Water Margin people

Chapter 939 Archery
As soon as the Jurchens joined the battle group, their morale rose again.

The crossbows were shooting wildly at the city wall, trying to suppress the defenders on the city wall with the crossbows.

"Brother Hua Rong, it's hard for my brothers to decide the winner. It seems that it's up to us to decide the winner!"

Pang Wanchun looked at Hua Rong with a smile. The two battalions of their armies had been competing for a long time, but the strength of the two sides was indistinguishable. In the end, the main generals had to show off.

"Okay, then shoot the enemies in the distance!"

Hua Rong nodded and smiled. He was naturally referring to the Jurchen archers who had just joined the battle.

"Haha, come on, let's get a three-stone bow!"

Pang Wanchun laughed and said, and a soldier immediately handed over a huge hard bow. The same was true for Hua Rong, the same three-stone hard bow.

The defenders on the city were looking at Pang Wanchun and Hua Rong, both of whom were great marksmen in the world. They often competed in Liangshan, but they had never shown off in front of so many people.

"Look at me!"

Pang Wanchun laughed and took the hard bow and a special feathered arrow. When he opened the bow, he fired an arrow. Two hundred steps away, a soldier who was beating a drum was directly pierced through the head by the arrow.

"it is good!"

This move made the Liangshan army on the city applaud in unison. There were many weapons that could be hit within two hundred steps, including crossbows and artillery. However, it was extremely rare for a single person to do it.

"Whoosh!"

Hua Rong smiled and fired his bow. The arrow hit the flag directly behind the drum-beating soldier who fell to the ground. When the northwest wind blew, the flag flew away with the wind.

"it is good!"

There was another burst of excited cheers from the Xijin residence.

On the battlefield, the brutal fighting made the soldiers long for heroes. At this time, personal heroism is the best shot in the arm.

Wan Yanchang and the others, who were preparing to look for flaws in the defenders in the distance, had pale faces. Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun suddenly showed off their might, causing their newly built morale to sink again.

"How dare you show off your archery skills in front of us!"

Wanyan Loushi and Anyan Zonghan were furious and rode to the front line.

"Bring me a stiff bow!"

Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Zonghan shouted loudly at the fearful soldiers, for the Jurchens, bowing, horse riding, and shooting are life. Jurchens with poor archery skills cannot survive in the harsh environment of white mountains and black waters. Those who survived, they were not allowed to lose in archery.

Two huge hard bows were brought up. Although the Jurchens had great archery skills, they usually only hunted in the mountains and forests. They pursued accuracy rather than strength. Therefore, the bows and arrows used by the Jurchens were very long, with arrowheads as long as 6 or 7 inches. , but the drawing force of a common bow is less than one stone.

Wanyan Loushi was different from Wanyan Zonghan. Since they raised their troops, they discovered the flaws in the range of the original crossbows, so they began to improve the longbows.

They learned the bow-making skills of the western grasslands and mixed them with animal horns, wood and other materials. The bow strings were made of animal sinews. The strongest bows they made were comparable to the three-stone bows of the Central Plains.

The only drawback is that this kind of bow becomes extremely heavy after being mixed with animal horns. Most people cannot hold it with one hand, let alone shoot freely.

Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Zonghan appeared in front of the formation with giant bows, instantly attracting the attention of the attacking army, and the siege movement stopped.

The extremely brutal siege seemed to have stopped for an instant. Both the attacker and the defender stopped. Both sides looked at their respective generals, and the battle instantly turned into a battle between generals.

"Capital, I'm afraid the enemy still doesn't understand how powerful our Jin Kingdom's archery is!"

Wanyan Zongqian and others said with a smile, Wanyan Zonglou and Wanyan Zonghan were their Jurchen marksmen. In these years of wars, they had killed many powerful enemies with their arrows.

"Look at me!"

Wanyan Loushi held a huge bow in his hand, and when he opened the bow, he fired an arrow. His target was a Liangshan flag on the city wall. Hua Rong shot their war flag away, and he wanted to retaliate in kind.

"Brother Hua Rong, leave this guy to me!"

Pang Wanchun laughed and said, he also opened his bow and shot an arrow, and the arrow hit the arrow in Wanyan Lou's room.

The two arrows collided together, making a crisp sound. The two arrows fell to the ground, and the first arrow was evenly matched.

"Something capable!" Pang Wanchun looked at Wanyan Lou's room in the distance with a smile.

Suddenly there was a strong wind, with the northwest wind howling and rolling up bursts of white snow powder.

Wanyan Loushi felt the strong wind and was overjoyed. He also saw the extraordinary archery skills of the enemy, but now the strong wind was blowing. At this time, not only archery skills were needed, but also the need to adapt to the environment. And the woman who hunted among the white mountains and black waters all year round What real people can best adapt to is such a harsh environment.

"kill!"

Wanyan Loushi suddenly opened his bow and roared. The huge hard bow was stretched like a full moon, and an arrow had the power to cut through a mountain.

"Humph!"

Pang Wanchun snorted coldly and drew the stiff bow in his hand. For ordinary people, bows and arrows would not be able to shoot accurately in such an environment with strong wind and snowflakes.

But Pang Wanchun is not an ordinary person, Xiao Yang Youji can't be affected by a mere wind and snow.

The two arrows were shot at the same time, and the strong wind roared. Both arrows were affected and began to drift with the wind, but their power remained unabated.

There was another crisp sound, and the two arrows drew a strange arc and collided together at the same time.

"impossible!"

Anyan Zongfu said in disbelief that in this environment, even a sharpshooter would find it difficult to hit the opponent's arrow, and the enemy was actually so powerful.

Seeing that the enemy was powerful, Wanyan Zonghan drew his bow and shot an arrow, but the target was still the flag on the city wall.

Hua Rong had already set his sights on Wanyan Zonghan. The moment Wanyan Zonghan drew his bow, Hua Rong also drew his bow at the same time.

Wanyan Zonghan's sudden arrow was also blocked by Hua Rong.

"Mighty! Mighty!"

Waves of high-pitched shouts erupted from the Xijin Mansion. Even in the archery competition, Liangshan still had an absolute advantage.

"We can't go on like this, come up with a trick!"

Wanyan Zonghan looked at Wanyan Lou's room and said, if this continues, their morale will be gone.

"Together!"

Wanyan Loushi nodded. Judging from the enemy's archery skills, they couldn't take advantage, so they had no choice but to join forces.

I saw two people firing their bows at the same time, like a full moon, and two visions shot out at the same time.

"There's a problem, change the arrow!"

Hua Rong suddenly spoke, then took out an arrow from another arrow pot and fired his bow.

Pang Wanchun also changed the arrows when he heard this. He also found that the trajectory of the enemy's arrows was wrong, and the arrows should have been changed.

Hua Rong and Pang Wanchun wore Liangshan's special cone-shaped scissors, which would spin the arrows after they flew out.

The four arrows hit the ground again, but Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Zonghan did not panic at all. They fired their bows again, but this time they changed the target. There were more than one flag on the city wall, and they fired their bows faster and faster. .

"Want to use this trick?"

Hua Rong said with narrowed eyes.

"You're just playing dirty tricks when you're not as skilled as others, you're really not a thing!"

Pang Wanchun was furious.

"Otherwise, let's continue the competition to see who can shoot down more arrows!"

Hua Rong suddenly said, "It's hard to distinguish the enemy's crisscross and chaotic shooting, so it's better to just do it casually."
