Chapter 404: Seeking Horses

A good war horse is too important for the generals of this ancient era.

If you take a stunning beauty and a thousand-mile horse for those generals to choose, it is estimated that they will generally choose a thousand-mile horse.

In the Three Kingdoms era, there are very few real Maximas, and the really famous one is naturally Lu Bu's mount, the Red Rabbit Horse, but now it has become Guan Yu's mount. Then, there is Liu Bei's Lu, and Cao Cao's mount Huang Feidian. Naturally, there are also the mounts of Zhao Yun and Tai Shici.

In this life, there are also more Liu Yi's white dragon horses and a number of good horses that have been transformed by Liu Yi. But these are all transformed by Liu Yi with Yuanyang True Qi, and it depends on the owner who owns them to give full play to the speed of these war horses and their additional combat power. Not really Maxima.

For example, if Liu Yi's white dragon horse is compared with the red rabbit horse, if it is Liu Yi riding, through the nourishment of his own Yuanyang true qi, the white dragon horse will not lose to the red rabbit horse in terms of speed and endurance, and even on its fierce Cheng dΓΉ. However, if there is another person to ride, it will be far inferior to the red rabbit horse, in front of the red rabbit horse, the white dragon horse will even feel the natural king of the red rabbit horse and weaken itself.

Some people will enhance their combat effectiveness because of their horses, while some horses will also be different because of their owners. The kind of natural king horse, and the war horse that has been transformed by Liu Yi, is not the same generalization, the thousands of horses that have been transformed by Liu Yi, there is always a little less wild domineering in his bones, only when his master shows domineering strength, they will empathize, the same domineering awe-inspiring, but if. Their masters don't help, then. They will be reduced to ordinary war horses.

Ma Chao actually didn't know how much he envied Chaoyun and Tai Shici's war horses, the war horses of the two. It is also a snow-white war horse, galloping like a fly, especially Tai Shici's war horse, which can cross mountains and rivers, and is definitely a divine horse.

The Swift Wind Thunder Dragon is a real wild horse that Ma Chao occasionally encountered in Xiliang, and he has already coveted it, but he just failed to catch and tame it.

Now, see your favorite horse again. Ma Chao really couldn't help the impulse in his heart, and he had crooked thoughts about this war horse.

"The two kings, the general, I, Ma Chao, am also a Xiliang who grew up in Xiliang, and I also know some of the hobbies of your grassland people. For example, your bullfighting, wrestling, jousting and archery, etc., are generally not casually compared, and generally, there will be some colorful heads, right? So, I thought. Let's compete in the competition this time, and also add a little bit of color. What do you think? ”

"Oh? It is worthy of us Xiliang people, who understand our rules, this building yì is good. But. Now we ...... Well, you say, what kind of jackpot would be better? "King Cheriphon said.

Ma Chao rolled his eyes. He pointed to the military camps of these Di and Qiang tribes and said, "My lord, I see that your tribe's tent is stationed here. Stretching for dozens of miles, I'm afraid that at least hundreds of thousands of people have been gathered, right? So many people come together. I think you must be nervous about your food problem. Therefore, I, Ma Chao, am willing to provide enough food for your tribesmen for ten days as the prize for this competition. ”

"Ten days? Food for hundreds of thousands of people? Is this true? ”

This is tens of thousands of stone of grain, worth thousands of gold, just take it out to make a contest? Moreover, it was still the food they needed the most now, and for a while, the leaders of the alien races around them were a little commotion.

"So, what are we going to come up with? Silver? Darijitai said a little nervously.

"No, just a warhorse. If you are a king, you will use this wind and thunder dragon of yours as a colorful head, and you will win the competition, the war horse is yours, and the tens of thousands of stone grain are also yours, how about it? Of course, if you lose, then ......" Ma Chao's purpose is self-evident.

The king of the fan was suddenly a little unhappy, it turned out that this Ma Chao was fighting his own idea of this war horse.

