Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 179
Soon, the ten straw figures were placed seventy steps away.

Huan Chu curled his lips and asked Gao Chu, "Gao Chu, can you do it?"

Gao Chu smiled subduedly, pointed to the golden armor in front of Xiang Zhuang and said, "I, Gao Chu, have made up my mind on this set of golden armor for the general today!"

"Okay!" Xiang Zhuang said happily, "Gao Chu, if you can hit all ten arrows, I will give you another yellow horse!"

After finishing speaking, Xiang Zhuang turned back and gestured to Jin Xiang, and Jin Xiang went to the front of the stage and waved. A soldier had already led a Huang Biao BMW with a shoulder height of more than eight feet to the stage. Although the horse Huang Biao is not as good as Wu Zou, Rouge, and Chi Liu, it is still a rare BMW.

Gao Chu was overjoyed and said: "Hehe, this Huang Biao horse is about to be ordered!"

After all, Gao Chu walked down the platform with big strides, and the captain of the personal army, Po Jun, had already brought a good horse.

Gao Chu got on his horse, and suddenly raised the iron tire bow in his hand towards the generals of the various armies standing in front of the counting platform and the soldiers of the Chu army lined up on both sides. With a full look, many generals and almost all the soldiers of the Chu army suddenly cheered like a tsunami.

Generals and schools fight back and forth, but ordinary soldiers have simple ideas.

For a general with special skills like Gao Chu, the soldiers will never be stingy with their cheers.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Huan Chu and Ji Bu's mouths couldn't help twitching. It could be seen that Gao Chu now has a very high prestige in the hearts of the generals of the Chu army.

The next moment, Gao Chu had already left Juechen to the left.

During the suffocating wait, Gao Chu finally galloped back on his horse. It was only when the horse's hooves barely touched the line that Gao Chu reached for the quiver on the side of his leg with his backhand, grabbed the four spiked heavy arrows at once, and in a very short time Nei suddenly buckled on the bowstring, and the next moment, Gao Chu only pulled the bow a little, before he let go of the bowstring, and the four arrows whizzed away.

"Puff puff puff puff!" There were four soft sounds, and all four heavy spiked arrows hit the target.

In the midst of being dizzy, Gao Chu bowed his right hand, and his left hand took out six spiked arrows again, indicating that it was too late, and the six spiked arrows had already roared out from the bowstring of the iron bow. It was extremely shocking that, These six spike arrows are almost connected end to end, forming a straight line in the air, six arrows in a row, and they bow left and right!
Pang Yu's face was full of shock. It was not a problem to shoot left and right, and it was not a problem to shoot six arrows in succession.

However, the archery skill of the left hand is absolutely incomparable to that of the right hand. At this moment, Pang Yu looked at Gao Chu again, showing undisguised respect.

After firing six arrows in a row, Gao Chu unhurriedly buckled the No. 11 Spike Arrow.

Everyone was stunned, but Gao Chu put the iron tire bow behind his head with his backhand, and then shot the last heavy arrow at the straw man seventy steps away. Almost at the same time as the spiked arrow hit the straw man, Gao Chu The front hooves of the mounts could barely touch the line, and the soldiers of the Chu army were fascinated by watching it. After a long while, they finally erupted into cheers like mountains and seas.

With such a magic arrow, Huan Chu and Ji Bu on the spotting platform couldn't help cheering loudly.

Amid waves of cheers, Gao Chu calmly stepped onto the stage, bowing to each other again.

Xiang Zhuang stepped forward and patted Gao Chu on the shoulder, saying: "Boy, your archery skills have improved again."

Gao Chu bowed his hands to Xiang Zhuang again, and then strode forward, ready to take the golden armor.

Just at this time, another cavalry suddenly turned out from under the counting platform, and shouted sharply on the horseback: "General Gao Chu, wait a minute, if you want the golden armor and Huang Biao's horse, first ask me if I will agree to the carved bow in my hand." !"

Yo ho, there are really no eyesight, dare to challenge Gao Chu? !There was an uproar among the hundreds of generals under the platform, and when they looked closely, it was Youyuan, the captain of Dianjun under the command of the general.

Seeing You Yuan coming out, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help smiling and nodding at him as encouragement.

This kid in Gaochu has always been coquettish, and the veterans of the army usually look like Lao Tzu is the best in the world. Of course, Xiang Zhuang will not fight against the arrogance of these arrogant soldiers, but let You Yuan tell them, There is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people, but it couldn't be more appropriate.

You Yuan bowed to Jin Xiang again and said, "Thank you General Jin, move the grass man forward another thirty steps!"

Hearing the words, Gao Chu couldn't help but change his face slightly. If the straw man moves forward thirty steps, it will be a hundred steps. If he shoots standing still, Gao Chu can even hit the red heart of the target within a hundred steps. On the back of a galloping horse at high speed, within [-] paces you can hit a human-shaped archery target with great confidence, within [-] paces you can barely do it, and after [-] paces you can only be lucky.

With a wave of Jin Xiang's hand, ten soldiers already moved the ten straw figures forward thirty steps.

You Yuan rushed to Xiangzhuang and bowed his hands, then he reined in his horse and went away. He rode four or five hundred steps before he could rein in his horse and turn around.

Taking a deep breath, closing his eyes again to calm himself down, You Yuan lightly urged the horse to gallop back to the front of the deployment platform. When it was almost close to the white line on the left, You Yuan held the bow with his left hand and shot the arrow with his right. Among the five arrows, two mace arrows were held between the index finger and thumb of the right hand. This technique alone is already better than Gao Chuban.

