Chapter 62 Recruit Competition (1)
The reason why Xiao Se was not optimistic about the third battalion recruit squadron was mainly because she watched the recruit training with a cold eye and found that there were many talented recruits in the first and second battalions. Although it can't be said to be accurate beyond 200 yards, there is no problem in controlling the arrow within a certain range. In comparison, the quality of the recruits in the third and fourth battalions was obviously worse. Although the Maori squadron leader was good at commanding troops, his talent was better. In just a few months in the recruit camp, the balance of strength cannot be changed by hard work and deficiencies.
Zhou Weiqing was standing next to Captain Maori and whispered: "Captain, point me to the more eye-catching recruits on the opposite side."
Mao Li looked at him doubtfully and said: "What are you doing?"
Zhou Weiqing chuckled, took off the Zichen Bow on his back, and whispered: "Give them a roll call!"
Mao Li's eyes widened. Liang, he was worried at first, and he didn't think much about Zhou Weiqing's participation in the recruit competition. In his opinion, Zhou Weiqing was just a little successful in cultivating his natural power, but archery is a technical activity, and It doesn't just take a lot of strength. But when he heard Zhou Weiqing say the word roll call, he was greatly surprised, because the word roll call is a term among archers, which means to shoot. Generally, only archers who have had a master know this kind of thing. statement. Obviously, the battalion commander's new recruit, the little guy who even touched the battalion commander's breasts, is not a novice in archery.
"Okay, I'll tell you now, you remember. The fifth and ninth ones from the left side on the opposite side..."
Shangguan Bing'er stood on the side of the archer recruits competition position and watched coldly, she The one who paid the most attention was naturally Zhou Xiaopang. Seeing him and Captain Maoli whispering there, I couldn't help but be curious about what they were talking about.
"Batalion Commander, which battalion of soldiers do you think will win in the end?" The bleak voice habitually appeared in Shangguan Bing'er's ears.
Shangguan Bing'er turned to look at him and said: "Of course it's our third battalion. I have confidence in Captain Maoli's ability to lead the army."
Xiao Se curled his lips and said sarcastically: "This is just a recruit camp. These are a group of recruits who have never been on the battlefield and have never seen blood. How effective can simple training be? It depends on talent. Of course, battalion commander, you have not seen this batch of recruits at the recruit training ground. Naturally, you don’t know about this batch of recruits. Which one is better?"
Shangguan Bing'er frowned slightly, no longer paying attention to Xiao Se, and took a step forward, shouting: "The recruit competition has begun."
The recruit competition in the three areas covered a very large area, but Shangguan Bing'er's clear and melodious voice was clearly heard by every soldier on the battlefield. Her eighth level of natural energy made her His Tianli is already very basic.
Xiao Se listened to Shangguan Bing'er's voice and clenched her fists hard. The biggest shortcoming in her life was that she failed to awaken her natal pearl and become a pearl master. Although she worked hard in other aspects, But it can't change this fact.
With Shangguan Bing'er's order, the recruit competition officially began. The light infantry and heavy infantry have begun to charge. And four squadrons of archer recruits also launched their first salvo.
After all, after three months of recruit training, this first round of volleys was pretty impressive. Two hundred arrows on each side, with their arrowheads removed and stained with white ash, shot out and went straight to the opposite side. Although the recruits had been practicing for three months, this was their first time shooting against someone like this. They were so excited that many of their arrows missed. After shooting, they just stood there and watched. Arrows shot by oneself.
Zhou Weiqing was inconspicuous among the new recruits. He shot out an arrow. While the other recruits were still stunned, he quickly stepped back and turned his body around. Hide behind other recruits and crouch down at the same time to minimize the chance of being hit by the opponent.
"Ah, ah..." Exclamations rang out one after another. One after another, the recruits were shot by arrows stained with white ash. Under the command of each squadron leader, those who were shot must withdraw from the battlefield immediately and are not allowed to continue to participate. Recruit competition.
As soon as Zhou Weiqing heard a series of exclamations, he stood up again. Zichen's bow was like a full moon. While others were still looking for arrows, his second arrow had already been shot with lightning speed. With the speed of Zichen's bow, how could these new soldiers get out of the way? .
"Little Fatty, what a good archery skill." Mao Li shouted in surprise. Just like what Zhou Weiqing said before, when the first arrow was shot, he successfully named a man in the opposite battalion who was pointed out by Mao Li. An outstanding recruit.
However, compared with Mao Li's surprise, Shangguan Bing'er's face was much uglier. As a Dzi Bead Master, she naturally had amazing eyesight. After this round of shooting, she clearly discovered that the Third Battalion and the Fourth Battalion were On one side, the number of troops was reduced by as many as forty, while the first and second battalions on the opposite side only had more than ten people. There is no doubt that this means a huge gap in the quality of recruits. No wonder Xiao Se looks so confident.
After the shooting began, Zhou Weiqing seemed to have changed. He was as flexible as a civet cat. The powerful Zichen bow was in his hand, opening and closing like lightning. After each shot, With one arrow, he could always find other recruits as his cover, and would only reveal himself at the moment when the arrow was shot.
At the beginning, no one in the first and second battalions on the opposite side noticed him. However, after four or five rounds of fire, more than half of the recruits in the third and fourth battalions had fallen. Zhou Weiqing's rate of fire, which was more than twice as fast as others, immediately attracted the attention of the squadron leaders on the opposite side.
In just such a short time, as many as eleven people have been named and left by Zhou Weiqing. The Zichen Bow is so powerful, even if the arrow is removed, it will take a long time to recover after being shot, and the shooting speed is obviously faster. than an ordinary longbow. The new archers in the third and fourth battalions were unable to dodge his arrows. Moreover, every arrow shot by Zhou Weiqing was extremely accurate, hitting the opponent's chest. It is no exaggeration to describe it as "a hundred steps can pierce the Yang".
“Concentrate and shoot that slippery boy.” A squadron leader of the second battalion shouted.
Zhou Weiqing felt something was wrong as soon as the twelfth arrow was shot. Ever since the Dzi Bead awakened, he found that his perception was many times more sensitive than before. The sudden attention from the other party immediately made him feel alarmed. This guy didn't hesitate for a moment, turned around and ran away.
There were still about seventy archers left in the third and fourth battalions participating in the recruit competition. A sudden jump out of so many people turned around and ran away, naturally attracting the attention of the officers watching the battle. Each battalion recruits at least two squadron leaders. Except for one who leads the recruit competition, the rest gather around Shangguan Bing'er. Because the archer competition will definitely end first, so they all Watched it here.
