And Zhou Jun was named the third to play, Gao Huai glanced at Zhou Jun from afar, only to see Zhou Jun standing there calmly, without any nervousness, so he secretly said that Zhou Jun is now mature, and under the watchful eyes of so many people, he can still be so stable, which shows that his psychological quality is already quite good.

Zhou Jun forgot Gao Huaiyuan in the stands from afar, Gao Huaiyuan nodded slightly, it was an encouragement to him, Zhou Jun took the arrow on the bowstring, his fingers buckled the bowstring, his left arm pressed down, and he opened the bow with heavy breath, his eyes just glanced at the shaking target, adjusted his arm slightly, held his breath, and sent an arrow, and the arrow immediately drew a beautiful line in the air, hitting the bull's-eye of the moving target, which attracted a burst of applause in the field.

And Zhou Jun turned a deaf ear to the noise in the field, wound the arrow again, opened the bow and aimed, the action was done in one go, without any stagnation, three arrows were fired in a short period of time, there was almost no pause in the middle, and the three arrows all hit the bull's-eye, even better than his results in shooting fixed targets, the three arrows were arranged in a zigzag shape at the red bull's-eye, which was clean and neat and made people have to cheer for it.

"Good archery! This son is really a marksman! Liu Zhixian listened to the cheers in the field, and then clapped his hands and shouted.

After Zhou Junsan's arrows were shot, he clenched his fists slightly to the cheering crowd, without any sense of pride, raised his legs and retreated to the side, waiting for the two below to launch arrows.

After seeing Zhou Jun's archery, a person who followed him was suddenly a little deflated, he boasted that his archery skills were good, but at this time he was restless, he wanted to shoot at the arrow target, and it was obviously impossible to surpass Zhou Jun, and it was only after pulling the bow for a long time that he made up his mind to release the arrow, the result was very unsatisfactory, although he also hit the target, the arrow was inserted at the edge of the arrow target, and the arrow feather drooped with a feeling of weakness.

Although he tried to stabilize his emotions in the next two arrows, the results were not very satisfactory, and they basically shot at the edge of the target, and failed to hit the bull's-eye, so that the hope of winning the championship was also dashed.

Only after the fifth place came up, it attracted Gao Huaiyuan's attention, this archer is not tall, but he is very stocky, and he also has an indifferent look, after standing firm, he is as steady as a bell, and he also has an unmoved demeanor, Gao Huaiyuan shouted slightly in his heart, like this, there will never be a mistake like an ordinary person, first of all, such a bearing is related to success or failure, it seems that Zhou Jun has met an opponent.

As Gao Huaiyuan expected, after this person stood still, he raised his head and felt the direction of the wind slightly, and then opened the bow and released the arrows, and shot three arrows in a row in the same way as a quick bow, and then there was a cheer in the field again, Gao Huaiyuan's eyes were sharp, and he saw that this person's three arrows were also in the bull's-eye, and compared to the three arrows shot by Zhou Jun, the arrangement was more dense, so that Zhou Jun was suppressed, don't think about it, with the results he just had, Zhou Jun wanted to win the championship, and there was no hope.

"Good archery!" Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help but scream, raised his hand and applauded to congratulate.

After a while, the results were counted, Zhou Jun was only one ring, and finally lost in the hands of this man, only achieved the second place, Zhou Jun also knew that he had lost, shook his head slightly, but soon returned to normal, stepped forward to congratulate the man, so that the people around him were also impressed, and nodded to express their regret to Zhou Jun.

"Good! I didn't expect that there are really masters in Daye County, such archery is simply a magic arrow, what is this person's name? The officer wants to see him! Liu Zhixian was in a good mood at this time, and he was quite proud that Daye County could produce two such marksmen, so he immediately asked the named priest next to him.

"This person's surname is Dong Mingqiang, he is a person from Lingxiang Township, he is an Orion, and now he is the head of the Lingxiang Township Bow and Arrow Society!" The inquired priest immediately checked the man's name and reported his situation to Liu Zhixian.

