After Zhao Ziliang's lecture, the final riding test of the general examination officially began.
All four hundred candidates were divided into twenty groups, with twenty people in each group, facing off in pairs.
Each group prepared five horses, two of which One group, a total of two groups, takes turns to be the candidate's mount for the duel, and the other horse is a backup.
War horses are all unfamiliar to the candidates, which is fair to every candidate.
Using unfamiliar war horses also tests the candidates' riding skills and familiarity with horses.
Some people can ride horses, but they can only control the horses they are familiar with.
Some people know the nature of horses very well.
Due to the large number of people in the previous exams, although the examination room was well managed by the referees and examiners, there were too many candidates and there were many separate examination rooms.
The audience was dazzled in the stands and generally only watched what they supported and were familiar with.
The situation of the candidates, plus the entire examination room is relatively large and the distance is a bit far, so it is difficult to see clearly, and this examination It's different.
There are only twenty examination rooms, and the number of candidates is only the original 5%.
The audience's attention is also focused, and the candidates who have passed all the way are the elite of the elite.
Those who are just pretending to be the best.
Basically, everyone has been eliminated, so the visibility of this competition has greatly increased, and the number of spectators has more than doubled than before.
Twenty arenas started at the same time, and every audience was paying attention to the arena where their friends were.
Before the candidates in the arena could do anything, the audience outside the arena was already shouting loudly, and the cheers spread in waves.
Come.
Bai Xiaode's opponent was an examinee named Guan Siping.
They drew lots and got into the first group of the third examination room, which was the first group duel in the third examination room.
The two of them stood at the door of the examination room and waited for the examiner in the examination room to call their names. , behind them were two teams of candidates, all of whom were going to participate in a pair-wise duel in the third examination room.
Each examination room is forty meters wide and forty meters long, with wooden stakes nailed around it.
Ropes as high as one person are stretched on the wooden stakes to surround each examination room.
There is only a certain distance between the examination rooms to facilitate passages. contacts.
"Okay, the first group of the third examination room, Bai Xiaode and Guan Siping entered the examination room to collect their horses and weapons and wait for the referee's call."
An examiner came over with the record list and shouted to Bai Xiaode and others.
Bai Xiaode and the strong man named Guan Siping walked side by side and walked into the examination room together to get their horses and weapons.
The examiner immediately closed the gate again.
The war horses are all top-notch maroon horses.
This kind of war horse is the Ili horse imported from Anxi.
Although it is not as good as the Arabian horse in size, it is still considered a first-class war horse in the Tang Dynasty.
It is tall and well-proportioned. , The head is small and smart, the eyes are big and bright, the head and neck are held high, and the limbs are strong.
There are two rows of weapon racks on one side of the examination room.
The weapon racks are filled with eighteen kinds of weapons and various exotic weapons for candidates to choose freely.
Bai Xiaode and Guan Siping went to choose weapons first.
Bai Xiaode chose a three-pointed two-edged sword.
This weapon was his usual weapon, although the three-pointed two-edged sword he chose was slightly lighter in weight. , but it is much easier than using other weapons, and Guan Siping chose a long gun.
After choosing their horses and weapons, the two rode to the middle of the examination room under the shouts and signals of the magistrate.
They were twenty meters apart.
The magistrate shouted: "You two, this place is just like the battlefield.
It is not a competition.
Therefore, there is no fighting etiquette in the ring.
Within the scope of the fighting rules, you can do anything you can, as long as you defeat your opponent.
Now, the test begins."
"ha" "drive" The two shouted loudly at the same time, and galloped towards each other.
They were twenty meters away, and within a few seconds they encountered each other.

Guan Siping stabbed Bai Xiaode in the chest with a spear in his hand, and Bai Xiaode was about to strike with a three-pointed two-edged knife.
He slashed Guan Siping's head, but the opponent was stabbing him straight.
The attack time of a straight thrust was much faster than that of a chop.
Bai Xiaode immediately changed his moves.
His wrist flipped midway, and the three-pointed two-edged knife hit Guan Siping's spear.
The spear missed the target.
Bai Xiaode flipped the three-pointed two-edged knife with his backhand, and the blade swept towards Guan Siping's neck.
Guan Siping's eyes widened and he quickly leaned back. , the blade of the blade grazed the tip of his nose, and he felt the tip of his nose was cold.
He almost had his nose cut off, which made him break into a cold sweat.
After a confrontation, the two men quickly reined in their horses, turned around, and charged at each other again.
This time, they were only about ten meters apart.
Neither side gained speed.
After another encounter, they directly fought each other.
This time, Bai Xiaode rushed to attack. three-point rod The two-edged sword slashed down diagonally.
Guan Siping was unable to make a straight thrust, so he could only hold up the gun pole with both hands to block.
Unexpectedly, Bai Xiaode was so brave and powerful.
The gun pole in Guan Siping's hand was immediately bent by the chop, but Bai Xiaode pressed down hard on the three-pointed two-edged sword.
The knife does not allow the barrel of the gun to rebound.
