“Bang—” A cannon sounded on the Xuanwumen Campus, shaking the sky!
Pre-fight, prepare!
"Hoo, ho, ho!"
Three thousand armors let out three loud roars in unison, and three thousand long spears fired in the air, making a sharp whistling sound.
Although it was a spear without a spearhead, for the children of the official clan who had never experienced such a big scene, this formation was terrifying enough.
Qin Mubai couldn't help but secretly take a breath: Even if these armored soldiers are not alive, they are piles of mud and stone walls. It is very difficult to rush through them in one go, not to mention there are dozens of them. A competitor who may shoot behind his back at any time.
Gotta find a way!
"Brother Qin, what should we do?" Cheng Huaibi asked in a low voice, "We two brothers are weak alone. It is really difficult to break through these 3,000 armored formations. There are also infantry and cavalry. They are probably all emperors." The selected veterans who have been on the battlefield are countless times better than us in actual combat. Although their guns cannot kill us, the spitting of so many people is enough for us if they are killed. It's possible to dismount a horse and be trampled to death."
Qin Mubai didn't answer and glanced around. The other children of the official clan were also discussing and whispering, many of them had a look of fear and uneasiness on their faces, and some even turned pale.
On weekdays, these people would at most practice martial arts behind closed doors with the martial arts masters. Occasionally, some battles would take place in an absolutely safe environment. The three thousand armored warriors in front of them are all well-trained soldiers. If we really fight, it will definitely be completely different from normal training. Not to mention whether they have a chance of winning against the siege of three thousand armored men, many people are not sure that they can win even if it is one-on-one.
Under the cover of Huang Luo's umbrella, Li Shimin laughed loudly and said to a guard general beside him: "Jun Xian, are you confident that you can single-handedly rush through these three thousand armored formations?"
Li Junxian looked embarrassed, and bowed his hands honestly: "Your Majesty, I dare not lie... These three thousand armors are the battle-hardened soldiers of the Royal Forest Army personally selected by Your Majesty. Everyone has been on the battlefield. With actual combat experience, Wei Chen estimates that only three people in the world would dare to try."
"Which three?"
"Qin Shubao, Duke of Yi State, Chi Jingde, Duke of E State, and Cheng Zhijie, Duke of Lu State." Li Junxian said, "However, the current regulations prohibit the use of lethal weapons. Even if these three fierce generals charge into the battle, they will not be able to scare the enemy with instant kills." The army can easily open up a bloody path, so it will be more difficult. "
"Yes." Li Shimin nodded meaningfully and smiled.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly..."
"Speak directly if you have anything to say."
"Yes." Li Junxian bowed his hands and said, "Few of these officials' disciples have actually been on the battlefield. No matter how strong their personal martial arts are, they are definitely not as good as those of Qin, Cheng, and Yuchi. But His Majesty wants them to be on the third level. Obtaining the dragon flag from the core of Qian Tiejia, this... may not be too difficult."
"Haha, this is the effect I want." Li Shimin said, "On the surface, this is unlikely. Even if the three fierce generals Qin, Cheng, and Yuchi join forces, they want to use spears without spearheads to rush in and seize the dragon. The flag is also very difficult. But the most powerful weapon in the world is not the iron gun head, but wisdom. What I want is a hundred knights who are both civil and military, able to adapt to changes and adapt to the enemy. If you are brave enough to be selected, then the Hundred Horsemen next to me is too worthless."
"I see... But Wei Chen couldn't think of any other tricks to rush in and seize the dragon flag. Is it possible that someone else can fly?" Li Junxian looked confused.
"Let's see, you'll know after you see it." Li Shimin smiled slightly, enigmatically.
"Wu-wu-"
The golden horn roar echoed through the sky again, and the participating athletes trembled uniformly, making them even more nervous.
After this second order, it would take just one more time to wait for a stick of incense to start charging into the formation. Everyone was thinking hard and discussing intensely. Many people were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and some even wanted to abstain out of desperation.
"Brother Qin, have you figured out a way? There is only one stick of incense left!" Cheng Huaibi asked anxiously.
Qin Mubai frowned slightly, raised his eyes with his hands and looked at the three thousand armored formation, and said: "These three thousand armored soldiers surround the dragon flag at the core, as tight as an iron barrel. If we rush over like this, it will be like hitting a stone with an egg. However, , their guns also have no tips, so they can’t kill anyone, so they can’t withstand a really powerful impact... Yes!”
"any solution?"
