Seeing the bald princes repeatedly making things difficult, Yuan Futong couldn't help but be displeased, but he couldn't refute it at all. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This bald prince is the Marquis of Wuyong, who is the one who descends among the princes of the Seventy-two Roads.

Moreover, this Marquis of Wuyong is extremely prestigious among the princes of the Seventy-two Roads, and there are a large number of vassals around him.

Therefore, as long as this Marquis of Wuyong does not accept Su Yuan, it is impossible for all the princes of the Seventy-two Roads to surrender.

Seeing Wu Yonghou's challenge, Su Yuan said lightly: "Okay, I accept your challenge." ”

There are 3,500 cloak soldiers behind him, it can be said that he is one against a hundred, and with a master like Zheng Lun, Su Yuan is certainly not afraid of any challenge.

Wu Yonghou said: "Since we want to compare, then let's gamble." If you win, I'll support you as the leader of the alliance with both hands, but if you lose, all the cloaked troops behind you will be under my command. ”

Su Yuan snorted coldly in his heart and said, "Okay, then I'll compare with you." ”

Seeing that Marquis Wu Yong smiled coldly, he said: "Okay, since you want to be the leader of the alliance, then you must have extraordinary bravery, so I want to challenge you personally." ”

Hearing Wu Yonghou's words, Su Yuan couldn't help but be stunned.

Although Su Yuan is not afraid of challenges, Su Quanzhong's body is really too bad, and the three thousand five hundred cloaked soldiers who have been trained in the past ten days are already exhausted, and if they want to accept the challenge, they don't know if they can do it.

At this time, the man hidden in the dark sneered: "Su Quanzhong, Su Quanzhong, I see how you, a body hollowed out by wine and meat, can fight against the unstoppable Marquis Wu Yong?"

However, how could Su Yuan admit defeat now, and said at the moment: "Okay, I don't know what you want to compare with me?"

Marquis Wu Yong smiled slightly and said, "It's very simple, I want to race horses with you." ”

Hearing this, Zheng Lun, who was standing behind Su Yuan, couldn't help but change his face.

Because in the past ten days, Zheng Lun has already known that Su Yuan can't ride a horse at all, and every time after training, everyone rides back, and Su Yuan returns on foot.

The only time Su Yuan rode on the horse, he fell off the horse.

And if Marquis Wu Yong wants to compete with Su Yuan on horseback, he must be a master of horses.

However, even if Wu Yonghou's equestrian skills are ordinary, Su Yuan, a rookie, will not win at all.

Hearing that what Wu Yonghou was going to compete with happened to be his weakness, Su Yuan couldn't help but narrow, and immediately understood that there must be an internal ghost among them.

But now, Su Yuan couldn't help but agree, and laughed at the moment: "Okay, that's better than riding a horse, but I want to prepare, and we'll see you here in three days." ”

Marquis Wu Yong was already confident, laughed at the moment, and said, "Okay, then I'll see you in three days." ”

……

in the armament battalion.

Su Yuan, Zheng Lun, Hei Niu and others gathered together, all with sad faces, sighing one by one.

Although Su Yuan fought for three days, riding a horse was all about practice, and it was impossible to practice skillfully without a few months.

With Su Yuan's level of horseback riding, it was impossible to ride a horse in three days, let alone compare to Marquis Wu Yong, who fought on horseback.

Seeing everyone's disappointed looks, Su Yuan smiled and said, "If you don't accumulate steps, how can you reach thousands of miles." Even if it's hard to learn to ride a horse, you need to connect little by little, and since there are still three days left, let's not waste time. ”

Although it made sense to hear what Su Yuan said, everyone still sighed, and Zheng Lun said, "Okay, although we know that we can't succeed, let's try it." ”

With that, the three of them got up, walked out of the room, and came to the backyard of the Ordnance Battalion.

The backyard is more spacious, and a red horse has already been led and waited there.

Before coming to the horse, Zheng Lun said in detail: "Brother Su, let me tell me the essentials of horseback riding, you need to tighten your legs, stand upright, and use your arms to maintain balance......

Su Yuan kept Zheng Lun's words firmly in his heart and kept nodding.

