Chapter 34 Shooting Competition

As mentioned last time, Liu Houtong was so angry that he wanted to shoot down the battle-free card at the head of the city. However, his own archery skills are limited to being able to pull the bow, and his marksmanship is often practiced, but if he wants to shoot a hemp rope at a distance, Liu Hou thinks that he doesn't have that ability.

So, he recruited sharpshooters from all the soldiers, and seven or eight people really raised their hands in response to this call. Liu Hou asked them to come out of the ranks, but there are so many people, and there is only one war-free card, and only one person needs to make a move, what should I do?

Liu Hou thought for a while, since there are several candidates and only one position, let's compete for the post.

Liu Hou ordered all the troops to sit down and rest, and everyone came to watch this competition, and the Eastern Wu army saw the Shu army outside the city on the city wall if no one had to start the competition, it was simply angry, these Shu troops didn't take their Eastern Wu army seriously.

But they were angry, they had already been beaten by the sharp firearms of the Shu army and the invulnerable vine armor army, where did anyone dare to go out of the city to fight with the Shu army.

Liu Hou asked people to build a simple watchtower in front of the battle, and he usually likes to watch the overall situation on the watchtower when he usually fights, so all the parts of this watchtower are ready-made, just build them like building blocks, fix them, and it will not take half an hour before and after.

Then, Liu Hou asked people to hang a small wooden sign with hemp rope at a place where the watchtower was about the same height as the battle-free card at the head of the city, which was the target.

This is the rhythm of a mock exam. He made the target the same height and size as the battle free card on the city, and the estimated distance of the arrow.

Liu Hou planned to shoot at a distance of one hundred and twenty paces, in order to prevent a counterattack by the Soochow army on the wall. At this distance, it is difficult for the average archer to shoot, and even if he can shoot, the arrow has no strength and accuracy, as the so-called "its potential can not penetrate Lu Minye", the arrow that has flown so far is generally negligible.

Of course, except for the peerless power of Huang Zhong and Lu Bu, that kind of person is said to be able to shine in three hundred steps, and he is already a fantasy-level character, Liu Hou has not seen it with his own eyes, and he doesn't believe it.

A distance of one hundred and twenty paces is a problem for the average archer, but for the archer, it is still achievable, and it still belongs to the human category.

The archers who signed up went up one by one to test shoot, and the first one to go on the field was a black and thin shooter, this shooter should be a southern barbarian from the perspective of face shape and skin color.

I saw him stride up to the ray, raise his hands high, and let out a shout of "Uluru" from his mouth, and a burst of cheers erupted in the vine armor army. Obviously, most of these cheerers were Nanbans, who cheered for their own people.

The archer took the pear carved lacquer bow and a feather arrow handed by the soldiers, raised them above his head, and slowly turned 360 degrees to signal to the spectators in all directions as he shouted "Uluru".

This time, there was also a lot of cheers. After finishing the sè, the guy put the feather arrow on the bowstring, and as soon as he pulled the bowstring, the strong bow of one and a half stones was pulled into a full moon. Then, he lifted the bow and arrow, took aim, and shot it in less than a second, cleanly.

His movements are chic, and the results are also impressive, "instigation", Yu Ling's arrow pierced the air, accurately nailed to the twine of the wooden card, and the wooden card fell in response.

"A hundred steps through Yang, a real hundred steps through Yang."

Liu Hou stood up excitedly and applauded. The soldiers who watched also cheered, and many people couldn't help but stand up and dance, causing the officers to desperately suppress the scene and control the scene.

The game seemed to be at its climax right from the start. Next, the rest of the players took turns to play, the second player was a Han man, also with a bow and arrow, he aimed for a long time, and finally shot the hemp rope with an arrow and shot the wooden card down.

The third shooter, who was still a barbarian, also shot the twine, but it was a little crooked, and the twine was only half broken, and the wooden card was held by half of the twine and did not fall.

The fourth was also a Han man, and when he came up he first saluted with his fists in all directions, and when the soldiers handed him a bow and arrows, he did not ask for a stone and a half bow that the soldiers had prepared for him, but took off an iron-tired bow that he carried behind his back.

Everyone was speculating about how many stone power this iron-tired bow was, and at this time, the archer asked someone to take five more arrows, a total of six arrows stuck in the ground in front of him.

Including Liu Hou, all the audience were curious, and at the same time looked at him expectantly, not understanding what he wanted to do.

I saw that the archer made a bow horse movement, that is, the left foot was in front, the knee joint was bent at 90 degrees, and the right foot was pushed straight behind. In this way, the center of gravity is lowered a lot, and the six feather arrows are inserted in the right hand at the side of the body, which is easy to grasp.

Looking at this person's handsome and mighty appearance, everyone became excited, and they talked about it one after another, and there was a buzzing sound at the scene. Everyone was curious, everyone used one arrow to break the twine, did he need six arrows to break it? Even if the six arrows are broken, it only proves that he is worse than others, not more powerful than others.

The shooter in the field was not affected by his surroundings, but he picked up a feather arrow, quickly bent his bow and arrows, and like the first shooter, he shot the arrow in less than a second, and the arrow was fired so quickly as if he had not aimed at all.

"Whoosh!" With a bang, the hemp rope broke in response.

"Good!" Just as the audience applauded, "Whoosh! With a bang, the archer fired another arrow, which was breaking the center of the falling wooden plaque and nailing it firmly to a wooden pillar.

"Wow!" Before the audience could react, the shooter shot a third arrow with a "whoosh". The arrow was a twine head nailed to fluttering under a wooden plaque.

