Chapter Ninety-Eight: Group Shooting
Sun Ji was stunned for a moment, the rate of fire, if it is said that in the Great Song Army, in terms of accuracy and range, there must be a lot of them, and there are quite a few of them, some elite archers, accuracy, is their only advantage,
If you want to compare with him in terms of rate of fire, there are not many, Lianzhu arrow is originally a special archery method, in just 72 breaths, more than 50 arrows were shot, or even 60, each of which is extremely powerful, and he is the only one in the entire Great Song Dynasty.

A short bow like a jasper bow takes into account both strength and speed, allowing him to hold 3 long arrows at a time and shoot with a special method, so that he can obtain such a terrible short-time shooting method, but what can a longbow, his strength is great, 3 arrows that are three times heavier than ordinary arrows, he can pick them up and shoot them quickly, which has a huge impact on his endurance.
Not to mention, the biggest difference between a longbow and a short bow is the distance after it is full, and this distance directly determines the rate of fire, compared to the jasper bow, this distance is at least 3 times more.
Sun Ji looked at Zhao Xin strangely, if you say, the longbow saves effort and uses the minimum force to achieve the effect of a short bow, this is Thaksin, in terms of rate of fire, he is the most professional, the rate of fire of the longbow is really not dominant, even if he develops a set of methods for the longbow, it is impossible to improve it too much, and it is already good to be able to reach the ordinary range.
Zhao Xin looked at Sun Ji's strange face, and then realized his mistake, the rate of fire he said was for ordinary archers, not a special skill like Sun Ji, the strength of the bead arrow, that was what he saw with his own eyes, when retreating, he saw Sun Ji alone on the boat, like a machine gun, in just over a minute, killed 50 horses, this is 50 horses, just like Sun Ji was killed, the role of the bead arrow in the middle is very obvious.
He has also seen the jasper bow, the power is very large, from the full bow to the recovery, the distance is very short, relying on special methods, continuous stimulation and return, which has created the glory of Sun Ji, in this sense, this longbow is really not suitable for Sun Ji, the distance of the bow, let the beaded arrow waste half.
The appearance of the longbow is more aimed at ordinary archers than special shooters like Sun Ji, who is the most suitable archer for short bows, and it takes time to adapt to longbows.
Zhao Xin was only slightly stunned, then changed his method and asked from other aspects: "What is the rate of fire of an ordinary shooter!" ”
"For how long?"
"60 Breaths"
Sun Ji served as an archery instructor and chief instructor of the forbidden army, and he knew the rate of fire of ordinary shooters in the forbidden army, so he nodded and said, "Five or six times."
Zhao Xin nodded, affirmed Sun Ji's statement, and then pointed to the longbow and said, "What about using this longbow?" ”
"It should be about the same!"
Sun Ji said with some uncertainty, because the power of this bow is small, and it will be much easier for ordinary shooters to use, offsetting the disadvantage of the length of part of the longbow, plus the long arrow is not easy to hold, so it will be discounted a little, and the soft power will offset many disadvantages, even if it will produce a little advantage, it is not big, not enough to be overwhelming.
Sure enough, looking at Sun Ji's expression and rhetoric, Zhao Xin understood that it seemed that there were many, many more knowledge on the longbow, which were all summarized in the long war era, and these were not broken, or used for a long time, they may not be able to be summarized.
The short bow, using a quiver, is placed on the back, the archer reaches out backwards, and the skilled almost does not need to determine the position, he can get the arrow into his hand, and then shoot, which is specially prepared for short arrows, more convenient and faster, but for the longbow, the length is almost doubled, and the arrow of 1.2 meters is taken out from the back, which is very inconvenient.
In the training of English longbowmen, how to place arrows is a very key, the arrow of the longbow is inserted in the ground, the short bow is at most fifty or sixty centimeters, inserted into the ground, but also reach out and bend down to reach, but the longbow is 1.2 meters long, inserted in the ground, just next to the position of the hand, so than the back of the quiver, more convenient, can be fished at hand.
This is the advantage that the longbow has, about 1.2 meters, or a little higher long arrow, in a convenient place for the hand, inserted into the ground than on the back, more convenient.
Zhao Xin inserted a long arrow into the soil and said, "Try it!" ”
"Is that so?" Sun Ji half-believed that he pierced the 20 long arrows on the ground, stood forward, and felt that he was coming immediately, raised his longbow, and was about to shoot, but was stopped by Zhao Xin, and said: "No need to be accurate, throw, the same angle, the same force, can this be done?" ”
It's very simple, Sun Ji opened his bow and opened the arrow, and began to shoot out with a whoosh, Qu Yang next to him, silently calculated, the arrow was placed on the ground, which was much better than putting it behind his back, or taking it out of the quiver, and flew out smoothly one by one.
If the archer shoots casually, not to mention Sun Ji's level, even if it is the most ordinary marksman in the army, they shoot indiscriminately, every 60 breaths, it can almost reach a dozen times, but this is useless, similar to Sun Ji, if he has the skill of a handful of arrows, he shoots the bow and arrows no less than a million times, which feeling in his heart has been formed.
Sun Ji's accuracy is no longer something that can be achieved by training, talent must be required, and then the correct training method is required.
However, the longbow is still the first contact, under the casual shooting, he didn't even use the skill of aiming, just passive, according to the same angle, the same direction of shooting, about 60 breaths of time, can actually reach 17 arrows, without the skill of continuous arrows, you can also shoot at a faster speed, such a density is very high.
"Let's go, let's go and have a look!" Seeing that Sun Ji finished ejaculating, Zhao Xin said lightly.
Walking to the opposite side, the dispersion of the longbow is not high, plus the same angle, the same strength, Sun Ji controlled it very well, the trajectory of the bow, showing a relatively uniform distribution, the error is not too big.
This surprised Sun Ji, even if he is an elite archer like him, if there is no strong bow like a jasper bow, an ordinary bow and arrow, affected by many factors such as wind, after a certain distance, can only guarantee an approximate hit rate.
He is not using a direct shot, it is a projectile, and the projectile is not easy to hit, even if it is Sun Ji, there is no inevitable certainty, but the trajectory is concentrated in a small range, which is a fact, which means that this bow will be affected by other things very little, which is also an advantage.
Seeing Sun Ji's thoughts, Zhao Xin added another fire, what if it was an attack by many people?
Archers, one or two, can only play a role on the battlefield if they reach their level, at least a sharpshooter who wears through the Yang at a hundred paces, and ordinary archers, in the face of group charges, must hug the group, and only intensive shooting can bring lethality.
The longbow seems to take care of it, the arrow is inserted into the ground, easy to use, the average archer, after training, can complete more than 10 attacks within 60 breaths, and although the projectile is difficult to hit, to his level, it is still possible to determine the approximate location, this is the key, a person's hit rate is not high, but 100, 500, or even 1000 people?
