Sit up and take notice

It was cloudless and the weather was warm. Hirahara-kun led all the guests and their wives to the training ground behind the mansion.

Everyone is looking forward to the archery competition between Han Zhao's first shooter Jing Fei and Ye Bingqing. The pin drop can be heard at the scene.

Hirahara-kun announced the rules of archery. In this era, the ministers and doctors attach great importance to the study of archery.

From the Zhou Dynasty onwards, the nobles began to learn the basic skills of the Six Arts from an early age. The six arts include ceremony, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics.

Respectively refers to etiquette, music, archery, driving, literacy, and calculation. The art of archery is exquisite, and the heart is right, to the effect that when archery, you should have a calm mind and be engrossed.

It is also necessary to pay attention to the demeanor of the game, every move and style, and every turn and spin must be clear-sighted. Pingyuan Jun announced the rules: the first shot should be accurate, the second will see who has a long range, and the third will be the rhythm.

Rhythm is all about matching the beat of the music. Archery competitions are usually accompanied by percussion instruments or drums.

Participants should listen to the drums and shoot. This rule has a strong military combat character. When the candidate nations were at war, the main role of the drum was not to cheer.

It's a kind of command. There is a special drummer next to the coach's car. Different rhythms indicate different formations, as well as attacks and retreats.

The orders of all branches of the armed forces are prohibited and uniform. Each country has its own rhythm password, and the meaning of different rhythms is, of course, only known to itself.

If this slogan is mastered by the other side, it is also equivalent to the military code being deciphered by the other side. Therefore, when the two armies are engaged, the crossbowmen as a long-range and dense firepower to attack the opponent must also follow the rhythm of the drum or the command.

Hirahara-kun announced the rules of the competition and arranged for a special musician to test the rhythm of this archery competition. The race is on.

Jing Fei bowed to Ye Bingqing, and then said with a provocative smile on the corner of his mouth:

"You please!" Ye Bingqing stepped forward, returned the salute, and said with a smile:

"The host invites first, and the little girl will come later." Jing Fei was no longer polite and confidently said:

"It's better to be respectful than to be fatal!" Then, when he had reached a distance of seventy paces, and when he had stood firm, he gently drew one from the leather quiver behind his back, bent down, squatted down his horse, sank down with all his might, and shouted softly:

"Open!" With both arms exerted, he pulled away this fine ox tendon horn bow. Put the arrow on the string, and the bowstring rings to the rhythm of the musician's percussion,

"Bah, bah, bah, bah." Jing Fei shot four arrows in a row. In the distance, four arrows had been inserted in the center of the target covered with animal skins, and the arrows pierced through the skin, forcing through the skin and back, leaving only feathers and arrowheads.

The crowd applauded in unison:

"Good!" There were even more people who bet on Jing Feisheng cheering. Li Yihan's nervous palms were sweating. Wei Rongrong looked at Ye Bingqing worriedly, and said softly to Li Yihan:

"Sister Qing, you must calm down." Hirahara-kun had a smug smile on his face. His own disciple today's skills and archery skills are worthy of being Han Zhao's first shooter.

Jing Fei smugly touched his beloved bow with his hand. The bow of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was a compound bow. The manufacturing process is very complex and exquisite.

Take six materials, dry, angle, tendon, glue, silk, lacquer. Moreover, these six materials must be selected in the right season to make a good bow.

There are seven kinds of materials for the bow stem, Zhe is the top, and the bamboo is the bottom. This type of bow requires the use of animal horn pieces to increase the toughness and elasticity of the bow body.

The strings hanging on both sides of the bow body are also made of animal horns, so they are called horn bows. Take the dry in winter, take the horn in autumn, silk paint in summer, and the tendon angle is unheard.

The six materials used to make the bow must be timely, and the water content of the citrus aurantium wood is low in winter, and the bow body made in this season is powerful and has a long range with an elastic bowstring.

The bowstring is mostly compounded with hemp silk thread, etc. At this time, everyone's eyes were staring at Ye Bingqing. Ye Bingqing had a hosta in her high bun, long earrings, a ringing when she walked, a white dress with narrow sleeves, and boots made of fawnskin.

Sleek, with leather arm guards, she pulled the bow from her shoulder, her fingers on her hands.

She took a deep breath and slowly walked back ten steps from where Jing Fei was standing just now.

"Wow!" The onlookers on the field screamed. Talk:

"Jing Fei is only seventy steps, and she shoots from eighty steps away?"

"Does she have that much arm strength?" Even Pingyuan-kun opened his mouth wide in shock. Ruying and Wei Rongrong didn't dare to come out even more atmosphericly, and sweated for her.

I saw Ye Bingqing calmly bending her bow, taking arrows, stretching her arms, and shooting out. With the beat of the musician's percussion,

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh". Shoot, draw arrows, string, fire, draw, draw, fire. A series of actions like a flowing cloud.

The arrow hits the bull's-eye, and the four arrows are like one arrow, and only the feathers are left, passing through the leather armor. It's amazingly accurate!

The air on the field froze, and suddenly there was cheers and cheers. Ruying and Wei Rongrong jumped up happily.

Li Yihan let out a long breath. It turned out that Ye Bingqing loved riding and archery since she was a child, and she had a talent for archery. 's father is a giant of Gu Yongguo, for this baby daughter, she really wants the stars to pick the stars, and she wants the moon to give the moon, and she spent a lot of money to invite the best archers in Chu to teach her to ride and shoot.

And at that time, the top shooters in the world were all in Chu State. Her bow is unique, it was made by the master of Chu State who spent twenty years of painstaking efforts, collecting all kinds of materials, and constantly groping.

As he lay dying, the Master teleported the bow to her. She has a talent for the power and angle of her shots.

Because the arrow is shot out is a curved movement similar to a flat throw, a little higher and a little lower, Ye Bingqing has extraordinary talent, plus this bow is excellent, so it does not need to be stronger than Jing Fei's arm strength to shoot farther and more accurate.

Ye Bingqing won the competition this time, and Ping Yuanjun was impressed by Li Yihan and his party.
