Chapter 61: The Art of Marksmanship
After Liu Xie returned to the barracks with the two great gods, he suspended the selection of military horses, and instead asked the new 50,000 troops to start tomorrow, like the original 100,000 army, to produce new officers.
And these days, Dian Wei and Xu Chu are leading hundreds of men and horses respectively, selecting elites in the whole army, and forming the Xuanjia Battalion and the Modao Battalion.
Xu Feng, the scar-faced Divine Arm Captain, has already selected three thousand Divine Marksmen in the whole army to face the Saint, all of them can accurately shoot at a moving target a hundred steps away, the use of bows and crossbows is extremely skillful, and many people can even gallop and shoot immediately, Liu Xie gave this army the name: Divine Arm Battalion.
"Thank you Your Majesty for the name, the last general will take 3,000 soldiers, and I will swear to fight for the saint!"
"Fight for Your Majesty! Die for the Holy! ”
Three thousand shooters knelt down in unison and chanted the slogan of death battle!
Xu Feng in front of him was surging with emotion, and a long scar on his face turned red because of excitement, looking extremely hideous.
The Son of Heaven was calm, calmly and calmly lifted Scarface's face and said: "In the future, the safety of my position of a hundred steps will be handed over to the hands of the Divine Arm Battalion!" ”
"My sharpshooters, get up!"
"Up and down the camp of the divine arm, you will get the grace of the saint, and you can only repay it by dying!"
The three thousand soldiers beat their chests and lined them up neatly, impassioned and passionate!
Looking at Xu Feng who was excited on the side, Liu Xie had no doubts about his death report!
My exceptional promotion, or the act of buying horse bones, made Xu Feng the fourth biggest celebrity in the Xiliang Army after Dong Cheng, Cai Yong, and Li Dao.
Happiness came so suddenly that he couldn't believe it and didn't dare to accept it!
When he accepts all this, it is time to hold on to happiness and not let it be lost!
After taking a few steps forward, Liu Xie came to the front of the three thousand archers, and said with a focused expression: "Soldiers." You're good at archery now, but I don't think you're up to the name of marksmanship! ”
"Buzz~~~"
Three thousand shooters listened to the words of the Son of Heaven. They are the proudest of all the people in their hearts. It's the longbow in your hand!
"My soldiers, don't be in a hurry, listen to me!"
"The so-called marksman, such as the first marksman in the Spring and Autumn Period, Yang Yuji, nicknamed Yang Yiji, can wear Yang in a hundred steps; Another example is the flying general Li Guang, who went out to hunt and saw a stone in the grass, thinking that he would shoot a tiger. There is no arrow in the stone, and it can be arrowed into the stone tiger, and it deserves the name of the flying general. ”
"My soldiers, in all fairness, do you have this magic marksmanship?"
"Your Majesty, we are just soldiers, how dare we compare with General Fei!" A tall soldier at the front mustered up the courage to look straight at the Son of Heaven and said.
When Liu Xie heard this, the smile on his face was put away, and he walked solemnly towards the tall man.
Under the very serious face of the Son of Heaven. The soldier's courage had probably been lost, and his heart trembled with his head bowed.
At this time, Liu Xie's face was cold and hard, as if it was made of steel.
"Look up! Chest! Tummy tucked! ”
The Son of Heaven shouted three times. Immediately let the big tall man recover from a slight malaise.
Not only the tall man, but also the three thousand soldiers, their expressions became solemn.
"The black hair doesn't know how to study early, and the white head regrets practicing late!"
The steady and majestic voice of the young man spread out, and the soldiers were shocked when they heard this.
Some of the soldiers nearby who watched the excitement seemed to see the unusual, and ordered them to gather on the periphery and listen to the words of the Son of Heaven.
"The so-called sword edge comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. As long as you are willing to train hard. Why can't you practice the art of marksmanship! ”
"If you want to achieve great things, you must first have the spirit of Yugong moving mountains! Facing difficulties. It's like facing a cliff. You go all the way to see it! I can't see a crack in a hundred years, but if you chisel with an axe. You have to go in inch by inch, you have to go into a foot is a foot, day by day, the leap will come, and the breakthrough will follow. ”
"Where there is a will, there is a way, the cauldron is broken, and the one hundred and two Qin passes belong to Chu after all; The hard-working people live up to the sky, lie on the salary and taste the gall, and the three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu.! ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!!"
