Chapter Forty-Eight: The Yang Clan
The last time the arrow was compared was five years ago, at the Yunmengze hunting ground on the outskirts of Yingdu of Chu State. Since the Yang clan is a famous family in the Chu State, this competition is related to the decision on the patriarch of the Yang clan, so the people of the Chu State are all onlookers, and even the King of Chu Ling came to watch with his ministers. This competition is the most famous archer in the clan, Yang Youji's 100-step kung fu, which is a must in every competition in the Yang clan, and it is also a kung fu that the people in the Yang clan must master.
I saw that the five brothers of the new generation were lined up, and a large poplar tree stood in the wind a hundred steps away, and the branches swayed. At the end of a branch, a red rope was tied, and a piece of turquoise jade was tied to the red rope, the size of a leaf, swaying up and down. And not far from the jade is a target, the rules of the competition are that a hundred steps away, the arrow must pass through the jade and hit the bull's-eye. If one of them cannot be completed, it will be eliminated, and then the difficulty will be increased, and another jade bi will be added one foot behind the jade bi, and the arrow will pass through the two jade bibs to hit the bull's-eye. And so on until the winner is decided.
As the eldest brother, Yang Shooting Day is the first to appear. I saw him walk to the archery place and stand still, as steady as Mount Tai, his clothes fluttering in the wind, sassy and heroic.
With a "whoosh", a feather arrow passed through the jade bi and hit the bull's-eye steadily. The clan elders saw it and nodded frequently, and the girls in the clan were even more ecstatic. Yang Shot Hinatal Clan elder saluted and retreated. Then there was the shooting of the moon, which also shot through the jade bi and hit the bull's-eye, but the tail of the arrow swept the inner wall of the jade bi. Raising a star and raising a shooting star also shoots arrows through the jade and hits the bull's-eye. When it was his turn to raise the night, I saw that his body was slender, and the willows were weak, and he was like a woman. Yang Archery stood at the archery place at night, did not aim, and shot an arrow casually, the feather arrow did not touch the jade, only swept to a poplar leaf on the edge of the jade, and then the arrow also hit the bull's-eye. The clan elders couldn't help but sigh and shook their heads, and they all said: Usually night archery is the most accurate, why did it play abnormally at such a critical moment? They couldn't figure it out. The people scoffed at the performance of Yang Shooting Night, and only one of them kept looking at Yang Shooting Night and smiled, and when Yang Shooting Night shot that arrow, the man nodded in admiration, he was Yang Shooting Night's friend Gong Lost Day.
Immediately, the clan elders announced that they were out of the game at night, and added another jade bi a foot behind the jade bi, and this time the competition was to kill two birds with one stone.
"Wait!" Gong Yi came out and said: "I don't think there is any need to compare, it is the night of raising and shooting to win." β
"Don't be like this, brother." Yang Jiye hurriedly stopped: "You know what I think. β
"I know, but I also want to let these people see who is the number one magic arrow in the world." As he spoke, he pulled out the arrow that raised the night and handed it to the elders, only to see that the arrow was wearing a moth. The clan elders suddenly realized that they had just seen a moth flying by, but somehow suddenly disappeared, it turned out to be raising and shooting at night, which fully proved that the archery skills of raising and shooting at night were much more accurate than the other four.
The elders of the clan are in trouble, whether they are better or not. According to the rules, raising the night is losing, but if you want to say whose archery is accurate, then the night is the most accurate, and the etiquette should be to raise the night to be the patriarch, and the clan elders can't decide for a while.
"What are the rules and regulations, I think the archery method of raising the night is the most accurate, and he is the patriarch." King Chu Ling said casually: "Hahaha, you kid is really handsome. King Chu Ling glanced at Yang Shooting Night, and he didn't know whether he was talking about Yang Shooting Night Shuai or his archery handsomeness.
