Chapter 358: Defeat Huang Zu and Compete with Huang Zhong in Archery

Huang Zu strode forward, jumped off the school platform, took the halberd handed by the deputy general under the school platform, and walked quickly to Taishi Ci. Taishi Ci no longer used the sword, leaned it on the ground, and pulled out the two halberds from his waist. .

"I've heard the name of Old General Huang for a long time, so it's only right that I ask the old General for advice."

Taishi Ci also became serious. There was no need to be serious when dealing with some second-rate or third-rate generals, but Huang Zu was different. No matter what, he was still a veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time, so he still had to have the proper attitude.

"please!"

Huang Zu is holding a double-edged halberd, with a wisp of red tassel on the tip of the halberd fluttering in the wind.

"please!"

Taishi Ci held the halberd with both hands, and the halberd turned in his hands, showing its sharpness.

Both sides took action almost at the same time. The double-edged halberd brought up a white light in the air. The dazzling white light hit Taishi Ci. Taishi Ci avoided its sharp edge. The double-edged halberd was not good at close combat, let alone Huang Zu. This kind of master still uses a large-opening weapon like a big halberd.

Huang Zu rose into the air, spinning his body in the air, driving the halberd to rotate. The red tassel on the tip of the halberd drove the white light, like a galaxy hanging from the sky, falling from the sky. Taishi Ci no longer evaded, and the two halberds turned in his hands, fiercely He threw the two halberds one after the other, then pulled out two halberds from behind and rushed towards Huang Zu.

The first thrown hand halberd was split open as soon as it hit Huang Zu's big halberd. The next one came in an instant. Huang Zu was forced to withdraw the already prepared big halberd, and turned it into a gear to block the second hand halberd. The halberd was pushed aside. Although the attack was resolved, his own attack was also forced to break.

Taishi Ci followed closely behind, thrusting his halberd horizontally, and kept attacking. Although the halberd was opened and closed, after Taishi Ci got close to him, the advantage of the euphorbia was gone. He could only passively block it, and was blocked by Taishi Ci. The attacks like raindrops forced them to retreat.

"Sweep in all directions!"

Huang Zu suddenly shouted low, stepped back with his right foot, held the tail end of the euphorbia in his right hand, bent his body to the left, and in a strange posture, swept the euphorbia from left to right, and the dazzling white light was drawn out, A huge white light flew out, and Taishi Ci used his double halberds to push forward, and then blocked the blow.

After the distance between the two people was widened, the advantage of Huang Zu's halberd was once again displayed. Between the stabs and sweeps, Tai Shici was restrained three steps away by Huang Zu's attack and could not get closer.

Seeing this, Taishi Ci no longer passively defended, and took a few steps back. At the same time, he repeated his old trick, threw out the double halberds, took off the big bow from behind, drew the bow and nocked an arrow. The moment the arrow left the string, the bow and arrow As it bounced and shot out, there was a sharp sound of breaking through the air, followed by several more sounds of breaking through the air.

After shooting a few arrows, Taishi Ci ran wildly with his bow, swung his big bow and attacked Huang Zu. After Huang Zu knocked away a few arrows, a figure appeared in front of him, and the bow was already placed on Huang Zu. On his neck, if Taishi Ci had used a hand halberd and his subordinates hadn't appreciated it, he would have had his head in a different place now.

This time, the expression on Liu Biao's face became even more exciting. He originally thought that Huang Zu would definitely win if he took action, but he did not expect that Huang Zu would be defeated by Taishi Ci in such a short period of time.

"Hahahaha, the general is really powerful. I wonder what his name is?"

"General Huang, I'm Tai Shici, named Ziyi, from Huang County, Donglai."

Taishi Ci had already withdrawn his big bow, put it on his back again, cupped his hands towards Huang Zu, and Huang Zu patted Taishi Ci on the shoulder.

"Okay! Ziyi's great work!"

Huang Zu did not hesitate to praise him, and then waved his hand to Huang Zhong behind him.

"What's the matter? Your clan uncle was defeated by someone using archery. You, the master archer of Jiangxia Huang clan, didn't say anything?"

Huang Zhong smiled slightly when he heard this, and also jumped off the school platform and came to the two of them.

"General Taishi, I am Huang Zhong, courtesy name Hansheng. My kung fu is not as good as my uncle's, and naturally I am not as good as the general. I just saw the general's arrows. They are quite powerful, accurate and powerful. I am stupid and know a little bit about archery. I hope I can compete with the general in archery."

Of course, Huang Zhong said these words out of self-effacement. His martial arts was definitely higher than Huang Zu's, but it was just hard to refute his uncle's reputation, so he asked for a test of archery skills.

