The next day, the third part of the competition began, and the content of the competition was horseback riding. Two hundred contestants formed an array from outside the city, but listened to the sound of cannons and rode out on horseback. After crossing three high mountains and two river banks, driving 20 miles, the destination is where there is a red flag. Twenty people arrived first. Wen Shun, Zhong Hui and others watched the battle on a high mountain a few miles away at the finish line with the executive officials.

Soon, 200 contestants lined up and joined the cannon fire. Two hundred fast horses galloped up in unison, kicking up a cloud of wind and dust. Wang Shuang laughed and flew forward. Guan Xing and Guan Suo also whipped their horses. Xu Gai and Zhao Tong were not far behind, and they rushed wildly. As for Deng Fan, he was not in a hurry, but seemed calm and drove forward. Everyone scrambled to ride their horses and drive them to the first hill first. Suddenly, five or six people suddenly had a seizure, and they rushed to the front. At this moment, a roar erupted, like a landslide and the ground cracked. I saw that all five or six of them had fallen into the pit. When Wang Shuang saw this, he was shocked, and immediately slowed down his horse, surveyed the terrain, and slowly advanced. After everyone crossed the first hill, dozens of contestants fell into the pit. At this time, everyone did not dare to be careless and walked forward cautiously. When they arrived at the second mountain, there was nothing to do all the way, and dozens of contestants, all in unison, rushed into a dense forest. After a while, there was soon a burst of crashing horses. Guan Xing and Guan Suo's faces froze, and they drove their horses away, only to see that there were many tripping ropes in the dense forest, and most of the people who rushed in just now were tripped. Seeing this, the Guan brothers' faces froze, and they rushed forward cautiously, and after rushing through the dense forest, they rushed down the mountain. A group of contestants crossed the second hill and eliminated dozens of people.

Half an hour later, they came to a long river, which was slow and not turbulent. Because of the previous incident, everyone did not dare to cross the river easily. At this time, Deng Fan looked at it for a while, and suddenly drove his horse up. When Wang Shuang saw it, he grinned and immediately followed. When the rest of the contestants saw it, they all sneered. Who knows, Deng Fan and Wang Shuang rushed over, but there was no change. Zhao Tong was the first to react, and the horse followed, and Xu Gai and the Guan brothers also followed. Deng Fan took the lead, led a group of contestants, crossed a river, and came to the third mountain. The terrain in the mountain is steep, and the mountain road is narrow. Many contestants thought that they were about to reach the finish line, and they couldn't help but get anxious, and they rushed to be the first. The Guan brothers and Xu Gai and Zhao Tong walked with four soldiers and horses, and saw someone rushing behind them, Guan Suo's face was cold, he pulled the reins, and the horse's hind hooves kicked, and suddenly chased the nearest person to sit down and the horse was kicked by Guan Suo's horse, neighing, as if crazy and rushing around, the contestants behind were unexpected, and the mountain road was narrow, and many people fell down the mountain. Deng Fan and Wang Shuang explored the road in front, leading all the way and passing the third hill. Guan Xing and others caught up one after another. This time, nearly dozens of people were eliminated. The remaining hundred or so riders competed first under the plains. Deng Fan suddenly galloped wildly, and there was a long river blocking the way in front of him. Wang Shuang shouted, and was about to slap the horse and rush away, but Deng Fan shouted urgently.

"Son is full and slow!!"

When Wang Shuang heard this, he immediately reined in his horses. The Guan brothers, who had arrived from behind, immediately rushed past the two. Deng Fan and Wang Shuang made a gesture to indicate that the river was unfathomable. Wang Shuang's heart understood. The two then took a detour. When Xu Gai saw it, his face froze, and he hurriedly called the Guan brothers in front of him, Guan Xing and Guan Suo listened and reined in the horses suddenly. The crowd of people who dared to come after them rushed up, and they all slapped their horses and flew into the river, and suddenly bursts of exclamations rang out one after another. I saw that the long river that seemed not to be deep was hidden deeply. Many people were suddenly drowned by the river, including men and horses. When the Guan brothers saw this, they hurriedly walked around the riverbank. Deng Fan and Wang Shuang bypassed the long river, galloped away, drove several miles, and saw the red flag fluttering not far away, the two looked at each other and laughed, and galloped. Deng Fan was the first to rush to the red flag, Wang Shuang followed, and the Guan brothers, Xu Gai, and Zhao Tong followed. A dozen men and horses followed intermittently.

Wen Shun is not far from the high mountain, and he can see the whole process at a glance, sighing and saying that the bell will say.

"Deng Shi is thoughtful and meticulous, such a character will become a great tool in the future."

