tomorrow, he felt a little absurd. , and a deep shame arose in his heart. For the sake of entertainment, the nobles let the same kind go to fight with the beasts. Guo Nuan cursed: "Fucking slave social system,"

What to do, Guo Nuan briefly communicated with the other four gladiators for a while, the night was hazy, and after leaving the school grounds, he returned to his wing to rest.

Speaking of the other four people, two big cannibals, one from Tianzhu, and one from Nanzhao, these people either killed people in Zhishan City, or committed fraud, and the crime of theft offended the nobles. People, in short, if there is no gladiator project, it is estimated that they would have been hanged and executed. After so many unsettled days, it is not a day or two for desperadoes to lift their heads on their belts, so The flat-nosed aristocratic gladiator team, in addition to cramming to warm up and train temporarily, will ask for blessings for tomorrow's affairs, and they can live every day.

Guo Nuan knew that gladiators had a high death rate every time they competed, so he didn't know how long these team members of his could work together. Maybe he was unlucky. After tomorrow, the flat nose should be stretched again. Find new gladiators to supplement the team, or at worst, wipe out the entire army.

The leftovers of the fifty or so people who came out of the desert training camp in the same class were divided up by the nobles and wealthy businessmen within a few days of entering the city. The gladiators will form a 50-member gladiator regiment with gladiators from other training camps, and at the moment of the [-]th anniversary celebration of the King of Goodness' enthronement, the gladiator regiment will have a strong collision with the gladiator regiment of Dashi.

Soon, there was nothing to do all night, Guo Nuan rested steadily to replenish his physical strength, he looked radiant early in the morning, five lions in the opening match, this is not too difficult task for Guo Nuan, anyway, there are four other team members Support is much better than dueling.

After a full meal, Flat Nose led the gladiators to the arena.

The vast and incomparable sand arena still has the smell of blood from yesterday. I heard that five lions fought against a five-member gladiator group of a veteran nobleman. The final result was that three lions were killed and two survived. Four gladiators were killed and dismembered. One turned around and ran to the entrance exit in fright. The lion scratched seven bloody wounds. Even if he rescued his life, he would be a disabled person. If he became a disabled person's gladiator, his fate would be very tragic, and he would lose his use value to the slave owner.

Compared with the disastrous defeat of the rival senator's private gladiator group yesterday, the flat-nosed aristocrat seemed gloating. He and the senator had been fighting and quarreling for more than [-] years in the senate for their political opinions. Let your gladiator group defeat the lion in the game to hit the face of the veteran, flat nose down to die order, Guo Nuan and the five of them can only move forward and cannot retreat, unless the last lion is killed, otherwise it will be all members of the gladiator group Death in battle will never open the iron door to escape to save them, which means that the evil old flat-nosed aristocrat can lose five lives in order to gain the capital of ridicule in front of his political opponents.

Taking a deep breath of hot air, looking around at the oval-shaped besieged city, on the auditoriums on the high platforms, people's heads were surging, black and dense, and the crowd's carnival for killing, Guo Nuan felt that it was a kind of social abnormality, The unfair treatment of lower class commoners and slaves by the upper classes.

The walls are full of bloodstains. It is said that in the 37 years since the Zhishan Arena was established, more than 3000 gladiators and more than 5 beasts from the Middle East and Western Regions have been buried here.

In the center of the siege, Guo Nuan and four other team members leaned back to back and looked at the empty surroundings vigilantly with their weapons in their hands. Although to become a qualified gladiator, he must have experienced countless training and killings, and a good and ruthless psychological quality is a must. The only condition is to come to the scene in person, to be personally on the scene in this killing battlefield, under the pressure of the enthusiastic cheers of tens of thousands of spectators, and the trembling roar of a lion coming from the end of the gloomy passage of the Colosseum.

Can you still laugh at the danger of death that will be witnessed by tens of thousands of people in a few minutes?

Guo Nuan felt the slight trembling of the tense muscles of the team members on the back, and the violent panting of everyone. Yes, death is not terrible. What is terrible is facing the unknown field and endless psychological panic. The pain is terribly frightening.

A firm and encouraging look is enough. Although the language is barrier, the team members who have just met for a few days have already understood.

"Drink-,,, kill," Guo Nuan couldn't allow himself to be afraid, he roared angrily, and the echo reverberated in the circular paddock endlessly.

Encouraged by thousands of people and thundering applause, the heavy iron gate at the entrance of the fighting beast was rumbled open by the suspension wheel. As if in a demonstration, they swear that this arena is the stage for their kings, and the five weak gladiators will soon become food.

It is said that Bian Nose placed a heavy bet on Guo Nuan's own gladiator group. More than 300 goods were shipped from Persia, worth more than 5 gold coins. , stirrups, armor, silver lampstands, art sculptures, etc., and even exquisite deep-sea corals, large pearls, and more than ten catties of ambergris taken from the sperm whales from Tianzhu.

