Chapter 42: Child's Play
On the first day of the bow and arrow assessment, there were only more than 200 people who finally passed, and these people who failed to pass the archery skills directly lost the qualification to continue, and there was still a cheerful atmosphere during the day, but at night it was crying everywhere, nearly half of the elimination rate, and it was only the first game, which made a group of candidate generals full of enthusiasm and longing for the future instantly poured ice water.
Facts have proved that whether it is in the art of war or martial arts, there are always only a handful of people who can pass the test.
It was only at this time that most people reacted that there were only 60 people in the selection quota this time, and these 60 people had to be selected out of more than 400 people, and there would be about one in seven people.
"Mo Lang, your archery skills are really good!" Cui Geng sat on the couch with a tired face, it was not a joke to draw the bow thirty times, he was just tired at the time, and at night, his whole arm was very sore.
"There's some talent." Chen Mo leaned against the wall, he was also very tired, he was almost out of strength at that time, and until now, his entire right arm still can't lift his strength.
"Tomorrow is a foot combat competition, like this, how to fight with people?" Cui Geng rubbed his arm and said helplessly: "I don't know if it will be delayed for a few days?" ”
"Probably not." Chen Mo shook his head: "I'm afraid that eunuch doesn't know what we're waiting for, and the new army has arrived, I'm afraid there won't be so much time for me to rest." ”
From the moment he entered the West Garden, Chen Mo sensed a sense of anxiety from Gao Shun, obviously this time the talent was in a hurry, and judging from today's archery assessment, I am afraid that the eunuch did not know the strength of the bow at all, and only thought it was very simple.
"I'm thinking a little bit about that thief!" Cui Geng suddenly laughed.
In the past, Gao Shun called their criing father and mother every day, but he did things at least in proportion, and he would not be as messy as Qian Shuo, but now Qian Shuo doesn't understand anything, so he came to command blindly, and on the first day, they lost all their combat power, and tomorrow's competition, I'm afraid there will be jokes.
Chen Mo nodded, but this is a good thing for himself, because no matter how tired he was the day before, he can always recover the next day, and for others, it is not easy to recover, at least tomorrow's combat power will be greatly reduced, so that he will have more opportunities.
Of course, Chen Mo didn't tell anyone about this, just got up and took off his coat and said, "Rest early, maybe you can recover more tomorrow." ”
After speaking, he began to worship the system immortals, this is what he must do every day before going to bed, Cui Geng and other people who sleep with him are not surprised, these years, there are people who believe in everything, but the system immortal is which god with horns and horns? I've never heard of it.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, when more than 200 people who had passed the customs yesterday gathered here, they looked in the direction of Dianjiangtai, and their eyes were somewhat resentful.
Some of the arms are swollen, in this state, how to fight?
"Cough~" Qian Shuo naturally felt this resentment, and coughed lightly: "Yesterday's competition in archery, in addition to the examination of archery, there is also the examination of strength, congratulations on your successful passing, today's assessment, you will take turns to fight, and finally select one hundred and twenty people for tomorrow's horse battle." ”
Alternate matchups? One day?
Hearing the news, everyone was shocked, how can this be compared?
"Shuogong!" Wang Yue looked at Qian Shuo with some embarrassment: "The soldiers pulled thirty bows in a row yesterday, and their strength was exhausted. ”
Wang Yue could almost imagine that if they really took turns to fight, in the end, I am afraid that these people would be wiped out.
"Mr. Zirui also wants to question the official's policy?" Qian Shuo looked at Wang Yue dissatisfied.
"Shuogong!" Wang Yue was a little helpless and a little angry, but he still pressed the tone in his chest and bowed down and said: "There are more than 200 people here, if you take turns to fight, I'm afraid everyone will need to fight with more than 200 other people, although this is not a battlefield fight, but you need to go all out to win, even if you fight a game, you may exhaust your strength, who can fight more than 200 people in a row?" ”
"This official has heard that the former Xiang Ji has the power to carry the crown!" Qian Shuo frowned.
"Shuo Gong, what kind of person is Xiang? It has only come out for thousands of years! Could it be that Shuogong thinks that all soldiers are not national? Wang Yue was a little desperate, people are different from people.
