Chapter 46 I Will Defeat You



Everyone stared at He Yan's movements.

The young man walked over to the crossbow. Compared to his thin body, the crossbow was not proportional to her at all. She picked up the crossbow, pulled a feathered arrow from the quiver, and put her finger on it.

Wang Ba looked at her with disdain and said, "Put on some strength. Don't act like you did yesterday, putting on airs for a long time and then saying you couldn't pull away."

He Yan seemed not to hear his words, but Hong Shan was a little nervous, secretly sweating for He Yan. The new recruits in the army were all about admiring the strong, and He Yan was not a woman, so they would not have any sympathy for her. They would only think that he was weak, and the weak were not worthy of sympathy. If he was also a boaster, he would be looked down upon even more. He Yan made a promise yesterday, and if he could not do it today, not only would the coach secretly despise him, but in the future in the barracks, others would also be ashamed to associate with him and would not be friendly to him.

I gave up yesterday without even trying to pull it. Do I think I will be able to pull it today?

The young man stared at the target, and from this direction, his hands were very steady, and his eyes were downcast like a hunting beast, quietly waiting for the moment to leap.

The bow was drawn.

Little by little, not easily, but slowly, without any trembling, it was pulled slowly. Unlike yesterday, you can see that the bow is slowly opening.

"It's moving..." Xiao Mai pulled the corner of Shitou's clothes excitedly, "Brother, Brother He has pulled the bow!"

He knew that He Yan had said he could do it countless times!

The crowd was filled with whispers. Wang Ba had not expected this to happen. He was stunned at first, and then immediately felt angry as if he had been slapped in the face. He gritted his teeth and stood there, wanting to see what kind of superb archery skills He Yan could display. Meanwhile, Coach Liang, who had originally held out little hope, was also attracted by He Yan's movements.

This boy is really good. Yesterday he said he could draw the bow today, and today he really did. How did he do it in one day? Could it be that he was just pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger yesterday, saying he couldn't do it even though he could, just to show off like this?

While everyone was discussing, the bow had already been almost half opened. He Yan stopped and did not continue to pull it down.

This is her limit.

She let go of her hand, and the arrow flew steadily and swiftly towards the target!

Everyone stared at the tail feathers of the arrow.

The arrow was heading for the target, but it did not reach it, and fell powerlessly in the middle. The crowd watching the excitement sighed with regret, as if the arrow should have undoubtedly hit the center of the target.

He Yan withdrew his hand.

Xiao Mai was the first to jump out. He ran to He Yan's side, his eyes sparkling as he said, "Brother He, you really pulled the bow!"

"Great!" Hong Shan also came over and patted He Yan on the shoulder, "You are amazing!"

Although Shitou didn't say anything, he smiled and looked very happy. Coach Liang also gave He Yan an affirmative look.

Seeing this, the new recruits who were watching the excitement gradually started to talk.

"I was really moved by him. It seems he wasn't just bragging."

"It's just luck. I just happened to be lucky enough to be pulled along."

"Luck is also a kind of strength, and he did what he said, which is good."

Wang Ba was a little confused.

He came to see He Yan make a fool of himself, but in the end, it seemed like He Yan was the one who got the limelight. You know, he looked at the target that fell in the middle, and He Yan didn't hit the target at all, he didn't even touch the edge of the target. If it were someone else, this would be considered a very poor result, but why did he almost applaud and cheer for him?

Did he make a mistake?

Wang Ba was unconvinced and said, "Isn't it just pulling the bow? Ask how many soldiers in this barracks can pull the bow? I'm afraid all of them can, except you. What's so great about that?"

"Me?" He Yan pointed at himself and laughed, "But I'm the exception who can't pull it. I couldn't pull it a day ago, but I can pull it a day later. That's amazing."

She smiled happily, and Wang Ba was so angry that he said, "I don't accept it!"

"What are you dissatisfied with?" He Yan asked.

Wang Ba is a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. He worships the strong and despises the weak. He is naturally not in the eye of someone as "weak" as He Yan. In addition, he has a grudge against He Yan in the past, so he will not be happy unless he finds some trouble for He Yan.

"How can someone like you be a new recruit and train with us?" Wang Ba turned to Coach Liang, "Coach Liang, I don't accept it!"

Coach Liang looked at them calmly, without any intention of interjecting. He was the coach, not their superior. After these new recruits were trained here, they might be stationed in Liangzhouwei, or they might follow Xiao Jue to other places, but they were not his men. His responsibility was only to teach them basic skills and select some good ones. It was the generals' job to make them soldiers in the final formation.

Do we have to lose a very talented Wang Ba with a bow and crossbow for a He Yan who doesn't look particularly good?

"You don't have to embarrass Coach Liang." He Yan glanced at Liang Ping and knew what he was thinking. The coaches here were very cunning and would definitely make some trade-offs at this time. She looked at Wang Ba, "Tell me what you want."

Wang Ba laughed and said, "You go be a team leader."

"No." He Yan refused without thinking, "Why?"

"On what basis?" Wang Ba said, "Just because you couldn't draw the bow yesterday, and you shot so badly today, your friends actually cheered for you. Don't tell me that in the future, when we are on the battlefield, all the soldiers of Wei will be like you, using bows and crossbows in a mess and unable to kill a single enemy. Will people still cheer for them? What kind of soldiers are they?"

Wow, He Yan couldn't help but applaud Wang Ba in her heart. They said that he was a rough mountain bandit who didn't know how to write. Now it seems that he is cunning and speaks in a high-sounding manner. When she first entered the barracks, she was not so eloquent. She is worthy of being the leader of the mountain. Otherwise, how can she be the boss if she can't bluff people?

Fortunately, she has been in the military for many years and has seen this kind of battle before.

"Yes, you are right." The young man brushed away a strand of hair from his forehead, paused, and then spoke, "But you can see that I couldn't draw the bow yesterday, but I can today. You hit the target yesterday, and you hit it again today."

Everyone looked at her, not understanding what she meant.

"I am getting better day by day, but you are just getting worse day by day. If this continues, in ten days, I will be able to hit that straw target, but you will still only be able to hit this straw target."

"In ten days, I will defeat you." She said word by word.
