If the number of hits is the same, the referee will be judged by the hit part, the head is the best, the chest is the second, and the abdomen is the last.
Don't think that it is easy to hit an arrow target that is a hundred steps away. Jin Liao inherited the Tang system, and one step is the distance that Tang Taizong walked with each foot, which is five feet, which is about 1.5 meters in later generations.
On the target 150 meters away, the red circle looks almost like a larger red dot.It is not easy to hit.
The archers from all tribes participating in the competition this time are the best among the tribes, but they are full of confidence in this.
The competition between Tang Kuo's department and Pucha's department ended soon.The archers of the Tang Kuo tribe shot once in the chest and twice in the abdomen; the archers of the Pucha tribe shot once in the head and twice in the chest.
The Pucha tribe defeated the Tang Kuo tribe in the bow and arrow contest, bringing the contest back to a round.
In the contest between Tudanbu and Jiagubu, Tudan Ding's brother, Tudanxie, also went into battle in person, but lost to Jiagubu's opponent.
Tu Danxie also hit the target once on the head and twice on the chest, but the archer from Jiagubu hit the target twice on the head and once on the chest, narrowly beating Tu Danxie.
As a result, Jiagu and Tudan were temporarily tied.
Seeing this, Ximenqing sighed to the people around him, these tribes are not mediocre!
Yue Fei also walked into the arena steadily at this time, and stood together with the archers from the Wugu Discourse.
Wu Gu Lun is well-known among Jurchen ministries for riding and archery. Wu Gu Lun on the sidelines is full of confidence, believing that he will be able to defeat Ximen Qing in the second round of bow and arrow competition and the third round of riding and archery competition.
In the arena, after Wan Yan Zongjun gave the order, the archers of the Wugu Discourse Department glanced at Yue Fei contemptuously, drew their bows fully, and the arrows shot like shooting stars, hitting the red circle on the head of the target with a "dole" sound.
"Okay!" There was applause outside the venue.
Yue Fei was not in a hurry, he also bent his bow and set up an arrow, aimed at the front and let go of his right hand.
The arrow shot out, and it also hit the red circle on the head of the archery target impartially.
"Okay!" The irrelevant people on the sidelines were all cheering for Yue Fei.
The archer of the Wugu Discourse Department raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Yue Fei carefully, and without speaking, he turned around and drew his bow and shot the second arrow.
Apparently, the archers of the Wu Gu Lun Department were the best archers in their tribe, and the second arrow still hit the head of the target steadily.
Not to be outdone, Yue Fei returned an arrow, which also hit the red circle on the head.
This time, the din outside the arena intensified.
So the archers of the Song Dynasty were able to match the strength of the Wugu Lunbu?
The so-called "Yili Mali" is the Jurchen's respectful name for the archer.At this time, the one who competed with Yue Fei was the well-known Jurchen archer.He is also one of the strengths of the Wu Gu Lun Department to participate in the Martial Arts Recruitment Conference.
From the looks of it, the very popular Wu Gu Lun Department encountered a strong opponent in this martial arts competition.
On the high platform, Wanyan Zongbi stared at Yue Fei in the field with wide eyes.Wanyan Zongbi's mother was from the Wugulun tribe, and he didn't want the Wugulun tribe to be defeated.
Jin Wushu, the fourth prince of the Kingdom of Jin in later storytelling books, met his old enemy Yue Fei for the first time in this way.
Soon, amidst the exclamation of the crowd, Ye Li Mali and Yue Fei from Wu Gu's Department both shot the last arrow.
As everyone expected, both of them hit the red circle on the head of the arrow target, and this round of bow and arrow competition was evenly divided.
The archers of the Wugu Discussion Division completely put away their pride, and after paying a salute to Yue Fei, they turned and returned to the Wugu Discussion Division.
Yue Fei also walked out of the polo field amidst the cheers of the crowd.
After two rounds of competition, Ximen Qing's team won one and tied one, temporarily leading the six teams.
The previously optimistic Wu Gu Theory has lost one draw and one draw, and its prospects are bleak.
Ximen Qing, who was the least famous among the various ministries of Jurchen, became the attention of the audience at this moment.People want to discuss whether he can win the final victory of the tournament.
Wanyan Wulu's eyes were shining brightly, she believed that brother Ximenqing would defeat the opponent and walk in front of her.
Like Wanyan Wulu who has confidence in Ximen Qing, there may be Wanyan Zongjun, Wanyan Zongxiong and others.
After a while, the riding and archery competition officially began.This round is the referee Wanyan Zongxiong, a well-known Jurchen genius shooter.
The archery targets are still the same as those human-shaped archery targets, but the archery has changed from standing on the ground to galloping on horseback.
The martial arts competition requires the warriors to gallop their horses one hundred steps parallel to the target, and shoot three arrows in a row in an archery area about [-] steps long, and the one who hits the most wins.
Mounted archery is much more difficult than foot archery, so as long as you hit the target, you can score points.But those who hit the red circle are naturally better.
First of all, it was still Tang Kuo's department against Pucha's department. Tang Kuo Talan played in person in this round, hitting all three shots and defeating Pucha's opponent.
When the Tudanbu faced the Jiagubu, the cavalry and archery warriors of the Jiagu tribe showed their talents and defeated the Tudanbu cavalry and archery warriors.
As a result, the Pucha Department and the Tudan Department had one victory and two losses, and were gradually pushed into a desperate situation.
When it was Wugu Lunbu's turn to compete with Ximenbu in the riding and archery competition, Wugu Lunhualun appeared on the stage in person riding a horse with a bow and arrow.
This time it was a fight to the death, and Wugu must not lose in his theory of falsehood.
Ximen Qing also got on his horse and came to the polo field amidst all the attention.
Chapter 696 Evenly Divided
After Ximen Qing came on stage, everyone in the audience stared at them, even the emperor Wanyan Aguda, Wanyan Wu Qimai, Wanyan Sagai and others also quieted down, looking at Ximen Qing and Wu Gu with great interest. On falsehood.
"You are Ximen Qing from the Song Dynasty? Your warriors are outstanding, beyond my expectation. But you have no chance of winning if you meet me."
Although Wu Gulun's false statement had only achieved one loss and one tie, he was still full of confidence at the moment.
"Hahaha~ I have long heard that Wugu Lun is a famous archer among the Jurchens. It is a pleasure to meet you! In the martial arts field, the bow and horse should be used to decide the outcome, so why bother to speak quickly?"
Ximen Qing smiled lightly.
"Happy! Ximen Qing, let me convince you to lose!"
Wu Gu Lun twisted his legs, rode his horse and rushed out.
On a polo field, there are two parallel lines twenty paces apart.Competitors can only draw bows and shoot arrows after riding their horses into a line.
When the contestant crosses another line, three arrows must be shot for the result to be valid.
Therefore, the requirements for riding and shooting are fast and accurate, which is very difficult.
Wu Gu argued that holding a bow in his left hand and drawing an arrow in his right, he rode a red-maned horse across the first line like a whirlwind, and shot three arrows in a row.
After he shot three arrows, the red-maned horse's front hooves just stepped on the second line.
To cross the distance of twenty paces, for a galloping horse, it is just a blink of an eye.
"Woo~" Wugu held the reins with his right hand, and stopped the running red-maned horse in front of the high platform of the polo field. He raised the bow in his left hand and did not look back to see if he had hit it. He said proudly: "Wu Princess Lu, Wu Gu only pays tribute to you with three arrows!"
