Chapter 1063: Martial Arts Contest (6)
According to Shen Kuo Mengxi's written discussion, "those who are mortal stones are calculated by the method of ninety-two and a half catties", to fill a three-stone Zhemu strong bow, it takes one hand to have the strength to lift two hundred and seventy-seven and a half catties.
This is simply impossible for an ordinary person. Brother Hei Niu is born with divine power, so he can use this three-stone Zhemu strong bow, and not every time he shoots an arrow, he needs to pull the bowstring full.
Regardless of the archery skills for the time being, does Lin Chong have such strength?
Since Yang Huairen dared to call Lin Chong out, he knew it in his heart, as far as he knew, since Lin Chong entered Long Wuwei, he and Brother Hei Niu could meet often.
Between the two brothers, they usually learn martial arts, Lin Chong's martial arts stick skills are a must, and Brother Hei Niu has a lot of places to ask him for advice in this regard.
After this period of time, Brother Hei Niu's martial arts have also improved by leaps and bounds, and at the same time, Lin Chong has also exchanged a lot of experience in archery with Brother Hei Niu.
all know that Hei Niu's brother's archery skills were learned from his father, and in fact, he learned the archery skills taught by Zhou Tong to Lu Jinyi and Lin Chong, and he went out of the same school.
Unlike Lu Jinyi, who is better at riding and shooting, Brother Hei Niu is talented and has great strength, so compared to the two junior brothers, he can use a harder bow with greater strength.
However, this does not mean that Lin Chong can't use it, it's just that compared to Brother Hei Niu, his physical fitness is not enough to continue to use the three-stone bow to shoot arrows continuously, and if he shoots just one arrow, he still has such explosive power.
Therefore, Yang Huairen was very confident in Lin Chong, and deliberately pointed him out, because he had the intention to give him the opportunity to show his ability.
Lin Chong walked to the edge of the stands and visually inspected the red flagpole that Yelu and Lu Wei were pointing to, and judged that the flagpole was about the thickness of an arm, and the distance was about one hundred and fifty paces away.
After some calculations, Lin Chong quickly calculated that if he wanted to shoot at this red flagpole, he didn't need to pull the strong bow to the fullest, and seventy or eighty percent of the strength was enough to shoot the iron arrow to a distance of one hundred and fifty steps.
He stared at the flagpole for a while, secretly lucky in his chest, and when he was ready, he turned around and saluted the Khitan Emperor and a group of officials and envoys in the stands, "Xiaodi, this is a scandal for you." ”
With that, he raised his longbow, put the iron arrow on the bowstring, adjusted the standard angle slightly, and suddenly pulled the bowstring, because he had already prepared to aim, and the three-stone Zhemu hard bow in his hand was indeed very heavy, not suitable for long-term string aim, but in the blink of an eye, he released the bowstring.
The black three-toothed wolf's tooth arrow burst out of the hole, making a "whoosh" sound that tore through the air, and everyone's eyes turned to the red flagpole in the distance with the black feathered arrow flying quickly in the air.
A "click" was heard from afar, and the iron arrow did not penetrate the flagpole, but cut the flagpole into two pieces like a knife, and the splashed sawdust had not yet landed, and the flagpole fell to the ground with a bang.
And the iron arrow, which did not lose much strength because of the obstruction of the flagpole, continued to fly forward for a distance of more than twenty steps, and plunged deep into the mud.
Everyone in the stands exclaimed, and even Yelu and Lu Wei couldn't help but shout, "Good archery!" ”
As the generalissimo of the Liao State, he couldn't help but applaud the superb archery skills of a small soldier of the Song Dynasty in front of him.
If you shoot a flagpole one hundred and fifty steps away, many archers can do it, of course, the ordinary riding bow in the Khitan army can't do it.
The design of the riding bow is convenient for shooting arrows immediately, the force is relatively small, generally the pull of eight buckets, such a design, which also causes the characteristics of the riding bow to shoot a relatively short distance, only the maximum effective killing distance of fifty or sixty steps.
However, the cavalry bow is short, easy to carry and shoot arrows immediately, and the rate of fire is relatively fast, making it an effective long-range weapon for killing and injuring enemy troops at short and medium ranges.
The ordinary foot bow, which is generally a longbow with one stone or two stones, has a relatively slow rate of fire, but the shooting distance has increased a lot, and it can reach a hundred steps, like the archers of the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom also have similar weapons.
For an archery master, it is generally necessary to choose a bow with a greater pulling force, such as a bow with a force before five or two stones, which is also very common.
Suppose a bow with one stone and five stones, if you shoot a flagpole 150 paces away, the shooting distance is enough, but if you shoot the arrow to a distance of 150 paces, the strength of the arrow is not enough, and it may be able to pierce the flagpole, but it will not shoot the flagpole down or through it.
The iron arrow shot by Lin Chong directly broke the arm-thick flagpole, which is not something that ordinary archery masters can do, first of all, a three-stone hard bow is not something that ordinary people can pull open.
Coupled with the fact that the arrows used were made of fine iron, the arrows broke the flagpole and continued to fly for some distance and plunge deep into the earth, which is even more powerful than anyone can do.
Yelu and Lu Rong have been horses for half their lives, in the forbidden army of the Liao State, there are only a handful of people he knows who can pull a three-stone hard bow, and at the same time, there are even fewer people who can shoot with iron arrows, almost only a few famous generals and warriors in the army can do it, so he saw that Lin Chong, a young soldier, did it easily, and his heart was surprised and worried.
According to his cognition, it is impossible for the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty to have such strength, even if it is found in the Manchu Song Dynasty, although the Song Dynasty has a large population, such people will not be much more than their Liao State.
But the fact in front of him is that several people around Yang Huairen, including the man riding a white horse who participated in the competition on the school field, the young soldier named Lin Chong in front of him, and the black-faced general, the owner of the three-stone Zhemu hard bow, all have such abilities, how can he not be frightened?
He looked at the few people standing behind Yang Huairen, although they were of different sizes, but their common characteristics were resolute in their eyes and relaxed expressions, and they were not surprised in the face of Lin Chong's wonderful performance just now, as if Lin Chong's archery skills just now were commonplace, which made Yelu and Lu Wei very suspicious and worried.
Who is Yang Huairen? Why did he gather so many martial arts players around him?
Although Yelu and Lu Wei couldn't figure it out for a while, he gradually began to realize that Yang Huairen seemed to be the one who had the chance to win in this competition.
What Yelu and Lu Wei can see, other people with a heart can also perceive, Yelu Hongji is a person of course, needless to say, even a civil official like Wang Zizhi gradually understood why his younger brother Pu Ziji wrote to him at the beginning that Yang Huairen must not be underestimated.
