Horses were the most important means of transportation at that time, not only to pull carts and camels, but also to be used on the battlefield, thus forming a team closely related to horses - cavalry!

In ancient times, when there were no automobiles, electric vehicles, bicycles and other means of transportation, horses played the most important role and were an indispensable part of transportation. Even in war, the role of cavalry is seen as more and more important.

Therefore, the quality of horsemanship also determines the quality of cavalry on the battlefield, because it is not just a random person who can ride a horse, without a certain amount of time of accumulation, and professional training in horsemanship, it is impossible to become a real cavalryman.

The riding competition is actually very simple, it is to test the knight's ability to control the horse.

This competition is a technical competition, and it must not be false at all.

With the order of Prime Minister Wang Dao, the chief housekeeper Wang Zhun has ordered someone to bring all the four high-headed horses that have been prepared a long time ago. These four tall horses are all military horses, which were borrowed by Wang Dao to go to the military camp, so the physique, height, and skin color of the four horses are basically the same.

"This riding competition is very simple, you only need to ride a horse, and run back and forth on this road for three rendezvous, but please note that in the process of riding a horse, in addition to weapons, any method can be used to drag the enemy's hind legs, and the first to come in this game wins!" Wang Daodao.

Gan Zhuo, Deng Yue, Zhou Fu, and Mao Bao jumped on the horse, all four of them were full of confidence, and after Wang Dao's order, all four of them galloped together and rushed forward.

The four horses rushed out almost at the same time, and the four knights on horseback clinged to their horses, their hands gripping the reins tightly, and staring ahead.

Suddenly, Zhou Fu raised his leg and kicked Mao Bao beside him, but unfortunately he kicked it empty, Mao Bao was prepared, a big hand directly grabbed Zhou Fu's foot, and dragged Zhou Fu off the horse, and the whole person fell to the ground and rolled all over the soil.

The onlookers saw it really, Zhou Fu couldn't sneak attack, but he had to leave his war horse, no matter how angry he was, it was useless, and he couldn't steal a handful of rice by stealing chickens, but was laughed at by the onlookers.

Zhou Fu hated the root of his teeth, he himself began to practice martial arts since he was a child, it can be said that he is skilled in bows and horses, and his martial arts are strong, but he didn't expect to lose face here today.

Deng Yue was sandwiched between Gan Zhuo and Mao Bao, ran forward for a while, then slowed down the speed of the horse, and gradually distanced himself from Gan Zhuo and Mao Bao.

Among the onlookers, except for Wang Dao, Gao Fei, and Zhou Fu, the rest thought that it was caused by Deng Yue's poor riding skills. Director Wang knows Deng Yue's skills very well, and he is a superb horseman, so he will definitely not make such a mistake, unless he wants to quit.

Although Gao Fei didn't know how to ride, it was not difficult to see some clues from Deng Yue's actions, first deliberately slowing down the speed of the horse, and then deliberately falling off the horse, his intention was very obvious. And judging from the contact with Deng Yue yesterday, this person has good martial arts, but he belongs to the kind of person who is more introverted, and he is not so loving.

Although Zhou Fu and Deng Yue have little intersection, they have also had a few encounters, and they know that Deng Yue is extraordinary, especially in riding and archery. But today's performance of Deng Yue greatly exceeded Zhou Fu's expectations.

The moment Deng Yue fell from his horse, Zhou Fu hurriedly ran over, and when he came to Deng Yue's side, he asked sharply: "Brother Boshan has always been superb in riding, even the younger brother is ashamed of himself, why did you deliberately fall off the horse today?" ”

Deng Yue smiled and whispered: "I don't plan to be the master of the prime minister's son, but since I have promised the prime minister, I have to be a show." Brother Zhou, the prime minister actually already has someone he likes, I advise you to be like me, just mix the motions. ”

"You mean Gandro?" Zhou Fu got through at one point, and immediately asked, "The prime minister wants Old Man Gan to be Gongzi Yu's master?" ”

Deng Yue nodded and said in a low voice: "General Gan is highly respected and the mainstay of the imperial court, and he is the best candidate to serve as Gongziyu's master." Since the prime minister already has a favorite person, why should you fight? ”

After Zhou Fu listened, he said to Deng Yue: "Brother Boshan is not willing to fight with all his might, and the younger brother is not willing to be reluctant, but the younger brother must do his best in this competition, and let the prime minister see how powerful I am Zhou Fu, and restore the prestige of the Zhou family in the future, it depends on me, in front of the prime minister, naturally I can't hide it, I still expect the prime minister to see how powerful I am, and say a few more kind words in front of His Majesty." ”

Deng Yue said: "If the prime minister can call you in this competition, it is enough to prove your status in the prime minister's mind, and make Zun Wei famous, how can the prime minister not know." It's just that you are still in the stage of filial piety, and even if the prime minister deliberately wants to use you, because of the system, he can only help him. ”

After Zhou Fu listened to Deng Yue's words, he did not refute again, because these are all facts, he cannot hold all official positions in the stage of filial piety, and he must wait until the expiration of the period of filial piety before he can hold official positions again.

"Brother Zhou Xian, don't be discouraged, the prime minister has always been selfless and selfless, and cherishes talents, you have a skill, and you are behind the door, the prime minister will definitely not be ignorant, everything will be natural." Deng Yue saw that Zhou Fu's expression was depressed, so he comforted.

Zhou Fu nodded, thanked Deng Yue, and the two of them walked to the side together to watch this riding performance as spectators.

Zhou Fu and Deng Yue fell off their horses one after another, and only Gan Zhuo and Mao Bao were left on the test field, and the two of them chased after me and did not give in to each other, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Gan Zhuo's riding skills were superb and his performance was relaxed, while Mao Bao was very nervous.

Gan Zhuo is a general, and a veteran general in the army, for decades in the army, almost every day on horseback, superb riding skills are naturally not a problem. Mao Bao is different, he only knows how to ride a horse, and when it comes to retracting freely on horseback, he is not as good as Gan Zhuo. First, he was born in a poor family, and he had never touched a horse since he was a child, let alone rode on horseback. He only learned to ride a horse after serving as the county lieutenant of Wujiang County, and in terms of riding age, Mao Bao was only less than three years old, while Gan Zhuo was already a person with decades of riding experience.

There is no suspense at all in this riding competition, and Gan Zhuo will win!

Sure enough, when the horses entered the last round trip, Gan Zhuo, who was riding on horseback, suddenly smiled at Mao Bao, who was walking side by side, and shouted at Mao Bao: "Young man, it is good that you can keep it up to now." However, the old man won't play with you anymore! ”

As soon as the words fell, Gan Zhuo shouted, and the horses under the seat were like an arrow off the string, and they jumped far away with a whoosh, leaving Mao Bao far behind.

Without any doubt, Gandra once again won the riding competition.

"Old General Gan wins!" Director Wang cheered again.

Gao Fei stood there, without saying a word, and Mao Bao, whom he admired the most, lost again. At the same time, Gao Fei saw the depressed expression on Mao Bao's face, he moved to Mao Bao's face, and said comfortingly: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, it's not that you are not powerful, but the opponent is too strong." In the next competition, are you confident? ”

Mao Bao sighed heavily and said, "I'll do my best!" ”

Gao Fei said: "No matter what your test results are, in my heart, you are the best." ”

"Next competition, the art of war!" Director Wang's high-pitched voice sounded again.
