Chapter 525 Archery Competition
However, these archers, whether in shooting skills or bows and arrows, are far inferior to the Shenji Battalion. The Purple Gold Dragon Riders are wearing heavy armor, which is inconvenient for them to move and climb the city walls, but their protection is unparalleled.

These arrows were shot down one after another, and only about a hundred Purple-Gold Dragon Knights were injured.

"Damn it! He actually came to attack the city wearing such heavy armor. Is Guan Yu crazy?"

Zhang He said this angrily, then he bent his bow and drew his arrow, moving left and right under the city wall, and finally aimed at Zhou Yuan.

Among the generals crawling in the front, he had seen Zhang Liao's martial arts with his own eyes, and the rest were also very brave. Only Zhou Yuan, although wearing armor, had a very fair face and a body not as sturdy as the others. He looked more like a pale scholar and did not look like a general with superb martial arts at all.

"It's you. Kill one person first, it will boost morale."

Zhou Yuan was still climbing up. Yan Quan, who was standing nearby, was the first to notice Zhang He and immediately exclaimed.

"Xuanwei, be careful..."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Zhou Yuan had time to react, the taut bowstring in Zhang He's hand was released instantly, and an arrow flew out into the air.

"Oops……"

Zhou Yuan was unable to dodge and could only turn sideways to avoid the vital part. Although his armor was also very fine, it was extremely difficult for ordinary archers' arrows to penetrate it, but Zhang He's bow was a three-stone strong bow, and the arrow directly pierced Zhou Yuan's right arm.

"what……"

Zhou Yuan's right arm was in pain and weak, and he fell off the ladder. He covered his wound and looked angrily at Zhang He on the city gate.

"The generals of Jizhou are really good at attacking people from behind."

"He's not dead yet?"

Zhang He saw Zhou Yuan being helped up by several soldiers and hurriedly retreating, feeling a little annoyed.

He then took another arrow, put the bowstring on again, and aimed at Zhou Yuan.

Yan Quan below said angrily: "You bastard, you hurt my comrade and you still want to shoot him again. Do you really think there is no sharpshooter among my Purple Gold Dragon Riders?"

He also took his longbow from his back, clasped his feet tightly around the ladder, bent the bow, drew the arrow, and aimed at Zhang He.

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

Followed by the sound of two bowstrings being released.

Zhang He was wondering why there were two sounds when he saw that the arrow he shot had not flown far when it was knocked away by another arrow shot from below.

Zhang He was startled and looked down quickly, only to see that Yan Quan had re-nozzed the arrow and was aiming it at him.

"How could such a skilled archer exist among such heavy cavalry?"

Zhang He couldn't help but exclaimed.

However, no matter how amazed he was, he saw that the other party had pointed the bow and arrow at him, and his arrow had just been deflected by the other party, which meant he had already lost. How could Zhang He, who prided himself on being the best archer in Jizhou, be willing to admit defeat?

"Then let's see who has better archery skills!"

Being in a high position, Zhang He already had the advantage. Full of confidence, he bent his bow and arrow, aiming at Yan Quan.

"Go to hell!"

The two people shouted these two words silently in their hearts at the same time, and then two arrows were shot out at the same time.

While the two shot arrows, they also dodged to the side. The two arrows passed by each other in the air and then flew past the two men.

"Come again!"

The two great archers kept shooting arrows at each other. Whoever retreated at this time would be considered to have admitted defeat. Therefore, both of them held back their determination and started a shooting battle on the top and bottom of the city wall.

However, because both of them were proficient in bows and crossbows, they were always able to dodge each other's arrows in advance. After shooting at each other for more than ten times, they were still unharmed.

"Hehe, I thought Ye Xiang was the best archer in the Bingzhou army, but I didn't expect that a nobody like you could have such martial arts skills. If there is a chance in the future, Zhang will definitely compete with Ye Xiang."

As Zhang He spoke, he nocked the arrow again.

At this time, Yan Quan secretly glanced at the soldiers around Zhang He, and then sneered at Zhang He.

"How shameless! You can't even defeat me, Yan Quan. If General Ye comes in person, he can kill you with just one arrow under the city."

"You..." Zhang He has always been proud of his archery skills. Hearing him evaluate himself like this, he couldn't help but get angry.

"Then I'll shoot you first!"

This arrow was filled with his anger, and as it shot down, there was a faint sound of it breaking through the air.

