Chapter 158: Cavalry Battle (1)

At the end of a few days of fighting, although Zhao Shi had nothing physically, but this spirit was a little tired, back to the palace's residence, left and right, and felt a little hungry, simply do it himself, stewed a pot full of beef out, he was used to living alone in his previous life, and he was naturally proficient in cooking, Daqin is located in the northwest, people generally like sour food, but he likes to eat salty things, and he has long felt that the taste is not right.

Xihong dissuaded again and again on the side, and naturally what he said in his mouth was the gentleman's distant cooking, anyway, there was only one meaning, the big husband was ambitious in all directions, and doing these things was a small ambition, but it was all nonsense in Zhao Shi's ears, so it was naturally regarded as the wind in his ears, and it was just a matter of blowing.

However, the seasonings of this era made him a little confused, he recognized the onions, ginger and garlic, the salt was also fine, and the condiments such as pepper could be distinguished, as for the other various shades of materials, he didn't know anything, such as mustard, small grains, spicy taste, it was mainly used to replace peppers in this era, and it was used in autumn, but unfortunately Zhao Shi didn't know it at all, and there were such as scallion, knotweed, yanghuo, perilla, etc., but dogwood he recognized, which was also thanks to the wilderness survival training in his previous life, of course, which is used as a seasoning is the fruit of dogwood, which also has a spicy taste.

However, under the diligent guidance of the two cooks, this pot of beef was finally made by him, and the taste was unsatisfactory, mainly because there was no chili, and he didn't know how much to put in some things, but because of the addition of scallion, a pot of beef soup was very delicious, but because the beef was all natural, non-polluting and fine-quality meat, even these condiments were naturally grown, and the taste was naturally not much worse. The aroma is intense and appetizing.

This is also in the palace, if it is an ordinary family, no, even those medium-sized Kangtai families do not have so many things for him to squander.

Li Quanshou has been following him for the past few days, and he came over after dinner, just in time for the beef stew to come out of the pot, he was born in the prince's house. What good things haven't been tasted? However, there are more people here, and Zhao Shi doesn't have so many rules, and it is natural to eat at the same table with a few maids, so Li Quanshou, who has not eaten well, also has a big index finger, and eats a belly round here, although the Wu eunuch is a little restrained, but he also eats with a smile. couldn't stop throwing out those flattering words, and the few people next to him couldn't stop laughing.

Li Quanshou had almost eaten at this time, and while slowly chewing the tendons in his mouth with a satisfied face, he looked at Zhao Shi with a smile and said a little mysteriously: "Old Zhao." If you can get a champion back, I have a generous gift waiting here, but if you get a warrior, the gift will be halved. ”

Zhao Shi glanced at him. "Isn't it another gadget?"

Li Quanshou frowned, children always learn from adults when they frown, he frowned the same way as Zhao Shi, his face was stiff, his brows were slightly frowned, Zhao Shi made this kind of expression is quite natural, but he looks like a child, people can't help but feel pretended.

"What, this gift I asked for from my father......" he said suddenly. The little face immediately became sneering, but he still continued: "This gift is not a gadget, you will know it when you get Wu Zhuangyuan, and you will be very satisfied with it." ”

Speaking of this, he also thought of a surprise for Zhao Shi, that is, the conversation changed, and he said mysteriously: "Do you know what my father is busy with now?" ”

Seeing Zhao Shi shaking his head, he said a little proudly: "I heard that there are people from Xixia." The envoy was a ...... What's it called? ”

In frustration, he slapped the head of Eunuch Wu, who was eating. This guy was holding a piece of beef in his mouth, and he was photographed out at once. A few women next to him saw it, smiling back and forth, Eunuch Wu glanced at Li Quanshou with great resentment, it is estimated that these actions are learned from the master here, it used to kick people's butts, but now it has been replaced by slapping people's heads, if it is not for the lack of strength, they will definitely grab other people's collars and pick them up, it is getting more and more difficult to serve.

Li Quanshou ignored his thoughts, patted his forehead and thought for a long time, before his eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "By the way, that guy is also surnamed Li, I can't remember the name, I heard that he is still a ...... of the Western Xia royal family."

Zhao Shi and the Tangut people have been in contact with the land, although these Tangut people have been almost sinicized, it is estimated that if the Xixia does not destroy the country, that is, it will be a matter of decades, it is estimated that it will be almost the same as the Han people, the party soldiers seen on the battle array at that time, in addition to the head also tied with some small braids, whether it is speaking, or the weapons used, the armor they wear is almost the same as that of Daqin, not to mention the appearance, they are all Asian, yellow skin, black hair, black eyes, and naturally the same as Daqin.

Later, when I checked the results of the battle, I found that there were many Han people, according to others, the Iron Harrier used to be a serious Qiang people, but now there are so many Han people, it can be seen that the Han and Hu mixed settlements have reached a certain level, and it is a matter of time before they integrate with each other.

Although the people from Western Xia had nothing to do with him, he still asked, "What are they coming to Daqin for?" ”

Li Quanshou shook his head, "I don't know...... But...... Listening to the mother concubine, the emperor of Western Xia seems to be dying of old age, and several princes are thinking about competing for the throne, but they have no ambitions, and they sent someone over to seek peace, so you should ask Qi Ziping and a few of them for details.

