Chapter 69: Women
An arrow has a feather at its tail, because when the arrow moves in the air, it will produce a flow of air, and a little bit of air flow will deflect the arrow, and adding feathers can increase the balance of the arrow in the air, keep the arrow in a straight line to fly, and you can better hit the target. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Therefore, in the second "100 steps through the poplar" competition, the contestants used arrows to shoot willows with the feathers, which was indeed not an easy task.
If the "100 steps through the poplar" can win 12 out of 10, then the third "horse racing willow" can win the person is not one in a hundred, because the rules of this game are to put the pigeon in the gourd, and then hang the gourd high on the willow tree, the contestant rides a horse and bends the bow to shoot the gourd, the pigeon flies out, and the winner is determined by the height of the flying pigeon.
In the race, the horses are uncontrollable, because they are not the usual horses but the horses allocated by the palace, and the willow branches sway with the wind are also uncontrollable, of course, it is also very important that the arrows sent out should be shot just to the mouth of the gourd, if they shoot through the gourd, the pigeon there will be injured or killed, and the pigeon will not fly far, so it is not a victory. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately control the direction and control the intensity, and also have a super high ability to control the horse and judge the situation.
Zhang Zhaohua had never seen this kind of willow shooting competition before, and when she heard about such rules, she felt that it was impossible to achieve, but Gao Chi didn't tell her exactly whether there was really such a marksman under the command of King Yan, but only that the annual willow shooting activity was very exciting.
Now after the drums, the horse team performance is over, the first round of the competition begins, the participating soldiers stand in a specific place with bows on their backs, see the red flag falling on the opposite side, and then draw their bows to shoot colored balls.
Seeing that seven or eight out of ten can shoot the color ball, Zhang Yu's wife Dawang was itchy and said, "In this way, I can also shoot it!" Her words were echoed by the female dependents, and several wives of thousands and hundreds of households also said: "It doesn't seem difficult to shoot this!"
Princess Xu laughed, Duanli's face showed a very rare heroic spirit, she first whispered something to Ah Rui beside her, Ah Rui took the order, and said to the Da Wang: "If you are allowed to draw the bow, can you really shoot?"
The Dawang clan is also fifty years old, and he patted his leg very strongly: "What did Niangniang say! I didn't say that I was proficient in martial arts since I was a child, and I also bent the bow and rode the horse, even if I married him to the Zhang family, I also played with his big bow in my spare time, and now the distance of this colored ball is only one hundred and fifty steps, even if you add it fifty steps, the courtiers can also shoot!"
Princess Xu also clapped her hands and said, "Okay!
After hearing the request of the female dependent, King Yan and the generals over there looked at each other, and their expressions were indescribably strange. King Yan couldn't help but smile and said, "Everyone, you are all your family members, what do you say?"
After a while of noise underneath, Chen Qi spread his hands and said: "What kind of system is this! Women shoot arrows, isn't this similar to men's makeup!" Some people agree with what he said, saying that Yin and Yang have their own duties, and some people oppose it, which is funny, and said: "Chen Qianhu said this, just wait for the night to kneel on the washboard!"
King Yan laughed and said: "Who said that women are inferior to men, let alone the school field, it is the battlefield to compete for merit, isn't there also a woman hero like Mrs. Xian and Liang Hongyu!
Since King Yan spoke, the soldiers had no scruples, and they became noisy, stretching out their heads and glaring to see whose wife wanted to show their female might.
And the ladies in the pavilion were also very excited when they saw King Yan speaking for them like this. Because everyone didn't think about shooting archery in person when they came, they all wore wide-sleeved skirts, so they didn't have time to change their hunting clothes, so they simply wrapped their sleeves around their arms, tied them with colored threads that were originally tied to their wrists, and really received bows and arrows from the sergeant and came to the center of the school field.
Zhang Zhaohua saw that half of the more than 30 people had died, and in the face of the onlookers of the soldiers, there was not even the slightest timidity on his face. King Yan even went down to the field to wave the flag to them, and shot down in the first round, and all ten shots were hit. In the second round, there were five people, and they were all in the middle.
This achievement made the soldiers applaud loudly, and everyone couldn't believe that this group of female dependents was not inferior to men in archery, only Zhu Yong patted his thigh there and scolded: "This mother-in-law!
This is his wife Xiao Wang, Zhang Zhaohua didn't expect Xiao Wang's so delicate body, but he could also pull the bow and shoot arrows without changing his face, I heard her say before, it was to learn archery with her husband after marrying, I didn't expect that it was only four years, and the archery was also amazing, but the bad thing was that Xiao Wang's arrow seemed to shoot a little off, hanging on the edge of the color ball, but this is also rare.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Wang got angry, threw his bow on the ground, pointed at Zhu Yong and scolded: "You still say me! I know that I am a left-hander, but you want to teach me to shoot arrows with my right hand! Why don't you shoot with your left hand!"
Now the crowd was overwhelmed, and everyone was almost laughing. Zhu Yong's face turned red, stretched out his finger and nodded Xiao Wang's twice, picked up the bow she threw on the ground, and then really shot the arrow in his right hand and his left hand, and shot towards the camp gate-
It's actually in the middle!
At this time, Xiao Wang was dumbfounded, and the man's face grew, and there was another whistling.
The woman's side was also happy to welcome the victorious back like a hero, Yongping looked excited, and said: "I also want to learn archery! Seeing that Mrs. Xiao Wang only started learning at the age of eighteen, but it is only four years, and she can shoot so well!"
Zhang Zhaohua was also itching, she felt that she had been relaxing for too long, and she was busy with the case every day. Then you can open up a place to shoot targets in your own backyard, and practice two when you have nothing to do, which is a good way to exercise, and no one will criticize it.
The woman also went off the field and did not make the atmosphere embarrassing, but made the atmosphere of the game more and more high-King Yan lived up to his promise and gave a brocade robe to each person who had just shot the color ball, and also sent it to the female dependents. Although it is a man's style, it makes everyone happy, saying that they want to collect it well, which is also earned by their own ability, and it is best to take it to shame the face of men.
When the second game began, everyone held their breath and stretched their necks to look, and some people hesitated slightly when they saw that the wicker in the middle of the school field was no more than a foot long and half of it was still buried in the soil.
However, this kind of test is called hopeful, like the generals around Yan Wang, who were originally sitting and immovable, all showed interested looks, turned over their horses one after another, and came to the sidelines to wait.
The first one to play is destined to be a good start, but it is a very young general, this person Zhang Zhaohua did not know, but she has heard that it is the son of Li Wang, the deputy of Yanshan's left guard, Li Wang, injured his arm when he went north from Yanwang last year, and he was ready to resign at the end of this year, so that his son inherited the deputy Qianhu, and today he also intended to let his son show his martial arts.
"Jun'er's courage is commendable," King Yan also praised when he saw it, and said to Li Wang: "You gave birth to a good son." ”
Li Wang said humbly: "It's just that I learned a little bit of fur skills, and I just showed off one or two!"
