Two hundred paces away, the arrow pierced through the five armors.

The monarchs and soldiers on the school field were all shocked, and Li Qinzai was also shocked.

The Divine Arm Bow was created by him, and no one knows better than him how far it can shoot and how much lethality it can produce at what distance.

And Xue Rengui's arrow was obviously beyond the expectations of him, the creator.

While the audience cheered and cheered, Li Qinzai squinted at Xue Rengui in the center of the school field, especially the divine arm bow in Xue Rengui's hand.

After looking at it carefully, Li Qinzai finally came to his senses.

The Divine Arm Bow is improved on the basis of today's bows and arrows, and the Divine Arm Bow in Xue Rengui's hand has been improved, its bow arm is longer, and the bowstring is thicker, although I don't know what material is used in the bow arm, it is certain that it must be harder and tougher than the original Divine Arm Bow material.

In other words, this is a strengthened divine arm bow that Xue Rengui specially tailored for himself.

No wonder it can penetrate the five-fold armor and spare no strength.

However, this is a special case and cannot be replicated. After all, there are very few people in the world who can control this strengthened divine arm bow, and this strength, this quasi-head, is not something that ordinary generals can do.

This is the only Xue Rengui in the world.

On the command platform, Li Zhi was overjoyed, and praised excitedly: "General Xue is strong!" ”

The veterans next to him also laughed and approved.

After Taizong, the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty are gradually withering, the famous generals are all dying, and the only famous generals of the new generation are Xue Rengui is more outstanding, and today Xue Rengui showed his hand in front of the Son of Heaven, which made the monarchs and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty fierce, and full of confidence in the future of the Tang Dynasty.

"Spread the decree, give Xue Rengui ten taels of gold, and increase the number of food estates by 100." Li Zhi laughed heartily.

The middle scholar next to him hurriedly drafted the order.

Li Zhi rewarded him in person, not only for Xue Rengui's personal force, but also for Xue Rengui's actions, which instantly aroused the morale of the army.

One arrow penetrates the top five, and the morale of the army surges, which has a very important incentive effect on the upcoming Northern Expedition to Tiele, which is difficult to change.

Soon, Li Zhi's will spread throughout the army, and the soldiers were envious and shouted excitedly.

Xue Rengui was also too excited, and after having enough of the limelight, he rode his horse towards the commander's platform, obviously planning to thank the emperor in person.

However, at this moment, the unexpected happened.

After riding the horse for a hundred steps, the war horse under Xue Rengui's seat suddenly stumbled with its front hooves and involuntarily fell to one side.

Xue Rengui's face changed when he rode on the horse, and he was not panicked despite his superb riding skills, he clamped the horse's belly violently, and pulled the reins hard to the other side, trying to save the horse's loss of control.

However, after several efforts, the war horse finally couldn't control its body, and after letting out a mournful roar, it fell to one side suddenly.

The incident happened suddenly, Xue Rengui's whole person immediately rose into the air, and at the moment when the war horse fell to the ground, Xue Rengui had landed on both feet, rolled on the spot with inertia, and stood up unharmed.

This scene shocked the monarchs and soldiers, and when they saw that Xue Rengui was finally unharmed, everyone cheered.

At the imminent change, Xue Rengui's inadvertently exposed hand was once again applauded by the audience.

Xue Rengui looked back at the war horse, with a distressed look in his eyes.

This horse has followed him to fight in the north and south for many years, and it is his most beloved war horse, but he didn't expect it to fold on this school field.

The horse was still lying in the dust, its eyes filled with tears of pain, and one of its front hooves spasmed and twitched, and blood oozed from the end of the hoof.

The school field is full of discerning people, and everyone can see that this horse is probably useless.

On the command platform, the veterans also sighed.

"It should be that the horse's hooves are worn, Lao Xue's horse has been with him for more than ten years, and he is already old, so it is not suitable to fight again." Su Dingfang shook his head and sighed.

Liang Jianfang said regretfully: "It is a good horse, it is said that it is a big horse purchased from the Western Regions, Lao Xue likes this horse very much, the old man wanted to exchange it for a thousand gold, but Lao Xue Jian refused to allow it." ”

Everyone was sorry.

The meaning of a war horse to a general is tantamount to the closest comrade-in-arms and the most trusted relative, this kind of deep feeling, people who have not been in the army will not understand.

The sudden accident made Xue Rengui look a little embarrassed, but he didn't care about this, leaned over and kept rubbing the body of the war horse, and whispered something in its ear from time to time, as if he was comforting and regretting.

For a long time, the war horse was lifted by the combined efforts of several Xue family members, and Xue Rengui came to the command platform listlessly to salute Li Zhi and apologize.

Li Zhi also regretted it, comforted Xue Rengui while feeling distressed, and ordered the internal service province to choose a palace and give it to Xue Rengui.

The wounded war horse was carried to the commander's platform by the troops, and soon the military doctor stepped forward to check the treatment, and after a long time of investigation, the doctor shook his head regretfully.

