I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 98 Finals
"Snapped!"

Even at a considerable distance, in this noisy environment, Chen Luo could still hear the sound of the target shattering and falling to the ground in the distance.

The people around saw the effect of Xiang Yu's tenth arrow.

Those people who were admiring loudly all shut their mouths and gasped one after another, contributing to the suppression of global warming.

For the likes of Lou Fan and Chen Luo, all ten arrows were hit, and even one tail-rearing arrow appeared, which belonged to the category they could understand. But like Xiang Yu, who can penetrate a layer of animal skin and still be able to shoot open the target directly, even wearing leather armor, I am afraid it can't stop its power.

"General Xiang, the shooter, hit all ten arrows, and the target is cracked. The players behind will wait a moment and move down to get a new target." Although the winner was shocked by Xiaohui, he did not forget his mission, and announced Xiang Yu's results loudly.

As for the question of whether the target will be scored or not, he has learned to be smart, and he didn't hesitate like reporting Chen Luo's results just now. He needs to be reminded by the shooter.

Xiang Yu put down his long bow and walked to Chen Luo's side amidst everyone's horrified gazes: "What do you think of my hand, Jiang Ning?"

"It's amazing." Chen Luo sighed.

Compared with the precision they were competing for, Xiang Yu's arrow that shattered the target was really a dimensionality reduction blow.

Fortunately, after shooting those ten arrows, he knew that Xiang Yu hadn't started to perform yet, so he just listened to the endless compliments from the side, and didn't start pretending to be a saint before others.

Otherwise, as soon as this situation of cracking the target occurs, he will be dwarfed by comparison.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and Xiang Yu said to Chen Luo: "Wait for Jiang Ning, you have to work harder and see if you can compete with me. The accuracy of your arrows just now is also good."

The admiration of the people around him didn't make Xiang Yu feel too much. His archery skills are average, but a little bit weaker.

What he valued in his heart was to be able to compete with Chen Luo later.

Even if it's a game for fun, men's competitiveness is always so strange.

Xiang Yu was regarded as the last player in the third round of archery. It took less than a quarter of an hour before the preliminary round was over, and more than [-] winners were determined.

As for why there were more than 30 players entering the finals, it was because the results of two players in some groups were almost the same. If you insisted on judging the relationship between the winner and the loser, you would need to play an extra round, which would be too troublesome.

So for the sake of convenience, the contestants who encountered this situation entered the finals together, and based on their performance in the finals, they compared each other's strengths.

"How about improving the rules of the final?" Xiang Yu suggested after seeing the contestants gathered, "Now that there are fewer people, we can compete according to the ancient rules."

Some people wondered: "Now we have to find a suitable venue, it is not so convenient."

According to the records in "Rituals", archery is a very practical sport, and it is impossible to simply shoot dead targets.

The archery sites of the past dynasties were built in places surrounded by water on three sides, in order to use the birds in the water as targets to compare the archery skills of the players.

However, the location where they camped was not within this suitable range. If they wanted to find water sources, they had to go to the Bashui River, which was nearly ten miles away, or even the Weihe River, which was farther away.

Besides, except for the owl, most of the birds are unable to return to their nests at night, so there are very few suitable targets. Even if [-] people shoot in a salvo, even if it is shot down, it is impossible to tell who hit the target first.

Xiang Yu waved his hand and said: "The carriage moves swiftly on flat ground, no less than a bird. You can hang several small flags behind the carriage as targets, and the one who shoots the most wins."

Shooting a moving target is more difficult than a fixed target.

Although the carriage will not move up and down significantly, its speed is there, as fast as the wind.

If it is simply to shoot the horse or shoot the driver, it is not difficult.But the small flag hanging on the back of the carriage, if you don't say anything, even most people won't be aware of its existence.

But this is the rule proposed by Xiang Yu, and everyone still has no objection.

And those who can enter the finals are all one-in-a-million archers with superb shooting skills. Who wants to admit that they are not good enough in front of so many people.

As for the candidate to drive the carriage, of course, under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man.

Of course, their safety is guaranteed.

The soldier driving the carriage was dressed in full armor and carried a large shield on his back. On his right sat a soldier who was also fully armed, with two shields erected and half-stacked to block the side.

With this level of protection, except for Xiang Yu, probably no one can shoot the people on the carriage.

And the distance when their carriage starts is seventy to eighty steps away from where the players are, driving diagonally forward, until it is fully started, the players can start shooting arrows.

After the game officially started, many players showed embarrassment on their faces.

Black, it's too dark!

It is estimated that Si She thought that all the contestants who could enter the finals would be among the best, so he slightly increased the difficulty of the finals.

The flag was hung behind the carriage from the flagpole to the flag surface, and the whole body was actually pitch black, perfectly blending into the night.

Seeing this, Chen Luo chose to play badly.

I have entered the mysterious state of human and arrow integration, and I have some experience in shooting fixed targets.

But now the difficulty has suddenly increased, and it is necessary to shoot small things that move at high speed. Inexperience is one thing, and the difficulty is too great is another.

But in order not to spoil the fun, Chen Luo still raised his bow, aimed symbolically, and shot a dozen more arrows, which seemed to hit the target, but he couldn't see clearly in the dark, so he didn't care.

Most of the players around were pretty much the same as Chen Luo's choice.

They all shot arrows in the approximate direction of the carriage, but except for a few who were lucky enough to shoot down a flag, the others had nothing to gain.

Xiang Yu, Lou Fan and a few others were the only ones who had the confidence to make a shot and had the strength to hit the target.

Lou Fan is pursuing speed, as soon as one arrow is released from his hand, the next arrow is already on the string.

Seeing that Chen Luo was not in high spirits, Xiang Yu didn't pursue the first place, but just shot arrows step by step.

It's just that he shoots the arrow with a bit of leisure, but the accuracy is not bad at all, almost one in three, even close to one in two.

The few winners who followed the carriage and stood by the side of the road to observe, saw that the flags had fallen, and exchanged with each other who shot them down.

After the statistics were completed, they came to announce the results in front of everyone.

"A total of thirty flags were hoisted on the chariot. Lu Matong shot down one, Cao Can shot down one, Chen Zuoyin shot down one... Lou Fan shot down seven, and General Xiang shot down eleven."

After talking about the result, Si She looked at Xiang Yu and said, "Congratulations to General Xiang for his victory!"
