Chapter 316: Comparing Arrows

Jin Liang smiled at Tai Shi Ci and asked, "Ziyi, how should we compare arrows this time?" ”

Tai Shi Ci arched his hand and smiled: "It's all up to the lord." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Jin Liang thought for a moment. He said: "That's it, two wins in three games, and we will each come up with a question." The last topic is Liu Zizhi. ”

Tai Shi Ci naturally agreed, and Liu Zheng and Liu Zizhi also knew how to ride and shoot, but they were not as powerful as Tai Shi Ci. He had to dig out his mind and come up with a competition question that would allow him to determine who was more skilled in archery.

Jin Liang asked Tai Shi Ci to ask the question first, and Tai Shi Ci pointed to the three arrow targets evenly placed one hundred and twenty steps away and said: "The fast horse gallops over a hundred paces away, shoots sideways at these three arrow targets, the horse must not exceed ten breaths in a hundred steps, whoever hits the target with more arrows will win." ”

Jin Liang took a look at it and found that this topic was very interesting, and it could examine several aspects of the generals.

One is riding. If you don't have good riding skills, not only will your archery be unstable, you won't be able to shoot at the target, and you won't even be able to complete a hundred steps within ten breaths.

One is the accuracy of archery, which is naturally the core requirement of archery, and under normal circumstances, you must hit the red heart of the target, because it is one hundred and twenty steps away. It's shooting on the side of a horse again, so Tai Shi Ci's question doesn't emphasize that he must shoot the target's red heart, even if he hits the edge of the target, it is considered to be passable, but for confident archery masters like Jin Liang and Tai Shi Ci, it is necessary to shoot the red heart.

One is the strength of archery. Ordinary manpower is insufficient, can't pull away the hard bow, let alone shoot a target of one hundred and twenty steps, I am afraid that a poplar tree that a person can't wrap around a hundred steps away can't shoot, because the bow is too soft and the arrow power is too poor, and it falls down halfway, Tai Shici proposed one hundred and twenty steps, naturally he is his own people, he feels that he can do it, presumably the world-famous flying general Jin Liang can also do it, and in fact, the entire Han can shoot arrows more than a hundred steps and hit the target There are no more than fifty generals.

At this time, take one foot for the step, take the two feet is the step, the step is the step of the later generations, the current 1 step is actually the next 2 steps, five feet for the step, one step is equal to five feet, and the Han Dynasty one foot is about 21.3 to 23.7 centimeters of the later generations, take the average value, one foot is equivalent to 22 centimeters, one step is about 1.1 meters in the later generations.

One is the speed of pulling the bow and releasing the arrow, which is also the focus of archery training, if you can send out one more arrow feather than the opponent in the same time, you can lock the victory.

Jin Liang found that this competition topic could be popularized to consider the comprehensive ability of the soldiers in riding and archery, so he happily ordered Huang Zhong to write down this topic and leave it for the competition topic in the future military competition.

He rode a white horse, slipped away outside the field for a while, and then galloped over, swishing, on the red heart of the three arrow targets, hit five arrow feathers, only one arrow feather slightly deviated from the red heart, on the edge of the target.

Tai Shi Ci's face was calm, but Huang Zhong glanced at Tai Shi Ci with impressive eyes, because Huang Zhong judged with his more than 20 years of experience in archery, if he was on the field, he would not be able to hit all six arrows on the target.

It was Jin Liang's turn to play, he flew on the red rabbit horse, because he had a tacit understanding with the red rabbit horse, so Jin Liang didn't need to walk the horse in advance, he rode the horse to the beginning of the hundred paces distance, and began to gallop the horse, between six breaths, a hundred steps have passed.

The red rabbit horse flew in front of the eyes of the soldiers of the three armies like a red lightning, and the onlookers could not see the posture of Jin Liang opening his bow and releasing arrows at all, but they had already heard the bowstring sound like a thunderbolt, and the swishing sound of the arrow feather hitting the red heart of the target.

The soldiers of the three armies on the school field cheered thunderously, and it turned out that the three arrow targets were hit by three arrows on each target, and each arrow was hit by the red heart.

