Chapter 5 Field Hunting

The summer of the seventh year of King Mu was hotter than usual, with blazing sunshine and abundant rain. Lu Kui mentioned in his stargazing class that this year's crops may have matured earlier than in previous years. What Lu Kui said was about farming time and people's livelihood, but in the ears of students, the crops are ripening early, which means that the autumn vacation will come early.

Before the autumn vacation, students should be assessed in the two classes of archery and royalty, which is probably the most popular exam for students, because this kind of exam is conducted in the way of field hunting, and which young man with strong blood does not like field hunting?

This summer's rain is a lot, and the courses that are taught outdoors are postponed when it rains, and the postponed classes and imperial classes are concentrated in August.

It was a sunny day, and Dr. Su Kuang led the one-year students to teach archery classes on the school grounds. The knowledge of archery is to be taught together with Mr. Plough in his etiquette class, and today Su Kuang is taking the students to practice the five archery skills.

The students lined up in front of the target, and the male and female students practiced separately. The female students used a special bow with a weaker bow force than the male students, so that the female students with less strength could pull it away. Even if the bow strength is weakened, it takes a lot of effort to pull the bow to the full, let alone shoot the arrow to the target. Every time he took a shooting class since he entered school, he practiced very seriously, and he still didn't make much progress until now, which made him very dissatisfied with himself, so he could only practice harder.

Su Kuang didn't have any big expectations for the female students' shooting class results, in fact, everyone didn't seem to have any requirements for the female students' shooting class, after all, they were all delicate women, just let them accompany Wang Ji through the motions. Most of the female students also think the same way, so the female students practice archery skills and become lazy, giggling and using the shooting range as their pot throwing entertainment.

However, Su Kuang is very strict with the male students in the first year, these sons from all over the world have been studying for several months, and there are still those who can't hit the target, which makes Su Kuang very dissatisfied. Especially after this round of salvos, none of the male students' targets hit the bull's-eye, Su Kuang finally couldn't bear it, stopped all the male students, pointed to the arrow target and erupted: "The major affairs of the country are in worship and Rong." If you are not even able to do this in archery, how can you teach your people well when you take charge of the country in the future? All the male students looked ashamed and bowed their heads and did not dare to speak. Seeing this, Su Kuang became more and more angry, pointed at the arrow target and shouted: "Wait for a good man, can any of you tell me that he can shoot that bull's-eye?" ”

"I'm coming!" A clear voice sounded, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see Wang Ji Jiman walk out of the female student, walk to a male student, reach out and take his bow, open the bow and shoot the arrow, and the arrow hit the bull's-eye. Several female students next to her shouted loudly and cheered for Wang Ji happily. Ji Man threw the bow back at the male student and walked back to the female student.

Su Kuang stopped speaking, and coldly glanced at everyone with his eyes. The male students' heads hung lower, uneasy under Su Kuang's gaze. Su Kuang was silent for a while, and finally sighed secretly, and said to the male students hatefully: "You guys are really the worst class I have ever led!" ”

Su Kuang walked to the target shot by Ji Man, and saw that the arrow hit the bull's-eye, but did not pass through the target, and did not reach the standard of "white arrow". However, for a woman, it is already good to be able to shoot the bull's-eye, especially with so many incompetent male students. Su Kuang took off the arrow, walked to Ji Man and handed her the arrow, and praised: "It is worthy of the bloodline of the Martial King, and your sentence 'I am victorious over the other place' does not seem to be a lie." ”

Ji Man took the arrow and saluted Su Kuang respectfully, expressing his gratitude to Mr. for his approval. The female students usually have a good impression of this gentleman with long hair and a long body, and they all salute with Wang Ji.

Su Kuang was in a slightly better mood, turned his head to look, and saw that the second and third year students who were practicing the imperial course on the other side of the school had come to an end and were resting between classes, so he walked over and said hello to the doctoral master of the imperial course, and called Ji Bohu out.

Su Kuang led Ji Bohu to the first-year students and said, "Today I will bring one of your seniors to demonstrate the five-shot technique with me, you should watch carefully." After speaking, Xiang Ji Bohu nodded.

Ji Bohu stood still in front of the arrow target, took the bow and arrow, and shot an arrow, hitting the bull's-eye. Su Kuang walked to the arrow target, saw that the arrow penetrated the arrow target more than an inch, and pulled out the arrow forcefully, the arrow was white because it penetrated the target and was stained with sawdust on the arrow target, Su Kuang passed the arrow to the male students to watch, and said: "Archery, one must be accurate, and the other must be powerful." The arrow passes through the target and turns white, which shows the accuracy and strength of the arrow, which is the standard of the 'white arrow' in the five-shot technique. ”

The yearlings looked at the arrows and talked about it. At this time, the second and third-year students who were resting saw that there was a lively scene to see, so they all gathered around.

Su Kuang said to Ji Bohu: "Go on." ”

Ji Bohu shot one arrow first, and then shot three more arrows, and the arrows were connected, and if they were like beads, they all hit the bull's-eye. There was a burst of exclamation in the middle of the year.

Su Kuang said: "You see, put a arrow in the front, and the last three arrows go in a row, and the arrows belong to each other. "The yearlings are talking louder. Su Kuang reminded loudly: "Next is '剑注', you have to concentrate on it." ”

Ji Bohu stood with a bow, and suddenly put an arrow on the bow, and he didn't aim at it, the arrow was sent out instantly, and everyone looked again, and the arrow was already above the bull's-eye. Su Kuang said: "'Notes' is the disease of the arrow, and the arrow is hit immediately, can you all see it clearly?" ”

The year-olds were silent, as if they were intimidated by the fast arrow, and had not yet reacted.

Su Kuang stepped forward and stood side by side with Ji Bohu, who saluted Su Kuang and retreated a foot back. Su Kuang said to everyone: "The minister and the king shoot, the minister and the king stand side by side, let the king retreat one foot, this is the 'Xiang ruler'." ”

Su Kuang walked away, Ji Bohu stepped forward with a bow again, took out four arrows and shot them out in a row, hitting the upper left, lower left, upper right, and lower right of the arrows of the previous '剑注', like a "well" character. The distance between the four arrows is equal, and the points are exactly the same, as if the distance has been measured in advance.

The second and third year students who were watching around cheered loudly, and the first year students paused and cheered.

