Chapter 318: The Blue-faced Beast Orders Its Brigade
Yang Zhi was an officer, and when he received the order, he saw through their methods and did not take him seriously at all. He just strode over and came to the court with Zhou Jin's servant. The two made a life-and-death decision. Like this, he threw his pen and returned to the front of the formation.
At this time, the supervisor Li Cheng issued an order, asking the two heroes to each wear an arrow shield to protect themselves. They each received an arrow shield, tied it on their arms, got on their horses, and each arrived at the chess gate. Then, Yang Zhi reined up his horse, looked in the direction of Zhou Jin and said with a loud voice like thunder: "You shoot me three arrows first, and the three arrows pass by. If they miss, I will return three more arrows to you."
When Zhou Jin heard this, no one else had ever taken such an arrogant tone seriously. The arrogance in it was naturally audible to everyone present, but the contempt hidden in it was even more self-evident. Zhou Jin was so shameless. He was so angry that he bit his lips tightly, wishing that he could shoot Yang Zhi through a transparent hole right away. Although Zhou Jin was a second-in-command, he did not think of this sentence. Not only Yang Zhiyi was brave, but he was an expert. , and more importantly, it can confuse the enemy's mind under this anger. What is the most important thing in archery? Isn't it the four words "peace of mind"? However, when Zhou Jin was so angry by Yang Zhi, he couldn't help but think of it. Yang Zhi had just used the gun to make himself miserable, but now he felt more and more anxious, and the hands holding the bow and arrows could not help but tremble slightly.
At this time, the general waved the green flag on the platform, and in an instant Yang Zhi turned around, patted his horse, and headed south.
Zhou Jin watched Yang Zhi go, then he clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and whipped it a few more times before riding the horse. Zhou Jin put the reins on the saddle, held the bow in his left hand, and put an arrow in his right hand, pulling it full The whole ground looked at Yang Zhihou with a chill in his heart and he shot an arrow.
At this moment, Yang Zhi, who was galloping ahead, heard the sound of the bowstring behind him. He flashed out of the ground, hid himself in the stirrup on the horse's side, and with a whoosh, the arrow passed through the saddle where Yang Zhi was just now, and shot into the air.
When Zhou Jin saw that he couldn't hit an arrow, he became even more panicked. He rushed to the pot to get a second arrow and put it on the bowstring. Yang Zhi, who was staring at him, was closer. There was a buzzing sound on the string and he looked behind him. Another arrow shot into my heart.
Yang Zhi heard the second arrow coming, but he could no longer hide in the stirrup. The arrow came as fast as the wind. Yang Zhi dared to take the bow in his hand and used the long bow as a spear. , used the tip of the bow to shoot a shot of gun flowers in the back of the heart, and then knocked the arrow down to the grass with a clanking clang.
When Zhou Jin saw that Yang Zhi was quite clever, he couldn't shoot two arrows in a row, and he became more and more panicked. Yang Zhi's horse had already run to the end of the training field, and he saw Yang Zhi's horse hurriedly pulling the horse away. , the horse then turned around and looked back towards the hall. At that moment, Zhou Jin was not in Yang Zhi's indifferent mood. Zhou Jin's internal organs had been burnt by this fire for a long time. He had no choice but to finish the lap. He also reined up his horse, drove the horse back, and took the opportunity to catch up. The two of them galloped to the green grassland, eight horseshoes turned over, and they clicked like cymbals. The sound filled the entire school grounds, and all the troops present held their breaths, thousands of pairs of eyes falling on the two of them.
Under the attention of thousands of people, Zhou Jin took out the third arrow and looked at the bowstring. He buckled it all the way, and with all his strength, he looked at Yang Zhihou and let out a loud shout in his heart. He shot the last arrow, knowing that this was his last chance. If he missed the shot, he would probably save his life, but he would also lose all the face of this team of cards.
At this moment, Yang Zhi heard the sound of the bowstring again, and immediately turned around. He saw the direction of the arrow at a glance, stretched out his arms on the saddle, and just flicked the arrow with the flow, and Yang Zhichuo was stuck in it. He took Zhou Jin's arrow into his hand, then ignored Zhou Jin's angry face, and galloped to the front of the martial arts hall, and threw Zhou Jin's arrow on the ground in full view of everyone.
At this time, an adjutant came forward quickly, picked up the arrow feather, and showed it to Liang Zhongshu. It turned out to be Zhou Jin's arrow feather. Liang Zhongshu was overjoyed when he saw it. He thought that he could never be wrong about people, so, He immediately gave an order, asking Yang Zhi to shoot three arrows at Zhou Jin. At this time, the green flag was waved on the general platform again. Zhou Jin looked at it and couldn't control himself with anger, but he had no choice but to sigh deeply. After taking a breath, he put down his bow and arrows, took the defensive card in his hand, patted his horse and looked south.
Yang Zhi immediately watched the fighting horse follow the path he had just taken, then he straightened his waist forward, patted his feet slightly, and the horse started to chase forward.
Yang Zhi watched the distance between the two getting closer, with a slightly weird smile at the moment. He first pulled the bow weakly, and then let go when it was full. He only heard the sound of the bow, but there was no arrow feather. on top.
Zhou Jin heard the sound of a bowstring behind his horse and quickly turned around. Then he raised the arrow shield to greet him, but he didn't want to miss it early. At that moment, he patted the horse and drove away, while Zhou Jin secretly thought in his heart. "It turns out that the guy only knows how to use a spear but not an arrow. When his second arrow was false, I suddenly got into trouble and shouted loudly, scaring the guy away. I won," Zhou said. Jin had planned it in his mind, and felt so proud of the little road. Not only was he more at ease than before, but he had simply despised Yang Zhi. He seemed to have no worries at all. At this moment, Zhou Jin's horse was about the same. Arriving at the south end of the training ground early, the horse turned to the direction of the martial arts hall without being controlled by Zhou Jin.
