The final battle is not the last game, but the top ten games to decide. Tomorrow's top three competition is the last game of the entire bow and horse competition.

However, today's competition is also extremely important. Today's results will be brought into tomorrow, and tomorrow's results will be added as the final judgment.

Five knights were each from Dali and Tubo countries to participate in the competition. Together with the forty riding and shooting masters from Liao and Xixia countries, there were a total of fifty foreign arrow warriors. They broke up with forty Song arrow warriors and held a mobile target competition.

In this final, under the firm opposition of Liao and Xixia, the bow score was cancelled. This is because most of the archers in Xixia and Liao were one stone bows, while the Song army archers who reached the finals almost all had two stone bows, and the Song army had the advantage on the bow.

However, although the bow weight score was cancelled, the 30-minute time score was added. All participating warriors must shoot three arrows in the thirty drum sounds and score them with the remaining drum sounds.

In order to ensure fairness, the finals also cancelled the impression points, but left and right tens were retained. In this way, sixty points were added to the target shooting score and thirty points, the total score was still 100 points. If the same score was given, you would have to try it extra.

The target of the arrow is quite special, with three pigeons. This is the plan proposed by the Liao Kingdom. When the archer entered the field and ran, the three pigeon slaves threw the pigeons into the sky one after another. The scoring standards were the same as those of the fixed target. They shot the head for twenty points, fifteen points on the neck and ten points on the body.

This requires warriors to pay great attention to the choice of arrows. They cannot choose the wolf-tooth arrow with an inverted triangle. They must use the armor-breaking arrow with a slender pointed conical arrow. Otherwise, even if they hit the pigeon's head, they will not be able to shoot in due to the great resistance of the arrow. Only thin and long arrows like needles are the most ideal arrows.

Li Yanqing drew No. 79 and lined up behind, but the Western Xia warrior Sa Jin, who had been provoking him, was No. 3 and was the third one to play. As the flag was raised, Sa Jin was already waiting at the starting point. Each person had only three arrows and only three chances to shoot arrows.

‘When!’ A bell rang, Sa Jin ran out, and the drum sounded immediately. The drum sound was neither fast nor slow. If the horse was not stopped, it should only take twenty drum sounds to complete the competition. This would get ten minutes. This actually tests the decisiveness of each warrior to shoot arrows and the level of riding and shooting.

However, in this way, it is almost impossible to get more than 90 points. If you perform very well, you can only get eighty points.

Sa Jin was the first warrior who was not a great Song Dynasty. When he rushed into the arena, the people around him suddenly booed. The people of the Song Dynasty clearly had a distinct grudge and gave the ruthless mockery to the warriors of the enemy country. How could a hundred-year grudge be eliminated in a friendship game?

In the VIP seat in the stands, Jiao Yanjian's face sank and said to Tong Guan next to him: "This is too rude!"

Tong Guan smiled faintly, "If we go to the Xixia competition, we will probably have the same treatment."

Duan Xingye, the envoy of Dali Kingdom, smiled and said, "If it were a match in Xixia Kingdom, there would be not only booing, but also shooting arrows at once. It would be great if he could leave alive."

Tong Guan raised his head and smiled, "Prince Duan is really good at joking!"

Jiao Yanjian turned around and glared at Duan Xingye fiercely, and then stopped saying a word. At this time, the first pigeon flapped into the air. According to experience, the pigeon was generally the best opportunity when it was thrown into the sky and its wings had not yet been spread. At that time, the arrow was not affected by the flapping of the pigeon's wings, and the pigeon itself was difficult to dodge.

Sa Jin also seized this opportunity and shot it with an arrow. The arrow was fast and fierce, hitting the pigeon's head, and the needle arrow directly pierced the pigeon's head. The pigeon whined and fell from the air. At this time, the surroundings were silent, with no cheers or boos. Tens of thousands of people were silently staring at the Western Xia warrior, and many people's eyes shot hatred.

Sa Jin did not stop, and he shot two arrows in a row. The third arrow was replaced by a bow in his left hand and successfully shot three pigeons. Each pigeon hit the head accurately and ran the entire journey with twenty-two drum sounds. As a result, he actually got a high score of 78 points.

This made everyone present take a breath, and there were probably too few people who could surpass him.

Li Yanqing also nodded secretly. He is worthy of being the number one archer in Xixia. He is indeed very powerful. He is impeccable regardless of whether it is accurate or the timing of the arrow. He is much more powerful than his quiver.

