Chapter 138 Archery Competition 2
The so-called riding and shooting, as the name suggests, is riding a horse and shooting archery. However, Ximending knew that "riding and shooting" is indeed a bit difficult. The contestant needs to gallop around the field, aim at his target in three ways: orthographing, side shooting, and retrospective shooting. Moreover, the score is not based on hitting the bull's eye as the standard, but requires the three arrows to be in the shape of a "quality" and surround the bull's eye.
The first one to appear was Tsai Yi from Fenghuang Village, a strong man in his thirties. He obviously participated in several competitions and was a familiar face. There were many fans and relatives and friends on the scene. When faced with their yelling, he was very calm. He raised his hands and bent his bow and waved them hard, then slowly rode his horse and started running.
The horse ran faster and faster, and it seemed like a gust of wind blew by the field. When he ran to the second lap, he drew an arrow very quickly and did not aim at it at all. With a "swoosh", an arrow had already shot at the target directly in front of him. With a "sigh", an arrow trembled continuously at the nine rings above the bull's eye.
The first arrow was not good enough. Except for the family and friends group and fans cheering loudly, no one burst out with cheers, and everyone was waiting for the second and third arrows.
The speed of the twilight continued to gallop. At the same time, he had already bent his bow and arrow, and raised his arms to aim at the target. However, this time, he did not shoot out quickly, but aimed for a while and shot an arrow, which hit the lower left of the bull's eye, and was actually at the nine-ring position. This arrow immediately attracted loud cheers from onlookers.
The most critical third arrow was even more careful. He rode on the horse and looked back at the moon. When his neck was almost twisting and sore, he shot out the arrow. He immediately tied the reins and looked at the position of the arrow with a little nervous look on his face.
But when he heard the "Du" sound, the arrow pierced the lower right side of the bull's eye, but it was pierced between the seven or eight rings, and the shape of the "Pin" was distorted. However, this result still made the people around him burst into loud cheers. As a teammate, Ximending also gave warm applause without hesitation.
Zhayi looked a little regretful, but she still looked calm. She raised her bow and waved her hard at the audience, then stepped back to the side.
The second player followed suit, this time he was a player from the Gao family, Juan from the Crescent Village. He looked less than forty years and had a very fat face. Ximending was a little embarrassed about the performance of Crescent Village in the dragon boat race, and he felt unhappy when he saw this guy.
But Ximending was unhappy and Juan's archery skills were worthy of recognition. He shot out three arrows, neatly and neatly. All three arrows were around the bull's eye and hit the eight-ring position. Although the distance between the arrows was different, the word "子" and "write" was obviously better than titting clothes.
The two players of Ye Gao played in turn, with their own achievements, and there were no one with the most outstanding or the one with the most embarrassing. The fourteenth player finally came to He Jiuming, who was named "Arrow God".
He Jiuming looked less than thirty years old. He looked very idol-like, with sword eyebrows, starry eyes, and clear contours. His eyes were like his father, as sharp as a knife like an eagle-eyed sword.
As soon as he appeared, he received thunderous applause from the onlookers. Heroes are not divided into classes. Even Mu Feng and his group slapped their palms a few times, and several Dong girls even shouted He Jiuming's name like a silly flower.
The longbow in He Jiuming's hand is also a composite reflex bow, but it is thicker and larger than the one in Ximending. It seems that it is difficult to pull without the power of two stones.
He patted the horse's butt with a long bow, walked forward with a fascinating smile on his face, and frequently nodded to the "Flower Fans" and walked slowly along the fence. It was not like being here for a competition, but like attending a "fan meeting".
Back at the starting point again, He Jiuming put away his "silly smile" with a solemn look on his face, revealing the style of the "Arrow God".
He slowly set his bow and arrow, looking straight at the target hundreds of meters away. Ximending thought he was going to stand still and shoot, but he saw him suddenly kicking the stirrup, sitting down and jumping out suddenly, instantly increasing speed to the extreme and rushing towards the target.
