The targets were divided into four types: 300 meters, 500 meters, 800 meters, and 1,000 meters.
These targets were in different numbers and stood in the middle of the drill ground.
The horse-faced soldier became interested. He half-squatted on the ground and said,"I wonder if Lord Pingyuan would allow me to try?”
"Of course you can." Zhao Sheng said with a smile. He then handed the bow to the horse-faced warrior.
"Thank you, Lord Pingyuan." The horse-faced warrior was moved. He took the bow and went to the drill ground, standing beside the lime line.
His rough hand gripped the lower half of the bow, while his other hand grabbed the bowstring. He exhaled slightly and exerted force with his fingers. Everyone's eyes fell on him. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move the bow at all.
Everyone was shocked. This horse-faced soldier was considered brave in the army, but he couldn't even shake the bow.
The horse-faced soldier's face turned red like a reddish-brown horse. He said in shame,""I'm sorry! This bow is truly powerful, not something I can pull.”
"No worries."
Zhao Sheng said. He took back the bow and waved his hand to dismiss the horse-faced warrior. The horse-faced soldier bowed again and walked down quickly, as if he was fleeing.
Ever since the horse faced warrior failed, many of the restless warriors had quieted down and no longer had the intention to draw the bow. With the horse-faced warrior's power, he couldn't even move the bow, let alone other ordinary warriors.
"Lord Pingyuan, please let me try." The burly soldier said loudly. His steps were steady and his gaze was firm. He was obviously an expert in the army.
This person was called Zhan Gao. Although he was a new recruit in the army, he had repeatedly made outstanding contributions and was extremely powerful. He was appreciated by his superiors. Not only was his organizational ability strong, but he was also extremely strong. He was one of the top soldiers in the training.
"Alright."
Zhao Sheng handed the bow to Zhan Gao, who caught it casually and ran towards the shooting range. His eyes were looking at Ying Zheng, and then at Li Cunxiao. He was wondering if Li Cunxiao could pull the bow open.
When he aimed at the target, he realized that although the bowstring was soft, it did not move. No matter how hard he tried, it was useless. His face was red and he used all his strength. Suddenly, he felt pain in his finger and saw blood flowing. His finger was cut by the bowstring and light red blood flowed out.
Finally, he sighed and said,"I can't pull this bow.”
Then, he respectfully handed the bow to Zhao Sheng. He was dejected, and his previous sunny aura was gone.
The drill ground was extremely quiet. The soldiers did not dare to breathe too loudly. If they had even failed to raise the bow, then who else could pull the bow? Could it be that this bow was really used by Houyi, a bow that could only be pulled by gods who descended to the mortal world?
"Is there anyone else?" Zhao Sheng raised his voice.
"Let me try." A loud voice came from not far away.
Following the sound, he saw a nine-foot-tall armored warrior walking towards Zhao Sheng. His body was full of fat, but when he exercised, he did not tremble. It was obvious that he was not fat and had great strength.
Fatty took the bow from Zhao Sheng and said,""Please don't blame me, Lord Pingyuan. My body is special, so I can't bow to you.”
"It's fine. I hope to see you draw the bow of King Yi.”Zhao Sheng said casually.
Fatty came to the drill ground, holding the bow in his hand. His fingers were inserted into the space in the middle, and he pulled the bowstring. He gritted his teeth, his entire body tensed up, and his muscles bulged. Clearly, he had already pushed his strength to the limit, but the bow still didn't move. Clearly, he didn't have enough strength.
Fatty laughed foolishly and said,"I'm sorry! I can't pull this bow."
Then, the fatty slowly walked toward Lord Ping Yuan, held the bow between his index finger and thumb, and handed it to Zhao Sheng.
After Fatty's failure, there were no more armored soldiers in the drill ground. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
"This King Yi Bow is truly impressive. I didn't expect Lord Pingyuan to obtain such a supreme treasure!”
On the side, Xiao Weimou chuckled. If he wanted to pull open the bow, he would have no problem. However, this was Zhao Sheng's home ground. Even if he did pull open the bow, Zhao Sheng might not give it to him.