For Mi Dang, this wind thunder dragon is also his beloved, and he will not let people get close to it. How could he be willing to take it out as a lottery head? What's more, this Storm Thunder Dragon is just his personal property, if he wins, the lottery he gets is the entire Di and Qiang tribes, how can he be willing?

"No way!" Without thinking, he said, "This is absolutely not possible!" Hmph, it turns out that you want to fight this king's war horse's idea, don't think about it! In any case, I will not use my war horse as a lottery for our competition. ”

The king is not stupid, and refuses on the spot. It's not that he's afraid of losing the competition, but he never thought that he would let his war horse out.

"Eh, this ......" The two kings of the Qiang clan couldn't help but look at each other, and their faces were embarrassed.

At this time, Jia Xu had already seen that Ma Chao asked to replace Wen Chou in the battle, and put forward Caitou, which turned out to be the idea of beating the war horse that was the king. Jia Xu is a minister, but he is not too enthusiastic about the things of the mounts under his seat, and besides, with his weak and polite appearance, he is not suitable for riding those violent war horses. However, he naturally also knows the meaning of a thousand-mile horse for a general. He knew that Ma Chao was like this, and there must be Ma Chao's own reasons.

"General Ma Chao, come over here." Jia Xu greeted Ma Chao, and Ma Chao came to speak.

When Ma Chao arrived in front of him, Jia Xu lowered his voice and said, "General Ma Chao, what's the matter?" What is so special about that war horse? Are you really going to take out that grain for a lottery? ”

"Master Jia, this horse is the same as Lu Bu's Red Rabbit Horse, it is the wild horse king of the wild horse group of the grassland, and the divine horse is abnormal, almost comparable to the Red Rabbit Horse. Such a maxima is of absolutely extraordinary significance to our generals who fight on the battlefield. Ma Chao explained in a low voice: "As for the food, I, Ma Chao, am responsible, of course, I won't lose." ”

"That's ......" Jia Xu listened to Ma Chao's words, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the white horse that had galloped to Mi Dang's side, and really felt that his horse was extraordinary. Standing there like this, there is a bit of the momentum of the king of the world.

When it comes to ideas, Jia Xu's heart is much more than Ma Chao's. He patted Ma Chao on the shoulder, and turned to Darijitai and Cherrigi: "Two kings." Otherwise, tens of thousands of stone of grain. It's not a lottery, it's a gift we gave you. Other than that. Let's take out tens of thousands of stones of grain, and make a fortune with the king of Midang, if the king wins, then these tens of thousands of stones of grain, even if it is his own. I think that the tribe is also quite short of food supplies at this moment, right? I thought, this batch of grain. It should be able to solve the urgent needs of his tribe. How is it? ”

"Good! Midang, you see...... "When the two kings heard that they directly sent tens of thousands of stones of grain as a meeting gift, their hearts were overjoyed and they looked at Midang.

In fact, they can directly order the Mi Dang to be executed, but they don't seem to want to ask for the Mi Dang excessively, but instead take the method of asking for the Mi Dang's personal opinion.

"This ...... This ......" fan couldn't help but be a little moved, after all, he and his tribe came here. His purpose was to come for food, and with food, he and his people could survive. But, for now. It has not yet reached the final point, and it is not enough for him to get to the point of selling this rare thousand-mile horse in the world. So, he was a little intrigued. But I still don't want to. If you lose, you will lose this thousand-mile horse.

Other than that. There is another reason, he just got this thousand-mile horse. On the battlefield, his personal strength has also been raised to a higher level. When confronting the enemy, he can often defeat the opponent by surprise with the divine steed of the Wind Thunder Dragon. It's hard to imagine that after he lost this thousand-mile horse, he would still be as prosperous as he is now. In the desert, in the prairie, the war horse is the second life of these steppe tribesmen.

"Ahem...... Can we take a step to speak? Jia Xu took the initiative to step forward and said to the fan.

