Chapter 836: Day 2 of the Competition (2)
Starting from the fifth railing, the height of all railings is the most difficult 1.6 meters in the international arena, but compared with the general international competition, the number of 1.6-meter railings used in Zhang Chengyuan's equestrian performance today is obviously more, that is to say, Zhang Chengyuan's equestrian performance is actually more difficult than the international competition even if it only counts the 12 obstacles in front of it.
However, most of the audience didn't know this, so they didn't think it was good, but intuitively thought that Zhang Chengyuan's heroic posture riding a horse was too handsome, and his riding skills were really skilled.
When the audience was amazed, Zhang Chengyuan and his mount had crossed four obstacles in a row, although these four obstacles were 1.6 meters high, but at most they were only double railing obstacles, so for him, there was no difficulty, but the remaining four obstacles were much more difficult, not only were they all three railings, but the distance between each adjacent two obstacles was getting shorter and shorter, from 7 meters, 5 meters to 3 meters, and this also meant that the distance and time available for adjustment were getting less and less, and the difficulty could be described as increasing layer by layer.
Thanks to Zhang Chengyuan's subtlety and almost heart-to-heart communication with the horse, he crossed the last four obstacles in one breath in a row, and he completed it quite beautifully, without the slightest wolf. At this point, however, his horse was a little out of breath, so he took a break and looked around the audience and waved to the crowd.
Seeing this, the audience naturally echoed loudly and shouted Zhang Chengyuan's name together. And this nearly 100,000 people shouted in unison. It's really magnificent. It's like a sea of mountains, I'm afraid that even the idol stars who have always been very popular will be envious after seeing this scene, right? And after the media see it, I am afraid that Jang Sung-won will be touted as the "king of popularity" among Korean artists this year. But that's also close to the truth.
After crossing the twelve railing obstacles, there were only three special obstacles left, and Zhang Chengyuan rested for about five minutes to let the horse catch his breath, and then rode the horse. Slowly came to the sand pit, stood for a while, patted the horse's neck again, turned around and retreated more than thirty meters away, and then turned to face the sand pit.
After calculating the stride distance, Zhang Chengyuan rode his horse and galloped, and gradually increased his speed, and when he reached the front of the bunker, he lifted the reins, and the horse under him immediately jumped up. flew into the air, and at this time, the audience's hearts almost rose to their throats. was so nervous that he was dumbfounded, and he couldn't care about cheering for Zhang Chengyuan anymore, and the audience was suddenly silent. Everyone's eyes were staring straight at the black shadow under Zhang Chengyuan's crotch, turning with its movement, just afraid that there would be sudden thunder and rain in the sky, and no one would pay attention to it.
Under the gaze and expectation of more than 90,000 people, Zhang Chengyuan's horse drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then fell to the opposite side of the sand pit, and the horse's hind legs were more than a meter away from the edge of the sand pit.
Zhang Chengyuan waved to the audience with gratitude, and then rode to the front of the two-meter-high dirt slope, and then retreated more than 30 meters again, ready to start sprinting. Jumping to a height of two meters is much more difficult than crossing a six-meter long bunker, and it is also more dangerous, because if you are not careful, the horse may stumble on the slope wall in mid-air and fall headlong, and then you will be seriously injured if you don't die - of course, this refers to the horse, not Zhang Chengyuan, with his steel and iron bones, falling off the horse will never cause a big deal.
However, Zhang Cheng is a master of the arts, he is not afraid that his skills will not pass, and he uses the power of the Yuan Shen to communicate with the horse's heart and strengthen its courage, so he is not afraid that it will not be able to exert his strength on the spot, so he does not have to worry about the horse stumbling and having an accident. At this time, he was calm and relaxed, and he didn't feel the slightest nervousness, as if the next thing to do was just a trivial matter like drinking tea and eating.
But the audience couldn't help but worry about him, no one wanted any accidents to happen to a K-pop superstar like Jang Sung Won, and Jang Sung Won's sisters were even more worried, if they had known that Jang Sung Won was going to show such a dangerous move, they would have persuaded him to give up this idea, but it was difficult to stop it at this time, I just hope that he can complete this leap smoothly.
Maybe only Xiao Jing was not worried at all, there was no worry on her face, only excitement, because she was convinced that Zhang Chengyuan was strong and there was nothing she couldn't do.
