Doom Roar

Although Xu Mo's astonishing rescue of people by holding a tripod completely shocked everyone in the arena, but because of this, only a few fighters gave up the retest sadly.

After all, there is not only one quota for the selection of talents in the Great Song Dynasty this time. The purpose of most of them is to use their own martial arts to fight for wealth and honor, not to choose the leader of the martial arts. If they cannot get the first place, the second and third places are also acceptable. of.

With Xu Mo's dazzling performance first, there is not much expectation in the subsequent tests, and the fighters in the latter no longer try to lift one by one like the previous fighters. Most of them choose a weight that they are sure of. Obviously, the previous This scene hit their hearts hard.

After the first wrestling test was over, the second test was not arranged immediately, and an incense stick of time was reserved for the warriors to adjust their breathing to restore their physical strength, and even the imperial physician who had been waiting by the side to diagnose and treat the injured.

Han Jiwei is suspected to be the most seriously injured among all the fighters. He suffered a certain degree of internal injuries from the forceful overload. the sides of the body. [

But what Xu Mo didn't expect was that Han Jiwei actually carried a box of quite miraculous ointment with him. After applying it on the wound, within less than a stick of incense, his arms recovered a lot, completely. There was no trace of injury, and its effect was no less than Xu Mo's self-healing physique.

Of course, it is estimated that the ointment has a miraculous effect on internal injuries. If Han Jiwei's arm is chopped off, even the elixir will be able to do nothing.

The trembling incense ash fell into the censer overwhelmed, and a stick of incense was burned out. With the sound of the gong again, the second arrow test officially began.

Although the Song Dynasty banned crossbows and bows, as a long-range weapon with great lethality, bows are not accessible to everyone. Except for the fast catchers in the yamen and the hunters who make a living by hunting, there are very few other warriors. Access to this real weapon of war.

After all, warriors are different from soldiers. Most of them pay attention to being upright. Before using a hidden weapon, they have to politely shout "Look at it" to remind their opponents.

There are so many restrictions on using a hidden weapon. If one of the two contestants pulls out a bow, not to mention the entire martial arts world, I am afraid that even the master will have to clean up the door, so as not to ruin his own reputation.

From this, one can roughly guess how unreliable the result of this arrow test will be.

After the first half of the round, except for Qi Wei who was born in the Orion and got an "excellent" evaluation in three arrows and three arrows, the results of the other "crash course" fighters can be described as terrible.

However, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty are armored all over the world. The main long-range weapons on the battlefield are basically the legendary god-armed crossbows. With this power and range comparable to the peak cold weapons of the rifles in World War I, there are traditional long-range weapons such as bows and arrows. It seems a bit tasteless, even the generals of the first army who need to use standard weapons rarely use them anymore.

Thinking about it, the range of the God Arm Crossbow can reach up to more than 400 meters, which is definitely an extremely insane figure in the era of cold weapons, and only the range of the Nine Stone Bow can compare with it.But what kind of concept is it that the Nine Stone Bow wants to be full?That is basically the strength of a thousand catties, otherwise it would be impossible to shoot farther and more powerfully than the god arm crossbow.

Bows and arrows are shot more frequently than crossbows, but battles at the commander level are often close-range melees. Occasionally, long-range weapons are used for cold arrows or hunting. No one can use a bow or crossbow as a machine gun. In comparison, the range and power are more practical.

Therefore, this also led to the gradual decline of the status of traditional long-range weapons such as bows among the generals of the Song Dynasty.

However, the standard of military commanders has always been to be "skilled in bow and horse". Archery is still indispensable as a test item, but it is not as important as other items, and the results are only used as a reference and will not play a role in the final ranking. Decisive.

It can also be understood as the formalism of the Song Dynasty.

"The next one—Lin'an Han Jiwei, please enter!"

Because Han Jiwei stepped in front of Xu Mo before, the order of the subsequent tests was placed ahead of Xu Mo.

After calling out his name, Han Jiwei, who had already taken off his silver armor, did not go directly to the bow stand in the center of the field, but passed in front of Xu Mo in a slight detour, and said in a deep voice, "I will never lose this time." of!"

Although Han Jiwei didn't turn to Xu Mo, but Xu Mo knew that he was obviously speaking to himself, and he felt annoyed and funny at the same time.

This Han Jiwei takes himself too seriously, doesn't he?It's fine if you don't feel grateful for being rescued, but you can still take it as a shame to issue a challenge?This guy's thinking mode is too secondary, right?Where did this inexplicable passion come from? [

Xu Mo's so-called shrugging shoulders, Han Jiwei is willing to make an imaginary enemy and let him toss around. He is just here to compete, so he won't play the lifelong enemy mode with this second-year boy. Thinking about it, I feel too stupid ...

