At this moment, Fang Kang suddenly exerted force, and the power of his double hooks suddenly increased.
"Hey, there must be a comeback," I thought.
Fang Kang opened his sword, but he took two steps back: "Master Lan is very powerful in martial arts, I will admit defeat."
When Lan Yu saw this, he quickly sheathed his sword and said: "Commander Fang, I accept the concession."
Xie Daolin laughed and said: "Deputy Commander Lan, you are so handsome, you passed two levels in a row and advanced to the finals. Take a break and prepare for the final round with Zhang Zijian."
"Yes, my lord,"
Zhang Zijian is the only one among the five who uses long-range weapons. He is an archer and is known as the eight-armed ape in the guard camp.
"Your Majesty," Xie Daolin took advantage of the opportunity to introduce, "the so-called eight arms refers to Commander Zhang's extremely fast shooting speed, as if he has eight arms, which can shoot without interruption. The spiritual ape refers to his agility. Like an ape, Commander Zhang comes from the Shenyu Sect in Dongchang Prefecture in the north. Each generation of this Shenyu Sect has very few disciples. It is said that this is the rule set by Zhang Qing, the founder of the Shenyu Sect."
"Zhang Qing has no feathers and arrows,"
Zhang Qing is a character in "Water Margin". He is the fifth of the eight hussar generals of the Liangshan Puma Army and the sixteenth of the eight generals of the Hundred Singles. In Shi Naian's works, he is famous for his unique skills of flying locust stones.
Xie Daolin was surprised and said: "Your Majesty, does Zhang Qing claim to have no feathered arrows?"
I nodded and changed the subject: "Thank you Aiqing, let's get started."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Xie Dao stood up and said, "Lan Yu, Zhang Zijian,"
"My subordinate is here,"
"Two commanders, the final round of competition is about to begin. You should prepare first."
Zhang Zijian took out his bow and arrow, cupped his fists and said, "Master Lan, please,"
Lan Yu returned the courtesy and said, "Commander Zhang, please."
I saw that Zhang Zijian was about forty years old, with a thin body and an ordinary appearance. If he were placed in a crowd, he would be no different from Uncle Wang or Uncle Li in the neighborhood. Compared with several other high-profile commanders, Zhang Zijian is He doesn't have the demeanor of a master at all, but being able to fulfill the position of commander of the royal guards just proves the saying that people should not be judged by their appearance.
Xie Daolin looked at the two people on the field and said: "Start,"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Zijian had already jumped up and was standing in the corner ten meters away.
"What a quick move, worthy of being called a spiritual ape," I admired secretly.
Zhang Zijian holds the bow in his left hand, and his right hand rests on the tail end of an arrow without an arrow. Lan Yu is also cautious, holding the sword formula with his left hand, holding the long sword in his right hand horizontally, holding it straight to his chest, standing calmly, looking directly at the opponent 's right hand.
At this moment, I thought of the cavalry archers I saw in the Forbidden Army that day. When they had bows and arrows in their hands, their fierce murderous aura suddenly appeared. It seemed that they could lock the opponent in, making the opponent not know how to dodge and defend. Zhang Zijian gave My feelings are completely different. It's like I'm a different person. I'm still an ordinary man. I vaguely feel that this commander's bow and arrow are more terrifying than Fang Kang's Wu hook.
Lan Yu did not attack and remained motionless, and Zhang Zijian did not let go of his right hand on the feather arrow. Both sides were looking for opportunities to fight, which made the field fall into a stalemate.
This kind of martial arts competition scene does not look as fierce as the previous ones, but the people present are all people who are well versed in martial arts. They know that if you don't move, it will be enough, and if you move, it will be shocking. If it is a life and death contest, then this momentum alone is enough to make me like this. People with low martial arts skills are frightened.
"Your Majesty, neither side dares to act rashly. In this situation, the one who takes the first move is likely to reveal a flaw and be caught by the opponent, killing him with a fatal blow," Yuan Ji whispered in my ear.
