Xu Qi'an looked at the arrows that fell not far from the target, and he didn't believe it.

Xiao Zan smiled slightly and said, "See?" This archery looks easy, but it's actually hard. Next! ”

With Xu Qi'an as a comparison, everyone knew how difficult it was for Xiao Zan to be able to shoot the target just now, and they put away their contemptuous thoughts one by one.

Sure enough, several people didn't hit the target next, but Xiao Zan was not too disappointed, he was touching everyone's bottom.

But Chen Zheng was a little anxious, this archery team was an important part of his plan, if he couldn't inflict some damage on the enemy, then the fire attack plan behind it would be meaningless.

"Brother Xiao, their archery skills are really not complimentary." Chen Zheng said worriedly.

Xiao Zan smiled slightly and said, "Time is too urgent, it is impossible for each of them to be like this son, who can penetrate Yang in a hundred steps and shoot wherever he wants." ”

"But is such a bow and arrow team useful?" Chen Zheng wondered.

"Nothing to use, right?" Li Shuang echoed.

Xiao Zan laughed and said, "The two of you don't seem to know much about the battle formation, this is on the battlefield, the power of the bow and arrow is not only reflected in the accuracy of the shot, but also in the wide coverage!" ”

"Brother Xiao, please make it clear." Chen Zhengdao, he really doesn't understand the battle formation, there is no need to pretend to understand.

Xiao Zan coughed lightly and started his performance, saying: "This bow and arrow shooting belongs to a range of strikes, within a certain range, it can make the enemy unavoidable, and even when dodging the bow and arrow, it will be self-defeating, and then there will be a chance to defeat them." ”

Li Shuang thought for a while and said, "But we have no one else to attack, even if they mess up, we won't have a chance to defeat them." ”

Xiao Zan was stunned, he ignored this problem, there was no one to mobilize in the follow-up, so it would be useless even if the other party was messy.

Chen Zheng was a little speechless, Xiao Zan's feelings were really on paper, and he hadn't thought it through.

Xiao Zan's forehead was dripping with beads of sweat, Chen Zheng smiled slightly, and said, "Even if no one else is transferred, there is no need to worry." ”

"No, Brother Chen, don't you understand, if you let those pirates get close, how can these archers be their opponents, and they won't be slaughtered by others at that time?" Xiao Zan said distressedly, "Alas, it's all my inconsiderate thinking, what should I do?" What to do! ”

Chen Zheng patted Xiao Zan and said, "Brother Xiao doesn't need to be upset, you don't have to mind this matter." ”

"Yes, Brother Xiao, let's think of other ways." Li Shuang also comforted on the side.

Xiao Zan said: "What else can be done, even if there are people now, there is not enough time to train." ”

Chen Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Brother Xiao, you forgot one thing. ”

"Huh?" Xiao Zan's face was a little ugly, how could he forget one thing again.

"Brother Chen, what did my son forget? Hurry up and remind me. Xiao Zan.

Chen Zheng pointed to the team in front of him and said, "Brother Xiao, have you forgotten who they are?" ”

Xiao Zan glanced at them and said, "My son hasn't forgotten, aren't these people the officials of the county government, the fast hands, and the crew members of the patrol ship?" ”

Chen Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, they are not ordinary people, they have combat effectiveness!" ”

After that, Chen Zheng walked up to everyone and said, "Everyone, if the pirates come, will you be afraid?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Qi'an, who missed the target of the arrow just now, laughed and said, "Master Chen, you are really joking." Will we be afraid of pirates? Don't hide it from Mr. Chen, there are already as many as three pirates who have been caught in his hands, so why be afraid? ”

"That's right, Master Chen, have you forgotten? That night, it was the bandit named Kato who I personally beat with a cane. Another official said.

"Oh, of course I didn't forget it." Chen Zhengdao, but he didn't recognize it, it was this person who was executed at that time.

Not to mention the crew members of the cruisers, they have directly fought with the pirates, so they are naturally not afraid.

Others also expressed their stance one after another, indicating that they were not afraid of the pirates at all, and even some were eager to fight the pirates.

Chen Zheng was very satisfied with their full fighting enthusiasm, turned around, and said to Xiao Zan, "Brother Xiao, have you seen it?" These men put down their bows and were the most powerful warriors. ”

After Xiao Zan heard this, he patted his head and said, "Oh, why didn't I think of it?" They're masters of thieves themselves, but I'm too worried. ”

Chen Zheng was a little speechless, obviously he didn't think about it, but he even said that he was too worried, and there was no one except Xiao Zan.

