The cavalry here, the two battalions of the Yue cavalry and the tun cavalry are connected, the war horses neigh, and the field is the largest. Lan Jing'an arrived in the afternoon and watched as everyone was training on horseback. Captain Sun Wei of the Yue Cavalry is taking 200 Yue Cavalry men to scout along the banks of the Han River under the cover of the sailor under the cover of Lan Jing'an's order, so now the two battalions are temporarily under the command of the captain of the Tun Cavalry.

Lan Jing'an saw that the riding skills and training methods of the two battalions were really the same as those of the Northwest Army, and he was immediately relieved. After all, it was brought out by Brother Qingyun himself, and she had no doubts about the level of the two battalions. Although such cavalry is not as good as the deadly iron cavalry, it is estimated that when fighting, it can basically achieve one top two, or even one top cavalry of the other side.

Lan Jing'an smiled and chatted with Captain Tuncai about his life in the Northwest Army. Then he suddenly rose up and expressed his willingness to set up another competition to see the strength of everyone.

The people on the cavalry side had already heard about the contest that the Great Division had set up in the infantry camp in the morning, and now they heard that the Great Division was also going to set up a competition here in the cavalry, and they were not surprised at all, but they were all gearing up, hoping to show their faces in front of the Great Division, and it would be better if they could also be promoted to the next level.

Lan Jing'an really gave the same reward conditions as the infantry battalion, in addition, she also planned to select the best few people to form a personal guard team and stay by her side, but she didn't say this in public, and only waited for the competition to be over and then surprise the winners.

The method of competition she set up here in the cavalry was not quite the same as that in the infantry. She was divided into three subjects, one was to catch things on horseback, one was to grab flags in coordination, and the other was to ride and shoot on horses.

The first of the three subjects is a test of immediate flexibility. All the contestants had to ride horses in a demarcated circle to try to catch sandbags thrown in from all directions outside the circle and put them in the marching bags. Whoever receives the most sandbags within the allotted time wins.

It's a fun subject, but it's a test of flexibility, and it's about seeing and hearing all directions, and you can't just rely on your riding skills to win. The people selected in this way will also have a very high vigilance against the rapidly changing situation on the battlefield, and they are very suitable for being the close escort of the generals.

In the second subject, a flag is set up at the far end of the line, two people in groups, each riding and riding, one carrying a gun and one wearing a hat. Only two people who successfully reach the finish line are eligible to grab the flag, and only those who wear hats can capture the flag, and after capturing the flag, they have to go back through another lane.

The group that comes back first with the flag wins. If the hat-wearer drops his hat on the way, or is picked by the opposing rider with a gun, the two in the same group will go straight to the field.

This subject is more difficult than the first one, and it is not only a test of riding speed, but also a test of cooperative combat. Gun bearers are responsible for protecting their companions and picking on their opponents. The hat-wearer has to gallop quickly, grab the flag on the horse, and at the same time closely rely on his companions to complete the whole competition.

The third subject is the most difficult of the three, and it is basically set up separately by a Yue Qi. Lan Jing ordered people to set up five grass targets along the track. When he reached the position near the end of the line, he ordered someone to shoot five Ming Di as targets at random. And a hundred paces away from the finish line, she ordered someone to hang a copper coin there.

This course is very simple, within the allotted half an hour, the person who reaches the end and returns to the starting point and shoots the most targets wins. As for speed, if you come back earlier than the specified time, you will add a target; On the contrary, if it is exceeded, one target will be deducted.

As soon as this rule came out, even the soldiers of the Yue Cavalry inhaled straight, which was too difficult. From the start to the finish line and back again, it is difficult to complete the course in half a moment, even if you don't let go of a single arrow. What's more, there are grass targets and Ming Di targets, and the most ruthless ones are copper coin targets.

This is not good, I am afraid that if a target misses and loses time, it will be a shame and a big loss. Therefore, even the Yue Riders exchanged heads and ears for a while, and only a few soldiers who were skilled in riding and shooting on their own boldly asked to participate in the competition.

The first subject competition had the largest number of soldiers. Because of the limited number of sandbags, Lan Jing'an arranged four games before the competition was completed. Then let these four people get together and compete in a showdown. Of the four, three were from Yue Qi and one was from Tun Qi. Unexpectedly, in the end, it was this ordinary cavalry soldier who did not have any military rank on his body.

When he learned that he had won, he laughed loudly in the circle and couldn't stop. And the tunqi also celebrated loudly.

Tunqi has always been suppressed by Yueqi, they didn't expect that one day, their own people can also win the pride of the sky. The soldiers of the tuncai suddenly felt that they were not the ones who were chosen to remain, and that they also had the possibility of defeating the Yue cavalry.

The victorious cavalry warriors finally stopped, turned over and dismounted, and knelt down in front of Lan Jing'an. Lan Jing'an looked at this twenty-year-old cavalry sergeant, his eyes as keen as a falcon were a little moist now. She could understand the glory that this hard-won victory had brought him.

Lan Jing'an smiled and said to him, "Your name is Xue Wei, right?" Congratulations on your first win of the day. You have set a good example not only for yourself, but also for the thousands of soldiers you have ridden. As I promised, you deserve the reward you deserve. Besides, would you like to go into battle with me as my close bodyguard? ”

This person named Xue Wei was stunned, he didn't expect that Da Si Ming not only knew his name, made him famous for the entire cavalry battalion, but also gave him great opportunities and infinite trust. His tears were about to burst out of his eyes, and he kowtowed to Lan Jing'an excitedly, shouting over and over again: "Thank you, Da Si Ming!" I do! I do! ”

Xue Wei has been in the army for ten years, and he is still an ordinary soldier, and he has always thought that he will be like this for the rest of his life. I never thought that one day the Great Priest would give him a chance to understand that he was never worse than others, but he had not found his place before.

Xue Wei was grateful to Lan Jing'an for his kindness, and since then he has been devoted to Lan Jing'an and has become one of her most loyal guards. This is not to be mentioned later.

At this time, the soldiers of the tuncai also cheered, happy and proud that the tuncai could produce such a figure as Xue Wei. The Yue Cavalry was a little depressed, they didn't expect that they would be defeated at the hands of a Tun cavalry soldier who had never been looked down upon by the Yue Cavalry.

Lan Jing'an ordered someone to find the three people who lost to Xue Wei in the first subject. She looked at the three of them who were hanging their heads and encouraged: "You have defeated the others in the same field, and you are the winners." It's also admirable that you can maneuver in addition to mounted archery. ”

Lan Jing settled down and saw that the faces of the three of them had improved a little. Then he smiled and asked, "Although there is no reward, I still appreciate your ability, I wonder if the three of you are also willing to be my close guards and fight with me?" ”

The three Yue cavalry soldiers were overjoyed, but they didn't expect that the Great Commander did not regard them as losers, but trusted them so much. The three of them also knelt on the ground and excitedly expressed their willingness to follow the great priest's order for the rest of their lives.

Lan Jing'an quieted everyone in the cavalry, and then said in a loud voice: "There are long and short inches, everyone has their own position, as long as they find their own position, they will be a cadre talent." My place is to stand here, leading everyone to defend against foreign aggression. I hope you will also think about your place. As long as each of us can perform our own duties, the cadres will win! ”
