Chapter 6 The gap between the competition
At the beginning of Si, the competition officially began.
There were three rounds in total, and the winner in two rounds was the winner of the competition.
The first round is riding and shooting.
Each side will produce 10 people, and will complete a lap on horseback within the specified time. During this period, they will also shoot arrows on the horse. Each person will shoot 10 arrows.
If the specified time exceeds the specified time, the score will be invalid. In the end, which side has more targets will win.
The 10 people sent by the city defense army were carefully selected, and several of them were middle-level generals, and their cavalry and shooting skills were also quite famous in Yudu. The Qu Chu army sent ten ordinary soldiers who were unknown.
Ning Youbei gently touched Qu Chu's elbow, "Why don't you send a few powerful people?"
Qu Chu glanced at the off-site, "It's enough to deal with them."
Ning Youbei stopped talking.
He didn't know the strength of Qu Chu's army at all, but he was sure of Qu Chu's understanding.
During the competition, Qu Chu was very calm, and only occasionally glanced at the audience, and spent the rest of the time drinking.
...
After the first round of competition, the results came out.
Qu Chu's army failed in a single arrow. A total of 100 arrows were shot at the bull's eye, and the remaining 5 arrows were very close to the bull's eye.
The city defense force shot a total of 100 arrows, 5 arrows fell to the sky, only 15 arrows hit the bull's eye, and the rest shots on each target in a mess.
The gap is too obvious!
The Duke of Wei and others looked very good.
Qu Chu shook his head, this level!
She stood up and saluted the emperor:
"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion. Before the second round of the competition, it's better to have some entertainment! The competition just now is too concise and I don't know what to do. I suggest that someone perform a fancy riding and shooting."
The emperor asked, "I wonder who General Qu wants to recommend?"
Qu Chudao:
"A man named He Dabao in the army can barely rank in one hundred in the army, but this kid likes to play with flower guns."
“Accepted.”
Qu Chu stood in front of the stage and used his internal strength to summon: "He Dabao is here?"
Everyone present could clearly hear this sound, but they did not feel their eardrums being shaken.
A pretty officer in his 20s ran up and was as fast as a gust of wind.
"Report to General, the last general He Dabao is here."
"Your Majesty ordered you to perform riding and shooting for everyone to watch, and you will play with all the flowers."
He Dabao replied loudly: "The last general will receive the order."
He Dabao supported the horse with one hand and flew onto the horse. At the same time, He Dabao pulled out an arrow from the arrow bag behind his back and shot it. He hit the bull's eye!
Then, He Dabao stood on the horse's body, lying on his side, hooked his feet around the horse's body, hid in the horse's belly, sat on the horse's body, and lying flat on the horse's body to shoot an arrow, and the arrow hit the bull's eye!
The audience was so dazzled that they shouted "Okay"!
Finally, He Dabao drew out the remaining three arrows and shot them all at once, and the three arrows hit the bull's eye.
In this last shot, those who are superb archery also secretly applauded!
The emperor was also very happy to see it.
Look, the people who sent Qu Chu to participate before were not the true level of the army, and she didn't send out this person with superb riding and shooting skills.
But even so, it is far better than the city defense force.
The emperor summoned He Dabao to come forward and ask questions.
"Your name is He Dabao? Who else is there in the family?"
He Dabao knelt down on one knee and saluted.
"Report to your Majesty, the last general is named He Dabao, who is an orphan. He was adopted by the general and taught us to ride and shoot and fight."
The emperor thought, "Are there many people like you in the army?"
"Many. Many people will die in war every year. Orphans like us have no other way to live. If they were not taken in by the general, their corpses would probably turn into mud."
The emperor did not continue to ask this question, but said, "I see that your riding and shooting skills are very good, how did you practice it?"
He Dabao replied:
"The level of the last general is far inferior to that of the general. The last general has insufficient arm strength and can only pull out 3 stone bows. The accurate head is not particularly good. He can only shoot three arrows at the same time.
Unlike generals, who can easily pull the seven stone bows and run a horse with your eyes closed, you can shoot three arrows at the bull's eye at the same time."
The emperor looked at Qu Chu, not very convinced.
As far as he knows, the Imperial Guard commander is called a natural divine power if he can pull four stone bows. How could a woman, Qu Chu, pull out seven stone bows? It is even more absurd that she can shoot three arrows at the bull's eye with her eyes closed.
How could a person know where the target is? He even shot the bull's eye?
However, the emperor did not think about exposing it.
"He Dabao, look at your clothes, are you a seventh-rank captain now?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, the last general is now the seventh-rank captain."
The emperor thought for a while, "You have such a high level of riding and shooting. The seventh-rank captain buried you. I will now promote you to the sixth-rank captain Zhaowu."
He Dabao glanced at Qu Chu, and saw her making a gesture, he kowtowed and thanked him.
Others didn't pay attention to this scene, but Ning Youbei, who was beside him, saw it, and he was thinking.
It seems that Qu Chu's influence in the army is still far beyond his prediction.
He had thought before that the soldiers Qu Chu had led for many years would definitely have a great influence in the army, but in time, it would still be possible to take over the military power.
Now it seems that Qu Chu's foundation in the army is not very deep, and almost everyone is loyal to her.
...
Next, two rounds of competitions, martial arts and battles.
The competition for martial arts is also a one-on-one single match. Each side has 10 players. In the end, it depends on which side wins more. If it is 5:5, even if this round is a draw.
This time, Qu Chufang did not underestimate the enemy so much, and even Wu Dagang sent it out.
Final result: Qu Chu Fang won 8 games.
Qu Chufang won again in this round.
Originally, Qu Chufang had already won two rounds of three rounds, but they won, so there was no need to conduct the third round of competition. But Qu Chu said:
"In formal wars, riding, shooting and martial arts are personal actions and cannot determine the final victory of the battle. To win in a large-scale battle, it still requires the cooperation of tactics and battle formations.
The third round of competition is the battle. Although only 100 people were drawn by both sides in this battle, it can also be seen that the combat effectiveness of the army is.”
So the emperor ordered the third round of competition.
The third round of competition is what really hits people.
As soon as the drum sounded, the hundred soldiers in Qu Chu's army seemed to have changed, and their momentum suddenly increased. The momentum of golden swords and iron horses could not be stopped.
The people who were close to each other couldn't help but take several steps back. Even the officials sitting on the high platform felt murderous intent.
The city defense forces fighting against them were even more in a state of chaos.
The city defense army is responsible for the safety of Yudu. They only patrol the streets and kick over a few small vendors in business. At most, they can help catch a thief. How could they have seen such a scene?
Before the Qu Chu army could attack, the city defense army itself was disorganized.
