Chapter 25 The Contest of Life and Death in the Past Life
"Han Sheng, is this the weapon he trained?"
Liu Zhang looked at the hundreds of people in front of him, all holding bows and arrows in their hands and carrying arrow pots on their backs, standing neatly. It looked like they were well-trained.
"good!"
Huang Zhong nodded.
"According to the Young Master's instructions, all the people have no families and are alone. They have been practicing archery for four years, and they can all use a bow with one stone!"
Taishi Ci and Dian Wei looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. It turned out that the young master had been making preparations five years ago.
"very good."
"Can you practice one or two?"
"promise."
The team quickly divided into two parts, with fifty people on each side. It was divided into five rows, with ten people in each row.
Huang Zhong gave the order and all the bows and arrows were cocked.
"Please give me the order, Master."
"put!"
Liu Zhang roared.
As soon as he finished speaking, twenty arrows from the first row were shot out, and then the people in the first row immediately squatted down.
While the first row of people squatted down, the second row of arrows had already been shot.
Then, the third row, the fourth row, the fifth row.
After the fifth row of bows and arrows are fired, the first row immediately gets up, and the cycle continues.
Hundreds of people and hundreds of arrows, all shot out within a few breaths!
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Liu Zhang shouted excitedly, Huang Zhong could train a hundred people to be so elite, and in the future even thousands of people would not be a problem!
Huang Zhong also felt proud when he saw how excellent the soldiers he trained were.
"This arrow array can shoot ten rounds continuously. Within forty steps, the power is infinite!"
Huang Zhong means that these people's physical strength can support each person to shoot ten arrows, and each arrow has the same power.
After all, maintaining such a high rate of fire requires extremely high explosive power.
"Thank you Han Sheng for your hard work."
Liu Zhang nodded with satisfaction.
The soldiers finished their drill and began to pack their bows and arrows.
Liu Yan is no longer the governor of Jizhou, and his bows and arrows have to be used repeatedly.
Taishi Ci and Dian Wei also praised the soldiers trained by Huang Zhong, especially Taishi Ci, who himself was from the government.
But for some reason, he always wanted to compete with Huang Zhong.
"Brother Huang is really good at training, I admire him very much!"
"I heard what the young master said, Brother Huang can shoot a four-stone strong bow and pierce a poplar tree with a hundred steps. He is kind but not talented. I would like to ask Brother Huang to give me some advice."
Taishi Ci admired Huang Zhong's ability in military training, but was not convinced by Liu Zhang's claim that he was invincible. He wanted to compete.
Huang Zhong looked at Liu Zhang. He didn't dare to agree rashly, not because he was afraid of losing, but because he didn't want to cause trouble to Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang smiled and nodded, thinking that he was indeed a bitter enemy in his previous life, and he had to decide the outcome when they first met.
"Okay, how to compete?"
When Huang Zhong saw Liu Zhang nodding, he no longer hesitated.
Taishi Ci looked around, finally decided on the method, and pointed forward.
"The tree is about one hundred and twenty steps away from here. If you hit the center, the one with the deepest arrow will win. How about that?"
Huang Zhong agreed with a smile. Archery was nothing more than child's play for him.
"How about a lucky draw? This is a treasure-carved bow, a three-stone bow. I am betting on this."
Taishi Ci was reluctant and wanted to make a bet.
The three-stone bow is already considered a treasure bow. The material requires extremely high hardness and toughness, so it is often expensive but not available in the market.
Huang Zhong was not afraid and took out the bow he was carrying.
"This is a tiger tendon bow, and it is also a three-stone bow. It can be used as a lucky draw!"
"good!"
Taishi Ci shouted excitedly, and then he fully drew the bowstring. After taking aim, he heard a thud and the arrow penetrated deep into the tree.
Taishi Ci looked at the arrow and nodded with satisfaction. He looked at Huang Zhong provocatively.
"Brother Huang, please."
Huang Zhong also fully drew the bow string and fired directly, as if he had not yet aimed.
The speed was faster than Taishi Ci. What was even more exaggerated was that the arrow pierced the wood.
Draw the bow, shoot the arrow, and hit the wood, all in one go. The victory or defeat is decided.
Taishi Ci was dumbfounded. He asked himself that he could not do this.
He reluctantly glanced at his treasured bow and handed it to Huang Zhong without mercy.
"Brother Huang is a great shot, Ci admires him!"
"I'm willing to admit defeat, this bow belongs to Brother Huang!"
Huang Zhong glanced at Tai Shici appreciatively and took the Baodiao Bow with a smile.
When Dian Wei saw that Tai Shi Ci had lost his beloved bow, he couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to stand up for him. After all, the two were considered "life and death friends".
"Brother Huang is a master of shooting, I can't compare with you. I heard that Brother Huang has excellent swordsmanship, can you give me some advice?"
"But let me explain in advance that if I lose, I will give the bow back to Ziyi. If Brother Huang wins, I will give Brother Huang this big halberd."
Liu Zhang looked at Dian Wei in surprise, why is this man so thick-skinned?
Who would want your broken iron rod? How rusty is it?
However, Huang Zhong didn't care and nodded in agreement.
The two walked to the center and stared at each other. No one moved first. It was as if time had stopped!
Huang Zhong held the broadsword and Dian Wei held the halberd. They stood face to face.
Dian Wei is more than nine feet tall, much taller than Huang Zhong.
Finally, Huang Zhong took the lead and attacked Dian Wei with his sword.
Dian Wei grinned. He was extremely confident in his own strength and was afraid that Huang Zhong would dodge and avoid a head-on collision with him.
Then he also raised his halberd and struck Huang Zhong's knife.
There was a loud bang, and the two of them retreated at the same time.
Liu Zhang looked at the two of them and saw that Dian Wei's hands were trembling slightly and his face became serious.
Huang Zhong was also breathing heavily.
Evenly matched!
A moment later, Dian Wei rushed up again, slashing at Huang Zhong with a sweeping sweep.
This time, Huang Zhong did not forcefully catch it. He tilted the tip of the knife and saw Dian Wei's halberd go downwards, successfully removing most of its power.
Then the handle of the knife turned and slashed at Dian Wei. Dian Wei shouted, turned around, and held the halberd in one hand to face the broadsword.
Just like this, you come and I go to Bai Yuhe, no matter who wins or loses.
However, Liu Zhang discovered that as time went by, Dian Wei gradually declined.
Dian Wei relied on strength and had no skills. After more than a hundred rounds of slashing and beating, his strength gradually became insufficient.
Huang Zhong also consumed a lot of physical strength, but his victory was due to his outstanding sword skills, and he often defeated strength with cleverness.
In fact, Dian Wei was at a disadvantage because Dian Wei had two halberds in both hands. If he lost one before, his combat effectiveness would definitely be affected.
Finally, after another fifty rounds, Huang Zhong defeated Dian Wei's big halberd. The winner was decided!
Seeing Dian Wei's defeat, Taishi Ci admired Huang Zhong even more.
When Dian Wei saw that he had lost, he did not show any pretense and surrendered to Huang Zhong.
"Brother Huang is very skilled in martial arts, so I admit defeat."
Then he looked at Tai Shici apologetically.
Liu Zhang smiled and shook his head. He really lost his wife and lost his army!
