The next day, Jiang Hexing and Ma Yuan led the cavalry to be fully armed, set off from the Barbarian Mansion, and walked towards the Jiaojun Field. The pen "Fun" Pavilion waited for www.biquge.info team to walk to Zhangtai Street, and the road was full of people, all eyes on this team.

Ma Yuan was covered in plate armor, except for his eyes, his whole body was surrounded by steel, he was holding a large sword, carrying a longbow on his back, and walked at the front of the team. There were five rows behind him, a total of ten rows, just enough to fill the road. The cavalrymen each held a saber in their hands, carried bows and arrows on their backs, and raised their swords to the sky in the same posture. The horses are all white horses, and in the order of the horse aid, the horses are not in a hurry or slow, and they take a unified step. The well-informed people of Chang'an City have never seen such a team that can train horses like this. With the "one-two-one" order in the mouth of the horse, only the rhythm of "bo-bo-bo" was heard, and the horse's hooves stepped on the bluestone road, sounding step by step, and gradually walked south. At this time, the sun came out of the east, and the armor of the soldiers under the sun flashed and flashed, and although it was summer, the people on the side of the road still felt a chill.

More and more people gathered on the side of the road, and many children wore and walked around, giggling and laughing. At this time, a small child suddenly came out of the side and ran towards the horse. The boy was running very fast, and the horse, though he was jogging, was still faster than a man, and he was about to collide with each other. Everyone next to them looked over, and saw that the horse could not be controlled, and they had to kick the child.

Everyone only saw a shadow flickering on the horse, and saw that an iron man had already held the child. Look at the child, in the arms of the man of steel, giggling and shaking his little hands to take off the helmet of the man of steel. The man of steel, it was Ma Yuan, he had just seen the child running over, it was too late to stop the horse, fortunately he reacted quickly, handed the big knife to his left hand, jumped off the horse quickly, stretched out his right hand to hold the child.

But this child was naughty, holding his hands to grab the helmet, Ma Yuan held a knife in his left hand and the child in his right hand, and he couldn't spare his hands to deal with this "bear child". Ma Yuan wanted to put down the child, but the child cried and made a fuss, and everyone next to him laughed, and Ma Yuan's face was hot. He really didn't know how to deal with this child, so he had to pick him up, but this time the child was also smart, grabbed the helmet with both hands, and with a lot of force, he actually took it down and hugged him into his arms. Ma Yuan was at a loss, how could the soldiers throw away their weapons at will. But as soon as he took the helmet, the boy began to cry. The people next to him danced with their hands, as if they had never seen the majestic general-like figure just now, and they were suddenly at a loss by this child's hand.

In the end, Ma Yuan had to give the helmet to the child, and the child hugged the helmet and ran away happily.

At this time, the team had already stopped, and the horses came to their aid, and the team stopped there neatly, as if it had been measured. Ma Yuan got on the horse again, Ma Yuan without a helmet, with short hair, heroic, sitting on a white horse, people seemed to find that this white horse boy was very handsome, with pink face and thin lips, and he looked like he was eighteen or nineteen years old. At this time, the girl on the side of the road shouted excitedly, as if she had never seen a beautiful man. Ma Yuan's white face was red with shame, but he had to look forward and shout the slogan again.

The speed of the team was a little slower, after all, the road was not long, and although there were many people on the road, the middle of the road was still left for them to show. In the blink of an eye, I arrived at the teaching military field, which was south of the gate of Weiyang Palace, not far from the outer city wall. There is a large area between the city wall and the palace wall, which is used as a teaching and military field.

Ma Yuan walked through the courtyard wall of the Jiaojun Field, which was covered with green vines, and there were a few yellow flowers blooming in the middle. In the middle of the courtyard wall was a tall wooden black door, perhaps freshly painted, and a strange smell of lacquer rushed straight over.

