Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 516 How Can You Say 'No'!
Among the Zhou rituals, there are only three shots.But the current situation is obviously not something that can be solved with three shots.First of all, Xu Huang and Cao Hong haven't reached their limit yet, and the two protagonists have to make their final appearances.More importantly, before the outcome is decided, both sides will not just taste it.

Even though both parties keep saying that "friendship comes first, competition comes second" and follow etiquette, but in fact, this slogan sounds like nonsense to Liu Xie: competitions are meant to be won or lost competitively. Can I treat you to dinner...

Therefore, Liu Xie directly waved his hands in response to such a situation and said, "Although we started with etiquette, we are now on the verge of getting ready. Don't be too rigid about ancient etiquette in everything."

"I would like to obey the sacred edict." Cao Cao bowed his head slightly, smiled at Liu Xie, and expressed his deep agreement with his words.

Afterwards, Xun Yu and Xun You ordered people to clean up the scene and started shooting four times.However, to choose how far to shoot this time, they had to discuss with Xu Huang and Cao Hong.

"150 steps!" Xu Huang Haikou had already boasted, but at this moment, even with tears in his eyes, he still had to stand up.Moreover, he still has his own careful thinking: when it comes to the third shot, he will play first, and when it comes to the fourth shot, Cao Hong should come on the field first.At that time, if Cao Hong missed the shot, even if he missed it afterwards, there would be nothing to be ashamed of.

"150 steps is 150 steps!" Of course Cao Hong knew that the current situation was not good for him, but who made him a man?At this time, no matter what, you can't lose your momentum.

After the three drums, Cao Hongqing bowed and appeared on the stage, but when he stood at the shooting mark and took a deep breath, Xia Houyuan came over and patted Cao Hong on the shoulder, and whispered a whisper to Cao Hong's ear.Then Cao Hong's face showed a touch of joy, and he took a special look at Xu Huang.

Afterwards, Cao Hong fully displayed the demeanor of a professional archer. Even outsiders could see his breath-holding posture. He seemed to have completely calmed down as soon as he put his fingers on the bowstring. ...

After that, with the sudden collapse of the bowstring, everyone felt their hearts beating accordingly.The off-string arrow was like a shooting star piercing through the wind, and with the whistling sound of the arrow, it reached the target in an instant.

One hit!
The tail feathers were still trembling endlessly.

Although the arrow didn't completely break through the target, it still counted as a result.

Xu Huang's eyeballs seemed to stare out at that moment. It's not like he didn't try 150 steps during his usual training, but the probability of hitting was only about one tenth.At such a distance, the exhaustion of physical strength, the influence of wind speed, and the moment of enlightenment will all become the key to victory or defeat.

Xu Huang didn't think that Cao Hong's shooting skills were much better than his own, but he couldn't help looking at Zhao Yun at the side: Xia Houyuan had whispered to Cao Hong before, and obviously told Cao Hong some tricks, and he hoped that he could also do it now. With Zhao Yun's advice, at least sharpen your guns before the battle, and you will be happy if you are unhappy.

But even though Zhao Yun also walked up to Xu Huang, he only said softly to Xu Huang: "Shoot well, you can do it."

Xu Huang quit immediately, and pulled Zhao Yun not to let him go: "Zilong, I also know that if you tell me the secret, you are suspected of stealing the teacher, but now we are trying to win glory for His Majesty, you can't cherish yourself at this time! ..."

"General Xu thinks that Xiahou Miaocai's words just now can give Cao Zilian a godlike help?"

"Of course, otherwise, how could he sweep away his worries and hit him with an arrow?"

"If General Xu thinks this way, it's just in their plan. Archery takes years of hard work, and there is no shortcut. It's even more impossible to enlighten people with one word... The two of them just deliberately shook the general's self-confidence. .”

Xu Huang's eyebrows were fixed, and he understood Zhao Yun's meaning at that time: the Cao family is really very cunning.I just thought that the first one to go forward and shoot might miss, but I didn't expect that they would turn their disadvantages into advantages.

With Xia Houyuan's action just now, even if Cao Hong misses the shot, Xu Huang will think that Cao Hong has got some tricks, and he will definitely be able to hit it next time.However, Cao Hong was lucky this time, and if he hit an arrow, it made him even more suspicious.Sure enough, he is indeed a person from a big family, and his routine is to play deeply...

