- There are rules for archery attire. Ceremonial ceremony, guests and hosts are dressed in court. However, the court clothes developed to this era, and they were no longer suitable for archery, so they were replaced by white boots.

After the two saluted the guest of honor, Chen Ke asked them to each take a bow and four arrows, which was called a 'shooter'. Then he ordered the 'winner', that is, the target announcer of later generations, to indicate the position of the two bulls' eyes side by side thirty paces away for the shooter.

When the flag fell, Chen Ke ordered: "Prepare for shooting." ”

Zhao Zongji and Xiao Hujian looked at each other. He took off the sleeve of his left hand and put a wrench on the thumb of his right hand. Then step your left foot on the marker, keep your eyes on the middle of the target, and then lean over to look at your feet and adjust your stride.

"Shoot in turn, don't overstep!" After they were ready, Chen Ke ordered: "Shoot!" "In fact, there is also a 'decoy shot' as usual, that is, he will demonstrate it on the end, but Chen Ke has thought about it too much, so Xiao Hujian is already about to explode, and he can't be stimulated anymore......

The two shooters held their breath and waited for him to give the order.

As soon as the drum sounded, Chen Ke said: "No shooting, no hunting!" "It means, 'Don't shoot the target!'" Don't scare the target! 'Doubles are ready to shoot.

The target name 'Hou' used in the shooter is made of cowhide. There are all kinds of beasts or other things painted in it, and the center of it is called 'Zheng', also called 'Of'...... That's what it means by 'one arrow'.

After Zhao Zongji shot an arrow first, he then pulled out an arrow from his waist and put it on the string, and then Xiao Hujian shot it. And so on until they have shot all four arrows.

The target announcer raised his voice to report the result of the shot to the court, and then pulled the arrow down...... Because the first shot is a test shot, and the results are not counted.

Wait until the target is cleared. Then the second shot is carried out, and the second shot is the test of winning and losing.

The second drum sounded, and Chen Ke announced: "Don't let it go!" "It means, 'Whoever does not shoot through the target will not be counted!'

The two archers take turns firing their bows and arrows in the same way as they shoot a shot......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Although the Khitans are becoming more and more out of tune. Addicted to the so-called Han culture, but thanks to the blessing of 'four seasons to make a bowl', their ancestral skill of riding horses and archery has not been lost.

Xiao Hujian, the word Yixin, has stuttered since childhood. Optic squint, curly hair. When his uncle saw this, he said, 'It is the appearance of a child, and there is no one in the clan.' Because of his unique appearance, he grew up without playmates. But instead of preventing him from shooting arrows, those squinted eyes helped him aim more accurately.

After discovering his talent in archery, Xiao Hujian spent a lot of time on it. From childhood to adulthood, he shot millions of arrows. Bows and arrows have long been part of his body. No matter how irritable he is, as long as his fingers are on the bowstring, he can quickly calm down, his heart is like water, and the bow is one......

Hook the arrow, buckle the string, open the bow, aim, and dismount! One Stone!

It was Zhao Zongji's turn. The bow in his hand. It was given to him by Chen Ke just last year. But he has been practicing archery for sixteen years. On the one hand, his sensitive identity makes him lack playmates, allowing him to focus more on the archery range; On the other hand, this young man who grew up listening to the story of the Song Xia battle. I have always had a fiery ideal in my heart - to look northwest and shoot the wolf!

After more than ten years of repeated practice, archery has already become like eating and drinking. He knew all the art of archery. For example, the current bow drawing action is an explosive force, and the bow is pulled apart. The longer you aim, the more you continue to pull the bowstring, which will cause the arm to tremble.

With a slight shake of the wrist, the arrow will be eight feet away from the target, so the arrow needs to be fast. Aimed at the target and fired quickly, but shot accurately-

Whoosh an arrow. With a short sound of breaking wind, it hit the target! Bang. The powerful penetrating force caused the arrow to penetrate the target, and then flew out and landed on the carriage in the distance. …,

Everyone in the room froze!

Yelu Derong guessed that the little prince's archery skills must be very high, otherwise how could he dare to compete with the Khitans? But I didn't expect it to be so high. He couldn't help but secretly sweat.

Fortunately, Xiao Hujian was already immersed in the world of bows and arrows, no matter what Zhao Zongji's situation was, he was fully engaged in injecting the second arrow - one arrow!

Zhao Zongji controlled his strength. A second arrow was also fired, this time it was not so exaggerated, but it still missed the bull's-eye.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them each shot four arrows, and they all hit the bull's-eye! Although Zhao Zongji shot through a target, he would not be treated differently in the rules.

Tie. Thirty steps was also the minimum requirement for archers in the Song Dynasty.

Then he fired three times. This time the target was pushed outwards twenty paces to fifty steps. This was the minimum requirement for an archer in the Liao Dynasty.

The three-way drum sounded, and the two shot four arrows in turn, and they all hit the bull's-eye! Of course, this bullseye is better than the one in later generations...... If you make an analogy, it is probably counted within the nine rings.

Another draw!

Four shots, the target moved outward to seventy steps.

