Then Helian Tieshu bowed his hand to the prince of the Song Kingdom and Duan Yu: "His Royal Highness Zhao, please! His Royal Highness Duan, please!"
Finally, he turned to the prince of Goryeo and invited, saying, "Your Highness, please!"
The six of them responded in unison: "General, please." ”
The group was led by the Helian Iron Tree, through a large garden, and through several cloisters, to the school grounds of the palace.
I saw that there was a grandstand at the west head of the palace field, where a veiled lady was sitting, presumably the Empress Dowager Li Qiushui.
She was surrounded by maids and guards, and in front of her sat many princes and nobles.
Thirty feet away from the crowd on the north side of the school yard is a row of arrow targets, not to mention twenty. The next two zhang were an earthen wall to prevent the off-target feather arrows from entering the palace.
Not long after, a group of people galloped into the school field on horses, and when they looked at it, they saw a group of soldiers with carved bows in their hands.
After the soldiers with bows and arrows stopped their horses, they only heard Helian Tieshu say loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the first competition for selecting horses today is a contest of martial arts. The Empress Dowager and her old man originally wanted you to go to the ring to fight with real swords and guns, but the emperor was afraid that you would make any mistakes, so she changed to the school archery art, and the strength of the martial arts was represented by the level of archery. Yuer three arrows, two arrows hit the bull's-eye to enter the next round of the test. ”
After speaking, he ordered those Western Xia soldiers to dismount. Bow and arrow for those who come to choose a horse.
After everyone listened, they exchanged heads and talked about the method of this competition.
Those who are skilled in bows and horses naturally rejoice. But a person like Duan Yu who has never touched a bow or arrow since he was a child is undoubtedly secretly scolded.
In addition, the sun had sunk in the west and the sky was dark, so everyone had to rely on the bright moon in the sky, the torches held high by the soldiers around them, and the braziers erected next to the arrow targets.
I learned that the moves I had practiced hard for the enemy Xiao Feng couldn't be used for a while. Duan Yu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and thought to himself, "What should I do? I have never learned archery, so why do I have to compare arrows......?" It's better to have me in the ring and give someone a beating. ”
Although I was disappointed. But at a glance, he saw that Dongfang was undefeated with the beauty of the Heavenly Immortals beside him, and his mind immediately calmed down, and he said to himself: "Duan Yu, Duan Yu." When you encounter such a small setback, you give up easily. Isn't it too shameful to say that you want to solve problems for the fairy sisters? I haven't learned archery in the past, but how can I learn it now?
After making up his mind, Duan Yu was not in a hurry to take the bow and arrow to shoot, but calmed down, paying close attention to the every move of those who were good at shooting around him, and planned to come to learn and use, and to speculate and sell.
And with his general thoughts, there is also Xuzhu, in the Shaolin Temple for more than 20 years, he has not learned archery.
But to see my lover. He could only hold his breath and pay close attention to the movements of those who were skilled in archery around him.
"Boom", "Boom", "Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh". After a while, the school yard was filled with the sound of bowstrings and bows bouncing back to their original shapes, the sound of feathered arrows breaking through the air, and then the sound of "knock", "knock" and "knock" of arrows hitting the target.
Among those who came to apply for the horse, there were naturally not a few who were strong in martial arts.
Therefore, after a few rounds of bending the bow and releasing arrows, more than half of the suitors hit the bull's-eye with all three arrows.
The Western Xia nobles who watched from a distance couldn't help but admire the young talent of the archers.
And Duan Yu and Xuzhu gradually saw the way to let the arrow hit the bull's-eye:
The archer must stand on the starting ray, with the left shoulder facing the target, the left hand holding the bow, the left foot slightly tilted inward, and the weight of the body falling evenly on the feet, the arrow on the arrow platform, the monochrome main feather facing him, the tail groove of the arrow buckled on the bowstring, the right hand with the index finger, middle finger and ring finger buckled with the string, the index finger placed above the tail of the arrow, and the middle finger and ring finger placed below the tail of the arrow.
When raising the bow, the left arm sinks, the elbow is rotated inward, and the bow is pushed with the left hand and fixed; then the bow is pulled apart with the force of the left shoulder pushing and the right shoulder pulling, and continues to pull until the right hand is in the jaw of the tiger's mouth; in the process of opening the bow, the eye, the front sight and the aiming point on the target are connected into a line at the same time; after the bow is opened, the right shoulder continues to be strengthened after aiming, and the three fingers of the right hand that hold the string are quickly opened, and the arrow is shot.
After the arrow hits the target, the left arm is relaxed from the wrist, elbow, shoulder to the whole body.
The two of them already have a foundation in martial arts, and they have deep internal strength, so they are also familiar with learning archery.
After a while, I saw that there were no arrows in the school yard, only Xuzhu and the royal relatives of various countries.
"Knock", "knock", "knock", "knock" only heard a drum sound, and the Xixia soldiers in the school yard had once again cleaned up the feather arrows on the target board in the distance.
Each had a military marquis present a treasure bow and a pot of arrows to Xiao Feng and the others.
This time, the prince of Goryeo, Wang Yan, took the lead, raised his bow and arrows, and fired three arrows in a row.
But after hearing the three rings of "dong", "dong" and "dong", everyone saw that the three arrows were from top to bottom, in the shape of "one", straight into the center of the arrow target.
Then the Great Song Dynasty Wu Rongmu Wang Zhao Tong stepped forward, without saying a word, "whoosh", "whoosh" and "whoosh" are also three arrows, shooting directly at the bull's-eye.
What is even more powerful than Wang Yan is that these three arrows are tied to the arrow target in the shape of "Pin", which is obviously closer to the average distance from the center.
While the people present cheered for him, they all thought secretly: "I didn't expect this scholar-like prince to have such superb archery skills!"
Dongfang Undefeated just wanted to step forward to show his skills, but he heard an unconvinced voice next to him: "Hmph! What is this, look at me!"
Dongfang Undefeated turned his head and found that the speaker was none other than Prince Tubo Zongzan.
It turns out that although he usually has a somewhat arrogant and unreasonable personality, he has been guided by famous teachers since he was a child, and he is skilled in bows and horses.
"Oh, in that case, the prince pleases first. Dongfang Undefeated smiled.
"Okay, you're in for a good time. Zong Zan said, pulled his bow and set up an arrow, aimed at a target thirty zhang away, only to hear the sound of "whoosh" and "knock", an arrow flew out, hitting the bull's-eye.
Before anyone present could react, the second arrow from his bow had already been fired.
He could only hear the sound of "Karara", and unexpectedly, the arrow he shot behind him actually split the one that had been nailed to the bull's-eye in half vertically along the very center.
"Good. After being slightly stunned, everyone erupted into a thunderous cheer.
The cheers continued, and Zongzan's third feathered arrow had already flown to the target, splitting the second arrow from it.
After witnessing his magic skills, many suitors thought that he should be the first person in archery on the scene.
As everyone knows, the best is yet to come.
Duan Yu and Xuzhu stepped forward at the same time and glanced at each other for encouragement.
Then they each took an arrow from the quiver and carefully drew their bows according to the archery they had learned.
The bow is like a crescent moon, and the arrow is like a meteor.
I only heard the sound of a bowstring trembling with a "boom", and the sound of a feather arrow breaking through the air with a "whoosh", and the two arrows flew out together. (To be continued......)