While everyone was stunned, an arrow made a sharp roar. It was shot out two hundred meters away from the target, but the arrow had not hit the target. He Jiuming knocked the horse's belly with his left foot, and suddenly turned right ninety degrees. The direction of running became parallel to the target. Almost at the same time, He Jiuming's second arrow had already been on the bowstring. When the first arrow hit the nine ring position directly above the bull's eye with a "du", the second arrow was shot out. Similarly, the second arrow was still roaring. He knocked the horse's belly lightly with his left foot again, and then turned right ninety degrees again. In just a few seconds, the horse running towards the target had become a direction away from the target. When the second arrow hit the nine ring position at the bottom left of the bull's eye, the third arrow was also turned away from the string by him.
The crane was almost bursting with three arrows in a row, and the arrows were like flying pools, and the flying stars chased the moon!
When the third arrow hit the nine ring position in the lower right corner of the bull's eye, the first arrow was still trembling because of the fierceness of the arrow.
Three arrows form a standard isosceles triangle, and the bull's eye is in the middle.
Thunderous applause sounded, and whether it was inside or outside the court, whether it was the Gao family or the Ye family, he received the warmest applause for He Jiuming's superb archery skills.
When the third arrow was shot out, He Jiuming didn't look back at the result. He pressed the saddle with one hand and stood up immediately, posing in an extremely cool shape: Golden Rooster**!
When I sat down, I obviously cooperated with He Jiuming to recite silently. I understood the owner's wishes very well. I immediately slowed down and circled around the field for another time.
Ximending appeared behind He Jiuming. Although he admired his archery skills, he seemed to have won the championship and frowned secretly when he saw that he was not too slow to show off his charm.
Finally, even He Changming, the old man who had been He Jiuming, could not bear it anymore and announced that He Wei from Mawei Village would appear.
Ximending appeared and ran away directly. When the horse speed stabilized, his first arrow shot out with a "whoosh".
When Ximending was "testing the arrow", I found a little feeling, but it was standing still and shooting. Now I was shooting arrows in high-speed movements. The feeling I found was useless. With a "stern" sound, the arrow stabbed less than one centimeter from the edge of the target, almost leaving the target. However, the power was quite large, and the arrow penetrated deeply into the target and almost penetrated.
Of course, people look at the position of the arrow, but not the size of your strength. At this performance, the onlookers suddenly burst into laughter with a "boom" and full of mockery. Even the contestants of the Ye family felt their faces were dull and they were embarrassed to face the villagers. However, He Jiuming looked at Ximending, which was racing on his horse without moving, and was obviously surprised that Ximending could shoot such a powerful force with the bow in his hand.
Ximending saw this result clearly and was ashamed. Although he was here to play supporting roles, he couldn't be too embarrassing. Isn't this making the Ye family ugly?
However, when the first arrow was shot, Ximending quickly found the feel of shooting archery in the movement. After taking a look at the position of the first arrow, he drew two arrows in one go, held the bow with his left hand and picked the arrow with his right hand. He raised his hand and put on the bowstring at the same time like a flowing cloud and water.
Many sharp-eyed people saw it and their eyes were wide open in surprise. What did he want to do? Just by your kid's archery technique, you dare to use side shots and reshoots to make continuous shots? Do you think you are He Jiuming?
He Changming narrowed his eyes and looked at Ximending, sneered and said to himself: "I don't know the height..."
However, before he finished speaking, he headed straight towards Ximending, and stood up a hundred meters away from the target. He couldn't control the horse's direction, so he could control himself. However, when Ximending stood on the back of a running horse, holding a long bow like a full moon, he turned sideways, and then turned sideways. Everyone was stunned by his archery posture of such a difficult archery posture. When his wide mouth could almost swallow his fist, two crisp sounds of "tuk tuk" were heard in his ears.
Looking up, there was no shadow of the arrow on the target, but two holes appeared in the standard "special" shape position formed with the first arrow, which seemed to have been measured by a ruler, and was less than one centimeter from the edge of the target.
Two arrows actually pierced through the target!