Four drums sounded, and this time the aiming time of the two of them became significantly longer. But they all hit!

Five shots, the target moved outward to ninety steps. Or hits.

Six shots, the target moved to a hundred paces. The so-called 100 steps through Yang, what can be hit here is the marksman.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"This, Master Chen," Zhao Bian asked Chen Ke in a low voice, "How do I remember, Zhou Li only has three shots." ”

"Ask if they stop in the middle of the process, will they agree?" Chen Ke shook his head and said, "Don't you stick to the ancient rites......

"Ahem, it's all your reason." Zhao Bian said with a smile.

Chen Ke smiled and didn't speak, at this time, the results of the sixth shot came out, and both of them were third middle school and first middle school marquis.

This does not mean that their archery skills are not yet at home. Twenty-four arrows in six rounds, an exhaustion of physical strength; The influence of the wind, the state of the moment, can lead to deviations.

At this time, the hearts of the spectators were in their throats, and they stared at the field with wide eyes, holding their breath, and nervously. Under the thousands of onlookers, there was only the sound of bowstrings and bows hitting the target......

Seventh shot, one hundred and ten steps. After the two of them were adjusted, they all hit.

Eight shots, one hundred and twenty steps, the two of them seemed to have discussed it, and they were both two of the two.

Nine shots! One hundred and thirty steps! This distance, the so-called land of an arrow, is considered the limit range of the bow and arrow, and on the battlefield, the officer must stand one stone's throw away from the enemy's advance in order to ensure safety.

However, both of them actually hit, although they only hit one arrow, but the other three arrows also pierced the target...... From this distance, the target was only the size of an apple, and God knows how the two of them hit it. God knows how they have such a long range!

The two of them passed another hundred and forty steps, although none of them hit, and Xiao Hu saw that an arrow missed the target and did not penetrate the arrow. Zhao Zongji's two arrows missed the target, but they still shocked the officers and soldiers on both sides, this is over-distance archery!

When he reached one hundred and fifty steps, Xiao Hujian only hit the target with one arrow. And Zhao Zongji has two arrows.

But neither of them had any intention of stopping, and the target moved to one hundred and sixty paces.

Xiao Hu saw that all of them missed the target, but Zhao Zongji still hit the target with one arrow......

Dejectedly handing the bow to his subordinates, Xiao Hujian lowered his hands, looked at Zhao Zongji and said, "Can I take a look at your bow?" ”

"I'm sorry." Zhao Zongji smiled bitterly: "I don't have the strength to hand it to you." As soon as his hand was released, the swarthy bow with balls at both ends fell into the hands of his personal guard, who immediately put it into the bow box, cutting off Xiao Huzhen's sight.

Xiao Hujian knew that this was a secret, but it was just a tact......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In fact, when it comes to archery, Zhao Zongji is considered the top among the Han people. But it's still much worse than Xiao Hujian, the top scorer in the Liao Kingdom. Not to mention that he can only shoot one shooting posture vertically, just talking about his strength, crosshair and endurance, it is a cut worse than Xiao Hujian. …,

The reason why he was able to win this battle was all thanks to that mysterious black bow and arrow - it was a combination bow with pulleys and sights that was made after more than two years of repeated experiments by the best minds of our time and the advanced experience of later generations!

Science and technology are the primary productive forces and the primary combat effectiveness. The research and improvement of weapons has always been a matter of great importance to the people of the Song Dynasty, who lacked the spirit of blood and bravery. Even the prime minister of a country once wrote a weapon monograph such as "The General Essentials of the Martial Arts".

Since Chen Ke came to the Great Song Dynasty, he naturally wanted to contribute to his country. He really wanted to apply the knowledge of later generations in this era, but unfortunately he only hated that he was born to study medicine, not physics and chemistry, and could not make guns and cannons, nor could he improve gunpowder. You can only use your brain on the existing cold weapons.

Guns don't work, only bows and crossbows. Chen Ke thought of the two most famous bows in the world, one was the longbow of the English longbowmen, and the other was the combination bow of the Mongols. The range of the two bows is indistinguishable, but the former requires a height of more than 1.75 meters to open. If you are below this height, you will have to bring your own bench...... Obviously, it is not suitable for the Song people who are in their early sixties with an average height of one meter.

It is more suitable to have a compound bow, and he was pleased to learn that the Yellow Birch Bow, Black Lacquer Bow, White Birch Bow, and Ma Back Bow of the Song Dynasty were all compound bows.

After obtaining all four types of bows from the Guangxi Duzuo Academy, Chen Ke met the mad scientist Shen Kuo and the super maker Su Song. Shen Kuo himself is an expert in bow making, and he has the research spirit of a scientist. As for Su Song, if you give him a reasonable idea, he will be able to make you a finished product that meets the requirements!

Together, these two men created this compound bow called 'Shooting Tiger'. Its accuracy is high, the strength is strong, and it saves a lot of effort, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first bow in the world.

The only downside is that the cost is too high! At present, the cost of a bow is more than 100 taels of gold, and it is impossible to equip the troops.

Partition -

It's four o'clock again, I think, don't say anything more?