Zhong Hui listened and nodded in agreement. At this point, the second stage of the martial arts training conference, the three links have all ended. The bureaucrat in charge of the martial arts training conference told the remaining twenty contestants that they would gather at the school in the city three days later, and the Tang King would come in person and reward them in turn. The crowd was overjoyed.

Three days later, Tang Wang Wenhan led the ministers of the Western Tang Dynasty to ascend to the school field in Chang'an City. Twenty contestants lined up and waited intently. I saw Wen Han wearing a jade belt brocade robe, the samurai holding a big red Luo pin gold umbrella cover, the left and right gold melons and silver Yue, stirrup sticks and spears, playing the sun and moon dragon and phoenix flags, the dragon and tiger guards are divided into five teams, each team is three thousand, according to the blue, yellow, red, white, black five colors, flags and horses, and according to the true color, brilliant, extremely majestic. Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Xu Huang and other soldiers, all mighty, followed closely behind, and were listed on the left. Xi Zhicai, Xu Shu, Li You, Zhong Xuan and other civil officials, with a compelling demeanor and a light smile, are listed on the right seat. With Wen Han's order, everyone sat down. The great Sima Xu Shu wrote a letter to announce the edict, and rewarded twenty people one by one, each of whom received a pair of armor and a good horse, all of whom were ranked as the goalkeepers. Everyone knelt down and thanked them. With a dignified smile, Wen Han walked in front of the stage and said in a quiet voice with the twenty people in the audience.

"Practicing martial arts can protect the family and strengthen the country, you and others are all young talents of my Western Tang Dynasty, the foundation of the Western Tang Dynasty, and the prosperity of the Western Tang Dynasty for decades in the future, are all on your shoulders. Lone set up a martial arts training hall that year, which was originally intended to accommodate the world's poor soldiers, and to choose those who had both ability and political integrity to join the army. As a result, the army of the Lonely West Tang Dynasty was able to become famous for its elite. Now that the war in Xichuan is imminent, I hope you can do something. ”

When the people heard this, they bowed down in unison.

"We will live up to King Tang's high hopes!"

"Haha! Good! ”

Wen Han smiled brightly, and then cast a glance with Xu Shu. Xu Shu comprehended, that is, announced the content of the third stage, fought for it, and ordered twenty people to wear red and black robes respectively, divided into two teams, and those who came out of the battle were drawn by the executive officials, but they listened to the names to fight. The people listened to the order, so they put on their robes and divided into two teams. After a while, the executive officer first read out one of the members of the red team, and the black team read out the name of Zhao Tong. Zhao Tongyi listened, and his gorgeous sword eyes unconsciously threw himself at Zhao Yun who was sitting on the stage. Zhao Yun held his beard and showed an encouraging smile on his face. Zhao Tong's face was shocked, and his whole body seemed to have inexhaustible strength. The two of them rode out at the order, each with eighteen weapons in front of the battle, Zhao Tong took a spear, and the strong man of the red team on the opposite side took a big knife. With the sound of drums, Zhao Tong's flying horse rushed out, and the strong men of the red team shouted, snatching people first, clapping the horse and rushing to Zhao Tong, and slashing at Zhao Tong with a knife. Zhao Tong was slightly flustered and drove away. The strong man of the red team, seeing that Zhao Tong was young, looked down on him in his heart, and slashed indiscriminately. Zhao Tong's face froze, he resisted with a gun, and after more than ten rounds, Zhao Tong gradually stabilized his position, and when he saw that there was a gap, a shot suddenly stabbed and stopped at the throat of the red team of strong men. When the executive officer saw this, he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to strike the gong. A gong sounded, and Zhao Tong won. The officials on the stage applauded and praised when they saw it, and Zhao Yun was very happy when he saw his son's victory. Subsequently, as the executive official read out, Guan Xing's Pegasus in the red team rushed out and took a big knife, and a giant man in the black team roared, galloped out and took a mace. After the two finished the salute, a gong sounded, and the two horses rushed to each other. Guan Xing's eyes were cold, and he rushed in front of the giant man, and slashed at the head with a knife. The giant man saw that Guan Xing was fierce, and hurriedly picked up his mace to block it. Guan Xing slashed down, the blade cut the mace directly, and slashed down at the door of the giant man's face, and when he saw that he was about to chop his head in half, he suddenly stopped. Guan Xing defeated his opponent together, and the officials on the stage were amazed. Guan Yu held his beautiful hair, but he didn't smile, it seemed that Guan Xing did not meet the requirements in his heart. Guan Xing slowly retracted his knife, then turned his horse and retreated into the formation. Just when everyone was amazed by Guan Xingwuyong, Xu Gai, who was wearing a red robe, and Guan Suo, who was wearing a black robe, rushed out of the Pegasus in front of the formation. I saw Xu Gai holding a big axe, but Guan Suo took a spear. Guan Suo's temperament is all over the place, and his father Guan Yu's knife skills are too domineering, but it is not suitable for him. Later, Guan Suo apprenticed to Zhao Yun and sat down, and he also got a few true biography of Zhao Yun. The two bowed their hands in unison, and after the salute, a gong sounded. The two rushed together, Xu Gai rushed first, shouted, picked up the big axe and slashed at Guan Suo's chest. Guan Suo shook his spirit and resisted with one shot. With a loud bang, Xu Gai was even stronger, opened the Guan Suo gun, the giant axe rushed over, Guan Suo flashed, just evaded, picked up the spear and stabbed it out. I saw that Guan Suo's gun was fast, like an angry wave-like attack, stabbing Xu Gai without the power to fight back, so he could only blindly dodge.

