Chapter 53: Shocking Skills
The sergeant was slightly annoyed in his heart, although he was not a big man here, but most of the people who came to participate in the assessment were respectful to him.
However, at this time, Zheng Haotian's eyes were swept away, and he was suddenly a little frightened, and his momentum was taken away.
But for some reason, he couldn't afford to resist anything. When Zheng Haotian looked away, the feeling of depression in his heart dissipated.
However, since he was angry in his heart, he naturally refused to release the water again, and when he saw that Zheng Haotian had just taken out the folding bow, he immediately yelled: "Start ......"
This is even refusing to give Zheng Haotian time to adjust the preparations.
However, the moment Zheng Haotian stood in front of the horizontal line, his heart had already been joyless and sad, and he was completely calm.
The copper coin in the distance, swaying slightly in the wind, seemed to him to be in front of him, as if he could touch it with a stretch of his hand.
He heard the sergeant's shouting, and without thinking, he opened his bow and arrows......
"Whoosh......"
A series of almost non-paused bowstrings shook, sharp arrows broke through the air, and the sound of clanging sounds.
Zheng Haotian actually shot a full ten arrows in a row, and the interval between each arrow was never more than one breath. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, all ten arrows had been shot.
What's even more terrifying is that these ten arrows are also unprecedented, shooting down all the copper coins a hundred steps away.
"Good ......"
After a moment of silence, the field suddenly erupted.
The original grievances in the sergeant's heart suddenly dissipated, such archery skills were really superb, and the sergeant naturally knew that this son would do a lot in the future, and it was definitely not something he could provoke.
"Captain, ten arrows are all hit, copper coins ...... Completely crushed. ”
The soldier in charge of the inspection in front of him ran over and suddenly shouted loudly.
Everyone was talking to each other again, and there was no trace of contempt and ridicule in their eyes when they looked at Zheng Haotian, but they were filled with a look of awe.
It's not easy to shoot a copper coin that keeps shaking a hundred paces away. And shooting a copper coin and shattering it is several times more difficult. Faintly, everyone guessed that this little guy must have been successful in cultivating true qi. Only those who have true qi can achieve such abilities that ordinary people can't reach.
A twelve-year-old boy has already been able to cultivate his true qi, even if there is only a trace of this true qi, the possibility of becoming a hunter in the future is also very great.
The sergeant signed his name and results on the voucher, but did not open his mouth when he handed over the things to Zheng Haotian.
A future hunter is not something that his small longbow team can accommodate.
Zheng Haotian and Lin Ting walked side by side and left the shooting range under the eyes of everyone with mixed feelings.
"Look at what, next. ”
Listening to the shouts of the sergeant leader behind him, the two teenagers looked at each other and smiled.
Although they passed the level quite easily, there was still a hint of joy in their hearts, and even their steps became a little lighter.
Out of the shooting range, they hurried out of the barracks.
Of the eight areas, the last four and archery were all performed in the barracks, while the other three were scout skills in the dense forest outside the barracks.
Outside of the city, there should not be a large area of forest. However, the strength of the city is strong, and the cities that can compete with it are thousands of miles away, so there is no need to worry that someone will borrow the trees outside the city to forge siege equipment, and naturally the forest outside the city will not be destroyed.
On the periphery of the forest, there are also three major areas, Zheng Haotian and the others came to the place where the trap technique was assessed, and there were already nearly ten people waiting silently here.
The assessment of trapping is not the same as the examination of archery, and outside the forest, there are various equipment for setting traps, ropes, spikes, barbs, wooden rafts, etc.
Of course, the equipment here is also some of the most ordinary, and some of the things specially made by the Zheng family don't even want to be found here.
The examiner had to pick out a portion of the equipment here, and then go into the jungle to set a trap accompanied by the sergeant in charge of the audit.
The trap assessment is carried out by ten to fifteen people at a time, and each of them is accompanied by three sergeants, and the distribution is also decided by lot, and it is extremely difficult to bribe. Of course, in comparison, the transparency of this assessment is far less obvious than that of items such as archery. It's just that the people who come to conduct the hunter assessment are basically ordinary people, and they don't have the money to bribe the examiner.
Unless the children of the real family are extremely bored, they will not come to the hunter assessment, and those who occupy the vast majority of the cultivation resources of the Son of Heaven are aiming at the hunters and hunting kings of the people.
