The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

"Tch, it's only thirty steps, let me see how capable you are."

Tai Shici was attracted by Zhou Cang's words, and after the target moved away, Zhou Cang took out his own bow and arrow, a beef tendon bow, and without further ado, he raised his hand and shot an arrow, decisively and ferociously, It shot directly at the target eighty steps away.

The arrow was in Zhou Cang's hand, and it flew out at such a speed that Liu Zheng couldn't see it clearly with his naked eyes. He only saw a slight ding from the archery target eighty steps away.

A bare arrow hit the archery target, and the entire arrow pierced into the target, completely motionless.

And, hit the heart.

Eighty steps away, he hit the red heart on the target and won the championship in one fell swoop.

With a swipe, the onlookers were all amazed.

"Tsk tsk, amazing, hit the heart directly!"

"General Zhou Cang is too powerful, hit!"

"Red heart! Hit the red heart in eighty steps, my God!"

The sergeants who were watching all around immediately let out a sound of exclamation. Zhou Cang couldn't help but feel a little elated by such praise.

"Hahaha, everyone, I have accepted it."

Zhou Cang was also extremely excited when he hit the bull's-eye with his arrow. Although there was some luck in this kind of archery, Zhou Cang himself was very satisfied with his archery this time.

Originally, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, who came from Lin Yiguo to participate in the competition, were somewhat confident in their archery skills, but after seeing Zhou Cang's archery skills, their faces immediately became ugly.

"I didn't expect Liu Zheng to have such a master of archery under his command."

Cheng Pu whispered something to Huang Gai beside him.

Huang Gai's expression was not good, because for him, Zhou Cang's archery skills were not the most terrifying. He knew that under Liu Zheng, there was another person with even better archery skills, and this person was Huang Zhong.

At the beginning, Huang Zhong was the helper invited by Qin Jie, and Qin Jie and Zhonglang general Zhu Jun dealt with Nanyang's Zhang Mancheng together.

Sun Jian and Zhu Jun once encircled and suppressed the Yellow Turban Army there, and it was at that time that he heard of Huang Zhong's name.

It's just that I haven't seen it before, and now Huang Zhong is surprised by Zhou Cang's archery before he makes a move.

"Okay, Brother Zhou Cang, I never thought that you also have such powerful archery skills."

At this time, after the arrow shot by Zhou Cang hit the bull's-eye, Liu Zheng couldn't help looking at Zhou Cang a few times. Let him know a lot about Zhou Cang, after all, he was one of the first few generals who followed him. One, it's just that Liu Zheng has always regarded Zhou Cang as a second-rate general.

After all, Zhou Cang's martial arts are here, not enough compared to the top, but more than the bottom. He can't beat Xu Huang, Gan Ning and others, but he can crush some small characters who are not popular.

For a long time, Liu Zheng thought that Zhou Cang's strength was second-rate, but he didn't expect that he was also good at archery.

"Haha, thank you, my lord, for your praise, next."

Zhou Cang was flattered by Liu Zheng's praise, and he was even more happy, so he immediately yelled casually to let other people around him go up to the competition.

The second one to appear was Su Fei under Liu Zheng.

Su Fei was not to be outdone, seeing Zhou Cang's performance, he walked up quickly, picked up the bow and arrow next to him, and shot an arrow at the target eighty steps away.

The arrow, as expected, also landed on the target. After all, those who dare to participate in the competition must have some confidence in their own archery skills.

Chapter 4: Huang Gai's Archery

Although Su Fei's arrow also landed on the target, it didn't hit the bull's-eye.

The arrow was two inches away from the red dot on the bull's-eye.Although this is also called a hit, it is still a bit far from Zhou Cang's direct hit on the bull's-eye.

"Eight points!"

Yuan Zhou, who was in charge of coordinating the score in the distance, immediately shouted and reported the score of Su Fei's shooting.

After hearing the score, Su Fei didn't show a bit of frustration on his face, but smiled instead.

Looking at Zhou Cang beside him, he began to tease.

"General Zhou Cang is still better than you! I can't do it, I only got 8 points!"

From Su Fei's words, Liu Zheng also knew that although he only got 8 points, he was quite satisfied with his score of 8 points.

"Haha, General Su Fei, you are also very good, only two points behind me! You must work harder next time!"

After Su Fei's performance ended, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai's expressions became even more ugly.

Before the other generals stepped forward to compete, the veteran Cheng Pu immediately stepped forward.

"My lord, let me come next."

Cheng Pu stepped forward and said something to the many generals.

