263 That’s His Highness’s marksmanship(1/2)
The arrows used by the contestants are the same, but the colors of the arrow feathers are different to distinguish them. One side has the original white arrow feathers, and the other has dyed red arrow feathers.
The red color belongs to Chang Suining. She chose it specially because she wanted to be lucky during the Chinese New Year.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the row of fifty arrow targets along with the counting person, trying to count them, and soon, there were comments and surprises everywhere.
"Okay, little Ah Li wins!" A Dian raised his arms and cheered loudly.
A coach next to him frowned and said, "We haven't finished counting yet!"
——Just yelling here!
Due to A Dian's identity, he did not dare to say the second half of the sentence.
But the first half of the sentence alone has revealed how upset he is at the moment. If the outcome is clear, he doesn't have to argue with a mentally retarded person and just let the other person make random noises.
It was precisely because it was difficult to tell the winner from the archery targets at a glance, which surprised them and made them uneasy, so they couldn't listen to these words.
On the fifty archery targets, there are two feathered arrows respectively, which means that both of them have perfect arrows, and no one misses the target!
And at a glance, there are no two arrows that are too far apart on any of the archery targets, and most of them are close to each other.
And what’s beyond “most” is the key to winning or losing...
After confirming the count again and again, the captain in charge of this competition loudly said: "Instructor Fang Da hit the bull's-eye forty-seven times!"
Forty-seven!
The crowd started talking.
The young coaches who were not able to squeeze in at the front breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and said in an expected tone: "I knew that Coach Fang would definitely not miss when he took action!"
This competition is the standard for the great coach's assessment, and it is very strict.
In ordinary rifle shooting, it is said that Instructor Fang Da can hit the bull's-eye with all 50 shots, while in horseback shooting with obstacles, the number will never be lower than 47 shots, and the error can be controlled within three shots.
What's more, this time it was an evening competition, and there must have been some obstructions to the line of sight, but I didn't miss anything, which is amazing!
"Okay." Chang Kuo stroked his beard and nodded appreciatively: "Chang looked at the white arrow and almost pierced the bullseye. This shows that Coach Fang's arm strength is extraordinary."
Hearing this compliment, soldiers behind him whispered to each other: "General Chang Da is indeed fair, decent, and of extraordinary magnanimity..."
Although the other party said that he had won over his own daughter, he did not hesitate to praise and affirm him.
Coach Fang Da, who was praised, had a completely different mood. He handed over his hand and said, "General Chang Da is very complimentary."
Normally, this kind of praise would be undesirable, but at this time...
Coach Fang turned his head slightly and looked at the arrow targets.
After his white arrows were counted and pulled from the target, only the red arrows were left on the target, making them more neat and eye-catching.
The expressions of the coaches standing in front have changed.
"Ms. Chang hit the bull's-eye fifty times this time!" the school captain reported loudly.
——Fifty?
——All hit the bullseye?!
The surroundings suddenly became turbulent and noisy!
"really?"
"How can it be!"
The soldiers behind wanted to squeeze to the front to have a look.
Winning or losing is not important to them at this moment, they just want to see what those fifty arrows that all hit the bullseye look like!
Coach Zhu’s face was frozen, and he was also in disbelief.
Coach Fang did not miss, but it was precisely because he still lost to the opponent even though he did not miss that it was even more unacceptable. Even if he tried to find some excuse, he would not be able to find one.
"The first competition, the first round of cavalry and shooting, Mrs. Chang wins!" the captain announced the result loudly.
Coach Fang's face was tense and silent.
When there are obstacles in the way and the time limit is tight, it is common for many people to miss the target, let alone hit the bullseye, and hit all fifty...
At least before this, he had never seen anyone hit the bull's-eye with fifty bullets.
This must be a wizard among wizards, and a wizard who has practiced hard.
He has no shame in losing to these fifty arrows.
But lost to a little girl...
"Little Ah Li won, we just won, just a little bit..." A Dian made a face at the coach who just spoke harshly to him.
"..." The instructor's expression was very exciting for a moment, and he clenched his fists.
Because there were too many curious people, and some had doubts, at Chang Kuo's signal, the school captain ordered all fifty arrow targets to be moved to an open area for people to watch.
