Chapter 63 Spring Hunting
Spring begins and everything revives. In the suburbs of Chengdu, a man looks out from the mountains.
Xue Bing was wearing a light shirt, but had a long sword hanging on her waist, a long bow on her back, and a war horse with a quiver on both sides, with twenty feathered arrows inside.
Looking around, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Ma Chao were all dressed like this. Only Zhuge Liang and other scholars were still wearing long gowns and unarmed.
Liu Bei took the lead, holding a long bow in his hand, pointed to a pheasant in the distance and said, "Who can shoot this chicken? Who will I make the pioneer?"
When the generals heard this, they all held their bows in their hands and shot them with one arrow. The poor pheasant turned into a hedgehog in the blink of an eye. Liu Bei looked at it and had to say, "I'll decide to fight." Then he picked up the hedgehog chicken. At this time, Liu Bei found that only Xue Bing was sitting quietly among the generals, without moving any more.
Liu Bei looked around and asked, "Why didn't Zihan shoot him with arrows?"
Xue Bing smiled awkwardly and replied, "Bing has never practiced the art of archery."
Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this and said with a strange look on his face: "Zi Han has never practiced archery skills?" Xue Bing was about to answer, but Zhang Fei beside him said: "Zi Han cannot do archery skills? How is this possible?"
When Zhang Fei shouted these words, it was impossible for others to hear them. Ma Chao said the first time: "Zi Camma is very skilled in martial arts, how could he not be able to use the art of bows and arrows? I think he has unique skills and is not willing to show it out." Ma Chao was originally guarding the junction of Xichuan and the Qiang tribe, but this time Liu Bei specially recruited him back to discuss the plan to advance.
Zhao Yun said, "In the past few years, I have never seen Zi Han use a bow and arrow. Could it be that I have never been used to it?" Zhao Yun recalled carefully for a long time, but he had never seen Xue Bing use a bow.
Xue Bing smiled bitterly and said, "I have never learned anything, but you don't believe it."
Huang Zhong said: "I looked at Zihan's equipment and hung two pots of arrow branches on the horse. I also thought that Zihan's shooting skills were amazing. Today I was ready to show off my skills, but I didn't expect that Zihan would not be able to shoot." After pausing, he pointed to the two pots of arrows and asked: "What are the uses of these two pots of arrows?"
Xue Bing smiled and said, "These two pots of arrows are prepared for you. I can ask me for it if anyone has used up all the arrows."
When everyone heard this, they were all silent.
At this time, Liu Bei said, "Zi Han is a general of war, how can he not use the art of shooting? Today, all the generals are here. Why wouldn't they learn the art of archery from them with this opportunity?"
As soon as Liu Bei finished speaking, Wei Yan said first, "If Zi Han doesn't dislike him, I will give you all my wishes!" Before he could say that, Ma Dai said, "What are you capable of? Can Zi Han learn archery with you?" Wei Yan heard this and said angrily, "Do you dare to compete with me?" Ma Dai said, "Why not?" Then he took the bow in his hand and asked Wei Yan, "But you say a target, and wait for me to shoot for you!"
Zhang Fei said: "I, Lao Zhang, will not get involved in the archery competition. Why not just make a notarization? Let me tell you something, and it depends on who can shoot you, okay?" Zhang Fei was so lively, but now there is fun, so of course he has to run out and get involved.
Liu Bei looked around, but he just smiled at Zhuge Liang and others. There was no danger in this competition, but he was happy to see it, so he said, "Yes, I will also be a witness. You two can perform your bow skills. I will reward you who win."
When Wei Yan and Ma Dai heard this, they became more warlike, so they all looked at Zhang Fei, waiting for him to point out the target. Zhang Fei, now he built a pergola with his hands and looked back and forth, as if he was looking for something suitable. After searching for a moment, he said happily: "It's the big tree in front, with the third branch on the left. Whoever shot the shot will win!"
After hearing Zhang Fei's words, everyone looked at the tree, and saw that the tree was far away. Everyone could only see the trunk. As for the so-called third branch, it was vague and unclear.
When Ma Dai saw this, he frowned and turned to look at Wei Yan. Seeing his confident look, he felt dissatisfied. He took out the feather arrow and put it on the bow. He opened the bow and shot the arrow. The movement was completed in one go. The feather arrow was like lightning. In the blink of an eye, it flew to the big tree and rubbed over the branch.
Everyone saw clearly, and saw the arrow flying over, sighing inwardly, as if they were a pity for Ma Dai. Seeing this, Ma Dai could only shake his head and then said to Wei Yan: "If you shoot, you will win."
Wei Yan didn't answer, but just took the arrow in his hand, set the arrow and opened the bow. After a moment, he relaxed his hand and the feather arrow flew out. Then everyone saw the arrow nailed to the branch. Everyone looked at it and shouted "Okay," even Liu Bei praised, "Wen Chang is really a sharp shot!" Wei Yan saw that he shot, first glanced at Ma Dai, and then accepted everyone's praise with joy. Finally, he said, "I will be the art of teaching my son to cold bows and arrows?"
But as soon as he said this, he heard several sounds sounding around him. "Let's wait!" Wei Yan looked at him, but saw Huang Zhong saying, "Even though Wen Chang's archery technique is sophisticated, I am afraid it's not the strongest. I want to have a discussion with Wen Chang, how good is it?"
