"There are six out of thirty weapons, and the bow is the head; Martial arts are eight out of ten, and the bow is the first". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIn the army at this time, the bow and crossbow is the most important criterion for evaluating the soldiers, how hard the bow can be held, how accurate the head is, and how far to shoot directly determines the level of a soldier. Regardless of the forbidden army, they are all divided into bows and crossbows.

Xu Ping is not very strong, but fortunately, there is no shortage of nutrition, and his usual exercise is scientific and continuous, and his physical fitness is still top in this era. After leading the troops to Lingnan, he began to systematically practice bows and arrows, never stopped, and he could hold nine bows in foot shooting, and he was also the first class in the forbidden army, and he could enter the four armies.

When they arrived at the shooting range, some people had already prepared bows and arrows and put them on the shelves.

Before going to the shelf, he took the bow and arrow in his hand, Xu Ping pulled the string slightly and tried it, and said to Li Zhang: "I have always used a nine-bucket bow, here is sixty steps away from the target, shoot five arrows, and the number of targets and halos above will win or lose!" ”

Li Zhang smiled slightly: "But according to my brother's orders." ”

Archery is divided into affinity and distance, like this shooting range, how big is the shooting pro, that is, the quasi-head. The target is divided into two types, one is the stack, which is divided into how many stacks; The other is the square target halo, which is actually the kind of target commonly used in later generations to draw circles, at this time they are all five circles, called five halos, and they are divided into halos, which is similar to the scoring method of later generations.

Xu Ping recovered from a serious illness, and people felt extraordinarily energetic. With a bow and arrow in hand, he looked carefully at the distant target, exhaled and opened the bowstring. I don't aim very carefully, and I shoot an arrow with feeling.

This is the shooting method on the battlefield, and it is a test of arm strength, and that feeling, not aiming by eyesight and experience.

The arrow on the string flew straight to the target in front of it with a whistling sound, drawing a clear arc, but it was worthy of the target.

Xu Ping shook his head, since returning to Beijing, he has practiced less, and he is a little rusty after all.

took the arrow out of the quiver, and fired the arrow, Xu Ping arrowed the other four arrows together. Compared with the first arrow, the four arrows behind were obviously much better, and even one arrow hit the bull's-eye.

Li Zhang looked at it from the side and said with a smile: "My brother is a person who has fought on the battlefield after all, and he is excellent in both momentum and archery. It's just that I lost some precision, and I think it's rusty. ”

Xu Ping shook his head: "It's a lot worse than when I was in Yongzhou." If you don't practice for a day, you will regress! ”

The subordinate next to him ran all the way over and took down the target with the arrow, replaced it with a new target, and returned to the place where the arrow was shot with the old target and showed it to Xu Ping.

Except for the arrow that hit the bull's-eye, the results can really only be regarded as average. Of course, if it is an assessment in the army, this is already a pass, but it is not excellent.

Li Zhang stepped forward, took the bow of Jiudou in the same way, tried it in his hand, and drove it effortlessly. Holding his breath and concentrating, he stretched out his bow and set up the arrow, and when he aimed it well, he shouted and shot the arrow, but he hit five points. shot five arrows in such a hurry, but the results were better than Xu Ping.

Xu Ping put down the bow in his hand and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few years, I don't want you to be stronger than me!" ”

"It's my duty to be a marquis in the gate, otherwise wouldn't I be laughed at? My brother is a minister in the court, and he is a civil official, he opens a bow with nine buckets, and his arrows are on target, and his colleagues in the court are afraid that no one will be stronger than you. Moreover, my brother shoots arrows, and I aim left and right, and if I really want to go to the battlefield, I am afraid that I will lose to you. ”

Li Zhang is the cousin of the emperor's dearest, and the key to his martial arts archery is to have a frame, just don't lose face in front of people. As long as he can get by on face, Zhao Zhen has enough reasons to promote him, and even call him a tiger general. If you really want to kill the enemy on the battlefield, you won't send him, even if you have a lot of credit for him in the rear.

Li Yonghe has always been cautious and cautious, and in the past two years, he has been promoted rapidly with his sister's relationship, and he is often uncomfortable. There is no way to get old enough, but he has high hopes for Li Zhang, and often urges him to practice hard. A real celebrity needs to be talented, Li Zhang doesn't have it and can't do it, but at least these things on face can't be neglected. It is precisely because of this that Li Zhang's horse step kung fu is still good, although it is all fancy.

After firing five arrows in a row, his body sweated slightly, his muscles and bones were completely loosened, and Xu Ping felt extremely happy.

After letting the bows and arrows be put away, Xu Ping said to Li Zhang: "There is a stone table and stone bench under the tree over there, let's go and sit down." ”

Sitting down on the stone bench, the servant brought tea, and the two drank tea slowly. The cool breeze blows from the hillside, with the fragrance of some earth, which makes people feel refreshed.

Li Zhang took a sip of tea and said to Xu Ping: "Now there are powerful ministers in the court, relatives of the emperor, luxury and wealth in the palace, some of them occupy a vast area, some are quiet and elegant, and some are full of strange flowers and trees. But like my brother, it covers a vast area, and all kinds of things can be done, and there is no second home. Brother, you still have more than two months to take off, and in my brother's opinion, it is better to use this time to contact the feelings of other ministers. There are bows and arrows here, there is a shooting range, you can run an archery club, and there are many ministers who are good at this. There are watermelons at home, how can you go out to give people away and complain, recruit people to form an association, one is lively, and the other can also use watermelon to make a color head, not like a person bored at home? ”

Xu Ping thought about it and nodded: "What you said also makes sense, I also feel that it is not a good thing to give away watermelons and other things, it is better to let people come to eat them." However, the Bow and Arrow Society, among the literati, is only afraid that it will be difficult to run, no matter how well they practice, they are not as good as the ordinary forbidden soldiers, so naturally there is no interest. As for the poetry club, to be honest, I am not very proficient in poetry, but I am afraid that I will make jokes when the time comes. ”

Li Zhang laughed when he heard this: "Brother is so stupid! If you are really as talented as Li Du, if you want to start a poetry club, you can't do it! When people come, they all listen to the master's poems and lyrics, so what's the fun? You see, the ministers in the court who write well in the court, such as Bachelor Yan, have no one to go to his house to chant poems against him. It is necessary to understand a little bit of this poetry, but not very proficient in it, in order to be able to recruit people. The key is that the family should be wealthy, there are pavilions, forests and ponds to play, there are Qinglou courtesans to accompany wine, some eat, some play, and people are willing to come. ”

Xu Ping looked at Li Zhang, and he didn't think that he was a man who played with guns and sticks, but he saw these things clearly. Indeed, Yan Shuwen is considered to be first-class, but he is usually happy alone behind closed doors, he has a good courtesan at home, and his lyrics are also sung at home, and he rarely shows off everywhere like a down-and-out lyricist. is also a poet, the most sung in the brothel of the Qinglou is Liu Yong and Zhang Xian's words, and Yan Shu's is very rare. His status is noble, and he can't put his face down to those places. And there are few people who write lyrics and sing songs like him, and the key is that few people can compare to him.

I have a level of less than half a bottle swinging, and it seems that I am really the most suitable for doing this kind of thing. People with literary talents come and are born with a sense of superiority. That's what people do, and when they have this sense of superiority, they like to put together a piece. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Ping can also improve his current isolated situation. (To be continued.) )
