Chapter 66: The Real Marksmanship
Cheng Yanjin is an old man all his life, how can he not hear the meaning of Li Xian's words? But he didn't care about Li Xian's dissatisfaction at all, but said with a smile: "The king should understand that when fighting on the battlefield, my generals need to ride horses, the same is marksmanship, although foot combat and horse station are similar, but quite different, after all, when the horse stands, some moves need to take into account the horse under the seat, and can not be as free as foot combat, and at the same time, because people are on horseback, some moves that cannot be used in foot combat, with the help of the power of the high-speed running of the war horse, with the help of the height of the war horse, you can make a circle as you wish, in addition, Fighting immediately, all the factors of the war horse must be considered, such as the endurance and speed of the war horse, and even how to damage the opponent's mount, so as to force the opponent to fight on foot, etc., only by taking all this into account and making the best choice in an instant, can you become a hero on the horse. ”
Li Xian listened to Cheng Yanjin's remarks, and finally was completely convinced, and couldn't help but turn his anger into joy, and said respectfully to Cheng Yanjin: "The old general is really different from ordinary people, and he can say the essential difference between breaking the horse station and foot battle, Xiao Wang is really admired, Xiao Wang didn't know what to do before, and there may be offense in his words, and please don't blame the old general regardless of his previous suspicions." ”
But seeing Cheng biting Jin, he waved his hand again and again and said, "The king is serious." The king is simple in heart and straightforward in his heart, and it is too late for Lao Cheng to rejoice, how can he blame him? And how dare you blame? In fact, this matter can not be blamed on the king, because many perennial generals who have been fighting abroad do not understand this truth, and have failed to give full play to their martial arts, Lao Cheng This is also a summary of most of his life's experience, including not only Lao Cheng himself, but also old friends Qin Shubao, Luo Shixin, Shan Xiongxin, Wei Chi Jingde, Pei Xingyan and the former Zhang Xutuo Zhang Dashuai and others. ”
"No wonder this old Cheng can understand this layer, it turns out that this contains the experience of many fierce generals in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, hehe, it seems that this old man is really not simple." Li Xian sounded very respectful on the surface, but in his heart he was already thinking about calculating the other party, because from the other party's words, it could be heard that this person must still have a lot of skills that he had not taken out, not to mention anything else, just by virtue of the friendship between the other party and Luo Shixin, the founder of this set of marksmanship, Li Xian could conclude that the other party must know the real suitable marksmanship for horse warfare.
Who is Li Xian? Even if there is no cheap to touch, you still have to think about trying to get some benefits, not to mention that there is a cheap advantage to take advantage of now?
Therefore, when he saw that his eyes rolled, he said with a smile: "Xiao Wang knows that the old general has fought for decades in his life, and the bridge he has walked has more than the road that Xiao Wang has walked. Although Xiao Wang has been practicing marksmanship for several years, if he can get a little guidance from the old general, it will definitely save Xiao Wang ten years of pondering. ”
"Hehe, the king is really diligent and studious, intelligent, and does not hide from the king, the old man just likes the king and other smart people, like my eldest grandson Uncle Xian, if he can have half the king's wisdom, the old man will be able to die." Cheng Yanjin talked about his eldest grandson Cheng Boxian, and suddenly there was a look of hatred for iron and steel, and his face was a little lonely.
But fortunately, he was able to adjust his mood, and after a slight pause, he said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't mention that trouble, let the king laugh." Since the king is rare and the old man has this ability, the old man should not hide his selfishness, but if it is late today, if we ride on horseback, in the school field to simulate the fight, it will definitely disturb the soldiers, therefore, please also ask the king to endure it, and when tomorrow Brother Mao Gong leads the army to the new city, we will take the opportunity to practice martial arts in the school field, I don't know what the king wants? ”
Seeing that Cheng Biting Jin was very reasonable, although Li Xian sometimes has some stubbornness, he is not a person who does not distinguish between the important and the serious, so he can only agree: "Then it is a word, and after the army goes to war tomorrow, we will not be dispersed on the school field." ”
"Hehe, don't worry, the old man is not a man who keeps his word, not to mention that the old man is just a veteran under the command of the king, but the king is sent, how can the old man dare to disobey?"
Seeing Li Xian's serious look, Cheng Yanjin immediately laughed, arched his hand at Li Xian, said goodbye, and then slowly went down to rest.
"This old man is also interesting, although it is a little different from the lucky general who can only have a three-plate axe in the legend of later generations, but overall he is still a non-obnoxious old guy, huh? By the way, I don't know what kind of weapon this old man used? Could it really be that the axe can't be made? Li Xian looked at the back of Cheng Biting Jin slowly leaving, and suddenly had a whimsical idea in his heart, wanting to take a look at the weapons used by Lao Cheng, but he was afraid of angering the old man, causing him to be unwilling to teach himself martial arts, so it would be a lot of fun, so he could only forcibly endure the psychology of gossiping, and it was not too late to gossip after he learned the mastery.
