Chapter 030: Duel School Arena
I looked at He Zulong sharply and did not give in. I saw two words in his eyes: murderous.
I bet the rules are going to work in his favor.
"Okay, let's go to school." I answered.
He Zulong avoided my gaze, walked to Zhu Jinlong on the right side of the courtyard, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are the first rider of the Northern Army, how about it, return to my camp." Our camp allows you to show your strengths. ”
"Thank you Lord Captain for your love, and I will obey the orders of the Marquis Hou and listen to Lord Liu's dispatch, and I dare not leave my post without permission." Zhu Jinlong arched his hand, his eyes were full of complicated gratitude.
Why did He Zulong use the word "Hui"? Could it be that Zhu Jinlong jumped from the Yue Cavalry Battalion?
"It's simple, as long as you are willing to come over, the lieutenant will go and say it." He Zulong said hehehe. Zhu Jinlong immediately replied: "Lord Captain is wrong to love, and he doesn't dare to accept his humble position. The tone changed to a resolute one again.
"In that case, then do whatever you want. The gates of the Yue Qi Palace are always open to you. He Zulong laughed loudly, turned around and stepped on the street leading to Nancheng, and the knights on the left side of the courtyard gate followed, and the steps were up and down in unison, which made people sigh at the strictness of his army.
I'm very curious about the relationship between the two of them.
I led my knights far behind and went out into the street. After Zhu Jinlong and He Zulong talked, their faces were full of thoughts, and I didn't ask him. Then he went to ask Sima Jianghua of the Xintun Department what were the rules of the Northern Army.
It turned out that four of the five battalions under the command of the Northern Army were cavalry battalions and one battalion was an infantry battalion. Therefore, the Northern Army has had an unwritten rule since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: the way for the knights of the Northern Army to resolve disputes is to conduct two duels, and over time, the differences of opinion between the camps of the Northern Army are also determined by this law. This is how the previous lieutenant was killed by He Zulong.
The two duels are mounted combat (horse weapon battle) and mounted archery (horse bow and arrow). The rule is that each side will send six people, three people in each case, and each person can only participate in one event. During the competition, each side sends one person to compete, the first to land is the loser, the loser leaves, and the winner continues to compete with the next person. Whichever side has no substitutes is the loser and the other side is the winner. The loser has to discard his opinion and absolutely obey the winner.
The Yue Cavalry Battalion is an elite, and the odds of winning are much greater, no wonder He Zulong is the rules of the Northern Army. They are plotting against me. Hehe, it's just that he doesn't know that the brothers around me are all good. But he didn't talk about why he was fighting, which made me wonder.
Seeing that Zhu Jinlong was still preoccupied, I pulled Jiang Hua aside and asked him what the relationship was between him and He Zulong. Jiang Hua, this kid, squeaked and didn't say anything for a long time, and he just asked me to move out of the military law to scare him before he said it happily.
Zhu Jinlong originally served in the Yueqi Battalion, and had a private relationship with He Zulong's sister He Xinyi, but was discovered by He's father, and in a fit of anger, he married his daughter to Zhonglang and Gongsun Zhan as a concubine, and the wedding was already engaged, and the wedding will be held at the end of the year. For this reason, Zhu Jinlong always thought that He Zulong was an obstacle from it, and left the Yueqi camp in anger, and was taken in by Zou Jing, so he came to the Tun cavalry camp to serve as the Sima of the Shangtun Department.
After listening to this, my heart ached slightly. I understand that what happened to Zhu Jinlong makes me want to remember her. What a painful thing it is to love each other but not be able to stay together. So, I decided to help him.
Gongsun Chan is Liu Bei's senior brother and friend, and as far as I know about history, he doesn't like women very much. So I came forward and asked him to let him get out of the marriage, it shouldn't be too difficult. Alas, if you want to save this pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, I have to take action.
****** ****** ******
At about 9:00 a.m. Beijing time, our two battalions were divided into two semicircles in the school field outside the southern city, and the center was a circular open space of dozens of zhang square.
The early summer sun had begun to shine, and the knights were anxious. Only the occasional cool breeze makes people happy.
The sky was blue and full of white clouds, which did not correspond to the upcoming competition. Jiang Hua said that this kind of competition can cost one's life at any time, especially in mounted archery, and the comparison is not to shoot at the target, but to shoot people. The two horsemen were fifty paces apart, and the knights exchanged arrows. Often, many people have lost their lives in this project.
What is the difference between this competition and the grass and human life? I can't help but wonder if he died on this project when he became a lieutenant. The answer Jiang Hua gave was a nod.
From this point of view, He Zulong didn't say anything about the obvious purpose of provoking me to compete with him, because he was angry that he wanted to kill my subordinates.
"Captain Liu, can you start?" He Zulong shouted on the other side, looking at it like that, he couldn't wait.
"Absolutely." I replied.
The first comparison is cavalry warfare, which does not need to be careful, even if it is lost, there will be no casualties. Besides, with the second and third brothers here, what do I have to lose. Just riding and shooting worries me. Although Guan Yu's bow and arrow are very powerful, he doesn't know what will become when he gets on the horse.
"My lord, the first battle of mounted archery will be carried out by the lowly position." Zhu Jinlong said.
"With Brother Zhu here, we will definitely win." Jiang Hua interjected excitedly, and the knights behind heard that Zhu Jinlong had appeared, and they all showed happy looks. You can see how eager they are for this victory to wash away the humiliation of N years.
I don't know what kind of riders the other side will send. However, it is imperative to win the first game first. Suddenly, I heard the cheers on the other side, and turned my head to look, a big man waved his halberd and rode towards his heart.
Yo drink, with a halberd! You think you're Lu Bu!
"Third brother, the cavalry battle will be handed over to you." I shouted.
"I've wanted to teach these bitches a lesson for a long time." Zhang Feiyue went to the war horse brought by Jiang Hua, slapped the horse's belly with his big palm, and wanted to drive the horse forward. But the horse was in pain, and he turned around on the spot. No matter how Zhang Fei scolds, he just doesn't move forward. After tossing and turning, the horse simply sat on the ground, raised his neck and neighed, and was actually shouting to Zhang Fei: If I don't get up, what can you do to me?
Zhang Feiqi's beard stood upright, staring at the horses on the ground with big eyes like copper bells, stunned. There were bursts of mockery mixed with sarcasm on the other side of the introduction.
Seeing this scene, the knights of our battalion shook their heads and sighed, and their morale was instantly low.
Jiang Hua embarrassedly handed Zhang Fei a whip. Zhang Fei wrapped it around his hand, spit two mouthfuls of spit in the palm of his hand, rubbed it again, shouted, raised the long whip, and hit the grass with a "snap", and the frightened horse struggled to stand up.
"Grandma's." Zhang Fei jumped on the horse, threw the whip aside, and drove forward empty-handed.
The opposing knight came to fight with a single halberd, and the shouts behind him were like thunder.
The two horses intersected, and as soon as they merged, the knight was pulled off the horse by Zhang Fei.
At this time, the opposing knight was still shouting loudly, and he didn't stop in time, and it turned out to be a cheer.
Behind me, there was a "Huh? Then the cheers thundered, and I glanced at the knights on the left and right, and they all cheered and were overjoyed.
Looking at the opposite camp again, all of them were full of surprise.
