"Go down and change your clothes! After changing, look for my soldiers under the stands to report!" Feng Changqing was keenly aware that something was wrong in the surrounding atmosphere, and ordered with a smile in order to protect him.
Unlike Gao Lishi, he doesn't think it's wrong for young people to be ambitious. Although Yu Wenzhi's performance just now was too impetuous. I think back then, if Feng Changqing didn't have the same unwillingness in his heart, he wouldn't have changed from a
An unknown soldier slowly climbed to the high position of deputy envoy of Jiedushi in the four towns of Anxi. Ambition is always the source of motivation. Those who are satisfied with the status quo and think about eating and waiting to die are the real hopeless people in his heart.
Salvageable.
"No!" Yuwen Zhi seemed to have received an amnesty, and gratefully hugged Feng Changqing's fists. Then he took the military uniform and waist badge he had just taken from the opponent's soldiers and hurried away.
After he moved to the stands, his arms were grabbed by Wang Xun and Ma Fang, who were already waiting impatiently, one on the left and the other on the right. He was punched hard by the two on his shoulders, back, etc., and then he was punched by the two.
He let go and scolded with a smile: "Grandma, this is not the way to flatter someone. If you stick to the stands, you will come down! Aren't you afraid of making everyone jealous? How about it, what official position was given to you?"
"Have you seen it for yourselves?" Yu Wenzhi took out his waist badge and handed it over triumphantly. The Imperial Martial Arts School Lieutenant's rank is from the eighth rank, which is one level lower than Wang Xun's eighth rank, Deputy Lieutenant Xuanjie, but he is
He was just one level higher than Ma Fang's ninth-grade Colonel Renyong. This made Ma Fang immediately pouted and muttered in dissatisfaction: "What do you mean, I haven't been able to get off the stage for a long time.
.Turns out I love it so much that I’m crazy about it!”
"What? That old gelding Gao Lishi kept asking me questions!" Yu Wenzhi quickly looked around and responded in a low voice.
Wang Xun frowned when he heard this, and quickly looked around, and reminded in a low voice: "Why did Gao Qiaoqi offend you? You actually suppressed him like this. You know, if he hadn't been willing to come forward, you would still be locked up now.
It’s in Wannian County Prison!”
"Him?" Yu Wenzhi was so angry that air-conditioning spewed out of his nostrils, "Mingyun, you are wrong. If it hadn't been for the twenty taels of gold sent by Jia Chang, would he have come forward to save me?"
"Have you ever asked Jia Chang?" Wang Xun was stunned and asked with a frown. "Even if Jia Chang uses gold, he still needs someone to dare to accept it, right? He is in a high position and he still expects you to get rich with these twenty taels!"
"
Wang Yuwenzhi sneered and shook his head, "He really doesn't expect to get rich with these twenty taels of gold. But he doesn't see rabbits and doesn't let go of hawks. Let's not talk about that! Anyway, in this life, you, Ma Boy, Brother Zhang, Brother Lei and Jia
I will never forget Chang’s favor. Others, hehe..."
"Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about this. Anyway, we will never deal with Gao Qiqi again in the future!" Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more tense, Ma Fang hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over. "But, as the old saying goes, you two
No one wants me to salute you. Unless it’s a formal occasion where you really can’t avoid it.”
"Okay, I'll accept your courtesy, and we won't gain an extra piece of flesh!" Wang Xun didn't want to quarrel with Yu Wenzhi over a trivial matter, so he kicked Ma Fangxu and agreed with a smile.
"Beat your colleagues, fifty military sticks!" Ma Fang immediately jumped away and threatened in a low voice. Then he pulled Yu Wenzhi with a smile, "Let's go, this place is under the control of our team today, I will take you to change clothes first!"
As they talked, the three of them walked away laughing. After a while, they changed their clothes and walked back side by side. Wang Xun was tall and burly, Ma Fang was thin and clever, and there was a tall Yu Wenzhi sandwiched between them. It was really
Each has its own characteristics.
Just as the three of them were going around in such a big circle, in the stands, the other two candidates' shooting skills were also reviewed. Unlike Yu Wenzhi, in order to ensure accuracy, he specially selected a convenient weapon from the equipment provided by the military.
Save arm strength and use a soft bow for one stone. The tall and sturdy man at Target No. 3 and the tall and thin man at Target No. 5 both chose the black paint bow, which is famous for its hardness and has a strength of up to two stones. Among them, the three arrows shot by the sturdy man were
The arrow entered the target half an inch. Although the tall and thin man did not use the strength of the bow arm to the maximum, the three arrows each occupied one side of the red heart, forming a perfect "pin" shape.
Because his mood had just been ruined by Yu Wenzhi's impetuous appearance, Gao Lishi, with a straight face, ranked the tall and thin Wei Jue, whose shooting skills were clearly better than those of the others, in second place. The reason was that he was suspected of deliberately showing off. If
A sudden arrogance on the battlefield would not only lead to his own death, but also implicate Pao Ze. However, because Wang Wu, a tall and handsome man, was honest and honest, he did not slack off and conserved his strength when shooting arrows, so he was declared the first by Gao Lishi in public.