"The king shall not." Yang Jiuye hurriedly shouted: "According to the rules, I can't be the patriarch. β
"What? Do you dare to disobey my orders? "King Chu Ling said.
"Even if it is a king, if he is wrong, as a subordinate, he should not blindly obey it, but refer to the mistake of the king." Yang Shooting Night said awe-inspiringly, and Gong Yi secretly applauded next to him.
King Chu Ling sneered, looked left and right, and pointed at Yang Jiuye, not knowing what to say. Since he ascended the throne, only Shen Wuyu and Piercing Fengshu have bumped into him face to face, and this Yang Shooting Night in front of him is the third. King Chu Ling felt that Yang Jiu Ye was cute, and then deliberately said: "Clan Elder, what do you think, is what this king said right or not?" β
"If you follow the rules handed down by the Yang clan, Yang Ye can't be elected as the patriarch." An elder of the Yang clan said slowly: "However, if you taste it carefully, the rules handed down by the Yang clan are essentially to see who shoots the most accurate arrows. However, the patriarchs of the Yang clan have shot arrows through the jade, and Yang Shooting Ye is different from the patriarchs of previous dynasties this time, and Wei Chen really doesn't know whether Yang Shooting Night should be elected as the patriarch, it all depends on the king's decision. β
King Chu Ling said in his heart: Dead old man, play Tai Chi with me. So he said, "You mean to say that this time the king has the final say." So good, raise the night and you will be elected as the patriarch of this generation. β
"Your Lord, if the rules you have set before are not obeyed and you change them at will, will your subjects still be convinced of you? Yang Shuye said: "Please forgive Ye for not following the king's orders. β
"What the clan elder said just now is very clear, how can what this king said not count. If you are stubborn, you are not afraid that this king will kill you? β
"I have my own rules, and I can't obey my fate."
The two were frozen for a while, and the more King Chu Ling felt that Yang Ye was cute. In fact, King Chu Ling didn't want to kill Yang Jiuye, and Yang Jiu Ye was really not interested in the position of patriarch, so he deliberately didn't shoot jade. But the archer, when the arrow is off the bowstring, it will be hit, and when he raises the arrow at night, he happens to see a moth flying by, so he unconsciously aim. The feather arrow flew out and hit the bull's-eye, all in one go. After the arrow was fired, no one would find out about the night of the shooting, but I didn't expect that I didn't hide from my friend Gong Day, and it was said.
"The King." Xiong Qiji, who was on the side, said to the king of Chu: "If you don't want to be the patriarch of Yangjuye, there must be something unspeakable, so it's better to let Yangjuye only hang the name of a patriarch, and the specific affairs of the patriarch are in charge of Yangjuri, if there is anything important that cannot be decided, you can discuss it with the clan elders, what do you think?" Then Xiong Qiji leaned into the ear of King Chu Ling and whispered, "In this way, you will not lose face, and you will not openly oppose you in order to abide by some of the rules and regulations of their family." With the strength to support our families, we still need to dominate the Central Plains. β
"Hmm." King Chu Ling thought for a moment and said, "That's it." Now you have nothing to say, if you don't agree, it will be too bad to give face to this king. β
Without waiting for Yang Jieye to answer, Xiong Qijian was afraid that he would be straight-hearted, so he refused King Chu Ling again, so he continued: "Great King, the junior brother was ordered to attack Cai Guo, and he is short of manpower, why don't you let Yang Jieye follow the younger brother?" With the help of Yang Shooting Night, the capture of Cai Guobi is just around the corner. After speaking, he looked at the night envoy.
"Okay, so that you can also take the Cai State as soon as possible and expand the territory of our Chu State." King Chu Ling was very proud: "Haha, from now on, you will follow the disease and obey his orders, so decided." β
Yang Ye Xin said: That's the only way, if you disobey the king's order again, it will not be good for the Yang clan. So he agreed, named the patriarch of the Yang clan, and followed Xiong Qijian to the front line of Cai State. The specific affairs of the Yang clan are managed by Yang Shooting Day, and the Yang Clan members are appointed as the patriarch.
