Chapter 132: Contest

They left here first, and everyone followed.

When I came to a huge clearing, I saw more than a dozen horses lined up, looking up and neighing. And from the foot of the horse all the way out, clearly formed more than ten runways. The runway is made up of hemp ropes arranged horizontally. And the end of the runway, probably two miles away from here, is planting a red flag waving in the wind.

The first skill to be demonstrated was equestrianism. For these Xi people, who grew up on horseback, equestrianism is one of their best skills.

"General Zhang, look at these horses, but they are all the best horses in our main department, looking at the flying mane, strong horse legs, strong body, and beautiful ponytail, it is really amazing!" Tong Jin stroked the smooth back of a yellow horse and said proudly to Zhang Yunwen.

Zhang Yunwen looked at these horses and couldn't help nodding, fat and healthy, they are indeed good horses!

At this time, a great man of the Xi nationality stepped forward and said in a strange Chinese dialect: "Respected Lord Tong Jin and this Han general, our horses are the best horses in the grassland, everyone knows this, but our warriors are also the bravest warriors on the grassland. The generals of the Tang Dynasty, I heard that the people who can become generals in the Tang Dynasty are brave people, so would the general be willing to have a horse race with me? ”

"Nonsense!" A leader suddenly said, "General Zhang is the general of the Tang Dynasty, how can he compete with you with such an identity!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, this person only said that his identity was different and he couldn't compete with him, but he didn't say which one was stronger and which was weaker, I'm afraid this provocative warrior wouldn't be convinced!

Sure enough, I only heard the big man say unconvinced: "Can't the generals of the Tang Dynasty compete!" ”

At this time, Wu Peng stood up: "To deal with a nobody like you, we still need our general, let me come!" ”

Seeing someone come out, the big man was about to say something, and when he saw that Wu Peng was also Han, he immediately muttered: "As long as the Han is good!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yunwen and the others couldn't help but laugh in their hearts, but the leader looked at the big man with an embarrassed face but helplessly.

More than a dozen warriors plus one Wu Peng each picked a horse as a racehorse. When Wu Peng was a ranger in Chang'an, he was skilled in arching horses and had profound attainments in horseback riding. After selecting the horse, he first communicated with the horse, stroked the horse's jaw, long mane, etc., and then turned over and got on the horse after a while.

Look at the knights nearby, already on horseback.

A leader, as the referee, explained the rules first. There are two miles from here to the finish line, and whoever rides a horse first and pulls down the red flag to return will be the winner. Of course, a row of hemp rope on the ground is not an ornament, the player needs to bend down to pick up the hemp rope when passing the hemp rope, and in the case of returning at the same time, whoever has more hemp rope is the winner.

After the announcement, the man on the other end shouted, "Who else is not ready?" ”

None of the contestants said anything, so the man yelled, "Let's go!" ”

I saw more than a dozen horses running towards the finish line like arrows from the string. I saw the horse's hooves swinging like flying, and the knight whipped the shadow. When they reached the edge of the seven hemp ropes a mile away, the knights bent down in unison, their fingers running over the tips of the grass, and the hemp ropes gathered in the knights' hands. However, not everyone can get seven hemp ropes, and many more can only get two or three.

Zhang Yunwen stared nervously at Wu Peng's riding figure, although he knew that Wu Peng's riding skills were good, but compared with these Xi people who grew up on horseback since childhood, who was stronger?

The figure gradually ran away and gradually became smaller, and Zhang Yunwen was so powerful that he could barely see it. I had to stop looking and wait for the final result.

The Xi herdsmen who were watching around also stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance.

It didn't take long for a row of knights to rush in this direction, and the first one was a Xi knight. Suddenly, the surrounding Xi herdsmen let out a burst of enthusiastic cheers.

When he ran back to the starting point, Wu Peng fell behind the first place by half-length and became second. And the provocative warrior was only in third place.

Wu Peng shook his head with some regret, in the end, he was not familiar with this horse! If you give him a day to familiarize himself with horse nature, he may be able to get the first place.

Seeing that his warrior pressed the Han knight, Tong Jin and the five leaders all smiled. Zhang Yunwen smiled faintly, it seems that Wu Peng's riding skills are good, and he can rank second among these ridiculers.