Su Kuang waited for the noise to stop, and said: "Four arrows through the target, such as the appearance of the well, this is the 'well instrument' technique that can only be achieved by having a high degree of certainty of the accuracy of the arrow." ”

After Ji Bohu demonstrated the five-shot technique, he put down the bow, held his head high, and his air was magnificent.

Su Kuang looked at the male students in the first year and said loudly: "The senior who demonstrated to you today was only one year earlier than you, but now he has all the skills of five shots. Then he turned to Ji Bohu and asked, "Ji Bohu, do you have any secrets to practicing archery skills?" Let's talk to them. ”

Ji Bohu was praised by Mr., touched his head embarrassedly, and said, "There's no secret, just practice more." ”

Su Kuang nodded with satisfaction and said to the first-year students, "You all heard it!" There is no shortcut to the art of archery, only diligent practice! The yearlings agreed in unison.

Su Kuang asked the yearlings to continue practicing, turned around and patted Ji Bohu and said, "Not bad!" But don't be proud, you still have a long way to go from becoming a true archer, and you have to continue to hone yourself. ”

Ji Bohu said yes again and again, and humbly saluted Su Kuang. Su Kuang nodded, and Ji Bohu retreated to the students of the imperial class.

Zhong Qi and Bo Jiang walked towards Ji Bohu, and Bo Jiang put Ji Bohu's shoulder on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Let your kid show his face again!" ”

Ji Bohu was still immersed in the emotions just now, and said modestly: "Where, where." ”

The three of them walked around the school yard and saw that many new weapon racks had been added.

Ji Bohu said happily: "Yo, this is a new weapon!" The three of them walked up quickly to check, and saw that there were indeed many newly made weapons on those weapon racks.

Ji Bohu took a fancy to a pair of red gold hammers at a glance, picked them up and played with them, and felt very comfortable and loved them.

The general next to him said: "This hammer is quite suitable for you." ”

"I like it too." Ji Bohu played two more times and said, "However, this hammer is more suitable for hand-to-hand combat, and I'm afraid it's useless in car battles." ”

Zhong Qi said: "You can carry it with you, use a halberd bow and arrow for chariot warfare, and a hammer for foot combat." ”

"That's right." Ji Bohu nodded and said, "Actual combat is one thing. On the other hand, as a general, standing on the chariot, always holding a spear and halberd is even more majestic, if you hold such a pair of copper hammers, the effect of majesty is greatly bad. ”

"What's not good? There are poems to praise! The general coughed and groaned:

"Frightened, thunderous.

The sky is tilted to the northwest, and the earth is sunk to the southeast.

Yu has a son, and he cultivates through the sky.

The bearer of the weight is called the purple gold hammer. ”

After chanting, he looked at Ji Bohu seriously.

Ji Bohu scratched his head: "The poem is good, but what is this awkward, what are you talking about?" ”

Bo Jiang and Zhong Qi looked at each other a few times, and finally couldn't hold it back, and the two of them laughed. Ji Bohu knew that the general was teasing himself again, so he couldn't help but be angry, and clenched two fists and threw himself at the two. For a while, the sound of "haha" and "oops" came and went.

Bo will show his wisdom by teasing Ji Bohu, Ji Bohu will show his strength by beating Bo in the future, and Zhong Qi will show his powerlessness by being played and beaten together. Young people are happy to vent their energies, and it is a happy time for them to enjoy before the burden of their country weighs on their shoulders.

Not far away, Shi Li watched the three young people enviously playing and making trouble, exuding youthful vitality, his past at this age seemed to be a long time ago, and now he was accompanied only by his graying temples, full of war wounds and this lame right leg. Shi Tuo patted his leg, thinking that if it weren't for this lame leg, he should have fought with the soldiers of the Shi clan on the battlefield of the Northern Underworld at this time, maybe he had died in the ice and snow battlefield, which was also the best destination for a warrior.

Shi Li pressed down the sad emotion, stood up and shouted loudly The students who had rested gathered as a team to start the next round of imperial class practice.

Today's main purpose is for students to practice the Five Imperial Techniques. In the last round of the imperial class, let the students practice "Ming and Luan" again, these two and three years of students have practiced this skill more proficiently, ten chariots lined up, has been able to do the bell "and" on the car shi, and the bell on the scale "Luan" sound rhythm is consistent, the so-called "the car is the horse moves, the horse moves the Luan Ming, the Luan Ming and the response", the teacher is quite satisfied.

In this round, the students are asked to practice "chasing the water", which requires the emperor to drive the chariot on the crooked shore at the water's edge, and the chariot will not fall into the water. The requirements of the teacher are stricter, the wheels of the third-year students shall not exceed two feet from the shore, and the wheels of the second-year students shall not exceed two feet and six inches from the shore, which will put great psychological pressure on the emperor.

Shi Tu led the students and the five-ride chariot to the bank of Luoshui, where there is a section of the river bank specially used for students to practice "chasing the water". The third-year students are okay, but the exercises before the second-year students are all in the school field along the lines drawn by the chalk to simulate the riverbank, and today's class is the first time for the second-year students to practice on the real riverbank, and they can't help but feel a little apprehensive.

The distance to be walked for the practice is about half a mile, and the master only needs to drive across the bank of the river for half a mile to turn back and hand over the car to the next person to practice. The difference is that the third-year students are required to drive through quickly, while the second-year students only need to walk slowly because it is the first field drill.

The third-year students practice first, and after the practice, the third-year students will climb to the right position of the second-year car to provide guidance and protection for the younger students.

Ji Bohu was the first in the second year, and he looked at the seniors around him, and seemed to be more nervous than himself. Ji Bohu smiled at him and said, "It's okay, don't worry." After saying that, he drove out, and he was familiar with it, and the speed was faster than that of the three-year students, and he turned around after running half a mile. Ji Bohu was triumphant, and easily greeted the classmates who had not yet set off, but the third-year student next to him turned pale.

Zhong Qi was cautious all the way, driving slowly, and asked the seniors around him for advice from time to time along the way. Luoshui's water was rumbling beside him, and Zhong Qi was also deaf, and finally walked this section without danger, but when he turned around, Zhong Qi realized that the clothes on his back were soaked with sweat.

