Chapter 42 Children's Play
On the first day of the archery assessment, only more than 200 people passed the test. Those who failed in archery were directly disqualified from continuing. There was still a joyous atmosphere during the day, but at night there were cries everywhere, with nearly half of them crying.
The elimination rate was only the first game, which caused a group of candidate generals who were full of enthusiasm and longing for the future to have ice water poured on their heads in an instant.
Facts have proved that, whether it is the test of military art or martial arts, only a small number of people can pass the test.
It was only then that most people realized that there were only 60 generals selected this time, and these 60 people had to be selected from more than 400 people, and only one in seven people would be chosen.
"Mo Lang, your archery skills are really amazing!" Cui Geng sat on the couch with a tired look. Pulling the bow thirty times was no joke. At that time, he was just tired. By night, his whole arm was sore.
sharp.
"You must have some talent." Chen Mo leaned against the wall. He was also very tired. He almost lost strength at that time. Even now, he still can't lift his entire right arm.
"Tomorrow is a foot combat competition. How can we fight with others like this?" Cui Geng rubbed his arm and said helplessly: "I wonder if it will be postponed for a few days?"
"Probably not." Chen Mo shook his head: "I'm afraid the eunuch doesn't know the hardships I'm going through, and the new army has arrived, so I'm afraid there won't be much time for me to rest."
From the moment he entered the West Garden, Chen Mo sensed a sense of anxiety from Gao Shun. It was obvious that the talent needed this time was more urgent, and judging from today's archery assessment, I'm afraid the eunuch didn't know the strength of the bow at all.
, I just thought it was very simple.
"I miss that evil thief Gao Shun a little!" Cui Geng suddenly laughed.
In the past, Gao Shun trained them until they cried for their parents every day, but he at least acted in a measured manner and wouldn't be as random as Qian Shuo. Now Qian Shuo doesn't understand anything, so he just comes in and gives them random orders, giving them battle strength on the first day.
It's all a loss. I'm afraid tomorrow's competition will be a joke.
Chen Mo nodded, but this was a good thing for himself, because no matter how tired he was the day before, he could always recover the next day, but it would not be easy for others to recover. At least their combat strength would be greatly reduced tomorrow.
Come and you will have more opportunities.
Of course, Chen Mo didn't tell anyone this. He just stood up and took off his coat and said, "Let's rest early. Maybe we can recover more tomorrow."
After saying that, he began to pay homage to the System Immortal. This was something he had to do before going to bed every day. Cui Geng and other people who stayed with him were not surprised. These days, there are people who believe in everything, but the System Immortal is the only one who believes in everything.
Which god with tiny horns is he? I’ve never heard of it.
There was nothing to say all night. Early the next morning, when more than two hundred people who had passed the customs yesterday gathered here, they looked in the direction of the general platform with a bit of resentment in their eyes.
Some of my arms are swollen. How can I compete in this state?
"Cough~" Qian Shuo naturally felt the resentment and coughed slightly: "Yesterday's archery competition included not only the archery test, but also the physical strength test. Congratulations to all of you for successfully passing the test today.
, you will take turns to compete, and finally select one hundred and twenty people for tomorrow's horse battle."
Taking turns against each other? One day?
Everyone was shocked when they heard the news. How could this compare?
"Shuo Gong!" Wang Yue looked at Qian Shuo with some embarrassment: "All the soldiers drew thirty bows in a row yesterday, and their strength was exhausted. In today's competition, I'm afraid they won't have the strength to compete with others in turn."
Wang Yue could almost imagine that if they really took turns to fight against each other, in the end, this group of people would probably be wiped out.
"Mr. Zi Rui also wants to question my policy?" Qian Shuo looked at Wang Yue dissatisfied.
"Shuo Gong!" Wang Yue was a little helpless and angry, but he still pressed his chest and bowed: "There are more than two hundred people here. If we take turns to fight, I'm afraid everyone will have to fight with more than two hundred people.
, although this is not a battle on the battlefield, you still need to go all out to win. Even a single battle may exhaust your energy. Who can fight more than two hundred people in a row?"
"I heard that Xiang Ji was able to carry a cauldron in the past!" Qian Shuo frowned.
