Chapter 9 The Journey (5) Jumping and Getting Ready (Part 2)
Shule City, the Shule Kingdom and the Datang Governor's Mansion.
On the north bank of the Chi River (Kashgar River), a large city with earth and stone structures stands tall.
On the first day, after 30 steps and 30 steps and 30 steps and 30 steps and 30 steps and 30 steps and 40 steps and 40 steps and 40 steps and 40 steps and 40 steps and 40 objects are passed, qualified people will be allowed to enter the next stage. In fact, all young heroes who can be selected by Shule Town and Yutian Town will naturally have some research before coming. The above conditions are really not worth mentioning for these young men.
But starting from the second day, people who were more than seven out of ten and more than five out of ten were formed to form a group of Yueqi group, and the remaining people were in another group, with a total of one hundred and two people clearly distinguished in one moment - there were only 30 people in the "Yueqi" group, Sun Xiurong and Yang Shouyu were all reorganized, while the remaining seventy-two people entered the "Zhisheng" group.
The Yueqi group will naturally be used as elite cavalry in the future, while the Shooting Group will only exist as infantry in the future. Of course, in the Tang army, there are no special archers. Generally speaking, iron-armored infantry will generally carry strong crossbows, spears and horizontal swords on their backs, and some will also carry mo swords. Only light infantry will carry bows and arrows. These people can reach the level of five out of ten in the field and three out of ten in the cavalry. Whether it is ordinary cavalry or ordinary infantry (the Tang infantry also rides a horse), and after joining the palace, it is also a priority for promotion.
But for these arrogant young men, their only purpose of coming to the dance camp was to become the soldiers of the generals, wearing bright light armor and red cloaks, and then passing through the streets and alleys to become idols in the girls' hearts. How could they walk on the street with a spear?
After becoming a member of the Ejaculation Group, all this was shattered. How could they not be sad?
For the thirty teenagers who entered the Yueqi group, they naturally smiled.
In Shule City, there are military camps near the east and west gates, which naturally became the place for two groups to perform martial arts again. Since Dongcheng was the military camp of the foreign army of the Shule Kingdom, it became the martial arts field of the Shosheng group, and the military camp of the guards in the east naturally became the venue of the Yueqi group.
On the platform at the north end of the military camp, the 40-year-old deputy envoy of the Jiedushi, deputy escort of Anxi, and the Shule escort Fu Menglingcha sat upright in the middle. The Shule escort Zhao Chongyan and the Deputy Envoy of the Jiedushi Gao Xianzhi took their seats one left and one right. As for the former Jiedushi escort Cheng Qianli, who was naturally not in the mood to watch the selection of the trekking camp here, he wanted to go to Kucha to report. He heard that he would be transferred to Beiting as the Deputy Advocate, but before the matter was settled, everything had variables. Cheng Qianli quickly asked the Jiedushi Gai Jiayun to ask clearly. Of course, a treasure he had plundered from his long-term position in Yutian Town was to be offered.
The first thing to compete was archery. In this regard, Yang Shouyu was naturally superior to everyone. He was far ahead of him, whether it was stairs or stairs, but Sun Xiurong was also super excellent. At the beginning, he was second only to Yang Shouyu in both stairs and stairs. In addition to the two of them, there were also two others that made Sun Xiurong look at him with some admiration.
A boy brought by Gao Xianzhi from Yutian Town, named Li Siye, was so tall that he was too big. He was obviously at least two meters away. Not only that, he was also extremely strong. Although he was only twenty years old, his face looked really old and looked at least thirty years old. His thick beard complemented by his tall figure.
Although Li Siye's archery level has also reached the top 30, he is at the end of the top 10 after the re-examination. Because he is extremely strong, he can also pull the heaviest nine-stone arch of the Tang Dynasty, but his shooting skills are not as good as Yang Shouyu and Sun Xiurong. It is obvious that he is not determined to be here.
Another person's shooting skills are also magical.
The man was named Tai Ranmeng, Shi Guoren, who was only twenty years old. His shooting skills were stronger than Sun Xiurong. After the target of the step shooting continued to move backward, even Sun Xiurong, a master with the scientific archery skills of later generations, was surrounded by excellent archery skills in the grassland and forest tribes in the late Ming Dynasty. He also shot eight out of ten shots, but only he and Yang Shouyu still hit every shot.
The man wore a flower hat with a typical Central Asian style. In the middle of the flower hat was inlaid with a fiery red gem, which is what they commonly call the whisker. The gem was carved with flames that seemed to be flashing.
Such people are obviously people who believe in Jackology.