Now, the news of Yang's death in the night battle was sent to the Yang clan as soon as possible, and the whole clan was angry with the enemy, and they were bound to avenge the patriarch. After the discussion of the family meeting and the judgment of the clan elders on the current situation, it was determined that Xiong Qiji would be the next generation of Chu kings, and for the benefit of the Yang clan, it was decided that the four brothers of the Yang clan would lead the whole clan soldiers, more than 2,000 people, to rush thousands of miles to aid Cai Cheng to fight against the prince and strike the enemy.
Everyone in the Yang clan shoots amazingly, and Zhan Wuxian arranges them as backups, and he will never fight easily until he has to. For this reason, the soldiers of the Yang clan also complained a lot, saying that Zhan Wuxian looked down on them.
Once, Zhan Wuxian led the four brothers of the Yang family to inspect the city defense, and was familiar with the situation of Caicheng's defense against the enemy, and accidentally came to the corner of the city and saw an inconspicuous wooden house. Zhan Wuxian thought it was strange that he hadn't noticed that there was a house at the foot of the city before. So, Zhan Wuxian and the four Yang brothers walked into the wooden house and saw that there were ten large wooden boxes side by side in the house, and strange talismans were carved on the outer skin. Zhan Wuxian recognized at a glance that it was a kind of character dedicated to the public day, and there was a curse mark of the public loss family between the characters, and people who didn't understand the curse mark couldn't open the wooden box. When defending the country, Gong Yi once taught Zhan Wuxian to use the wooden machine flying beast, so he learned some Gong Lose spell marks, so the spell marks on the wooden box are difficult to defeat Zhan Wuxi. Zhan Wuxian walked over, and pointed a few times on the public loss spell seal with both hands, and saw that the wooden box was slowly opened, and the faΓ§ade was all filled with gold and bronze flying beasts refined by the public loss day, one was only one inch square, and it was more than eight taels in his hand.
Although Zhan Wuxian has never operated the Golden and Bronze Flying Beast, he has controlled the Wooden Machine Flying Beast. Zhan Wuxian picked up a gold and bronze flying beast, touched the bypass, drew inferences, and pressed a square protrusion on its head with his index finger, and the gold and bronze flying beast immediately stretched, with wings on its back, like a flying bird, and it grew to the size of two zhang in a short time, breaking the wooden house. Zhan Wuxian jumped up, controlled the golden and bronze flying beast to soar into the sky, flew in a circle in the air and fell back to the same place.
"It's wonderful. Although the male brother is gone, there are still so many good things left. Zhan Wuxian said: "Ladies and gentlemen, these golden and bronze flying beasts are really equipped with the magic arrows of the Yang clan, and the combat power of the Yang clan has not only increased by one level. β
"Yes. The patriarch of the night raised the night used to be with Mr. Gongyi Day, and the two worked together seamlessly, giving full play to their respective strengths, and I don't know how much great work they have done. "Raise the sun.
"In that case, I will pass on to you the mental method of controlling the Golden Bronze Flying Beast."
"This is the best, with these gold and bronze flying beasts, I am still afraid of setting up corpse beasts, what tiger-eating flying beasts. We can also avenge the patriarch as soon as possible. β
As a result, Zhan Wuxian first passed on the mental method of controlling the golden and bronze flying beasts to the four brothers of the Yang clan, and then they passed it on to the soldiers of the Yang clan. In less than half a month, all the 2,000 soldiers of the Yang clan had learned to drive the Golden Bronze Flying Beast, and they had practiced for another five days to make their control skills more proficient.
When Gongzi defeated the enemy and saw that the corpse beast pawn was attacking on the ground without progress, he sent the Tiger Eater Flying Beast to attack from the air, and at this time, he was trying his best to block the corpse beast pawn, and there was no time to clone it. Zhan Wuxian gave an order, and sent the newly trained Yang clan soldiers, piloted the golden and bronze flying beasts, rushed up, and fought with the tiger-eating flying beasts in the air.
