Reborn Black Lotus can read minds

What comes faster than the mid-month sacrifice is the gladiatorial battle five days later.

The last trace of afterglow disappeared in the sky, and the sky gradually darkened.

The vast wasteland, the dead soil, majestic, quiet, and straight-faced, seem to have solidified the turbulent waves and emptying waves of the northern desert in an instant, and will remain still forever.

The bodyguards set up a high platform for Xiao Xingyun. Seven or eight people were guarding him, with stern faces and hands behind their backs. The men of the bodyguards were strong and upright. The thousands of soldiers standing under the stage were hunched over and had sallow faces and thin muscles. These two groups of people looked at Xiao Xingyun. They don't even look like the same kind.

Shen Yuan suspected that if those skinny soldiers saw food, their eyes would light up like wild dogs.

Xiao Xingyun sat on the high platform, and Ye Jin stood beside him with a solemn expression.

Feng Chime and Shen Yuan stood together.

"The Huns began to ride horses and shoot arrows at the age of five or six. A single cavalryman is very capable of fighting. When my grandfather was the governor of Yecheng, the Huns invaded the border. He went out with dozens of cavalrymen and met three Huns cavalrymen on the road. In the end, except for my grandfather, Our cavalry was completely wiped out, and the other side was unscathed." Xiao Xingyun glanced at the people in front of him, "...So, I want a superb cavalry team."

After everyone heard this, their eyes all fell on Shen Yuan.

Xiao Xingyun continued: "The Huns cavalry is very strong, but it is not without its shortcomings. The first point is that the Huns cavalry cannot fight at close range. Their traditional tactic is riding and shooting, coming and going like the wind, extremely fast, and relying on distance to kill. But, if Cavalrymen on galloping horses are charged into close combat and can easily fall to death.”

Shen Yuan understood what Xiao Xingyun meant very well. She started learning horses and double swords when she was five or six years old, all for the sake of accuracy in close combat.

Be prepared, because Shen Dayan never thought about letting his little daughter become a female general, he just wanted her to have the ability to defend herself.

It is true that no one could get close to Shen Yuan in her previous life, but who would have thought that fate would cause her to end her life by hitting a pillar by herself.

Death of the heart is greater than death of the body.

She knew very well where the fatal flaw of the cavalry was. She took a step forward and said respectfully: "Master Xiao, you don't have to attack the cavalry with cavalry. Once the Huns cavalry encounters precise troop formations, such as infantry holding shields and holding long The spears fought with them in close combat, but they were just out of reach and could not shake the main force. In the Battle of Xianyuan, the Xiongnu's Shanyu gathered 40 cavalry and surrounded me... ahem, General Shen was surrounded in the Pagoda for seven days. , because General Shen led the Shen family’s elite infantry, they were unable to crack the Shen family’s infantry tactics, and they were unable to chew off the bone for seven days. In the end, they could only withdraw their troops in despair and make peace with them.”

Xiao Xingyun was very tall. He bent down and listened to her. Judging from his expression, he listened very seriously.

Shen Yuan had never seen Xiao Xingyun like this before. He had always looked at her condescendingly and glanced at her vaguely, as if her words had upset him. She didn't even dare to say too much, but today, he He actually bent down to look at her levelly... Maybe because it involved the key issue of defeating the Hun cavalry, he finally got interested?

He lowered his eyes and said, "You're right. This is the second shortcoming I'm going to talk about next. The Huns' team combat level is not high and they don't have strict military discipline and tactics."

Shen Yuan roughly understood what he was thinking: "So in addition to the need

If you want a superb cavalry, you also need an elite infantry with strong coordination ability? "

Xiao Xingyun raised his eyes and looked at her, "Not bad."

Ye Jin listened to the two of them talking to each other, and they actually talked back and forth.

When did Shen Yuan become so powerful that he could keep up with his master's thoughts? Not only did she keep up, but she also spoke clearly and clearly, as if she understood it very well!

The wasteland has long been filled with soldiers. They are all very nervous. They have trained hard for today's gladiatorial battle. No one wants to be transferred to work as a labor soldier. Not only do they not eat as well as regular soldiers, but they also have to do more work every day. Quite a few, and they will never get ahead.

As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. Everyone sees Xiao Xingyun's ability. Who wouldn't want to make great achievements with such a calm and strategizing coach?

Shen Yuan suddenly took a few steps back, knelt on one knee, clenched his fists in a salute, and spoke in a clear and powerful voice.

"Master Xiao, I can lead a cavalry team."

Hearing this, everyone around him took a breath.

Shen Yuan is not only a woman, but also a woman with slave status. How dare she ask herself to lead an army?

"Master Xiao, you must have seen my riding and shooting abilities during the paddock hunting. I don't think anyone here can beat me in horse racing," Shen Yuan said calmly.

Xiao Xingyun chuckled, "But you don't know how to use a sword."

Cavalry doesn't just use arrows.

Shen Yuan thought for a while and said, "It doesn't matter, I can learn."

Xiao Xingyun said calmly: "I'll give you ten days."

Ten days, what day will it be in ten days? Shen Yuan knows very well in her heart that it is the day when Saman comes to Taoxian County to offer sacrifices in the middle of the month.

Shen Yuan did not flinch: "Okay."

gladiatorial wasteland

There is only half a dilapidated boulder. It was originally a long city wall, but it has been exposed to the wind and sun for many years and has no one to take care of it. It has become a ruined wall. The dust is deep on it. It can be seen that one after another happened here. battle.

And an extremely cruel selection battle will also begin here.

Feng Chime's words came true, and out of six or seven thousand soldiers, only 90 were selected.

After the wrestling, the excitement at dusk disappeared in the wasteland, and the slightly white sky shed a dark and strange light.

Ye Jin was responsible for taking the new recruits to the back mountain for reorganization, while Feng Ling was responsible for assigning tasks to train the new recruits to the guards.

Shen Yuan walked in front, and Xiao Xingyun followed her.

Although it is a wasteland, there are newly planted flower seedlings everywhere. They grow soft and tender, stealing the spotlight from the wild flowers and grasses.

Xiao Xingyun walked extremely slowly, following her pace, enjoying the short-term comfort and tranquility in his world.

He watched her jump forward a few steps.

He watched her randomly pick a small light red wild flower.

He watched her steps gradually become lighter, her hands behind her back.

The little wild flower swayed gently on her lower back.

It looks lazy and elegant, as much a wild flower as it is a human being.

Xiao Xingyun stopped. He stood there, his eyes following her swaying figure.

Shen Yuan also stopped.

"It's not easy to learn a long sword in ten days," she turned around and smiled, "Can you teach me?"

The cool evening breeze blows slowly, making people feel relaxed and happy.

She seemed to be in a good mood. She walked closer to him step by step. As she walked, she said: "I have thought about it. When it comes to using the long sword the best, there is no one here except the third young master. If you want to do it in such a short time, To master a weapon within a certain period of time, you must follow

Learn from the best master! "

He looked at the little wild flower that smiled brightly at him, and also smiled, "Okay."
