Chapter 307
[TLN: Concealed Weapons is changed to Fake Concealed Weapons]
Perhaps because these Carthaginian soldiers were already familiar with the sound of guns, they had only been startled . Afterwards, they pulled out their javelins and threw at this direction after taking a deep breath .
For soldiers in the BCE, as long as they were trained well, then throwing three javelins consecutively was a normal thing .
At this time, the first wave of javelins was about to hit Wei Xiao Bei, but with one leap and a grab using his hands, he had caught all the javelins flying towards him . Before he landed, he twisted his body and threw back the javelin .
In ancient China, any concealed weapons expert were also experts at catching concealed weapons .
The reason was simple . Concealed weapons were not just as they are considered to be underhanded tactics .
Even if knights were to use concealed weapons, they would always shout, "Take this!"
However, it was impossible to change how martial artists looked at concealed weapons .
Anyone who used concealed weapons could not complain about they were used against them . This meant that catching the opponents' concealed weapons was very important .
Naturally, in Wuxia novels, the people who were the best at catching concealed weapons was the Tang Clan .
In reality, the Tang Clan was indeed such an existence .
Wei Xiao Bei had also pondered about this . His own skill was called [Fake Concealed Weapon] . Just the name itself was strange .
A concealed weapon should just be a concealed weapon . Why did it have to have fake in the title .
Even if he had not learned a system of concealed weapons, his skill should only be a bit inferior to real ones .
However, Wei Xiao Bei had slightly understood .
It was not that he did not learn concealed weapons, but it was from his fundamental understanding of them .
He remembered the teaching when he was learning military boxing . His leader would always say, "If you want to punch someone, then you need to also take punches!"
Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei had not yet understood these words . As a new recruit, he had been pulled by his leader to to the mud ground and learned the martial art of handle falls, Dao Gong, causing his arms to be inflamed .
Afterwards, Wei Xiao Bei had understood it . Dao Gong was used to protect oneself . If one had been hit and fell down, then the pain would be excruciating .
However, after learning this, the pain and damage of being thrown down by the enemy would decrease, giving one the chance to counterattack .
Concealed weapons were also the same . Just learning how to throw them was just the surface . The most important points was learning how to catch them .
Wei Xiao Bei had truly understood this point .
In many ancient Chinese concealed weapon arts and secret books, throwing concealed weapons was only 30% while catching weapons was more than 60% .
Wei Xiao Bei had already tried catching concealed weapons before, so he could be considered as lucky .
Catching concealed weapons was several times harder than throwing them .
At the very least, with Wei Xiao Bei's agility, catching his own concealed weapon was not a problem .
Without learning the proper method, it would be hard to catch the concealed weapon of an enemy with the same strength .
Naturally, this was limited to equal strength or enemies that were stronger .
Just like these Carthaginian soldiers, the javelins that they threw, whether it was power or speed, were a lot inferior to what Wei Xiao Bei threw .
Even if Wei Xiao Bei threw his own weapon, it would not change much .
It could be seen that concealed weapon techniques were only one small item in the big scheme .
Thus Wei Xiao Bei had easily grabbed the javelin that was thrown towards him and then threw it back .
On the other hand, the Carthaginian soldiers did not have this kind of ability .
Pu! Pu! Pu! The sounds of a javelin running through something echoed as the Carthaginian soldiers who were preparing to fire a second wave had been decreased by more than 20 people . Every one of them had been pierced through the chest while half of them had been hit as the javelins pierced through the first line .
However, the Carthaginians were well trained . Even if their allies had been killed, they continued to act like robots as they followed protocol and threw their javelins .
This time, Wei Xiao Bei did not stay on the spot to let himself get hit anymore . He jumped up and grabbed the javelins with both hands . Then like an elastic net, the javelins were shot back at the Carthaginians .
Crazy counterattack!
In an instant, more than half of the Carthaginian soldiers had died .
However, this was not the end . When he landed on the ground, he let his entire body land on the ground and used all four limbs to steady himself . Then like a big spider, he shot his body forward to the Carthaginians .
In less than half a minute of punches and kicks, only two remaining soldiers could stand their ground . The rest of the soldiers were on the ground, groaning in pain .
Wei Xiao Bei did not kill the rest of the Carthaginian soldiers . He only stopped them from moving .
