Chapter Twenty-Three: There are still capable people in Datang
"The second scene, mounted archery, ten arrows...", the singer's still mechanical voice sounded.
Huan Yanfan quickly jumped on his own war horse that had just been led by the officer of the Ministry of War, shook the reins, and drove the mount under him to run slowly and ran towards the cavalry shooting area on the other side.
The target position of mounted archery is still fifty paces away, but there is no fixed shooting area for mounted archery, and players can shoot at different distances according to their own judgment, that is, you can shoot at 100 paces, or even 200 paces, as long as you have the ability and courage, but not less than 50 paces.
Most of the spectators on the field followed Huan Yanfan's body, Liu Yi's eyes were also staring at Huan Yanfan's figure, judging from Huan Yanfan's performance just now, Liu Yi's judgment has been confirmed, this is a very good warrior, and it is likely to be the strongest opponent he has encountered today, Liu Yi believes that Huan Yanfan will have an unusual performance in the next riding and shooting.
Huan Yanfan had already run at a speed, basically keeping a distance of fifty steps away from the arrow target, picking up the bow and drawing the arrow, aiming slightly, and shooting towards the arrow target, and in the process of the first arrow flying, the second arrow had been shot, followed by the third arrow.
In the slight exclamation of the spectators, three arrows flew towards the target in succession, landing on the bullseye one after another.
This kind of shooting speed and shooting accuracy is also the best performance among the previous contestants, and the field is bursting into continuous applause.
Liu Yi saw such a scene, and couldn't help but praise secretly, although he didn't see anyone with an outstanding performance in the preliminaries, but among the samurai recommended by officials to participate directly in the finals, there are still such good players, and there are still capable people in Datang...
Huan Yanfan's horse had already run to the edge of the field, and in the roaring applause of the spectators, in a very graceful posture, he turned the horse's head, ran back, and shot again.
It was still a continuous shot of three arrows, and the three arrows still landed on the bull's-eye, almost the same as the previous arrow. The samurai on the field played so steadily, and the applause of the spectators on the field became even louder.
Huan Yanfan turned the horse's head again, this time he changed the way of shooting, the whole person lay on the horse's back, and began to change the shooting posture, but the shooting on the horse's back was relatively much more difficult, and the angle of the arrow was required to be more accurate, Huan Yanfan also aimed for a moment before shooting the arrow, and then shot another arrow, and then straightened up.
The horses had already run to the edge of the field, and Huan Yanfan only shot two arrows this way, and the speed of the arrows was much slower, but they were all right in the bull's-eye.
The applause on the field had already resounded to the sky, and the sergeant had beaten the drum with more force, the drum beat louder, and the sense of rhythm had become stronger, which made people feel shocked, and no one was sleepy anymore.
Huan Yanfan turned the horse again, ran back, he still had the last two arrows left, almost everyone on the field hoped that Huan Yanfan could hit the bull's-eye with ten arrows, come to a full house, and create a best result, because none of the previous games were all bullseye, and the best players only had seven bullseyes in the riding and archery performance, and there were many people who hoped that Huan Yanfan could perform in the difficult operation of the last two arrows.
may be because the first eight arrows are all bullseye, Huan Yanfan seems to want to pursue the result of hitting the bull's-eye with all ten arrows, and he also seems to have gotten a hint from someone on the field, in the shooting of the last two arrows, he did not choose a more difficult action as Liu Yi thought, but used the ordinary riding shooting method at the front to shoot the last two arrows.
"Ten out of ten, all bullseye, full marks!" The military officials who checked the number of targets reported the results of the players loudly, and the applause broke out again on the field, this is the first player to complete the ring of mounted archery, and it is also the best player among the players who have already played.
Those who watched Liu Yi's performance in the preliminaries also felt that the performance of this warrior called "Huan Yanfan" was basically on par with "Liu Yi'an," who ranked first in the preliminaries.
After the end of the horse shooting, followed by the performance of the horse spear, although it is said that "the horse spear skills," but the contestants can choose their own weapons, guns, lances and other long weapons can be, Huan Yanfan chose a lance, hugged the lance and saluted around, that is, drove the war horse under him, ran up slowly, and the long lance in his hand also danced.
Huan Yanfan's strength is very large, and the horse lance weighing more than ten catties is as light as a toy in his hands, and he dances like a tiger and a tiger, and his moves are skillful, like flowing water, and the cheers sounded again on the field.
The speed of the move was very fast, and it also raised the sand and dust on the ground, and for a while, the field of the game was full of dust, and Huan Yanfan, who was waving a long lance in the dust, was a little unable to see his face.
Many people are thinking that if there is a person who is about the same body as Huan Yanfan to fight against him at this time, the scene will be very exciting, but according to the current rules of martial arts, such a scene will not happen, which makes many people regretful.
After dozens of moves, Huan Yanfan stopped his body in the applause on the field, returned to the edge of the field, his face was full of excitement, gasped for breath, and then saluted the spectators around the venue, and jumped off the horse.
Liu Yi also felt Huan Yanfan's gaze looking at him, it was a smug and provocative gaze, and he was very confident, Liu Yi just replied with a faint smile, as if he didn't care about what happened before, such a faint smile made Huan Yanfan obviously stunned.
Then Huan Yanfan walked to Pei Xingjian and Cen Changqian, who were in charge, and Pei Xingjian and a few people each asked Huan Yanfan some questions about the strategy of using troops. Huan Yanfan is also a person who has read military books a lot, and he also answers questions about some military strategies such as marching and fighting, and quotes scriptures, which makes Pei Xingjian and Cen Changqian very satisfied.
The referee's Pei Xingjian and Cen Changqian finally gave a score, full marks for foot shooting and mounted archery, and the marksmanship is also very high, and the results in the art of war are also very good.
It's just that there are several samurai left who have not yet competed, and the game has to continue, after the end of the Huan Yanfan game, the next samurai came on the field, this is also a samurai recommended by senior officials in the court, may be intimidated by Huan Yanfan's outstanding performance just now, and the psychological burden is very heavy, as a result of the infantry shooting subject, an arrow was shot away, and the mounted archery behind was even more miserable, there were five arrows on the target, and none of the arrows fell on the bull's-eye, and the samurai recommended by another prime minister Lai Heng got off the field with a shameful face.
"The following person on the field, Jing Hui, Jiangzhou people, recommender, Shangshu's right servant shoots Dai Zhide...";
