Chapter 809: Losing streak in horse battle
"Dong dong dong dong~!"
"Mighty! Mighty! Mighty!"
The sound of drums sounded in the martial arts arena. Amid the sound of drums and the shouts of the soldiers of the three armies, a group of lieutenants from both sides rode their horses to the arena and began to compete in horse fighting.
Regarding the Jingzhou Army, Huo Jun took the lead.
This was specially arranged by Liu Qi.
Young people like Huo Jun have just joined the ranks of Jing Wu soldiers and have not been on the battlefield often. They need to accumulate experience most at the moment.
Although one-on-one combat is not the mainstream on the battlefield for the Han Dynasty, it is a very good exercise for young people to have him challenge Soochow warriors one-on-one.
Liu Qi didn't expect young people like Huo Jun to be able to defeat anyone. All he wanted was to increase the combat experience of these new era officers.
The first person on Sun Jianjun's side to fight was also a young general, the young Lu Meng.
Lu Meng is now only sixteen years old, but he has already grown into a strong, well-proportioned figure and has a rather majestic appearance. Although he is less than ten years old, he already has the air of a warrior general.
As the horn sounded, Huo Jun and Lu Meng rushed towards each other at the same time. The two men held long sticks and exchanged hands on the field. You came and I started the first battle.
Sun Jian's expression was quite serious. He squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the situation in the distance.
The soldiers on both sides began to raise their weapons and shout loudly towards the field to cheer for their own generals.
Lu Meng fought with Huo Jun for more than twenty moves, but Huo Jun couldn't hold on any longer.
His level of martial arts is average, and fighting fiercely on horseback is not his strong point. Now that he was defeated by Lu Meng, it is reasonable.
Huo Jun shouted to Lü Meng to stay, but Lü Meng immediately stopped, and Huo Jun thought he was at a disadvantage.
A military officer in charge of the inspection came forward and counted the pink spots on the two men's bodies. Lu Meng had only one spot on his body, while Huo Jun had six or seven white powder spots on his body.
There is no doubt that Lü Meng should win the first battle.
After Lü Meng's victory, all the soldiers watching Jiangdong's army shouted loudly, saying that the morale of Jiangdong's soldiers, both generals and soldiers, was greatly boosted.
Sun Jian's face has always been bad since he started practicing martial arts. It wasn't until this moment when he saw Lu Meng winning that Sun Jian's face showed a smile.
Liu Qi turned to Sun Jian and said: "Jiangdong is really a hero, and Wentai's public servants are really all warriors. Liu is really envious... I admire you, I admire you."
These words made Sun Jian feel very useful.
He rarely felt self-effacing, waved his hand and said: "It's just a fluke, not worth mentioning."
At this time, the second cavalry of both sides had already entered the battle.
The one fighting on Liu Qi's side was Jingman general Yangzhan Cenlang, while the one fighting on Jiangdong's side was Dong Xi.
These two people were considered rivals in chess, and they had a fierce battle with each other. Dong Xi came from a wealthy family in Jiangdong and had superb martial arts skills. Yangzhan Cenlang was a leader among the Jing barbarians and could be regarded as Dong Xi's opponent.
The two of them fought for a long time, and they didn't stop until the time for three sticks of incense was up.
After some inspection, it was found that there were seventeen white spots on Yangzhan Cenlang's body, while Dong Xi's body only had fourteen.
Therefore, Jiangdong's side won the second horse battle again.
After winning two games in a row, the entire Jiangdong side was full of momentum. All the soldiers of the three armies cheered loudly, and the shouts on the field were like thunder.
Sun Jian, who was always known for his cold face, couldn't help but smile heartily at this moment.
He gestured to Liu Qi's forehead and said: "It's a pity, it's just a little bit behind."
Liu Qi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What's the difference? It's just a little bit different. It's really a lot different."
After saying a few words, the two sides sent out a third general.
The cavalry commander on the Jiangdong side was Han Dang, while the one on the Jingzhou side was Zhao Yun.
When Liu Qi saw Han Dang, he was stunned. He looked at Sun Jian in surprise and said: "Han Yigong is a heroic figure under Wen Taigong. He has made countless achievements in the southern and northern campaigns. He is also the best at horseback fighting among the Lingzhi people in western Liaoning."
, why did you come out to fight so quickly?"
Sun Jian stroked his beard and said with a smile on his face: "Yi Gong is impatient. He doesn't want to procrastinate in everything. He is eager to face the battle, so he is ranked third!"
Liu Qi suddenly said "Oh", nodded, and said: "It seems that Liu's side may be in danger again in this round."
Sun Jian looked at Zhao Yun and asked, "Who is this?"
Liu Qi said lightly: "Changshan Zhao Yun, courtesy name Zilong."
Sun Jian had never heard of Zhao Yun's name before, nor did he know when Liu Qi had such a number one person.
"Zhao Yun? Sun seems to have never heard of this person. I wonder what position he currently holds under General Liu?"
Liu Qi smiled and said: "The current guard is the first guard of Jing Wu."
Sun Jian suddenly realized this, but he felt a little happy in his heart.
'You're just a guard, how can you be Han Dang's opponent?'
You must know that among the older generation of generals under Sun Jian, Han Dang was the strongest in horse fighting. After all, he was born in Liaoxi County, he was good at horses since he was a child, and his riding skills were invincible.
This round is basically a sure win.
"Bang the drum!"
As the order from the messenger was given, the sound of the drums 'Boom, boom, boom, boom!' was heard again, and Han Dang and Zhao Yun each clamped their horses' bellies and began to sprint towards each other.
Han Dang raised his long stick high and stared at Zhao Yun with a fierce look on his face. The war horse under his crotch rushed towards Zhao Yun like a whirlwind.
Zhao Yun held a long stick in one hand and rushed towards Han Dang unhurriedly. His expression was calm, and there was no wave in his expression.
"Mighty! Mighty! Mighty!"
The shouts from the Jiangdong Army were extremely fierce, and the expressions of the Soochow soldiers were extremely excited. In their eyes, they seemed to see another victory belonging to the Jiangdong Army.
As the two horses crossed each other, Han Dang shouted loudly and rolled towards Zhao Yun's head.
But he never expected that Zhao Yun's speed was really too fast!
Zhao Yun thrust out his stick and hit Han Dang in the chest.
Extremely fast! Extremely powerful!
With one blow, Han Dang was knocked away from his horse.
Han Dang had no idea that Zhao Yun would attack so quickly. His eyes turned black on the spot, and he fell to the ground with a 'bang' like a kite with its strings broken.
"Mighty... Martial..."
The shouts of Jiangdong's soldiers that were shaking the world just now were extinguished in an instant.
Everyone looked at the two people in the venue with their mouths open, not knowing what to do next.
Han Dang was hit in the chest by Zhao Yun, and his painful forehead broke out in cold sweat. He lay on the ground and did not straighten up for a long time.
There is no doubt that Zhao Yun won this round, without even counting the white powder on his body.
Sun Jian was on the stage, his eyes widened as he watched, and he could not speak for a long time.
There was only one voice in his mind at the moment - how could this happen?
