Chapter 114: A Stunning Shot

The body is light, and the gun is urgent. -------Tang Dynasty. Du Fu "Enter Cai Xilu Duwei and Return Longyou to the 35th Secretary of the High School"

It is said that Chen Long and Zhao Yun personally ended up on the stage and performed the magic bow stunt, which instantly shocked the audience. In the cheers, Chen Long galloped back to the audience, his subordinates had already sorted out the ranking of the archery competition, when Chen Long unfolded the bamboo slip to look, he saw that the top 20 rankings were written on it, which were:

The first Zhang He, Zhang Junyi, 199 rings

The second place, Hu Zhen, Hu Wencai, 182 rings

Third place Shakin 179 rings

The third place, Zhu Zhi, Zhu Junli, 179 rings

Fourth place: Liu Xun, Liu Zitai, 178 rings

……

11th place: Zhang Nan, Zhang Yanbei, 172 rings

……

19th Cai Xun Cai Wang Xun 161 rings

Chen Long saw that the famous generals in his red circle were all in the top 20 list, and Zhang He, who picked the red hook, was ranked first. Throwing the bamboo slip to his subordinates, he waved his hand and ordered: "In the second round, the riding begins." ”

The candidates' horses are all carefully selected from Huang Gai's army, and they are highly trained. The first part of equestrianism is to cross the obstacle with a weight, depending on the cooperation of the rider and the military horse. The order of appearance remains the same, the top candidates have picked the horses, the field has quickly built several rows of more than one meter high obstacles, the top of the wooden pole is moving, once the horse's hooves touch the wooden pole, will be deducted points, similar to the later generations of equestrian show jumping.

As for the weight, 50 pounds of sandbags were hung on the horse in advance, but most of the candidates used stirrups for the first time, and they practiced on the horses one after another to feel the wonderful use of stirrups. The first player to appear on the stage obviously did not practice lifting horses and flying vertically, and the people and horses did not cooperate well, and after a while, he fell with a blue nose and swollen face, and was defeated; Fortunately, the skin was rough and the flesh was thick, so there were no injuries.

Sha Jin appeared, and the barbarians have always valued bravery, and horseback riding is just as average. However, Sha Jin was obviously a step ahead, with infinite strength, and the skill of controlling the horse was quite qualified, and he barely passed the race, only touching a few wooden poles.

Hu Zhen appeared, he himself is from Xiliang, it can be said that he grew up on horseback, a group of horses were controlled by him with ease, such as flying, easily over many obstacles, the wooden poles are motionless, ushered in a round of applause, and got a top score.

Zhang He and Zhang Nan are both famous generals in the north, and they are also skilled in equestrianism, Zhang He has a better combination of people and horses, and his score is slightly ahead of Zhang Nan, and both of them have scores after Hu Zhen, ranking second and third.

Liu Xun, Zhu Zhi and Cai Xun and other southern generals were much worse in horsemanship, and these were all good at naval warfare, and the time spent on horseback was slightly shorter, ranking seventh, eighth and eleventh respectively.

The equestrian competition takes a long time, and it is not until sunset that it is all competed. Chen Long had another ranking table in his hand, and when he saw that the sun was about to set, he waved his hand and announced: "Early tomorrow morning, the second round of equestrian will be held." Players draw lots, group in pairs, and catch the right elimination. The winners will continue to be eliminated in pairs, and the top 10 will be determined and then divided into groups of five. The top five rankings will be determined by the upper bracket round-robin match, and the lower bracket round-robin will determine the sixth to tenth places. The remainder will be scored according to the rounds eliminated and will no longer be ranked. ”

The first day of the competition was enough for the people of Lingling to get over their addiction, and they talked about it in the streets, not leaving the first round of martial arts that had just been held. At that time, the world was in turmoil, and the martial arts were prevalent, and the martial arts competition attracted a large number of viewers more than the liberal arts competition, and became an absolute news hotspot in Lingling. It is said that the underground dark pile is surging, Zhang He is generally optimistic about winning the championship, the championship odds have plummeted, and the hot spots have shifted to the sub-championship and the second and third place handicaps.

And such a grand occasion has also been reported to their respective warlord leaders by secret agents from all over the world, driving a wave of all-out competition for talents. The imperial examination, a method of selecting talents, has also been imitated, exposing the ambitions of some local warlords.

