Chapter 83 Angry Waves (3)
At about the hour of You, the camping site on the side of Baishi Mountain was established. After all, they were in the deep mountains. Considering the protection of the terrain and the need for hidden traces, the soldiers only needed to build the tents one by one without cutting down trees to build corner buildings and horse grilles and other defense facilities, so they were quickly completed. Although the sky was still very bright, the soldiers were almost exhausted after dozens of miles of steep mountain roads. At this time, they all went to rest.
Lu Yao was pulling Ding Miao to order many trivial matters. The two walked along the main road running through the camp when they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves trampling outside the camp gate.
The two looked at each other: Who would be so noisy?
When he stepped out, he saw that dozens of cavalry were divided into two teams on the open ground east of the camp, fighting against each other, pretending to be archery and stabbing spears. One of the young knights wearing black painted fine sand cage crowns and mixed brocade uniforms were particularly conspicuous. He rode through the people and horses running back and forth, gently lifting the reins and showing extremely clever riding skills. He hung a long-slit horn bow on each side of the saddle, which was called "double belts and two graffiti". It was obvious that he was a good archer who could shoot left and right. Under this person's repeated shouts, dozens of cavalry ran back and forth, which was intimidating.
"This guy looks a little nervous, but he is very energetic... Who is he?" Ding Miao asked.
"This is the Jizhou cavalry commander in Puyin, Beiping, the northern border of Zhongshan Kingdom. Liu Xia and Liu Zhengchang were ordered by the governor Ding to assist us. Because we marched quickly, he came from behind and only met with the brigade today. Therefore, you have never seen it. It is said that this man is known as brave and good at fighting, and he has been training troops. He once used dozens of elite cavalry to travel to Hebei, and the bandits were deeply afraid of it."
Lu Yao stopped talking and stared at Ding Miao for a while: "Brother Wenhao, when he broke up with Governor Ding that day, Governor Ding had specially introduced this person to us. Don't you remember?"
"Oh! Oh!" Ding Miao patted his forehead with a snap: "I can't remember what he said at that time... Daoming, my uncle has always been strict with me, but he has never recognized my willingness to serve the country. Alas, when I met with such an old-fashioned person, I felt very nervous."
Lu Yao nodded in understanding: "Wenhao, you are actually very lucky. Think about it, if the incident of beating King Xincai in the Hongxiuzhao in Yecheng spread and the governor Ding heard the news...will that not..."
"Don't mention it! Don't mention it again!" Ding Miao's heels softened and almost fell. He looked at Lu Yao's face and suddenly cried out in silence: "Have you said it to others?"
As he spoke, Ding Miao's face turned pale. This expression immediately caused several Bingzhou soldiers, including He Yun, Xiao Shi, Du Qin, and others behind Lu Yao to laugh.
Lu Yao quickly shook his head and denied it. It was interesting to say that Ding Shao was actually very concerned about Ding Miao, but his words were extremely stern. Even Mr. Yue Shi felt a headache when he was so arrogant that he came to Ding Shao. When he arrived in front of Ding Shao, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. The relationship between the uncle and nephew of the Ding clan of Qiao State was really very pleasant.
If you continue to investigate this matter, you are afraid that Ding Miao will faint. Lu Yao thought about it and gave up, so he turned back to the original topic: "Wenhao, what do you think about this Liu Xia? Just from what he saw at this moment, he is good at being good and has a good command."
Ding Miao yawned and said, "A mere pastoral slave rebelled, but it ended up being suppressed for several years. There is no one in Jizhou to speak of! Daoming, I am very sleepy, and I can leave even if I leave."
The so-called Mu Nu refers to the thieves of Ji Sang Shile. This group of people first rebelled on the Jizhou ranch. Therefore, Ding Miao called him Mu Nu. Compared with the Huns and Han countries that were so powerful that these thieves were naturally nothing in Ding Miao's eyes. Moreover, Ding Miaosu boasted of being unparalleled and no one was in his eyes. This time, he opened his mouth and derogated all the people in Hebei, and even his uncle Ding Shao was scolded. He also forgot that the one who killed his side in Yecheng was also the rebellious Mu Nu.
Lu Yao shook his head repeatedly: "Forget it, go. Let the brothers rest well, and we will use troops tomorrow!"
Ding Miao waved his hand and returned to the camp swayingly.
Lu Yao stood at the camp gate with his hands in his shoulders, continuing to watch Liu Xia train his subordinates.
