Chapter 727 The War in Chuzhou Begins

"What's the use of just having brute strength? In a battle on the battlefield, it's not about who is stronger."

"That's right, if it were a competition of strength, Suhamu would have been the captain long ago."

"Who can come on stage and teach this kid how to behave?"

……

There was a lot of discussion in the audience again, and the soldiers in the forward selection camp were obviously dissatisfied.

Yang Yan and Jiang Lvzhong stood on the sidelines and watched. They had experienced such a process, and it was up to them to see how Lu Yuan resolved it.

Although Lu Yuan is favored by Wei Yuan, the rule in the forward selection camp is that the strong are respected. This is a test that Lu Yuan must go through before taking the position of captain.

"I heard that you were once a scout for the Yangping Pass garrison. Do you dare to compete with me in archery?" At this moment, a short man walked out of the crowd.

"It's Su Lie. This man is the number one scout in our front camp. It is said that he has extremely good archery skills and once shot down the blue-eyed eagle of a barbarian scout." someone said.

"But Su Lie is too short. If he becomes the team captain, where will our attention be in selecting the front camp?" someone else added.

The blue-eyed eagle is a bird raised by the barbarians for exploration. Apart from flying high and having a long endurance, there is nothing magical about it.

There is no comparison at all with the alien green-scaled falcon that Lu Yuan killed.

Even so, anyone who can kill a blue-eyed eagle with a bow and arrow is considered a rare expert archer.

Lu Yuan listened to the people's discussion and probably knew what he was talking about. He made a gesture of invitation and said, "Of course you can! But what are we competing for?"

Su Lie looked around and saw two blue-eyed eagles flying past in the sky.

"Just shoot it!" Su Lie pointed at the blue-eyed eagle in the sky.

"Okay!" Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Who comes first?"

"I'll go first!" Su Lie said subconsciously, and then he realized that he was a little anxious.

When shooting at birds in the sky, the person who shoots first has an advantage because they are not yet on guard.

And once someone takes action, no matter whether it succeeds or not, the remaining birds will become frightened and fly away quickly, making it more difficult to hit.

Su Lie wanted to be the leader of the team so much that he lost his composure and lost his sense of proportion.

Su Lie gritted his teeth. The opportunity was rare. Even if he had to be a villain for once, he would accept it!

He was currently aiming at a blue-eyed eagle in the sky, bending his bow to shoot.

"Su Lie's temperament still needs to be tempered, but after all, he is the best shooter in our front camp. Lu Yuan is still a little overconfident." Jiang Luzhong said.

"I think Lu Yuan will win." Yang Yan said.

"Why?" Nangong Qianrou blinked her eyes and said in a unique style.

"Because Su Lie's heart is in chaos." Yang Yan said with certainty.

Su Lie's heart was indeed in a state of confusion. As a shooter, once his mind was in a state of confusion, he would probably only be able to use 50% of his 10% strength.

Therefore, the arrow he shot missed.

"Hey!" Su Lie sighed.

At the same time, Lu Yuan bent his bow, guided the arrow, and shot it out in one go.

As a frontier army scout, Lu Yuan was naturally good at archery. Not only could he shoot, he was also very skilled in archery, which stemmed from a memory he once had.

In that memory, Lu Yuan became one of the best archers on the grassland, and even mastered a miraculous archery skill - killing two birds with one stone!

"Chirp! Chirp!" Although Su Lie failed to shoot the blue-eyed eagle, it aroused the vigilance of the blue-eyed eagle. The two blue-eyed eagles flapped their wings and flew back and forth.

At this moment, an arrow carried by the strong wind roared towards them, crossing a graceful arc, and passed through the hearts of the two blue-eyed eagles, killing the two beasts at the same time.

"Well done!" a soldier shouted.

"With good archery skills, he is the most elite 'condor shooter' among the barbarians, but that's all!" A soldier echoed.

