After hearing this, Wang Xun did not dare to delay and trotted after Ma Fang. The others ran to the place where the school's shooting skills were tested. He also heard intermittently from Ma Fang about Yu Wenzhi's encounter with his opponent in the competition.
A rough idea.
It turns out that there are many children from good families who came to participate in the competition today, including some affiliates of big families. Although these people do not have the right to inherit the title, they are usually trained as elites by the family, so they have an advantage as soon as they come out.
Yu Wenzhi's skill in boxing and kicking equipment was very average. When he saw a few familiar faces in the field, he knew that he would not be able to succeed in these two competitions. So he dealt with it randomly for a few rounds and managed to get through to an above-average level.
After the evaluation, he voluntarily withdrew from the competition for the top two candidates.
The equestrian competition will be moved to a farther wilderness tomorrow, so he will focus on the archery range today. Unexpectedly, there will be many more experts in the archery range today. The first five rounds of competition are over, and the archery target has also changed from five to five.
After moving from ten steps to ninety steps, there were still five people whose arrows were still sticking to the red heart.
"Then Zida may not lose?" Wang Xun heard anxiously and added with a frown.
"See for yourself, it's about to take a hundred steps and three arrows to shoot!" Ma Fang glared at him angrily, his eyes fixed on the competition venue. Wang Xun smiled and followed Ma Fang's gaze to look up.
Go, I saw that most of the candidates in the field have withdrawn from the competition. Now, except for Yu Wenzhi, who is slowly adjusting their bow arms in front of the target, there is only a tall and thin man, a yellow face, a sturdy man and a handsome man.
Among them, the beautiful young man was the most nervous. There were beads of sweat on his forehead and the tip of his nose. His fingers kept wiping on the bow string. It was obvious that he had lost momentum before the start.
The remaining three unfamiliar faces all seemed to be masters of archery. They had elegant manners and relaxed expressions. They seemed not to care about the distance of a hundred steps. Especially the tall and thin man, who did not look in the direction of the target at all.
Occasionally, I lightly put my fingers on the bow string, and my temperament immediately changed, and I faintly smelled like a veteran of many battles.
"I'm afraid that thin man is a strong enemy. Zida can't compare with him no matter what!" It has to be said that in these few days of military life, Wang Xun still gained a lot. At least this ability to observe things was something he couldn't do no matter what.
After hearing his comment, Ma Fang stamped his feet anxiously, "He was the one I was worried about just now. In the previous rounds of competition, his archery speed was at least twice as fast as others. But he didn't miss an arrow!"
"If you don't get the first place, the top three will probably attract people's attention!" Wang Xun thought for a while, but couldn't find a reason why Yu Wenzhi could take the first place, so he had to settle for the second best, "General Gao Da,
I mean Gao Lishi, is he here? I was at the main entrance and I saw his car an hour ago. Did you notice where he went?"
"It's right in the stands. The one with the drumstick in his hand is the one!" Ma raised his chin toward the stands and responded in a low voice.
Wang Xun turned around when he heard this, and sure enough, he found a tall, white-faced, beardless old man among the people in the stands. He was holding a huge drumstick in his hand, and he looked very interested. Feng Changqing, Zhou Xiaofeng, and a
A bunch of generals he couldn't name were surrounding this person like stars holding the moon. They were afraid that the matter would not be taken care of and would disturb this person's mind.
"Let's begin!" Gao Lishi smiled and raised his drumstick high, looking a little unfazed by the honor and disgrace.
"Boom, boom, boom!" As he waved his arms, the cowhide drum began to blast rhythmically. Everyone present immediately held their breath and turned their eyes to the shooter. The remaining five shooters raised their hands at the same time.
He picked up the bow, pulled the string to his ear, loosened his fingers, and the arrows left the string. Immediately afterwards, the target in the distance made a loud "bang" sound, and five arrows were inserted into it.
Before the cheers could be heard, the drums suddenly became louder, and the five archers once again drew their bowstrings full and aimed at the target. The white feathers flew out like meteors, and the eagle feathers dangled randomly on the target. The cheers started, accompanied by the excitement.
The sound of drums makes people's blood boil.
The so-called rapid shooting requires that after one drum beat, the archer must send out all three arrows. The number of arrows at the bull's-eye is the winner. Gao Lishi is proficient in music, and the drums are beating up and down. In the blink of an eye, the melody is already halfway through.
, the rhythm took a turn from the highest pitch and slowly slowed down.
For everyone in the field, the soothing rhythm at this moment was more thrilling than before. Some people could no longer hold back and stamped their feet vigorously to remind the shooters to pay attention to the passage of time. The beautiful young man was the first to lose his composure, and before the arrow could fly,
After stopping on the bow arm, he released his fingers. The eagle feather flew a hundred steps with a "whoosh!" and hit the target, but it was far away from the red heart.
"Alas!" A low sigh came from the audience. They were very sorry for the poor performance of the beautiful boy. Most people had no time to sympathize with the loser, and their eyes were fixed on the remaining four bows. The burly man and the yellow-faced boy
He also slowly adjusted it to the right position and shot the third feathered arrow. One person hit the target, and the other missed it by half an inch. It was obviously due to too much pressure.