The officer named Liu Xia was very fragile. He noticed Lu Yao's figure, then tied his reins and rode his horse out of the cavalry, went straight to Lu Yao, and looked down at Lu Yao from a high place.
This action was rude. Lu Yao was the general of the Yamen with a rank of 2,000 stones, and his official position was far above Liu Xia. Moreover, Liu Xia was ordered by Ding Shao to come to assist, Lu Yao was directly in charge of his boss. According to the law, he had not been wearing armor, so he should be worshipped. However, Liu Xia immediately stood in front of Lu Yao with confidence and leaned over to look at Lu Yao. The posture was natural, as if he was condescending to find Lu Yao to speak.
He Yun and other personal soldiers were immediately furious.
Lu Yao was very well cultivated and said with a smile: "Does Brother Zheng train in such a military force every day? It's really admirable."
From where Lu Yao is, you can clearly see Liu Xia's face. Ding Miao is already a successful general. Liu Xia is even younger than Ding Miao, almost between a young man and a young man. His facial contours are clear, his eyebrows are on his temples, his eyes are sharp, and he looks heroic.
Liu Xia looked up and down at Lu Yao a few times, and asked eagerly: "I heard that General Lu is a warrior in Bingzhou, and the Huns were frightened by the news. I wonder if you can shoot well?"
Before Lu Yao answered, He Yun behind him couldn't help but shout, "Who is you? How dare you compete with my general to compete for shooting skills? I'll see!" He was a hunter in Bingzhou and his archery skills were very good, so he responded immediately.
Liu Xia laughed and pulled the reins hard. The war horse neighed loudly and ran out, drawing an arc along parallel to the camp gate.
The war horse galloped like a dragon, Liu Xia tightly clamped his horse's belly, his figure rose and fell, but the part above his shoulders was as stable as a bell. After running a hundred steps away, Liu Xia shouted loudly, turned around and shot at the camp gate.
The arrow came so fast, like a lightning light. The guards around Lu Yao didn't react at all. On the left side of the camp gate, there was a thud of sound on a wooden stake about a stump from Lu Yao, and three arrows were hit. The three arrows all penetrated into the wood grain and arranged from top to bottom, and the arrows were only a few inches apart.
Lu Yao could see clearly that Liu Xia held the bow with his left hand and took the arrow with his right hand. He clamped one between his index finger and middle finger, middle finger and ring finger, and ring finger and little finger. This is the method of shooting arrows. Because it is very inconvenient to hook the strings under the condition of three long arrows in the finger palm, even first-class archers usually can only do two arrows in a row. That is, the so-called arrows not only kill single, but must be stacked double. Liu Xia shot three arrows in a row, and the arrows are so accurate and powerful, which is a magical skill.
At this time, Liu Xia turned his horse and turned around, and ran through the camp gate again. He held the bow with his left hand and took out another corner bow from the right side of the saddle with his right hand. Then he wiped the quiver with his left hand, and then put three arrows in his hand. The next moment, three long arrows were nailed to the wooden stake, and arranged in sequence with the three arrows the previous time.
He could actually shoot from both sides and arrows with both hands!
The so-called left and right shooting refers to the main hands that can be used as the shooting hand. When riding and shooting, a person sits on the horse with his legs fixed, and the rotation of his body is limited, so the shooting angle will be smaller than step shooting. If he uses his left hand to resist the bow, there will be dead corners on the right side; and if he uses his right hand to resist the bow, there will be dead corners on the left side. This will often become a loophole that is exploited by the enemy on the battlefield. If the left and right hands are used freely, the left and right hands are shot on all sides, and there will be no dead corners at all. Moreover, he puts a graffiti on both sides of the war horse, and the action of taking the bow arrow is faster than that of ordinary people.
Plus the superb continuous bead arrow shooting technique...
Such archery skills are almost the same as Tao. If the heavy force is here, it may be able to compete with it; as for He Yun, it is far inferior. He Yun was immediately discouraged.
Liu Xia pulled his horse back and glanced at the people behind Lu Yao. Seeing that they were all ashamed, he showed an even more arrogant look: "General Lu, everyone, if you don't want to compete with me for shooting skills, I wonder if you may use a spear?"
The horse lance is not a long-standing thing. However, in modern times, it has been used by many warriors because of its heavy and lethality. For example, Lu Yao, although he usually uses long spears, he also learns the skills of horse lances, which are quite the essence. So He Yun and others looked at Lu Yao one after another, hoping that General Lu could teach the ignorant boy in front of him a lesson.
