Liu De also found Yu Chigong's name among the four good people, and it was obvious that Yu Chigong's archery skills were not bad in it, but it was just good.

Compared to horse warfare, Wei Chigong is actually not good at archery, but who would have thought that there would be so few good bows this time.

Liu De attached great importance to gōng nǔ, especially in the case of his own lack of cavalry, since as the lord of Yanzhou, Liu De had to consider the most difficult enemies in the past, Donghu and Linhu, although when the heavy snow came, he got the news that the Hu people had no intention of going south.

This should have made Liu De feel more at ease, and made Liu De pay more attention to Yanzhou's recuperation, but Liu De knew that this was only temporary.

More than two years have passed since more than a dozen Hu tribes such as Linhu, Dihu, and Beihu besieged Donghu and competed for the position of the overlord of the grassland.

Liu De guessed that maybe this year or next year, there might be news on the grassland, and he had to prepare early.

Archers, especially the gōng nǔ legions that form the battle array, are the best weapons against the cavalry of the Hu people due to the lack of war horses, but this requires very outstanding logistical support, you only have archers, you can't even get arrows, it's useless!

At the beginning, Li Ling was besieged by 30,000 cavalry of the Xiongnu with 5,000 gōng nǔ hands, and fought and left, and later Shan Yu sent more than 80,000 cavalry on the left and right to attack Li Ling, killing nearly 10,000 Xiongnu.

There is also Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong, who killed Wuhuan is a ghost crying wolf, but in the face of Lu Yi's 800 Xiandeng strong crossbows, in the end, after a short period of glory, White Horse Yicong disappeared into the long river of history like a meteor.

Therefore, Liu De summed up a conclusion, if you want to defeat the Hu people, a strong gōng nǔ army is indispensable, and now he has a marksman under his command, Huang Zhong Huang Old Man, uh... Now they are in the prime of life, and they are not old.

But there is only Huang Zhong alone, which is still too little, I wanted to discover a group of good hands who are good at using bows and arrows in this martial arts, but I didn't expect it to be so few.

Having said that, Liu De's eyes skimmed to Bai Qi, and Bai Qi's archers are [gods]!

How about the white bow?

Liu De asked directly, and asked Bai Qi directly.

Bai Qi replied: "Like a target on the school field, it is still relatively easy for the tenth middle school." ”

Liu De nodded, Bai Qi often leads the White Horse to fight, every battle must be based on cavalry and archery, and it is quite normal to have strong archery, and the adaptability is [God] more to indicate Bai Qi's ability to command the legion!

Bai Qi said to Liu De at this time: "Lord, the minister has a matter, I beg the lord to allow it!" ”

"What?"

Bai Qi said: "The ministers are ordered by the lord to form a legion, but the white horse regent, including the other cavalry battalions, has no main general, for the cavalry, a general who charges forward is very helpful to boost morale!" ”

"Isn't it okay for a big country?" Liu De asked.

"The great powers are not good at leading cavalry, and I want him to be in charge of an infantry battalion. And the other generals, whether it is seniority or ability, do not quite meet the requirements. Bai Qi replied.

Liu De thought for a while and asked, "Then what do you suggest?" ”

Only then did Bai Qi say his premeditated thoughts: "Lord, the minister wants Qin Qiong, Qin Qiong will definitely be able to exert the greatest combat power of the cavalry!" ”

"Okay, you're white, this is Qin Qiong's idea a long time ago!" Liu De laughed and teased, then nodded and agreed: "You are right, Qin Qiong is indeed suitable to lead the cavalry, then transfer Qin Qiong to your command and be the chief general of the cavalry!" ”

"Thank you, my lord!"

Liu De pointed to the top of the school field and continued to dialogue: "Maybe there is a cavalry general you want here!" Take a good look! ”

"Oh? It seems that the lord has discovered some great character! The minister should take a good look! Bai Qi straightened his body and said to Liu De.

"Dang!"

In the afternoon, the gong finally sounded.

This marked the beginning of the afternoon equestrian competition.

The rules of the equestrian assessment are very simple, ten wooden people are placed on the school field, and a wooden board is placed on the head of the wooden people, and the distance between the wooden people is near and far, there are no rules to follow, the test taker is holding a spear or a large knife, and stabs left and right on the back of the galloping horse, and the wooden man can not fall.

