Governor Qiu Zhengxian shouted, "Good sons and daughters of Jiangnan West Road! Don't embarrass me! Let me see what our Jiangnan heroes are capable of!"

The shouts from the audience were like thunder, and the soldiers struck their shields with their swords, and made a deafening sound with their feet, which was very powerful.

Qiu Dudu took a step back, and the celebrant stepped forward and shouted loudly: "On the tenth day of the third month of the spring of the seventh year of the Tang Dynasty, the martial arts drill of the Jiangnan and Western Dao of the Tang Dynasty will be carried out immediately, and the sword will have no eyes, so it is advisable to pay attention to it and work hard to move forward to repay the country's kindness!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison, "Strive to move forward to repay the country's kindness!" Strive to move forward to repay the country's kindness!"

These tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, and it was really terrifying!

The drummer beat the first drum, and the red flag waved on the high platform to conduct joint combat drills!

The troops under the stage marched forward, and when they were more than 150 steps away from the straw man, the crossbow archers went up first, sending out crossbow arrows like rain, firing while marching, and when they reached more than 60 steps, the second drum sounded.

The crossbow bolts did not stop, the archers joined, and after more than twenty paces, the third drum sounded.

The bows and crossbows are stopped, the team gives way to the side, the rear team is stationed forward, the heavy armor Mo knife hand holds the Mo knife, like a wall and enters, the encounterer is invincible, the team packs up the bow and crossbow, draws out the long hammer broadsword to join the garrison to fight with the enemy.

Tens of thousands of straw people have already been planted with arrows under the previous crossbow arrows and bow and arrow attacks, and they have tasted the incessant sound of crossbows, arrows raining down, and under the continuous attack of this arrow rain, if there is no shield to cover it, the consequences will be miserable.

When it came to the close battle, I saw that the Tang soldiers were fighting bravely.

Although the opponent is a straw man, he is not careless, slashing obliquely, poking and slashing, so hard!

The fourth drum sounded, the cavalry got on the horse and charged, the fierce Tang cavalry, everyone was like a lightning strike, a whirlwind from the wings, the horizontal knife in the hand slashed to the sandbag, the palm of the long hammer pierced into the straw man, the thunder soared, it was fierce!

In less than a stick of incense, none of the straw men on the school field are complete.

After the fifth drum, the soldiers gathered in the center of the school field to face the high platform on the north side, and the phalanx was still strictly organized!

The onlookers on the sidelines couldn't help but applaud and cheer loudly!

Although it was only a drill, there were still soldiers who hung up their colors, and because the other soldiers were too involved, they lost their sense of proportion and swung their weapons too violently, and more than 20 soldiers were still cut and wounded.

However, he was still standing in the school grounds, letting the blood drip down his clothes and armor, which showed that the military discipline was strict, and the soldiers of Jiangnan West Road were indeed a well-trained elite soldiers.

The miscellaneous servants tidied up the school yard, and the lieutenants and generals of the various prefectures immediately raised corrections for the drill just now, and some soldiers were immediately punished and reprimanded, and the wounded soldiers were put down to apply medicine.

After a short rest, the soldiers of each state conducted a formation drill.

According to the color of the robe and armor, they entered the school field in turn, raised the flag on the high platform to dispatch and command, and the formation in the school field changed rapidly, strictly and orderly.

There are ten formations of Sun Bin, which are actually eight formations, which are square, round, sparse, numbered, cone-shaped, goose-shaped, hook-shaped, and mysterious eight arrays.

There are also familiar formations - Datang Ten Formations are practiced together: One Word Long Snake Array, Two Dragons Out of the Water Array, Three Mountains and Yue'er Array, Four Doors Doudi Array, Five Tiger Bashan Array, Liujia Ecstasy Array, Seven Vertical and Seven Capture Arrays, Bagua Yin and Yang Zimu Array, Nine Palace Bagua Array, and Ten Generations of Ming King Array.

There is a law in the exercise, the advance and retreat are orderly, and the civil officials and martial arts knights on the stage are all amazed and admired!

