Chapter 18: Xue Rengui is an arrow to the town of heroes
In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, everyone was still martial, and he was already a master of archery if he could shoot through two layers of armor with one arrow, and everyone on and off the field was very excited to see it.
After everyone shouted yes, Pei Xingjian reacted and hurriedly peeked at Li Chengqian, only to see that Li Chengqian was still staring at the square with an expressionless face, and he didn't care about the performance of this deputy leader, and couldn't help but secretly worry about Xue Rengui.
Zhao Jie is not here, and the people standing next to him are all human spirits, and they have understood Pei Xingjian's performance, the more brave these people are, the more unfavorable things are to His Royal Highness the Prince, so they all suppressed the excitement in their hearts and pretended to stand there calmly, but the six-rate generals who stood in the distance had no consideration of this aspect at all, and some of them were dancing excitedly, as if they were intentional.
Zhao Jie put on new armor for the target post, and Du He started to wave the flag again.
This time it was the general of the left internal guard who came on the field, and I saw that he was the same as the deputy leader above, he also accelerated his horse, opened his bow and shot arrows, and the arrows hit the bull's-eye.
It's just that no one applauded this time, and everyone was waiting for Zhao Jie to confirm that he had shot through several layers of armor.
"The arrow pierces through the armor."
With this shout, a large sigh sounded on the field, but several people around Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief.
The next to play was the general of the right internal guard, Li Chengqian secretly said in his heart: I don't know if Helan Chu's stone archery skills are really clever, or because of Hou Junji's relationship, the three generals of the internal guard rate let him? Probably the latter is more likely!
Li Chengqian looked at the general of the right internal guard, and he also picked up the horse to speed up, pulled the bow and released the arrow, but he heard the sound of the target before and after, and couldn't help but follow everyone to look at the arrow target.
I saw two arrows nailed to the target at the bull's-eye, thinking that this one had some real skills, and then I heard Zhao Jie shouting excitedly: "Two arrows are connected, and the arrows penetrate three layers of armor." ”
"Good!" The sound of the square exploded instantly, and the soldiers in the square all raised their arms and jumped straight in excitement. Hao Chujun, who was standing next to Li Chengqian, took a few steps forward excitedly, as if he wanted to see this general with the right inner leader clearly, but after the general with the right inner rate finished shooting the arrow, he beat his horse and walked to the front two to stand still.
After the excitement, everyone around Li Chengqian was worried about Xue Rengui, and the eyes of the soldiers on the field who looked at Xue Rengui changed from anger to contempt.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you want to ...... the slaves?" the old ghost whispered in Li Chengqian's ear and asked if he wanted to make a trick?
Li Chengqian shook his head ruthlessly, joking that Xue Rengui compared arrows with these pieces of material, and he still had to make a trick?
Li Chengqian was thinking about it but didn't see anyone coming out to shoot arrows, but he was busy looking over but saw Helan Chushi signaling Xue Rengui to shoot first, Xue Rengui shook his head and didn't step forward.
Helan Chushi shook his head pretending to be at this time, slowly lifted the reins of the horse, turned the horse's head suddenly, and ran back, ran straight out of the ground, and then turned the horse's head and galloped.
Because he had run back for a while, the speed of the horse had increased to the point that soon everyone could not see him clearly on the horse, and they saw him whizzing past the target and heard the sound of "knock, knock, knock" from the side of the target.
This time, before Zhao Jiebao shot through several layers of armor, cheers were already heard in the square.
Helan Chushi rode on his horse with a smile on his face, walked slowly on the square, and from time to time he hugged his fists to thank the soldiers on both sides.
Li Chengqian secretly thought: This Helan Chushi is really fearless, knowing that I am going to arrange for Xue Rengui to train the internal guards of the East Palace, he still dares to be so swaggering.
However, the more proud he is now, the more embarrassed he will be, and he doesn't have to worry about this time, there will be a fight later, let Xue Rengui stand on his own.
"Three arrows in a row, arrows penetrate three layers of armor"
"Three arrows in a row, arrows penetrate three layers of armor"
Zhao Jie shouted excitedly twice, which made the atmosphere on the field more enthusiastic, the soldiers on both sides cheered non-stop, and some people shouted "Lord Helan is the first ...... of archery"
Du He didn't stop waving the flag a few times.
"Listen to me...... Helan Chushi shouted loudly as he stretched out his hands and pressed down.
The field gradually quieted down, and Helan Chushi said to everyone: "Everyone, please be quiet first, there is still a friend here who hasn't shot." ”
"Lord Helan is the first in archery, and it is just a shame for others to shoot again."
"People are already hiding, haha!"