Guan Siping is a man of dexterity, but he is not as strong as Bai Xiaode.
Bai Xiaode is tall and tall, and his strength is already the best among the younger generation.
If it is just a competition of strength, not even Nan Jiyun is his opponent.
Guan Siping He couldn't withstand this overwhelming move.
His face turned red because he tried his best to withstand the heavy pressure of the three-pointed two-edged knife in Bai Xiaode's hand.
Guan Siping was not a stupid person.
He knew that he was weaker than Bai Xiaode in strength.
He immediately turned the spear slowly and saw the head of the spear slowly twisting towards Bai Xiaode.
He used the power of rotation to dissipate the pressure, and then suddenly used force to stab the spear.
Xiang Bai Xiaode.
Bai Xiaode could only turn sideways to avoid the gun head, but his pressure on Guan Siping also dissipated.
However, he had already seen Guan Siping's plan, so when he turned sideways and dissipated the pressure, he slapped the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand towards Guan Siping.
Off to Siping, Guan Siping didn't expect Bai Xiaode to make a move while dodging.
He accidentally hit him and fell off his horse.
If Bai Xiaode had used the blade instead of the back of the knife this time, Guan Siping would not have been knocked off his horse, but would have been split in two.
Half done.
The two sides only fought for a few times, and it ended with Guan Siping being defeated.
Bai Xiaode easily passed the test, and was truly on the list.
In the eighth examination room, Li Guangbi easily knocked away his opponent's sword with his long spear.
When one side lost its weapon, the referee immediately rode forward and shouted, asking both sides to stop, and declared Li Guangbi the winner.
The one who lost his weapon If one party fails, he or she will be disqualified.
However, if the person is successful in the written examination, he or she can become a low-level soldier or judge.
In the examination room No. 15, Nan Jiyun entered the stage with confidence.
It only took two rounds to defeat his opponent with his spear.
Seeing that the opponent was knocked down, he easily got on the list, attracting people who came to cheer him on.
His colleagues in the army cheered for him.
Guo Ziyi is in the examination room No. 12.

He knows his strengths and weaknesses.
His advantage lies in his strong explosive power and poor endurance.
After all, he is here at his age.
He is in his forties and has passed the peak of his physical strength.
However, It wasn't much different, but it was always incomparable to the young man.
He saw that his opponent was a little nervous, so he decided to fight quickly.
Guo Ziyi used the horse spear.
The horse spear was a heavy weapon.
It was not as dexterous as a spear, but its power was much stronger than a spear.
He used rapid fire from the beginning and suppressed his opponent with a flurry of attacks. opponent root There was no chance to breathe.
Being exhausted and panicked, there was always a time when Guo Ziyi's opponent made a mistake due to being too busy to resist.
Guo Ziyi put the gun head at his throat due to misjudgment.
Guo Ziyi's force value is not bad.
Although his physical strength is a little worse than before, he has rich combat experience and is skilled in riding combat.
In order to make himself on the list without any danger, and in order not to capsize in the gutter before entering the palace examination, He had to deal with it carefully and eliminate uncontrollable factors as much as possible.
In this battle, Guo Ziyi not only used all his force, but also used military tactics.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the riding combat test ended.
The 200 people who were eliminated lined up in a neat square formation on the right side under the management of the examiners, and the 200 people who successfully made the list also lined up in a square formation.
Stand on the left side of the main campus.
Zhao Ziliang walked up to the 200 failed candidates with a roster and said loudly: "You guys are the ones who failed in the examination, but some of you got very good results in the written examination, and you can go as high as 100 in the martial arts examination."
This step also shows that your martial arts skills are not very bad.
The imperial court is now recruiting people.
I have already informed His Majesty the Emperor that you will be given a chance to those who are on the written examination list.
I have an opportunity to be appointed as a reserve officer.
Although I cannot be a chief officer, I can assist the army chief.
If I can make a contribution in battle, I can be promoted based on merit.
Of course, it also includes the post of military chief.
Now I, the general, will start Roll call.
If those whose names are read are willing to stay and participate in the training of reserve officers, they can come out and stand in line next to me.
Now the roll call begins, Liu Zhihong."
The people whose names were read came out one by one and stood in a row.
However, some people did not want to be reserve officers.
They thought that being a reserve officer and acting as a deputy to the chief officer would not look good on face.
Some people thought that this was actually a failure, even if they were retained.
Those who are appointed below will definitely not be as good as those on the list in terms of treatment, so many Instead of standing up, they decided to go back and train hard for another three years.
These people are still young and they still have capital, but those who are older don’t dare to think about it.
Not only is the martial arts exam at a young age, People have a great advantage, and it cannot be compared with the civil examination.
The civil examination is a test of brains, and there is no big age limit.
After taking care of the people who failed the list, Zhao Ziliang took the list and came to the 200 people who were on the list, and said loudly: "What the general is holding now are the people who passed the written test.
Some of you did not pass the written test."
Pass, so you have no choice but to participate in the competition for the strong general list.
Now my general starts to read the names.
Those whose names are read stand behind, and those whose names are not read stay where they are.
