Chapter 39 Eighteen Riders in Blood
Xiong Qi recognized at a glance that this sword was the "Golden Needle Tribulation" in the Hengshan Sect's sword technique. He was particularly good at surprise and was unpredictable.
With a slight smile, Xiong Qi's head was slightly tilted, and the sharp sword passed through his ears. Then he clicked his right hand on the wrist of the woman opposite. The woman's hand holding the sword numbed, and with a "clang", the sword fell to the ground.
With one hand stretched out, Xiong Qi took the woman opposite into his arms and exerted a little force, and she could no longer move immediately.
The woman shouted anxiously:
"What are you going to do in broad daylight? Let me go!"
"do what?"
Xiong Qi laughed, hugged the woman and walked into the house, saying:
"Since you are a thief, of course you have to do what the thief should do!"
Holding someone would not affect his speed at all. The woman in her arms struggled and scolded her, and she entered the room in a few steps.
Several maids in the yard covered their mouths and laughed loudly when they saw this. Then they skillfully and quickly stepped forward to close the door, and then stood guard outside without mentioning it.
...
In the palace martial arts field, more than a hundred "Iron Uniform Guards" are practicing hard without any hesitation.
Xiong Qi was wearing a white brocade robe, with his hands in his arms, walked around the crowd, nodding slightly from time to time.
These "Iron Uniform Guards" were all orphans, and were selected by him by him at the age of ten, and they were all loyal to him.
Because everyone was cast by him to perform secret techniques, a drop of essence condensed in the kidneys, and his cultivation talent was amazing. To this day, most of them have cultivated the tiger roar golden bell cover and the dragon roar iron cloth shirt to great success.
Dacheng's hard skill is not damaged by swords. Although the martial arts value of the Tianlong world is much higher than that of the Xiaonao World, if you take out any of these "Iron Uniform Guards", you can still be considered a top-notch master in the world.
If you say that fighting alone in the world may not be eye-catching, but when you form a military formation and have heavy armor, they are invincible troops!
When the two armies fight and fight in close combat, they pay attention to bravely step forward, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road, and the small kung fu such as dodge and maneuvering in the world are useless.
Unless it reaches the innate level, internal strength is not of great use. The role played by martial arts masters in military confrontation is not as good as a disciplined soldier.
‘Swoosh’
Eighteen "Iron Uniform Guards" were using bows and arrows to shoot archery targets in the distance, and everyone was making good use of it, and almost all arrows hit the bull's eye.
These "Iron Uniform Guards" are different from others and are very talented in archery. After discovering this, Xiong Qi brought them out separately for training.
In addition to the two horizontal hard skills of the Golden Bell Cover and the Iron Cloth Shirt, he taught these "Iron Clothing Guards" many hidden weapons and techniques, and even invited the Imperial Guards' instructor Zhou Tong many times to teach them archery skills.
Therefore, although the eighteen "Iron Uniform Guards"'s horizontal hard skills were not fast and had not yet achieved great success, it was the turn of archery skills that were not inferior to any sharp shooter in the world today!
Moreover, when it comes to physical strength, endurance, and endurance, these "Iron Uniform Guards" who have practiced horizontal hard skills are far above those sharp shooters, and even archers who are good at shooting on the grassland are not as good as those.
Squinted his eyes and looked at the "Iron-in-Clean Guards" who were bent their bows and shooting arrows, Xiong Qi remembered the legendary Eighteen Cavalry of Yan Yun.
According to legend, during the Sui Dynasty, Luo Yi, the Jingbian Hou, established a powerful cavalry unit called the "Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun".
The "Yanyun Eighteen Riders" consists of eighteen people, each of whom was equipped with several horses, each carrying a few pots of arrows, each with a mask, with great skills and powerful archery skills.
It is said that Luo Yi once led the "Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun" to ambush the invading Chahahe tribe, killing more than 3,000 people overnight, and then chased them relentlessly and killed all 20,000 grassland cavalry.
That’s right, the reason why Xiong Qi spent a lot of effort to cultivate these eighteen "Iron Uniform Guards" was to forge his own "Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry"!
