Chapter 387: The First Khitan Warrior
On the reeds, nearly 30,000 royal tent riders are training in hand-to-hand combat. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Liao State is not as docile as the training of the Dashun Forbidden Army, holding wooden knives and guns, and using strips of cloth to dip in flour, and stop at the point.
The training of the royal tent has always been done with real swords and guns. If anyone is unlucky, injured by a knife or gun, or even killed by mistake, he is also not good at learning and resenting others. The royal tent horsemen who were trained in this way are known for their fierceness, tyranny, bravery, and good fighting. The name of Tiefutu resounded in Dashun. Every time they heard the name of Tiefutu, the Dashun border army would tremble, and they could hardly hold the weapons in their hands. There is no way, in the face of such a fully armored Iron Floating Tu, and even the horses are covered in vests, charging at you at a very fast speed, it is a person who will be terrified. It was like a nightmare.
It is precisely because they are armed to the teeth that no matter how strong the enemy they face, even if they know that they will die, people and horses are extremely fierce and never flinch, and they have a strong desire to fight, just like a killing machine, they will keep killing until the enemy falls!
In fact, the Khitans were equipped with heavy armored cavalry, which they also learned from the Central Plains. The previous dynasty was able to occupy the world for 400 years, all by relying on the invincible heavy armored cavalry and the Flame Army that dominated the world. As its name suggests, flames everywhere it goes. The prestige of killing with blood and fire is powerful all over the world. The Khitan people felt the prestige of this cavalry, gathered the warriors of the entire Khitan tribe, and spent a lot of fine iron to create this heavy armored cavalry - the royal tent personal horse. It is also true that the royal tent has repeatedly performed miraculous feats and saved the Khitan royal family from danger many times.
Even in the official history, the Khitans only learned from the Li Tang Dynasty, which did not exist in this time and space, and the Xuanjia Army of the famous Tang Taizong Li Shimin and founded the Imperial Tent Cavalry. Although time and space are different, history has turned a corner, but many things are strikingly similar to the official history according to the law of development.
In fact, the nomadic people borrowed from the civilization of the farming people, and the farming people did not learn from the civilization of the nomads. No civilization can exist on its own apart from the nations of the world. Separated from the forest of the world's nations, they either perished or survived.
Even if the Khitan people are xenophobic, they are still learning from advanced civilizations. Take the two generals who are putting the two right ones on the reeds, how could the spears they hold in their hands not be borrowed from the Han people? Their spears have three-edged spear heads, shaped like three-edged pointed arrowheads, with holes in the lower part of the blade, convex ridges around the neck, and the barrel is a whole cylinder, made of mulberry wood.
Looking at the royal tent on the reeds, most of the weapons they used were very similar to similar weapons in the Central Plains. Among them, the sword and spear basically inherited the shape of the Han Dynasty, and the various shapes of the knife and the arrow are basically very similar to the similar utensils of Dashun. The upper echelons of the Liao State constantly absorbed the advanced weapons of the Central Plains that were suitable for the combat characteristics of their own army to arm their own army, so that the army's weapons and equipment were always in excellent condition, which was the material basis for the Khitan people to maintain strong combat effectiveness.
And Dashun also learned the art of riding and archery from the Khitans, but he was not so proficient. The Han and Khitan have actually been borrowing from each other, until Lu Chengqi appeared and "invented" rifles and artillery, which led Dashun to embark on a path of independent exploration.
It's just that the Hongxiang rifle did not shine in the Youzhou War because of the production problem. So now it is still the world of cold weapons, or the world of swords, guns and arrows, at least in the eyes of the Khitans.
On the reeds, two horsemen dressed in the armor of the general, witnessed by nearly 30,000 royal tent riders, wanted to stage a king-to-king drama.
I only heard the general who was on the large side of the body speak in Khitan language: "Xiao Feng, I know that you are recognized as the number one Khitan warrior. But you've been saddled with this name for 10 years. I, Xiao Yuanlan, believe that my martial arts are not inferior to you, and I am challenging you today. If I win, the title of the first warrior of the Khitan will belong to me Xiao Yuan! ”
Xiao Feng, who only listened to him, smiled lightly and said: "When I Xiao Feng was twenty years old, I also defeated Xiao Dingxu, the commander of our royal tent and horseman, and won the title of the first Khitan warrior. If you are able, take this name from me." ”
This is a rule passed down from generation to generation by the Khitan people, and as the first Khitan warrior, you must accept the challenge of the warriors in the clan at any time. The winner is the first warrior of the Khitan, and the loser must take the initiative to give up his name. It is precisely because of this martial atmosphere that the Khitan people were able to maintain their martial bravery.
How powerful is Xiao Dingxu, the coach of the royal tent, how can Xiao Yuanlan not know? Because Xiao Dingxu is his father, for the revenge of Yixue's father's defeat, Xiao Yuanlan secretly competed with Xiao Feng and constantly tempered his martial arts. When he thought that he could challenge Xiao Feng, he proposed a challenge at this time.
The training of the royal tent pro-cavalry on weekdays was very boring, even very bloody, but when I saw someone challenge the first Khitan warrior, I was excited. Consciously put them in a big circle and start watching.
Hearing Xiao Feng say this, Xiao Yuanlan was young and vigorous, and his heart was uncertain, so he rode over and stabbed with a gun.
There was no vanity under the fame, Xiao Feng did not ride his horse and gallop, but stopped in place, waiting for Xiao Yuanlan's attack. Xiao Yuanlan's spear was about to stab Xiao Feng, but Xiao Feng came first, swept in with one shot, and actually knocked Xiao Yuanlan's spear away from the previous trajectory.
Xiao Yuanlan only felt a shock from the tiger's mouth, and the spear almost flew out of his hand. Hurriedly tightened his grip on the spear, and at this moment, the two horses passed by, and the spear also swept over. I saw Xiao Feng suddenly leave the stirrup with one foot, hide in the belly of the horse, and dodge.
Xiao Yuanlan knew that the opportunity could not be lost, so he hurriedly reined in the horse, turned the horse's head, and wanted to attack from behind, but saw that Xiao Feng had already adjusted the horse's head, and it was still facing him. Xiao Yuanlan had his back to Xiao Feng before, and he didn't know how he turned the horse's head. I didn't have time to think about it, so I rode forward again, and it was another shot.
At this moment, Xiao Feng was not in a hurry, urged his mount, and ran towards Xiao Yuan. When the two horses approached, Xiao Feng's legs clamped, and the horse seemed to know Xiao Feng's intentions, and accelerated suddenly. In this way, Xiao Yuan was caught off guard when he boarded, and wanted to turn the spear to protect himself first. But before he could take precautions, he was picked up by Xiao Feng with a shot, and Xiao Yuanlan only felt that the spear he held in both hands had suffered a strong attack. The tiger's mouth of the left and right hands shook at the same time, and he said in his heart: "Oh no! ”
As soon as the thought turned, Xiao Feng picked up his spear, and then saw a strong arm suddenly appear in front of him, and in an instant, he grabbed his clothes, and the next moment his legs had left the stirrups, and his entire heavy body was lifted high in the air by Xiao Feng, unable to struggle.