Under the gaze of the audience, Zhang Chengyuan galloped up suddenly, the speed became faster and faster, as if it was just a shadow, so that people could not see clearly at all, and when he got closer, he suddenly rose into the air and flew towards the dirt slope, the posture of flying in the air, brave and beautiful, swift and calm, suddenly crossed the dirt slope, and then stood steadily, like a fairy knight. After a while, the horse let out a long neigh, and galloped downhill, galloping, and seemed to be thrilled that he could climb such a high dirt slope.
Only then did the audience react, and then burst out into a thunderous shout, cheering loudly, and said in their hearts: "Zhang Chengyuan is really like a god, and his horse is definitely a god horse worth ten thousand gold." ”
Then, there was only one last obstacle left, at this time, several staff members suddenly lifted an arrow target, about 100 meters away from the 1.6-meter railing, and then another staff member walked out and handed Zhang Chengyuan a recurve bow and an arrow bag full of arrows. Zhang Chengyuan reached out and took it and carried the quiver behind his back.
As soon as everyone saw it, they knew that he might be going to perform the skill of riding horse archery, and they couldn't help but be surprised. I don't want Zhang Chengyuan to have this kind of ability, but it's really surprising.
Zhang Chengyuan took the bow, pulled it a few times, tried the bow strength, and then pulled out an arrow from the quiver behind him, put it on the bow, and aimed at the direction of the arrow target at will, and then shot an arrow. The audience immediately cheered again, cheering for Zhang Chengyuan.
Zhang Chengyuan smiled, suddenly turned the horse's head and trotted back, ran about twenty or thirty meters away and then turned back, and then ran straight towards the railing, ran to the front, the horse instinctively jumped, and at this time Zhang Chengyuan quickly led the arrow and pulled the bow and shot an arrow, the arrow shadow flashed, and he saw that there was another arrow in the bull's-eye part of the arrow target, which immediately caused a cheer.
However, Zhang Chengyuan was not proud, because for him, it was really not difficult to shoot arrows on horseback, with the positioning of his divine sense, and then attaching his true qi to the arrows to offset the influence of the wind, it was nothing to him at all. And if he doesn't use this trick, his archery skills are actually at the level of an Olympian, so for him who is arrogant, he naturally has nothing to be proud of.
Later, Zhang Chengyuan successively demonstrated difficult archery methods such as "sideways archery", "turning archery", "double arrows, three arrows" and other difficult archery methods on the galloping or hurdle galloping, and even on a whim, even the legendary archery method of "one bow and two arrows", which has only been seen in film and television works, was also revealed, and the arrows hit the bull's-eye, which made people stunned and thought they were dreaming.
Fortunately, Zhang Chengyuan did not use the "one bow and four arrows" archery technique of "reaching the peak", otherwise he might have stunned many people on the spot. Of course, Zhang Chengyuan will not have this kind of extreme archery method that only exists in the imagination of human beings, "one bow and two arrows" is almost his limit, and he also slightly used the cheating method of the power of the original god, otherwise the arrow he shot at that time would definitely have an arrow missed.
But even so, as soon as his archery skills are displayed, I am afraid that he will soon be recognized as South Korea's marksman by the Korean people, and those archery world champions in South Korea will never have such superb marksmanship.
After that, Zhang Chengyuan accepted it when he saw it, and stopped this equestrian performance, well, and archery performance. Although the archery performance deviated a little from the theme of horse racing in the end, as long as the audience was happy, it was nothing, anyway, it was just a performance, not an official race.
After a performance, it took more than half an hour, at this time it was nearly 9:40, and it was less than an hour before the original set 10:30 to start the final of the 5000-meter speed horse race. For this reason, he also lost a few true qi to his horse in order to quickly recover its body.
At this time, some singing and dancing performances began on the makeshift stage in the middle of the racecourse to entertain the audience and keep them from waiting too much.
Time passed, and soon at 10:10, the competitors entered the arena and then rode or led the horses around the parade area, which was not only to warm up the horses, but also to show the heroic posture of the horses to the spectators. At this time, Kim Tae-hee and her mount "Red Cloud" naturally also appeared, which immediately attracted a cheer and cheer.
Although Kim Tae-hee's appearance yesterday was not as amazing as Jang Sung-won today, the audience was still impressed and loved her riding a horse yesterday, so they also supported her very much today, and even many male viewers hoped that she could beat Jang Sung-won and other riders and win the championship.
But this is obviously too difficult, because after seeing Zhang Chengyuan and his mount this morning, everyone has to admit that Zhang Chengyuan and his mount are really powerful and unmatched. Although what they just showed was not speed, but the ability to jump over obstacles, for some reason, almost everyone felt that today's champion was none other than Jang Sung-won, probably because his performance just now was too shocking.
