Zhang Yang's explanation of the hunt left the barbarian speechless.

For archers, there is no difference in difficulty between birds and animals, but the birds are small in size, and a group of people have to eat as many birds as a deer, and the hunting skills must be very skillful.

The taste of the birds is actually not good, and it is troublesome to deal with, and the Turks don't like to eat it, but this group of Great Zhou soldiers will prefer to eat something different.

The brute no longer bothered with this problem, there were other competitions. What about wrestling, Da Zhou practiced all the formations, emphasizing the cooperation of the troops and each small group, and you can't be stronger than the Turks in wrestling, right?

But the second one was horseback riding.

Happy runway, run and you're done.

The first Turk to play ran three times, and finally had no choice but to give up. Every time, he either fell off the horse and waited for rescue with a wooden shelf, or hugged the railing to beckon the horse back.

The first time I ran in a hurry, I wanted to run to the finish line in one go, I did a lot of work, dodged left and right, and finally couldn't react and was forced to abandon the horse. I was very tired, and then, I became familiar with the runway, and the audience sang about it.

The second time, I deliberately controlled the running speed, but the more I went to the back, the more I couldn't do the avoidance action, and finally I was exhausted and couldn't hold on anymore.

The third time, I controlled my speed and maintained my physical strength, and I really almost used it up, but later, the horse was not fast enough to jump over obstacles.

The same is true for the first person to play in Da Zhou.

Happy runway, running until people turn over on their backs, out of breath, just competing with the runway, and not paying attention to the results of the game.

Therefore, in the case that the first three people really couldn't finish running, they still decided to reduce the runway, otherwise they couldn't tell the winner.

Really, pacing slowly is the fastest way to pass.

Da Zhou and the six Turkic men stood on the field panting for breath, while laughing at each other's ugliness on the track, no one finished, but they could be very happy.

And then the same conclusion is reached.

"It's a torture track, but it's really fun, and people who don't ride well really can't react and experience the fun, let alone get through it."

Maybe they don't ride very well.

This kind of difficult sport is also very natural and very enjoyable.

The crowd of onlookers was very happy, these people were high-spirited at first, but in the end they were clumsy as bears, and they were swept left and right, like children who could not ride horses. Although it will be very fun to watch the victory of the Tang Dynasty, it is even more interesting to watch these soldiers appear in the arena.

The problem is that the runway is simply too long.

Borrowing the experiments of people who had tried hunting competitions, the decision was finally made to leave only one-third of the length of the runway to adapt to the physical strength of the two parties.

With this change, the game can also end earlier and get a result.

The six people who are guinea pigs get valuable rest and adjustment time, and when everyone is done, they get back on board.

There is no suspense in the outcome.

Zhang Yang's subordinates are always a little better than the barbarian's subordinates.

The brute was furious again, "It's not fair. The soldiers of the Great Zhou must have practiced in private, and the Turks grew up on horseback and were definitely the most flexible in riding. ”

Many Turkic people have carefully observed the obstacle crossing of the Great Zhou soldiers, and their postures are almost the same. For example, when dodging a high obstacle, first hold the horse's head with both hands, then slide down with your right leg, pull up with your left leg, and lean to the right.

Man'er's guess is reasonable.

Shen Sanwen expressed disbelief, "This is the first horse racing track in the Great Zhou, and it is impossible to divide such a long territory in the military camp to do these things." The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty have the item of training equestrianism, everyone learns seriously, does it well, and the steps are the same, not the results that can be produced in a few days. This competition was made a few days ago, and the track was just completed, with people from both sides staring. ”

Barbarian: "..."

Dead people can tell you alive.

It is indeed impossible for Da Zhou to do this, because Da Zhou has never thought of deciding problems through competition, and the real problems must be solved on the battlefield.

To say what the Turks have trained and prepared in advance is what many believe.

In the second game, Da Zhou won by a narrow margin, and the barbarian began to panic.

If she loses one more game, she will stay in Luoyang for three years! The Turks could not lose again, but she had no confidence.

How can it be so easy to let two chase three, the military heart is panicked.

The Turks also talked a lot, the Great Zhou people have changed, they are no longer the little weak chickens in the past, and they have surpassed them in hunting and riding, which is really terrible.

The barbarian barely calmed down and began to reassure the army, "Don't panic, everyone. There are also wrestling and fighting wine, the Great Zhou military orders are strict, the armor does not leave the body, and they are not allowed to drink alcohol without reason, what do they compare with us. In the next archery competition, everyone must cheer up and give full play to your strength. Your opponents are strong, but you are definitely not weak. Take up your bows and arrows, and shoot them to the gods, and do not lose faith because of a momentary defeat, for the Turks will win. ”

When the Turks heard this, they were immediately encouraged, and many repeated, "The Turks will win."

There was a commotion here, and these contestants in Da Zhou refused to admit defeat, and one of them shouted outside the field, "Da Zhou will win." ”

The crowd outside the hunting ground was quiet for a moment, and then shouted one after another, "Da Zhou will win".

Gradually, the voice became neat again.

Da Zhou will win.

Da Zhou will win.

Da Zhou will win.

It was overwhelming and deafening.

This is the people's heart of the Great Zhou unity, the oath to the Turks.

The barbarian didn't say a word again, Shen San asked the people to signal the people outside the arena to be quiet, and then announced the start of the third competition.

Shen Sanwen arranged archery, which was naturally more difficult than ordinary archery, and he only adjusted two contents.

First, the bullseye is smaller than before, and the ordinary red bullseye can account for a quarter of the target area, and he can only prepare one-tenth of it.

The second is that there is only one target surface for two people's shooting, and if the focus is not enough, the arrow enters the target surface too shallowly, and the downed arrows are not counted.

A very small target can hold a limited number of arrows.

This is a rule that both Man'er and Zhang Yang agree on.

Archery is about being fast and accurate, and if the strength is too small, it is not ruthless enough, and the skill is not as good as others.

This competition is the most evenly matched, Zhang Yang has trained to cross obstacles, trained to shoot, and led the troops to hunt birds and animals, but the strength is a little lacking in practice. Flexibility on the battlefield often means more opportunities, and a normal person's strength is generally not up to the level of submission skills.

This time, there was no special arrangement for the selection of candidates for the competition, and no one knew whether the archery skills of the person who fought first on the opposite side was good or inferior, and the Turks did not have the intention of beating the weak at all, and Da Zhou had no way to deal with it.

The two sides are exactly in the order of the draw, and everything is as fate as it comes.

The Great Zhou and Turkic people took turns shooting, and the lottery was drawn to determine who would shoot first.

If the first person to shoot can stand firm in the bull's-eye, the person who shoots behind will have an inch less room to score. The person who shoots last can decide whether to attack or score according to his own strength and the strength of his opponent when he shoots the last arrow.

Fair enough.