.Awarded the rank of Zhiguo Xiaoxiao, the seventh rank, and became a low-level military attaché officially recorded by the imperial court.
Although Wei Jue, a tall and thin man, was suspected of "deliberately showing off", his shooting skills were so good that he had been seen by so many pairs of eyes. In order not to disappoint the good family members who came to take the exam, Feng Changqing did it again.
The good old man recommended the tall and thin man to be Huaihua Sige, the eighth-rank official, and hired him as a crossbow instructor in the name of deputy envoy of Jiedu of the Fourth Town of Anxi to guide his soldiers in archery.
One of them was happy and the other was disappointed, but they bowed and thanked the two generals for their help. Gao Lishi nodded and ordered the two of them to step back. Then he ordered the other two to come over and persist until the end.
If they are in the right position, they will be recruited directly to serve in the army. They will start from the position of halberd commander under the ninth rank, and will be promoted as appropriate in the future based on their personal performance.
When the news came out, the whole place burst into cheers. From the comments of the two generals, all the good men saw the hope of promotion. Therefore, those who failed to perform well in the shooting field focused on the equipment field.
Those who failed to stand out in the equipment field will turn their focus to fists and kicks and tomorrow's competition. Even if they are not sure about the four competitions, they are still ready to try their luck. They do not expect to get in the top five and become a professional in one fell swoop.
Officers. Being able to join the Feilong Imperial Guard and become an ordinary soldier based on their overall performance is better than watching the eyes of their brothers at home! Moreover, the Feilong Imperial Guard has many promotion opportunities. From an ordinary soldier to a ninth-grade halberd commander, all it takes is to register for honors.
It's the turn of the third year. It's rare in the capital to enjoy lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year without missing a few fires. And every late summer, dredging the drainage ditches in the city can also make a lot of achievements. Just in case you are lucky enough to be killed one day.
His Majesty the Emperor has taken a fancy to it, and it is possible to soar into the sky!
Amidst the deafening cheers, Gao Lishi shook his head slightly in a way that was difficult for everyone to notice. These young people who came to apply today are still too immature after all. Compared with the four talents who came to apply for the selection in the eleventh year of Kaiyuan,
The candidates were more handsome than just a little bit. Most of the applicants that year were wearing half-worn rough clothes, but the simple clothes could not hide the heroic spirit on their faces. But the children of good families who came to apply today were
More than half of them were wearing brocade clothes, which were a bit too luxurious. The heroic spirit in their bones was greatly diminished by the brocade clothes.
He guessed that Gao Lishi might be in a bad mood, but couldn't guess the reason. Feng Changqing smiled and raised his eyebrows slightly at Zhou Xiaofeng beside him. Zhou Xiaofeng and Zhou Laohu, who were known as "rough and rough" among the generals, immediately
Understanding, he took a few steps forward and gave a deep salute to Gao Lishi, "I've heard that the hussar general is very skilled in shooting and is unparalleled in the world. But the young general has never been able to meet him. I finally met him today. Please give me a warm welcome to the general."
Don’t hesitate to teach me!”
"Yes, yes, I have been living in the frontier for a long time and have long heard about the general's shooting skills. I can see it with my own eyes today, and I will be impressed when I get back!" A group of Anxi officers followed Zhou Xiaofeng and rushed towards him.
Gao Lishi bowed his hands and saluted.
"Nonsense! Still not backing down!" Feng Changqing cursed in a low voice, but there was a smile on his face.
"Hey hey, hey hey!" Zhou Laohu scratched the back of his head hard, while stepping back, he looked pitifully at Gao Lishi's face.
Gao Lishi was confused by his fake honesty. He smiled and said loudly: "It's okay. Gao has been showing off just now, so he can't lose sight of the real seal under his hand. Get a hard bow of two and a half stones, and let's
Let’s show off our ugliness. If you don’t hit the mark later, don’t laugh!” “By the way, it will be our lifetime luck to see the general’s shooting skills with our own eyes!” Zhou Laohu grinned and smiled.
The interface.
Gao Lishi smiled and casually untied his cloak from behind his shoulders. Then he flexed his muscles and took a two-stone, half-hard birch bow from his own soldier. He walked slowly towards the target while ordering with a smile.
, "Put the target up to a position of one hundred and twenty paces. If it is not at this distance, the benefits of the birch bow will not be shown!"
"No!" The soldiers trotted, picked up the target, moved back twenty steps, and stabbed it again at a distance of one hundred and twenty steps.
The sons of good families who came to apply had already planned to try their luck at other venues. Suddenly they heard that the Emperor's favorite eunuch Gao Lishi was going to demonstrate his archery skills in public, and they came back one after another. Seeing this, Ma Fang hurriedly stepped forward to maintain order.
After a long time of effort, the good family members were rearranged and stood twenty steps behind Gao Lishi, forming a semicircle from a distance.