Whether it is the 3,000 shooters in front of the Son of Heaven or the soldiers on the periphery, after listening to what the Son of Heaven said, they all speak loudly!
Many times, people's lives are hovering between despair and hope, and everyone who lives will set a goal for themselves, whether it is vulgar or noble. People will walk along the road, and there will be sunshine and haze in between.
Most of the soldiers, some of them were voluntary, and some of them were forced to join the army, and they took a little money and food, so that they could make some war money, and after they were discharged from the army, they could return to their hometowns to marry wives and have children, and enjoy the rest of their lives.
Most of them don't have any big ambitions, and a lot of the time they follow the crowd and like to follow the trend!
The chief took the lead, and they followed!
When the boss leads*, they follow!
Heaven ordered slaughter, and they did it!
They rarely have in their minds the idea of fighting for anyone, let alone ambitions!
"Every strong person has a beginning. Only by having the courage to start and setting great ambitions can you find your way to the strong. ”
"Remember this sentence, in my heart, you will not be worse than anyone else!"
"My Emperor! Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! ”
In this world, there is one thing that is more precious than gold, and it is trust!
And the trust of the Son of Heaven, there is nothing in the world that can buy it!
One after another, the soldiers in a circle shouted and bowed one after another, like a black wave, spreading towards the periphery.
"Good! Soldiers, after you have set up a great ambition to fight for the country and the king, I will teach you the art of marksmanship! ”
Immediately afterwards, Liu Xie recruited nearly 3,000 shooters, and began to teach, in fact, it was nothing more than two tricks: one was to practice eyesight, and the other was to practice stability and arm strength.
First of all, learn "not instantaneous", that is, to train their eyesight without blinking.
It is required to "see the small as the big, and the small as the small".
The specific method is based on a ancient archery training method recorded in "Liezi Tangwen V", which was created by an archer named Ji Chang, which can be called the best home.
"Hanging lice in the woods"!
It is to choose a long hair on the tail of a cow, tie one end with a lice, and hang the other end on the window, and stare at the lice all day long, and after ten days you can see the lice bigger.
If you can keep looking at it for several months, it is estimated that you will be able to see lice like a car*, and when the time comes, the arrow will shoot straight through the middle of the lice, and the cow's hair will be undamaged.
If you have enough eyesight, you will have precision, and then you will have strength and stability training for your arms.
The "Five Shots" skill requires the elbow to be straight and not a little sloped. To achieve this, a glass of water is placed on the elbow arm of the shooter, and if the water overflows, the elbow is not leveled.
Such a demanding training is bound to be able to practice amazing smoothness; Coupled with the accumulation of arm strength training day and month, strong arms will surely appear.
Xu Feng nodded again and again while listening, and at the same time, he also contributed a method, which is the skill of eye disease and hand training.
Grab the leaves with one hand!
Take a leaf in your left hand, grasp it with your thumb and forefinger, and then let go and catch the leaf before it hits the ground, which is the first step;
The second step is to throw two leaves quickly one on the left and one on the right, and the other hand can grasp it before it hits the ground, and the reaction is considered fast;
The ultimate training of eye disease and fast hands is to throw a handful of leaves at will, and how much you can catch depends on your personal ability!
According to Xu Feng, he is now quick to set up a bow and release arrows only within a snap of his fingers.
The method of sharpshooter training was hotly out of the pot in the midst of this discussion.
As long as the soldiers continue to practice according to the method, their eyesight will be greater, their arms will be stable, their strength will be stronger, and their speed will be higher.
And as long as they integrate the four, they can be said to be marksmen!
After the Son of Heaven finished teaching, he returned to the big ring, leaving three thousand archers there scratching their ears and cheeks excitedly.
Today they enjoyed too much excitement and excitement, and happiness poured out of their minds like a flood that broke the embankment, and the joy on their faces could no longer hide the excitement in their hearts. (To be continued.) )
