There were also five scholars in the competition field, they were the finale candidates deliberately selected by Suo Zhiping, Zhang Li, Suo Wen, Li Pan, Zheng Han and Zhao Yuanli.

In addition to Zhao Yuanli, who is the son of an ordinary big family, the other four represent the four major families in Shazhou.

They were also the best cavalry shooters in Dunhuang, with Li Zhen taking the lead, and the five of them ranked second to sixth.

Five children are freshly dressed and angry, each of them is tall, the instrument is lofty, holding the eagle bow, lined up on the test road, the spring breeze blows, the spirit of the people and horses, it seems that the jade tree is in the wind.

But the ordinary people did not care about any deliberate arrangement, their emotions were completely mobilized, everyone shouted hoarsely and cheered, even the soldiers also shouted, and the drums beat louder and louder, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Li Wuqi also felt quite embarrassed, and smiled at Wang Xiaojie: "What does the general think of these Dunhuang children?"

Wang Xiaojie nodded, "Yes, a few teenagers have outstanding appearances, so I don't know how to ride and shoot?"

"Hehe! This is the best child of our Dunhuang, and we specially put it in the last competition. ”

"Really?"

Wang Xiaojie glanced meaningfully at Li Zhen in the distance, "Then I'm more interested." ”

Li Wuqi immediately instructed Suo Zhiping, "Suo Sima, let's start!"

Suo Zhiping ran to the high platform and waved his hand and shouted, "It's started!"

He was also very nervous, and he didn't know if Suo Ping could fight for the Suo family, at this time, Li Jin also stood up nervously, his palms were covered with sweat.

Li Pan's ranking position is more delicate, excluding Li Zhen, he is exactly ranked third, if he swings abnormally on the spot, he may be replaced by Zheng Han, which is bad.

In fact, as long as Li Pan can swing normally, even if he is slightly inferior, he can make up for the lost points in foot shooting.

This is also a temporary change in the rules this year, counting the foot shooting results is conducive to manipulating the internal list, the key is that Li Pan does not swing abnormally.

At this time, the soldiers on the side waved the red flag, and the five soldiers galloped in order, each of them could only shoot one arrow.

They shoot at the straw man target 60 paces away from the right within a 50-step run, and then they are judged by what part they hit.

This is the military's standard cavalry archery test method, and it is much less difficult than Li Zhen's cavalry archery in the barracks.

Li Zhen is within a running distance of twenty steps, and two arrows shoot at a straw man target eighty steps away, which is the highest difficulty, and very few people can do it.

The first one is Zhang Li, in the shouts and cheers of the audience on both sides, he galloped and entered the shooting line, Zhang Gong shot an arrow, the swing was extremely smooth, the long arrow hit the throat of the strawman, and the whole test field was boiling.

Only Wang Xiaojie and Zhang Ting did not react, both of them witnessed Li Zhen's divine shooting, Zhang Li's level is really a big difference, and it is not worth cheering.

At this time, Wang Xiaojie smiled at Zhang Ting and said, "Ling Lang has a good shot, I will write him a letter of recommendation." ”

Zhang Ting was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you for the reputation of the general." ”

At this time, the cheers on the field resounded like thunder again, this was an arrow shot by Suo Wen, and he shot it well, right in the chest, comparable to Zhang Li's arrow.

Suo Zhiping was secretly happy in his heart, and looked at Wang Xiaojie with his eyes, Zhang Li has a letter of recommendation, and Suo Wen should also have talent.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaojie was motionless, did not say anything, and did not even congratulate at the very least, Suo Zhiping's heart sank, and he felt a little bad.

Just when Suo Zhiping was flustered, the three people behind him rushed over like flowing water, but in the end, there was a regretful exclamation from the audience.

In the last case, Zhao Yuanli was too nervous, he didn't shoot the straw man, and the arrow missed the target.

At this time, Wang Xiaojie laughed, "They are all good teenagers, although the last one didn't hit the target, it's a bit regrettable, but the courage is commendable, I hope to work hard next time." ”

He smiled at Li Wuxian again, "Shouldn't we let that boy appear to perform riding and shooting?"

