Li Shimin thought for a moment and said, "Since a gentleman is a horse and seeks fame, are you and I as good as trying to be a king’s family?"
Li Chongjiu knows that Li Shimin still wants to ride and shoot himself after seeing his own arrow, which is obviously more confident than the bow horse.
"It’s a deal!"
Li Chongjiu Li Shimin laughed together.
After Li Shimin finished laughing, he pointed a wave of his hand to the side of the tree and said, "This is the target of the tree." Say Li Shimin’s legs are clamped with a war horse and he goes straight to the tree.
Note: An armored cavalry was popular in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but it gradually withdrew from the ranks in the Tang Dynasty. By the way, the most elite armored cavalry in the Sui army was Luo Yi’s five thousand youzhou fighters.
Chapter seventy-one Than an arrow
What Li Shimin pointed out is that the leaves of a crooked-necked tree have fallen for a long time, leaving dozens of slaps and leaves hanging the branches alone.
Li Shimin urged the light armor of the horse’s hip to rattle its hoof, set foot on the dust, and went obliquely to the crooked neck tree.
Li Shimin’s mouth yelling and controlling the horse almost died at a constant speed, neither fast nor slow. Looking at each other’s equestrian, Li Chongjiu knew that his riding was far less than Li Shimin’s.
At this time, the mountain loyalist shouted at Li Shimin with their guns, and Tang gaozu was obviously very confident in Li Shimin’s riding and shooting when he saw this. Li Shimin took out a carved bow from the saddle and handed it to his left hand and right hand to pull an arrow out of the quiver.
Crash!
When a bow rings, Li Chongjiu-yi knows that Li Shimin horse is also a strong bow with three stones.
The bow and horse are more accurate than the hardness of the bow. If the accuracy is guaranteed, Li Shimin can save so much effort by changing a soft bow, but he won’t take advantage of it. This is definitely confidence in his shooting.
Listening to the bowstring even breaking whistling arrow’s feather is not uncommon. It is dozens of paces away from Li Shimin. Every arrow that passes through the crooked neck tree will fall an arrow.
The leaves fell one after another, but the trunk did not move.
It’s like shooting a gun in the head when you’re playing s!
What an arrow! The officers and men on the hillside are all thundering and screaming.
It is not the most difficult thing in riding and shooting, but the most difficult thing is to drive the horse near the tree and shoot all the arrows at a target in one breath for a short time.
In that short time, Li Shimin almost didn’t aim at it, and he always raised his hand and shot it.
On the side of Li Yuan, Zhou County magistrate couldn’t help praising, "Erlangjun’s riding and shooting skills are really a thousand miles away. It’s comparable to Ji Sheng, the eldest grandson of the vertical and horizontal Turks!"
The eldest grandson Ji Sheng is the eldest grandson Sheng Li Shimin’s real father-in-law, killing two birds with one stone.
Tang gaozu listened to Zhou magistrate’s praise and showed his father’s pride. "Young people must not boast or they will be arrogant, but it is children’s ambition to be Turkish."
At this time, Li Shimin rode back and raised his longbow in one hand to accept the cheers of all the troops, suddenly like a victorious general
Seeing this, Li Chongjiu smiled and walked to the front of Li Shimin’s horse to see Li Shimin jumping to the horse and said with a smile, "Li Xiong gave way to shoot first."
Li Chongjiu said, "A good archery is just ten arrows and ten hits!"
Li Shimin nodded and said generously, "Li Xiong remembers well. If Li Xiong can also hit ten arrows, even if Li Xiong wins the competition."
Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Good talk, good talk"
When Li Shimin hand over that reins of his mount to Li Chongjiu.
Li Chong-jiu saw that this horse was quite a divine horse, and it was definitely a precious thing to put it in the horse market. I don’t know if it was the sixth horse in Zhaoling in the future. When Li Chong-jiu said, "The second male is a good horse, and all the horses he rides are bad horses. Can you let him ride for a while?"
"That’s the way it should be." Li Shimin generously said that he should take a step back
Li Chong-jiu tried his horse for a gallop.
Therefore, Li Shimin, Li Chongjiu and the other two equestrians are high and low, and all the officers and men are all soldiers, so it is not only important to shoot accurately on horseback, but also to ride steadily.
Holding a helmet, Sun Shunde said with a smile, "If you shoot this little thief, I’m afraid there’s still some chance of winning. If you shoot, shoot and flatter, you’ll be a good husband."
Li Chongjiu’s back-and-forth test of the horse has made the officers and men beside impatient, but Li Shimin didn’t feel unhappy at all and didn’t urge him.
Self-confidence is a kind of confidence.
Li Chongjiu stopped the horse, apparently after the horse test, and all the loyalists were paying attention.
Li Chongjiu urged the mount to cross the right side of the tree and stay close to a certain distance. Li Chongjiu held a bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right hand, pointing at the tree.
Nonsense!
The bowstring shook everyone, and the leaves fell in the blink of an eye.
The second arrow hits again, and the third arrow hits again.
Fourth arrow!
Fifth arrow!
Sun Shunde watched Li Chongjiu’s riding and shooting, but he smiled with a wave of his whip and said, "The little thief lost!"
All the officers and men also saw clearly that Li Chongjiu’s archery was picky, but his riding was not as good as that of Li Shimin’s steeds, which obviously affected his archery speed.
The horse’s head grazed the tree and just then Li Shimin had shot ten arrows, but Li Chongjiu shot five.
Seeing that the horse is riding farther and farther away from the tree, Sun Shunde laughed at this and said, "Even if Yang Youji is resurrected, it is impossible to shoot ten arrows against five arrows from such a distance. Even if it is turned back to the original place and shot the second time, it is also lost."
Tang gaozu saw that the outcome had been decided, and slowly shook his head and ordered his hand to say, "This man wants to abandon his hand on a horse and flee. You can’t let this man escape."
Tang gaozu crashing promised a dozen Xuanjia cavalry horse at the same time.
Just as Tang gaozu had commanded, he suddenly heard Li Chongjiu’s steed scream for a long time, and his front hoof suddenly stood up.
See Li Chongjiu with a rein to stop the mount and brazenly dial the horse’s head back to his legs with a clip of horse ribs just visible.
Drink!
