Pirate Song

And Zhou Jun was named the third to play, Gao Huai took a look at Zhou Jun from afar, and saw Zhou Jun standing there calmly, without any nervousness, so he secretly thought that Zhou Jun had matured now, so Under the crowd watching, he can still be so stable, which shows that his psychological quality is already quite good.

Zhou Jun forgot to look at Gao Huaiyuan in the stands, and Gao Huaiyuan nodded slightly, as an encouragement to him. Zhou Jun put an arrow on the bowstring, clasped the bowstring with his fingers, pressed his left arm down, and opened the bow with great strength. He just glanced at the shaking target, adjusted his arm slightly, held his breath, and shot an arrow, the arrow immediately drew a beautiful line in the air, hit the bull's-eye of the moving target, and attracted a burst of excitement in the arena. Applause.

However, Zhou Jun turned a deaf ear to the commotion in the arena, and once again buckled his arrows and drew his bow to take aim. His movements were done in one go without any hesitation. He shot three arrows in a short period of time, with almost no pause in the middle, and all three arrows hit the bull's-eye. It was even better than his shooting at a fixed target. The three arrows were arranged in the shape of a red bull's-eye, which made people applaud for its cleanliness.

"Good arrow skills! This guy is really a sharpshooter!" Liu Zhixian also clapped his hands and shouted after hearing the cheers in the field.

After Zhou Jun finished shooting three arrows, he clasped his fists slightly to the cheering crowd, raised his legs and stepped aside, waiting for the next two arrows.

After seeing Zhou Jun's archery skills, the person who followed him was a little discouraged. He boasted that his archery skills were good, but at this moment he was restless and wanted to hit the target, and it was obviously impossible for Zhou Jun to surpass him. , After drawing the bow for a long time, he made up his mind to release the arrow, but the result was not ideal. Although he hit the target, the arrow stuck to the edge of the target, and the arrow feathers drooped, feeling weak.

Although he tried his best to stabilize his emotions for the next two arrows, the results were not very satisfactory. Basically, they were shot at the edge of the target and failed to hit the bull's-eye. shattered.

Only the fifth came up and attracted Gao Huaiyuan's attention. This archer was not tall, but he was very stocky, and he also had an indifferent expression. Gao Huaiyuan said hello slightly in his heart, a person like this will never make mistakes like ordinary people, first of all, such a bearing is related to success or failure, it seems that Zhou Jun has met his opponent.

As expected by Gao Huaiyuan, after this person stood still, he raised his head to feel the direction of the wind slightly, then he opened his bow and released his arrows. He also shot three arrows in a quick manner, and then there was another sound in the arena. There were cheers, Gao Huaiyuan's eyes were sharp, and he could see from afar that the three arrows of this person also hit the bull's-eye, and compared with the three arrows shot by Zhou Jun, they were arranged more densely. Jun, don't think about it, with his results just now, there is no hope for Zhou Jun to win the championship.

"Good arrow skills!" Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help but also called out, raising his hands and applauding to express his congratulations.

Not long after the results statistics came up, Zhou Jun was only one ring away, and finally lost to this man, only getting No.2. Zhou Jun also knew that he had lost, and shook his head slightly, but he quickly recovered. Out of the normal state, he stepped forward to congratulate the man, such a magnanimity, the people around him were also impressed, and they all nodded to express their regret for Zhou Jun.

"Okay! I didn't expect there to be such a master in Daye County. Such an archery skill can be called a magic arrow. What is this person's name? I want to see him!" He was quite proud of being named such a sharpshooter, so he immediately asked the secretary next to him for the roll call.

"This person's surname is Dong Mingqiang. He is from Lingxiang Township. He is a hunter. He is now the instructor of the Bow and Arrow Club of Lingxiang Township!" The officer who was asked immediately looked up the person's name and reported his situation to Liu Zhixian County.

"Very good! I will personally award this Dong Qiang and that Zhou Jun in a while! Hehe!" Liu Zhixian nodded repeatedly.

"Zhou Jun is exempted. This time we only set the first name, so he has no chance!" Gao Huaiyuan immediately said to Liu Zhixian.

"We can accommodate this matter a little bit! This Zhou Jun's arrow skills are quite good, and he should be rewarded. Why should he be so serious?" Liu Zhixian always thinks that Zhou Jun's arrow skills are good, and it would be unreasonable not to give some rewards. , so I discussed with Gao Huaiyuan.

"No! Since the rules are like this, we can only follow this, the second is the second, it is absolutely impossible to take care of! Otherwise, how should No.3 take care of it? This is not appropriate!" Gao Huaiyuan immediately shook his head road.

Liu Zhixian was immediately speechless. After a moment of shock, he shook his head and sighed regretfully, feeling a little sorry for Zhou Jun!

As for the name Dong Qiang, Gao Huaiyuan also firmly remembered it in his heart. The person who could suppress Zhou Jun and take the lead in archery was considered a good player. Gao Huaiyuan was very interested in him. Looking at Dong Qiang, keep him firmly in my heart.

