"Dada-da!"

The horses galloped away, and the knights on horseback rode their horses wildly, bending their bows and arrows, and shooting at the ten targets set up on the side of the road. The war horse galloped like a fly, and the four hooves rose and fell sharply; The arrows were as fast as meteors, and they shot out one by one.

After running to the end of the field, the horse made a circle of one hundred and eighty degrees, turned the corner, and galloped back at a high speed, and the knight on horseback fired his bow and arrows at the same time, and shot back again. I ran until I got to the starting point before stopping. The soldier guarding the starting point looked at a water leak next to him and shouted: "Ah Ran Shi begs, it is not timeout." ”

At this time, the soldiers guarding the arrow target also counted the feathered arrows on each arrow stack, and shouted: "Twenty-three arrows are hit, and two arrows are lost." ”

When Ah Ran Shi Qi jumped off his warhorse, there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers around him.

It is a horse road with a length of 150 paces, and the arrow target is set at about 20 to 25 paces on the left side of the road, and the distance, size, and height of each arrow target are different. At the starting point, there is a water leak for timing, and the knight pulls out the plug of the water leak when he sets off, and shoots an arrow in the process of running, but the horse must be completely drained in the water leak and ride the horse back to the starting point, which is considered a valid result. Therefore, this test is not only a test of archery, but also a test of the soldier's riding skills.

One hundred and fifty steps is about more than two hundred meters, under the full speed gallop of the war horse, it is about a minute to go back and forth, in this short one minute, it can shoot twenty-five arrows in a row, and twenty-three are lost two, which is indeed an amazing achievement.

However, in addition to Ah Ranshi's excellent archery skills, there is also an important reason for such a result, that is, he has changed into a new style of horse furniture, so his stability on horseback is much better than in the past, so that the hit rate has also been further improved.

Gao Yuan also nodded again and again in the stands, and said, "This guy's archery ability is really good?" In such a situation of galloping horses, it is possible to lose two of the twenty-three, even among the Huns, I am afraid that there will be no one. ”

Jiang Huanwu also nodded, and said: "This group of people is indeed very good, if they are trained well, they can do a lot, and it is indeed correct to decide to recruit them into the army in the first place." ”

Gao Yuan smiled: "But thanks to Brother Jiang's worry, I can suppress them, if I change someone else, I really don't feel at ease." ”

Although more than half of the plateau's energy is focused on the establishment of the Jinyi Guard, but the Fan Yong Army and the Scout Army have not relaxed, and they also attach great importance to the Fan Yong Army, because this army is composed of grassland nomads after all, and at this time, there has never been a thing. It was the reform of Hufu cavalry and archery that was promoted in Zhao State, and a large number of people from the Linhu and Lou Fu tribes were incorporated into the Zhao army, but there was no army composed of all grassland nomads like the plateau.

However, with Jiang Huanwu in charge of the Fan Yong Army, he can indeed suppress these grassland nomads. Although Jiang Huanwu's riding and archery ability is still a certain gap compared with them, but in terms of comprehensive ability, it is far above everyone, often one to ten, one to twenty, can easily win, so it also makes the Huns very convinced, Bijing grassland nomads are all respect for the strong, reverence for heroes.

In addition, since the establishment of formal soldiers, although they can not enjoy the same treatment as other soldiers, but it is indeed much better than being a coolie, living in a wide and clean barracks, eating food such as grains, although you can eat full, you can still have half a catty of meat to eat every other day, and every five or ten can also have a small bottle of wine to drink, this kind of life, that is, in the Xiongnu tribe has not been before. After all, in the Xiongnu tribe, only a few nobles can live a prosperous life, and the vast majority of ordinary Huns actually live between hunger and hunger.

Because agricultural production can not be carried out on the grassland, can only rely on grazing for a living, but an ordinary herdsman family, can not raise too many livestock, an ordinary Xiongnu family population of about ten people, generally can raise a dozen horses, dozens of sheep or a few cows, just enough to maintain the survival of the family, and although there is no shortage of natural pastures on the grassland, but the risk of grazing is also very large, climate, wolves, horse thieves are the biggest danger of grazing, such as a snowstorm, or a cold snap, It is also a common occurrence that all the cattle and sheep raised die overnight. Not to mention the fact that inter-tribal wars often break out.

After becoming a regular soldier of the Wu'an Army, at least there is no need to worry about survival, so the vast majority of the Huns are more at ease, trained according to training, and hope to be able to make meritorious contributions in battle, so that they can live a normal life one day earlier.

