Maybe the Sixth Prince is not as hopeless as she imagined?
Because of her good impression of Rong Di, Gong Yueyue also had a different feeling towards the sixth prince.
But that feeling was fleeting, and Gong Yueyue was quickly attracted by the next scene.
The five schools of the Northern Army on the high platform were all wearing scarlet uniforms and wearing military-level military crowns. Several people stood majestically beside the Sixth Prince and Rong Di, while Li Jun, the captain of Shesheng School, who was in the main position,
Take command of the overall situation and loudly announce the start of the competition.
The content of the competition was the same as that of the county trials that Gong Yueyue had seen in Xiping before. Naturally, the main focus was on shooting, and other techniques were also tested, such as riding, swords and spears, corner strikes, hand fighting, stone throwing, over-distance, etc. However, due to the
He was the invigilator of the fifth school of the Northern Army, and during the competition, more emphasis was placed on the riding and shooting skills of the warriors and athletes.
In fact, each of the five battalions of the Northern Army only had 700 soldiers, almost all of whom were cavalry. Therefore, the riding and archery skills were the main subject of the assessment. The archery test was especially based on the shooting of crossbows on horseback.
host.
On the south side of the school grounds, six groups of Pihou - archery targets painted with human figures have been erected. At the same time, every ten feet away from the Pihou, a Pifu for target reporting has also been erected, and on the fifth
At Shibuhou Road, there are six more horse-riding warriors to be selected, gearing up and getting ready.
As soon as Pu She, who was in charge of the assessment, said "Xing——", the competition officially began.
The warriors in the competition each try to shoot a bow or crossbow with one arrow, and the one who hits the target more often has a better chance of being selected.
Soon, the results of this group's competition came out. The two people all hit the bull's-eye, the two who missed the mark were one or two, and the two who missed the mark were three or four. Obviously, the two who hit the mark all won.
The two of them felt somewhat complacent and rode to the candidate area on the east side, waiting for the results of the next group.
When Wu Wei saw it, he became a little angry and whispered: "...what's the point of being proud of? It's just that the crossbow can draw one stone, so his mouth is grinning like that. If this crossbow can draw two stones, how can he still do it?"
How proud you are!" No wonder Wuwei said so, with Wuwei's current physical strength, he can fully draw a crossbow with a draw force of two stones.
"But Fourth Brother, don't look down on others. Even if you only have the strength of one stone, you have no support from your feet. You have to rely on your own legs to press against the horse's belly." Wu Zan commented pertinently.
"Well, it's not like using the stirrups to use all your strength." Wu Zhong also agreed.
As several people were talking, another person won on the school field, and there was another person in the candidate area.
Wuwei is a little impatient. If this momentum continues, won't the candidate area be filled up soon?
"Fifth brother, why don't we go over there right now and have a competition?" Wuwei said, picking up the reins and moving forward a few steps.
"Don't worry, fourth brother. At this moment, we are all knights who can pull one stone. When it's the turn of two stone, it won't be too late for us to end!" Wu Zan stopped Wu Wei with a deep voice.
Sure enough, after the one-stone knight's test shot, the two-stone contest began.
At this time, the candidate area on the east side was already filled with two rows of knights. When Wuwei saw him, he was afraid that he would lose the quota, so he rushed out first!
Wu Zhong and Wu Zan smiled and shook their heads, but they still calmly glanced at the formation.
With the help of camouflage stirrups, Wuwei was naturally victorious. The twelve arrows fired in the trial hit the Houqiu without exception. Wuwei looked back with a smile and looked at this side, then rode towards the candidates in the east.
district.
After the two-stone draw test was completed and Pu She announced loudly that the three-stone draw had begun, Wu Zhong and Wu Zan rode onto the field.
One stone is sixty kilograms, two stones are one hundred and twenty kilograms, and three stones are one hundred and eighty kilograms. At this moment, there are obviously a lot less knights trying to shoot the three-stone pull force on the school field. No, there are not many. Gong Yueyue counted silently, and there are only a few.