Now, after nearly ten years of training, these "Iron Uniform Guards" have begun to take shape. They are not only skillful in archery skills, but also have amazing strength on the arrows.
Xiong Qi once tried that even a top expert in the world would be caught off guard and would be penetrated by a single shot!
Even if the first-class masters are like this, any general or cavalry in the army will find it difficult to resist the arrow shot by these "Iron Uniform Guards".
Unless he has a century-old Beiming true energy and is close to the "unity of man and nature", even if he is a congenital master, facing these eighteen "Iron Uniform Guards" in a round of volleys, he will be in chaos and will definitely die at most three rounds.
"Find some time to pull them out and let them improve. Just practicing hard here will ultimately be useless!"
While patrolling the martial arts training ground with his hands behind his back, Xiong Qi thought to himself.
"Your Highness!"
A "Iron Uniform Guard" came to Xiong Qi, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said:
"The thousand imperial guards assigned by the imperial court have arrived. The chief general, Lord Zhou Tong, asks His Highness to go with the army!"
"Um!"
Xiong Qi nodded slightly, looked around at the martial arts training ground, and ordered:
"This time I went to Dali, except for Su Xinghe and others, Junyi and the "Eighteen Cavalry of Blood Clothes" will follow me!"
The "Eighteen Cavalry in Blood Clothing" are the eighteen "Iron-Clothing Guards" who are good at shooting, and are the "Eighteen Cavalry in Yanyun" in Xiong Qi's mind.
...
"I've seen Your Highness!"
Zhou Tong, who made great contributions in Pingxia City and was promoted to the commander of the imperial guards, stepped forward to pay homage to Xiong Qi.
"General Zhou please get up!"
Xiong Qi raised his hand and asked for it. He turned around and smiled at the elegant and luxurious Princess Shen, surrounded by eight women in palace clothes.
"Princess, please go back to your house. This trip to Dali will not take too long, and you will be able to come back in three or five months at most!"
"Your Highness is careful all the way and come back early!"
Princess Shen, who has been married for a year and a half, has a graceful manner, looked at Xiong Qi and said softly, surrounded by several palace maids.
Xiong Qi smiled slightly, blinked at the princess, turned around and joined the imperial guards outside with Lu Junyi and the "Eighteen Cavalry in Blood".
He An did not follow him, but stayed in the royal palace.
...
On the official road, a team of one thousand people, with distinct armor, walked slowly.
A general wearing bright light armor walked with Xiong Qi and horses.
"Your Highness, you have never had the chance to meet. The last general has not thanked for his recommendation yet!"
Finally getting rid of his identity as the instructor of the Imperial Army and becoming a general in the Song Dynasty army, Zhou Tong was full of spring and was very grateful to Xiong Qi. He took this opportunity to express his gratitude.
"Haha, General Zhou doesn't have to do this!"
Xiong Qi smiled and said:
"With General Zhou's talent, even without the introduction of this king, he will stand out sooner or later!"
Of course, this is not the case. Zhou Tong is unknown in history. If it weren't for the training of Lin Chong, Wu Song, and even the famous general Yue Fei of the ages, no one would have known him at all.
Although Xiong Qi attached great importance to Zhou Tong, he did not express his intention to win over along the way. Zhao Xu was still in power and he had no idea of developing power.
Of course, if there is a change in the future, that is another matter!
From Kaifeng to Dali, Yunnan, the journey is a thousand miles, not war, the troops march slowly, and it took a thousand imperial guards nearly a month to arrive.
"The regent of the Dali Kingdom, King Zhennan, and the ministers of Dali, met His Highness, the angel of the Song Dynasty, King Shen!"
Ten miles away from Dali City, Duan Zhengchun, the southern king of Dali Town, and his ministers from Dali went out of the city to welcome the envoys of the Song Dynasty. Duan Zhengchun politely shouted.
"Haha, don't be too polite to the King of Zhennan!"
Xiong Qi jumped off his horse, stepped forward with Zhou Tong, and met Duan Zhengchun.
It’s not a pity that he is the “Love Saint” in the Tianlong. Although Duan Zhengchun has a national face, he looks very handsome. Even when he reaches middle age, he is still romantic.
