Wen Dou's first "shooting" skill, Su Qi'an turned the tables at the last moment, which they did not expect.
As the number card settled on twenty-one, they knew that the so-called draw in the first item was reversed and won by Su Qian with absolute advantage.
This is the duel between sharp archers. After three rounds of competition, everyone is excited and exciting. This is the literary competition they are looking forward to seeing.
The first literary battle ended with Su Qi'an's victory, which also greatly inspired the confidence of the people watching.
The next "Yu" and "Book", as long as Su Qi'an wins a game, this literary battle will be truly stable.
Su Qi'an can shine in the art of "shooting", and maybe there will be new surprises in the latter two items.
The first "shooting" art was over. On the field, a large number of soldiers quickly stepped forward and began to prepare for the second "royal" art.
"Royal" art, to put it bluntly, is a test of one's driving skills. This kind of driving is not a carriage, but a chariot that can be used for combat.
According to the size of the carriage, the horses controlled are also of different sizes, namely second, fourth, and sixth levels. Above that, they cannot be controlled by human power.
In ancient dynasties, the number of chariots owned was a measure of the strength of a country's dynasty.
In ancient times, there were hundreds of small countries in the land of Kyushu. After a hundred years of war, only seven countries were left. Each of these seven countries had at least more than ten thousand chariots. At that time, they were called ten thousand. The country of multiplication.
At that time, the status of chariots was quite high. However, as time passed, the battlefield pattern changed, and the weaknesses of chariots gradually became apparent.
Clumsy, huge, and stiff, it is only suitable for fighting on plains, but not in complex terrains such as valleys, hills, mountains, and dense forests.
The advantages of chariots were difficult to bring into play, so they were gradually eliminated. Later, driving chariots became a form of performance.
No matter how unwilling Showa Incheon looked, the first "shooting" art ended in his defeat.
Seeing Su Qi'an leaving easily, Zhaohe Incheon suppressed the anger in his heart, remained silent for a while, and turned around to leave.
He sat in the resting area specially designed for the two of them. He said nothing and sat quietly without uttering a word.
The guards around him knew that their master was in a bad mood, so they did not dare to disturb him and continued to work silently.
Showa Incheon, who was silent, soon seemed to sense something and turned his head. Next to him, Dekosuke sat very calmly.
He picked up the tea cup in his hand unhurriedly, drank it all in one gulp, and said softly.
"The defeat in the first item is doomed. Don't be so discouraged. You are aware of Dongshan Hou's high archery skills, but in your heart, you have always been unconvinced and want to compete."
"You have also seen the final result. In terms of archery, you are not as good as others. There is nothing to say about this. As long as you grasp the last two items well, the victory of Wen Dou will still belong to you."
"And after the fight with Dongshan Hou, it is not without some gains. At least you know that this person is a threat to you and an obstacle to Fusang in the future. You need to pay enough attention to it."
"As long as you take your opponent seriously, the rest will be easy to say. This defeat is not a loss."
Dekosuke's unhurried attitude really calmed Showa Incheon's mind a little.
He nodded and said to Dekang, "The teacher is right. If the students are taught, the students will definitely not disappoint the teacher's expectations. The students will take this person seriously."
After hearing this answer, Dekosuke nodded with satisfaction, and then closed his eyes slightly, as if he was not interested in worldly affairs.
At this time, whoever wants to follow the actions of the soldiers, the venue for the second "imperial" art quickly took shape.
In front of the two of them, there were two tracks about six to seventy feet long.
This 60 to 70-foot track is not flat. There are various obstacles, such as a tunnel about six feet long, a muddy gravel field, and several checkpoints blocking the way...
The second "chariot" skill is not as complicated as the first. There is only one round. The chariot is controlled and driven. Whoever can perfectly avoid various obstacles and rush over first will be the winner in the second round.
The soldiers on the field were busy, and after about half an hour, the track for the second event was finally arranged.
The two people who were resting at the end of the field all got up and came to the starting point, ready to stand on their respective chariots.
At this moment, Showa Incheon spoke. He gestured to the soldiers next to him and asked to change to another tank.
Seeing this scene, Wenxuan frowned slightly. He thought that Showa Incheon did not trust the chariot they had prepared, so he spoke like this.
Even the people in the audience thought so, but after understanding Showa Incheon's intentions, the people's faces were a little shocked.
Showa Inchon's transfer was not out of distrust, but a request to increase the number of horses, which was directly increased to six.
The number of chariots and horses originally prepared for the two of them was to protect their personal safety.
Unlike the other five arts, chariot-riding is risky. After all, you are driving a military horse. Even after a long period of running-in, the selected military horse has a stable temperament.
But it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents in the chariot. Just one accident will cause the chariot to overturn and the horse to be frightened. If it falls, there is still a risk.
