Chapter 136: Test the Arrow

The next day, when Fei Qian returned to the gate of the Huang Family Hidden Courtyard, he actually found that the middle-aged strong man he met when he came here for the first time accompanied by Pang Tong was trying his arrows accompanied by Huang Chengyan, the head of the Huang family.

Huang Chengyan saw Fei Qian coming, so he introduced to the two: "This is Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng, who is good at archery and strong in martial arts...... This is my son-in-law Fei Qianfei Ziyuan......"

Sure enough, it's Huang Zhong! The middle-aged version of Huang Zhong!

Fei Qian hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Huang Zhong also put down the bow and arrow in his hand and saluted Fei Qian's hand.

It turned out that Huang Zhong came to Huangjia Yinyuan to customize a few arrows suitable for Huang Chengyan before, after all, only top craftsmen have the means to process some personal items according to their different needs.

Ordinary military arrows, for Huang Zhong, are a little lighter, they can be used, but they are not very handy, and like what sells civilian arrows used by hunters in the blacksmith shop, the quality is even worse.

In addition, there is another important reason for looking for Huang Chengyan, that is, the price, it will be relatively cheaper, the craftsmen in Xiangyang City are too high, which really makes Huang Zhong a little unbearable, after all, the family is not very rich, and it is good to save some money.

In ancient times, practicing martial arts naturally required to boil up strength, and the consumption of qi and blood was not something that could be drunk from the northwest wind, and there must be a lot of food, and Huang Zhong liked to practice martial arts since he was a child, and the money spent on martial arts was like running water, and there was no better input, so as the days went by, the family was naturally a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Huang Zhong has a talent in bows and arrows, and he can hunt some living creatures when he goes into the mountains from time to time, and in addition to satisfying his needs for meat, he can also exchange some silver money to supplement his expenses, but this is only enough, so it is somewhat difficult to spend a lot on bows and arrows.

Fortunately, Huang Chengyan also knew Huang Zhong's difficulties and appreciated his martial arts, so he basically calculated according to the lowest price, after all, Huang Chengyan also knew that if a person like Huang Zhong gave money at will for no reason, it would make Huang Zhong feel that he was underestimating him and felt that it was an insult.

Huang Zhong's customized arrows this time are three-edged arrows, and there are about a dozen of them in total. The arrow is about the length of a finger, the blade is open on three sides, it is very sharp, the arrow body is about the thickness of a finger, slender and smooth, Huang Chengyan added a layer of black paint on the arrow shaft, and then wrapped it in fish skin at the place where the arrow shaft is built to prevent wear and skidding, and then use white goose feathers to make its tail feather, it is indeed fine and meticulous, and it feels that it is not ordinary at a glance.

When Fei Qian came, Huang Zhong was trying out the arrow, but after Fei Qian finished looking at Huang Zhong's customized arrow, he didn't see any targets when he looked forward......

Don't have a target?

Fei Qian's eyes searched, but fortunately, the white wings were still obvious, and he soon found the tree that Huang Zhong used as a target......

Fei Qian roughly estimated that it should be about two hundred meters from the Huangjia Hidden Courtyard to the unlucky tree. Of course, in the Han Dynasty, there was no such unit of measurement as the meter, only the step.

The ancient step and the modern step are not quite the same conceptually. There is a saying called "do not accumulate steps", in ancient times, one foot out is "step", both feet are called "step", so the distance of one step is about one meter one to one meter six.

According to this calculation, Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng's shooting distance here is about one hundred and fifty paces.

Fei Qian walked under the tree and saw that the arrow that Huang Zhong shot on it had basically penetrated, and the arrow had already emerged from the other side of the trunk, and he couldn't pull it out, so he could only knock it in and take it out directly from the other side.

Fei Qian looked left and right, found a little bit of a stone on the ground, knocked on the shaft of the arrow a few times, removed it from the other side of the trunk, carefully looked at the edge of the three-edged arrow, and found that there was basically no damage, but the tip of the arrow was slightly blunt, it seems that Huang Chengyan used the materials to build this batch of arrows for Huang Zhong is still very good.

Fei Qian suddenly thought that if this unlucky tree was regarded as an armorless target, then at this distance, under Huang Zhong's shot, it was basically ironclad penetrating damage, and the dense team might be able to penetrate the two of them......

But what if there is armor?

How much damage can ordinary armor avoid when attacked with a bow and arrow?

Thinking of this, Fei Qian also ran back and told Huang Zhong about it, wanting to ask Huang Zhong to help him try.

Unexpectedly, Huang Zhong hesitated a little and did not answer immediately, as if he was a little embarrassed to look at the dozen or so arrows.

Fei Qian guessed whether Huang Zhong was a little distressed about the newly made arrow, after all, although this kind of high-quality arrow is stronger than the average, there is also a chance of damage, and if it is broken, there will be one less.

Thinking of this, Fei Qian added that he would use ordinary arrows to test, and sure enough, Huang Zhong immediately agreed with a smile.

Fortunately, the Huang family is not short of these things, and after a while, not only tied a layer of armor to the target tree, but even knocked down two wooden stakes about the same thickness as the tree on both sides of the tree, and tied leather armor and fish scale armor.

Huang Zhong bent his bow and raised the arrow, almost without any careful aiming, he took turns shooting five arrows at each target, and when he shot at the fish scale armor, although one arrow was shot at the armor, it actually bounced away......

Then Huang Zhong made up another arrow.

Fei Qian peeked at Huang Zhong and Huang Chengyan's faces, and they both looked normal, without any embarrassment from being bounced off by the armor - Fei Qian immediately understood, indicating that good armor does have a certain chance of flying arrows, so Huang Chengyan and Huang Zhong will behave so calmly.

A normal arrow arrow is a flat triangle with two blades on both sides, and is about half the length of a finger.

Fei dived forward to check the differences between the armors, and found that the protective power of the leather armor was better than nothing, basically all penetrated, and the entire arrow was not in it, if it was a real person, it would basically be dead.

The armor is slightly better, and the effect of shooting at the gap between the iron pieces is basically the same as that of leather armor, which is pierced by arrows, but it is much better when shot at the iron plates.

Fei Qian took a look, and the three arrows on the armor that were tied to the iron plate were not very deep into the inside of the armor, and the tail of the arrows was stuck in the iron plate, so if it was a real person, the degree of injury should not be deep.

And the last fish scale armor has the strongest protection, and the arrow is flat, if the angle is not good when shooting on it, it will indeed be directly bounced away......

Of course, this is just an ordinary arrow, if it is replaced by a three-edged arrow customized by Huang Zhong, it is estimated that even if it is a fish scale armor, it will be penetrated.

In this way, the armor of the Eastern Han Dynasty only has high-grade fish scale armor that is considered to have better protection, and the armor and leather armor are not satisfactory, even if Huang Zhong is an archery master, then at least within 100 meters, the bow and arrow is also a very deadly weapon......
