Yuan Yao waved his hand, and the soldiers around the school quickly stepped forward and began to remove the arrows from the straw man in preparation.
Some straw men were also taken down, and in the end there were only straw men standing at a distance of 60 to 100 paces.
"Come here, get my iron bow!"
Gan Ning raised his hand behind him, looking confident.
"Okay!"
A red-faced man stood behind him, carrying an iron bow for Gan Ning.
But before he could take out the iron bow, a soldier from the school field held up an ordinary wooden bow and presented it to Gan Ning.
"Please use this bow, Commander-in-Chief!"
"Does this deserve to be called a bow?"
Gan Ning's eyes widened and he started to curse.
The surrounding generals suppressed their laughter and each picked up the ordinary stone bow handed to them by the soldiers in the field.
"Don't you want to compete with your own bows?"
Gan Ning looked at the people around him and was very puzzled.
"Gan Sima, this is the rule set by the Governor!"
"From bow and arrow equipment to competition rules, the Governor has the right to make decisions and have the final interpretation!"
It was Yuan Wu who opened his mouth to explain Gan Ning.
Gan Ning immediately shut up and looked at Yuan Yao cautiously.
Gan Ning breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yuan Yao not looking at him.
At this time, everyone except Gan Ning shot the first arrow.
What Yuan Yao holds in his hand is the three-stone bow he used during the test shooting.
Therefore, there is no doubt that with the advantage of pulling force, it can easily shoot to a distance of a hundred steps.
After everyone else finished shooting, they all stopped and looked at Yuan Yao.
"No need to change the bow this time!"
After hearing Yuan Yao's explanation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and took out the second arrow and put it on their bow.
Gan Ning remembered that he had never used a stone bow since he was ten years old.
Just holding this wooden bow at this moment made him feel a little weird!
It's like holding a toy bow that only children can play with!
Whoosh~
An arrow was shot, but it missed the target.
Gan Ning frowned, but was not discouraged.
The first arrow, get used to it and calibrate it, it’s normal to miss the target!
Whoosh~ whoosh~
After each person shot five arrows, they all lowered their bows.
Although Gan Ning started last, he was the first to finish.
And the results were very good. Two arrows were shot at the straw man at 100 paces, and the other two arrows were shot at the straw man at 60 paces and 80 paces respectively.
One hundred steps is about fifty meters, which is the limit distance of a stone bow. Any further away and the arrow will easily drift.
Gan Ning looked around and it seemed that his results were still the best!
The guy named Tai Shi Ci only hit the straw man a hundred steps away with one arrow.
I don’t know how he just shot the straw man a hundred and fifty steps away!
Damn it!
His archery skills are only so-so, about the same as those of a governor!
That's right, Yuan Yao only had one arrow in the end, and it shot at the straw man who was a hundred paces away.
"Everyone, I won this competition!"
Gan Ning proudly turned around in a circle and raised his hands to everyone.
But there was no congratulatory response.
snort!
Be jealous!
Just be jealous of your Uncle Gan!
"Please ask the Governor to announce the winner!"
Chen Dao shouted.
"Ahem!"
Yuan Yaoqing coughed twice: "Oh, what happened? I'm tied with Taishi Xiaowei again!"
"Come here, get the archery target, and use the depth of the arrow to judge the winner!"
Gan Ning took out his ears and wiped his eyes to make sure he heard correctly.
Then he said: "Captain...it seems like I won?"
Yuan Yao turned his head and glanced at Gan Ning, then looked at Gan Ning's archery target.
"Oh haha~" Yuan Yao scratched his head in embarrassment: "I forgot to explain the rules to you Xingba!"
"Your score is invalid according to the rules, it's invalid!"
"invalid?"
Gan Ning's eyes widened, and when he looked around at the generals and commanders, he realized that everyone was suppressing laughter with their mouths pursed.
It seems that everything is expected, and I will definitely see myself having fun at this time!
