Originally, Ma Xiu thought that after the introduction, he would be welcomed by everyone, but he didn't expect that the truth was not what he imagined, especially the strong man who asked the two just now laughed and said: "It is rumored that the cavalry of the Xiliang Ma family is unstoppable, but unfortunately it was still defeated by the Han thief Cao Cao."
A general of the defeated army can then be the leader of our Qingzhou cavalry, and if this continues, if there is a war with the Cao army one day, we will not be defeated again. ”"That's it, that's it, if you want me to say, the bravery of this Xiliang cavalry is just a rumor, maybe it really doesn't have any excellent skills, maybe it's not as good as me.""
If you want to talk about the Xiliang Ma family, I have only heard of one Jinma Chao, although the three armies of the brave champion back then killed Cao Cao once cut his beard and abandoned his robe.But in the end, the whole army was destroyed, and as for the prestige of the two, we have never heard of them. ”Just when everyone was talking, suddenly a person stood up and stopped everyone: "After the two claimed to be the Xiliang Horse family, it is said that the riding skills of the Xiliang Horse family are very good, if the two generals want to lead our Qingzhou cavalry battalion, they must come up with some skills that I admire."
Otherwise, I think the brothers will definitely not be able to convince the people, I don't know what skills the two generals can take out and put them to use" Ma Tie immediately said: "The cavalry is nothing more than battlefield horsemanship, bow shooting, and horse fighting, what you want to challenge, my two brothers can respond, let you choose." ”The man couldn't help but sneer: "Oh, although it seems to be confident, but the tone is quite small, I hope I won't be disappointed for a while." ”Matthew couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems useless to say anything now, it's better to see the truth under your hands." ”"Okay, then let me wait and take a good look at what you two brothers are capable of."
After speaking, the strong man waved at the cavalry around him and said: "Brother vacate the field, let us see how the two Xiliang generals are brave" It was just an instant, all the cavalry were lined up on both sides, and they were connected side by side, and the formation was not chaotic, so it can be seen that these cavalrymen still have a certain ability.The field in the middle of the cavalry camp vacated a huge place, and Ma Xiu and Ma Tie rode their war horses forward a few steps and said: "If anyone is willing to challenge horsemanship, archery and horse warfare, we will take them all." ”"Hmph, let me try my riding skills with you."
As he spoke, he saw a slightly thin figure, but with a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, riding a yellow-maned horse and walking out.The height of the war horse is higher than that of ordinary horses, and its limbs are also more vigorous than ordinary war horses, coupled with its thin body, relatively light physical strength, and the weight of the war horse itself is also slightly lighter.No matter what the factors are, this is extremely beneficial to the speed of the war horse, no wonder this person can dare to stand up and call the battle, it is relying on these favorable factors.This cannot be said to be despicable in warfare, but can only be said to be clever, attacking its weaknesses with its own strengths.Seeing that the other party had a strong fighting spirit, Ma Tie couldn't help but be interested, and stepped forward and said: "Okay, let me try it with you" "Third brother, wait a minute, although this person has some ability, but it is much worse than your riding skills, this one will be handed over to Brother Wei, Brother Wei hasn't shown his riding skills for a long time." ”Seeing that Ma Tie was about to step forward, Ma Xiu couldn't help but take the first step to block the way.Seeing this, Ma Tie couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, since the second brother wants to show his riding skills, then Ma Tie is waiting, but with the second brother Lao making a move, the brother is somewhat ashamed." ”Facing Ma Tie's self-blame, Ma Xiu smiled lightly and patted his shoulder, then stepped forward and said to the sergeant who was challenging him: "I don't know how you want to challenge him" The sergeant said: "Since we are competing in horsemanship, of course we see who is faster."
You see that this cavalry camp is surrounded by wooden walls, we will take this cavalry camp as the main place, if anyone can run around the whole military camp first and come back here, he will be considered a winner" Ma Xiu immediately said: "Since you have no opinion, then I have no objection, all the sergeants here are witnesses, I will run a circle with you." ”After saying that, the two rode their horses side by side and waited for a whistle to blow, and the challenging sergeant raised his horsewhip, and the war horse under his crotch struck out like a sharp sword.On the other hand, Ma Xiu rode his horse and stood in place, and after the other party ran for more than 20 meters, he gently touched the horse's head, and the whole person rushed out like a flying arrow from the string between his legs and the belly of the horse, chasing the cavalry who was running for dozens of meters.If Ma Xiu's riding skills are good, the cavalry is not bad, although he was gradually drawn closer by Ma Xiu, but he has always maintained the leading rhythm, but it is only a matter of time before he catches up, even so he is still galloping fast, and the whip in his hand can't stop waving.Just when the cavalry thought that he had won the victory, he saw a black shadow gradually approaching, but it was the Mathieu who chased after him.However, to the horseman's surprise, the general who was competing with him did not straddle the war horse, but stood on the horse's back with his hands and feet folded.With the bumps of the war horse, this person stood on the horse's back without a trace of nervousness, but had a sense of enjoyment and play, if it were not for superb riding skills, he would never dare to do so.It's just this trick that can distinguish the superior of horsemanship, but now the game is not over, even if the cavalry can't win the opponent in high difficulty, but still wants to fight hard and win the opponent in speed.But no matter how the cavalry wielded the horsewhip, the other party gradually distanced himself from him, leaving himself behind, and just as the cavalry looked at the back of Matthew and was annoyed, he suddenly saw that the whole person disappeared from the horse.The horses that had been following each other had not been seen until they reached their destination, and at the end of the race, the horse suddenly burst out from under the horse's belly, and rolled over and rode on the horse's back.For this reason, everyone around was surprised, especially the cavalryman who was competing with him, and he slapped his horse and bowed his hand to Ma Xiu, and his heart was full of admiration: "The general's riding skills are so exquisite, the little one admires it, and I hope that the general will be able to teach him in the future." ”"Haha, my riding skills can only be ranked last in my horse's family, and I think my third brother Ma Tie and eldest brother Ma Chao's riding skills are several times better than mine."
