Chapter Seventy-Seven: Shooting Apples

There is a saying that it is easy to invite God and it is difficult to send God, and Xu Yang really understands this sentence deeply now.

At present, the three forces surrounding Shouchun are: Huang Zhong's forces under his own department, and Sun Jian's forces attacked the Ji Ling forces sent by Yuan Shu in Nanyang. Now the most passive and slacking off is Ji Ling's forces, and Xu Yang thinks of the upcoming Shouchun raid, and he is still very worried that this Ji Ling will make a stumbling block behind him.

"Lord, since we have agreed to launch a battle plan against Shouchun the day after tomorrow, let's go and meet this Ji Ling tomorrow!" The battle plan has been finalized, Guo Jia said with a smug face.

"Okay, see this Ji Ling tomorrow, I really prepared a gift for him!" Xu Yang rubbed the Beginningless Lance with his hand, thinking of Ji Ling, who "cooperated" with Lu Bu in history to play the Yuanmen Halberd, he couldn't help but have a bad taste in his heart.

In the early morning of the second day, a herald went straight to Sun Jian's camp, and for the whole day, there was no movement in Sun Jian's camp, which made the defenders above Shouchun City a little confused.

Not to mention Liu Wen's incomprehension in Shouchun City, after breakfast, Xu Yang took Guo Jia and Huang Zhong to the outside of Ji Ling's camp with only more than ten horse guards.

After a while, Ji Ling, who had a standard bearded face, respectfully came out of the camp to greet him: "I don't know that the champion Lord Hou is here, Nanyang Ji Ling has lost his welcome, and I ask Lord Hou to forgive me!" ”

Xu Yang said with a smile: "This time I came here suddenly, General Ji Ling doesn't need such a big gift, please hurry up!" ”

Ji Ling, who got up, saw that the champion Hou was accompanied by only more than ten horses, and he couldn't help but be surprised by the courage of this champion Hou. Although the two families are nominally jointly crusading against Liu Wen now, Ji Ling's own family knows about his own family affairs, and now the relationship between his family and Mingyue City is not friendly, and even to a certain extent, it is hostile. This kind of thing is known to a rough person, and he doesn't think that the dignified champion Hou will not be able to see it. Since people know that they still dare to come, it means that this champion Hou is really courageous!

In the big tent, among the people who were seated, Xu Yang looked at Ji Ling and said: "I have heard for a long time that General Ji Ling is the first military general under the Highway Prince, but it is a pity that I failed to meet before the Tiger Prison Pass, which is really a big pity." Today, I can see the demeanor of General Ji, and he is really brave! It's just that...... I don't know why General Ji Ling has not launched an offensive against Shouchun for a long time, but what are the problems? ”

When Ji Ling heard this, his face changed at the moment, and he secretly said in his heart: This should come or come, and the champion Hou really came to Xingshi to ask about the crime.

The chief bowed, and Ji Ling said slightly apologetically: "Back to the Hou Ye, it's not that Ji Ling doesn't want to fight." In fact, our army came from Nanyang, and there were problems with logistics supply after the long journey. Now the morale of the battalion is not good, the sergeants are short of food and grass, Ji Ling is really afraid of the war, and the morale of the army is low, which causes the soldiers to mutiny......"

Ji Ling replied while thinking about how to answer if the champion Hou asked him. Although the two have no master-slave relationship, the other party's official position is there, and even if he really wants to fool, he has to fool well, otherwise he will not be able to answer when he goes back to his own master.

What Ji Ling didn't expect was that Champion Hou didn't continue to ask, but just said lightly: "Oh, since that's the case, then General Ji Ling is really thoughtful." Since General Ji Ling's army can't keep up with the supply of grain and grass, this time I also ask General Ji Ling to appease the soldiers and don't move around in the camp! Otherwise, the sword has no eyes......"

The words "sword without eyes", Xu Yang deliberately said it a little heavier. However, Ji Ling, who was born in the battlefield, didn't care too much, and originally wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xu Yang's next words: "I have heard for a long time that General Ji Ling's martial arts are strong, and his bow and arrow attainments are also extraordinary. In addition to the battle pass just now, I also want to try my bow and arrow with General Ji Ling, I don't know if it's good? ”

"Hou Ye, how can these tricks of the lower officials enter the eyes of Hou Ye, but they are just a little tricks, please don't take Hou Ye seriously!" Although he didn't know why the champion Hou wanted to test the bow and arrow with him, Ji Ling wisely chose to refuse. There is no way, this competition will naturally win or lose, if the champion Hou wins, the morale of his army will inevitably be affected, if he wins, then the champion Hou will naturally be very unhappy, and when the time comes, ...... It's better to lower the morale of your own army!