He was worried that the more he went to the back, the more masters there would be. For a person like him with average archery skills, if his marks were too low, it would be inevitable that some people would be embarrassed, so he wanted to show off his skills first.

The generals under Liu Zheng are very easy-going, and no one will fight for it. Cheng Pu wants to try first, and everyone has no objection, so after Cheng Pu speaks, everyone waits and sees, waiting for Cheng Pu to start performing.

Cheng Pu was the third to start shooting. He took out a bow and arrow that he had brought with him. The bow and arrow were not big, but short and powerful. Pull it away.

Cheng Pu's face was tense, and his eyes were fixed on the front. The bow and arrow had been in his hand for a long time. Everyone looked at Cheng Pu expectantly, waiting for Cheng Pu's arrow.

It was precisely because there were so many onlookers that made Cheng Pu a little nervous.

But at least he is a battle-tested person, so he can hold on to this point of battle. At the moment when he felt that the arrow could hit, Cheng Pu suddenly let go of his hand.

The arrow flew out at this moment, and instantly turned into a stream of light.

With a bang, there was a sound from the archery target eighty steps away.

Zhou Cang and Su Fei didn't make such a loud sound when they were shooting arrows before. Only Cheng Pu's arrow made the target make such a loud sound.

Liu Zheng opened his eyes wide. Although he knew a little about Cheng Pu, he knew that Cheng Pu would be a veteran of the three generations of the Sun family in the Eastern Wu Dynasty. , defeated Dong Zhuo; rescued Sun Ce, settled Jiangdong; he was present in the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Nanjun.

But Liu Zheng didn't know how good his archery skills were.

"Four points!"

Yuan Zhou in the distance yelled and told Cheng Pu's achievements. When everyone looked at Cheng Pu expectantly, a burst of ridicule immediately broke out.

"Only four points, tsk tsk."

"Four points, it's okay, at least I didn't miss the target."

After all, Cheng Pu is not Liu Zheng's direct descendant. Among Liu Zheng's generals, he is naturally not friendly. A long time ago, there were some people who fought against him on the battlefield, and they were regarded as enemies. That's why they got four points for seeing Cheng Pu. It's not bad for the others to taunt directly without opening their mouths.

"sharp."

"Half of the arrows pierced into the target, the force is very strong!"

Just after Yuan Zhou told Cheng Pu's achievements, when Cheng Pu's expression became a little uneasy, Yuan Zhou spoke again to relieve Cheng Pu.

At this time, everyone looked at the arrow again, and they found out that the arrow had penetrated deeply into the target, and only one-third of it was still exposed.

Even Zhou Cang only pierced a third of it at the beginning, and although Cheng Pu's aim was a little off, but in terms of strength, it was definitely much stronger than Zhou Cang's.

"General Cheng Pu, his archery skills are extraordinary, formidable!"

Liu Zheng didn't want to embarrass Cheng Pu too much. The purpose of this event was to ease the relationship between everyone, so he still stood up and praised Cheng Pu.

Cheng Pu heard Liu Zheng's praise. Although the expression on his face looked a little better, he still felt a little bit bitter about his only four points.

"Next, let me do it."

Seeing that Cheng Pu didn't show off the prestige of the Sun family, Huang Gai calmly opened his mouth again, and the next shot was the fourth one.

Although Huang Gai was imprisoned by Liu Zheng for more than half a year in the dungeon, his martial arts skills were not wasted. When he was in the dungeon, Liu Zheng did not put chains on him, but only imprisoned his freedom. There's some exercise in there, so the martial arts haven't backed down.

With Cheng Pu's failure, he wanted to continue to attack, hoping to save the prestige of those who later turned to Liu Zheng.

He didn't take the bow and arrow prepared by Liu Zheng here, but took Cheng Pu's iron bow casually, and then decisively faced the wind, and shot an arrow.

The arrow flew out with a puff, and landed on the target smoothly.

Finally he held his breath again, wanting to see that Huang Gai's archery skills are so good.

"Hit the heart!"

When Yuan Zhou's words came again, the people around all looked at Huang Gai.

What he cast was a look of surprise, a look of approval, and a few high glances at these generals who later joined Liu Zheng's camp.

"Awesome, I didn't expect you to be able to hit the red heart, General Huang Gai is amazing!"

After a while of surprise, Zhou Cang was the first to greet Huang Gai. Zhou Cang spoke to Huang Gai in such a way that he actually admitted Huang Gai in his heart.

After all, they had known Huang Gai for a long time, and when Huang Gai was captured, it was Zhou Cang and others who went to capture him.

They, who admire the strong, finally accepted Huang Gai and others at this time.

