Chapter 1131

Liu Bian and Yang Miaozhen brought everyone Sun Shangxiang and Shan Yingying to the school for the martial arts examination.

There are huge crowds of people outside the school grounds, besides the contestants, there are also a large number of onlookers.

Such a grand event is held in Pengcheng, it can be said that Pengcheng has not been so lively in hundreds of years.

The types of martial arts assessment this time have been reduced a lot.

There are only five events: infantry, horseback archery, infantry combat, horse combat, and strategic strategy. There are no restrictions on the entries for the contestants, as long as you are capable enough.

However, there is no assessment item for breaking the formation, because breaking the formation requires soldiers and horses to form an formation, which is too troublesome, and soldiers will be injured if they are not careful, so apart from the martial arts reported by Luoyang, there will be no formation breaking in the local area exam topic.

At the beginning, the assessment of infantry was carried out.

In early September, the moon and autumn are breezy, the temperature is suitable, the school grounds are full of archery targets, the shooter and the archery target are separated by fifty steps, no one distributes ten arrows, and the total number of rings is counted.

The common people gathered around the school grounds, applauding and cheering for those who hit the heart.

Liu Bian did not go into the school grounds, but stood on the sidelines to watch.

Most of the assessment rules were drawn up by Liu Bian.

There are a total of fifty targets on the school field, which can hold 50 people to shoot at a time, and one person needs to spend 5 minutes, and the assessment time is only in the morning and afternoon prime time, a total of nine hours.In one day, exactly 400 people can be assessed, which is equivalent to the total number of people participating in the martial arts assessment.

What's more, among all the contestants, some of them did not sign up for the infantry, so the infantry assessment can definitely be completed in one day.

When Liu Bian came, it happened that a group of people had finished their assessment and replaced with a new group of contestants.

Some of the fifty contestants walking down were elated, some shook their heads and sighed, and some even complained that the distance was too far, but Liu Bian didn't take it seriously. The distance of fifty steps, even the archers in the army, did not say that they hit [-]% Red hearts, but no one can miss.And none of these guys hit the target, so to speak?Not even qualified to join the army.

However, these people still have some skills to come all the way to Pengcheng to participate in the martial arts. In the previous round of 50 people, most of them hit the target, and most of them even hit the red heart.

Soon the next batch came up again, Liu Bian laughed when he saw that there were old acquaintances among them, it was Xue Xian and Zhu Neng whom he met a few days ago.

The two signed up together, so the number plates are next to each other, and so are the targets.

Seeing the two of them playing, Liu Bian couldn't help being a little interested, and watched with his hands clasped together.

It was the first time for Sun Shangxiang to see such a grand event, and she was also very interested. She stared at the contestants on the field intently, looking eager to try, eager to go up and show her skills.

And Shan Yingying looked around, wanting to see if his elder brother Shan Xiongxin was among the contestants.

On the field, Zhu Neng and Xue Xian were separated by only a few steps.

The two looked at each other, Xue Xian said: "Brother Zhu, you and I have known each other for several years, and we have been competing in martial arts for many years, and we have always been on par. This time, how about using a martial arts exercise to determine who is the best?"

"That's exactly what I mean!" Zhu Neng said with a smile.

The officer patrolled the contestants back and forth, explaining the rules and secrets: "Don't whisper, see if there is an hourglass in the middle, I will call start, the hourglass will leak sand, and then you can start shooting. When the hourglass is over, the timer will end and shooting is prohibited." So you must shoot ten arrows before the hourglass is over.

There are ten rings on the target, and the red dot in the center is ten, and so on. The result is not based on how well an arrow is shot, but only the total score. Hesitating, delaying the shooting of other arrows, affecting the total score, check the bow and arrow now, and start shooting later! "

These are actually no different from the exams of later generations. Before the exam, the invigilator explained the rules and experience, and after the test papers were handed out, the candidates were asked to check the test papers.Checking bows and arrows is actually the same as checking test papers.

The bows used by these contestants are all standard equipment in the military. Several contestants checked it out and said, "Examiner, this bow is too powerful, I can't draw it."

"Yes, examiner, we can't draw this bow, let's change it to a lighter one!"

