Eighty steps!

After hearing this, the young people talked about it, the last time Lu Xing compared shooting with others, he only moved to seventy steps away, this time, it was actually eighty steps, is Lu Xing's archery skills improved again? Or is it that he just randomly pulled the strings last time, and did not show his true ability.

Zhao Wuxian was also slightly surprised when he heard this, eighty steps, this is an incredible distance.

The Zhou Dynasty took eight feet as a step, and one foot was 23.1 centimeters in later generations, that is, one step was about 185 centimeters, and eighty steps was nearly 150 meters!

Zhao Wuxian was also fascinated by bows and arrows in his previous life, but it was only the nature of playing tickets, and the level was not good, and he inherited the talent of the body in this life, so he improved.

He knew that the bow and arrow had the concept of maximum range and effective range, and in the Spring and Autumn Period, the recurved angle bow commonly used in the Zhuxia army generally had a maximum range of about 110 paces, and an effective range of 70 to 80 steps. But in fact, even in his previous life, if he could shoot an arrow within 50 steps, he was already a leader in playing with a bow.

And Lu Xing wants to shoot eighty steps away, which means that his archery skills have reached the peak of ordinary people, and if he goes up, I am afraid that he will be able to touch the realm of geniuses such as Yang Youji, Pan Dang, and Lu Qi.

When Lu Xing's attendant took his special big bow, Zhao Wuxian immediately understood, no wonder this guy was so big and dared to shoot eighty steps away, it turned out that he had a good strength!

In the spring and autumn, most of the recurved bows used in Zhuxia were recurved angle bows, and there were also some single straight draws made of bamboo and wood.

Zhao Wuxian heard the craftsmen of Chengyi say that the six materials needed to make a bow are dry, horn, tendon, glue, silk and lacquer.

For the selection of six materials, the craftsmen have more detailed regulations, such as the bow stem, there are seven kinds of raw materials, and arrange their advantages and disadvantages, "where to take the dry way seven: extension for the top, stability second, rhino mulberry second, orange second, papaya second, wattle second, bamboo for the next." Of the seven types of trees, the bow is the best material, followed by bamboo.

The one in Lu Xing's hand was the Tuomu Horn Bow with one stone and two buckets.

In the Zhou and Qin periods, one stone was about 60 kilograms, and ordinary people lacked the skills to pull the bow, and recklessly pulling the string not only could not pull the bow, but also easily injured the arm. At the beginning of spring, Zhao Wuxian presided over a township shooting ceremony in Chengyi, and only about half of those untrained adult countrymen could open a stone bow.

Therefore, the one-stone two-bucket horn bow used by Lu Xing, equivalent to 72 kilograms, is the standard bow of the tiger in the army, and it is not easy for a strong bow of this weight to open the bow like a full moon, but if it can be full, it can even be used to shoot rhinoceros and elephants with rough skin and thick flesh.

During last year's winter hunting, what Zhao Wuxian used to shoot black bears was only a stone horn bow, which could penetrate the second armor with an arrow within fifty steps. As for the bow with two stones, he had also tried to draw it to half full, but he could only insist on releasing more than fifty arrows at a time, and by the last few arrows, the muscles of his hands and shoulders would be sore and tremble, and the accuracy of the arrow was completely gone.

From this point of view, Lu Xing's strength is much greater than that of Wuxian, you know, he is also a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, and his body can continue to grow. When he becomes an adult, I am afraid that there will be another terrifying shooter in the world who is better than Pan Dang and Lu Qi.

Ling Hubo coughed lightly and announced the rules for winning or losing this archery: "The shooter, whose appearance and posture meet the requirements of etiquette, and whose archery rhythm conforms to the beat of the music, and if he shoots a lot, he wins!" ”

Zhao Wuxian knows that when archery, he pays attention to "following the sound", that is, listening to the beat of the movement, which is not a showmanship. It is because when the two armies are fighting, the archers shoot arrows with bows, and they also have to listen to the rhythm of the golden drum to shoot volleys, instead of indiscriminately.

This time, it was Zhao Guangde who volunteered to let him beat the rhythm, and after speaking, he took the drum hammer and beat the pottery (fou). It is a kind of terracotta ware for holding wine, and it can also be used as a musical instrument, which is the most popular in Qin.

At first glance, he knocked it well, and sure enough, vocal dogs and horses, wine and diet are the strengths of the little fat man.

