Beidawa, the largest lake in Guazhou Oasis, is located sixty miles north of Jinchang City, with a radius of nearly a hundred miles. It is shaped like a teardrop, also known as Teardrop Lake. The lake is not deep, and the bottom is clear, with reflections of white clouds.
Among them, the water and sky are the same color. In early summer, the shore of the lake is thick with reeds, flowers are in bloom, and grass is green. Birds are always flying in the sky, and animals are wandering around the lake in groups. The scenery is so beautiful that the sky is just right.
At this time, it was the time when the animals were drinking water and playing. A group of elk were walking leisurely by the lake. A few fawns were jumping around, playing, chasing each other, barking a few times from time to time, and occasionally running around in a crowd.
Go to the shore of the lake to drink a few sips of the sweet lake water and have fun.
A strong deer was standing on the shore of the lake. He didn't pay attention to the naughty deer. He just lowered his head and ate the young grass leaves, chewing them leisurely and calmly. Suddenly, there was a burst of
The breeze blew, and the deer seemed to hear a noise. It stopped eating in confusion and looked around alertly. A pair of short ears stood up and flapped from time to time. Its long, slender and powerful legs moved slightly.
Bend, ready to give the order to retreat at any time, at this moment, a burst of horse hoofbeats suddenly roared, and with flags fluttering, several knights rushed out from behind a low ridge, and surrounded Hu Pan like a whirlwind.
, the sound of horse hooves was heard, the earth trembled, smoke and dust billowed, and murderous intent surged into the sky.
"YoYo……"
The deer that was the first to notice the situation let out a long deer cry, kicked off its four long legs, and rushed out like lightning. In an instant, the deer group playing by the lake exploded and followed madly.
Behind the first deer, he ran desperately to the left, trying to break out of the encirclement before it was formed. As for the antelopes, wild boars and other beasts, they ran around in a panic, and the entire lakeside suddenly turned into a mess.
.[
Sixty steps, fifty steps, thirty steps, and when there was still thirty steps to go, he could break out of the encirclement that was about to close. The deer's eyes flashed with the desire to survive, and he neighed and tried his best.
It galloped forward with all its strength, its strong and powerful limbs causing grass blades to fly and dust to scatter. Unfortunately, its journey in life could only end here - but after hearing two strings ringing, two feather arrows whizzed across the sky.
Breaking through the space, it shot into the deer's body like lightning and thunder. One arrow hit the neck, and another hit the head. The huge impact force made the deer's huge body stunned, and it staggered to the ground.
The deer fell to the ground, throwing up a cloud of dust. Their slender limbs twitched a few times and then stopped moving. The herd of deer, which had lost its first deer, was completely panicked. The formation that was originally running straight forward became "chaotic" and actually ran apart.
They dispersed, but arrows came like locusts. Even though the elk ran extremely fast, how could they escape from the attack of "random" arrows? In just a moment, the herd of nearly a hundred deer except for a dozen lucky ones
Outside, everyone fell to the ground, the smell of blood filled the air, and it was desolate!
"Hahaha..." A burst of laughter sounded, and several horses rushed over. The burly Shi Fenggong laughed and rushed to the carcass of a deer. He reined in his horse and looked back at Xiao Wei, who followed him.
The others raised the big iron bow in their hands and shouted proudly: "I have won. Brother Zhang, I am willing to admit defeat. Today, I have the young prince as my witness, and I will not allow you to cheat. Haha, hurry up, light a fire for our family to barbecue."
, remember, the meat must be charred on the outside and tender on the inside, well, it must also be bloodshot, hehe, if not, you can lead our horse to wash and ride, hahaha..."
"Wait a minute, Brother Shi is happy too early. Although your arrow hit the head, my arrow didn't miss. Even without the little help from brother's arrow, this
The word "deer" is like death. How can we just say that you are the winner? It's a tie at best, young prince, what do you think?" Zhang Chaoyang rode up to the front, laughed, and pointed at the hair on the neck of the deer.
Yujian defended loudly.
"Nonsense, don't you dare to admit it if you lose? My little prince, you are a notary, it's up to you, we can win, and it's not bad if we lose." Upon hearing that Zhang Chaoyang refused to admit his loss, Shi Fenggong immediately said
He lowered his face and shouted for Xiao Wei to seek justice.
The Northwest Iron Cavalry is really powerful. They are worthy of being grown up on horseback, and all of them are so good. Xiao Wei accepted the invitation of Shi and Zhang, two heirs of the aristocratic family, to come to hunt yesterday. Along the way, he saw history.
The private soldiers of Zhang, Liu and other families all had extraordinary riding skills and accurate archery skills. They secretly sighed in their hearts. Seeing the history at this time, Zhang and Zhang had a dispute, and they both kept saying that they wanted to arbitrate by themselves. Xiao Wei then
He smiled slightly and said: "None of you won, Xiao Wang won."
"Um?"
"Oh? How do you say it?"
Upon hearing Xiao Wei's words, Shi and Zhang stopped glaring at each other and looked at Xiao Wei in confusion. They were confused as to where Xiao Wei's words came from.
"Ha, no matter who wins, doesn't Xiao Wang still have meat to eat? In this case, Xiao Wang wins." Xiao Wei laughed and explained unhurriedly.
As soon as Xiao Wei finished speaking, Shi Fenggong was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and said: "Hahaha... look at what the young prince said, I'm afraid we are both going to be the ones to attack. It's really better to hunt than to watch.
