Emperor Zhenguan

The little friends gave out a strange 'hehe' smile, and then surrounded Qin Huaiyu.

"Quickly tell me what's going on." Cheng Chumo asked his good brother in a low voice.

"What's the matter?" Although Qin Huaiyu knew what they were asking, he didn't want to say it, so he just pretended to be stupid.

"Brothers, he is pretending to be stupid, beat him up!"

The little brothers vented their grievances one after another, and greeted Qin Huaiyu with a fist of friendship.

"Don't hit, don't hit, I said, I said!"

"Say it!"

Everyone stared at him intently.

Princess Jinyang, that is their goddess. Everyone has fantasized about it, but no one dares to get close to her. But today, Her Royal Highness actually chatted with Qin Huaiyu, and Qin Huaiyu must be tortured!
"It's really nothing, but during the exam, I wrote a poem and wanted to ask Her Majesty the Princess for advice. I thought she would refuse, but I didn't expect Her Majesty to be so kind." When he said this, he blushed shyly.

Everyone: "."

There is no hope, this guy is hopeless.

On the other side, Li Lizhi asked curiously, "Why are you walking with Qin Huaiyu?"

"He wrote a poem, let me comment on it for him." After finishing speaking, Jin Yang thoughtfully said: "Before, I always thought that Qin Huaiyu should be like the Duke of Yue, good at martial arts, but I didn't expect him to be good at writing and ink. .”

Li Lizhi thought for a while and said, "I heard that Qin Huaiyu had been studying hard with Du Gong and others for a year before the exam."

"Well, then he's working hard."

"maybe."

As the bell rang, the candidates left the examination room.

The examinees were not in high spirits, and the adults didn't dare to say anything disturbing. They just took the children home for dinner silently and waited for the next exam.

Friends like Qin Huaiyu were even more downcast.

Not to mention the failure of the exam, there are more depressing things happening.

"Hey."

Those children sighed in unison.

Five days passed quickly. Chinese, mathematics, geography, history, physical education, and written examinations were all over, and the last one, riding and archery, was assessed on the school grounds.

On this day, the candidates who were depressed because of the written test finally became confident.

school field.

The soldiers lit the brazier and stood awe-inspiringly. The emperor led his ministers to the school grounds to watch the last exam.

You can't see it in the written test, but you can see it in riding and archery.

"drive!"

Li Zhen came to the school grounds on horseback, got off her horse, saluted the emperor, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the candidates have assembled, please give your order."

Li Zhiyun said loudly: "Start!"

"According to the order!"

Li Zhen got on the horse, held the flag high, galloped the horse back and forth, and shouted loudly: "The exam begins!"

The riding and archery competition is a whole, and it will not be tested separately.In this assessment, all the targets shot were moving targets.This is an assessment item that Li Zhiyun tinkered with. Soldiers wearing full-armed plate armor and holding archery targets move freely at fifty steps and one hundred steps respectively. Candidates shoot arrows. Within a stick of incense, Whoever hits the most targets gets the highest score.

In addition, there is a more advanced level, that is, the second assessment, that is, the 'swimming horse target'.

...

Swimming horse targets are also divided into two levels of fifty steps and one hundred steps, which are moved back and forth by soldiers on horseback, also known as "human targets".It's just that the arrows used by the candidates are 'fake arrows', that is, there are no arrows, but the arrows are wrapped with cloth. As long as they hit a moving cavalry, that cavalry will dismount immediately.

Undoubtedly, the swimming horse target scored higher.

The whole assessment can be seen as two parts.The first part is the infantry moving target, and the second part is the cavalry moving target.The difference is that in order to prevent accidental injury, the infantry wears fully armed plate armor, and the cavalry also wears plate armor, but at the same time, the arrows in the candidates' hands are removed.

"The first candidate, Yuchi Baolin!"

Dongdong Dongdong!

With the sound of beating drums, Yuchi Baolin charged out on the horse.

His first assessment was the archery target.