In the previous simulation exercises, Bo General has never been able to pass smoothly without pressing the wheels to the white line, and he is also one of the students that Shi Li is most worried about, and the third-year student arranged by his side is the best in the imperial arts among the all, and he is ready to take the reins at any time to save this kid's life. However, Bo didn't seem to be afraid, he drove lazily and stopped, and sometimes he didn't care if he was scolded loudly by the teacher who was walking with the car after a long stop, and let him go all the way smoothly.

When it was the turn of the prince of the country to die, he walked crookedly, and he couldn't go any longer halfway through, so he stopped on his own. The master next to him shouted loudly, perhaps frightened, and shook the reins, and the four horses rushed to the riverbank, and the three years next to him hurriedly took the reins and tried to take the horses away from the riverbank, but it was too late, and the horses turned in a different direction when they approached the bank, and this flick made one side of the chariot wheel completely slide out of the riverbank, and it was about to overturn into the river, and the two people on the chariot exclaimed loudly. In the midst of the lightning, I saw Shi Yu hurrying forward, grabbed the car behind the car, and let out a loud shout, and pulled the car back to the shore.

The students were stunned, and the general stabbed Ji Bohu and asked, "Can you do it?" ”

"I don't know." Ji Bohu said dumbfoundedly: "If it's just that car, I shouldn't have any problems, but there are two big people in the car!" ”

Zhong Qi said: "Do you want to go over and have a look?" ”

"No." The general said: "Mr. is teaching, and you can't do it without a call." ”

Dying Zhi was frightened, bowed his head and sobbed, and the third-year student next to him also trembled.

Shi Li scolded loudly: "Bastard!! It's just such a little change, crying what to cry about! ”

Shi Li asked the three-year-old student on the right side of the car to go back first, and said loudly to Xiangzhi: "You are a dignified son of a country, a good man, with the responsibility of defending your family and country, even if you face a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in the future, you must have the courage to move forward." Shi Tu pointed to the river bank in front of him: "The road in front of you is the road you have to walk by yourself, no one can help you, you can only rely on yourself." ”

Shi Li paused for a moment, and then said: "I will be by your side, you fall down once, I will pull you up once; You fall ten times, and I'll pull you up ten times until you're done with it. ”

When he heard Shi's words, he stopped crying and began to tremble and pick up the reins. Shi Li also stopped talking, staring at Dying with his waist crossed.

After a while, the dying car finally moved again, and staggered forward. The students in the back held their breath and kept their eyes fixed on the car. When the dying car finally passed the finish line and began to turn, the students cheered loudly as if they were the ones who had passed the finish line.

It seems that he was inspired by the teacher's words just now, and then the students all completed the practice smoothly without any accidents.

The teacher led the students back to the school, and according to the custom, the last round of today's imperial class was to train the students in the skills of fighting under the car.

What we have to practice today is to form a formation to attack and defend. There are more than 80 people in the second and third years, and the division divides them into two camps, black and white, with 40 people in each formation, and each has a main general, who will hold chalk rods and wooden shields to form a battle formation to attack each other, and those who are hit on the head and torso by chalk rods and leave white marks will be judged to be killed in battle.

The distribution of factions is determined by drawing lots. Zhong Qi and Ji Bohu drew into the opposing camp, Ji Bohu patted Zhong Qi and said with a smile: "I will never leave my hand on the battlefield, you have to be careful." ”

Zhong Qi saw that he had become Ji Bohu's opponent, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Seeing the lottery drawn by Bo Jiang, he said strangely: "Bo Jiang, why did you win the bye again?" ”

There are more than eighty people in total, and there are only forty people in each battle array, so there are a few people who will have byes every time, but the strange thing is that the general can be drawn every time, which can't help but surprise Zhong Qi.

"What's this, it's just luck." The general smiled and said, "You have to practice hard." ”

The battle formation on Ji Bohu's side naturally elected Ji Bohu as the main general, and the students who selected this battle formation were all full of confidence. The leader of the battle array on Zhong Qi's side will be Ji Hao, the three-year-old prince of Suiguo, and when he saw that the morale of the people on his side was not high, he encouraged: "The way of the battle array depends on everyone's unity and cooperation. Although the main general on the opposite side is powerful, he may have some advantages in solo training, but as long as we all work together and use our wisdom and courage, why can't we defeat them? After listening to Ji Hao's words, everyone rekindled their fighting spirit and gathered together to discuss the strategy of breaking the enemy.

At this time, the archery class of the year-olds over there had already been completed, and Su Kuang saw that there was a battle formation training here, so he led all the first-year students to come over for training. For the first time, the year-olds saw the seniors practicing in battle, and they stood aside and were excited, shouting and cheering. The female students also gathered together, looking at the formation with big curious eyes, these women in the boudoir had never seen the battlefield before, and they were full of anticipation.

Seeing that there were female students watching next to them, the students who were ready to practice were more combative, and they were all gearing up to perform well.

Ji Bohu's camp is the black formation, and the students in this camp all have black scarves on their heads; Ji Hao's camp is a white formation, and the students are all wearing white scarves on their heads. The division gave an order, and the students of the two camps quickly formed a formation with weapons and prepared to attack and defend.

The formation formed by the white formation is the formation of crane wings, and the main general is at the rear of the battle formation, surrounded by heavy troops; The formation formed by the black array is the formation of the arrow, but the difference from the ordinary array is that the main general of the black formation does not live behind the battle formation, but stands at the arrow at the front of the entire battle array, which is Ji Bohu wants to use himself as a blade to quickly cut through the opponent's formation and form a central breakthrough.

As soon as the drums of the attack sounded, the black formation immediately charged the white formation, and the soldiers of the black formation shouted loudly, and Ji Bohu rushed to the front first. The soldiers of the white formation were silent, and when the black array striker rushed to the front of the formation, Ji Hao gave an order, and the left and right wings quickly closed, firmly surrounding the few people of the black array striker in the formation and launching a fierce attack.

Ji Hao had long expected that with Ji Bohu's character, he would inevitably rush to the front, so he used the crane wing array, and only waited for the opponent's main general to enter the position to close the circle, as long as the opponent's main general was taken, this battle could be won. The development of the war was as Ji Hao expected, and Ji Bohu was encircled by his own army, which was the situation that Ji Hao wanted to see the most.

