Chapter 100: Unity of Man and Horse

On the snowy earth, two horses, one in front of the other, spread their hooves and galloped forward. The horse's hooves stirred up clouds of snow mist, which flew away in the cold air like Qionglin, and could not fall for a long time.

The rider who was following closely behind, though he was draped all over, was light, and he was able to ride his horse with ease, and his speed was faster than that of the horse in front, and the distance between the two horses was getting closer and closer.

And the rider on the horse in front of him had a lot of fun. The strong wind brought by the galloping horses blew his wide robe fluttering and swinging in all directions, which was very disturbing. And the rhythm of the horse's running, he obviously couldn't master, and he was turned upside down on horseback. He was so frightened that he didn't even dare to open his eyes, and he lay on the horse's back and hugged the horse's neck.

The horse was also very uncomfortable, for he had tightened his reins and signaled to slow down; But his legs clamped the horse's belly tightly, which was another command to accelerate. Two contradictory messages made the otherwise docile horse agitated, and he just galloped forward aimlessly.

The rider chasing after him was Qi Meifeng. And the one who came out in front of him was naturally Zhu Youzhen.

Qi Meifeng saw that Zhu Youzhen had just learned to ride a horse, so she galloped on her horse, but she couldn't control it, so she hurriedly chased after her tightly behind, and shouted loudly: "Your Highness, don't clamp your legs, hold the reins of the horse with both hands, and stand up a little on the stirrups!" ”

But at this time, Zhu Youzhen was already frightened, and he didn't hear a word, and his mount was still running wildly uncontrollably.

Qi Meifeng saw that the situation was not good, and secretly exerted force on her legs and waist, speeding up the chase. Her horse was an uncastrated pony and had better foot strength than the gelding. In addition, she has superb riding skills, while Zhu Youzhen can't talk about riding skills at all, the distance between the two horses is getting closer and closer, and she can catch up at a glance.

Suddenly, the hooves of Zhu Youzhen's mount slipped on the ice, and the horse lost its front hooves, turned over and fell down with a loud scream.

At this critical moment, Qi Meifeng and her mount jumped forward like a dragon. When jumping on top of Zhu Youzhen's unbalanced horse that was about to fall, Qi Meifeng suddenly hung on the stirrup with only one foot, but her whole body slipped from the horse's back to the horse's belly, lightly stretched her jade arms, hugged Zhu Youzhen, and took her into her arms.

This prancing horse, taking off the stirrup, saving people, and getting on the horse, the whole action is done in one go. In the blink of an eye, the gelding had fallen heavily on the hard ice, breaking bones and tendons.

Qi Meifeng's mount had just landed smoothly from the air, rushed forward a few steps, and then slowly slowed down under the control of Qi Meifeng's legs only.

And although Qi Meifeng did her best to save Zhu Youzhen, she also used too much force and couldn't restrain herself, so she let Zhu Youzhen bump into her face to face. The lips of the two were tightly imprinted together under this collision!

"Your Highness!" Qi Meifeng just subconsciously pushed Zhu Youzhen away, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and gently pushed him back. The sky is full of red morning glow, and it is not as beautiful as she is at this time!

Zhu Youzhen was shocked, hugged Qi Meifeng's waist, and shouted in a panic: "Beauty... Meifeng, I don't dare to open my eyes! ”

Qi Meifeng couldn't cry or laugh, and was busy whispering softly in the ear of this goods: "Your Highness, it's okay!" ”

Zhu Youzhen opened his eyes at this time, but he saw Qi Meifeng's face so close at a glance. The bodies of the two were still close together, hugging each other tightly in such an awkward position. At that moment, the carthing's heart fluttered, and a physiological reaction occurred between his legs.

At this time, the five hundred soldiers behind also caught up, seeing that the prince and the main general somehow rode on a horse, the prince also hugged the main general with an obscene face, and the lower abdomen seemed to be slightly bulging, and suddenly his head was full of black lines, and they all stood on the spot, not daring to step forward.

Qi Meifeng's face was flushed with shame, she hurriedly reined in the horse, hugged Zhu Youzhen gently, knelt down in the snow and said, "Let Your Highness be frightened, and you will be sentenced to death!" ”

Only then did Zhu Youzhen realize his gaffe, and quickly let go of his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you Meifeng for coming to the rescue, if it weren't for you, this king would have returned to the West, hehehehehe!" However, this king does not have that... Insemination..."

This product is deliberately cheap, but fortunately, people in this era don't understand this word, and they don't care too much.

The Qi family is not prosperous, and Qi Meifeng has always been raised as a boy. There is a tradition of martial arts in the family, she has followed her father to practice martial arts since she was a child, and she is often in the army, and she has seen a lot of men, but she is not like a rich lady in this era, hiding in the boudoir and not going out of the door.

But despite this, in this era when men and women are not intimate, young men and women do not have the right to love freely, and they don't even dare to think about it. Qi Meifeng is the same, although she has reached the age of early love, she only practices martial arts and performs in the army every day. For that kind of thing, you can only dare to reverie in the dead of night, when you are alone in the boudoir.