"Excellent! In a while, I will personally award awards to this Dong Qiang and that Zhou Jun! Hehe! Liu Zhixian nodded again and again.

"Zhou Jun will be exempted, this time we only set the first name, and he will have no chance!" Gao Huaiyuan immediately said to Liu Zhixian.

"This matter can also be accommodating! This Zhou Jun's archery skills are also quite good, and he should be rewarded with some rewards, so why be so serious? Liu Zhixian always felt that Zhou Jun's archery skills were good, and it was a bit unreasonable not to give some rewards, so he discussed it with Gao Huaiyuan.

"Definitely! Since the rules are like this, you can only do it according to this, the second is the second, and it is absolutely impossible to take care of it! Otherwise, how should the third place be taken care of? This is not appropriate! Gao Huaiyuan immediately shook his head and said.

Liu Zhixian was immediately a little speechless, and after a pause, he had to shake his head and sigh regretfully, feeling a little sorry for Zhou Jun!

And the name Dong Qiang, Gao Huaiyuan also firmly remembered it in his heart, this person who can suppress Zhou Jun and pull out the top in archery art can be regarded as a good player, Gao Huaiyuan is very interested in him, looking at Dong Qiang from afar, and keeping him firmly in his heart.

The next thing is the group attack and defense competition of the archery club, for this kind of competition, the real knife * naturally does not succeed, for this reason Gao Huaiyuan prepared wooden knives, wooden guns and lime and other things for them in advance, and also prepared dozens of sets of thick cotton armor as their protection, and then let the two teams of people who draw lots to fight each other, and finally decide the winner.

This kind of competition is very fresh, and the previous Song army in the performance of the parade is different, this is more aggressive, whether from the viewable aspect, or the actual combat aspect is very interesting, the review is the cooperation between the archers of the various archery clubs, which is very good for improving the coordination ability, but the number of people in this style of play is relatively small, but at least the villagers can effectively grasp the cooperation between their companions in the battle array, which is very good for improving the overall combat effectiveness, after all, when fighting, no matter how powerful a person is, Without the cover of his companions, he fell into the enemy's army, and after all, he still died, and after the mutual cover of his companions, the probability of survival on the battlefield would be greatly improved, which was also the original intention of Gao Huaiyuan to make such a competition.

The draw is in charge of the county government's charge division, each team sent representatives to the lottery to draw lots, discharge each other's opponents, and then fall in order, start the competition, such a competition is more troublesome than archery, wearing cotton armor, choosing weapons, arranging the array takes time, want to end the day is definitely not possible, but this is also expected, the county government has already made preparations in advance, the time of the autumn harvest competition is arranged for three days, enough to complete all the competitions.

When this kind of competition began, the school field was even more lively, the two teams were obviously inexperienced, although they looked good together, but when the two teams rushed together, they were messed up, slashing and killing with knives and guns, and there was no more cooperation at all.

Fortunately, there is a group of referees supervising next to them, otherwise, after someone is hit, he still refuses to play with a wooden knife and a gun, and he fights with his opponent on the field, which almost turns into a farce.

Gao Huaiyuan looked at this chaotic scene in the field, couldn't help but cover his eyes, and couldn't bear to look at it anymore, it seems that the next step is that the archery clubs will strengthen their training in this area! What kind of battle formation is this! It's really not much better than the common people fighting in groups!

As a result, after Guo Liang's scolding in the field, the two teams were pulled away, and they were all eliminated regardless of the victory or defeat, and they were not allowed to participate in the next competition.

Although the guys with blue noses and swollen faces from the two teams were not convinced, because the old men of the county government were there, they didn't dare to make a mistake, so they had to go off the field and go to the side as spectators, which caused a lot of laughter inside and outside the field.

With the experience of the first group, the next situation began to improve a lot, and then the two teams became more regular, and the offense and defense between each other began to have some appearance, and finally got out of the category of fighting, and began to have a certain cooperation when attacking each other, and the participants also became a lot more conscious.

