"Fidel, if you were some guy with a saber, what would you do with Catherine?"

In the hanging building next to the yard, Pedro saw that the outcome had been divided, so he asked Fidel around him.

This is because Catherine and Fidel use too similar weapons. They are both a combination of sword and shield.

"If I were you, I wouldn\'t choose a saber," Fidel replied after a little thought.

Perhaps for fear that everyone might not understand, Fidel then explained: "Sabre is a weapon used by cavalry and is suitable for horse fighting. In horse fighting, the skill of using short weapons is nothing more than stabbing and chopping. The skill of killing on the horse is to use force. With the impact of the horse, use the blade to cut the opponent\'s defense and body. In infantry combat, the sabre suffers a great loss in the face of the enemy who uses a shield. Because it can\'t use force on the horse, and its quality is light, it is difficult to break Open the opponent\'s defense. "

"What would you do?" Ruth, who was next to Fidel, became interested and began to teach Fidel.

"I\'ll use the same sword shield combination or blunt weapon," Fidel said, looking at little anzumov in the duel field in the distance.

Pedro and Ruth thought so.

This is indeed a great mistake of little anzumov. When two people with similar martial arts fight, the choice of weapons will greatly affect the outcome. The best way to deal with a sword and shield soldier is to use the same weapons as him. This can level the impact of weapons on the outcome of the duel. Little anzumov is taller and stronger than Catherine, and has more strength If a blunt instrument is used, even if Catherine makes the shield more powerful and unloads the force again, his arm is still easy to be numbed or even fractured by the blunt instrument.

It\'s just the saying that those who are in the game can see clearly. Pedro and others can certainly see the weapons used by them outside the court, but count anzumov did not know Catherine\'s routine until he came on the court.

At this time, doronin came to the little count anzumov with a cloak.

"Anzu, put on this. Even Hannibal, the God of war, sometimes fails. If God doesn\'t let you gain in the duel field, he will compensate you elsewhere."

Doronin\'s words seemed to comfort little anzumov, but to little anzumov\'s ears, it was a great irony. After losing, God compensated me in other places. Where? Officialdom? Today, he made a fool of himself in front of all the colleagues of the noble guard, and can\'t expect to become the commander of the guard. And you, doronin, without my competitor, command Nine times out of ten, the position of commander is yours. If you say that now, can you give me the position of commander?

But with this in mind, little anzumov took the cloak handed over by doronin, put it on his body and said in a friendly tone, "thank you, doronin. My friend. Indeed, as you said, a person will not be lucky forever, nor will he let a person be bad forever. I lost my hand today, but one day I will get back what I lost today."

"Including the position of the commander." little anzumov added in his heart.

"Of course, of course. Anzu, God will bless you," doronin said in the same kind words. He swept around with his short-sighted eyes.

The members of the aristocratic guard who are in charge of the guard all look resentful when they see that little anzumov has been defeated. Although some of them usually have a bad relationship with little anzumov, today, one is their own colleague and the other is a member of the mercenary regiment. These people naturally regard the duel as a competition between the aristocratic guard and the mercenary regiment. Now, little Anzu When Moff was defeated, it was natural that the noble guard lost to the mercenary Corps. How can we not keep all people depressed.

On the other side, Catherine gave her sword and shield to the servants around her, and was preparing to end up with Helena.

"Lieutenant Catherine, please wait," doronin shouted.

Catherine and Helena looked back. Helena looked up at her lover and doronin, showing a puzzled expression. Fiordo and others also threw puzzled eyes at doronin.

"I also want to have a try with you." before Catherine spoke, doronin said his purpose.

There was an uproar.

Everyone was surprised. It was no secret that doronin and little anzumov were at odds in Smolensk. Now, doronin would defend his opponent little anzumov and fight Catherine for him?

Among them, Franco and Catherine are the only ones who are not surprised. Because this is originally part of the "plan". Although Franco is fair and strict, he is not at all inhumane. After reporting the three suspects he found to fiordo that day, Franco found Catherine alone and reported what he reported to fiordo Told Catherine. According to Franco, if the man is really Catherine, let him know in advance, and you can buy him time to escape. It can also be regarded as the officer\'s love for his subordinates.

Catherine also admitted on the spot that she was the one who dated Miss Helena that day. She confessed to Franco that she would not run without Helena. There was no way, Franco had to guide Catherine to find Senator doronin. Doronin and little anzumov were enemies. Doronin would certainly be happy to help Catherine in this matter.

That\'s what happened. When Catherine found doronin, doronin immediately agreed and put forward a plan. That is, Catherine admitted that she was Helena\'s lover in front of fiordo and challenged little anzumov by taking advantage of the ancient marriage snatching custom of the Republic of Poland. Break the engagement between little anzumov and Helena by winning. The price of doronin\'s help was to lose to herself after Catherine defeated little anzumov.

The plan was very successful, and even little anzumov\'s replacement of the castle guard provided a better opportunity for doronin to win a greater reputation.

Now, it\'s time for doronin to get paid.

"You won Anzu. Although Anzu and I have always been at odds, he is, after all, a member of our noble guard. If he lost to you today, it seems to outsiders that our noble guard lost to the mercenary Corps. I want to win back the lost glory for our noble guard." doronin said solemnly and forcefully. The nobles around nodded at this.

"Yes, we want to win back the honor." more than one thought so, and many people planned to challenge Catherine once doronin lost.

"Well, I\'ll take your challenge," Catherine replied, smiling back at Helena\'s uneasy eyes.

This is a play. After playing the first half, I will finish the second half.

After a short rest, they went to the duel field. The duel was a lance duel. The servants brought two similar horses to the field and gave them to them.

Just in case, they took off the steel heads of their riding guns and put on breastplates and helmets with masks.

After three trumpets, the two knights kicked their horses\' bellies with boots equipped with Spurs, raised their lances and opposed them.

Since it\'s acting, Catherine certainly has to do her part as an actor. When the lance was about to stab doronin, he deflected the head slightly, so that the lance passed under doronin\'s armpit. Doronin\'s lance stabbed Catherine\'s helmet and knocked him to the ground.

This time, there was such a violent cheering. All the nobles shouted doronin\'s name and thanked him for winning back the honor for the nobles of Smolensk. Especially in the cavalry and gun duel, which is most valued by knights.

"Doronin, doronin." the supporters of doronin in the noble guard shouted with extra strength.

Fiordo walked up to doronin with a smile and gave him a big hug with open arms. This can also be seen as fiordo\'s recognition of commander doronin\'s position.

"Damn it. Is today my good Friday? Is there anything bad waiting for me?" little anzumov was extremely depressed after repeated defeats.

At this time, as if to respond to little anzumov\'s low mood, a horse ran into the castle.
