Chapter 208: Heavenly General
This series of accidents had been out of righteous arrangement, and when he saw the two warriors fighting on the ground, he couldn't give advice for them, so he had to shake his head and say nothing, letting them choose their own methods.
Seeing Bao Yuanqian's inquiry, Ping'an stared at him for a long time and did not despise him, but said: "As Jian Shangshu said, Bao Si has the ability of an ancient gentleman to pierce Yang in a hundred steps, but I don't know if Bao Si has heard of the ancient gentleman shooting through Qiza?"
Jian Yi frowned slightly after hearing this, and said in his heart that he was just to arrange things arranged by the emperor, why was he caught by your kid when he saw the opportunity to flatter?
Although Ping An did not despise Bao Yuanqian, the warrior's aggressive conceit could not be hidden. This martial artist has a competitive temperament, which makes Bao Yuanqian a little uncomfortable.
I saw that Bao Yuanqian was neither humble nor arrogant and said: "In the past, when I heard that in the Spring and Autumn Period, Pan Dang and Yang Youji were the two great heroes of the Chu State. Back then, Pan Dang did not accept the archery skills of Yang Youji, so he tried to raise Youji, but the archery skills of the two were the best, and it was difficult to distinguish between the two of them. Therefore, Pan Dang proposed the method of shooting the breastplate, wanting to decide the winner with strength. It's just that... The Pan Dang pierced the five armors with one arrow, but Yang Yuji pierced the seven armors with one arrow, and General Ping An wanted to emulate the ancients, but I don't know how General Ping An knew if he would be the second Pan Dang?"
Ping'an laughed when he heard this, and said proudly with his hand: "I just watched the archery method of the Bao Division, if I talked about a bow and two arrows, I would be ashamed of myself. But if you talk about the strength of the hard bow, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Bao priest to win."
His words were a little arrogant, after all, in his opinion, even if Bao Yuanqian's shot was accurate, it was just a trick, if he opened a hard bow to pierce the armor, Bao Yuanqian would have no possibility of tricking.
Bao Yuanqian laughed, "I wonder how many layers of armor General Ping An can shoot through?"
Ping An conceitedly said, "Since it is to imitate the style of the ancients, it is naturally better to take the seven armors."
He didn't say that he could penetrate a few layers, but he said that he would follow the example of the ancients to take the seven grades, and Bao Yuanqian, who was so evasive and light, heard it in his ears, and he already had some guesses in his heart. The peace of the heart seems to be reckless, but the words are just right.
Bao Yuanqian said to Jian Yi: "Since General Ping An has taken the seven armors, please ask Master Jian to prepare the seven armors for the next generation."
Seeing that the two of them had come to a conclusion, Jian Yi personally led the Imperial Forest Army to take the armor.
In just a moment, there were guards carrying cuirasses, stacking them layer by layer on top of the arrow target, and then fixing and tying them firmly.
Bao Yuanqian looked at these breastplates, all of which were one-color composite leather armor. This kind of leather armor imitates the Spring and Autumn Armor, and is wrapped in cowhide inside and out, with thin wooden planks superimposed in the middle.
This kind of leather armor is excellent for bronze weapons, but it is dwarfed by the fine iron tools after 2,000 years. However, the seven layers are stacked together to win by quantity, and its defense power must not be underestimated.
Jian Yi didn't have a good face for these martial artists who stirred up trouble and caused trouble to themselves. Originally, the scenery was happy, but there were always people who didn't open up and jumped out to make things difficult.
He really wanted to prepare seven-layer iron armor for Ping'an, and prepare seven-layer silk armor for Bao Yuanqian, which was very disgusting. It's just that after thinking about it, since it is based on the method of the ancient gentleman of the Spring and Autumn Period, it is still necessary to prepare seven layers of leather armor as usual.
After all, even if the strength of the two of them was stronger, this iron arrow would not be able to penetrate the seven-layer iron armor no matter what.
Everything was ready, and Jian Yi asked the guards to present various longbows for the two to choose from.
Jian Yi knew Zhu Di's thoughts, but seeing that Bao Yuanqian only shot seven buckets of bows, he thought that his archery was skillful and his strength was not enough, so he specially picked Zhang Yishi bow to Bao Yuanqian.
It's just that the armor is not the right one, and this stone bow is afraid of the test of armor piercing.... As soon as he thought of this, he frowned, and said in his heart that this peace is really boring, and it is disobedient to the heavens!
I saw Bao Yuanqian smile slightly, but he didn't take the bow, but only politely said, "General Ping'an, please first."