I saw the two thousand soldiers of the Yang clan driving the golden and bronze flying beasts into the air, and the upper, middle and lower layers were suspended and lined up, bending their bows and arrows, aiming at the tiger eating beasts that were gradually approaching, and they were waiting for the battle. When the Tiger Eater flew within the range of the feather arrows, Yang Shooting Sun shouted, "Release." "Two thousand Yang clan soldiers released arrows at the same time, two thousand arrows went hand in hand, and when they flew halfway, each feather arrow shook up and down, and it changed from one to three, and the two thousand feather arrows immediately became six thousand feather arrows, and they were shot into the Tiger Eating Beast Array together. At the same time, thousands of crossbow arrows from the other side have also been issued, and the rain of arrows on both sides hit each other and penetrate, a spark flashed, and then there were bursts of screams, and the tiger-eating beasts and corpse beasts were hit by arrows and landed one after another.
"Scatter." Raise the day of the order of the shooting. The two thousand Yang clan soldiers spread out up and down, left and right, and the middle spacing expanded, dodging the flying crossbow arrows, while the gold and bronze flying beast wings rolled up, blocking the crossbow arrows from being shot, and protecting the Yang clan soldiers on their backs. Even so, some of the Yang clan soldiers were still wounded by arrows, but they still continued to fight until they died in battle.
After a wave of crossbow arrows, "Hey! "Yang Shooting Day ordered, and the two thousand Yang clan soldiers formed a three-layer formation in the upper, middle and lower layers." Enter! "Yang's arrow array moved forward, and when it was one stone's throw away from the Tiger Eater Flying Beast, Yang Shooting Sun ordered the arrow to be released again. In this way five times, the tiger-eating beast was gradually driven out of the city wall of Caicheng several miles away.
Seeing this, Yang Shooting Day felt a burst of self-joy in his heart: Childe's defeat of the enemy is nothing more than this, and when the tiger-eating beast is eliminated, you can deal with Childe's defeat of the enemy and avenge the shooting night. Just thinking about it, suddenly there was a big chaos behind the Yang's arrow array, it turned out that I don't know when, the tiger-eating flying beast went around to the Yang's arrow array, surrounded it, unexpectedly, crossbow arrows shot indiscriminately, raised clan soldiers, defenseless, killed and injured a lot, fell down the gold and bronze flying beast, and fell.
"Listen to me, Matrix, Matrix." Yang Shooting Day shouted urgently. I saw that on one side of the formation of the Yang clan soldiers, a huge cube was formed, confronting the sphere composed of the tiger-eating flying beasts on the periphery, with the outer circle and the inner square, constantly rotating, all waiting for the opportunity to annihilate the other party.
"Put!" With an order, the Yang clan went from the inside out, the tiger-eating beasts and the corpse beasts from the outside in, and thousands of arrows were fired together. Then there was a spark shining, wind and thunder roaring, and a huge fireball exploded. The loud noise shook the ground battlefield, the corpse beast pawns stopped attacking, and the Caicheng coalition army also stopped blocking and looked up at everything that happened in the sky, and thousands of corpses fell from the smoke one after another, smashing into the ground battlefield.
More than half of the Yang clan was killed and wounded, and the feather arrows on their bodies had also been shot. "For the honor of the Yang clan, Bright Sword!" Yang Shooting Day pulled out his sword: "Kill!" "Lead the few remaining Yang clan soldiers to rush towards the Tiger Eater Flying Beast and the Corpse Beast Pawn, and fight them hand-to-hand, and in a moment, the Yang Clan was completely annihilated, and the Tiger Eater Flying Beast and the Corpse Beast Pawn were also killed and wounded, and could no longer form an effective threat to the sky above Cai Cheng.