"Follow me, time is running out!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qin Mubai and Cheng Huaibi clapped away, quickly came to the ordnance department, found the officials in charge of the ordnance, and asked them for ten horses. According to the rules, in addition to sharp weapons for killing people, other tools and horses can be provided. Qin Mubai asked for ten strings of firecrackers again - there really is such a thing!
Qin Mubai was overjoyed and thought to himself: Could it be that the emperor had already prepared such a prop and was just waiting for us to discover it? Li Shimin, this guy is so amazing! If I hadn't seen a similar scene on TV in "Sanmao Joins the Army", I might not have been able to remember it right away!
The two men returned to the field with ten horses, causing a commotion of surprise, and everyone looked at them in confusion. Some attentive people discovered the firecrackers tied to the tails of these horses, and they all exclaimed and suddenly realized.
Li Shimin, who was under Huang Luo's umbrella, couldn't help but stand up and look towards Qin Mubai.
"Your Majesty, what are those two boys doing?" Li Junxian asked in confusion.
"Haha! That should be Qin Shubao's third son, Qin Mubai, right? This boy is really clever and he did not disappoint me!" Li Shimin laughed loudly and was in a happy mood.
“Bang bang bang—”
A military drum sounded on the campus, causing the ground to tremble - the charge began!
The roar of three thousand armors was like thunder, and the armor reflected the sunlight, glowing with murderous intent!
Qin Mubai and Cheng Huaibi quickly lit ten strings of firecrackers. There was a loud crackle and fire, and it was so lively. The ten horses were frightened and rushed towards the armored formation in front like crazy!
"Ah-" The whole room was shocked and shouted loudly.
"What a brilliant idea!"
The soldiers standing at the front of the armored formation turned green in the face, and they all yelled: "Assholes!"
"Which wicked guy came up with this bad idea! Fuck it!"
The angry horses galloped, rolling up countless dust and smoke, and rushed straight towards the armored formation. These battle-hardened generals who have been on the battlefield are not afraid of fighting head-on with the enemy, but no one dares to confront the mad angry horse!
Although their armor was strong, it could never withstand the collision of such an angry horse. Although they had guns in their hands, they had no heads and could not kill the horses!
"Brothers, dodge quickly!"
The officer in the armored formation gave the order. In an instant, a gap quickly appeared in the circular military formation that was like an iron barrel. The frightened horse rushed in crazily, like a sharp blade cutting a huge gap in a piece of cake!
Qin Mubai was overjoyed, raised his sword eyebrows and shouted in a deep voice: "Charge!"
Cheng Huaibi felt as if he was enlightened and shouted: "Go ahead!"
The two of them were like arrows leaving the string, galloping towards the formation following the group of crazy horses.
The other athletes came to their senses one after another and rushed forward with loud roars.
"Wonderful, wonderful!" Li Junxian laughed heartily, "Your Majesty, this boy is so smart! He actually thought of using strong horses as arrows to help him charge into battle! The battle formation composed of three thousand iron armors is like a copper wall. It’s extremely difficult to break through, but there’s nothing they can do against such a group of crazy horses!”
"A general who knows how to borrow and use things and use strategies flexibly is a good general." Li Shimin nodded and smiled, "Some people have learned some military techniques left by the ancients, and they think that they are invincible in the battlefield with their own strategies. You don't know. The best way to defeat the enemy is to adapt to local conditions and adapt to the situation. That cannot be learned in books - I admire this Qin Mubai! "
"Kill -" In the battle formation, Qin Mubai roared with murderous intent, and galloped behind the smoke and dust raised by a group of crazy horses. The armored guards were afraid of the power of Crazy Horse. How could anyone not dodge? So in fact, Qin Mubai almost rushed into the core without encountering any obstacles along the way and reached the dragon flag pole.
Cheng Huaibi laughed loudly: "Brother Qin, you are so smart. I admire you so much!"
Before he could stop laughing, a white rainbow suddenly flashed beside him, and then he heard a sneer: "You are smart enough, but unfortunately, the dragon flag is mine!"
"Chang Sun Huan!" Qin Mubai's heart froze as he saw a white-robed knight riding a horse past him, like a flash of light and clear smoke.
"Asshole, this guy's horse is so fast! This is going to be a huge advantage for him!" Cheng Huaibi yelled angrily.
"Quick!" Seeing that Changsun Huan was about to rush to the dragon flag, Qin Mubai swung his gun and slapped the horse's butt hard. The horse was hurt, and it screamed miserably and ran wildly, but it still couldn't catch up with Changsun Huan's white horse.
"Damn it, I'm going to make a wedding dress for someone. Why is this guy's horse so fast?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
Changsun Huan took the lead and rushed to the dragon flag. He picked up the golden eagle bow placed here from the weapon rack under the flag pole. He laughed loudly and wanted to pick up the bow and arrow to shoot down the dragon flag.
