The new year is coming. I wish you all a happy new year.

In the era of Ping'an and Kamakura, riding and shooting was the highest of the eighteen martial arts that a real warrior had to master.

At that time, there was a popular one riding discussion between samurai. Two riding Samurai rarely fought at close range, but mostly raised their bows and shot at each other on horses, so as to determine the victory or defeat by riding and shooting.

This mode of warfare continued in the Kamakura era, but in the Warring States era, the status of riding and shooting gradually weakened with the collectivization and large-scale of war and the introduction of iron guns.

However, for a warrior, riding and shooting is still a powerful weapon that must be mastered.

In peace, warriors are the best way to practice riding and shooting on weekdays. There are three kinds: Li hanging, flowing horses and dogs chasing things, which are also called three things of riding and shooting by warriors.

Among the three objects of riding and shooting, dogs chase after objects, which is the closest to the actual combat of war and the most exciting way of riding and shooting.

In general, an ordinary dog chase competition is to order 36 horseback warriors to shoot 150 fighting dogs with bows and arrows in a competition field with a length of 40 and a width of 40. The one who shoots more is the winner.

Dog chasing is generally held as a major sacrifice of the martial arts family. In the ninth year of civilization, because the rebellion of Yingren ended and shogunate general Zu liyishang ascended the throne, a grand dog chasing was held in Kyoto.

At that time, a total of 1500 fighting dogs and more than 100 horseback warriors performed this grand ceremony in front of the general's palace.

At present, the dog chase competition is about to begin. With the continuous beating of Taigu on the high platform for three times, first, the crazy roar of a group of dogs came from the cage with 150 fighting dogs on the field.

For a moment, the smell was fishy. The fighting dogs on the field jumped up and down in the dog cage and kept yelling at the stands.

There was another drum. As the barrier was pulled up, the fighting dogs rushed forward from the narrow channel.

Suddenly, in the middle of the 40 room wide field, there were full of fighting dogs who had just escaped from the cage.

On the three sides of the stand, Takeda family officials and family members looked forward to the upcoming ceremony of dog chasing.

Regardless of the family officials, young and old are keen on this way. Looking at the vigorous Mercedes Benz on the field, it seems like a fighting dog jumping out of a wooden fence. They point out and comment with interest.

Shinda Xinglong sat next to Li Xiaoyi, holding a folding fan and shaking it gently. He seemed to rely on the old and sell the old. He said, "in those days, the Beitiao family was in power in the moon wheel temple hall. It is said that he was addicted to fighting dogs. Tian Le lost the world."

Li Xiao smiled. This statement sounded like the reason why song Huizong was addicted to calligraphy and painting and even subjugated the country.

Li Xiaoyan said, "I heard that the zaoyun Hall of Xiangmo Beitiao's family inherited the way of dog chasing things from Beitiao's family, and I'm one of the first-class masters."

Yoshiro Shinda smiled and continued to gently shake the folding fan in his hand, saying: "How did the zaoyun hall inherit the Beitiao family's theory? It's just a matter of deceiving the world and stealing fame. However, the bow and horse skill of the zaoyun hall comes from yishiliu. Since the imperial court decided to have a position, they are the public martial arts family, and their etiquette models are teachers all over the world. Since the opening of the holding hall, they have a position in the martial arts family, which is not yishiliu, that is, Ogasawara."

"It's not surprising to hear that the deacon of zaoyun hall and shogunate government office is extremely successful, and Yishi Zhenzong is a follower brother. Therefore, it's an expert in dog chasing things. However, today's dripping of bow and horse skill can be regarded as a model of martial etiquette, but the xiaoliyuan family should be the first, followed by our family."

Li Xiao was stunned. Zaoyun hall is Beitiao zaoyun. It turned out that he was not a ronin's origin as mentioned on the Internet. His father, that is, his uncle, Yishi Zhenqin, was prominent and held great power. He was also the teacher of two shogunate generals, Zuli Yizheng, and the adoptive father of Zuli Yishang.

Beitiao zaoyun and his father are both shogunate shencizhong. They can become shencizhong. This family is equivalent to the family guarded by a country. Now they are the second generation of officials worthy of the name.

Li Xiao listened to Shinda Xinglong's praise of Ogasawara's bow and horse flow, saying: "Ogasawara's family is the concubine of Takeda's family, so their bow and horse skills are also related to each other."

While Li Xiao was chatting with Shinda Xinglong, thirty-six Takeda horseback warriors were wearing gorgeous Takeda clothes with their own family patterns.

At the moment, they sat majestically on the horse with a strong horse, an arrow pot and a long bow, waiting behind the wooden fence.

The relatives on the side can't help cheering up for the athletes in their family at the moment.

After a while, these horseback warriors will rush into the field and shoot fighting dogs with bows and arrows. Who will win.

On the other side of the court, several people tentatively threw several large pieces of bloody fresh meat into the field.

This action immediately attracted the competition of fighting dogs on the field. For a moment, there was more than a roar, and blood and broken meat flew everywhere.