At the entrance of the teaching field, two generals were waiting there in military uniforms, the captain of the southern army was not a bystander, it was Yan You, and there was also a general next to him who was tall and arm-long, it seemed that archery must be a good hand, and a pair of leopard eyes shot at Ma Yuan and others like electricity.

Ma Yuan stepped forward and saluted Ma Yuan: "This little general, Yan You, the guard captain of the Xiannan Army, is waiting for the Pingzhou military horses here by the order of the Empress Dowager. At this time, Jiang He Xingyuan was at the back of the team, and when he saw that it seemed to be Yan You, he hit the horse and greeted Yan You.

Yan You introduced to Jiang Hexing: "King He, this general is the ruling Jinwu Chen Mao, he leads the northern army, and I lead the southern army. The forbidden army of Chang'an City is the two commanders of us. ”

Jiang Hexing hurriedly greeted Chen Mao and chatted as he walked. Several people entered the teaching military field, and Ma Yuan reorganized the team, waiting for the arrival of the Empress Dowager. The gate of the military field is open to the north, facing the gate, there are two teams of men and horses, one in the east and one in the west, with bright armor and bright armor, standing in line. There is a red flag in front of the team, the east side is embroidered with a mountain tiger, and the west red flag is embroidered with a flying bear, and the flag is flying in the majestic wind, making a "fluttering" sound. The horse aid had placed the team to the north of the western team, facing east, in a row of 10 people, and lined up with 5 groups of cavalry. The horse was mounted on a horse and stood at the front of the line.

At this moment, a horseman rode a white horse and carried an apricot yellow flag, which swayed up and down as he galloped. He came directly to Yan You and Chen Mao, stopped his horse, and shouted, "The Empress Dowager has arrived, please take it." ”

Jiang Hexing, Yan You and Chen Mao didn't dare to slack off, and the three of them walked outside the teaching army field together, kneeling and waiting for the arrival of the Empress Dowager. After a while, with the sound of drums, a sixteen-person shoulder came to everyone's eyes. On that shoulder, it is the Queen Mother, wearing a jade phoenix on her head, and her head is full of pearls. He wears a black brocade robe embroidered with red peonies. The rest of the decoration is either gold or jade, and so on, and it is very luxurious. The shoulder, also covered with gold, shone with golden light, and walked towards the gate.

There was a team of guards in front of the shoulder, each holding a short knife in their hands, their faces expressionless, already standing outside the gate of the teaching military field, and the team just arrived at the gate of the teaching military field, and they didn't move anymore.

The shoulder did not stop, but walked all the way forward, towards the Sect Army. There was also a large group of cavalry behind, closely following. A courteous official came over, and after calling the three of them to see the ceremony, the empress dowager was arranged on the parade platform, condescendingly, scanning the audience, and there were many guards, swords and guns, and flags.

Jiang Hexing stood on the left side of the Queen Mother, looking at the Queen Mother, and now he can see clearly. Although his hair is full of pearls, he is not young, with white hair, a rich and kind face, and he also looks at the sergeants with a smile. At this time, the Empress Dowager looked at the three of them and said, "If you are bored in the palace every day, everyone will be bored." Come out today to see the excitement, what do you have to see to relieve my boredom? ”

Yan You stepped forward and said: "Back to the Empress Dowager, today the Empress Dowager patrolled the military field and inspected the forbidden army and the Pingzhou army, which is really the blessing of our forbidden army and the Pingzhou army." In order to let the Empress Dowager see the military might of my Han family, Yan You and I discussed with the king that we should first show the cavalry, and then show the bow and arrows, which are all necessary for us to deal with the Xiongnu barbarians. ”

The Empress Dowager said, "Then let's start." "The words are plain, but there is a majesty of their own.