Uh, the Jin Kingdom is also here, I know what they are doing here, the father, the queen and the mother are very angry, they actually want to marry the princess of Daqin, hehe, they are here to ask for relatives, and I don't know who is unlucky, and will be selected to go to that barbarian state. ”

This kind of information can only be obtained by people like Li Quanshou, although the envoys of the Western Xia and Dajin have come to Chang'an, but the imperial court has not made a noise, the three kingdoms have been at war for a long time, and the envoys have long been extinct. However, this peace agreement was broken by the Xixia people as early as three years ago, and this time they have sent envoys, but the joints in this are not simple, as for the battle is with the above, Daqin has taken the initiative this time, but Wuju and many things have rushed together, and the court has not yet reacted accordingly to the peace conference, and even some officials below the fifth grade do not know that these envoys have arrived in Beijing.

Both Western Xia and Jin came to make peace? Zhao Shi understood it. Somehow, Da Qin has become a fragrant glutton, and the reason for this is naturally not so simple, but these national events are still far away from him, and he will not bother to guess anything that is not marginal, so he put it down after a little thought.

On the second day, the martial arts were carried out as usual, but this time it was the most exciting horse combat subject of the martial arts. Although the riding battle is wonderful, it is also the most dangerous in general, and it is not difficult to understand the danger contained in imagining being trampled by a galloping horse.

This time, most of the people were holding spears. The armor is even more complete, but it is very different from the duel of European knights, the classic knight duel everyone has seen on TV, with a riding gun in his hand. The two horses galloped across the road, and then it depends on whose eyesight or opportunity is good, in many cases, you poke me, I poke you, make a lose-lose situation, there is no blocking and other actions.

But the Han people's immediate duel is absolutely different, so take the pear flower spear as an example, although the pear blossom wood is hard. But in the hands of these generals, there are several spears, and while the opponent's blade is opened, the opponent can be picked off the horse with one shot.

These things with national characteristics will not be detailed here, Zhao Shi also knows that he is definitely inferior to most people here in terms of riding skills, unless he meets an infantry who has never ridden a horse in his life, otherwise he will definitely lose more and win less in a duel on a horse.

But there is always a way for the living, no, the weather is not good on this day. The autumn wind is blowing hard. The withered grass and trees on the hunting ground swirled around with the autumn wind, and Zhao Shi stood on the sidelines and stared at the two people on the field quietly. After a few days of fighting, there were many wounded, there were 1,098 lifters, but when they reached the level of cavalry battle, only 1,009 remained, and those 89 people were injured in different degrees of severity and severity, and felt that they had no hope of winning, so they no longer participated in this more dangerous cavalry battle.

On the field, the two of them urged the horses, the mounts went from slow to fast, the horses' hooves stepped on the grass, the soil flew, and the sound like a drum was moving, both of them controlled the horses with their legs, their eyes were firmly fixed on the opponent, and the spear in their hands was raised.

The two of them got closer and closer, almost at the same time raised the spear in their hands, between the two horses, lightning changed two moves, one of them shook his body, crooked, but still did not fall off the horse, Zhao Shi saw clearly, one of the spears has been accurately pointed on the other party's gun stem, remember that it is a shake of the hand, to the other party's shoulder, if it is not for the other party to dodge a little, not so much to stab, but by the tip of the opponent's gun, otherwise, only this shot, can stab people off the horse, In such eyes, such skills, between the two horses, even Zhao Shi thought that it was difficult to dodge.

After the two ran away for a while, Le turned the horse's head, and then fought again, which was slower than the previous step-down battle, but the victory or defeat was better judged, and then the two approached, and then shot, this time the man was not as lucky as last time, the other party shot him in the chest like a poisonous snake, the wooden spear bowed up the moment it stabbed the ground, and then pushed the man off the horse, and then the man screamed, and was dragged out of the horse before breaking free, but he was not injured.

At this time, it really shows the superiority of the children of the gate valve, after all, the horse is still a luxury in this era, just like a car in later generations, if it were not for Zhao Shi's experience in his previous life, and later got a lot of horses in Zhaojia Village, he estimated that he had not even seen what the real horse looked like.

For ordinary people in this era, it is even more impossible to buy a good horse at home, firstly, they can't afford to buy it, and they can't afford to raise it when they buy it, and secondly, the resource of horses is very strictly controlled by the army, so being able to have a horse to travel is definitely a status symbol in this era.

In this way, unless the people in the army have to be cavalry, the others will count these gate lords as the most proficient in horsemanship.

Hearing his name shouted on the field, Zhao Shi did not hesitate, immediately stepped forward to draw the number, then changed into protective gear, turned over and got on the horse, now he is already a celebrity in these moves, unlike the imperial examination, I don't know who can be on the list until the end, there are many people watching the competition, this young man has been fighting one by one, and has entered the top two in foot combat, such a person can't be noticed, they all already know that this person is the head of the Jingwang Mansion guard, although the roots of this young man are not very clear, But some people have already thought of his name as the Gongyi Tiger, but looking at his age, he has only heard rumors, and even the Gongyi Tiger who doesn't know the name of the Tiger has already regarded it as the man's nephew, so the name of the Tiger Cub has spread far and wide, as soon as he entered the field, someone has already shouted out, the Tiger Cub is on the field, and the scene is becoming more and more enthusiastic, but most people are still glad in their hearts, they have not met this person, and they may be able to go further in the martial arts.

The waist pole was slightly bent, and he swung a few times with the gun in his hand, and took the horse for a jog, thinking that it was quite convenient, but it was a little awkward, and he wanted to change to a wooden knife in the style of a horizontal knife, but he also knew the truth that an inch long and an inch strong, and from previous observations, these people could make at least two moves in the gallop, and if they used a horizontal knife, it was really dangerous, so they gave up.

The two of them are separated by more than 100 meters, and they can't push the horse to the maximum speed, which is also for the sake of the safety of the people, and the person on the opposite side is also a gun, Zhao Shi is slightly sure in his heart, if the opponent is a long-handled machete, or that kind of long-handled battle axe, it will be much more difficult to deal with......
