Daming: My grandfather is Emperor Hongwu!

Chapter 39 Killing Technique
One ride is worth a thousand.

In the racecourse, Sapphire galloped his horse.

Lu Feikuai made by the horse, his bow is like a thunderbolt and the string is startled.

The men and horses were as one, and rushed straight towards the guard cavalry who were pretending to be enemies in the distance.

At some point, a bow and arrow appeared in Sapphire's hand.

The bow and arrow in his hand is almost as long as half a man, which is not equal to the short bow and fast arrow that Hu people are good at using on horseback.It is a heavy bow that has been held by non-elite elites in the Chinese army since ancient times. It can break the enemy's heavy armor even a hundred steps away.

This bow is not easy to make, the body of the bow seems to have been forged for several years, not to mention the extremely elastic bowstring.

Amidst the sound of roaring horseshoes, Sapphire drew her bow like a full moon, and she had already opened it with one arrow.

There was a buzzing sound, the extremely real sound of bowstrings whistling and breaking the wind.Before the people outside could see clearly, the water jug ​​held by one of the opponent's cavalry was already torn apart and splashed everywhere.

"Okay!" After a while, Zhu Xiongying came to his senses and cheered happily.

It should be noted that those water jugs that are used as arrow targets and held above people's heads are running along with the horses, and there is no law at all.

The moment Zhu Xiongying cheered, the sapphire warhorse had already charged not far from the cavalrymen, shooting round after round with the heavy bow in his hand.

Bang bang, bang bang!
The kettles shattered one by one, everyone outside the arena was dumbfounded, and those Hu warriors under Zhu Di's command were dumbfounded.

At this time, Sapphire's war horse had rushed into the opponent's cavalry formation, and the opponent had only the last two kettles left, and the distance between the two sides was extremely close.

Sapphire didn't open the bow, but grabbed the bow and arrow with one hand and flew out like a javelin.

With a bang, a kettle rose into the air and tumbled down.

It was too late to say that, and before everyone could react, they saw Lan Yu stretching her ape's arms lightly on the horse, and she actually directly dragged the last person onto her horse, and tied his neck with a bowstring.

If it was on the battlefield, the enemy would have been strangled to death by him.

Outside the racecourse, there was no sound.

After a long time, Zhu Biao smiled lightly, applauded lightly, and said, "Marquis Yongchang, you are the enemy of ten thousand people!"

Zhu Di stared forward with an extremely complicated expression, but his eyes burst out with strong appreciation.

Lan Yu returned her horse, dismounted in front of everyone, and said, "King Yan is a thousand years old, what is your method?"

Zhu Di remained silent, then nodded slowly, "Brother is right, Marquis Yongchang is the enemy of ten thousand people, and my subordinates lost!"

On one side are the men of King Yan, galloping their horses and shooting those dead targets.

On one side are the sapphires, the erratic charging shots, the moving jugs.

It is clear at a glance which is higher and which is lower.

Lan Yu walked up to Zhu Biao, saluted and said, "Your Highness, I'm lucky you didn't disgrace your life!" As she spoke, she winked at Zhu Xiongying, who was dancing excitedly.

"It's a miracle!" Zhu Biao laughed.

"Marquis Yongchang, who did you learn your riding and archery from?" Zhu Xiongying also asked.

"I'm capable of fighting on the battlefield!" Lan Yu laughed, "I don't know how to show fists and embroidered legs, I can only kill!" As she spoke, she smiled at Zhu Xiongying again, "I'm in my prime, wait for your highness in a few years." When I grow up, I can still serve as your Highness, and make contributions to your Highness!"

At this moment, Zhu Di came over slowly, looked at Lan Yu, and the admiration in his eyes was beyond words, "This king just uttered wild words, don't blame the Marquis of Yongchang!" He said with a hearty smile, "I just heard that the Marquis of Yongchang is unparalleled in riding and shooting. , I just watched it today. It’s ridiculous that I, Zhu Di, have been a frog in a well!”

Then, he paused, and continued, "It's not a frog at the bottom of the well, but this king is too arrogant and has no one in his eyes." Then, he took off the waist knife directly on his body, "Back then, this king didn't have the chance to fight side by side with Marquis Yongchang. There is a war at the border, this king is willing to charge into battle with Marquis Yongchang!"

"This sword is my king's personal belonging. If you give a treasured sword to a hero, this sword will be given to you!"