During the entire assessment process, he had to move back and forth on horseback, and could not stop to shoot arrows, otherwise it would be considered a foul, even if he hit the target, he would not get points.

This is the true meaning of riding and archery assessment.

When an officer lit a stick of incense, the examiner immediately shouted 'start'!
Immediately afterwards, the sound of beating drums suddenly became intensive, like the sound of a charge.

Yuchi Baolin took a slight breath, holding the longbow tightly with one hand, and fixed her eyes on the pawn moving target that was about to appear.

This assessment is very close to actual combat.

It not only assesses equestrian skills, but also assesses archery skills, and also tests physical strength and endurance!

He once stayed in the barracks with his father Yu Chigong, and he knew that this was one of the daily necessary training items for cavalry.Because, once Tang Qi launches a charge, he must first shoot more than three arrows within ten breaths.

Mounted archery, mounted archery, is not archery on a horse.

To move at high speed, move in bumps, and accurately hit the enemy under the double environment, is the horse and shooter, and the real elite.Only this kind of cavalry is the Tang cavalry that makes the enemy fearful!
What's more, the cavalry on the battlefield must wear plate armor, carry bows, arrows, Tang swords, and long spears.

"coming!"

He fixed his eyes on the soldiers rushing out in front, and saw those soldiers wearing plate armor, holding archery targets, running around fifty paces away, without any rules.

"drive!"

He urged the horse to run wildly, drew his bow and set an arrow, aiming at a target in front of him.

stop!
The arrow flew out and hit the target on the spot.

After the shot, the soldier holding the target immediately retreated from the other side.

Yuchi Baolin didn't procrastinate, and started shooting arrows again.

His time is only one stick of incense, and within one stick of incense, he must shoot enough arrow targets to get a high score.

No matter how many shots Yuchi Baolin made, the number of targets fifty paces away never decreased, and there were always soldiers coming to replenish the targets.

On the high platform, the emperor saw that Yuchi Baolin was very skillful in dealing with the moving targets of the pawns fifty paces away, and had already hit more than [-]. He couldn't help but respectfully said to Yuchi: "Jingde, Baolin is very proficient in archery."

"Haha, the little skill of the withering insect is just a little skill of the withering insect, so it's not enough to praise." Yu Chigong's face was full of smiles, and Cheng Yaojin looked tired for a while.

Just when the stick of incense was halfway burning, all the moving targets fifty paces away left the field, followed by an archery target a hundred paces away.

This is the second half of the first part of the assessment, the target a hundred paces away.

This time, Yuchi Baolin didn't go as smoothly as she did at the beginning, she shot several arrows in a row, but all of them fell through the air.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha"

Yuchi Baolin panted heavily while riding the horse, he could hardly hold on anymore.Running wildly on the horse, and shooting arrows, there are too many aspects involved, and it consumes too much energy.

First of all, to shoot an arrow right away, you have to have strong legs.Because, when you shoot an arrow, your hands can't stabilize your body. You can only rely on your legs to clamp the horse's belly, balance immediately, and then release your hands.

Secondly, if you want to hit the target, you have to use two minds, allocate part of your concentration, and aim at the target.

Finally, riding a horse moves at a high speed, with constant bumps and rapid exhaustion of physical strength.The further you go, the less physical strength you have, and the rapid decline in concentration.

The reason why the Turkic cavalry was so powerful in the past is because the Turkic soldiers grew up on horseback and were familiar with it.But if Tang Qi wants to do it, he has to constantly improve himself.The troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty were a big melting pot, forging the embryonic form of the powerful Tang Qi. Later, after continuously attacking Fanbang and sweeping the grasslands, Tang Qi gradually became a complete body.

That is to say, all kinds of skills of riding, shooting and spear stabbing are brought together in one body.

The current Yuchi Baolin can't do this.In the first part, Yuchi Baolin only hit six targets at targets beyond [-] paces, so the results can be said to be mediocre.