"Isn't it better to shoot farther than anyone else? Two of my arrows hit the hundred-step target! Only one of you and him, Commander-in-Chief, hit the target!"
Yuan Yao walked up to Gan Ning and said earnestly: "Xingba, please listen to my explanation!"
"The first item is to compare who can shoot farther, yes, but it is a scoring system. Do you understand the scoring system?"
Gan Ning shook his head like a rattle.
Yuan Yao put his arm around Gan Ning's shoulders, pointed at the straw man and said: "If you hit the target at sixty steps, you will get six points, if you hit the target at seventy steps, you will get seven points, and so on, until you hit the target at one hundred steps, you will get six points." , the total score is forty points.”
"Wait a minute..." Gan Ning stretched out his hand: "Captain, I haven't read much, don't bully me!"
"There are five arrows in total, and the maximum score is ten points. If all five of my arrows hit a hundred steps away, the full score should be fifty points!"
Someone next to me finally couldn't help but laugh.
"No, no, there's an additional rule!"
Yuan Yao still explained patiently: "This competition also requires each person to hit a target with five arrows in his hand!"
"So the perfect score is forty, not fifty!"
Gan Ning calculated silently and then looked at the shooting range.
Only then did he realize that the five arrows shot by Yuan Yao and Tai Shici were all inserted into the bodies of five straw men ranging from sixty to one hundred steps.
The same is true for other people. Some, like him, missed the target with their first arrow because they were not used to the new bow, while others missed the target with their last arrow due to insufficient arrow power.
But no one shot two arrows at the same straw man like himself.
"But Commander, you said, this one is about who can shoot farther!"
Gan Ning was so anxious that he almost jumped and said aggrievedly.
Yuan Yao straightened his face and said in an educational tone: "You can't say that!"
"Why are we practicing archery? Tell me, Xingba!"
"For killing!"
Gan Ning said without hesitation.
"Yes!" Yuan Yao nodded: "We are practicing archery now to prepare for going to the battlefield and shooting the enemy!"
"But on the battlefield, the enemy can't always be a hundred steps away, right?"
"So this is called simulating battlefield conditions, do you understand?"
Gan Ning seemed to understand.
"But he who doesn't know is not guilty. Since you don't understand this rule..."
"A rematch?" Gan Ning blurted out.
"No no no..."
Yuan Yao shook his head: "This time you missed one arrow and two more arrows hit the same target. I will give you a valid score."
Gan Ning was about to cry but had no tears: "That's only thirty-four points..."
"Then there's nothing we can do." Yuan Yao pretended to be helpless and sighed: "Next time, I'm optimistic about you!"
"Captain, please test the target!"
At this time, the soldiers from the school field finally ran back carrying Tai Shici and Yuan Yao's 100-step straw man.
In front of everyone, Yuan Yao first pulled out Tai Shici's arrow, then inserted a piece of wheat straw into the arrow mouth, broke it after reaching it, and then took it out.
"Captain Taishi, one inch deep!"
Then he followed the same pattern, holding up the second straw and turning it around in front of everyone to show his publicity.
"The governor's arrow is more than two inches long!"
Yuan Yao said proudly.
"Captain's Divine Arrow!"
Everyone congratulated in unison.
Taishi Ci also raised his hand indifferently: "The power of my arrows is not half that of the governor!"
Everyone likes to hear flattery.
Yuan Yao is no exception.
He was so elated that he immediately waved his hand and said: "Come here! Watch and enjoy!"
"The second place in the scoring will be awarded 10,000 yuan to Tai Shici, the captain of Huaiyi School!"
"Third place, military commander Ma Ganning, 10,000 yuan!"
"The governor is wise!"
"Huaiyi Captain's Divine Arrow! Army Commander's Divine Arrow!"
Everyone shouted in unison again.
But this time it was a heartfelt compliment.
"Every participant will receive 10,000 yuan!"
Yuan Yao paused and said again.
