Before the large-scale popularization of the Lu Mi Gong, the bow and arrow were the only long-range weapons in Dong Ce's hands - and even if firearms were popularized, for cavalry, a bow and arrow with a faster rate of fire was also essential, not to mention, the power of the strong bow was also extremely terrifying, in some respects it was not inferior to firearms, and the flexibility of use was even better.

On the training ground where equestrianism is practiced on a daily basis, the horses are tethered to the side close to the hills.

Most of the training ground was emptied, and sixteen large targets were set up in the middle.

There are two kinds of targets, one is five feet tall and one and a half feet wide, and its shape is about the same as that of a standing person.

The second type of target is larger and more complex, the inside is a shelf made of wood, the outside is covered with cloth, on the top of the cloth is painted a person, inside with two wooden poles, the edges are sewn with ropes, and then the corners are nailed with nails to fix. The whole target is eight feet high and two feet wide, and the whole shape is like a man on a horse.

There are eight targets of each type, arranged in sequence, each five steps apart.

The soldiers stood about ninety paces away from the target, lined up in three rows, according to their respective capitals, and stood in order.

Before the test, Dong Ce first asked them to demonstrate some actions such as walking in a positive step, turning left and turning right, and when they saw that everyone did not fall, they nodded with satisfaction.

This novel has been trained a lot of kung fu in a few days, but Dong Ce, the foundation of these foot battles, also hopes that they will remember it clearly, so as not to pick it up in the future.

Then the school entrance examination officially begins.

As for how to test the archery skills of the school soldiers, it has long been recorded in Qi Jiguang's "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and "Practical Records of Military Training", and Dong Ce does not need to worry about it much, he just needs to follow what he says. Dong Ce is very self-aware, he knows that if he understands this aspect, he will definitely not be able to compare with Qi Shaobao, who has been in the army for decades. And Qi Shaobao is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he is one of the few people who can train soldiers, but it is too much in the late Ming Dynasty. It is so erosive that it has become a luxury to want to train troops according to the methods on it.

As the so-called northern habit is the most important thing to shoot, but shooting is not in the picture.

According to the method in "Actual Records of Military Training", Dong Ce divided the shooters into three classes.

Can pull the bow and shoot heavy arrows, and go flat, and go far, and many hits, and the middle will go deep, this super shooter, can not be treated normally.

Shoot not far and flat, open a hard bow and send heavy arrows, and those who can hit are second-class.

Shoot far but not flat, the arrow is light and the bow is soft, and the third class is also.

The arrows of Jiannu and the Japanese slaves who used to crisscross the coastal provinces did not have a long range, because the arrows were heavy, and the weight of the arrows was powerful, and once a person was shot, it was not possible. And when he shot closely, the rate of fire was also extremely fast, almost with the sound of the bowstring on the other side, and the people on this side were killed.

Needless to say, super-shooters and second-class shooters are almost a hundred shots, and the rate of fire is fast, the power is also large, the range is also long, the shooting is also deep, and the play is extremely stable.

The third-class shooters are further divided into the ninth. The nineth, quasi-super, etc. Those who are in the eighth middle school are quasi-superior. Those who are in the seventh middle are quasi-upper medium. Those who are in the sixth middle are quasi-upper and lower. Those who are in the fifth middle school are quasi-middle and upper-middle. Those who are three out of four are quasi-middle and medium. The second is the middle and the second, and the middle is lower. The one who is in the middle is allowed to be inferior and superior. Those who do not win will be allowed to go down. Those who don't know are allowed to be inferior.

All of them had bows and arrows hanging from their waists, which were filled with long feathered arrows.

There are still a lot of bows and arrows in Dong Ce's hand, which is almost enough for these forty or fifty people to use for a year.

He rode his horse to the side, holding a small blue flag in his hand, glanced at everyone, waved up and down, Wang Tong shouted at the top of his voice: "Zhongzidu, go out of the ranks, take ten steps forward, and prepare to shoot!" ”

"Yes!"

The sixteen men in the first row should have marched forward to their target, and came to a stop about eighty paces away from the target.

They are all shaped into bright lunge war bows.

There is a big difference between the Ming bow and the clear bow, compared to the thick tip of the clear bow, the tip of the Ming bow is much smaller, and it belongs to two sections of the recurve bow arm, the large recurve with a pad is slightly shorter, while the clear bow is a section of the recurve bow arm, and the big recurve with a pad is slightly longer. The bowstring of the Ming bow is also much shorter than that of the clear bow, and the overall body looks much smaller.

Compared to clear bows, open bows are more efficient, rebounding and decelerating faster. Clearing the bow is to get closer to the heavy arrows and increase the lethality, at the expense of efficiency.

Their bow Dong Ce once pulled, according to the standards of later generations, it was almost about one hundred and twenty pounds, and the unit of this era was about ninety catties, which belonged to the medium bow in the Ming bow war bow.

The specifications are uniform and there is almost no difference.

The pulling force of about one hundred and twenty pounds is almost the same as the pulling force of the captured Houjin soldiers' cavalry bows, and it is far worse than the big iron bow of the Houjin army used in foot combat.

