In terms of archery, the training almost starts from scratch, even if it is ten days of hard training under the overdraft of resources, it is impossible to reach a very high level, but the direction is not too strict in terms of accuracy, but the attack on moving targets in actual combat is completely different. Coupled with the relatively scientific guidance and summary, the archery skills of the first 200 years or so who were able to pull the Wudou Bow have been fundamentally different.

"What did you learn from the last round of training, don't hold back when you speak freely, the team with the best results and achieved the ultimate desired goal is said to have been awarded the Torch Medal in the future. Let me first talk about the experience of combining the teachings and training of the Holy Lord: the most important thing is to judge the distance accurately. I thought of a solution: first of all, the thickness of the black shadow's head should be judged accurately. If the thickness of the black shadow's head is about the same as the thickness of the thumb of the forehand, then it means that you can press a little bit and aim directly, which is a distance of ten or five steps. As long as the opposite side is rushing straight over, the speed is too big if you don't run sideways, and it's basically about five steps away. Of course, if you are running sideways at full speed, you must also advance most of your fist in advance, that is, a distance of about one kick. If it is not running at full speed, it will be halved according to the corresponding degree. I think this is the most important thing. The immediate target is usually a distance of about ten steps, that is, a distance of about one zhang at an angle of about 30 degrees in advance. Okay, have you memorized the trick? ”

Hearing this method summed up by Xiao Xuan

"Captain, this is too difficult to memorize, too long, longer than the ancient Chinese taught by my husband when I was a child."

"yes, it's impossible to carry it tomorrow. The nine forms of movement of the nine distances and targets add up to eighty-one variations... ”

At this time, a smart boy from the first shooting team selected from the second squadron of the left battalion of the former army was from a fairly wealthy family, had read some books, and often asked Xiao Xuan for advice: "Can it be like this: let's make an aiming disc and install it on the bow arm to assist in aiming." Direct field testing carved out nine different distances of human head thickness, bamboo-like horizontal signs. In this way, at least the distance will be easy to judge according to the situation in real combat. In this way, a few longitudinal diagonal lines are pulled to represent the different degrees of speed judgment of the target, and archery has a more accurate reference. . . We called him the triangular sight ruler... ”

"I want to hear it ... That's a good idea. It's just that how to make this triangular sight ruler still has to be discussed with the saint himself... ”

In fact, because of the higher level of education and more summaries, Xiao Xuan at this time also began to gradually understand where the essentials of this kind of archery against actual combat sports targets lie. If you want to pursue the highest efficiency and achieve a good result, it is really not something that can be achieved by simply piling up the number of archery.

When the children of the second squadron of the left battalion of the former army found Xiao Xuan, Xiao Xuan finally made several modifications, and finally made a sighting ruler after finding a few carpenters with good skills, but it was not the kind of triangle that the children originally designed, but more similar to a sporadic aiming ruler composed of two triangles. First of all, think about a kind of movement speed, that is, the more common movement speed and state in target confrontation, the closer to the advance, the smaller the advance, and the larger the target corresponding to the reference object. The farther away it is, the narrower it becomes. Above are several references that should be measured at different speeds and movements, and the entire diamond-shaped sight rod looks like a grid. As for why it is not a disc shape like an anti-aircraft machine gun sight, Xiao Xuan doesn't know how to use an anti-aircraft machine gun sight, but he also has some understanding: the target in the air will eventually maneuver in all directions and maneuver in various states, but the target on the ground can only move horizontally, so it is not so complicated. The two triangular rulers are actually because the direction of the target maneuver is not necessarily very suitable for the shooter to aim from right to left, but also from left to right.

Not long after this kind of sighting ruler was trial-produced and installed on a five-bucket hunting bow, Li Xin, who was from the second squadron of the former army's left battalion, directly reported his invention to Xiao Xuan in the name of asking for advice. It's just that Li Xin saw that Xiao Xuan's five-bucket bow that had already been installed and could aim and shoot arrows against moving targets in two directions, so he realized that he seemed to have miscalculated a big mistake.

