Chapter 113: Martial Movement of the Xiangjiang River

The moon is half a day, and the arrows are far away. --------Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin "Bow Wing"

It is said that Chen Long rode a handsome flying dragon, people are like jade, horses are like dragons, raise his right arm, mighty like a god descending to earth, in front of the worshipping people, say that everyone is equal, the officials are like Xun Chen, the arrogant and noble people in the entourage are like Liu Ba, the wealthy and rich among the Confucian scholars are like Lu Su, and all the thunder is the outer Jiao and the inner neen.

After Chen Long's impassioned speech, he found that although the people were all shouting from the mountains and tsunamis, everyone was ignorant, and obviously they didn't understand the true meaning of this. There were many stammering officials among them, and it was obviously difficult for them to fully accept the meaning of equality in Chen Long's speech.

Only Chen Long knew that this was an inevitable trend of historical development, but he had condensed it for thousands of years. In the cheers, Long Chen raised the silver spear of gentian, and a red dragon appeared, and the people knelt on the ground in surprise, treating Long Chen as a celestial, and some people even shouted out the true dragon son of heaven, obviously leaving aside what Chen Long was saying about everyone equally. After a lively chaos, Chen Long smiled bitterly in his heart, his heart could only be slowly cultivated, and he no longer hesitated at the moment, and took Zhao Yun and Huang Gai behind him to the center of the empty field.

Before the martial arts exam began, Chen Long deliberately selected a hundred elite knights from Huang Gai's cavalry team and asked Fu Tong to train a set of horse dances. This time, as soon as the cold light saber and the bright stirrup appeared, they immediately attracted the students of the martial arts exam, and since then the saber and stirrup have begun to circulate among the armies of the Three Kingdoms, which is not to be mentioned later.

After the horse team's performance, Chen Long announced: "This martial arts is divided into four categories: archery, horsemanship, hand-to-hand combat, and equipment performance. In the archery competition, candidates can use their own strong bows and crossbows, or they can use the bows and crossbows provided by the army, with ten iron arrows and ten crossbow arrows per person, and the ranking will be recorded with the total score. ”

"For the riding test, candidates can go to General Huang Gai's horse army to choose a war horse. Equestrian candidates are divided into two parts, one is to cross the obstacle with weight, and the examiner will score and rank; The second is to fight with a long pole with white ash, and the loser is eliminated until the champion is decided. ”

"Hand-to-hand combat is the simplest, and the candidate uses some protective gear to knock out the opponent as the winner. To avoid injury, hand-to-hand combat is divided into three rounds of one-minute each, and if the two sides are evenly matched, the referee scores the score. ”

"Apparatus performance, as the name suggests, you can choose your most advantageous blade at will, horse steps, perform a set of martial arts, and the referee will score and decide."

At present, more than 900 martial arts candidates have poured into the empty field to receive their own competition numbers, and all the martial law on the Xiangshui side dispersed the crowd, and more than 20 arrow targets were erected high and low.

Chen Long had already called Gao Lan, and found Zhang He with a tiger's back and a bear's waist among the people, and quietly paid attention. Looking at Zhang Heguo's face from a distance, with heavy eyebrows and eyes, a black face and black beard, he is quite tall, and he is holding a steel gun tightly in his hand. Chen Long came to the referee's bench and sat down, looking at the serial number of Zhang He's appearance, it was actually after more than 500.

The first group of twenty candidates had already picked out the bow and crossbow they had in hand, entered the predetermined archery competition location, and placed the bow and crossbow in front of them. Chen Long looked at it, some candidates were calm and relaxed, their legs were slightly open, their body shape was stable, and they were full of confidence at a glance; There are also mood swings, vain steps, shortness of breath, and I am afraid that I will not get any good results.

The first round of iron arrows was shot, the sound of the bowstring was loud, and after a round of shooting, the official who reported the target reported that the highest one had 10 rings, and the lowest one had 0 rings, Chen Long smiled, and just now he saw a kid stumbling when he sent an arrow, thinking that the arrow had been flying into the Xiangjiang River and got a 0 ring. Everyone's eyes focused on the few people who were in the heart of the first round, and saw that several people were not in a hurry to recognize the arrows, and they all took aim, waiting for the signal for the second round to start.

The commander held the command flag high and waved it downward, and the arrows of the anxious were already out of the string, and the slow people were willing to release the bow after repeated aiming, and the stability increased a lot. Zhao Yun stood beside Chen Long and said with a smile: "Archery is based on the innate sense of agility, shooting too slowly, although it is stable, but the opponent's arrow may arrive first." When Chen Long and the others heard this, they all thought it was true.

Ten rounds of the first group have passed, and the results of the winners are quickly calculated, pulling out a ranking of twenty people. Chen Long saw that the one with the highest score had 82 rings and the lowest one had 48 rings, so he nodded and said, "Yes, you can try crossbow arrows." ”

The longbow is used for long-distance battles, or to defend the city, and it is important to shoot it out, and it is almost impossible to get the right head. Although individual combat is also useful, especially a magic arrow like Huang Zhong, who can often retreat from the enemy with one arrow, but in a real large-scale group battle, the archer group is the most strategically significant. Although the range of the crossbow arrow is short, it uses the power of machinery, coupled with a dug straight groove, which is suitable for stable aiming, and the accuracy has been improved a lot, and it can often kill with one hit when used. After Zhou Budo designed a double-shot crossbow bow according to the rough repeater crossbow pattern provided by Chen Long, Chen Long's archers were all equipped, and the power was by no means covered.

After the first round of ten rounds of crossbow shooting, the accuracy was greatly improved, and the highest score reached 98 rings, a young general named Sha Jin, with a barbarian face, tall and mighty, with a colorful hero headband on his head, a leopard skin waist guard around his waist, and his long hair was scattered, with a total score of 179 rings, ranking first temporarily.