Tai Ranming's techniques are the same as Yang Shouyu, and they have their own unique skills, which are very different from others. At first glance, they are talented. He is different from the short and strong Yang Shouyu. He has a medium figure, fair and handsome face, and has short beards. At first glance, he doesn't look like a person who can be outstanding in shooting skills, but even when he competes with Yang Shouyu until the end, he only loses five steps in the end.
Such shooting techniques are very rare in previous dance camps, especially Yang Shouyu, Thailand, Teresa and Myanmar, which made the entire archery competition reach its climax.
The last three are: Yang Shouyu, Tai Ranmian and Sun Xiurong.
Note that at this time, although most of the deputy governors of Anxi were served by the governor of the Neixi, the two had divisions. Beiting mainly governed the substitute of the Western Turks, Tuqishi, and most of the northwest tribes, while Anxi mainly governed the nine surnames of Zhaowu in Central Asia. Therefore, as the prince of Shi, Tai Ranmian and Myanmar, to attend the dance camp in Shule Town. Of course, no matter what the achievements of Tai Ranmian and Myanmar are, the Tang government will definitely give him an honor to show his favor.
After the archery competition, in addition to Tai Ranmeng, Yang Shouyu and Sun Xiurong naturally became the target of the three people sitting on the stage and the many generals behind them. Fu Meng Lingcha also personally called Yang Shouyu to the stage to express condolences.
With the eyes of jealousy, jealousy or admiration, Yang Shouyu, who was only more than five feet tall, walked up to the platform tremblingly.
After he came to power, he saluted Hu Meng Lingcha. His behavior was like a real low-class mansion soldier. If he was generous, it would be a bit strange. Therefore, Hu Meng Lingcha and others smiled, but they all contained encouragement.
"Where is your hometown?"
Just now on the stage, Meng Lingcha naturally carefully looked at each person's files. At this time, the Tang Dynasty was very strict, and the origin of each person was naturally clearly registered.
"Report to the guard commander, Youzhou"
"oh?"
"A certain county in Youzhou" is naturally registered on the list of descendants of Yang Shouyu and other rebels, but Yang Shouyu's appearance attracted the attention of Fu Meng Lingcha. Fu Meng Lingcha was a Qiang person, specifically Dangxiang Qiang person. He originally lived in Qinghai and Gansu areas in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. After the rise of Tubo, Dangxiang Qiang was also driven to migrate to the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Compared with the Tubo people, the Tang Dynasty was indeed much more favorable.
"I'm talking about your former hometown"
"This, ahem, I heard from my grandfather that it should be in the Longyou area, so I didn't know it before."
"What kind of clan belongs to?"
"It should be a certain Qiang tribe"
"good!"
Meng Lingcha is a Qiang people who have long been deeply sinicized. They came from Guanzhong and naturally migrated from Longyou. According to Yang Shouyu, they might have belonged to the same clan before?
Hu Meng Lingcha now has a very outstanding Qiang Tooth Soldier, which was selected from last year's Jump Camp. Unexpectedly, another one appeared this year, which seemed to be more outstanding than last year's one. Of course, Yang Shouyu only showed amazing skills in archery, and he had to compare swords and guns next, but the powerful archery is generally very powerful, and it will not be much worse in swords and guns.
"Do you remember the previous tribal surname?"
Fu Meng Lingcha was about to stand up when he suddenly thought of something and finally sat down.
At this time, Sun Xiurong, who was in the audience, also raised his ears.
The father and son of the Yang family have been close to his family since childhood, but his parents never mentioned the origin of them, including their family, but only said that they were from Youzhou. However, Sun Xiurong saw from Yang Chengen's appearance that he should have come from the Qiang tribe. Yang Shouyu's mother was a Sogdian Hu native, and he had long been unrecognizable.
"Reported to the garrison commander, my father should be from the Lifei tribe, but my mother is a Hu native from the Pamir Mountains, so..."
"Hahaha", Fu Meng Lingcha stood up, and he clapped his hands while laughing. At this time, a person standing behind him flashed out, and saw that the man was about in his early twenties, tall and strong. He came to Fu Meng Lingcha, and stood with his fists and bent down with his hands.
Fu Meng Lingcha pointed at him and said, "It's a coincidence that his name is Lifei Yuanli, and he also comes from Longyou, and from Dangxiang Qiang Lifei tribe. You two should be closer in the future."
As soon as these words were said, everyone was in amazement, which means that no matter what their next achievements were, Yang Shouyu would become the tooth soldier of the general Meng Lingcha!
But for Sun Xiurong, it was another shock!
