The distance of twenty paces, this is the distance set by Li Zhi for them, and it was also decided after consulting the opinions of the ministers. After all, on the battlefield, especially on the grassland, the effective shooting distance of bows and longbows is not always very far.

Blacktooth Changzhi can shoot three arrows at once, and the accuracy can also be extremely accurate, so the rule is that Blacktooth Changzhi can pull the bow and arrow twice, six side-by-side stakes, and see who can shoot the most arrows into the stake in the shortest time.

Li Hong smiled and walked down the steps, there were already two more small bows and crossbows in his hands, and the ministers looked at the small bows and crossbows in their hands, and couldn't help but wonder if the distance of twenty steps was a little far for the small bow and crossbow in the prince's hand.

But look at the prince's confident and calm face, at this time, even if everyone has doubts in their hearts, they don't dare to bring it up, so as not to be slapped in the face by the prince when they get it, besides, among the ministers, many people have been slapped in the face by the prince, and the lesson is very profound.

The three arrows are placed in a row, on the wide small bow and crossbow, which is very easy to carry, and with a light release and a buckle, the three small crossbow arrows are put into the arrow slot, light and fast.

Li Hong stood side by side with a well-wound bow and crossbow in one hand, looked at him and said lightly: "Tell me when you're ready, I'll shout one, two, three, and then we will shoot at the stake at the same time." ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince." Hei Zhi Changzhi said respectfully, the three arrows in his hand were also on the bowstring, and in the quiver on his back, no more, no less, they were the three arrows that were easy to handle.

Li Hong looked at the black tooth Changzhi and smiled even more happily.

But the black tooth Changzhi has an inexplicable coolness, and he always feels that something is wrong.

So, he heard someone's confirmation: "Our game is dominated by whose arrow hits the stake, and you understand?" ”

Hei Tooth Changzhi pondered it carefully, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the prince's words, nodded again, and also confirmed: "If the minister shoots His Royal Highness the prince, the minister wins." If the minister shoots fewer arrows at the stake than His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister loses. ”

"Yes, I didn't learn my Datang Chinese along the way, or did I learn it in Baekje?"

Li Hong turned on the chatter mode, and Li Zhi on the high platform involuntarily raised his hand, only to find that the person who wanted to shoot was no longer around, so he had to reluctantly pat the railing.

"Yes, the minister learned Chinese when he was in Baekje." Blacktooth replied respectfully.

"Are you ready?"

"I'm ready." Kuroki replied as he drew the three-stone longbow as a full moon, ready to shoot at any moment.

Li Hong also became serious, looked at the wooden stake not far away, slowly raised the bow and crossbow in both hands, and then shouted in a deep voice: "1, 2, 3......." ”

The sound of arrows fell, and the three long arrows of the black tooth Changzhi shot quickly towards the stake, and the small arrow in Li Hong's hand was also not slow, like a meteor catching the moon, and it surpassed the arrow of the black tooth Changzhi in half the way.

Oh ......, six arrows were nailed to the stake one after another, it seems that the strength of the six arrows is not small, each of them is into the wood three points, which makes everyone can't help but look at the small bow and crossbow in the prince's hand.

Next is the main event, I saw that the black tooth Changzhi put his hand into the quiver as soon as the arrow was fired, and the three arrows were immediately put on the bowstring.

But the bow and crossbow in Li Hong's hand was hidden, as if he was waiting for Black Tooth Changzhi, and at this moment, Black Tooth Changzhi had no time to pay attention to why the prince, who was two breaths faster than him, didn't shoot out first.

But when he let go of the tail of the arrow in his hand and the arrow went off the string, he found that the bow and crossbow in the prince's hand suddenly shot an arrow, and the arrow was not aimed at the stake, but at his own arrow.

With a ding, one of the arrows fired by the prince hit his own arrow, and the prince prevented himself from shooting more at the stake. But in this way, isn't it still the same as yourself, with only five hits?

All the courtiers and Li Zhi were stunned, although such a tactic has a desirable way, but under the same arrow, why did the prince do this?

Li Hong also had a serious expression, and after seeing that only one arrow was missed, he immediately sent out a second arrow. He didn't expect that the dead stick of Blacktooth Changzhi actually predicted in advance that he might intercept his arrows, and in an instant, the two arrows shot by Blacktooth Changzhi were actually aimed at the same stake.

This is also why Li Hongfei quickly fired the second arrow, the body of the arrow was short, and the speed was faster than the long arrow of the black tooth Changzhi, and finally, the second arrow stopped the two arrows from shooting at the stake before the black tooth Changzhi shot at the stake.

Dangdang, both arrows were out of direction, and Li Hong pulled the fire again, and the third arrow hit the stake steadily.

Four to three, the prince won against the black tooth Changzhi.

Although it is only a few breaths, the whole process is gripping and thrilling.

Just after Li Hong's arrow hit the stake, everyone felt that the heart they were carrying could finally be put back in their stomachs.

In this short period of time, the two fought wits and courage, from the beginning of the verbal confrontation to the final hand-to-hand encounter, all of which simulated the rapidly changing battle situation on the battlefield through a small archery competition.

