The first thousand four hundred and sixty-seven chapters
Chapter 1,467 Three Strategies of Heaven, Earth and Man
Zhang Ren was indeed stunned for a moment.
After all, at the beginning, who would have realized what the relationship between the cut arrow and the target was?
However, Zhang Ren soon thought of a very exaggerated possibility.
He turned his head and looked at Ma Dai with a blank expression, as if he wanted to find some clues from Ma Dai's expression.
On the other hand, Qiao Shan hesitated for a long time and was speechless, so there was no need to count on him.
With a skeptical attitude, Zhang Ren pointed to the severed arrow in Qiao Shan's hand and tentatively asked Ma Dai:
"It means...you shot these two arrows?"
"General Zhang, you clearly already have the answer in your mind, why do you need to ask me again?
I think with your ability, you shouldn’t have noticed it at the time, right?”
Zhang Ren was dumbfounded. Ma Dai's words were an admission of what he had suspected.
But who would believe this?
While he was desperately trying to control his body and try his best to hit the target, Ma Dai, who was on the opposite side of him, was in almost the same situation and had to shoot two arrows every time he drew his bow.
The key point is that looking at the section of the broken arrow shaft, the smoothness of the section has revealed a terrible fact - Ma Dai not only fired two shots at a time, but also used the back arrow to penetrate the body of the front arrow.
Instead of the front arrow hitting the bullseye.
this--
"A chain of arrows..."
Thinking of this, Zhang Ren finally blurted out a peak skill that was almost out of reach for their archers.
That's the chain of arrows.
It is a superb archery skill that can only be achieved in legends... In fact, if you want to recreate it in reality and just imitate its shape, it is not impossible.
For example, when Zhang Ren sharpened his archery skills when he was young, he often had the opportunity to try out these exaggerated archery skills. After all, if we just talk about the technique of continuous arrows, its principle is not difficult.
It's just that every time you draw out an arrow, you draw two more arrows, and before shooting, the other swordsmen hold them between their fingers. After shooting the first arrow, they immediately switch to the second arrow and continue shooting, and so on... as long as one
A famous swordsman is very skilled, so it's not like he can't do such a thing.
But it's one thing to be able to shoot a chain of arrows, but if you want the back arrow to chase the front arrow like Ma Dai, you can't help but hit the same target point continuously, and the subsequent arrows have to penetrate the shaft of the front arrow... This kind of terrifying accuracy
Zhang Ren didn't even dare to think about it.
It was only after seeing it with his own eyes today that he became dubiously aware of this possibility.
But when the facts were really put in front of him, he couldn't accept it anymore.
Ma Dai said that with his ability, it was not difficult to detect it during riding and shooting...but he really didn't notice it.
This is where Zhang Ren feels horrified.
At the same time, he was shooting normally, and this was even his best condition in the past few years.
But not only did the opponent not lag behind in terms of speed, he also used the skill of connecting arrows... I didn't even notice the opponent's action of drawing out two arrows.
Suddenly, Zhang Ren felt discouraged. It turned out that what Ma Dai said just now may not mean that the winner could not be determined. It was because he knew that he had already won.
Yes, Zhang Ren was completely defeated, defeated by Ma Dai in an unimaginable way.
Qiao Shan's eyes at the side were full of sadness... Ma Dai's shooting of arrows was only realized by his subordinates reminding him just now.
As a subordinate of Zhang Ren, of course he had heard of this terrifying technique, but as an ordinary person, he would never believe that someone in this world could really do such a thing.
Seeing Zhang Ren turn from surprise to disappointment, Qiao Shan couldn't even think of how to comfort him.
Isn't that right? Faced with such an opponent who defeated him easily, no one can just laugh it off, right?
Although there is a saying: There are mountains beyond the mountains, and there is a sky beyond the sky.
But archery, which is Zhang Ren's proud skill, was defeated by the opponent like this, and the opponent was still so young... If it were Qiao Shan himself, he might not be able to live a good life in his next life.
However, Ma Dai did not add insult to injury.
Of course he remembered the previous bet with Zhang Ren, but this time, Ma Dai didn't come here just to undermine other people's confidence.
From the very beginning when he shot arrows at Zhang Ren's feathers, everything was just a plot they had arranged in advance.
As for the purpose...
Zhang Ren may not have imagined it until now. He thought he was recruiting Ma Dai, but he didn't expect Ma Dai to have received the order early and came to plant an inconspicuous seed in Zhang Ren's heart.
Perhaps their previous quarrel seemed a bit tense, but this was just something that Yi Xiaotian had analyzed with them long ago.
Yes, the general trend of the world today has greatly diverged from the historical trend in Yi Xiaotian's memory.
However, some things never change.
In recent years, Yi Xiaotian has often planned bigger strategies, not only for his initial goal of becoming richest in the world, but also to find a way out for the future of Youjian Villa as more and more people around him grow.
Therefore, in his spare time, in addition to developing some inventions that are still beyond the background of this era, the most important thing is to restore the information of those people who are very likely to influence the trend of the world today based on his own memory.
Needless to say, there are things like Sun Quan and Liu Bei that he has analyzed early. After deciding on the next two development areas of Youjian Villa last year, Yi Xiaotian has already started to make plans for Cai Zhaoji and others who are about to rush to Shu.
A well-detailed reference guide.
Yes...the so-called tips and tricks are just a type of strategy.
In the early years, Yi Xiaotian could easily sway the world with a piece of advice and a few words. That was because the direction of history had not yet deviated much.
As things become more and more unpredictable, in fact, with Yi Xiaotian's pragmatic character, it is absolutely impossible for him to make some irresponsible predictions.
Therefore, from the hands of Yi Xiaotian, three strategy books were born that had a profound impact on later generations - they were divided into three books of heaven, earth and people, named "Tian Lue", "Earth Lue", and "Human Lue"
.
However, because the aspects covered by these three books are too broad, the content they include is also unimaginably huge.
In just one year, Yi Xiaotian only completed a small chapter in "Human Strategy" - Shu.
But even these were enough to have a non-negligible impact on the various decisions made by Cai Zhaoji and others after entering Shu.
Pang Xi really thought that he had met Cai Zhaoji with a great opportunity given by God. While he was nervously cooperating with Cai Zhaoji, he was also curious about who the gentleman mentioned by Cai Zhaoji and others was.
But he didn't expect that this gentleman, whom he knew very little about, had written down all his personality and hobbies in the "Human Strategy" a year ago.
Cai Zhaoji and others, on the other hand, easily followed the details described in the book and firmly grasped Pang Xi.
Naturally, Zhang Ren is also in the same situation.
In the book, Yi Xiaotian gave quite fair evaluations to various generals in Shu.
And Zhang Ren and Yan Yan are the highest.
After Ma Dai learned about this, he volunteered to contact Zhang Ren. Even if he could not recruit him directly, he still wanted to have a good relationship with him.
It's just that when Ma Dai saw the description of Zhang Ren's character given by Yi Xiaotian, it was that he admired the strong but bullied the weak, so he thought, no matter what, let's kill this man's majesty first.
Poor Zhang Ren didn't even know that he had fallen into the opponent's trap, and now he was still holding the two broken swords in his hand, melancholy.