Later, Li Jin was also stunned, why didn't General Wang write a letter of recommendation, he glanced at Suo Zhiping, Suo Zhiping also happened to be looking at him, and shook his head at him, meaning that I am afraid that Wang Xiaojie will not write.

Li Jin didn't speak for a long time, if there was no recommendation letter from Wang Xiaojie, then his concessions to the Suo family would be too bad, and it made him feel like he was going to vomit blood.

Thorn Shi Li said with a smile: "It seems that the general is looking forward to that young man!"

He immediately ordered the entourage next to him, "Go and find Li Zhengongzi." ”

Not long after, Li Zhen rode a horse and galloped over, even if Wang Xiaojie didn't look for him, he would come to Wang Xiaojie, he didn't want to shoot such a low-level test target.

"Students, see the general!" Li Zhen clasped his fists and saluted.

"Li Shaolang, now it's your turn to perform mounted archery, of course, if you don't participate in the Wuju Township Test, you don't need to use the test method of the Township Test, let's change the way to ride and shoot, how about it?"

"Ask the general!"

Wang Xiaojie smiled at everyone again: "Since it's a riding and archery performance, let's not be so formal, I'll come up with the question and let him solve the problem, what do you think?"

Everyone agreed, Suo Zhiping's heart was slightly lowered, this Wang Xiaojie obviously didn't want to know the inside story of this Wuju Township Test, and this matter was lightly revealed.

Zhang Ting said on the side: "Since it is a riding and archery performance, there must be a color head, and I will pay fifty taels of gold for the color head." ”

"No! no!"

Wang Xiaojie hurriedly waved his hand, "How can you ask Zhang Jun to break the fee, since I am the one who made the question, I will naturally come up with the color." ”

He commanded his soldiers, "Bring the horses!"

I saw that the soldiers brought an extremely majestic red Dawan horse, with strong and slender limbs and a flowing tail, and everyone admired, "Good horse!"

Wang Xiaojie smiled proudly: "This was seized when the city of Guizi was broken, I originally planned to bring it into Beijing, but now I will use it as a lottery head." ”

Everyone couldn't understand, why did Wang Xiaojie take this riding and archery performance so seriously?

Unexpectedly, the BMW that was going to be given to the powerful in the DPRK and China was taken out to make a lottery head, and it was difficult to buy this BMW daughter, this Wang Xiaojie was really weird.

Li Zhen recognized this BMW at a glance, it was the good horse he rode in the barracks yesterday, and a trace of gratitude suddenly surged in his heart, it turned out that Wang Xiaojie had already prepared.

Wang Xiaojie pointed to the BMW and asked Li Zhen, "Do you want this horse?"

"I want to!" Li Zhen also replied cleanly and decisively.

"Okay! If you can solve my problem, I will give you this BMW as a jackpot, of course, my problem is not so easy to solve, and this horse will not be so easy to ride. ”

Li Zhen bowed down and said, "Please ask the general to ask the question!"

Wang Xiaojie stared at him for a moment, and waved his hand, "Take it!"

Several of the pro-soldiers took out a bow and two pots of arrows, and there were only five arrows in each pot, and interestingly, ten arrows were colored, five red arrows, five black arrows, and everyone was surprised, what was this to do?

Zhang Ting's heart moved slightly, it seems that Wang Xiaojie has been prepared, first the horse, and then the arrow, this Wang Xiaojie does not pay attention to Li Zhen in general!

Wang Xiaojie pointed to the arrow and smiled: "This is a reward for me in the army, no one has got it so far, to be honest, I also failed back then, the gameplay is very simple, I will shoot five red arrows, you are running from eighty steps away with black arrows to intercept all, do you dare to take this question?"

The whole of the high platform exclaimed, this difficulty is simply terrifying, how can it be possible to intercept arrows with arrows, or to run eighty paces away?

No wonder no one could break it, everyone's eyes turned to Li Zhen to see how he answered.

Li Zhen bowed proudly and said, "The student is willing to take the question!"

The news quickly spread throughout the audience, and tens of thousands of people were boiling, even those who didn't know how to ride and shoot knew that it was simply impossible.

Li Quan's heart even rose to his throat, and he clasped his palms together and pleaded silently, 'Please ask the Bodhisattva to bless my brother!'

