Chapter 133: Sudden Shock
"Zilawi, what's the worry?"
"The Last Will Be"
Hu Wei and Zilawi knelt down in front of Valencia again, their faces stern. To read the latest chapters, please lock the biquge.info of Aishang Novels
Valencia smiled implicitly and said, "The merits of the two of them, I have just been told by the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the imperial capital.
As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing. Today, you will show your magic arrow skills in public to establish the prestige of our country and open the eyes of the people. β
Hu Wei and Zilawi should be 'yes', in such a situation, what other way. Zilawi didn't want to respond. But did he dare to disobey in public?
Shame and loss of life, the difference between one word and the consequences are much worse.
Valencia laughed and said, "Okay. Then let's ask the two generals to perform stunts for me and the people
In order to make this performance exciting enough and enjoyable for the people to watch, the military department also specially selected eight archers from all over the world to have a ring match with the two of you.
The winner of this ring will be awarded the title of God of Arrows. β
"ζ¨" A war drum sounded, and eight archers with outstanding archery skills appeared in the court. The aura of killing slowly drifted into the air.
Hu Wei observed the eight people with special attention, and saw that these eight people, all of them were powerful and strong, and they knew at a glance that they were very good warriors. The effective killing distance of an ordinary bow and arrow is 300 paces, and these eight people were all selected for shooting hearts from 300 paces away. This shows that they all have the ability to lead arrows to kill the enemy from a distance of 300 steps.
If you can organize all these people and get a special force to specialize in assassination, it will be very troublesome. If you can remember one, you should remember one first, and you may not have to, there will be such a force in the future.
"Now I declare, the beginning of the arrow. When Valencia had finished proclamation, she withdrew to the king's seat. The sword and arrow are eyeless, he has to hide himself, who knows what will happen during the arrow competition. If it doesn't work out, who can't figure it out, give him an arrow, it's not worth it.
Ten archers, including Hu Wei and Zilawi, all arrived at the pre-designated location. In order to show fairness, all the bows and arrows used in this competition were provided by the emperor, and everyone's bows and arrows were the same.
The bullseye is 300 steps, and the iron bow of the imperial system has the maximum effective damage, which is also 300 steps. This requires both strength and accuracy, and it is not something that can be shot casually.
As soon as they were ready, Valencia's personal guards handed over their bows and arrows to the hands of the ten of them.
Ten bullseyes and ten people, lined up. Hu Wei smiled in the direction of Ximen Yufeng and Hong, took ten arrows, and carefully examined them one by one. I have been practicing archery for so long, and it is the first time that I don't need to change the bow to shoot arrows. To be honest, he didn't have a bottom in his heart.
That Valencia was really an old fox, and he actually told SΓΉ Hu Wei and the other ten people before the final comparison of arrows, and this time the bows and arrows were all provided by the Empire, which caught them all off guard.
But that's okay, Hu Wei also wants to try it, without changing the bow of the sun, what kind of state his archery skills are. He had always thought that with the same bow and arrow, his archery skills were inferior to Jebe. If he can win this time, it means that he is still improving.
The commander's flag was raised, and the competition was about to begin in earnest. No matter how good it is verbally said, working under the hands is the last word.
The scene was silent, and the eyes of tens of thousands of people were all focused on the ten people on the stage. They will witness the birth of the Imperial Capital Arrow God.
"Put. The flag in the commander's hand was drawn, and his mouth shouted at the same time.
"Brush"
There is a slight difference in the speed of the arrow. Ten arrows shot out at the same time. A little bit of cold light, like a meteor catching the moon, pierced the air and shot at their respective targets.
"Ding"
Tens of thousands of people, dumbfounded, ten arrows, nine arrows inserted, only one arrow, nothing. It's too much higher than they expected.
Anyone who knows how to shoot arrows knows that the range of a standard bow and arrow is 300 steps, and the strength of a 300-step bow is difficult to hit the bull's-eye at 300 paces away. It's not just a matter of archery, it's also a bit of luck. Because when the arrow is close to the bull's-eye, the force is already very small, and any gust of wind may make the arrow deflect.