Guo Nuan sneered at him, saying that the owner of the old man Bian Nose is really rich. He heard that the political opponents and veterans also came to disturb the game. They sold the game to the Gladiators. double.

The competition started. On the high platform, there was a group of flirtatious women of different races in scantily dressed belly samba dances. Accompanied by the thick and rough cowhide drum music, Guo Nuan felt the boiling in his blood.

Soon, five well-trained gladiators fanned out and headed straight for the pride of lions 200 meters away.

Two giant ax fighters, a harpoon net fighter, and Guo Nuan, a dexterous iron sword fighter, rushed forward roaringly. The audience on the field watched the brave and fearless battle queue of the gladiator regiment burst into exclamation and sighs, Wave upon wave.

According to information, in the West, including the cultural power of the Western Regions of Asia, the lion has the title of the king of beasts, but the king of beasts in the east is a colorful tiger.

Lions are different from tigers who like to live alone and prey on their own. They like to live in groups and work in teams. Not far away, those big lions with a mighty figure, an average weight of [-] catties, and a body length of more than two meters have a neck. The thick grayish-yellow mane around it looks extraordinarily majestic.

Facing the gladiators who took the initiative to fight, the lions also formed a triangular formation and kept warning the comers with sonic boom-like roars.

Guo Nuan knows that lions look mighty, but their stamina is poor. As long as they can procrastinate and resist the explosive power of the lions in the early stage, the form of fighting will turn to their advantage. This is what Guo Nuan previously discussed with his teammates. good tactic.

The big lion in the center of the four lions guarding the center is undoubtedly the leader. It saw that Guo Nuan and the others were different from other gladiators. Stopped at rest to stand up and observe the opponent, the thick mane is also loosely stretched and erected, it can be seen that it feels the murderous danger of the prey.

According to the previous tactics, Guo Nuan and the others first pretended to attack the middle, made a deep penetration posture, and suddenly turned to attack the left wing of the lion group.

50 meters, 40 meters, 20 meters, when the audience stood up excitedly from their seats to watch, Guo Nuan and the others swooped down and finally approached the lion group. Guo Nuan, a swordsman in the center guarded by his team, tentatively stood in the center with his sword The head lion swept away, and the half-squatting ground lion raised its huge and thick front paw and slapped its hard horny claws. Guo Nuan's iron sword fought hard with the lion's claws, "Drink," Guo Nuan said. With a smooth movement of the sword, he made a false move, and before the head lion's simple animal head turned the corner, he flickered and focused on the flanking lion in the center in a daze.

The Tianzhu man pulled out his axe, and slashed at the shoulder blade of the left-winged lion with a one-hit kill. "Ohoo," the left-wing lion was enraged. In an instant, the blade was deeply embedded in the soil and lifted a layer of soil.

"Ah,,," the giant ax Tianzhu didn't hit the lion with a single move, the lion volleyed at him, roared and knocked him down with a paw, its body weighing several hundred kilograms was pressed on the Tianzhu man, and it opened its fangs in an attempt to bite Human throat tube.

Guo Nuan and other members of the team couldn't help being shocked when they saw it, and the formation immediately changed, and the four of them rushed to the left flank one after another. Two giant axes struck the lion's skull, killing them and suddenly fell down.

The team member who was still in shock crawled out of the lion's body, his chest was covered with blood, but fortunately he didn't bite his neck, picked up his weapon, and the five scattered and evacuated at the very moment. The appearance of a lion drew cheers from the arena.

Missing one hit, Guo Nuan quickly ejected to the side and retreated. Now everyone can only look for another opportunity to assassinate the remaining lions.

It is said that the front paws of the lion are very powerful. Normally, the lion likes to hook its paws and savagely bring it down when chasing from behind. Of course, Guo Nuan and the others would not foolishly run away with their backs to the lion when evacuating, otherwise they would sprint cleanly. It hardly takes a few seconds for the lion to chase up, put down with one paw, cull, and bite.

Fleeing on the flanks, Guo Nuan was followed by a big white man with a strong physique. He was responsible for Guo Nuan's rear with a giant axe.

After the lion saw the five people split into two groups and retreat towards the left and right flanks, the lions also immediately chased after them, using two lions to chase Guo Nuan and the others.

After a lion sprinted more than ten meters in a [-]-meter sprint, it almost hooked its claws on the buttocks of a big man.

"Hurry up, hit its fragile nose with a huge axe," Guo Nuan hurriedly turned his head and shouted while running desperately while commanding the team member.

"Oh, oh," a short cry of pain, the back of the broad giant ax immediately patted the lion behind its buttocks,
