Chapter 134 Houyi Camp
The island is not big, only seven or eight miles in a radius. After turning to the mountain, a camp of not very large appeared in front of Liang Xiao. At a glance, there were only about twenty tents and two hundred people.
However, before entering the camp, Liang Xiao felt a unique atmosphere. The camp was built relatively tightly, unlike the camps I saw before. The camps were erected with thick logs and erected the gatehouses. There were two soldiers holding crossbows on each gatehouse. Even if they entered the camp during the Zhongli period, they had to report the order and were meticulous.
After entering the camp, two teams of soldiers came towards him, one team of five, staggered from front to back, more than ten steps apart, left and right, three steps apart, a standard two-team cooperation small formation. Although the ten soldiers were not tall, they were full of energy and looked alert. When they saw Zhongliqi, they saluted from afar and turned to other directions.
"Is this the master's personal guard camp?"
"This is the shooting camp trained by the general, and it is your brother." Zhong Liqi said, pointing to the battle flag of the central army. Liang Xiao looked up and saw that the battle flag was dancing lightly in the wind. A bow could be seen on it. He put a arrow on it, and pointed directly at a red sun, which looked like a pool of blood.
"Call the sun?"
Zhongliqi glanced at Liang Xiao with contempt: "Houyi Camp. However, we are all called the Shooting Sound Camp. The general plans to train a battalion of Shooting Sounds in two to three years."
Liang Xiao was shocked. A battalion of sound shooters? I go, that's a real special combat camp. With such a battalion, who else can defeat him in the mountains and forests? However, his eyes turned and he was happy again.
"Why are you laughing at?" Zhong Liqi felt a little guilty.
"Uncle Zhongli, don't tease me. My master is scaring me, don't take it seriously. If the archer is so easy to train, what else can I talk about?"
Zhong Liqi was very embarrassed. He had to take a stern face and lead Liang Xiao towards the big tent. Standing at the door of the big tent, Liang Xiao looked up at the big flag with bows and arrows embroidered. He shrugged, smiled twice, and walked into the big tent with his head down.
Huan Yuan sat in the tent, holding a bamboo cup, drinking. When he heard Liang Xiao's footsteps, he didn't look up, took a sip of the wine, and said slowly: "You seem to disagree with my Houyi Camp?"
Liang Xiao looked at it. In addition to Huan Yuan and Zhongliqi, there were two young Yue people in the tent, one man and one woman. The man was handsome, the woman was slim, and her skin was slightly dark, but they were both agile. They were carrying a horn bow that was rare among Yue people. Seeing Liang Xiao come in, they all looked over, with curiosity and dissatisfaction in their eyes.
Liang Xiao smiled, pulled out his bow from the arrow pouch behind him, and placed it on the table in front of Huan Yuan.
"Master. My bow was customized in Chang'an after I arrived in Chang'an. It is worth one gold and one stone of bow power. Apart from you, if anyone else can pull my bow, I am willing to give it to him, which is considered a gift to the elder brother. How about it?"
"You dare to be rude to the commander." The girl behind Huan Yuan shouted violently, took the bow with her left hand, reached behind her right hand, and then went to get the arrow. Before she could pull the arrow out of the arrow bag, Liang Xiao suddenly stood up, picked up the bow on the table, drew the arrow, slapped the bow, slapped the strings, and shot the arrow. It was as fast as lightning, and it was done in one go.
"Buzz" the bowstring was still shaking, and Liang Xiao had already shot out an arrow, hitting the arrow pouch on the girl's back, not only shot through the arrow pouch, but also shot through the tent behind her. A ray of sunlight shone in, illuminating her earlobe, as crystal clear as jade.
The girl widened her eyes and stared at Liang Xiao in a daze, slowly pulling out the arrow, but only half of the arrow was there.
The arrow she was about to suck was shot by Liang Xiao through the arrow pouch.
Liang Xiao sat down again, never looked at the girl again, put the bow in front of Huan Yuan, and slightly raised the corner of his mouth. "Master, it seems that the qualifications of my junior brothers and sisters are really not very good."
