Chapter 124: Xiao Yunhe Enters the Field
In the blink of an eye, the barbarians were victorious.
Xiao Yunhe, who had been looking nervously at the scene on the field, his face changed suddenly.
"Alas, why can't it work so soon? It's a shame!" Xie Datou on the side also felt sorry, and the sighs of the surrounding soldiers also came and went.
"It's okay, this is the first game, two wins in three games, as long as the next two games can be pulled back, it's okay. Although Xiao Yunhe was also full of disappointment, he still smiled reluctantly and comforted Xie Datou.
"In the next two games, it's still that kid who comes! In the past few years, how could there be such a face-to-face kid in our back camp, and he lost the first game so quickly, which really disgraced the face of our back camp! If the next game is still as uncompetitive as now, what can we do if we compare two more games?" Xie Datou was not as optimistic as Xiao Yunhe looked.
"He seems to be injured...... Xiao Yunhe kept looking at the scene on the field, and suddenly muttered at this time.
Xie Datou looked up and looked ahead, and sure enough, it had been a long time, and the knight of the rear camp who had fallen off the horse still did not get up from the ground, and was still lying motionless on the ground.
The people on the field suddenly grabbed their hearts.
Someone went up to check on it, and then someone carried the knight down who was lying on the ground.
This scene was watched by the countless soldiers around the scene, and suddenly the discussion "buzzed".
"Look at the people of your eighth battalion, you have this kind of cowardice and softness! At the beginning, you were knocked off your horse and knocked yourself unconscious! We have been the boss of the rear camp for so long, and now we have to be at the bottom!" someone said indignantly to others.
"You can scold him, why are you scolding us from the Eighth Battalion? That kid is not from our Eighth Battalion in the first place, he was transferred from the Sixth Battalion only a few months ago! We don't want him, he was forced in! He is not a member of our Eighth Battalion at all, he is not angry, what are we doing?" Some people were not convinced.
"Okay, don't talk about those useless ones, it doesn't matter which battalion he belongs to, now that he is lying down, let's go to the back camp, we can't think of the bottom this year! Look at it, when I see the people of those two battalions in the future, everyone will walk with their tails between their legs! This year, it's over!" someone lamented.
"Alas, how could you choose this kind of goods to play?
......
The sigh continued, full of pessimism.
Xiao Yunhe did not join this group, and now, what kept swirling in his mind was the scene of the battle between the two just now.
Although the distance of the force was a little farther just now, with Xiao Yunhe's super eyesight, he could still see every detail of the battle between the two people clearly.
Xiao Yunhe had forgotten to regret it, and all he was thinking about now was every detail of the two of them just fighting.
Two people have one win and one loss, the winner is still showing off his strength on the field, and the loser is already lying down.
But in Xiao Yunhe's view, in a certain way, the two people are actually the same.
They also attacked each other in the form of cavalry charges, and the same weapons were used.
Xiao Yunhe had also been in contact with horseback riding before, and in the ten days that he had followed Yu Wenxuan on the road, he felt that his horseback riding level had improved greatly.
But after watching the performance of the two just now, he realized that he was actually far behind.
Running on horseback, that's not difficult. But the reason why the cavalry is the king of the battlefield is not only because the cavalry has four more hooves than the infantry, but also in terms of strength, especially in the frontal charge, the cavalry has a huge advantage that the infantry cannot match.
That is the horse under the crotch, the unity of man and horse, not just an empty word.
In the beginning. Both of them were circling in circles, picking up speed little by little, knowing that they were the last to charge.
This is actually the two sides are increasing the speed of the horse, but they can't improve it immediately, but use a little time as a buffer, and when the kinetic energy accumulates to the highest, they can charge again, so that the horse can exert the maximum impact.
And when the two of them really fought, Xiao Yunhe finally saw the power of the long weapon.
When he came to the barracks before, Xiao Yunhe once had a fight with Shan Zhen.
