Chapter 208 The White Horse General
He opened his jaw and shot five arrows in succession, although the first two arrows hit the wooden target accurately, but there are many warriors in Liangzhou, so it is nothing special.
But the third arrow is extraordinary, I can only see three arrows in a row with the jaw open, and the head, throat and heart of the straw man are divided into three parts. When the arrows are shot, every arrow is very precise, this skill is really rare.
The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses watching from the side were stunned for a moment, and then roared with cheers.
"Good man, good arrow skills!"
"As expected of General Anxi Zhonglang's general, he really is extraordinary."
"Such a sharp shot, the rebels are hardly worth mentioning."
Zhang Jai nodded to his surroundings without losing his demeanor. He was already a majestic and handsome man, and he won a lot of applause.
Before Zhang Jaw rode his horse to the top of the city, Geng Bi stood up with an expression of appreciation on his face.
"As expected of being a general under General Liu's command, his excellent marksmanship is indeed well-deserved."
Appreciating it, Geng Bi took off the brocade robe he was wearing, and handed it to the attendants beside him.
"Opening your jaws and shooting sharply, I appreciate it very much, and I bestow you with a brocade robe."
As the governor, Geng Bi was naturally not wearing an ordinary brocade robe, but the famous Hundred Flowers Brocade in Sichuan and Shu.
What's more important is the meaning, this is the brocade robe worn by Geng Bi, and now it is bestowed on Zhang Jaw, the meaning of appreciation is self-evident.
The attendants beside Geng Bi ran all the way down from the city gate tower, then passed through the city gate, and trotted all the way to Zhang Jai, offering the brocade robe with both hands.
Zhang Jaw was slightly surprised, and then looked at Liu Ye with a questioning look in his eyes.
Seeing this, Liu Ye laughed: "Junyi, accept the brocade robe that the governor gave you, and go to battle in the future to repay the governor's contribution."
Seeing that Liu Ye didn't mind, Zhang Jai breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and grabbed the brocade robe, wanting to put it on for himself.
"Wait!"
Suddenly there was a loud shout in the army formation, Zhang Jaw couldn't help but stop his movements, and Liu Ye, Geng Bi and many surrounding county guards all looked over curiously.
I saw a passage in the formation of thousands of armies suddenly split like a wave splitting into waves, and then a horse galloped out. Under its crotch was a magnificent white horse, with a short beard under its jaw like a steel needle. For bravery.
Geng Bi couldn't help frowning: "Who are you, why did you come out to make trouble?"
The man didn't give his name, but said: "I'm just an uncle in the middle of the army, and my identity is not as good as Captain Zhang. I just want to ask why the governor gave Zhang Xiaowei a brocade robe."
Geng Bi replied: "Lieutenant Zhang's shooting skills are superb, and the governor cherishes his skills, so he bestowed him with a brocade robe. Could it be that you have doubts?"
The young general of the white horse asked again: "If a certain archer is better than Zhang Xiaowei, can the governor give the brocade robe to a certain?"
When Geng Bi heard what the young white horse said, he couldn't help but become interested: "If your archery skills are better than Captain Zhang's, then I will give you another brocade robe."
"The governor's words are like a mountain, and a certain person can trust them."
Geng Bi laughed out loud, a brocade robe is nothing, as the saying goes, a thousand soldiers are easy to get, but a general is hard to find, if it is really a manufacturable talent, it is worth a thousand gold.
Zhang Jai frowned, and handed the brocade robe to Geng Bi's entourage, casually put the longbow on his back, folded his arms and looked coldly at the young general on a white horse.
As the saying goes, there is no one in literature, and there is no second in martial arts. No one in the world wants to fight for the title of number one in the world. He is about to get the brocade robe bestowed by Governor Geng, but this kid jumped at this time. Come out to make trouble, isn't this a provocation?
The young general on the white horse rode his horse back to the three wooden posts, then took out a black cloth strip from his arms, covered his eyes lightly from the front, and tied a knot lightly around the back of his head, then raised his head proudly.
Zhang Jaw was taken aback, could this kid actually want to shoot arrows blindfolded?
At that time, Li Guang, the parachutist, was riding alone and patrolling at night. When the wind blew through the grass, a tiger suddenly appeared. Li Guang was startled, he drew his bow and set an arrow, and shot the tiger.
Bow and arrow training is relatively popular in this era. Among the six arts of a gentleman, two are specialized in martial arts training. One is imperial, that is, riding a horse and handling a carriage, and the other is archery, that is, archery.
However, there are two problems in archery. One is riding and shooting. After all, it is difficult to hit objects that are moving at high speed. That is, those grassland peoples on horseback or frontier soldiers who have been in the frontier fortress can only understand it. No one is proficient in riding and shooting. Not elite.
The second point is night shooting. Thanks to Zhang Jiantong, the Western Regions brought back a lot of crop seeds in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but most of the crops that were later introduced from the Americas, such as potatoes, tomatoes, etc., did not come in. The food traditions of the Han Dynasty were more primitive. Many people, in fact, suffer from night blindness.
Even among the frontier troops, there are very few who are proficient in riding and night shooting at the same time, and this young white horse general blindfolded his eyes with cloth strips, obviously proficient in night shooting.
Zhang Zhe said to himself: "Whether it's a deceptive trick or a real talent, I want to see."
And Geng Bi couldn't help but marvel when he saw the young white horse general blindfolded with cloth strips, and then looked at Liu Ye who was beside him.
"General Liu, do you think the young general can do it?"
"If this person is proficient in night shooting, he should be sure." Liu Ye said slowly.
Geng Bi asked: "If General Liu covered his eyes with a cloth strip, would he be able to shoot?"
Liu Ye nodded. His boxing skills have been cultivated to the level of a master, and he has reached the point where his mind is clear. In martial arts, there are many tricks to deal with night battles, such as night battles in all directions. Judge the enemy by its ears, nose, breath, etc.
If Liu Ye were to cover his eyes with cloth strips, as long as he memorized the distance between each stake in advance, he could still shoot three arrows in a row when he galloped out.
However, this is for Liu Ye after all. As for whether this young white horse general can do it, he is looking forward to it. At the same time, he is also thinking, who is this young white horse general? Will he be a famous general in the future?
The young white horse general blindfolded his eyes with a black cloth strip, took off his riding bow from his back, and then grabbed the reins.
The little white horse under his crotch connected with the general, immediately hissed, and jumped out like a white shadow.
"Go!"
He let out a whistling sound, and the arrow on the string shot out suddenly as he let go of his fingers, and hit the straw man's chest with a bang.
"good!"
At the moment, most of the Liangzhou army are recruits. I thought that the three arrows with open jaws just now were exciting enough, but I didn't expect this person to be able to shoot them blindfolded.