Especially the heart-to-heart confrontation between the two, between the plain words, but full of undercurrents and psychological battles, through the questioning just now, to the end of the two in archery, the tactical arrangement used by each other, as well as the first and second hand, all made the ministers understand the military, and nodded secretly.

During the whole process, the black tooth is often the defender, and it also represents the respect for the prince.

And Li Hong is the attacking side, the last three arrows of the sharp edge, as well as the three arrows of the black tooth Changzhi that are incomprehensible, and finally shoot at a wooden stake, all reflect the transition between attack and defense and the rapid change of the situation.

Looking at the satisfactory result, Li Hong chuckled and said to the black tooth Changzhi: "The world's martial arts are only fast and unbreakable." The first strike can control the enemy, but the second strike can control the enemy. What else do you see? ”

Hei Tooth Changzhi bowed deeply and saluted, and said in a stiff Chinese dialect: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise, and the heart of the minister is convinced." It is indeed the world's martial arts, only fast and unbreakable, thank Your Highness for your teachings today, it's just ...... I don't know what His Highness else to say, but the minister didn't see it. ”

Li Hong handed the bow and crossbow in his hand to the curious minister next to him, this thing, even if it is given to them for a year, I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to imitate it, the structure may be possible, but the requirements of the steel material, they are afraid that they will not be able to make it for ten years, even Taiyi City, can also make such two.

It was sent yesterday with the extremely lethal bow and crossbow.

"Another point is that the best defense is offense, which is also the reason why my Datang never built even an inch of the Great Wall, my Datang's iron cavalry can walk all over the rivers and mountains, can break through any city, dare to offend my Datang, will be trampled by my Datang iron hooves! Therefore, what my Datang has always pursued is that the best defense is a ruthless, cold, iron-blooded attack! Li Hong's face was iron-blooded and domineering, and his small figure suddenly became a little taller in the eyes of Black Tooth Chang.

But! All the courtiers, including his father on the high platform, all had a confused expression: "Why don't I know, this has always been my Tang Dynasty's foreign policy!" ”

Li Zhi was stunned and leaned on the railing, looking confused: Little rabbit cub, when did your father and I implement such a national policy? It's still iron-blooded, cold, ruthless, and ruthless, I beat you first!

But when everyone thought about it in reverse, they also knew that the prince was relying on his father, teaching the generals, and using the domineering spirit honed by the iron and blood of the Tang Dynasty over the years, so that Heizhi Changzhi could not resist at all, and it was also a tone for Heizhi Changzhi's future use of soldiers.

Li Zhi was already interested in Langshan at this time, and he was no longer interested in the black tooth Changzhi, so he leaned on the railing and said lightly: "The military department is on a mission, okay, let's go down." ”

The courtiers saluted, and the black tooth Changzhi was also greatly relieved in his heart, and there were no officials in the Tang Dynasty who embarrassed or ridiculed themselves, which made him feel unprecedentedly relaxed, and the worries along the way also came to naught at the moment, as for how the Tang Emperor would reward himself at that time, I am afraid it will depend on the military merits.

Li Hong patted the arm of the black-toothed Changzhi with great interest, and said with a smile: "Yes, it is indeed as General Liu Renyuan said, there is courage and resourcefulness ......." ”

Before Li Hong finished speaking, he was pulled over by Liu Zhengli, the secretary of Zongzheng Temple, who had been waiting to find him: "Your Highness, the minister has something to look for you, so don't hide from the minister anymore, okay?" ”

Liu Zhengli looked anxious, arched his hand at the black tooth Changzhi to apologize, and hurriedly pulled Li Hong to a place where no one was.

"What's wrong? The dignified Zongzheng Siqing, why is he in a hurry, his butt is on fire? Li Hong looked at Liu Zhengli's ass with a gesture.

"Your Royal Highness, don't make fun of the ministers, a few days ago, Your Majesty, the Queen and your visit to the Temple of Mercy and Grace, the Buddha statue was faked, Your Majesty ordered the ministers to investigate with you thoroughly, and now the ministers have basically figured it out, so I hope to hear your opinions." Liu Zhengli said with a wry smile.

Hearing Liu Zhengli's words, Li Hong hurriedly broke free of his arm, jumped to the side with a vigilant face, and looked at Liu Zhengli like a ghost, as if Liu Zhengli's hand had a plague and could not be touched.

"Just check it, I don't have any opinion. My father said that the main thing is that you Zongzheng Temple investigates, and since you find out, go and report it. Oh, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is lying on the railing, go quickly. Li Hong glanced at Li Zhi and encouraged Liu Zhengli to go quickly, so he didn't want to touch his head.

When my father still thinks of his trip to Ci'en Temple, he still can't help but itch his hands, who knows if it's because he ruined his Buddha relationship, and he still wants to beat himself in his heart.

He is about to go to Taiyi City, so he won't run over to find trouble at this time because of the matter of Ci'en Temple.

But who is Liu Zhengli? One of the Nine Temples, he has lived for more than 40 years, and he is not young anymore, how can he not know what the prince is doing?

He looked for the prince, but he didn't want to touch His Majesty's moldy head in person, but he didn't expect the prince to be so slippery, like a loach, and he picked himself clean in one or two sentences.