Chen Mao waved his hand, only to hear the sound of drums, the east team of about 1,000 people, the front general, waving the tiger flag, the team moved slowly. The reviewing stand was on the east side of the gate, and the team did not go directly to the review stand, but slowly turned right and went east, so that the team really pulled away. The speed is getting faster and faster, the formation is still the same, the dust in the teaching army field is flying, the team has run to the south of the teaching army field, the ground trembles slightly, and the horses neighed happily. The formation of the team began to change, and the team was already showing an arrow flying in front of it, but it was getting wider and wider in the back.

The Empress Dowager smiled and nodded, looking at Chen Mao.

The team turned a corner in the southwest corner, but slowly changed its formation, and at this time it was a huge circle, with a blank space in the middle, and no horses, thinking of the purpose of encircling the enemy. The huge circle was speeding all the way north, and at this time it was so fast that everyone felt the shaking of the ground and saw the smoke and dust in the west.

When the formation reached the northwest corner, it changed formation again, and when the formation came due east, it was already in the original formation, row by row, by team, and the speed of the horses slowed down. The soldiers were holding spears in their hands, and the spearheads were soaring into the sky, and the vanguard of the team had already walked to the review stand, and everyone on the review stand had seen the sergeants clearly. White helmets and white armor, with red tassels on white helmets, are like clusters of burning flames in the running of war horses. The general at the front saw the Empress Dowager, raised his banner into the air, and shouted: "Long live!" Banzai! ”

The sergeants, spears in their hands, raised them to the sky and shouted: "Hurray! Banzai! The voice resounded through the sky, and several echoes echoed in the distance.

The Empress Dowager looked at the soldiers and nodded with satisfaction.

The team was brought back to the same place, and the Flying Bears to the west slowly drove out. This team is just black armor, each riding a red horse. The presentations for both teams are similar, with the only difference being that a white torrent swells forward and sweeps everything away. One is a black beast that wants to engulf heaven and earth.

The Empress Dowager watched the performance of the cavalry of the two forbidden armies with great satisfaction, and looked at the river with her eyes: "And the king, it's time to see your Pingzhou military horses." ”

Jiang Hexing waved his hand, and Ma Yuan raised a big knife. Everyone watched the swords flash in the sun, and the team came directly to the review stand, and the speed slowly accelerated, but the war horses used all stepped forward in uniform steps, none of them were ahead, and none of them were behind. The team pushes forward like a quadrangle. The warrior hunched his waist, holding the reins in his left hand and his saber in his right hand, each of them wrapped in steel, with only a cold light shining from his eyes. The horses were also heavily armoured, shining silver in the sun, like a giant cart propelled forward, and crushed everything like a boulder tumbling down from a mountain.

The team walked past the review stand, and everyone saw what kind of equipment the approaching team was, and each stretched their necks, but the team was too small and too fast, and they had already floped over in a flash.

When the team reached the northeast corner, they also began to change formations, and when they were ready to go south, an arrow had formed, pointed in front and wide in the back. Ma Yuan raised the big knife in his hand and shouted: "Cut to the right" Seeing that in this team, everyone raised their sabers and slashed in front of the right, and only the swords flashed in the sun. Again: "Cut back." I saw that the soldiers of this team, each holding the reins in their left hands, remained still, raised their knives and slashed at the right rear, and the knives were raised and fell at the same time. After the cut, return to the action just now, and the formation remains the same.

The Empress Dowager watched interestingly, staring straight at her. Yan You and Chen Mao were shocked and at a loss, looking at the cavalry team, and then at Jiang Hexing, their eyes were restless.

Ma Yuan led the team to do two more movements, the team has reached the southeast corner, turn around, the formation has changed, look at it, as if there is no formation, look carefully, the original team is scattered, one horse in front, two horses in the back. Under the order of Ma Yuan, one person in front is making stabs, and the people in the back are chopping and chopping, a bit like, it feels like three people are a tactical exercise to surround one person or a group of people. At first glance, it is a bit chaotic, but if you look closely, it has its own rhythm.