Li Yanqing played around three o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, the schedule was half over. The competition between the Song Dynasty Arrow Warriors and Xixia and Liao Kingdoms was almost evenly matched. There were ten people in the Song Dynasty above 70, and there were ten people in the Liao Kingdom and Xixia in total. None of Dali and Tubo reached 70, and the entire army was destroyed. However, the highest score was still 78 points for Sa Jin. Hua Rong's horse speed was one step slower, and he only got 77 points, ranking second.

At this time, the hearts of tens of thousands of viewers present became heavy, and almost everyone looked at the rest greenhouse, and everyone placed their hopes on Li Yanqing. At this time, even if Li Yanqing took the first place, even if they lost the gambling, they would not care at all. In the hearts of most people, national dignity is far more important than money.

At this time, the red flag was waved in the stands, and someone shouted: "Next, No. 79!"

Li Yanqing turned over and walked out of the rest greenhouse. The warm sunshine suddenly spread all over his body. Tens of thousands of people cheered all over the place. Everyone stood up. People waved their arms to him warmly and looked at Li Yanqing with anticipation, hoping that he could create miracles and compare the Western Xia warriors.

Li Yanqing waved his hand and raised his copper bow. The sun shone on the copper bow, shining with golden light. The shouts and applause around him became even more intense. Tens of thousands of soldiers watching the battle shouted excitedly: "Bronze bow and iron arrow!"

The judges and many generals in the stands were also in an uproar. Zhou Tong's copper bow and iron arrow actually appeared in Li Yanqing's hands. Gao Shen narrowed his eyes. It turned out that Li Yanqing was Zhou Tong's disciple. It was really unexpected! I wonder what secrets were hidden in him?

Jiao Yanjian asked Tong Guan in confusion: "Is there anything strange about his bronze bow?"

Tong Guan smiled slightly and said, "His copper bow is not as simple as casting with copper. I have imitated it. After pulling the bow a few times, it broke. His copper bow should not be completely copper. There should be something else inside, so it is very tough and difficult to master. Its original owner was the first master of riding and shooting in the Song Dynasty."

"You mean Zhou Tong?"

Tong Guan nodded, "This Li Yanqing should be Zhou Tong's disciple. He is better than the blue!"

"Haha! I'm looking forward to it."

Tong Guan immediately ordered: "Ring the bell!"

"when"

The bell rang, and Li Yanqing rode his horse out, and the war horse was in tune with him. He stepped on his four hooves and ran towards the finish line like a gust of wind in the drum sound.

‘Dong!Dong!Dong!’

The drum sounded slowly and vigorously, and Li Yanqing held the bronze bow tightly. Last night's sacrifice made him feel like he had a tacit understanding with the bronze bow. The handle of the bow was no longer as cold as before, but instead had a hint of warmth. Perhaps this was just a illusion brought by the sun, but what brought Li Yanqing was a stronger self-confidence.

‘Puff!’ The first pigeon flew up, but Li Yanqing didn’t care about it. He just urged the horse to run, but the trajectory of the pigeon’s flying was engraved in his heart.

‘Bloom!’ The sound of the bow string sounded, and an armor-breaking arrow shot towards the dove like lightning. In an instant, the arrow shot in from the left eye and the right eye revealed, and the dove landed from the air.

There was a thunderous sound around him, but Li Yanqing didn't care about the result at all. His second arrow had been shot out. As soon as a pigeon was thrown up, it was shot through the head by an arrow and nailed to a wooden stake not far away.

There was silence all around, and everyone was nervously waiting for his last arrow. At this time, Li Yanqing had already replaced the bow with his left hand, but he was silently counting the drum sounds in his heart, and it was already seventeen.

"Dong!Dong!Dong"

Just as the twentieth sounded, his war horse jumped up. At the moment when he was about to jump out of the finish line, Li Yanqing lay on the horse's back and shot an arrow. The war horse jumped out of the finish line. The arrow flashed through the air, and a arrow shot the head of a pigeon that had already reached a hundred and twenty steps away. The pigeon fell from the air.

At this time, earth-shaking cheers sounded from all directions, and people hugged each other with excitement, and cried with joy. Twenty drums completed the schedule. At this time, the judges unanimously gave the highest score of 80.

Tong Guan stroked his beard and laughed, but Jiao Yanjian had a blue face and could not say a word.

In the rest shed, Sa Jin punched the wooden stake hard, cursing something loudly.

Even Hua Rong gave a thumbs up rarely. He knew where Li Yanqing was winning? Just when Li Yanqing didn't look at the target at all, he rode his horse wholeheartedly, especially the last arrow, completely abandoning any obstacles, and thus saving the two most precious drum sounds. This has approached the highest level of riding and shooting, and we should capture the target with our heart.

At this time, a subordinate rushed over and whispered a few words in Tong Guan's ear. Tong Guan's face changed, and he got up and quickly left the stands.
Chapter completed!