Xu Mo doesn't take it seriously, but it doesn't mean that other people don't take it seriously, at least the upright Qi Wei really took Han Jiwei's challenge to Xu Mo to heart, and couldn't help worrying: "Brother Xu, you're afraid that this match will be a big one. I'm sure I'm going to lose... I just asked about it, and Han Jiwei is the son of an old general of Korea and Korea. He led troops to the battlefield when he was 15 years old, and was accepted by a foreigner until he returned. This is the origin of Han Jiwei's family , You must be proficient at bowing horses, and with the amazing arm strength enough to pull the eight-stone bow, you have absolutely no chance of winning!"

Speaking of Xu Mo's archery skills, he still learned from Qi Wei after he went to the recruitment hall. Qi Wei naturally knew his background and had more than enough strength, but his accuracy is really not flattering... After all, the feeling of archery is not something that can be practiced in a day or two. .

"I know! But so what?" Xu Mo said with a sour face, spreading his hands in front of his face, "He found me out of nowhere, and I didn't promise anything..."

"Uh……"

Qi Wei said for a long time that it is difficult to understand Xu Mo's attitude of being close to reliance with his thinking concept. In his opinion, accepting challenges from other warriors is the respect for one's own martial arts.

Han Jiwei, who had a bit of a secondary personality, had already walked to the bow stand in the martial arts arena and began to choose a suitable bow.

The weakness of the Song Dynasty refers to the atmosphere in the army, but the armor and equipment of the soldiers are of first-class quality. On the red lacquer bow racks, there are various bows of different lengths and different strengths, which are eight stone bows and nine bows. The "artifact" such as the stone bow, which is more collectible than practical, is also among them.

The arrow pot below is densely filled with matching arrow branches of different models.

With Han Jiwei's strength, he could barely open the eight-stone bow, but the power of the bow and arrow depends not only on the strength of the bow, but also on the accuracy of the head. Forcibly opening a heavy bow will often cause a certain degree of trembling in the hands. For the ultimate goal of shooting the target There is no positive meaning.

Therefore, Han Jiwei did not choose the eight-stone bow, but just picked an ordinary six-stone bow on the bow stand for the competition.

He stretched his bow and released his arrows. Han Jiwei didn't play any fancy tricks. He just shot three arrows one after another like flowing water. Every arrow hit the bull's-eye.

If it is placed on the battlefield, even wearing armor, this kind of strength is enough to severely injure the enemy.

It's a pity that Xu Mo was still somewhat regretful. He thought that Han Jiwei would shoot that kind of magical arrow technique of serial rear-end pursuit. Obviously, this legendary shooting technique that often appears in novels is still too heaven-defying.

Of course, Xu Mo also knows how difficult that kind of rear-end shooting is. He can accurately point the tips of the two long swords against each other instantly, but he can't achieve the rear-end effect by throwing or shooting. After all, this is not a vacuum The environment, the movement of the air, and even changes in density can cause changes in the flight path.

Han Jiwei's performance was not amazing, it could only be regarded as quite satisfactory, so the applause in the martial arts arena was significantly lower than the previous wrestling events.

But outsiders watch the fun, and experts watch the doorway. Under Zhang Meng's whisper, Li Erli still wrote Han Jiwei an "excellent" evaluation. Bows and arrows need to be fancy to kill the enemy. Accurate and powerful attacks and stable performance are the key to victory. The essential.

"The next one, Qiantang Xu Mo, please enter!"

Hearing the little official's call, Qi Wei slapped Xu Mo's back hard with his big slap, put up his thumb and said with a smile: "Go! Do your best, I believe in you!"

Qi Wei's tone was obviously not very optimistic about him, but Xu Mo was slightly moved by this kind of sincere encouragement, and he also turned around and gave Qi Wei a thumbs up in response.

When Xu Mo walked into the martial arts arena, Han Jiwei, who had completed the test, also left the arena. The two met face to face. Han Jiwei cast a provocative look at Xu Mo, but Xu Mo looked at him gorgeously, and rubbed shoulders with him And pass.

From childhood to adulthood, no matter at home or as a teacher, Han Jiwei, who bears the halo of genius, is always a star-like existence wherever he goes. He directly challenged Xu Mo one-on-one. [

"Hmph! It's just that you have more strength, let's see how long you can be arrogant!"

Xu Mo's terrifying power certainly shocked Han Jiwei, but he didn't think he would lose his chance to win No.1 because of this. After all, leading an army in battle is not more about personal bravery, but more about commanding troops and strategies. , he was born in a family of generals and has a natural advantage.

In addition, in terms of riding and shooting, Han Jiwei didn't think Xu Mo would be stronger than himself. The three arrows just now were the ultimate. Even if he misjudged Xu Mo's strength, at most he would be tied.

Although he lost a little point in the first test, as long as he doesn't make any mistakes later, he still has a chance to tie the game.

Thinking of this, Han Jiwei couldn't help clenching his fists and showing a smug smile, as if the glory of No.1 was just around the corner.