The rounds of archery went on non-stop, and five hundred strong men had already come out to open their bows and arrows, and the game was halfway through in an instant. Among them, only Hu Zhen Hu Wencai, who is ranked 326th, has a score of 182 rings; Surpassing Shakin's 179 rings.

Chen Long hit the half-time break, and the twenty people selected from the special forces, under the leadership of Li Tong, went on the field to perform the crossbow technique. I saw that the movements of twenty people were uniform, and with Li Tong's command, two consecutive crossbow arrows were loaded at the same time, and when they were fired, it seemed that two off-string sounds broke out at the same time, and forty crossbow arrows shot out at the same time, hitting the arrow target.

When all the candidates looked intently, they saw that on each arrow target, there were two crossbow arrows neatly tied together, and without exception, they were all tightly tied to the red heart. This miraculous performance made the hearts of the candidates present shake, and cheers, cheers, whistles, and applause burst into flames, and those spies mixed in the team could not help but re-evaluate the quality of Chen Long's troops. For most of the wall grasses, realizing the super combat power of Chen Long's team is also yearning, and they gradually strengthen their determination.

The special forces show has passed, and the first group of the second half is on the field one after another. Zhang He's serial number is No. 519, which happens to be on the field in this group. Chen Long looked at Zhang He from a distance and saw that although he was of medium stature, he was a tiger's back and a bear's waist, with a calm bearing and full of confidence, as if he had the aura of a famous general. Zhang He's bow is obviously a strong bow brought by himself, the shape is simple, longer than the ordinary bow body, and the thick steel strings are fastened at both ends, and it looks like a hard bow of more than five stones.

Zhang He took the ten iron arrows, put them in front of him in twos and twos, and knelt on one leg, which was actually a kneeling posture, so that it was convenient to reach out and take the arrows. Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Who is this?" I want to shoot two or two in a row. ”

Chen Long knew that Zhao Yun didn't know Zhang He, and said with a smile: "Zilong doesn't know, this is Gao Lan's friend, called Zhang He and Zhang Junyi." I directly called him to be an official but didn't come, he had to take the exam, he was capable. Zhao Yun nodded yes, stared at Zhang He tightly, and quietly waited for the issuing officer to give the order.

As soon as the flag fell, Zhang He directly recognized the two arrows, and shot out of the beads, and he didn't look at the results, he reached out and took the other two arrows, and the shots were shot out in a row, and the ten arrows were shot in a moment. When everyone looked carefully, they saw that the nine arrows in front of him were all in the middle of the red heart, and the last arrow was also falling to the red heart, but because the arrow feathers at the red heart were too dense, the tenth arrow and the front arrow tail rubbed slightly, the direction changed, and the position of the nine rings was pierced. The audience let out a cry of regret.

In the next crossbow arrow, Zhang He hit a full ring, only hitting the red heart. In this way, his total score reached 199 rings, temporarily surpassing Shajin and ranking first.

Chen Long personally led Zhao Yun onto the field, the two of them had two white horses, both of them were silver robes and bright armor, ordinary characters were splendid, and they held a strong bow. The guards and the officials who watched, seeing Chen Long and Zhao Yun going down in person, all knew that the lord was going to take action in person, shocking the crowd, and he was about to feast his eyes, and he spared no effort to applaud, the slap was about to be smashed, and his throat was about to burst. Huang Gai even played the drumstick himself, and the rapid drumbeat pushed the atmosphere to the most.

The drum beat stopped suddenly, Zhao Yun took the lead and galloped out quickly, Chen Long's flying dragon followed closely behind, and both of them had a pot of ten iron arrows hanging from their backs. The speed of the horse instantly increased to extreme speed, Zhao Yun took the lead in raising his hand, an iron arrow had already recognized the strong bow, and he didn't look at the arrow target, he shot it out casually, the arrow flew straight to the red heart like an eye, and it was about to be pierced on the red heart, and suddenly another iron arrow came first like lightning, and at the moment when Zhao Yun's iron arrow was about to reach the red heart, the arrow target was blown into pieces.

It turned out that Chen Long's internal strength was strong, and the speed of the iron arrow was extremely fast, and everyone only felt that the arrow target had been shattered. Ten targets in a row, Zhao Yun suddenly hid in the stirrups, suddenly looked back at the moon, exhausted various postures, and tried to prevent Chen Long from predicting the arrow targets he was going to shoot, but they were all fired first by Chen Long's iron arrows, and the ten arrow targets were shot into pieces.

The quiver was exhausted, Zhao Yun violently reined in the horse's head, the white horse man stood up, Zhao Yun directly threw away the strong bow, and laughed: "The lord is mighty!" The clouds are not as good as that. ”

The onlookers, whether they were officials, generals, soldiers, candidates, or ordinary people, were deeply shocked by Zhao Yun and Chen Long's archery skills. Zhao Yun lifted weights lightly in high-speed sports, and the arrows he shot casually only hit the target, which was already a first-class martial art; How do you know that there are more strong hands among the strong, Chen Long's iron arrows are also in high-speed movement, so they can only come first, and at a long distance, they can use their strength to smash the arrow target, I am afraid that they can shoot the general's chest in the millions of troops, which can't help but make people feel afraid. Who would dare to swagger in front of such a terrifying opponent?

"The Lord is mighty! The Lord is mighty! After a moment's pause, the men's shouts rang out, and even the generals under Long Chen were shouting hoarsely. It wasn't until Chen Long and Zhao Yun disappeared under the banner of the Chinese army that the cheers gradually stopped.