Zhao Yun on the other side also said, "I just saw Wen Chang's magic shooting. His skills were itchy for a moment, and he wanted to compete." After saying that, he took out the bow and arrow, and did not aim. He shot it out with an arrow. But seeing that Zhao Yun's arrow shot in the same place as Wei Yan's arrow, he actually shocked Wei Yan's arrow from the branch and fell to the ground. However, Zhao Yun's arrow was firmly nailed to the branch.
Zhao Yun saw it clearly, as if he was very satisfied with his arrow. He looked at Wei Yan and Huang Zhong and Wei Yan saw Zhao Yun's arrow and knew that he could not compare with others, so he said, "Zilong's magic shot cannot be delayed!"
But Huang Zhong said, "Let me show my skills!" Everyone looked at Huang Zhong when they heard this, wanting to see what the old general was capable of. But when Huang Zhong rode his horse and ran straight out, he looked out of the side, but his direction was far from the tree. Zhang Fei also said, "Can this old man be confused? What are you going to do there?"
Just as he was muttering, he saw Huang Zhongyu immediately arching an arrow. Huang Zhong sent the four stone bows, which were much stronger than the other three stone bows. He could draw this bow at will, but it was a little stronger than those people. On the horse, he turned his back to the tree, and then suddenly leaned back, and then shot out the arrow.
The arrows shot from the Four Stone Bows and Three Stone Bows were a little less powerful. As soon as Huang Zhong shot the arrow, everyone could not even see clearly, the arrow was nailed to the branch. The feather arrow shot by Zhao Yun was cut into two pieces by the arrow shot by Huang Zhong. The first half was still nailed to the tree, but the second half fell to the ground.
After seeing it clearly, everyone was shocked and said that Huang Zhong was the magical arrow in the world, and no one could defeat him. Huang Zhong praised him for his joy and rode his horse and replied, "Who else is unwilling to accept it? You can come out to compete with me for one or two."
Liu Bei said: "The old general's sharp shooting skills are unparalleled in the world and are unmatched. I think no one dares to compete with the old general."
Huang Zhong hurriedly said, "Thank you for your praise."
Liu Bei said again: "Today's spring hunting, the old general Huang will show his power. In the future, he will be the old general as the vanguard. Are the old generals willing to take this position?"
Huang Zhong was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, lord, Zhongding will live up to his expectations."
Everyone was upset when they heard that the old man had robbed the vanguard position. However, the old man had to hold back his anger.
Liu Bei naturally saw the expressions of the people and said, "It's spring now. I have agreed with Wu Hou to advance this summer, so that the generals will be recruited to discuss major military affairs. Although General Huang is the vanguard, the advancement still needs to rely on everyone and work together to achieve victory." The generals hurriedly replied, "It's definitely true that the lord's expectations are not disappointed." Liu Bei smiled and said, "Okay, Japan is going to have a trip now, so the military will talk about this, so let's talk about something else!" After saying that, he saw Xue Bing beside him, and then said, "That's why he wanted to find a teacher for Zi Han. Now General Huang is unparalleled in archery skills. He should be a teacher of Zi Han. Zi Han is better than to learn this archery technique with General Huang."
Before Xue Bing answered, Huang Zhong said first: "I am a little trick, if Zihan sees you, I will give you all my best." Xue Bing heard it and smiled, "I am afraid that I will be blunt in the qualifications of Bing, and I will not be able to get the eyes of General Huang." Huang Zhong said: "General Xue, shoot an arrow first, and let me have a clear heart first." Xue Bing responded, took down the arrow on his back, and took out a feather arrow from the quiver pot.
Just as he was about to draw the bow, he saw Huang Zhong startled and said, "What General Xue uses is the five stone bow?"
After hearing this, Xue Bing glanced at the long bow in his hand and asked, "But I don't know how many stone bows it is, but I just took them out."
Huang Zhong said: "It must be a five-stone bow. I will never see it wrong when dealing with the longbow all day long. General Xue can draw this bow?" After saying that, he looked at Xue Bing with a look of surprise.
Xue Bing said: "Can you not be able to drive the old general Huang?" He only felt that his strength had been increasing, but now he didn't know how much it had increased, but he didn't know if using the Five Stone Bow would be too terrifying.
Huang Zhong said: "It is to open it, but if you use the five stone bow on the battlefield, it will take too much effort and not be able to fight. Therefore, you only use the four stone bows in normal times."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Bing didn't realize anything, but the others said in their hearts: "It's very human to use the Four Stone Bows in normal times. Huang Zhong's magic arrow technique is real talent."
Huang Zhong looked at it for a moment and said, "General Xue, shoot an arrow, tell me how to see?"
Xue Bing then fired the arrow, but the target was still the branch before. Huang Zhong looked at Xue Bing's posture and said to himself, "It's good!" Just as he was about to speak, he saw Xue Bing shoot out an arrow, and the arrow seemed to have disappeared. In the blink of an eye, he reached a hundred steps away.
Snap! Snap!
A branch as thick as a thigh was shot and fell from the tree. When everyone saw it, they were shocked. The power of a single arrow was so powerful?
However, after everyone came to their senses from now on, they saw the branch shooting, and they all smiled bitterly. Even if the power is great, what's the use of not hitting the target?
It turned out that Xue Bing was aiming at the third branch on the left side of the tree. But the one he shot was the second branch on the right and the fourth branch on the right side.
Chapter completed!