Maybe a little far, there was a sigh from the review stand, and they all craned their necks to look, and when everyone was looking at it with taste, the team turned a corner and came north, and the small arrows were gone, forming three large arrows, and again there were various immediate movements. What's even more amazing is that as you walk, the arrows on both sides actually swap directions to form a cross. By the end of the demo, the team had turned again.

The team formed a square again, and marched forward with neat steps. The line slowed down, and the team was fully in front of the review stand. With a wave of his sword, the team stopped. Ma helped: "Take off the crown" of the warriors, put the saber into the scabbard, take off the helmet, and hold it in the left hand.

Ma Yuan gave another order: "Salute!" Seeing all the soldiers, all standing straight on the stirrups, looking at the Empress Dowager, holding the swords into the sheath, chanting together: "Long live!" Banzai! Hooray! ”

The Empress Dowager was overjoyed, clapped her hands and said, "Okay, good, everyone is doing very well." Jiang Hexing, wait and call the little general. ”

Jiang Hexing received the order, and after Ma Yuan brought the team back, Jiang Hexing brought him to the Empress Dowager. Because of the armor all over his body, Ma Yuan couldn't salute, so he had to stand dumbfounded, waiting for the will of the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager looked Ma Yuan up and down, one at the appearance, and the other at the strange plate armor. Everyone's eyes also looked over, and Ma Yuan was a little anxious, so he had to wait for the will of the Queen Mother.

After a while, the Empress Dowager said, "What do you call the little general?" How old is this year? ”

"Back to the Empress Dowager, Ma Yuan, nineteen years old."

"Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, and Ma Yuan's performance is very good. But I heard that this morning, a 6-year-old child in Chang'an City took away a general's helmet, but you? ”

When the Empress Dowager asked this, she was full of laughter, and the female relatives around her sneered, Ma Yuan's white face suddenly turned red, and she said the morning's events again.

Yan You and Chen Mao didn't know about it, and the first time they heard about it, they also laughed.

In the laughter of everyone, the Empress Dowager said: "In ancient times, women and children competed with the king's army, and now there are children who grab the helmet of Pingzhou's division on the way, and the rivers are good for your military training." The horse aid helmet is gone, and I have a bounty helmet here to reward the horse aid. ”

Soon the guards brought the golden helmet, and Jiang Hexing and Ma Yuan hurriedly came over to thank the reward. When he was done, he gave the order and showed his bow and arrows.

First of all, the forbidden army showed, they all dismounted, lined up, there were three rows of soldiers walked out first, there were about 300 people, the warriors held bows and arrows, with the wave of the flag, the northern army in the east came first to shoot to the south, the sky was like a rain of arrows, the sky in the south, covering the clouds and the sun, black bows and arrows were flying forward. Shoot three arrows in a row. The tiger flag waved again, and three rows of soldiers came out in a neat row, these people were holding crossbows in their hands, and when they gave an order, the sky was covered with clouds and sun, and crossbow arrows were flying in the air.

There are no crossbows in the river marching troops, this operation is simple, does not require special training, that is, the range is shorter than that of bows and arrows, and the arrow is slower, and the advantage is that almost everyone can use it.

The last remaining warriors, together forward, sat on the ground and crossed each other. Put the crossbow in front of you, step on the **** with both feet, pull back with both hands, and the crossbow arrow shot forward, much farther than the bow and arrow in front, and you can see that this **** is really powerful.

Jiang Hexing sighed to himself, this kind of crossbow arrow is the most powerful in this era, but the operation is a little clumsy.

After the northern army finished the exercise, the southern army performed the same content, and the two armies were on equal footing.

When it was his turn, he mounted his horse again, this time with a golden helmet, and his head shone with a golden light, which was extraordinary. His warriors did the same, urging their horses to the east.