Ji Bohu and a few people around him were surrounded by each other, and the chalk long pole stabbed from all directions, Ji Bohu was not afraid, holding a long shield and a long pole and shouting a fierce battle, and the surrounding enemy troops could not get close for a while.

The soldiers of the black formation here saw that the main general was surrounded, and knew that if the main general was killed, the battle would be lost, so they intensified their attacks more and more, wanting to break through the barrier of the white formation and respond to the main general. For a while, the two battle formations collided together, the shields struck, and the long poles slapped randomly.

The onlookers didn't expect the battle to be so fierce at the beginning, they didn't even test each other's attacks, and they were already in a life-and-death situation, and they all watched the battle nervously, and they even forgot to cheer for a while.

The battle was dusty, and the son stood on tiptoe to look, but he couldn't see clearly, so he asked Ya Li beside him: "Ya Li, how are they fighting?" ”

Crow Li didn't look back and said, "It's already a life and death situation." On the side of the black formation, the main general is under siege, and if you want to win, it depends on whether their main general can withstand it, and see if their soldiers can break through the white formation as soon as possible and take the main general back to their own formation. The white formation will see if it can withstand the attack of the black formation's soldiers, and eat the black formation's striker and main general as soon as possible, and as soon as the black formation's main general dies, the white formation will win. ”

"So, now is the white array dominant?"

"Not really, the black formation seems to be surrounded by the main general, and the fate hangs by a thread, but the black formation also uses their main general to contain most of the forces of the white formation, and now the white formation is using the limited strength of the periphery to resist the attack of the main force of the black formation, if the white formation cannot take the main general of the black formation as soon as possible, I am afraid that after the peripheral forces are defeated, there is a danger of annihilation."

"Then ......" Xizi hesitated, "Can you see which person is in which position?" ”

"Huh?" Ya Li turned his head and said strangely: "Looking at their battle formation, the main thing is to look at the formation layout, troop scheduling, and temporary command...... Do you want to see the soldier fight clearly? Belch...... Who do you want to see? ”

"I didn't ...... I don't want to see who ......" Xizi's face turned red, and he hurriedly pretended to look at the formation as if nothing happened.

At this time, Zhong Qi was already a little unbearable. He held a long shield in both hands, and stood on the outermost periphery of the white formation with his comrades, and the opponent's countless long poles slapped and stabbed at his side, hitting the shield so that his hands were numb, and he was also hit by a few strokes on his legs and feet, which hurt his heart. At this time, Ji Hao's command voice came from behind, and he shouted that the soldiers who were guarding the main general behind the formation were sending reinforcements to the front, and loudly encouraged the soldiers and told them that the main general of the black formation was about to be annihilated. Zhong Qi gritted his teeth and resisted stubbornly. The comrades behind him also fought back with long poles, and the people on both sides shouted loudly.

At this time, several people behind the white array shouted at the same time: "Ji Bohu is 'dead'!" Ji Bohu is 'dead'! ”

When everyone in the black formation heard this, the offensive was sluggish. There were already soldiers in the black formation who looked at each other, not knowing whether they would continue to fight.

Suddenly, someone in the center of the white array shouted: "Fart! The voice unexpectedly drowned out the soldiers of the white array. Then there was a commotion in the center of the white array, and several long poles and shields were provoked and flew high.

It turned out that Ji Hao saw that the black array was attacking fiercely, so he asked the people around him to shout loudly, lying that Ji Bohu was killed in battle to hit the morale of the black array. Here, Ji Bohu heard the enemy's screams, and he was so angry that he raised his divine power to pick up a few of the long-pole shields of the surrounding enemies.

Seeing that their main general was unharmed, the soldiers of the black array regained their spirits and launched a fierce attack on the white array. The soldiers of the white array also fought to the death, and the two sides held each other.

The general who was watching the battle next to him shook his head and muttered to himself: "The long pole is too long, it can only be used to stab, as long as the opponent's shield formation is dense, it will be difficult to break through in a short time." If it is a real battlefield, at this time, it should be arranged for someone to hold a short-bladed round shield, and cut the legs and feet of the shield bearer in the front row to open the gap. If there were more chariots attacking from both flanks, it would not be difficult to break through this formation. ”

A few first-year students next to him heard that this senior was analyzing and commenting on the top, so they gathered around and listened to the general's explanation while watching the battle situation.

At this time, there was a burst of cheers from the formation, and it turned out that the soldiers of the black formation relied on the numerical advantage to squeeze out a gap in the front of the white formation, broke through the front line to the main general encirclement, and converged with Ji Bohu. Half of the soldiers who blocked the attack on the periphery of the white formation were killed, and Ji Hao had to readjust the formation, gathering the crane wing formation into a square circle, and retreating while fighting.

The strikers of the black formation were almost killed, and only Ji Bohu was left as a main general, and Ji Bohu was more warlike. The siege of the main general was lifted, and the morale of the soldiers of the black formation was greatly boosted, and they besieged the white formation under the leadership of Ji Bohu. The white array continued to resist stubbornly under the leadership of Ji Hao, but the casualties were too large before, after all, the number was limited, and after a while, more than half of the number of people died under the onslaught of the black formation, and they were judged defeated by the division.

The offensive and defensive battles ended, the black team won, the students of the black team cheered loudly, and the onlookers around also cheered loudly.

The teacher instructed the students to reline for an after-class evaluation. The students of the black formation were all elated, and the students of the white formation were all depressed.

Shi Li stood in front of the student team with his hands behind his back, waited for the students' noise to stop, and said with a calm face: "In this sparring exercise, the white array battle formation is reasonably arranged, the strategy is used properly, and the command and dispatch are well-organized, and it is rated as middle and upper." He stared at Ji Bohu, and said: "The layout of the black array is reversed, the strategy and tactics are unclear, and the command and dispatch are chaotic, so it is rated inferior." ”

As soon as these words came out, the students in the black array were in an uproar, and Ji Bohu was even more unconvinced, shouting: "This is not fair! Why did we win or be inferior? ”

Shi Li shouted: "Give me silence!" There was a sudden silence among the students.