Early the next morning, he immediately led a large group of men and horses to set off, leaving only Pang Tongshan and Xue Rengui's son Xue Ne and others to assist Li Xian in staying in the camp.
Although Pang Tongshan and Xue Ne and others are nominally assisting Li Xian, it is they who really put it into action, especially the veteran Pang Tongshan, who in fact took on the responsibility for the defense of the entire camp.
Although Li Xian is the commander of all the Northern Expeditionary Army, he is the most idle person, except when Li Ji led the army to go on the expedition, he led the remaining generals to see him off, and then there was nothing to do, in order to find something for himself, and also to find something for his own guards, Li Xian asked Pang Tongshan to help train the guards in his palace, although Pang Tongshan did not agree with Li Xian's expedition, and usually had no personal relationship with Li Xian, but the training was just a convenient one, so he did not refuse.
And after sending away the guards under him, Li Xian felt that he had finally calmed down, so he took the veteran Cheng Yanjin and his personal guards Zhang Wuchen, Dou Xiantong and others to the East Campus that had been agreed in advance.
Although it is said that it is a school field, it is actually just a flat land of about ten acres, compared to the vast area and well-equipped west school field, it is really incomparable, but firstly, because the west school field is the venue for Pang Tongshan to train the left-behind army, and secondly, it is extremely noisy there, so Li Xian is actually not willing to go there, and now it is sparsely populated, which is just suitable for practicing martial arts.
"King, the difference between horse combat and foot combat seems to be small, but the difference is thousands of miles, and the slight difference can sometimes be fatal, and this horse kung fu, the most basic and most important link, is to be able to sit firmly on the back of the horse, and is to sit firmly on the horse's back without holding the reins, in addition to the need to use both legs to control the running speed and direction of the mount, and this requires long-term unremitting training, to be able to find a good horse is also very important, if you can find a psychic BMW is even more difficult to find, so how many heroes do not hesitate to spend a lot of money to ask for good horses, Even the love of horses as if life, in the past Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in order to obtain the sweat and blood of Dawan, he did not hesitate to start a war, hehe, said a little too much, in short, although this most basic point is basic, but it is extremely important, the king must remember. ”
Cheng Biting Jin said a lot of long-winded words, but Li Xian did not have the slightest boredom, but deeply agreed. Because he knows that what Cheng Yanjin said is definitely not nonsense, the pursuit of a good horse is definitely the unremitting pursuit of many historical generals, and how many historical generals have an inseparable connection with Ming horses, such as Xiang Yu's black horse, Cao Cao's claw Huang Feidian, Lu Bu and Guan Yu's red rabbit horse, Tang Taizong's Zhaoling Six Horses, etc., and the skill of horse control is the unremitting pursuit of the Chinese people and the surrounding nomadic soldiers for thousands of years.
"Hehe, what I said before was too verbose, and then Lao Cheng practiced the marksmanship of the Shixin brothers to the king in the past, although the old decay did not pass it on, but there are still seven or eight points of charm, and the king let it go, and the old decay is ugly."
After finishing speaking, Cheng Yanjin rode to the middle of the school field and practiced Luo Shixin's marksmanship one move at a time.
Li Xian saw that although this move was very familiar, but Cheng Biting Jin made it even more rough and powerful, although it was not as perfect as his own moves, but with the cooperation of the war horse, the strength and speed did have a greater improvement, and Li Xian could obviously feel that if the same person used the same move, Li Xian's moves were far inferior to Cheng Biting Jin's moves in terms of lethality, and even a few moves were far from being too different.
"Alas, this is the real marksmanship, I have practiced it in the past few years, and I am really wrong." Seeing the set of marksmanship practiced by Cheng Yanjin, Li Xian was completely convinced, convinced, and couldn't help but glance at Zhang Wuchen on the side, and saw that Zhang Wuchen's eyes were also excited and obsessed, but Zhang Wuchen did not look at him, but stared at Cheng Yanjin for a moment, carefully watching every move of the other party, because for him who has been immersed in this set of marksmanship for more than ten years, Cheng Yanjin's marksmanship is like opening a new door for him, and through this portal, he can step into a new palace, this hall can make him a top master in horse warfare, and he is definitely not weaker than any famous general in the world!
"Seeing Wuchen so dedicated, it can also prove how amazing this set of guns is, well, he is so dedicated to watching, how can I fall behind? This time I must take a good look, and then learn the charm of this set of marksmanship, won't it be another brave and invincible Luo Shixin? ”
The more Li Xian looked at it, the more excited he became, and the more he watched, the more he became more and more engaged, but at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded not far in front of him: "Okay, really good marksmanship, I really didn't expect Uncle Cheng to teach King Zhou marksmanship here, and the little nephew Xue Ne was so polite." ”