No matter how you look at it, you are not suitable, so why bother to find yourself unhappy? Besides, Ji Ling also came with Yuan Shu's mission this time, that is, to slow down the offensive against Shouchun, to be precise, how slow and slow it can be. But Yuan Shu didn't tell him before leaving, if it was the champion Hou who came in person, there would be no need to act, so Ji Ling could only quietly send someone to contact Yuan Shu while waiting for the next order.

Hearing Ji Ling's refusal, Xu Yang's face immediately became very ugly, and the Beginningless Lance appeared in his hand, struggling to hit the ground, although the sound was not loud, it let Ji Ling know that the champion Lord Hou was angry!

"Humph! General Ji Ling, doesn't Ben Hou want to compete with you in a bow and arrow, do you think that Ben Hou's strength is not as good as you, and he disdains to despise Ben Hou? Xu Yang asked angrily.

Facing the angry champion Hou, Ji Ling didn't dare to say again: "Hou Ye is angry, if this is not the case, it is really the battle of Shouchun that the subordinate officials need to supervise the army, and these methods of the subordinate officials really can't enter the eyes of the Hou Ye." If Hou Ye has to compete...... Then the lower official admits defeat......"

Well, hearing that Ji Ling was going to admit defeat, Xu Yang was directly blind. What's going on? But it's right to think about it, although Ji Ling is now a famous general in the Nanyang area, he can admit defeat in front of the world-famous champion Hou, no matter how you say it, it's not a shame, and there is even one

So a little glory! Why? Ordinary people who can let the champion Hou pull the competition, which shows that the champion Hou attaches great importance to himself, which is not enough for Ji Ling's stinky fart?

But Ji Ling is so unprecedented, Xu Yang's face has become very ugly, and the originally prepared drama can't be so gone. Thinking that he didn't want to compete with Ji Ling seriously, Xu Yang immediately said: "Since General Ji Ling has military affairs, how about changing the way of the competition?" ”

"Uh...... I don't know how Master Hou wants to compete? "Ji Ling is now a fast person, I have heard before that the champion Hou is brave and good at fighting, the army is rigorous, how can he fight well and fight against the traitor, but no one said that this champion Hou still has to pull people to forcibly compete? But Ji Ling knows that this life is like that, if you can't resist, you can only enjoy it, and if it's a big deal, it will affect your morale!

Seeing that Ji Ling finally relented, Xu Yang got up and walked outside the camp, and everyone else followed behind Champion Hou. After this walk, he soon came to the training ground of Ji Ling's camp, watching the soldiers on the training ground continue to practice, Xu Yang stopped and said: "General Ji Ling, the scenery here is good, why don't we try it here!" ”

Well, Ji Ling knew what he had promised, and even if it was all his own soldiers, there was no way to go back.

When the champion Hou finished talking about his way of playing, Ji Ling was stunned. The square-headed asked champion Hou: "Master Hou, are you sure you want to compete like this?" Moreover, in this comparison, it seems that there is nothing to do with the officials? ”

When he said this, Ji Ling even felt that the champion Hou in front of him was fake. can look at this outfit, Huang Zhong and Guo Jiana, who are accompanying him, are the core figures of Mingyue City, and who dares to pretend to be the champion Hou in this world!

Xu Yang smiled and said, "General Ji, where is this, what Ben Hou said is naturally the way of the game." Place the lance of Benhou at the gate, hang an apple on the tip of the lance, and Benhou stands here to open the bow. If this candidate is shot, it will be counted as a victory, and General Ji Ling will need to lead his troops to rest in the next few days, and he will not be allowed to participate in the Battle of Shouchun. If you miss, you will be defeated, General Ji Ling can lead the troops on his own, fight at will, and spread the news that you are better than this candidate all over the world, how about it? ”

To be honest, although Ji Ling sensed that the strength of the champion Hou was at the holy level, the level of the bow and arrow was not necessarily proportional to the strength. Although he is only at the emperor level, he also knows how to bow and arrow, and the gate is one hundred and fifty steps away from his current position, and it is not very difficult to shoot a small apple hanging on the blade of the lance. If you want to say that Huang Zhong under Champion Hou will do this, he Ji Ling still has to think about it, and if you want to say that Champion Hou will do it, he is really confident that he will win.

