Beat the drums, blow the whip, and blow the trumpet.
The martial arts performance officially begins.
There were three days in total. The first day was equestrian competition, with twenty riders from each country.
The equestrian martial arts performances of the Dachang Dynasty are not just straight-line racing where everyone rides a horse, but there are many tricks and many attractions.
It is mainly divided into three major categories: horse racing, horse training, and winning prizes.
Needless to say, horse racing is all about competing to see who can run faster, and that's all.
To tame a horse, you need to ride a wild horse, which is a horse without a saddle and a fierce horse that has not been tamed. The knight rides on it. During this period, the horse will toss in various ways, and it is normal for the horse to be thrown out and break a few bones.
As the four most powerful countries, Chang, Liang, Gao, and Ying, each has five knights and five fierce horses. I train your horse, and you ride mine. It's a bit like a scoring system.
In the afternoon, it was about grabbing the lottery. The so-called "cai" was a round ball made of cowhide, about the size of a head, filled with weeds. It was a competition, and everyone grabbed it.
It is worth mentioning that only Chang, Liang, Gao, and Ying participated in the horse-riding competition, because many of the missions were representatives of Fanman, and they were pouting in the mountains and forests every day. Let alone riding horses, they had never seen horse hair.
One stick.
The robbed ball should be placed in the middle of the field in advance. Four groups of people from four countries, one group of twenty-five people, a total of one hundred people. The riders gallop away, and those with fast horses and good horse skills will kick the ball with them.
Next, other people rush to catch up and snatch. After repeated competitions, when a team finally places the ball at the designated place, it is considered a winner.
It can also be divided into group capture and individual capture, which in layman’s terms is a big fight and a one-on-one fight.
Capture is highly confrontational and the competition is fierce, which can fully reflect the rider's fearless spirit and skillful equestrian skills.
The first one to enter was naturally the host team, Dachang Dynasty.
Yunhui General Tan Zhongping was dressed in military uniform. He was a very handsome old guy, with a white horse and a silver helmet. He had a good image. He was followed by 200 players, composed of palace guards, imperial guards, and Beijing guards.
Two hundred and one people, the team is neat, four columns, their movements are uniform, just like the two hundred and one clones.
The people got completely excited and started howling at the top of their lungs.
The people of Dachang Dynasty were enthusiastic and loud, but the only shortcoming was that they were untidy and messy, and they shouted all kinds of things.
Some yelled for power, some yelled for fuck's sake, and some yelled for hurry up. Most of them shouted to kill these idiots. It was like watching a life-and-death fight.
Chu Qing, who was in the audience, had a cold look on his face: "The quality of the people in Changjing needs to be improved."
Fu San nodded in agreement, then raised his arms and shouted: "Fuck him, fuck Liang Ronggo to death!"
Tan Zhongping turned over and dismounted, and the elite men behind him did the same, with uniform movements.
Chu Qingdao knew that this group of people had not rehearsed at all in advance, but many things had become muscle memory and were deeply imprinted in their souls.
Huang Laosi is not as stupid as Sun An. He can easily get winded by shouting and wave his hand, which means "Oh, next one".
Then came the envoys from various countries, walking on foot, followed by the contestants leading the horses.
Chu Qing leaned against the wooden pillar and was overjoyed.
Except for Yingou and Liangrong, all other countries were accompanying him, even Goguryeo.
These accompanying runners don't look like they are here to compete, but like they are here for a spring outing. They have to be in formation but not in formation, and they have to be energetic but not energetic. Many tribes of people don't even have horses.
The Ying dogs were a little better, leading the horses, and they were quite neat. However, the average height of these short mules was less than 1.5 meters. They were so short that Chu Qing even doubted whether the group of people had to be supported by their companions when they mounted the horses.
As far as equestrian is concerned, the only one who can compete with the Chang Dynasty delegation is Liang Ren.
Each of these Liang people were tall and tall, wearing light fur coats. They presented the emperor with the highest courtesy, but what they were thinking in their hearts was that the emperor of Chang Dynasty should die quickly.
The two emperors of the Chang Dynasty were very special. They both served in the frontier army, especially Huang Laosi. He could be regarded as a son who inherited his father's legacy. When he was still a prince, he would go deep into the grasslands with his elite to look for trouble.
Huang Laosi is very sharp, he is ruthless and quick, he cuts first and then burns, he comes and goes like the wind, he specializes in picking small tribesmen to attack, he can't catch them, he is so cheap.
The Supreme Emperor is a bit better. He is not as thief as the fourth child. When he was at the border, he rarely took the initiative and fought in an upright manner.
Therefore, everyone in Liangrong would probably hate Dachang Dynasty today.
The envoys from various countries bowed to the Emperor and returned to their respective places, and the first horse race finally began.
The martial arts arena is huge, but it only takes the blink of an eye for the horses to gallop back and forth.
But the difficulty of this event is that it is a "round trip". There are eight flags, four round trips, four on each side, and you can only take one at a time. The first team to get eight flags is considered the winner. The rule is that the winner is
The game ends when the player gets all eight flags.
With the people shouting and cheering in disorder, the game began.
There are only twenty-four horses, plus Chang Chao, eight delegations, and three horses per side.
