Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Tianjing Chapter 68 Contest (4)
When one of the soldiers saw that they were ready, he lifted the barrel with the bow and arrows. In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, Yi Yue only prepared a wooden cylinder, and all the feather arrows were placed in it, and the two of them took out the feather arrows from them, and they didn't have to worry about any small means.
"General Shang, please first." Shuhu Zhuo let Shang Tianyin shoot first.
Although Shang Tianyin was shocked by the fact that the Magic Tiger was able to open a six-stone bow, he still had plenty of confidence in his own target. Since Shuhu Zhuo wanted him to go first, he didn't shirk it, took the five-stone bow in his hand, and walked to the middle of the field.
He squinted at the wooden handle in the distance, his target was the one on the left, too far away, he could only see a looming approximately, there was a full twenty zhang distance between Shang Tianyin and the target, and the weeds half a human height or even higher were swaying in the wind, not to obscure Shang Tianyin's gaze.
"Can you see the target?" The person who questioned was a soldier of the three guards, and the commander of the fourth battalion of the three guards he questioned, Pan Xia.
Pan Xia shook his head and said, "You can see it, and you will definitely miss a few arrows." ”
"Commander Shang can shoot."
Pan Xia thought about it for a while, and then replied in a circle of curious eyes: "Of course you can, if you don't believe it, just look at it." ”
Shang Tianyin picked up the first arrow from the wooden barrel and placed it on the bowstring, he held his breath, looking for a shortcut to the target in the air. He opened the bow, the green tendons on his temples burst out, and the onlookers watched his movements, and they also involuntarily slowed down their breathing.
When Guo Yi saw Shang Tianyin's actions, he naturally said secretly in his heart: This Shang Tianyin really has some kung fu. And Wen Boyan, who had been frowning, saw Shang Tianyin draw a bow and arrow, and his brows were stretched, and he was still very confident in his old friend.
Wen Boyan shot an arrow, and the sound of breaking through the air was sharp, like the chirping of some kind of bird of prey. The arrow was as swift as lightning, turning into a white spot of light that pierced through the target made of straw and wood. The soldier who recorded next to the target saw an inconspicuous white light and shadow leaving a circular hole in the target, and it was difficult to find the arrow again.
The soldier held high the signal flag in his hand, and everyone was jubilant and cheered loudly when they saw this.
The sadness on Wen Boyan's face at this moment was completely put aside, and his face was proud. Shang Tianyin's first arrow was so perfect, it was an impeccable beginning.
Shang Tianyin was not disturbed by the hustle and bustle of the outside world, he picked up the second arrow, pulled the bowstring, and shot!
And the soldiers at the target once again raised the signal flag. The crowd cheered like a tidal wave.
The third arrow, the fourth arrow, the fifth arrow...... Tenth arrow.
Every time Shang Tianyin made a move, he provoked a burst of cheers around him, and in response to them was the signal flag held high in the hands of the soldiers.
Shang Tianyin finished shooting the tenth arrow and put down his hand. His forehead was covered with sweat, and his hands trembled slightly in a way that was difficult to see with the naked eye. Even he was a little unsustainable after shooting ten arrows in a row with a five-stone bow.
Guo Yi took the initiative to look at Wen Boyan and said, "General Shang's archery skills are amazing, and the three guards under his command probably have the strength to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps." ”
Wen Boyan heard the real admiration in Guo Yi's words, and said: "Hahaha, Guo Zongbing praised, what is the strength of the three guards, you can feel it yourself in the future." ”
Pan Xia and a group of soldiers of the three guards around him were the most excited at the moment, and their commander was in the limelight on such an occasion, which was a huge honor for the entire three guards. At this moment, they rushed out of the crowd and went up to help Shang Tianyin out, Shang Tianyin shook off their hands and said, "I can still walk by myself." ”
He walked past Shuhu Zhuo and looked at Shuhu Zhuo without a trace of surprise on his face: "Are you ready?" ”
Shuhu Zhuo didn't speak, but walked directly to Shang Tianyin's position just now, and took out an arrow from the wooden barrel, this is his answer.
When everyone saw Shang Tianyin's ten arrows, they were naturally looking forward to the skill of Shuhu Zhuo. The person who can test the archery art with Shang Tianyin should also be a master, not to mention that he has just opened a six-stone heavy bow.
Shuhu Zhuo closed his eyes, and quickly recalled in his head what Shuhu Mu had said when he took him to hunt in the grassland, to keep your hands steady and your eyes accurate...... One by one, simple words appeared in front of me, obviously a long time ago, and the memories were so clear.