With a reluctant expression, Ji Ling finally said: "Since the Hou Ye has such a Yaxing, then the lower officials should accompany him." ”

"Okay, here's coming! Put my weapon outside of the gate, and this apple, remember to stick it on the tip of the lance! After Xu Yang finished speaking, he took everyone back fifty steps!

Seeing all this with his own eyes, Ji Ling had a rather unreal feeling. What's going on? Is there something wrong with Champion Hou's brain? What was originally a distance of one hundred and fifty paces has now become two hundred steps. If you want to say that shooting at a distance of 200 steps is not a problem, but if you want to shoot an apple, the difficulty can be imagined.

After a soldier stood the Beginningless Lance at the gate and carefully inserted the apple on the blade, Xu Yang turned his head and looked at Huang Zhong with a smile on his face, "Han Sheng, can you lend me your treasure carving bow?" ”

Huang Zhong on the side was actually playing the drum in his heart, you must know that he has known his master for a long time, but he has never seen his master practice or use a bow and arrow. Huang Zhong always thought that Xu Yang didn't understand bows and arrows, but why is this posture different from what he feels now?

Huang Zhong didn't ask much, but directly took out his treasure carving bow and respectfully handed it to his lord.

As a result, seeing the movements of his lord after receiving the bow and arrow, Huang Zhong was immediately dumbfounded. The bow was pulled away with both hands, and very hard, by brute force to be exact. The treasure carving bow was pulled away by Xu Yang by five points, but Xu Yang used ninety percent of his strength.

Seeing this scene, Huang Zhong completely confirmed one thing, that is, his lord really didn't understand bows and arrows. The Eagle Bow is an almost powerful bow, and it is not possible to pull it apart by force alone, and it requires skills that have been honed over many years. Obviously, his lord only has strength, which leads to almost all his strength and can only bow five points, Huang Zhong can't help but sweat for his lord in his heart.

"Well, what a bow!" Xu Yang used ninety percent of his strength to pull the treasure carving bow open by five points, and sighed very proudly. Although it seems to outsiders that he doesn't know how to pretend to understand, Xu Yang really thinks this in his heart, this is indeed a good bow - because this bow is strong enough to easily shoot arrows to the gate!

Ji Ling, who was watching all this from the side, didn't know what to say at the moment, anyway, since the champion Hou wanted to play, he would accompany him to play. At that time, if the champion really loses, he will also sell his favor to him, isn't it also a good choice!

"General Ji Ling, is that the beginning of this book?" Xu Yang was a little familiar with the treasure carving bow, and asked Ji Ling with a smug face.

Ji Ling nodded with a smile and said, "Looking forward to Master Hou's archery!" ”

After speaking, Xu Yang's eyes moved, and the beginningless lance two hundred steps away was clearly imprinted in his eyes, and the apple inserted on it appeared

It was imprinted very clearly in Xu Yang's eyes.

With a bow and arrows, Xu Yang quietly operated his spatial physique and launched the special skill of spatial physique-dimensional slashing! This was originally a skill that locked on to the target and made the skill hit 100%, but now it is used by Xu Yang to shoot apples.

After testing the strength of the treasure carving bow before, and confirming that he could easily shoot at Yuanmen, Xu Yang knew that it was done. As for the problem of accuracy, it is completely left to this data-based world, and the power of space is used to forcibly lock on to the target and let this arrow hit! With this can ensure that this arrow is completely hit, but Xu Yang usually doesn't attack with a bow and arrow, because he understands that he has no bow and arrow skills, and the power of the arrows he shoots is insufficient.

Sou!

The first time the arrow broke away from the treasure eagle bow, it turned into an afterimage and shot out of the gate. The soldier who was originally holding the Beginningless Lance in his hand had dense beads of sweat on his forehead, and to be honest, he was really afraid that the arrow of the champion Hou would shoot crookedly. is a nobody, even if he is shot to death by the champion Hou, I am afraid that there is nowhere to redress his grievances.

Syllable!

