Chapter 222: The First Lesson
When the two slowly ran to the school grounds, there were already three young figures in strong suits waiting at the door. When I got closer, I found that it was Huo Yi, Zhuge Qiao, and Chen Yuan.
Among the three, Zhuge Qiao and Chen Di were called by Jiang Wei to accompany Liu Chan to learn archery and riding, which was also a means for him to stimulate Liu Chan's interest in learning.
Through two days of observation, he found that Liu Chan's ability to read was far inferior to Zhuge Qiao, and it was also quite inferior to Chen Yuan.
In class, the teacher always praised Zhuge Qiao and kept telling Liu Chan to learn from Zhuge Qiao.
Liu Chan replied respectfully every time and was very well-behaved.
But Jiang Wei knew that a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy was just when his blood was strong, how could he not have a little competitiveness in his belly?
Then, the best way to motivate Liu Chan to learn archery and horseback riding is to make him feel that he has a chance to be stronger than Zhuge Qiao and Chen Yuan, and then produce the pleasure of raising his eyebrows.
Jiang Wei once talked to Zhuge Qiao and Chen Yuan, and learned that neither of them had experience in martial arts; And Liu Chan has a certain shallow foundation in horseback riding and archery, and if he really wants to practice, the speed of getting started must be faster than the two of them.
In this way, he will gradually build confidence in the competition with Zhuge Qiao and Chen Yuan, and a sense of accomplishment will also arise spontaneously-
It's probably the thought that "the face lost in the classroom should be recovered in the school field".
So in Jiang Wei's opinion, asking the two of them to accompany Liu Chan to learn martial arts is the best incentive.
Moreover, they are Liu Chan's companions, and there is no room for refusal at all.
But Huo Yi had some uninvited meaning.
But seeing that Huo Yi's face was full of longing, he hugged his fists and said: "Brother is strong in martial arts, please allow Yi to follow and ask for advice, and hope to be successful." ”
Jiang Wei had the heart to see what he was capable of, and he didn't refuse, his footsteps didn't stop, swept everyone on the field, and shouted: "Keep up." Liu Chan is finally a teenager's heart, and when he saw his companions joining at this moment, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and pulled the three of them to run to the school together.
It was not yet dawn, and there was no one on the school ground, only five figures of different heights were running hard.
There are about 300 steps in a circle of the school field.
After only three or five laps, Liu Chan, Zhuge Qiao, and Chen Yuan were already out of breath and sweating profusely; And Huo Yi is a son of the martial arts family after all, he is still out of breath and his face is not red, and he obviously has spare strength.
Jiang Wei saw that Liu Chan, Zhuge Qiao, and Chen Di were all very weak, and he knew that enhancing their physique should be gradual and could not be achieved overnight, so he asked the three of them to walk slowly.
Liu Chan, Zhuge Qiao, and Chen Yuan were already overwhelmed, and they all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and walked slowly around after a while.
After their breath barely calmed down, Jiang Wei led them to the archery range.
But he had different requirements for Huo Yi, the future star, and only ordered him to finish ten laps and then assemble.
******
When the four of them arrived, Chen Cao and Zheng Sui had already set up a bow stand on the left side of the shooting range, on which several bows and arrows of different strengths were hung; There is a white line drawn next to the bow frame, and thirty, fifty, and one hundred steps before the white line, there is a target in each place.
Jiang Wei remembered that during the autumn hunt last year, Liu Chan made a three-bucket bow, and now he is a year older, and his height and volume have grown a lot, so he chose a five-bucket short bow and handed it to him; He also estimated the figures of Zhuge Qiao and Chen Di, and chose a six-bucket short bow for each of them.
The three of them stood with bows, and Jiang Wei first carefully instructed them on the skills of holding bows and arrows.
Liu Chanben has some foundation, and he recalls it with a little guidance.
Although Zhuge Qiao and Chen Di learned from scratch, they were fortunate to be talented, and after practicing for a while, they were able to initially remember the basic movements of drawing the bow.
Jiang Wei asked the three of them to pull the bow twelve times, and after an interval of 100 breaths, they pulled another twelve times, until they did five sets.
Practicing the strength of the arm is the basis for learning archery, and there is no way to trick it.
Liu Chan practiced for a long time, although he only pulled the short bow of five buckets, and his arm was already weak.
He turned sideways to look at Zhuge Qiao and Chen Yuan, but saw that the two of them were also sweating, their faces were flushed, and they looked like they were stubborn.
Seeing this, he felt a trace of pride in his heart, and said in his heart: "These two guys are actually inferior to me!" ”
With a joy in his heart, his competitive heart suddenly rose, Liu Chan took a deep breath and concentrated on drawing the bow again.
After all, the body bones of the three of them are slightly weak, and the foundation is thin, and after intermittently pulling these five groups, they are already red in the face and red in their ears, panting like a cow. Jiang Wei asked them to shake their arms and move their muscles and bones.
At this time, Huo Yi was sweating profusely and returned from running.
Jiang Wei wanted to see his skills, so he asked him to choose his usual longbow and test it.
Huo Yi weighed it, chose an eight-bucket bow, stepped to the front of the white line, took the bow and pulled the string, and after aiming carefully, the arrow shot out suddenly, "whoosh", and hit the red heart on the target fifty steps away.
For a sixteen-year-old boy, this arrow is very valuable.