Although Ping An wanted to see Bao Yuanqian take a few stone bows, he was preempted by Bao Yuanqian, and he had to reach out and hold a three-stone strong bow!
The pulling force of these three stone strong bows is three or four hundred catties, so the bow body is extremely long.
Ping'an held the bowstring, five fingers into a fist and pulled hard, the bow body shook and pulled the bowstring five times in a row, winning the applause of the house!
The face of the Royal Forest Armor was full of admiration, and it was extremely rare for someone to be able to open two stones. This peace can actually pull the three-stone strong bow five times, and his face remains unchanged, he is really brave and champion of the three armies!
"Ping Bao'er is still the same Ping Bao'er after all." Seeing his majesty, Zhu Di groaned slightly: "It's just that the foolish loyalty is too great, and it can't be used by the widow."
Mu Junjiao watched from the side the peace of holding the three-stone strong bow, which had never been heard of in the Yunnan army who could open the three-stone hard bow, and said in her heart that this time Bao Yuanqian would definitely suffer a big loss.
Bao Yuanqian saw that Ping'an's strength was overwhelming, and he was much stronger than Zhao Xi in terms of opening a hard bow. He didn't take the bow either, but just made a please.
Ping'an took a thick arrow like a small spear, and as soon as it was wound, he looked sideways at Bao Yuanqian, who was suddenly unmoving, and saw that he was still immovable, which made him put his mind down.
After all, Zhao Xi shot first, and this bag of Yuan Qian's bow and two arrows ruined Zhao Xi's good deeds. If he compares armor with him, this Bao Yuanqian will fly his own arrows with a bow and two arrows, even if only Bao Yuanqian only shoots through a layer of armor, it will be his victory.
Now that he shoots alone, he can do his best without distraction.
I saw him walk thirty steps away, calm and calm, holding a longbow in his hand, slowly lifting up, taking a long arrow, the praying mantis opened an arrow step back and forth on his legs, took a breath, and pulled the bowstring with his right arm to gurgle, full of full moon!
The Chinese warriors in the field were all staring together, not daring to exhale a little, and not daring to blink their eyelids, just afraid of missing the peerless moment!
Ping An pulled out the longbow, but he was not in a hurry to release the arrow, his hands were as steady as a rock, and when he exhaled, the bowstring collapsed, and the sharp arrow flashed through the air with a sharp roar!
"Wave!" A sound came from a distance, and the sharp arrow sank into the leather armor, and even ushered in the cheers of the surrounding armor soldiers, which was mighty!
The Imperial Forest Army carried the armor and target to the bottom of the stairs, checked it in public, and Jian Yi took the arrow and said to Zhu Di: "Back to the saint, General Ping'an shot through six layers of leather armor."
Zhu Di said with a smile: "It is worthy of Ping Bao'er of the three armies, and his might is not diminished."
He couldn't tell the difference between joy and anger, and he didn't know if this was the year of Hongwu or the year of Jianwen Jingnan. For a time, everyone did not dare to flatter themselves.
"Priest Bao, it's your turn." Ping An stared at Bao Yuanqian.
Bao Yuanqian stepped forward quickly and stretched out his hand to Ping An amid the discussion of everyone.
Ping An was puzzled, and Bao Yuanqian smiled: "Please also ask General Ping An to borrow a bow."
As soon as he said it, the civil and military discussions continued, and he said in his heart that this guy had just pulled a seven-bucket bow, and now he wanted to open a three-stone bow, which was really an ant swallowing an elephant, and he couldn't help himself!
Ping An looked at Bao Yuanqian curiously, he didn't think that this person could open a three-stone strong bow, but seeing that he insisted, he still handed the bow in his hand to Bao Yuanqian, and instructed: "Bao Si, the strong bow hurts the body, if the strength is not enough, don't force it."
"Thank you, General Ping'an, for your care."
Bao Yuanqian smiled, took the longbow, pulled the bow with one hand, pulled the bow with the other, hey, only heard a loud sound of "collapse", and everything was silent!
Ping'an's face changed greatly, and he looked at Bao Yuanqian in disbelief.
The civil and military warriors stared at the broken bow in Bao Yuanqian's hand, dumbfounded, and couldn't believe that Bao Yuanqian had actually pulled the three-stone strong bow alive!
Bao Yuanqian smiled embarrassedly, "I'm afraid that this bow was broken by General Ping'an, and it was broken when it was gently pulled by the lower officials."
He pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, and he was modest, but no one dared to think so.
