Since the participants in the archery competition are all masters in a thousand, it is natural that such a non-difficult event as vertical shooting is not listed. Lai Shan saw that all the princes were full of interest, and when he thought of the gambling contract that took human life as a bet, he may not have a little consideration in his heart. He glanced at Feng Wuxian again, and then he made a suggestion: "Ladies and gentlemen, there are only two archery competitions in Naadam this time, mounted archery and long-distance shooting. Seeing that everyone is so interested, this king suggests that the three winners be selected in the end and perform another round, and how about the winner be decided by the opinions of all the princes of each department? ”

Prince Suotu couldn't help but be stunned, and then he realized his carelessness just now. He glanced at the leisurely Feng Wuxian over there uneasily, and then reluctantly agreed: "Lord Lai Shan's suggestion is good, we are all noble people, of course we can't leave all the things judged to those subordinates, it is better to add a round of exhibition matches at the end." ”

Ketuzer showed a noncommittal expression, obviously disgruntled, but he was probably very confident in Tegu, and he did not say anything against it. The princes of the other tribes naturally did not object to Lai Shan's proposal, and in their opinion, the more intense the competition, the more unpredictable the consequences, the better, otherwise their opportunity to take advantage of it would be gone.

The preliminaries are just going through the motions, whether it is Shi Zong or Tegu, or Lang Ning, who is subordinate to Prince Suotu, his archery skills are not comparable to those ordinary warriors, so none of the arrows missed the target in the three rounds, and the arrows fell on the red heart of the target, ushering in bursts of colorful sounds.

Feng Wuxian watched coldly, and saw that the ordinary herdsmen or senior generals who participated in the competition were just depressed, while the archers sent by the princes of various ethnic groups were like ashes. He remembered Eli's previous words, and his heart couldn't help but feel a pang. It seems that on this grassland, human life is also like a mustard.

In the eyes of those high up in the eyes of the princes of the upper land, if the so-called warriors cannot increase their glory. There is only one death, that is, to escape with one's life. It will not be reused again in the future.

"Zixu, you are optimistic, if there are those who are better but unfortunately out, you can write them down." Feng Wuxian turned his head sideways and whispered to Xu Chun, "They can't look down on the ground." Lone won't let go easily, it's really a tyrannical thing! A sneer of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth, he didn't know that cherishing his subordinates could still make people die, this was really an incredible strange thing for the people of the Central Plains. He casually glanced at Ke Tuce over there, and when he saw his determined appearance, his doubts couldn't help but become even stronger.

In the end, there were only 12 finalists, and only one of them participated in the competition in his own capacity, which could not help but attract the attention of the princes. However, the young herdsman was still quite young, and the horses under his seat were nothing more than ordinary goods. So no one expects him to come out on top in the final. Shi Zong and Tegu both smiled, reaching out from time to time to caress the love horse under the seat, and even the bow and arrow on their back looked extremely extraordinary. Ronning had a deep look. There was no expression on his face, he didn't have a good master like Tegu and Shizong, and if something went wrong, he knew that Eli would never let him go.

The little-known young herdsman was naturally the first to strike. Seeing that his feet were clasped in the belly of the horse, he rushed out, the hard bow in his hand was fully opened, and the first arrow was shot out in an instant. It was only after the horse had rushed out a dozen paces that his second arrow could be shot, and the third arrow was a little exhausted, and although it barely missed the target, it was still far from the red heart, which made his face immediately darken.

The target position in the final was 20 steps back from the preliminaries, so even the players who performed extremely well in the preliminaries were mediocre in this round, and after the young herdsman, three shooters in a row missed the target with one arrow, which immediately aroused a burst of regret.

Tegu gently rubbed the powerful bow that was almost connected to his flesh and blood, and a sinister aura gradually appeared on his face. He had completely disappeared with the hippie smiles of the others just now, and the only one who appeared in front of everyone was the general who had fought on the battlefield for many years and beheaded countless people. He suddenly raised his head to the sky and shouted angrily, and galloped out on horseback. I saw that he didn't need to hold the reins at all, relying purely on his legs and stirrups, but still able to maintain an astonishing high speed. Picking up arrows, pulling bows, aiming, letting go, every movement seems swift and incoherent, and even those who hate him to the bone have to admit that this Dzungar general's archery skills are indeed extraordinary.

The people on the high platform could only hear three soft pops, and those with good eyesight could see three arrows appear on the bullseye in the distance, almost all of them close to each other without a single gap. The heaviest Mongolian man is a person with high art, and at this time, without waiting for the prince on the high platform to react, the young people watching the battle have already burst into applause.

Langning, who appeared next, did not panic at all, and the art of riding and archery pays attention to calmness, which can take people's lives among the armies. He sat down on his horse steadily, took a deep breath, and shot three arrows in a row, the same in a row, and it was even the same as Tegu, and even the position of the three arrows on the bull's-eye was almost the same. He glanced demonstratively at his opponent, and then rode back to his original position.

