Cao Anmin is the son of Cao De, on the night of his escape, Liu Ping only brought Cao Song, but not Cao De, if Cao Anmin has no mustard for Liu Ping in his heart, it is impossible.

It's just that now with Liu Ping's more and more meritorious contributions and his status in the Cao family becoming more and more important, Cao Anmin also knows in his heart that he can't find Liu Ping's bad luck to dispel the injustice in his heart.

That would make everyone hostile to themselves, and it would not do them any good.

It's just that today's proposal for this competition was put forward by him, and adding a specific rate of fire seems to be very reasonable.

After all, you Liu Ping is using a crossbow, which is itself an opportunistic act.

"That's it," Cao Song waved his hand, made the final decision, and said to Liu Ping: "Ping'er, if you don't practice riding and shooting, you can't do anything about it, if you want to be a general who is both civil and military, you still have to practice riding and archery in the future." ”

Crossbowmen are certainly powerful on the battlefield compared to archers, but that is without precise aiming.

However, it is an indisputable fact that in the school military field, crossbowmen are inevitably inferior to an excellent archer who has been trained for a long time.

Cao Song, as a person who has been a captain, naturally knows this clearly, but Liu Ping has always performed too well before, and it is not a bad thing to frustrate his spirit at this time and let him suffer a failure.

It can also be tested whether Liu Ping can lose.

After all, winning all the time does not show that a person is strong, being able to withstand setbacks, and being able to make a comeback after losing is the best quality.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei both have such qualities......

"In terms of riding and archery, my grandson is naturally not as good as my brothers, and the reason why I tried it today is completely to cheer up my eldest father, and it is inevitable that I will lose."

Liu Ping had already regretted inviting Cao Song to see the crossbow, if he had known that he was not interested, why would he cause such trouble?

At this time, all the brothers nodded in unison, and they were very satisfied with Liu Ping's attitude of taking the initiative to admit it.

They are all the children of military generals, and in terms of commanding operations, they are naturally not Liu Ping's opponents, if even the cavalry and shooting are covered by Liu Ping, then what else can they take out?

Everyone began to move their hands and feet, ready to show off their skills.

After Cao Song, the "referee", gave the order to begin, he ordered a servant to turn his back and shout loudly and at a uniform speed to be a human flesh "counter".

The sons took turns to shoot their bows and arrows at distant targets at a hundred paces.

The speed is very fast, and the level of normal people is to shoot within fifteen.

Of the twelve arrows, few missed the target, and five or six out of ten hit the heart.

Cao Ang, Xiahou Chong and other archery skills are slightly higher, and those who shoot red hearts are eight or nine times out of ten.

And Cao Anmin since his father's death, although Cao Song feels guilty about him, orphans are very favored.

But he knew that without his father, he would have to rely on himself for everything, so he spent more time on riding and shooting than anyone else, and worked hard.

Today is indeed the time for him to show the results of more than a year of hard work.

He bent his bow and arrows, aiming at ......

"Whoosh!" It turned out to be a series of arrows.

Although his rate of fire was obviously much slower than Tai Shi Ci's, he was already outstanding among the brothers.

When the "human flesh counter" counted to eight, he had already finished shooting, and on closer inspection, there were ten arrows firmly pierced on the red heart of the arrow target, and the remaining two were not far away.

Cao Anmin breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that his hard work for so long has not been in vain.

The other brothers suddenly looked discouraged, but they didn't expect Cao Anmin, who was not very outstanding before, to achieve such excellent results all of a sudden, and he won the first place today, which is undisputed.

Cao Jie pouted and came to Liu Ping's side and whispered: "Brother Liu Ping, it doesn't matter if you lose, there are still a few pieces of jade pendant given by the emperor, I will ask the eldest father for it, and the eldest father will definitely give it, and I will bring it to you when the time comes." ”

"How do you know that your husband will definitely lose?" Liu Ping blinked his eyes and said in Cao Jie's ear.

"Brother An Min only used eight numbers, and ten out of twelve, can you still win?" Cao Jie's face was full of doubts.

Seeing that Cao Song was ready to "present the award" to Cao Anmin, Liu Ping smiled slightly, beckoned, called Ma Jun over, and whispered a few words.

Ma Jun nodded, hurriedly ran back to the house, and took out a repeater he made.

"Ping'er, what are you taking?"

Only then did Cao Song realize that Liu Ping's crossbow did not seem to be the same as the crossbow in the Han court's army.

The crossbow machine of the Han army has an arrow box, and there is a mountain of hope, and there is a only arrow mouth, so as to ensure accuracy, but the crossbow machine in Liu Ping's hand seems to have a row of arrow mouths.

In fact, this is already an improved version of Ma Jun's Zhuge repeater on the basis of the Zhuge repeater, "Zhuge repeater, called Yuan Rong, one crossbow and ten arrows are fired", but the crossbow machine in Liu Ping's hand, after improvement, can fire fifty crossbow arrows at a time.

Moreover, the Zhuge repeater has a huge drawback, that is, it cannot solve the problem of winding.

The crossbow machine of the Han army, shooting an arrow, the range is generally about one hundred and fifty steps, but the same force is tied to ten arrows, the effective range is only more than fifty steps, if you want to increase the range, you can only increase the string force, so you need to use your feet to wind, so it loses its flexibility.

So Zhuge Liang had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and sacrifice the range to ensure the quantity, after all, there were mostly melee battles on the battlefield.

However, after Ma Jun's improvement, he cleverly solved the problem of winding with a lever, and an ordinary person, through the long and short rods on the crossbow machine, can also press out the string force of more than five people, so as to ensure both quantity and quality.

This is why, after Ma Jun saw the Zhuge Repeater, he concluded that he could increase the power by five times.

"This is the crossbow machine that my grandson wants my eldest father to see," Liu Ping handed the crossbow in his hand to Cao Song.

Cao Song looked at it again and again for a long time, and wondered: "How to use this thing?" ”

"Let your grandson show you," Liu Ping took the crossbow machine and took the crossbow bolt from Ma Jun's hand.

He was surprised to find that the bolt was not a special crossbow bolt, but only a sawed off the tail of the feathered arrow.

It turned out that this was Ma Jun's idea, the feather arrow has an arrow tail, which cannot be put into the arrow box anyway, but the arrow tail is sawed off, the length is equivalent to the crossbow arrow, and he can use it with a little modification of the crossbow machine.

After all, when it comes to the battlefield, it is not much trouble to sawn off the tail of the arrow in bundles.

Liu Ping didn't dare to load more, loaded twelve arrows at a time, and then said to Cao Song with a smile: "Please start counting Father." ”

Cao Song naturally hadn't seen more than a dozen crossbows, so he nodded at the "human meat counter".

The "one" counter just shouted out a number.

"Whoosh!" The crossbow machine in Liu Ping's hand had already sent out twelve arrows at the same time.

And all but two of the twelve arrows missed the target, and none of them hit the heart.

There were even two left, one on the right and one on the right, running to the target next to them......