"My lord forgives my sins, my subordinates didn't come out on top!" Wu Peng's face was full of shame, and his title to Zhang Yunwen changed from "leader" to "adult"!

Zhang Yunwen patted Wu Peng on the shoulder: "Actually, you did a good job, you don't have to blame yourself so much!" ”

Wu Peng still retreated with a ashamed face.

"This little general's riding skills are also very good! I even picked up all the hemp rope and took a second one! The warrior of my Xi clan took the first place, but only picked up five hemp ropes! Tong Jin said to Zhang Yunwen.

Zhang Yunwen smiled "hehe": "My Tang boy can afford to take it and put it down, if he loses, he loses, there is nothing to say!" Besides, isn't the second game a bow and arrow! ”

"Okay, General Zhang is arrogant! Let's let the archers of the Xi clan come to see the marksmen of the Tang Dynasty! Tong Jin said loudly.

Suddenly, the eyes of those warriors were all focused on Zhang Yunwen.

"Ma Wangshan, this time you go up!" Zhang Yunwen shouted at the reconnaissance battalion.

Ma Wangshan lifted a four-stone bow and walked out.

Several Xi warriors also picked up a big bow and walked out.

"Han general, let's perform some archery first, please advise!"

After speaking, several people plucked the bowstring, making a "hum" tremor. I saw these six archers bend their bows and arrows, and one of the feathered arrows was thrown out in a parabola, inserted in the grass nearly one hundred and fifty paces away, and the tail of the arrow trembled slightly. Then another feathered arrow flew out and shot straight at the slightly trembling tail of the arrow. The powerful impact instantly cut the tail of the arrow in two. Of course, two of the archers failed to break the tail of the arrow, so they retracted their bows and retreated to the side.

The remaining four archers glanced at Ma Wangshan proudly, and then bent their bows and arrows, but they didn't know where to shoot.

At this moment, a group of wild geese flew from south to north, and the archers suddenly bent their bows like a full moon and pointed their arrows straight at the wild geese in the sky.

At this time, Ma Wangshan also took out the arrow, and his body kept moving, reaching a position in a straight line with the four archers, and then the bow was full.

At this time, the four archers were just about to fire.

Four whistling feathered arrows shot straight into the sky, flying towards the group of wild geese in the sky.

However, the feather arrows that flew out of the oblique thorn were faster, and after knocking three of the four feather arrows in front of them, they were obliquely inserted into the body of a wild goose.

So, five feathered arrows went up to the sky, and only two wild geese fell.

The four archers looked at the two wild geese that fell, shook their heads at the same time, sighed lightly, and said to Ma Wangshan: "Datang's marksman is really powerful!" We throw in the towel! ”

Ma Wangshan said a few words modestly and returned to the crowd.

"The archers under Tong Jin are really powerful!" Zhang Yunwen praised from the bottom of his heart, "The archery skills of my subordinates are already one in a million, and there are so many such powerful archers under Tong Jin, the young general admires it!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Qi Jin's face suddenly looked better: "Although there are many archers in our clan, there are few people who can achieve such skills as the general's subordinates, I am ashamed!" ”

At this time, a tall and eight-foot giant man walked up: "Lord Tong Jin, whether it is horse racing or archery, I have not seen this general do it, and all the warriors here want to see this general's skills, and please ask Lord Tong Jin to agree!" "An awkward Chinese dialect sounds very harsh.

Tong Jin didn't know how to answer, so he had to look at Zhang Yunwen.

At this time, there was a scolding from the side: "Ashina Lisi, you don't look at your body, which is stronger than a bison, to even try to fight with this thin Tang general, it's really a shame for you Turkic people!" Listening to the voice, it was Zhirou yelling beside him.

Hearing Zhi Rou's words, the giant man Ashinali couldn't help but blush, but he didn't look at Zhi Rou, but just said to Zhang Yunwen: "Han general, don't you dare?" ”

Zhang Yunwen glanced at this Ashinali lightly, and then looked at Qi Jin and Zhi Rou without answering.

At this time, Boss Hu of the reconnaissance battalion stood up violently: "Damn, Turkic barbarian, I want to fight Lao Tzu and you!" "Boss Hu is also a very tall man, seven feet tall.

