Chapter 791: Cross Yang Yangyouji with a hundred steps
The wheels were rolling, and Yang Youji, holding a bow in one hand, signaled the driver to come forward.
Arriving a few hundred steps in front of the Qilu coalition formation, he took a deep breath and roared towards the coalition formation, "Yang Youji is here, who dares to fight with a certain person?!"
The roar came, and everyone on the coalition side changed their minds, but no one dared to answer.
In this era, Yang Youji's reputation is really great.
This man is a world-famous archer. He can catch arrows from all directions with both hands, and can shoot a thousand-jin bow with both arms. He is said to be able to shoot at a willow leaf in a hundred steps, and he is said to be able to shoot through a willow leaf in a hundred steps!
In the Battle of Yanling forty years ago, the Chu-Zheng coalition was severely attacked by the Jin army and suffered an extremely tragic defeat.
Not only was the prince captured, but even the King of Chu had one of his eyes blinded by the Jin general Wei Qi.
At that time, the Chu army was completely defeated. The King of the Communist Party of Chu, who endured the severe pain, gave the two best arrows in Chu to Yang Youji, and asked him to stop the Jin army.
Yang Youji challenged the Jin general Wei Qi to a duel. After a life-and-death fight, the two archers finally killed Wei Qi with one arrow from Yang Youji. They blocked the pursuit of the Jin army with bows and arrows, frightening the Jin army and no one dared to get close.
Guard the king of Chu and retreat safely.
In the Battle of Yongpu thirty years ago, Yang Youji also took action, killing the general of Wu army with one arrow, defeating Wu army, and capturing the son of Wu state, which made his reputation even greater.
Although Yang Youji is now a veteran with white hair and beard, he is famous for his great reputation. For a while, no one here in the Qilu Allied Forces dared to fight.
The elderly Yang Youji saw that no one from the Qilu coalition responded, so he roared again, "Isn't it true that the land of Qilu is full of rats?!"
These words were very hurtful. Immediately, many strong men from Qi and Lu became angry and wanted to fight, but they were stopped by Yan Zi and others.
The reason is very simple. If you don't have good shooting skills, it's useless to go up there. There's no point in only hurting morale.
When the military morale gradually became impetuous, Li Yunze stepped forward to Ji Sun's chariot and said calmly, "You, come down."
Ji Sun felt anxious and said hurriedly, "Sir..."
"Um?"
Li Yunze stared at him, Ji Sun didn't dare to say anything and hurriedly got off the chariot.
After getting on the chariot, Li Yunze looked at the man on the right side of the chariot who was holding a Changge, and frowned slightly: "You, get off."
The driver on the right side of the car looked at Ji Sunshi in embarrassment. Mrs. Ji Sun waved repeatedly, so the driver on the right side of the car had no choice but to get out of the car.
Li Yunze winked at Sun Wu, and Sun Wu immediately stepped forward to take over Chang Ge and boarded the chariot to serve as the right driver.
There were two types of chariots in this era, the one pulled by two horses was called Liangfu, and the chariot pulled by four horses was called Sicheng.
The one in the middle of the chariot is the driver, the soldier on the right is responsible for close combat and is called the right chariot, and the one on the left is responsible for long-range combat with a bow and is called the left chariot.
A chariot is equipped with ten foot soldiers and fifty-two unarmored soldiers. These people belong to the same combat unit, called a ride.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, when a country was described as powerful, it was always described as a country of thousands of vehicles or a country of ten thousand vehicles. This is the vehicle in question.
Chariots are the most important combat tools in this era.
Li Yunze pulled the bow left by Ji Sun a few times, frowned and said, "It's too light."
Mrs. Ji Sun hurriedly ordered her retainers to fetch strong bows.
"Sir." Ji Sun said eagerly, "If you want to fight, sir, you must at least put on your armor first."
Li Yunze came with the army as a guest guest, so naturally he did not wear armor.
Facing Ji Sun's kindness, Li Yunze smiled and said, "You don't need armor to compete with arrows."
For a marksman like Yang Youji, it doesn't matter whether the opponent is wearing armor or not, because he must be going to a dangerous place.
Ji Sunshi presented a strong bow and a bag of wolf fang arrows, and then led everyone to salute respectfully and send Li Yunze's chariot off to the battle.
For him, winning or losing is a good thing.
Needless to say, it goes without saying that the victory was achieved. Lu's reputation was world-famous and made all countries feel in awe.
If you lose, the mountain that has been weighing on your head will be gone.
Yang Youji was still waiting to call for formation when he saw a vehicle with two wheels rolling out of the military formation on the opposite side.
He tightened the bow in his hand and looked at it carefully.
He is strong and strong, but he is not wearing armor.
When Li Yunze's chariot arrived a hundred steps away, Yang Youji shouted, "Who are you? Why aren't you wearing armor?"
"Qufu Kong Zhongni."
Li Yunze raised the strong bow in his hand, "I've heard about the old general's magical arrows for a long time, so I came here to ask for advice. As for armor, I don't need it."
"Are you Kong Zhongni?"
The King of Chu came here to capture Kong Zhongni. This matter was not a secret among the Chu army.
In Yang Youji's view, Kong Zhongni is just a scriptwriter, so how can he have the courage to go out against him?
Is it because I am getting old and my prestige is not as good as before?
He shouted again, "Are you the one who wrote the story? It's so easy to write your story, so why bother to go out and die!"
Li Yunze lowered his eyelids, "There is no future in writing novels... Actually, I am engaged in education. That's all. I am here to send the old general off to the battle today!"
"Hahahaha~~~"
Yang Youji laughed loudly, "What a shame! You boy will die!"