In a blink of an eye, five spiked arrows have already been released, and all of them hit the target.

At that time, Yuan bowed his right hand and his left hand held the arrows, and then he shot them out one by one. The generals and soldiers with good eyesight saw them clearly, and they also shot six arrows, and all of them hit the target. One of the straw figures was hit by two arrows, but Youyuan's performance continued.

After firing five arrows at once, opening the bow left and right, and adding six arrows in a row, You Yuan suddenly put the bow on the sole of his right foot, and then the arrow in his right hand was caught on the bowstring. Opening his bow, Leng Sensen's arrow pointed at the straw man on the far right a hundred paces away.

Almost at the same time that the horse's front hoof touched the line, You Yuan also let go of his right hand.

The last spiked heavy arrow whizzed forward and hit the straw man on the far right steadily.

Dead silence, the entire contest field was suddenly dead silent, whether it was the general on the general stage, the lieutenants and lieutenants off the general stage, or the small colonels or soldiers lined up on the left and right sides of the general stage, all of them opened their mouths wide and their faces were full. It's unbelievable, what is a magical skill?This is the real magic!

It wasn't until Yuan Lema turned back that the audience burst into earth-shattering cheers.

Amid waves of cheers, Xiang Zhuang walked down the platform with the golden armor in his hands, and put the armor on You Yuan with his own hands, and Jin Xiang brought Huang Biao and the BMW to You Yuan. Reminded by Xiang Zhuang, You Yuan got on his horse, put on a golden armour, and rode a yellow Puma majesticly and vigorously around.

On the platform, Wei Liao nodded slightly, and Bai Lixian also smiled knowingly.

It must be admitted that Xiang Zhuang's trick was extremely beautiful. While winning over the old Qin soldiers, he did not arouse the resentment of the veterans of the Chu army. He did not see that Huan Chu, Ji Bu, Gao Chu, and Xiao Kai were also there. Cheering with your neck down?This was simply unimaginable before.

Beijiao, Gaoque Pass.

Meng Chu hurried up to the tower, and asked the deputy general Meng Keng, "Meng Keng, what's going on?"

The [-] Qin troops from Mengji did not participate in the Jiuyuan Great Competition. Firstly, troops were needed to garrison Gaoque, and if the Qin Army wanted to participate in the Great Competition, it would be too unfair to the rest of the armies.

Meng Keng pointed to the outside of the pass, and said to Meng Chu: "Look, General, Xiutu seems to be leaving."

"Huh?" Meng Ji put on the awning and looked out of the pass, only to see the Xiutu people who were grazing on the grassy beach outside the pass in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if they were really packing up, and the felt bags had been removed. All kinds of utensils were also loaded onto the ox carts one after another, and the flocks of sheep scattered on the surrounding grasslands were also being driven back.

Twisting the beard on the corner of his lips, he said blindly: "It seems that Xiu Turen is really going to leave."

"Don't you think this is a bit strange, General?" Meng Keng said, "Xiutu has been staying outside the customs for more than two months, why is he leaving all of a sudden?"

"This matter is indeed a bit strange." Meng Ji said, "In this case, you immediately send a fast horse to report back to Jiuyuan!"

"Here!" Meng Keng abruptly agreed and took the order to go.

Jiuyuan, the general Xingyuan.

Xiang Zhuang is discussing matters with Wei Liao and Bai Lixian.

Xiang Zhuang said: "Military division, Ziliang, do you think it's time to arrange actual combat drills?"

Wei Liao said: "The general's worries are very serious, and this old man also thinks that we should arrange actual combat drills." To be honest, the cavalry and archery standards of the [-] Chu army are still very low, at least far behind the Jiuyuan Qin army. However, it is now late September, and it is about to enter the late autumn season. The Huns may go south at any time, and there is not much time left for the Chu army.

Bai Lixian shook his feather fan and asked, "I wonder if the general is going to use the Linhu people to train soldiers, or is he going to slaughter the people?"

Xiang Zhuang said without hesitation: "Of course it's Xiu Turen!" In the last battle in the cloud, although the Linhu people defeated Lou Fanren, they suffered heavy casualties. There were only a few of the 1 strong men left, and now there are only more than 5000 cavalry at full strength. , the rest are all old and young, women and children, how meaningful is it to beat Lin Hu?
As for the [-] bed crossbows traded to the Linhu people, that's not a problem.

Those [-] bed crossbows were tampered with beforehand. All the crossbow arms and strings were soaked by the public transporter in a kind of concoction of unknown composition before the transaction. There was no problem in a short time, but once If it takes more than three months, it will quickly decay in a short period of time. By this time, most of the five hundred bed crossbows have been useless.

As soon as Xiang Zhuang's words fell, Jin Xiang hurried in, bowed his hands to Xiang Zhuang and said, "General, General Meng urgently reported that the nomadic Xiutu people outside Gaoque Pass have withdrawn!"

"Ok?"

"what?"

Wei Liao and Bailixian all showed surprise when they heard the words, this is a bit strange.

Xiang Zhuang's expression also changed slightly when he heard the words, he frowned and said in thought, "Xiutu has withdrawn?"

After being slightly surprised, Bailixian suddenly came back to his senses, and immediately yelled: "Ah, that's not good, General, it's probably because the Huns are going south!"