"What do you have to say?" Mi Dang looked at Jia Xu vigilantly.

"Come on, come first." Jia Xu said, and once again Darijitai and Cheriphon arched their hands, and walked to the relatively empty place next to them, waiting for the fascination to come.

Seeing that the two kings nodded in agreement, Mi Dang walked behind Jia Xu.

"King Obsessed, have you ever heard that among our Han people, there is a story about his guilt?" Jia Xu lowered his voice and whispered to the fan.

"Guilty? This is a story about He's Bi, right? ”

"Well, hehe, it seems that you are also quite accomplished in the civilization of our Han people." Jia Xu chuckled and said, "Since you know this story, then you should also know the meaning of this story, right?" Now, to be a king is to be guilty of it. ”

"Huh? This king is guilty? How can it be? The fan didn't react for a while, and said puzzled.

"Hehe, you tribes of the desert steppe have your own rules of survival, and the weak and the strong are the basic rules of survival of your tribe. That war horse, in the eyes of you steppe tribesmen, will definitely not be inferior to the piece of harmony in our sins. Relatively speaking, you will think that Nahe Shibi is just a piece of jade in the stone, and there is nothing unusual about it. For you, a thousand-mile horse is much more precious than our piece of jade. The Wind Thunder Dragon is the king of horses. Only the strongest warriors of your steppe can get it. It's just that, for the time being, the Wind Thunder Dragon is not too famous, and the two kings of your Qiang clan don't know much about it. If they knew about the extraordinariness of this Storm Thunder Dragon, do you think they would let you give it to them? Do you think, if they take a fancy to your warhorse, can you not let it out? Don't give it to them? Their tribe is much stronger than yours, and it's just a common thing for you to fight each other on the steppe, right? When the time comes, do you dare not obey orders? Do you dare to rebel against them? Also, two kings, you only have one war horse, who can you give it to? You say, is there such a possibility? ”

There is no doubt that such a situation is absolutely existent. The tribes on the grassland, they won't tell you anything, he is stronger than you, and you really don't dare not give it to you if you like it. Not to mention a war horse, even if it is his wife and daughter, he can only give it.

Now, after Jia Xu reminded him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of chagrin in his heart, thinking that he actually brought this thousand-mile horse and let him show his face in the tribe, which was really a very unwise behavior. However, Midang also knows that the news that he has a thousand-mile horse will spread sooner or later, and when the time comes, it is impossible to say whether this thousand-mile horse can still belong to him.

"Confused as a big five, is what Jia said reasonable? At the moment, this horse has not been able to attract the real attention of your two kings. You might as well deal with this horse as soon as possible, so be it. Even if you win in the end, we are willing to exchange tens of thousands of stone grain for that war horse with you. Even if you lose, we will give you this batch of food personally. How is it? ”

When Jia Xu said this, he had to express his position, and he also woke up to the fact that this wind thunder dragon was in his hands, and he was afraid that it was really a scourge. If you can deal with it before the tribe that is stronger than you realize the value of this horse. This is a wise decision.

After thinking about it for a while, Mi Dang had to agree with Jia Xu's words, and promised to take out the Wind Thunder Dragon as a color head.

In this way, the fate of the Wind Thunder Dragon is equivalent to being decided.

When he returned to the crowd, they were all overjoyed.

After the rules of the contest are explained, the competition begins.

Next to the camp of this alien army, there is a vast grassland, where Ma Chao and Midang. Fight each other on this grassland, and, depending on who can shoot more prey when they are each fighting.

There are quite a few prey in the steppe. There are snakes, pikas, rabbits, birds and other animals. Of course, there are no traces of large beasts, so many military horses are stationed here. Even if there were those large beasts on the grassland, they would have fled long ago.

One end of the savannah. There are not many rules for coming back to the far end to decide the winner. Of course. This is not a real battle, so there is an additional rule that prohibits the opponent from casting dark arrows. However, normal martial arts are within the scope of the competition.