No, the young prince will have to show his skills later, Brother Zhang, Brother Liu, what do you think?"
"That's right, I've heard that the young prince is both civil and military. We are going hunting together today. The young prince doesn't want to be just a spectator!" Zhang Chaoyang also wanted to see what Xiao Wei's abilities were, so he started to make a fuss.
, on the other hand, Liu Mingli just smiled and did not join in the commotion, but his eyes also showed eager anticipation.
"Showing" one's skills? Ha, "showing" what, "showing" is ugly? Exactly! As a descendant of the royal family, Xiao Wei naturally knows how to ride and "shoot", but after all, due to limited conditions, his attainments in this way are only passable.
That's all. The actual law is comparable to this group of guys who have grown up on horses. How can they be willing to show their embarrassment in public? Along the way, I have already made up my mind to be a bystander. At this time, when I saw everyone united to express their defiance, Xiao Wei
But he was not afraid, and he smiled and said: "Don't you two hear that those who are good at 'shooting' don't 'shoot'? Ha, if Xiao Wang doesn't 'shoot', that's it. If you want to 'shoot', just 'shoot' Sirius."
If you two can discover Sirius, Xiao Wang can give it a try."
Sirius? See what Xiao Wei said, where can everyone go to find Sirius for Xiao Wei? Poor Shi, although Zhang and Zhang are both well-versed in literature, they are mainly martial arts after all. How can they be like Xiao Wei?
After hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded. They all looked at each other and laughed bitterly. They all pointed at Xiao Wei and laughed and cursed. The crowd became a ball.
"Mistress, mistress, you're so cute, you're running so fast, I'm exhausted." Just as everyone was laughing and laughing, Fatty Tang trotted up panting on a fat horse,
Poor Tang Da Fatty is already fat and has poor riding skills. Along the way, he was busy fighting with the horse under his crotch. He was already exhausted. He finally caught up with everyone and saw the prey all over the ground.
, his stomach immediately rumbled, he stretched out his fat tongue and licked his thick lips, and said with a smile: "Okay, what a fat deer, haha, mistress, you can start a gang, but
Our family is starving to death.”
Most of the people didn't like Fatty Tang, a bastard, but they all knew that this person was the most trusted person around Xiao Wei. Even if they didn't like him, it would be hard to say anything wrong to him in front of Xiao Wei.
, when they saw Fatty Tang yelling indifferently, everyone frowned, but Fatty Tang didn't pay attention at all, and rode his horse to Xiao Wei's side.
Laughing and laughing non-stop.
"Well, it's almost noon, and the harvest today is not small. Why don't we set up camp here? There is a lot of fine wine here, Xiao Wang. How about we have a drink here today?" Xiao Wei knew the history clearly.
The two Zhangs invited me out for hunting today just because they were drunkards, but Xiao Wei actually wanted to take the opportunity to "touch" and "feel" the history of the Shi and Zhang families. At this time, when he saw Fatty Tang suggesting setting up camp, Xiao Wei
Naturally, he would not object. He looked at everyone with a smile and gently asked for advice.
"Okay, what do you think, young prince?" Zhang Chaoyang originally planned to take the opportunity to chat with Xiao Weihaosheng, so he readily agreed.
"Okay, blow the trumpet and withdraw the troops!" Seeing this, Shi Fenggong would not object. With a wave of his hand, he ordered the trumpeter beside him to blow the trumpet and withdraw the troops. After a moment, the trumpet sounded, and the cavalry from various provinces who were originally scattered around rushed to the center.
They gathered together, and from time to time knights jumped off their horses to collect the prey they encountered along the way. The entire hunting ground seemed quite chaotic for a while, but at this moment, a shrill horn suddenly sounded from the west of Beidawa.
There was a sound, and immediately, groups of cavalry swarmed out from behind a ridge in the distance, rushing towards the hunting ground like thunder.
"Damn it, they're Uighurs!" One of the guards, the cavalryman behind Shi Fenggong, had the sharpest eyes. From a distance, he recognized the group of people coming to kill the general, and couldn't help but drink loudly.[
The Uighurs, originally a Turkic people, were dissatisfied with the oppression of the Turks and gradually moved westward, crossing the Altai Mountains and entering Mobei. After the Shunping Rebellion, the Turkic power grew, and the Uighurs were driven out again.
After leaving the Tianshan Mountains, they lived scattered in the Sha, Yi, Gua, Xi and Congling areas. They either relied on Yanxi or surrendered to the Turks. There were also many tribes who fully believed in the Black Bone Religion and became the vanguard of the Black Bone Religion's spread eastward.
The entire ethnic group has been torn apart and no longer unified. However, they all still call themselves Huihe people.
"Form up, form up, prepare for war!" Although Shi Fenggong didn't know which Uighurs were being killed, when he saw the menacing attack on the other side, how could he dare to neglect, so he pulled out the scimitar from his waist and roared
, ordered all the troops to immediately retreat and form formations. When the soldiers from various prefectures who were busy gathering prey heard the sound of the horn, they did not dare to neglect. They dropped the prey on their saddles and rushed back to their formation crazily.
, following the orders of officers from various prefectures, they hurriedly formed a defensive formation, waiting for the arrival of the Huihe people. The restless atmosphere in the air was extremely strong, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and the murderous atmosphere burst out...