After the hemp rope was broken by the first arrow, a small piece was still attached to the wooden plaque. In the process of falling, the hemp rope flew up, and this archer actually shot a small piece of flying hemp rope, which can be described as a miraculous skill.

This time, before the audience could applaud, the archers picked up the three remaining arrows on the ground and buckled them to the bowstring at the same time.

"Wow!" "Oh! ”…… The audience let out various exclamations. It turned out to be a string and three arrows, this legendary skill, no one present had the opportunity to see it, but I didn't expect to see it this time, it's really in vain.

"Buzz!" At this time, everyone knows that the archer's iron tire bow is definitely more than one and a half stones, and it is very likely to be a two-stone bow, otherwise it is impossible to shoot three arrows at the same time at such a distance.

Three arrows arrived at the same time, only to hear a "boom" sound, three arrows at the same time hit the center line of the wooden card, and the original shot of the arrow to form a straight line, the wooden card under the chisel of these four arrows, split in half, fell from the air.

"Wow!" The audience let out another wow-wow-wah exclamation, and the warm applause lasted for a long time.

Compared with the jubilant atmosphere on the side of the Shu army, the Eastern Wu army looked gloomy and bleak. They looked at the warm atmosphere of the Shu army outside the city, and they hated it so much, but they could only stare dryly and there was nothing they could do.

Perhaps it was the fourth who shot the watch so well, and the fifth whose confidence was so badly shattered that he ended up missing. The arrow was shot less than a centimeter next to the rope.

Finally, there is the performance of the three musketeers. There are special sniper rifles in the army, and the number is very small, but about 20. These so-called sniper rifles are certainly not the sniper rifles of later generations, they are just some self-fired rifles with better materials, better workmanship, and much higher accuracy.

Of course, Liu Hou also added monoculars to them, because the production is too difficult, the material is too precious (crystal), this monoculars sight is only five in total, so not every sniper rifle is matched, they are used in wheels.

Whenever a gun needs to be used, it is loaded with a sight. So strictly speaking, Liu Hou now only has five complete sniper rifles, and the other 15 guns without sights can only be regarded as reserve parts.

The three musketeers did not disappoint Liu Hou, and they all succeeded in breaking the hemp rope. Liu Hou was very satisfied with them, whether it was three musketeers or five archers, they were all Olympic champions in later generations. Liu Hou felt that this game was not in vain, at least a few talents were discovered.

Liu Hou called these eight people over, talked to them cordially, and personally handed out a bonus of fifty taels of silver to them. Fifty taels was definitely a huge amount of money, and seven of the eight people seemed very excited, only the archer who shot six arrows was very calm, obviously a man who had seen the world.

Liu Hou asked them one by one about their names, backgrounds, military positions and other personal information. It turned out that the young man who shot six arrows was called Huang Xu (died early in history), and he was the son of the later general Huang Zhong. No wonder his archery skills are so good, it turns out that he is the origin of Jiangmen Huzi's family.

For a while, the nobles stuffed their children into the academies and research institutes of the Ministry of Industry. This Huang Xu also entered the academy at that time, and later entered the military academy. This time, Liu Hou went out on an expedition and recruited a large number of soldiers, and graduates of the military academy were naturally the first choice to enter the army.

Huang Xu entered the Hong army at this time, starting with a small soldier, and now he has become a platoon commander. In this competition, his results deserved to be the first place, and everyone saw that no one was dissatisfied with his first place.

Similarly, Liu Hou promoted him to a company commander in the court, and no one had any objections, who wants others to have real skills. Of course, whether he can rise in the future depends on his ability.

The ability mentioned here does not refer to martial arts, swordsmanship and other skills, let alone to the crooked ways of evil sects such as slapping horses and drilling camps, but refers to military strategy. That is, how well he has mastered the content he has studied at the military academy in recent years.

After all, in the firearms unit, military strategy is the most important. Liu Hou decided to investigate him well in the future to see if he could dig out another outstanding talent. He has so few people at his disposal right now.

Some of the others are soldiers, some are squad leaders, they are all people with no background, Liu Hou kept his promise, except for the two who did not shoot the twine, all the others were promoted to one level, the soldiers were promoted to squad leaders, and the squad leaders were promoted to platoon leaders.

The two people who were almost the ones who didn't shoot the hemp rope, although they were not promoted to a level, but they could still receive a reward of 50 taels of silver, which was also very happy.

All 7 of them thanked him and returned to his queue, but only Huang Xu remained. Naturally, he stayed to get down to business. Liu Hou selected a person to come out in order to shoot off the war-free card at the head of the Eastern Wu Army.

So, Huang Xu walked alone and stood 150 steps away from the city. The soldiers on both sides stared at him blankly, not knowing what he wanted to do. Although the generals of Eastern Wu did not know what the Shu army was doing for a long time outside the city, some people speculated that it was a competition.

But the game is over, what is the champion of this competition doing? Is it because you have to come and attack the city by yourself after winning the championship? So who wants to fight for that title?

Most of the people in the Shu army didn't understand what this archer who won the championship was doing in the city. Only the senior generals know what is going on. So, now the people in both camps are staring at this guy with big eyes to see what further action he has.

ps. Ask for collections, ask for all kinds of tickets.

The editor said that it will be on the shelves tomorrow, but in fact, I don't want to put it on the shelves, for fear of affecting the ranking of the click list. However, the editor said that it was difficult to get a recommendation opportunity if she was not on the shelf, so she could only go with her.

I hope my friends can continue to support me, thank you!
