Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 137 Houyi Camp

The small island is not big, with a radius of only seven or eight miles. Turning to the back of the mountain, a small-scale camp appeared in front of Liang Xiao.At a glance, there are about twenty tents with about 200 people.

However, before entering the camp, Liang Xiao felt a different atmosphere.This camp is relatively well-organized, unlike the random camps I saw before.The camp used thick logs to erect fences and gate towers. On each gate tower, there were two soldiers with bows and crossbows patrolling. Even if Zhong Liqi entered the camp, he had to report his password.

After entering the camp, two groups of soldiers approached, one group of five soldiers, staggered forward and backward, more than ten steps apart, parallel to left and right, three steps apart, it was a standard small formation of two troops.Although the ten soldiers were not tall, they were full of energy and had vigilant eyes. When they saw Zhong Liqi, they saluted from a distance and turned to other directions.

"Is this the master's personal guard camp?"

"This is the Shesheng Battalion trained by the general. It's your senior brother." Zhong Liqi said while pointing to the battle flag of the Chinese Army.Liang Xiao looked up and saw the battle flag dancing with the wind, a bow was vaguely visible on it, and the arrow pointed directly at the red sun, like a pool of blood.

"Shoot the sun?"

Zhong Liqi glanced at Liang Xiao with contempt: "Houyi Battalion. However, we are all called Shesheng Battalion. The general plans to train a battalion of archers in two to three years."

Liang Xiao was taken aback.A battalion of archers?I'll go, that's a real special operations battalion.With such a battalion, who else can defeat him in the mountains and forests?However, as soon as he rolled his eyes, he was happy again.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhong Liqi felt guilty.

"Uncle Zhongli, don't make fun of me. My master is bluffing me, don't take it seriously. If archers are so easy to train, what are you talking about?"

Zhong Liqi was so embarrassed that he had no choice but to keep a straight face and lead Liang Xiao to the big tent.Standing at the door of the big tent, Liang Xiao looked up at the big banner embroidered with bows and arrows, shrugged his shoulders, laughed twice, and walked into the big tent with his head down.

Huan Yuan was sitting in the tent, holding a bamboo cup, and was drinking. When he heard Liang Xiao's footsteps, he didn't raise his head. He took a sip of the wine and said unhurriedly, "You seem to be interested in my Hou Yi. Do you not agree?"

Liang Xiao took a look.Apart from Huan Yuan and Zhong Liqi, there are two young Yue people in the big tent.A man and a woman, the man is handsome, the woman is slim, with dark complexion, but they are both strong and strong, with a horned bow that is rarely seen among Yue people on their backs.Seeing Liang Xiao coming in, they all looked over, with curiosity and dissatisfaction in their eyes.

Liang Xiao smiled, took out his own bow from the quiver behind him, and placed it on the table in front of Huan Yuan.

"Master, my bow was custom-made in the most famous bow shop in Chang'an after I arrived in Chang'an. It is worth one gold and the strength of the bow is one stone. Besides you, if anyone else can draw this bow of mine, I am willing to give it to you." Giving it to him from Zhang Gong is regarded as a meeting gift from the elder brother. How about it?"

"Bold! How dare you be rude to the captain." The girl behind Huan Yuan snarled, picked up the bow with her left hand, stretched her right hand behind her back, and went to get the arrow.Before she could draw the arrow out of the quiver, Liang Xiao got up suddenly, picked up the bow on the case, nocked the arrow, drew the bow, loosened the string, and let the arrow go, as fast as lightning, all in one go.

"Om—" The bowstring was still vibrating, Liang Xiao had already shot an arrow, and hit the quiver on the girl's back, not only piercing the quiver, but also piercing the tent behind her.A ray of sunlight shone in, illuminating her earlobe, crystal clear as jade.

The girl stared wide-eyed, stared at Liang Xiao in a daze, and slowly pulled out the arrow, but there was only half of it.

The arrow she was about to draw had already been broken by Liang Xiao through the quiver.