Shi Li walked up to Ji Bohu with his hands behind his back and said, "Why do you ask?" Then let me ask you, as the main general, you do not command the battle in the formation, but run to the forward to rush and kill, what kind of formation are you? Have you ever seen a commander give up command and run to the striker position? Isn't your battle formation upside down? ”

Ji Bohu was stunned, and Shi Li said again: "You are a master general who charges ahead, and the enemy is expected to be the first, and you are surrounded by ambushes, do you have a tactical plan for operations before the battle?" How to fight the charge? How to break the siege? How to win? How to defend the defeat? ”

Ji Bohu said: "I'...... I ......" even said a few words of me, but I couldn't say anything else.

Shi Tuo continued: "Throughout the battle, you, the main general, were surrounded by the enemy's formation, isolated from this formation, how can you command your army? ”

"Uh...... This ......"

"This is also the sparring among your students, there are only shields and long poles, if it is a real battlefield, the enemy shoots thousands of arrows, you don't know how many times you have died!" Shi Tuo pointed at Ji Bohu, split his head and scolded: "You erection, you will not be a general, the soldiers do not know the soldiers, and the whole battle was beaten to a mess by you." This is only a battle formation of forty people, and you can still support it for a while with your own martial arts, but what if it is four hundred, four thousand, forty thousand? Stepping on it will also trample you into a pulp! You die alone, but I am afraid that you will be so tired that the tens of millions of soldiers behind you will also be buried on the battlefield with you, tired of the country and family, and tired of the people's livelihood! ”

Shi Li sneered: "Now that I'm here, just giving you an inferior comment is already ten million times better." How, can you still be dissatisfied? ”

Ji Bohu was scolded in a cold sweat, and immediately bowed down and kowtowed: "Mr. has taught a lesson, and the student has been taught." ”

All the students in the imperial class also looked solemn. Shi Tu looked around and said to everyone: "Soldiers are a major matter of the country, and it is the way for the survival of the family and the country. You are the king of a country in the future, and you must be diligent and cautious in this way, and you must not have a playful heart, so as not to mislead the country and the people. ”

All the students bowed down and said in unison, "Follow the teachings of Mr. ”

The onlookers around were also solemn. Su Kuang looked at the students around him and nodded. He walked up to the teacher and saluted: "Brother Gaoyi, the old man has also been taught today." ”

Shi Li hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Don't dare, don't dare." Then he said to the students: "This is the end of today's imperial class, you remember to practice diligently after class, and we will practice 'passing the king's table' and 'dancing in the next imperial class', you can prepare in advance." ”

Everyone claimed that it was, and the teacher waved his hand and said, "Class!" ”

Su Kuang pulled the teacher and said, "It's getting late, it's time to drink." The two laughed and walked away.

Seeing that Mr. had gone away, the students dispersed. The yearlings saw the wonderful battle battle today, and they all talked excitedly while walking. The two or thirteen students who had gone through the battle formation training all had backaches, and the sounds of pain came and went, and they helped each other to walk towards the hall.

Zhong Qi was rubbed with a chalk rod on his forehead, and a large piece of skin fell off, and he hissed and inhaled in pain. Bo Jiang and Ji Bohu accompanied him back to the museum to find a medical officer to deal with him, walking and walking, I don't know what to say, Bo Jiang suddenly reached out and pressed Zhong Qi's wound, Zhong Qi jumped to his feet in pain, and Bo Jiang and Ji Bohu laughed next to him.

The woman's heart is careful, whenever there is a class of outdoor sports such as archery, the son will prepare a pack of wound medicine in case of emergency. At this time, Xizi looked at Zhong Qi jumping and jumping in the distance, and was thinking about whether to send medicine over. But looking at the people around him, he remembered the ridicule of those people before, and hesitated. After a while, everyone walked away, and the boy was also pulled back by the crow. The package of medicine was not delivered in the end.

The day of field hunting is the most lively day of the year in Biyong Pavilion. All the teachers and students of the museum came to the hunting ground, in front of them were twenty chariots lined up, behind the cars students lined up in a phalanx, the flags fluttered in the car, and the voices of people were boiling.

Ji Bohu stood on the left side of a chariot, full of ambition, and he assumed the position of the head of the chariot, responsible for commanding the chariot and its attendants. Tian Hunt is based on the actual combat mode to configure the lineup, and the gentlemen will assign the students' positions according to the students' performance in the two classes on weekdays, and Ji Bohu is the only one in the second year. Last year's Tian Hunting, he became a car right as a year, and he has already set a record, and this year he has set a new record for the youngest leader, which makes Ji Bohu full of confidence, and he is just waiting to show his skills.

The position of the general is the apprentice behind the car. The annual field hunt is for all the students in the hall to participate, and there is no way to avoid it, so he has to hold a fishing net and a throwing gun, and lazily stand with those year-rounders.

Zhong Qi's position was the drummer, and he tied his sleeves with ropes, exposing his two arms. He will beat the war drums with two other men and assist the gentlemen in relaying the message of command to the battle formation.

The female students did not participate in this year's field hunting, and although Wang Ji expressed strong dissatisfaction with this and lost her temper, the attitude of the deputy priest was resolute and could not be changed. So the female students were arranged in two cars with parasol covers, and observed the field hunt on the periphery, not far from Zhong Qi's drum car.

The autumn breeze is blowing, and the flag is hunting. The deputy priest ploughs the father and the old gentleman to lift the car and pray. Shi Li looked up at the sky, the sun was shining, and there was not a trace of clouds in the clear blue sky. After the prayer of the deputy priest was finished, Shi Li and Su Kuang walked to the car of the deputy priest and said, "The deputy priest, you can start." The old man nodded, a long horn sounded, Zhong Qi beat the war drums, the Tian Hunting Army formation of the Biyong Pavilion slowly started in the sound of drums and horns, twenty chariots ran in different directions under the command of the Ling Qi, the apprentices behind the car followed closely, and more than a dozen cavalry rode back and forth in the formation, waving the Ling Qi to convey orders.

The birds and beasts in the hunting grounds were alarmed and began to flee in all directions. These twenty chariot masters were all skilled at "chasing the bird to the left", and were able to drive the prey to the left side of the chariot in a gallop, so that the armor leader on the left side of the chariot could shoot the prey with a bow and arrow. At this time, a deer has been driven to the left of Ji Bohu, the distance is only a few zhang away, Ji Bohu opened his bow and set up an arrow, before releasing the arrow, he looked at it carefully, but took off the arrow, and shot an arrow at the deer, the deer was frightened by the sound of the bowstring, jumped and ran away. Ji Bohu turned his head and said loudly to the emperor: "It's a pregnant doe!" The Emperor nodded, indicating that he understood, and drove after the next prey.