At this time, a smile appeared on Yan Quan's lips, and he suddenly changed the direction of the bow and arrow.

Zhang He saw that the situation was not good: "Oh no, we fell into a trap!"

With just a slight sound, a Jizhou soldier next to Zhang He was shot in the neck and fell directly off the city wall.

"Since we are competing, why did you shoot and kill my soldiers?" Yan Quan sneered, "How dare you, a despicable villain who is used to shooting arrows at people from behind, scold me? Look at the arrow!"

Zhang He also hurriedly fought back, Yan Quan instinctively avoided it, but the next moment he realized something was wrong.

"He was shooting at Qin Chu!"

Yan Quan watched helplessly as an arrow shot into the shoulder of Qin Chu, who was about to climb to the top of the city wall next door.

Qin Chu screamed and fell down the city wall like Zhou Yuan.

"Bo Qing..."

Zhang He injured two people in a row. Yan Quan's anger had reached its peak. When he was about to turn around to deal with Zhang He, he saw that he had already aimed at Qin Chu, who had just barely stood up.

Yan Quan was shocked.

"Be careful, my dear..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder.

Zhang He's wild laughter came from above: "Haha, idiot! Do you think you are the only one who can use this trick?"

After saying that, another arrow shot straight towards the front of Yanquan.

"How hateful! A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. A gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years!"

Yan Quan glared at Zhang He hatefully, endured the severe pain in his left shoulder, held on to the ladder, wielded the longbow with his right hand to block the arrow, then leaped back to the ground.

However, Zhang He had already aimed at this opportunity, and just when Yan Quan's feet had just landed on the ground, there was another "whoosh" sound.

"You're not going to die this time?"

Yan Quan sensed the fierce murderous intent above his head and cried out in his heart that something was wrong. It was too late to dodge, so he could only roll on the ground and barely avoid it.

However, before he could rejoice, the second arrow followed.

Yan Quan was greatly surprised when the third arrow shot towards him.

"What, this jaw can fire so quickly?"

On the city gate, Zhang He was extremely proud.

"I have just learned the art of continuous shooting. I am just starting to practice it. I would like to ask General Yan to teach me."

Yan Quan was now completely desperate.

"This is a bad decision. It looks like I, Yan Quan, will die here today..."

The thought flashed through his mind, but time was so short that he had no time to dodge.

"puff……"

After an arrow pierced his right thigh, its force had not yet been exhausted and it continued to fly forward. Yan Quan was unable to resist and was directly carried forward by the arrow and nailed to the ground.

"Lu Ning..."

When the generals around saw this scene, their eyes turned red and they cried out in agony.

Zhang He looked at the third arrow and a victorious smile appeared on his face.

"I had anticipated this before I shot the arrow. This arrow will definitely go straight through your head."

He was feeling smug and was looking forward to seeing Yan Quan's brain explode. The arrow shot towards the back of Yan Quan's head at a high speed and was about to hit it.

At this moment, there was another sound of "whoosh...", and an arrow that was obviously longer came from afar. It was obviously shot later than Zhang He's arrow, but it arrived first and directly hit Zhang He's arrow.

However, what surprised Zhang He the most, and even frightened him a little, was that this arrow not only hit his own arrow, but also did not bounce it off. Instead, it went straight through the middle of the arrow and split it into two pieces!

Almost in the next moment, three arrows were fired at the same time. One arrow pierced through Zhang He's other arrow, and the other two arrows hit the other two Jizhou soldiers on the city gate who were about to shoot arrows down.

Just as Zhang He was about to look carefully in the direction from which the arrow came, he saw the fourth arrow coming towards him. Shocked, he quickly squatted and heard the arrow hit the wooden pillar behind him.

He stood up and took a look. Nearly half of the arrow was embedded in the wooden pillar. This made Zhang He extremely frightened and a chill rose to his feet.

"Hiss... Who is this person? He has such a sharp archery skill. Even if Yang Youji were reborn or Li Guang were resurrected, they would only be as good as him!"

Yan Quan originally closed his eyes and waited for death. After a long time, he found that he was safe and sound. He opened his eyes and saw the two arrows falling on both sides of him.

"This is……"

He suddenly thought of something and looked in one direction with great surprise.

I saw a group of people and horses appearing on a small hill not far away, and a figure was holding a longbow and pointing towards the city gate.

"It's him, it's General Ye Xiang, General Ye Xiang is here!"
