Fenghou

Chapter 121 Athletics

According to the results of the lottery, the first player to enter the field was Wu Sen, a subordinate of Fu's player. He was also the number one cavalry and archer in the Eight-Character Army. An arrow, draw the bow and aim.

Chen Qing shook his head secretly. From the action of aiming, he knew that this person's realm was not enough, and he was still in the second stage.

"How many coins does Commander Chen think he will shoot down?" Liu Ziyu asked with a smile.

"Where do you want to see him shoot?"

"Isn't it the money eye?"

Chen Qing shook his head, "If he shoots Qianyan, he won't win more than three."

Sure enough, Wu Sen shot at the eye of a coin. He had shot three arrows in a row, and only the second arrow hit a copper coin. The third arrow hit the eye of the coin, but unfortunately the rope did not break. The fourth arrow hit the coin, but missed. Qianyan, the fifth arrow shot down a copper coin.

With the sound of a drum, five arrows were shot, and only two copper coins were shot down. Fu Xuan's face became very ugly. He knew that this result basically missed the five hundred god arm crossbow troops.

This god arm crossbow army was obviously his own, but he was sent out at the last moment by the damned Wang Yan. I don't know who got the advantage?In the end, let yourself be ashamed.

The more Fu Xuan thought about it, the more he hated him. He felt depressed and unbearable. He couldn't sit down any longer. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he got up and left quietly.

Zhang Jun squinted slightly, staring at Fu Xuan coldly.

The second one to appear was Liu Ziyu's youngest son, Liu Cui. He ran all the way and shot with his bow. He obviously learned the lesson of Wu Sen before. His goal was no longer to shoot coins, but to shoot ropes.

Of course, the rope cannot be a hanging rope, which is too soft to bear the force, but a rope tied to the wooden frame above.

The first arrow opened the record, a rope was shot and the copper coins fell to the ground, and the soldiers around suddenly burst into cheers.

Liu Ziyu laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, "This kid, isn't he stupid!"

"Not bad, the hand is very steady, you should be able to get a high score!"

Chen Qing saw it very accurately. As expected of a family of famous generals, Liu Cui was very decisive in riding and shooting.

As expected, Liu Cui lived up to his father's expectations, hitting four out of five arrows, which is quite a high score.

The third one was that Liu Kai's generals went out and hit three out of five arrows, and they also shot the rope. No one shot copper coins anymore.

The fourth and fifth are two generals from Wu Jie and Wu Lin, one hits three out of five arrows and the other hits four out of five arrows.

If there is a tie for the first place, then there will be rematch until the final winner is produced.

Yang Zaixing was the sixth to appear on the stage. As soon as he appeared on the stage, everyone cheered.

White horse and iron armor, with flying helmet tassels, You Qi looks very handsome, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, high nose bridge, burly figure, and outstanding temperament.

Wu Jie couldn't help but ask Chen Qing, "Commander Chen, what's the origin of this?"

"The descendants of Yang Jiye from Taiyuan!"

"So it's the general of the Yang family!" Only then did everyone suddenly realize.

Yang Zaixing shot the first arrow while running fast, the rope snapped and the first copper coin fell to the ground.

There was thunderous applause all around, and then Yang Zaixing shot three spike arrows like a string of arrows, the arrows were precise, and three copper coins fell down.

At this time, everyone's interest was aroused. Seeing the effect of his last arrow, even Zhang Jun sat up straight and watched the battle.

There was no sound in the entire school field, only the rapid hooves of the war horses could be heard.

When he was about to qualify, Yang Zaixing shot the last arrow, 'Pa! 'The rope broke and the fifth copper coin fell to the ground.

The school field suddenly cheered, cheers and applause resounded through the sky.

Zhang Jun laughed straight away, this young man is very good, with high martial arts skills and outstanding character.

Liu Ziyu smiled wryly, his son was eliminated, he sighed and said to Chen Qing: "I don't know whether I should congratulate you or be jealous of you, your subordinates are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"

Chen Qing smiled slightly, "Liu Dutong has won the prize!"

Yang Zaixing hit all five arrows, and there was basically no suspense in the whole competition. In the end, both Qu Duan and Guan Shigu's men hit three out of five arrows, and Yang Zaixing won the first place.

Yang Zaixing knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and saluted Zhang Jun. Chen Qing smiled and said to Zhang Jun, "General Yang used to organize a rebel army to fight against gold, but the effect was not very good. It is a pity that he is still in vain, and the humble post appointed him as the deputy commander."

Zhang Jun nodded, "Although General Yang has just joined the Song Army, his martial arts skills are really strong and talents are rare. This commander made an exception and appointed you as the deputy commander and recommended you as Xiu Wulang."

Appointments and appointments are quite different in nature.

Chen Qing was appointed as the deputy commander internally, with no authority but no position, while Zhang Jun was officially appointed as the deputy commander.

Yang Zaixing was overjoyed, and thanked him again, "The humble official must fight the enemy bravely, and live up to the support of the Xuanfu envoy!"