Of course, the speed of the war horse must be required, the wooden man is equivalent to the enemy, the enemy will not wait for you to stab him down slowly, of course, it is not allowed to stop the war horse, and it is not allowed to turn the horse's head, and the stop of the war horse also means the end of the assessment.

Knocking down nine and ten pieces is excellent, seven or eight pieces are good, five and six pieces are qualified, and four or less are inferior. The standard is the same as archery.

If there are war horses, you can ride your own war horses, and if you don't have war horses, the army has also prepared more than 100 war horses for them, and it's not that you don't want to prepare more, but there are not many war horses under Liu De's command, and it's already very good to be able to free up a hundred or so horses.

The same is true for blades, but all the weapons prepared by Yan Nan are standard spears and long-pole broadswords, if they are used directly, they will definitely be very rusty, and they will definitely not be as good as the blades they are used to.

Because of the school field, this equestrian competition can only be carried out by two people, but it can make Liu De and others in the stands see the competition clearly, but I am afraid that it will take longer.

At first, everyone was more interested and energetic, but equestrianism is obviously more difficult than archery, and many people were even thrown off the horse by the war horse, which caused the people outside the field to laugh, at least these days they have the capital to brag with others.

It also made Liu De full of black lines, quite depressed, if this martial arts move is not held, it will definitely be a blow to his prestige, and the family will also secretly smear himself.

However, with Wei Chi Gong here, this martial arts move is definitely very outstanding, and the family's wish is about to be disappointed!

When Wei Chigong got on the horse, Liu De cheered up, even if Bai Qi's political attributes were low, he knew that this person was Liu De's concern, so he straightened his waist and looked carefully.

The war horse under Yu Chigong's crotch was selected by him from hundreds of war horses, and it can be seen that Yu Chigong's vision is definitely good.

What Wei Chigong is holding in his hand is a horse lance, compared to a longer gun, the horse lance has no advantage in such a competition, the power of the horse lance is greater than that of the spear, but it is very laborious to wield, and the spear is more flexible.

Oh, by the way, Qin Qiong is also good at using horse lances.

Wei Chigong's appearance also aroused the cheers of the surrounding people, because Wei Chigong was too impressive, he was the first strong man to defeat ten people in a row for such a long time.

Too many people put the treasure on Wei Chigong, and the casino owner is also a person with vision, he doesn't want to lose money, so he repeatedly lowers Wei Chigong's odds.

Well, very businessman.

Yu Chigong's face was dark, he couldn't see his expression at all, the horse lance was slightly raised, and the momentum of the whole person became different, as sharp as a sword out of the sheath.

The soldiers on the side raised the flag high, and Wei Chigong slowly tightened the reins, ready to go.

Let the flag fall in an instant.

The war horse also shouted with Wei Chigong, and the horse's hooves were raised high, stepping on a cloud of smoke and dust.

"So fast!"

The people behind exclaimed.

In order to be able to hit the plank, many people in front deliberately lowered the speed of the horse, and it almost passed slowly, and compared with them, Wei Chigong really treated the competition venue as a battlefield, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and constantly urged the war horse to run forward, which made the generals on the high platform very appreciative, and Bai Qi also nodded secretly, such a strong man was born for the battlefield.

The horse lance was like a swimming dragon in Wei Chigong's hands, as fast as lightning, and the tip of the lance kept tapping, knocking down the wooden plank on the wooden figure.

Seeing the planks being knocked to the ground, the people around them were like beating xīng fèn jì, their adrenal glands soared, and they kept howling, cheering for Yu Chigong, but the other person who appeared with Yu Chigong was given a cold reception, and no one paid attention to him at all.

Because Yu Chigong's performance was so outstanding, no one could block his light at all, and everyone became Yu Chigong's foil.

The recorder shouted, "All ten planks have been knocked down, and the results are excellent!" ”

"Wow!"

Sure enough, hearing Wei Chigong's achievements, the people around him became even more excited, in addition to cheering for Wei Chigong's wonderful performance, another reason was that many people pressed the treasure on Wei Chigong's body, obviously making a lot of money.

Liu De asked Bai Qi next to him, "How is it?" How is this person? ”

Bai Qi applauded softly, and his hot eyes looked at Wei Chigong...

Bai Qi said excitedly to Liu De: "Lord, this minister wants it, his riding skills are really beyond the vast majority of people!" ”

"Okay, let him join your cavalry, if he can win the champion, order him to be the captain, let him be Qin Qiong's lieutenant, if he can't win, let him take the position of uncle, and if he wants to be promoted in the future, he will use military merit in exchange!"

