Chapter 492: Military Parade (7)

The two battled each other for more than two dozen rounds, and although each hit the other a few times, none of them were fatal parts, so it was still a dead end. Later, the two simply stopped charging repeatedly, but rode their horses and circled in place, swinging their spears at each other, or resisting the opponent's attack.

The two war horses circled and ran in place, the hooves of the horses rose and fell, the dust was flying, and the two spears were like two poison guns, stabbing left and right, picking up and down, and the sound of guns clashing was also endless.

The two war horses were like lap grinding, turning around in place for more than a dozen times, only to see Ji Kang stabbing at Guo Chen with a shot, and Guo Chen dodged sideways, Ji Kang's spear stabbed under Guo Chen's left flank, and Guo Chen's left hand let go of his gun, clamped Ji Kang's spear with his arm, and grabbed the opponent's gun.

Seeing that his spear was caught by the other party, Ji Kang was not only taken aback, but hurriedly retracted it with both hands. Because Guo Chen grabbed it with one hand, he was pulled by the other party and almost let go. Guo Chen hurriedly threw away his spear, and also grabbed Ji Kang's spear with both hands, and the two fought like this.

The hooves of the two horses staggered in place, and from time to time they made a strained cry, and the two knights did not give in at this time, and each used all the strength of his life, either pulling or pushing, trying to snatch the spear or shoot the other off the horse.

And the audience was also infected by this fierce atmosphere, clapping desperately to cheer for both sides, and the atmosphere was far more than the last time.

At that moment, only a "click" was heard, and the spear was dismantled from it, and both knights could not sit in the saddle and fell from their horses. Although it caused a burst of laughter from the audience, there was also a burst of warm applause, which was also an affirmation of the two people's expressions. In fact, the psychology of the audience is very simple, as long as they really work hard, they can be affirmed.

Although Ji Kang and Guo Chen fell off the horse, they were not injured, they each got up from the ground, but they were a little unconvinced, although according to the rules, falling off the horse is a loss, but now the two of them fall off the horse at the same time, how should this be calculated? Therefore, the two are also hesitating whether to get on the horse and fight again.

But at this time, the horn sounded, announcing the end of the competition, and someone came to lead the two to the high platform to see the plateau.

After seeing the salute, Gao Yuan said: "The two of you are very good, in my opinion, this battle will end in a draw, and the two of you are tied for the first place in the cavalry battle, you can see it well." ”

The two glanced at each other, although they were still a little unconvinced, but Gao Yuan spoke, and the two did not dare to disobey, so they saluted Gao Yuan and said, "Just like the words of the lord." ”

Gao Yuan smiled: "This competition is just a small show, even if you don't win or lose, you don't have to worry about it, in the future, you will see how the two of you make contributions on the battlefield, and I want to recruit both of you into the Thirty-six Horsemen of the Tempest, are you willing?" ”

The two glanced at each other again, this time there was no confrontation or resentment, but full of excitement, because it was a high honor to be able to enter the Thirty-six Horses of the Rapid Wind, so the resentment of the two disappeared, and they hurriedly thanked the plateau.

Later, Gao Yuan rewarded the two of them, in addition to the gold they should be rewarded, Ji Kang and Guo Chen were also given a set of armor each. The other eight men in the individual cavalry were also rewarded, and after everyone thanked the plateau, they all stepped down from the high platform and took their seats on the stands on both sides of the high platform to watch the rest of the race.

The next thing to do is a personal archery competition, the first is to shoot at a foot, the method of the test is to circle a circle with a diameter of about 70 steps in the middle of the field, and set up a high platform with a length, width and height of two zhang in the center of the circle, and send eight soldiers to stand under the high platform, each holding an arrow stack in his hand, drooping to the bottom of the platform, ranging from five feet to eight feet from the ground, and the soldiers are not standing still on the wooden platform, but running around the wooden platform, so that even if the participating shooters can't shoot the arrow stacks, Nor will they miss a soldier with a battlement.

The ten archers who participated in the competition stood outside the circle, they could choose the location of the archery, they could not move in place, they could also change the position at will, each person brought thirty arrows, in the time of twelve war drums, shoot arrows at will, and the shooting could not be completed for invalidation, and finally see who shot the arrow stack more, and from the number of stacks is the same, it will compete for the number of arrow stacks hearts, if there is the same, compete for the first, for the extra match, not to compete for the first, then it is calculated in a tie.

Although the distance of the arrow is not far, only about 30 steps, it is a moving target, not a stationary, so the difficulty is actually greater. However, this is also close to actual combat, because on the battlefield, the enemy will not stand still and use you as a target.

