Chapter 31: Demonstration
This celebration banquet was also eaten, and the wine was drunk, and Lin Fan Anning was not so polite to these sergeants next. From morning to night, there are all kinds of exercises, which make these people miserable one by one.
As soon as the morning dawned, everyone had to be called out of their beds and run around the camp in a queue for an hour, until they could no longer run, and then they could have breakfast.
And this can only be regarded as a warm-up, and the training will officially start after breakfast.
The first is the battle formation drill, which is mainly based on double-line formations, and other small formations. The daily task of the soldiers is to hold various wooden ordnance, practice the coordination between the members of the formation and the various changes in the battle formation, and sometimes conduct simulated confrontations with each other.
These people are not fuel-efficient lamps one by one, and they frequently use all kinds of tricks in order to rectify others during sparring.
And the result is that no one ends well, and within half a day, everyone becomes blue and swollen, and then everyone laughs at each other, and it is fun to do it, which can be regarded as a pleasure in suffering.
After the morning, the afternoon training was waiting for them.
The soldiers in the Wuguan Inspection Division are mainly archers, and the old business naturally cannot be lost. Since most of these people don't know how to ride horses, and there are not many horses in the inspection department, there is no way to practice riding archery.
In fact, these foot soldiers do not need to ride and shoot, as the so-called south ship and north horse, compared with the northerners, the southerners are not suitable for horseback riding, blindly chasing riding and shooting, but some of them are a little sacrificing.
At the beginning of the training, most of the training was fixed targets, and the distance was only 50 steps. But for the archers of the Inspection Division, it seems that the difficulty is a bit high, everyone basically misses the target one after another, and no one can shoot the arrow to the target, and there are not even a few who can shoot to fifty steps, which really makes Lin Fan angry.
If you want to be an archer, you must be able to draw a strong bow, and people with poor physique are not playing. Therefore, Lin Fan originally thought that even though these people were not as good as archers in the regular army, they could become an archer after passing the assessment, at least their physical fitness would not be bad. didn't expect them to look like they all looked big and round, but they were all strong on the outside and capable in the middle, which shows what the hell the previous training was like.
Although their own combat power is a mess, these archers are still quite arrogant, and they think that they are superior to those melee foot soldiers.
Even if An Ning shot the bandit leader with an arrow a few days ago made them change their views on Lin Fan and the others, it was difficult to completely reverse the deep-rooted concept for a while. In addition, I am usually lazy and unwilling, so I often cheat and play tricks in training, and I am not very cooperative, and I will complain about the slightest difficulty.
There was no way, seeing that everyone was like this, Lin Fan really couldn't see it, so he had to go into battle in person and demonstrate archery skills for them, in fact, it was more to suppress their arrogance that they didn't know where it came from.
Since the middle lift, due to the many things, Lin Fan really can't spare time, and he hasn't practiced archery for a long time.
He first picked out a good horn bow, held his breath, stood with the bow, and looked for a feeling. Then he tugged on the bowstring a few times, listened to the clanging sound of the bowstring, nodded his head to show that he was satisfied, then put a ring on his thumb to protect his fingers, took out a feathered arrow from the quiver, and drew the arrow with his bow, pointing straight ahead.
I saw him pull the bowstring with his thumb, press his thumb and middle finger, and pull the bowstring so hard that the whole bow became a full moon almost instantly. The feather arrow formed a sharp angle with the bowstring, and when Lin Fan pulled the bow to the extreme, aimed at the target position in front of him, and released his fingers.
Just listen to the sound of the swish, the sound of breaking the wind suddenly rose, before everyone reacted, the arrow was already firmly on the target, hit the bull's-eye, and almost half of the arrow body has penetrated the arrow target, from the back of the arrow target exposed, the tail feathers of the arrow trembled gently, enough to see the strength of the bow.
If just such an arrow doesn't mean anything, it can only mean that Lin Fan's archery skills are okay, but it is still far from the words archery master.
For Lin Fan, this is just a small test for him, if he can't suppress these people at once, it will be even more difficult to control in the future. So, the next step is the real highlight.
After this arrow, Lin Fan, who had just revealed his hand, asked him to move the arrow target to a position a hundred steps away from him. The others also didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and they kept agitating and applauding, they all wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Lin Fan's gourd, and by the way, to see how many catties and taels Lin Fan, a young man, had.
glanced at the eyes of Song Mao, who was watching from the side, and several sergeants followed the order. But they had just stood still with the target on their shoulders, and before they could leave, they heard the crowd shouting in unison in the distance: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
It turned out that Lin Fan saw them erect arrow targets, and he didn't wait for them to retreat to a safe distance, so he directly opened his bow and shot arrows.
The bow is like a full moon, the arrow is like a meteor, and before the sergeant under the target can react, he only hears the sound of Zheng, which is familiar to everyone, it is the sound of an arrow hitting the target.
A few people looked up, and sure enough, not far from the top of several people's heads, a feather arrow was firmly nailed to the center of the arrow target, and the tail of the feather arrow was still trembling slightly.
Seeing this scene, these people were so frightened that they almost squatted on the ground, as if their buttocks were on fire, and they crawled down with a roll, and quickly dodged away from the arrow target, fearing that they would lose their lives if they were not careful.