"Holy ... I... I originally thought of an invention, but I didn't think it would be as good as the Holy Week... ”

"Nothing, I can do this only because of the revelation of the heavens, unlike you. If we get along in a different position, maybe I will even have a bit of a head on how to try out the aiming rod in one direction. This time you don't need to worry, as the saying goes, you have no jokes, this time you took the initiative as a soldier to carry out such an invention and innovation, and the effect and significance should not be inferior to the third level of beheading, giving the family a hundred acres of fertile land and a hundred taels of reward, which is the due righteousness. It's just that now your military background is not thick, and you don't have the cockroaches who are in the world. It's just that in two or three years, or three or five years at most, you will definitely be able to get paid for your military exploits. There isn't much skepticism in the ranks about this, right? ”

Li Xin didn't expect Xiao Xuan to be so generous and personally attribute this achievement to himself, and he was somewhat speechless with excitement.

"Okay, let's see how it goes, shall we? If it doesn't work, it still has to be adjusted, maybe in the end, it may be a wish, and many inventions and discoveries are like this... At this time, Xiao Xuan said with a smile.

Around the early morning of the next day, at the school grounds, each battalion selected a first batch of archers who usually shoot actual combat targets and had an average hit score, and began to train in archery with a five-bucket bow with sights, and the entire inside of the sight frame was painted white in order to effectively use this sight in a weak light environment. As long as the light is not too dark, it is still relatively easy to distinguish.

After more than ten days of high-intensity bow and arrow training, under the accumulation of at least 3,000 summaries of actual shots per person in the five bucket bows, the arrows shot out did not have the power to affect aiming at the beginning. From the initial shot of an arrow against a moving target in the dark night, there are less than 30 people who can hit the moving head target in the dim light, and it has gradually improved to a hit rate of at least about 20 percent. Of course, a lot of this depends on luck. If the "sparring partner" in charge of confrontation is too light or has too strong ability to dodge, there are often cases where 30 or even 60 arrows cannot hit the target once.

This time, it was precisely a difficult sparring partner that many people were already familiar with. A middle-aged man who is somewhat familiar to many people, it is said that he once did fast hunting and fought with bandits outside the capital many times. He has a good set of skills in how to dodge bows and arrows and dark night operations, and seeing this person as a sparring partner, the five young archers who are not too good all feel worried.

"Hehe, you guys can just shoot together. The results are counted as one person, and the degree to which I am difficult to hit this target is at least five times that of the average of others, so it shouldn't be too far from the truth, right? ”

"Let's get started! Shoot seriously and dodge seriously. Just move freely in the range of ten to twenty steps! Xiao Xuan ordered.

Hearing this, in fact, after the arrow hit the aiming plate, the middle-aged man who was a little bottomless finally put his heart down. If it is said that dodging arrows at a distance of about five to ten steps is really a bit of a technical job. So the 10 to 20 steps range of free maneuvering? It's possible that all five of these five people will shoot together and not hit one of the fifty arrows, right? The effective range of hunting is this distance, and it has to be that the prey is not prepared for a sneak attack...

However, when the confrontation training began, although the middle-aged man with a few skills held his shield at a distance of about twenty paces and ran back and forth at a very smart pace, dodging the incoming arrows in the most difficult way to hit, it took less than three rounds of arrows to hit the edge of the head shield he was holding in his right hand. Wooden arrows were inserted into the cotton balls outside the cork target.

In the past few days, Xiao Xuan found that even if he used wooden arrow clusters, more than 200 people shot down tens of thousands of times a day, it was also a great test for the carpenters in the palace, and the training cost seemed to be a bit high.

At the beginning, whether it was the selected archers at the median level, the children or the middle-aged man in charge of sparring were just thinking that they were outside, but one after another, each of them had a pot of arrows. Many people did not expect that 150 arrows had a total of 11 hits for such a difficult target, and the hit rate was about 7 percent in this case.

Xiao Xuan also roughly put his mind down at this time: because the archers of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, who were quite said to be hunters in the past, according to their own methods and requirements, hit a lateral moving target at a distance of about twenty paces that such personnel are prepared to operate directly when the light is not very good, and it is only the level of hitting one time with ten to fifteen arrows. In other words: in the case of being willing to invest the capital, the training cost of about four or five taels per person plus the role of the actual target bow and arrow aiming ruler has already made the first batch of children who meet the standards become archers with qualified combat effectiveness. Of course, it is only qualified archers who meet their own requirements on the premise of auxiliary firearms troops. If the opponent wears armor and shields in the front row as in the traditional cold weapon era, the meaning of these five-bucket bows will be greatly reduced. But if that's the case, it's undoubtedly a good target for the field artillery team in your own team.