According to this situation, as long as Yu Wenzhi's last arrow can land within the red heart, he can be ranked third. Wang Xun's heart immediately surged with ecstasy. Looking at Ma Fang, he was already waving his fist and jumping up. At this moment,
, Yu Wenzhi in the field did not dare to be distracted and look at other people's results. He put the arrow on the bow arm and continued to adjust, adjust and adjust again. The tall and thin man saw that there was another person who was leading the bow without firing, so he also pulled the bow string without letting go.
.It’s like competing with Yu Wenzhi to see who can lose his composure first.
"Dong dong, dong dong, dong dong dong!" The drum beat became slower and slower, and suddenly a green onion was plucked from the dry land and floated high. Then it was knocked twice quickly, and it turned into a thunder and stopped suddenly.
"Boom!" At the same time as the last drum sounded, Yu Wenzhi and the tall and thin man loosened their bow strings at the same time. The two arrows flew side by side, going hand in hand, passing through the silent school field, and landed with a "pop" sound.
In the center of the red heart.
"Okay -" the cheers rang out like thunder, and both the new recruits and veterans, as well as the children from good families who came to take the examination, all clapped their hands like red irons.
After a while, the cheers slowly subsided at Feng Changqing's signal. Zhou Xiaofeng personally led several veterans of the Anxi Army to the target and loudly announced the final results of the five people. "Target No. 1,
All three arrows hit the bullseye!" "Target No. 2, two arrows hit the red heart, and one arrow missed by half an inch!" "Target No. 3, all three arrows hit the bullseye." "Target No. 4, two arrows hit the red heart, and one arrow missed the target by half an inch!
Missed by four and a half inches!" "Target No. 5 -" Zhou Xiaofeng suddenly paused, then shouted at the top of his voice, "Target No. 5, all three arrows hit the red heart. Each one occupies a corner of the red heart, and the finished product is arranged in a glyph!"
"Ah!" Everyone in the field was stunned. For a moment, the sunlight seemed to have stopped. After a few breaths, there was a burst of cheers, slowly rising like ocean waves, from low to high, to high.
, no matter how high, no matter how high, it roars across the wilderness.
"OK--"
"good--"
Listening to the roar of cheers from the stands, Feng Changqing and Gao Lishi looked at each other, and both saw a touch of unconcealable joy in each other's eyes. This idea was to select the children of good families to join the Feilong Guards through a public competition.
It was jointly proposed by the two of them and approved by His Majesty the Emperor. If the results of the selection are not satisfactory, it means that the two of them acted recklessly and wasted a lot of manpower and material resources, but failed to find any talents for the country. And the current situation is obviously
It has exceeded the two's expectations. The children of good families in Chang'an City are not all trash waiting to die. Some of them are talented, but they have not had the opportunity to be in the spotlight before. (Note 1)
"Bring up all three targets!" Feng Changqing nodded and ordered to the soldiers on the left and right.
Someone immediately understood his intention, trotted to the shooting range, and carried three targets with feathered arrows on them. "Yuan Yigong, look!" Feng Changqing took the arrow targets with his own hands, lined them up one by one, and invited Gao Gao
Lux Common Review.
Gao Lishi's real name was Feng Yuanyi, and he was the son of Feng Junheng, the governor of Panzhou. Because his family was implicated in the robbery, he was castrated as an eunuch. After entering the palace, he was bullied by other eunuchs because of his young age. Until he was adopted by the middleman Gao Yanfu as his adopted son, and his situation
He changed his mind greatly. In order to repay his adoptive father's teachings, he changed his name to Gao Lishi. Even after he became famous, he never took advantage of the emperor's trust to return to his sect. But deep down in his heart, he never forgot his original surname.
At this moment, Feng Changqing called him Yuan Yigong, which not only expressed enough respect, but also showed intimacy beyond respect. Gao Lishi was very pleased, and after thinking about it for a moment, he said politely in a low voice: "Let's ask General Feng to judge.
, after all, you have been on the battlefield. Although our family also likes to play with bows and horses, it is just for fun!"
"You are so polite, Mr. Yuan Yigong. Who doesn't know that you, the old man, were known as the "little foster uncle" back then?" Feng Changqing showed great respect for the confidant of His Majesty the Emperor in front of him, waved his hand, and extended the invitation again.
"Please give me some advice, General!" Zhou Xiaofeng was very good at figuring out the thoughts of his superiors. He clasped his fists and spoke loudly for Feng Changqing.
"General, please give me some advice!" Several other senior generals also begged in unison.
Unable to reject the hospitality, Gao Lishi pondered for a moment and nodded with a smile. "This will make our family look ugly!" After that, he walked back and forth around the three archery targets, raised one of them, and said with a smile, "
This person ranks third in archery skills. Although he is more accurate, he lacks strength. On the battlefield, even if he hits the opponent, it is difficult to penetrate the armor. It is a waste of arrows. However, if you are willing to train more on your physical strength,
If so, it’s a rare piece of jade!”
Note 1: If the cone is in the middle, it will stand out.