Zhang Yunwen said softly: "Brother Hu, forget it." People are looking for me, and I am confident that I can still handle it! He drank the milk wine from the cup in one gulp, then stood up.

Seeing this, Boss Hu retreated silently.

Ashinali saw Zhang Yunwen stand up and said with a smile: "In addition to riding horses and archery, what we grassland people are best at is hand-to-hand fighting, let's have a hand-to-hand fight!" As he spoke, a hint of imperceptible coldness flashed in his eyes.

Zhang Yunwen moved his arms, ankles, and bones all over his body suddenly made a "crackling" sound. "Since the Ulba who killed your Turks two years ago, General Ben hasn't fought one-on-one with a man for a long time!"

Hearing this, Ashinali couldn't help but change his face. Urbanai is a famous warrior of the Turks, better than before he ran to the Xi tribe, this Han man can kill Urba, which should not be underestimated.

"Alright, let's get started!" After Zhang Yunwen finished moving his hands and feet, he swung out a fist and hit the air in front of him, making a few whistling sounds in the air, and the faces of the people around him changed.

Ash Nali roared first, and the giant bear-like body rushed towards Zhang Yunwen quickly, and smashed down with a fist the size of a sand bowl.

The only thing that Ashina can rely on is his huge strength and strong body. The former punched enough for Zhang Yunwen to be unable to get up for half a day, while the latter would not hurt at all if he took a few blows.

Of course, this is his own speculation.

Zhang Yunwen's eyes stared at the falling fist, and when he saw the fist falling, he suddenly bullied himself and hit it straight into Ashina Lisi's arms, and at the same time, his long-standing right fist smashed into the giant man's jaw, and then his body was short, so that his hands that he hugged were in the air. Drilled out from under Ashina's sipping armpits.

Ashinali rubbed his jaw, it really hurt! Then there was another loud roar and pounced on Zhang Yunwen.

Zhang Yunwen took a deep breath, also shouted, slid sideways, and slid to the side of Ashina Lisi, and then a "crane step pushing the mountain steadily" in Baji Boxing, standing in footwork, the whole body strength suddenly surged to his hand, and then Ashina Lisip had not yet turned around to fight back, leaning on his abdomen with both hands, and pushing hard, only to see the tall and strong Ashina Lisip being pushed out alive. The massive body fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

And Zhang Yunwen still maintains the posture of pushing people.

There was no sound around for a while, and even Zhi Rou looked at Zhang Yunwen with incredulity, let out a low exclamation from his mouth, and hurriedly covered his mouth with his white palm. In the beautiful eyes, there are even more ripples of autumn water.

Ashina staggered to his feet, and when he saw Zhang Yunwen, he roared again, waving his fists and rushing over!

Zhang Yunwen had a tough encounter with him this time. I saw him pick up his right fist, shouted, his body shook, I don't know how much faster than Ashina Lisi, kicked down, and a "Wuyue Chaotian Hammer" rushed from the bottom up, and hit Ashina Lisi's jaw again.

And Ashina slurped, and the fist of his left hand also swept on Zhang Yunwen's shoulder. It felt like it had been hit by a sledgehammer, and its whole body flew to the right. However, Zhang Yunwen landed on the ground in time for both legs and slid two steps to avoid being knocked away.

Ashinali sobbed but it was not comfortable at all, the jaw was hit twice in a row, and it felt like it was about to fall out, and the teeth on the lower gums were estimated to be all loose, if it was hit again, I was afraid that all the teeth would fly out.

Zhang Yunwen, who landed on the ground, did not stop at all, and jumped up directly, his fists were put together, and a "splitting axe and steel" was slashed down with the momentum of thunder!

Ashina raised his arms to block Zhang Yunwen's heavy split, but the huge force made his arms sink, and then his knees bent, and he involuntarily knelt on the ground.

Zhang Yunwen went to exhaust his strength, immediately put his fist and stood aside, looked at the kneeling Ashina Li sob, and asked lightly: "Do you still want to fight?" You've already lost! ”

Ashinali lowered his head, slowly stood up, walked out of the arena without saying a word, and admitted defeat.

At the same time, there was a cheer in all directions, and Xi Ren sent out the most enthusiastic cheers to the Han warriors standing in the field.

Zhi Rou looked at Zhang Yunwen standing in the arena blankly, and a thick flush appeared on her delicate face.
