Chapter 112 Samsung Archery competition.
Three rounds up and down.
The first round, target shooting.
Second round, step shot.
The third round, riding and shooting.
Among the subjects of the martial arts examination, Qiao Guan and Archery are the most important, followed by Spearmanship and Swordsmanship, and the remaining subjects are bonus points.
In the past years, there have been many cases where people who excelled in exams but failed to meet the standards in several other subjects were awarded martial arts talents and were specially recruited into the army.
There are also magic archers who are specially recruited into the magic arrow army and get an official position in the imperial city.
In every martial arts examination, examiners from all over the country will select special talents for the court and recommend talents. Generally, the recommended candidates are either amazingly powerful, excellent in archery, or superb in marksmanship.
Those who are recommended will receive preferential treatment from the court, such as exemption from various family taxes, subsidies for Qi and Blood Pills, and even guidance from famous teachers.
It's a pity that Chu Linguang's strength of 470 pounds is outstanding in this Nancheng, but he is not outstanding in defeating the entire Yuan Dynasty.
However, if you perform well and top ten in the road test, you will usually be rewarded.
The archery competition begins.
Candidates enter the preparation area.
After Yan Chengdu regained his confidence, the smile on his face became even brighter. When he saw Chu Linguang again, he smiled and nodded as before.
Chu Linguang returned the favor politely.
Archery requires understanding, a good training environment, and sufficient consumption of bows and arrows.
Yan Chengdu Ji Hu and others are all children of aristocratic families. They have known how to draw a bow and set an arrow very early. They are accompanied by archery masters all the year round. Since ancient times, in the archery competition, it has always been the children of aristocratic families who have won, and there have been very few disciples from poor families. Can get first place.
Chu Linguang's basic archery skills are perfect, he can cross the Yangtze River with a hundred steps on horseback, and two stars are connected on land. Such results are considered very impressive among the candidates, but if he wants to get the first place, Chu Linguang does not have the confidence.
After all candidates have entered.
Chu Linguang looked carefully at the front, back, left and right. Just like yesterday, he did not see Liu Quan, only Jinshan sitting in the corner.
Liu Quan failed two tests in a row.
Even if he could get a first-class score in free fighting, he would have no chance of winning this Taoist test. Chu Linguang was wondering if the shot was too heavy and kept Liu Quan in bed for many days.
"The exams for candidates Hei Hu, Ji Hu, Ma Hu, Wang Lianbo, and Yang Xu have begun!"
When the time comes.
The examiner sounds the gong to sign up.
Heihu sighed lightly. Since the start of the competition, he has been placed in the first batch of the first round for five consecutive days and has never been selected.
So he entered the shooting range with his longbow.
Ji Hu came to him and heard that Black Tiger also had the word "tiger" in his name. His eyes were full of disdain and even a little angry. Two tigers cannot be accommodated in one mountain. How could Black Tiger be so virtuous? Take the martial arts test with him. , and were placed in the same group.
Heihu sensed Ji Hu's hostility, so he showed his big yellow teeth and smiled: "Master Ji is full of energy and blood, and he is strong. Why is it that he is so strong that he loses [-] kilograms to my junior brother in a competition? Could it be that Master Ji has hidden his strength?" ?”
"What did you say?"
Ji Hu's face turned dark when he heard this.
"I'm curious. Why do you disciples from aristocratic families go all the way to Nancheng to take the martial arts exam? If you don't get the first place, isn't your trip in vain?"
Black Tiger added fuel to the fire.
"How dare you humiliate me?"
Ji Hu was furious.
"Humiliation? Hahaha, Mr. Ji misunderstood. I'm just telling the truth. If you don't like it, I just shut up."
Black Tiger chuckled.
"You wait for me."
Ji Hu snorted coldly.
"I have already achieved first-class results in all four levels, and my success is a sure thing. What do you want Mr. Ji to do by asking me to wait?"
The black tiger has no fear.
"Tomorrow's free fighting, the top ten will decide the winner. Let's have a fight if we can."
Ji Hu said angrily. "OK!"