At this time, Li Zhen's war horse was galloping like thunder, he was holding a shadow bow in his hand, and five black arrows on his back, not as graceful as the five scholars just now, but even more murderous.

The square of 10,000 people suddenly became silent, tens of thousands of pairs of eyes were watching him, Wang Xiaojie strode to the front of the stage, pulled out a red arrow, and shouted: "I'm going to shoot an arrow!"

Li Zhen also pulled out a black arrow, and galloped in a straight line, at this time, Wang Xiaojie shot a red arrow from the sky, drawing a red arc, which was particularly conspicuous under the blue sky.

There was only a moment of opportunity, Li Zhen drew his bow like a full moon in the gallop, a black arrow came out of the string, and shot strongly towards the red arrow eighty steps away, tens of thousands of eyes looked at it together, and at the same time let out an exclamation, the black arrow hit the red arrow accurately, and the two arrows fell at the same time.

Immediately the applause was like thunder, and the cheers resounded all over the world, and even the high-ranking officials on the high platform couldn't help but stand up and applaud, it was so exciting.

"Stinky boy!"

Wang Xiaojie scolded secretly and shouted: "The second arrow is coming!"

The second arrow shot out flat, faster, like a red shadow flying by, Li Zhen's black arrow also shot out almost at the same time, the black shadow chased, one red and one black two arrow shadows collided in the air, flashing sparks, this time it was the arrows that collided.

The cheers of the mountains and tsunamis became more violent, and many people's voices were hoarse, and the atmosphere was so violent that it almost overturned the polo field.

Wang Xiaojie sneered and shouted again: "The third arrow is coming!"

But he secretly pulled out two red arrows, pulled out the treasure eagle bow, and shot both arrows at the same time, where is the third arrow, it is clear that the third arrow and the fourth arrow are shot at the same time.

However, he shot an arc parabola, which was considered to give Li Zhen a chance to breathe.

Li Zhen had already guessed that there would be such two arrows at the same time, his eyes had been staring at Wang Xiaojie's hand, and now that he had two red arrows being brought out of the quiver, he pulled out two black arrows without thinking.

He couldn't shoot two arrows at the same time, he had to use the Lianzhu arrows that Master had taught him to shoot in the shortest possible time.

In the gallop of the war horse, Li Zhen drew his bow like a full moon, and the two arrows shot out one after the other, flying away like a meteor catching the moon, hitting two red arrows.

But he didn't look at the result, but he quickly drew the last black arrow, and with a move the rhinoceros Mochizuki, he lay flat on his horse and shot an arrow from the back and up.

This is the real test, it turns out that after Wang Xiaojie shot two arrows at the same time, the fifth red arrow was also shot immediately, not giving the other party a chance at all, if Li Zhen went to see the results of the Lianzhu arrow, he would inevitably miss the fifth arrow.

Back then, Su Dingfang, the founding general of the Tang Dynasty, used the same five-arrow question to test Wang Xiaojie, and Wang Xiaojie failed in the final fifth arrow.

I saw that the last arrow was like a black lightning bolt, shooting at a rapid pace, and with a sound of 'dang!', it hit the arrow of the red arrow.

The three arrows were completed almost instantaneously, and no one could react, and the competition was silent.

Li Zhen took the bow and urged the horse to come to the high platform, he smiled slightly, bowed and saluted, "The student is fortunate not to be dishonored!"

At this moment, the tsunami-like cheers suddenly sounded all around, and the whole stadium became a sea of shouts, and people were almost crazy, desperately running towards the field, but were stopped by thousands of soldiers holding hands.

Li Quan was so excited that tears flowed out, and she hugged Kang Sisi tightly in her arms, and at this moment, she felt extremely proud and proud.

Li Jin sat down dejectedly, and a kind of remorse that he had never felt before welled up in his heart, this is the son of their Li family!

Wang Xiaojie nodded slowly, "Li Zhen, this commander not only wants to reward you with the war horse, but also recommends you to go to the capital to participate in the martial arts jinshi, which will be used as a quota for my army." ”

"Thank you, General, for your appreciation!"

Li Zhen was excited, he still got the opportunity to enter Beijing.

Zhang Ting also understood Wang Xiaojie's deep meaning, and yesterday he took a fancy to this excellent young horse archer