"Hu-" A quick shadow flashed, and the long bow in Changsun Huan's hand disappeared!
Qin Mubai rode past him like the wind, and snatched the eagle bow over with lightning speed.
"How dare you! How dare you snatch the carved bow from my hand!" Changsun Huan's handsome white face turned red with anger. He shook the spear in his hand and pointed at Qin Mubai angrily, shouting, "Give it back to me!"
"Hmph!" Qin Mubai sneered, turning the precious eagle bow in his hand for half an arc before picking up the bow and shooting.
"How outrageous!" Changsun Huan was furious. He pulled the reins and galloped towards Qin Mubai.
"Crazy!" Qin Mubai frowned, held a bow in one hand and a spear in the other, and deflected Chang Sun Huan's spear with a 'click' sound.
Changsun Huan missed a blow and galloped past, with a look of horror on his face, and thought to himself: This guy's marksmanship is so good!
"Master Changsun, I'm here to help you!" With a thunderous roar, the black-faced man Yuchi Baoyun rushed in on a big black horse. Following closely behind him were five or six riders, all roaring and charging towards Qin Mubai.
"Come on!" Qin Mubai shouted deeply, pressed the carved bow on the saddle, shook the spear in his hand, and prepared to fight without retreating.
"Third brother, I'm here to help you!" Cheng Huaibi's horse was slow and he hurried in to fight side by side with Qin Mubai.
Changsun Huan's seven or eight cavalry surrounded the two men, and a fight was about to begin.
The three thousand armored formation was knocked down by a group of crazy horses, and many of them screamed. It was with great difficulty that the fierce horses were subdued and settled down. Most athletes have already rushed to the core, so their iron barrel formation has lost its meaning. So the formation turned into a circle, and dozens of athletes gathered in the field, and everyone came together to watch this ultimate show of competition between you and me.
Li Shimin under the umbrella of Huang Luo laughed and said: "Okay. A general must have a heart to win. It seems that Qin Mubai won the first round of wisdom test. I want to see his martial arts. To what extent can I fight against the heroes and keep the bow in my hand!"
"Your Majesty, is this difficult?" Li Junxian said, "He and Cheng Huaibi are only two people, but the enemies are everyone else. Changsun Huan and his group are obviously more powerful and outnumbered!"
"I have said before, this Hundred Rider must be brave and resourceful. Wisdom alone is not enough, you must also have the strength to fight against the heroes without losing." Li Shimin smiled meaningfully, "Both of them are indispensable! "
"Go up -" Changsun Huan shouted sharply in the field, and the six or seven cavalrymen headed by Yuchi Baoyun beside him fired their guns at Qin Mubai.
Qin Mubai sneered.
Although these people all have some skills, Yuchi Baoyun's martial arts is even more impressive. Six or seven people attacked and killed him, and the momentum was indeed extraordinary.
But among them, most of them are just showing off. Compared with Qin Shubao and Cheng Zhijie, the fierce generals in the world, they are really far behind!
In fact, comparing these noble men to Qin and Cheng is simply an insult to Qin Shubao and Cheng Zhijie. When it comes to one-on-one, they are probably no match for Yuwen Hongtai and Yin Yang!
Qin Mubai's martial arts skills were honed by those two extremely powerful peak warriors in actual combat competitions. When he was in Prince Wu's Mansion, one-to-many challenges were commonplace. Facing such an opponent again, it felt a bit like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer!
"Third brother, be careful, the opponent's martial arts skills are extraordinary and the number of people is overwhelming!" Cheng Huaibi exclaimed just now, only to feel a blur in front of his eyes. Qin Mubai did not retreat but advanced, riding his horse to kill.
"Lost the horse -" Qin Mubai roared like a thunderbolt in the sky, and Yuchi Baoyun and others were shocked - "murderous"!
"Ah -" followed by three neat screams, the three athletes fell off the horse!
In one move, Qin Mubai used his 'Tai Chi Qin Family Spear' to knock down three people!
Yuchi Baoyun reined in his horse in panic and stared at Qin Mubai with wide eyes: "You... what's your name?"
"Qin Mubai!"
"Are you Qin Qiong's son?"
"Shut up! How can you call my father's name?!" Qin Mubai lowered his eyebrows and his eyes burst into flames. He shouted fiercely, drew his gun and stabbed Yuchi Baoyun!
Qin Mubai's anger was justified. However, juniors should never call their elders by their first names, otherwise it would be disrespectful. What's more, for people like "Qin Qiong", even the emperor always calls him Shubao!
