Gu Weiyi smiled slightly embarrassedly at Xia Chu, then paced to host the competition.
Xia Chu didn't smile back, but silently put the needle in his hand back into his belt.
On the steps of the martial arts arena, the lineup of soldiers was divided into three groups.
Half of them were on Yan Jianghong's side, shouting Yan Jianghong's name.
A quarter of them were on Guo Weidong's side, shouting at the top of their lungs for General Guo.
The other quarter was forced to stand on Guo Weidong's side, reluctantly calling General Guo in a low voice.
In such a comparison, Yan Jianghong is slightly better in terms of momentum alone.
Guo Weidong stared at the group of people behind him with an angry face and shouted: "Don't you have any food?"
Someone in the crowd on Yan Jianghong's side shouted, "Yeah, we'll wait until you lose so we can go have a meal to celebrate."
Everyone paused for a moment, then laughed.
The laughter is deafening and enduring.
Guo Weidong had a livid face and was about to get angry. Gu Weiyi stepped forward and stopped him and said, "Let's start, otherwise it will be dark."
Guo Weidong snorted coldly.
"The rules of the competition are: three rounds of riding and shooting in the training ground, one arrow in each round. The one who reaches the target first with the highest score wins. The one who misses the target with less than eight points will be directly defeated."
Xia Chu frowned after hearing this.
"Everyone shoots an arrow when they ride to the target. If they miss the target, they lose. There are ten points on the target. If you don't shoot more than eight points, you lose." Shan Xiangpeng saw Xia Chu frowning and explained beside him. road.
Xia Chu nodded and looked at the two people who got on their horses.
"What's the background of Guo Weidong and why he is so arrogant?" Xia Chu asked confused.
In my previous life, I never had the impression that he had any prominent family background, so how could he become like this
"He has no background. He is just an ordinary soldier who joined the army. He slowly climbed up to the rank of captain. At the end of last year, he collected the military deployment route map of the Hu people outside the Great Wall from somewhere, and led everyone to win many battles. He was promoted after the beginning of the year. At the rank of major general, now when I meet my brothers who were at the same level before, they are even more impressive." Deng Qizhong was a master in formation formation, and he looked down upon Guo Weidong's sneaky victory.
"How is he riding and shooting?" Xia Chu asked.
"Look at him now as a general, only a quarter of the people are really willing to follow him, you know it's not that good." Deng Qizhong curled his lips.
Xia Chu calmed down and stared at the competition that had already begun on the martial arts field.
There were endless shouts from both sides, and everyone looked excited.
Xia Chu was so shaken by the roar of people that his head hurt, and he couldn't help but ask: "Are they too excited?"
"It's all based on some luck." Shan Xiangpeng smiled slyly.
"Isn't gambling strictly prohibited in the military camp?" Xia Chu asked in surprise.
"If you don't gamble with money, you just gamble on things like dry food, meat cakes, laundry, and cleaning."
Xia Chu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, is this the happiness of soldiers in the army...
There was a cheer in my ears, and Yan Jianghong's name rang out again.
When Xia Chu looked up again, he found that Yan Jianghong had already completed a lap. An arrow seemed to have hit his target, and Xia Chu couldn't help but smile.
"Jiang Hong's cavalry and archery ranks third in the Zhao Army. Guo Weidong was taught by him before." Deng Qizhong said proudly.
"Who is first and second?"
"Of course they are the two generals Xiao Zhao, the generals' descendants." Shan Xiangpeng said with fascination.
Xia Chu suddenly remembered that Shan Xiangpeng was General Xiao Zhao's staff officer, and asked: "Which General Xiao Zhao's staff officer are you?"
"I am the staff officer of my second brother, General Zhao Xingwu."
"Brother, you can't call me Zhao Xingwen." Xia Chu twitched the corner of his mouth.
In my previous life, I accompanied my father to worship, but I never took a closer look at my cousin's name. I only remember that my grandfather’s name was Zhao Dingshan and my uncle’s name was Zhao Shuangquan.