The drivers of the chariots on both sides waved their whips almost simultaneously, urging the horses pulling the chariots to speed up and run.
In this type of archery duel in front of the formation, naturally they would not rush towards each other face to face, but would circle around each other at a suitable distance.
As for the appropriate distance, it mainly depends on the strength of both sides.
On the Chu army side, when they learned that it was Kong Laoer who wrote the storybook who was going to fight, everyone immediately started talking about it.
No one thought Yang Youji, who could defeat Yang Youji at every turn, would lose. This old general had been the talisman of the Chu State for decades.
In the words of Gongzi Qiji, "It's a pity that Kong Zhongni's words have been lost and will never be seen again."
The generals of the Chu army agreed one after another.
Even the King of Chu thought so, and he lamented that this trip to the State of Lu was in vain.
As for calling a halt to the archery contest, it would be useless even if the King of Chu personally called for it.
In this era where reputation is valued above life, no one can stop at this time.
Among the Chu army, only Wu Zixu did not think so.
He had seen with his own eyes how Li Yunze used only two fingers to clamp down on the powerful sword of the famous swordsman of Chu!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Those who have this ability are certainly not ordinary people.
Even though Yang Youji's strength and fame are great and can be said to be the ceiling of this era, the problem is that he is old after all.
It has been forty years since the Battle of Yanling became famous.
On the battlefield, chariots on both sides were chasing each other in circles, dozens of steps apart.
Yang Youji's hand first touched the sharp arrow given to him by the King of Chu.
The Chu State has three perfect divine arrows that were built with the efforts of the whole country, and are usually enshrined in the Chu State's ancestral rituals.
Only when the King of Chu goes to war will he be invited out.
One of these three divine arrows was given to Yang Youji to kill Jin general Wei Qi in the Battle of Yanling forty years ago.
The second divine arrow was used on Dou Yuejiao.
At this time, there was the third quiver in Yang Youji's quiver.
He could sense that Li Yunze was very strong, but it was not worth using the magic arrow.
So what was pulled out was a wolf tooth arrow.
Coincidentally, Li Yunze on the opposite side also took out a wolf-fang arrow.
The wolf tooth arrows used by the nomads are literally polished from wolf teeth.
At this time, Li Yunze and Yang Youji were using heavy arrows with barbs made of bronze.
This heavy arrow has strong armor-breaking ability.
He stretched his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at both sides.
Yang Youji, who was on the right side of the car, and Sun Wu, who was on Li Yunze's side, raised their shields almost simultaneously to protect the shooters from the neck down.
Amidst the sound of bow strings vibrating, the two men shot sharp arrows at the same time.
Two wolf-fang arrows met in mid-air. The arrows collided and sparked, then rolled and fell to the ground.
Yang Youji's expression changed drastically!
For so many years, whenever he went to the battlefield, he always hit the target with perfect accuracy and never missed.
But today, his record of always hitting the target was broken. He actually failed to hit the target with this arrow!
There are many sharp archers in the history of Middle-earth. Apart from the mythical Houyi, the most powerful one should be Yang Youji.
The ability to pierce the Yang with a hundred steps refers to Yang Youji's ability, and the perfect hit with every shot is his record!
Yang Youji's mistake also fell into the eyes of tens of thousands of troops from both sides.
Everyone knew about Yang Youji's terrifying record of never failing on the battlefield, but now they were watching Yang Youji fail, and there was an uproar.
"how come..."
Compared with the cheers of the Qilu Allied Forces, the morale of the Chu Army suddenly stagnated.
Yang Youji is their god of war...
Yang Youji on the carriage took a deep breath.
By the time he exhaled his turbid breath, he reached into his bag and took the Chu Kingdom's third divine arrow in his hand.
The so-called divine arrows are actually heavy arrows made entirely of bronze.
People without strength will definitely not be able to use this thing.
On Li Yunze's side, he drew three wolf-fang arrows.
There is no doubt that he will use the famous stunt that he has never stopped practicing in many worlds, the continuous arrow!
The previous arrow was considered a warm-up, but now it’s time to decide the outcome!
There was no unnecessary nonsense. As their eyes met, both sides were already shooting arrows.
Yang Youji's divine arrow was powerful and heavy, tearing the air with a whistling sound. Judging from the posture, it would not be a problem to penetrate armor.
After all, Yang Youji himself is born with divine power. He has continued to exercise even as he got older, and his strength has not deteriorated too much.
Li Yunze is absolutely victorious in terms of strength, but the problem is that the bow in his hand cannot support his strength.
Therefore, the first two arrows of the chain of arrows both hit Yang Youji's divine arrow and knocked it to the ground through two impacts.
The third arrow flew all the way and shot straight into Yang Youji's throat.
As if struck by lightning, Yang Youji let go of the bow in his hand and fell backwards in the carriage.
His eyes widened and looked at the sky, but the scene from the Battle of Yanling forty years ago flashed through his mind.
At that time, he shot an arrow through Wei Qi's neck.
Perhaps due to the cycle of nature, the position where he was hit by the arrow at this time was the same as that of Wei Qi back then.
Having been on the battlefield for decades, I can't remember how many enemy soldiers I killed with perfect accuracy.
Today I die by an arrow, this is my fate.
Yang Youji looked at the sky. Countless faces seemed to appear in the sky. Those were all enemy soldiers who died under his arrows.
Coughing up large clumps of blood from his mouth, Yang Youji trembled and stretched his hands toward the sky. Finally, his eyes went dark and his arms fell limply.
The unparalleled archer god of the Chu State, Yang Youji, a master archer who was feared by the Jin army, the overlord of the world, fell near Shanfu City!