There was a slight shaking from the beginningless lance, and when the soldier looked up, he saw that the apple had been shot and an arrow was hanging from it.

"Hit! Champion Hou hit! I don't know if it was out of danger of life, or if it was really because the champion Hou shot this arrow, this strength immediately shouted excitedly.

His voice immediately spread throughout the training ground, and the soldiers who had been watching the excitement cheered one after another, marveling at the amazing archery skills of the champion Hou.

At this time, the most depressed was Ji Ling, for some reason, when the arrow hit the beginningless lance at the place of the gate, Ji Ling suddenly had a strong sense of fear for the champion Hou in his heart, a sense of fear for no reason! At this moment, he clearly recalled what the champion Hou told him, "If he wins, then he will rest for a few days, and he will not be allowed to send troops to Shouchun." At this moment, Ji Ling seriously thought about Champion Hou's suggestion and accepted it!

"Master Hou is really like a god, Ji Ling is willing to bow down!" Ji Ling saluted respectfully.

Xu Yang returned the treasure carving bow to Huang Zhong, and said with a smile: "Since General Ji Ling admits defeat, then I will ask your army to rest in the next few days." If there is anything, let's wait until the battle of Shouchun is over! ”

After speaking, Xu Yang took Huang Zhong, Guo Jia and others and left directly. For the self-directed and self-starred "Yuanmen Shooting Apples", Xu Yang is how satisfied and satisfied. In history, Lu Bu was able to make Ji Ling, who had an absolute superiority in troops, give up the attack with Liu Bei with his Yuanmen Shooting Halberd, so how could he make this guy honest for a few days by shooting apples at Yuanmen!

Not to mention how frightened Ji Ling was on the practice ground, just said that after Xu Yang left, Guo Jia on the side admired his lord spontaneously, and praised while riding a horse: "Lord, your methods of demonstrating this time are simply clever. You didn't see it when you walked fast, and when Ji Ling looked at your back, there was an inexplicable fear in his eyes. By the way, how did you come up with this solution? ”

Seriously, Guo Jiadu didn't understand why this Ji Ling was scared like this! But thinking about it, as long as Ji Ling can be stable in the next few days, it is not a big deal to be too scared.

"Hehe, coincidence...... Regarding Guo Jia's question and the incomprehension in Huang Zhong's eyes, Xu Yang just smiled and said modestly, "This may be the arrangement of fate, anyway, our effect has been achieved!" ”

Seeing that their father-in-law didn't say anything, the two didn't ask again. When the group returned to the camp of Mingyue City, Sun Jian had already sent someone to reply that he would try his best to cooperate with the actions of the champion Hou, Xu Yang and the others looked at each other and smiled, and things were going quite smoothly.

That night, at midnight, Sun Jian's tent, which had been quiet for a day, suddenly moved. A large number of infantry began to move in the dark night, and some people lifted the ladder and quietly touched the Shouchun City Gate.

In the entire Sun Jian camp, one-third of the soldiers were mobilized and quickly assembled.

"Brothers, kill Shouchun City and capture Liu Wen alive!" With Sun Jian's roar, the quiet night was broken.

"Roar!"

Sun Jian's subordinates immediately rushed to Shouchun City like a fierce tiger. The light of the torches on the city wall can only be seen within a hundred steps of the enemy, but Sun Jian's loud shout just now has prepared the defending troops.

"Quick, inform your lordship, Sun Jian is attacking the city!" An adjutant defending the city commanded the soldiers to organize the defense, and on the other hand, he gave the order to the heralds, "Inform your lordship, the enemy is attacking!" ”

Although Sun Jian chose to attack the city at midnight, the enemy's response speed was fast, and Sun Jian's troops did achieve good results in attacking the city wall at the beginning, but with the arrival of the enemy's reinforcements, the two sides fell into a tug-of-war on the city wall. And in the dark night, it is not only conducive to the surprise attack of the besieging side, but also conducive to the defending side to arrange for the archers to release dark arrows in the rear.

The two sides entered a tense battle for the city wall for a while, and every second there were soldiers dying on the city wall, but both sides were unwilling to give up this section of the city wall, and it was difficult to solve for a while!

High in the sky, taking advantage of the dark night and the noisy shouts below, Xu Yang quietly entered Shouchun City on the Golden Wing Kunpeng......