The next thing is the group attack and defense competition of each bow and arrow club. For this kind of competition, real swords and guns will naturally fail. For this reason, Gao Huaiyuan prepared wooden knives, wooden guns and lime for them in advance, and also prepared dozens of sets. The cotton armor was used as their protection, and then the two teams who drew lots to fight each other attacked each other, and finally decided the winner.

This kind of competition is very fresh. It is different from the performance parade in the Song Army before. This is more aggressive. It is very interesting in terms of viewing and actual combat. The review is the cooperation between the archers of various bow clubs. It is very good for improving the coordination ability, but the number of people in this style of play is relatively small, but at least it allows the village warriors to effectively grasp the cooperation between their companions in the battle formation, which is very good for improving the overall combat effectiveness. After all, the battle Sometimes, no matter how powerful a person is, if he falls into the enemy army without the cover of his companions, he will still die. With the mutual protection of his companions, the chances of survival on the battlefield will be greatly improved. The original intention of such a competition.

The lottery is in charge of the department of the county government. Representatives from each team go to the lottery to draw lots, sort out their opponents, and then leave the field in order to start the competition. This kind of competition is much more troublesome than archery. Wearing cotton armor , It takes time to choose weapons and arrange the array. It is definitely not enough to end the day, but this is also within expectation. The county government has already made preparations in advance and arranged the time for this autumn harvest competition for three Days, enough to complete all the competitions.

When this kind of competition started, the school field was even more lively. The two teams who ended up in the field were obviously inexperienced. Although they looked good together, when the two teams rushed together, they were in a mess. There is no cooperation at all, and they slash and kill with swords and guns.

Fortunately, there are a group of referees watching. Otherwise, after someone has been recruited, they still hold up wooden knives and guns and refuse to come out. They fight against their opponents on the field, which almost turned into a farce. It almost became a group fight of copying guys.

Looking at the chaotic scene in the arena, Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help covering his eyes, and couldn't bear to watch it any longer. It seems that the bow and arrow clubs still need to strengthen their training in this area in the next step!What kind of battle formation is this?Compared with ordinary people fighting in groups, it is really not much better!

As a result, after Guo Liang scolded them in the field, the two teams were pulled apart, and they were all eliminated immediately regardless of the outcome. .

Although the bruised and swollen guys from the two teams were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to make mistakes because the county government officials were all there.

With the lessons learned from the first group, the next situation began to improve a lot, and the two teams who left the field became more disciplined, and the offense and defense between each other began to look a little better, and finally broke away from the category of fighting , when they attacked each other, they began to cooperate to a certain extent, and the participants became more conscious. After being recruited, they left the arena to watch the battle as required. .

Liu Zhixian is a standard civil servant, and he has never seen a battle. After seeing such a fighting method for the first time, he became even more interested, shaking his head again and again: "It turns out that fighting is like this. It seems that I Wait until today to open your eyes!"

Gao Huaiyuan curled his lips slightly, and thought to himself, if this is considered a war, then what is the scene of tens of thousands of people fighting on the battlefield?I really don't know much!But he was just slandering, and he wouldn't really say it.

The team battle of 20 people will not last long, and the well-organized team will soon kill all the opponents and win the victory, and then the winning side immediately cheers while standing in the field, and the losing side is naturally honest and disheartened Exit to make room for the next match.

Everyone was watching with gusto. The nearby big trees were full of people. It was really worrying whether these trees would be overwhelmed on the spot. Gao Huaiyuan was worried about accidents, so he had to arrange people to drive the people on those trees down to watch. , I was a little dizzy from being busy.

So busy until dark, finally completed three competitions, the first day of the competition is over, but the people are still enthusiastic, gathered in the school field outside the city and refused to leave, such a grand occasion compared to The Chinese New Year is even more lively, but it is rare for people in Daye County to encounter such a scene, gradually turning a martial arts competition into a carnival.

The peddlers have a very keen sense of smell, and soon put their small stalls on the school grounds outside the city, and started their small business. There were piles of bonfires lit on the school grounds, and people from all the archery clubs sat around Eat and chat next to the campfire, and from time to time there are children playing in the crowd.

After Gao Huaiyuan arranged things for the evening, he sent Liu Zhixian and others back to the mansion in the city. The group of Liu Zhixian were very excited, talking and laughing all the way and gathered in the restaurant to drink again.

When Gao Huaiyuan returned to his residence, Zhou Jun knocked on the door to ask for an interview, and Gao Huaiyuan took him into the room.

"Little incompetent, I am ashamed of the young master today! I failed to take back the top spot in archery! Please punish me, young master!" Zhou Jun knelt in front of Gao Huaiyuan to plead guilty with a face of shame.

"Get up! A strong man has a strong man. Don't forget the old saying of our ancestors, there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people! The folks have always been the place where dragons and tigers are hidden. Dong Qiang seems to be a hunter. It was developed from childhood experience, as long as you practice harder, you will eventually achieve great success! But today you can be regarded as defeating Yourong, not counting as a loss of our Gaojiazhuang's reputation, so don't worry too much about it! This There is no general victorious in this world, some setbacks are only good for you and not bad for you, you go back to rest and prepare for tomorrow's competition, in this confrontation competition, you must come out on top!" Gao Huaiyuan called Zhou Jun up , comforted him a bit, to be honest, Zhou Jun’s defeat today was also something he hadn’t thought of, but he didn’t take it seriously. Their skills should be considered quite good in Daye County, and someone should come to dampen their spirits, so that they don't know the heights of the sky and the earth.

