Chapter 7: A Shocking Arrow (I)
Soon, the entire forbidden army began to prepare for the competition. And the first competition is bow and arrow, and the Tang Dynasty army bow and arrow is the most basic, and it is also a combat skill that any soldier must learn. Therefore, bows and arrows are also the first items to be assessed. And the hundreds of people selected from the forbidden army were aiming at those arrow targets in the distance, preparing to start firing arrows. And these targets were a hundred steps away from the firing point, which was about a hundred meters in later generations. One step in ancient times is equivalent to two steps in later generations, that is, two steps.
Such a long distance, that is, the normal range of an ordinary bow and arrow. And to be able to shoot a red heart at this distance, that is already a person who flies out powerfully. Of course, legend has it that the ancient Yangyuki could shoot the willow from a hundred steps away, known as a hundred steps through the poplar. But later, I'm afraid there aren't many people who can do it.
"Ready!"
With an order, hundreds of people raised their longbows at the same time, ready to aim at the bullseye in the distance. As for Chen Fei, he was holding a bow that looked very huge, and there were various intricate designs on it, which seemed to be very fancy. However, everyone didn't think that Chen Fei could pull it away. And Chen Fei's bow is the dragon tongue bow used by Lu Bu back then, and the pulling force is enough to nine stones.
Of course, Chen Fei's bow was transformed by Chen Fei, that is, an ordinary straight-pull bow was added to the pulley block to become a pulley bow in later generations. The pulley bow can play a role in saving effort, that is, it can maintain the full moon state of the bow with relatively little effort. Originally, a one-stone bow, if you want to pull it to the full moon state, you must have more than one stone of strength to maintain the full moon of a one-stone bow. This kind of ordinary bow and crossbow, the more you pull it to the back, the more laborious it is. However, the pulley bow that Chen Fei has transformed can be pulled to the back more and more effortlessly. The most strenuous stage, that is, the full moon state, requires more effort than the bow itself. And Chen Fei's modified pulley bow can be done with just a few percent of his strength. This modified dragon tongue bow has a labor-saving ratio of more than 90 percent, that is, if you want to maintain the full moon state of this bow, you only need more than 40 kilograms of pulling force. And with more than 40 kilograms of arm strength, Chen Fei, a person who has been trained by the army in later generations, can completely bear it.
And people's normal physical strength, as well as explosive power, are different. A person's explosive power can get more than ten times of normal physical strength, and although Chen Fei is not a brave general, as long as he uses explosive power to open part of this nine-stone bow at the moment of drawing the bow, and then he can use very little physical strength to maintain the state of pulling it apart, this is the principle of the pulley bow. Chen Fei also used the scientific principles of later generations to pull this nine-stone bow.
"Aim!"
Chen Fei used all his strength just now, and finally pulled this nine-stone bow to reach the full moon state, and then only more than forty kilograms of strength can maintain the full moon state of a nine-stone bow, and then it can be easily aimed, which is not difficult for Chen Fei, who has experienced two years of military training in later generations. This is also the characteristic of the pulley bow, when it is pulled to reach the full moon state, it can allow the shooter to aim directly without spending much physical strength, without consuming too much physical energy, which allows the shooter to aim carefully and artificially improve the shooting accuracy. Although the accuracy of the pulley bow will be reduced due to its own mechanical structure, because it allows the shooter to aim carefully without much effort, the accuracy of the pulley bow will not actually decrease, but will be improved.
However, due to special reasons, the pulley bow has a bad feel when shooting, so it is inevitable that it will not be able to fire quickly. However, for Chen Fei's state now, there is no need for rapid fire, as long as he shoots an arrow. When the time comes, he can completely prove that he has pulled out the nine-stone bow, so that he can also fulfill his promise to the Zhonglang general Chang He, and he will open the nine-stone bow himself, proving that he can also pull the nine-stone bow as a literati.
And at a distance of a hundred paces, there was a huge arrow target, and this arrow target was very large, seven or eight meters in diameter. Hundreds of shooters will have to aim at this target, and whoever hits the bull's-eye can move on to the next round. And those who don't hit the bull's-eye, or simply miss the target, will have to quit the game. And how to judge whether it hits or not, it depends on the number on each person's arrow. This kind of arrow actually has a number on the tail of the arrow, and it is shot according to the number issued before. Whoever hits the bull's-eye can be seen from the number.
And Chen Fei is confident that he can hit the target. Because he was also an archery enthusiast when he was a child in later life, although he couldn't say how accurate it was. But if you don't miss the target within 100 meters, this can still be done. Therefore, as long as he hits the arrow target and proves that this bow does have the power of nine stones, this can also be used as a slap in the face to Chang He, the lieutenant general.
"Launch!"
"Whoosh Whoosh ......"
As the soldier in charge of giving the order gave the order, hundreds of participating soldiers also let go of the hand that drew the bow one by one, and the potential energy stored in the bow arm was converted into kinetic energy again, and then driven to the arrow through the bowstring. These arrows are specially made, which are not only very strong, but also increase their weight, making them strong enough to withstand very large tensions. The arrow was driven by the strong thrust of the bowstring, and then flew out quickly, and the huge inertia made the arrow leap in the air, and then flew directly towards the arrow target.
"Da ......" Countless arrows were nailed to the target, apparently deeply embedded in the wooden target.
And Chen Fei didn't launch it at the first time, but waited for everyone to launch it almost completely, and then aimed at the bull's-eye.
"Whoosh-"
A sound pierced the air, and a specially made arrow flew out like lightning.
"Bump-boom-"
There was a loud bang, at first everyone seemed to hear a violent crash, and then suddenly they heard a loud bang that felt like a thunderous explosion. After that, a puff of smoke and dust came from the direction of the target, and it was obvious that the target seemed to have been hit by some huge force, and then began to shatter, and then turned into pieces one by one.
"Oh my God!" Emperor Li Yuan suddenly looked at the smoke and dust of the arrow target in the distance in shock, obviously he also let out an exclamation, he didn't know what force actually made the arrow target shatter so much.
