Chapter 1234
"Whoosh!"
"Bang~"
"Whoosh!"
"Bang bang~"
The weather today is surprisingly good, cloudless, and with a little breeze blowing on me, it is very comfortable and comfortable.
In the martial arts arena of Luoyun City, several military generals left behind were taking turns bending their bows and shooting arrows with great interest, and each sharp arrow shot steadily on the target.
The arrow is embedded into the wooden target, and the black arrow tail is still swinging at high speed, releasing the remaining power.
"good!"
"Good archery skills!"
“Come again, come again!”
From time to time, there were cheers and cheers all around.
Taking a closer look, Chen Yue, Xin Ji, Yue Zhanpeng, and Xue Leihan were watching on the sidelines, while Yelu Baoji was mingling with the generals with his hands folded, sometimes pointing and whispering.
Those taking turns raising their bows on the shooting range were Yun Chen, Di Jiang and several deputy commanders of the Liao Army.
In a few days, the Zhenliao Army will withdraw from the interior. Today, several military generals came to the shooting range on a whim, preparing to compete in archery. They just pretended to have nothing to do and found something to pass the time.

At the beginning, it was an internal competition within the Liao Army, with the three deputy commanders fighting back and forth;
Later, Yun Chen and Di Jiang, two local generals from Luoyun City, couldn't bear their temper and ended up;
In the end, even Yao Qingzhu, who was pregnant, joined the fight.
At first, Yun Chen refused to let Yao Qingzhu die, for fear of hurting his body. How could a woman still wield a sword when she was pregnant?
But Yao Qingzhu raised his bow and said "swish, swish, swish~", and all three arrows hit the target, which made Yun Chen shut his mouth.
The people in the field were now divided into two waves. One group consisted of the three local generals from Luoyun City, and the other group included the three deputy commanders of the Suppressing Liao Army: Lu Feng, Yu Yixian, and Bi Hu.
"Whoosh!"
"Hey~ Eight rings? General Lu is good at archery, look at me! At least nine rings!"
"You come, you come!"
"Hey, that's not possible either. It's just the seventh ring. I need to practice more~"
…
Once the chat box was opened, the generals could not close it. While shooting arrows, they did not forget to shout a few words to each other. It was very lively.
Fortunately, the Modao Army had all withdrawn in the past two days, otherwise the scene would have been even more lively.
Ten circles are drawn on the archery target, arranged in sequence around the target. The circles closer to the inside are smaller and the number of rings is higher.
This is an idea that Xin Ji came up with. It can distinguish the level of each person's archery skills, and is better evaluated than a smooth archery target.
This just aroused the competitive mentality of these generals, and Chen Yue, Xin Ji and others were naturally happy to watch the excitement.
Yue Zhanpeng waved his fist and shouted: "Lao Lu, why don't you get ten rings? Work harder!"
Lao Ben! Your arrow is a little crooked!
…”
Obviously, the coach of Zhenliao Army is much more excited than others. Who allows his three right-hand men to be on the court?
If it weren't for his own identity, Yue Zhanpeng would have wished he could have taken the arrow himself.
"Tsk tsk~"
Chen Yue commented enthusiastically on the side:
"Although Qingzhu is a woman, the way she bends the bow and shoots arrows is not inferior to that of a man~
Look at this arm strength, he is a first-class expert in the crossbow camp."
"Haha, all the women in Liaodong are like this!" Xin Ji smiled proudly.
Xue Leihan interjected from the side:
"In terms of archery, I think General Lu and General Ben are better, but Mrs. Yun over there can compete with the two of them."
"Oh, I didn't expect your eyesight to be quite accurate. Do you want to come on and give it a try?" Chen Yue said with a smile.
Lu Feng was one of the first veterans of Shanzi Camp. He was the best among this group of people in terms of military qualifications and battlefield experience, and his archery skills were naturally the best.
As for Bihu, he was a member of Prince Liang's bodyguard. The selection requirements for Baima Yicong were very high. In addition to loyalty, he also had to be proficient in archery, equestrian skills, and martial arts. All of them were indispensable.
As the leader of the White Horse Yi Cong, Ben Hu naturally had all these things at his fingertips.
In comparison, the others all came from wild backgrounds and practiced on their own, so their archery skills would be slightly weaker.
When Xue Leihan heard that he was asked to play, he shook his head repeatedly: "Pull it down, I can't pull that bow at all."
Xue Leihan was able to swing his sword while riding on horseback, but he couldn't handle pulling such a powerful and heavy bow.
Chenyue immediately turned his attention to Yelu Baoji on the other side. Yelu Baoji was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"I can't do it, even Master Xue can't do it, let alone me."
"Hahaha~"
Several people laughed out loud.
Just when the winner was about to be decided in the field, Xu Luo walked quietly behind Chen Yue, bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, Lieutenant Wu wants to see you."
Several people turned their heads at the same time, Chen Yue's lips curled up: "He's finally back, let him come over~"
Wu Xiake and the others have been away for five or six days, and they don't know if they can bring back any good news.
Soon, Wu Xiake, who was wearing light armor and didn't even have time to change his clothes, walked into the field, cupped his fists and shouted softly:
"Your Majesty! The crossbowmen were ordered to investigate the enemy's situation, and they have all returned to the city! I am here to return the order!"
"Okay, let's talk about the situation~" Chen Yue waved his hand casually.
Wu Xiake said in a deep voice: "My subordinates sneaked into the enemy camp and carefully investigated. Although there were many military tents in the canyon, there were not many troops stationed there. According to my rough calculation, the Yan army numbered at most three thousand.
Within twenty or thirty miles of Tagua Canyon, there was no trace of the Yan army’s cavalry, not even the patrolling scouts.”
"Sure enough, there are no heavy troops stationed." Chen Yue smiled slightly.
He had previously judged that Yan soldiers would not station heavy troops in the canyon, because this was just to win over some bandits and bandits, and it was not worthy of their fanfare.
If the Yan army really had the strength to garrison a heavy army, wouldn't it be great to attack Yunjin's defense line themselves?
"There are not even patrolling sentries, so the Yan army is not very vigilant~" Xin Ji curled his lips next to him.
"The war has just ended, and the Yan army has retreated to the interior to rest. If it weren't for the lack of troops, they wouldn't have recruited some rabble to come out to cause trouble." Yelu Baoji said with a chuckle.
"Ahem~"
Wu Xiake scratched his head and said: "Your Majesty, in addition to some common grain, grass and weapons, there is also a lot of gold, silver and silk in the canyon, estimated to be tens of thousands of taels."
"Oh, do you still have some money?"
Chen Yue's eyes lit up, he waved his big hand and said: "Map!"
The cold king's eyes immediately burst out with greedy eyes.
Soon several soldiers brought a map. Chenyue crossed his hands with a smile and appeared in front of the map.
Obviously, the sudden appearance of real money and silver aroused Chenyue's interest.
If you don't make money, wouldn't you be a fool?
"Is there a war?"
"I'm going, I'm going!"
The generals who were competing in archery also came around and shouted loudly.
The Liao Suppressing Army will soon retreat to the interior, and there may not be another war within a year or two, so this battle will be fought one battle at a time.
Who doesn’t want to go out again before withdrawing the troops? Cut off the heads of a few more barbarians?
