Chapter 212 Competing in Archery
Chen Jianjun got a satisfactory answer and turned around and walked out of the tent proudly.
Xue Wanche was sitting in the tent, and he could hear the military officer Chen commanding Xue Wanche's soldiers high above and make a good place for him to live and use.
Xue Wanche's eyes were dark, as if he was thinking carefully about what to do in a battle tomorrow.
The next day.
Xue Wanche took people to the agreed place to go to the appointment as promised. When he arrived, Dongfang Ming was already waiting there early. Seeing him coming, Dongfang Ming smiled and asked, "What are you going to compare today?"
With his backhand, he took off the bow and arrow behind him, raised his head high, and Xue Wanche said loudly: "How about we compare arrows?"
As we all know, Xue Wanche's archery technique is unique, and there is no one in the world who can surpass him.
Compared with strength and wisdom, Xue Wanche can be called the best, but not the strongest. But when it comes to archery, as long as Xue Wanche is called second, no one dares to be called first.
Many people are afraid of Xue Wanche's arrows and never dare to compete with him. Therefore, it has been a long time since he has experienced this indulging in love with others without any scruples.
It has to be said that the first two fights with Dongfang Ming ended in Xue Wanche's failure. He refused to admit defeat, but he had long recognized Dongfang Ming's strength in his heart.
This feeling of meeting opponents made Xue Wanche feel very satisfying.
In fact, if you only talk about competition, Xue Wanche does not like to attack the weak with his own strength. He will feel ashamed of bullying the weak.
The more people were clamoring to see Xue Wanche use the bow and arrow, the less Xue Wanche wanted to use his beloved bow and arrow. Because this made him feel like a clown, playing monkey play for those foolish people.
But the general secretary of the village has already passed the orders of the camp leader to the position.
Zhai Rang hopes that this war can come to an end as soon as possible, so even if Xue Wanche is still unsatisfied, he must fight quickly and end the war.
Otherwise, Xue Wanche would be suspected of being dereliction of duty and collusion with enemies. This would be unbearable slander and suspicion for Xue Wanche, who has always been upright and upright.
Moreover, although Chen Jianjun is so tired of dealing with people, there is a saying that is right.
When fighting, there is only the result but no process. No matter what means you use, as long as you can achieve results that are beneficial to you, it will be useful.
So Xue Wanche still decided to compete with Dongfang Ming for archery.
However, Xue Wanche's archery is famous and everyone knows it. Anyone who is wise and cherishes his life should not want to face it head-on. So he is also prepared for Dongfang Minghui to refuse.
If Dongfang Ming refused to compete with Xue Wanche in comparison with archery, Xue Wanche would change his words as if he were good. After all, he spoke first and compared with archery.
Dongfang Ming did not have to agree to Xue Wanche's request, he had the right to reject Xue Wanche.
The strengths of oneself attack the enemy's weaknesses are not what a gentleman does. Xue Wanche is already guilty of his heart.
Surprisingly, Dongfang Ming only thought for a while and agreed: "Okay, then compare archery! How do you want to compare?"
On the contrary, Xue Wanche was stunned. He thought Dongfang Ming would definitely refuse, but he didn't think about how to compete in detail.
Xue Wanche pondered for a while and said in a tentative tone: "We each have three arrows, and we are a hundred meters apart. Then shoot three arrows at the other side in turn. Those who are aimed can avoid within the specified range. You and I have three arrows to determine life and death. After the three arrows, the person who is still standing wins."
After thinking about it, this is what Xue Wanche thinks is the fairest comparison.
Of course, this justice is just relative justice. In the eyes of others, if Xue Wanche can penetrate the sun for hundreds of steps, how could he shoot in the air?
Moreover, Xue Wanche also stipulated a range that can be avoided. In a limited range, isn’t it just a target? He will definitely hit all three arrows and take Dongfang Ming’s life without any effort.
This battle is about life and death, and Xue Wanche has a little bit of a sense of taking advantage of others' danger.
Even Xue Wanche himself felt that his request seemed a bit despicable, and he couldn't help but blush.
But Dongfang Ming agreed without hesitation! He only heard him say very simply: "Okay, then that's how to compare."
After the bet was settled, Xue Wanche specially proposed that each party send one person to draw a boundary for the other party in order to show justice. Dongfang Ming happily agreed.
Draw a circle about one inch with their respective feet as the center. This is the range where the two can move.
Dongfang Ming gently moved his feet and gestured, and found that the space for movement was actually very narrow. No matter which way he was headed, he could only move one small step at most.
Xue Wanche felt the same way.
The two looked at each other and made sure that they were ready.
Xue Wanche spoke first: "You come first." He has already made such a request. If he still takes the initiative, it would be too shameless. Xue Wanche naturally couldn't do it and did not want to be criticized in the future.
Dongfang Ming did not refuse and raised the bow and arrow from his soldiers to his eyes. He gently raised the bow string, as if he was testing the strength of the bow and arrow, and looked like a person who was not very proficient in Gong Jiande.
The bystanders were even more convinced that Dongfang Ming and the archer Xue Wanche would definitely lose compared to archery.
What a huge joke about a person who knows nothing about bows and arrows trying to defeat an archer master?
Xue Wanche patiently waited for Dongfang Ming to develop without urging him. When he had absolute confidence, it was a kind of demeanor to remain calm.
Without seeing how Dongfang Ming acted, he was caught off guard by an arrow on the bowstring. Even if everyone knew that Dongfang Ming was not archery, his throat tightened and his eyes followed the shadow.
Xue Wanche's eyes were already focused on Dongfang Ming. The first time Dongfang Ming shot the arrow, Xue Wanche was already tense and ready to dodge at the right time.
But Xue Wanche was ready to go, and the speeding arrow seemed to have insufficient momentum and fell down softly one step away from Xue Wanche.
Everyone's eyes were concentrated on the arrow lying quietly on the ground, and they didn't know what to say.
"Oh, I'm useless to be strong. Sorry, everyone, I'm laughing." The person who should be ashamed of this said carelessly.
This arrow exposed Dongfang Ming's true archery skills, and everyone had no expectations for him in an instant.
Next, it was Xue Wanche's turn to take action.
It was a rare opportunity to see the archers take action. They were excitedly staring at Xue Wanche's every move.
Xue Wanche bent his bow and arrow in one go, and his movements were flowing without any stagnation. Seeing this, this movement seemed as natural as breathing for him. He didn't even spend too much time aiming and predicting, and he put the arrow out with his hands.
Although Xue Wanche's movements seemed to be calm and gentle, the "swish" sound of breaking through the air when the arrow flew showed extraordinary features. This sound was powerful and was definitely not something that ordinary people could stop.
If Dongfang Ming is shot by just this arrow, he will undoubtedly die. Xue Wanche does not need three arrows at all to take human life.
Everyone looked at Dongfang Ming and wanted to know how Dongfang Ming would avoid this arrow.
Dongfang Ming was relaxed and swung his body freely. He didn't move much under his feet, but the fatal arrow wiped his sleeves and flew into the land behind him.