Zhu Di joined the army as a young man, and under Xu Da's command he also went on an expedition to Mobei. Over the years, he has been on his own and has fought several battles with the Tartars without any defeat.There are many heroes of the Han family and Hu warriors under his command.So facing Lan Yu, who doesn't buy his face, and wants to kill the opponent's prestige,
But after seeing Lan Yu's ability, he cherished his talent, admired his skills, and shocked his courage.A little something came into my heart, the thought of recognizing heroes and valuing heroes.

When he did this, Sapphire didn't know how to answer.

Sapphire has always been soft rather than tough, but now that Zhu Di lowered his posture, he was a little helpless.

"Since it was given by the King of Yan, you can take it!" Zhu Biao said with a smile, "The Marquis of Yongchang shocked everyone with his skills, and the king of Yan Aicai personally bestowed the sword. It is also a good story for my Ming Dynasty to spread the word!"

Lan Yu took it, "Chen, thank you King Yan for a thousand years!" After saying that, he paused, "It's just a minister, I don't have any rewards for you!"

Zhu Xiongying had been watching silently, and suddenly realized that no matter whether it was Lan Yu or Zhu Di, they were actually the same kind of people.Follow the donkeys, follow their hair.

"I don't want your gift in return!" Zhu Di thought about it, and suddenly begged Zhu Biao, "Brother, the Tartars have been violating the frontiers for years, and they are eyeing the Central Plains. My ministers are at the border, and sometimes they are powerless. So, can you give me a favor?" Grace, let Marquis Yongchang go to Beiping or Liaodong to lead the army?"

"Nonsense, Lan Yu is the minister of the country, and the scheduling and promotion must be decided by the emperor. How can he interfere?" Zhu Biao frowned. Can you let him be controlled by others?"

Zhu Di's face was full of loneliness.

Sapphire, on the other hand, is in high spirits.

The current Sapphire is not 20 years after Hongwu, when he went on an expedition to fish the sea and almost captured the Northern Yuan Emperor alive.However, the princes, concubines, and prime ministers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty captured thousands of Sapphires.

Now Xu Da, Fu Youde, Tang He, Feng Sheng and other old Dukes are all on his head, pressing down like a mountain.Even Mu Chun is more valued than him in the army, and now he is all about proving himself and making contributions.

Zhu Biao's words undoubtedly gave him a reassurance.

"Jade can't be crafted without cutting it!" Zhu Biao said to Zhu Di again, "The famous generals of the Ming Dynasty are all trained. You are young now, and you are about to hone it more!"

Zhu Di nodded and said no more.

And Zhu Xiongying, who had been looking at this side without interrupting, suddenly pointed behind Zhu Di, "Fourth Uncle, your personal guard, why is he kneeling all the time?"

Everyone looked back, and sure enough, they saw Timur, the Hu warrior who had competed with Lanyu just now, kneeling on the ground in shame.

"Get up!" Zhu Di frowned.

"The last general lost face to the prince!" Timur whispered, "Apologize to the prince!"

This kind of barbarian warrior is the most upright once he regains his mind.And different from the division of upper and lower in the Central Plains, these Hu people have not been Sinicized for a long time.Serving under Zhu Di's command, he has regarded Zhu Di as his master.

Moreover, Zhu Di treated them with special kindness, not only giving Daming an official position, but also making their family and relatives have no worries about food and clothing, and their lives far exceeded ordinary people.

After Timur finished speaking, he suddenly drew a short knife from his waist and wiped it on his own neck.

"Bastard!" Zhu Di stepped forward quickly, and kicked the dagger in Timur's hand away at the very moment.

"Thousands!" Timur's eyes were full of tears, "Little man, I've lost your face!"

"Nonsense!" Zhu Di said angrily, "You are the king's personal guard, you are the confidant of the king, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, and the king will still blame you! Once you die, it will be settled. But you If you die, you will lose one of the warriors. Let me find it. Even if you find it, it is not you Timur!"

As he said that, Zhu Di put his hands on the opponent's shoulders, "It's just that I lost the competition, go back and practice hard, and I will win back in the future!" As he said, he smiled again, "Besides, you lost to my general of Ming Dynasty. Shame!"

Seeing this scene, Zhu Xiongying's understanding of Zhu Di was raised to another level.

Zhu Di not only has superb military talent, but also has a particularly grateful personality.