People love to watch alternatives. Nine arrows were stuck in the bull's-eye, and they didn't care. They care about whose arrows are not on the bull's-eye.
Seeing this, everyone was in an uproar again. Because they found that the empty bullseye was the most boasted by His Majesty Valencia just now, the one who shot the third prince of Anrong, Lin Zhengfeng, with an arrow. Not only did his arrow not hit the bull's-eye, but it even flew only 200 paces before it fell to the ground. I can't even get to Ben.
Hong held her little hand very nervously, and only when she saw the arrow in Hu Wei's bull's-eye did she secretly breathe a sigh of relief. She is the one who knows the most about changing the bow of the sun, except for Hu Wei. Although she didn't know that the sun-changing bow had the characteristics of a telescope, she knew that Hu Wei had never used a standard bow and arrow since he started practicing archery. She was afraid that Hu Wei would not be used to those bows and arrows.
In contrast, Ximen Yufeng is much calmer. Because she is not calling for Hu Wei to become an arrow god, she is looking at Hu Wei this competition with her sister's eyes, no matter whether Hu Wei can get good results or not, Hu Wei is her favorite brother.
Renata also came to the scene today, and she was not discouraged by Hu Wei's refusal to marry her. She was confident that she would definitely be able to take Hu Wei under her command. As for whether it is an arrow god, she really doesn't call. What she values is Hu Wei's ability to command troops and tactics, even if Hu Wei is the God of Arrows, she will not use Hu Wei as an assassin. will win, soldiers will be brave and strong, and the excellence of Hu Wei lies in his brain.
The first round of arrows was fired, and the happiest was Valencia. Because he confirmed the fact that Qilawi's archery method was not good, I believe that as long as there are a few more arrows, everyone in the world will know this fact, and his goal will be achieved.
There are those who are happy, and there are naturally those who are unhappy. Zilawi is in a bad mood right now. It would be nice if one more person misses the bull's-eye, but now, he is the only one who misses, which is really a shame. And you have to keep losing it after that. He and Ben didn't have the strength to draw the entire bow, and the few arrows behind him, he couldn't have hit either. I can't shoot with this.
In this arrow competition, each person has ten arrows, shoot ten times, and finally count the results and select the arrow god.
Zilawi gave up the game in the fifth round. He couldn't afford to lose this person at the time, he missed all five shots, and now every time he raises his bow, he is booed by the audience. Shoot any more and he'll go crazy.
Hu Wei's five arrows were all shot in the bull's-eye, but his heart was not easy. He has been using the sun-changing bow, and he doesn't think that the earth-changing sunbow is very powerful, at most, it has the function of a telescope. But he didn't need to change the day bow, and he knew that the original day change bow had to surpass ordinary standard bows and arrows in terms of strength and control. These five arrows, he used his mental strength to support them
Outside the east gate of the imperial capital.
It should be due to the fact that the Celestial City is holding an arrow tournament in Valencia, so this side also provides a higher level of prohibition. Red Fangzheng didn't go to the venue, he was leading people around. Valencia is now watching the game outside the city, and as the defender of the outer city of the imperial capital, he must pay attention to all aspects of the movement and fully ensure Valencia's safety.
The red square had just finished inspecting the east gate. He was about to inspect the next place, when he suddenly found that the yellow sand was rolling and the sound of horses' hooves was urgent, and he couldn't help frowning. Now that martial law has been imposed in the imperial capital, ordinary people don't even walk around, but there is a horse galloping here. And look at it like this, it's not just a horse.
"Stop me. Red Fangzheng said sharply.
"I have urgent military affairs, who will stop me. Delaying military intelligence is a capital offense. The man who had taken his sights saw from afar that the road ahead was stopped, and cried out.
Red Fang just wanted to say that it doesn't matter what kind of military situation you are, it's your reason that you want to go over, I want to stop you, it's my duty, and the emergency military affairs are amazing. No matter how urgent your military affairs are, they can't compare to special circumstances.
