After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 8 Reversal
The soldiers with long berylliums rushed up and surrounded the disciples, their faces turned ashen and their legs went limp.Just now, he was still secretly complaining about Mengdi, why did disaster happen to him suddenly?

"Why?"

Nangwa narrowed his eyes and looked at Meng Di. At this time, there were not many civil and military men in the Manchu Dynasty who could question himself so calmly.

"Win, Ben Yin believes what you say, if you don't win, you will be punished as spies."

Meng Di knew that this matter could not be changed, so he bowed his hands to Peng Ji and others: "Brothers, I did not expect to harm everyone."

"Brother Meng said nothing, without the leadership of Brother Meng, we might have died in the wilderness long ago."

"That's right, it's worth it to learn horseback riding and archery in this life!"

Although everyone was trembling, they still forced smiles and comforted Mengdi in turn.

Zhong Ying, who never spoke, also said, "It's just a death."

"That's right, it's just one death, good brother, I'll take a step first." Meng Di laughed and leaped towards the field.

The setting sun was like blood, and the cold wind was hunting. The galloping horse raised its head and neighed, then stopped suddenly, and the man stood up, with both hooves stepping into the air.

Holding the longbow in his right arm, Meng Di pointed back at Bai Bing and shouted, "Come and fight!"

The surrounding soldiers were secretly heartbroken, and each of them rode one by one, unexpectedly giving birth to a bit of heroism on the iron-blooded battlefield.

The army has always admired heroes, even if Bai Bing's skills are not as good as others, he chose to use such despicable means.No one dared to stand up and speak out under the power of lust, but they had already felt contempt in their hearts.

Bai Bing was overwhelmed by jealousy and hatred just now, he was impulsive, but when he calmed down, he knew that after the incident, he might become the laughing stock of everyone.

While hesitating, he suddenly heard a loud shout, and his mind was shocked, but he was captured by Meng Di's momentum and stood still.

It wasn't until Nangwa's dissatisfied hum came to his ears that he came back to his senses and hurriedly urged the driver to drive out.

According to the rules, both sides are not allowed to leave the field, and can only attack with bows and arrows.

Although everyone admired Mengdi's spirit, they knew that the ending was already doomed. This was not a competition, but a hunting game.

Meng Di didn't wait to die, and rode his horse around the field.

After all, Bai Bing has been on the battlefield for a long time, he has already calmed down, and stared at Meng Di with his bow.

As the chariot approached gradually, Bai Bing raised his bow and shot with a grinning grin, only to hear the sound of the bowstring, Meng Di's figure suddenly disappeared.

The horse didn't stop, and after running out of range, Meng Di appeared on the horse's back again.

Everyone exclaimed in amazement, all of them were moved, Mo Cheng also showed joy, and then darkened, dodging this arrow, there is another arrow, left and right are waiting for death.

Bai Bing was also taken aback by Mengdi's riding skills, so he drew out his arrows again and kept shooting.

Meng Di twitched and rolled on the horse, and even slipped through the horse's belly several times, but miraculously escaped one by one.

The crowd onlookers were dazzled and couldn't restrain themselves any longer, they started talking one after another.

Peng Ji and the others even gave birth to a glimmer of hope. Could it be that they won after all the arrows were shot?
Nangwa became even more angry, and ordered to beat the drums, and the drums sounded bursts.

At this time, the chariot had unknowingly pushed Meng Di to a corner, and the room for wandering was greatly reduced.

Hearing the urging of the drum, Bai Bing's heart became ruthless, he drew out several feathered arrows, and shot them one after another.This is his unique skill of pressing the bottom of the box. One person can shoot a rain of arrows with one bow, blooming like a flower. Although the lethality is weaker, the advantage is that the coverage is large and it is almost impossible to avoid.

Sure enough, there was only a muffled groan, and Meng Di fell on the horse's back and stopped moving, his figure was precarious, and the longbow in his hand was hanging down by his feet.

There was silence on and off the court, and the drumming stopped.

The faces of Mo Cheng, Peng Ji and others were pale. Although the ending was already doomed, they always held a glimmer of hope, and now only despair remained.

Nangwa nodded in satisfaction, signaling Douxin to go to the tent to discuss matters.

The one with the most complicated mood was Bai Bing. Facing an opponent with an injured arm and unable to open the bow, he actually shot seven or eight arrows with a pot of arrows before relying on his unique skills to win.Disinterestedly put away the bow and arrow, motioning for the warrior to approach.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and Meng Di suddenly raised his head and turned around to lie on his back on the horse. His right foot drew up the longbow, and his right hand held a feathered arrow on the string, and shot it like lightning.

