The venue for the competition is temporarily borrowed from the three military exercise grounds of the Beida Camp of the Forbidden Army, all three of which are located outside the Chenqiao Gate in the north of Bianjing, and hundreds of temporary tents have been erected, and 3,000 soldiers are responsible for maintaining order.

Early in the morning, the two military exercise grounds of A and B have been surrounded by tens of thousands of people in Bianjing, the soldiers continue to push the people, maintain order, the people with small horses can sit in front, and the empty-handed people can only stand behind, many hawkers see this business opportunity, have to sell the horses, the original 30 yuan a handful of horses rose to 100 yuan, the business is very hot.

In addition, there are mobile stalls and vendors selling all kinds of food, which makes the originally cold and lonely Beidaying lively.

The place of the competition is the first and second two drill grounds, and the third drill ground is the place of registration and lottery, thousands of arrow warriors gather here to wait, and a large sign is erected in the west, and there are soldiers who change the serial number on the sign to notify the samurai on the drill ground to enter the arena to participate.

Today, Li Yanqing, Wang Gui and Niu Gao will participate in the infantry bow elimination competition, Yue Fei and Tang Huai were not selected by the martial arts, and could only cheer for the battle as spectators, in the northwest corner, several partners were gathering together to chat.

Wang Gui scolded angrily: "Martial arts is even more shit, the forbidden army has no selection at all, if you want to participate in the competition, you can sign up directly, anyone can participate, what kind of selection does martial arts still do, only forty people are selected out of two thousand martial arts scholars, and the brains of these officials are eaten by dogs!" ”

Wang Gui was upset with Yue Fei and Tang Huai, Yue Fei and Tang Huai were both disqualified from the trials, of course, he was also dissatisfied with himself, he also signed up for mounted archery, ranked twenty-second, almost he was qualified to participate in mounted archery, only participating in infantry archery was obviously looked down upon, and even he was disgusted.

Yue Fei smiled, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you participate or not, it's just a foil anyway, if you don't participate, you will give me time to ask Master Xu for marksmanship, I can't ask for it!" ”

Li Yanqing saw that Wang Gui was about to scold again, so he smiled and said to him: "Agui, tell me the rules again, I have been a little confused in the past two days." ”

Wang Gui's scolding was interrupted by Li Yanqing, and he had to stretch his face and said: "All the cavalry warriors will first participate in the infantry bow elimination competition, and take a thousand people to enter the cavalry archery competition, and the eliminated cavalry warriors can participate in the infantry bow competition with the infantry bow warriors. ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, this stinky boy is estimated to be angry when he travels to the next generation, and he feels uncomfortable not scolding a few words, he saw Tang Huai shaking a fan on the side and laughing without saying a word, and as soon as he raised the bar with Wang Gui as usual, he asked strangely: "Brother Tang's comments on Agui are not high-minded?" ”

Tang Huai smiled slightly: "If you don't want to, you really can't!" ”

Niu Gao explained to Li Yanqing on the side, "Your thorny ring, your brother promised to give it to Brother Tang, but the condition is that you are not allowed to talk back to him within a month, and if you say a word, the ring will be gone, Brother Tang finally endured it for ten days, but he didn't want to give up his efforts." ”

At this time, there was a commotion among the warriors next to him, and everyone looked back, only to see two teams of dozens of people entering the field with a fierce atmosphere, they were all fierce, wielding leather whips and whipping indiscriminately, Tang Huai whispered to everyone: "The samurai wearing black lacquer armor in front is the quiver of the Liaoguo Palace Tent Army, we have seen it back then, and the cavalry wearing gilt bronze armor behind it is a six-class straight cavalry archery master in the Western Xia Imperial Siege." ”

Everyone remembered the situation when they went to the county to participate in the supernatural power competition when they were children, and the arrogance and ferocity of the Khitan barbarians were deeply rooted in their hearts.

Wang Gui scolded in a low voice: "The Khitan barbarians and the party barbarians, a raccoon dog!" “

Li Yanqing also recognized the leader of the Western Xia cavalry at this time, it was the gold sa who had fought with him in the alum tower, and saw that his bow was also quite large, at least two stone bows, no wonder it was the head of the six classes, the pot and arrow were not popular in the Western Xia, but this gold sa could kill the generals of the Northwest Army one by one on the pot and arrow, indicating that his attainments in archery were very high.

However, Li Yanqing was also strange that the kettle and arrow competition in Alum Tower did not spread at all, it was like a cannon battle exploding, it was very loud for a moment, and then it disappeared.

There were already many people on the exercise ground, and the Liao and Western Xia warriors wanted to ride horses to break through, and everyone was dissatisfied and refused to give way, the Liao cavalry was in a hurry, and the Liao cavalry general who led the team shouted and scolded in Chinese, "You Han dogs, get out of the way!" ”

The surrounding warriors were furious when they heard his insults, and they all pulled out their swords, Wang Gui and Niu Gao were even more angry, the two of them rushed to the top of their heads, and they pulled out their swords together to rush forward, Li Yanqing and Yue Fei hurriedly grabbed them, Wang Gui scolded: "How can the dignified Song Jingshi allow Hu Dog to be arrogant!" ”

Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "This kind of trivial matter is not laborious, our General Wang Gui personally went out and asked the pawn Li Yanqing to clean him up!" ”

Everyone's eyes lit up, knowing that there was a good show to watch, Li Yanqing casually picked up a stone from the side, and with a wave of his wrist, the stone hit like lightning, 'Bang! With a sound, the left cheek of the Liao general in the middle, although the stone was small, but Li Yanqing's strength was great, and the Liao general shouted, turned over and fell off the horse.

