The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 254 New Ruler

"It can be over," Yuan Ji's voice finally sounded.

"En, that's right," Xie Daolin echoed.

At this moment, Fang Kang suddenly exerted force, and the power of the double hook suddenly increased.

"Hey, maybe it's going to come back," I thought.

Fang Kang swung his long sword, but he took two steps back and said, "Master Lan is very powerful in martial arts, my subordinates admit defeat."

Seeing this, Lan Yu hurriedly withdrew his sword and said, "Commander Fang, accept the concession."

Xie Daolin laughed and said, "Deputy Commander Lan, you are so handsome, you have passed two rounds in a row and advanced to the final. You take a short rest and prepare for the final round of competition with Zhang Zijian."

"Yes, my lord,"

Zhang Zijian is the only one among the five who uses long-range weapons. He is an archer and is known as the eight-armed spirit ape in the guard camp.

"Your Majesty," Xie Daolin took advantage of the gap to introduce, "The so-called eight arms refers to Zhang Tong's shooting speed is extremely fast, as if he has eight arms, he can shoot uninterruptedly, and the spirit ape refers to his agility, Like an ape, Commander Zhang comes from the Shenyu Sect in Dongchang Prefecture in the north, and each generation of this Shenyu Sect has very few disciples. It is said that this is the rule set by Zhang Qing, the founder of the Shenyu Sect."

"No Feather Arrow Zhang Qing,"

Zhang Qing is a character in "Water Margin". He is the fifth of the eight hussar generals of the Poma Army in Liangshan, and the sixteenth of the one hundred and eight generals.

Xie Daolin said in surprise: "Your Majesty, does that Zhang Qing claim to have no feathered arrows?"

I nodded, changed the subject and said, "Xie Aiqing, let's start."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Xie Daolin got up and said, "Lan Yu, Zhang Zijian,"

"Subordinates are here,"

"Two commanders, the final round of competition is about to begin, so prepare yourself first,"

Zhang Zijian took out his bow and arrow, cupped his fists and said, "Master Lan, please,"

Lan Yu returned the salute: "Commander Zhang, please,"

I saw that Zhang Zijian was about forty years old, with a thin body and ordinary appearance. If he was placed in a crowd, he would be no different from Uncle Wang and Uncle Li in the neighborhood. Compared with other dignified commanders, Zhang Zijian was He doesn't have the demeanor of a master at all, but being able to be the commander of the imperial guards just confirms the saying that people should not be judged by appearances.

Xie Daolin looked at the two people on the field and said, "Start,"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Zijian jumped up, and in a blink of an eye, he was standing at the corner of the wall ten meters away.

"It's so fast, it's worthy of being called a spirit ape," I admired secretly.

Zhang Zijian holds a bow in his left hand, and rests his right hand on the end of a feathered arrow without an arrow. Lan Yu is also cautious, pinching the sword formula with his left hand, and slashing the long sword with his right hand. With his chest raised flat, he stands calmly on the spot, looking directly at the opponent right hand.

At this moment, I thought of the cavalry archers I saw in the imperial army that day. When they had bows and arrows in their hands, their fierce murderous aura suddenly appeared, and it seemed that they could lock the opponent, so that the opponent did not know how to dodge and defend. Zhang Zijian gave My feeling is completely different, as if I have changed into a different person, where I am still an ordinary gentleman, I vaguely feel that this commander's bow and arrow is more terrifying than Fang Kang's Wu hook.

Lan Yu didn't rush to attack, and still remained motionless, Zhang Zijian didn't let go of his right hand resting on Yu's arrow, both sides were looking for a chance to fight, which made the field fall into a stalemate.

This kind of martial arts competition seems less intense than the previous ones, but the people present are all people who are well versed in martial arts, knowing that if you don't move, you will be fine, and if you move, you will be shocked. If it is a life-and-death contest, then this kind of momentum alone is enough to make me People with low martial arts are frightened.

