The Shuofang Army Barracks is divided into two parts: the inner-city barracks and the outer-city barracks. The inner-city barracks is located in the northwest corner of the county. It has no school grounds, only dozens of rows of barracks, and covers an area of about fifty acres.
The military camp outside the city is outside the North City, separated from the military camp inside the city by only a city wall, but its area is twenty times larger, covering an area of 1,000 acres. There are trenches dug around it and hundreds of large tents. The school grounds alone cover an area of 300 acres.
big enough.
The martial arts meeting was held in the school grounds of the military camp outside the city.
There are no walls or barracks on the school grounds. Instead, a white line is drawn with plaster. Fighting can only occur outside the white line. Thousands of soldiers are responsible for maintaining order.
At this time, there was a sea of people outside the school grounds. There were tens of thousands of people who came from all over the county to watch the competition, and the school grounds were completely blocked.
At this time, groups of warriors came out of the city on horseback. The first thing Guo Song and others encountered were the warriors from Linjiabao. They were all wearing white warrior uniforms. There were about 20 people, a few more than Liangjiabao.
logistics.
Lin Jiabao has been ranked first for four consecutive years and is very powerful. The team leader is called Lin Sha, who is about thirty years old. He is tall, strong, and unsmiling. He is a general of the Shuofang Army and has very strong martial arts skills.
He stepped forward and said hello to Liang Huihe, with a rare smile on his face.
Linjiabao's warriors were all slender and strong, riding in two teams. None of them had smiles on their faces, and they looked quite proud. However, they had the capital to be proud, ranking first for four consecutive years.
Guo Song discovered that Lin Feng, the leader of the Playboys, was not among them, which showed that the Lin family still had some money.
The appearance of Linjiabao warriors made many young girls around them excited. They all stared eagerly at Linjiabao's flag bearer, Lin Tai, who was known as the best young master in Shuofang. The girls did not hide their inner love.
Guo Song also saw Lin Tai. He had to admit that this Lin Tai was indeed very handsome, with fair skin, eyebrows like swords, eyes like cold stars, a high and slender nose, and clear-cut thin lips.
His slender and tall figure, riding on a strong white horse, looks like a jade tree in the wind, and he has the righteousness of a soldier.
Lin Tai smiled and stepped forward to give Liang Wu a slap in the face, but Liang Ling'er snorted dissatisfiedly, "You're so hypocritical now, but you're not merciful at all during the competition!"
Lin Tai ignored Liang Ling'er, but quickly glanced at Guo Song. News in the military camp was relatively closed. He didn't know about the killing of horses in the street, just because Guo Song wore a gold headband, indicating that he was a foreign aid.
Each team's foreign players will receive special attention. The reason is very simple. Only those with real abilities will be hired as foreign players.
Guo Song also discovered Linjiabao's foreign aid. He heard that he was a young general of the Shuofang Army. He was very ordinary and unremarkable. If he hadn't been wearing a golden headband, no one would have noticed him.
Being invited as a foreign aid by Lin Jiabao, who is full of talents, he must be outstanding.
Liang Ling'er introduced to Guo Song in a low voice: "His name is Li Ji. His archery skills are very good, especially his mounted shooting. He can shoot through a tree with a hundred steps. He was promoted to captain at the age of twenty. He is the immediate boss of that pretty boy."
Guo Song looked at his hands carefully again. His arms were long and slender, and his fingers were thin and strong. His intuition told Guo Song that this was indeed a very powerful guy.
Li Ji also looked at Guo Song, and suddenly saw his iron spine bow, and his eyes were very surprised. Guo Song found that his bow was also a custom-made bow, about one stone and five buckets.
The two people's eyes met, and there was a sense of sympathy for each other. They were rivals during the game, but on the battlefield, they were brothers fighting side by side.
"Sister Feng!" Liang Ling'er suddenly shouted excitedly, urging her horse to run towards a warrior.
This chilling name gave Guo Song goosebumps on his back.
In Linjiabao's team, a female warrior appeared at some point. She was at least 1.75 meters tall. Perhaps because of her years of martial arts training, she had a pretty good figure. Her skin was slightly dark, her face was long, but she had clear outlines and a pair of stunning almond eyes.
There was no affection, but a bit of coldness, his eyes were very sharp, his lips were pursed into a straight line, his expression was resolute, and there was no smile on his face.
Guo Song immediately concluded that she was a tomboy.
This female warrior is Lin Tai's sister, named Lin Feng. She is fifteen years old this year. She is the only female contestant in the martial arts competition and one of the three female warriors in Lingzhou. Of course, she has a close relationship with Liang Ling'er.