After Zhou Jun got up, he nodded and said, "I've been educated, little one! I'll go back and get ready. I'm going to win the first place in the battle and come back tomorrow!"

Gao Huaiyuan naturally has confidence in Zhou Jun's guarantee, because in Daye County, the boys with the most experience before the battle are his boys, and Zhou Jun can be said to be second only to Huang Yan and Zhou Hao among these people. One, more than a year of battlefield experience has taught him a lot, and with the occasional suggestions from himself and Zhou Hao, the group of people in the Gaojiazhuang Bow and Arrow Club have reached a fairly good overall level of cooperation. If such an advantage still fails, it will be a bit unjustifiable.

So on the second day when the school field kicked off, the Gaojiazhuang Bow and Arrow Club, which appeared first, charged forward and defeated the opponent. Only one person on his side was eliminated, and the opponent's 20 people were wiped out. Such a one-sided battle situation. Everyone in Gaojiazhuang was stunned, it seemed that the people in Gaojiazhuang were not too tough, and they didn't take advantage of their opponents at all, but the strange thing was that after such a charge, the opponents were stunned and defeated by them. They couldn't organize any effective attacks, and in just a short while, they were all cleared out of the arena. Another upset broke out, which drew applause from the arena.

"Captain Gao! The bow and arrow club in Gaojiazhuang is really extraordinary, and they are doing really well. They must have received your advice!" After watching Gaojiazhuang's performance, Liu Zhixian turned around and asked Gao Huaiyuan with a smile.

"My lord Liu, the lower officials are not partial. When it comes to the battlefield, the lower officials have no partiality. In the past six months, every lower official of the bow and arrow club has personally given advice. It can only be said that some bow and arrow clubs don't pay much attention to it. The most important thing on the battlefield is cooperation, the difference between the elite and the mob lies in this, the same people, cooperation can exert the greatest combat power, if you don't pay attention to cooperation, you will naturally fail!" Gao Huaiyuan explained to Liu Zhixian disapprovingly .

Liu Zhixian thought about it for a while, and it was really the case. It seems that they just read what the battlefield looks like. No wonder Gao Huaiyuan led the army to make meritorious service in front of the battle, and he was able to retreat completely, but Wang Xianwei took a risk. Pao died in front of the army, probably the gap between them lies in this!Liu Zhixian also learned a lesson and understood some things about the battlefield.

After looking at the performance of the Gaojiazhuang Bow and Arrow Club, the next few matches are nothing to watch. Basically, the strength of the two sides in the battle is equal. At the beginning, there is still offense and defense, but often after someone leaves the field, the formation is chaotic. In the end, it turned into a scuffle, which turned into a fight, and the result was that after one side won, there were not many people left. Compared with the Gaojiazhuang just now, this result is really a bit embarrassing.

Therefore, the winner can enter the next competition. After the original twelve teams were eliminated, only five teams remained. The outsiders could see that the combat power of the Gaojiazhuang Bow and Arrow Club was not at the same level as other teams, so they nodded and agreed to let the other four teams draw lots again. First, there will be a semi-final, and the two winning teams will tie together to deal with Gaojia. For Zhuang's team, it seemed unfair to do so, but Gaojiazhuang's bow and arrow club performed really well, which caused dissatisfaction among many teams.

After the results were announced, there was an uproar on the field. Some people expressed dissatisfaction with the unfair treatment of the Gaojiazhuang Archery Club, but most people still booed, hoping to see a more exciting competition, so the field was chaotic for a while. Quiet.

But Gao Huaiyuan finally ordered to follow this request, and the four bow and arrow club teams started to fight again.

Before lunch, two teams were finally decided to enter the decisive battle. Everyone's appetite was turned up, and they talked about whether the Gaojiazhuang Archery Club could withstand the siege of the two teams. He also set up a game outside the court, allowing gamblers to place bets to see who can win.

After the gamblers thought over and over again, most of them placed their bets on the other two bow and arrow clubs. In their view, no matter how powerful the people in Gaojiazhuang were, they could not defeat twice as many people as them. The rate is smaller, but at least the chances of winning are much greater.

Taking advantage of lunch, Gao Huaiyuan quietly called Catcher Xing aside, and asked in a low voice: "Tell me honestly, what are the odds on the board at the casino now! Don't tell me you don't know, otherwise, hehe snort……"

Xing Butou rubbed his hands with a smile on his face and replied: "This... so the county captain knows about it! This... the little one just heard about it! Hehe!"

"Stop talking nonsense, tell me what the current odds are!" Gao Huaiyuan said with a sneer at Xing Tutou.

Catcher Xing saw that he couldn't do it anymore, so he had no choice but to recruit honestly: "This... the odds! It seems that Gaojiazhuang is now paying [-] to [-]! The two teams over there are now paying [-] to [-]!"
