According to the results of the draw, the first person to take the field was Wu Sen, the general under Fu's player. He was also the number one cavalry and archer general in the Eight-Character Army and was appointed as the commander. When the drum sounded, Wu Sen galloped fifty steps away and drew out
An arrow, draw the bow and aim.
Chen Qing secretly shook his head. From his aiming action, he knew that this person's realm was not high enough and he was still at the second level.
"How many copper coins does Commander Chen think he will shoot down?" Liu Ziyu asked with a smile.
"Want to see where he shoots?"
"Isn't it because you have an eye for money?"
Chen Qing shook his head, "If he shoots the money eye, he won't win more than three."
Wu Sen really shot at the money eye. He had shot three arrows in a row, but only the second arrow shot down a copper coin. The third arrow hit the coin eye, but unfortunately the rope was not broken. The fourth arrow hit the copper coin, but failed.
Money Eye, the fifth arrow shot down a copper coin.
With the sound of a drum, five arrows were shot, and only two copper coins were shot. Fu Xuan's face became very ugly. He knew very well that this achievement was basically missed by the Five Hundred Divine Arm Crossbow Army.
This god-armed crossbow army was obviously his own, but he was sent away by damn Wang Yan at the last moment, and who knows who got an advantage? In the end, he was embarrassed.
The more Fu Xuan thought about it, the more he resented it. He was so depressed that he could no longer sit down. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he got up and left quietly.
Zhang Jun squinted slightly and watched Fu Xuan go away with cold eyes.
The second person to appear was Liu Ziyu's youngest son Liu Cui. He ran all the way, drew his bow and shot quickly. He had obviously learned the lessons from Wu Sen before. The goal was no longer copper coins, but shooting ropes.
Of course, the rope cannot be a hanging rope, which is too soft to bear force, but a rope tied to the wooden frame above.
The first arrow opened the record, a rope was broken, the copper coin fell to the ground, and the surrounding soldiers burst into cheers.
Liu Ziyu smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, "This kid, isn't he stupid!"
"Not bad, my hands are very steady, I should be able to get high scores!"
Chen Qing saw it accurately. He was worthy of being from a family of famous generals. Liu Cui was very decisive in riding and shooting. He shot without hesitation without hesitation, which showed that he already had a plan in mind.
Liu Cui lived up to his father's expectations, hitting four out of five arrows, which is a very high score.
The third one was Liu Qi's general who came out and hit three out of five arrows. They also shot ropes. No one shot copper coins anymore.
The fourth and fifth are two generals, Wu Jie and Wu Zhang. One has five arrows with three hits, and the other has five arrows with four hits.
If there is a tie for first place, there will be additional rounds until the final winner is determined.
Yang Zaixing was the sixth one to appear, and he attracted cheers from everyone as soon as he appeared.
He has a white horse and iron armor, with flying tassels. He is especially handsome in appearance, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose, a tall and tall figure, and outstanding temperament.
Wu Jie couldn't help but poke his head in and asked Chen Qing, "Commander Chen, what is the origin of this general?"
"Descendants of Yang Jiye in Taiyuan!"
"It turns out to be General Yang!" Everyone suddenly realized.
Yang Zaixing shot the first arrow while running. The rope broke and the first copper coin fell to the ground.
There was thunderous applause from all around, and then Yang Zaixing shot three wolf-fang arrows in a volley of arrows. The arrows were accurate, and three copper coins fell.
At this time, everyone's interest was piqued. Seeing the effect of his last arrow, even Zhang Jun sat up straight and rubbed his beard to watch the battle.
The entire campus was silent, only the rapid hooves of the horses could be heard.
When he was about to qualify, Yang Zaixing shot the last arrow, 'Pop!' The rope broke and the fifth copper coin fell to the ground.
The school grounds suddenly cheered, and cheers and cheers resounded throughout the sky.
Zhang Jun burst into laughter, this young man is very good, with strong martial arts skills and outstanding character.
Liu Ziyu had a wry smile on his face. His son was eliminated. He sighed and said to Chen Qing: "I don't know whether I should congratulate you or be jealous of you. Your men are really hiding dragons and crouching tigers!"
Chen Qing smiled slightly and said, "Liu Dutong deserves the prize!"
Yang Zaixing hit all five arrows, and there was basically no suspense in the entire competition. In the end, Qu Duan and Guan Shigu's men both hit three of the five arrows, and Yang Zaixing won the first place.
Yang Zaixing stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, clasping his fists to salute Zhang Jun. Chen Qing smiled and said to Zhang Jun: "General Yang used to organize a rebel army to fight against the Jin Dynasty, but the effect was not very good, so he came to join a humble job and wanted to participate in the frontal and Jurchen war.
It is a pity that he is still in vain, so he is appointed deputy commander in a humble position."
Zhang Jun nodded, "Although General Yang has just joined the Song Army, his martial arts skills are indeed high and talents are rare. Therefore, I will make an exception and appoint you as the deputy commander and recommend you as Xiu Wulang."
Appointment and appointment are completely different in nature.
Chen Qing was appointed internally as deputy commander, with authority but no position, while Zhang Jun was officially appointed as deputy commander, which means he has authority and position. In addition, he was recommended as a rank officer, which can be regarded as an official position.