The audience was a little confused, why do you have to ride a horse to shoot arrows, could it be that you are also shooting crossbows? But look at the longbows in each of their hands, which are a little larger than their usual bows. Ma Yuan led the team to the place where they fired the bow and arrow just now, raised the longbow in his hand and waved, and the people behind him drew the bow and arrow together, but the horse did not stop, and the arrow shot out, much farther than the bow and arrow just now, but not as far as ****. The horse continued to move forward, and the arrows were shot continuously, and the buzzing sound of breaking through the air was much duller than the bow and arrow just now, showing that it was more powerful.

The horse helper shouted, and the team followed him to the road where he had just wielded the saber, this time he switched to archery, still on the horse, shooting forward, left, right, and the bow and arrow shot farther with the speed of the horse. What's even more surprising is that when the horse is galloping, the horse aid gives an order, and all the soldiers can shoot backwards, knowing that this shooting will not go far, but everyone knows that it is fatal to the pursuers.

Ma Yuan showed all the way, ran a lap along the military horse farm, and returned to the same place. Everyone watched it strangely, and they felt very unpleasant, and they each reminisced about the heroic posture that flew immediately just now.

The Empress Dowager was overjoyed, and she was very satisfied with the forbidden army and the Pingzhou army.

Jiang Hexing thought it was going to end at this time, but at this time, Chen Mao suddenly walked forward to the Empress Dowager and said, "Minister Chen Mao asked the Empress Dowager to allow me to test the bow and arrow with Ma Yuan." ”

The Empress Dowager came with the mentality of watching the excitement, so she immediately allowed it and ordered people to start preparations.

The target was ready-made, and both stood 200 paces away. This is a distance that ordinary people can't shoot, and it seems that both of them are confident.

Chen Mao's bow was specially made, larger than the average bow and arrow in the Han army, but smaller than the one commonly used in the Pingzhou army, and it was also a horned bow.

But seeing Chen Mao holding his bow and arrows, pulling the bow full, standing in a lunge, holding the bow in his arms, looking at the arrow target, with a whoosh, the bow and arrow flew out. The arrow flew towards the bullseye like a meteor, and with a bang, the bow and arrow firmly stuck to the bull's-eye position.

Ma Yuan walked to the place where Chen Mao shot the arrow, and with the same action, he saw that the arrow seemed to run faster, and it was also stuck in the bull's-eye, but the target shook, and everyone was shocked, is the young general's strength so powerful?

Chen Mao's face was a little embarrassed, his brows were twisted together, he almost didn't meet an opponent in archery, he didn't expect the opponent to be so powerful. Shoot again, just as wonderful, hit the bull's-eye. Ma Yuan then shot an arrow, it was still the same, and the target shook visibly again.

Jiang Hexing understood that horse aid archery may not be Chen Mao's opponent, and it is better to be strong in bow and arrow. Ma Yuan also looked at Jiang Hexing at this time, and Jiang Hexing nodded.

Ma Yuan walked up to Chen Mao and said, "General Chen, you try my bow and arrow." Saying that, he handed over the bow and arrows to Chen Mao, Chen Mao was not polite, he took the bow and arrows, and let them out, only to see the bow and arrow bang, half of it was pierced, and everyone was shocked, it seems that Chen Mao is still powerful, but the bow and arrow are not as good as horse aid.

Then Ma Yuan shot it with Chen Mao's bow and arrow, and the arrow barely hit the target, this time it was not the arrow target that was shaking, but the arrow was a little shaky.

Everyone cheered for Chen Mao, and even Jiang Hexing admired him very much, this is a natural archer.

Ma Yuan came over and said, "General Chen, a natural marksman, is very impressed, far less. ”

Chen Mao's face soothed, and he laughed: "There is no natural divine shooting, I have been practicing for 30 years before I can perform like this." When I was your age, I was far inferior to you, and I was terrible in the future. ”

Everyone was very happy, and the Queen Mother was also very happy, and they gave the two of them a reward, all of which were jade. Then she went back to her old man's house, and Jiang Hexing also said goodbye to Chen Mao and Yan You. Jiang He Xing Ma Yuan led the team back to the hotel.