"Your Majesty, neither side dares to act rashly. Under such circumstances, the first mover may show his weakness, and thus be caught by the opponent, and be fatal with one blow," Yuan Ji explained in a low voice next to my ear.

I nodded slightly, this kind of competition is suitable for an expert like Yuan Ji to do live commentary.

The martial arts hall is quiet, because it is indoors, there is no influence of wind and grass, even the air seems to have stopped flowing, everything is still.

"This not only depends on the ability of the two to capture fighters, but more importantly, it depends on the psychological endurance of both parties,"

About five or six minutes later, I saw a look of anxiety on Zhang Zijian's face.

"Your Majesty, cold sweat started to break out on the forehead of this commander, and he seems to be losing his temper," Yuan Ji whispered, "The longer this situation lasts, the more unfavorable it will be for the archers. Arrows, it is easy for the opponent to seize the opportunity and shorten the distance between the two."

Suddenly, Lan Yu moved and slowly took a step forward. Zhang Zijian in the distance was slightly startled, and the bow in his hand shook slightly. Of course, only Yuan Ji and Xie Daolin could see this instant change.

"Your Majesty, pay attention, Commander Zhang is about to shoot this arrow,"

I know that if Zhang Zijian doesn't shoot anymore, it will cause his spirit to relax. In fact, this competition is a bit unfair to Zhang Zijian. The distance of about ten meters is not the best position for archers, but the martial arts hall is so big , The corner ten meters away is already at the end. I didn't know there were archers in it beforehand, otherwise I would have moved the competition to the outside.

When Lan Yu took the second step, Zhang Zijian finally moved, and a jet-black arrow with the arrow removed shot at Lan Yu with a "swish". Hua Ying went to Yu Jian, and before I could see it clearly, I heard two sounds of "嗖,嗖", and two consecutive black cold lights quickly came to Lan Yu again, and they went straight to Lan Yu's shoulders respectively. Backing off, the wrist shook again, the original sword flower split into three at this moment, hitting the three feathered arrows respectively, it was too late to say it, it was soon, the three feathered arrows were knocked to the ground by the sword flower, Just when I thought this round was about to end, I saw the fourth feathered arrow galloping towards Lan Yu's throat.

I let out a "ah", knowing that it was a feathered arrow without an arrow, and I was sweating for Lan Yu. When I used to read books, I would always see the so-called three arrows fired in succession. I didn't expect to see four A chain of arrows.

"What an eight-armed spirit ape, he really lives up to his reputation," Yuan Ji praised.

"That's right, Zhang Zijian is known as having eight arms. An ordinary person can shoot one arrow with two arms, but with eight arms, he can shoot four arrows at the same time," I thought to myself.

But seeing that Lan Yu was not in a hurry, I didn't see his moves at all. The fourth sword flower appeared in front of Yu Jian again, and with a "touch", Yu Jian had already landed on the ground.

Although Zhang Zijian knew that Lan Yu was strong in martial arts, he didn't expect that his chain of four arrows would be blocked so easily by the opponent. Zhang Zijian was slightly taken aback, and saw Lan Yu quickly bullying him, pulling the distance between the two to five meters. about.

This distance has no advantage for archers. Zhang Zijian gritted his teeth and shot another feather arrow. Zhang Zijian knew that this was his last chance to shoot.

Lan Yu didn't break the enemy with the sword flower anymore, but jumped into the air, the sword body merged into one, and even the man and the sword slammed into Yu Jian impartially. In two halves, it fell to the ground.

At the same time that the feather arrow was torn apart and fell to the ground, Lan Yu was already standing two meters in front of Zhang Zi's fitness, and the tense atmosphere on the field immediately disappeared.

"Okay, what a blue ruler," Zhang Zijian laughed loudly, "He is worthy of being the successor of the Valley of the Kings, and Zhang is also a suitor,"

Lan Yu clasped her fists together and said, "Commander Zhang, admit that, in fact, I, Lan, also got the honor of the venue."