Yang Zaixing was overjoyed and thanked him again, "If you hold a humble position, you will be brave enough to kill the enemy and live up to the support of the Xuanfu Envoy!"
Zhang Jun took out a command arrow and handed it to Chen Qing and said with a smile: "You are lucky. The five hundred divine arm crossbow troops will be officially given to the Qinzhou Army. I will increase the number of troops accordingly."
Chen Qing also cupped his fists and saluted, "Thank you so much for your love!"
Zhang Jun then said to the generals: "Everyone, the war will officially begin tomorrow. I hope that your commanders in Wu Dutong will defeat the Jurchen army again and prevent the Jurchen cavalry from entering Sichuan!"
Zhang Jun is gone, and he will return to Sichuan next, and the military command and material allocation rights of Dashanguan will be handed over to Wu Jie.
The generals watched Zhang Jun leave, and the troops began to disperse.
Wu Jie stepped forward, patted Chen Qing on the shoulder and said with a smile: "To be honest, I really don't want to give you the 500 Divine Arm Crossbow Army."
"Why did Dutong say this?"
"You do the math for yourself, most of the soldiers following you were killed..."
Chen Qing frowned, "Wu Dutong, Fu Moshan is bound to win this army. Not one of his men has died. Why don't you give it to him?"
Wu Jie chuckled, "You are really good at talking, leaving people speechless. I was just joking with you. Sacrifice is part of the battlefield. The key is to die well."
Speaking of this, Wu Jie's face became serious, "Actually, my real idea is to give you this army so that they can play their greatest role. Commander Chen, don't let me down!"
Chen Qing nodded, "In my hands, they are definitely not decorations!"
.......
Time flies by very quickly, and in the blink of an eye it is early November, winter has begun to set in all parts of Guanzhong, and the weather is getting colder day by day.
That morning, a fifty-man Song army scout, led by Zhao Xiaoyi, inspected the situation in a forest about fifteen miles west of Jiwangpo.
Last night, the sentry in the west noticed a flickering fire in the distance. Although it only appeared for a very short time, it was still captured by the Song army sentry. Chen Qing suspected that there were enemy troops nearby to detect the sentinel, so he sent two scout teams early in the morning.
Check out the east and west sides.
Hu Yanlei, the deputy commander of the scout battalion, was in charge of the east side, and Zhao Xiaoyi personally led his troops to investigate the west side.
A few miles west of the camp is one of the largest open areas in the West Valley. The valley is more than ten miles wide and is dotted with large tracts of woods and pastures. It stretches all the way to Wang Jian Slope.
The valley was cut off, leaving only a passage less than ten miles wide. After passing Wangjianpo, the valley suddenly opened up again.
Zhao Xiaoyi raised his hand, and his soldiers reined in their horses one after another. Liu Jian, the leader, asked: "What did the general find?"
Zhao Xiaoyi pointed to the ground, "Look!"
Only then did everyone notice the four-hoof prints on the ground, which were densely packed and extended into the woods.
"What is this? It doesn't look like a war horse!"
Zhao Xiaoyi sneered, "These are the hoof prints of a war horse, but the hoofs are wrapped with cloth."
Everyone was hesitant and followed the footprints for a while. A soldier suddenly shouted: "There is a piece of cloth here!"
He turned over and dismounted, picked up a piece of mud-soaked linen cloth from the ground, with a broken rope on it, in the shape of a cloth bag. Looking forward, he saw a clear horse's hoofprint among the hoofprints.
Everyone was convinced. Although Commander Zhao was young, his mind was very sharp.
Zhao Xiaoyi raised his head and looked into the woods. His eyes seemed to see a dozen Jurchen spies lying in wait through the woods.
"Liu Dutong, you lead ten brothers to the west to intercept, while Ma Dutou leads ten brothers to stay outside to intercept. The rest of the brothers follow me!"
Zhao Xiaoyi divided his troops into three groups. He led thirty cavalrymen holding shields and short spears, made a circular arc, and outflanked them deep into the woods.
This is a birch forest. The leaves have almost fallen off, leaving only straight bare trees. War horses rustle as they walk in the forest. The soldiers hold up their shields and watch the surroundings with vigilance.
At this time, a cold arrow shot out with strong force, directly towards Zhao Xiaoyi. Zhao Xiaoyi was taken aback and hurriedly raised his shield to meet him.
Unexpectedly, the arrow was aimed at his horse, which was hit in its front leg. The horse fell down with a thump, and then more than a dozen arrows were shot at Zhao Xiaoyi.
This move was very cleverly coordinated, locking the Song Army general. He shot the horse first, breaking the opponent's shield guard, and then shot the opponent into a hedgehog with more than a dozen arrows.
However, Zhao Xiaoyi's greatest characteristics were his quick reactions and flexible mind, which was also the main reason why Chen Qing made him the scout leader.
Zhao Xiaoyi reacted extremely quickly, as nimble as a monkey. He knew something was wrong. As soon as he landed on the ground, his body quickly rolled away and shot all a dozen arrows.
The Song army also discovered the enemy spies, roared and urged their horses to kill the Jurchen spies.
The thirteen Jurchen spies could no longer hide, and they rushed out from behind the big tree, waving their spears and swords, shouting and charging forward...