The Jiangnan West Road soldiers' drill did not end until sunset.

The tens of thousands of onlookers also rejoiced and admired, their hearts were quite majestic and majestic, the military appearance was strict and complacent, and the noise lasted until the night, and the crowd slowly dispersed...

Early in the morning of the second day, civil and military officials went to the east campus to watch the martial arts examination. The martial arts examination is divided into three major items.

The first is the bow and arrow examination, in which all generals must participate.

The second is a demonstration of martial arts, in which the generals must use a stick or a set of fists and kicks, which are evaluated by the high-grade generals of each state.

The third is the military general competition, the military generals of each state are divided into three teams according to the color of the robe and armor, each with three generals, and the sponsored heroes can also participate, but only two people are limited.

Those who participate in the competition can get a brocade robe, a sword, and the winning generals and military attaches will be given a battle robe, a pair of armor, a refined Mo knife, a famous horse, and a number of silver rewards.

The east school field is much smaller than the west school field, only two miles long and one mile wide, there are several trees in the school field, and a high platform trellis has been erected on the north side.

The crowd of onlookers today was much smaller than the day before, but there were still thousands of onlookers.

The left head is equipped with dozens of arrow stacks, 100 steps for the boundary, the state generals prepare their own accustomed bows and arrows to participate in the examination, shoot the arrow buttress red heart, enjoy a glass of wine, shoot the arrow battlement, only to qualify, if the shot is not hit, reshoot once, if still missed, a glass of water is fined, the third time to shoot again, if still not hit, then fined one month's salary.

The generals were still divided into three-color robes and armor, each with about thirty or forty people, and even the governor and deputy governor were also killed.

Qiu Zhengxian rode a yellow-maned horse to a hundred steps away, and slowly turned around with his back to the arrow stack, only to see him roll up his sleeve robe, put on the arrow, lead the bow, suddenly turn over and shoot back, and with a snort, the arrow was like a meteor chasing the moon, and it was actually hit by the red heart of the arrow stack!

It is worthy of the townside generals who have been in battle for a long time, and all the generals and colonels on and off the stage, civil officials and ordinary people cheered in unison, and praised one after another: Governor Divine Arrow.

Just when everyone applauded and there was a period of chaos, the deputy governor looked listless, and rode a curly-haired red rabbit horse to more than a hundred steps away.

Everyone also cheered, but Shangguan Jingtu, as if he hadn't heard it, slowly rode back to the high platform, and the entourage led the horse away, and the deputy governor slowly walked up to the stage.

Nan Jiyun is a chill in his heart, good archery, Nan Jiyun is also a good bow and arrow, of course, there is nothing unusual for arrows to shoot red hearts, but even when to draw arrows, take the arrows too late to see clearly, the arrows have been hit, and take a closer look, the two arrows are gathered in the center of the red heart, this Du Du archery method is really not lower than Du Du.

I only heard Lei Wanchun say in a low voice: "This deputy governor Shangguan Jingtu is not a simple character!"

Nan Jiyun asked, "How can you see it?"

Lei Wanchun smiled: "Big brother is taking the test for me! The deputy governor is really a scheming character, he does not transgress his status, and he does not destroy the prestige of the official, even if his ability surpasses that of his superiors, he is obscure, and he usually does not show his edge, this kind of person's mind is unpredictable, and he is really not a simple character! Let's be more careful!"

Nan Jiyun verbally agreed, but thought in his heart, "Everyone pays attention to different things! I only pay attention to the martial arts of the Governor, but Brother Lei Xian pays attention to the temperament and personality of the Governor, and everyone's thoughts are so different!"

The generals entered the archery in turn, and suddenly saw a white-robed general, who came up and shot an arrow, and soon after came up to shoot an arrow, Nan Jiyun felt puzzled, thinking that he might be dazzled by the distance, and did not pay attention to the entry and exit of the generals, and recognized the wrong person, otherwise why would the same person shoot two arrows.