Li Qinzai stood in the corner for a long time without making a sound, the Son of Heaven was present, and he didn't understand the etiquette of the face king, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Seeing that the injured horse's front hooves continued to spasm, and the horse's hooves were bleeding, and then looked closely at the end of the horse's hooves, Li Qinzai's brows couldn't help frowning.

On the command platform, when everyone was lamenting, a very disobedient voice suddenly appeared in the crowd.

"Isn't it stupid? Why don't you put shoes on your horses? ”

The sound was so small that almost no one heard it.

"Almost" no one hears it, but after all, someone with the tip of the ear hears it.

Although the veterans are old, they are all deaf and clear-sighted.

Others didn't hear it, but Liang Jianfang, who was closest to Li Qinzai, heard it clearly.

"Huh? What do you mean kid? What's your fallacy? Liang Jianfang hooked Li Qinzai's shoulders without big or small.

Li Qinzai was taken aback and hurriedly said: "It's nothing, the kid has a bad brain, and he often talks nonsense, Grandpa Liang is not strange." ”

Who knew that Liang Jianfang was a very serious person, and shook his head when he heard the words: "No, you were not talking nonsense just now, tell me carefully, what's the matter with putting shoes on the war horse?" Can war horses wear shoes? ”

Li Qinzai was in turmoil for a while.

Because of ignorance, he is timid, so he doesn't dare to talk nonsense.

Because he wasn't sure if the horseshoe had been invented in this era, after all, he clearly saw that the war horses on the school field already had saddles and stirrups, and it didn't make sense that the horseshoe hadn't been invented yet.

In case the horseshoe has already come out, Li Qinzai will make a fool of himself in front of the Son of Heaven, and Li Tao is afraid that he will really be killed when he turns around.

"Speak, the porcelain is stunned, what do you want to say, don't hide a good idea, this is a big thing for the country and the people." Liang Jianfang urged impatiently.

The voice of the speaker was a little louder, and the eyes of Empress Li Zhiwu and the generals on the command platform suddenly focused on the two of them, looking at them with curiosity.

was followed by so many people, and there were emperors and empresses among them, as well as a group of old killers who killed people without blinking, Li Qinzai's face suddenly turned red.

"Uh, the kid is ignorant, take the liberty to ask a ......," Li Qinzai said with a smile.

Liang Jianfang snorted: "If you ask, don't give an explanation when you turn around, the old man will beat you to death on behalf of your grandfather." ”

"You don't have to, you don't have to...... The kid just wants to ask, do you elders know about the horseshoe? ”

"What?" Liang Jianfang was stunned, and the generals were also stunned.

"Horseshoe, semi-circular or U-shaped, you don't know what a U is, do you? Boy, I'll draw you a picture......"

Liang Jianfang was impatient, his round eyes and said angrily: "The kid is not finished pretending to be a ghost!" Anyway, what the hell are you talking about! ”

's ignorant and arrogant expression made Li Qinzai suddenly want to give up, and wanted to be like the heroine in Grandma Qiong's drama, covering her ears and shouting, "I don't say it, I don't say it, I don't say it......"

And then run all the way away, it's so hypocritical.

It's a pity that Li Qinzai is not bold enough, and in front of the Son of Heaven and the old killers, Li Qinzai does not have the courage to challenge the limit of survival.

So he had to patiently explain: "Uncle Xue's war horse is worn out by the horse's hooves, that is, the loss of the stratum corneum of the nerve endings, which injures the muscles and blood vessels, resulting in crippled ......."

The more you explain, the more complicated it becomes, and you don't understand it at all. Seeing that the faces of the old killers present were becoming more and more impatient, Li Tao's hands sometimes turned into fists, sometimes palms, and he was about to do something to him.

Li Qinzai's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly continued: "It's like us ordinary people scratching the wall with our fingers, scratching and scratching, and the nails are gone, but if we still have to continue to scratch, we will naturally scratch our hands full of blood." ”

The veterans only then understood, thinking about the wear and tear of the horse's hooves, this is probably the truth.

Li Zhi and Empress Wu looked at each other, their eyes showed a thoughtful look, and they nodded slowly unconsciously.

"What Li Qing said is reasonable, continue to say, can Li Qing have a countermeasure for the horse's hooves to wear out?" Li Zhi asked with a smile.

Li Qinzai licked his dry lips and said in a low voice, "Didn't anyone think of putting an iron piece on the horse's hooves?" Nails and muscles are easy to wear, but the iron sheet is very wear-resistant, it is not a problem to use it for two or three years, and after the iron sheet is grinded, it can be used for two or three years......"

"There is no nerve at the end of a horse's hooves, and it doesn't feel pain like a human fingernail, and nailing a piece of iron to the horse's hooves with a nail will not cause harm to the horse, and it can also extend the life of the horse, you ...... Haven't you thought about it? ”

The autumn breeze blew across the school grounds, and on the dusty command platform, the expressions of the monarchs and ministers were blank, and there was silence all around.
