In the stable not far away, there was a small shabu shabu servant, who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, although he was young, but there was a rare look of perseverance between his eyebrows and eyes.

It was Feng Niu'er who had not been seen for months.

The other party works very hard and is very focused, and does not squint. It was now the end of summer, and the northern border was already quite cool, but Feng Niu'er was sweating profusely, and even his sweatshirt was soaked.

As soon as Zhao Ning was about to go over, a tiger-backed biao lieutenant beside Zhao Xin came up with a smile and hugged his fists to salute:

"General, I have long heard that you are a cultivation wizard that is rare in a hundred years, skilled in archery and horses, and has been admired for a long time. ”

He spoke very politely and his attitude was respectful, but the rebellious aura on his body could not be concealed. Thinking about his weekdays in the camp, he is also a very respected figure.

Zhao Ning glanced at the other generals, they were all beside this Biao lieutenant with a look of anticipation, and there was no shortage of people who showed their eyes that they were going to watch a good show.

Zhao Ning looked at Zhao Xin, who spread his hands, signaled that this matter had nothing to do with him, and introduced the captain and said: "This is Commander Huang, although it is only in the late stage of the Imperial Qi Realm, but the art of riding and archery is unmatched in the battalion. ”

Being in Jiangmen, Zhao Ning is also very familiar with the set in front of him, the new general has just arrived, and if he wants to quickly establish his authority, he has to give the unruly people in his subordinates to dismount, or be given dismount by the other party.

If the latter is the case, then it will be difficult for the Lord to mix in the future.

Zhao Ning, with the cultivation of the early stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, can command five thousand light cavalry as soon as he comes, but he must have the corresponding ability, otherwise he will not be convinced by the arrogant soldiers under his command.

Although Zhao Ning is the heir to the head of the Zhao family, the Zhao family's method of governing the army has never been to flaunt privileges and ignore the rules of the army. In that case, the Yanmen Army would not have much combat power.

Because of this, Zhao Xin did not reprimand or block Huang Kejie's behavior, but held a tacit attitude, and the other generals did not feel that Huang Kejie offended Zhao Ning.

"I finally came to the barracks, I also want to loosen my muscles, since Commander Huang's riding and archery skills are very clever, then you and I might as well have a discussion, how about it?" Zhao Ning said very generously.

For cavalry, there is no more important skill than riding and archery, and whether the bow horse is skilled or not is the basic criterion for judging whether a cavalry is qualified.

Huang Kejie was also overjoyed to see Zhao Ning giving himself face like this, he was very confident in his skills, and intended to show off in front of Zhao Ning and everyone, and immediately hugged his fists again: "It's better to be humble and respectful than to obey your fate!"

There was a captain who acted quickly, and immediately went to bring a war horse to Zhao Ning, Zhao Ning saw that the war horse was very good, so he didn't choose another one, and when Huang Kejie couldn't wait to turn over the horse, Zhao Ning let him start first.

A hundred steps away, several zhang high brackets were erected, and a copper coin was hung with a thin rope on each bracket, and the copper coin shook slightly in the north wind.

Since it is a cultivator's competition in riding and archery, the difficulty is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary armorers, and using arrows to target grass men and the like is too low-level.

At this time, many soldiers had gathered near and far at the shooting range, and those soldiers who were training had stopped, and under the organization of their respective captains, they lined up in formation, and waited with great interest to watch the two fight.

The new commander competes with the best cavalry in the battalion, and it is worth observing and learning.

Huang Kejie straddled the war horse and circled in front of the crowd for half a circle, and as he came to the starting point, he raised the iron tire bow in his hand, and several small phalanxes of thousands of soldiers immediately broke out into a neat shout:

"Wind!"

"Wind!"

"Wind!"

The momentum is extraordinary, and the man is as proud as a flame, as if he wants to burn on the spot.

Huang Kejie obviously enjoyed this feeling of being in the limelight, laughed three times, and suddenly clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and the war horse rushed out like a sharp arrow from the string, and when he reached the front of the shelf, his speed also increased.

Stepping on the stirrups with both feet, leaving the reins with both hands, slightly sideways upper body, lightning pulled out a four-edged iron arrow, pulled the iron tire bow, aimed at the slightly shaky copper coin, let go of the fingers, the iron arrow suddenly flew out, swept a hundred steps away in an instant, and hit the first copper coin!

The whole action is done in one go, like flowing water, full of powerful beauty, which makes people feel shocked and pleasing to the eye.

If it was seven times, when Huang Kejie rushed out of the front of the last support, the seven copper coins disappeared one after another.

