Rebirth and Conferred God: Against Heaven and Become Holy

Chapter 21 Disaster on Xiao Qiang
Seeing the bald princes making things difficult again and again, Yuan Futong couldn't help feeling displeased, but he couldn't refute it at all.

This bald prince is Marquis Wu Yong, who is the lord of the 72 princes.

Moreover, this Wu Yonghou is extremely prestigious among the 72 princes, and he has a large group of vassals around him.

Therefore, as long as this Marquis Wu Yong refuses to accept Su Yuan, it is impossible for all the princes of the 72nd Route to submit.

Seeing Wu Yonghou's challenge, Su Yuan said lightly: "Okay, I accept your challenge."

With [-] cloaked soldiers behind him, it can be said that one is against a hundred, and with a master like Zheng Lun, Su Yuan is certainly not afraid of any challenge.

Wu Yonghou said: "Since there is a competition, let's gamble. If you win, I will support you as the leader with both hands, but if you lose, all the cloaked troops behind you will belong to me. subordinate."

Su Yuan snorted coldly in his heart and said, "Okay, then I will compare with you."

Wu Yonghou smiled coldly and said: "Okay, since you want to be the leader, you must have extraordinary bravery, so I want to challenge you personally."

Hearing Wu Yonghou's words, Su Yuan couldn't help but startled.

Although Su Yuan is not afraid of challenges, Su Quanzhong's body is really too bad. He has been exhausted from training [-] cloaked soldiers for more than ten days. If he wants to accept the challenge, he doesn't know if he can do it.

At this time, the person hiding in the dark sneered: "Su Quanzhong, Su Quanzhong, I see how your body, which has been hollowed out by wine and meat, can fight against the unstoppable Wu Yonghou?"

However, how could Su Yuan admit defeat now, and immediately said: "Okay, I don't know what you want to compare with me?"

Wu Yonghou smiled slightly and said, "It's very simple, I want to race horses with you."

Hearing this, Zheng Lun, who was standing behind Su Yuan, couldn't help but change his face.

Because in the past ten days, Zheng Lun already knew whether Su Yuan could ride a horse at all. Every time after training, when everyone returned on horseback, Su Yuan always returned on foot.

The only time Su Yuan rode on a horse ended up falling off the horse.

And Wu Yonghou wants to compete with Su Yuan on horseback, he must be a master on horseback.

However, even if Wu Yonghou's horsemanship is average, Su Yuan, a rookie, will never win.

Hearing that what Wu Yonghou was going to compete with happened to be his own weakness, Su Yuan couldn't help squinting his eyes, and immediately understood that there must be an inner ghost.

But up to now, Su Yuan couldn't help but to agree, and immediately laughed: "Okay, then it's better than riding a horse, but I have to prepare, we will meet here in three days."

Marquis Wu Yong already had a plan in mind, he laughed and said, "Okay, see you in three days."

……

In the barracks.

Su Yuan, Zheng Lun, Black Cow and others gathered together, all of them were full of sorrows, and they sighed one by one.

Although Su Yuan fought for three days, riding a horse all depends on practice, without a few months, it is impossible to practice proficiently.

With Su Yuan's level of horse riding, it is impossible for him to be able to ride a horse in three days, let alone compare to Wu Yonghou who fought on horseback.

Seeing everyone's disappointment, Su Yuan smiled and said: "If you don't accumulate steps, how can you travel thousands of miles. Even if it is difficult to learn to ride a horse, you still need to connect bit by bit. Since there are still three days left, let's not waste time." .”

Although he listened to Su Yuan's reasoning, everyone sighed, Zheng Lun said, "Well, although knowing that we can't succeed, we still try it."

After all, the three got up, walked out of the room, and came to the backyard of the barracks.

The backyard is relatively spacious, and a bay red horse has already been led and waited there.

Before coming to the horse, Zheng Lun said in detail: "Brother Su, let me explain the essentials of riding a horse. You need to tighten your legs, keep your body upright, and use your arms to maintain balance..."

Su Yuan kept Zheng Lun's words firmly in his heart, and kept nodding.

After Zheng Lun finished speaking, Su Yuan let out a long breath, glanced at the tall horse in front of him, and said, "Okay, then let me try."

