The noisy school yard was surrounded by soldiers, and more than 13,000 people gathered around the school yard in a large area of black pressure.

Liu Jizong, Xi Yan, Du Gui and others are gearing up, the last military duel lost to Yuanhe, Du Gui and others have been haunted, that time they lost too aggrieved, the power of the cavalry of the Right Guard Army was not brought into play at all, this time the individual competition must win the jackpot anyway.

Xi Yan said to Liu Jizong and Du Gui with a calm face: "Two brothers, there are Yuan He and Hua Mulan and others in front of the cavalry battle, as well as other generals and colonels of the three armies, many of them are strong in martial arts, and my brothers are only afraid that it will be a little difficult to win the ranking, I think we should give up the cavalry and focus on competing for the ranking of the cavalry and archery, what do you think?" ”

Liu Jizong was a little unhappy: "I said Brother Xi, as the saying goes, there is no first in literature, no second in martial arts, this has not started yet, why are you afraid?" What about their martial arts? We're not muddy! ”

Xi Yan immediately said: "Who said I was scared? This is a person who knows the times as a junjie, and he knows that he can't do it, but he still has to be strong, isn't this self-deprecating? I don't care what you do, I only participate in mounted archery competitions! ”

"Alright, I'll join the cavalry! I still don't believe that I really can't fight Mulan and Genga! Brother Du, what about you? ”

Du Gui has personally learned Yuanhe's martial arts, he knows his own family affairs, he is not Yuanhe's opponent at all, where is he willing to take the initiative to send it to the door to give Yuanhe a beating?

"I'll choose to shoot too! Brother Liu, if you want to choose a cavalry battle, we will support you, I believe you will definitely be able to defeat Mulan and Genhe! ”

These words made Liu Jizong's heart feel a lot more comfortable, and a slight smile appeared on his face, "Okay, then it's decided!" ”

The competition is a round-by-round selection, and everyone can go on the field to test shoot, and if they meet the requirements, they will advance to the next round.

In the distance, a row of arrow targets was erected, and thousands of cavalry gathered outside the cavalry shooting area, all of whom were soldiers and generals who wanted to participate in the competition, and a referee walked to the high platform next to him and shouted: "Ten arrows per person, ride a horse and shoot a round, and the one who hits the target with five arrows advances to the next round!" Now the person in line with the most meets gets on the horse and enters the riding area, and the second one is ready! ”

After the door to the cavalry area was opened, a cavalryman stepped onto his horse and rode into the cavalry area, and under the guidance of a referee, he came to the starting point.

The referee ordered: "Contestants can start!" ”

The knight took off his riding bow, and drew an arrow and put it on the bowstring, and the horse under his crotch galloped forward under the instigation of his legs, and he shot an arrow at the distant target on the side while riding his horse, and after shooting one, he quickly drew a bow from the quiver and continued to shoot, continuously, shooting seven arrows in a row, and three arrows ran to the end without finishing the shot, according to the regulations, he could not turn around and shoot again, and waited for the result under the signal of the referee here.

"No. 1 shoots seven arrows, one arrow hits the target, six arrows shoot empty, eliminate!" The magistrate announced the result loudly.

Runner No. 1 rode away gloomily.

Three more cavalrymen then took part in the competition, but the best of them all shot eight arrows, hit three arrows, and missed five arrows.

This result made the magistrate a little annoyed, and he stood on the high platform and shouted: "People must be self-aware, and if you can't shoot more than three targets, don't participate, so as not to embarrass people and delay everyone's time!" Next Entry! ”

Originally, many people came to join in the fun, and it was also in the spirit of feeling the atmosphere and exercising their psychological quality under such a big scene, but the magistrate's words made many people embarrassed to stay here anymore, and many people retreated and turned around and left.

Mounted archery is a very technical way of fighting, it is much higher than the requirements of the foot archer, because you can only use the arm strength, can not mobilize the strength of the legs and waist, the range is much shorter, plus itself on the horseback bumps, the hit rate will drop several levels, this is definitely a need for talent, but also need to study hard a technical work.

After some of the soldiers who planned to join in the fun rode away, the rest of the contestants thought that their riding and archery skills could still be on the table, and riding and archery did not depend on skill, sometimes luck is also very important, and it is not uncommon for luck to hit ten arrows in one breath.

Therefore, many of these people who are left want to try their luck.

"Next!"

Mulan said to Oiran, "It's your turn, go quickly!" ”

"Yes!" Oiran clenched his fists, stepped on his horse and ran into the riding area.

Zhao Junsheng stood aside and asked, "How is Oiran's riding shot?" ”

"His results are relatively stable, generally ten arrows can shoot nine arrows, hit about five to six arrows!"

While the two were talking, the Oiran had already begun, and his riding skills were not bad, and he used his legs to control the horse, and his hands were completely free for firing his bow and arrows.

Running to the end of the track in one go, Oiran also shot nine arrows, and there was no time for the remaining arrows.

"Huaishuo Town Oiran shot nine arrows, hit six arrows, and three arrows missed the target, advancing to the next round!"

The soldiers of Huajiabao next to him all jumped up and applauded, Oiran was the first of the people in Huajiabao to be successfully promoted, and the others were naturally happy for him.

