The friends laughed weirdly like "hehe" and then surrounded Qin Huaiyu.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Cheng Chumo asked his good brother in a low voice.
"What's going on?" Although Qin Huaiyu knew what they were asking, he didn't want to say it and just pretended to be stupid.
"Brothers, he's pretending to be stupid, beat him up!"
The little brothers vented their grievances one after another, and greeted Qin Huaiyu with a friendly fist.
"Don't fight, don't fight, I say, I say!"
"Say it quickly!"
Everyone stared at him with burning eyes.
Princess Jinyang, that is their goddess, everyone has fantasized about it, but no one dares to approach it, but today, Her Royal Highness the Princess actually started chatting with Qin Huaiyu, Qin Huaiyu must be tortured!
"Actually, it's nothing. I just wrote a poem during the exam and wanted to ask Her Highness the Princess for advice. I thought she would refuse, but I didn't expect Her Highness to be so kind." At this point, he blushed shyly.
Everyone: "..."
It's hopeless, this guy is hopeless.
On the other side, Li Lizhi also asked curiously: "Why are you walking with Qin Huaiyu?"
"He wrote a poem, let me comment on it for him." After finishing speaking, Jin Yang said thoughtfully: "Before, I always thought that Qin Huaiyu should be like the Duke of Yue, good at martial arts, but I didn't expect that he was also good at writing and calligraphy.
.”
Li Lizhi thought for a moment and said, "I heard that Qin Huaiyu had been studying hard with Du Gong and others in the year before the exam."

"Is that so? He's working really hard."
"Maybe."
As the bell rang, the candidates left the examination room.
The mood of the candidates was not high, and the adults did not dare to say anything disturbing. They just took their children home to eat in silence and waited for the next exam.
Friends like Qin Huaiyu were even more dejected.
Not only did I fail the exam, but something even more depressing happened.
"Why."
Those children sighed together in a strange place.
Five days passed quickly. Chinese, mathematics, geography, history, physical education, and written examinations were all completed. The last remaining item, riding and shooting, was assessed on the school grounds.
On this day, the candidates who were depressed because of the written test finally became confident.
School grounds.
The soldiers lit the brazier and stood solemnly, and the emperor led his ministers to the school grounds to watch the last exam.
The written test cannot be seen, but the riding and shooting test can be seen.
"drive!"
Li Zhen rode to the school grounds, dismounted, saluted the emperor, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the candidates have been assembled. Please give your order."
Li Zhiyun said loudly: "Start!"
"According to the order!"
Li Zhen got on her horse, held the flag high, ran back and forth on her horse, and shouted loudly: "The exam begins!"
The riding and shooting test is an integrated one and will not be assessed separately. In this assessment, all the archery targets are moving targets. This is an assessment event created by Li Zhiyun. Soldiers wear fully armed plate armor and hold up the archery target.
, move freely at two distances, fifty steps and one hundred steps respectively, and the candidates will shoot arrows. The person who hits the most targets within one stick of incense will get the highest score.
In addition, there is a further level, which is the second assessment, namely the 'Swimming Horse Target'.
The moving horse target is also divided into two levels: fifty steps and one hundred steps. Soldiers move back and forth on horseback and are also called "human targets". However, the arrows used by the candidates are "fake arrows", that is, there are no arrows.
, but wrap the arrow with cloth. As long as it hits the moving cavalry, the cavalry will dismount immediately.
There is no doubt that the scores for the swimming horse target are higher.
The entire assessment can be seen as two parts. The first part is the moving target for infantry, and the second part is the moving target for cavalry. The difference is that in order to prevent accidental injuries, the infantry wears fully armed plate armor, and the cavalry also wears plate armor, but
At the same time, the arrow in the candidate's hand was removed.
"The first candidate, Yuchi Baolin!"
Winter winter winter winter!
With the sound of drums, Yuchi Baolin rushed out on horseback.
