Chapter 8: Learning to Ride a Horse

Yu Fanjun didn't notice that Xiang Ye was afraid of riding a horse. He turned over and jumped off the horse. Regardless of Xiang Ye's will or not, he pinched his waist with both hands, shouted and whipped him onto the horse's back, shouting: "Yes."

If you don't want to ride a horse but have to walk, you must be really stupid!"

Xiang Ye fell onto the horse's back unpreparedly, without even reacting to grab the reins. The horse suddenly felt heavy and spread its hooves and ran forward.

When Yu Fanjun saw the war horse galloping forward with Xiang Ye on his back, he put his hands on his hips and laughed, but he only laughed a few times, and the expression on his face changed from laughter to shock.

The war horse humped Xiang Ye and galloped. The panicked Xiang Ye did not pull the reins but tightly held the mane on the horse's neck. Every time the war horse took a step forward, his body would bump on the horse's back.

As he went up a bump, his body gradually tilted a lot in one direction, and the palms holding the mane were sweating, making the mane in his hand feel more and more slippery.

The war horse seemed to be deliberately bullying Xiang Ye because he couldn't ride a horse. The harder he lost his balance, the more joyfully it jumped. After rushing forward for more than a hundred steps, Xiang Ye was finally thrown off by it.

, and his butt fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Seeing Xiang Ye fall to the ground, Yu Fanjun quickly ran forward to help him up, and asked with concern: "Brother, brother, how are you?"

After Xiang Ye got up with a grin on his face, Yu Fanjun saw that he was fine, grinned and said: "Brother, if you had told me if you didn't know how to ride a horse, I wouldn't have thrown you on the horse if you had told me earlier.

Fortunately, you fell on your butt. If you fell on your stomach, it would be fine if you broke other places. What if I break something important? How should I explain it to my siblings in the future?"

Xiang Ye gave Yu Fan Jun a white look with black lines on his head, gritted his teeth and said: "General Yu, don't make fun of me. I really don't know how to ride a horse, but I still have to ride today, and I have to ride."

This horse of yours!”

"Hey, okay!" Yu Fanjun didn't stop him. He loosened his hands, put two fingers into his mouth and whistled. When the war horse heard the whistle, it let out a long hiss and ran towards him.

Came over.

"Go!" After the war horse ran over, Yu Fanjun patted Xiang Ye on the back and said to him with a playful smile on his face.

Xiang Ye looked at the war horse that had just lifted him off its back. The horse was not tall. If measured in meters, it should be between 1.3 and 1.4 meters. At first glance, it did not look like a horse.

On the contrary, he looks a bit like a donkey.

Looking at this short war horse, Xiang Ye couldn't help but feel a little funny. A horse like this could actually throw him to the ground, and his buttocks were so smashed that it was about to split. He really couldn't imagine what it would be like to be on the grassland before.

What would it be like if you fell off while riding a horse?

"Brother, don't be afraid, hold on to the horse's reins tightly, go from slow to fast!" Yu Fanjun saw Xiang Ye looking at the horse but not riding on it, knowing that he was a little scared, so he gave instructions from the side.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Ye didn't appreciate it at all. He raised his hand to tell him to stop talking and said to him: "I know how to ride. I dare to ride a horse taller than this, let alone such a long-looking horse."

What a pony like a donkey!"

Seeing that he was ungrateful, Yu Fanjun looked at him funny and stopped talking, thinking: "Just brag! The Qin army's standard for war horses is five feet and eight inches. My horse is three inches taller than theirs."

"Except for Xiang Yu's Wu Zui, where can you find a higher war horse?"

I thought so in my heart, but didn't say it out loud. I just stood aside and looked at Xiang Ye with a smile.

Xiang Ye pressed the horse's back, and the war horse took two steps to the side. He raised his feet but didn't know how to jump on the horse's back. He turned back to Yu Fanjun in depression and said: "General Yu,

Your horse doesn't even have stirrups, how can I get on it?"

"Stirrups?" Yu Fanjun looked at him in confusion and asked, "What is that? To get on the horse, you just have to press the horse's back and jump on. I have never heard of a stirrup."

"Uh!" Xiang Ye was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that it was still the end of Qin Dynasty, and stirrups had not been introduced to the Central Plains yet. He had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, put his hands on the horse's back, and jumped up.

Unexpectedly, this horse was also naughty. As soon as Xiang Ye jumped up, it took two steps forward, just in time for Xiang Ye, who was in mid-air, to fall to the ground next to its horse's tail.

After falling to the ground, Xiang Ye still kept his hands on the horse's back. He stared blankly at the flat ground in front of him, and felt a sharp pain in the bones of his buttocks. It would be a bit unexpected if he fell just now.

, but this time he fell so hard that he couldn't find any excuse to defend himself.

When the troops who had already stepped forward saw Xiang Ye's embarrassed appearance, both the officers and soldiers covered their stomachs and burst into laughter. This laughter was actually louder than the majestic slogans they used when they set off.

