Everyone knows that Li Zhen was good at martial arts, but not many people in the Tang Dynasty had seen Li Zhen's martial arts. On the contrary, there are more than a dozen different versions of the legend about Li Zhen's martial arts. Some say that Li Zhen's martial arts is the best in the world.
, some people said that Li Zhen was just a wasted reputation, and they were all confused, but they never saw Li Zhen come forward to explain or show off his skills. Even Li Shimin never saw Li Zhen perform martial arts with his own eyes. Without him, in the past
, Whether it is a polo match or a field hunt, Li Zhen always acts as a spectator, and is the quietest one. Apart from smiling, she rarely speaks. Of course, Li Shimin still has some ideas about how good Li Zhen is in martial arts.
Qin Qiong, a generation of war generals, left his last words to Li Shimin before his death: The king of Yue was a great talent, and he was better than his masters.
In the past, Li Shimin would have really wanted to see how high Li Zhen's martial arts skills were, but now it was the time to select the vanguard of the army. At this juncture, Li Zhen proposed to show off his skills, but Li Shimin had to do more.
After thinking about it, I am not worried that Li Zhen is not good at martial arts and will lose the face of the Tian family, or even that Li Zhen is causing trouble behind his back, but that he is worried that the soldiers are in danger. If Li Zhen really goes out to fight with a seal, what if?
If you make a mistake, the fun will be great, right?
Li Zhen was calm by nature and didn't like to talk much since she was a child. However, she was very reliable when running errands and never asked for anything in return. This fact made Li Shimin very happy, so he suddenly proposed to come on stage.
Li Shimin found it difficult to refuse the competition request. After a moment of silence, Li Shimin waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm sure, let's go change clothes."
Haha, it’s done! Li Zhen was extremely proud of herself. To be honest, even if it wasn’t for the sake of protecting herself, Li Zhen still longed for the bloody battlefield. It was a pity that she was young and could only look at others helplessly.
This time, Li Zhen finally got the chance to make great achievements. When can she show off her skills?
"Yes, Father, I respect your decree!" Although Li Zhen felt proud in her heart, her face remained calm. She kowtowed respectfully, stood up, walked slowly down the high platform, and went straight to her group of guards.
Walking, although the steps were still steady, the slightly faster pace than usual revealed the excitement in Li Zhen's heart. As soon as the guards who had been waiting for a long time saw Li Zhen arriving, they immediately swarmed up to wait on Li Zhen.
Zhen changed her clothes and armor, pulled the horse and held the stirrup. After a long time of busy work, she finally put Li Zhen on the horse's back.
People need clothes, Buddha needs gold. This is true at all - Li Zhen, who was originally tall and straight, once put on the Mingguang Armor with a silver helmet and silver armor, and coupled with the snow-white Gao Zhan under him,
Ma, with a bright silver gun made of fine steel weighing sixty-four kilograms in his hand, has not yet appeared on the stage, and his mere appearance has won the applause of the audience.
The white horse under Li Zhen's seat is named Xuelongju, a famous horse from Dawan. It is an extraordinary horse and has a good understanding of human nature. It has been following Li Zhen for some years, but it has never experienced such a big scene. At this time, there was constant snoring, and all around
The hooves kept scratching the ground, and there was a hint of nervousness in the look of eagerness to try. The little appearance was quite interesting. Li Zhen gently patted the big head of the snow dragon colt, which comforted her.
Then, he shook the reins with a smile and said: "Drive." But he saw the snow dragon colt standing up, letting out a cheerful neigh, looking at the general platform not far away and rushing towards it.
"Report to Commander Li, the general is ready. Please give me the commander's order." Li Zhen rode up to the general stand, held guns in both hands, and reported loudly to Li Ji who was on the high platform.
Li Ji, whose original surname was Xu, was given the name Shiji and the courtesy name Maogong, also known as Maogong. Because Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, gave him the surname Li, he was named Li Shiji. Later, to avoid the taboo of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, he changed his name to Ji, Caozhou Lihu
(today's Dongming area in Shandong Province), he joined Wagang Village at the age of seventeen. He, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie and others were all partners in the same pot. They were very close to each other, and they often met Li Zhen in private.
He knew Li Zhen's martial arts skills well. Even so, seeing Li Zhen's heroic appearance like a dragon and a tiger, Li Ji couldn't help but secretly applaud him and looked at Li Zhen with interest.
Zhen waited for a while, then waved the command flag, indicating that Li Zhen could go on stage to demonstrate her archery skills.
Grandma is a bitch, it depends on whether she succeeds this time! As soon as she saw Li Ji waving the command flag, Li Zhen's mood suddenly fluctuated: After so many years of practicing martial arts, we have suffered so much, what are we trying to do?
?Isn’t it just to be able to go back to the battlefield? I am a junior in front of me. I can only stare at the battles and drool all over the floor. This time I finally caught the opportunity. If I don’t seize it, when will it happen?
Come on! Li Zhen took a deep breath, calmed down her mind, clamped the horse's belly, looked diagonally in the direction of the target and ran away.