Looking at his score, Huang Gai nodded to the people around him contentedly, and finally looked at the generals around him with satisfaction.

Even Cheng Pu is lucky, fortunately, fortunately, there is Huang Gai, otherwise they will really lose face when they come to compete this time.

After Huang Gai went down, the next contestants were Wenpin, Zhou Chao, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and others.

A few of them know some archery skills, but their level can only be regarded as medium.

Except for Jiang Qin, who scored nine points alone, the scores of the others were all between three and seven points, so they barely passed.

Chapter 4 and Four: The Blockbuster Gan Ning

Finally, after Wenpin was the last to shoot his own arrow and scored seven points, there were only three generals left on Liu Zheng's side.

Xu Huang, Gan Ning, Huang Zhong.

Gan Ning's strength all along is obvious to all. In Liu Zhengjun, martial arts is definitely the second and third strength, not to mention the first.

His status has also gradually improved in Liu Zheng's army with the years of fighting in the South and North. He has been promoted from a mere water thief to the current position of commander of the third battalion. Gan Ning is still treated by others. Very admirable.

Seeing that everyone had finished shooting, only Xu Huang and Huang Zhong were left, Gan Ning couldn't wait, Gan Ning's archery skills, he knew, was slightly inferior to Xu Huang and Huang Zhong's.

Therefore, Gan Ning wanted to show his performance before these two great gods made a move, otherwise, when Xu Huang and Huang Zhong made a move, the soldiers present applauded, but he would have nothing to do.

"Next, let me come first."

Gan Ning said something to Huang Zhong and Xu Huang beside him.

"Xingba, you go first, brother, I will let you go first."

Xu Huang didn't argue with Gan Ning, the two of them had a good relationship in private, and they got along with drinking.

Huang Zhong only smiled and didn't speak. From the beginning to the end, his face was indifferent, as if this archery competition didn't interest him at all.

Seeing that Huang Zhong and Xu Huang had no objections, Gan Ning walked out, while Tai Shici on the other side stood up nervously at this moment.

On Liu Zheng's side, what he cares most about is Gan Ning, because Tai Shici still doesn't know the strength of other people, he just knows Gan Ning's strength, and has always regarded Gan Ning as his strongest opponent.

He also worshiped Gan Ning as the biggest idol in Liu Zheng's army, so Gan Ning was about to come out to shoot arrows, and Tai Shici naturally wanted to know what Gan Ning's strength was like.

"Give me the position of the target, and move it another twenty steps!"

As soon as Gan Ning stood up, he immediately yelled loudly at Yuan Zhou in the distance.

"Move another twenty steps? That's a hundred steps away!"

After Yuan Zhou heard Gan Ning's words, he frowned and did not act rashly. After all, the distance of eighty steps already felt a little far to Yuan Zhou. If he continued to increase the distance, it would be time to truly show his level. But in case, if the shot is missed, Gan Ning will be ashamed.

"Mr. Yuan Zhou, move twenty steps."

Liu Zheng looked at Yuan Zhou, and when he saw that Yuan Zhou didn't act, he had already guessed something, so he immediately gave Yuan Zhou an order.

With Liu Zheng's opening, the doubt in Yuan Zhou's heart was forgotten. After all, Liu Zheng, the lord, had said it all, so it would be bad for him to have any doubts.

According to Liu Zheng's instructions, Yuan Zhou quickly moved the target back another [-] steps.

The distance of twenty steps is only about ten meters away, but the difficulty of the original archery shooting has increased a lot.

From a distance of fifty steps, one after another, it has now become a hundred steps. Above this distance, many people are already daunted.

Especially those archery masters selected at the beginning, most of these soldiers usually train at a distance of fifty steps, and those who exceed a hundred steps, this is not just a question of archery, there are many factors that can influence you the accuracy.

The wind, arc, and shooting ability of the bow and arrow can all affect whether you can hit the opponent. The most embarrassing thing is that you need to see the target a hundred steps away.

If the eyesight is not good, no matter how exquisite the archery is, it is impossible to hit the target.

Of course, Gan Ning dared to ask Yuan Zhou to push the distance to a hundred paces, so he was sure of it.

As Gan Ning stepped forward, he picked up his bow and set his arrow, and he aimed at the target a hundred paces away.

He didn't move at all, his eyes were fixed on the archery target, he raised his arrow and didn't shoot, everyone followed Gan Ning and stared at the archery target.

Everyone who had been waiting all this time became a little impatient. Gan Ning narrowed his eyes slightly, and then he released his hands holding the arrow lightly at this moment.