Many people quickly gathered around him, and the competition here continued.
Some soldiers worked together to bring a weapon rack, which contained two knives and two spears. The knives were the most commonly used horizontal knives in Dasheng's army, and the spears were ordinary long spears with white shafts and red tassels.
Swords and guns, swords and guns, first compete with knives, then guns.
The coaches gathered themselves together and looked at the field again.
Riding and shooting is just one of the first games. As long as Coach Fang successfully wins both sword and gun categories, the first game will not be considered a loss!
Where did this go?
If riding and shooting are about one's own abilities and the two do not interfere with each other, then the latter items that require close combat will widen the disparity in physical strength between the two. In other words, Fang
The advantage of the great coach still lies behind.
Both of the two people on the field had received their weapons. Coach Fang looked at the girl who still had a relaxed expression, and reminded her in a hoarse voice: "A sword and a gun have no eyes, Mrs. Chang must be careful."
Chang Sui Ning raised his knife and clasped his fists: "I will."
The two looked at each other and each took a step back.
The drum beats again.
Teacher Fang paused with his head and feet, then raised his sword in anger and attacked aggressively.
Chang Sui Ning did not move or dodge. He raised his knife to block, but was forced back five or six steps by the opponent's fierce force. Sand and stones flew under his feet.
After taking advantage of this buffer, she turned sideways to break away from the opponent's attack.
Instructor Fang Da attacked again, but Chang Sui Ning still did not evade. This time she changed to a side block. The swords in their hands collided, making a buzzing sound. The torches and bonfires flickered, and the firelight reflected on the blades, like knives.
Sparks also flew out.
The sparks were also reflected in the girl's eyes.
Everyone watched the battle with a sigh of relief. Yuan Xiang hid half of his body behind A Dian, biting his lower lip nervously.
He had never been so nervous when he went to the battlefield!
Coach Fang was using the knife very fiercely. If Mrs. Chang couldn't stop it, the knife would fall on her body, and the consequences would be disastrous. But Mrs. Chang didn't seem to have the upper hand at this moment.
The fact seems to be the case. Coach Fang is on the offensive, while Chang Sui Ning is on the defensive. The former always takes the initiative.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Min looked at Chang Kuo: "General Chang..."
But Chang Kuo, a father, comforted him: "Don't worry, it will be over soon."
Xiao Min's mood is complicated, what kind of ending?
The atmosphere was tense.
When Chang Suining was forced to take a few steps back for the last time, he glanced at the gap in the blade of the knife in his hand, then looked at Coach Fang Da who was pressing forward step by step, and said, "It's my turn."
Coach Fang frowned, and before he had time to react or think, he attacked the girl again.
This time, his knife was lowered much lower, and it was aimed at the waist and abdomen in front of the girl.
The girl's body was as light as the wind. As she turned to avoid it, a knife suddenly came out from his side. The knife was very sharp, just like the look in her eyes.
This move shocked Instructor Fang Da. He raised his sword to block, but the girl did not fight with him. Instead, she quickly changed the direction of the sword in her hand and attacked elsewhere.
Coach Fangda blocked it again.
After five or six moves like this, he was forced to retreat step by step, and he soon realized that the girl seemed to be able to predict his movements, suppressing the possibility of his counterattack with every attack, and not allowing him to make any moves at all.
Chance!
So...she only defended but did not attack before, just to test out his sword skills?!
Everyone has heard the saying "Know yourself and know the enemy", but it is not easy to do it, especially when the moves are already thrilling. From the perspective of a bystander, how can you really calm down and figure out all the opponent's ways, unless, there is
And there is only one possibility...
That is the person who "knows the enemy". His temperament and strength are far superior to those who are tempted!
This answer shocked Coach Fang. As the girl's attack became faster and faster, he retreated continuously, and his sword skills already showed a sense of panic.
The onlookers all around were astonished.
Different from the previous riding and shooting competitions that took place around the martial arts arena, the contestants were right in front of them at this moment. However, even though they were witnessing it with their own eyes, some people were still very surprised and could not understand why the situation suddenly reversed.
To be continued...
