Chapter 48 Zhao Tuo joins the army
Li Tangshan had already given Zhao Yilang a preventive injection before, and Zhao Yilang had no objections. With Li Tangshan, they returned to his dilapidated home, and Zhao Yilang prepared some things for them to go out. Zhao Yilang was very careful to wrap a linen cloth with a military thorn and hand it to Li Tangshan: "Tangshan, this is the belongings we found you when we found you, this thing is harder than my ironware, and the good thing will be returned to you now." “
Li Tangshan was happy to take over the military stab, and he liked to use this modern cold weapon very much.
Zhao Di was still a little reluctant to Zhao Tuo and Li Tangshan, and gave Zhao Tuo and Li Tangshan the best rations in the family.
Li Tangshan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be so much!" If you give it all to us, Zhao Man and they will be hungry. We'll be getting rations ourselves soon! “
Li Tangshan's time was almost up, Li Tangshan and Zhao Tuo said goodbye to their elders and went out with Li Tangshan. Zhao Tuo left his parents for the first time and went far away, and he was excited to fly around like a little lark.
Li Tangshan asked Zhao Tuo to inquire which direction the Qin army was, Zhao Tuo was really a clever little kid, and he quickly knew the direction of the Qin army.
Due to the Qin army's successive campaigns, the army's strength gap was relatively large, so Li Tangshan and Zhao Tuo quickly blended into the army.
Li Tangshan and Zhao Tuo were assigned to one of the material officers to be infantry, and the so-called material officers were infantry.
Li Tangshan had read history books and knew that infantry was the main body of the Qin Dynasty's army. Most of the warrior figurines unearthed from the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang are infantry figurines. Infantry is flexible, can adapt to various terrains, weather and combat forms, and is especially conducive to operating in dangerous and complex environments, so its distinction and equipment are more complex than other arms, and its use is more extensive than other arms. There are two main types of infantry: hoplite and light infantry.
Most of the hoplites wore metal armor and armed with long-handled weapons such as ge, spears, axes, and beryllium, and were tasked with fighting the enemy's heavy groups.
Light infantry generally do not wear armor, but carry long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows, and cooperate with heavy infantry to kill and injure enemy troops outside the combat distance.
Li Tangshan and Zhao Tuo were both lightly armed infantrymen. Wu Chang is a tall and thin veteran, and everyone calls him Shi Wu Chang. The captain is quite the leader of their squad, and all arrangements in the army have to be made by the captain. Wu Chang is also the youngest official in the Qin army, that is, he is in charge of five people.
Li Tangshan found that the life of the Qin army was very difficult and the training intensity was also very high, and Li Tangshan began to worry about whether Zhao Tuo could afford it.
Li Tangshan asked Zhao Tuo: "King Wu, can you hold on?" “
Zhao Tuo nodded: "Don't worry!" I love life here. “
Li Tangshan cheered Zhao Tuo: "Come on!" “
Shi Wuchang saw Li Tangshan and Zhao Tuo chatting, thinking that they were lazy with orders, and greeted Li Tangshan and Zhao Tuo with a whip.
Zhao Tuo screamed in pain: "You, the little military commander, want to murder me, the martial king of South Vietnam?" “
When Shi Wuchang heard Zhao Tuo return his mouth, he was even more angry in his heart: "You little kid, you are also the martial king of Nanyue, Lao Tzu has killed more people than you can eat." “
Zhao Tuo continued: "You are the most bragged! Why are you still a little captain when you kill the enemy? “
Shi Wu saw that the cowhide was broken by Zhao Tuo, and raised his leather whip to greet Zhao Tuo.
But Zhao Tuo was such an obedient person who was punished, shouting as he ran: "Chief Shi Wu, bragging!" “
Shi Wu Chang held a leather whip behind Zhao Tuo, causing the other sergeants in Yitun to laugh.
Shi Wuchang was even more angry, and the result of Zhao Tuo's return was that the whole army did not have dinner.
The training in ancient times was not the same as that of modern soldiers, and the Qin soldiers were five for one, and if one person made a mistake, the whole army was punished.