Tai Shi Ci couldn't help but be dumbfounded, he originally thought that his archery skills had reached the point where he couldn't improve, but he didn't expect that there were really people outside the sky, and it seemed that his archery skills still had a lot to improve.

It was Jin Liang's turn to come up with the topic, he couldn't help but think of his legend of the Yuanmen Halberd Shooting in that period of history, thinking that in the current time and space, because his power has grown to such an extent, there is no need to mediate for any two forces, and there is no need to engage in the Yuanmen Halberd Shooting Strike, but the Yuanmen Halberd Shooting can be used for competition.

Jin Liang ordered someone to put the stone dragon broadsword one hundred and fifty steps away, and asked Tai Shi Ci with a smile: "Ziyi, can you see the small branches on the halberd?" ”

Tai Shi Ci narrowed his eyes and said, "Lord, the last general will be able to see it." ”

Jin Liang said with a smile: "Let's shoot the small branch of the halberd, each person shoots ten arrows, and the one who hits the most wins!" ”

Jin Liang's topic is naturally Jin Liang's first. Everyone thought that Jin Liang was going to get off his horse and stand on the flat ground to shoot, because then the arrow could be shot smoothly, but Jin Liang still sat firmly on the red rabbit horse, rolled up the sleeves of his robe, put on the arrow, and pulled the bow full, the arrow was slightly downward, Jin Liang broke off and said: "Go! The bow opened like the autumn moon in the sky, the arrow went like a meteor landing, an arrow was in the middle of the halberd branch, and the central soldiers on the school field cheered in unison, and even Huang Zhong and Tai Shici couldn't help but applaud.

In this way, Jin Liang shot ten feather arrows, all of which hit the small branch of the halberd.

It was Tai Shici's turn, his originally relaxed expression began to be solemn, he rode on the white horse with a bow and arrows and took a look, maybe it was not very tacit with the white horse under the crotch, the white horse was a little trembling beside the red rabbit horse, the slight tremor seriously affected Tai Shici's play, he had to jump off the horse and stand on the flat ground.

Tai Shi Ci's upper body is straight, his legs are bowed into an arrow posture, the bow is bent like a full moon, the right hand holding the bow is as hard as iron, the left eye is slightly closed, the left hand is loose, the arrow is like a meteor, clanging, the middle of the halberd branch, a series of six arrows, each arrow must hit, Tai Shi Ci is not willing to this, continue to open the bow and take the arrow, but he has consumed part of his energy when he focuses on shooting the first six arrow feathers, so that his spirit can not continue to be so focused, the next four arrows all passed by, did not shoot the small branch.

Tai Shi Ci lost both battles, it seems that he lost face in front of thousands of troops, but in fact, the officers and soldiers of the Central Army present all looked at Tai Shi Ci with reverence, because among the hundreds of thousands of Central Army, only Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Zhang Jaw, Wei Yan, Zhang Liao, Cao Xing, Ju Yi and a few other people, such as Dian Wei, Wang Yue, Pan Feng, Wu Anguo and most of the generals could not appear at all, Tai Shi Ci's archery should be on a par with Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, and in Xu Huang, Zhang Jaw, Wei Yan, Zhang Liao, Cao Xing, and Ju Yi.

Tai Shi Ci lost to Jin Liang, and he was so convinced that he bowed down and smiled: "The Lord is a god of arrows, and the last general is ashamed." ”

Jin Liang shook his head with a smile and said: "The school competition is all about shooting dead things that can't be dodged, and the ones who shoot on the battlefield are all enemy soldiers and horses who are racing and changing. ”

Huang Zhong said with a smile on the side: "Lord, why don't we go hunting, you can compete with Ziyi to see who shoots more prey." ”

Jin Liang was about to nod, but Cui Yan persuaded on the side: "Lord, at this time, there are many pregnant animals in the wild, if you go hunting, you will hurt the mother beast, one arrow and two lives, it is against the harmony of the sky, it is better to wait for the autumn to be cool before hunting." ”

Jin Liang nodded and approved: "Ji Jue's words are reasonable, then let's stop the discussion of hunting." ”

Jin Liang turned around and asked Liu Zhengdao: "Zizhi, have you thought about the topic of our third round of arrows?" ”