After all, according to what Zheng Lun said, Su Yuan grabbed the horse's mane with one hand, kicked his legs, and sat on the horse's back all at once.

Zheng Lun and Hei Niu were overjoyed and were about to applaud.

But Su Yuan made a "stab", then slid off the horse, and fell to the ground with a "plop".

Seeing this, Zheng Lun and Hei Niu stamped their feet angrily, and immediately rushed up to help Su Yuan up.

Su Yuan patted the dirt on his body and said, "It was a mistake just now, I'll do it again."

After finishing speaking, Su Yuan jumped on the horse's back with his legs again.

But this time, Su Yuan fell down at a faster speed.

In this way, Su Yuan jumped on the horseback nearly a hundred times, but fell off the horse nearly a hundred times at the same time.

Su Yuan was not only covered in dust from the fall, but was also out of breath from exhaustion, and finally sat on the ground, no longer having the strength to stand up.

Zheng Lun and Hei Niu looked helpless, although they have all experienced this kind of practice, usually after ten days or months of practice, they can sit steadily on the horseback.

But now time is urgent, there is no such time.

Su Yuan sat on the ground, looked at the bay red horse gliding around easily in front of him, and said in his heart: This horse's back is really too smooth, it's too easy to fall off.Back then, I was also an expert at riding a motorcycle. The seat of the motorcycle was very comfortable, which is not as difficult as sitting on the back of a horse.

Thinking of this, Su Yuan suddenly stood up from the ground, looked at the bay red horse in front of him, blinked his eyes, and said, "Why do I feel that this horse is missing something?"

Hei Niu shook his head and said: "This horse was specially sent by Yuan Futong, but it is the best horse in Beihai City, and there is nothing missing."

As he said that, Hei Niu looked at the horse's eyes and ears, and even opened the claret horse's mouth, looked at the teeth, and sure enough there was none missing.

However, Su Yuan became more and more excited the more he looked at it, then he patted his thigh and said, "So that's the case, no wonder I don't like this horse because it doesn't have a saddle or stirrup."

Hearing the two unfamiliar names that Su Yuan said, Hei Niu and Zheng Lun looked at each other and looked at each other.

"Could it be that elder brother can't learn how to ride a horse and is a little crazy?"

Just when Zheng Lun and Hei Niu were confused, Su Yuan turned around and ran out of the backyard, and at the same time shouted at Hei Niu: "Hei Niu, call the craftsmen immediately and prepare to start work."

According to historical records, the saddle stirrup was invented in the Western Han Dynasty.

Before the Western Han Dynasty, people rode on the back of a naked horse, and only relied on clamping the belly of the horse with their legs to prevent themselves from falling, but they could not use bows and arrows effectively, and could not use knives and spears to chop or stab at will.

After the invention of the saddle and stirrup, the lateral stability provided by fixing the feet made it possible for the cavalry to use the speed of the horse for a frontal impact, and the cavalry became the most powerful arm.

So when Su Yuan talked about saddles and stirrups, Hei Niu and Zheng Lun didn't know what to say.

At the same time, in another house in Beihai City.

Wu Yonghou sat in the room, looked at Yuan Xishi in front of him, and praised: "The news you provided this time is good. If I win against Su Yuan, your reward must be indispensable."

Yuan Xishi quickly lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Lord Wuyonghou, for your appreciation. If you win against him, I only have one request. Please hand over Su Yuan and Su Daji to me."

Wu Yonghou said: "Okay, no problem. As long as I get the cloak soldiers, I will immediately hand over these two useless people to you."

three days later.

On the training ground.

Marquis Wu Yong rode majestically on a black horse, waiting for Su Yuan's arrival.

Yuan Futong and other princes of Route 71 stood aside, also waiting anxiously.

Only Yuan Xishi stood there confidently, thinking to himself: Su Quanzhong, Su Quanzhong, after today's battle, you and Su Daji will fall into my hands again, let's see how I torture you.

Just when Yuan Xishi was secretly happy, he heard the sound of horseshoes outside the training ground, and saw Su Yuan galloping into the training ground on a bay red horse.
