Chapter 723: Du Yu VS Hua Qingfang
"My lord, there is news from the school field, and the archery competition between Qingfang and that Du Yu is about to start."
"Help me up."
"My lord, don't go with your injuries." Guo Xiaochao and Ma Weiran both came up to persuade Meng Yan not to go to the school anymore.
"I'm going, this competition is very important to Qingfang, I'm not here, he can't play all his combat effectiveness!" Meng Yan Road.
"My lord, then I'll call you a sedan chair."
"No need, it's too slow to take a sedan chair, get a carriage for the officer." Meng Yan shook his hand and said.
The carriage quickly came, and this time, Guo Xiaochao personally escorted it.
When they arrived at the Nancheng school ground, the guards directly let them in.
This unique competition has been prepared, just waiting for Meng Yan to appear.
"Lord Meng is here, come on, please take a seat." Zhu Mian saw Meng Yan again, and his attitude became much more enthusiastic.
"Thank you, Dashuai!" Meng Yan hugged his fists and sat down.
"The competition begins!" Ma Yi, the general who presided over the exercise, also served as the host of this last archery duel.
Fixed target, fifty steps!
Hua Qingfang and Du Yu played together.
"Thirty breaths of time, ten arrows per person, if you don't finish shooting, you will lose, do you understand?" The referee stepped forward and shouted to the two.
"Understood!"
"Alright, now the clock begins!"
Hua Qingfang and Du Yu each quickly pulled out an arrow from the quiver behind their backs and bent their bows to match the arrows.
Sou!
Du Yu's first arrow had already been shot.
Hit the bull's-eye!
There was a burst of cheers around, such an achievement was too easy for Du Yu, pediatrics.
turned his face sideways and meowed at Hua Qingfang, and found that his bowstring was full. The first arrow has not yet been fired.
It's a bit of strength, see how long you can hold on!
The corners of Du Yu's mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, revealing a disdainful expression.
"My lord, Qingfang ...... him"
"Don't make a sound, watch. I believe in Qingfang. Meng Yan raised his hand slightly to stop Guo Xiaochao from speaking.
Sou!
Du Yu shot an arrow, a little off the first arrow, but it was also on the edge of the bull's-eye, and according to the scoring principle, it was also ten points.
Looking at Hua Qingfang again, the first arrow was still on the bowstring and had not yet been shot.
Rumble!
The border army who knew how to drill applauded again, and of course there were many people who laughed at Hua Qingfang. Du Yu shot two arrows, and he didn't shoot a single arrow.
This guy doesn't know how to shoot arrows at all, right?
Zhu Mian also glanced at Meng Yan with some suspicion, after all, this kid was taught by you, isn't it like that?
Meng Yan didn't have any expression, he didn't care about winning or losing today's competition, Du Yu was a veteran of a hundred battles, and Hua Qingfang was only a fledgling at most. There is no shame in losing to him. But it was a rare experience.
For Hua Qingfang, this experience will become the most valuable treasure in his life.
The third arrow, Du Yu's third arrow has already been set on the bowstring, and at least a third of the time has passed at this time.
Sou!
Sou!
Du Yu's third arrow left the bowstring, and at this time, Hua Qingfang's fingers were also loosened, and his first arrow was also shot.
Hua Qingfang's arrow started half a year slower. But before Du Yu's third arrow reached the target, the target arrived first, and one arrow pierced the red heart of the target!
Yes!
There was a burst of exclamation all around, and even Du Yu couldn't help but show a hint of surprise when he saw this arrow.
Du Yu's third arrow is not bad. Also shot at the bull's-eye, all three arrows are inserted in the bull's-eye position.
Whoosh ......
Hua Qingfang's movements suddenly became faster, taking arrows, taking bows, and shooting, this set of actions was like flowing water in the same industry, pleasing to the eye.
Du Yu was stunned!
Hua Qingfang's remaining nine arrows were shot out in one go, and the movements did not stop for half a minute, and he couldn't see the movements clearly.
He can do it with such a fast archery, and he can do it faster than the other party, but there is one thing he is not sure about.
That is, all nine arrows passed through the small hole where the first arrow pierced the bull's-eye just now, and not a single arrow fell!
Seeing this scene, the eyes of many border generals straightened, and even the handsome Zhu Mian stood up unconsciously.
This kid also said in the morning that his archery skills were not as good as one ten-thousandth of Meng Yan's, so what is the level of this Meng Qincha's archery skills?
There is also the arrow god Borshu, who can actually hurt him, and his archery skills are probably not under him, they are originally a teacher-student relationship.
Twenty breaths have passed!
Du Yu came back to his senses at this time, and he still had seven arrows that he hadn't shot.
Du Yu's psychological element was not bad, but he was caught off guard by Hua Qingfang's magical continuous shooting, and although the remaining seven arrows were not bad, they all hit the bull's-eye.
But compared to Hua Qingfang's amazing table, he lost the first game.
"Fifty steps to fix the target, Hua Qingfang wins!" Ma Yi, who presided over the competition, announced.
"Below, a hundred steps to fix the target, the rules are the same, do you need to take a break?" Ma Yi then announced.
"No, I don't."
"You don't need to mark it either!"
"Well, move the target fifty steps back!"
Fifty paces and a hundred, this seems to be an extra fifty paces of distance, and the test for the archer is not just as simple as doubling the range.
