Chapter 652: The Arrow Test Begins

"I announce, the arrow test begins!"

Meng Ren glanced at the shooting field and announced loudly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Hearing Mengren announce the start of the archery test, all the participants picked up their bows and arrows, and one by one they walked out of the brocade canopy, archery is a compulsory course for them, and no one will have stage fright. Half of the people stood on the one hundred and twenty steps on the left and right sides of the passage facing the target, and the other half walked to the passage in the middle of the shooting field under the guidance of the Imperial Guards, and stood in reverse in the corresponding position.

The scoring rules for the arrow test are: 10 points for hitting the heart in the middle, 9 points for hitting the orange circle outside the heart, and so on, 1 point for the outermost white circle of the shot, and zero points for missing the target. Each person shoots 10 arrows, 120 steps and 150 steps each shoot five arrows, and finally the total score of each person is calculated. Everyone knows this, and there is no need for Meng Ren to explain.

"Whoosh~"

"Papapa~"

The bowstrings on the archery field kept vibrating, and countless arrows flew back and forth in the archery field, forming countless lightning bolts, and the sound of hitting the arrow target came and went, and all the sounds converged like thunder that continued to rumble and roll.

Song Qi was not in a hurry to shoot arrows, but stood there calmly, looking around to the left and right to watch others shoot arrows. He found that Zhan Dazhao's location was more than a hundred steps away from him, and there were about a dozen brocade tents in between. Zhan Dazhao did not look at Song Qi, but was engrossed in archery. He is very cautious when shooting an arrow, and when he has finished shooting, he has to move his hands and feet a little before shooting the next one.

Song Qi didn't see the Tenth Prince Liang Mian, who was in the eastern area of the shooting field, a mile away from the western area, and couldn't see who was who at all.

When the people next to him saw Song Qi standing in front of the arrow target, looking around, and not shooting arrows for a long time, they couldn't help but sneer:

"Why doesn't that Song Qi shoot arrows, what are he waiting for?"

"Does he not know how to shoot arrows, and temporarily steal how to shoot arrows?"

"What's the use of cramming?"

"I can't even shoot arrows, and I still want to be the first in the competition, it's really wishful thinking!"

Song Qi heard it in his ears, but didn't take it to heart, just smiled indifferently.

"Song Yuma, the other people's five arrows are almost ready, you shoot the arrows quickly!" The Imperial Forest Army, who was in charge of Song Qi, seemed to be anxious for Song Qi and kindly reminded Song Qi. Although he didn't know Song Qi and didn't have anything to do with Song Qi, but now, since he was in charge of Song Qi's archery, he naturally shared the honor and disgrace with Song Qi for the time being.

"Thank you!" Song Qi smiled and nodded his head in thanks to the Imperial Forest Army, then slowly raised his repeater.

Everyone else bent their bows and arrows, but Song Qi had a hand in his hand, and a trace of worry flashed in the corner of the Royal Forest Army's eyes, and he said in his heart that Song Qima did seem to be a little like a person who couldn't shoot arrows.

The corners of Song Qi's mouth hooked a smile, raised the crossbow to the arrow target, pulled the trigger five times in a row, "pop pap", and in an instant, five arrows came out of the crossbow groove almost at the same time, "puff puff~" The five crossbow arrows were all shot on the red heart, and the five arrows formed a beautiful plum blossom pattern on the arrow target.

When the Imperial Forest Army saw it, he felt incredible, clapped his hands and cheered: "All five arrows hit the red heart, and Song Juma shot too accurately!" He deliberately raised his voice and deliberately said it to those who ridiculed Song Qi.

People on both sides turned their eyes to Song Qi's arrow target, and saw that the five arrows on the arrow target were neatly inserted into the red heart, wiped so neatly, they all looked at Song Qi with disbelief, and wondered if those arrows were inserted by Song Qi with his hands when he walked to the edge of the arrow target with his eyes? Could it be that Song Qi will change the shape and transposition?

Song Qi swept the people on both sides with a smug look, and after the Imperial Forest Army pulled out the five arrows, he retreated to the one hundred and fifty step line and stood still, raised his crossbow again to aim at the bull's-eye, and pulled the trigger five times in a row, and the five arrows hit the bull's-eye at the same time. For Song Qi now, shooting a fixed target is simply pediatric.

"Five more arrows hit the bull's-eye, Song Luma is simply a marksman!" The Imperial Forester jumped for joy, and now he felt very honored to be by Song Qi's side.

The eyes of those people next to him who looked at Song Qi had changed from suspicion and disdain to admiration and admiration. But no one openly expressed their appreciation.

Since everyone shot the arrow almost at the same time, in less than half an hour, the arrow test was completed, and everyone's final score was counted.

Song Qi topped the list with 100 points. Zhan Dazhao scored 96 points, ranking second, Da Ma Muhuan scored 95 points, ranked third, and the eighth prince and ten princes scored 94 points, tied for fourth, with more than 100 people above 90 points, 500 people above 80 points, more than 1,000 people over 70 points, and more than 2,000 people above 60 points.

Since archery is a compulsory course for every royal child, everyone's level is not bad, and the score is not much different. To open the gap, you have to look at riding and shooting.

The emperor looked down on the audience from the high platform, and saw that his dragon sons and grandsons were all heroic and sassy, and his archery skills were wonderful, and he was so happy that he smiled and his heart was full of joy. He asked the eunuch to proclaim more than 100 people with scores above 90 points to the stage, and Wen Yan encouraged him. The emperor first paced to the side of the eighth prince, Liang Qin, and praised proudly: "Eighth child, I can't see that you are not only strong in martial arts, but also so accurate in archery!" ”

"That's all taught by my father!" Liang Qin bowed and thanked him.

The emperor nodded with a smile, and said to the tenth prince Liang Mian: "Old ten, you are not bad, you are about to catch up with your starling brother!" ”

"I'm still far from starling, it seems that I have to continue to work hard!" The Ten Princes seemed to be a little depressed and said.

When the emperor heard this, he nodded and said, "Old ten, work hard, I have a lot of confidence in you!" ”

Then the emperor came to Song Qi's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Nineteen horses, I really can't see that your archery skills are so exquisite, and they have reached the point of hitting every hundred shots!" ”

Song Qi listened, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Thank you for your praise!" It's just a fluke! ”

The emperor smiled and asked curiously, "Your Lian Yu is the legendary Zhuge Lian Yu?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it was made by the minister after Zhuge Lianyu." Song Qi replied respectfully.

"You made it in imitation of Zhuge Lianyu? Not bad! When the emperor heard this, he nodded in appreciation.

"Song Horse can restore the Zhuge Repeater that has been lost for a thousand years, it is really ingenious!" Gongsun Shang praised with a smile, it seemed that he really wanted to repair his relationship with Song Qi.

Meng Ren seemed embarrassed, but there was no expression on his face.

In his opinion, if the arrow test does not eliminate anyone, even if he gets the first place in the arrow test, it will not help the results of the battle, not to mention that the arrow test is only half past the halfway point, and then there is mounted archery, for the arrow test, mounted archery is the most critical.