The general stood on a high slope, with the throwing gun in his hand, and watched the chariots galloping vertically and horizontally, and the people and beasts were noisy and bustling. The two year-olds next to him were unknown, so they asked the general: "Senior, aren't you going to hunt?" General Bo looked at them and said leisurely: "Hunting birds and beasts is just practicing 'skills'. I'm here to watch the 'trend'. The skill is easy to achieve, but the momentum is not easy to understand. As a general, in the battle array, it is impossible to observe. The two yearlings glanced at each other, and said in their hearts that this guy was lazy and full of truth, so they stopped caring about him and drove the prey by themselves.

Zhong Qi rubbed his sore arm, at this time, the battle situation of the hunt has stabilized, he can take a break, seeing that the big circle of the encirclement has gradually formed, he wants to accumulate strength and prepare to beat the dense drum at the moment of the encirclement, so as to motivate the soldiers in the hunt. Zhong Qi peeked at the female student's car not far away, feeling a trace of regret in his heart. This year's Tian Hunt had female students watching, and the male students were all holding back their energy, ready to perform in front of the female students, and Zhong Qi was no exception. Who would have thought that he would be placed in the position of drummer and not be able to show his skills in the hunting ground, Zhong Qi could only sigh secretly. But fortunately, he is easy-going by nature, and he doesn't care too much, since he has been arranged to beat the drum, he must beat this war drum well. When the sound of the war drums sounded, Zhong Qi's intention to be good at drumming in the sacrificial blood of the Tao country was stimulated, and after a few drums, he felt hearty, but this trace of regret was washed away.

Most of the time has passed, and the circle of encirclement has been formed and gradually narrowed. The moose, deer, rabbits, foxes, and other wild beasts that were driven into the enclosure rushed left and right in the human hunting circle, but they were stopped by chariots, knights, and apprentices, and could not escape the circle. According to the Zhou etiquette, do not catch young beasts in field hunting, do not pick bird eggs, do not kill pregnant beasts, do not hurt young beasts that have not grown up, do not destroy bird nests, and the students surround the prey, but do not kill immediately, and release the remaining prey in the encircled beasts that cannot be killed, as the record of this field hunt.

The hunt has come to an end, and the students are excited to have something to offer. At this time, there was the sound of geese chirping in the sky, and a line of geese flew by. Ji Bohu stood on the car with a bow and arrows, and when an arrow was shot, a wild goose fell in response to the sound and fell into the forest in the distance. The surrounding students cheered in unison, and two chariots galloped towards the woods with their apprentices.

Ji Bohu's chariot drove to the edge of the forest, and heard the sound of geese chirping in the forest, as if the wild goose that had been hit by the arrow had not died. Ji Bohu jumped out of the chariot and was about to go into the forest to pick up prey, when he suddenly heard someone calling him, and followed the sound, but it turned out to be the general coming.

Ji Bohu smiled and said: "General, you came just in time, I just shot a wild goose, follow me to get it." ”

General Bo rushed to Ji Bohu's side, picked out his thumb and praised: "Good archery!" I saw you shoot the goose from afar, and I came to look for you. ”

Ji Bohu said: "Then let's go." ”

"Don't rush yet." Bo Jiang saw that the surrounding students had already walked into the forest, so he pulled Ji Bohu and whispered: "This field hunting, I didn't have any hunting, I see that your brother is crisscrossing and scramping, presumably he has gained a lot, can you give me one or two evenly, so that my grades are not so ugly?" ”

Ji Bohu laughed, patted the general and said, "What should I do, what's so difficult about this." I have more than a dozen prey in my car, you can pick them at will. ”

When the general heard this, he put his heart at ease, and said with a hammer on Ji Bohu's shoulder: "Enough fun!" ”

Ji Bohu said: "Let's pick up the goose first." ”

The general said goodbye, and walked into the forest with Ji Bohu, looking for the goose that was shot down.

Everyone searched in the forest, and a high-pitched and clear goose chirped again. Someone said: "Over there!" And they followed the voice. After walking a few steps, Bo Jiang suddenly felt that something was wrong, he grabbed Ji Bohu and asked, "You shot that goose just now, have you seen where the arrow was?" ”

Ji Bohu said: "I saw it clearly, and an arrow hit the neck." ”

"That's not right," muttered the general...... "the arrow hit the neck, and fell from such a high place, and he should be dead by now...... But listening to this cry is full of anger...... And it's a little too loud......"

"Whatever," Ji Bohu said, "Just go and see." ”

After walking more than ten steps forward, Ji Bohu stopped and said, "Why do you seem to ...... Someone is watching me......"

General Bo was shocked when he heard this, and some clues seemed to flash in his mind, and he thought hard, but he couldn't grasp it. At this time, another loud goose chirped sound, and the sound was close to the left.

A student in front of me shouted, "It's almost there, over here." Ji Bohu hurried towards where the voice came from. Bo Jiang suddenly thought of something and exclaimed: "Not good! ”

But it was already late, and there were two exclamations in front, Ji Bohu ran over, turned two big trees, and a monster appeared in front of him. This monster is huge, about two feet high, more than three feet long, with four horns on its head, ears like wild boars, and the most bizarre thing is that it actually has a pair of eyes similar to humans. The monster had already knocked over the two students who had arrived first, and the two fell to the ground without knowing it, and the monster was opening a huge mouth and biting at one of them. Seeing that the situation was urgent, Ji Bohu rushed forward with a loud shout, grabbed the monster's horns with both hands, and tried hard to knock it down. The monster raised its head and shook it like that, and Ji Bohu was thrown out like a cloth bag and hit a tree, falling to the ground and not moving.

At this time, the general also arrived, and saw Ji Bohu being thrown away by the monster.

"Run! Run! Run! The general screamed loudly, turned and ran, "This ...... This is fucking Zhuhuai......"

The monster was attracted by the general's cry, and raised its head and let out a hissing sound, which turned out to be the sound of geese that everyone had heard before. The monster spread its hooves and chased after the general. The general ran to the side of a tree, and climbed to the tree, and the monster ran over and slammed into the tree where the general was, and the trunk of the waist-thick tree broke in response, and the upper half of the tree slowly fell. As soon as the trunk hit the ground, a skeleton rolled out, got up and continued to run, and the monster chased after him.

