However, Tian Meng didn't think too much about it!
During this period of time, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty had obviously paid more attention to the army.
"Your Majesty, it's hard to see anything if you shoot arrows like this. The enemy isn't such a dead target!”
Tian Meng said to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty with a smile.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty nodded and said,
"You're right. The Xiongnu won't just stand there and let us shoot!”
As he spoke, his eyes swept across the battlefield, and soon, he saw a large open space in the distance, where a group of cavalry was training in riding and archery.
"Let's go there and take a look!”
Emperor Jing of Han said to Tian Xiong, Zhao Ang, and the others.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty walked in that direction with everyone following behind him.
The general who was training the cavalry had already seen Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty approaching.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
When Emperor Jing of Han arrived, he immediately bowed respectfully.
"No need to be so polite!"
Emperor Jing of Han turned to Zhao Ang and asked,
"Is he the general in charge of this cavalry?”
"Yes, Your Majesty. Other than him, there are two other generals in charge of the cavalry training in the camp!”Zhao Ang replied.
Emperor Jing nodded and smiled at Tian Qiong.
Looking at Emperor Jing's expression, Tian Meng naturally knew that he wanted to see his martial arts.
Since Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty wanted to see it, he would let him have a good look!
Without any hesitation, he turned to the general in charge of training and asked,
"Who is the best in riding and archery?”
"The five generals have the best archery and martial arts skills!”
(The basic establishment of the Western Han army (two-five system): 5-man squad leader (5 men)-10-man squad leader (50 men, squad leader)-village leader (two teams form a village, village leader)-Qu leader (five villages form a village, 500 men, known as military marquis); Generally, five troops were a division (lieutenant), and five divisions were an army.）
The general saw that Tian Qiong was beside Emperor Jing of Han and knew that his status was extraordinary, so he cupped his hands and said.
"Let them come over. Let me see their strength!”
Tian Meng said to him.
"Yes, sir!" The general nodded and immediately ordered the people beside him to call the nameless general over.
Very quickly!
Ta, ta, ta...
Five soldiers on horses hurried over. They quickly jumped off their horses and bowed.
"Where are you five from?”
Tian Meng asked the five of them.
"General, the three of us are from Tianshui Prefecture."
"The two of us are from Beidi Prefecture."
Tian Meng nodded slightly and said,
"No wonder we were able to become military marquises. It turns out that we are all from good families in the six prefectures!"”
The so-called six counties were Longxi, Tianshui, Anding, Beidi, Shangjun, and Hexi. Because these six counties were close to the Rong Di, the people had always practiced combat readiness, focusing on hunting.
As a result, most of the young and strong people there were skilled in archery, riding, and archery. They were equipped with pommel horses and had always been the focus of the imperial court's recruitment. The soldiers from there were also mostly officers.
If they were to start a war with the Xiongnu, the soldiers in these six counties would be extremely important.
"How long have you been training here?”
Tian Meng continued to ask.
"General, it has been almost a year!”
"Alright, His Majesty came here today to see how your training is going. Let me be your opponent and see your strength!”
Tian Meng said as he looked at them.
The five of them opened their eyes and looked at each other. They were a little uncertain. One of them asked,
"Are the five of us together?"
"Not bad!"
The five of them were in disbelief when they heard Tian Meng's words. They were all Marquises and possessed extraordinary strength. Yet, this general who seemed to be about the same age as them actually wanted to face all five of them at the same time.
How arrogant!
"General, how do you want to test it?"
The five of them were fearless.
"It's simple. We will ride our horses from here to two miles away and shoot arrows at the moving targets 100 meters away. Whoever shoots the most and accurately will naturally be able to see whose riding and archery skills are the best. When we ride back, the five of you can attack me together. If you can knock me off the horse or attack my vital points, you will win.”
"Do you understand?"
Tian Meng said as he looked at the training ground.
"We understand!"
The five of them nodded. It was very simple. This kind of competition could clearly demonstrate the riding and archery skills and actual combat ability!
"Then prepare!"
Tian Qiong said softly, then he instructed the generals in charge of training to send out soldiers to move the targets.
"Are you confident?"
Emperor Jing of Han, who had been watching with a smile, couldn't help but ask when he saw Tian Meng's indifferent expression.
It wasn't easy for one person to deal with five powerful generals!
Zhao Ang, who was standing beside him, also looked at Tian Meng with an expression of disbelief. Even though he was the commander of the Ba Shang camp, he didn't have the confidence to compete with these five marquises.
"Hehe, Your Majesty, just watch!”
Tian Meng said with a smile.
Ignoring the shocked gazes of the crowd, he mounted a warhorse.
"Your Majesty, this General Tian actually dared to fight five people alone. It's really shocking!”
Zhao Ang said to Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty after Tian Qiong rode over.
Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty did not say anything as he listened. Instead, he looked at the open space in front of him and prepared to start the competition.
Not only did Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty look on, but because of the competition between Tian He and the five marquises, the rest of the cavalry's training had temporarily stopped. They all surrounded the side.
Their general was going to compete with a general who had come with the Emperor. This attracted their attention, and they were all excited and looking forward to it.
All kinds of discussions and clamor also rang out in the venue.
"That general looks about the same age as us!”
"Who is that general? He was actually compared to the five generals. The five generals were all very powerful in riding and archery!”
"No way, can he win?”
"Look, look, the target is moving!”
"Haha, this is going to be a good show!”