In that battle, Xiao Yunhe still used his most accustomed empty-handed opponent to fight the enemy, although the final result was not very ugly, but Xiao Yunhe already felt the lack of empty-handed against the enemy.
At that time, there was no real understanding, because at that time, Shan Zhen actually didn't take Xiao Yunhe very seriously, carelessly underestimated the enemy, and didn't leave a deep impression on Xiao Yunhe.
And now, after watching the battle between the two, Xiao Yunhe finally realized his shortcomings obviously.
When you're on a horse and facing the enemy's lunging spears, how do you deal with them with two fists?
Xiao Yunhe has always been proud of his physical strength, but his body is still a human body, and in the face of such a long weapon sprint with horse strength, he really can't think of any effective countermeasures.
When facing ordinary people, he can still pick them up empty-handed and unscathed. But if the other party's cultivation surpasses his own, and he still has a sharp blade in his hand, his own body is not so reliable.
Flesh and blood are always flesh and blood, and when the other party is standing on the same level or higher, and he is empty-handed, he is really a little overwhelmed.
Xiao Yunhe frowned and pondered, weighing whether he wanted to learn how to use a spear. Suddenly, I felt that my shoulder was pounded several times.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yunhe came back to his senses and found that Xie Datou was pounding his shoulders elbow by elbow, and quickly jumped away to avoid his next elbow.
"General Shan called you!" Xie Datou looked at Xiao Yunhe with a strange expression.
"Really?" Xiao Yunhe realized that at some point, there were two soldiers standing in front of him who had never seen him, and they looked like they were the guards next to the general.
"You are Xiao Yunhe, General Shan wants to summon you and come with us!" the two soldiers said together, their voices exactly the same, as if they were talking to a person.
"Looking for me?" Xiao Yunhe was stunned, at this time, what was Shan Zhen looking for himself?
The two soldiers did not satisfy Xiao Yunhe's curiosity, and after conveying the order, they turned around and left.
Not only did the two soldiers speak in the same tone, but they also walked and walked in a uniform pace, like two marionettes.
They didn't monitor Xiao Yunhe at all, they believed that none of the soldiers in this barracks dared to disobey military orders. And Xiao Yunhe really followed behind them as they thought, although he had only been here for two days, he still understood the minimum guidelines in the barracks.
Xiao Yunhe wanted to ask Shan Zhen what he was looking for him, but looking at the two identical backs of his head in front of him, he opened his mouth several times, and in the end he could only reluctantly close it.
Forget it, Shan Zhen won't harm himself anyway, let's go and see what the hell he's doing.
Xiao Yunhe didn't notice how weird Xie Datou looked at him when he was leaving. Some worries, some envy, and some pity.
I can't believe that a person like Xie Datou can have such complex emotional eyes.
It's a pity, it's a pity, Xiao Yunhe didn't notice this detail at all.
Confused, he was led to the front stand, and the two soldiers in front flashed to the sides, and Xiao Yunhe saw Shan Zhen's face with a mysterious smile.
I don't know why, he seems to feel that there seems to be bad intentions in Shan Zhen's smile.
There was a warning in his heart, but when he saw his top boss, Xiao Yunhe still strode forward according to the rules, knelt on the ground in front of Shan Zhen, and said loudly: "Xiao Yunhe of the fourth battalion, meet the general!"
"Well, you get up first!" Shan Zhen said lightly, at this time, who could still see that this person with a majestic face was the ruffian general who was drunk and spilled with dirty words before?
"You've seen the competition just now, haven't you?" Seeing Xiao Yunhe standing aside with his head down, Shan Zhen asked again.
"Yes!" Xiao Yunhe promised loudly.
"That's good, you go down and settle the next two games!" Shan Zhen waved his hand and said unhurriedly.
"Huh?" Xiao Yunhe looked up in surprise, and met Shan Zhen's smiling eyes.
