The current strength of Jingzhao Mansion is 15,000 people, divided into three armies, left, center and right, of which Han Shizhong, the commander of the left army, and Liu Tie, the deputy commander; Liu Jian, the commander of the Chinese army, and Cao Meng, the deputy commander; In addition to the 15,000 forbidden army, there are 5,000 new troops, that is, Changxun township soldiers, with Wang Gui as the commander and Niu Gao as the deputy commander, with a total of more than 20,000 troops.

In addition to this, there are 5,000 local troops, who are mainly responsible for the logistics and miscellaneous affairs of the army, and do not participate in battles.

After the New Year, the Jingzhao Army began a one-year intensive training period, which mainly focused on actual combat training, which was the traditional training method of the family army, and the soldiers were sharpened by actual combat, and the training effect was very good.

In addition to the actual combat training of soldiers, there is also a bi-monthly competition, which is divided into three categories: infantry shooting, mounted archery and single horse combat, both soldiers and officers can sign up to participate, and those who break into the top 100 will be rewarded.

The military competition has been held for two sessions, Liu Jian and Han Shizhong each won the first place in riding and shooting, Cao Meng and Gao Chong also won the first place in single riding and fighting once, and the two leaders in foot shooting were taken away by Wang Gui, and he was known as the 'Dinghai Divine Needle' with an amazing result of thirty arrows and arrows.

Today is the third session of the military competition, as soon as the day dawns, the war drums were beaten in the martial arts arena, and the soldiers who watched the excitement were standing all around the martial arts arena, and a wooden platform for watching the battle was built on the east side of the martial arts arena, and all the generals above the head were sitting on the wooden platform, and Li Yanqing was sitting in the middle of the first row, and on both sides were the commanders and partial generals.

However, there is a small sensation today, which has attracted the attention of 20,000 people in the whole army, that is, a young female general appeared on the viewing platform, she wore a red embroidered helmet, a green robe, and a fine scale armor, plus her handsome face and extraordinarily heroic posture, which attracted the attention of the officers and men of the whole army, which was not only the Jingzhao Army, but also the first female general of the Western Army.

In the era of the planter, women were never allowed to appear in the barracks, and female generals were not allowed, but now that the era of the planter is over, the female general has finally appeared, which has also attracted the attention of everyone.

In yesterday's Chinese army tent, Li Yanqing had already introduced his sister-in-law Hu Sanniang to the generals above the general, which was also Hu Qing'er's wish, and she didn't want more people to know the name Qing'er, so she simply used Liangshan's name Hu Sanniang.

At this time, a partial general rushed over, knelt down on one knee in front of Li Yanqing and said, "Qi Qi Tongzhi, the preparation has been completed, and it can start at any time!" ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "Let's start!" ”

"Boom! Boom! Boom! The drums of war sounded, the officers and men of the whole army began to get excited, and the long-awaited solo combat challenge finally kicked off.

In fact, the all-army competition began ten days ago, and Wang Gui did not participate in the infantry shooting, but was won the first place by Niu Gao, and Liu Jian won the first place in mounted archery this year, Han Shizhong was second, and the third was Cao Xing, of course, the coach Li Yanqing could not participate in the competition, otherwise the first in riding and archery would not be the turn of others.

Today's challenge for the top 20 in the single cycling competition, last year's top 10 have automatically entered the top 20, and there are still 10 places to compete for by the top 100 who won the semi-finals, 100 people are divided into ten groups, the first place in each group enters the top 20, the ten groups of competitions ended yesterday, the top 20 have come out, and today is the final final.

The top 10 will be determined first, and then the top 10 will be contested, and the final winner on the battlefield will be the leader of the year.

At this time, the draw had ended, Hu Qing'er sat back in his seat with a signing slip, and Li Yanqing asked with a smile: "What is the first game?" ”

Hu Qing'er stretched out four fingers, meaning that she had drawn the fourth game, but she didn't know who the other party was, a pro-soldier ran to ask, turned back to Li Yanqing and whispered: "Liu Tie also drew the fourth game!" ”

Zhang Qu, who was in the top 10 of the last session, strained his arm in riding and archery, and was unable to participate in the challenge today, so Hu Qinger made up for this place.

