The results of the first round of the competition came out quickly, and the top two were the riders who had been ringing before, Chen Junhou and Lu Junhou ranked third and fourth, and Deng Ai and Shi Bao ranked 15th and 16th, and were lucky enough to squeeze into the second round of the competition.

The pre-race favorites Chen Dubo and Zhang Dubo were both eliminated, and they missed the second round of the competition along with the other two riders.

Chen Dubo was only slightly injured, but Zhang Dubo was not so lucky, he broke a leg, and I am afraid that he will have to raise it for a few months before it is possible to step on the horse's back again.

It doesn't matter who ranks first in this round, the most important thing is who is eliminated, although Shi Bao and Deng Ai only advanced with the last two and won quite thrillingly, they finally passed the test, which also made Cao Liang breathe a long sigh.

Although the process is thrilling, the result is finally good, as long as you enter the next round, it is considered complete.

Although Chen Junhou and Lu Junhou won the game, but their faces were pale, it was obvious that the result of the game made them very disappointed, originally in their plan, the sixteen places for the promotion were completely occupied by the people of their Xiao Cavalry Battalion, but they did not expect that at the last moment, they were surpassed by these two outsiders and snatched the last two precious seats, it seems that only in the next second round of the competition, and then the winner will be decided.

The second round is mounted archery, which is also one of the basic skills of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion.

Shooting an arrow on the back of a galloping horse can be imagined. Since there were no saddles and stirrups, riders had to hold on tightly to the reins or mane with one or both hands to maintain their balance, so the cavalry was mostly armed with one-handed ring-headed knives, while bows and arrows were required with both hands.

Therefore, cavalry archery has always been a skill possessed by a few of the best cavalrymen, and this time the selection of other divisions of Sima, cavalry archery was listed as the second content of the competition, the purpose is to select elite people.

After Cao Liang learned about the competition project, he suddenly felt a headache, the first horse race, Deng Ai Shibao is also a person who has ridden a horse, although the riding skills may not be as superb as the riders, but the value is that they work hard, and finally passed the test without danger.

But the second item of riding and archery is really difficult, although it is said that the six arts of the gentleman will be ridden and archery in it, but this riding and archery is separate, horse riding and archery, those are two completely different items.

Originally, even ordinary soldiers in the cavalry battalion were not capable of shooting arrows on horseback, and those who could really ride and shoot on horses were the elite of the cavalry.

The second item of cavalry archery is ten arrows for each rider, and there is a target fifty paces away, and there is a big red heart in the middle of the target, and only the one who shoots the red heart can score this arrow, and the final result is the winner with the most red hearts.

Eight of the sixteen riders advanced to the final and the remaining eight were eliminated.

Compared with the elimination rate in the first round, the number of eliminations in this round accounts for half, and the competition is naturally far more fierce than in the first round.

Cao Liang didn't have a chance to step forward and tell them, because the game was about to start.

Chen Junhou, who appeared first, in the cheers of everyone, he walked slowly, took his bow and arrows, and the arrows flew towards the arrow target like meteors, hitting the red heart impartially.

Immediately, the audience was thunderous with joy, obviously cheering for Chen Junhou's excellent arrow.

Cao Liang noticed that Chen Junhou's war horse was steady, but it was only slow, and he didn't even trot all the way, this way of riding and archery was naturally much slower than archery in high-speed galloping.

But this way of riding and shooting, it's not that Cao Liang thinks he can easily pass the level, but at least the difficulty is less than high-speed riding and shooting, even if Shi Bud and Deng Ai have never practiced riding and shooting, they can compete with other opponents.

The reason why this is the case is because the high-speed riding race is too difficult, and it is often one out of ten, and when the time comes, more than a dozen riders will shoot all ten arrows off target, this kind of achievement, I'm afraid even Cao Yan will have no shame.

Therefore, Cao Yan can only settle for the second best thing and choose to ride and shoot slowly, at least to ensure that the results are outstanding, and only the top eight outstanding riders will be eligible to enter the next round.

Sixteen riders take turns to take one arrow at a time, for a total of ten rounds, and the winner is the one who shoots more hearts.

After Chen Junhou finished shooting, the riders rushed in and shot an arrow each.

Since it is a target and no score, as long as the person who shoots the heart can score, so in the second round of the competition, as long as the heart is shot, there is no need to consider the specific position of the arrow.

However, Shi Bao and Deng Ai's first arrows both missed, not only did they not hit the red heart, but they didn't even hit the target, and they shot directly at a three-non-stick.

Such inferior archery skills immediately caused people to burst into laughter, and ridicule came one after another.

Shi Bud and Deng Ai both looked at each other, originally they were also good archers, but archery on horseback was indeed the first time in their lives, although there were nine arrows in the back, but the impact of the first arrow was very great, Shi Bud and Deng Ai could not guarantee that the arrows behind could be shot.

The first round ended quickly, with a total of sixteen arrows fired, eight of which were in perfect proportion with the qualifiers.

Archery on horseback still has to be completed on the move, the difficulty can be imagined, even if it is a rider who trains often, it may not be able to get familiar with the environment so quickly, so although Shi Bao and Deng Ai's performance is not good, it does not necessarily mean that they will be eliminated.

In fact, the real battle has not yet begun, Shi Bao and Deng Ai encouraged each other and vowed to rush through this hurdle.

After all, although Shi Bao and Deng Ai did not join the military, but they are people with lofty ideals, such as archery and other national skills, they naturally will not lag behind others too much, although they are not good at riding and archery, but people with flexible minds react quickly, even if they make mistakes in front, they can still adapt to the back.

In the next few rounds, Shi Bao and Deng Ai adjusted and shot better and better, Deng Ai achieved a good score of six out of seven arrows, and Shi Bao's score was a little worse, but it was also five out of seven arrows, only one arrow behind Deng Ai.

After the eight arrows were shot, Deng Ai could already rank among the front, and Shi Bao was only ranked tenth, two places behind, and still retained the hope of turning the tables.

As the game progressed, the air on the scene seemed to become solemn, who qualified to enter the next round of finals, two arrows, the answer will be revealed!