All the warriors around laughed, and the subordinates behind him helped him up, only to see that his face was covered with blood, covering his left eye in pain, the corner of his left eye was cracked, and blood flowed out, and the cavalry of the Liao State drew their swords one after another, and they were so angry that they jumped like thunder, looking for the perpetrator in all directions, but there were thousands of cavalry warriors on the left, and no one knew where this stone came from?

At this time, an official ran and shouted to the Liao State and the Western Xia cavalry with great dissatisfaction: "The time for the game has passed, and we are waiting for you to draw lots in the end, if you don't go again, you will be deemed to have given up!" ”

The Liao cavalry could not find the perpetrator, so they had to put away their knives with hatred and follow the officials to the big tent.

Wang Guimei smiled, and praised with a thumbs up: "It's still Lao Li's trick that is powerful, killing people quietly, if only he used a flying knife quenched with poison." ”

Li Yanqing kicked it away, "Lao Tzu is not as ruthless as you!" ”

Tang Huai pouted, "Our Agui hasn't killed anyone yet!" I don't know who is ruthless? ”

"Go!"

Li Yanqing glared at him, "I will lose the bottom line principle for the sake of a ring, and I won't give you any good things next time." ”

"Ahh I said the wrong thing, you are all bodhisattvas, so it's okay for me to be ruthless! ”

The four of them laughed together, but Niu Gao didn't laugh, he was a little stunned when he saw Li Yanqing's flying stone stunt for the first time.

.........

'Boom! Boom! Boom! With the beating of the drums, the Bow Knockout Contest officially began, and the Bow Horse Contest lasted for four and a half days, the first day was the Bow Knockout Competition, and only 1,000 people could enter the Horse Archery Competition; The second day is the first round of elimination, one out of five people will be eliminated, 800 people will be eliminated, and 200 people will enter the semi-finals.

On the third day, the cavalry and archery semi-finals were held, with one out of five, forty people reaching the finals, and the top 10 on the fourth day.

The morning of the fifth day was the climax of the whole archery competition, with a ten-man competition for the first place in the archery competition.

The first is the infantry bow knockout competition, such as Wang Gui and Niu Gao, who only participate in the infantry bow competition, the arrow warriors who only participate in the infantry bow competition have a bye today, the infantry bow knockout competition is limited to the participation of mounted archers, and most of the 7,000 mounted archery warriors will be eliminated, and many of them will turn their heads and compete with the infantry warriors for the rematch quota of the infantry bow competition, which is the reason why Wang Gui is extremely dissatisfied.

Li Yanqing has been watching the number plate on the big sign in the distance, and every time he will notify three hundred samurai to enter, he is two thousand three hundred and forty-five, and it will soon be his turn to enter.

At this time, a new round of competition numbers appeared on the sign, two thousand two hundred to two thousand five hundred, Li Yanqing's time was up, he handed over the war horse to Wang Gui, and ran quickly towards the entrance.......

Li Yanqing checked the number at the door, and then walked into the exercise ground, 300 people lined up in a long line to receive bows and arrows and race numbers in turn, riding and archery can use their own bows and arrows, but foot archery is not good, they are all unified eight bucket bows, each person receives a bow and ten arrows.

Li Yanqing quickly received the bow and arrow, he first looked at the position, the twentieth stack, Li Yanqing tried the bow again, the eight-bucket bow was a little lighter for him, but it was barely usable, so he walked quickly to the twentieth battlement with the quiver on his back.

There are a total of 30 seats, 10 players in front of each position, they line up to shoot arrows, he must shoot 10 arrows within the specified time, the distance is 60 steps, the bow horse competition implements a scoring system, and the riding archery is scored according to the accuracy, difficulty and the conditions of the archer himself.

The step bow is relatively simple, shoot the red target in the inner circle for the top, shoot the yellow target in the circle for the top, shoot the blue target in the outer circle for the middle and upper, off the target for the bottom, according to the experience of the previous session, at least six on and four on to have a chance to get the qualification to enter the riding and archery competition.

Li Yanqing ranked sixth, and at this time, the top five were over, none of these five people could get six tops, and the one with the best results only had three tops.

"Next!"

Li Yanqing stepped forward quickly and handed his exam card to the registrar, there were four examiners in each position, two scoring, one timing, and one registration, the examiner looked at the exam card, and couldn't help but glance at him, it was actually too a student, but it was rare.

The examiner registered his information, Li Yanqing, Tai Student, No. 2345, at this time, the two scorers changed to a new target, and the timekeeper lit the timing incense, the incense is very fine, only about two inches high, and it can be burned in ten minutes.

"Hurry up and let's get started!"

Li Yanqing stepped forward, he pulled out an arrow and put it on the string, took a deep breath, and pulled the bow suddenly.