After waiting here for half an hour, it was finally Zheng Haotian's turn.
When he saw the credentials handed in by the two of them, the sergeant leader also had a strange face.
Fifteen-year-old Lin Ting is enough, and twelve-year-old children also have to participate, which is rare.
However, after seeing the terrifying mace on Zheng Haotian's back and the evaluation of ten arrows and ten rings on the voucher and the broken copper coin, he wisely put away his contempt.
If this young man was willing to join the army, archery alone would be enough to touch the heart of any officer. For this kind of person with real talent and real learning, anyone will give some respect.
A total of 12 people participated in this round, and they first drew lots in a box one after another, with a total of 45 numbers, each number corresponding to a sergeant in charge of the examination.
These sergeants are all good at setting traps from all over the world, and they are in charge of evaluation in groups of three, almost eliminating most of the possibility of cheating.
It can be seen that in addition to the assessment of hunters, the big forces led by the city lord still attach great importance to it.
After all, this can be regarded as the cradle of their recruitment of talents, and they can't let too many indiscriminate people mix in, otherwise it will be purely asking for trouble for themselves.
Zheng Haotian and Lin Ting both picked what they were best at and entered the dense forest accompanied by three sergeants.
Each person is assigned a zone of their own, in which they can set up traps as they please. The results of the assessment are closely related to the quality, quantity and timing of the pitfalls. Under the supervision of three seasoned veterans, errors in judgment are rarely possible.
Zheng Haotian looked around, he smiled slightly, put down the things in his hand, took out a shovel, and began to dig the soil. He moved extremely fast, and in a few clicks he had dug a deep pit of earth.
The eyelids of the three sergeants behind him twitched slightly.
As the so-called connoisseurs knew if there was one as soon as they made a move, as soon as they saw Zheng Haotian's actions, they immediately understood that this was a veteran who was good at arranging traps.
However, Zheng Haotian's next performance surprised them more and more.
He made a triple trap with wooden rafts, earthen pits, and fishing nets, and the distance between each trap was just right. If someone really came to this area, then there was a chance that ** would not be able to escape from this place.
However, what really frightened the three of them was that the teenager had less than a quarter of an hour to complete the triple trap.
His movements were fluid and powerful, and when he laid the trap, it was like a work of art, and when it was all done, the three sergeants even had a dreamlike vertigo.
Zheng Haotian looked at the expressions of the three of them and couldn't help but smile proudly.
Among the Zheng family's family heirlooms, what he is best at is trapping. This time's arrangement is just a small test, far from showing the real strength.
You know, the traps he can set are at most five in a row, not three.
However, when it comes to the assessment here, the triple trap is already beyond the limit that most people can reach. If he really moves out all the five traps, I'm afraid that he will be in trouble.
Looking at Zheng Haotian, who was smiling, the three sergeants glanced at each other and nodded in unison.
When they took Zheng Haotian out of the forest, the examiner was surprised: "So fast? ”
When setting a trap, it is easy to fail, and this kind of thing is not uncommon in the assessment of past dynasties.
The three of them smiled bitterly, and one of them said, "Captain, this young man is very powerful, he has set up a chain of triple traps in a quarter of an hour, and he is much stronger than us." ”
The chief sergeant leader of the main examination was shocked, he groaned for a while, and actually went to the scene to investigate.
After seeing the triple trap with his own eyes, even this person was impressed. He came to Zheng Haotian and said, "Young man, your archery skills and trap skills are not trivial, and you are a natural scout. It's better to enlist with me, as long as you agree, I will guarantee that you will become the captain of the squad within two years, and even if you can become the captain of the scout brigade in the future, it may not be known. ”
The people around all muttered to themselves, looking at Zheng Haotian with surprise and admiration.
Such a young man, he is already so good at a young age, and if he is older, he will be able to pay it back.
Zheng Haotian hurriedly followed Lin Ting's example and politely refused, although the sergeant leader was regretful in his heart, he was helpless.
A moment later, Lin Ting came out of the exam, and the time he spent was second only to Zheng Haotian, but the quality of the trap was not inferior. Naturally, it also passed smoothly.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and parted here. Lin Ting continued to stay outside the barracks to participate in the scout assessment, but Zheng Haotian re-entered the barracks.
ps: Wednesday this week, a good opportunity, ask for a recommendation ticket......