This is a huge test of the shooter's strength, eyesight, and balance, and the average shooter can shoot fifty or sixty steps is considered good.
In battle, there are not many accurate flat shots, most of the time the projectiles are used, although the accuracy of the projectile is not high, but if the dense projectile is intensive, the lethality is very great.
And at a distance of a hundred paces, although a stone bow can do it, but if it can't shoot a few arrows, it will have to change the bowstring, and even the bow will be abolished.
You have to use a bow with more than two stones.
In order to show the fairness of the competition, Zhu Mian transferred two brand-new two-stone bows from the armory, which cost a lot of money, so only those meritorious soldiers were rewarded.
"Hua Qingfang, you won the first game. This two-stone bow is a reward for you! Zhu Mian personally handed the bow to Hua Qingfang.
"Thank you for the reward!"
"You deserve it." Zhu Mian stretched out his hand to help Hua Qingfang up.
Zhu Mian's thoughts, Meng Yandong is looking at the fire, and wants to buy his henchman and beloved general with a two-stone bow, is it so easy?
"The competition begins!"
This hundred-step competition is much more difficult than fifty steps, and it is still thirty breaths of time, and ten arrows are shot. If you don't finish ejaculating, you lose.
This time, Hua Qingfang did not make an amazing move, and within the specified time, she shot ten arrows, and Du Yu was the same.
"Du Yu is ninety-eight points, and Hua Qingfang is also ninety-eight points!"
This achievement still surprised the border soldiers who watched the battle, what is the origin of this Hua Qingfang, she can actually compete with the king of arrows in the fixed target. Or even a little better?
At this time, who still despises Hua Qingfang's strength, it is really a brain in water.
An archery genius comparable to the king of arrows, this is a hot store in the army, you must know that the army is a place to worship the strong.
As long as you are strong, even if you have no qualifications, you will naturally be respected, if you are a waste. But if you occupy a high position, you will be looked down upon.
In the military. Seniority is a factor, ability to exceed seniority, you know, if you don't have the ability, the last time you show cowardice on the battlefield.
Civilian officials are different, maybe mediocre officials follow the right people. Smooth progress is not necessarily.
Move the target, tie the target brand to the waist of the war horse, the war horse runs in front of the shooter, the number of arrows that hit the target is large, and the high score wins.
"Du Yu. How many arrows do you have to prepare? ”
"Give me twenty!"
"What about you, Hua Qingfang?" Ma Yi turned to Hua Qingfang and asked.
"Please prepare ten arrows for the mark." Hua Qingfang said slowly.
"Okay, two quivers for each of the two archers!" Ma Yi commanded the soldiers behind him.
Four bags of arrows were taken, handed over to the two for examination, and erected on the ground in front of them.
"Hua Qingfang, are you coming first, or am I coming first?" Du Yu asked.
"Naturally, Lord Du is preferred!" Hua Qingfang humbly said, you must know that the first one is on the list, there is no psychological burden, and it is easy to play excellent results.
In the back, if the front one plays too well, it will naturally form a kind of pressure on itself, resulting in abnormal performance.
"Don't say that General Ben bullied your pawn, let's draw lots, whoever catches it will come first?" Du Yu is not willing to bully the small, even if he wins, it will be dishonorable.
"Good!"
The results of the draw came out quickly, and Du Yu won.
This result is also a bit surprising, but it is said that whoever wins first, Du Yu won, he was the first to shoot, which is nothing, very fair.
"Let's go!"
The soldiers, who had been prepared for a long time, loosened the reins and threw a whip on the horse's thigh, and the horse ran forward with the target on his back.
Du Yu's hand speed was very fast, and as the horse ran, the arrows in the quiver in front of him quickly decreased.
Until the last arrow was fired, the war horse also ran past the predetermined finish position, and at this time there were twenty arrows densely inserted on the arrow target.
One is not much, one is not less!
The difficulty and accuracy of shooting at a moving target are much higher than those of a fixed target, so even Du Yu, the king of arrows, can only make all his arrows on the target, and it is too difficult to hit the bullseye part.
However, there is one person who can do it, and that is the God of Arrows!
Meng Yan's eyes shrank slightly, this Du Yu's archery skills are really not weak, and the title of the king of arrows is well deserved.
Although Hua Qingfang's archery skills are not weak, after all, there are still few such exercises, far inferior to a battlefield veteran like Du Yu.
In this game, Hua Qingfang has little chance of winning.
"Qingfang, don't care about any competition, just when you're hunting in the forest, that's fine." Meng Yan reminded him at the exit.
Hua Qingfang, who was originally a little nervous, heard Meng Yan's words, her expression gradually relaxed, and she slowly entered the state.
Hunting, that's what requires undivided attention.
"Master Meng, is this unruly?" Shi Heng, who was standing opposite Meng Yan, snorted dissatisfiedly.
"Lord Shi, don't you even have the right to speak?" Meng Yan smiled slightly and said disapprerovitically.
"This is a fair competition between the two of them, and if you make a reminder, this is unfair!"
"Just because of the words of the lower official, Lord Du will lose the competition, and you despise Lord Du too much."
"Master Meng......"
"Okay, Master Meng just said a word, don't make a fuss." Zhu Mian raised his hand to stop.
In the field, the war horse had already run, Hua Qingfang adjusted her breathing, quickly pulled out an arrow, bent her bow and arrow, and shot out! (To be continued......)