Liu Zhixian is a standard civil official, he has never seen a battle, and after seeing such a combat method for the first time, he was even more interested, and shook his head again and again and said: "It turns out that fighting is such a way of fighting, it seems that I have opened my eyes today!" ”

Gao Huaiyuan pursed his lips slightly, and said in his heart If this is also a war, then what should be the scene of tens of thousands of people fighting on the battlefield? It's really uninsightful! But he's just slandering, and he won't really say it.

The team battle of twenty people did not last long, and soon the well-organized team easily killed all the opponents and won the victory, and then the victor stood in the middle of the field and immediately let out a cheer, and the losing side naturally walked out honestly and gloomily, making room for the next competition.

Everyone watched with relish, the nearby trees were full of people, it really made people worry about whether these trees would be overwhelmed on the spot, Gao Huaiyuan was worried about an accident, and had to arrange someone to drive the people on those trees down to watch, and he was a little dizzy.

I was busy until dark, and finally completed three competitions, and the first day of the competition came to an end, but people were still enthusiastic, gathered on the school field outside the city and refused to leave, such a grand occasion was more lively than the New Year's Festival, and the people of Daye County rarely encountered such a scene, and a competition gradually evolved into a carnival.

The vendors had a keen sense of smell, and soon set up their stalls on the school yard outside the city, and started their small business, where piles of bonfires were lit, and people from the archery clubs sat around the campfires to eat and chat, and from time to time there were children scurrying around in the crowd to play.

After Gao Huaiyuan arranged the things for the evening, he sent Liu Zhixian and the others back to the mansion in the city, and Liu Zhixian and his group were very interested, and they laughed all the way and gathered in the restaurant to drink.

And Gao Huaiyuan returned to his residence, Zhou Jun quickly knocked on the door and asked to see him, and was recruited into the room by Gao Huaiyuan.

"Little incompetence, I'm a shame on the young master today! I didn't get the archery title back! Please punish the young master! Zhou Jun knelt down in front of Gao Huaiyuan with a guilty face.

"Get up! The strong have their own strong hands, don't forget the old saying of our ancestors, there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people! The folk have always been the place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, that Dong Qiang seems to be from a hunter's background, and archery should have been trained since childhood, as long as you strengthen your practice, you will be successful one day! But today, although you are defeated, you are not considered to have lost the name of our Gaojiazhuang, so you don't have to worry too much about this matter! There is no winning general in this world, and some setbacks are only good for you, so you go back to rest first, and prepare for tomorrow's competition. Gao Huaiyuan called Zhou Jun up and comforted him, to be honest, Zhou Jun's defeat today was also something he didn't expect, but for this matter, he didn't take it to heart, Zhou Jun's gang of boys now have some signs of cocking their tails, and they feel that their skills should be quite good in Daye County, and someone should come to frustrate their sharpness, they don't know how thick the sky is.

After Zhou Jun got up, he nodded and said, "The little one is taught!" I'm going back and getting ready, and I'm going to come back tomorrow after winning the first place in the battle! ”

Gao Huaiyuan is naturally confident in Zhou Jun's guarantee, because in Daye County, the most experienced before the battle is the group of boys under him, Zhou Jun can be said to be one of these people second only to Huang Yan and Zhou Hao, more than a year of battlefield experience, let him learn a lot of things, plus he and Zhou Hao from time to time to mention that this group of people in the Gaojiazhuang Bow and Arrow Club has reached a very good level in terms of overall cooperation, if such advantageous conditions still fail, it is a bit too much.

So the next day after the gong on the school field, the first to appear on the Gaojiazhuang Bow and Arrow Club charged up, and beat the opponent to a fall, only one person on his side was out, and the other party's twenty people were all wiped out, so the one-sided battle situation was dumbfounded, it seems that the people in Gaojiazhuang are not much tough, and they are not cheaper than the opponent, but the strange thing is that after such a rush, the opponent was stunned by their rush, and the army was defeated, and the effective attack could not be organized, and the result was short for a moment, was all cleaned up, and once again broke out of an upset, which attracted a cheer in the field.