I nodded slightly, this kind of competition is suitable for an expert like Yuan Ji to provide on-site commentary.
The martial arts training hall was quiet, because it was indoors, there was no disturbance, and even the air seemed to have stopped flowing, as if everything had stopped.
"This not only depends on the two's ability to capture fighter planes, but more importantly, it also tests the psychological endurance of both parties,"
About five or six minutes later, I saw a look of anxiety on Zhang Zijian's face.
"Your Majesty, this commander has begun to sweat on his forehead, and he seems a little out of control," Yuan Ji said in a low voice, "The longer this situation lasts, the more disadvantageous it will be for the archers. If you can't shoot this shot before your energy and spirit relax. If you use arrows, it will be easy for your opponent to seize the opportunity and shorten the distance between them."
Suddenly, Lan Yu moved and took a step forward very slowly. Zhang Zijian in the distance was slightly startled, and the bow in his hand shook slightly. Of course, only Yuan Ji and Xie Daolin could see this instant change.
"Your Majesty, pay attention, Commander Zhang is about to shoot this arrow,"
I know that if Zhang Zijian stops shooting, his energy and spirit will be slack. In fact, this competition is slightly unfair to Zhang Zijian. The distance of about ten meters is not the best position for the archer, but the martial arts training hall is so big. , the corner of the wall ten meters away was already there. I didn’t know beforehand that there were archers among them, otherwise I would have moved the game outdoors.
When Lan Yu took the second step, Zhang Zijian finally moved. A black-feathered arrow with the arrow removed shot towards Lan Yu with a "swish" sound. As the long sword danced rapidly, Lan Yu's wrist exerted force, and a sword Hua Ying pointed at the feather arrow, but before I could see it clearly, I heard two more "swish, swish" sounds, and two jet-black cold lights quickly came to Lan Yu's face again, and they went straight to Lan Yu's shoulders respectively. Lan Yu didn't even notice Giving in, his wrist shook again, and the original sword flower was split into three at this moment, and hit three feather arrows respectively. It was too late, but it was fast, and all three feather arrows were knocked to the ground by the sword flower. Just when I thought this round was about to end, I saw the fourth feather arrow flying towards Lan Yu's throat again.
I said "Ah", even though I knew it was a feather arrow without an arrow, I was worried about Lan Yu. In the past, when I read books, I would always see the so-called three arrows fired in succession. I didn't expect to see four arrows fired this time. Chain of arrows.
"What an eight-armed ape, he truly deserves his reputation," Yuan Ji praised.
"Yes, Zhang Zijian is known as having eight arms. An ordinary person can shoot one arrow with both arms. Doesn't eight arms mean that he can shoot four arrows at the same time?" I thought to myself.
But seeing that Lan Yu was not in a hurry, I didn't see his move clearly at all. The fourth sword flower appeared in front of the arrow again, and with a "touch" sound, the arrow fell to the ground.
Although Zhang Zijian knew that Lan Yu was very powerful in martial arts, he did not expect that his four consecutive arrows would be blocked so easily by the opponent. Zhang Zijian was a little stunned when he saw Lan Yu quickly approaching, closing the distance between the two to five meters. about.
There was no advantage for the archer at this distance. Zhang Zijian gritted his teeth and shot another arrow. Zhang Zijian knew that this was his last chance to take action.
Lan Yu did not use the sword flower to defeat the enemy again, but jumped into the air, the sword body merged into one, and he and the sword hit the feather arrow impartially. The long sword passed through Zhang Zijian's feather arrow, and actually cut the feather arrow through it. It fell into two halves and fell to the ground.
When the feather arrow was torn and fell to the ground, Lan Yu was already standing two meters in front of Zhang Zi's fitness, and the tense atmosphere on the field suddenly disappeared.
