Sui and Tang Dynasties Summons

Chapter 217

"Gu is here to threaten you."

Chen Tian looked at Xia Houyuan sharply like a sword's edge, and said the words decisively without the slightest sloppiness.

"Threatening me is so loud, then I want to see how you threaten me!" Xia Houyuan and the others snorted coldly, obviously not paying attention to Chen Tian.

Chen Tian didn't take Xia Houyuan and others seriously, and proudly shouted: "Gu came to tell you one thing today, if you really want to send troops to prevent Gu from attacking Wu, then Gu will withdraw to Jingzhou to rectify the troops and horses and go south to wipe you out in one fell swoop. A group of arrogant people in Jiaozhou."

The domineering words echoed in the eardrums of Xia Houyuan and the others. Chen Tian saw that they still thought they had room to maneuver, so he changed the subject, and then said: "You don't need to think about Jiangdong Du Fuwei's disciples anymore. Now, Yu Juluo, Marshal of the Sweeping South of the Sui Dynasty, has defeated Du Fuwei steadily, and you still expect him to send troops to rescue you? What a joke!"

After hearing this, Xia Houyuan and the others clenched their weapons with both hands and kept rattling, feeling very annoyed by their arrogant attitude, but what Chen Tian said was indeed correct. Once Chen Jun retreated and turned his sword to Jiaozhou, Then Jiaozhou is likely to be defeated.

Before the rest of the people could react, Xiahoudun put on black armor and held a long knife in his hand. He stepped forward and asked, "After talking so much, what do you want to do?"

"What to do? It's very simple, you wait to retreat and send Xu Yuanzhi back to Gu's formation unscathed, otherwise Gu will fight you to the end at all costs!"

Chen Tian rolled his throat, and let out a deep and disdainful sneer, but his tone was so resolute that he didn't give Xia Houyuan any room to back down.

"Damn it." Xia Houyuan gritted his teeth and stared at Chen Tian, ​​but he didn't know what to say to argue with Chen Tian, ​​so he could only forcefully swallow the unwillingness in his heart.

Wu Yong looked at Chen Tian from a distance, and was also very shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that this young man would have such a sense of power to demote Xiao Jun, who had the upper hand, so that he had nothing to say.

Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed across Wu Yong's eyes, and a sneer appeared on his embarrassed face again. He rode his horse forward and whispered in Xia Houyuan's ear: "General, our army can make a remarkable contribution in this way!"

The more Xia Houyuan listened, the more excited he became. The anger on his face dissipated instantly, and he turned to Chen Tian and shouted: "King Qiantang, it is not impossible for you to ask our army to retreat, but do you dare to gamble with my army!"

"Gambling, what kind of trick is it?" Chen Tian was a little suspicious when he heard this, but with Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun beside him, I understand that he can't play any tricks.

Jian Mei frowned, and without a moment of contemplation, he replied decisively: "I've been alone in the battlefield for many years, why don't you dare to gamble? How do you gamble?"

Seeing that Chen Tian agreed to take the bait, Xia Houyuan's sinister sneer flashed across the corner of his face for a moment, then he smiled and said, "I have heard that the generals under the King of Qiantang are brave enough to defeat ten thousand enemies, and today the general of our army wants to learn archery with your general. If you win, our army will quickly withdraw from Yuzhang, Qiu will return to Jiaozhou without any offense, and return Xu Shu."

"However, if you lose, our army will still withdraw, and you will cede dozens of cities including Jingnan Hengyang to our army."

Xia Houyuan's tone became extremely arrogant, and he sneered at Chen Tian defiantly, but Chen Tian was quite surprised to be cut off from Jingnan.

Jingnan was the place where Chen Tian had been storing grain and raising soldiers. If it was ceded to Xiao Xian, more than half of the combat power would be lost. But now that he has agreed to the competition, Chen Tian has nothing to say.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Tian took a look at the enemy lineup. Pang Wanchun shot down Shi Jin with one arrow, Ou Peng with two arrows, and Xia Houyuan hit the center of four arrows with one arrow.