The general ran without a price, and he heard the sound of broken branches behind him, and he only hated that he didn't exercise well and didn't run fast enough at the moment.

The voice of the monster behind him was getting closer and closer, and the general's eyes suddenly lit up, and he had already run out of the woods, and the two chariots were parked at the edge of the forest. The general jumped into a chariot and rushed to the hunting ground with all his might, shouting: "There are monsters!" Fast...... Go and save people! ”

The monster also rushed out of the woods, and ran after the general's chariot, and its speed was not inferior to that of the galloping horse.

The people in the hunting ground saw that someone was being chased by monsters, and several chariots turned around to meet the general. Seeing that someone answered, the general finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The armor heads on several chariots fired arrows at the monsters, but they were all blocked by the monsters shaking their huge horns, and a few of them shot at the monsters, but they couldn't get into them, and they fell down one after another. The emperor drove the chariot close to the monster, and the right side of the chariot hooked the monster with a halberd, but the monster's skin was as hard as a rock, and the sharp red gold halberd slashed through, leaving only a mark, but it could not break the flesh and skin.

A few chariots came to the aid of the follow-up, and the rangers and apprentices who followed had also arrived, and everyone surrounded the monster, shouting loudly, and throwing nets and throwing guns in their hands, but they could not hurt the monster in the slightest. The monster was provoked to frenzy, and in a moment it picked up several more people.

The schoolgirls outside the hunting ground saw the dust in the distance, and the faint shouts of people came, and their voices were eager, but they couldn't see what was going on, and they talked about it for a while. Xizi felt that something was not right, and pulled Ya Li and said, "Ya Li, have you found it?" How come we seem to be missing someone......"

Ya Li was climbing on the car and looking at the hunting ground in the distance, and he didn't care about his son's words, and said: "Don't worry about the lack of people, there seems to be something big happening in the hunting ground." ”

Shi Yu and Su Kuang saw that the situation was different from a distance, and hurriedly drove to check. At this time, the circle of the monster was getting smaller and smaller, the monster snorted heavily, his eyes were blood-red, and he suddenly raised his head and neighed, and with a force, he knocked a chariot and his horse to the ground, crossed the chariot, and broke out of the encirclement.

The monster ran wildly, leaving everyone's chariots and rangers behind, and crashed head-on into Shi Tuo and Su Kuang's chariots. With a flick of the reins, the four horses spun in a light circle as they galloped, and led the cart to avoid the monster. The monster continued to speed and rushed straight towards the car where the female students were.

The schoolgirls finally saw such a vicious monster rushing towards them, and some of them were so frightened that they couldn't move, and could only scream in horror. Seeing that the monster was getting closer and closer, it was about to crash into the schoolgirl's car, and a figure ran from the spur and blocked between the schoolgirl and the monster. Xizi took a closer look and saw that this person was Zhong Qi.

Zhong Qi held a long shield in both hands, and just set up the shield, the monster had already rushed in, and collided with the shield, and two forbidden blue lights lit up on the shield, and the shield dissipated in an instant, and the shield could not withstand the force of the impact, and it was scattered and scattered. Zhong Qi was thrown up by this force and fell heavily in front of the female student's car, Zhong Qi only felt a sweet throat, and a stream of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

The monster was blocked by the shield, and also stopped, shook its head in place, found the person blocking it in front of it, hissed, ran to Zhong Qi, raised its two front hooves high and stepped on Zhong Qi.

Zhong Qi fell, only felt that the limbs of his body were in pain everywhere, and he couldn't move, seeing the monster's two huge hooves stepping heavily on him, he could only close his eyes and die. There was a strong wind from above, but there was no expected pain, Zhong Qi opened his eyes and saw a blue water shield blocking in front of him, and the two hooves of the monster stepped the water shield down into a large piece, and stopped in front of Zhong Qi.

The "source" pattern on the shoulders of Ya Li on the car flashed, her forehead was full of sweat, and she was wrestling with the water shield and the monster, she saw that Zhong Qi was still not moving under the water shield, and couldn't help shouting: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up, I can't support it anymore." ”

Zhong Qi tried his best to let himself roll to the side. The "source" pattern on the crow's shoulder flashed a few times, and it dimmed, and the water shield finally couldn't withstand the power of the monster, and it suddenly dispersed into countless water droplets, and the monster's front hooves stepped heavily on the ground where Zhong Qi was just now, stepping out two deep hoof prints.

Zhong Qi rolled not far away, and he no longer had any strength, so he could only gasp for breath. Ya Li was also gasping for breath in the car, and the wrestling with the monster had exhausted her strength, and she couldn't make another water shield at this time.

Seeing that the trampling could not be done, the monster ran towards Zhong Qi again, opening its huge mouth and biting Zhong Qi. An arrow shot in the distance, hitting the monster in one eye, and the monster took a few steps back before feeling the pain, and jumped in place, hissing loudly.

Ya Li looked at the place where the arrow came from, and it turned out that Su Kuang saw that the situation was urgent, and shot an arrow from a hundred steps away, hitting the monster's eye and saving Zhong Qi.

The monster stopped, it didn't see who hurt it, and could only attribute all its anger to the human closest to it. The monster let out a heavy snort, and the only remaining eye was fixed on Zhong Qi not far away, approaching Zhong Qi step by step.

Zhong Qi saw the monster approaching, and tried his best to get up, but suddenly it darkened in front of him, and a figure stood in front of him. Zhong Qi looked intently and recognized that the thin figure in front of him was Wu Ji, the assistant teacher of the charm class.

Wu Ji held a piece of pothos and pressed it on the ground, only to hear a rumbling sound underground, and in an instant, a thick vine rhizome rushed out of the ground, firmly binding the monster. The monster was trapped by the vines growing underground, hissing, struggling to break free, the doctor of the stargazing class Lu Kui rushed to press a rune on the monster's head, the rune was contaminated with the monster, it merged into the monster's flesh, the monster's whole body gradually stiffened, and after a while, it couldn't move.

Shi Li and Su Kuang arrived and instructed the students who followed behind them to take out the ropes to tie up the monster.