Gao Lishi picked five arrows with the most even tail feathers from the quiver, and inserted them one by one on the hard ground in front of him where he could bend down. While inserting them, he smiled and chatted with Zhou Xiaofeng and others who were catching up.
He raised it deliberately so that most of the people around him could hear, "You have been on the battlefield and must have more experience than me. Although our Tang Dynasty's feather arrows are specially customized by the Ministry of War, not every arrow is of high quality. When it comes to battle,
At this time, if the enemy cavalry launches a charge, you will have at most three to five opportunities to fire arrows at a distance of 120 steps. Therefore, by selecting and selecting in advance, you can kill one more enemy and give the enemy one less chance to approach the formation.
!”
"Indeed!" Zhou Xiaofeng looked back and responded loudly.
Hearing this, some of the candidates who were smart immediately realized that General Gao was taking the opportunity to teach everyone about their shooting skills. They quickly held their breath for fear of missing a word. But some dull people in the crowd,
I still felt that the reason why Gao Lishi was able to reach the high position of general was entirely dependent on the favor of His Majesty the Emperor. So, I sneered slightly while waiting to see how Gao Lishi would make a fool of himself.
Gao Lishi had no time to care about how much the candidates behind him listened to his words. While slowly adjusting the bow string, he continued to say with a smile: "The reason why I just said that Yu Wenzhi was not strong enough was also for practical combat. Now I am older
The main powerful enemy of the Tang Dynasty is the newly rising Great Food Kingdom in the west. Their territory is vast, and it is said that they are no longer inferior to the Tang Dynasty. And the armor is as sophisticated as the Mingguang Armor of the Tang Dynasty. You can use a stone hard and a soft one.
If you shoot him with a bow, you may not be able to knock him off his horse even if you shoot three arrows in succession. And after three arrows, he is still at most twenty steps away from you. Even if the fourth arrow happens to hit his throat, he will not be able to get off his horse.
The war horse also trampled you into a meat pie."
"This is true. But soft bows are easy to aim after all! So many people like to use soft bows lazily!" Zhou Xiaofeng thought for a while and responded loudly again.
"Otherwise!" Gao Lishi shook his head slightly, "As the saying goes, draw the bow fully and release the arrow tightly. Of course, for people with small arm strength, a soft bow is easier to master than a hard bow. But if you have strong arm strength but are still lazy to use a soft bow, it will
It’s counterproductive.”
Without waiting for anyone to agree, he thought for a while and continued: "A bow and arrow all depends on the word heart. Don't be distracted, don't be tempted, and have perseverance. You don't want to be lazy during training. Choose a bow that suits your arm strength and strive to pull it.
It is full without any pause in the middle. Open the bow quickly and release the arrow steadily!"
Having said that, he bent his waist and pulled up an arrow from the ground. With the effort of straightening his waist, he pulled the big birch bow as round as the full moon. With a slight release of his fingers, he shot out the eagle feather, carrying an arrow with it.
The cold wind hit the red heart of the target in the distance with a "pop" sound. However, the force was still not exhausted, causing the target to swing back and forth.
Before the target regained its stability, Gao Lishi bent down again and put the second arrow on the bow arm. He straightened his waist, drew the bow, and loosened the string. All actions were done in one go, as skillfully as flowing clouds. In the blink of an eye, the second arrow was ready.
It was inserted into the bull's-eye of a hundred and twenty steps, and it was very close to the first arrow. The tail feathers collided, and the white feathers flew in all directions.
"Okay -" Only then did everyone react and cheered at the top of their lungs. Gao Lishi turned a deaf ear to the sounds around him, bent down, stood up, bent down, stood up, repeated it twice, and had already fired the third and fourth feather arrows.
Hit the bullseye.
All the good family members who came to apply cheered like crazy. They were not afraid of not knowing the goods, but they were afraid of comparing goods. Just now, Yu Wenzhi and others shot three arrows at a hundred steps. It took about a drum time, and each time they shot one
It took at least four or five breaths to aim the arrows. However, General Gao Lishi shot four arrows in four breaths, and all the arrows hit the red heart, and they were twenty steps further than Yu Wenzhi and others.
Amidst the cheers, Gao Lishi put the fifth arrow on the bowstring. At this moment, the first four arrows had already crowded the core of the target, and he saw that there was almost no space for the fifth arrow to land. He seemed to have discovered that
Knowing this, the fifth arrow was drawn but not fired. The cheers of the crowd immediately stopped, and their eyes pointed directly at the tip of the arrow with a cold light, fearing that this arrow would miss the mark and wipe out all the excitement of the first four arrows.
It was too late to say it, but it was soon. Gao Lishi suddenly smiled and loosened the bow string. As if his heart was taken out by the arrow shaft, everyone in the field opened their mouths and widened their eyes, watching the carved feather moving inch by inch.
Fly forward, fly forward, fly forward. "Pa", the cold light disappeared in the gap between the eagle feathers, and the fifth arrow actually squeezed in between the first four arrows, standing proudly in front of the target.
central!
Note 1: Zhu lacquer and white birch bows are both standard and famous bows in the Tang army. They have a long range and are accurate.