After Zheng Lun finished speaking, Su Yuan let out a sigh of relief, glanced at the tall horse in front of him, and said, "Okay, then let me give it a try." ”

After that, Su Yuan followed what Zheng Lun said, grabbed the horse's mane with one hand, kicked his legs, and sat on the horse's back at once.

Zheng Lun and Hei Niu were overjoyed and were about to applaud.

saw Su Yuan "stab" a sound, then slid off the horse, and fell to the ground with a "plop".

Seeing this, Zheng Lun and Hei Niu stomped their feet in annoyance, and immediately rushed up to help Su Yuan up.

Su Yuan patted the dirt on his body and said, "It was a mistake just now, I'll do it again." ”

After that, Su Yuan jumped on his legs again and jumped on the horse's back.

But this time, Su Yuan fell down at a faster speed.

In this way, Su Yuan jumped on horseback nearly a hundred times, but also fell down nearly a hundred times at the same time.

Su Yuan not only fell all over his face, but was also so tired that he was out of breath, and finally sat on the ground, no longer having the strength to stand up.

Zheng Lun and Hei Niu looked helpless, although they had all experienced this kind of practice, and they were generally able to sit firmly on horseback after ten days of practice.

But now the time is urgent, there is no such time.

Su Yuan sat on the ground, looked at the jujube red horse that was sliding around easily in front of him, and said in his heart: This horse's back is too smooth, and it is too easy to fall off. I think I was also a master of riding motorcycles, and the seat of the motorcycle was very comfortable, which was as difficult to sit on as a horse.

Thinking of this, Su Yuan suddenly stood up from the ground, looked at the jujube red horse in front of him, blinked his eyes, and said, "How do I feel that this horse is missing something." ”

Hei Niu shook his head and said, "This horse was specially sent by Yuan Futong, but it is the best horse in Beihai City, and there is nothing missing." ”

As he spoke, the black bull looked at the horse's eyes and ears, and even opened the mouth of the red horse, looked at the teeth, and sure enough, there was no shortage of one.

However, Su Yuan became more and more excited the more he looked at it, and then patted his thigh and said, "I see, no wonder I don't like this horse, it turns out that there is no saddle and horse pedals." ”

Hearing the two unfamiliar names in Su Yuan's mouth, Hei Niu and Zheng Lun glanced at each other and looked at each other.

"Could it be that the eldest brother can't learn to ride a horse, and he's a little crazy?"

Just when Zheng Lun and Hei Niu were confused, they saw Su Yuan turn around and run out of the backyard, and at the same time shouted at Hei Niu: "Hei Niu, immediately gather craftsmen and prepare to start work." ”

According to historical records, the saddle stirrup was invented in the Western Han Dynasty.

Before the Western Han Dynasty, people rode on the backs of bare horses, and only clamped the belly of the horse with their legs to prevent themselves from falling, but they could not effectively use bows and arrows, and could not use knives and spears to slash or assassinate at will.

After the invention of the saddle and stirrups, the cavalry became the most powerful class of troops by fixing the feet to provide lateral stability, making it possible for the cavalry to use the speed of the horse to make a frontal impact.

Therefore, when Su Yuan talked about saddles and stirrups, Hei Niu and Zheng Lun didn't know what to do at all.

Meanwhile, in another house in Butterworth City.

Marquis Wu Yong sat in the room, looked at Yuan Xishi in front of him, and praised: "The news you provided this time is good, if I win Su Yuan, your reward will definitely be indispensable." ”

Yuan Xishi hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Thank you Lord Wuyong for your appreciation, if the Lord wins him, I have only one request, please hand over Su Yuan and Su Daji to me for disposal." ”

Marquis Wu Yong said: "Okay, there is no problem. As soon as I get the cloaked soldiers, I'll hand you over these two useless people at once. ”

Three days later.

On the training ground.

Marquis Wuyong rode proudly on a black horse, waiting for Su Yuan's arrival.

Yuan Futong and the other seventy-one princes were all standing aside, equally anxiously waiting.

Only Yuan Xishi stood there confidently, and said secretly in his heart: Su Quanzhong, Su Quanzhong, after today's battle, you and Su Daji will fall into my hands again, see how I torture you.

Just when Yuan Xishi was secretly happy, he heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the training ground, and saw Su Yuan riding a jujube red horse and galloping into the training ground.