"County Lieutenant Gao! This Gaojiazhuang's bow and arrow club is really extraordinary, and its performance is really good, I guess they have also received your guidance! After Liu Zhixian saw Gao Jiazhuang's performance, he turned around and asked Gao Huaiyuan with a smile.

"Lord Liu, the lower officials do not have the slightest favoritism, for the battle formation, the lower officials do not have any favoritism, in the past six months, every bow and arrow club has personally instructed, it can only be said that some bow and arrow clubs do not pay much attention, the most particular thing on the battlefield is cooperation, the difference between the elite and the rabble lies in this, the same people, cooperation can give full play to the maximum combat power, do not pay attention to collaborators, naturally will fail!" Gao Huaiyuan explained to Liu Zhixian disappreciatively.

Liu Zhixian pondered for a while, this is really the case, it seems that those of them who only read dead books really don't know what the battlefield looks like, no wonder Gao Huaiyuan can lead the troops to make meritorious contributions in front of the battle, and they can also retreat with their whole body, but Wang County Lieutenant died in front of the army as soon as he bubbled, it is estimated that their gap lies here! Liu Zhixian also learned a lesson and understood some things about the battlefield.

After looking at the performance of the Gaojiazhuang Bow and Arrow Society, the next few competitions will have nothing to look at, basically the strength of the two sides is equal, and there is still an attack and defense at the beginning, but often after someone leaves, the formation is chaotic, and finally it turns into a scuffle, it becomes a catch-and-kill, the result is that when one side wins, there are few people left, such a result and just now Gaojiazhuang's comparison, it is really a bit embarrassing.

So the winner can enter the next competition, the original twelve teams, after elimination, only five left, this time is a little difficult to arrange, so Gao Huaiyuan had a plan, after asking Liu Zhixian, Liu Zhixian, a big layman, saw that the combat effectiveness of the Gaojiazhuang Bow and Arrow Society was not on the same level as other teams, so he nodded and agreed to let the remaining four teams draw lots again, first come to a semi-final, the winning two teams are tied together, to deal with Gaojiazhuang's team, it seems a little unfair, However, the performance of Gaojiazhuang's bow and arrow club was indeed too good, which caused dissatisfaction among many teams.

After the results were announced, there was an uproar on the field, and some people expressed dissatisfaction with the unfair treatment of the Gaojiazhuang Bow and Arrow Society, but most people still coaxed, hoping to see a more exciting competition, so the field was chaotic for a while before it was quiet.

But Gao Huaiyuan finally ordered to proceed according to such a request, and the teams of the four archery clubs began to fight again.

Before lunch, the two teams were finally decided to enter the decisive battle, everyone's appetite was adjusted, and they were talking about whether the Gaojiazhuang Bow and Arrow Club could withstand the siege of the two teams.

After the gamblers thought about it again, most of them put their bets on the other two teams of archery clubs, in their opinion, no matter how powerful the people of Gaojiazhuang were, they could not defeat more than twice as many as them, although the odds were smaller, but at least the chances of winning were much greater.

Taking advantage of lunch, Gao Huaiyuan quietly called Xing Zhutou aside and asked in a low voice: "Tell me honestly, what are the odds on the board of the gambling house now!" Don't tell me you don't know, or hum ......."

Xing Zhutou rubbed his hands together with a sneer and replied, "This ...... It turns out that the county lieutenant knows about it! This one...... I've just heard about it! Hehe! ”

"Without further ado, tell me, what are the odds now!" Gao Huaiyuan sneered at Xing Zhutou.

Xing Zhutou couldn't say no, so he had to honestly recruit him: "This ...... Odds! It seems that now it is Gaojiazhuang, and it is a loss of eight! The two teams over there are now three to ten! ”