However, he didn't say what Red Fangzheng said, because he knew the person who came. This person is the city guard of the Royal Cavalry Regiment, the same level as him, and this time he followed the corps commander Kubilas to lead 500,000 troops to attack Anrong for the second time.
This is the day, and their march has just reached Anrong, so it is difficult to win on the spot so quickly? Or is it another failure
"General Li, I'm Hong Fangzheng, how is the prince now, is he okay?" He didn't dare to ask the military directly, but turned around and asked about the situation in Kubilas.
Kubilas is Valencia's own uncle, and if he has no physical problems, it means that there is no problem with the troops, and if something goes wrong with him, then all the problems will come.
In Hong Fangzheng's view, by doing so, he can get some news from the mouths of the people who come to him.
General Li ignored Red Fangzheng's question, and said with a stern face: "Red Fangzheng is defending the city, the military situation is urgent, I must immediately participate in His Majesty Valencia, please open the way immediately." β
Of course, he knew who Red Fangzheng was, but the news was too shocking for him to say casually.
As soon as Hong Fangzheng heard this, his face immediately became ugly. This is not because of the attitude of the person who came and the tone of his speech, but because of him, something happened, and it was a big deal.
After nine arrows, six of the ten archers have withdrawn, and Hu Wei and the other three are dueling. Hu Wei gritted his teeth and pulled out the bow and arrow in his hand, he is now a hit in nine arrows, and the other three have one arrow that has not been shot in the bull's-eye, as long as there is one more arrow, he can get the title of the arrow god. Although it is a false name, it is really important for Hu Wei to ask for it now.
Drawing the bow and arrows, Hu Wei's eyes were a little black, which was a signal for the transition of the use of spiritual power. Large beads of sweat kept dripping down his head and body, and the ground under his feet was wet.
Ximen Yufeng's hand and Hong were tightly grasped together, and the tens of thousands of people present were all quiet. In just a few seconds, they can watch the birth of the arrow god.
This is a very convincing arrow god, and everyone's eyes are watching. Three hundred steps, ten shots, ten hits, this is real strength, not sealed.
"Brush"
A cold light shot out, and on Hu Wei's bull's-eye, there was another arrow, hit, all, indisputable, Hu Wei used his strength to confirm his archery skills to the world, this arrow god, he deserves it.
Just as everyone was about to cheer, a rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded. suppressed everyone's voices at once.
"Urgent military affairs, get out of the way of the people in front. Red Fangzheng shouted loudly. I saw that he was holding a big gun in his hand, and he kept waving it. The one who let it slow was directly knocked away by him. He had a premonition that something big was going to happen this time, and personally helped General Li open the way.
"Daddy?"
At a glance, Red saw Red Fangzheng riding straight through the crowd. She knew Hong Fangzheng's temper very well, and she knew that something was going to happen.
It wasn't just Red who knew that something was going to happen, but Valencia, who was sitting tall, also knew it. It's just that he doesn't know what happened.
Hu Wei hit all the arrows, but he didn't get cheers. He couldn't care much now, wiping his sweat and wondering what was going on.
Red Fang Zheng opened the last group of people, lifted his horse, and opened a road to Valencia for General Lee. General Li dismounted and ran to a distance of more than thirty meters from Valencia. This is a cordon, even if there is urgent military affairs, he cannot run directly in front of Valencia. This is the royal spectrum.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, there will be an urgent military report at the end. General Li knelt down on one knee covered in dirt, and held up a ** official document sealed with fire paint in his hand.
"Newspaper. Valencia said calmly. He couldn't think of anything big about it for the time being. So I'm not in a hurry to see what's in the fire paint. He's still able to use Zilawi to hit the others.
"Yes. "According to the practice of the empire, 'newspaper' means to say directly to the face what is to be reported.
General Li was a little hesitant to announce the news in person. But thinking about it, he decided to report it directly, anyway, it won't be long before the entire Tianfeng Continent will know about this news.