This is also Dong Ce's subordinates, all of them are tall and strong, and he can use a lot of meat and enough food to raise an amazing physique to pull this medium war bow, if it is replaced by an ordinary Ming army, he will take a malnourished and weak appearance, I am afraid that the inferior war bow will not be able to pull it open.

"Launch!"

Wang Tong gave an order, and everyone opened their bows one after another, and their movements were almost carved out of a mold - the arrow was fast, the eyes looked straight ahead, the front hand was in charge, the back hand was strengthened, the front hand held the bow like the moon, and the back leg was a bit like a lame. This is the advantage of training a group of civilians with no military foundation as soldiers, they are almost a blank sheet of paper, and the plasticity is very good.

And this archery posture is also practiced in strict accordance with Qi Jiguang's military book, and everyone is very standard, which is commonly known as 'big frame shooting'!

With the sound of a bouncing bowstring vibrating, eighteen arrows came out of the string.

Then there was the sound of an aggressive steel arrow being driven into a wooden target.

Wang Hun, who was standing not far from the target, glanced at it and said loudly: "Centaur targets, all of them hit; Human target, five out of three misses. ”

Dong Ce looked at it expressionlessly on the side, and he was indeed satisfied with this result.

Then Wang Tong said loudly: "Within a hundred breaths, shoot ten arrows!" Begin! ”

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, not panicking, but began to calmly open their bows and arrows, aiming at the target in front of them.

When they practiced archery before, they had certain requirements for the rate of fire, so the speed of shooting was relatively fast, and they were not flustered at this time. And most of them also have a bottom in their hearts, knowing that they have no problem shooting ten arrows within a hundred breaths.

The sound of boom and aggressiveness is endless.

In many books, it is not uncommon to see the argument that if you pull the bow five or six times in a row, or seven or eight times in a row, the archer will run out, which is pure nonsense to put it mildly.

In the armies of a normal era of a dynasty (the unexpected armies of the Western Army in the late Ming and late Song dynasties are not counted), a qualified foot archer who has been trained for a long time cannot fire more than twelve arrows in a row with rapid fire is rubbish. Even if you are not in good shape, you don't rest well, you don't eat well, and you can't shoot twelve arrows in a hurry. Under normal circumstances, the archer's continuous shooting level can be maintained at an average of more than forty-eight arrows, that is, two quivers are missed.

Not to mention them, even if they are traditional domestic bow enthusiasts in later generations, generally a man of ordinary size and ordinary physique who has undergone three months of formal training can achieve ten rounds per minute when using a restored bow with a strength of 70 pounds. According to data provided by the British Longbow Association, the best longbowman in actual combat used a bow of more than 130 pounds to record 17 rounds per minute, and a later Welsh archer recorded a maximum of 24 rounds per minute without considering accuracy.

In medieval England, a qualified longbowman had to maintain the speed of a long shot of seven rounds per minute, and firing continuously for fifteen to twenty minutes, when using a longbow with a pull force of 130 to 150 pounds

In fact, there is a minimum common sense, even if the archer is weak, the first thing to get tired is never the arm that pulls the bow, but the arm that holds the bow. Because in fact, the reaction force of the bow arm is the same as that of the bow arm drawn each time the bow is opened, and it has to increase the weight of the bow body at any time.

(Well, literacy, right?) Hahahahaha...... As I said, I was examined by the party, and my last book also made a similar mistake, alas, at that time it was still too young, too simple Tucson ah. The following is not counted as money: ps (It is recorded in "Heavenly Creations - The Fifteenth of Good Soldiers".) The war bow is divided into upper, middle and lower according to the tensile force, with the upper bow 120 kg, the middle bow 90 kg, and the lower bow 60 kg)

They have been doing farm work for a long time, their hands and feet are rough, their strength is great, and they draw their bows ten times in a hundred breaths, but they are just idle, and what they worry about is nothing more than the hit rate.

After a hundred breaths, Wang Tong said loudly: "Stop, you are not allowed to shoot!" ”

Then he and Wang Hun checked it and got the results.

Everyone shot ten arrows within a hundred breaths.

The target is eight people in the centaur target, one eleven out of eleven, two eleven out of ten, one eleven out of nine, and the remaining four people are all eleven out of eight. The results of the eight shooters against the target of the step man, which is much smaller, are a little worse, one out of all, one out of eleven, and the rest are between four out of eleven and nine out of eleven.

Then the target was swapped again, and the one that had previously shot the foot target was replaced by the horse target.

Ten rounds of shooting in a hundred breaths again.

Then he replaced the two behind him, and shot twenty-one arrows each.

The method recorded by Qi Shaobao in the actual training record is very labor-saving and simple, but it takes less than half an hour for everyone's achievements to come out. There is only one super shooter, who is a family member from a horse thief in Zhongzidu, called Dong Zhongxian. He was white and clean, and he was handsome, tall and thin, not like a horse thief, but like a scholar. The arrows he shot were almost squeezed in the bull's-eye, which showed that his arrow path was very straight and steady, his hands were also very calm, and his play was very stable, and there was almost no fluctuation. Moreover, the clusters of arrows are all driven deep into the target, which shows that he can easily control the bow and arrows, and can exert a greater tension than the prescribed pulling force.