Liu Zheng said with a smile: "Lord, if you want to shoot a living thing in a competition with Ziyi, you can replace it with a flying thing." ”

Jin Liang frowned slightly and said, "What is a flying thing?" ”

Liu Zheng smiled slightly and said: "You can order a person who is good at archery to shoot arrow feathers, and the lord and Ziyi will shoot the arrow feathers in front of them from the side, and whoever can shoot down the previous arrow will be considered a victory." ”

If it is said that shooting people, horses, birds, and cunning rabbits is commonplace, but this comparison of shooting arrows with arrows is really the first time, Jin Liang suddenly became interested, looked at Tai Shici and said: "Ziyi, let's play again." Tai Shi Ci said with a smile: "The lord is interested, and the general is willing to accompany him." ”

Jin Liang looked at Huang Zhong and said, "Hansheng, I'm sorry for you to shoot that arrow." Huang Zhong also said with great interest: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Huang Zhong rushed out of his horse, stretched his bow and set up arrows, and shot at the three targets just now, the arrows were like meteors, and the three arrows were all hit by the target's red heart, obviously, Tai Shi Ci didn't hit a single arrow, otherwise the three arrows would have been knocked into the dust by Tai Shi Ci's arrows.

The soldiers present only saw that the arrow feather shot by Tai Shi Ci did not touch the arrow feather shot by Huang Zhong, and fell to the ground, they couldn't see why, because the arrow shot by Huang Zhong and the arrow shot by Tai Shi Ci were as fast as meteors, and ordinary people's eyes could not see the trajectory of the arrow feather at all.

Jin Liang could see clearly, at the moment when Tai Shi Ci opened his bow and shot an arrow from one side to Huang Zhong's arrow feather, Jin Liang found that Tai Shi Ci originally opened the bow, and the bow was like a full moon, but he watched Huang Zhong shoot the arrow feather before he started to release the arrow, when Tai Shi Ci's arrow feather shot Huang Zhong's arrow feather track, Huang Zhong's arrow had already passed, and the arrow of the arrow feather shot by Tai Shi Ci did not even touch the tail of Huang Zhong's arrow feather.

Jin Liang knew the reason why Tai Shici's three arrows missed, and he knew in his heart that he couldn't wait for Huang Zhong's arrows to shoot out before he started shooting, he had to have an overall consideration and calculation of Huang Zhong's arrow speed, his own arrow speed, and the distance between them, and at the same time, he had to try to let himself shoot arrows at the same time as Huang Zhong.

Jin Liang's eyes narrowed, he saw that the imitation Yang Youji bow in Huang Zhong's palm had been pulled into a full moon shape, Jin Liang had also pulled the overlord bow into a full moon shape, Huang Zhong's wrist had a slight tremor, Jin Liang no longer stared at Huang Zhong, but shot an arrow feather steadily.

With a bang, the arrow feather shot by Jin Liang knocked Huang Zhong's arrow away, and the two arrow feathers fell to the ground together.

Huang Zhong was not in a hurry, picked up another arrow feather, launched it, and with a bang, he was shot by Jin Liang's arrow feather and fell to the ground.

By the third time, Huang Zhong skillfully shot an arrow feather with a slightly arcing trajectory, but was still hit by Jin Liang's arrow feather.

The three arrows shot by Huang Zhong were all shot down by Jin Liang. Huang Zhong's face was not a little ashamed, but a look of joy, because Huang Zhong had been in a high position in the army for several months. I already know some tricks about being an official, and one of the very important principles is that if you don't know how to slip around. What can be done is not to embarrass the boss, if you shoot these three arrows, the lord can't shoot them down, and he can't get off the stage in front of so many people, even if the lord is magnanimous, there will be other generals who are loyal to the lord who hate him and hinder his official career, and now this result is really happy.

It's the same as Huang Zhong's happy mood. The officers and soldiers of the Central Army in the school field were all impressed by Jin Liang's miraculous archery skills, and they all cheered loudly, praising their lord in unison, who really deserved to be the unparalleled arrow god in the world.

