"Your Majesty is so kind to my general, and I will never forget it." Seeing that Li Xian had exchanged a top-quality horse for the opportunity to learn spearmanship, Xue Ne was so moved that he quickly held Li Xian's hand.
He expressed solemnly.
Li Xian chuckled and said: "It's just a royal horse. It doesn't matter. Brother Xue, you're welcome. Haha, Xiao Wang has long heard that your father is superb in martial arts and is the most brave general in the Tang Dynasty. The so-called tiger
My father has no dog son, so I believe that Brother Xue’s martial arts must be good. Now that Xiao Wang is lucky enough to learn martial arts with Brother Xue under the old general Cheng, they can learn from each other and complement each other’s strengths. I believe it will be more beneficial to Xiao Wang.”
"To the king, a royal horse may not mean much, but to the general, it is a great kindness." Xue Ne looked solemn and bowed to Li Xian. Although he didn't say anything, he already had repayment in his heart.
With a personality like his, there are many things that he may not be able to say, but once he says them, he will definitely fulfill his promises. There are even many things that he will definitely keep even if he doesn't say them.
Now, even though he only said one word to Li Xian and never forget it, he will definitely remember the favors Li Xian gave him.
Next, Li Xian did not let Xue Na continue to say anything, but instead concentrated on learning spearmanship from Cheng Yaojin with Xue Na.
In fact, Cheng Yaojin was prepared to accept Xue Na from the beginning, just to help Li Xian conquer him so that he could become Li Xian's helper in the future, so he deliberately made things difficult. Now that his goal has been achieved, he has put aside his previous
Instead of being indifferent, he introduced each move to them very enthusiastically and in detail, what its intention is, what are the key points of the movements, and the methods and techniques of practice. Then he asked Li Xian and Xue Ne to practice one by one, and then corrected them bit by bit...
…
In this way, Cheng Yaojin continued to explain for nearly two hours. It was not until the training of the soldiers guarding the camp was completed, the soldiers attacking the city also returned to the camp, and the signal to eat was given, that it finally ended.
And even in these two hours, Cheng Yaojin only explained a small part of this set of marksmanship, which shows how complicated and complicated this set of marksmanship is.
After lunch, the garrison soldiers took on the heavy responsibility of defense, while the siege soldiers went to rest. However, Li Xian and the others did not care about this. Instead, they waited until lunch was over, took a short rest, and then continued to the small
Learn gun skills in the school field.
In fact, Li Xian and Xue Na were both young people and did not need to rest at all, but they had to take care of Cheng Yaojin. After all, they were already eighty years old. The martial arts training and preaching before lunch took a lot of energy.
Fortunately, Lao Cheng was strong and in high spirits, so he only rested for half an hour before calling Li Xian and the others to go to the school to practice martial arts.
This time they practiced until the sun went down. If it weren't for the elderly Cheng Yaojin, they wouldn't even want to eat dinner. After this afternoon, Li Xian and Xue Ne both felt extremely excited, because they increasingly discovered that this
The wonder of holstering is like seeing a rich treasure, and this treasure has no protection, just waiting for them to mine.
"Haha, that's all for today. The two of them understood this marksmanship so quickly, which is beyond Lao Cheng's expectation. However, after all, they are just talking on paper. Although they understand most of the marksmanship moves, they still need to practice.
It is very difficult to achieve proficiency without several years of practice, especially for the King of Zhou. This set of spear skills is very similar to what you practiced in the past, so when you use it, it may not be affected by the past spear skills. Therefore,
Extra attention is needed. Starting from tomorrow, the two of you will start practicing continuously. Once you are proficient, you can simulate the battle. During this period, if you have any questions about spear skills, just ask."
Cheng Yaojin stood up slowly, relaxed his muscles and bones, then rode the Qingshuang horse presented by Li Xian and left leisurely.
"Brother Xue, how did you learn today?" Even though Li Xian had an amazing memory, after a whole day of listening to lectures, he felt his head was spinning. He rubbed his temples and asked with a smile.
Xue Ne's memory is not as good as Li Xian's, and he feels very tired. However, he is tenacious by nature, especially since he finally got this opportunity to learn art, so he cherishes it even more. Now that he sees Li Xian asking this question,
He also smiled and said: "Fortunately, I was able to persist until the end."
"Haha." The two looked at each other and couldn't help but clasp their hands and laugh.
After laughing for a while, the two continued to exchange their experiences of the day, and eventually even Zhang Wuchen and Dou Xiantong joined in.
Xue Ne was quite dissatisfied when he saw that Zhang Wuchen and Dou Xiantong didn't know their superiority at first, but after exchanging a few words, they found that the company's understanding of this spear technique was even deeper than his own, so he immediately abandoned it.
prejudice, and communicated with them sincerely.
The four people just forgot to eat and rest, and discussed the shooting skills day and night. In the blink of an eye, two months had passed. During these two months, the Tang Dynasty fought more than ten times with the Goguryeo army. Although they won more
Although the defeat was small, it was difficult to conquer this city suddenly.
On this day, Li Xian and others still gathered together to discuss gun skills. As they discussed key points, several of them forgot to return to the camp. They did not give up until Li Ji found them at midnight with food.