Liu De said to Bai Qi.

"Yes!"

At this time, there was a sudden noise outside the school field, and everyone looked back, it turned out to be Dai Zong, wasn't he in Jinyang? The question arose in everyone's minds, what had happened?

Dai Zong's boots were covered with mud, and his whole body was soaked with sweat, which shows that Dai Zong had indeed suffered a lot of sins along the way, and the road was very difficult to walk, and it was muddy.

"Lord!"

Dai Zong came to Liu De, knelt down on one knee, and handed the bamboo tube in his arms to Liu De, which contained Jinyang's military intelligence report.

Dai Zong said to Liu De: "My lord, General Peng and Captain Wei took advantage of Yang Bi's troops to attack Jinyang, captured Changyang City, and defeated Yang Bi's troops outside the city and returned to Yang Bi's troops, annihilated 40,000 enemies, captured 20,000, and the rest of the defeated army scattered and fled, and the main general Yang Bi was also nowhere to be found, and our army won a great victory!" ”

"Good! Joyfully! It's a pleasure! ”

When Liu De heard this, he shouted, it was like drinking an ice spring on a hot day, hearty, Liu De didn't expect that Peng Yue and Wei Yan, who were sent out, would give himself such a surprise, he could have been able to keep Jinyang Pass was already considered his own victory, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected joy.

If it weren't for the fact that the system didn't tell Liu De and the two of them, Liu De would have thought that the two of them had died in battle!

The people behind Liu De also bowed like Liu De: "Congratulations to the lord!" ”

Liu De waved his hand and ordered: "Inform Quanzhou of the news of this great victory, Peng Yue is the general of Zhenwei {six products}, Wei Yan is the partial general, each will be rewarded with five hundred taels of gold, five horses of brocade, and the rest of the soldiers will be rewarded!" ”

Peng Yue was suddenly promoted from a partial general to a general Zhenwei, and became a military general in the forefront of the military, which is already a high honor, and Peng Yue's record is too brilliant.

With more than 7,000 people attacking nearly 200,000 Yang Bi's troops, although the vanguard led by Yang Bi was only 30,000, after Peng Yue defeated these 30,000 pioneers, he directly attacked the large army of the rear marching slowly without stopping, and there was no resistance at all.

A male lion breaks into a flock of thousands of sheep, and you can expect the flock to kill the lion?

It's a pity that Peng Yue has too few soldiers and horses, otherwise the battle record may have to be doubled, so Peng Yue may really be a shock to Hebei, but such a record is enough to make Peng Yue famous in Hebei.

Of course, Liu De will also be rewarded, which is what Peng Yue and Wei Yan deserve.

What a time for this big win! Liu De said secretly in his heart. It has the effect of stabilizing the morale of the army and the people, and also lets those families who are a little restless see who is in charge of this Yanzhou!

Sure enough, when the news reached the school, not only the people were cheering, but even the people who participated in the martial arts in the school were also determined, joining a thriving force, there were many opportunities, to worship the generals, glorify the ancestors, and sprout the descendants!

When the news spread to all parts of Yanzhou, some families who were ready to move and constantly criticized Liu De for violating the law of their ancestors also covered their voices and continued to wait for the moment when Liu De revealed his flaws.

Of course, the martial arts continued.

The people who participated in the martial arts were also in high spirits, and Liu De also found that there were a few good seedlings among them, and it was not easy to achieve good equestrian results.

Liu De asked Xiang Zheng Fu about the identities of the others, but he didn't expect that two-thirds of them were all children of the family, although the status of these children of the family was not high, and they were either concubines or partial houses.

But in comparison, the resources they obtained were far higher than those of the poor people, just like equestrianism and horsemanship, and the common people had no money to prepare war bows and war horses, and they would definitely be left behind by these families.

Fortunately, the family generally resisted martial arts, otherwise the family would have occupied more positions.

Of course, in Liu De's view, these children of families with low status are more worthy of being wooed by themselves, because they do not have a high status in the family, they will be discriminated against, and even make things difficult, the family cannot help them, and they can't be like their sons-in-law, the so-called official positions are at their fingertips.

Only by themselves can they improve their status.

After these families get more glory, they will attract more people to come over, join the army, or participate in martial arts.

Of course, this will also cause the family's infiltration of the army, which is unavoidable, but in Liu De's view, this is not a thing.