Liang Xiao sat down again, and without looking at the girl again, he put the bow in front of Huan Yuan, the corner of his mouth slightly raised. "Master, it seems that the qualifications of my juniors and younger sisters are really not very good."

"You..." The girl's face was flushed, her almond eyes widened, she threw the half-broken arrow on the ground, and stretched out her hand to pull it out again.

"Okay." Huan Yuan snorted lightly: "Regardless of archery skills and xinxing, you have already lost. He is your senior brother, and he started a year earlier than you. It is not wrong to lose to him."

The girl glared at Liang Xiao unwillingly, touched her cheek, and retreated.The boy's expression sank, and he took a step forward. "Master, I want to try the bow of Eldest Brother."

Huan Yuan looked up at him, then at Liang Xiao, the corners of his mouth trembling slightly. "Okay, try it."

The young man turned around and walked to the case, bowed to Huan Yuan, stretched out his hand to pick up the bow, and glanced at Liang Xiao again, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Senior brother, are you serious?"

"One word from a gentleman is hard to follow. In front of the master, can I, a senior brother, still lie to you juniors and juniors?" Liang Xiao didn't even look at him, but only looked at Huan Yuan, with a faint smile on his lips.Huan Yuan's face was as sinking as water, and he couldn't see any expression, but his eyes were a little tangled.

The teenagers didn't notice their master's eye contact. After listening to Liang Xiao's words, without saying a word, he took a deep breath, bent over, stood up, and opened his bow. The posture was exactly the same as Liang Xiao's bow opening posture. It was obviously trained by Huan Yuan himself. disciple.

However, he couldn't fully draw Liang Xiao's bow, he only drew two-thirds of it and couldn't draw it anymore. He tried again, but he still couldn't do it.Just as he was about to try for the third time, the girl stomped her feet and shouted: "Idiot, his bow is bigger than ours. Your arm is not long enough to draw it."

"Puchi!" Liang Xiao finally couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.Laughing and shaking his head.

The boy woke up like a dream, his face was flushed, and he lowered his bow embarrassingly.

The size of the bow depends on each person's physical condition. If you are tall and have long arms, you can use a large bow. If you are not tall enough and have enough arm strength, you can use a hard bow.Seeing that Liang Xiao was similar in stature to his own, the young man thought that the bow was similar, at most it was just a little harder.Liang Xiao also said that this is a stone bow, and he is so strong that he can open a stone bow, so he wanted to try it, trying to take away Liang Xiao's bow and frustrate Liang Xiao's spirit.

But he forgot one thing, Liang Xiao's body was about the same as his, but his arms were longer.Liang Xiao's bow is not only hard, but also a big bow, with only arm strength, no arm length, it still cannot be fully drawn.He didn't lose in strength, but in arm length.

In other words, he was fooled by Liang Xiao and lost his face for nothing.

Liang Xiao put away the bow and inserted it back into the quiver. "Master, if my guess is right, these two should be your most proud disciples besides me. They are nothing more than that, so don't others have to try again?"

The girl shouted unconvinced: "It's just a trick, what's there to brag about, if you have the ability, you and I will go to the mountains and forests for a life-and-death battle."

"When the two armies are fighting, the one who counts more wins. Before the competition, the most important thing is to observe the enemy's formation. If you can rush into the battle without observing the opponent clearly, how can you still hope to win?" Liang Xiao said unhurriedly, eyes But staring at Huan Yuan. "Master, you have no chance of winning, why don't you just accept it?"

"Who said I have no chance of winning?" Huan Yuan laughed softly. "Li Guang sent you here to deal with me, right? You are in my hands now, who else can deal with me? Their archery skills are indeed not as good as yours, but they are more than enough to deal with Kuaiji County soldiers. You say Yes or no?"

Liang Xiao's expression changed, his body moved, and before he could stand up, the young man rushed over, his hands were like iron tongs, firmly pressing his shoulders.The girl stretched her bow and drew the arrow, pointing the arrow at his face, and shouted sharply: "Don't move, or the arrow will kill you."
