Guangling, Beifu Army Camp, Archery Range.
Tan Pingzhi's right shoulder was wrapped with a thick bandage and a walking stick was stationed there. He stood behind more than a dozen bare-chested archers and said in a deep voice: "Remember, the opposite side is not a target, but your enemy.
The guy who wants your life, you can only live if you kill him. Ordinary sergeants require seventy steps to shoot arrows, but we are the Beifu army and must be stronger than them. Therefore, at a distance of one hundred steps, listen to my command and raise the arrow.
Bow, arrow."
These recruits, who were about twenty years old and had not yet grown their beards, all held their breath, raised their bows and loaded arrows, and under Tan Pingzhi's command, they pulled them into the shape of a full moon. Their eyes against the bow strings were slightly narrowed, and
The other open eye was staring at the archery target on the opposite side. Then, he suddenly let go, and the arrow flew away like a shooting star. There was only a "pop" sound, and the arrow hit the red heart.
, but at the archery target on the far left, the archer fired two arrows in succession. The first arrow hit the target, and the second arrow shot directly from the tail of the first arrow, splitting the first arrow into two.
Half, and then hit the bullseye. As soon as the arrow came out, there was a burst of cheers from the surroundings, and the archer was also very proud, standing there, as if he was a general who defeated the enemy on the battlefield, accepting the cheers.
Tan Pingzhi frowned, looked at the expert archer on the first target on his left, and said coldly: "Xu Chite, do you think your archery skills are very powerful?"
This young man named Xu Chite is more than eight feet long, with dark skin and muscles like iron tower blocks. His arms are almost as thick as Tan Pingzhi. Obviously, he is a strongman who has been training for many years.
Xu Xianzhi's nephew liked guns and sticks since he was a child. Although his family moved to Shangyu, he never relaxed for a day to practice kung fu. Later, when Xu Xianzhi returned to the court to become an official, he also accompanied him as his nephew. When the Beifu Army recruited new recruits, he joined
, today is the archery drill for new recruits, which just gives him a chance to show off his skills.
Xu Chite made a military salute, but couldn't hide the pride in his eyes: "I don't dare to compare my archery skills with Brother Shenjian Bottle, but I am studying and practicing hard at home. If I go to the battlefield, I will definitely
It will disgrace the reputation of the Beifu Army."
Tan Pingzhi shook his head: "You don't know what a battlefield is. Today, our school (Tan Pingzhi was the commander of the army at the time and did not reach the status of a general, he could only be called a captain, so he calls himself our school) will let you see what talent is."
It’s a real battlefield.”
As he spoke, he picked up a big bow, held a quiver, threw away his walking stick, and limped to the side of the target. He stood next to the target, looked at Xu Chite, and said loudly
: "Now, I am your enemy, and this target is the enemy general you want to shoot at. Don't you want to disgrace the reputation of the Beifu Army? Then let me see your archery skills and shoot me!"
Xu Chite's expression changed, and he forced out a smile: "Brother Bottle, stop joking, this, these recruits are going through the assessment, how, how can they shoot a living person directly?!"
Liu Yu's voice sounded coldly behind him: "Back then, Brother Pingling and I had finished the recruit military training. During the final assessment, this was how we shot. General Sun Wuzhong was our general back then. He was like Brother Pingping.
Now, stand next to the target and let us shoot one by one. Xu Chite, since you said you will not dishonor the name of Beifu, then do it for us."
There was a commotion in the surrounding crowd, and everyone shouted in surprise and joy: "Brother Jinu, Brother Jinu!" Looking at Liu Yu's eyes, it was like those star-chasing fans looking at idol superstars.
.If it were not for the dozen nephews of Tan Pingzhi who were serving as side guards and strictly guarded their posts, I am afraid that many people would have flocked to surround Liu Yu. Even if they smelled the sweat on his body, they would have gone back and blew it for a long time.
Liu Yu smiled and waved his hand: "Hello, gentlemen, today Liu Yu went back to the Beifu Army for business, and he happened to come over to discuss something with Lord Tan. Xu Chite, your uncle and I have been good brothers since childhood. He asked
You also asked me to take more care of you when you entered Beifu. I am not in Beifu now, but since you saw it today, you can show me how well you have practiced your skills now."
Xu Chite gritted his teeth: "Brother Jinu, our training is to only shoot targets and not people. Please, please tell Army Master Tan to follow the rules."
Liu Yu shook his head: "Sergeant Xu Chite, you have made two mistakes with this sentence. First, Commander Tan is your general and superior. You can only accept his orders. You must not use others to pressure you."
Your superior, if there is a problem with his order, you can appeal through regular military law channels. Don't say that I am not in Beifu now. If I were in Beifu, just based on your words, you should be dealt with by military law."
Xu Chite's face turned red and he said: "You should be punished if you make a mistake!"
Liu Yu sighed: "Secondly, there is no problem with Commander Tan's order. You are the Beifu Army. You go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. There are no immovable targets for you to shoot at. All our training is for fighting."
Prepare, when we finished training, this was how we were tested. It was even more stringent than you. There were people standing on both sides of the target, and the distance was 150 steps. The target was three rounds smaller than what you shoot now. In the end, except for Liu
Mu Zhiliu joined the army, and everyone passed."
There was a burst of laughter from the crowd. The big fat man who was panting while walking and always holding a skewer or a chicken leg in his hand had become the target of ridicule among the army. The originally tense atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Tan Pingzhi said loudly: "Okay, okay, everyone, be serious. I'm training. Thank you for coming to see me, Jinu. We'll drink again later, but for now, please don't disturb my training."
Liu Yu nodded and walked aside. Xu Chite knew that there was no way to avoid it today. He raised his bow and arrow and aimed at the target in the distance. However, the hand that was not steady and unusual just now was gently moving.
The ground was shaking. After all, a hundred paces away, standing next to an archery target that was more than a foot square, was a living person. Even if it was tilted half an inch, it might hurt the opponent. This kind of psychological pressure was not something that ordinary recruits could bear. He
Growing up, I had shot at archery targets and rabbits, but never at people. At this juncture, I felt a little panicked.
Tan Pingzhi's eyes flashed coldly: "Xu Chite, did you not eat in the morning or were you waiting for the wind to stop? Don't you know that at this time, the enemy would have already shot you with arrows? On the battlefield, blink of an eye
Your hesitation will cost you your life! Now in front of you, there are only the enemy general and the enemy general's bodyguard. It is me, this bodyguard, who will take your life now!"
