In this way, the brothers, this time riding on a divine horse, left the Hou Mansion in high spirits. Gong Yueyue was naturally not polite, and rode a Wusun horse that looked relatively docile, and followed.
The fifth battalion of the Northern Army outside the city.
The five battalions of the Northern Army are respectively the Tunqi Battalion, the Yueqi Battalion, the Infantry Battalion, the Changshui Battalion and the Shesheng Battalion. Each battalion is led by a school lieutenant. They are called the Five School Lieutenants. They are collectively called the Five Schools of the Northern Army.
Xunjian, the biological uncle of Zhong and Wu Zan, was the garrison captain of the fifth battalion of the Northern Army.
Today, July 15th, is the day of the monthly Jinmamen Taizhao competition. The venue for the competition is the school field of Shesheng Camp. This is because most of the soldiers of Shesheng Camp come from Taizhao who have excellent shooting skills.
Shooter.
The group of people soon arrived at the competition site outside the city. They found a foothold in the northwest direction of the school ground and stopped to watch.
Directly to the east of the school grounds, there is a wooden square platform with flags and drums, and people can stand on it. The shape is similar to the layout of the capital examination in Xiping County. At this moment, the entire school grounds are surrounded by people who have come to compete and prepare for the imperial edict.
Warriors and athletes from all over the world.
Although the five battalions of the Northern Army sound like a large number, in fact, the number of soldiers in each battalion has a certain limit, that is, the number of subordinate soldiers in each battalion is only 700. To enter the archery, which is mainly composed of soldiers who are waiting for the imperial edict.
To enter the Shengying camp, you must first become a Sheshengshi to be ordered to do so. And even if you become a Sheshengshi to be ordered to do so, you may not be able to immediately enter the Sheshengying camp or the other five battalions of the Northern Army.
Because the quota of 700 people is too small. But just because of the number limit, the fifth battalion of the Northern Army has the unparalleled combat effectiveness!
Just imagine, the soldiers of the five battalions of the Northern Army, each with 700 men, were carefully selected from thousands of soldiers who were waiting for the imperial edict, not to mention their superb martial arts skills.
Needless to say, even if you stand there, no one would dare to come and compare with your imposing manner and size.
When Wuwei saw that most of the people around him were brave warriors from northwest Longxi, who were tall and mighty, he couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and whispered softly: "...what's the matter? It's so impressive. We won't see the real results until after the competition!"
"After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Okay, fourth brother, don't feel guilty, how could they be better than you! Huh, don't forget that the guys in your hands are not for free!" Wu Zan encouraged Wu Wei, but at the same time he couldn't bear it.
He picked up the spear in his hand.
He had noticed that many people around him looked at the spears in their hands with more or less surprise and inquiry.
"Well, you're right! How can I, Shiro-kun, be outclassed!" Confidence returned to Wuwei's face, "But, it's just... Fifth brother, I'm afraid that if I don't use stirrups later, my marksmanship will
Without any power..."
In order to prevent the secret from being leaked, the Wu Zan brothers have never used stirrups since they arrived in the capital and went out to ride horses. Every time they got on and off the horse, they mostly borrowed the mounting stone, or used the original method to fly up and down the horse. Gong Yueyue naturally
There is no exception, but when there is no horse-mounting stone, Wu Zan is usually responsible for getting on and off the horse.
"Fourth brother is right. Fifth brother, you two usually use stirrups to perform your marksmanship routines. Now if you don't use stirrups, you really... I think you can't really use them to show their power."
Wu Zhong analyzed it objectively and looked at the bare belly of several people with regret.
Wu Zan heard the words, but smiled mysteriously: "You are worrying too much about this, aren't you?" As he spoke, he took out a small coarse cloth bag from his arms, shook it at a few people, and said: "Fourth brother, wait for the next round.
When it comes to you, use it, I guarantee that fourth brother will succeed immediately!" Then, he looked at Gong Yueyue with his bright black eyes like diamonds, and Gong Yueyue smiled knowingly in return.
Wu Zhong obviously saw the clues of the interaction between the two, and asked with a smile: "Fifth brother, he even kept it secret from his brother. He is really tight-lipped."
"Brother, it's not a secret. Even the eighth sister just handed it to me yesterday evening, and I haven't had a chance to try it yet." Wu Zan said, opening the small bag and sewing and wrapping a pair of black burlap.
He took out the stirrups, hung them on the saddle, then stretched out his feet and put them in.
Because Wu Zan was wearing black riding boots, the stirrups were not visible at all. In addition, Gong Yueyue also used mixed-color wrapping for the ropes that suspended the stirrups. In this way, the camouflage effect is amazing, and it can be seen from afar.
At first glance, there is no flaw!
Ever since Wuwei showed his lack of confidence several times, Gong Yueyue thought that Wuwei was because of the stirrups. On weekdays, the brothers used stirrups to practice spears. In this competition, without the help of stirrups, Gong Yueyue
Yueyue believed that the power of these people's marksmanship would be greatly reduced. Therefore, after listening to Wu Zan's words informed by Xinhui yesterday, Gong Yueyue immediately started to sew the camouflage stirrups that she named on the spur of the moment.
When Wu Wei saw Wu Zan stepping on the stirrup like this, he immediately became interested. He couldn't help but cheer loudly, but Wu Zan stopped him with a glare. Wu Wei then reached out to cover his mouth and whispered: "Five
Brother, but stirrups?" He looked at Gong Yueyue again and said, "But what is Bamei's idea?" Without waiting for Wu Zan to reply, he muttered: "...Bamei is partial. If there is anything good, she always thinks of it first.
Fifth brother..."
"You have wronged Bamei. Bamei only remembered it yesterday. No, I just tried this, didn't I?" Wu Zan spoke and kicked his feet hard again. The feeling was the same as usual.
Then he breathed a sigh of satisfaction: "Well, that's right! Eight sisters, you call it a camouflage stirrup. It really confuses other people's eyes. Others can't tell at all."
"Well, what a good name, camouflage stirrup..." Wu Zhong also muttered it several times in a low voice, and then looked at Wu Zan's feet.
Song Luo stood aside, watching all this quietly, and couldn't help but secretly regret that he had missed his marriage with his eighth cousin! With such a smart eighth cousin, I'm afraid he could only watch from afar for the rest of his life...
Wu Zan was upright, and he only tried it once, then took off the camouflage stirrup and handed it to Wu Wei. Wu Wei couldn't help but happily took it and put it on.
"Hey, you really can't tell at all! Eight sisters, this is a good idea. I'll make one for my fourth brother when I get back!" Wuwei was very self-conscious and assigned Gong Yueyue without any courtesy.
Gong Yueyue nodded with a smile, and was about to agree, but Song Luo said: "Fourth cousin, this camouflage stirrup is not difficult at all. It is just a layer of burlap sewn and wrapped. Why should I bother my eighth cousin? Fourth cousin
Doesn’t my maid know how to do needlework like this?”
He glanced at Gong Yueyue nonchalantly and said, "Fourth cousin, don't forget that the eighth cousin has set a wedding date and is currently busy embroidering the dowry. Although she is not lacking in needlework, fourth cousin is embarrassed.
Did you delay your eighth cousin’s work?”
Wuwei blinked his big phoenix eyes and muttered: "Well, that's true! Why didn't I think of it? Cousin Luo is still smart, not like me... Huh? That's not right. Why is the fifth brother just fine? Here we are.
Why do I have so many words here?" Wuwei realized the truth belatedly. (To be continued)