After three games, Tai Shici was completely defeated, and he should have been depressed, but the expression on his face was not frustrated at all. Because he feels that he is still an unknown junior, defeated in the hands of Jin Liang, who is famous all over the world and is unparalleled in China, not only is it not a shame, but a glory, you must know how many generals in the world want to improve their martial arts realm by challenging Jin Liang but have no chance. He just came to Jin Liang and had such an opportunity, and it was too late for him to cherish it.

The current Tai Shi Ci, after all, is not the Tai Shi Ci who resisted Guan Hai's thousands of miles of rescue troops, fought with Sun Ce in the Divine Pavilion, and then led Liu Xuan's remnants to deal with Sun Ce for several months, now he is almost a nobody, except for the fact that he has a reputation for fooling the state officials, and can be recognized by the unparalleled Jin Liang, Tai Shi Ci is grateful in his heart.

Tai Shi Ci benefited a lot from the comparison of arrows just now, and his archery skills were raised to a higher level in the following days.

Liu Zheng, who was by Tai Shici's side, also benefited a lot, and his archery skills also improved greatly, but he was more inclined to the area of Wenzhi, not a general's talent, and archery was more for him to protect himself.

This competition is also of great significance to Huang Zhong, he more fully understands what Jin Liang said to Cao Xing before, and learns more from masters, regardless of success or failure, it is a rare improvement to his martial arts realm.

When it comes to Huang Zhong's realm, it is difficult to improve one step further, but Huang Zhong has seen Jin Liang's continuous improvement and progress in the past few months, and Huang Zhong thought to himself that even a peerless God of War level general like the Lord Gong can go one step further, why can't I.

Jin Liang's pursuit of excellence in his own skills is a great spiritual encouragement to all the officers and men of the Central Army, whose personal skills have been continuously improved in the following days, and they have become more active and hard in training, because they have a glorious and great example of learning, which inspires them at all times to make further progress.

Out of the school, Jin Liang smiled and asked Tai Shici: "Ziyi, have you brought people before?" ”

Tai Shici said with a stunned face: "Lord, the last general was only a Donglai county official before, and he never led troops. ”

Jin Lianglang laughed loudly: "Ziyi, don't be ashamed of yourself, like the current senior generals of our Central Army, Xu Huang, Han Hao, and Man Chong were originally county officials, but they are now all talents who are in charge of their own affairs, of course, Han Hao and Man Chong are Confucian generals." Ziyi, let's do it, you first enter our Central Army Teaching Brigade as a battalion commander, and you join the teaching brigade as a battalion battalion to join the army, and two months later, you will go to the Qingzhou Corps, and you will all be promoted to a level and become a brigade commander and brigade to join the army. I hope that after you arrive in the Qingzhou Corps, you will be able to make more meritorious achievements and be promoted to the commander of the division and join the army as soon as possible. ”

A month ago, Jin Liang felt that the teaching brigade and the Xuanfu brigade had the same direction of teaching and training in many aspects, and that the basic officer training team had been set up into two brigades too much, which had weakened the combat strength of the Guards Division, so Jin Liang merged the teaching brigade and the Xuanfu brigade into one brigade, abolished all auxiliary troops, and made these grassroots officers have to endure more hardships than ordinary officers and soldiers from the beginning.

When Tai Shici and Liu Zheng stayed in the Zhaoxian Pavilion in the past few days, they already had a clear understanding of the various systems of the Central Army, and they knew that Jin Liang had set up a teaching brigade in the army to train commanders and join the army for combat units at all levels of brigades, battalions, teams, two levels, and armies, which was a very complete officer training system, which was much superior to the military systems of all other princes in this era.

As soon as Tai Shi Ci and Liu Zheng joined the Central Army to serve Jin Liang, they were appointed by Jin Liang as the battalion commander who commanded 500 people, and the battalion joined the army and commanded a brigade of 4,000 men and horses two months later, and Jin Liang also encouraged them to make more meritorious contributions to be promoted to the commander of the division who commanded 20,000 horses alone.

Tai Shici and Liu Zheng received the letter of appointment signed by Jin Liang in person, went to the Military Affairs Yuan for the record, and then went to the garrison of the Guards Division to report and not mention it. (To be continued.) )