At this time, the first pair of players appeared on the field, by the partial general Wang Fan against the partial general Niu Gao, Niu Gao made a pair of 40 pounds of corrugated gold mace, and Wang Fan made a 50-pound big knife, but the rules are first, not allowed to take life, point to the end.

Due to an accident in the first semi-finals, a participating soldier was cut off his arm, and the rules were changed, and only the top 20 were allowed to use real weapons, and the previous competitions were all made of wooden weapons.

As for how to grasp it when using real weapons, it is up to the warring parties to decide, and generally speaking, it is allowed to suffer a little flesh wound, as long as it does not hurt the muscles and bones.

With a burst of drums, Niu Gao shouted, rode his horse and rushed towards the other party, dangling a false blow, straight to the opponent's left shoulder, Wang Fan was not in a hurry, brushed the ground and slashed head-on, 'Dang! A crisp sound, the huge impact force made the two take a few steps back at the same time, and then entangled together, more than a dozen rounds, Niu Gao struck back the whip, hit the back of the Wang fan, although the force was not large, but won the winning point.

'When! The gong sounded, and the referee shouted: "In the first game, Niu Gao wins!" ”

There was a cheer from the new army, the second game was won by Zhang Wei of the left army, and the third game was Gao Chong's easy victory over the opponent, and then the fourth game began.

I saw a fiery red rouge horse rushing into the arena like a blazing fire, and the competition field was suddenly full of cheers, and the soldiers were boiling when they saw the female general competing for the first time.

And when Liu Tie came out, he was greeted with a chorus of boos and whistles, and all the generals couldn't help laughing, this Liu Tie was unlucky, the opponent was actually a female general, no wonder he was so unpopular.

At this time, Li Yanqing beckoned to Liu Tie, and Liu Tie stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "Please give the coach a lecture!" ”

Li Yanqing smiled slightly: "I want to remind you that my sister has three uniques, flying stones, flying knives and whip blades, you should be careful!" ”

"Thank you for the reminder!"

Liu Tie stepped forward and shouted with a wave of his iron gun: "Miss Hu, please!" ”

He wanted to be polite to the other party, and waited for the other party to strike first, at this time, Liu Jian asked Li Yanqing in a low voice: "Sanniang's martial arts, have you learned it with your knowledge?" ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "Her flying stone is taught by me personally, but now it has surpassed me, the flying knife is a family heirloom, and the flying stone is in the same vein, she is elusive, her whipping method is already good, and then the world's first assassin Luan Tingyu taught a move, with this trick alone, the five tiger generals of Liangshan may not be her opponents." ”

Liu Jian was really worried in his heart, and shouted to his cousin: "Don't underestimate the enemy!" ”

At this time, Hu Qing'er had already rushed thirty steps away, only to see the white light of her hand flashing, and a flying stone arrived in front of Liu Tie's eyes in an instant, it was incomparably fast, even Li Yanqing was shocked, in terms of the accuracy and pattern of the flying stone, Li Yanqing could compete with Hu Qing'er, but the speed of the flying stone, Li Yanqing was not as fast as Hu Qing'er, and it was more than twice as slow as her.

Liu Tie couldn't dodge, he just listened to 'Bang! With a crisp thud, his helmet flew up and he rolled out a foot away, and there was laughter and cheers all around.

Liu Tie's face suddenly turned red, this hasn't started to fight yet! His helmet was knocked off by the other party first, no wonder the coach had to remind himself that he didn't realize that this woman would be so powerful.

However, Liu Tie is still very single, he knows that the other party is merciful, if he hits his face, I am afraid that he has fallen off the horse.

He clenched his fists and said, "I admit defeat!" ”

'When! The gong sounded, and the referee shouted: "In the fourth game, Hu Sanniang wins!" ”

Applause and cheers erupted again from the crowd of soldiers.