"Good!" Zhao Xin took the lead in cheering with a look of appreciation on his face.

The generals and colonels and the soldiers on the sidelines also applauded loudly.

Such an archery technique is indeed worthy of the attention of all people.

Huang Kejie was very satisfied with his results, got off the horse, threw the iron-tire bow directly to his subordinates, didn't look at it, walked quickly in front of Zhao Ning, hugged his fists and said: "It's ugly, general, please!"

He looked so urgent, as if he couldn't wait to see Zhao Ning make a fool of himself, if he was in the civil officialdom, he would inevitably be considered too arrogant and aggressive, and if he couldn't say it, he would be hated by the officials.

But this is in the barracks, so in the eyes of everyone, Huang Kejie is straightforward and anxious, and there is nothing too wrong.

With Huang Kejie's fist-hugging action, everyone's eyes fell on Zhao Ning.

They were all waiting for Zhao Ning to make a move.

Or don't make a move.

In the eyes of the soldiers, there is a possibility that Zhao Ning will not make a move, and it is not small.

Although Huang Kejie's cultivation is not very high, he has already passed the age of establishment, and he has been in the military camp for a long time, practicing hard every day, coupled with his good understanding, which has honed such outstanding skills.

What about Zhao Ning?

Even if Zhao Ning is worthy of the Zhao family's reputation as a once-in-a-century cultivation wizard, he is not more than seventeen years old after all.

He didn't have much time to make himself proficient.

Being able to reach the early stage of the Yuan Shen Realm so early, it is conceivable that most of Zhao Ning's time was spent on cultivation.

If Zhao Ning's riding and archery skills are too far behind Huang Kejie, then in order to avoid losing face, he can only choose to praise Huang Kejie and not make a move.

Although this will damage the authority of the lord, it is better than making a fool of himself in public.

Zhao Xin, as Zhao Ning's cousin, is only expecting at the moment that Zhao Ning, the first place in the autumn hunt, has prepared in advance for the current hurdle, even if his skills are not as good as Huang Kejie, it must not be too bad.

Or use your own cultivation in the early stage of the Yuan Shen Realm to make up for the lack of archery: for example, instead of an ordinary iron tire bow, use a rune bow instead, so that even if you can't shoot the copper coin, you can use the power of the Yuan Shen to shatter the copper coin.

Zhao Ning did not leave immediately.

just glanced at Huang Kejie lightly.

Just when the soldiers thought that Zhao Ning was indeed inferior to others and didn't plan to get on the horse, they heard Zhao Ning say coldly:

"Du Yuhou said that Commander Huang's salvo technique is already the best in this battalion, but in the eyes of this general, it is useless!

"I want to ask, is the cavalry and archery level of the soldiers of the Ma Army's B battalion really worse than this?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone changed, some were surprised, some were stunned, and some were at a loss.

Some people think that Zhao Ning is bluffing and indiscriminately scolding Huang Kejie, just to divert everyone's attention and save him from playing.

No matter what the soldiers thought, Zhao Ning didn't understand their mood, turned over and got on the horse, looking down at the red-faced Huang Kejie and the captains:

"If this is the case, then you don't train seriously on weekdays, and in the eyes of the generals, don't say that you can't get along with the elite, and you are all praised for saying that you are a local chicken and a dog!"

When these words came out, everyone's faces became extremely ugly, and the ordinary soldiers all felt humiliated, all of them had fire in their eyes, and the captains gritted their teeth, eager to see why Zhao Ning could say this.

Even Zhao Xin felt that Zhao Ning's gesture was too much. Whether the B battalion has serious training or not, he knows very well.

Zhao Ning ignored everyone's reactions, his face was cold, and he stretched out his hand to the side, "Bow and arrow!"

The two iron-faced soldiers respectively threw the iron bow and quiver in their hands to Zhao Ning.

After Zhao Ning took it, he put the quiver away, held the bow in one hand, clamped the horse's belly with both legs, and rushed to the front of the bracket.

The soldiers who were unconvinced, and even resentful, all widened their eyes, wanting to see what Zhao Ning was capable of, and he could say things like that just now, and have the confidence to humiliate them like this.

Then they understood why Zhao Ning had just made such a statement.

Directly in front of the first bracket, Zhao Ning grabbed it with his backhand, and sandwiched two four-edged iron arrows between his fingers.

The crowd saw only two arrows, one in front of the other, and flew out.

The arrow in front of him did not hit the copper coin.

The shot was a copper coin hanging, as thin as a hair's thread!

When the copper coin falls, the second arrow hits the square hole of the copper coin!

