He said yes.

Liang Ping, who had been silent the whole time, now looked at He Yan with a completely different look. With the previous experiences, he knew that this young man would not just talk big, and since he agreed, it should at least be good.

Can he shoot a living thing?

"If you want to shoot wild animals, you have to go into the forest." Wang Ba said. The forest was on Baiyue Mountain. He looked at Liang Ping, who withdrew his thoughts and shook his head, saying, "No."

Wang Ba and He Yan were both new recruits. They had never been to Baiyue Mountain and were not familiar with the roads there. It would take some time for new recruits to enter the mountain, not now. He said, "Let's use flying birds as targets."

Flying birds… The recruits were surprised again. If wild animals were harder than straw targets, flying birds were definitely harder than wild animals. People were on the ground, and birds were in the sky, so the distances were naturally different. And shooting arrows from the ground into the sky required more powerful eyesight and arm strength.

Wang Ba laughed loudly, "Okay!"

He Yan also smiled and said, "No problem."

They both agreed so casually, but the recruits who had just calmed down became excited again. It seems that Wang Ba often goes up the mountain to shoot birds and wolves, but what about He Yan?

Xiao Mai quietly tugged at the corner of Shitou's clothes, "Brother, do you think Brother He can win?"

"I don't know." replied the stone.

Xiao Mai looked at his big brother in surprise. Shitou didn't deny it. Does this mean that He Yan could really hit the target?

"Go get your bows," Liang Ping said, and he told another recruit to do something. After listening to Coach Liang's instructions, the recruit turned around and found a copper gong on the rack in the martial arts arena. He took the copper gong and ran to the woods not far away.

After a moment, with a "dong" sound, he struck the bronze bell hard inside, and a series of "clacking" sounds were heard, startling countless wild birds.

Baiyue Mountain was densely forested and full of wild birds. Last time He Yan had seen the White-bellied Blue Swallow and the Green Pearl Sparrow. The wild birds quickly flew into the sky, and Wang Ba immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow. His movements were skillful, and he had a sense of ease when it came to catching the birds in the forest.

The arrow flew up into the sky, and a bird in the flock that was spreading its wings seemed to be hit by something and fell heavily. In the martial arts arena, people shouted in surprise: "Hit! Hit!" The new recruit picked up the arrow on the ground, and there was a red squeaking on it.

This is the prey of the tyrant.

Wang Ba looked at He Yan proudly.

He Yan smiled and casually drew her bow and aimed it at the sky. Her movements were faster than Wang Ba's, so fast that people wondered if she was aiming at her prey. However, the arrow had already flown out. The sun was very bright, blurring people's vision, so that people could not tell the direction of the arrow for a moment.

Shitou stared at the sky without blinking, and after a while he said, "I got it."

"Really?" Hong Shan looked suspicious, "Why can't I see clearly?"

In a corner of the martial arts arena, another voice was heard, "I found He Yan's arrow! Here!" He ran to Liang Ping with the arrow, "Here!"

There was a willow string hanging on the arrow.

Liang Ping and Wang Ba looked at He Yan at the same time.

The former is the surprise of suddenly discovering that the person in front of him is a treasure, while the latter is full of disbelief.

How did he do it?

Wang Ba gripped the bow tightly in his hand and said, "Come again!" He shouted at the new soldier who was beating the gong, "Keep going!"

The new recruits struck the gong a few times, and a large flock of birds immediately flew out from the woods. Wang Ba put several arrows in his hands at the same time and fired them all at once!

Several arrows shot up into the sky at the same time, but it was hard to tell whether they had hit the target or not. But a moment later, someone in the martial arts arena shouted excitedly, "It hit the target! The arrow is here!"

He can hit the target every time he shoots arrows simultaneously. This person is one in a hundred. No, it can be said that he is one in a thousand. What about He Yan?

Everyone looked at He Yan again. He Yan smiled slightly and imitated Wang Ba, putting several arrows on the bow at the same time.

The bow was fully drawn, and there was a relaxed smile on the boy's face, as if he was one of the young people who went for an outing on the banks of the Si River, casually practicing archery.

She drew her bow.

Arrows also rushed into the flock of birds. The birds dodged in panic. Someone in the martial arts arena shouted, "Hit it! I caught the arrow!"

When he brought the arrow to the coach, he hit the target without missing a beat.

"You!" Wang Ba gritted his teeth, turned around and carried the quiver on his back, "I don't believe that you are lucky every time!" He drew his bow and shot arrows continuously, intending to shoot all the arrows in the quiver.

Each quiver contained twenty arrows, with different feather colors, to help the new recruits distinguish them during practice. Wang Ba took the red feathers, and He Yan picked the green ones. She followed Wang Ba's example and continued shooting arrows.

For a moment, neither of them spoke. All they could hear were the constant clanging of bells in the woods and the startled cries of birds in the sky.

"It's so beautiful! So interesting!" Cheng Lisu's eyes lit up as he watched, grabbing Liang Ping's arm and praising him, "This is much more interesting than the hunting grounds in the capital! Coach Liang, why are your soldiers so interesting? How did you find such talents?"

Liang Ping smiled apologetically, but he was also very confused in his heart. He didn't know either! A Wang Ba was already a pleasant surprise. Now there was another He Yan. Liang Ping simply wondered if he was dreaming.

Twenty arrows were used up in a moment.

The new recruits on the martial arts field were also enthusiastic, collecting the fallen arrows and bringing them to Coach Liang. Twenty red arrows, every one of them hit the target, and twenty green arrows, every one of them hit the target.

Among the new recruits of Liangzhou Guard, there are actually two archers who can shoot rocks and drink feathers without missing a single shot. Liang Ping thought that he would probably be promoted, and even if he was not promoted, his monthly salary should also increase.

"I didn't expect Brother He to be so powerful..." Xiao Mai was stunned and muttered to himself.

"I didn't expect that," Hong Shan hadn't come back to his senses yet, "If I had known, I would have bet on Ah He to win..."

That's right, the bet is not over yet. Hong Shan's words seemed to remind everyone, and a new soldier suddenly shouted: "This...this is a draw! Didn't He Yan and Wang Ba have the same result? Then how do we count this round?"

Yeah, how does this work?

Wang Ba lowered his head, and no one knew what he was thinking. After a moment, he raised his head with a gloomy expression, "You didn't win."

"Yes," He Yan did not deny it. She even sincerely praised the other party, "Your archery skills are too good. I was too confident."

"Then even if it's a draw, you still didn't beat me today." Wang Ba said. At this point, he was a little panicked. In fact, He Yan could fly with him like a bird, which meant that he was on par with him in other bow and crossbow techniques.

He couldn't find any other way to defeat He Yan.

"I said ten days ago that I would definitely beat you in ten days. Now that the winner is still unknown, how can we have a draw?" He Yan fanned the air with his hand, "Since you can't think of a way to compete, how about I suggest one?"

Yanyan, who was thought to be bronze, was actually a king.
