Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 621

In the era of cold weapons, horseback riding and archery is a compulsory course for generals on the battlefield.

Objectively speaking, archery on horseback has become an important martial art, thanks to the nomads in the north.Because when the northern nomads are strong, it is a disaster for the farming peoples.

Since the Warring States period, this disaster has happened from time to time. Relying on their horses as fast as the wind, they come and go without a trace, invade the land of the farming people, plunder property, kill at will, and turn the countryside into their pasture. They live in yurts and tents, and others cannot live in houses. They do not regard the farming people as human beings, but as their livestock slaves.

In this case, the farming nation had to fight back with an eye, so many national heroes appeared in history, such as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in the Han Dynasty, Yue Fei in the Song Dynasty, Zheng Chenggong and Li Dingguo in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and so on.

In order to resist the intrusion of nomadic peoples, the rulers had to pay attention to this martial art. In the past dynasties, horseback riding and archery were also taken as a compulsory part of martial arts, and even the content of horseback riding and archery was added to the liberal arts exam.

Therefore, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, although the martial arts of the farming people were not as good as the nomadic people as a whole, the royal army, especially those generals who commanded troops in combat, had horseback archery skills that were no longer behind the nomadic people.

Like Li Dingguo, Zhang Huan, etc., the skills of horseback riding and archery are outstanding, even those nomads who are good at riding and archery, like Mongolian Tartars and Manchurian Tartars, no one can surpass them.

Zhang Huan will shoot three arrows at once, and so will Li Dingguo.It was said that it was too late, and the cold light came straight to Zhang Huan at three o'clock.

Almost at the same time, Zhang Huan also released three more arrows, and the three-point cold light went straight to Li Dingguo.

This is really a contest of top experts. The tens of thousands of Da Ming army and Daxi army on both sides all closed their breaths and stared wide-eyed. They wanted to see who was superior and who was inferior, and who could shoot the other under the horse.

At this time, Zhu Yousong was most worried about it. It was still the same sentence that when two tigers fight, one will be injured. No matter who shoots the other under the horse, he is unwilling to see it.

Now that Zhu Yousong has activated his love for generals, this is also the so-called pity of heroes. Making a brave general like Li Dingguo surrender to him is tantamount to adding wings to a tiger.

But in front of them, the two of them are fighting to the death, the six sharp arrows in the air carry too much, attracting 10,000+ pairs of eyes including Zhu Yousong.

Dealing with three arrows at the same time, Li Dingguo has done it once just now, but is he still sure this time?
There is also the young general Zhang Huan. He is known as a sharp archer, but he shoots at others. What skills do he have in dealing with arrows shot by others?

Not only Zhu Yousong, but the generals of the Daxi Army and the Ming Army had different mentalities for a while.

The sound of war drums and shouts suddenly stopped, and the air seemed to freeze. In such a big scene, the sound of a needle falling could be heard, and the sound of sharp arrows piercing through the air was even clearer.

At this time, the miracle appeared again. With a burst of abnormal noise, six arrows collided in the air and all fell to the ground.

Obviously not a coincidence, all six arrows collided together.But it was impossible to tell which of the two of them was aiming at whose arrow, and who shot down whose arrow.

But Zhu Yousong knew that Zhang Huan was able to shoot down the arrows shot by others, which was his special skill.

But it was an arrow, and it was absolutely eye-opening to be able to shoot down the three arrows shot by the opponent with three arrows.

Including Zhu Yousong who has the physique of a warrior, the army of the Ming Dynasty, the Daxi Army, the 10,000+ army generals are unheard of.

For a full 20 seconds, the scene of so many people was silent, and they were all stunned by the scene in front of them.

Some stretched their necks and stared, their mouths were opened wide, and their tongues stuck out long.

Then they all cheered for their own people, and their voices became hoarse.

"My lord's peerless divine arrow!"...

"Excellent archery! General Zhang is indeed a master of archery!"...

10,000+ people shouted in unison, and the voice pierced the sky like rolling spring thunder.

Amidst the thundering shouts, the hearts of Li Dingguo and Zhang Huan were also shaken, and they were both amazed at each other's stunning arrow skills.Especially Zhang Huan, it's no wonder that his father died under his arrows back then, he is really inferior to others.

The two war horses also seemed to be stunned by the wonderful scene in front of them, and they all stopped and stopped running. The two beasts were fifty or sixty steps away, looking at each other.

Amazed at the opponent's arrow skills, but Zhang Huan remembered his mortal hatred, put away his bow and arrow, drew out his two knives and urged his horse to kill Li Dingguo.

After shooting Li Dingguo nine times in a row, none of them hit. Of course Zhang Huan couldn't shoot again, and it was doomed to be futile. He now knows what it means to be strong and have strong hands, and there are capable people behind capable people.

Although he knew that he was not as good as Li Dingguo in terms of sword skills, but he couldn't avenge him, and would rather die by the enemy's sword!
When Li Dingguo saw that Zhang Huan had changed his posture again, he put away his bow and arrow, and began to dance with his sword again. It was funny in his heart, and today the king will accompany him to the end.

So Li Dingguo urged his horse and swung his sword to kill Zhang Huan together.

While killing Li Dingguo with him, he said: "Forget it, you are no match for this king at all. This king has the virtue of being good at life. I can't bear to kill you today. If you are sensible, run away quickly. Don't think about avenging your father. Otherwise, I will kill you." The king will let you die on the spot."

"You fart, you bastard, I'm fighting with you, knife with knife!" Zhang Huan kept cursing, exhausting all his skills, wishing to chop Li Dingguo's men and horses into several pieces, but the more he The more he missed the cut, Li Dingguo dodged left and right, swiped the big knife in his hand, and easily deciphered his desperate ruthless move.

What the hell happened today, the bow and arrow don't work, and even the knife doesn't work?Zhang Huan was even more anxious, and he was desperate.

The most taboo in war is impetuosity, especially when you encounter a strong opponent. You must concentrate and go all out to spot the opponent's flaws and defeat the enemy with one move. Being impatient will only let yourself leak the flaws first. As the saying goes, haste makes waste. There must be mistakes, Zhang Huan is in this situation now, it's not that his martial arts are not effective, but that he is too impatient, and he messed up first.

Therefore, this time he was singled out with Li Dingguo, and he was overwhelmed after only a dozen rounds, full of flaws.But today he has made up his mind to die, he can't kill his enemy, he can't avenge his father, he would rather die by the knife of his enemy, so he is holding on here.

Li Dingguo saw that he was ignorant of current affairs and his temper was on the rise. Little Zaizi really didn't know what to do and wanted to die, so the king will send you to find your father!

Thinking of this, Li Dingguo saw the right time, and a little devil came to the big knife to push the mill, and took Zhang Huan's head straight with the horizontal knife.Zhang Huan felt it, but it was too late to hide or parry with a knife, so he closed his eyes and said to himself: "My life is over! Dad, I am incompetent, I can't avenge your old man, I have to wait for the next life... Farewell, Your Majesty..."