He opened his eyes suddenly, and the flames rose in his eyes, and the soldier who carried the wooden tube up only felt that the young man in front of him had suddenly changed his momentum, from a harmless sheep to a tiger sharpening his claws.
Shuhu Zhuo filled the four-stone bow in his hand and shot an arrow. The sound of this arrow breaking through the air was like a thunderclap in the clear sky. Mo said that it was the soldiers who were watching, and even Shang Tianyin, who was going to Wen Boyan's side, also turned his head with a stunned expression on his face.
There is such a record in "The Record of Emperor Wu": Shooting up to hunt Xiaohu Mountain, when the sky is clear, suddenly hearing thunder, accompanying the eunuchs, all of them have a great change in complexion. Di An Dao: I once taught the imperial general, and his feathers and arrows stretched the strings, and the sound was like thunder, and its power was even greater than today. Later, everyone followed the sound and saw a young man holding a tiger skin bow.
Emperor: Who is your father?
The young man held a bow and arrow, stood with a long body, and said: The world's first-class hero.
Although this is just an exaggerated legend, the royal family has always had amazing archery skills, and the generals of the Jin Army who died at the hands of three generations of grandparents and grandchildren are unknown.
At this moment, hearing a sound like thunder, everyone was stunned, thinking that it was Yuhuzi who was coming.
When everyone reacted and looked at the other side, Xu An had already waved the signal flag in his hand, he was afraid that the people here would not be able to see clearly, and he jumped up and down, as if he was showing off something. At this moment, a fist-sized hole had been broken on the wooden target beside Xu An, and the thunderous feather arrow of the Shuhu Burning could really be regarded as piercing the target. And the soldiers next to Shang Tianyin's target were already a little stupid when they saw such power.
"Mr. Guo's students are really extraordinary." Wen Boyan's face turned gloomy again, but he complimented him.
"Haha, where, where, it's just a matter of controlling the oil." Guo Yi said modestly.
The voices of the onlookers were somewhat strange, and most of them were intimidated by the powerful force that erupted from such a small body. Several of the bold ones had already begun to run towards the target, wanting to see what had become of the target that the Tiger Scorching had hit.
The Magic Tiger Burning emptied the interference of foreign objects, and shot out bows and arrows one after another.
Ten thunderclaps in a row resounded over the wasteland. The onlookers finally reacted from their astonishment and cheered one by one.
And Shang Tianyin's face was like ashes, just by hearing such a voice, he knew that he was defeated today, thinking of the Great Yi Sword on his waist, Shang Tianyin felt a chill.
Xu An waved the signal flag ten times in a row, but there was only one wound on the wooden target, but the fist-sized hole was now as big as the bottom of the pot, and with a few more arrows, I was afraid that the target would break from it!
At the beginning, the soldiers who ran to the target were shocked when they saw the big hole in the bottom of the pot, and if such an arrow was shot at a person, wouldn't an arrow kill a person.
Shuhu Zhuo put down the bow of the four stones, there was not a drop of sweat on his forehead, but his face was a little red, he walked out of the competition venue, and the crowd parted from it, leaving a way for him.
Shuhu Zhuo walked up to Guo Yi and saluted, "Teacher, I'm done." ”
Guo Yi nodded, looked at Wen Boyan, and said, "General Wen, both sides have been hit by ten arrows and love you, you see how this is good." ”
Wen Boyan didn't speak yet, but Cui Yi, the old thing who touched the fish, stood up and said, "Since this is the case, it is better to even if it is a draw." ”
Although Shang Tianyin's face was like ashes, but after all, his spirit was still there, and he only felt that Cui Yi was slapping himself in the face with this, and said: "Ten arrows are all hit, so naturally the wound on the target is not standard!" ”
Wen Boyan did not refute Shang Tianyin, but waved his hand and asked people to take the two targets.
When the two targets were brought to the public, the sound of inhalation came and went.
Compared to Shang Tianyin's round little wound, the big hole like the bottom of the pot was too terrifying.
Guo Yi nodded with satisfaction, he was also surprised in his heart, Shuhu Zhuo actually had such a powerful archery skill, and immediately asked: "General Wen, look at this ......?"
"Guo Zongbin won." Wen Boyan said this and left here, while Shang Tianyin left as if fleeing as soon as he saw the target.
His archery has dominated the Quartet Army for twenty years, and suddenly a hairy boy came and knocked him off the altar, and he couldn't bear it.
Xu An patted Shuhu Zhuo's shoulder excitedly and said, "I can't see that you still have two brushes!" ”
Shu Hu Zhuo scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
