Chapter 61: Forcefully open the six-stone earth-shaking bow
Xu Gang held the knife in his hand, followed behind Daoyuan with his head held high, walking in the dense forest, and the red fast trapping clothes on the two of them looked a little too big.
The two of them came to a place full of vines at the edge of the dense forest, Daoyuan went straight to a place with more vines, stretched out his hand to push those vines away, and a hole appeared in front of Xu Gang's eyes.
"Xu Dutou, follow me!" After that, Daoyuan went straight in.
This cave is not very big, only four or five people wide, the diameter is only one or two zhang deep, the light from the outside penetrates through the cracks in the vines, the scene in the cave is clearly visible, you can see it all at a glance, there is only a wooden box in the cave, and a boxy thing, covered with black cloth, I don't know what is inside.
Dao Yuan walked straight to the wooden box, took out two bows from it, and handed them to Xu Gang together, and then he lifted the black cloth covering the thing next to him.
"Goo~~"
It turned out to be a cage, and there were several gray pigeons in it, only of which were strong and fat, and when they saw the light, the pigeons immediately became agitated. Daoyuan grabbed a handful of grain from the wooden box and threw it in the cage, and the pigeons fluttered and competed for food.
"What's in the box?" Xu Gang thought silently in his heart, and at the same time approached the box curiously and looked inside.
"Uh~~" I saw more than a dozen pots of arrows and a small bag of millet standing in the box, and there was nothing.
"Well, the pigeon is roasted and eaten, and it still tastes very good!" Xu Gang put the bow back in the box, stood by the box, looked at the pigeon that had just been caught from the cage in Daoyuan's hand, and touched his chin.
"Ah~~ roasted and eaten?" Daoyuan was slightly stunned, and suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, Xu Dutou, these pigeons are not for food, these are carrier pigeons!" ”
Xu Gang was embarrassed in his heart, people often train pigeons to transmit information, he naturally knew it, but he didn't think about it at all just now, in his eyes, those pigeons are all lumps of meat!
Dao Yuan smiled, looked at the pigeon in his hand, put it back again, and caught another one, this one looked similar to the others, except that the hair around its neck was white.
Then he walked to the mouth of the cave, released the pigeon through the gap between the vines, and watched it fly high into the air and slowly disappear from sight, and then returned to the box in the cave.
"Daoyuan, are you delivering a message? Why didn't you put a letter on a pigeon? Xu Gang thought to himself that since he was releasing carrier pigeons, why Daoyuan let the pigeons fly empty, a little puzzled.
"Xu Dutou, we have already agreed that we don't need to put letters, so as not to show the news! As soon as they see this pigeon, they will understand that they are telling them to hurry to this cave. Daoyuan explained with a smile.
"Oh, that's what it means, but what do these pigeons that look the same mean?" Xu Gang asked again.
"The same meaning! In order to prevent only one pigeon from transmitting a message and being shot down by someone else, the transmission of information will be interrupted, so a few more are prepared. After Daoyuan finished speaking, he caught another pigeon and released it.
Xu Gang was completely stunned, and suddenly there were 10,000 ants crawling in his heart, he thought that the feathers on the neck did not represent one meaning, and the pigeon in the cage represented other meanings, so that he was still there staring at the difference between each pigeon.
Daoyuan thought about it, and finally guessed what Xu Gang meant, and chuckled: "Xu Dutou, these pigeons are all raised by our army stationed in Meizhou City, as long as these pigeons are released, they will fly back by themselves, as soon as they see these pigeons returning to the nest, they will naturally understand what to do next!" ”
"Oh, got it!" Xu Gang scratched the back of his head, and casually took a bow in the wooden box in his hand and played with it.
"Xu Dutou, the bow in your hand was found by the general in that ancient tomb of the clothed mound, and it was well preserved, so he took it out. This bow is called the earthquake bow, it is a very precious bow, its bow arm is made of the best rosewood, hard and elastic, the bowstring is made of the back tendon of the jack of the bull, this bow can shoot 300 steps, through the heavy ......" Dao Yuan walked inside while introducing him.