His first test was the archery target.
During the entire assessment process, he had to move back and forth on horseback and could not stop to shoot, otherwise it would be considered a foul and there would be no points even if he hit the target.
This is the true meaning of the riding and shooting assessment.
When an officer lit a stick of incense, the examiner immediately yelled "Start"!
Immediately afterwards, the sound of drums suddenly became intensive, sounding like a charge horn.
Yuchi Baolin took a breath, held the longbow tightly with one hand, and stared at the moving infantry target that was about to appear.
This assessment is very close to actual combat.
It tests both equestrian skills and archery skills, as well as physical strength and endurance!
He had stayed in the military camp with his father Yuchi Gong, and knew that this was one of the necessary daily training items for the cavalry. Because once the Tang cavalry launched a charge, they first had to shoot more than three arrows within ten breaths.
Mounted archery, mounted archery, is not archery while sitting on a horse without moving.
Only those who need to accurately hit the enemy under the dual environment of high-speed movement, bumpy movement, and so on are the cavalry archers and the real elites. Only such cavalry are the Tang cavalry that make the enemy frightened!
What's more, cavalry on the battlefield must wear plate armor, carry bows, arrows, Tang swords, and long spears.
"Coming!"
He stared at the soldiers rushing out in front of him. He saw those soldiers wearing plate armor, holding arrow targets, running randomly fifty paces away, without any rules.
"drive!"
He spurred his horse to run wildly, drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and aimed it at an arrow target in front of him.
stop!
The arrow missed and shot out, hitting the target on the spot.
After the shot, the soldier holding the arrow target immediately retreated from the other side.
Yuchi Baolin did not delay and started shooting arrows again.
He only has one stick of incense in time, and within one stick of incense, he must shoot enough arrow targets to get a high score.
No matter how many shots Yuchi Paulin made, the number of archery targets fifty steps away never decreased, and soldiers were always coming to replenish the targets.
On the high platform, the emperor saw that Yuchi Baolin was very methodical in dealing with the moving targets of infantry fifty steps away, and had already hit more than twenty people. He couldn't help but respectfully said to Yuchi: "Jingde, Baolin is very skilled in archery."
"Haha, it's just a wither's little trick, it's not enough to praise." Yu Chigong had a smile on his face, and Cheng Yaojin looked disgusted.
Just when the stick of incense was halfway burning, all the moving targets fifty steps away were gone, followed closely by the arrow targets a hundred steps away.
This is the second half of the first part of the test, an archery target a hundred steps away.
This time, Yuchi Baolin was not as smooth as she was at the beginning, and several arrows in a row failed.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha..."
Yuchi Baolin was panting heavily while riding the horse. He could hardly hold on anymore. He kept running wildly on the horse and had to shoot arrows. This involved too many aspects and consumed too much energy.
First of all, to shoot an arrow immediately, you need to have strong legs. Because when you shoot an arrow, your hands cannot stabilize your body. You can only rely on your legs to clamp the horse's belly to achieve immediate balance, and then release your hands.
Secondly, if you want to hit the target, you have to focus on two things and focus on aiming at the target.
Finally, riding a horse is moving at high speed, bumping constantly, and stamina is consumed rapidly. The further back you go, the less stamina you have, and your concentration is rapidly declining.
The reason why the Turkic cavalry was so powerful in the past was because the Turkic soldiers grew up on horses and were already familiar with them. But if the Tang cavalry wanted to do this, they had to constantly improve themselves. The troubled times of the late Sui Dynasty were a melting pot that forged the powerful Tang cavalry.
The prototype of Tang Qi gradually became a complete form after continuously attacking and destroying other countries and sweeping across the grasslands.
That is, all the skills of riding, shooting, spearing, and thrusting are integrated into one.
Today's Yuchi Baolin can't do this. In the first part, Yuchi Baolin only hit six arrow targets a hundred steps away, and his results can be said to be mediocre.
