Chapter 126: Competition

During the three days, Liu Hong worked at least 8 hours a day, drawing as many as 20,000 paper symbols. He took out all the paper talismans in his Qiankun bag, and only after finding that there was no blank paper talisman did he lie down in peace.

"After the end of the military competition, the daily consumption is only a thousand paper talismans, and I can finally relax!"

Liu Hong, who woke up early in the morning to see, stretched his waist and found that the mountains of paper talismans on the desktop had not been organized, so he couldn't help frowning and shouted outside the camp tent:

"Han Baoding, help me tie up the Jiao Wildebeest paper talisman on the table, one thousand sheets and one thousand sheets. ”

Han Baoding, who was outside the tent, didn't make a sound, and after coming in, he laughed twice and began to sort out the paper notes on the table. The runes on the paper talisman were visible, and he could tell which one was the Jiaojiaoma paper talisman.

"Commander Shao, Commander Shao, they will set off at the end of the day, when are you leaving?" Seeing that Liu Hong had finished washing, Han Baoding asked.

The place of the big competition in the army is in the Wanghai slope in the northeast corner of Yanhai City, starting from the barracks of the West Gate Protector Army, it takes at least an hour and a half to walk, and Liu Hong is not worried that he will not be able to catch up with them. He took two wildebeest paper talismans on the table and prepared to leave.

....................................................

The highest slope of Wanghai is only 30 zhang, facing the sea in the east, and there is a small hill bag of more than 10 zhang in the west. Because of the leeward, the trees on the mountain pack are overgrown, stretching halfway up to the slope of the sea.

The hill is covered and flattened. Today's rostrum is set up 300 zhang away from Shanbao. The rostrum at the bottom is about 2 feet high above the ground, and you can see everything on the flat ground and the mountain bag with a clairvoyant mirror from the platform.

"Junmen! See, the West Gate Protector is coming on foot!" Fan Junmen's clerk approached Fan Junmen and whispered.

"You mean, all of them use the Jiaojiao Wildebeest Paper Talisman?" Fan Junmen asked rhetorically.

Today's military competition is a test of horsemanship, and the Ximen Protector did not bring a horse, which means that the Jiaojiao horse should be replaced by a paper charm. In two hours, he will spend 5,000 taels of gold, which is even more extravagant than himself!

"Military Gate! The North Gate Protector is without Luo Tong, and we have no need to be afraid! Our only opponent is Shao Gang and his team!"

This team of people has been walking for more than an hour, and all of them are still in good spirits, and they must be everyone's fierce rivals.

Fan Junmen nodded, he already had a brilliant plan in his heart, and he could easily make this opponent lie down.

At the forefront of the rostrum is the Dianjiang Terrace, and there are three rows of chairs 3 zhang away from the Dianjiang Terrace. The two chairs in the middle were naturally reserved for the Lord of the Civil Inspectorate and the Lord of Du, with the civil officials gathered on the left side and the military attache sitting on the right.

Shang Junmen, Fan Junmen, and He Junmen had nothing to say to each other, and they each pointed at the documents around them and discussed and analyzed. After Liu Hong ascended the rostrum, he went directly to the place where the merchant army was sitting.

"Shang Junmen must be confident sitting here so comfortably!" Liu Hong teased.

"It doesn't matter if you take the first place or not, as long as I don't go to the bottom, I'll be satisfied!"

There is a red flag at the highest point of Wanghaipo, and this competition is not the first to rush to the position of the red flag, who wins. There are 20 wagons under the rostrum, each with a straw man tied to it, and each team has to escort the straw man on the five carriages to the finish line safely.

The distance of the competition is not far, but there are dense forests and ravines, and you have to go up and down the mountain. Several teams can interfere with each other, and casualties can occur..... The five straw men cannot be hit by arrows and cannot be damaged. In the event of simultaneous arrivals, the team with the fewest losses wins.

"Captain Liu, you may not know that behind Wanghaipo is a cliff. "Shang Junmen is just to warn Liu Hong, don't rush your team.

It's useless to know these now, the soldiers in the Ximen Protector Army don't bring lamps to burn talismans, Liu Hong has no way to inform Shao Gang, who is fifty zhang away. He believed that with the Winged Wildebeest Talisman, they could be warned in advance.

Just after the hour, Du City Lord stood up from his position, took a ringing arrow handed over by his staff and shot it.

With an explosion in the sky, four teams of 1,000 people came to the rostrum in an orderly manner and found their positions according to the signs hanging under the stage. Shao Gang's team happened to be in the middle of the two teams at the north gate and the south gate.

"The South Gate Protector is really a big deal! More than 70 mammoths cost at least 20 million taels of gold!"

"What's the matter with the Ximen Guards? Seeing that the competition has begun, they haven't seen their wildebeest yet? Do they want to use the infantry to achieve this victory?"

"I heard that they all use paper charms, and they won't use them until the time comes!"

The civil official on the right stood up and took a clear look at the weapons and equipment of the four teams.

In their eyes, the difficulty of this competition is that the dense forest, without opening a road, the carriage cannot pass. The dozens of tall big-toothed mammoths of the South Gate Guard, with their long noses, are experts at pulling trees, and they should be able to pull out the first place.

After the second arrow, Shao Gang ordered everyone to take out the Jiaojiao Hornebeest paper talisman and prepare to get on the horse.

The formation of thousands of wildebeest horses of the same color and height is very beautiful. Shields, knives, spears, stumbling ropes.... All kinds of equipment have been unveiled.

As soon as the third arrow is fired, the beacon fire in front of the right will be lit on the rostrum, and the competition will officially kick off.

"Lord Castle Lord! The Divine Dragon Cannon is a great weapon for our city guards. Personally, I feel that without its addition, the true strength of the city protector cannot be fully reflected!"

Seeing that the city lord was about to shoot the third arrow, Fan Junmen suddenly stood up.

.......................................................

Is the dragon cannon useful? It is really useful for today's competition. It fires a horse spike that can hinder the opponent's advance, and the live bullets it shoots can kill people and horses, and can destroy the opponent's formation.

However, it will take at least an hour or two to transport it from the West Gate Protector to the scene, aren't you delaying everyone's time?

"Your proposal is very good! In order to see more exciting competitions, I believe you are willing to wait for a while!"

The operation inside the city has begun, and the city lord needs time. The longer he can drag these people here, the better it will be for him.

Seeing that Shao Gang's team of 1,000 people was all on the horse and ready to set off, Fan Junmen's proposal was undoubtedly consuming their time. After two hours, the effect of the paper talisman disappeared, what did the Ximen Protector take to the test?

"City Lord Du! I don't agree with this proposal of Fan Junmen! The role of the Divine Dragon Cannon in dealing with bandits, robbers, and rogues is limited. There's no need to waste everyone's time!" Liu Hong stood up and said.

"Whether it works or not, I know better than you!"

The city lord directly handed over the arrows and bows in his hand to the staff around him, looked at Liu Hong at all, quickly returned to his position, and picked up the teacup and tasted it