Li Shuang was overjoyed, and said happily: "If this is the case, even if those bandits waded through the pit formation of this son and avoided Brother Xiao's arrow rain array, when they approached these soldiers of ours, they were greeted by a bright broadsword, and I was a little excited to think about that scene." ”

Xiao Zan recovered his spirits and said to the idle servant next to him: "Go and inform Li County Commander that my son's team should be equipped with big swords and shields." ”

Chen Zheng saw that Xiao Zan was energetic again, and his heart relaxed a lot.

Xiao Zan said to Chen Zheng: "My son has figured out the archery level of these people at the moment, and it can be said that there is almost none, so I have to learn from the basics." ”

"Is there enough time?" Chen Zheng is most concerned about this.

Xiao Zan thought about it, and finally nodded, and said: "Time should be enough, they all used Qizheng's potion to refine their bodies, there should be no problem in strength, and this son will give them some archery skills, and it will be about the same." ”

Now there is no better way, the reinforcements don't know when they will arrive, and they can only hope that Xiao Zan will be more reliable, and there will be no problem with the trained archers.

"Then Brother Xiao will start training, let's take a look on the side." Chen Zheng said to Xiao Zan.

Xiao Zan was not polite, turned to everyone and shouted: "Now, everyone picks up the bow in their hands, and then spreads out left and right, back and forth, the distance is about an arm's length. ”

With the demonstration just now, everyone knew that Xiao Zan's bow technique was good, so no one complained at all, but all did what Xiao Zan asked.

Next, it was Xiao Zan who began to teach them how to shoot arrows.

To Chen Zheng's surprise, Xiao Zan did not directly let them practice archery, but divided the action of bending the bow and archery into several sub-movements, and then taught them one by one.

Chen Zheng couldn't help but praise in his heart, this Xiao Zan even knows how to decompose the action, so it is not only fast to learn, but also has a good foundation.

It seems that the person who taught Xiao Zan archery at the beginning was also a master.

When everyone learns, they are quite honest, there are only a few people, it seems that they are really too stupid, and there are always a few cohesive actions that are not good.

The rest of the people have basically learned about it.

After learning a full set of archery movements, the sun has set in the west, and a cloud hangs in the west, which is very beautiful.

Of course, Xiao Zan was not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery, he said to the people who had finished learning archery: "You have finished learning archery just now, it can be said that you have learned, but ......"

A "but" shows that the archery that everyone learns is still a little insufficient, and Xiao Zan pondered for a long time before saying the words behind the "but".

"But I don't know how much you've learned, so we need to test again to see if you've improved." Xiao Zan said.

"I'm coming!" As expected, Kuaishou Xu Qi'an stood up again.

It's just that this time, Xu Qi'an's actions of taking the bow, setting up the arrow, and bending the bow are very standard, and Chen Zheng didn't see any flaws at all.

Sou!

Xu Qi'an let go of the bowstring, and the sharp arrow flew out at great speed, and the target was a target a hundred steps away.

Bang!

"Shot!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, Chen Zheng looked around, and sure enough, he saw that the arrow was nailed to the target, but the position was on the edge, if it was calculated according to the score, this time Xu Qi'an's score was not high.

But compared to the off-target just now, this time the progress is obvious to all.

To put it simply, Xu Qi'an's score was zero points before, but this time Xu Qi'an's score was two points, while Xiao Zan's score was eight points.

Although Xu Qi'an seems to have only improved by two points, the progress of these two points is a qualitative leap, and it is even more important than the six points between him and Xiao Zan.

From nothing to something, qualitative change is infinite and immeasurable.

Xu Qi'an was also quite satisfied, and then the next one.

Chen Zheng could clearly see that this time, their archery skills had improved significantly, although the shooting was relatively biased, but there were still many people shooting at the target.

Especially Meng Chujiu, who has a kung fu foundation and has fully absorbed Yu Qizheng's medicinal liquid, has a very good control over his strength and skills.

Meng Chujiu's arrow was already very close to the bull's-eye, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he shot better than Xiao Zan just now.

Chen Zheng thought that after Xiao Zan saw it, his face would be unbearable, and he wanted to comfort him.

