Everyone looked at each other in confusion. What kind of opponent are the Ma family?
"I know a little bit!"
Liang Wu stood up and said to everyone: "The Ma family is the largest family in Xiazhou, and its strength is about the same as ours. They have three relatively strong disciples, Ma Tianluo, Ma Tiansha and Ma Tianyou. This time they will also
The three of them should be the main ones.”
"Are they Han?" Guo Song interjected and asked, his intuition telling him that the Ma family seemed to be a foreign race.
"Their family's bloodline is quite complicated. As far as I know, they should be Qiang people, and later they married Han people. I heard that they also have Dangxiang people's blood. The fact that Dangxiang people live in Xiazhou is related to their family."
"Then today is a tough battle."
Liang Wu nodded slowly, "Today is indeed a tough battle. We must not underestimate the enemy."
‘Boom! Boom! Boom!’ The preparation drum sounded.
Liang Huihe strode in, "Put down all your weapons and get ready to go!"
He then asked several logistics disciples: "You guys take care of the items, especially the horses."
Liang Huihe then said to everyone: "Today our opponent is the Xiazhou Ma family, a very strong opponent. Everyone, cheer up. Wulang, have you told everyone the rules of the bow game?"
Liang Wu quickly said: "I have already said it."
"Okay! Let's set off to Shooting Range No. 3."
Guo Song and four Liang family disciples walked out of the big tent in a procession. He was surprised to see that the team standing in front of the big tent next to him was actually a warrior of the Guo family, and the leader was Guo Zhi.
The person holding the flag is an unknown member of the Guo family. Guo Sheng is good at swordsmanship but not good at archery, so he did not participate in today's competition. He will participate in the afternoon fencing round.
The Guo family was lucky today and got the weakest Xu family, so they can basically pass the test.
In addition, the Guo family also has a foreign aid, who seems to be a young soldier, with a gold belt around his waist, his waist is straight, and he looks majestic.
When Guo Zhi saw Guo Song, he sighed in his heart. If he was still a disciple of his own clan, then the Guo family would probably take first place this year.
Liang Huihe walked over and said apologetically: "How is Brother Xian's internal injuries? I scolded Quanzi severely yesterday. He shouldn't have caused trouble and hurt Brother Xian's body. I'm really sorry!"
Liang Huihe never mentioned Guo Song, only scolded his own son, as if he was caring about the other party, but in fact he was telling the truth about the other party's defeat.
Guo Zhi said calmly: "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front. We are all old. Huihe, let's work together to fight against the aliens!"
Guo Zhi turned his eyes to Guo Song again and sighed softly: "I told my father yesterday. You know he still regrets it a little. We just passed by No. 1."
Liang Huihe was silent, while Guo Zhi smiled and said, "Can I say a few words to him?"
"As you please!"
Guo Zhi slowly walked up to Guo Song, put his hands behind his hands and said with a smile: "I saw you when you were a child. You were only five years old at that time. You just came to Guo Mansion and you were scared of everyone you saw."
Guo Song smiled lightly, "What do you want to say? But it doesn't hurt."
Guo Zhi nodded, "Your father Guo Huaishan is actually a member of the Guo family, but he is a distant branch. According to seniority, I should call him brother."
"so what?"
Guo Zhi sighed and said: "Guo Shichang cannot represent the Guo family, and he has no right to expel you from the family."
"I shouldn't be in your family in the first place."
"But your father is here! I checked the genealogy yesterday and found your father's name on the copy. Although he is a distant branch, he is still a member of the Guo family after all."
Guo Song smiled and shook his head, "You and Guo Shichang are indeed different. I'm sorry for the stabbing yesterday, but I can't put sand in my eyes, and the same goes for Guo Shichang. Don't affect Lingzhou for my insignificant far branch.
Please come back to the unity of the Guo family! We are about to enter."
Guo Zhi had no choice but to say to Guo Song: "I just hope you don't resent the Guo family for this."
"At least I won't resent you. Thank you for your encouragement to Xiaopang."
Guo Zhi took a deep look at him, bowed to him with clasped fists, then turned and walked towards the team.
Liang Wu walked slowly in front of Guo Song, looked at Guo Zhi's back and said in a deep voice: "He is the only one in the Guo family. His father is relatively weak. Although he is the patriarch, he is always afraid of offending others, which is why Guo Shichang is so arrogant.
"
At this time, a team of leading soldiers ran over. One person stood in front of each team. The leading soldiers shouted: "Please follow me!"
Everyone lined up and followed the guided soldiers to their respective shooting ranges.
