The story of a horse stepping on a swallow
Flying Swallows on Horses is a legendary story in ancient China culture, which tells the story of Bai Qi, a famous Qin national in the Warring States Period. According to legend, during the Warring States Period, Qin Jun, a general of the State of Qin, led by Bai Qi, fought everywhere and made outstanding achievements. On one occasion, he attacked Zhao and led an army to pursue him. On the way to the chase, a cliff suddenly appeared in front. The enemy has passed the Yanfei Gorge, but Qin Jun is in trouble because of this difficult terrain.
Tian Lei saw this situation and immediately ordered the soldiers to stop. He observed the dangerous terrain carefully. He found a small stone wall protruding from the canyon, shaped like a pedal. Tian Lei has a plan, waving his whip and prancing up. His Ma Chenggong stepped on the small stone wall and jumped over. He successfully crossed the Yanfeixia Valley. When the soldiers saw Leitian's brave behavior, they were all encouraged and encouraged. They imitated the jumping way of Leitian and successfully crossed one swallow gorge and valley after another.