"Li Gong, how is the battle today?" Li Xian saw the smile on Li Ji's face and expected that the situation should be about the same, so he said with a smile.
Sure enough, Li Ji smiled and said, "To be honest with you, your Majesty, today's battle went very smoothly. When I saw that the enemy troops were well guarded, I ordered a strong attack. As a result, I attacked for two hours without moving a single corner of the wall."
"Oh? That's it. Congratulations. I think it won't take long. Li Gong will definitely be able to successfully capture the new city. After the new city, many surrounding cities will definitely surrender after seeing the victory of my Tang army." Li Xian laughed.
He cupped his fists at Li Ji and said.
Seeing that Li Xian really understood his strategic intentions, Li Ji immediately smiled and nodded in admiration: "Your Majesty is indeed smart, but I hope you won't tell others about it, otherwise my plan will not work."
"This is natural. How can Xiao Wang ignore the interests of the Tang Dynasty?" Li Xian nodded and chatted with Li Ji for a few more words before giving up.
When Li Ji and Xue Ne walked away, Dou Xiantong finally couldn't help but ask: "We fought for two hours without moving a corner, so the old man actually said that the battle went well? Is there something wrong with his head? And you,
To be able to smile so happily, people like you are really unreasonable."
When Li Xian heard this, he laughed dumbly and said: "This is the plan of Mr. Li to arrogant enemies. In three months at most, Mr. Li will lure the enemy troops out of the city and then destroy them with an ambush, or launch a surprise attack to catch the enemy troops by surprise.
Sigh, it’s really hard to imagine that even though you were born in the military and became a famous general, you couldn’t even see through this little trick. It’s really hard to imagine how you fought against the officers and soldiers in the first place?”
"Hmph, I only received martial arts from my mother. As for the art of war, I am not interested at all. Otherwise, how could I be deceived by an unscrupulous person like you? On the contrary, my little sister did not learn martial arts and specialized in the art of war.
By the way, didn't Old Man Li just mysteriously ask Thor not to reveal his plan to outsiders? Why did he mention it to me again today?"
"Haha, can you still be considered an outsider?" After hearing Dou Xiantong's questioning, Li Xian didn't take it seriously at all and said with a smile.
"That's not bad. I finally have a conscience." Dou Xiantong was very pleased with Li Xian's words and felt very proud. Zhang Wuchen, who was watching silently, shook his head secretly.
In fact, in this army, Zhang Wuchen is the only one besides Li Xian who knows the true identity of Dou Xiantong. He even knows the identity of Dou Xiantong after he turned against the thief. However, Zhang Wuchen deeply knows that Li Xian is a potential thief.
In this case, what is unacceptable? What's more, the other party is still a young girl in her twenties, and her relationship with Li Xian is also somewhat unclear. How can he care about such a woman?
?How dare you compare with it? In addition, as Li Xian's confidant, Zhang Wuchen always knows what to say, what not to say, and can't even remember what to say, so although he spends most of his time with Li Xian,
Dou Xiantong protects Li Xian together, but their division of labor is very clear. They are almost in harmony with each other, and they do not exclude each other.
The next day, several people discussed gun skills together again, from the time the army set out for battle until the red sun set in the west. At the end, the more they discussed, the more interested they became, and finally they couldn't help but start taking action.
Of course, the main ones who took action were Li Xian and Xue Na. Due to Zhang Wuchen's calm nature and his duty as a minister, he naturally would not do this. The reason why Dou Xiantong did not choose to take action was what she later told Li Xian.
In one word, it was to give Li Xian face in front of outsiders.
The result of this competition between the two sides was that Li Xian was slightly better!
This was actually expected by Zhang Wuchen and Dou Xiantong, but Xue Na found it incredible because he thought he was three or four years older than Li Xian, had studied martial arts longer than Li Xian, and was even attacked by Cheng Yao.
Jin also praised him more often than Li Xian, but now such a result is really unacceptable.
The strong feeling of not admitting defeat made Xue Ne couldn't help but challenge Li Xian again, but this time he still lost to Li Xian, and he was defeated within a few moves, and he suddenly felt a great loss.
"I originally thought that King Zhou was able to win Uncle Cheng's favor, but because of his status as a prince, I felt a little dissatisfied. Now I know that this person's aptitude for martial arts is far superior to mine. In this way, Uncle Cheng
At that time, I must have known about this person's martial arts qualifications, so I agreed to teach him martial arts. However, although I was forced to become a disciple of Uncle Cheng, my understanding of the moves is really not as good as that of King Yuan of Zhou."
Xue Ne thought for a while, shook his head again, and smiled secretly: "Actually, why do I have to compare with him? He is a nobleman of the royal family. Even if he doesn't practice martial arts, how can I compare with him? Last time
He helped me at all costs, so why can’t I repay him?"
Thinking of this, Xue Ne smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, when it comes to spear skills, I am really willing to be defeated, but I don't know how your archery skills are? I have learned a good archery skill from my father since I was a child. If your Majesty doesn't
I despise it, so in my spare time I will dedicate the cloud-penetrating archery skills taught by my father to the king."
