Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 206 The Horse Race Won Again

Zhang Yang's explanation of hunting left Man'er speechless.

For a shooter, there is no difference in difficulty between flying birds and beasts, but flying birds are small in size. If a group of people want to eat flying birds that are as big as a deer, they must be very skilled in hunting skills.

The taste of Asuka is actually not good, and it is troublesome to deal with. Turkic people don't like to eat it, but this group of big Zhou soldiers prefer to eat something different.

Man'er no longer dwells on this issue, there are other games.As for wrestling, Da Zhou practiced formations, emphasizing the cooperation of arms and each small group. You can't beat Turks in wrestling, right?
But the second game is horseback riding.

Happy runway, just run.

The first Turkic player ran three times, but finally gave up.Every time the horse fell off and waited for rescue with a wooden frame, or held the rail to greet the horse to come back.

The first time I ran was very fast, I tried to run to the finish line with all my strength, and after a while, I dodged left and right, and finally I couldn't react in time and was forced to abandon the horse.Very tired, and then, after getting familiar with the runway, the audience sang cool.

The second time I deliberately controlled the running speed, but the further I got to the back, the more I couldn't make dodging movements, and finally I was exhausted and couldn't hold on any longer.

The third time, I controlled the speed and maintained my physical strength. I was really almost exhausted. Later, the horse was not fast enough to jump over obstacles.

The same goes for the first player in Dazhou.

Happy running track, when people turn their backs on their backs and are out of breath, they just compete with the running track without paying attention to the results of the race and it’s over.

Therefore, in the situation where the first three people really couldn't finish the run, they decided to reduce the runway, otherwise there would be no winner.

Really, walking slowly is the fastest way to pass.

The six men Da Zhou and Turkic stood on the field gasping for breath while laughing at each other's ugliness on the track. None of them finished, but they were all very happy.

Then come to the same conclusion.

"This track is really tormenting, but it's really interesting. People with poor riding skills really can't react and experience the fun, let alone pass the level."

Maybe they are not very good at riding.

This kind of difficult sport is naturally highly ornamental.

The onlookers were very happy. These people were high-spirited at first, and finally clumsy like bears. They were swept from left to right, just like children who can't ride a horse.Although it would be fun to watch Datang win, it is more interesting to watch these soldiers make fools of themselves in the game.

The problem is that the runway is just too long.

Borrowing the experiments of people who have been hunting, and finally made a decision to leave only one-third of the length of the runway to accommodate the physical strength of the two parties.

After this change, the game can end earlier and get the result.

The six people who acted as guinea pigs got valuable rest and adjustment time, and they started again after everyone finished running.

The result is no suspense.

Zhang Yang's subordinates are always a little stronger than Man'er's subordinates.

Man'er was angry again, "It's not fair. The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty must have practiced in private. The Turkic people grew up on horseback, and they are definitely the most flexible in riding."

Many Turkic people have carefully observed the obstacles of the Dazhou soldiers, and their postures are almost the same.For example, when avoiding high obstacles, first hold the horse's head with both hands, then slide down the right leg, pull up the left leg, and lean to the right.

Maner's guess is reasonable.

Shen Sanwen expressed his dissatisfaction, "This is the first horse racing track in Dazhou. It is impossible to divide such a long area in the barracks to make these things. The soldiers of Dazhou have equestrian training. Everyone learns it seriously. Well done, the steps are all the same, it’s not a result that can be produced in a few days. This competition was proposed by you a few days ago, and the track has only just been completed, and people from two sides are watching.”

Maner: "..."

The dead can tell you alive.

It is indeed impossible for Da Zhou to do this, because Da Zhou has never thought of deciding problems through competitions, and real problems must be solved on the battlefield.

Many people believe what the Turks have trained and prepared in advance.

In the second round, Da Zhou won again by a narrow margin, Man'er began to panic.

If she loses another round, she will stay in Luoyang for three years!The Turks can no longer lose, but she has no confidence.

How could it be so easy for the second to chase the third, the soldiers panicked.

The Turkic people also talked a lot. The people of Dazhou had changed. They were no longer the little weak chickens in the past. They had surpassed them in hunting and riding skills. It was terrible.

Man'er managed to calm down, and began to appease the soldiers, "Don't panic, everyone. There are also wrestling and wine fighting. The military orders of the Great Zhou Dynasty are strict, the armor should not leave the body, and drinking is not allowed without reason. What are they going to compete with us? In the next archery competition, everyone must fight Put your mind to it and show your strength. Your opponents are strong, but you are definitely not weak. Pick up your bows and arrows and shoot them to the gods. Don’t lose confidence because of a temporary defeat, the Turks will surely win.”

The Turks were immediately encouraged after hearing this, and many of them repeated, "Turks will surely win."

There was a lot of noise here, and the contestants like Da Zhou refused to admit defeat. One person shouted to the outside, "Da Zhou must win."

The crowd outside the hunting ground was silent for a moment, and then shouted "Da Zhou will win" one after another.

Gradually the voice became more orderly.

Big week must win.

Big week must win.

Big week must win.

It was overwhelming and deafening.

This is the unity of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and an oath to the Turks.

Man'er didn't say another word, Shen San asked people to signal the people outside to be quiet, and then announced the start of the third match.

The archery arranged by Shen Sanwen was naturally more difficult than ordinary archery, he only adjusted two items.

One is that the bull's-eye is smaller than before. The ordinary red bull's-eye can take up a quarter of the target area, and he can only prepare one-tenth of it.

The second is that there is only one target surface for two people to shoot. If the force is not enough, the arrows will enter the target surface too shallowly, and the arrows shot down will not be counted.

A small target surface can accommodate only a limited number of arrows.

This is a rule that both Man'er and Zhang Yang agree on.

The key to archery is to be fast, ruthless and accurate. If you are too weak, you are not ruthless enough, or your skills are not as good as others.

This competition is the most evenly matched competition. Zhang Yang has trained in overcoming obstacles, trained in shooting, and led his troops to hunt birds and beasts, but his strength training is somewhat lacking.Flexibility on the battlefield often means more opportunities, and the strength of normal people generally cannot reach the level of surrender skills.

This time, there was no special arrangement for the order of candidates for the competition, and no one knew whether the opponent's archery skills were good or bad. The Turks had no intention of fighting the weak at all, and Da Zhou had no way to deal with it.

The two sides completely follow the order of the lottery, and everything depends on the fate.

The Dazhou people and the Turkic people took turns shooting, and the first person to shoot was determined by drawing lots.

If the arrow of the person who shoots first can stand firmly in the bull's-eye, the person who shoots behind will lose an inch of scoring ground.When the last shooter makes the last arrow, he can decide whether to attack or score according to his own strength and the strength of the opponent.

very fair.