Snow Dragon Colt is indeed a famous horse in Dawan. Once it starts running, it is so fast that it blows through the martial arts arena like a whirlwind. Seven hundred steps, six hundred steps, five hundred steps, watching the target getting closer and closer.
, Li Zhen, who had been sitting still, hung the bright silver gun in his hand on the victory hook of the saddle, took off the five-stone iron bow slung on his back, and took out three carved feather arrows from the arrow pot.
One arrow was attached to the bow, and the other two feathered arrows were held in his mouth. When he was four hundred steps away from the target, Li Zhen, who wanted to shock the three armies, opened the bow and released the arrow without hesitation.
Regardless of whether the arrow hit the bull's-eye, he took off the two eagle-feathered arrows he held in his mouth and shot them out in succession from a distance of 350 steps.
The arrow flew towards the dart target like a meteor piercing the sky with a strong whistling sound. A feather arrow hit the bull's-eye, and it was shot straight through the bull's-eye. The feather arrow, which was more than two feet long, only
With the remaining half of the arrow shaft outside, two feathered arrows were shot into the bullseye next to one feathered arrow. The entire arrow, except for the tail, had passed through the bullseye. The three arrows that followed followed.
It was an exaggeration. Not to mention hitting the red heart, it blasted a big hole out of the bullseye, and it continued to fly for dozens of steps before landing diagonally on the ground.
Dead silence, a dead silence, more than ten thousand people in the audience were stunned by Li Zhen's magical three arrows. Most of the people would exclaim for a while. In an instant, there were cheers and applause. Even the high-pitched people were stunned.
Li Shimin, who was sitting on the general stage, was also shocked by these miraculous three arrows. The smile on his face was extremely bright, and the palms of his hands were swollen red. Without him, Li Shimin was the emperor on horseback, and he was also good at riding and shooting.
, I have seen so many sharpshooters that I can’t even count them, but I have never seen such a magical shooting skill as Li Zhen.
Alas, I still haven’t reached the level of Dacheng. It’s a pity. God knows when I will be able to break through the one-line barrier. Amidst the cheers, Li Zhen did not show a trace of complacency. On the contrary, he was a little bit proud.
Unfortunately, without him, Li Zhen has been very strong since he was a child, and Qin Qiong, who is behind him, has paid close attention to strength training. Although he is less than fifteen years old, few people in the Tang Dynasty can match his strength, let alone those who follow behind him.
Li Jing has practiced the Guigu Sect's secret arts "True Yang Jue" and "Yangong Sword Technique", and his internal strength has been quite impressive. However, he is still far from achieving the "True Yang Jue", otherwise he would be
The last arrow should have penetrated the bull's-eye without shattering the bull's-eye due to the slight dispersion of force. However, even though he was still a little disappointed, Li Zhen could be considered satisfied if it could reach this point. She laughed at herself.
He smiled, put his horse on his horse and headed towards the general platform.
After Li Zhen finished shooting, this round of selection was over. The next two rounds were sand table deductions. Speaking of which, this sand table was still one of Li Zhen's "mysteries". Since Li Zhen dedicated this object in the seventh year of Zhenguan,
, Li Shimin was overjoyed and issued an edict to promote it in the army. All military generals should practice it. When they had nothing to do, the generals of the Tang Dynasty often practiced and fought on the sand table. Everyone could play it.
A few moves. Of course, this round of sand table deduction is not a duel between the candidates, but to answer questions. Specifically, it is to draw test questions and answer them on the sand table according to the requirements stated on the test questions, or to set up camp.
, or offensive and defensive drills, to name a few.
The test question Li Zhen got this time was to set up camp, which means to find a strategic point suitable for setting up camp in a complex terrain, and use fences and other molds to set up camp on the sand table. The time limit is one stick of incense. The requirements are: both
He can withstand the siege of an enemy force five times his own, and he can control the overall situation, making it impossible for the enemy to take a detour. Li Zhen has long been familiar with the sandbox, and faced with such a simple task
The test questions didn't require any thinking at all, and the answers came easily. In just half a stick of incense, Li Zhen had finished answering the questions, and she still had time to watch other people's formations.
Not to mention, these fifteen young generals who were carefully selected from various armies in Nanya were all considered strong generals. Within the time of a stick of incense, all the candidates had finished answering the questions and all entered smoothly.
After passing three levels, although from Li Zhen's strategic perspective, except for a few people such as Hou Guozhong, Qin Huaiyu, and He Long, whose answers were not bad, most people's answers were just barely qualified.
If the first two rounds of selection can be considered a warm-up, then the three rounds are the real deal - heads-up! In short, the sixteen candidates draw lots to determine their opponents, and they fight against each other. The winner is promoted and the loser is eliminated.
Personal force determines victory and defeat, and there is no chance of luck. Of course, the strength of personal force is one thing, but luck is another matter. Who the opponent is depends entirely on luck. No, when Li Ji's hand
When they came forward with wooden boxes full of signatures, all the candidates held their breath, and everyone's face was full of nervousness, even Li Zhen was no exception... dd
