girl riding a horse

Chapter 95 Seeing is believing
Xie Yuan said calmly: "Okay, Master Wei said, how do you compare?"

"The old rule is to put a horse galloping past the archery target, follow the horse to shoot arrows, and the horse passes the last target. Whoever shoots more accurately wins." He said.

Xie Yuanwen blinked his eyes and thought about it. This shouldn't be too difficult, it's just...

"The distance cannot exceed fifty steps. I am good at very short distances. If it is far away, I need to measure the arc of the arrow's fall. It takes time, but it is not so fast. I don't know if the chief guard will agree."

Hearing this, the head of the guard's eyes became even more disdainful, and said with a "hum", "I can do whatever you want, I can do it."

On the other side of the school field is a row of targets.And the prisoners of the rebels were squatting in front of the target, and there were two to three hundred people in the crowd.

So the captain ordered to divide the captives into two groups, moved to the side, and let out the row of arrow targets, which happened to be the spectators of this competition.

Xie Yuan stood in front of the second target on the left, not more than fifty steps away, while the guard stood a little further back, directly in the middle of the ten targets.

People watching this competition couldn't help but shook their heads. Xie Yuan seemed to be planning to run behind the horse and shoot, but how could a man's legs outshine a horse's.

Like the head of the guard, stand farther away, include all ten targets within your range, shoot while standing, and save the time of moving is the key to victory.

But at this time, the chief guard saw Xie Yuan standing in front of him, and already regarded her as a defeated opponent who was about to make a fool of himself.

Winning a child is a bit ineffective, and it is obvious that she is not capable, and she has to shoot a target within fifty paces to ensure accuracy.

But, I just can't see his ignorant, open-mouthed and shut-mouthed arrogant and boundless appearance!

The man on the horse was already ready at the starting point on the left, and only heard a whistle, and the man patted the horse and rushed to the other side of the target.

The speed is very fast, as if he is afraid that if he slows down, he will be hurt by the arrow.

Xie Yuan and Wei Chang stretched out their hands to draw arrows at the same time, took aim and aimed.The only difference is that Wei Zhang was a little slower than Xie Yuan because he stood far away and his sight was blocked.

But the movement was only a little slower. He watched the tail of the horse brush, and the speed of arrow after arrow was extremely fast, and because he was holding a hard bow, when the arrow flew out, he saw the power of piercing through the air. , A streak of afterimages hit the bull's-eye, directly piercing the target, leaving an arrow tail outside.

But Xie Yuan was faster than him... I saw the young man who had just come down from the battlefield, his face was covered with black and gray dirt, and his clothes were still burnt and scratched by sharp knives.

But he was extremely fast, and while chasing the horse, he kept his hands on. There was almost no pause between drawing and shooting, as if he didn't need to aim at all, and every arrow was shot very casually.

And the speed of the feet is fast, the footsteps are silent, as if stepping on the wind.Surprisingly, it merged with the archery action in hand, like flowing clouds and flowing water.

Everyone has forgotten to pay attention to whether his shooting is accurate or not, they only know that his skill is too handsome, it is a kind of enjoyment to watch, and they can't take their eyes off.

The guard's archery ability is naturally good, he can even shoot arrows, and even pull a hard bow, he can catch up with the speed of a horse.

But like Xie Yuan, shooting while running, his hand speed seems to be faster and more casual than him... It seems that he can't do it.

So when he shot halfway, his eyes were involuntarily attracted by Xie Yuan's figure, and he was stunned for a moment before the arrow in his hand slowed down.

Then he watched Xie Yuan run from his left to his right, leaving his own arrows on a row of targets... and all of them were above the red bullseye.

Everyone was dumbfounded, including the captives who were squatting on the ground.

Xie Yuan finished shooting the arrow, wiped the sweat off his brow, looked at the target and took a few steps back, stood beside Wei Chang, and looked at the target.

Seeing that the head of the guard's arrows, which were obviously much thicker than hers, only hit five.So he looked to the side suspiciously.

I saw Chief Wei was still holding a bow in his hand and nocking an arrow, froze there in such a posture, opened his mouth slightly, and stared at her dumbfounded.

Xie Yuan frowned, looked up at Chief Wei, who was half a shoulder taller than him, and said, "Master Wei, why didn't you shoot five arrows? Let me?"

She doesn't need anyone to give way, she has enough confidence to win!I don't want to be looked down upon by others.

At this time, the head of the guard was relieved, put down the bow in his hand in embarrassment, turned his head with a flushed face, and looked at the school captains who were watching the battle behind him, and said:

"... I just lost my mind."

The captain blinked his eyes, he really had no right to say anything about this.Because he was also distracted, he just stared at the figure of Xie Yuan galloping and drawing the bow the whole time, and didn't pay attention to the process of the game at all...

So he coughed and said, "If you are distracted, then you will be distracted. You don't have to be so serious when you compete with yourself."

Hearing this, Xie Yuan pursed his lips, put the bow on his back again, and said nothing more.

She could feel it. After the comparison, at least they didn't look at her like they did just now, as if they were watching a joke.

The captain came to her side, looked at Xie Yuan's face, and said with a sigh:

"Just now I heard someone from them say that you are very skilled. I only thought you were a child, better than ordinary children, but I didn't expect that you would be so much stronger. This is really deception, seeing is believing. Sure enough, a hero is born as a teenager , no wonder you were promoted to Corporal Leader at such a young age."

Xie Yuan thought to himself, she was not sent to be promoted as a corporal leader by the superiors, but a temporary team formed by those who broke out, and she became the corporal leader who made the decisions after fighting for a while.

If she was still in the original battalion, it was absolutely impossible for her to be the corps leader so soon.

Xie Yuan didn't say a word, just listened to the captain's words, after a while he saw that he had no further words, so he asked again:
"Can we claim our credit? When will the supplies be available?"

"Yes...why not, of course." The captain readily agreed this time.

Then, as if coming back to his senses, he pointed to the captives and said:
"These are people who are willing to surrender, and they will be assigned to each army to replenish the soldiers. You lead the people back to make up the number. The superiors gave our battalion a month to repair, and it is unlikely that there will be wars recently. In this way, you will still belong to your army in the future. Corporal, but you also have to teach archers."

Just as Xie Yuan wanted to refute, he heard him say: "As much as I can teach, the rest is up to them, don't force them... But if you teach well, I will also ask for credit for you, maybe you can become a general sooner. .”

These words really blocked Xie Yuan's mouth, and Xie Yuan didn't say anything else.

"Go! People have been pointed out, isn't that right? Take people back." The captain pointed to the group of people next to the captives and urged her.

Xie Yuan turned his head to take a look, bowed his hands to the captain, and said, "Your subordinate will leave." He turned around and left quickly.