Others are not fools, although Ping An opened the hard bow, it is difficult to pull the bow under a pull, this Bao Yuanqian pulled the bow at will, there is only one way to say, that is, this person's strength far exceeds the limit of the three-stone hard bow!
Zhu Di was happy, but he had a strong interest in Bao Yuanqian.
Jian Yi smiled and said, "Bao Si is brave, this bow is a big hidden bow, and it has been carefully cared for in the past, and it is impossible to have flaws."
"Oh..." Bao Yuanqian said suddenly, "That seems to be reckless, I'll change the bow and give it a try."
As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up a three-stone bow again, formed a fist with five fingers, grabbed the bowstring and violently opened the chirping, only to see the bow body gurgle and gradually twist, and in an instant, there was a "collapse" sound, and the three-stone bow collapsed again!
Just when everyone was stunned, Bao Yuanqian stretched out another three-stone bow, but the fate of the bow was the same.
Jian Yi hurriedly came out to stop him, "Stop, it seems that these three stone bows are still softer for Bao Priest."
Bao Yuanqian politely said, "Master Jian is high-minded, Yuan Qian just thinks that these three stone bows don't seem to be the ultimate ability of Yuan Qian."
Jian Yi was a little surprised when he heard this, "The meaning of the priest..."
Bao Yuanqian said with a smile: "The saint said that in the past, the king of Kaiping pulled a five-stone hard bow, but Yuan Qian is not talented, and he also asked Lord Jian to pick a five-stone hard bow for him."
He was speechless and endless, and there was an uproar in the hall when he said it, and both civil and military forces didn't want to believe that Bao Yuanqian had such strength, and suddenly thought that he was bragging, but when he thought that he easily pulled off a few three-stone bows, he felt a chill down his spine.
There has been a lot of fine sweat on Ping'an's forehead, and he can do it if he breaks the three-stone bow, but if he says that he opens the five-stone bow, I'm afraid.... It's not within his means.
Jian Yi looked at Zhu Di with some hesitation, in fact, the competition had already been judged by high and low at this point, but he was a little afraid to make up his mind.
Zhu Di waved his hand and said proudly: "Go and bring the treasure carving bow of the Kaiping King in the forbidden area, I want to see it, it's been thirty years... Since the death of King Kaiping, is there really anyone who can open these five-stone hard bows again?"
Jian Yi obeyed the order and ordered the soldiers to go to the carved bow of the ordinary spring.
The two soldiers lifted the longbow in a moment, not that the bow was heavy, but that the stronger the bow, the longer the bow would be, so the strength and arm span were extremely harsh.
Just like Zhang Sanfeng's bow and four arrows make the long bow foot have the length of a person, because of his tall stature and deep way of easy bone marrow, he can stretch his muscles and bones wantonly, and his arm span increases greatly when he pulls the bow, which is discouraged by ordinary people, but it is not difficult for Zhang Sanfeng.
Bao Yuanqian's ability is inherited from Zhang Sanfeng, so he is naturally the same.
Bao Yuanqian looked at this carved vermilion lacquer bow, which was the longbow made by the Northern Expedition in the Spring Thirty Years ago, when the wolf was sealed, the world was famous, and the wind and clouds were stirred!
This bow is extremely long, but Bao Yuanqian, who has seen Zhang Sanfeng's giant bow, is not surprised. Bao Yuan Qianwu thought to himself, if this bow had a five-stone pull, then the giant bow in Immortal Zhang's hand would have at least seven stones upward.
Thinking of this, although I knew that Zhang Shenxian's martial arts were world-famous, I was also shocked by the terrifying strength of his strength. The master who can beat the ghost power with one palm and has no power to fight back, seriously injure the master who escaped, is half human and half immortal, and has the power of a thousand dragon elephants.
Everyone held their breath, Bao Yuanqian held the longbow and took a special sharp arrow, which must be equipped with a heavy arrow. I think that the stone bow is matched with plum needle heavy arrows, and these five-stone bows and arrows are as thick as spears, and the arrows are as huge as sharp axes!
Bao Yuanqian calmed down, took a long breath, only drank in a deep voice, pulled the string full moon, and the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army saw that Bao Yuanqian had opened a five-stone hard bow, and they raised their guns and halberds to cheer, shouting like thunder, calling mighty!
Ping'an's face was pale, and he still had a trace of luck, thinking that Bao Yuanqian was fighting against the water and forcibly doing it. Now it seems that a mountain is really higher than a mountain!
Bao Yuanqian's internal kung fu ran to the limit, concentrated, and as soon as his fingers were loosened, the roar of the arrows tearing through the sky shook everyone's eardrums, but the sharp arrows were fleeting, and there was no time to cover their ears!