Yang Shouyu, Li Fei Shouyu, no wonder, in history, the famous general who shot hundreds of An Lushan's rebels with a step bow was actually by his side without knowing it!
No wonder, if it weren't for the time travel of later generations, Sun Xiurong in this life would be far inferior to Yang Shouyu, and Yang Shouyu would have risen step by step through the selection of the jump camp.
Yang Shouyu quickly saluted Li Fei Yuanli, "I hope my elder brother will support you more."
Li Fei Yuanli was obviously annoyed at first. He originally had a bright future based on his skills and the support of his husband Meng Lingcha. Unexpectedly, another Dangxiang Manzi came!
But the fire in my heart gradually faded when I saw Yang Shouyu's appearance.
Like Meng Lingcha, Li Fei Yuanli had long been sinicized. In his eyes, the so-called Dangxiang Qiang was just a symbol. When he met the Dangxiang Qiang people, he would also sarcastically say "Dangxiang Barbarians". Of course, in the Tang Dynasty, the atmosphere was open and tolerant, and the barbarian origin would not be an obstacle to promotion. The so-called barbarians did not have obvious contempt, just like later generations scolding someone for being "dog" in rural areas.
A little sarcastic, but more of a joke.
Fumeng Lingcha said, "Although I am willing to include you in the oral army, since the ambassador of the military has transferred you to Hunu Town. According to our military rules, you must stay in Hunu Town for at least one year before you can come back. Are you willing?"
"I'm willing, I'm willing," Yang Shouyu quickly agreed.
...
The competition continued and the third day soon came.
This day is a competition for swords and guns. Of course, swords and guns are just a common saying. Among the young people, there are also many people with iron whips and horse lances in their families.
In the weapons competition, Sun Xiurong's advantages are reflected.
In later generations, as the commander of the cavalry, he learned heavy swordsmanship and compulsory spear stabbing skills. After traveling to the late Ming Dynasty, he studied with martial arts masters such as Ji Jike, and learned from some of Qi Jiguang's skills in swords and guns, plus the Jurchen techniques, and formed the extremely practical swordsmanship, marksmanship, and horses created by the Daxia Kingdom. These techniques were not obtained out of thin air, but were combined with skills from thousands of years ago.
For example, the Jurchens used swords and guns, which came from the techniques that had been passed down for thousands of years since the Bohai Kingdom. Qi Jiguang's techniques learned from Japan and North Korea, plus the techniques that had been used for thousands of years in Middle-earth. As for the techniques of later generations, the techniques of later generations mainly involve breathing, pace, and power, which naturally comes with scientific training methods in later generations.
These things are naturally very good when integrated into Sun Xiurong, but in the end he still ranked second.
Of course, he was the second in the infantry battle, which was to lose to the Hercules God Li Siye, who had a giant figure!
Li Siye has not used Mo Dao yet, but he has a heavy iron gun made of fine iron in his hand. The gun is at least thirty kilograms, but he seems to be only ten kilograms when he uses it. In addition, he has flexibility that is completely inconsistent with his figure, which makes Sun Xiurong's buzz warrior spear a little short of support.
One force will bring down ten times, what a sincere statement!
In the end, Sun Xiurong fully utilized his strengths in agility. In addition, he fought hard and fast attacked, which made Li Siye fall into a constant defense at the beginning, which made him persist for about fifty rounds. However, once Li Siye recovered, he could no longer hold on and finally had to admit defeat.
But he won the first place in the long sword competition.
The long sword is actually an enhanced version of the long sword. The sword is only the sword. It has been passed down from the ancient times to later generations and entered the Olympics. Sun Xiurong is the real master of this five-foot-long sword.
Step shooting third, ride shooting third, spear cavalry battle first, shop battle second, sword technique first.
After the martial arts competition, Sun Xiurong was the first in the comprehensive range!
The second place is better than the prince Tai Ranmian from Shiguo, or the Stee Ranmian. His weapon is a pair of exquisite and heavy Uz steel swords. He won the second place in the cavalry battle. The fire cloud patterns on the steel swords on the team were bright and Sun Xiurong's fire cloud swords for a moment, making both sides widen their eyes.
Yang Shouyu ranked sixth, but Li Siye only ranked eighth because he did not take the cavalry exam. His figure was too huge and he had no suitable horse for him to ride. Even if he had it, he couldn't hold on for long, so he simply gave up, but he still got eighth place in total.
Now, even the tall and handsome Gao Xianzhi couldn't sit still.
He took a fancy to Sun Xiurong.
Originally, he thought Li Siye was already amazing, but Sun Xiurong's comprehensive, calm and generous behavior made him stand out.
Chapter completed!