Early the next morning, the second event of the equestrian competition, which is also the highlight of this martial arts, officially began the equestrian battle knockout round. The arrest and fight of more than 900 people was in full swing in all the empty fields of several tens of kilometers along the Xiangjiang River, and the scene was extremely enthusiastic. small

Holding the long pole in his hand, he covered the head of the pole with lime in the lime pool, stepped on the military horse, and his heart swelled with strong confidence. He came from the wild Wuxi area, since he was a child, he had infinite strength, and he had to be instructed in martial arts, and he rarely met opponents when he became an adult, and was known as the first general of Wuxi.

Sha Jin's opponent in the first round was a gibbon-like gray man in a power suit, and a long pole was held in his hand as if it were a child's toy. Sha Jin was already sitting on the crossbar of the war horse, and the big man in the strong suit did not say anything when he got on the horse, leaning over the people and horses together, sprinting like an arrow, and the long pole in his hand stabbed straight out, wanting to use the powerful sprint of the war horse to stab Sha Jin under the horse with one shot.

The corners of Sha Jin's mouth pursed, the war horse remained motionless, and the explosive power gradually filled his arms, slowly reaching its peak. The gibbon's head stabbed straight at him, and his long arms made the head less than half a foot from Shajin's chest, and he howled in his big mouth, as if he was going to pierce Shajin through with one stroke.

Seeing that the clubhead was about to pierce Shajin's chest, the long rod in Shajin's hand finally moved, and with a strong wind, it danced in a small arc, and smashed under the stabbing clubhead, which suddenly passed through the space above Shajin's shoulder and stabbed into the air.

The gibbon was determined to get a full shot, and suddenly stabbed in the air, and the force came back like a boulder, and it seemed to have been hit hard in the chest, and he almost vomited blood in sadness. Just yelling that it was not good, Shajin's long pole thunderbolted again, making a piercing scream, the gibbon rose up with all his strength, and the long pole in his hand was raised with all his might, only to hear a click, the gibbon's long pole was instantly broken into two, and the sharp energy smashed on his heavenly spirit cover, the gibbon did not say a word, and from the horse an upside-down onion, he had fainted to the ground, and smashed a place of smoke and dust.

Sha Jin laughed, he had shown mercy to his subordinates, and he still easily defeated the first opponent, and he couldn't help but burst with confidence. Chen Long's trauma medical officer lifted the gibbon down for treatment.

The knockout rounds are in full swing, and before the sun sets, the top 10 of the tournament will finally be decided. Among them, Cai Xun encountered Zhang He too early in the final round of eliminations and was eliminated; Although Liu Xun won a miserable victory, he was broken by his opponent and had to withdraw after being seriously injured, leaving only nine people in the top ten.

Chen Long saw that the nine people who came out of the knockout round were all majestic and high-spirited, some were heroic, some were tiger-backed, some were knotted, and some were tall and mighty, so he was happy in his heart, and announced loudly: "The top ten decided today, as long as they are loyal to the people of Lingling, they will all be high-ranking officials above the deputy division commander level in our army in the future." There are only nine people left who can't be grouped, I think Zhang He will be drawn out for the time being, and there are eight people left, divided into two groups, the first group leader Sha Jin, the team members are Zhu Zhi, Guo Li, Zhang Qi, the second group leader Hu Zhen, and the team members are Zhang Nan, Ling Feng, and Xian Yutong. ”

Zhang He hit the horse, withdrew from the empty field, and stood on Zhao Yun's side to watch the game. Chen Long finally saw this tiger general up close, and saw his big face, black hair, thick eyebrows and heavy eyes, extraordinary momentum, really majestic, dignified appearance, and couldn't help but love it. The two groups of generals in the field had already picked out the order of the battle, handed over the appearance sequence to Chen Long, and Chen Long's life began immediately.

The first appearance in the Shajin group was Guo Li, a native of Chaisang in Xunyang County, Jingzhou, and the appearance in the Hu Zhen group was Xian Yutong, a native of Yuyang County, Youzhou. The two were evenly matched, fighting for three rounds, and the referee counted the white spots on the two and announced that Xian Yutong had won a narrow victory. Xian Yutong was overjoyed, raised the bamboo pole high and pointed to Sha Jin and said: "Who else dare to send the general of the defeated army?" ”

Sha Jin was furious, and was about to fight by himself, but behind him Yangzhou Danyang's old man Zhu Zhizao was impatient, and he jumped out of the pole, and his mind was rarely in the eyes, and his subordinates were no longer merciful, and he looked at a flaw in the second round, and the weight of the pole tail was focused on the forehead of Xian Yutong, and he knocked him off the horse to win.