Zhao Tuo expressed his dissatisfaction, and made a bet with Shi Wuchang and made a bet, a month later, compared archery with Shi Wuchang, the Qin people were martial arts, and also respected the strong, Shi Wuchang soon agreed to compete with Zhao Tuo.
Li Tangshan arranged a special training course for Zhao Tuo, and after more than 10 days of physical training, Li Tangshan and Zhao Tuo finally had the opportunity to contact crossbow arrows. Zhao Tuo was very interested in the crossbow, and Li Tangshan was afraid of Zhao Tuo, so he secretly told Zhao Tuo the basic working principle of the crossbow and how to quickly improve the accuracy. And the crossbow used by Zhao Tuo was simply transformed by using modern shooting principles, and aiming devices such as crosshairs and notches were added.
Li Tangshan said: "How to practice bow and crossbow shooting to judge our main eye, bow and crossbow aiming is the basis for accurate shooting." “
Zhao Tuo: "I found that I aimed very accurately but missed the target, what is the reason for this?" “
Li Tangshan: "Many people have different eyesight in their eyes, one eye can see far, and one eye can see in, which means that the two eyes are one main and one pair, so when shooting a bow and crossbow, you must use your main eye to aim." In this way, the best results can be achieved with precision. Zhao Tuo, you try again! “
Zhao Tuo took the crossbow for a long time: "Li Tangshan, which eye is the main eye." “
Li Tangshan: "The practical bow and crossbow shooting, the way to judge the distinction between the main and secondary eyes is very simple, we can first observe with two eyes, use our left index finger to point to a fixed point in the distance, and then close the left eye and keep the original action unchanged, with our right eye to see, when we see that the left index finger is still at this point, then the right eye is the main eye of the shot. “
Zhao Tuo: "I'll try it first!" “
Li Tangshan continued to analyze: "If we see that the left index finger does not refer to this point, then we need to close our right eye and look with our left eye, and if we see that the left index finger is pointing at this point, it means that the left eye is the main eye of the shot." If both eyes can be at one point, both of our eyes can be the main eye of the shot. Otherwise, our eyes will form a master eye. “
Zhao Tuo said happily: "Li Tangshan, you are amazing!" I've found my Lord's eye. “
Li Tangshan nodded. "Because the bow and crossbow are different from person to person, you can choose different shots, if you aim with both eyes, then you must know your main eye, if you aim with one eye, this single eye is your main eye." There are also certain environmental factors in bow and crossbow shooting, not that we are not accurate, but that there is a reflection of light on both sunny and cloudy days, which is somewhat misleading for our bow and crossbow shooting. Bow and crossbow shooting is not something that can be successful in a day or two, don't rush for a while, go from near to far, practice diligently, and believe that you will succeed. “
Zhao Tuo had already mastered the basic skills and Li Tangshan's theory of modern shooting, and Li Tangshan's confidence in Zhao Tuo's victory had increased a lot.
Li Tangshan discovered that Zhao Tuo was born to belong to the army, and under his guidance, Zhao Tuo's archery skills improved rapidly.
Soon it was time for the competition, and the news that Wu Chang accepted Zhao Tuo's challenge had spread widely. Everyone came to see the excitement, and the planning of the game was very simple, similar to the way to play the flying mark today, the higher the score for the number of rings. It is divided into 10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters and 50 meters.
10-meter shooting, there is no difficulty for Shi Wu and Zhao Tuochang.
20 meters is also easy.
30-meter shooting is not very easy to shoot, three arrows per person, Shi Wuchang three arrows all hit the target, everyone applauded desperately, Shi Wuchang looked at Zhao Tuo quite proudly.
Zhao Tuo was very unconcerned about Shi Wuchang's performance, and directly asked for the shooting distance to be increased to 50 meters. Shi Wuchang said: "Little brat, this is a distance of 100 steps through Yang, can you do it?" There are not many people in the whole tun who can do it. “。
Zhao Tuo said: "Your grandfather and I Zhao Tuo are the ones who can do it in Quantun." Grandpa gives you long eyes. “
