Chapter 111: Show Your Skills
After listening to Lan Jing'an's words, everyone in the cavalry battalion seemed to see hope, and every soldier shouted as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, "The cadres will win!" ”
After Lan Jing'an and the others in the cavalry battalion had passed this round of excitement, they announced the start of the second subject competition. The number of applicants for the second subject was also quite large, and more than 100 soldiers from the two battalions chose to give it a try. Lan Jingan had no choice but to divide into two teams to compete.
Lan Jing'an knew that the soldiers of the tun cavalry might be better at wielding their guns immediately, while the soldiers of the Yue cavalry were accustomed to galloping horses. She was curious to see if the winner would be Tun or Yue.
As a result, the winning combination of the two pairs was one from Tunqi and one from Yueqi. It made Lan Jing'an impressed, it seems that he was right that he didn't limit the combination before. This shows that the two battalions of cavalry have a good relationship on weekdays, so some smart people find the soldiers of the next battalion and fight together for victory.
Lan Jing'an also ordered these two groups to play a single game according to the first subject. As a result, the group that captured the flag was picked at the last minute and disqualified, much to the chagrin of the two. And the two who won were not ecstatic, but went to comfort the two who lost. This made Lan Jing'an very curious.
Lan Jing'an asked the four of them for clarification. It turns out that the four of them are fellow villagers and have played since childhood, so they have a good relationship. Even though the four of them belonged to two battalions, they still cooperated tacitly and did not decide whether they won or lost. Lan Jing was relieved, and in addition to rewarding the group that won the victory as promised, he also left four people to join his own close guard.
Lan Jing'an asked the four of them to tell the two battalions aloud about their situation. Then he solemnly said to the two battalions: "The cadres and troops in the world are one family, and the reason why we have come to this point is all because of unity." ”
"No matter which battalion you belong to, where you are stationed, and which general you are commanding, remember that on the battlefield, we fight the enemy together, regardless of you and me. As long as we trust each other, we will be able to defeat Dayong and protect Xiangyang! ”
The two battalions below looked at each other, remembered their friendship on weekdays, and raised their arms together and shouted: "Defeat Dayong and protect Xiangyang!" ”
When everyone calmed down, they finally reached the third subject, which was the most difficult. The number of people who dared to compete in this subject was much smaller, only a few less than ten, and all of them were from Yueqi.
Lan Jing'an had already asked Bi Luan to go back to the General's Mansion to get the bow, and she wanted to personally compete with the Yue Cavalry people. As soon as the news came out that the chief secretary was going to end the battle in person, not only did the soldiers of the two battalions gather, but even the other three battalions also sent many soldiers to watch the battle after obtaining Lan Jing'an's consent.
Pang Tu didn't know Lan Jing'an's details, and he was very worried about her. What Lan Jing'an did this morning made him no longer have the heart to gloat. Instead, he reciprocated and reminded Lan Jing'an that it was best not to end up. After all, if she loses ugly, it will affect the excellent image she has just established among the soldiers today.
After a day's patrol of the camp, the other generals were also convinced by this great priest's order, and they all hoped that she could sit firmly in the command position, so everyone persuaded her not to end.
Lan Jing'an smiled gently, but chose to try it himself. In Xiangyang, no one knows her strength except Biluan. When she was in Baiyu City, she couldn't do it next to her, but this one rode and shot alone in the entire northwest camp. Although she refused to hurt people's lives at the time, her ability to shoot was absolutely unmatched.
She doesn't look as powerful as a man, but because she has practiced since she was a child, she can draw a stone bow like her. In addition, she has been running horses in the northwest since she was a child, and when she returned to Yonghua City, she had Bai Qingchen to accompany her in horse racing, so her riding skills have always been excellent.
And since Bai Qingfeng brought her the bow that the Marquis of Dingyuan gave her, she had to practice every day for a while. With that rare strong bow, she is very confident in herself. Lan Jing'an didn't change his clothes, and left the game wearing his armor.
The crowd looked at her and couldn't help but be amazed. There are more than ten catties in iron armor, and the other soldiers have taken off their armor in order to run faster, and they are on the horse with a short fight. Only the chief priest was neatly dressed and showed the momentum of going to the battlefield. Regardless of how she rides and shoots, at least she looks admirable.
The starting point was already full of people, and there were people standing far away along the way, and there were many people waiting for the finish line.
Lan Jing'an asked the soldiers of Yue Cai to bring an ordinary military horse over, she was highly self-sustaining, and she had a strong bow in her hand, so she didn't need to attract attention on the horse. She didn't get on the horse immediately, but circled around the tall red horse for a while, and then leaned in front of the horse's head and stared at the horse's eyes gently.
This is a habit she left behind after she frightened the horse in Yonghua City two years ago, and she has to inspect the horse in her own way before she is willing to get on the horse every time she gets on it. She believed that horses were the most human, so before she got on the horse, in addition to staring at the horse's eyes, she also used to side the horse's head and say a few words to the horse's ear.
No one had ever seen such a treatment of horses, and many people began to whisper. Lan Jing'an didn't care what others thought, after doing a set of actions that he often did, he turned over and got on his horse like a smooth stream, put a quiver on his back, held a bow in his left hand, and pulled the reins in his right hand, ready to go.
The arrows used by the participants were the same, but different colored strings were tied to the ends of the arrows to show the difference. In this subject, there are Ming Dysprosium targets and copper coin targets, so one person completes it and then the other person plays the field. Lan Jing'an deliberately waited for all the soldiers in Yue to finish the competition, and then he hit the horse to the starting point.
Before her, the best one's record was only five grass targets and three Ming Di targets, but she came back a little later than the stipulated time and was deducted one target, so it was seven targets. None of the contestants could hit the copper coin target.
Lan Jing Anlema stood at the starting point, unlike the soldiers who had fallen before, she only carried eleven arrows on her back, and each time she missed, it meant that there was no chance of recovery.
It was Pang Tu who was in charge of issuing the number, and all the generals were staring at the missing moment together. The horse farm that used to be noisy is now all quietly waiting to watch the big priest's horse shooting. Thousands of pairs of eyes were focused on Lan Jing'an alone. When Pang Tu pointed at the floating arrow at the right moment, he shouted: "Okay! ”
Lan Jing'an immediately galloped out. She drew arrows as she went, passing through the grass targets, without slowing down at all, only holding the horse's belly between her legs, drawing a round bow with her right hand, and letting go of it was an arrow. She didn't even look at how well she was shooting, and immediately drew a second arrow and shot it at the next grass target.
Lan Jing'an's movements are agile and powerful, and she does it in one go, so that people don't feel that she is shooting arrows on horseback. The grass target has passed, and it has reached the area of the Ming Di target. She shot her bow and got ready. But he didn't look around, he relied on listening to the sound to defend his position, and when he heard the sound of the hammer, he shot when he returned his hand, and every shot must be hit.
When everyone saw the great priest galloping all the way and raising his hand to shoot arrows all the way, they were all shocked. In particular, the direction of Ming Di is unpredictable, and the big priest still hits the arrow without slowing down.
One of them shot a little low, and she actually grabbed the horse's belly with only her legs, leaned sideways, and shot down the Ming Di with her backhand. Such superb archery and riding skills were never seen by everyone, and they were stunned for a while.
Lan Jing'an reached the finish line, squinting his eyes while beating his horse and spinning, and shot the last arrow in his hand. Hearing a loud bang, the copper coin fell to the ground, and the crowd at the end broke out into cheers.