"Exactly, General Zhao Shuangquan probably wanted one son to join the civil service and the other to join the military, but both of them ended up joining the army."
While speaking, Yan Jianghong shot another ten-point arrow, which attracted bursts of applause.
The queue on the other side was dejected and morale was low.
With only the last half lap left, everyone shouted excitedly. Deng Qizhong and Shan Xiangpeng also blushed and stood up to cheer.
Only Xia Chu felt something was wrong.
There's something wrong with Yan Jianghong's horse.
When the horse just turned, the stress point of its left foot was abnormal, causing the joints of the horse's legs to be somewhat misaligned and the lower legs to tremble slightly.
"No, Jiang Hong, stop it!" Xia Chu stood up and exclaimed.
Unfortunately, his voice was drowned in the crowd. Only Deng Qizhong and Shan Xiangpeng stood on his left and right sides and heard Xia Chu's exclamation. When I turned around and wanted to ask what was going on, I heard the exclamations of a group of people in front of me.
Yan Jianghong fell off his horse!
Guo Weidong's horse was right behind, and it was about to step on Yan Jianghong.
What if he was really trampled under the hooves of a galloping horse? Even if Xia Chu could save him, he would never be able to serve in the army again.
Xia Chu didn't have time to run over, so he could only tap his toes and use Qing Kung Fu, and he was in front of Yan Jianghong in an instant, and Guo Weidong followed him.
Xia Chu raised his foot and kicked the horse, and the horse stood up with a neigh. Xia Chu raised his arms and flew forward, picking up Guo Weidong by the collar, and swept him into the air. Then he suddenly fell violently, pressed his neck and smashed him into the ground.
The entire martial arts arena was silent...
Everyone was stunned by this scene...
Deng Qizhong and Shan Xiangpeng saw Xia Chu kneeling on one knee in the martial arts arena, with his right hand still pressed on Guo Weidong's neck. Bright red blood began to flow out from under Guo Weidong's body, and the wind blew some of Xia Chu's scattered strands of hair. The setting sun shone on Xia Chu's mediocre face, but it couldn't cover up his soul-stirring eyes.
Guo Weidong had lost too much blood, and he still didn't know what happened. He could only look at Xia Chu with wide eyes in surprise and horror when he suddenly leaned over to his ear.
"I just said, you can't bear this kneeling. You can't move my people." After Xia Chu finished speaking, he patted his tense face, stood up and walked towards Yan Jianghong.
Yan Jianghong was also dumbfounded. He should be the person who could see it most clearly in the entire martial arts arena.
He originally fell off his horse, but then he saw Guo Weidong stepping towards him.
I feel that my whole life is useless.
It turned out to be just a moment, really just a moment.
He saw Xia Chu standing in front of him. He didn't know how Xia Chu came here. He was still thinking about how Xia Chu came here. Then he saw Xia Chu kicked the horse away first, and then grabbed Guo Weidong and went up to the sky. He hit it hard again.
When he heard the smashing sound, he felt that he didn't seem to be in that much pain anymore.
"Master?" Yan Jianghong called out uncertainly. He wondered if he had fallen off his horse and had hallucinations.
Xia Chu pinched his covered calf to check his injury. He groaned in pain before he was sure that he was not dreaming.
Xia Chu stood up again and walked to the archery target in the martial arts field and pulled down four arrows. When Xia Chu walked back to Guo Weidong, everyone on the steps took a breath and shouted: "Doctor Yi!"
Xia Chu stopped and frowned, looking at the steps of the martial arts arena, seeing their faces filled with horror.
He tilted his head in confusion, then ignored it. He walked to Yan Jianghong's side, pulled off a few strips of cloth from the hem of his clothes, held up his arrows, and tied them to Yan Jianghong's calf to hold him in place.
Everyone on the stone steps let out a long breath.
Gu Weiyi woke up at this time, cursed his mother in his heart, and shouted: "Why don't you get over here and see what's going on."
Everyone just woke up from a dream and ran towards the martial arts field.
The heroine is awesome, sassy and defensive. Love it, love it~