Everyone saw that Xue Rengui was no longer in place, and the people on both sides of the square laughed again.
Just as these people were laughing at Xue Rengui unscrupulously, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the other side of the arrow target. When I turned my head to look, I saw that it was Xue Rengui, who was dressed in white, was running towards this side on a tall jujube red horse, and the horse was running faster and faster along the way.
When they ran two hundred steps away from the target post, everyone only felt a flower in front of them, as if Xue Rengui was moving on the horse, and then they heard three loud bangs of "bang, bang, bang", followed by a "boom" The target post fell.
The whole square was silent, and more than 2,000 people stared blankly at the fallen target post.
Li Chengqian didn't know what was going on, and the old ghost who was busy went to see what was going on.
After a long while, I heard Zhao Jie's stammering shout: "Three arrows in a row, penetrating the armor seven - seven layers-"
Quiet, very quiet
In the next second, "boom-" The square completely exploded, and all the soldiers screamed in their mouths, jumping and waving their fists at Xue Rengui. The generals who were originally listed on both sides of the throne in the East Palace almost all jumped up, and they all secretly wondered in their hearts where did the prince's palace invite such a master silently?
During the Zhenguan period, the men of the Tang Dynasty were very martial spirit, and when Li Shimin conquered Goguryeo, many people were willing to bring their own weapons and dry food to follow the imperial army.
This martial spirit ensured that the territory of the Tang Dynasty expanded to the maximum during the Li Dynasty, and also ensured that the political and political forces of the central power of the two dynasties of Wu Zetian and Zhongzong had been tilting against each other for nearly 20 years, and the Tang Dynasty would not be invaded by foreign people.
Now is the time when this martial wind is thriving, when the momentum is the most fierce, there is a fire in people's hearts, and at this time, Xue Rengui is to ignite this fire in everyone's hearts.
The left and right prison gate rates and the left and right internal guard rates in the East Palace are Li Chengqian's direct personal soldiers, although the military discipline is poor, but the martial arts and cavalry are first-class, if nothing happens in the future, these people are all middle and high-level officers in the Tang Army, and they are proud in their hearts, they will not be easily convinced.
But Xue Rengui's shot today made the soldiers of the whole army in the square worship him almost fanatically, because his shot was so beautiful.
Xue Rengui's shooting method is to shoot back on a fast horse, which is much better than the sideways shooting method of the previous people, and the most exciting thing is the three arrows in a row, penetrating the armor and seven layers, this is the legendary condor shooter!
Such an archer is extremely rare even if it grows on horseback in the northern grasslands, a tribe has an eagle archer, that is the treasure of a clan, although the stars are shining during the Zhenguan period, but there is no one in the condor archer.
When everyone saw a marksman like Xue Rengui at first glance, they were only excited in their hearts, and they threw all those small emotions just now into the clouds.
Li Chengqian finally smiled when he saw this, and said to the old ghost who had just returned: "Tell him to rest for a quarter of an hour, and then start fighting." ”
Just after a while, I saw Du He and Zhao Jie bring Xue Rengui and Helan Chushi to see Li Chengqian, and they were all busy saluting when they came over, Li Chengqian didn't know what they were doing, but said lightly: "Let's be flat." ”
Li Chengqian looked at Du He and said, "Why don't you compare?" Isn't there another battle?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't wait." Helan Chushi hugged his fists.
"It's not better than the training behind it, and the arrangement of the Lone King is difficult for anyone to convince, right?" Li Chengqian didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
"The ministers are willing to obey General Xue's training!" This time, the four of them said it together.
"You haven't fought yet, you're convinced?" Li Chengqian deliberately asked again.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, look at General Xue's divine shooting, all the soldiers in front of this Jiade Hall are convinced, and they have already established their authority, so there is no need to fight anymore." Helan Chushi said with a wry smile, obviously having insight into Li Chengqian's intention to give them to Xue Rengui Liwei, and he didn't want to lose people again and be beaten in vain.
"You will see that his archery is superb, and if you are convinced of his archery, then you will fight again, and see how his martial arts are." Li Chengqian said without doubt.
Helan Chushi hurriedly knelt down on one knee when he heard this, and the other three also knelt down on one knee when they saw it, Helan Chushi said in a panic: "Ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for mercy, General Xue is born with divine power, and three arrows can penetrate seven layers of armor, how can the ministers compare with him?" The ministers were happy and convinced of General Xue, and they would completely obey his training in the future, and there was no lie. ”
Xue Rengui has superb archery skills and the protection of the prince, he can't get anything but embarrassment when he beats him, Helan Chushi is a person who is good at protecting himself, how could he suffer this big loss because of the battle of will?