Liang Ling'er held her arm and kept chattering and laughing. Lin Feng also had a girlish smile on her face, which made her feel more comfortable.
At this time, Liang Ling'er suddenly pointed at Guo Song, as if she was introducing Guo Song to Lin Feng. Lin Feng also looked at Guo Song, her eyes looking very cold. When she turned to Liang Ling'er, her eyes quickly melted.
Next to him, Lin Tai pricked up his ears and looked at Guo Song quietly.
Guo Song sighed in his heart, this silly boy had revealed all his details.
"Ling'er!"
Liang Wu also realized that the younger sister was talking too much and shouted sternly, "Don't disturb others, come here quickly!"
Liang Ling'er pouted, "No! I want Sister Feng to be with me, and Sanniang will be here soon."
Liang Wu wanted to go up and pull her back, but Guo Song pressed the back of his hand. There was no need to look at her. Liang Ling'er didn't know much about her own details.
In fact, with his two stone bows, in the eyes of experts, he has revealed many secrets, such as that Li Ji.
Sure enough, Li Ji stepped forward and whispered a few words to Lin Tai, and Lin Tai also looked at Guo Song's two stone bows.
The two team leaders had finished exchanging pleasantries and led the team to their respective tents.
There are more than thirty large tents set up next to the school grounds. Each team has its own tent, and the warriors rest inside. Today is the archery competition, and the martial arts schools are not participating, so the tents of each martial arts academy are empty.
However, they came and were watching the battle outside. Guo Song saw Shi Xiaopang, standing with several martial arts companions, commenting on the various family warrior teams.
The horses were given to the logistics boys, and Guo Song and the others walked into the big tent with the black flag and sat down on the carpet one after another.
"Wulang, what's next?" Guo Song asked Liang Wudao with a smile.
"The next step is to draw lots to see who we meet in the first round?"
“It’s best to meet Xujiabao!”
One of the disciples screamed strangely, and everyone laughed tacitly.
Xujiabao has been ranked last for three consecutive years and is recognized as the weakest team. It has only won one game in the past four years. If it were not for the guarantee of ten pairs of Mingguang Armor, they would not come as a sparring partner, which would be embarrassing.
"They are a bunch of worthless guys. I hope I draw Lin Jiabao today!"
Liang Wu's words immediately attracted boos. Last year's top four will not meet in the first round. This is the rule. How hypocritical this guy is.
Liang Wu ignored everyone, sat next to Guo Song and asked with a smile: "Old Guo, how is your footwork?"
"The walking bow is the basis of mounted archery! It should be okay."
Liang Wu suddenly remembered that shooting mice in the weapons shop was actually a walking bow. He patted his forehead and said, "I'm a little confused."
Guo Song smiled faintly and said, "Tell me about the rules of foot bow! Don't let me foul it."
Four Liang family disciples who were participating in a martial arts competition for the first time gathered around and they also wanted to hear the rules.
Liang Wu thought for a while and then solemnly said to everyone: "The rules are very simple. It's called five fives, five people, five bows, five arrows, fifty paces shooting distance, each arrow has a maximum of five points, everyone takes turns to shoot, and then we
The scores of the five people are added up and compared with the opposing family. If you surpass the opponent in the bow round, you win. There will be points in the sword match in the afternoon. The total scores of the two rounds are added up to determine the outcome. If the opponent is eliminated, we will enter tomorrow's next round.
One round.”
"Will it be better than the walking bow tomorrow?" asked a disciple.
Liang Wu shook his head, "There is only one competition for infantry and archery this morning. From now on, it will always be a weapons competition, but the scores for infantry and archery will be carried to the end, so the archery game later will be very important."
Guo Song silently recited the five fives, then raised his eyebrows and asked: "Then which five people will appear today, have you decided?"
The tent suddenly became quiet. Liang Wu was silent for a moment and said: "We have already had an internal crossbow competition, and the four quotas have been determined. If you include you, there will be five."
Guo Song frowned, "Isn't this a bit unfair? I should also participate in the internal archery selection."
Liang Wu shook his head and said solemnly: "This is not a matter of fairness, this is a rule. If foreign aid also participates in internal competitions, then what else do we need foreign aid for? And the ten of us were selected from many competitions. The strong will go first, and the weak will win.
Next, every family is like this, without exception."
"I understand!" Guo Song nodded.
At this time, Liang Ling'er flew in like a deer and said excitedly: "Let me tell you the latest news, the lottery has ended, and we have drawn the Xiazhou Ma family."
