I rise from the sword

Chapter 35 Riding Competition
school field.

The three competitors each brought their own horses.

"team leader!"

"team leader!"

Yang Lin nodded, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing a strange smile, and said, "I heard from Company Commander Wen that the three of you are very good at riding."

"However, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and many times you need to test your on-the-spot adaptability."

"So, let's do something different today."

"Something different?"

The three of them froze for a moment, feeling a little uneasy in their hearts.

"That's right!" Yang Lin nodded: "These three war horses are your respective mounts, right?"

The three nodded.

"Since these three war horses can be selected by you to be your mounts, they must be the best horses in the entire battalion."

The three nodded again.

Except for the battalion commander Yuan Datou, the entire cavalry battalion is the largest of the three.

The three of them naturally pick the best horses.

"Since it is a good horse, it must have a strong temper, and it is difficult for ordinary people to tame it."

"So, for this competition, the three of you need to exchange mounts."

Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of Sun Meng, the first company commander of the original cavalry battalion, and Liao Ping, the second company commander changed slightly.

It's not that they can't control the other two war horses. In fact, these tamed war horses don't have much wildness anymore, so it's not difficult for them to control them.

But the key issue is that suddenly changing to an unfamiliar horse will inevitably affect their next performance.

In fact, not to mention war horses, cars are the same. As a driver, if you suddenly change to a car that does not belong to you, you will be very uncomfortable at first.

Even old drivers are no exception, and it also takes a certain amount of time to get used to it. "What, is there a problem?"

When he was speaking, Yang Lin's gaze was fixed on the face of Liu Xiao, the commander of the third company. Seeing that his expression was still calm, he couldn't help becoming very interested in him.

"no problem!"

The three shook their heads.

If you admit it at this time, you will basically miss the position of the commander of the cavalry company.

"Okay! If that's the case, let's start."

"Take out your housekeeping skills."

"So many brothers are watching, they can't wait!"

"Yes!"

The three of them suddenly agreed.

The first company leader, Sun Meng, put on an unfamiliar mount, which made him a little uncomfortable.

However, in the end, they successfully completed the competitions such as walking, brisk walking, charging and chopping, horseback shooting, etc., but the final results were not very satisfactory.

Only played [-]% of the usual level.

The second company commander, Liao Ping, rode the mount of the third company commander Liu Xiao, and his final test results were not very satisfactory, basically on par with Sun Meng.

This kind of performance obviously couldn't satisfy Yang Lin, so he fixed his eyes on Liu Xiao who appeared last.

At this time Liu Xiao got on his horse, and he was riding the mount of Sun Meng, the commander of the company.

As he got on his horse and reined in the reins, the restless war horse immediately calmed down.

Well-behaved like a child.

It only caught Yang Lin's attention at once.

"It's interesting." Yang Lin shrank his pupils and asked Wen Peng next to him, "Old Wen, this Liu Xiao is not simple."

Wen Peng nodded and said: "This Liu Xiao's riding skills are indeed the best in our battalion, and his third company is also the most powerful.

It's a pity that this person is a little arrogant, so he has been suppressed by Yuan Datou, and excluded by Sun Meng and Liao Ping. "

"Oh."

Yang Lin nodded, but he was a little confused. It's normal for a capable person to be a little arrogant.

It's just that such a character should be very bloody, how could he be a traitor, and how could he be willing to follow Yuan Datou, that trash?
Can't figure it out, Yang Lin didn't think too much, but turned his attention to the school field.

"Slow down, let's go!"

But when Liu Xiao pinched his legs lightly, the war horse shook its head and began to move forward slowly.

"speed-walking!"

When Liu Xiao clamped his legs again, the horse immediately accelerated and began to trot forward.

"Target, straight ahead, charge!"

Liu Xiao stepped up his strength again, and the war horse under his crotch was like a psychic. With a long hiss of "Woo", he threw off his four hooves and rushed forward.

Seeing this scene, Sun Meng and Liu Xiao's hearts suddenly "thumped", the situation is not good!
Especially Sun Meng, this is his war horse.

According to his common sense, it takes time for war horses and people to get used to each other before they can cooperate with each other tacitly.

This is the reason why he and Liao Ping played abnormally.

Yang Lin was secretly happy in his heart, and found the treasure again.

Although most people need to get in touch with the war horse for a period of time before they can become one and cooperate with each other tacitly.

But there is a kind of people in this world, they are born knights, no matter how strong the horse is under their crotch, it will immediately become a docile sheep.

At this moment, Liu Xiao suddenly hid in a stirrup, and his whole body was stuck to the side of the saddle.

Looking from the other side, I saw a fine horse galloping forward, but no one could be seen.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Xiao jumped up again, standing on the horse's back with bent legs, letting the horse gallop like flying, but Liu Xiao seemed to be integrated with the horse.

"Excellent horsemanship!"

Seeing this, Ma Gan, Zhao Dejiu and others couldn't help but praise.

It was too late to say it, and then it was too late, Liu Xiao suddenly fell upside down and fell from the side of the horse's back.

"not good!"

Suddenly there was a burst of exclamation in the school field, and everyone thought that Liu Xiao was about to fall.

Sun Meng and Liao Ping were secretly delighted in their hearts, telling you to pretend to be too aggressive, you must have gone too far.

But just as Liu Xiao was about to fall off his horse, his figure suddenly stopped.

From a distance, the whole person seems to grow sideways on the side of the horse, completely integrated with the horse.

But there was only a flash of cold light.

In the next instant, the head of the thatched puppet used for training on the sideways flew out, splashing grass and flowers.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Xiao turned back on his horse.

As the horse galloped forward, the cavalry knife in Liu Xiao's hand slashed left and right. Wherever it passed, the thatched dolls used for training fell down like a knife and leeks.

Shock!

All the soldiers of the independent brigade who were watching were shocked by Liu Xiao's superb equestrian skills.

Although Liu Xiao hadn't shot from horseback yet, both Sun Meng and Liao Ping knew that they had lost.

At this time, Liu Xiao had put the knife back into its sheath, and took off the rifle behind his back.

Compared with infantry shooting, horseback shooting is undoubtedly much more difficult.

Because shooting pays attention to stability, not only the hands holding the gun must be stable, but also the feet must be stable.

Pull the trigger decisively when the eyes, the crosshairs and the target are on a three-point line.

However, the cavalry running at high speed is not stable at all.

If you want to hit the target, you can only rely on your feelings, as well as the experience accumulated over the years of training and actual combat.
