Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At night, except for Lan, he slept soundly and deeply.  Both Yu Ji and Xia Nuoya couldn't sleep. The conversations they had during the day echoed in their minds, so that when they woke up the next day, both Xia Nuoya and Yu Ji had some dark circles under their eyes.  Only Lan walked to the prearranged competition venue in high spirits.

    Rather than a competition venue, it is better to say it is an open space surrounded by soldiers and ordnance.  Many soldiers are looking forward to the competition between Du Yun and Lan. They think that Du Yun can defeat Lan almost effortlessly.  As for the so-called competition, it is nothing more than three tests to test the quality of the recruited recruits, and they will be evaluated at the end. Those with poor results will be persuaded to retire or enter the reserve force for training again.

    Lan¡¯s arrival did not attract the attention of the soldiers. When they saw Yu Ji and Xia Nuoya behind them, many soldiers were a little excited. After all, Yu Ji and Xia Nuoya were so beautiful that they would never have the chance to see them.  What's more, during the war, seeing two women with their own merits appear in this remote mountain village naturally made them talk.  Xia Nuoya hadn't seen so many people for a long time, so she could only lower her head timidly and follow Yu Ji to the side.

    Du Yun's arrival was met with cheers, and many soldiers who fought with Du Yun through life and death raised their weapons to cheer for Du Yun. This competition was just a formality to teach the ignorant Lan a lesson.  .  As the arbiter of this competition, it is the leader of the army, Du Yang.

    Du Yang was not wearing his usual armor, but just plain clothes. The guards around him also took off their usual armors and just carried ordinary swords with them, always paying attention to the surrounding situation.  He saw that everyone had almost arrived.  He took a sip of the slightly bitter tea, cleared his throat, and announced the start of the competition.

    The first thing to compete is archery. Although as a cavalry unit, archery is not the most important part, but the effective use of arrows can effectively kill the opponent's effective force before charging, and the arrows can effectively cover the charge of one's own troops. Naturally  It is part of the recruiting test.  Even Du Yang's cavalry unit is equipped with a cavalry archer unit of about thirty people. Most of them can hit seven out of ten shots. Even riding a war horse, they can guarantee a 50% hit rate.

    "Huh, watch it for me." Du Yun took the longbow from the soldier.  Standing at the designated place, Lan glanced disdainfully. At this moment, Lan looked at the longbow handed over by the soldier as if he was playing with a toy, and then played with the ten arrows assigned to each person.

    Of course, Lan is not looking down on Du Yun, nor is she giving up on herself in the eyes of other soldiers. To use a long bow correctly, you must master the strength of the bowstring and the quality of the arrows.  Only in this way can we ensure the accuracy of shooting. Fortunately, this time we are shooting at a target that does not move, rather than a moving prey, so there is no need to predict his trajectory.

    "Sure enough, it's an embroidered pillow." Du Yun glanced at Lan and saw that Lan had no intention of shooting. She covered the bowstring and loosened her fingers. The arrow accurately hit the straw and rough objects like a flying meteor.  The target made of rope, the soldier who was recording next ran to take a look and shouted, "It hit the bull's-eye!"

    "Okay!" Many soldiers cheered, as if Du Yun had won the game. Many people fixed their eyes on Lan, expecting Lan to bow his head and admit defeat.

    Take the arrow, pull the string, and release the arrow.  It was done in one go, and there was no obstacle to his smooth movements. What was even more incredible was that Lan shot the first arrow without even taking aim.  Just when everyone thought that the arrow must have missed the target, they heard the recording soldier say.  "Exactly right on the target." There was obviously some surprise in his tone.  Although Du Yun also hit the bullseye with one blow, he still had a few seconds of aiming. The hunter named Lan not far away achieved an accurate hit in just that short moment.

    "It must be good luck!" Du Yun thought to herself. She took another twenty steps back to the original place, took some aim, and shot another arrow.  This time he also hit the bullseye, and the arrow was firmly planted next to the original one.  There was another burst of cheers.

    Naturally, Lan was not willing to break the rules. He picked up the bow and arrow, took the same twenty steps back, adjusted his breathing slightly, and shot an arrow from the long bow in Lan's hand with a "whoosh", and this  The soldiers couldn't help but sigh. They also hit the bull's-eye.

    After that, both of them took fifty steps back respectively, with the same result. Many soldiers clapped their hands and praised the two, and abandoned their previous prejudice against Lan. Many soldiers also started to cheer for Lan.  However, the size of the venue limited the shooting distance of the two of them, and they could not retreat further.

    "Ah, it looks like it's a draw this time." Lan put down the longbow and scratched his head.  Du Yun was a little unconvinced and was sulking there.

      Just when everyone wanted to watch Du Yang give the result, Du Yang clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, they are all good archery skills, but the competition cannot be every result. Come on, put the arrow on the target."  Tie it to the tree!" He called two soldiers and tied the originally designed fixed target position to the branch.

    The archery target lost its original support, and due to the occasional mountain wind, it naturally swayed. The fixed target became a moving target, and the difficulty suddenly arose.  It made many people sweat. Such a shooting team would be a big challenge for everyone.

    "Each person shoots three arrows, and they must shoot them continuously. The victory will be determined by the arrows that hit at the end." Du Yang simply stated the rules.  In the eyes of others, it is almost impossible.

    The first person to shoot was Du Yun. She was also worried about such a difficult shooting, but since it could determine the outcome.  She also willingly walked to the shooting position and started taking aim.

    The moving target swayed on the branches, and the lush leaves on the trees blocked many of the targets. Du Yun held her breath, made an aiming gesture, and then.  .  .  Wait for the target to be in the perfect position to shoot.

    "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" three arrows were shot from the long bow in succession, followed by two dull hits. Two of the three arrows hit. Many soldiers were stunned. In that case, two arrows could be hit.  Arrow, I'm afraid I can't find anyone else in the entire army.  Du Yun also breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Lan.

    There was no nervousness in Lan's movements, and Yu Ji and Xia Nuoya in the audience couldn't help but stare at Lan. Although Yu Ji knew that Lan was proficient in archery, the difficulty of shooting this time was also difficult to complete. She didn't know  Whether Lan has the ability to hit all three serves, as long as one misses, it may become a tie. If two misses, the first game is lost.

    "Huh" Lan took a breath and placed the three arrows on the arrows together.  His eyes narrowed into a thin line, leaving everything behind. In his eyes and heart, there was only the target in front of him.  Only her hair swaying in the wind, sensing the direction of the wind, Lan was calculating and aiming every minute.

    "Whoosh, whoosh" The sound of three arrows firing almost overlapped, and then there was a deep hitting sound.

    Many people thought that Lan's three arrows only hit one, but they didn't expect that when they looked at the target, they discovered Ni Duan. The three arrows were neatly arranged on the target, as if someone had inserted them in advance.  It's normal to go up.

    All three shots hit.  .  .  And almost at the same time.  Only Du Yun saw Lan's movements clearly. The three arrows hit the target almost at the same time, so people could only hear one sound.

    I lost, completely.