"Greetings to the captain!" The soldiers of Lu Yuan's team, headed by Su Hamu and Su Lie, knelt down to Lu Yuan sincerely.

"We're all brothers, you're welcome!" Showing off this archery skill was both a deterrent and a show of strength. No matter what happened in private, on the surface, this hundred-man team recognized itself as the leader of the team.

"Let's go!" Seeing that the important matter had been decided, Yang Yan said to Lu Yuan, "Go to the Chinese army's tent."

"What's wrong?" Nangong Qianrou asked confused.

"Why do you think the barbarian blue-eyed eagle appeared in Chuzhou City?" Jiang Luzhong rolled his eyes at Nangong Qianrou and said.

Nangong Qianrou glanced at Yang Yan and Lu Yuan, who had solemn faces, and then realized that she was the only one who hadn't reacted yet.

The blue-eyed eagle appeared in the sky over Chuzhou, indicating that the coalition forces of the demon and barbarian tribes were not far from Chuzhou City.

The group arrived at the Chinese army's tent and found that the civil and military officials from Chuzhou had indeed been summoned by Wei Yuan.

Yang Yan made a vague gesture towards Wei Yuan, and Wei Yuan nodded, understanding that Lu Yuan had already subdued his group of soldiers.

"Everyone!" Wei Yuan said, "I will stop talking nonsense. The demon barbarian army is about to arrive at Chuzhou City. Please go all out!"

"I obey the command of the Commander-in-Chief!" all the soldiers responded in unison.

Then Wei Yuan began to assign tasks one by one. Lu Yuan listened carefully and found that although this young Shangguan was not well-known, he was well-organized and well-organized in arranging troops.

"Your Highness King Huai, the demon and barbarian tribes are so fierce that you would never have thought that instead of retreating to defend, we would take the initiative to attack. This battle of yours is very necessary. You must cut off the logistics supplies of the 60,000 demon and barbarian army. If successful, you will be the one to win. First achievement!" Wei Yuan said to a young general who was wearing full body armor and looked majestic and heroic.

This young man wearing a red cloak, with strong features and an arrogant face is none other than Prince Huai, the younger brother of the current Emperor Yuan Jing.

At a young age, he has the cultivation level of a fourth-level martial artist. He is now the number one master of the royal family and the second-largest general in the Great Feng Army, second only to Wei Yuan.

"Don't worry, Governor, I will use the power of plowing the courtyard to sweep holes, cut off all their food and grass, and then work with the Governor to surround and kill these monsters and barbarians." King Huai said with high spirits.

Lu Yuan's eyes kept falling on the sword on King Huai's waist. His intuition told him that the simple bronze sword on King Huai was not simple.

"What are you looking at?" Jiang Lvzhong came over and asked.

"The sword on Prince Huai's waist does not seem to be simple." Lu Yuanzhi said.

"That is the Zhenguo Sword! A treasure passed down from generation to generation by the Dafeng royal family, the sword of the founding emperor. It is said that it is enshrined in the Shanhe Temple of Yongzhen all year round to suppress the national destiny of Dafeng."

Jiang Lvzhong continued: "I didn't expect that King Huai would be recognized by the Zhenguo Sword. His martial arts talent may be as good as that of Wuzong."

Six hundred years ago, the founder of Dafeng, with the assistance of the first Jianzheng of Qintianjian, established the country with military force and governed it with Confucianism. At its peak, all nations came to court.

Five hundred years ago, the royal family was immoral and favored treacherous ministers, and the people were in dire straits. Emperor Wuzong, assisted by the second generation of supervisors, raised troops to usurp the throne, and the royal family changed hands.

It is said that Emperor Wuzong was a martial artist in the second-grade Hedao realm when he was in his prime. Unfortunately, "those who are lucky cannot live forever", and Emperor Wuzong eventually grew old.

That King Huai could receive such an evaluation shows that his martial arts talent is so high that he can even rival the Wuzong.