"You..." The girl's face turned red, her almond eyes widened, she threw a half-cut arrow on the ground, and reached out to pull the arrow again.
"Okay." Huan Yuan shouted softly: "No matter whether it is archery or whether it is mental or mental, you have already lost. He is your senior brother, and he is a year earlier than you. It is not unfair to lose to him."
The girl glared at Liang Xiao unwillingly, touched her cheek, and retreated. The boy's face darkened and he took a step forward. "Master, I want to try the bow of the senior brother."
Huan Yuan looked up at him, then looked at Liang Xiao, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly. "Okay, you try."
The boy turned around and walked to the desk, bowed to Huan Yuan, reached out to pick up the bow, glanced at Liang Xiao again, and raised the corner of his mouth: "What the eldest brother said seriously?"
"A gentleman's words are as good as a horse. In front of the master, will I, the senior brother, still lie to you junior brothers and sisters?" Liang Xiao didn't even look at him, but just looked at Huan Yuan, with a faint smile on his lips. Huan Yuan's face was as deep as water, and he could not see any expression, but his eyes were a little entangled.
The boy did not notice the eye contact of their master. After hearing Liang Xiao's words, he took a deep breath without saying a word, bent down, got up, and opened his bow. His posture was exactly the same as Liang Xiao's opening posture. It was obviously a disciple trained by Huan Yuan himself.
However, he failed to fully open Liang Xiao's bow, and only pulled it two-thirds away and could not pull it away again. He tried again, but he still couldn't do it. Just as he was about to try it for the third time, the girl stamped her feet and shouted, "Idiot, his bow is bigger than our bow. Your arms are not long enough, so you are unhappy."
"Puchi" Liang Xiao finally couldn't help laughing out loud. While laughing, he shook his head.
The boy woke up like a dream, his face turned red and he put down his bow awkwardly.
The size of the bow is related to the physical conditions of each person. He is tall and his arms are long, so he can draw a large bow. If his figure is not enough and his arm strength is enough, he can draw a hard bow. Seeing that Liang Xiao is similar to his body, the boy thought that the bow was similar, and at most it was just a little harder. Liang Xiao also said that this was a stone bow, and his arm strength was extraordinary, so he could draw a stone bow. Then he had to try it, trying it out, trying it out and snatched Liang Xiao's bow and slashed Liang Xiao's sharpness.
But he forgot one thing, Liang Xiao's figure is similar to his, but his arms are longer. Liang Xiao's bow is not only hard, but also a large bow. He only has arm strength and does not have arm length, and he still cannot fully open it. He does not lose in strength, but in arm length.
In other words, he was fooled by Liang Xiao and lost his ugly face in vain.
Liang Xiao put away his bow and inserted it back into the arrow bag. "Master, if I guess well, these two should be your most proud disciples besides me. If they are just like this, no one else has to try again, right?"
The girl shouted unconvincedly: "It's just a trick. What's the point of bragging about? If you have the ability, you and I will go to the mountains and forests to make a life-and-death decision."
"When two armies fight, those who do more will win. Before the competition, the most important thing is to observe the enemy's material formation. If you can go out rashly without even observing the opponent, and still hope to win?" Liang Xiao said slowly, but his eyes were staring at Huan Yuan. "Master, you don't have any chance of winning, why not stop when you see the good?"
"Who said I have no chance of winning?" Huan Yuan chuckled softly. "Li Guang sent you here to let you deal with me, right? You are in my control now, who else can deal with me? Their shooting skills are indeed not as good as you, but they are more than enough to deal with the soldiers of Kuaiji County. Do you think so?"
Liang Xiao's face changed and his body moved. Before he could stand up, the boy rushed over, his hands pressing firmly on his shoulders like iron pliers. The girl drew the arrow, pointed the arrow pointing directly to his face, and shouted sternly: "Don't move, why don't you shoot you to death with one arrow."