And the men around her, because she is the daughter of the main general, also regard her as a young master, and they are all respectful when they see her, who dares to treat her as an ordinary girl?

At this time, she was suddenly kissed by Zhu Youzhen's wolf, which had never been intimate contact with the opposite sex, which suddenly made her heart beat wildly, her delicate body trembled, and even her pink neck turned red with shame.

Zhu Youzhen also felt a little embarrassed when he saw everyone watching from afar, scratched his head and laughed: "Anyway, our marching speed is a little faster than just now." Unfortunately, this horse broke my leg. ”

Qi Meifeng also desperately took a few breaths of clear air to calm down her mind as soon as possible. She smiled reluctantly: "Your Highness is riding a horse for the first time, and it is very dangerous to gallop like this. Fortunately, it was only the horse that was injured, and if His Highness was injured, the last general would not survive.

"As for this horse, Your Highness doesn't have to worry. There was already a surplus of horses in the army, but this horse had a broken leg, and now it was in the midst of a rapid march, and there was no time to take care of it, so it had to be killed and buried, so that it would suffer less. ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't want to miss this opportunity to keep pace with the beauty, and said with a salivating face: "Since there are still surplus horses, I promise not to run again, can you let me change the horse to ride?" ”

Qi Meifeng wanted to refuse, but for some reason, she couldn't export, so she nodded lightly and said, "Your Highness's robe is too wide for horseback riding, so you have to change into armor." ”

Zhu Youzhen had never worn armor before, so he felt fresh, and said yes again and again.

However, the soldiers only have one set of armor, and the soldiers of the Qi family army are all tall, and they do not have the size that Zhu Youjian can wear. Qi Meifeng saw that he was about the same height as herself, so she had to take out her spare set of armor with shame and let Zhu Youzhen hang it neatly.

The soldier led another horse, and this time Zhu Youzhen turned over and got on the horse, and he was really much more skilled than just now. He sat upright on his horse, dressed in a shining silver helmet and silver armor with a long red tassel on the top, a quiver on his back, and a large sword hanging from the ring of birds' wings. At first glance, he is really a little high-spirited, like a general who leads his troops into battle.

This time, however, he did not dare to accelerate suddenly, but lightly touched the horse's belly with his heel and loosened the reins slightly. The horse really jogged in small steps, and Zhu Youzhen also followed Qi Meifeng's example, leaving his butt slightly off the saddle, and his body fell down with the rhythm of the horse, and he really couldn't feel the violent bumps last time.

Qi Meifeng followed closely behind, and the rest of the Qi family's soldiers were pushing the cart and trotting forward, falling back slightly. The speed of the march was greatly accelerated, and by noon, it had already gone more than thirty miles. At this rate, it is no problem to rush to Tongzhou before dark.

After eating some dry food and drinking some water, this team of more than 500 people embarked on the journey again.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen was already familiar with it, and smiled at Qi Meifeng on the horse: "It seems that riding a horse is quite simple!" ”

At this time, the wind gradually increased, and if Qi Meifeng was far away from Zhu Youzhen, she couldn't hear his voice clearly, so she had to make a slight preoccupation and go with Zhu Youzhen.

She replied with a smile: "Your Highness, this riding technique seems simple, if you want to reach the realm of 'unity of man and horse', you can't do it without more than ten years of experience." ”

"What do you mean by 'unity of man and horse'?" Zhu Youzhen asked curiously.

Qi Meifeng explained: "To put it simply, 'the unity of man and horse' means that the rider and the horse figure it out, without deliberately thinking about how to control the speed and direction, with only subtle movements on the legs and simple passwords, the horse can understand the owner's requirements."

"When you reach the realm of 'unity of man and horse', you can completely free your hands. The more savvy riders, without even using their legs, can stand entirely on the horse's back, or have one foot in the stirrup, and hide their whole body under the horse's belly.

"When fighting, mastering the skill of 'unity of men and horses' can multiply the combat power, and one is ten. The reason why the Mongols and Jianlu repeatedly defeated our Ming army in field battles was because they had been fighting with horses since they were young, and everyone was 'one man and horse', and they almost didn't need to aim when they opened their bows and arrows on their horses. However, our army is mainly infantry, and there are few cavalry, and there are even fewer of them who can reach the level of 'unity of men and horses', and it is inevitable that they will suffer losses. ”

Zhu You listened to Qi Meifeng's introduction, and his heart was also clouded, and he said depressedly: "According to this, Jianyu can't be defeated?" ”

"Not really." Qi Meifeng hurriedly said, "Although Jianyu is good at cavalry shooting, our army is good at defending the city. And the infantry is not invincible against the cavalry. When the ancestor Qi Jiguang served as the commander-in-chief of Jizhou, he had repeatedly defeated the Mongols, and my Qi family army could fight on foot and break the cavalry. When you arrive on the battlefield, Your Highness will be able to see the specific tactics. ”

The two spurred their horses and talked while walking, and Zhu Youzhen felt very uncomfortable.

And Qi Meifeng's heart also secretly gave birth to a kind of extravagant hope: how good it would be if she went on like this and never reached the end!