Zhang Zijian said: "There is no need for the Lan Commander to be humble. If Zhang is defeated, he is defeated. The two armies are facing each other. How can you allow you to take a good position before starting the battle?"

Lan Yu said: "Commander Zhang is magnanimous, and Lan Yu admires him."

Xie Daolin said: "Both of you are warriors of my guard battalion. Xie announced that Lan Yu won this match. Your Majesty, please give instructions."

I clapped my hands and said with a smile: "As Xie Aiqing said, you are all warriors of our court, and the safety of the palace is entrusted to you. I rest assured, Lan Yu,"

"The minister is here,"

"I entrust you with the post of deputy commander of the imperial guard camp of the Great Song Dynasty. After watching its effect, I will make a full-time job."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Lan Yu knelt down and said thank you.

"Zhang Zijian,"

"The minister is here,"

"I entrust you with the post of Deputy Commander of the Royal Guards of the Great Song Dynasty, and continue to serve as the commander,"

Zhang Zijian has been promoted by half a level, he quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty,"

"Well, Pingshen, dear dears, this is the end of today's competition, and everyone must have learned a lot from it. In order to improve everyone's skills, I specially invited my martial arts professor, who is the master of Lan Yu and Shen Mo. Mr. Yuan will comment on the competition process just now, hoping to be helpful to everyone."

"Ah, Mr. Emperor Gu Yuan, that is a god-like figure," the generals in the guard battalion thought in unison.

Yuan Ji said: "Everyone, the first match was a contest between Yuan's apprentices, and Yuan will not talk about it. The second match was Fang Tongling against Du Tongling. To make full use of the weight of the sword, to use the weight to control the dexterity, but Commander Du failed to show the lightness of the sword. In order to seize the opportunity, he had to confront the Wu hook in the end. This violates the foundation of your Hengshan swordsmanship, Hengshan swordsmanship Offensive and defensive balance, in the end, Commander Du didn't have to fight head-on with Commander Fang at all, he took the defensive position first, and then waited for the opportunity to find a fighting opportunity, so there was still a chance. The third match was also a long sword vs. Wu Gou, and Lan Yu's briskness restricted Wu Gou's attack. Thick and heavy, this prevents Commander Fang from giving full play to his own advantages, thus losing the opportunity and falling into a passive situation. Yuan Mou believes that there is no absolute theory of martial arts, speed can beat strength, and strength can also restrict speed. For, for martial arts, "

Fang Kang and Du Chunhua said after listening, "Thank you, Mr. Yuan, for your guidance."

Yuan Ji went on to say: "As for the last competition, due to the limited space, Commander Zhang suffered a little. Commander Zhang was able to shoot four arrows in an instant, which is really extraordinary. If Yuan remembers correctly, there is a member of your Shenyu Sect. The senior once practiced the skill of shooting seven arrows instantaneously. With Commander Zhang's ability, he can practice five arrows in a row within a year, which can be regarded as the best in your school. In the competition, Yuan thought that Commander Zhang's The chain arrow method was used a little improperly. Commander Zhang should use chain arrows to force Lan Yu back, instead of relying on this to defeat the opponent. With archer skills, the only way to have a chance is to push the opponent ten meters away. "

Zhang Zijian thought for a while and said, "Mr. Xie, advise me."

"Well, the strength of martial arts comes first. The reason why Lan Yu can easily block the feather arrows of Commander Zhang is because Lan Yu has enough sword flowers. If Commander Zhang can do six and seven arrows in a row, then Lan Yu can't Stop it directly, you can only choose other methods, "

Only then did Zhang Zijian understand that he could shoot three to four feathered arrows in an instant, and Lan Yu could stab five sword flowers in an instant, so he was not wronged, even if he was competing on the field outside the house, he would also lose. You will lose, unless you can practice six-feather and seven-feather arrows,
