Chapter 12 Yanyun Eighteen Rides

South Battalion, 2nd Battalion, Shooting Range.

A sharp sound of feathered arrows breaking through the air was heard, and after a while, a hearty laugh came out.

"Hahaha, Brother Zuo, this archery progress is beyond the reach of a certain family!" Yan Zhong laughed.

Zuo Houde was not embarrassed, "Sixth Brother Yan, I usually don't come to this shooting range very often, so naturally I don't make fast progress." ”

Zuo Houde said the truth, Yan Zhong not only has no talent for archery, but also does not like to practice archery, this shooting range Zuo Houde comes every day, but Yan Zhong only comes once every three or five times, and most of them are still forced by his general.

Saying this, Yan Zhong was embarrassed, "This archery is not suitable for a certain family, I think the captain still wants to teach a certain family a scimitar, but how can that thing be used with this axe." ”

Speaking of the scimitar, Yan Zhong was interested, "The scimitar of my captain's hand, but Yan Yun is the best in the ride, back then the ten elders of Yan said that my family's adults, feather arrows, and scimitars are not inferior to eighteen horses." ”

When Zuo Houde heard this, he was also very interested, "But Yanyun Eighteen Riders?"

This Yanyun Eighteen Riders are famous, prestigious, and even more notorious. The legend in Youzhou City is that the fierce gods are evil, and the children stop crying, ordinary characters.

"Naturally, although it is said that most of the eighteen adults of that year have been disarmed and returned to the field, there are still a few adults in Yanyun Riding who are teaching leaders and guiding us young juniors." Yan Zhong looked honorable.

Zuo Houde was a little surprised, could it be that this big man was still born in Yan Yunqi, "The sixth brother is from Yan Yunqi?" ”

"How can Yan Yun use an axe to ride, I am naturally not, but my school captain is." Yan Zhong said crisply.

Silver spears, scimitars, and feather arrows, just when you mention them, you may think of the silver spear of the King of Yan, the scimitar of the Tartars, and the Mongol condor archers. But if these three things are matched, a famous army will be remembered - Yan Yunqi.

Yanyun cavalry can be traced back to forty years ago, the earliest batch of Yanyun cavalry, it is said that it was personally trained by King Yan, a total of 300 people, in the process of King Yan recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun made great military achievements, of course, it was tragic enough, and later only 18 of the 300 people remained.

In the end, these eighteen people each took Yan as their surname, and they were named according to the ranking, and the ten elders of Yan Zhong that Yan Zhong said before were the tenth of these eighteen people. Of course, these people also faded out of the army as Yan Zhong said, after all, most of these people are the same age as King Yan, fifty or sixty years old.

They were all armed with silver spears, dressed in winter clothes, with masks on their faces, black scarves on their heads, only their eyes exposed, long black cloaks on their outer bodies, and their feet were equipped with bearded horse boots, which were equipped with daggers, and they all carried large bows, each carrying eighteen arrows, and all of them were equipped with full moon scimitars.

They are usually active in the grasslands, elusive, and all wearing masks, no one has ever seen their true faces, and every time they appear, they will bring a terrible massacre to the Beidi tribes.

This is the image of Yanyun's eighteen horsemen in the Youzhou City songbook, which is not false at all, this Yanyun rode across the grassland back then, bringing countless killings and bloodshed. Each of them was slaughtered by thousands of people.

When he was young, King Yan was a reincarnated figure in vain, and in the process of recovering Yan Yun, it was normal to slaughter women, children, and the elderly, of course, most of this was carried out by Yan Yun Qi.

In order to beautify King Yan over the years, most of these brutal images have been thrown on Yan Yun's eighteen horsemen, and of course they have not wronged them, after all, they really did it.

Of course, now there is also a Yanyun cavalry in the Youzhou army, a total of 3,000 people, which is a strong army built by the champion Hou himself, and it is also dressed in winter clothes like the older generation of Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry, with a mask on his face, a black scarf on his head, only his eyes are exposed, and his body is also covered with a long black cloak, and their standard equipment is silver spears, scimitars, and feather arrows.

Champion Hou's Yanyun rode in the grassland, setting off bloody cases from time to time. Of course, the most famous thing is that seven years ago, this Yan Yunqi, on the day of King Yan's reign, slaughtered a small tribe, there were many men, women and children, and a clan was about to die completely. Build a view of Beijing, for the king of Yan.

Zuo Houde didn't expect that the captain of his battalion was actually from Yan Yunqi, so he had to laugh. The captain of his battalion, Zuo Houde doesn't know his name, he only knows his surname Luo, and the people in this battalion are all called General Luo or Captain Luo, and he never smiles on his face, and the scimitar in his waist never leaves his hand.

……

After practicing today's 100 arrows, Zuo Houde is also gasping for a few breaths, Zuo Houde is now in the hall of archery, although he is still practicing the target of fifty steps, but in order to improve himself, Zuo Houde has raised the speed of archery to the fastest.

More than ten feather arrows in a quiver are often shot out in a dozen breaths, with an average of one arrow per breath.

Yan Zhong was greatly surprised when he saw Zuo Houde's amazing arm strength, and couldn't help asking, "What kind of weapon can Brother Zuo make?" ”

Zuo Houde took a breath before saying, "I haven't learned anything else, but there is a family heirloom swordsmanship." ”

"Swordsmanship, I thought that Brother Zuo's arm strength was mostly with Changge and halberd." Yan Zhong looked regretful.

"But it just so happens that a certain family is good at making two short axes, and tomorrow the two of us can compare and compare." Yan Zhong said excitedly.

This man is thick and fine, and he knows that Zuo Houde is practicing arrows today, and his strength may not be enough, so the better tomorrow will be.

As soon as he heard this, Zuo Houde was also quite moved, Zuo Houde got up every day when he smelled the chicken, practiced swords for half an hour, and it has been 14 years since he was four years old.

But he has never been compared with others, and now Zuo Houde doesn't know how far his swordsmanship has come.

At the thought of competing with others, Zuo Houde couldn't help but be excited, but he was still patient, "Okay, I will compete with the sixth brother tomorrow." ”

The General's Tent.

"Oh! You're going to compete with that Lang Zhong? A young man asked.

"General, don't you know, that brother, how amazing the arm strength is, Lao Yan is also considered to be an extraordinary arm strength, but it is not as good as others, it is said that his swordsmanship is a family tradition, I think it is not bad, tomorrow maybe he can compare with me." Yan Zhong said confidently.

This young man was the captain of Zuo Houde's battalion, surnamed Luo Minglie, eight feet long, and good at wielding a silver spear.

Luo Lie knew that his subordinates' arm strength was amazing, and they were much stronger than himself, if it weren't for the axe not being smooth enough, he might not be able to take it, but he was interested in hearing Yan Zhong say this.

"Tomorrow, you ask him to compare in the martial arts arena, I want to see what you said about your amazing arm strength." Luo Lie said lightly
