Chapter 142 The Emperor's Horse
Dali's animal husbandry industry was quite developed and it was also rich in good horses. Most of the war horses in the southern army of the Ming Dynasty came from Dali, and many masters of horse racing and horse training were hidden among the people of Dali.
Many good horses are not raised by folks, but are domesticated by wild horses.
Most wild horses are violent and unruly by nature. If you want to tame it, you must first surrender it. In the 18 Docks of Jiuzhai, a kind of "reducing horse" profession that is respectable and cannot be done by ordinary people.
The third battle between Ye Gao and his family, the "debut" early the next morning of the milk touching festival, was a game that was about to be defeated!
The second most dangerous competition in Ximending represents Maweizhai. It is a collective melee competition event, and it is also this horse-reduction competition.
The "horse reduction" competition has always been the most difficult and exciting competition in the milk touch festival event, no doubt.
The horse submerged horse sits on the bare horse's back without a bareback, and of course, there is no reins. You can hold the horse's neck, but it is strictly prohibited for players to grab the horse's hair with their hands. Violators will be eliminated immediately and clamp the horse's body tightly to grasp the balance of their body. The wild horse will hate all those who try to ride on their backs. It is even more serious than the hatred of killing their father and the hatred of taking their wife. In an instant, they will be crazy and jump up and down, and will never give up until they fall off the rider on their backs. It is nothing to be lifted down. What's scary is that the wild horse will rush up, kick forward and back, and even more violently, and will open its mouth to bite. Until it makes all its strength and is finally subdued.
Sixteen players in the horse-substation competition face a wild horse, and there is only one winner. Whoever wants to win in the end has to deal with the fierce wild horse, but also faces the opponent's harassment and evil attacks. The difficulty can be imagined.
This requires that the horse descenders not only have excellent riding skills, but also require superb skills, superhuman courage and tenacious will.
Of course, the overall cooperation of the team is also required. Often, only one person is selected from the eight-person team to subdue the horse, and the other seven people protect him. This person is naturally the strongest subdue horse.
The horse-restoring competition is a battle that shows strength, tests endurance, and is full of violence, but it is also a wonderful riding performance.
Often, the horse-selling competition will immediately enter the **, instantly igniting the audience's passion and 100% giving birth to their adrenaline. The fierce applause and whistle will be heard. Onlookers from Ye Gao's two families will always be in a state of tension and excitement.
Today, this horse-drawing competition venue, about two or three football fields, was the site where the archery competition was yesterday. The fences on the periphery have been reinforced today, and the fences are five or six meters wide, and are covered with thorns. It is obviously to prevent the wild horses from rushing out of the fence and hurting the onlookers.
Although the one-to-one result in yesterday's game was completely expected, the result of this score was beyond everyone's expectations. The events in which Ye Gao and the two winning the game were the opponent's strengths, and the outcome was reversed.
In today's Horse Reduction Competition, both players have been evenly matched for many years. Because it is the third game. For the five-game three-win system, the importance of this competition can be imagined. It is as the saying goes, whoever wins, will have an absolute advantage, whether in terms of scores or psychology. Therefore, the Horse Reduction Competition has always been a game where Ye Gao and his two players break the head and sacrifice their lives, and win.
Faced with such an important competition, both Ye Gao's family attached great importance to it. The heads of the two families led the leaders of the 18th Dogs of Jiuzhai and the elites of the Five Poisons of Baidu Sect and the people of the Five Poisons of Baidu Sect and all came to the scene to cheer for the eight players of their respective players.
The game has not yet begun, and the gunpowder smells of the two camps are already full of energy.
As a wild horse locked in an iron cage was "pushed" on the field, everyone was stunned to see it, including the sixteen players in the field, the smell of gunpowder was instantly extinguished.
What kind of horse is this?
The fur all over its body turned out to be golden, without any variegated color. The hair on its mane and tail were as slender as silk, like golden golden threads, smooth and shiny.
Its body is dry and delicate, and its symmetrical structure is extremely beautiful. Looking closely, it has an exquisite head, which has a perfect wedge shape, concave and wide jaw. The neck is slender and straight, the chest is wide and deep, the back is straight and the waist is short, the bones are slender, the limbs are long and powerful, the joints are obvious, the attachment points of the tendon are evenly protruding, the muscles are long and bulging, and the hooves are not big, but the hooves are solid, and they are actually golden, like real gold.
Although it was locked in an iron cage, it did not show any mania. At first glance, it was not like a wild horse, but rather a royal noble with a higher education. No, it was like a king, with its head high and raised tail like a distance. In its particularly large and protruding eyes, there was a deep area, looking down at the shocked crowd around it, as if it was disdainful to look at the humble human.
In the quiet crowd, an old voice suddenly trembled: "Flying without wings, victorious without swords... This... this actually... it was... the emperor's horse--" The old voice stopped abruptly, as if he was suddenly strangled by someone. It was obviously because of excitement and surprise that he couldn't breathe and suddenly fainted.
The Emperor's Horse?!
The imperial foal that has not appeared in thousands of years??!!
Countless people in the field who had been looking at each other for a lifetime almost popped their eyes out.
According to the few historical records circulating among the people, more than 700 years ago, an imperial horse appeared in Yunnan and Guizhou. The locals captured it and presented it to Zhao Kuangyin, the Emperor Taizu of Song at that time. However, they did not expect that even if he issued an imperial edict to the world and summoned the surrendered horses, no one could surrender it. They even escaped from the trap and disappeared from then on.
The great Song Empire could not even subdue a horse. How could Zhao Kuangyin feel? He immediately issued a secret decree, forbidding anyone to talk about this matter. Those who violated the matter would destroy the nine clans!
Unexpectedly, after more than seven hundred, the emperor's horse will reappear on earth!
So, can anyone surrender it more than seven hundred years later?
Everyone looked at the horse-subduing masters selected from Jiuzhai Shibawu (of course, "Arrow Saint" Ximending was excluded), and shook their heads secretly.