Black Tiger nodded.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Then he heard the examiner's voice and shot three arrows at his target. Although he couldn't hit the target with two stars, he could still do it on land. He shot three arrows in a row and hit the target.
There are three rounds of archery, and each round involves shooting ten arrows.
The black tiger shot three arrows after another.
Continuous shooting can get extra points. If the arrow hits the bull's-eye, you will be awarded the title of Archer and have the opportunity to join the Army of Divine Arrows.
The black tiger's arrow technique can penetrate a poplar tree at a hundred steps.
After shooting ten arrows in a row, all the arrows hit the target. Unfortunately, only seven arrows hit the bull's-eye. When the seventh and ninth arrows were shot, the breath seemed to be broken, and every arrow It's still a little far away from the target.
However, with such a result, among the five, only Ji Hu was better than him. The other three, including Xiao Wang, were not as good as Hei Hu in their archery skills.
In the last term, Wang Xiaowang was dropped from the rankings in carbine and mounted archery. Now that these two skills have been taught by Guo Wei, he has good strength in carbine and mounted archery.
Unfortunately, he still lost to Hei Hu and Chu Linguang in the area of archery.
After target shooting comes step shooting.
The step shooting is to hit the target while running fast, and there are ten arrow targets scattered around. Each candidate is equipped with different arrows, and they need to shoot the ten arrows they are equipped with into the ten targets.
It depends on who hits more targets and has more accurate shots.
"Exam!"
"Whoosh!"
The black tiger rushed towards the pile forest and shot the first arrow at the most conspicuous target.
The difficulty of rifle shooting is much higher than that of target shooting.
Black Tiger's ten arrows hit the target, but only six hit the bull's eye.
The rifle and archery targets were scattered everywhere. Black Tiger failed to shoot continuously and hit the bullseye quite impressively.
Xiao Wang's ten arrows hit the target, four arrows hit the bull's-eye, and the remaining arrows were a certain distance from the bull's-eye. However, they could all hit the target when shooting step-by-step. In addition, when shooting ten arrows at the target, they could all hit the center ring. Xiao Wang's archery skills were at least good. Obtaining a second-class top grade, combined with the previous scores in several subjects, is a sure thing to win the rankings, and there is even a possibility of reaching the top ten.
Ji Hu has been fed by arrows since he was a child, and has an archery master by his side all year round. He once again excels. The advantage of disciples from aristocratic families is particularly prominent in this level.
Horse shooting.
Riding horseback through the forest.
Hit the arrow targets at different locations.
The same ten arrows.
This round is a combination of archery and riding skills, with a higher degree of difficulty.
Black Tiger rode over the mountain peak and once again drew his bow and set an arrow first. He knew that his archery skills were not as good as Ji Hu's, but the arrow he shot had to be one step ahead, at least to beat Ji Hu in some aspects.
Guo Wei knew Heihu's thoughts and was angry and laughing at the same time.
Fortunately, after three rounds, although Heihu was crushed by Ji Hu, he at least achieved the lowest grade of A, Xiao Wang was the upper grade of B, Ji Hu was the top grade of A, and was temporarily ranked first in the archery subject.
An hour and a half later.
"The candidates Yan Chengdu, Mao Zhongcai, Ma Huijun, Niu Er, and Huang Feihu are taking the exam!"
The examiner sounds the gong to sign up.
Yan Chengdu surrendered to everyone and entered the shooting range with bare hands. He did not bring his own long bow, but chose a crude bow provided by the court, which shows that he is confident in his archery skills.
Target shot first round.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Yan Chengdu stretched his bow and nocked an arrow. He drew the arrow to the full moon and shot three arrows in a row. The three arrow shadows formed a line.
Three stars in a row.
The first arrow hits the bullseye.
The second arrow breaks the branch of the first arrow and pushes the head of the first arrow out of the target. The third arrow breaks the branch of the second arrow and pushes its head out of the target.
Everyone present, whether it was the examiner Feng Junyi, Chu Linguang or Guo Wei, were all shocked by Yan Chengdu! (Please recommend tickets and monthly tickets!)
