Of course, if this is the case, the total number of these two cavalry corps will reach 6,500 men. Coupled with the expansion of the Fan Yong Army, the size of the Dai Army has also increased slightly, and the total number of troops is close to 170,000.

Everything was decided, and Gao Yuan suddenly said: "There are still more than twenty days before the New Year, because there will definitely be a big war next year, so I want to hold a large-scale military parade before the New Year, and draw some troops from each of the four regiments to gather in Daijun to organize some competitions and competitions, which can boost the morale of all armies; Second, it is also to let the various armies compete with each other and promote each other, do you see if it is feasible? ”

After listening to Gao Yuan's words, although everyone felt that it was a little sudden, they thought about it carefully, and they also felt that it was very reasonable. Because the area of Daijun is not large, and the galloping roads between the counties have also been repaired, even from the farthest Yunzhong County, it only takes four or five days to reach Daijun, so it is completely timely in time. Moreover, this kind of large-scale military parade activities exist in various countries, but they are generally concentrated in spring and autumn, and are carried out in the form of hunting.

It has been more than three years since the establishment of Daijun, and although it has achieved many victories in war, it has never held a similar military parade, and in addition, there will indeed be a big battle to be fought next year, so it is indeed good to hold a military parade before the New Year to boost the morale of the whole army. Although it costs some money to hold a military parade, the finances of Daijun are still relatively generous and completely affordable. Moreover, at this time, it is impossible for other countries to send troops to attack Daigun.

Therefore, after a brief discussion, the people finally decided. The three legions of Yanmen, Shanggu, and Yunzhong are all five armies, and a team of 500 people was selected from each army, two cavalry armies and three infantry armies, totaling 2,500 people, and rushed to Daijun to participate in the parade, while the Wu'an Legion had the establishment of 12 armies, but there were only nine regular armies, and only 5500 troops were drawn out of them, and the women's army, the scout army, and the Shenji army all sent a team of 500 people to participate, so that a total of 23 armies and more than 11,000 troops participated. It's not that big.

The parade items include team parade, formation changes, individual foot combat, cavalry battle, infantry shooting, cavalry shooting, infantry and cavalry respectively group battle to capture the flag, etc., a total of ten days. The top 10 in the individual competition and the top 3 in the collective competition will be rewarded with gold, weapons, flags and other items. And Li Yinghong also added one item, which is the Keju competition.

In fact, in this era, Keju was a very common activity in the army, not only for entertainment, but also as a way to train soldiers and inspect their physique. When Takahara first came to this era, Long often played Keju with his soldiers, because he applied the techniques and tactics of modern football to Kemari, so the Keju team he trained was almost invincible.

At that time, Li Yinghong was also very enthusiastic about Keju and enjoyed it, and under the teaching of Gao Yuan, Li Yinghong's Keju has also made great progress, and it can be said that a considerable part of the relationship between the two was established in kicking Keju together. And the soldiers who played Keju with Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong have always talked about it.

It's just that after entering the Daijun, the identities of the two are very different, so they rarely play Keju with the soldiers, and now that the plateau is preparing to hold a military parade, Li Yinghong immediately thought that Keju should also be included in one of the test items.

After hearing this, Gao Yuan also smiled and said, "It's okay to bring Keju in, but don't pull me off, you can't play." ”

Li Yinghong laughed and said: "Even if I don't play, as long as we have been trained by me, we will definitely be able to win the first place." ”

Among the ministers present, some people knew about the events of the year, and some people who didn't know had heard of it, only Zhang Liang and Wei Zeng were confused and didn't know what to do, but everyone had no objection to including Keju in one of the test items of the military parade.

After discussing and deciding, Gao Yuan immediately sent an order to all the legions, asking them to select troops within ten days and rush to Daijun to participate in the parade.

After the matter was dealt with, Gao Yuan and Li Ying returned to the back house for lunch, Yun Yao went to invite the Zhu Shi of the Bai Ling clan to come to the mansion for a banquet in the evening, so only Lin Wenqing and Geng Yanyu were in the mansion, and Luo Huan and Jiang Mingxia were also here, and the two were obviously waiting for Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong's reply.

Li Yinghong was a person who couldn't hide his words, so he immediately chattered and told the others about the military parade that was going to be held, and of course he also talked about how he fought with the plateau back then, which made the other armies frightened.

And Luo Huan and Jiang Mingxia were originally still children, and after listening to Li Yinghong's words, they were also very interested, Jiang Mingxia immediately said: "Aunt Li, I have also kicked Keju, can I participate?" ”

Li Yinghong smiled: "Of course you can, but I want to see how you play, if the skills are too bad, then it can't work, but I am determined to win this Keju competition." Go, come with me to the Women's Army. I'm going to select the organizers and train them. He turned to Gao Yuan and said, "I won't eat in the mansion, invite someone from the Bailing clan in the evening, and I will rush back." ”

Jiang Mingxia listened, didn't even bother to eat lunch, only said hello to Luo Huan, and then followed Li Yinghong away. And although Luo Huan opened his mouth, he didn't say anything.