After Guan Suo stabbed out more than a dozen shots in a row, the strength of the gun gradually slowed down. When Xu Gai saw it, his eyes suddenly burst out with two fine lights, and an axe suddenly struck, opened the gun that Guan Suo attacked, and suddenly galloped over, and slashed at Guan Suo's face door with an axe. How do you know that Guan Suo has already prepared, Le Ma avoids it, and Xu Gai splits it with an axe. When the two horses passed by, Guan Suo swept the gun and looked at Xu Gai's vest. Xu Gai lowered his body and dodged, and the gun was swept away. Xu Gai pretended to be invincible and walked away. Guan Suo turned the horse and caught up from behind. At this moment, Xu Gai suddenly raised an axe, and saw that he was about to split the rope. The officials on the stage only felt that their hearts were raised in their throats. Between the lightning and flint, Guan Suo stabbed out with a sharp shot, resisting the giant axe in Xu Gai's hand. It turned out that the careful Guan Suo had long been aware of what Xu Gai was thinking. The two weapons collided suddenly, and a loud bang erupted. The two fought closely, the guns and axes flew by, and the two were inseparable. After dozens of more rounds, both men were exhausted. The younger Guan Suo's strength was the first to be unable to support it, and he was knocked over by Xu Gai with the back of an axe. The rope rolled to the ground. The gong sounded immediately, and the victory was divided.

Xu Huang saw that Xu Gai had won Guan Suo, and his face smiled as if it had bloomed. Guan Yu squinted at Dan Feng's eyes. When the officials saw it, they did not dare to applaud. Soon, the executive officer read out the personnel of the next fight. Wang Shuang, who was dressed in a red robe, rushed out and took a big knife, and at the same time, a big man in a black robe took a sledgehammer and went out with him. The two looked at each other, and without answering, they were killed suddenly. Wen Han heard that it was Wang Shuang, his sword eyes froze, and he looked at it with a bit of a different color. I saw Wang Shuang's Pegasus rushing out and shouting, the sound was like thunder, deafening. Before the big man could make a move, he was startled by the roar. Suddenly, Wang Shuang rushed closer, picked up the big knife, and slashed violently, three times in a row. The first knife slashed at the door of the big man. The big man dodged quickly. In an instant, the second knife was pulled back and slashed diagonally at the giant's right shoulder. The giant man roared violently, holding a giant hammer to block it. With a loud bang, Wang Shuangdao was violent, and the giant hammer in the giant man's hand was opened in an instant. Wang Shuangyi danced a big knife, stabbed suddenly, and stabbed at the giant man's heart. The giant man couldn't stop it, and Wang Shuang's big sword stopped in his heart. The giant man's face was as frightened as ashes. Wang Shuang laughed and admitted.

said that it was too late and that it was fast, and the officials on the stage had just heard the gong, and many people had not yet come back to their senses, and they saw that Wang Shuang had won the victory. The generals on the stage saw that Wang Shuang was so brave and secretly praised him. After a while, Deng Fan, who was wearing a black robe, and a sturdy fierce man named Yang Wu came out together. Deng Fan took a gun, while Yang Wu took a pair of iron whips. The two of them finished saluting. The gong sounded. The two of them suddenly flew up, Yang Wu was extremely fast, and wanted to take the lead, so they rushed to Deng Fan, and the iron whip danced suddenly, bombarding in a row. Deng Fan condensed and blocked, and fought with Yang Wu. When all the officials on the stage saw that Yang Wu was so powerful, they all thought that Yang Wu was likely to win. Tang Wang Wenhan saw that Yangwu martial arts were good, and asked the bureaucrat who was in charge of the martial arts training conference beside him.