The soldiers whose eyes widened were all stiff.

They saw Zhao Ning's war horse, as fast as the wind, and rushed through the seven supports in the blink of an eye, and it took only half the time of Huang Kejie!

Fourteen arrows were issued, and the thin sound of seven copper coins tied to them broke silently, and all seven copper coins were shot through square holes!

When Zhao Ning reined in the reins of the horse, there was silence in the field, and the soldiers who witnessed this scene were either stunned or even forgot to be stunned.

It is well known that the faster the horse, the more difficult it is to mount and shoot accurately, and the difficulty increases exponentially. But Zhao Ning was not only fast, but also shot seven copper coins in this way!

Such a level of cavalry and archery, looking at the entire Yanmen Army, is unique!

Even Zhao Beiwang didn't dare to say that he would definitely be able to do better than Zhao Ning.

Zhao Ning did not dismount, but rode his horse slowly, passing in front of a group of soldiers, his sword-like gaze scanning the faces of the unruly cavalrymen.

Touching his eyes, Ruishi, who was no longer convinced and resentful just now, couldn't help but lower his head, not daring to look at Zhao Ning.

Zhao Ning's voice was still cold:

"If your riding and archery skills are much worse than that of Commander Huang, then when you meet the Northern Hu Jing Cavalry, you will not have a chance to shoot a second arrow.

"When the opponent shoots the first arrow, you are already dead!

"Yanmen Guan Chengping has been in Chengping for too long, look at you one by one, what kind of slack has become! What is Yelang's arrogance? It's you!

"Now, answer the general, once the war with Beihu breaks out, what will you do to fight the other side?

No one answered.

Under Zhao Ning's gaze, no one knew how to answer.

Zhao Ning yelled: "Go and continue training now, immediately, immediately!"

"Yes, General!"

"Yes, General!"

"Humble command!"

The captains in front of the phalanx, as if they had been pardoned, bowed down one after another to receive the order, and when they turned to face their own parts, their eyes were red, their faces were distorted, and they looked like they were eager to eat their own parts.

The quiet school field suddenly became full of people.

Amid the roaring orders of the lieutenants, a team of officers and soldiers returned to their training positions. When they started training again, they were all working harder than before, and they even tried to feed.

Whoever retains the strength to feed will be whipped by the captain.

When Zhao Ning returned to Zhao Ning and the others, several senior generals in the battalion lowered their heads in shame, Huang Kejie's face was pale, and he was like a frosted eggplant, and he didn't dare to look at Zhao Ning again.

"The general's skills are really brilliant, I can't wait for the dust......" Zhao Xin still said a word.

Zhao Ning didn't say anything more, and walked straight to the big tent with a cold face.

The generals and colonels who were already convinced by Zhao Ning were careful to keep up.

Zhao Ning's riding and archery skills, which were honed in the ten years of national warfare in his previous life, experienced many vicious battles of life and death, where can these captains in the Taiping military camp sit in the well and watch the sky?

What he just said was not exactly Liwei, what he said was not far from the truth.

The Tianyuan tribe has been fighting for more than ten years, otherwise it would not have grown from a small tribe to a large tribe with its own royal court. Their warriors have been battle-hardened, and they are truly elite.

Whether it is the B Battalion of the Ma Army or the Yanmen Army, they need to train hard.

In the stable, Feng Niu'er, who was washing the buttocks of the war horse, saw Zhao Ning's heroic posture when he showed his riding and archery skills from a distance, and was deeply shocked.

When the soldiers resumed training, his clear eyes were already full of fighting spirit, his fists were clenched and clenched, and he secretly swore in his heart that one day, he would also have martial arts like Zhao Ning!

Feng Niu'er, who was full of strength, lowered his head and continued to shake the horse, the strength in his hand was much greater than before, and he pulled it down fiercely.

This immediately hurt the war horse, the war horse first raised its head and neighed, and then kicked out its hind legs in annoyance, and Feng Niu'er, who was boiling with blood, was suddenly kicked on all fours and fell into the stable.

......

At dusk, Zhao Ning left the barracks and returned to the General's Mansion.

Zhao Beiwang and Zhao Xun were no longer drinking, but sitting in the hall drinking tea together.

Seeing Zhao Ning enter the door to greet him, Zhao Beiwang first blushed and coughed, and then remembered the matter, so he said to Zhao Ning:

"Your Majesty has an order, let us dispatch elite patrols to the grassland, show off our power in various tribes, and deter the wolf ambitions of Beihu. Tomorrow, you will take a thousand light horsemen out of the customs. ”
