Chapter 7: Little Red and Little Green

In ancient times, two bows and arrows produced by the same bow master would definitely have different ranges, which is the disadvantage that there is no standard.

There is no weakness when used alone, but when the two armies are facing each other, their weaknesses are very obvious, and it is basically difficult to achieve a divisional strike, just because the range is not standardized.

Of course, accurate range requires the help of other aspects, not just the bow itself. For example, the elevation angle of shooting, the strength of the bow, the specification of the arrow, and so on.

Yang Wenli understands the key to this, of course, from the beginning of the bow making to standardize the steps, such as the use of a uniform mold.

It is best to use prepared miscellaneous wood, which is not easy to deform, and it is a standard measuring tool in itself, and it is definitely not good if it is deformed by itself.

The purpose of using the mold is to standardize the length, width, thickness and other scales of the bow body to achieve the purpose of unifying the range.

A good bow and arrow, the bow body is not completely symmetrical. There is a handshake part in the middle, so the other side of the arrow groove must be asymmetrical, and this part has a lot of modern diagrams, so Yang Wenli knows it well.

The arrow groove is actually the middle of the whole bow and arrow, which is the part that regulates the firing of arrows, which is very important, and it is also an important part of the bow and arrow's accuracy, simple but very important.

The compound bow is also a type of recurve bow, so the bow must be trained, it has several bends in opposite directions, and special molds are required to regulate its bends.

Bow training is the most time-consuming, can not be achieved overnight, otherwise it will damage the bow body, this time is about more than a month, therefore, Yang Wenli took ten teenagers to make bows and train bows in addition to high-intensity training, there is a unified mold, so every teenager can make their own bows, not afraid of unqualified situations.

……

"Yang Renhuang, your slashing range is too large, you found that no, your slashing time is almost twice as long as others, this is on the battlefield, you have died several times.

Also, you don't slash hard enough, you don't have the concentration to slash with all your strength, so it's not fast enough. Be fast, be fast to the peak, and strive to kill the enemy with one move.

On the battlefield, you actually have a hard time slashing and if you go defensive, you'll often get tired until you're killed by the enemy.

Therefore, on the battlefield you are usually at the risk of your life, you can't defend, or rather non-lethal attacks, you have to ignore them and concentrate on chopping. ”

In addition to practicing by himself, Yang Wenli has to constantly correct the mistakes of his subordinates, his requirements are very high, even if the teenagers train so hard, they still can't meet his requirements. Because he himself leads by example, suffers the most, and achieves the best, the young men under him are far inferior to him in terms of strength and speed.

According to legend, the master's moves, often a move to kill the enemy, in fact, is fast, the world's martial arts are only fast and not broken, but the move is not very useful, this is the truth of the road to simplicity.

"Young master, it's time to eat." In the distance, the sound of Yahuan Xiaohong shouting for dinner was heard.

Yang Wenli chose a flat open space in the back mountain and took the teenagers to repair it for martial arts training. There are trees to hide, so you are not afraid of being discovered by outsiders.

Of course, he was also too careful, Maoshan Chong is not a place to pass, but a very remote mountainous area, as long as the Yang family pays enough imperial grain every year, no one comes here at all.

Backed by the Yangtze River, far away from the Dabie Mountains, the bandits are extinct, and it is a natural paradise, so Yang Wenli has been able to train his subordinates with peace of mind in recent years.

said that it was a paradise, but it was relative to the Yang family, and if it was replaced by a small landlord who only relied on farming, he would have been crushed by heavy taxes and bankrupt. The ancestors of the Yang family were businessmen, and although they had little land, they had a lot of money, and there was no pressure to cope with the agricultural tax increase.

Yahuan Xiaohong was bought back in the past few years, and after a few years, Yang Wenli gradually grew into a strong man, and his two younger sisters were also married, and the old lady had no one to take care of, so Yang Wenli asked his mother to buy two. She usually takes care of the old lady and is also responsible for the housework at home.

There is also a girl ring called Xiao Green, at that time, the status of women was already low, and it was even lower as a girl ring, so there was no name, only simple nicknames like Xiao Hong and Xiao Green.

The two of them were bought from the state city, and only in the city can they buy literate and musical maids, some of these maidservants are trained in special institutions, such as the teaching department, brothels, etc., and some are originally young ladies and ladies of large families, and they are used as slaves because of their downs or breaking the law.

Xiaohong Xiaolu used to be the maid of a large family, but she was literate and happy, because the party fought for the main family was slaughtered, they were maidservants, so they were sold by the government, and after several transfers, they were bought by the Yang family.

When they came here, they lived a heavenly life, the food of the Yang family was so good, they were inseparable from the fish and meat, and they had three meals a day, and they did not distinguish between the lord and the inferior, and the subordinates also ate the same meals. This is mainly because Yang Wenli was bent on fish and meat, so he didn't share the meal, and they also begged for money.

If it is really a big family, as subordinates, they will never be able to eat such a good meal, at most they will eat some leftover cold rice left by the master, this is still the treatment of the subordinates, and it would be good for the other subordinates to be full.

……

"Bang Bang!" Yang Wenli clapped his palms and said loudly: "Take a break for a while, let's eat." ”

These teenagers are all practicing alone, and they can't practice for the time being, because of the lack of armor, Yang Wenli is thinking of a way, and he plans to make rattan armor.

The rattan armor is easy to take, there are everywhere on the mountain, and the protection ability is relatively high, if it is soaked in tung oil, and then a few layers of paint are soaked, it is not much worse than steel armor.

"Young master, the bow body is almost trained, when will it be able to make a complete bow and arrow? I want to practice archery as soon as possible, and then we can go hunting in the mountains. ”

On the way home, the youngest Yang Renyue innocently asked Yang Wenli.

"It's not that easy, bow training is only the first step, there are many tedious steps to follow, and it will take several months to succeed." Yang Wenli replied as he walked.

He stayed with the teenagers for many years, and often told them some deeds of ancient famous generals to motivate them to practice hard. Among them, the deeds of the archers are the most talked, so the teenagers can't wait to learn arrows as soon as possible, hoping that one day they will also be a sharpshooter with no arrows.

"Li'er, what's the use of you practicing all day long, and you don't invite famous teachers? I don't think it's better for you to take them to do more farm work, otherwise we will be eaten up by you sooner or later. The old lady couldn't help but babble when she saw the table full of chicken and fish.

"Mother, you're wrong, the world is about to be in chaos, and it will be very rare to be able to save your life at that time, so what's the use of having more family property? It will only attract more bandits.

Although you can rest assured, my son and I have a sense of proportion, and I promise to carry forward our Yang family, but the premise is that I have to save my life first. Yang Wenli talked about the same old tune and talked about the chaos in the world. According to the current development of the current situation, it is still very convincing, so the old lady was once again persuaded by him.