Zhou etiquette stipulates: shooting salute, its festival, the Son of Heaven to "Su Yu" as the festival; The princes took the "Tanuki Head" as a festival; Dr. Qing took "Picking Apples" as a section; The festival is based on "Cai Fan".

Zhao Guangde is beating "Zhaonan. The rhythm of the poem "Picking Apples" is used to praise Dr. Qing for following the law.

Lu walked to a position of eighty steps, and after standing firm, he took a bow in one hand and touched the leather quiver he was carrying on his waist with the other, and drew an arrow. Then he bent down and sat on the horse, sank the plate, and after a light shout, he passed through his long arms, and ripped open the ox tendon and Tuomu horn bow with one stone and two buckets, and mounted the bronze cluster of feather arrows.

With the sound of a strong rhythm as it strikes, the bowstring continues to sound.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

After Lu Xing shot an arrow, he followed the beat, drew another arrow from the quiver in a fast way, put it on, opened the bow again, and shot four times in a row.

Zhao Wuxian saw that five arrows had been inserted in the center of the target covered with tiger and leopard pattern cloth in the distance, and the arrows and arrows almost came out of the target, leaving only the feathers and arrow shafts still exposed.

"Good!" Ling Hubo couldn't help but applaud his cousin's performance, he looked at Zhao Wuxian with a smile, but saw that there was not the slightest fear and cowardice on his face, but it seemed like ...... Excited?

In Linghu Bo's mind, even if this son is proficient in archery, he will not be his cousin Lu Xing's opponent, but why can he be so calm, could it be that there is anything left behind?

A young man ran over and wanted to pull out the arrow that Lu Xing shot through the target, but he tried his best, and he couldn't pull it out even when his face turned red.

The doctors and disciples looked at each other and nodded, and they all gave thumbs up. These five arrows are fired in succession, in harmony with the rhythm, and the momentum is strong and heavy, Lu Xing is indeed an expert in shooting, and he is the best in Pan Palace.

In their opinion, the outcome of this competition has been decided.

The black-clothed brocade boy named "Lezi" slapped his thigh and said, "Hugh, this Zhao gentleman will definitely lose today." If he loses, it doesn't matter if he is punished for drinking, the key is that when he first came to Pan Palace, he was defeated by Lu Xing, the small sect of the Wei family. Since then, the children of the Zhao family's family have been even more unable to raise their heads, alas, it seems that we still have to follow Wei Zi and Han Zi. ”

The white-clothed young man Zhang Zi was not in a hurry, and his mouth was still the same sentence: "Wait a little longer, you will see soon." ”

On the other side, Lu Xingchang let out a sigh of relief, very proud of his archery skills, he raised his chin at Zhao Wuxian, and said proudly: "Xingxian is ugly, Zhao Zi thinks that I can have the ability of Ancestor Wuzi?" ”

He originally intended to show off and provoke, but Zhao Wuxian actually commented so unhurriedly: "In Wuxian's opinion, Lu Zi's archery skills are not as tricky and strange as the legendary Lu Wuzi's arrows, but they have a bit of Pan Dang's style." ”

Lu Xing was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "That's right, the archer said that my strength is suitable for learning Pan Dang's archery, and now I can wear three layers of leather armor in fifty steps!" ”

Zhao Wuxian silently calculated in his heart, within fifty steps, he could only open a stone bow and penetrate two layers of leather armor.

In other words, his strength is probably only two-thirds of Lu Xing's.

Drawing a strong bow should be increased step by step, with Zhao Wuxian's physical foundation, if you want to open the bow with both arms, to the extent of Lu Xing, it is impossible to do it without several years of training.

A smile appeared on the corner of Wuxian's mouth, he did underestimate Lu Xing's ability, but unfortunately, with the assistance of the sharp weapon he brought, this one-third gap would be silently offset by it!

"Good! It seems that I can congratulate the monarch on the fact that my Jin Kingdom has produced a Pan Dang-like shooter. However, no matter how strong the Pan Party is, it is only the second shooter in the world, and as soon as Yang Yuji comes out, he can restrain him! ”

Lu Xing was very happy to be praised, but then he was puzzled again: "What does Zhao Zi mean by this?" ”

Zhao Wuxian said slowly: "The archery skills that Wuxian is good at are somewhat similar to Yang Yuji, not strong, but accurate, although I dare not say that I can wear Yang ...... in a hundred steps."

With a wave of his hand, he pointed to the position ten steps behind Lu Xing and said, "But I can still do it if I open a bow from ninety steps away!" ”

……

Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, and the third will be a little later, around 12 o'clock in the evening.