When Li Xiao saw this scene, he was stunned and thought that if the samurai accidentally fell off his horse for a while, he might also be the fate of this broken meat.

However, the officials of the Takeda family looked at it and couldn't help pointing with a smile and commenting on which fighting dog was more ferocious.

On one side, the horseback warriors stood in a parallel row outside the field, but they were eager to try. They looked excited and had no sense of fear.

Because the older ministers of the Takeda family won't participate in the competition, they are all young children. Many of them expect to show their skills in the competition and be appreciated by Takeda Xinxuan, so they have become ambassadors, Australians and novices. At worst, they are also mixed with the flag.

"Look, Li Xiao," Shinda Xinglong suddenly pointed the folding fan at the thirty-six horseback warriors and said, "my family's mid autumn mountain family and the trace family are very good at bowing horses. The trace family is a tributary of the Ogasawara family, and the autumn mountain family and the Ogasawara family can also be said to be the same family."

Li Xiao looked carefully. It was true that nearly half of the thirty-six horseback warriors were painted with family patterns of Qiushan family and tracebu family.

Of course, Li Xiao also saw three familiar faces, including Akiyama's Pro long and makbu Changzhong. Both of them were born close to Takeda shenglai, and one was even more stunned, that is, Li Xiao's future general, Akiyama's Pro long brother, Changheng Tuwu.

Li Xiao was surprised that his fart was so big that he also came to the dog chasing contest.

However, seeing that the other party has shaved his head for half a month, it seems that he has just turned 12 in the new year.

At that age, Yuanfu was not too early.

However, with his body, Li Xiao couldn't help worrying about him when he came to the dog chase competition.

"Start."

With an order from the high platform.

At this time, one side of the wooden fence was pulled up, and thirty-six horsemen, holding reins, drove their horses into the field.

When the fighting dog in the center of the venue saw a samurai riding into it, he first subconsciously fled to the corner to avoid.

At this time, the horseback warriors, almost at the same time, drew bows and arrows together and shot at the fighting dogs running around on the ground.

Squeak!

When the arrow broke through the air, first came a long series of beeps.

The arrows used in the hands of the samurai are special dysprosium arrows. Each arrow breaks through the air and is accompanied by a neighing.

From time to time, a bow and arrow swept through the air like a locust. The fighting dogs on the field couldn't escape and were shot and killed one after another.

As the horses galloped, the warriors calmly sat on the horses, pulled out the second arrow, took one side of their body, aimed at a running fighting dog, and shot it with one arrow.

The dog blood splashed on the field, and the frightened fighting dogs flew in panic in all directions. At this time, the difficulty appeared. As soon as the speed of fighting dogs accelerated, many arrows in the hands of the warriors shot empty one after another.

The second arrow is not easy to hit. The fighting dog is better than people. It is faster and smaller. It is more difficult to hit.

Therefore, warriors who can shoot fighting dogs can show their excellent bow and horse skills.

The vigorous posture of the horseback warrior galloped on the court. Although it was very difficult, there were still fighting dogs in the middle of the field.

Some fighting dogs were pierced by arrows and killed immediately, while others were fixed on the ground with bows and arrows and struggled reluctantly.

Many of the wounded fighting dogs fought back and rushed at the wounded rider, biting the horses under the other party, and biting the horse's hooves.

The scene was immediately lively and mixed up. The roars of warriors, the sound of dysprosium arrows and the howling of fighting dogs were mixed together. On the side stand, the audience looked nervous and clenched their fingers.

Whenever a knight's mount is bitten on the field, many people will cry out and worry about each other.

But more people are more addictive and exciting.

But from the bottom of Li Xiao's eyes, how do you think of the Spanish bullfight? It's the same program.

However, the bloody degree is even more excessive. If this scene is seen by the current animal protection association, it must be vigorously prevented.

"Lord, your highness of righteousness, leave."

While Li Xiao was watching the game, shioka Yiyu kept his eyes on Takeda Yixin in the stands.

Hearing Shigang Yiyu's reminder, Li Xiao immediately raised his head and looked up at the stage. Indeed, Takeda Xinxuan was approaching with him and was going down from the stand and leaving slowly.

Takeda Yixin left at this time. It's very suspicious. Did he decide to do it? It seems impossible. He can't be ready so soon after the new year.

Soon, a small note came to Li Xiao's hand.

This is a private message sent by Takeda shenglai to Li Xiao. It says Takeda Yixin returned to the residence in advance because he felt unwell.

Li Xiao looked puzzled, and his guess became stronger. He immediately told Yoshiro Zhentian about the situation.

After hearing this, Yoshiro Shinda also sent people to issue orders to his ninjas for the first time to strengthen the monitoring of movements around here, and sent people to track Takeda's whereabouts.

In the current situation, Li Xiao and Takeda shenglai, who speculated that Takeda Yixin might rebel, are more painful.

The first hand of the rebellion is in the hands of Takeda Yixin. If he doesn't get the news that he didn't start, Li Xiao and Takeda shenglai here can't start, so they can only wait and see the change. (to be continued.