The wind and sand are rolling, and the shouts are shaking the sky.

Ma Chao and Mi Dang are ready. Both of them jumped on their horses, one carrying a spear and the other a knife. Naturally, their respective bows and arrows are indispensable on their backs.

Ma Chao's expression was calm, of course, he couldn't hide the joy in his heart, looking at the war horse that Mi Dang stepped on, Ma Chao couldn't grab it immediately. After this competition, no matter what the result is, this war horse is his own.

The king was also very calm, although he had agreed to give up his horse, but he didn't think that he would lose to this Han general, even if the opponent was a young military general called Jinma Chao by the Xiliang people.

With an order, the competition officially began.

The king of the fan glanced at Ma Chao, who was riding the horse side by side with him, and shouted: "Let you go first, lest you eat dust behind my horse for a while." ”

"No need, the horse is faster, or not as fast as you, but this time, we are not comparing speed, there are other things." Ma Chao pointed his gun at Mi Dang, and said provocatively: "I hope you can have a chance to release arrows." ”

"Humph! We'll see, chick! Mi Dang was a little disdainful of Ma Chao's picking, and as soon as he patted the horse, the war horse rushed out like the wind.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded, not only the war horses of Ma Chao and Mi Dang, but also some people watching the battle, and the people who were responsible for monitoring the competition between the two generals.

This kind of competition is very common among aliens, they usually fix a range first, and then fight in this range. They compare horsemanship, martial arts, archery, and finally, see who defeats the opponent in this range, or who hunts more prey in the end, which is a comprehensive competition. In the process, they can attack each other, either outright defeat each other, or prevent each other from shooting their prey, and do whatever they can. In many life-and-death battles, you can kill people directly. But now, you can't plot, you can't kill people.

The misty war horse is really a miracle, and it actually narrowed the distance with Ma Chao all of a sudden, and the distance was dozens of steps.

Ma Chao was behind, and he didn't rush to catch up, because he knew the rules, let the fan choose what to fight first, and let the fan lose convincingly.

Mi Dang chose to compare the arrows first, he turned his head to look at Ma Chao, quickly hung up the long knife in his hand, and took down the longbow hanging on his back.

"Than arrows! Let's see how many arrows you can pick up from this king! ”

Mi Dang held a bow and arrow, jumped, stood directly on the horse's back, and turned to face Ma Chao, letting the war horse gallop forward, but he stood firmly, showing his superb riding skills.

When he drew his bow and aimed at Ma Chao, it immediately attracted a round of applause.

This is the result of saying in advance that it is not allowed to release dark arrows, otherwise, the fan will not remind Ma Chao.

"Arrows are arrows!" Ma Chao naturally did not show weakness, and also hung up the spear and quickly took the strong bow in his hand.

"Humph! Let you see the archery skills of our steppe condor archers! Mi Dang snorted coldly and shot an arrow with a whoosh.

The arrow was very urgent, and it was in front of Ma Chao in the blink of an eye, fast and ruthless.

Ma Chao turned to one side, directly avoided it, and shouted: "So-so, is this the only ability you have?" ”

"Jokes, this is just the beginning! Today, you don't want to hunt a prey! ”

After Mi Dang finished speaking, he swished out several arrows in a row, three arrows were shot at Ma Chao, and the other two arrows were shot to both sides.

It turned out that in the grass on both sides, two rabbits were startled out and nailed to the ground by his two arrows.

"Come and don't be rude, you can also take two arrows from me!" Ma Chao learned the same as Midang, and also jumped on the horse's back, twisted his body, and avoided Midang's three arrows, swished twice, and shot two arrows.

However, when he reflexively sat back on the horse, the war horse suddenly moved sideways, avoiding Ma Chao's two arrows.

"Good! It is the king of horses, it is so wonderful! Ma Chao praised not the fan, but the war horse under his step.

At the same time, the people who were chasing after the battle not far away also let out a cheer. (To be continued......)