Because the officers at all levels of the Fan Yong Army were selected from within the Fan Yong Army, that is, they competed with each other in archery, horsemanship, cavalry and other abilities, and the total number of officers in the Fan Yong Army was about 7,500, and it was planned to be divided into 7,000 troops, with seven thousand cavalry commanders, 15 500 cavalry commanders, 75 hundred cavalry commanders, and 150 50 cavalry commanders. Although the officers and soldiers of the Fan Yong Army still do not enjoy the treatment of other soldiers, everyone also knows that being an officer is definitely better than being an ordinary soldier, so there is also a fierce competition for the positions of these more than 200 officers.

After more than a month of fierce competition, the 100 cavalry commanders, 50 cavalry commanders, even cavalry commanders, and Wu cavalry commanders have all determined the candidates, but in this more than a month of time, there are actually seven people who died due to various accidents, and four war horses were also hitched, as for the injured people and horses, there are as many as nearly 100 people, and it can also be seen that the fierce competition is due. If it weren't for the fact that there were three Bai Ling clansmen in addition to Yun Yao now, the injured people could be treated in a timely manner, and I am afraid that the number of people who died due to accidents would have doubled.

Now there are only seven thousand cavalry commanders and fifteen five hundred cavalry commanders, and the twenty-two military positions have not yet been finalized, and the remaining twenty-two people will compete for the position of seven thousand cavalry commanders, and those who fail in the competition will be appointed as five hundred cavalry commanders.

These twenty-two people are naturally the elite of this group of people, except for Ah Ran Shi Qimo and Hu Erban, the others are all Huns. Ah Ran Shi Qimo was shortlisted for his superb archery skills, but Tiger Grouper's strength is in riding, and after he has changed into a new style of horse furniture, he is even more powerful, and can make movements of various difficulties on horseback. Of course, the other Huns are not bad, after all, those who can get to this point are not weak.

Therefore, the final competition also aroused the interest of Gao Yuan, who came to watch it in person, and of course, it also attracted many other soldiers and officers of the Wu'an Army to watch.

The competition is divided into archery, horsemanship, and cavalry, and the ranking is determined by the comprehensive results of the three competitions. In the riding and archery competition, it is naturally Ah Ran Shi Qimo who takes the lead, among all twenty-two people, only he can hit more than twenty within the specified time, and several people have less than fifteen shots, but all of them are more than ten arrows, it seems that the nation on horseback is really worthy of its name. And the person who scores is retried until the winner is decided. And the Tiger class ranked sixth in this game.

Next, the equestrian competition was conducted, because the war horses of these twenty-two people were all special war horses selected by themselves, and after so many days of competition, the cooperation between the people and horses was already very familiar, so it was more intense. In addition to the normal competition, among the twenty-two people, fifteen people participated in the play-offs, three of them had a total of three play-offs before the final ranking was divided, this time the first was a Hun named Zuo Luga, and Huerban ranked second, and Ah Ran Shi Qimo only ranked thirteenth.

The third is a test horsemanship, in which twenty-two men compete in a single round-robin race, each armed with a spear, a saber, a round shield, a bow and ten arrows, either by shooting the opponent off his horse or shooting at the opponent's vital point.

And in this competition, the top three were all won by the Huns, in order of Pollock, Guido, and Corbine, and Ah Ran Shi Qimo won fourteen of the twenty-one games with his excellent archery skills, of which eleven games were won by archery, and finally got the fourth place, and Tiger Spotted ranked ninth in the cavalry competition, which is also a good ranking for the fruit of the three competitions, the Huns Pollock, the second place is the Hun Zuoluga, the second place is the Huns, and the next four are Kirbien and Guido, Tigergrouper, Milu. And these seven people also won the position of the commander of the thousand horsemen of the Fan Yong Army.

After watching all the competitions, Gao Yuan was also very satisfied, and immediately announced that seven thousand cavalry commanders and fifteen five hundred cavalry commanders could enjoy the same military salary treatment as ordinary Wu'an Army soldiers, and were given houses, and after the training was over, they could go back to the assigned houses to rest If there are family members, the family members can be exempted from the status of slaves and reunite with them; If there is no family, one of the Xiongnu daughters can be selected to form a family.

Because these twenty-two people will be the backbone of the Fan Yong Army for a long time to come, it is still necessary to give them some favorable conditions to further pull them in. Strengthen their loyalty to Daijun, and at the same time set an example for other soldiers, so that they have a hope in their hearts that as long as they train hard and work hard, they will be able to live a better life, and these twenty-two people are a good example.

After all the competitions were over, the entire Fan Yong Army was formed, and the next step was to train them in combat. And this unexpected reward also made the seven thousand cavalry commanders and fifteen five hundred cavalry commanders feel very surprised, because this has exceeded their psychological expectations, so in the subsequent training, they are also more serious and serious.