"Phew!" After a loud bang, everyone was shocked and turned their heads to look at the target!
I saw pieces of cuirass flying in the air, sawdust flying, and everyone looked at the arrow target that was shot in amazement, Bao Yuanqian's arrow not only cracked the seven-layer breastplate, but also shot the arrow target!
The long arrow, like a sharp axe, did not stop, and after saving dozens of steps, it shot steadily on the jade floor, firmly rooted between the gaps, and the arrows trembled, like the heartstrings of everyone's shock!
Mu Junjiao's eyes were full of shock, she had come to see the joke, but she never expected that Bao Yuanqian, a pawn from the northwest, would really have such ability!
Zhu Gaosui covered his mouth and said in a low voice, "Second brother, this person is terrifying, I'm afraid he will not be as good as you."
Zhu Gaoxu just raised the corners of his mouth, and he couldn't see his thoughts without saying a word. It seems that Bao Yuanqian's five-stone bow did not surprise him.
Ping An let out a long breath, hugged his fists and said: "I am really talented, I am old after all, this competition, Ping Bao'er I am convinced!"
Strength is respected, safe and sound, arrogant and indulgent, and Bao Yuanqian can no longer afford to despise him.
He came out to stop this time, not to fight for the party, he has no party to fight for alone. Instead, he saw Zhu Di's intention to deliberately promote Bao Yuanqian, and let Jian Yi deliberately reduce the difficulty and let Bao Yuanqian's scenery pass the test.
It's just that as a loyal minister and good general of the Ming Dynasty, he especially can't see favoritism and protection, he already knew that Bao Yuanqian was catering to the holy will in the court, and he was favored by slapping the sycophants. If the heart is to let the incompetent person be the general, hold an important position, and the corpse is a vegetarian meal, it will be the misfortune of the entire Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, he knew that he was going against the holy will, but he also had to come out to stop Bao Yuanqian and test whether this person really had real talent and learning. Now it seems that this Bao Yuanqian's ability is definitely not small, and he has nothing to say.
Zhu Di laughed loudly, and said with great joy: "Okay, what a great general with a bow and two arrows, and a five-stone strong bow!" Bao Si is young but full of ability, he is really a god-sent general of my Ming Dynasty, do you want to be convinced?"
Zhao Xi and Li Jinglong lowered their eyebrows and said nothing, they originally wanted to find stubble, but now Bao Yuanqian's ability has already exceeded their expectations. If it is blocked again, I am afraid that it will be unforgivable.
Jian Yi said with a smile: "Bao Si Official's riding and shooting are unparalleled, and his strength is superb, I think the generals must have been convinced, I think I can test Bao Si Official's martial arts."
Zhu Di nodded and said, "I wonder which general is willing to compete with him?"
The generals were silent, and after seeing the power of Bao Yuanqian's bow, they were reluctant to come forward.
Xue Lu, Marquis of Yangwu, came out and said: "Qi Qi Sheng, the minister Xue Lu was also a person who was accustomed to fighting in the past, and when he saw that Bao Si was so capable, he was ready to try."
He thought very clearly, whether he won or not, Bao Yuanqian, at that time, he would lose a flaw in the practice, and let Bao Yuanqian's scenery be rewarded, after all, archery may be unrivaled Bao Yuanqian, but this is not necessarily the practice of martial arts.
There are many people in the court who hide the dragon and crouching tiger, and it will be troublesome if they block it, and he will be a stepping stone for Bao Yuanqian, which can be regarded as repaying his kindness.
Bao Yuanqian obviously understood Xue Lu's thoughts, and was a little grateful in his heart, and was about to speak.
I only heard Zhu Di smile and said, "Yang Wuhou is seriously injured and has just recovered, so there is no need to make a big move, please be a witness."
Xue Lu's face changed slightly, and he could only thank him for retreating.
Bao Yuanqian thought in his heart, although this Zhu Di was eager to let him pass, but obviously he was wary of Xue Lu and himself, but it was impossible for Xue Lu to pick up this favor.
"Father, let your sons give it a try!"
As soon as he heard the sound of a tiger's roar piercing the sky, a figure jumped down from the temple and took root.
The man untied the wide python robe in mid-air, threw it on his arm, and landed firmly in the hands of the armorer.
He showed a strong outfit inside, standing proudly in the wind, and his demeanor was extraordinary!
Bao Yuanqian raised his eyes and saw that he was a young man with a rough beard, born very similar to Zhu Di!