There are only a dozen or so people that can be counted.
There was no support from the stirrups under the feet, and it was all dependent on the physical strength of the test shooter. Gong Yueyue was sweating for the Wu Zan brothers just thinking about it.
You must know that there is only one pair of camouflage stirrups, and they are currently on Wuwei's feet. Even if you want to change them, you can't do it in full view of the public.
Gong Yueyue's worries were indeed not unnecessary. The first six of the dozen people only tried firing at the fifty-step Hou Road, and only two of them passed. Fortunately, Wu Zhong passed smoothly, and Gong Yueyue secretly relaxed.
tone.
When it was Wu Zan's turn, there were only five people left on the school field, and these five people all retreated to the Baibu Hou Road to test fire.
At this moment, the school grounds suddenly became quiet.
Just imagine, a crossbow with a draw force of 180 kilograms can be pulled with two arms. When the feet are on the ground, it is very difficult to pull the three-stone bow with just two arms! What's more, with the feet hanging in the air, there is no leverage, and the three-stone bow can be pulled by a pair of arms.
You can imagine how difficult it is to open the crossbow.
Otherwise, how could there be a difference between the Zhang Shi and Zhang Zhang?
It should be noted that one step is six feet, ten feet is one foot, and one hundred steps is sixty feet. Although the range of the three-stone crossbow can reach a hundred steps, it is only when both feet are on the ground. The current test shooting is on horseback.
, how can everyone around us not hold our breath?
Without absolute self-confidence and assurance, who can stand on the road a hundred steps away without fear of everyone's eyes?
But, even so, after three of the five arrows hit the target with all nine arrows, whether because of lack of strength or too much nervousness, the next three arrows missed the mark completely, and none of them hit the target.
At this time, there were only two people left in the field who hit Hou Qian with their arrows. One of them was Wu Langjun, Wu Zan!
Pick--
Gong Yueyue couldn't bear it any longer and shouted loudly.
At the same time, on the north side not far away from them, two sharp voices shouted loudly, and mixed with Gong Yueyue's voice to form an extremely powerful female trio!
The whole audience only waited for a moment of silence before they burst into thunderous applause!
Gong Yueyue secretly wiped away cold sweat!
Fortunately, it was not her fault after all, otherwise... the consequences would be disastrous.
Being discovered is a trivial matter, but the key is being discovered with a female voice, and the matter becomes big! But now, there are three female voices running through the whole scene, so there is no way to correct the blame.
The law does not blame everyone!
Even though the "people" are only three people.
While thinking to herself, Gong Yueyue looked in the direction where the two female voices came from.
This glance didn't matter, but it happened to meet two surprised eyes!
One pair of eyes was very familiar to Gong Yueyue. They were the bright blue eyes of an exotic woman she had just met not long ago, Wu Jiaohong, Princess of Wusun.
The reason why Gong Yueyue was deeply impressed by Wu Jiaohong was not only that Wu Jiaohong had a pair of faint blue eyes that were different from those of the Han Dynasty, but more importantly, Wu Jiaohong fell in love with Wuwei at first sight, so she went out of her way to do so.
Propose a marriage to the dancing queen.
Obviously, Wu Jiaohong also recognized Gong Yueyue at a glance, because at this moment, Wu Jiaohong was dragging the woman disguised as a man who was shouting with her, and the two of them rode towards Gong Yueyue.
When they were approaching, Wu Jiaohong put her head in and said quietly: "Sister Gong Yueyue, are you here too? How about it, look at my outfit today, am I able to fool around with it? Isn't it so sudden that you can't tell?"
Wu Jiaohong asked a series of questions without any intention of asking Gong Yueyue to answer. She proudly admired her own outfit, and then she remembered to introduce Gong Yueyue and the fellow woman. (To be continued)