Taking another look at Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun in his lineup, Zhang Fei's archery skills are just so-so. Zhao Yun bent his bow and set an arrow on the river to break the rope, so he shouldn't be weaker than Xia Houyuan and Pang Wanchun.

Chen Tian already understood Xia Houyuan's intentions, he just wanted to take Hengyang and other counties from him easily through the competition of archery.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xia Houyuan ordered someone to set up a platform beside the city wall, and a large round coin with a square hole was hung in the middle with a thin rope. The hole seemed to be about an inch or so.

"I'll show my ugliness first!"

Xia Houyuan steered his horse forward, stood proudly seventy steps away from the copper coin, took out a feathered arrow from his back and put it on the bow, frowned, and fixed his eyes on the hole of the copper coin seventy steps away.

Everyone stared at Xia Houyuan in unison, Zhang Fei said with a sarcasm, "I don't believe that Xia Houyuan can hit it with such a small hole seventy paces away."

The corners of Xia Houyuan's mouth twitched slightly, the veins in his arms were bulging, and the two-stone iron bow in his hand was drawn to the full moon, and the sound of muscle tension kept ringing.

"Give it to me!"

Xia Houyuan suddenly let out a low whistle, the tiger finger suddenly let go, and the arrow left the string and shot at the copper coin like a shooting star.

call!
There was no sound of impact, only the whistling sound of the air, that arrow seemed to have eyes, no more, no less, and it just happened to pass through the square hole in the middle of the copper coin.

"Amazing archery..."

Zhang Fei stared at Xia Houyuan dumbfounded, and Xiao Jun immediately cheered when he saw Xia Houyuan shoot the copper coin with an arrow.

Xia Houyuan put away his iron bow, smiled satisfied with his archery skills, turned his head to Chen Tian and the others and said with a smile, "You've made a fool of yourself. Next, please invite the King of Qiantang to show off your superb archery skills."

Xia Houyuan deliberately emphasized the word "exquisite", and said to Chen Tian provocatively.

Chen Tian himself hadn't even shot a few times with his bow, let alone a small copper coin, so he pinned his hopes on the two generals beside him.

"If I were a general, I could take Xiahouyuan down, but I'm not good at archery." Zhang Fei shook his head like a rattle, and immediately concluded that his archery was not at the same level as Xiahouyuan's.

Seeing Zhang Fei's veto, Chen Tian shifted his gaze to Zhao Yun.

A flash of surprise at Xiahouyuan's archery flashed in Zhao Yun's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, and he immediately cupped his hands and said, "General Xiahou, if my highness is asked to come down to compete in archery, I'm afraid it will scare you."

Before saying a word, Zhao Yun's brows were full of innate fortitude and self-confidence, and he said: "The young general Zhao Zilong has a little knowledge of archery, and he is willing to compete with General Xiahou. I wonder if General Xiahou will show respect?"

"General Zhao, please go ahead." Xia Houyuan replied disapprovingly with disdain on his ferocious face, not paying attention to Zhao Yun at all.

Zhao Yun turned his head and looked at Chen Tian, ​​Chen Tian nodded slightly, waved his hands and said, "Go, let them see how good you are."

Putting the silver spear in his hand into the soil, Zhao Yun replaced the two-stone seven-star bow on the side of the saddle, and in full view of the crowd, he rode his horse and stood seventy paces away from the copper coin.

In an instant, the dark clouds in the sky dissipated, and under the sunlight, Zhao Yun wore a white horse with a silver gun that scorched people's eyes, and his white robe was scattered by the wind. Slowly stretching into a full moon.

That ice-cold gaze stared at the soybean-sized copper coin hole in front of him like an eagle's eye, and then his gaze slowly moved up, fixed on the thin rope.

The rope kept swaying in the wind without stopping for a moment. At a certain moment, Zhao Yun's eyes suddenly became deep and clear, but there was no wave on his stern face, and he said a word proudly.

"Watch me shoot that string!"