"There's no way, I fainted in the first game, and there are two more games below, so you can't just give up, right? You go down and prepare well, if you lose, you don't have to come back to see me!" Shan Wei waved his hand, leaned his body back, and stopped looking at Xiao Yunhe.
"Huh?" Xiao Yunhe was still stunned.
"Didn't you hear me clearly, do you need me to repeat it again?" Shan Zhen implicitly threatened.
"Yes!" Xiao Yunhe ran down without hesitation.
"Brother Shan Zhen, you seem to have a lot of confidence in this young man?" Xiao Yunhe ran down the stands, and a barbarian sitting on the side suddenly spoke.
"Where, this kid only came in the day before yesterday, what confidence can he have? The level of loss today is relatively large, but it doesn't matter, we have been winning for the past few years, and we are quite embarrassed. Let's be humble this year, it's better to take turns in feng shui!" Shan Zhen waved his hand and said generously.
"When did Brother Shan become so modest?" the barbarian leader asked rhetorically.
"I've always been like this, humble and polite, that's my merit!" Shan Zhen praised himself without blushing and heartbeat, which shows that his cheeky skills have reached the level of grandmaster.
"Yes, I've known you for more than ten years, and I've never found this kind of advantage in you, but it's a cheeky characteristic, I can see it!"
"That's because you don't know enough about me, in fact, I'm a good person, a very good person!" Shan Zhen cried out.
"Hmph!" the barbarian leader also knew Shan Yi very well, and snorted and didn't bother with him in this regard.
"It doesn't seem to be the same person before, right?" Shan Yi squinted his eyes and looked down, and suddenly said.
"Why, if you are only allowed to change people, we are not allowed to change people?" said the barbarian leader.
"Who are you changing?" Shan Zhen looked at the people below and felt a little familiar.
"This time, Xiao Qi will come to meet the elites of your back camp for a while!" said the barbarian leader with confidence.
"Ah, you ......" Shan Zhen was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he smiled, "You are really willing to ......"
"Hmph, I have been suppressed by your rear camp for so many years, how can I do it without paying a little price? But don't worry, Xiao Qi is measured, and he won't let the people in your rear camp lose too ugly!"
"Whoever loses ugly, it's not necessarily now!" Shan Zhen smiled mysteriously, leaned his body back in the chair again, and closed his eyes in contentment.
He heard a cold snort of disdain.
Off the field, Xiao Yunhe looked at the things in his hand and was a little dumbfounded.
He thought that he would compete like before, but he never thought that this second competition would actually have an archery competition.
Heaven and earth, I have lived for fifteen years, and I have touched all swords, guns, swords, and halberds, but when have I ever played with bows and arrows!
The first time Xiao Yunhe saw the bow and arrow, it was when Emperor Wu was in the secret collection, and the rhino moon arrows that Xu Guohuang brought were equipped with the rhino moon arrows, and strictly speaking, they were only arrows, because they were equipped with crossbows, and the crossbows were actually different from the bows in Xiao Yunhe's hands now.
Touching the completely unfamiliar weapon in his hand, Xiao Yunhe didn't know where to put it.
What the hell is this unobtrusive single-handedness? I can't even take it, so why should I endure the competition? Those barbarians are all proficient in riding and archery, so don't I, a novice, come here purely to be abused?
Xiao Yunhe cursed Shan Zhen fiercely in his heart, but unfortunately Shan Zhen couldn't receive his inner monologue at all, Xiao Yunhe cursed, and could only reluctantly step forward to accept his fate.
Xiao Yunhe stood in the competition position, and someone next to him led a horse.
"Do you want to ride a horse?" Xiao Yunhe was a little strange.
"This test is mounted archery, of course you have to ride a horse! On the battlefield in the northern frontier, why can you leave your horse?" Before the man leading the horse could reply, a very disdainful voice from the opposite side answered first.
Xiao Yunhe faintly felt a little harsh, and looked up.