The car of the deputy priest Mr. Plough also arrived, and Mr. Plough looked at the bound monster and asked, "What kind of monster is this?" ”

Lu Kui stepped forward and said: "Deputy Priest, this beast is called Zhuhuai, it was originally a strange beast that grew on Beiyue Mountain, but it appeared in this Zhou land for some reason...... Lu Kui thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid there is something strange here." ”

Mr. Plough asked again, "Are there any students who are injured?" ”

Shi Li said: "This monster is vicious, and it has injured more than a dozen people. ”

Mr. Plough said, "Hurry up and heal someone." Shi Li and Su Kuang took the order and left.

Here Zhong Qi regained some strength, sat up, and suddenly felt a pain in his left arm, and when he turned his head to look, he found that his left arm had been cut at some point, and half of his arm had been bleeding.

Wu Ji saw Zhong Qi's injury and was about to call the medical officer, but saw a figure running down from the car, running to Zhong Qi's side, taking out the wound medicine in his arms, and bandaging Zhong Qi carefully with a cyan cloth.

Ya Li propped his head on the car and looked at the son below to bandage Zhong Qi's wounds, and then looked at his arm without sleeves, and sighed in his heart: "You girl, next time you have to remember that when you bring wound medicine, you must also bring a cloth for bandaging." ”

After the field hunt, there will be an autumn vacation in a few days. The day before the autumn break, Wu Ji called Zhong Qi to his residence.

"How are you recovering?" Wu Ji said as he handed a glass of water to Zhong Qi.

"It's just a skin injury, it's out of the way." Zhong Qi didn't know what Wu Ji had called him for, and he rubbed the pottery cup a little uneasily, and the familiar touch from his hand made him feel a little relieved.

"You were hit head-on by Zhuhuai, but I am afraid that you will hurt your internal organs, can you ask the medical officer for detailed diagnosis and treatment?"

"I have asked the medical officer to see it, and there are some minor shock injuries to the five organs, which are not serious. The doctor said that I was young and strong, as long as I avoided cold meat, I would be fine for a few days of recuperation. ”

"Well, that's fine." Wu Ji nodded and said, "The shield you used to block Zhuhuai that day, was the forbidden rune on it drawn by yourself?" ”

"Yes. It's just that I didn't draw well in a hurry, and I was hit by the monster and it dissipated. ”

"In that kind of urgent situation, it is already very good to be able to draw the correct forbidden runes." Wu Ji praised: "It seems that you have practiced seriously on weekdays. ”

"Yes, Mr. teaches well." Zhong Qi said a little embarrassedly: "After this incident, I will practice harder in the future." ”

"Very good." Wu Ji took a sip of water, but stopped talking. Zhong Qi saw that Mr. didn't say anything, and he didn't want to ask what was going on, so he waited for Wu Ji to speak, and there was a short silence between the two.

After a while, Wu Ji finally spoke: "I once practiced in the Pan Palace in Kunlun Mountain for some time, and at that time, I had a classmate who practiced together, and his name was Boyang. Wu Ji paused for a moment, and then said, "If my expectations are right, Boyang should be your eldest brother, right?" ”

Zhong Qi didn't expect that Mr. still had such a relationship with his brother, and he was a little stunned, and said, "Yes, Bo Yang is my brother." ”

Wu Jiluo raised his head, as if thinking about how to phrase it, and said, "Your brother...... Before he died, he left something with me. He didn't forbid me to look at what he left behind, so ...... I know a little bit about him. ”

Zhong Qi stared at Wu Ji with wide eyes, and Wu Ji continued: "Your brother's relics, I don't know if it is beneficial or harmful to you at this time, so I have been hesitating to tell you about it. ”

Wu Ji took another sip of water and said, "Since you entered school, I have been observing you to see what kind of person you are. If you are just a mediocre person, and this relic can only be harmful to you, I will hide this secret and never tell it again. If you can have enough wisdom, courage and responsibility, then I will hand over this relic to you. ”

Zhong Qi knew that Wu Ji could ask himself to say these words, indicating that he should have passed Wu Ji's test, and he held his breath and listened to what Wu Ji was going to say next.

"You didn't let me down." Wu Ji really said: "You can break the ban we set up in the dormitory for female students, which proves that you have enough wisdom. Wu Ji stared at Zhong Qi and said, "But this wisdom of yours should be used in the right way, don't be clever." ”

Zhong Qi's face turned red, he originally wanted to say that the matter of breaking the ban was done by the uncle, but he was taught a lesson by Mr. later, if he said so, he was afraid that Mr. would think that he was shirking, so he had to say honestly: "Yes, the student understands." ”

Wu Ji said: "I put you in the position of the drummer, and the other two drummers can't be willing to do everything without doing their best." Only you, although you are also unwilling, can still devote yourself to the work of a drummer, and can play the drum seriously and responsibly, which shows that you are a responsible person. ”

"Zhuhuai is a monster with infinite strength, and this monster runs and collides, and even a wide and sturdy chariot can be knocked over by it, which can be described as invincible. You are faced with this monster, and being able to stand before the weak and fight to block it has proven that you have enough courage. ”

"Wisdom, courage, and responsibilityβ€”I think I can entrust you with your brother's relics."

After Wu Ji finished speaking, he took a wooden box from behind him and handed it over with both hands. Zhong Qi bowed down, raised his hands above his head, and respectfully accepted the wooden box.

Wu Ji stared at Zhong Qi and said, "Bo Yang's relics, I have already handed them over to you, but I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse for you...... After you see what's inside, it's up to you to do what you want. If there's anything you need my help with, just come to me. ”

Zhong Qi kowtowed to Wu Ji and said, "Mr. Xie is noble! ”

After saying these words, Wu Ji seemed to be very tired, and he stopped talking, only waved his hand to Zhong Qi, signaling that he could go. Zhong Qi respectfully saluted Wu Ji and withdrew from his residence.

On the second day, Bo Jiang and Ji Bohu had already gone home from autumn vacation, Zhong Qi bathed and changed clothes, put the wooden box on the top of the house, burned a stick of incense, and bowed three times in front of the wooden box before solemnly opening the wooden box. Inside the wooden box are two rolls of bamboo slips, one of which is inscribed with words on the outside, and the other is not written on the outside. Zhong Qi picked up the bamboo slip without the inscription, unfolded it and read, reading and reading, the expression on Zhong Qi's face gradually became solemn.