Zhao Junsheng did not participate, and none of the people in the baggage camp participated in the individual competition, and they were not very familiar with the rules, so he asked: "Mulan, when will you enter the field?" ”

"The competition of the officer colonel is scheduled for tomorrow, and the soldier and the officer colonel are separated, and the soldier will be screened for three rounds before the officer and the colonel will be combined to compete together!"

"I see!"

Hua Mulan turned around and asked Zhao Junsheng: "Brother Junsheng, now your martial arts and riding archery should not be weaker than me, why don't you participate?" ”

Zhao Junsheng shook his head and smiled: "I'm a baggage soldier, what's the use of winning the first place?" ”

"That's not necessarily, maybe the marshal appreciates your talents, recommends you to the emperor, and entrusts you with important tasks?"

While the two were talking, Xue An came over with a soldier, "I've seen the captain and the general!" ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded and asked, "You also came to see the excitement?" ”

Xue Andu pointed to the soldiers beside him and said: "Captain, this is Cao Jiao, a soldier under his subordinate, who thinks that his riding and archery skills are passable, and wants to come to participate in the riding and archery competition, so I brought him over!" ”

"Oh?" Zhao Junsheng looked at this armor soldier named Cao Jiao, and had some impressions of this person, seeing that his body was taller than that of ordinary soldiers, and his arms and arms were also long, thick and powerful, and he should have practiced archery.

"Okay, there are people in my baggage battalion who want to participate in the cavalry archery competition, of course Captain Bendu supports it, you go and participate, as long as you can get into the top ten, Captain Bendu will be rewarded! If you can enter the third and you want to leave the baggage battalion and transfer to the garrison army, Captain Pontus will also strongly recommend it to the military master! ”

Cao Jiao bowed down and clenched his fists and said: "Thank you for the support of the captain, the kid just wants to come out and show his face and fight for our baggage battalion, lest those Chinese troops and the garrison army think that our baggage battalion is a group of useless mud legs!" ”

"Oh? It seems that you have a lot of ambition! Zhao Junsheng smiled to himself as he spoke, "I didn't expect that my baggage camp was really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger!" Okay, Captain Pontus remember, you go to the race first! ”

As more and more soldiers participated in the competition, there were also many people with superb riding and archery skills, and the best results were able to shoot ten arrows and hit nine arrows.

Cao Jiao was already lined up, and soon it was his turn, after he got on the horse and ran into the riding shooting area, under the referee's order, he hit the horse and galloped forward, but he didn't even aim, he pulled the bow and shot, his right hand kept taking arrows from the quiver, kept opening the bow and shooting, and shot ten arrows in one breath.

The results came out soon: "Cao Jiao, a soldier of the heavy battalion of the Huaishuo Zhenjun Army, shot ten arrows, and all of them hit the target!" ”

"Boom!" There was a commotion among the generals, this is the best horse archery performance so far, and this person is still from the baggage battalion, which is a bit shocking.

The mud legs of a baggage battalion actually have such a ability, they are more powerful than these town guards and right guard soldiers, you must know that the town guards are all children of soldiers, there are fields and horses at home, and there are no birds on weekdays, there is a lot of time to practice martial arts and horse archery, and the right guard soldiers are all transformed from tribal soldiers, and they are all people who have lived on horseback since childhood, so they are much stronger than these mud legs of the baggage soldiers, right?

But now these town garrison and right guard soldiers have been defeated by a baggage soldier, how can this not be shocking?

Zhao Junsheng laughed, lined up on Cao Jiao's shoulder and said, "Hahaha······ Brother Cao did a good job, and greatly boosted my morale! ”

"Thank you, Lieutenant, for your appreciation!" Cao Jiao saluted and returned the horse to Xue Andu: "Yingtou, thank you for lending me the horse for me to compete!" ”

"Wait!" Zhao Junsheng shouted, "You still borrowed this horse from Xue Andu?" ”

"Let the Captain see it smile!" Cao Jiao was a little embarrassed.

Zhao Junsheng immediately instructed Li Bao beside him: "After returning to the camp later, go to the stable and choose a BMW for Cao Jiao!" ”

"Yes, Captain!"

Cao Jiao was a little embarrassed to accept it, "Captain, this ······ It's too expensive for the villain to take it! ”

"How can you not accept it? You have greatly increased the morale of my baggage battalion, so that the people of the garrison army and the right guard army will look up to us, this is a great achievement, I said that I will accept it, if people know that you, a cavalry archer with a hundred shots, do not even have a horse of your own, will not let others laugh at my baggage battalion? That's it! ”

When Cao Jiao saw Zhao Junsheng say this, he was very enthusiastic, so he had to agree: "Then thank you Duwei, the villain is grateful!" ”

Hua Mulan kept watching from the side, she was also very curious about this Cao Jiao, this person without a horse actually rode and shot kung fu so well, ten shots and ten hits, if it was a foot archer, it would be nothing, and it would not be easy to ride an archer ten shots and ten hits, this is by no means a chance to do it, which shows that he has real skills.

After Cao Jiao and Xue An left, Zhao Junsheng asked Mulan with a smile: "This is the opening of your eyes, right?" My baggage battalion is also talented, are you sure you can beat him in mounted archery? ”