Ling Feng, a new savage in Nanyang County, Jingzhou, came out of the horse and fought with Zhu Zhi for three rounds, Zhu Zhi won by points, and the Shajin group won two games in a row, and his morale was greatly boosted. Zhang Nan, a native of Yecheng in Jizhou, went out and fought with Zhu Zhi for three more rounds, but Zhu Zhi was exhausted and defeated. Zhang Qi, a native of Ganling in Qinghe State, Jizhou, got out of the horse, and was swept under the horse by Zhang Nan.

Seeing that only he was left in his own group, Sha Jin sneered slightly, lifted the pole and stepped out, Zhang Nan shouted: "Milky child, eat me!" He threw himself into his arms and told him to rush straight to the end, but he ended up with a gibbon, and was split into two pieces by Sha Jin, and the strong wind directly knocked Zhang Nan to the side. The medical officer rushed forward to rescue him, thinking to himself that today's patients, no wonder all of them had concussions.

There were only two team leaders left on both sides, and Hu Zhen, a native of Wuwei in Liangzhou, slowly stepped out, his rough face was as cold as ice. His martial arts have been obtained from horseback since he was a child, and he has a lot of actual combat experience, knowing that the strength of the barbarian on the other side is above his own, and he must use his horsemanship to make the opponent's strength impossible to play.

Xiliang Iron Ride, tenacious and unparalleled, iron-blooded battlefield, but Erer. The blood in Hu Zhen's brain surged, a large amount of adrenaline was secreted, and with a loud roar, the military horse under his crotch burst up, and he jumped high and flew into the space of two feet, showing excellent horse control skills. The long pole took advantage of the power of the military horse falling from the air, and slashed down vertically, implying several changes, sealing Sha Jin's retreat path to move sideways left and right, unless Sha Jin retreated, otherwise he had to resist his heavy attack on the flat ground.

Sha Jin's eyes narrowed, and his tempered body tightened with all his might, pressing the war horse under his crotch tightly, as if pressing a powerful spring. Waiting for Hu Zhen's people and horses to fall from the highest point, the moment he held the long pole and split down, Sha Jin's body suddenly loosened, the pressure of the war horse under the crotch suddenly lost, the horse's back rebounded, just hit Sha Jin's back buttocks, Sha Jin's body with the power of this bullet, swished into the air, Hu Zhen's long pole narrowly swept past the tip of Sha Jin's nose, hit the horse's back, only to hear a click, the sound of the horse breaking came.

At the same time that Sha Jin was sitting on his horse and neighing miserably, Sha Jin in mid-air had already shaken his hand to pick out a long rainbow, the long pole rotated slightly, and a gorgeous big spear flower was conjured up in the sun. Hu Zhen couldn't avoid it, only felt that the internal organs of his whole body were like being hit by a heavy hammer, and at the same time that the people and horses were separated in the air and the military horses fell into the air, Hu Zhen's huge body weight fell heavily into the dust several feet away, spitting blood from his mouth, and he was already unconscious.

Chen Long was busy with the medical officer's rescue, and laughed and said, "The young general Sha Jin has extraordinary strength. I declare that Shakin has won the group! The four generals of the Shajin group raised their long poles one after another, roaring like thunder, and the cheers of the audience next to them were like rolling thunder, resounding in the sky.

Chen Long then announced the results of today's equestrian battle, the loser Hu Zhen won the 6th-9th place in the group, and the winner Zhu Zhi, Guo Li, and Xian Yutong won the 3rd, 4th, and 5th places respectively, and then announced: "Today's champion and runner-up will be produced between Zhang He and Sha Jin, and it is also the ultimate battle today. I declare that, for the sake of fairness, Shajin will be allowed to rest for one night and fight again tomorrow morning! ”

The crowd was waiting to cheer, and Sha Jin, who had just stabbed a stunning shot, shouted in a dialect voice: "No need! What I have today is strength, I might as well fight Zhang He immediately! ”