It was fine if he flattered him a little, but Zhao Sheng was not broad-minded enough.
Xiao Weimou squinted at Zhao Sheng, but he felt disdain in his heart.
"Is there really no one else who can draw the bow?”Zhao Sheng said loudly. He couldn't help but feel a little proud. He wanted to show off his precious bow, but seeing that no one could pull it open, he naturally felt extremely proud.
"Why don't you let me try?" Crown Prince Dan stood up. He was graceful and elegant, making people feel good about him.
"So it's Yan Dan.”Zhao Sheng's gaze fell on Crown Prince Dan of Yan. There was a hint of contempt in the depths of his eyes. How far could a mere ten-year-old child go?
Compared to Crown Prince Dan of Yan, he was more interested in testing Ying Zheng's bottom line.
"Since that's the case, I'll make a fool of myself.”Crown Prince Dan bowed with his hands folded in front of his chest. He then grabbed the Yi King Bow from Zhao Sheng's hands and walked to the drill ground. Crown Prince Dan was also angry. How could he not see that the Zhao Country was showing off? It was a disgrace that the Yan Country was defeated by the Zhao Country. Crown Prince Dan's actions were also to help the Yan Country.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng drank a cup of wine, his eyes darted around Crown Prince Dan of Yan a few times, and a smile appeared on his lips,""You finally couldn't take it anymore?"
Crown Prince Dan was taken hostage and went to Zhao Country alone. However, when Yan Country was defeated, he was invited to participate in the military parade. This wasn't a military parade. It was clearly a show of force, and they wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate Yan Dan.
Yan Dan could not help but give it a try in order to save the Yan Kingdom's face.
Yan Dan gripped the bow in his hand tightly, as if it weighed a thousand pounds. He raised it with great effort, and with his right hand, he placed the arrow on the bow, aiming at the nearest target.
The bowstring moved slowly, obviously pulled by Yan Dan. Zhao Sheng's expression changed slightly, and Lianpo said slowly,""This guy is quite interesting!”
Seeing Gao Jianli's excitement, Li Cunxiao deliberately gave him a blow and said,""It's useless. The chassis is insufficient. Although we can pull it now, we won't be able to hold on much longer.”
"The Crown Prince is very strong. Now that he's pulled up, how can he not move?”Gao Jianli said unhappily.
After pulling out a little, Yan Dan gritted his teeth and wanted to persevere. However, after the bowstring reached this point, it became unstable and even showed signs of returning, making him anxious.
The more anxious he was, the more the bowstring moved back. No matter how hard Yan Dan tried, the bowstring could not move forward. His face was covered in sweat. The scorching sun burned the earth and Yan Dan's heart, making him feel a strong sense of defeat.
In the end, Crown Prince Dan sighed and gave up trying.
"Crown Prince Dan is really young and promising. He has such divine power at the age of ten.”Zhao Sheng took the bow and glanced at Yan Dan. He smiled and said,""In a few years, I'll be able to draw this bow!”
"In a few more years, when my strength grows, I will definitely be able to pull this bow.”As a first-class expert, Wei Mou had good eyesight.
The middle-aged man raised his wine cup and said to Crown Prince Dan,""Yan Dan is brave, young and promising. He is only ten years old, but he has such strength. I, Han Jie, would like to toast Yan Dan.”
"You flatter me." Yan Dan said modestly and downed all the wine in the wine cup. Although he couldn't truly draw the King Yi Bow, he still brought glory to the country.
"Good alcohol tolerance. Here's another toast to Yan Dan.”Han Jie said in surprise.
He drank the Crown Prince Pill in one gulp. His expression did not change as he slowly walked back to his seat. The army had always worshipped brave warriors, and at this moment, they looked at Yan Dan with burning eyes.
At this moment,
An old general walked out and said with a smile,"Why don't you let me give it a try?"
Although the old general's beard was white, he was full of strength and gave off a vigorous blood aura. He was even stronger than a young man.