Seven areas were drawn along the edge of the school grounds as shooting ranges. The seven shooting ranges were arranged in a ring, which was to cut a circle into seven parts. This way, everyone did not affect each other, but the people outside could see clearly that the shooting ranges were
in front of their eyes.
Fourteen families competed to test their archery skills. The Liang family was the third shooting range, and their opponent was the Ma family in Xiazhou.
Five people from each side stand on two target positions and shoot arrows. The bows and arrows are unified five-dou bows, fifty steps apart. Each person shoots five arrows. Points are awarded according to the number of rings hit. Five arrows are awarded for hitting the target.
Points are scored, no points are scored if the target is missed.
Five warriors from the Ma family have also arrived. According to the rules, the two parties cannot have any communication or talk. The two parties can only look at each other with their eyes.
It can be seen that the ancestry of the Ma family is not exactly the same as that of the Han people. Their father's line has always been Qiang, and their mother's line includes Qiang, Han, Dangxiang and other ethnic groups.
I feel that they are better at riding horses and archery, more martial, and have very strong physiques.
At this time, Liang Huihe gathered the five people together and said: "We will arrange the order later. Wu Lang will appear first, Xiao Qi will appear second, Jiulang will be third, A Wen will be fourth, and Mr. Guo will be the last to take the lead. Everyone should be relaxed."
Steady, it doesn’t matter even if you miss an arrow, don’t be affected, do you understand?”
Everyone nodded, and the referee stepped forward to find the two team leaders to draw lots. The Liang family was still unlucky. The target was outside, that is, on the side of the audience, about dozens of steps away from the audience, so they were easily affected.
The two teams stood in front of the launching line, and the referee read their names one by one. At this time, the audience outside cheered.
"Brother Five, come on!"
"Brother Guo, come on!"
Guo Song looked back and saw Liang Ling'er and Duan Sanniang, as well as Shi Xiaopang and his teammates standing next to them. They all came to cheer for the Liang family.
The one who just called her to cheer up was Liang Ling'er. She was waving a small golden flag with one side saying 'The Liang family must win' and the other saying 'Guo Song wins the championship'. Although this little girl has a little talkative mouth, she is really cute.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The game started.
Everyone was sitting on the ground in the back. Liang Wu was the first to step forward. There was a bow and five arrows on the table. Liang Huihe had already checked the bow and found that there was nothing wrong with it.
Liang Wu picked up his bow, pulled out an arrow from the quiver, took a deep breath, and shouted from outside: "Fifth brother, come on! The Liang family will win!"
Everyone supports the Liang family. After all, everyone is from Lingzhou, so of course they must support their hometown party.
This was the first time Guo Song saw Liang Wu archery. His posture when holding the bow and drawing arrows was very standard. He must have undergone rigorous training. Years of training made him not make mistakes easily. He was like a sophisticated machine, shooting arrows for the purpose of shooting.
Completely opposite to what Guo Song learned.
Guo Song practices archery just like other martial arts. It is very casual. There are no rules or postures. What he values is a feeling. He uses his heart to find the feeling and shoots the arrow with his heart. Even if he is blindfolded, he can still find the target.
.
The walking bow usually shoots at eighty to one hundred steps, but that requires an elevation angle. If it is a horizontal shot, it must be within fifty steps, so the competition distance is fifty steps, which is convenient for players to shoot horizontally.
Liang Wu drew his bow fully, aimed for a moment, and then shot out an arrow with a 'Whoosh!' sound, and the arrow hit the bull's-eye.
Suddenly there was a round of warm applause. Guo Song glanced at the Ma family. The first one to appear was Ma Tianluo. He also hit the bullseye with one arrow. The brothers behind him were so excited that they beat the ground and shouted.
Liang Wu's second arrow still hit the target, but Ma Tianluo's second arrow missed a little, four points.
The atmosphere became heated, and Liang Wu started to shoot the third arrow. The moment he released the arrow, someone suddenly shouted, "I'm going to kill you!"
Liang Wu's hand shook slightly, and the arrow missed by only three points.
Everyone turned to look angrily, and the person who made the roar was Ma Tianyou, the third child. He stood up, pinched a small insect and said to the magistrate: "This insect bites my ass!"
The referee glared at him fiercely and said, "I'm warning you and your companions, if you make loud noises to disrupt the game again, I will directly sentence you to lose."
The leader of the Ma family stepped forward and scolded Ma Tianyou, and the game continued.
Liang Wu's mood was somewhat affected. One of the last two arrows scored five points and the other four points. His total score was twenty-two points.
Martin Luo scored three five-pointers and two four-pointers, with a total score of 23 points, one point ahead of the Liang family.