Bai Bing was caught off guard, his right shoulder was hit by an arrow, he yelled and fell on his back, falling off the car.

Only a few people, Liao Liao, saw clearly what was going on.

Meng Di pretended to be injured, and lured the chariot to approach, then fixed his bow with his right foot, controlled the string with his right hand, and shot Bai Bing unexpectedly.

So the question is, where did the arrow come from?Just now when Meng Di entered the field with an indomitable posture, he didn't take the arrow.Everyone thought it was a self-defeating act, but now that they think about it, it seems to have a deep meaning, because of this, Bai Bing was defenseless.

So the conclusion is that this arrow came from Bai Bing.

The soldiers were boiling, and most of them didn't know why the reversal happened, but it didn't prevent them from expressing their respect to Mengdi with cheers.

Nangwa's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water, he watched Mengdi sitting on the horse, and bowed from a distance to salute.

Having been an official for many years, he knows that the will of soldiers is humble and weak, but if they are united together, they cannot be insulted lightly.

"Idiot!" Nangwa flicked his sleeves, didn't even enter the big tent, and went back to the camp.

The days that followed were easier.

Bai Bing hid in the camp all day to recuperate from his wounds, and even if he recovered, he would not dare to pay the bill.

According to the prior agreement, Meng Di became a cavalryman.However, Douxin specially allocated one pawn (hundred people) who could ride horses and one hundred war horses. Meng Di was the pawn leader, and Peng Ji and others were also included in this pawn.

This pawn cavalry returned to Douxin's personal command, and other generals in the army had no right to intervene.

Meng Di led the cavalrymen to practice riding and archery all day long. Some chariot soldiers disdain to be cavalrymen, but admire Mengdi's archery skills very much, and always find excuses to steal from them.

Meng Di didn't hide his secrets, and he taught whatever he asked, and the atmosphere in the barracks was full of competition and catching up.

In the big tent, Dou Xin was discussing with the two generals. There was still no abnormality in the Wu army camp. Two groups of scouts had been sent to the south, but none of them came back.

"It's better to let me take Baicheng to rush to the Wu army's camp, and then we will know the truth." Mo Cheng recovered from his injuries and was eager to try.

"No, the army must be dispatched with a warrant from Lord Ling Yin or Lord Sima."

"Then let Mengdi's cavalry try it out, maybe they will find something." Zhu Qu suggested that since Mengdi showed his skills on the field, everyone's expectations of him have increased infinitely.

Dou Xin pondered: "The cavalry has only been in the army for a few days, I don't know how the training is going."

"I heard that Meng Di's method of training soldiers is quite innovative."

"Oh, go and see."

The three of them couldn't decide for a while, so they simply decided to visit the cavalry camp.

The cavalry camp was set aside separately, away from the big tent.When the three arrived, they were confused by the lively atmosphere in front of them.

Some of the soldiers were brushing the horses, some were feeding the fodder, and some were whispering with their arms around the horses' necks.It's just that no one is training.

Meng Di hurried over to see him, and Dou Xin asked in amazement, "Could it be that you didn't send servants over?"

"The cavalry don't need servants, so let me go back."

Seeing the puzzled faces of the three people, Meng Dishi calmly explained the truth.

It turns out that if you want to use a horse, you must first train the horse.Although the horse has human nature, it is a beast after all. If it wants to make it understand the intention of the knight, it should try to communicate the relationship between humans and horses.Touching it frequently, relieving itching, providing drinking water, adding grass and food, and washing it in person are all to increase the relationship between human and horse, and finally achieve a human-horse body.

These principles opened the eyes of Douxin and others, but what they are most concerned about is when the cavalry can go to the battlefield. As for reaching Mengdi's level, everyone has never thought about it.

"Three months of training can barely go to the battlefield, and it will take at least three years to become a victorious army. It's just that less than half of the hundreds of horses can really be used for cavalry, and the draft horses used for chariots and carts are not suitable."

That's it, the three of them looked at each other and smiled wryly, their thoughts just now were indeed a bit optimistic.

Seeing this, Meng Di hurriedly asked for details, and when he learned that he was going to visit the camp, he thought about it and said, "If you choose fifty cavalry, give me another fifty cavalry scouts, and you can have a try."

"I can only give you thirty scouts, let's go tomorrow!"