Qian Shuo actually didn't think about it at all, and when he heard this, his brows frowned slightly, and he thought: "Since this is the case, let's catch and fight in pairs, choose half of them first, and if there are less than one hundred and twenty people, choose from the remaining people." ”
Wang Yue nodded helplessly, although it wasn't very good, but at least it was more reliable than fighting in turns.
At that moment, Wang Yue looked at the soldiers and said: "Shuo Gong's words, you should also hear them, fight in pairs, and the winner can compete in tomorrow's horse battle." ”
This West Garden selection general, originally Wang Yue agreed to come over, is to see if there is a chance to let himself also enter the career, now it seems that this West Garden selection will be in the end, like child's play, in the end not to be jointly punished is already good, take this opportunity to enter the career, he is not extravagant, just want to end quickly, back to the palace to continue to teach the prince swordsmanship.
The soldiers in the school field were in an uproar when they heard this, is this really the selection of the West Garden? Is it really the Son of Heaven?
Even those who are conceited and brave are also muttering at the moment, this is too child's play, right?
Chen Mo was a little bored when he heard this, and this time the West Garden selected the generals, I am afraid that it will end in a farce.
I was about to find an opponent at random to pass the test, my shoulders sank, and I turned my head to look, but it was the man who was chattering behind him yesterday, and his brows were slightly furrowed: "What do you mean?" ”
"Hey~" The strong man laughed: "Today, how about a certain person to fight you?" ”
"Don't deceive people too much!" Cui Geng, who was on the side, heard this, frowned and looked at the other party angrily, this shows that he is here to bully people.
"Okay!" Chen Mo was also a little annoyed, stopped Cui Geng, looked at the other party and said, "It's up to you." ”
Thinking that I might be able to work with this person in the future, it is better to kick this person out first.
If it was yesterday's fight, Chen Mo was not sure, although the other party's head was not very good, but if it was about fighting, whether it was physique or strength, it was not comparable to Chen Mo today, and the half-month masochistic training made Chen Mo improve to a certain extent, but the gap between them was difficult to make up for in a short time.
In this way, although Qian Shuo is ignorant, but yesterday's incident has done Chen Mo a great favor, he is now full of physical strength and his body is smart, but although the other party is strong, it is difficult to recover overnight.
"Hey~" The strong man was happy when he heard this, the best bully in this camp seemed to be the youngest, and immediately pulled Chen Mo into the school field together, there were weapons made of solid wood on the weapon rack for people to choose from, he reached out and took a wooden lance with the heaviest weight, although it was wooden, but the weight was not light.
Chen Mo chose a wooden sword, not that he couldn't use anything else, but if he fought on foot, the lance was too cumbersome, but it was not easy to cast, and the sword was light, but it was easier.
"You have a choice?" The strong man looked at the wooden sword in Chen Mo's hand, a little disdainful, although he was also from a wealthy family, he didn't think much of the sword.
"Don't say more, finish the fight quickly, I'm tired!" Chen Mo beckoned to him, he was really tired, not physically, but mentally tired, originally full of ambition and wanted to show his strength in the new army, but the fact is that the Son of Heaven has ambitions, but in terms of employing people, this eunuch is really difficult to take on the big task, what this new army can eventually become, it's really hard to say, he has to think about the future now.
"Then I'll send you down." The strong man was not angry, he had already won this battle, and when the immortal showed the way, he stabbed the long lance in his hand to Chen Mo's chest.
This style should have been magnificent, but his right arm was too fierce yesterday, and he was weak at the moment, so this move naturally became a little soft, and Chen Mo easily avoided it, followed by his steps, and grabbed it closely.
One inch long and one inch strong, one inch short and one inch dangerous, this truth, most people who practice martial arts understand that the advantage of the long lance is in the distance, and Chen Mo wants to win him, he has to bully close, the strong man wants to retreat, but Chen Mo is extremely fast, in the blink of an eye, he has quickly stepped closer, the wooden sword in his hand is connected, the strong man only feels a pain in the tiger's mouth, instinctively let go of the palm, the wooden lance landed, Chen Mo's wooden arrow has been pointed at the throat of the strong man with a confused face.
"You've lost!" Chen Mo didn't even look at the other party, and turned his head to look at the general who was responsible for deciding the winner on the side of the school.
"Chen Mosheng!"
It wasn't until the general's voice sounded that the crowd around the battle reacted, followed by a commotion......