With the sound of heavy drums, twenty-four good horses galloped wildly, and muddy water mixed with white snow splashed out.
Fu San shouted: "Master, it's Niuben, it's Niuwazi, look quickly."
Niu Ben, a guard in the palace, once served in the border army with Fu San. The two were ambushed by Liang bandits and became prisoners, and together they experienced life and death several times.
Chu Qing had seen this guy before. At the gate of the palace, Niu Ben didn't give him a good look.
However, when Chu Qing was later imprisoned in the Tianlao, Niu Ben risked the whole family being executed and drew a map for Fu San, asking Fu Sanjie to send him to the Tianlao (head).
"Niu Wazi has superb riding skills. You can tell at a glance that the horse is a good horse." Fu San jumped up excitedly and shouted: "Fuck you, Niu Wazi, go, go, go."
The courtiers in the side stands were startled, and then they discovered that there were two people hiding in the lower right corner.
Thirty-two riders and thirty-two horses were chasing each other, which made the people excited.
The same was true for Chu Qing. Looking at those vigorous figures, he secretly decided to learn to ride a horse as soon as possible.
In fact, he likes horses very much, and he likes this kind of heroic and sturdy animals.
In ancient times, the horse symbolized the mighty and fearless spirit. After being conquered by humans, it worked silently. When the owner needed it, it was generous and danced excitedly for the owner's success without asking for anything in return. When the owner was dissatisfied,
It will spy on the owner's expression, and all its actions will follow the owner's wishes.
In many military units, it is important to treat horses as family members.
Chu Qing, who followed the Romans in his hometown, also wanted to find a good horse to ride on and run wildly.
There is a saying among the frontier troops that the most courageous thing is not the man, but the war horse.
You must know that in later generations, horses are no longer used by humans, and are replaced by more convenient means of transportation. However, animals like horses have not shown dissatisfaction because humans have abandoned them. They are still loyal and just wait silently.
Waiting for the day when human beings need it again, they will run wildly again and dedicate their loyalty and everything.
When humans need it, it will give everything, never ask for credit, never show off its great dedication to humans, it will just pay until the end of its gray-haired life, and when humans don't need it, it will continue to wait silently.
Chu Qing's blood was boiling. He looked at the knights galloping and shouted, "Come on."
The first flag was taken, and it was Niu Ben. The horseman stood upright on his crotch. Niu Ben bent down and grabbed the flag from the guard's hand like fishing for the moon in the water. He turned the horse's head and ran again. His movements were smooth and smooth.
Following closely behind him was a Liangrong man, only half a horse behind Niu Ben.
Although he was ranked second, this Liangrong man did not show any urgency on his face, and even paused slightly when holding the flag.
Niu Ben was still first. This time, Chu Qing was close and could see clearly.
When Niu Ben turned his horse around again, the Liangrong man had just gotten the second chess piece, still taking his time.
Seeing Niu Ben maintaining the lead, Chu Qing raised his arms and shouted like a madman.
"Suwei,suwei,suweisuweisuwei!"
Fu San also shouted: "Suwei, Suwei, Suwei, Suwei."
The detective horses of the Qianqi Camp who were looking around in the distance shouted when they saw the man carrying the handle, and they also shouted together.
After a while, there was only one sound left between heaven and earth.
"Suwei, Suwei, Suwei, Suwei!"
"Suwei, Suwei, Suwei, Suwei!"
Chu Qing laughed loudly: "Shake it up!"
Seeing that Niu Ben got the fifth flag, except for the Liangrong man, the other flag-bearers only got four flags.
It can be said that Niu Ben has secured the victory, and the monarchs and ministers in the stands all smiled.
After all, they are elites and big shots, so it's not appropriate to shout and yell, so they smile very reservedly.
But soon, their smiles solidified.
Because the Liangrong people who were following behind suddenly whistled, then clamped the horse's belly and ran after the bull.
But then, everyone was dumbfounded. What dumbfounded all the onlookers and ministers was that the other three Liangrong people heard the whistle and threw away the others in the blink of an eye. The speed of going back and forth was getting faster and faster. quick.
Chu Qing suddenly had a terrible guess.
And this guess was confirmed.
After the Liangrong man surpassed Niu Ben, the second man also surpassed Niu Ben, until the three Liangrong men all surpassed Niu Ben and got the eighth chess piece almost at the same time.
The expressions of Chu Qing and Fu San, or rather all of them, were the same, dull.
Dachang Dynasty, lost?!
Not only did he lose, he was also humiliated!
Because Liangrong people have been giving in to others, no, not giving in, but making everyone happy first, and finally giving everyone a big bag.
The leading Liang Rong knight, after taking the eight flags, looked slightly at the monarchs and ministers in the stands, with a faint smile on his lips and eyes full of sarcasm.
Dachang Chao's face was completely disgraced.
Huang Laosi suddenly stood up, and the veins on his forehead were prominent.
Sitting on the stool, Yu Tianlun, the minister of Honglu Temple, seemed to have been cast a restraining spell. At this moment, he hoped that everything in front of him was an illusion.
There were tens of thousands of people in the martial arts arena, and there was silence.