Jiang Wei slowly bowed his head, stepped forward and patted Huo Yi's shoulder, and said, "Yes, Shaoxian's archery is clean and neat, which shows that he has worked hard." ”
When Huo Yi heard this, he was about to be modest, when he suddenly heard Jiang Wei's words turn around, and said:
"However, as the son of a general, you can't be satisfied with what you are looking for. From today onwards, you will start to use a one-stone strong bow to target an arrow target a hundred paces away, understand? ”
Huo Yi could hear the expectation implied in these words, and he gradually put away his smile and nodded solemnly.
At this time, Chen Yuan, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly said: "I heard that the rate is a miracle shot, can you show your hand and let me wait to open my eyes?" ”
His words immediately aroused everyone on the field to commits repeatedly.
"Rate more to shoot one!"
Jiang Wei smiled, and did not shirk, he directly took out a customary two-stone longbow, and suddenly used force with both arms, pulling the hard bow like a full moon, which immediately attracted a burst of cheers and applause.
After finding his senses, he drew an arrow from the quiver, took a rough look at the arrow target a hundred paces away in front of him, took a deep breath, and pulled the bow to loosen the string.
The arrow carries the wind with the momentum, whistling away, only to hear a "poof" sound, the arrow is nailed to the bullseye a hundred steps away, because the strength is too strong, the tail of the arrow from the "buzzing" trembling more than once, a hundred steps away, can also be clearly heard.
This hand suddenly shook everyone on the field, and even Huo Yi's eyes lit up; Liu Chan applauded loudly, forgetting that Fang Cai was still complaining.
Everyone around him was full of worship, but for some reason, Jiang Weishu didn't feel the slightest bit proud, and his heart suddenly remembered the arrow that Jinfan Ganning shot at Guan Xing at the beginning of the Yiling War.
That arrow was powerful, as fast as lightning, like a meteor outside the sky, it was simply unavoidable, it was an arrow that he couldn't shoot anyway.
"It is rumored that the old general Huang Zhong is like a god in archery, and he has the ability to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps, and I don't know if he has this ability."
Thinking of Huang Zhong, Jiang Wei couldn't help but look at Huo Yi, and said in his heart, Huo Yi has a solid foundation in archery, and he is young, maybe he can please General Huang.
With Jiang Wei and Huo Yi performing in front, and Zhuge Qiao and Chen Yuan in the back, Liu Chan's enthusiasm for learning arrows was very high, and he practiced hard all morning, without the slightest slack.
After Jiang Wei pointed out the archery posture and aiming skills of the three of them, he asked them to take turns shooting at the arrow target thirty paces away.
Liu Chan finally had a little foundation, and when he shot ten arrows, there were always two or three arrows that could hit.
Zhuge Qiao and Chen Di were very unbearable because they had no foundation, shooting ten arrows, and often nine arrows missed, and only one arrow only grazed the target.
This made Liu Chan feel the pleasure of being a winner, and he finally had a chance to win back a city, even if he was tired and sweating profusely, he gritted his teeth and tried his best to persevere.
Jiang Wei knows this and is happy to see it happen.
On this side, Huo Yi had already begun to practice pulling a strong bow with one stone. Looking at his hard-working appearance, Jiang Wei believed that in time, this son's archery skills would definitely be successful.
A hard morning was spent in the practice of basic archery skills.
The whole morning's exercise consumed a lot, which led to a large increase in the amount of food for several people, and Liu Chan, who has always been a picky eater, did not refuse to come, and ate the vegetables on the table cleanly.
Qu Shi, the eunuch who was serving on the side, was very happy, and said in his heart, sure enough, General Jiang has a way.
In the afternoon, Jiang Wei deliberately set aside an hour for a lunch break. After the lunch break, he led everyone to the horse farm and began to teach the first equestrian lesson.
Liu Chan has grown a lot, and it stands to reason that he can ride an adult horse, but the eunuch who served him still prepared a docile pony for him.
Seeing this, Jiang Wei frowned. Riding such a horse can only be said to be a ride, and it is impossible to learn riding systematically at all, so I ask for a change of horse.
Although Qu Shi was a little worried, he couldn't stand his repeated insistence, and finally exchanged for a docile adult horse, but the worry between his eyebrows could no longer be hidden.
However, it was said that Liu Chan suddenly rode on a strange horse, and suddenly he was in chaos, his whole body was stiff, and he had already forgotten the essentials of holding the reins and bowing his back, let alone controlling the horse's walking and turning.
Ordinary teenagers learn to ride horses, that is, they have the courage to ponder on horseback, and they can't be afraid of falling, and they will learn to fall a few more times.
But Liu Chan's identity is special, Jiang Wei didn't dare to let him take risks, thought about it, and hung a rope next to the horse's mouth, and he personally led the horse within a radius of ten zhang, and walked around him with him as the center.
He shook the whip in his hand again to control the pace and speed of the horse.
In this way, Liu Chan on horseback can concentrate on his posture and movements, but in half an hour, he has mastered the correct riding posture.
Horseback riding is no more fun than boring archery.
When Liu Chan broke free from Jiang Wei's control and rode such a big horse around the racecourse for the first time, he was so happy that he danced and refused to come down.
Zhuge Qiao and Chen Yuan were not treated as well as him, so they naturally had to eat a few bites of mud, sand and stones.
******
A day passed, and it was dinner time in a blink of an eye.
This also means that Jiang Wei carefully prepared the first class and ended successfully.
Liu Chan was full of interest, and he was still unsatisfied, so he only held his hand and didn't let him leave.