In the round with Fang Cai, most of the two horses came to an understanding. Yang Zhi's horse saw Zhou Jin's horse running back, and the horse, not to be outdone, immediately turned around to chase.
At this moment, Yang Zhi took advantage of the horse's speed as fast as the wind to pull out an arrow from the pot, and gently placed it on the bow string. When he was about to draw the bow, a thought suddenly passed through his heart, and he thought: "Shooting that guy in the heart will definitely hurt his life. If one of his subordinates is chosen to be close to the Sa family to escort the birth date, there is a layer of hatred. I'm afraid there will be many inconveniences on the way. The moment of pleasure will ruin the big thing, let alone talk about it. When I come back, even though the guy said something rude, there is no grievance between me and him. The Sa family can only shoot him without causing any fatal injuries." So, Yang Zhi thought about it, and he used his left hand as if he were holding a mountain, his right hand as if he was wrapping a baby, and he opened his bow as if he were holding a baby. The moon was full, but the arrow was like a shooting star. As soon as he heard the sound of the bowstring, Zhou Jin turned around and shouted at Yang Zhi. However, it was too late, and the arrow hit Zhou Jin's left shoulder. Zhou Jin He was caught off guard and fell off his horse. His loud shout just now not only failed to shock Yang Zhi, but actually made Yang Zhi's arrow even more powerful.
The empty horse, without the burden on its back, ran straight through the martial arts hall and went to the back of the hall. The soldiers also looked at it with fear and rushed forward to save Zhou Jin. .
Liang Zhongshu was overjoyed when he saw this, and asked the Military and Political Secretary to come forward and submit the document, and immediately asked Yang Zhi to replace Zhou Jin's duties.
Yang Zhi looked unmoved. After getting off his horse, he walked to the hall step by step to pay his respects to the prime minister.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a person came up from the left side of the stairs. Yang Zhi stopped him halfway and shouted: "Don't thank me for your post. If you have the skills, I will give you a try."
When Yang Zhi heard the words, he followed the sound and looked towards the "Cheng Yaojin who came out halfway". He saw that this guy was more than seven feet long, with a round face and big ears, wide lips and a square mouth, and a beard on his cheek. He was majestic and had a majestic appearance. It was grand until Liang Zhongshu saluted with both fists in front of him, said "O" and said: "Zhou Jin is not fully recovered from his illness and is not energetic, so he lost to Yang Zhi by mistake. The young general is not talented. I would like to compete with Yang Zhi in martial arts. If so, The young general can give Yang Zhi half the price. He can take over Zhou Jin's official position and teach Yang Zhi to serve as the young general." After saying this, the guy paused and chewed on every word of the next words. It was very heavy, as if it had been squeezed out from between the teeth: "I will not complain even if I die," Liang Zhongshu looked down after hearing this. The person asking for a fight was none other than Suo Chao, the official soldier of the Daming Prefecture's Left Behind Department.
Because this person has a very impatient temper and puts a pinch of salt into the fire. Whenever there is a battle on the battlefield, he must be the first to charge. For this reason, he earned a name in the army, and everyone called him a vanguard.
When Li Cheng heard Suo Chao stand up and speak, he immediately got off the general platform and reported to Liang Zhongshu in front of the hall: "Your Majesty, since this Yang Zhi is the envoy of the palace, he must be good at martial arts. That pair of soldiers Zhou Jin Naturally, he is not an opponent. This time, it is time to compete with Suo Zhengpai in martial arts. We will see who is good and who is bad."
After hearing this, Liang Zhongshu thought to himself: "I was thinking about promoting Yang Zhi, but I forgot that the generals will not surrender. It is better to take this opportunity and wait for him to defeat Suo Chao. These military commanders must have nothing else to say. But at that time, I think these generals will have nothing to say about how I will promote Yang Zhi."
So Liang Zhongshu immediately called Yang Zhi to the hall and asked: "Yang Zhi, what do you think of your martial arts competition with Suo Chao?"
Yang Zhi clasped his fists with both hands and said respectfully: "The Prime Minister's order, I dare not disobey it."
Liang Zhongshu nodded, feeling very satisfied, and said: "In that case, go to the back of the hall and change your clothes, so that you are properly dressed, and then come and fight Suo Chao." Immediately, he taught Jia Zhangku and the accompanying officials to get the appropriate weapons and give them to him. Looking like this, he shouted again: "Come here, please take my horse and lend it to Yang Zhi to ride on." Liang Zhongshu said this, looked at Yang Zhi and whispered: "Be careful, don't wait and see."
Yang Zhi thanked Liang Zhongshu and went to the martial arts hall to organize his equipment.
As soon as Yang Zhi left, Liang Zhongshu said to Suo Chao: "Suo Chao, this competition is different from others. Zhou Jin is your apprentice. He has already lost before. If you make any mistakes again, you should really teach him how to use the famous name." The officers of the government have taken it lightly. Here, I have a war horse that has been used on the battlefield and a fine mantle, which I will lend to you. Be careful, as the suspension of training will destroy the spirit of our army."
Suo Chao kowtowed in thanks and accepted the order to go to the back of the hall to take care of things.
When Liang Zhongshu saw that the two of them had gone to prepare, he immediately stood up and walked out of the steps. The waiter who was accompanying him quickly moved the silver chair until it was lowered next to the railing of the platform.
Liang Zhongshu sat down here, leaving only two lines of entourage waiting on the left and right. He called the umbrella man to open the silver gourd-topped dark brown umbrella with three eaves and covered it behind Liang Zhongshu. Like all the officers and soldiers, he waited for the next step. A most thrilling competition,