The general's face darkened when he heard the words, and he shouted: "These bows are the standard equipment for soldiers in the army. All soldiers in our army can draw them. If you are too heavy to draw them, how can you be qualified to join the army? I'll say it again, bows It can be changed, but it can only be changed to a heavier one, not a lighter one, who wants to change it, hurry up!"

Since the martial arts is just the beginning, many things have to be explained by the examiner. It is estimated that after a few rounds, the contestants outside the court will not be like this after watching too much.

After hearing this, Sun Shangxiang couldn't help asking Liu Bian, "Your Majesty, how heavy are the bows they use?"

Liu Bian said in a low voice: "In my Han army, archers are divided into four grades. The lowest grade is fifty-step shooting with a bow of seven dou, followed by eight dou and nine-dou. The highest grade is shooting a hundred-step with a stone bow. , This is a master archer, who is generally selected into the god machine battalion of each army, serves as an officer, and is in charge of the training of archers!

The bow used for the assessment is the seven-double bow, which is the lowest configuration for archers in our army. If these people can't even draw the seven-double bow, let alone serve as generals, they don't even have the qualifications to join the army. "

Sun Shangxiang couldn't help being surprised and said: "A stone bow shoots a hundred steps. How many people can there be in this world? Your Majesty uses them as generals. Isn't that too condescending?"

Liu Bian couldn't help sneering and said: "Oh, I am a big man like this class of archers. If there are not ten thousand, there are eight thousand. There are many officers.

"Ah?" Sun Shangxiang couldn't help covering her mouth when she heard the words, her eyes were full of horror. Jiangdong is famous for its navy, and its soldiers are not good at riding and shooting. The only ones who can shoot a target with a hundred steps are some generals who are famous for their bravery. There are not even 100 people, but there are tens of thousands of big men, so what does brother Sun Ce have to fight against big men?

Thinking of this, Sun Shangxiang's heart sank involuntarily, her eyes were full of worry, and she, who was in a good mood, became depressed.

Liu Bian on the side noticed that Sun Shangxiang was not in a good mood, and planned to test her out, he couldn't help but said: "The reason why I held the martial arts is to form the Xu and Yu armies and prepare for the future attack on Jiangdong. It will take three to five years." , Jiangdong will be destroyed, and the world will be settled at that time."

"Don't..." After listening to Liu Bian's words, Sun Shangxiang's face turned pale, and she couldn't help crying.

"Huh? What did you say?" Liu Bian asked deliberately, pretending not to hear clearly.

Ren Yingying on the side quickly defended Sun Shangxiang: "Sister, she said that it would take three to five years. The big man is so powerful that Jiangdong can be pacified in one or two years."

Liu Bian shook his head and said: "No, no, I'm afraid it won't work in one or two years, but I still need three years. When the time comes, I will level up Soochow, and I will definitely make Sun Ce look good. This man lives on Hanlu, but he has repeatedly opposed me. It really bothered me a lot.”

Hearing what Liu Bian said, the miserable expression on Sun Shangxiang's face became even worse, and Shan Yingying beside her could only hold Sun Shangxiang's little hand to comfort her.

Liu Bian observed Sun Shangxiang secretly, seeing that he only had a worried look on his face and did not show any hostility towards him, so he felt a little relieved.

On the school grounds, following the officer's stern reprimand, many contestants who disliked the bow's pull being too strong immediately fell silent.Most of the contestants did not request to change their bows, but there were some who requested a bow with a stronger bow.

"Examiner, please give me a three-stone bow!"

"Instructor, change me to a nine-dou bow!"

There were quite a few people who asked to change their bows, there were about a dozen of them, most of them wanted to change bows of eight dou or nine dou, few people wanted to change bows with more than stones, but two people asked for bows of three stones.

These two are naturally Xue Xian and Zhu Neng.

The general saw that the two were going to change the three-stone bow, so he couldn't help but look at the two more, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what kind of bow you use, it will only count the number of targets, and it will not increase the overall score because of it. You should think about it carefully." gone."

The two nodded and said, "We've figured it out!"

The general shook his head and ordered the soldiers: "Change bows for them!"

But after a while, everyone's bows were replaced, and the inspection was completed. Seeing this, the general shouted loudly: "Start shooting, prepare to release sand!"

Following an order from the general, the soldiers suddenly turned the hourglass around and started counting again.The contestants, on the other hand, bent their bows and set up arrows to shoot.
