Dragon fights in Tang Dynasty

It is well known that Li Zhen knows martial arts, but few people in the Tang Dynasty have seen Li Zhen's martial arts. On the contrary, there are more than ten different versions of the legend about Li Zhen's martial arts. Some say that Li Zhen's martial arts are the best in the world. , There are also people who say that Li Zhen is just a vain name, there are different opinions, but Li Zhen has never come forward to explain or show off his skills. Even Li Shimin has never seen Li Zhen perform martial arts with his own eyes. Without him, in the past Whether it's a polo game or a field hunt, Li Zhen always acts as a spectator, and she is the quietest kind, except for a smile on her face, she doesn't even say a word. Countless—a generation of warrior Qin Qiong left his last words to Li Shimin before his death: the king of Yue is a great talent, and the blue is better than the blue.

If it was the past, Li Shimin would really like to see how high Li Zhen's martial arts are, but now is the time to select vanguard officers for the army. At this juncture, Li Zhen proposed to show his skills, but Li Shimin had to do more After thinking about it for a while, it's not that I'm worried that Li Zhen's martial arts is not good enough to lose the face of the Tian family, or that it's not that I'm worried that Li Zhen is playing tricks behind the scenes, but that the soldiers are in danger. A mistake, that's a lot of fun, isn't it?

Li Zhensu has a calm personality, and she doesn't like to talk too much since she was young, but she is very reliable when she runs errands, and she never asks for anything in return. The request of the competition really made it difficult for Li Shimin to refuse. After a moment of silence, Li Shimin waved his hand and said with a smile: "I agree, go and change clothes."

Haha, it's done!Li Zhen was very proud of herself. To be honest, even if it wasn't for protecting herself, Li Zhen yearned for the blood-boiling battlefield. It's a pity that she was young before and could only watch others make achievements. Is it because Li Zhen seized the opportunity, how long will it take to show off?

"Yes, my father, my son's decree!" Although Li Zhen was proud in her heart, her face was still calm, she kowtowed respectfully, got up, walked down the high platform slowly, and went straight to her guards Walking, although the footsteps are still steady, but the slightly faster pace than in the past reveals the excitement in Li Zhen's heart.When the guards who had been waiting for a long time saw Li Zhen arriving, they immediately swarmed up, waited for Li Zhen to change her clothes and put on armor, and pulled the horse to hold the stirrup.

People need clothes, and Buddha needs gold clothes. This is true—once Li Zhen, who was originally tall and straight, put on a silver helmet and a bright armor, and a snow-white tall horse next to him Ma, with a bright silver gun made of fine steel weighing 64 jins, has not yet entered the field, and just such an appearance won the applause of the audience.

The white horse under Li Zhen's seat is named Xuelongju, a famous horse from Dawan. It is extraordinary and has a good sense of humanity. It has been a few years since Li Zhen followed, but it has never experienced such a big scene. The hooves pawed the ground non-stop, and there was a trace of nervousness in the look of being eager to try, and the little look was very interesting.Li Zhen patted Xue Longju's big head lightly to comfort him, shook the rein with a smile and said, "Drive." But seeing Xue Longju standing up, he let out a cheerful neighing, looking at At the point not far away, the platform will rush to the past.

"Report to Marshal Li, the final general is ready, please order from the commander-in-chief." Li Zhen rode his horse to the general's platform, holding guns in both hands, and reported loudly to Li Ji who was on the high platform.

Li Ji, originally surnamed Xu, was named Shiji, styled Maogong, and also known as Maogong. He was named Li Shiji because Li Yuan, the great ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, bestowed the surname Li.Later, because of avoiding the taboo of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, it was changed to a single-name achievement. He was born in Lihu, Caozhou (now Dongming, Shandong). , they have a close relationship with each other, and they have seen Li Zhen's martial arts in private. He naturally knows Li Zhen's ability. Even so, seeing Li Zhen's heroic appearance like a dragon and a tiger , Li Ji couldn't help applauding secretly, looked at Li Zhen with great interest for a while, and then waved the command flag, indicating that Li Zhen can go on stage to demonstrate her archery skills.

Grandma is a bear, whether it succeeds or not depends on this time!Seeing Li Ji waving the command flag, Li Zhen's mood suddenly fluctuated: How many years have I suffered from practicing martial arts, what are we going to do?Isn't it just to be able to go back to the battlefield?The grader in front of the head is young, and he can only stare blankly at the constant battles, drooling all over the floor, this time he has finally seized the opportunity, when will he not seize it?Come on!Li Zhen took a deep breath, calmed down, clamped the horse's belly, and ran away slantingly looking at the direction of the target.