Zhang Jun took out a command arrow and handed it to Chen Qing with a smile, "You are lucky. The five hundred crossbow troops will be officially given to the Qinzhou Army. The commander will increase the number of troops accordingly."

Chen Qing also cupped his fists and saluted, "Thank you for your kindness!"

Zhang Jun said to the generals again: "Everyone, starting from tomorrow, we will officially enter the war. I hope that all the commanders in Wu Dutong will defeat the Jurchen army again, and prevent the Jurchen cavalry from stepping into Sichuan!"

Zhang Jun is gone, and he will return to Sichuan next, and the command of the army and the distribution of materials at Dasan Pass will be handed over to Wu Jie.

The generals watched Zhang Jun leave, and the army began to disperse.

Wu Jie stepped forward and patted Chen Qing on the shoulder with a smile, "To be honest, I really don't want to give you the five hundred crossbow troops."

"Why did you all say that?"

"You do the math, most of the soldiers who followed you were killed"

Chen Qing frowned, "Wu Dutong, Fu Moshan is bound to win this army. None of his men died, why don't you give it to him?"

Wu Jie chuckled, "You really can talk, leaving people speechless. I was just joking with you. Sacrifice is part of the battlefield. The key is to die well."

Speaking of this, Wu Jie's face became serious, "Actually, my real idea is to give you this army and let them play their best role. Commander Chen, don't let me down!"

Chen Qing nodded, "In my hands, they are definitely not decorations!"

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of November, and winter began to enter all parts of Guanzhong, and the weather was getting colder day by day.

This morning, a [-]-member Song army scout led by Zhao Xiaoyi checked the situation in a forest about fifteen miles west of Jiwangpo.

Last night, the sentinel on the west side noticed a flickering fire in the distance. Although it only appeared for a very short time, it was captured by the sentinel of the Song Army. Chen Qing suspected that there was an enemy sentry nearby, so he sent two scout teams early in the morning Go to the east and west sides to investigate.

Hu Yanlei, the deputy commander of the scout battalion, was in charge of the east, and Zhao Xiaoyi personally led the army to investigate the west.

A few miles to the west of Daying is one of the largest open lands in the West Valley. The valley is more than ten miles wide, dotted with large forests and grasslands, and stretches all the way to Wang Jianpo. The valley was cut off, leaving only a passage less than ten miles wide. After passing Wang Jianpo, the valley suddenly opened up again.

As soon as Zhao Xiaoyi raised his hand, the soldiers under his command reined in their horses one after another, and Liu Jian asked, "What did the general find?"

Zhao Xiaoyi pointed to the ground, "Look!"

Only then did everyone notice the footprints of four hooves on the ground, densely packed, extending into the woods.

"What is this, it doesn't look like a war horse!"

Zhao Xiaoyi sneered, "This is the hoof print of a war horse, but the hoof is covered with cloth."

Everyone was skeptical and followed the footprints for a while, when a soldier suddenly shouted: "Here is a piece of cloth!"

He got off his horse and picked up a piece of sackcloth soaked in mud with a broken rope on it, in the shape of a cloth bag. Looking forward, there was indeed a clear horseshoe print among the hoof prints.

Only then did everyone sincerely believe that although Commander Zhao was young, his mind was very sharp.

Zhao Xiaoyi raised his head and looked into the woods. His eyes seemed to see more than a dozen Jurchen spies in ambush through the woods.

"Liu Dutong, you lead ten brothers to the west to intercept, Ma Dutou leads ten brothers to stay outside to intercept, and the rest of the brothers follow me!"

Zhao Xiaoyi divided his troops into three groups. He led thirty cavalrymen holding shields and short spears, circled an arc, and outflanked the forest.

This is a birch forest, the leaves are almost gone, only the straight bare trees are left, the horses walk in the woods rustling, and the soldiers hold their shields and watch the movement around them vigilantly.

At this time, a cold arrow swished, powerful, and aimed straight at Zhao Xiaoyi. Zhao Xiaoyi was startled, and hurriedly raised his shield to meet him.

Unexpectedly, the arrow shot at his horse, the horse's foreleg was shot, and the horse plopped! 'Fall down, and then a dozen arrows shot towards Zhao Xiaoyi.

This move was coordinated very cleverly, locking the general of the Song army, shooting the horse first, breaking the opponent's shield guard, and then shooting the opponent into a hedgehog with more than a dozen arrows.

However, Zhao Xiaoyi's biggest feature is his quick response and flexible mind, which is also the main reason why Chen Qing made him the chief scout general.

Zhao Xiaoyi reacted extremely quickly, as nimble as a monkey. He knew something was wrong, and as soon as he landed, his body rolled and walked away rapidly, and all the dozen or so arrows shot in the air.

Song Jun also found the enemy spies, roaring and urging his horse to kill the Jurchen spies.

The thirteen Jurchen spies could no longer hide, and rushed out from behind the big tree one after another, brandishing spears and sabers, and went up to the battle with shouts