Taishi Ci and Huang Zhong were both famous for their archery skills, but they had no chance to compete in history, so there was no distinction between them. Although in later generations, Huang Zhong was ranked slightly higher than Taishi Ci. , but now, Tai Shici has the bonus from Gu Rubing's virtue characteristics. It's hard to say who is stronger between the two. Even Gu Rubing wants to know which of them is stronger.

"Okay, then as the general said, let's compete in archery."

The two of them bowed their hands to each other.

Soon, the venue for the competition between the two was set up. Huang Zhong and Tai Shici stood side by side, and Huang Zhong was the first to speak.

"I have long heard that General Taishi and Lu Bu are famous for shooting halberds at the gate. I have long wanted to learn archery from the general, and now I finally have the opportunity."

"General Huang's reputation as the God of Archery has been passed down to this day. I think if General Huang had been here that day, Lu Bu and I would not have been the only ones shooting halberds at the gate."

Taishi Ci nodded and said with a smile, they are both heroes and heroes cherish each other.

"General Taishi, please invite me first."

Huang Zhong stretched out his hand and withdrew, letting Taishi Ci shoot the arrow first. In the first round, the two competed on strength. Three hundred meters, five hundred meters, and seven hundred meters away, there was a straw man wearing armor. Standing against the wind, they need to shoot three arrows, targeting three straw men respectively to see who has more power.

Taishi Ci stood on the spot, took a deep breath, raised a pair of ape arms, held a bow in one hand, and an arrow in the other. A big bow was instantly pulled into the state of a full moon, and an arrow left the string with a roar, like a A ray of cold light, wrapped with unparalleled power, instantly penetrated the armored straw man three hundred meters away. After the arrow penetrated the straw man, it flew forward several hundred meters before landing on the ground. To be precise, the arrow The arrow did not fall to the ground, but stood on the ground, and the arrowhead sank into the ground.

"Okay! Hahaha."

Liu Biao said while applauding that he had naturally heard the story of Taishi Ci and Lu Bu shooting halberds at the gate. At the beginning, he was still a little worried, fearing that Huang Zhong's archery skills would no longer be Taishi Ci's opponent. There really is no place to put this face of mine.

Now it seems that Taishi Ci did have some attainments in archery, but compared to Huang Zhong, he should be a little worse.

"General Taishi is good at archery."

Huang Zhong also applauded and said that compared to Liu Biao's hypocrisy, Huang Zhong's approval was much more genuine. After all, it is too difficult to meet someone whose archery skills are as good as his own. Heroes cherish each other. Love is vivid and vivid at this moment.

"General Huang, Miao likes it."

Taishi Ci cupped his hands to Huang Zhong and said, "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and this is exactly what happened between them."

Huang Zhong stepped forward, picked up the big bow, took a deep breath and stood still, and drew the bow like a full moon.

If the arrow shot by Taishi Ci is like a cold light, then Huang Zhong's arrow is more like a flame. Wherever the arrow passes, dust is flying, and in almost a blink of an eye, the arrow has penetrated It penetrated through the straw man's chest, and the same thing passed through. A hole one finger wide appeared in the straw man's chest. The arrow not only penetrated through, but also opened a hole in the straw man's chest.

Like Taishi Ci, after the arrow penetrated, it still flew forward several hundred meters before stopping. Although the distance it flew was not as far as Taishi Ci, the wound caused was much larger.

The two then shot at the straw man 500 meters away, which also passed through the chest. This time, the distance between the two arrows was about the same. The real winner or lose was determined by the last straw man 700 meters away.

Seven hundred meters away, to the naked eye, there was only a small black dot. It was impossible to see clearly, let alone aim and hit. It was still Taishi Ci who made the first move. This time, even Taishi Ci could not help but feel a little confused. They were nervous. The last time they shot a halberd from the gate, the distance was not that far. Although the target was larger, they also had to test their strength, which was more stressful than shooting a halberd from the gate.

Taishi Ci shook his arm and stared at the straw men seven hundred meters away from him. The bows they used were the standard bows of the Jingzhou Army. It would be easier if they used their own bows.

Bent the bow and nocked the arrow, Taishi Ci aimed at the small black spot in the distance. As Taishi Ci released his right hand, the arrow burst out from the bow string with a bang. That was the sound of the bow string being released after it was fully drawn. Leaping through the air, accompanied by a rapid and explosive sound of sonic boom, the arrow streaked across the school grounds like a meteor, and shot straight into the straw man's chest. After the arrow penetrated the straw man's chest, it stayed on the straw man's body. on, but couldn't pass through directly.

Taishi Ci exhaled. This kind of shooting that requires high-intensity hitting and concentration consumes more physical energy than usual archery. Fortunately, with the blessing of his special characteristics, he was able to survive after repeated battles and bow and arrow competitions. There is no main reason for exhaustion.