Before everyone could open their mouths to question, Lin Fan opened his bow and shot again. An arrow did not stop, an arrow rose again, his arrows were like beads, and he shot more than a dozen arrows one after another, and the arrows did not leave the red heart, which dazzled the people watching from the sidelines.
Seeing this, everyone closed their mouths, and no one asked him about what happened just now. Everyone understood that Lin Fan would shoot a bow and arrow just now when he was absolutely sure, and those sergeants would definitely be fine!
Just when everyone was surprised and amazed by Lin Fan's archery skills, thinking that it was going to end here, they didn't expect that at this moment, Lin Fan suddenly turned around and shouted: "Anning!"
As if she had already guessed it, An Ning laughed, and did not slack off, picked up a wine bowl and threw it into the sky.
Lin Fan had already prepared, and an arrow shot out, hitting the right side of the wine bowl, changing the trajectory of the wine bowl in the air.
Lin Fan then shot the second arrow, and after this arrow was shot, he didn't wait for the result to be, and he shot the third arrow directly without looking at it.
The left side of the wine bowl was unexpectedly shot by the second arrow, and the trajectory changed again, seeing that the wine bowl was getting lower and lower, Lin Fan's third arrow came first, as if waiting for the wine bowl to meet itself, and directly penetrated it, and nailed it into a pillar on the school field.
After a moment of consternation, followed by the sound of gasping, and then, everyone spontaneously applauded, from the first one, to two, to three, and after an instant, everyone did not hesitate to give it to Lin Fan, and the applause on the school field was thunderous, and it could not be stopped for a long time.
The people here are all archers, and everyone knows how difficult it is to practice archery to this level. Although Lin Fan is young, he has such archery skills, but he can never be practiced only by relying on the so-called talent, and can only have such attainments under the hard work accumulated day after day, year after year.
Lin Fan handed over the bow and quiver in his hand to others, and stood with his hands in his hands. Under the cover of the sleeves of his robe, no one could see that his arms were actually trembling slightly.
Archery is extremely demanding on people's physical strength, and the strong bow has the power of several stones, if you want to pull it away, you must be strong enough to be strong; Even if you are the best of the best archers, under continuous shooting, you will feel that your arms are sore, and even swollen after a maximum of six or seven arrows.
Mo said that Lin Fan was not born with divine power, even if he had excellent physical strength and great bravery, but just now he shot fifteen or sixteen arrows in a row, and his arms were already extremely sore, all relying on one breath to support, and the injuries on his body have not recovered, resulting in his lack of strength, and it is really difficult to continue at this time.
Lin Fan was calm, took a few deep breaths while everyone was applauding and cheering, and secretly calmed down the air in his abdomen, but on the surface, he was silent, and all the fritters present were old fritters, so as not to be seen abnormally.
He paused for a moment to stop everyone's momentum from continuing the carnival, and said, "Brothers, you have all seen my archery skills just now, does anyone think that their archery skills are better than mine?" If there is, then stand up and show everyone, if you win me, not only will you not have to participate in the future training, but I will take out fifty taels of silver and send it to you in person, asking you to teach everyone to practice archery, and even my position can be given to you, how about it! Does anyone want to come out? ”
Everyone was silent, Lin Fan glanced around, as far as his eyes could see, everyone turned their heads one after another, not daring to look directly at him.
Lin Fan saw that no one came out, so he continued to say: "Okay, since none of you are willing to come out, you will train me honestly in the future, and take back all those arrogance and complaints for me.
He turned his head to look at An Ning again, and said to everyone: "You all take a good look at your An Jiaotou, his archery skills are not under me, learn hard!" This world is getting more and more chaotic, as long as you can learn even five or six points, you will have a few points to save your life on the battlefield in the future, and you will not go up to die in vain! ”
The sergeants followed Lin Fan's gaze and looked at An Ning, who had always been afraid of heaven and earth, and was a little embarrassed.
Looking at this somewhat shy young man, everyone would not doubt what Lin Fan had just said.
In this short period of time, An Ning has left a deep impression on everyone, whether it is martial arts or the art of war, or even the art of war drills to arrange troops, they are quite popular. Although some people are hard-mouthed and a little unconvinced verbally, they are actually very convinced by An Ning in their hearts.
Although the time is not long, An Ning's series of performances are enough to prove that what Lin Fan said is true.
And at this time, everyone knew that An Ning was actually born in slavery, and in terms of background, he was not much better than himself and others, and maybe even worse. is such an entourage scholar, but his ability is by no means comparable to ordinary people.
With such a person, you and other talents may have a bright future, at least you can learn a lot of skills, which is much better than wasting time here.
This is an opportunity that is difficult to buy for a thousand dollars, but it was caught up by his own people, if he can't seize the opportunity, wouldn't he be hit by five thunders from the sky!
Besides, even if An Jiaotou can't do it, isn't there a more powerful adult above!
A little scholar is so powerful, and it is not difficult to imagine how powerful the master is.
Although our adult doesn't shoot often, we can also know from the scales and half-claws that were exposed in the last attack and this personal demonstration that this young adult has great ability, to say the least.
With the ability of an adult, this small inspection department will never be trapped, and it is a matter of time before it is promoted to become rich. When the time comes, you will be prosperous, and with such a Shangguan, as long as you do your best, you won't worry that you won't have a good future in the future!