Gao Yuan said: "Huan'er, after eating, let me see how your martial arts are doing." ”

Luo Huan was stunned for a moment, and immediately overjoyed, and said, "Okay." ”

After lunch, Geng Yanyu prepared the evening banquet, and Gao Yuan, Lin Wenqing, and Luo Huan came to the square of the mansion together, and the family had already prepared all kinds of weapons, bows and arrows, and horses in the square. And Luo Huan also changed into a tight-fitting arrow sleeve dress, and also put on a set of leather armor, which also looked heroic. came to the front of the plateau and said, "What does the father want to see the child practice first?" ”

Although Luo Huan is not yet an adult, he is no longer small, exceeding the shoulders of the plateau, only half a head is missing, and he is indeed a half-sized man.

Gao Yuan really felt that Luo Huan had grown up, and said, "Very good, let me see you shoot arrows first, right?" ”

Luo Huan nodded, and immediately instructed his family, set up the arrow target, and then picked up a horn bow, the bow used by the army is divided into two types: long bow and horn bow, the former is a single bow, the material is mainly wood, the length is usually between five or six feet, the pulling force is large, the range is long, it can generally reach about a hundred steps, but it is not easy to carry, and it is generally coordinated by specialized archers;

The horn bow is made of wood and animal horns and tendons, which belongs to the composite bow, the length is generally only more than three feet, easy to carry, but the pull force is small, it is divided into three kinds of seven, eight or nine buckets, the range is relatively close, between sixty and eighty steps, it is generally equipped with cavalry, chariots and a small number of elite soldiers, but the range of a few well-made horn bows can exceed the longbow. Usually it is equipped by generals.

Luo Huan picked up an eight-bucket horn bow, and the arrow stack was placed about fifty steps away, Luo Huan stood in front of the target, bent the bow and set up the arrow, opened the bow and shot out, and shot ten arrows in a row, a total of eight middle stacks, two of which hit the red heart of the arrow stack.

The family members are naturally very funny, every time Luo Huan hits, it will attract a burst of cheers, shoot the red heart, and even scream loudly, and if he doesn't shoot, it will cause them to sigh, so that the atmosphere is quite warm.

Gao Yuan also nodded and said with a smile: "Shoot well." "It's really good for a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child to be able to have such a level. In the army, although it is not excellent, it can be regarded as qualified.

After shooting the arrows, Luo Huan hung his bow and quiver on his body, then turned over on his horse, and the family put various obstacles in the square, including three railings of varying heights and two broken bridges that needed to be crossed.

Luo Huan shook the reins, urged the war horse, ran two laps in the square, let the war horse move, and then rode the horse into the obstacle course, in front of the first barrage, the reins were violently lifted, the front hooves of the war horse were raised, and he crossed the barrage, Luo Huan shook his body on the horse's back, but still sat on the horse's back, rushed to the second railing, and stepped over the other two railings in a row. Then he circled back the horse and repeated the leap.

Although the family kept cheering for Luo Huan, Lin Wenqing was nervous, and every time Luo Huan jumped over a railing, Lin Wenchun's body trembled obviously, as if he was afraid that his son would fall off the horse.

At the beginning, Gao Yuan was also a little worried, but after watching Luo Huan cross three railings in a row, Gao Yuan was also relieved, because he already knew Luo Huan's riding skills. Seeing Lin Wenqing's heart-wrenching look, Gao Yuan also patted her shoulder lightly and said, "Don't worry, Huan'er will be fine." ”

Lin Wenqing glanced at Gao Yuan gratefully, and only then did he feel a little relieved.

At this time, Luo Huan had already jumped three times in a row, and then rode his horse to turn to another runway, there were two broken bridges on this runway, which were actually two planks with slopes, placed at a distance apart, about one zhang and five feet, and Luo Huan also urged the war horse, galloping at full speed, after stepping on the plank, Luo Huan lifted the reins violently, the front hooves of the war horse lifted, and the hind hooves kicked the pedal, and jumped over. And without slowing down, he jumped over the second broken bridge.

After jumping over two broken bridges in a row, Luo Huan circled back the war horse in place and ran back again.

After running twice in a row, Luo Huan did not dismount, took off his bow and arrows on horseback, rode his horse and ran about twenty steps in front of the arrow stack, and then opened his bow and shot arrows. Luo Huan ran several times in a row and shot ten more arrows, and this time he hit a total of six arrows, but only one arrow hit the heart.