Fortunately, after Xu Huang was untied from this knot, he no longer worried too much.Knowing that even if he loses, there is still Zhao Yun.Therefore, when he stood on the shooting mark, his heart suddenly calmed down.The tiger's eyes stared at the archery target in the distance without blinking. When he somehow realized that the gray-white arrow was parallel to the archery target, at that seemingly unreal moment, he suddenly let go!

"Successful! We got it!" Xun Yu exclaimed, with an incredible tone of voice.

This time, Xu Huang seemed to be shocked by himself, laughing so hard that his teeth could not see his face.You Qi raised his eyebrows provocatively at Cao Hong and Xia Houyuan when he was leaving the stage: Don't be smart, our handsome Mr. Zilong has already seen through your little tricks.Isn't it just luck, I'm a close minister of the emperor, that's God's darling, you can't compare to this...

After that, Cao Hong seemed to be blinded by Xu Huang, after all, he didn't know that Xu Huang's shot was also blinded this time.So, in the second round, everyone could see that Cao Hong had been aiming for a lot longer than the first time, and Shen Ning's expression was also a little anxious.

Therefore, the arrow flew out without touching the target, attracting sighs from the crowd.

But Xu Huang learned a little experience from it: this long-range shot still requires a lot of skill. For example, the action of drawing the bow is an explosive force. Arms trembling.And as long as the wrist is shaken by a tiny bit, the shot arrow will deviate eight feet from the target. The old saying "Missing by a tiny bit, making a mistake by a thousand miles" comes from here.

Therefore, when Xu Huang played again, he paid special attention to shooting quickly, and shot decisively after finding the feeling between the consonances. In this way, he shot accurately...

With the second arrow, Xu Huang hit the target again. When he finished, he seemed to be unable to walk anymore.

In the third round, both Cao Hong and Xu Huang missed the target, but Xu Huang is currently in the lead and was still very upset when he left.

This is the way things are in the world, the more you want to accomplish something, the more you feel that you have to put in too much effort, the more you will run counter to your goal.Therefore, in the fourth round, Cao Hong missed the target again, and Xu Huang really hit the target again like a god.

After four rounds of shooting, Cao Cao's face was completely dark, but he had to maintain his demeanor on the scene.This feeling made him extremely uncomfortable.In addition, the expressions of those subordinates behind him who still wanted to figure out his thoughts were even more ugly.

"Your Majesty, I still have a merciless request..."

"Sure." Before Cao Cao finished speaking, Liu Xie agreed with a wave of his sleeve robe: Didn't he just want to use Xia Houyuan to win the game, and people on earth will soon know about it.Since you want to lose, I will let you lose to the end!
But even with the confidence of a complete victory, Xia Houyuan's appearance still shocked Liu Xie a lot.Because the first sentence he spoke was: "Move the target fifty steps back."

After another fifty steps, there will be two hundred steps. This is already the limit of the arrow distance that Liu Xie knows. Such a distance is not just as simple as the shock of the competition field.This means that when the two armies are facing each other, the safe distance of [-] steps is no longer safe.And usually when the two armies are facing each other, the person who will talk is often the commander in chief of the two armies...

It is conceivable that if Liu Xie and Cao Cao face each other again, a cold arrow will be shot from Cao Jun's formation.Even if Liu Xie is not shot to death, if Liu Xie is injured, what kind of morale blow will it cause to the entire army in this era when the commander in chief is the bravest soul of an army! ...

The existence of such sharpshooters has become an issue that needs to be listed separately when formulating tactics.The more so, Xia Houyuan's indifferent words at this time will make all the Han people's faces change.

Liu Xie's brows slowly frowned, but he could not refuse this reason at all. He could only wait for Xia Houyuan's stunning arrow to see whether he was confident or wanted to cheat.

After all, after a shot, there are four chances.If Xia Houyuan only hit one arrow, the probability is more than one-fourth, which is still acceptable.

Unexpectedly, after the target was moved, Xia Houyuan added another sentence: "Your Majesty, since you don't need to stick to the ancient etiquette, you don't need to count the four arrows. I'll decide the winner with one arrow, okay?"

When Liu Xie heard this, he really wanted to cry: Can he say 'no'?

Not at all!

How can you say 'no', man?