After Huang Zhong saw Tai Shici's arrow, he couldn't help but feel a little pressure in his heart. Huang Zhong closed his eyes and concentrated, holding the bow in one hand, holding the arrow between his two fingertips. The moment Huang Zhong opened his eyes, he stood in front of Huang Zhong. Tai Shici beside Zhong only felt a ray of light shooting out of Huang Zhong's eyes.

Huang Zhong shot the arrow almost instantly. The speed was so fast that it was difficult to see with the naked eye. A red light spread from Huang Zhong to the straw man suddenly appeared, and then slowly disappeared. The straw man 700 meters away was already gone. It exploded and ceased to exist.

After taking a long breath, Huang Zhong slowly put down his bow and arrow.

"General Huang is truly a superb archer."

Taishi Ci said sincerely, admiring Huang Zhong from the bottom of his heart.

"General Taishi was joking. Han Sheng was just using tricks to barely defeat the general."

Huang Zhong had no secrets. The arrow he just shot was an arrow shot by his skills, so it was so powerful, but it was accurate, so Huang Zhong won this battle.

A smile finally appeared on Liu Biao's face.

"General Taishi is still very powerful, but he met Han Sheng."

Seeing Liu Biao's proud smile, Gu Rubing couldn't help but smile and shake his head. Now he finally knew why a little Cai Mao and his concubine Cai Shi could play with Liu Biao in the palm of their hands.

In the second game, the two sides competed at a moving target. After all, on the battlefield, no one will stand still and let you shoot, so the second game between the two was to shoot at a porcelain plate thrown into the air by the soldiers. There were ten arrows in total. Whoever shoots more wins.

"Ordinary soldiers don't have enough physical strength, and the porcelain plates they throw are not fast enough. Why don't you let me throw them for you two?"

Before the competition began, Huang Zu volunteered to throw porcelain plates for Taishi Ci and Huang Zhong.

"That's very good, but I have to trouble General Huang."

"I'm sorry for bothering you uncle."

Both of them agreed. After all, there were not many opportunities to truly show off their strength, let alone an opponent who was almost the same as themselves.

So Huang Zu took off his armor and threw porcelain plates for the two men in this weather before the spring equinox. Huang Zu was not particularly sturdy, and even because of his old age, his muscles began to loosen a little. Combined with the scars of various sizes on his body, people could not help but question whether this body had enough strength.

But the next moment, they completely abandoned this idea. Huang Zu held the porcelain plate upside down, then swung his arm and threw it out. The porcelain plate flew out like a cannonball at a very fast speed. The next moment, there was a crisp "ding" sound, and the porcelain plate shattered. It was Taishi Ci who shot an arrow and shattered the porcelain plate from the air.

Huang Zhong had already drawn the bow, but the arrow was still on the string and had not been shot. Without giving the two a chance to react, Huang Zu threw another flying disc, and there was another "ding" sound. This time Huang Zhong hit it.

"Hahaha, keep going!"

Huang Zu laughed, holding three porcelain plates in each hand, and threw out six porcelain plates one after another. All six porcelain plates were broken, and the two shot three arrows in a row.

The agreed competition was more like a performance show for the two. Both sides had six arrows in their hands. Huang Zu threw twelve porcelain plates afterwards, and the two hit ten out of ten. Even if the porcelain plates thrown by Huang Zu were so fast that they were hard to see with the naked eye, the two still hit them one by one.

"Hahaha, good! Good! Good! It's really wonderful!"

Gu Rubing couldn't help but applaud. The fight between the two was really wonderful. At the same time, Gu Rubing also sighed at Huang Zhong's archery. He was not particularly sure how strong Huang Zhong was, but he knew exactly how strong Taishi Ci was. He was able to defeat Taishi Ci in the first round and tie in the second round, which showed that Huang Zhong was slightly better in archery.

"In the third round, we will compete in horseback archery."

Archers are generally divided into two types, horseback archers and standing archers. The most essential difference between the two is that one is riding a horse and the other is standing. Horseback archery is definitely more difficult, after all, it is to hit the target in a fast movement. Taishi Ci is an excellent horseback archer and can adapt to various horseback shooting.

This time, the competition of horseback archery is to see who can hit more targets more accurately in the same time while riding a horse. Whoever wins will win.

Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci both got on their horses. At this moment, a pile of wooden stakes has been placed on the parade ground. Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci rode their horses from the east to the west. In the time when the war horses ran through the pile of wooden stakes, whoever hits more wooden stakes will be the winner in the third round.

The feathers on the tail of the arrow on Huang Zhong's back are painted yellow, while the feathers on the tail of the arrow on Taishi Ci's back are white. The two colors are used to distinguish the arrows shot by the two people, and finally compare the number of tree stakes hit.

It was Taishi Ci who started again. Riding on his horse, Taishi Ci silently moved his arms and slung the quiver on his back across his body to make it easier to draw arrows.