Five meters in front of him, there stood a man and a horse, the horse was the same as the one beside him, both of them were military horses in the army.
The man on the horse was dressed as a barbarian, a tight-fitting light robe, covered with a layer of leather armor, and the scimitar on his back was even more conspicuous.
Seeing Xiao Yunhe looking up at him, the barbarian knight spoke again.
"What are you looking at? Later, you will definitely lose so much that you can't even find the north!" The words were very harsh, but the voice was very crisp and pleasant, as if he was not very old.
"I'm sorry, Bei, I think I can still find it!" Xiao Yunhe's state of mind was tempered for a long time, he smiled faintly, and did not get angry with him.
"Hmph! I don't shed tears if I don't see the coffin!"
Xiao Yunhe still ignored it with a light smile, turned over on his horse, and tied the bag of quivers in front of the saddle.
Then, Xiao Yunhe held the longbow in the palm of his hand again, imitated some scenes he had seen before, and pulled the bowstring.
Looking at Xiao Yunhe's clumsy movements, the barbarian knight laughed out loud.
"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Yunhe didn't know where he had gone wrong.
"The hand should be held in the middle of the bow arm, how can there be one like you? And when you try the string, can you not lift it so high? That's a bow, not a knife, why are you working so hard?" The barbarian knight counted Xiao Yunhe's shortcomings.
"Oh, thank you!" Xiao Yunhe immediately corrected his movements.
"Hey, have you ever learned archery?" the other asked.
"Uh...... Today is the first time!" Xiao Yunhe smiled awkwardly.
"You dare to come up if you haven't learned?" the barbarian knight snorted, looking at Xiao Yunhe's gaze suddenly turned into an idiot, "Your rear camp won't be so bad, right?
"Isn't it bad, try it on the field, won't you know?" Xiao Yunhe didn't like others to use the word "chick" to describe himself, and his expression was much more indifferent.
"I don't know if I'm alive or dead!!" The barbarian knight snorted coldly and said to the prison soldier next to him, who had been stunned, "Hey, can we start now?"
"Ahh......h Start!" The soldier was also scorched by Xiao Yunhe's thunderous words, and the soldier slowed down for a while before waving the flag in a panic to announce the start of the game.
The moment the yellow flag fell, the barbarian knight had already leaned down and rushed forward on horseback.
Xiao Yunhe slowed down by half a beat, but still followed.
A few dozen meters in front, there are two arrow targets. In the quiver of two men, there were ten arrows each. Whoever shoots more arrows in the bullseye wins.
Xiao Yunhe really didn't know the bottom in his heart, so although he held the bow in his hand, he never dared to shoot the first arrow.
The barbarian knight, on the other hand, had just rushed out, and before he could stabilize his body, the bowstring in his hand sounded, and the first arrow had already been shot.
I heard the sound of "Du", and an arrow was inserted straight into the arrow target on her side, hitting the bull's eye, and the score was exactly right.
Looking at his masterpiece proudly, the barbarian knight glanced at Xiao Yunhe defiantly.
Xiao Yunhe also rushed to the front, but looking at the arrow target in front of him, he shook his head, went around in a circle and ran back.
Outside the field, there was a lot of boos.
In the second circle, when the barbarian knight approached Xiao Yunhe, he sneered again: "You don't even know how to shoot arrows, do you want me to teach you?"
Xiao Yunhe smiled faintly and did not speak.
With a cold snort, the barbarian knight rushed forward again.
This time it became "Tuk, Tuk, Tuk!" three times in succession, and by the time the barbarian knight circled back, there were already four more arrows on his target, each of which was in the bull's eye, and in the small red circle of the bull's-eye, the four arrows were distributed together very regularly.
Xiao Yunhe also rushed over after that, but he stared at the arrow target for a long time, and at the moment when he was approaching, he suddenly flicked the horse's head, and before he could make a move, he went around again.
At this moment, the onlookers outside the field, the boos became even louder.