But who knew that Xiao Zan laughed, came to Meng Chujiu's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You learned well!" It's better than Ben Gongzi so soon, well, the potential is good, Ben Gongzi is optimistic about you! ”

Meng Chujiu grinned and said, "This is all taught by Xiao Gongzi, otherwise it will be off target." ”

Xiao Zan listened to Meng Chujiu's words and was very happy, this is right, no matter how good the shooting is, he didn't teach it himself?

"When you get to the battlefield, shoot a few more pirates!" Xiao Zan said with a smile.

Meng Chujiu nodded and said, "Young Master Xiao, please rest assured, everything is under control!" ”

At this time, the sun completely hid behind the mountain, and it was dark, and it was obvious that he could not shoot arrows.

Chen Zheng said to Xiao Zan: "The bandits are coming, it may be in the past two days, everyone will be on guard tonight, ready at any time, and leave people to keep vigil." ”

Xiao Zan and Li Shuang both agreed with Chen Zheng's opinion very much, so Xiao Zan distributed the ten bows and ten crossbows that Chen Zheng had commissioned before, as well as a large number of Qinghai arrows.

Bows and crossbows are limited in number and can only be distributed according to the archery technique.

In addition, there are knives and shields, under Chen Zheng's reminder, Xiao Zan's request, Li Gang sent someone to send some knives and shields in the arsenal, one set per person.

Meng Chujiu had the chopping wind he carried with him, but he didn't use the county government's standard broadsword, which he was not used to.

After the arrangement was made, Chen Zheng saw that it was getting late, so he said: "Brother Jiu, go to your place to have some food, rest early tonight, and there may be a big battle tomorrow." ”

The four of them simply cleaned up and came to Juquande Restaurant.

Although the restaurant has been closed for the past two days, there is still fresh meat stored in the warehouse.

Meng Chujiu took out some and grilled them directly, and after a while, the aroma of meat overflowed, and the stomachs of the four of them were growling in anger.

After eating and drinking, Li Shuang was the first to stand up and said, "Two, let's go to the harbor first." ”

Chen Zheng frowned and said, "It's so late, why do you still go to the harbor?" ”

"Brother Chen, have you forgotten? I promised Scribe Lu to be with them tonight, and my son can't break his word and get fat. Li Shuang said as a matter of course.

Xiao Zan also stood up and said to Li Shuang: "Brother Li, let's go together." ”

"What is Brother Xiao going to do? It's really not safe, don't go. Li Shuang frowned.

Meng Chujiu also nodded and said, "Young Master Xiao, with me here, you can rest assured that the archery team is in charge." ”

Xiao Zan shook his head and said, "It's not a matter of worrying about it, you all went to stick to it, but Ben Gongzi slept in the back, do you think Ben Gongzi can sleep soundly?" ”

"Obviously not!" Xiao Zan continued, "What if the pirates come tonight and Ben Gongzi misses the most intense part?" This kind of thing doesn't have to happen a second time. ”

Meng Chujiu nodded and said, "Xiao Gongzi is right, then wait for me for a while, I'll clean up here, let's go together, it's good to have a companion, this big night, it's not easy to walk on the road." ”

Li Shuang frowned, and said: "When is it now, don't be so exquisite, when this matter is over, let's come back and clean up carefully." ”

Meng Chujiu thought for a while and said, "Then listen to Li Gongzi, let's set off now." ”

After the three of them discussed, they found that Chen Zheng had been sitting there without speaking, and he didn't know what he thought.

Li Shuang smiled slightly and said, "Brother Chen, what about you?" Where to go tonight? ”

Chen Zheng looked at the three of them, sighed, and said, "My lady is not at home anyway, and she can't sleep well when she goes back alone, so I have to worry about you, so let's just go together." ”

After Xiao Zan heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "It's the so-called brother who fights the tiger, a few of our brothers join forces, let alone a few pirates, even if the Fusang country comes to attack, we can beat him back." ”

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let's go." Chen Zhengdao.

Meng Chujiu closed the door of the restaurant, and the four of them took advantage of the moonlight and walked towards Jiuquwan Harbor.

The archers had arrived a long time ago, and now they were arranged, according to the formation agreed by Chen Zheng and Xiao Zan before, facing the open space in front of Jiuquwan Harbor that had been dug by Chen Zheng at this moment.

The three of them also parted, Li Shuang went to the hill next to the harbor and joined Lu Desheng, Xiao Zan stayed here with the archers, and Chen Zheng went to find Xusheng.

Do your duty, stand by the stars and moon!