Xiang Ye patted his butt in frustration and got up, rolled his eyes at everyone, and shouted at them: "What are you laughing at? Why are you laughing? I've never seen anyone who can't ride a horse?"

It's a good thing he didn't shout, but his shout immediately caused another burst of laughter.

Yu Fanjun also held his stomach and laughed so hard that he could hardly breathe. After a long time, he suppressed his laughter and straightened up, waved his hands to the army behind him and said, "Okay, okay, don't laugh anymore, but

It was a fall, so hurry up and hurry up."

While he was talking, Xiang Ye could clearly see the strange expression on his face that was still suppressing a smile, and he suddenly felt even more depressed.

"Young man, I still don't believe I can't ride you!" As he spoke, Xiang Ye jumped towards the war horse again. This time he didn't hesitate at all. When he was about to run in front of the war horse, he quickly accelerated his speed and took a run-up.

He rushed in front of the horse, put his hands on the horse's back and jumped into the air.

He used all his strength in this jump, just like a vaulter competing on the field. He jumped with ease and grace. This jump shocked everyone present. Including Yu Fanjun, everyone

Everyone who saw this scene opened their mouths in shock and looked at him with admiration.

Perhaps because he was shocked by his powerful aura, the war horse actually did not move anymore, but stood there calmly, as if waiting for him to ride on the horse.

Xiang Ye's upper and lower bodies were bent at 45 degrees in mid-air, and his strong curves were clearly displayed against his flowing clothes and jeans tightly tied to his thighs.

"Pa!" With a crisp sound, he sat down heavily on the ground again. The war horse left behind him looked at Xiang Ye who was sitting on the ground, as if he was confused as to why this man didn't ride on its back.

Instead, it jumped over its back.

The army of thousands of people was silent. Everyone stopped and looked at Xiang Ye, who was still holding a vaulting position with his hands forward after landing. On the road where thousands of people gathered, it was so quiet that even people's breathing could be heard clearly.

Audible.

I don't know who suddenly burst into laughter, and then the laughter infected everyone present like a plague. There was a burst of laughter on the march. Xiang Ye's fall inadvertently brought life to the dull march. In the army,

On the way to Li County, his fall became a topic that many people talked about.

In the end, he still failed to learn to ride a horse. The horse seemed to have a grudge against him and never let him ride on its back.

After five consecutive butt-butt contact with the ground, Xiang Ye gave up. He had to look up to the sky and sigh: "I am really not destined to be able to ride a horse!"

"General! The Qin army has been spotted ahead!" When the team was still more than ten miles away from Li County, a cavalryman ran towards Yu Fanjun from the direction of Li County. The cavalryman came to Yu Fanjun and clasped his fists in front of him and said to him: "Zhang Han

Hearing that our army was coming, he personally led the army to fight out of the city, and now it is only five miles away from us!"

When Yu Fanjun heard that Zhang Han was coming in person, he quickly raised his head and looked into the distance. The sun was setting in the west, and the sunlight shone on the road, covering the scenery along the way with an orange-red coat. At the end of this orange-red

, the sky full of smoke and dust was billowing towards them.

"How many people are there in the Qin army?" Seeing the billowing smoke, Yu Fanjun quickly asked the cavalry who came to report.

The cavalryman pulled the reins of his horse and pointed in the direction of Li County, and said to Yu Fanjun: "Most of the Qin army's troops and horses are still staying in Li County. Zhang Han only led two to three thousand people to greet them."

Yu Fanjun turned around and looked at the thousands of soldiers and horses behind him and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Most of the Qin army's soldiers and horses were still in Lixian City, and only twenty or thirty thousand people came. It can be seen that this time the Qin army's number was not at all like theirs.

As long as a person can resist, there is no difference between forcing a fight and sending someone to death.

Although he knew that there was a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, Yu Fanjun had no choice. In the eyes of the Qin army, they were rebels. Once captured by the Qin army, there would be nothing but death waiting for them. All that was before him was

There are two ways, one is to fight to the death with Zhujishi and wait for Xiang Liang to come to rescue; the other is to escape with the people behind him, but the sky is so big and the earth is so big, where can they be accommodated?

"Soldiers!" Without any hesitation, Yu Fanjun turned his horse and shouted to the army behind him: "The Qin army is coming. They have more people than us. In this battle, we are trying to survive in a desperate situation. I believe that the general will

Send troops to rescue us. Behind us, there are 10,000 troops led by General Zhujishi. As long as we withstand the Qin army's attack, General Zhu will be able to respond from behind and annihilate the invading enemy in one fell swoop! You are confident of victory.

?"

Yu Fanjun's shouts shook the hearts of everyone present. Even Xiang Ye, who knew the outcome of the battle, couldn't help but have some hope for victory.

"Yes!" A shout that shook the world suddenly rang out. This shout echoed in the sky with the wind. Perhaps the Qin army rushing towards them could also clearly hear their determination before the battle.

"Crossbowmen! Get ready!" The Qin army was getting closer and closer. Yu Fanjun did not delay at all. Following his order, groups of officers and soldiers holding crossbows walked out of the queue and formed a square formation in front of the team.