After speaking, Ma Xiu ignored the surprise of the congregation soldiers and laughed at Ma Tie on the side."
Okay, the second brother has already tried his riding skills, and the horseback bow shooting and horse fighting skills will be handled by Ma Tie."
After Ma Tie finished speaking, he looked at everyone excitedly: "Who wants to test my shooting skills?"
"I'll come." ”As he spoke, he saw the strong man who had been talking to the two of them at the beginning rode out on horseback, and said to Ma Tie is arch: "Little Hongdu, naturally my riding skills are not as good as the general, but my bow and archery skills are among the best in the entire cavalry battalion, and I hope to be qualified to fight with the general, but I don't know if the general wants to be compared." ”Ma Tie couldn't help but nod his head and praised: "Okay, it's a man."
I don't know how you practice archery on weekdays" Na Hongdu said without hesitation: "On weekdays, the brothers practice bow shooting is nothing more than a fixed target or a horse flying shooting, I don't know which one the general wants to try" "Okay, I will win or lose with you." ”After Ma Tie finished speaking, he took out the bow and arrow on his back, but put down all the quivers, took out an arrow feather and handed it to the other party: "I will stand at a distance of eighty meters, let you shoot, rest assured and shoot boldly, if you can shoot this general, this general will not only forgive you for your innocence, but also the fine bow in my hand is also yours." ”That is to say, Ma Tie did not tolerate any difference with Nahongdu, stuffed the arrow feather into his hand, rode the horse straight forward, ran about eighty meters or so, turned the horse's head and stood in place, waiting for the opponent to open his bow and shoot.But even if Ma Tie let it go, this Hong didn't dare to shoot at the other party, the slightest carelessness might hurt the other party, and the other party was still a newly appointed general, in case something went wrong, it was definitely not something he could bear.Seeing that Na Hong didn't dare to make a move, Matthew, who was standing aside, opened his mouth to comfort him and said: "You just have to shoot with confidence, if you hurt my brother, I will guarantee your innocence, not only will I give you the bow in his hand, but I will also make you Dubo." ”"What the general said is true," Hong couldn't help but ask weakly, for a cavalryman, a good war horse, a good long soldier, a good bow, and a chance to advance are extremely important to himself."
There are so many soldiers here to testify this time, how can this general lie and say, you just have to make a bold move, if you are ruthless, I am afraid that you will lose in a while."
Matthew couldn't help but encourage again."
Okay, then I don't have any worries anymore, and let's see how I win this honor."
That is, Na Hongdu suddenly put on the arrow feathers, raised the longbow in his hand with both hands, and aimed straight at the horse iron not far away, and pulled the full string.I saw that the fingers of Hong Du's right hand at the end of the arrow feather suddenly opened, and the tight bowstring pushed the arrow feather towards Ma Tie quickly, but Ma Tie still sat on the horse's back without a trace of movement, as if he intended to let the other party shoot at him.Seeing this scene, Na Hong was surprised and delighted, and he was naturally happy that he was completely sure that his arrow would hit the other party.And the surprise is that he is worried about why the other party does not hide, although he is arrogant in his heart, he has no intention of hurting the other party.Seeing that the bow was about to hit Ma Tie, and more onlookers couldn't help but let out a trace of exclamation, but saw that Ma Tie moved.Although Ma Tie moved, the whole person was still standing on the horse's back, and only his right hand was moving.I saw that when the flying arrow shot by Na Hongdu was about to shoot at Ma Tie's waist, Ma Tie's right hand suddenly stretched out, and he actually grabbed the flying arrow in his hand out of thin air.The flying arrow obediently fell into his hands like this, and then he saw Ma Tie quickly open his bow and shoot an arrow at Na Hongdu, from capturing the arrow to opening the bow to shoot, the arrow can be said to be in one go