Therefore, in order to reduce the risk, only two horses were prepared for the chariot this time, but unexpectedly Showa Incheon directly proposed to add more horses, and they were still up to the highest six horses.
The greater the number of horses, the more difficult it is to control and the more things that are uncontrollable.
When Showa Incheon did this, Wenxuan, Su Qi'an and others could see what his thoughts were at a glance.
I want to prove my ability in the second event and regain the face I lost in the first event.
Just like Su Qi'an let him know about the art of "archery" and let Showa and Incheon know that there is an insurmountable gap between them in archery.
Showa Incheon's increase in the number of horses was not illegal. If he was really able to control six horses, it would make him shine on the chariot.
Wenxuan stepped forward and carefully asked Showa Incheon several times. After confirming that he insisted on this and signed an accident liability letter, he agreed to add more horses to him.
Showa Incheon's actions indeed attracted the attention of countless people.
A six-horse chariot and a chariot are both rare in Kyoto.
Even many ministers in the private room stood up and walked to the stands, wanting to witness this rare scene.
The change of carriages in Showa Incheon attracted a lot of attention, but Su Qi'an remained unmoved. With a calm face, he directly got into his two-horse chariot and silently waited for the second event to begin.
In the chariot competition, adding more horses will not affect the final result of the competition, it will just show off.
If Su Qi'an reaches the finish line first, even with two horses, he will be judged to be the winner.
In Su Qi'an's view, whether it is two horses or six horses, on the premise of seizing the chance to win, it is better to be safe.
Even if the worst outcome occurs, Su Qi'an loses in the second event of chariot driving, and the two sides are tied one to one, and there will be no mental imbalance.
It can be said that in the second event, Su Qi'an went into battle without any burden. No matter whether he won or lost, he just tried his best.
On the contrary, Showa Incheon was under the greatest pressure. It seemed that his actions were brilliant, but he was under a lot of pressure.
In this round, no matter what, Showa Incheon must use 200% of its strength to prove to itself that it is not weaker than Su Qian.
The additional horses were quickly replaced, and the two chariots were lined up side by side. Just looking at the size of the chariots, Showa Inchon's chariot was more than twice as big as Su Qian's, and both had a crushing momentum.
As the two got ready, the command sounded, and the two men whipped the horse's buttocks hard with their ropes.
The army horses neighed, stamped hard on the ground, and rushed forward, the wheels of the chariot spinning rapidly.
Only by driving it yourself can you feel the speed of the chariot. The feeling is completely different from that of a carriage or horseback riding.
The chariot moves forward rapidly. Even if there is only one person on board, it gives people the aura of thousands of troops.
One chariot is so powerful that it is hard to imagine that if it were thousands or ten thousand chariots, it would not be able to shake the earth.
Su Qi'an could only suppress this sigh temporarily. He was now concentrating on manipulating the horse rope and controlling the direction of the carriage.
Su Qi'an was not inexperienced in driving a chariot. After coming to Daliang and living with Daliang people for so long, he still knew some skills.
It's just that the learning is very complex, and I can do it normally, but when it comes to competition, it's not enough.
Especially compared with Showa Incheon, who claims to be proficient in the six arts, the gap can be seen from the start of the two.
The six-horse rope was in the hands of Showa Incheon with ease. Even a huge chariot running at high speed was still firmly controlled by Showa Incheon.
On the other hand, Su Qi'an, although the chariot was also very stable, it was moving at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
Showa Incheon looked at this scene out of the corner of his eye, feeling comfortable as he looked at Su Qi'an who was constantly being pulled away by him. What he wanted was to completely crush Su Qi'an with his absolute strength.
Just like how Su Qi'an treated him in archery, let him see that no matter how calculating he is in the events he is good at, he is vulnerable to absolute strength.
As time passed, Showa Incheon drove the chariot as if it were a deserted place, jumping over tunnels, muddy mountains, and various obstacles with great agility.
Under his control, the sixty-seventy-foot track was already halfway through, and Su Qi'an visually estimated that there was at least five or six feet away from him. As time went by, the distance between the two sides would only get wider and wider.
Showa Incheon looked away, sneered, and whipped the horse's back hard with the ropes in his hands again. The horse neighed, and the chariot under him kept speeding at a faster speed.
Showa Incheon was not satisfied with the gap of five to six feet. What he wanted was overwhelming crushing.
He wanted to trample Su Qi'an hard under his feet, making him despair and unable to resist.
With the high-speed rotation of the wheels, the gap of five to six feet continued to expand again, and in the blink of an eye it expanded to a distance of ten feet.
In front, there is a distance of up to thirty feet to reach the finish line. Judging from the current situation, Showa Incheon has a huge advantage. As long as nothing unexpected happens, this victory will definitely belong to him.