Xu Gang erected the bow with his left hand and pulled the string with his right hand, only to hear him snort softly, he pulled the bow for a full moon, and after a few breaths, he let go of the bowstring with a tense sound.
"Uh~~ Xu Dutou, you can actually pull this bow, even the general can't pull it! This is an authentic six-stone strong bow......" Dao Yuan was slightly stunned, but he was relieved when he thought of his appetite and the unfathomable internal strength.
"Whew~~ It's really hard to pull this bow, I can only hold on to five or six breaths!" Xu Gang exhaled deeply and put the earth-shaking bow back into the box.
That's five or six breaths, and you can complete the whole process of firing the bow, aiming, and releasing the arrow. You must know that many strong archers in the army can only open a stone bow, and the more powerful ones can open two stone bows, relying on the power of a moment, and there is no strength before aiming, so the strong bow is used as a long-range weapon, generally taking a throw, and not aiming, and the final damage to the enemy comes from the power of the arrows falling freely, if they encounter heavy armor, they can't break the armor on their bodies at all.
Daoyuan's eyes were full of helplessness, and he suddenly felt that he couldn't communicate with a strange person like Xu Gang, I really didn't know what adventures he had gotten and what extraordinary abilities he had!
"I said, if this bow is so powerful, why are you still throwing it around? If someone steals it, it will be a big loss, and no matter how rich you are, you can't destroy it. Xu Gang suddenly felt a heartache, what a few, first the night pearl, and then the precious famous bow, how did they get into the hands of the detective army, and all of them were thrown around like ordinary goods?
"Well, these two bows are the burial goods in the ancient tomb, the general said that one is too light, the other is too heavy, and the practicality is too poor, so he asked me to keep it first, and I will put it here temporarily, since Xu Dutou can pull it away, then you can use it!" Daoyuan paused slightly, lowered his voice and said, "Anyway, this bow has no account!" It's an ownerless thing. ”
"But I don't know how to shoot arrows!" Xu Gang really wanted something in his heart, the bow and arrow were a good thing, and they could block the enemy from a hundred steps away.
"It's okay, archery is very simple and easy to learn!" After that, Dao Yuan took out another bow, pulled it, and frowned: This bow is not simple, it takes at least the strength of two stones to pull it apart, and the general actually said that this bow is very light, I'm afraid it is for him, he knows very well that the general's power can open a four-stone strong bow.
Dao Yuan put a vine at the entrance of the cave on a protruding stone not far from the edge of the cave, then retreated to the position of the box, took a feather arrow from the pot, smiled at Xu Gang, and pointed to the vine.
Shooting the bow and arrow, Daoyuan's movements were very skillful, only to hear the "whoosh", the feather arrow broke the vine, and fell to the ground after a flick on the stone wall.
"It seems like it's really easy, I'll try it too!" Xu Gang saw that Dao's long-range shot was very easy, and his confidence suddenly doubled.
I saw him pull out a feather arrow from the pot, learn to open the bow and arrow like Daoyuan, drink a sound, then pull a full string, pause for a moment, the feather arrow swished out, the speed is as fast as lightning, Daoyuan just blinked, then heard a sound, the feather arrow was nailed to the stone wall, the fire burst out, concentrating, only to see the entire arrow did not enter the stone wall, the tail of the arrow is still buzzing and trembling.
"Good!" Dao Yuan shouted, very excited, he didn't expect Xu Dutou to be so powerful, and he learned it after seeing that he operated it.
"What a fart! It's so much off, and you still say it's good! Xu Gang looked at the feather arrow that was about a foot away from the target, and glanced at it from afar.
"Although the accuracy is a little worse, but the lethality is full, and it is really good to be able to achieve such an effect for the first time!" Daoyuan smiled awkwardly.