In order to show respect for the crown prince of the current dynasty, Shi Zong, who appeared on behalf of Ling Yun, was the last in line. He had already seen the performance of everyone before, and his expression had not changed at all, but the essence in his eyes was even more vigorous. He didn't follow Tegu's angry shouting, and galloped out on horseback, and the speed was incomparably faster, two points faster than everyone before. Not only that, but he actually took out three arrows at once, and shot them with swiftness and incoherence like a bow. The judge standing next to the target heard almost only once, and three sharp arrows appeared above the bull's-eye at the same time, and only the slightly trembling arrow feathers reminded people of the wonderful archery just now.

The crowd watching the battle suddenly boiled, and every year in Naadam, although there are masters one after another, there are only ones who can use such a method to appear. This time, they were able to see such a miraculous skill, and they suddenly forgot that the archer just now was a Han Chinese, and the cheers were almost deafening.

Lang Ning's face suddenly became even more gloomy, there was once a Han archery master in the Suotu Department, so he had also experienced this kind of thaumaturgy, and even studied it for a while, and finally gave up because of his lack of talent. If it was normal, he would definitely come forward and humbly ask for advice, but at this moment, his heart has sunk to the bottomless abyss. Just a Teguta is not very sure, and he is vain about this Han man who can't even eat the depth.

"Three rounds have only passed one round, and the event just now is really exciting, and Lone was stunned. People say that there are many warriors in the grassland, and this is true. Feng Wuxian saw that those princes were a little shocked on their faces, and couldn't help but say, "Besides, there is a long-range shot after the riding shot, and it seems that there will be a vicious fight this time." ”

Lai Shan's youngest son Bhutto couldn't help but show a subtle expression on his face, his mind was not on the game at all, he only cared about the success or failure over there. He peeked at An Zhiruosu's eldest brother Keltai not far away, and his expression showed a little cruelty. What about the son, as long as the father and the king say a word, they can make Keltai lose that position. If we take the opportunity to make a little difference, I'm afraid that the Kurten Ministry will have to change the principal. He suddenly caught a glimpse of a henchman in the crowd making complicated gestures towards him, and his heart was overjoyed, now all he had to do was wait until the end of this archery competition.

After the three-wheeled shooting, except for Shi Zong, Tegu and Lang Ning, the rest of the people fell behind. After all, each round will move the target back twenty steps, which is extremely difficult to consider for arm strength and crosshair, so the final round is almost just a performance of the three men.

When it came to the round of long-range shooting, the previous players were determined to be stable, after all, it is always more glorious to hit the target than to miss the target. However, the first young herdsman resolutely chose 200 steps, 220 steps and 240 steps in his three rounds, and all nine arrows were on target, which attracted people's admiration. After all, with his ordinary bow and arrow, it was extremely rare to have such an achievement. Many princes on the high platform even inquired about the origin of this person's name and surname, trying to bring him under their command.

Seeing that the three of them were the last to appear, Tegu couldn't help but walk towards Shi Zong and Lang Ning with a smile on his face. "The two of you are really good archery, but the top three must have been won by us, how about hiding a little clumsy in this long-range shooting competition?" When he saw the two of them frowning, he continued to himself, "I might as well suggest that the three of us use the distance of three hundred and fifty steps, four hundred steps, and four hundred and fifty steps?" Presumably, the two of them will not challenge the difficulty of 500 steps? ”

Shi Zong nodded indifferently, agreeing to Tegu's suggestion, and Lang Ning also nodded in agreement after hesitating for a while. After all, he played after Tegu, and the opponent couldn't do anything. There is no need to take out the skill of pressing the bottom of the box at this time, it is only right to impress the most important princes at that time.

Rao is like this, the distance of 350 to 450 steps still makes the people watching the battle frightened, it is not child's play. An ordinary strong bow can shoot two hundred paces, but only those arrows made by famous craftsmen can shoot far away. The nephew of the Khan of Karatu, who dominated the entire steppe at that time, also Song Ge, once shot an arrow 500 steps away, which was commemorated by a monument. And now that the warrior with such deep arms can no longer be found, it is already terrifying that someone has challenged 450 steps this time.

Due to Tegu's request, the last three appeared at the same time, and the distance between the targets was exactly the same, which made everyone on the high platform a little stunned. However, everyone knew that the final battle was an exhibition match, so they didn't say anything to ask, only Prince Suotu glared at Ketuce with hatred, obviously thinking of the mystery.

The three of them took their arrows and bows at the same time, and the three arrows came out of the string in no particular order, and at the same time hit the target three hundred paces away, followed by the second and third. Until the target moved to 450 paces, the last arrow of the three of them remained firmly in the bull's-eye. This superb skill is undoubtedly amazing, and the usual rare scene actually happened to three people, and the crowd watching the battle was silent, and it took a long time to burst into a burst of applause.
