Soon, I saw Sun Xingba clamping his legs around the horse's belly and shouting at the same time: "Drive!"
The horses started quickly and started running along the horse track...
I have to admit that Sun Xingba's riding skills are really good. He controls his center of gravity very well and quickly becomes a man and horse.
Sun Xingba rode his horse past three arrow targets and shot three arrows at just the right time. All of them hit the target and none missed the target!
As a result, the crowd of onlookers burst into thunderous applause.
Duanmu Yuanwei finally smiled and praised softly: "Well, he is indeed the eldest grandson of General Sun. His riding skills are really good!"
Pu Junxiong next to him also clapped his hands and said: "It's really impressive. In terms of riding skills alone, I'm ashamed of myself..."
Even the facial expression of Hang Baiqiu, who had always been cold and frosty, changed.
While enjoying the admiring glances from everyone, Sun Xingba rode his horse back to Duanmu Yuanwei. Then he jumped off the horse as soon as he raised his legs, and then approached Duanmu Yuan with a "pop" sound.
We cupped our fists and saluted.
Duanmu Yuanwei smiled kindly: "All three arrows hit, not bad, not bad..."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir!" Sun Xing said domineeringly.
After saying that, Sun Xingba turned back to look at Chai Yan and said loudly: "It's your turn!"
Sun Xingba thought to himself, I want to see what the level of riding skills of a dwarf like you is.
Hang Baiqiu asked Chai Yan again: "Is there really no need to change horses?"
"No need..." Chai Yan shook his head gently, then showed a smile and said calmly: "Because, I want to abstain!"
"What did you say?" Hang Baiqiu didn't understand what he said, but thought he heard him wrong.
Chai Yan slowed down his speech and repeated loudly: "Sir Hang, I am abstaining from the vote. I will not take the riding and archery test. Let's take the next test quickly..."
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at each other, obviously they were not expecting it.
Sun Xingba's mouth was open, thinking what's going on with this guy. This is a very important test. If he says he doesn't want to take the test, he won't take it?
Pu Junxiong stepped forward and said: "Chai Yan, do you know what you are talking about?"
Chai Yan nodded and said: "Of course I know! I can't meet the standard anyway, so I might as well save more time and energy to cope with the next test, don't you think?"
Hang Baiqiu said: "What you said is correct, but if you give up even if you haven't tried it, isn't it too..."
"No need to try, I have always had one advantage, that is, I have self-awareness!" Chai Yan took advantage of her pause and answered.
Chai Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly, I can't even ride a horse, what are you asking me to try?
Sun Xingba suddenly understood, stepped forward and said loudly: "I think you don't know how to ride a horse at all!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately cast a surprised look at Chai Yan.
"Yes, I can't ride a horse!"
Seeing that he saw it, Chai Yan said calmly: "Silly man, if I had a grandfather who was a general, my riding skills might not be any worse than yours..."
Duanmu Yuanwei didn't want to get entangled in this matter. It was Chai Yan's freedom to take the test or not, so he confirmed loudly: "Chai Yan, do you really want to give up the riding and shooting test?"
"Yes!" Chai Yan replied with great certainty.
Duanmu Yuanwei didn't waste any time and immediately announced: "In that case, let's proceed to the next item immediately!"
The third minor term, long stack, is a long shot.
The assessment site for Long Duo is still on the shooting range, but the target is much further away. The target for shooting just now was 120 steps away, but now it is 180 steps away!
Converted, it's about 85 to 90 meters.
Long Duo also shoots three arrows, and those who hit one arrow will pass.
Fortunately, the long stack target is different from the ordinary target. The long stack target is wider and larger, just like two ordinary archery targets placed side by side, so as long as the skill is as normal, it should not be difficult to hit the target.
Chai Yan and Sun Xingba returned to the wooden table with the same bows as before, and the three remaining arrows.
Chai Yan saw that this was not a waste of time by walking back and forth. Why didn't he also take the long stack test after taking the foot arch test just now? There had to be a cavalry arch test in the middle...
Chai Yan didn't know that Duanmu Yuanwei had temporarily changed the order of the exam. Because Sun Xingba's rifle shooting was in poor condition, he was afraid that it would be extended to the long stack assessment, so he included the mounted archery into two assessments.
in the middle, so that Sun Xingba could take the opportunity to regain some confidence.
With the lesson of Bu She, Sun Xingba was extra low-key this time. He did not take the initiative to taunt Chai Yan, but took deep breaths many times and tried his best to adjust his state.
Chai Yan felt that the residual heat from hitting nine arrows in a row was still there, so he confidently raised his bow and set the arrow.
Nagato Shibahiko, who was one hundred and eighty steps away, had been practicing for the past two days. A one-third hit rate was not a big problem for him. He just hoped that there would be no inexplicable evil wind when he shot the arrow later.
.
Draw the bow, aim, and shoot, all in one go!
The arc drawn by this feathered arrow is also higher and farther...
"No!"
The target reporter in the distance crossed his arms and waved, and Chai Yan's first arrow missed.
Shangguan Peining seemed a little uneasy, so she asked quietly: "Are you okay?"
Chai Yan still said the same thing: "It's okay, there is always an adaptation process..."
When Sun Xingba saw that his first arrow missed, he immediately showed a gloating expression, but he was not in a hurry to mock Chai Yan, after all, he had not yet hit the target.
After taking a deep breath and adjusting, Chai Yan shot the second arrow...
Although the arrow hit the effective edge of the target this time, it still fell off the target after shaking for some unknown reason.
"No!"
According to the rules, if the feathered arrow is not fixed on the target, it will also fail.
Hang Baiqiu thought to himself, it's a pity.
"Hey, what's wrong with you! Why are your hands so weak at this critical moment?" Shangguan Peining was the roundworm in Chai Yan's belly. She felt exactly what he was thinking just now.
"I'm nervous..." Chai Yan did not shirk his responsibility. No one could blame him for this arrow. He only blamed himself for being temporarily nervous.
"Listen carefully to me. Take action only when you are confident. The last arrow will never miss the target!" Shangguan Peining was not calm at all.
Sun Xingba next door was in a very happy mood: Brat, you have this day too?
No, you have to put a little more pressure on him!
Thinking of this, Sun Xingba focused his attention on the Moon Chasing Bow...
Chai Yan, who was adjusting his condition, suddenly heard the sound of an arrow being shot. He immediately looked up and saw an arrow hitting the target!
"I got it, I got it, hahaha..."
Then, Sun Xingba's ecstatic laughter filled his ears.