..........

Near noon, the top ten of the single riding challenge had already been produced, Gao Chong, Cao Meng, Liu Ji, Wang Gui, Niu Gao, Yang Wenyi, Zhang Wei, Hu Sanniang, Cao Xing, Gong Zuwen, Han Shizhong was unlucky, he drew Gao Chong, and was defeated by Gao Chong in ten rounds, and did not make it to the top ten, which really frustrated him, Tang Huai drew Cao Meng, and he did not make it to the top ten.

Rest for an hour at noon, although the Song Dynasty did not eat lunch, but the army was an exception, and the imperial court still required the soldiers to be given a supplementary meal at noon, but it was slightly simpler than dinner.

Hu Qing'er also has a tent, which is next to Li Yanqing's sleeping tent, but now that Li Yanqing's family has come to Jingzhao, during the current non-war period, he will also go home every once in a while to live, and the soldiers are generally not allowed to go out of the camp at night, but there will be a day off every ten days, and the soldiers are allowed to go into the city to play and rest.

In the big tent, Li Yanqing and Hu Qing'er sat at the small table for lunch, Wang Gui also slipped over with a bowl, he sat down and smiled and gave Hu Qing'er a thumbs up and praised: "Qing'er, your flying stone has indeed surpassed Lao Li, and the speed is much faster than Lao Li." ”

Qing'er's face flushed, "I don't dare to compare with my eldest brother, I was taught by him, how can I compare to him?" ”

"It's normal for apprentices to surpass masters! This is called blue out of the blue and better than blue, as long as you boldly use flying stones in the afternoon, Cao Meng and Gao Pet are estimated to be enough! ”

"Brother Wang, how do you compare in the afternoon?" Hu Qing'er asked curiously again.

"Didn't Lao Li say it?"

Wang Gui immediately shook his head and said: "The afternoon is the wheel battle, Gao Zhong is the leader of the previous session, he is the champion, the first nine people draw lots, the first one to appear is the most unlucky, he has to kill eight to fight with the champion." ”

Qing'er pursed her lips and smiled, "It's just cannibalism first, and then challenge the champion, right!" ”

Wang Gui slapped his thigh, "That's right!" ”

"Then there are only the first and second places in each competition, what should I do with the later rankings?"

"The next ranking is another comparison, the eight-person competition came out in three rounds, called filling the vacancy, everyone is not interested, I was the sixth place last time, and I was defeated by the third place Liu Kuang."

"Then why didn't the big brother participate?"

Qing'er asked Li Yanqing again: "If you participate, you will be the first in riding archery." ”

"Me?" Li Yanqing smiled and said: "It's not interesting for me to participate, it seems unfair to win, and losing will affect authority, so just count on Qing'er to fight for me." ”

Qing'er's beautiful eyes suddenly flashed, "I will not let my eldest brother down!" ”

At this time, Li Yanqing saw that Hu Qing'er had almost eaten, so he smiled at her: "You go back to the tent to rest for a while, and then fight in the afternoon." ”

"Then I'll go first, Brother Wang, you sit down!"

"Good! Go get some rest. ”

Hu Qing'er left, and Wang Gui said in a low voice: "Lao Li, do you want to take this opportunity to build a women's barracks?" ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "There is indeed this plan, it is mainly used for medical treatment and battlefield treatment, and when this competition is over, we will start recruiting, and five hundred people will be enough." ”

"Hello female soldiers! With female soldiers in the barracks, everyone's life is not so boring, and when training and fighting, put a few female soldiers on the side to watch the battle to ensure that they are alive and well! ”

Li Yanqing patted Wang Gui on the shoulder, "Okay, you can also go and rest!" Compete a little in the afternoon, and at least make it to the top five! ”

"Originally, I was confident, but this year there is one more Qing'er, and the result is really hard to say, and I am not sure to avoid her flying stones." Wang Gui sighed and left.