"Good, what a great Lan Zongzhi," Zhang Zijian laughed loudly, "He is worthy of being the heir of the Emperor Valley, Zhang Fuyi,"
Lan Yu cupped his fists and said, "Commander Zhang, admit that in fact, Lan and I have also benefited from the glory of the venue,"
Zhang Zijian said: "Lan Zongzhi doesn't need to be humble. If Zhang loses, he loses. The two armies are facing each other. How can you be allowed to take a good position first and then start the battle?"
Lan Yu said: "Lan Yu admires Mr. Zhang's magnanimity."
Xie Daolin said: "Both of you are warriors in our guard camp. Xie announced that Lan Yu won this match. Your Majesty, please give me instructions."
I applauded and said with a smile: "As Xie Aiqing said, you are all warriors of our dynasty. I leave the safety of the palace to you. I can rest assured, Lan Yu,"
"I am here,"
"I will appoint you as the acting commander of the imperial guard camp of the Song Dynasty. I will see how effective it is before you become a full-time official."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Lan Yu knelt down and thanked him.
"Zhang Zijian,"
"I am here,"
"I appoint you as the deputy commander of the imperial guard camp of the Song Dynasty, and you will continue to serve as the commander concurrently,"
Zhang Zijian was promoted to half a level. He knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Well, Ping Sheng, dear friends, today's competition is over. I think everyone has learned a lot from it. In order to improve your skills, I specially invited my martial arts professor, Lan Yu, Shen Mo's master. Mr. Yuan will comment on the competition just now, hoping it will be helpful to you."
"Ah, Mr. Emperor Gu Yuan, that is a god-like figure," the generals in the guard camp thought in unison.
Yuan Ji said: "Everyone, the first game is a contest between Yuan's apprentices. Yuan will not talk about it. The second game is between Commander Fang and Commander Du. Commander Fang's Wu Gou is quite accomplished and can fully demonstrate his ability on the spot. You used the weight of the sword to control skill with weight, but Commander Du failed to use the lightness of the sword. In order to seize the opportunity, he finally had to confront Wu Gou. This goes against the foundation of Hengshan Kendo and Hengshan Sword Technique. The offense and defense were balanced. In the end, Commander Du did not have to fight head-on with Commander Fang. He first took the defensive position and then waited for an opportunity to find a fighting opportunity. In this way, there was still a chance. The third game also pitted the long sword against Wu Gou. Lan Yu's briskness restricted Wu Gou's The thickness of the weapon prevents Commander Fang from exerting his own advantages, thus losing all opportunities and falling into a passive situation. Yuan believes that there are no absolutes in martial arts. Speed can defeat power, and power can also restrict speed. At the right time, For, for martial arts,"
After listening to Fang Kang and Du Chunhua, he said, "Thank you, Mr. Yuan, for your advice."
Yuan Ji continued: "As for the last competition, Commander Zhang suffered a slight loss due to the limited venue. Commander Zhang was able to shoot four arrows in an instant, which is indeed extraordinary. If Yuan remembers correctly, there is someone in your Shenyu Sect. The senior once practiced the skill of shooting seven arrows instantly. With Zhang's ability, he can practice a chain of five arrows in about a year. He can be regarded as the best in your sect. In the competition, Yuan thought that Zhang's The chain of arrows used was slightly inappropriate. Commander Zhang should use the chain of arrows to force Lan Yu back instead of hoping to defeat his opponent. With the skills of an archer, he can only stand a chance if he forces his opponent ten meters away. "
Zhang Zijian thought for a moment and said, "Thank you, Mr.
"Well, strength comes first in terms of martial arts. The reason why Lan Yu can easily block Commander Zhang's feather arrows is because Lan Yu's sword flowers are enough. If Commander Zhang can do a series of six or seven arrows, then Lan Yu can't
If you stop him directly, you can only choose other methods,"
Only then did Zhang Zijian realize that he could shoot three or four feather arrows in an instant, while Lan Yu could stab five sword flowers in an instant. He was not unjustly defeated. Even if he was competing on the field outside the house, he would also be defeated.
You will lose unless you can practice the six-feather or seven-feather archery skills.
