35, Li Jian bends the bow and shoots the tiger skillfully
"Damn, there are so many."
This is a word that Li Jian blurted out when he saw the border cavalry gathering.
Sixty thousand, this is a very broad number.
Specifically speaking of Li Jian’s personal impression, he was quite shocked when he looked at the endless cavalry formations in front of him, covering all corners of his sight.
This is the most cavalry number that Li Jian has witnessed with his own eyes in three lifetimes.
Sixty thousand cavalrymen, which is also the number of cavalry among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period today.
There were many war horses and cavalry gathered. Everyone was wearing short-sleeved tight-fitting Hu clothes, and long bows and arrows behind him. Manhu Zhiying was flowing and agile above his head, swaying in the wind.
This is a group of Lin Hu, Lou Fan, Xiongnu, and Zhongshan tribes conquered by Zhao State, and was formed with the Chinese in Zhao State as generals.
Just imagine, what would happen if the cavalry were formed with the Huns, Turks and Mongols in history, and the Han, Tang and Ming generals who were familiar with the military strategy were formed as commanders?
The border cavalry army of Zhao State was like this group of Hu people charged forward, and Han generals commanded the charge, and all the elite cavalrymen were shot in Hu uniforms.
The most well-deserved cavalry in the world!
There is a poem that says:
Zhao Keman and Hu Ying, Wu Gou are frosted and snowy.
The silver saddle shines on the white horse, swaying like a meteor. (Note 1)
The eighteen-year-old King Zhao stood on the chariot, and when he watched this scene, his heart couldn't help but feel excited.
"I, Zhao State man, is so mighty!"
General Lian Po and Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng acted as the chariots of King Zhao respectively. Lian Po smiled and said, "I'm going to hide it from the king of Zhao. If the Qin army attacked with the same force, our border cavalry army would be able to fight and win!"
Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng also smiled and said, "Over the years, the Qin State invaded Da Zhao, who had only dared to detour from the Taihang Mountains, and did not dare to come from the Central Plains. He was concerned about the strength of the Great Zhao Army as the world's number one!"
When King Zhao heard this, he became more and more proud and immediately smiled and said, "What are you waiting for? The whole army headed south toward the border of Wei, and held this year's spring hunt!"
When Lian Po heard this, he immediately pulled the reins of the horse with both hands and controlled the four pure white horses pulling the cart and galloped out.
After this chariot, the doctor General Le Cheng issued a loud order: "Come on and defend the king!"
Official Sanbailang tightly clamped his horse's belly and immediately surrounded the chariot where King Zhao was located.
Behind him, 60,000 Zhao cavalry moved slowly, like a shocking black wave, spreading rapidly towards the south on the green field, with an amazing momentum!
In the woods, countless birds rose up and flew into the sky with wings.
"Shoot!" A general of Zhao shouted loudly.
The next second, dense arrows rose into the sky like raindrops, instantly covering the entire sky.
The birds chirped miserably, pierced by arrows, fell from the sky with swaying edges, and became prey.
A cavalry surrounded the woods.
"Driving the beast!" A general ordered.
Soon, many wild beasts in the woods were driven out, from tigers, wolfs, bears, leopards, to dogs, rabbits, snakes and insects, all kinds of things were available.
"Kill the little one and save the big one, and drive a tiger to the king's side!"
Thousands of archers rushed over, and several rains of arrows fell. A tiger escaped from heaven and was forced to come towards King Zhao's chariot under the siege of many cavalry.
King Zhao watched the tiger rushing towards him, and he was eager to try it out, picked up the longbow and began to bend the bow and shoot arrows.
But King Zhao is good at the deep palace after all, and if the shooting technique is on the flat ground, it is really uncommon to be on the high-speed moving chariot.
The arrows came down, and they were almost shot at the Zhao cavalry who were driving the tigers next to them.
Seeing that the tiger was about to rush to King Zhao's chariot, Lian Po frowned, grabbed the reins of the four horses with one hand, and picked up a shield with the other hand to protect him.
Pingyuan Jun was not willing to be outdone. He picked up a big halberd and was about to fight the tiger head-on.
At the critical moment, two arrows swept through the left and right sides of the chariot.
The arrow on the left hit the tiger's right front foot, and the arrow on the right accurately hit the tiger's left eye, and then penetrated straight into the brain.
The tiger roared and rolled on the ground with a shocking and died.
King Zhao was surprised and happy and said loudly: "Who killed this tiger?"
Next to King Zhao, many officials shouted in unison: "Li Jian is good at shooting skills!"
King Zhao was overjoyed: "Li Jian is the king who killed the tiger, and he is a real warrior!"