When Gao Yuan met Ji Kang and Guo Chen, the soldiers had already set up a venue for the archery competition in the field, and the ten archers who participated in the infantry shooting competition also stood outside the circle and put their arrows on the bowstring, ready to prepare. On the high platform, eight soldiers with arrow stacks were also in place, but the arrow stacks were not put down.

The drums beat suddenly, and the eight stacks of arrows were lowered almost simultaneously, and the soldiers with the stacks of arrows roamed the high platform, while the archers also pulled their bowstrings, aimed at their targets, and shot their arrows.

For a while, the sound of drums was like popping beans, the bowstring sounded, and the sound of arrows breaking through the air was endless, and the arrows were shot at the arrow stacks one by one, some of them were shot, and some of them were shot directly on the side wall of the high platform.

Although the archery competition is not as fierce as the first two, but because of the large number of people, it is also more lively, the people in the stands are also very energetic, although the cheers are not as loud and dense as the first two, but they have been continuous, of course, the right cheers are also mixed with a lot of boos, the scene is very lively.

After the twelve drums were beaten, all the archers stopped shooting, and seven of the ten archers had shot all the arrows, and the other three had less than five arrows left. About half of the arrows hit the stacks.

After statistics, Shi Chang Tahai from the Fan Yong Army hit the target with 21 arrows, of which six shot the red heart with outstanding results, and won the first place, Sun Yu, the chief of the Yongjie Army from the Yunzhong Legion, won the second place with 18 arrows and 5 red hearts, and Xu Zhong of the Weining Army of the Wu'an Legion ranked third with 16 arrows and 5 red hearts.

At the end of the competition, all ten shooters came to the high platform to receive the reward of the plateau. The field has not changed, and there will be a personal riding and archery competition soon.

The field of the mounted archery competition and the rifle archery competition is the same, but the rules have changed significantly, not everyone shoots together, but one by one, and each archer is required to run three laps in a circle on horseback within the specified time, in these three laps you can shoot arrows at will, there is no limit to how many you shoot, and finally how many are counted in the middle of the stack. However, if you do not complete the three laps within the specified time, the result will be invalid.

It can be said that the riding and archery competition is more difficult than the infantry shooting competition, because not only the arrow stacks are moving, but also the archers are running on war horses, and there is a strict time limit, which does not allow horses to jog steadily. But this is also in line with actual combat, riding an archer is to have the ability to shoot arrows on the back of a fast-running war horse.

In the last competition, although only two people participated in the Fan Yongjun, they still won the first place with a very obvious advantage, and among the ten people who participated, the Fan Yongjun accounted for four seats, so it was also very favorable, and some people even thought that the Fan Yongjun would take the top three or even the top four.

The order of the appearance is determined by drawing lots, and the first to appear is the Agutal of the Fan Yong Army, after the drum sounds, Agutal broke the horse and rushed out, leading the bow and shooting an arrow, which was in the middle of an arrow stack, which also attracted a burst of applause from the audience.

Before the sound of the shouting had fallen, Agutal had already shot arrow after arrow with the galloping horse, and each time he drew four arrows from the quiver, sandwiched between his five fingers, and shot them in succession, which would save a lot of time.

After a lap, Agutal had shot eight arrows, and after making sure that there was no timeout, Agutal continued to ride his horse, and the arrows were shot like meteors.

By the end of the three laps, Agutal had shot 22 arrows, hit 12 arrows, and hit 2 of them.

However, not everyone had the same marksmanship as Agutal, and the second shooter only hit ten arrows and one hit a heart, but the result was completely canceled due to overtime.

The third shooter who came out next also overtime and was canceled from the score, and the seven shooters who came out behind did not dare to be careless, if the result was canceled because of overtime, it would be too worthless. Therefore, they also subconsciously urged the war horses to run faster.

The shooters appeared one after another, and the audience also gave their table a warm applause, and after all the people came out to shoot arrows, after statistics, Agutal and Dakehan from the Fan Yong Army had the same results, tied for the first place, and Lin Yuan, the chief of the Wei Cavalry Army from the Shanggu Legion, won the third place with ten arrows and one hit the red heart, which also broke the long break of the Fan Yong Army in this project.

However, according to the rules of the archery competition, there is a tie for the first place, and it is necessary to conduct an extra match, which is also the first extra match for this military parade, and the rules of the extra game are also the first time that there is an extra game in this military parade.

Of course, when such a situation occurs, the audience is naturally happy, because there is another excitement to watch.

Therefore, Agutal and Dakohan had another play-off, perhaps due to the pressure, both of them were a little out of shape, each of them only hit ten arrows, but Agutal had two arrows to hit the heart, while Dakohan only had one arrow, so he could only settle for second.