As expected of a famous Dawan horse, the Xuelong colt is astonishingly fast once it starts to run, blowing across the martial arts arena like a whirlwind, seven hundred steps, six hundred steps, five hundred steps, watching the target getting closer , Li Zhen, who had been sitting still, hung the bright silver spear in his hand on the victory hook of the saddle, untied the five-stone iron tire bow slung across his back, and took out three carved feather arrows from the quiver. One arrow was put on the bow, and the other two feathered arrows were held in his mouth. When he was four hundred steps away from the target, Li Zhen, who wanted to shock the entire army, did not hesitate to open the bow and release the arrows. Regardless of whether the arrow hit the bull's-eye, he took off the two carved feather arrows in his mouth, and shot them out one after another at a distance of 350 steps.

The arrow traveled to the extreme, and flew towards the dart board with a strong whistling sound like a meteor piercing the sky. A feathered arrow hit the bull's-eye, and shot the bull's-eye in half. The feathered arrow, which was more than two feet long, only The remaining half of the arrow shafts were outside, and two feathered arrows shot into the bull's-eye next to one feathered arrow. The whole arrow except the tail had passed through the bull's-eye, and the next three arrows were even more so. It's an exaggeration, not to mention hitting the red heart, and forcefully blasted a big hole out of the bull's-eye, but the momentum continued, and it flew for dozens of steps before it landed obliquely on the ground.

Dead silence, a dead silence, more than ten thousand people in the audience were stunned by Li Zhen's miraculous three arrows. Li Shimin, who was sitting on the general platform, was also shocked by the miraculous three arrows. Not to mention the bright smile on his face, his palms were flushed. Without him, Li Shimin is the emperor on horseback, and he is also good at riding and shooting. I have seen so many sharpshooters that I can't even count them, but I have never seen such a magical shooting technique as Li Zhen. It is shameless for Lao Huai to comfort himself.

Alas, I still haven't been able to reach the stage of Dacheng, what a pity, damn it, God knows when I will be able to break through that hurdle that is only one line away.Amidst the cheers, Li Zhen did not show a smug expression, on the contrary, she felt a little regretful, without him, Li Zhen has been strong since she was a child, and Qin Qiong was very focused on strength training later on, even though she was under 15 years old , but there are few people in the Great Tang Dynasty who can match the strength, not to mention that he followed Li Jing to practice the secret "Zhenyang Jue" and "Ape Lord Swordsmanship" of the Guigu School, and his internal strength is already quite impressive , but the achievement of the "True Yang Jue" is still a little short, otherwise the last arrow should have pierced the bull's-eye, but it would not shatter the bull's-eye due to a slight dispersion of strength. Disappointed, maybe Li Zhen can be satisfied at this point, she laughed at herself, and let her horse go to Dianjiangtai.

After Li Zhen finished shooting, this round of selection is over, and the next two rounds of competition will be a sand table deduction.Speaking of which, this sand table is still one of Li Zhen's "Ming". Since Li Zhen donated this object in the seventh year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin was overjoyed and issued an edict to promote it in the army. At the time of the incident, the generals of the Tang Dynasty often practiced and fought on the sand table, and everyone could play a few hands.Of course, this round of sand table deduction is not a duel between princes and candidates, but an answer to questions. Specifically, it is to draw exam questions and answer them on the sand table according to the requirements stated in the exam questions, or set up a camp, or conduct offensive and defensive drills , and so on.

The exam question that Li Zhen took out this time was camping, that is, to find a strategic point suitable for camping in a complex terrain, and use fences and other molds to camp on the sand table. The time limit is one stick of incense. The requirements are: both It can withstand the siege of an enemy force five times its own, and can control the overall situation, making it impossible for the enemy to make a detour.Li Zhen has long been familiar with the sand table. Facing such a simple exam question, she doesn't need to think at all. Leave some spare time to watch other people's formations.

Not to mention, these fifteen young generals carefully selected from various armies in the Nanya Army are all considered strong generals. In the time of one stick of incense, all the candidates have completed their answers and entered the exam smoothly. After passing the three tests, although from Li Zhen's strategic point of view, except for a few people such as Hou Guozhong, Qin Huaiyu, and He Long who did not answer badly, the answers of most people were barely qualified.

If the first two rounds of selection can be regarded as warm-up, then the three rounds are the real thing—one-to-one!In short, the sixteen candidates draw lots to determine their opponents, and fight each other. The winner advances to the next stage, and the loser is eliminated. The outcome is determined entirely by personal force, and there is no chance of luck. Of course, the strength of personal force is one thing. However, luck is another matter. It depends on luck to decide who the opponent is. No, when Li Ji came forward with a wooden box full of labels, all the candidates held their breath. After breathing, everyone's face was full of nervousness, even Li Zhen was no exception...