"Shuo Gong, what kind of person is Xiang Ji? He just came out after thousands of years! Could it be that Shuo Gong thinks that all soldiers are Xiang Ji?" Wang Yue was a little desperate, because people are different.
Qian Shuo actually never thought of going to such trouble. When he heard this, he frowned and thought: "In this case, we will catch each other and kill each other. We will choose half first. If there are less than 120 people, we will choose from the remaining people."
Choose.”
Wang Yue nodded helplessly. Although it was not very good, it was at least more reliable than taking turns to fight.
At that moment, Wang Yue looked at the soldiers and said, "You should also hear what Mr. Shuo said just now. Fight two by two, and the winner can participate in the horse fighting competition tomorrow."
Originally, Wang Yue agreed to come over to see if there was any chance for him to enter the official career. But now it seems that the trouble with the Xiyuan General was like child's play in the end. It would have been good if he was not jointly punished in the end.
, taking this opportunity to enter an official career, he did not have extravagant expectations, he just wanted to end it as soon as possible and return to the palace to continue teaching the prince swordsmanship.
All the soldiers in the school were in an uproar when they heard this. Is this really the general chosen by Xiyuan? Is this really the general chosen by the emperor?
Even those who boasted about their extraordinary strength were a little bit murmuring at this moment. Isn't this too childish?
Chen Mo was a little bored when he heard this. This selection of Xiyuan generals might end in a farce.
Just when he was about to find an opponent to pass the test, his shoulders sank and he turned around to look, but it was the man who was chattering behind him yesterday. He frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"
"Hey~" the strong man chuckled: "How about I fight with you today?"
"Don't bully others too much!" Cui Geng, who was on the side, frowned and glared at the other party. It was obvious that he was here to bully others.
"Okay!" Chen Mo was also a little annoyed. He stopped Cui Geng, looked at him and said, "It's up to you."
Thinking about the possibility of working with this person in the future, it would be better to kick this person out first.
If it was a fight yesterday, Chen Mo wouldn't be so sure. Although the opponent's brain is not very good, when it comes to fighting, no matter the physique or strength, Chen Mo can't compare with it. Half a month of self-abuse training, although Chen Mo has
It will definitely improve, but the gap between them will be difficult to make up in a short period of time.
In this way, although Qian Shuo is ignorant, what happened yesterday did Chen Mo a big favor. He is now full of physical strength and agile, but although the opponent is strong, it will be difficult for him to recover overnight.
"Hey~" The strong man felt happy when he heard this. The most bullied person in this camp seemed to be the youngest. He immediately pulled Chen Mo into the school grounds. There were solid wood weapons for people to choose from on the weapons rack.
He stretched out his hand and took out the heaviest wooden tree. Although it was made of wood, it was not light in weight.
Chen Mo chose a wooden sword, not because he couldn't use other swords, but for foot combat, the sword was too bulky and difficult to use, and the sword was light and agile, which made it easier.
"Have you made your choice?" The strong man looked at the wooden sword in Chen Mo's hand with some disdain. Although he was from a wealthy family, he didn't think highly of swords.
"Stop talking, finish the fight quickly, I'm tired!" Chen Mo waved to him. He was really tired, not physically, but mentally. He was full of ambitions and wanted to be among the new army.
It's hard to say what the new army will be like in the end. He has to think carefully about the future.
"Then I will send you down." The strong man was not angry. He was already sure of victory in this battle. When the immortal showed the way, he stabbed Chen Mo's chest with the long spear in his hand.
This move should have been majestic, but his right arm opened too sharply yesterday and was so weak now that this move naturally felt a little soft. Chen Mo easily avoided it and followed closely.
Then he grabbed it closer.
An inch long means strong, an inch short means dangerous. Most people who practice martial arts understand this truth. The advantage of a long man lies in distance. If Chen Mo wants to win against him, he has to bully the closer. The strong man wants to retreat, but Chen Mo is extremely fast.
, he quickly rushed closer in the blink of an eye, and connected with the wooden sword in his hand. The strong man only felt a pain from the tiger's mouth. He instinctively let go of his palm, and the wooden stick fell to the ground. Chen Mo's wooden arrow was already pointed at the throat of the confused strong man.
.
"You lost!" Chen Mo didn't even look at the opponent. He turned to look at the general on the sidelines of the school who was responsible for determining the outcome.
"Chen Mosheng!"
