Chapter 653: Skill Overpower
The so-called mounted archery refers to the archer holding a bow and arrow on horseback, galloping within a range of 500 paces, and shooting at a target in the middle of the field without stopping. Riding archery is also www.biquge.info ten arrows, and the archer can shoot at any target where he passes, but the archer cannot turn back, and must shoot these ten arrows when he has completed the 500 steps.
Mounted shooting is scored differently from fixed shooting, that is, the score of mounted shooting is doubled. For example, if you shoot a red heart, you will be counted for 20 points, if you hit an orange circle, you will be awarded 18 points, and if you hit a white circle, you will be awarded 2 points.
According to the scoring method of mounted archery, it is easy to distance the scores of the participants.
Three thousand Imperial Guards were dispatched at the same time, moving all the targets in the shooting field to a position of 100 paces from the passage.
Although the shooting field is spacious, because each person needs to gallop within a range of 500 steps, only 20 people can demonstrate mounted archery at the same time, and after one group of people shoots, another group of people can go on the field.
Mounted archery requires not only superb archery ability, but also superb horseback riding skills, and it is difficult to get good results if either of the two levels are not good.
Song Qi found that although everyone was riding and shooting, the speed of riding horses was fast and slow, some people were riding on slow horses and missed an arrow, while some people were riding on galloping horses and were hit by arrows. The gap is too great.
Since the princes were all performing mounted archery in the eastern area, Song Qi didn't know how the princes were performing, and could only see the wonderful performances of the horses in the western area.
A man in his thirties, Song Qi later learned that it was the county horse Chai Jun, who shot five arrows in succession on a galloping horse, and the arrows hit the target, one red, two green and two blue, and suddenly performed a kick to hide, shooting five arrows in a row from the horse's belly, one blue, one purple and two white, one empty, and the hall applauded.
A twenty-three or four-year-old man, Song Qi later learned that his name was Meng Xiaoren, after shooting five arrows in succession and getting one red, two blue and two black, he suddenly jumped up and stood on the back of a galloping horse, and shot five arrows successively, one blue and four black, full of amazement and admiration!
Zhan Dazhao also won one red, three green and one gray in the front five arrows, and suddenly jumped up and stood on the back of a galloping horse, shooting five arrows one after another, all five arrows were gray, and the people in the audience exclaimed.
After the big horse Mu Huan won two red and three blue results in the front five arrows, he suddenly took a hood to cover his entire face, and put five arrows one after another blindfolded on the galloping horse, he shot it completely by feeling, it was actually one orange and one white, although the three arrows that were empty did not hit the target, but it was not far from the target, and everyone saw the thunderous applause, after all, people shot blindfolded.
Song Qi found that those people didn't seem to care about the score of mounted archery, but did their best to perform a variety of difficult mounted archery positions.
Isn't it said that the results of mounted archery are more important? Why don't they seem to pay attention to it?
Song Qi thought about it for a while, and quickly understood that although the arrow test was also ranked by score, they paid more attention to their own level of performance. The first five arrows prove their score, and the last five arrows show people their true level.
Presumably, the princes of the Eastern District also performed like this.
Riding and archery has no advantage for Song Qi, because his horseback riding skills are not yet at home, and he can't do these horse postures at all. He quickly thought in his heart about how he should behave in order to distance himself from the crowd and stand out.
Song Qi was in the tenth batch to play, and soon it was his turn to play, and the calmness when he shot just now was swept away, and his heart was beating suddenly, as if there were a few rabbits bumping around.
There are those people who are so superb in the front, now don't talk about distancing yourself from them, don't be distancing yourself from them and be Amitabha! He muttered worriedly in his heart.
Now the only advantage he can use is Lianyu. Lian Yu can shoot ten arrows at a time, he can shoot these ten arrows faster than others, and he can better grasp the timing of the arrows, he thinks that if the ten arrows are evenly shot on the ten targets, if all ten targets are hit in the heart, then he can completely get rid of the disadvantage of poor kung fu immediately.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Song Qi was arranged to demonstrate mounted archery on the middle passage, so that he could almost be covered by the eyes of the audience.
After Song Qi's horse started to run, everyone in the shooting field watched with bated breath, and the emperor also stretched his neck on the high platform to look down, and even the other nineteen people who demonstrated at the same time also stopped there to watch, looking forward to the skill of the first person to shoot at the same time, and the shooting field was not heard, only the sound of Song Qi's horse hooves was heard endlessly...
I saw Song Qi sitting on the back of a galloping horse, lifting the chain and pulling the trigger five times in a row on the five targets he passed.
"Bang~Bang~" After five sounds, an arrow was hit on the five targets at the same time, and each target was hit by the red heart.
"Five Red Hearts!" There was a burst of cheers and surprise! The emperor shouted loudly on the stage: "Wonderful! Great! ”
Song Qi was about to continue to pull the trigger, when suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he saw a flock of geese flying from the western sky, just flying over the shooting field.
Song Qi had an idea, hurriedly raised his repeater, galloped from his horse, and released five arrows into the sky with his head up. At this time, Song Qicai galloped less than a third of the distance, and of course he still had time to adjust the direction of his shot.
"Papapa~"
When they landed, the flock of geese was frightened and flew away, and several geese fell into the field one after another.
Immediately, under the command of Emperor Liang, two eunuchs rode horses from the high platform and flew to the scene to check the number of wild geese and the number of red hearts.
And they waited for the eunuch's report. Everyone else is counting from the Imperial Guards. Song Qi was treated differently because he shot down the geese.
In less than half a cup of tea, the eunuch reported with a sharp voice: "After the Song horse is finished, ten arrows hit five red hearts, plus nine geese!" ”
When everyone listened, they applauded, shouted, and admired! Suddenly, the field was like an explosion, and the sky was boiling! I've never heard of two eagles with one stone, I've never heard of nine geese with one arrow, although Song Qi is a lian, and he shoots five arrows, but he didn't add another arrow after all.
If Song Qi's grades were one red and nine oranges or something, most people would definitely be jealous, but Song Qi's grades were five red and nine geese, and most people were no longer qualified to be jealous. Of course, there are also angry and jealous people, but these people are a minority after all, and most of these people are those who want to be the first.
At this time, there was also chaos on the high platform, and the prime minister Gongsun Shang and other officials congratulated Emperor Liang one after another: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!" Song Juma has such a stunt, which is really the joy of the emperor and the blessing of the princess! The luck of the Great Liang Country! God really help me Liang Guoye! ”
Liang Huanglong's face was overjoyed, his heart was full of joy, he smiled, and said in a loud voice: "All the ministers are happy!" ”
Meng Ren's face was purple, and the corners of his mouth twitched a little, and he didn't echo the congratulations.
At this time, everyone knew in their hearts that the red robe belonged to Song Qi, and there was no suspense anymore. (To be continued.) )
