Zhao Hu is the head of the Yuancong faction in the army, and from the beginning of Xiao Ruxun's army, he has followed Xiao Ruxun to fight in the south and the north, and his status is the highest in the whole army.

The other two faction bosses, one in charge of artillery and the other in charge of the police, do not seem to be enough to compete in the army.

And Ma Wei is the representative of the rising star, who rose in the battle to conquer the Dongwu Kingdom, and is the leader of the Ma family generals in the army.

The bigwigs whose status is second only to the Yuancong faction have also made great contributions to leading the Vermilion Bird Battalion, so they will not give an inch in the face of Zhao Hu.

This is almost a battle between the two major factions in the military.

Xiao Ruxun appointed Wang Hui as the arbiter of this competition, because Wang Hui was not only an important task for the Yuancong faction, but also worked together with Ma Wei to achieve a great victory in the northwest, not only the hero of the Yuancong faction, but also a friend of Ma Wei, a figure acceptable to both sides.

Xiao Ruxun just came to watch the battle, and cheered for the two sides, no one supported it, and no one favored it.

Zhao Hu and Ma Wei followed Xiao Ruxun and accompanied Xiao Ruxun to watch the battle.

The first game of the competition is a horse battle, which is divided into individual horse battle and group horse battle, and in the individual horse battle, the Qinglong Battalion and the Suzaku Battalion respectively select the three most powerful knights to fight, and they cannot be the general who fights in person, but can only choose middle and lower-level officers and soldiers.

Xiao Ruxun announced the start of the competition, and the three most powerful knights of the Qinglong Battalion and the Vermilion Bird Battalion began to fight with long wooden sticks wrapped in strips of cloth.

In order to avoid serious injury, both sides still have to wear protective gear, after all, this is not a fight of life and death, but in the eyes of Zhao Hu and Ma Wei, this is almost the same as a fight of life and death, Ma Wei and Zhao Hu respectively told the people in their team - as long as they can't die, they will die!

As soon as the war drums sounded, the two cavalrymen rushed towards each other in the huge open space surrounded by tens of thousands of people, and fought to the death with each other with their own horse skills.

Soon, the three games were divided, and the Qinglong Battalion, which was more powerful, won the victory, with two wins and one loss, Zhao Hu's face was smiling like a chrysanthemum blooming, not to mention how funny it was, Ma Wei's face was as ugly as the dead relatives and friends at home.

"Mako, do you see that? This is cavalry! ”

Zhao Hu couldn't help but mock Ma Wei.

Ma Wei was furious: "Tiger head! Don't be arrogant! I'm telling you! The best in team battles is the cavalry! Fighting a war is fought as a whole, not individually! ”

"Humph! Overall? Fighting in a group battle, Lao Tzu is not afraid of you! ”

Zhao Hu and Ma Wei glared at each other viciously, Xiao Ruxun smiled helplessly, but he didn't plan to say anything at all.

Soon, the group battle began, each side sent a hundred knights to start a cavalry group battle, competing tactics and combat effectiveness, the Qinglong Battalion and the Vermilion Bird Battalion each sent the most powerful 100 cavalry, and each side sent the most powerful middle-level cavalry officer as a commander, and tried their best to fight a big battle.

The battle was a bloody battle, the war drums were rumbling, and the roars of the soldiers watching the battle on the field were earth-shattering, and those who didn't know really thought that a life-and-death final battle was taking place here.

The result was still Zhao Hu winning, Zhao Hu looked at Ma Wei with a pig's liver color extremely proudly, and mocked Ma Wei vigorously, Ma Wei gasped heavily, if it weren't for Xiao Ruxun on the side, it is estimated that Ma Wei would have the urge to draw a knife and fight with Zhao Hu.

"Tiger Head! Don't be complacent! This is the one! ”

"One? I'm going to break you all! ”

The two glared at each other viciously, and seeing that they were about to make a move, Xiao Ruxun hurriedly made a move to block the two of them.

"Okay, okay, what do I say? The game is second, friendship is the first, this is an exchange competition, not a war, victory or defeat is not so important, no matter who wins or loses, it is not allowed to blow your beard and stare at your eyes! Do you understand? ”

Xiao Ruxun used the majesty of the emperor to stop the two from continuing to quarrel, and the two "snorted" at Xiao Ruxun's face, sat back in their seats and continued to watch the game.

The cavalry battle Suzaku battalion was completely defeated, and the next infantry battle could not be defeated, the infantry battle was a military duel, the gunners and sword and shield soldiers fought against each other in formation, simulated war, the strength of the combat effectiveness can be best reflected, and 500 soldiers from each side fought each other, and the sky and the moon were dark.

In the end, the Suzaku Battalion "completely annihilated" the 500-member team of the Qinglong Battalion at the cost of "killing 367 people in battle" and won the victory.

Looking at Zhao Hu, whose face was the color of pig liver, Ma Wei laughed, and kept mocking Zhao Hu for being an empty shelf, and the light cavalry was a fart or something, and he tried his best to mock him.

This is terrible, the angry Zhao Hu was about to duel with Ma Wei on the spot, but was stopped by Xiao Ruxun again.

"How can two generals fight in front of so many people? Sit down for me! If you dare to do this again, I will punish you! ”

Xiao Ruxun couldn't let these two really fight, so he could only forcibly stop it like this.

The game continued, this round was a battle of gunsmiths, the smoothbore gun did not need to consider the accuracy, the speed of the burst and the proficiency of the three shots, Xiao Ruxun's rule was like this, not compared to the hit rate, but than the number of salvos fired by a column of soldiers within the specified time.

This is to test the proficiency of the pawns in the use of bird guns, whether they are familiar with the whole use process, whether they are skilled guns, and so on.

In the end, in the Sichuan battle, the Suzaku Battalion soldiers, who were more proficient in the use of firearms, won the victory, shooting six more times than the Qinglong Battalion soldiers, and obtained the status of the victor.

Ma Wei happily leaned directly back on his chair, slanting his eyes at Zhao Hu, who was panting.

Xiao Ruxun watched Zhao Hu's hands holding the armrests of the chair stiffly, for fear that he would break the armrests of the chair.

It's no wonder that Zhao Hu is so angry, the game is two armies, but there are far more people watching the battle, basically people from all sides of the court come to watch the battle, and they are embarrassed and thrown into the entire court, and they can't raise their heads when they walk in the future, they don't dare to speak loudly, and they don't know what to say when they see Ma Wei.

How humiliating is that?

Zhao Hu included the training of infantry and gunners in the key training projects for the next year.

Coincidentally, Ma Wei also included the training of cavalry in the key training projects for the next year.

Both sides have their own grievances and decisions.

In the next crossbowman battle, you need to consider the accuracy, prepare the target, compete in accuracy, and see who shoots more accurately.

Xiao Ruxun introduced the concept of ten rings, allowing both sides to send strong shooters to compete, not only individual battles, but also team battles, as well as individual and team moving target battles, and the competition items are very comprehensive.

Zhao Hu and Ma Wei looked hard at the field with a clairvoyant mirror, shouting for a while, shouting for a while, and the whole person was in extreme excitement, not to mention how excited.

The result was that Zhao Hu's Qinglong Battalion won, and three of the four competition items were won, Zhao Hu raised his eyebrows and looked at Ma Wei with a blue face triumphantly.

Ma Wei didn't expect to lose to Zhao Hu in the archery event, so he was so angry that he was panting.

The two of them compete with each other and don't give in to each other, just like the soldiers who cheer each other up on the scene.