As everyone's eyes watched, Li Jian rode forward, stood beside the tiger's corpse, and shouted loudly.
"Congratulations to the king and to Zhao State!"
For a moment, cheers resounded throughout the sky.
"Congratulations to the king and to Zhao State!"
King Zhao laughed loudly, put his hands on his hips, and was full of complacentness.
Not far away, in a corner where no one cared about it, Lou Chang put away his longbow and felt very upset: "Why did he shoot the foot? Why did he get the first skill by Li Jian, who killed the god? It's really angering!"
With a squinting look at Li Jian who was receiving cheers from everyone, Lou Chang was jealous and wished that the tiger was not the one who fell to the ground and died at this moment, but Li Jian himself!
Daliang, the palace of the Wei Kingdom.
The King of Wei and Xinlingjun had reached the middle stage, and the two black and white dragons were entangled together, from the upper right side of the chessboard to the lower right side, with a life-and-death momentum.
A follower walked over quickly and whispered a few words to Xinlingjun.
Xinling Jun nodded slightly and signaled his followers to retreat.
The King of Wei was a little curious: "Wuji, but what urgent matter is there?"
Xinlingjun picked up a white piece, slapped it on the chessboard, lifted off the third son of the King of Wei and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the servants are rude and disturbing the king. Please don't blame me."
King Wei said oh, picked up a black piece and landed it on the chessboard, and smiled and said, "It's okay. In this game, I will kill you, the big dragon, to avenge the last time the big dragon was robbed and killed!"
Xinling Jun laughed and said, "Your Majesty, I won't give in to you easily."
The two of them went back and forth, and after half an hour, the situation gradually came to an endgame.
There is less and less space on the chessboard, and the two big dragons are still entangled, and the outcome is not yet clear.
There was another sound of footsteps. The King of Wei, who was thinking about the chess path but was disturbed, raised his head unhappily and was about to curse people, but found that this time the person who came was his male favorite Long Yangjun, and he couldn't scold him again.
Long Yangjun looked anxious: "King, the information I just received, King Zhao led tens of thousands of elite troops of the Zhao border cavalry to go south and was about to arrive at our border. He may cross the Yellow River and continue to go south at any time!"
"What?" King Wei's face changed drastically, and he almost overturned the chessboard: "Is this King Zhao crazy? How dare he start a war against me like this? Come on, hurry up and Xuan General Jinbi to enter the palace!"
The scene was in chaos for a while.
Xinlingjun, who was sitting on the other side of the chessboard, smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, my brother's people have just reported to me. This is just that King Zhao is holding a spring hunt, not that he wants to go to war with our Wei State."
Xinlingjun was very calm and his eyes didn't even leave the chessboard.
The King of Wei was stunned: "Spring hunt?"
Long Yangjun looked quite unhappy and shouted, "Mr. Xinling, you are just making trouble. Can the elite scouts of our Wei Kingdom not be as good as those of the guests in your mansion? King, it is necessary to be cautious, it is important to be careful," he said.
King Wei took a deep breath and looked at Xinlingjun: "Wuji, this matter is not a joke!"
Xinling Jun smiled slightly and fell a white piece, which happened to be in the middle of the Heizi Dragon. He divided the originally surviving Heizi Dragon into two, and instantly formed a dragon-slaying game.
After this son falls, Bai Zi’s victory is a foregone conclusion.
"Don't worry, my brother guarantees his life. This spring hunt will never turn into a war between Zhao and Wei!"
Long Yangjun squinted his eyes, stared at Xinlingjun with an unhappy expression, and spoke in a cold voice.
"Mr. Xinling, no one cares about your life. The fate of our Wei Kingdom is the most important!"
The two of them started arguing.
The King of Wei felt embarrassed for a moment when he looked at these two people.
Xinlingjun, the younger brother of the King of Wei.
Lord Longyang, dear King Wei.
Who is better to listen to?
Another sound of footsteps sounded, and the general of Wei State, Jin Bi, stepped in quickly.
"King, the old minister has just confirmed the latest information. King Zhao led 60,000 Zhao cavalry to hold spring hunting on the side of Zhao's border line. At present, no soldiers and soldiers have entered our country's border!"
As Jin Bi finished speaking, Long Yangjun's expression was immediately extremely exciting.
Xinlingjun laughed and said seriously: "Now, the king should be able to believe me."
When the King of Wei heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It is best if Zhao State does not come to attack me. However, Zhao State cannot do any spring hunting on our border for no reason, right?"
Xinlingjun nodded and said seriously: "What the king said is very true. Zhao State suddenly engages in this spring hunt, obviously coming to target Queen Ying, who had just been appointed. Please rest assured. My brother has already made plans and will make Zhao State return in this operation in vain!"
