Chapter 163 left and right to open the bow

Zhang Fei's cheers had just fallen, only to see the young man in the shooting range draw his bow and shoot again.

A single arrow shoots out without any mud and water.

The young man then quickly drew another arrow from the quiver and shot it, followed by another shot.

I shot three arrows in a row, so fast that it was done in the blink of an eye.

In the air, three arrows flew towards the target, and the distance between each arrow was no more than three or five meters, connecting into a straight line, like a meteor passing by.

Zheng!

The first arrow hits the heart above the target!

The huge force caused the arrow cluster to completely submerge into the target, and the shaft of the arrow left outside still trembled incessantly, making a slight clanging sound.

The second arrow followed, and the sharp arrow actually broke through the shaft of the first arrow, which was still trembling, and the first arrow broke through it and was split in two, and the second arrow took the place of the first arrow.

Jingling!

The shaft of the first arrow was split and fell to the ground, and the arrow that sank into the target was squeezed out of the target by the second arrow and fell to the ground.

As soon as the second arrow hit the target, the third arrived.

There was a clear click, and the shaft of the second arrow broke again, and the third arrow took the place of the second arrow.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei couldn't help but clap his hands and praise, and the roar like thunder sounded again: "Good guy, you actually played tricks, this hand is connected, and it is superb." ”

Liu Chan couldn't help but cover his ears again, and glanced at Zhang Fei: "Second uncle, can you not be surprised, you see that the soldiers are looking at you, you are like this, they all think that you are not as good as that person." ”

Zhang Fei laughed when he heard this, and pulled down Liu Chan's hands that covered his ears with a pair of fan-sized palms, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you afraid of thunder, why are you still afraid of the third uncle's voice?" What do they think of me, his hand is really beautiful, in terms of archery, it is stronger than me, it is finally a little interesting, but I don't know how his martial arts are! ”

The six arts of Confucianism, including courtesy, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics.

And Shenlian is one of the five methods of archery.

To put it mildly, it is called Shenlian.

To put it in layman's terms, it is called a beaded arrow.

Lin Xiao on the side also said: "Shenlian is a compulsory course in archery among the six arts of Confucianism, and generally people who practice the six arts of Confucianism will participate, but most of them can only use it within twenty steps." This person can still use the link within 100 steps, and today is really an eye-opener for me. ”

When Liu Chan heard this, he also knew that Lin Xiao was sighing to himself.

Lin Xiao is from Orion, he has been proficient in archery since he was a child, especially in the more than ten years when he was injured, he couldn't use force easily, and he used more bows and arrows. However, despite this, it was difficult for Lin Xiao to perform such exquisite archery skills.

Just as Zhang Fei and Lin Xiao were speaking, the young man on the shooting range had already shot the remaining five arrows.

These five arrows missed the heart.

Instead, they were all shot in a circle outside the hearts, and the five arrows formed a circle, enclosing the hearts together.

After the ten arrows were shot, I only heard the soldier next to the young man say loudly: "All the 100 steps and ten arrows are on target, and the score is on the first, and you can participate in the assessment of mounted archery!" ”

Then the soldier took the man to another examination room.

It's the same range, but it's very empty, it's a mounted shooting range, and there are hardly any people in the range.

When he came to the mounted shooting range, the soldier asked the young man: "The difficulty of riding and shooting is quite high, how many steps do you have to shoot this time?" ”

The young man muttered, "Seventy steps! ”

The soldier was surprised when he heard this: "Seventy steps, you have to think clearly!" ”

The man nodded: "Yes! ”

When the soldier saw this, he shouted: "Come on, move the left and right arrow targets to seventy paces away, and lead a good horse!" ”

At this moment, the young man was in the center of the shooting range, and there was a white line drawn of lime on the ground in the middle, and on the left and right sides of the white line, there were arrow targets, and on each side, there was an arrow target every ten steps.

Targets are set on both sides of the left and right to assess the ability to open the bow on the left and right.

For example, if a person shoots an object on the left, he controls the bow with his left hand and pulls the string with his right hand, and if he shoots at an object on the right, he controls the bow with his right hand and pulls the string with his left hand.

A person who is good at riding and archery naturally needs to have the ability to shoot left and right, and being able to shoot with both hands is the best riding archer.

For example, Zhang Shigui, a famous general in the Tang Dynasty, is good at riding and shooting, with excellent arm strength, he can open a bow of 150 catties, and open a bow left and right.

Generally, adult prairie men have the ability to open the bow left and right. However, in Dahan, this kind of person is one in a hundred.

The soldier brought a war horse, handed a pot of arrows to the young man, and said, "This horse is docile and runs steadily, and there are only ten arrows in this quiver, and if you can shoot three arrows, you will be able to pass the test." But naturally, the more you shoot, the better, it's best to be able to shoot left and right, just now General Zhang shouted that he wants to promote you to be a captain, if you can also have a score of foot shooting, this captain position can be stable! ”

"Thank you, brother!" The young man shook his head and smiled, took the quiver and tied it to his horse, then turned over and got on his horse, and as soon as he clamped the horse's belly, the horse began to gallop along the white line in the middle.

The young man clamped his legs tightly on the horse's belly, stood his upper body on top of the horse, maintained the balance of his body, took out an arrow from the quiver, and began to aim.

In this era, although stirrups have been used, the craftsmanship has not yet been pure. At present, there are only one-sided stirrups, and they are not made of copper or iron, but leather. The main role is to facilitate the soldiers to get on the horse, rather than to stabilize the center of gravity of the operation.

There are no stirrups, so the training and selection of cavalry is very strict, and when the horse gallops, only the legs are tightly clamped between the horse's belly, and one hand grasps the mane of the horse to avoid falling off the horse.

Cao Cao exhausted the power of the north, but he only built thousands of elite tiger and leopard cavalry.

And the young man's riding skills are also quite exquisite, relying only on his legs to clamp the horse's belly, he can maintain the balance of his body, and the war horse travels to the level of an arrow target, and the young man shoots the arrow in his hand.

The arrow whizzed towards the target, striking it right in the heart.

The horse continued to gallop, and the young man shot again with his bow, and hit again.

Five arrows were set up in a row, all of which were targeted.

Previously, the young man shot the arrow target on the left hand, controlled the bow handle with his left hand, and pulled the string with his right hand. Then, the young man changed his posture on the horse, changing to control the bow handle with his right hand and pull the string with his left hand.

The bow is fired left and right, but it is time to shoot the right target.

The war horse galloped, but after a moment's effort, the five arrows were shot again, and the arrows hit the target.

Mounted archery is much more difficult than foot shooting, where the shooter does not move to shoot a stationary object, while mounted archery is where the shooter moves and shoots at a stationary object.

In the more difficult part, the cavalry shoots at the moving enemy on the battlefield.

However, this depends on luck, and the average cavalry shoots the enemy on the battlefield, and there is no time to aim at the enemy, just shoot in a general direction.

Therefore, riding and archery is already the highest difficulty.