General Li said loudly: "Anrong recently declared himself a vassal to the Lin Gui Empire, and the Lin Gui Empire entered Anrong on the grounds of protecting the subject country. β
"Wow"
As soon as this news came out, the audience was in an uproar. The people below were so far away that they couldn't hear what General Lee was saying. It's just that the soldiers and generals in the vicinity all heard it clearly. This is a big event, and many people can't sit still.
Hu Wei was not far from General Li, and he also heard the news of General Li for a while. His first instinct was to turn to Valencia. Valencia's reaction, as expected, was the same as he thought, and his whole face turned blue.
Valencia marched into Anrong twice, the first time with Ximen Yufeng as the marshal, commanding 380,000 troops, directly attacking Anrong, after the failure, he ignored the difficulties of the empire's grain and grass, and transferred 500,000 troops again, and then entered Anrong. This time he used Kubilas, his own uncle as the marshal.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Valencia's two troops entered Anrong, and the timing was not very good. But Valencia was determined to do so. Even if it was very difficult, he had to do it.
Why is that?
The reason is simple, because Valencia was the grandson of Rijkaard, who took over the Mandala Empire. He couldn't bear to love the empire that was in the hands of Rijkaard, and when it fell into his hands, he was actually going to be bullied by a small country like Anrong, and he was afraid that he would be laughed at by people in other empires.
To put it bluntly, Valencia is for the sake of face. Qingzhou was beaten like that by the Anrong people, and the Red Turban Army rebelled in Langtian, which made him feel that he had lost face. Therefore, he must take the Anrong people to open the knife, and he wants to tell all the people in the Tianfeng Continent that the Mandala Empire is in their hands, and it is equally powerful.
Valencia looked stunned at the detailed battle report in his hand, which was written by his imperial uncle Cubilas. The content of the battle report was much more severe than that reported by General Li just now.
Now it is not only the question of An Rong claiming to the Guilin Empire and the Guilin Empire sending troops to protect An Rong, but the Guilin Empire clearly proposing that the Mandala Empire should pay war reparations to An Rong. Otherwise, the Guilin Empire would have to march into Qingzhou and start a war with the Empire.
"Bastard. β
Valencia tore up the battle report in his hand, got up and rushed off the rostrum. The three princes and a group of concubines, and the guards hurriedly followed behind Valencia.
The carriage was already ready, and as soon as Valencia arrived, it immediately set off and rushed back to the water palace in the inner city.
The other ministers on the stage looked at each other one by one, and everyone knew that the stormy days of the empire were coming soon.
After losing the two battles against Anrong, the hat of the first military power in the Imperial Tianfeng Continent had already been thrown to the ground and stepped on a few more feet. With the strong intervention of the Guilin Empire, other empires that are waiting and watching will not let go of this good opportunity in vain.
The Mandala Empire was located in the Central Plains, bordered on all sides by six of the other seven empires. When Rijkaard was in power, he did not do much bad to the surrounding countries, and even forcibly turned one Lin empire into three.
At that time, Rijkaard's military was strong, and this neighboring country dared not speak out. But now the military strength of the empire is obviously not as good as before, as the so-called thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi, now is the time for those guys to jump out.
Anyone who knows a little bit about imperial history knows that the Lin Gui Empire and the Guilin Empire hate the Mandala Empire the most, and now that the Lin Gui Empire has jumped out openly, then the Guilin Empire will not wait too long, if they can't find a solution to the problem, then soon, they will be attacked from many sides.
Don't think that other empires are good birds, as long as Lin Gui and Guilin do it, Chihe and Sebai will not sit and watch. They can make a big move for a few pieces of broken ground, and the fat pork belly of the Mandala Empire, will he not bite?
And the Ningnan Empire will definitely jump out. He didn't have to send troops. As long as he uses economic means to stir up from it, he will bring great trouble to the Mandala Empire.
The generals on the stage, the heads of the families with real power, all have their own plans. They must plan their own way out before troubled times come.
A dark cloud drifted across the sky, and the most chaotic history of the Mandala Empire began.
