Cheng Zhijie once again let people see his stubbornness and scoundrel, which feels like a ruffian.

flickered Xue Wanche nailed his limb horsefoot on his war horse, and then Cheng Zhijie held his war horse and refused to let people nail it, and he was so famous that it hurt when he looked at it, and he was reluctant.

In the face of Cheng Zhijie's rogue behavior, Xue Wanche only dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and Li Yuanji did not say anything.

The three of them rode war horses with great interest and went out of the city with a newly made bow and arrow to test the bow, while Cheng Zhijie once again showed the ugly face that made people want to beat people when they saw it.

"Zhijie, it's almost there, don't go too far." Very reluctantly, Li Yuanji had to stand up to stop Cheng Zhijie's nonsense, he felt like a two-faced person, and he could show different personalities on different occasions, which was very speechless.

"Oh, I Lao Cheng just can't help it, the laughter is low, I can't help it, right?" Cheng Zhijie continued to laugh loudly, while looking at Xue Wanche, who was pale, why is this fool so easy to be fooled?

"Hey!" Li Yuanji sighed helplessly, he didn't want to hit people, but Cheng Zhijie's behavior really made people want to do it, "You must know that thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, it won't take thirty years so long, three days later, you will definitely regret it." ”

"Nonsense, I won't regret it!" Cheng Zhijie patted his chest and abdomen vigorously, and said carelessly, as if he didn't think it was too enjoyable, and continued to add: "Don't use three days, give him ten days, if you can make me regret it after ten days, I will screw off my head and give him a wine jug." ”

"What's that, the head is screwed off and the play is a little big, you might as well do this, if you regret it after ten days, you will give this king and Xue Wanche five hundred yuan each, how about it?" Li Yuanji quickly used his little brain, he can pit a sum of money, the recent expenses are quite large, and the income has not even seen a hair, and if he continues like this, even if he guards a money bank, he will be empty sooner or later.

"What if I don't regret it? The two of you will give me 500 yuan each? "Cheng Zhijie is not stupid, although King Qi's performance made him feel bottomless, but don't forget who I am Lao Cheng, there are only things in this world that I want to regret or not, and there is nothing that can make me regret it, this thousand times I have won.

"That's it!" Li Yuanji smiled in his heart and immediately made a decision.

The effect of the horseshoe is obvious, which has been verified by history and is the result of years of beating.

Before the birth of the horseshoe, the problem of horses has always been a headache for the Central Plains Dynasty, most of the time the war horses are raised, and they are pulled out every once in a while, which is the cavalry, and it is rare to be able to ride the war horse to train every day.

There is no other reason, the Central Plains Dynasty lacked horses, although the Tang Dynasty said that there was no shortage of horses, in fact, it was still very short, and a nation like the Turks was the real one who did not lack horses.

Just like the current Cheng Zhijie, in order to avoid the wear and tear of the horse's hooves, the four hooves of the horse are tied with cloth, which is filled with some soft things, so as to prevent the horse's hooves from having direct contact with the ground or hard road conditions as much as possible, and play a cushioning role.

The effect is obvious, but the wear and tear of the material is very serious, and ordinary cavalrymen can't afford this at all, because it takes too much, and it takes a few months to put the cloth needed for a suit of clothes into it, what is this?

There are test grounds everywhere outside the city, and if he finds a place where no one is around, Cheng Zhijie beckoned the accompanying soldiers to start the test, and in order to have a more direct observation and comparison, Cheng Zhijie asked people to bring two different bows to the test.

The infantry bow is larger, and the cavalry bow is smaller, and the appearance and structure of the two are almost identical, but the power of the infantry bow is greater than that of the cavalry bow, so there is no need to talk about the reason.

The two standard bows and arrows of the Tang Army are compared with the bows and arrows newly created by Li Yuanji.

This bow has a somewhat peculiar appearance, and is very different from the two bows, first of all, the size, this new bow and arrow is slightly smaller than the cavalry bow.

The second is its appearance, the upper and lower ends arc forward, the appearance looks very strange, for this appearance, Cheng Zhijie laughed at Li Yuanji's design along the way.

The advantage is that it is more convenient for cavalry to carry out mounted shooting, which will not affect the normal action, and can be more skillful in action connection and increase the frequency of shooting. The disadvantages are naturally obvious, the bow is small, and the momentum is naturally small, which is common sense.

'Whoosh ......'

'Whoosh ......'

Two sharp arrows roared out with a sound of breaking through the air, and sped towards the target area in the distance in a projectile manner.

There were soldiers who had already made measurements, which were personally requested by Li Yuanji, and the purpose was to get accurate figures, and the distance of the measurement was 300 paces, and a wooden stick was set up every fifty steps to mark it, which was a range that ordinary light bows could not reach at all.

"About one hundred and eighty steps to the bow! Ride a bow at about a hundred and thirty paces! The voice of the soldier in front quickly returned.

Cheng Zhijie always had a thick smile on his face: "This is almost the limit of these two kinds of bows, do you want to go back to the whole bow?" ”

More than a hundred steps is not far, but when thousands of bows and arrows form a barrage, you will realize the horror of bows and arrows on the battlefield.

At such a distance, the cavalry only needed a dozen breaths to rush over, but in the face of a large number of bows and arrows, they could not rush at all, and their eyes were empty, but they were all dead ends, and they could not find any way to live.

"No!" Li Yuanji smiled slightly, jumped off his horse, and said to the soldier: "Bring the bow, this king will personally test the shot." ”

One hundred and eighty steps, but it's just a drizzle, the bow has been made, Li Yuanji is really stupid enough to show off without doing any tests?

After receiving the recurve bow, an arrow was instantly placed on top of the bow and arrow, and the elevation angle of about 45 degrees was raised, easily pulling the bowstring full.

'Whoosh ......'

The sound of breaking the air sounded again, but it was a little more dull than before.

'Buzz ......'

The bowstring was still shaking back and forth, making a buzzing sound.

The smile on Cheng Zhijie's face instantly stiffened, and he looked at the bow and arrow in Li Yuanji's hand with a ghostly expression.

After so many years of fighting, there are hundreds of broken bows, how far each arrow can be shot, from the moment the bow and arrow leave the string, there is basically a base in my heart, listen to the sound, look at the string, these are the two criteria for judging the range of the bow and arrow.

"Two hundred and seventy steps!"

"This ......" Cheng Zhijie opened his mouth wide, nearly a hundred steps more than the arch, and this is still a light riding bow, this?" That's impossible! Bring the bow, the old man will test shoot it himself! ”

Cheng Zhijie used two different bows and arrows in a row to fire ten each, and the farthest of the foot bow reached about two hundred and five steps, which was the limit of this bow.

And the farthest of riding a bow reaches one hundred and sixty paces, which is also the limit.

But this data is still far from the distance launched by Li Yuanji, Cheng Zhijie, who still refused to admit defeat, snatched the recurve bow from Li Yuanji's hand, and fired ten arrows one after another, and the nearest one was two hundred and fifty steps away, and even once ran to destroy the bow, Cheng Zhijie directly hit a distance of nearly three hundred steps.

"Can't believe it?" With a thick smile, Li Yuanji appeared next to Cheng Zhijie at an inopportune time.
