Chapter 489: Assessment (8)

"Zhang Chong!"

"Mark it in!"

"Three hundred feet away, arrow target, fast!" Meng Yan ordered.

"Whoa!" Zhang Chong comprehended, picked up an arrow target and ran over!

The distance of 300 feet is almost more than 90 meters, and the scale of the Ming Dynasty is smaller than that of later generations, about 32 centimeters per foot.

In this way, the distance of 300 feet must be at least 96 meters.

If converted into steps, it should be about fifty-five steps, which is still a considerable distance from 100 steps.

Therefore, it is really not something that just anyone can do.

To do a hundred steps through the Yang, first of all, the quality of the bow and arrow in your hand must be passed, at least three stone bows or more, the arrow is to be the best carved arrow, not to say that the general arrow is not good, but if the general arrow, the test is the level of archery archery!

The requirements of the bow are the first and foremost, compared with the pistol, the effective range of the pistol is about 50 meters, and the maximum range is 200 meters, but there is no lethality on those books, and the rifle is different, the effective range is 400 meters, and the maximum range can reach thousands of meters.

A target at a distance of 500 meters, if you have to say that you want to use a pistol, it is not within reach at all, you can only use a rifle.

The same is true for this archery, the limit of a stone bow is fifty or sixty meters, far away, you can't reach it even if you break the bowstring, and the second stone bow is stronger than a stone bow, and the range can be sixty steps away when the bow is full.

Let's explain it this way, a stone bow requires at least 100 catties of strength to be able to pull it, and every time you add a stone, you need to increase more than 100 catties of strength, and if you want to pull a three-stone bow, the strength of your arms must be at least 400 catties or more!

The three-hundred-foot arrow target was installed, and Zhang Chong came back to resume his life.

"Hua Qingfang. If you can use the iron tire bow in your hand to shoot the bull's-eye three hundred feet away, in addition to the iron tire bow in your hand, I will reward you with an additional ten taels of silver. Meng Yan said.

Ten taels of silver!

It doesn't sound like much, but all the savings of ordinary people's families may not add up to that much.

Why did Hua Qingfang, a hunter, come to participate in the selection of Jinyiwei?

To say that he wants to reimburse the court, it is all face-saving words, and the real purpose is to have a good future. For the sake of a better life for the family.

Ten taels of silver is enough for the family to use it for a while, at least let the old mother, wife and children at home add a few new clothes.

"Is this true?"

"When does my Meng Yan talk no longer count?" Meng Yan waved his hand, and Guo Xiaochao took out two ingots of silver from his sleeve cage.

Seeing that the silver was right in front of him, Hua Qingfang's excited eyes lit up.

The two-stone iron-tire bow is much heavier, and this is still the standard weapon of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the first time that Hua Qingfang has used such a bow.

"Arrows!"

A quiver filled with carved arrows arrived.

This bow and this arrow are both well-made and of the highest quality. I'm afraid that the general army will not be needed yet.

Drawing an arrow, a cold light flashed on the arrow, this is a murderous weapon.

Bending the bow and arrows, Hua Qingfang seemed to be deliberately showing, and before everyone could see clearly, he had already shot an arrow.

Chemical element!

The arrow hits the target, but misses the heart, but is able to hit the target. It has already surprised many people.

Even Tang Xiao, these veteran players can shoot an arrow 300 feet away, and there are few arrow targets that are 300 feet away.

Not the bow and arrow he was familiar with, Hua Qingfang was able to shoot the target for the first time. This is already very good, seeing this arrow, Meng Yan nodded.

He was a little disappointed to see that he didn't shoot the heart, but he also knew it. I am not familiar with this bow and arrow, and I am already satisfied with being able to shoot with one arrow.

Meng Yan didn't stop, Hua Qingfang naturally didn't mean to stop, and raised his hand. Pick up the second arrow.

This time he was attentive, the second arrow was much slower than the first, but this arrow was much sharper than the first one.

Meng Yan's eyes lit up, this Hua Qingfang's talent in archery is still quite good, and if he cultivates it well, at least he will not lose to those Tatar marksmen in archery.

Chemical element!

There was a crisp sound, and the arrow had hit the target, but it was a little short of off the red heart in the target.

If it weren't for Hua Qingfang's first time using the iron tire bow of Ershi, I'm afraid there would be a "boo" around me.

"It's close again, yes!" Meng Yan nodded slightly, this Hua Qingfang is still quite spiritual, and he has touched the characteristics of this iron tire bow so quickly.

"The third arrow!" Guo Xiaochao, who cherished words like gold, suddenly spoke.

"Brother Xiao Chao is saying that his third arrow can hit the red heart?" Meng Yan turned his head in surprise, he knew that Guo Xiaochao was very accurate in seeing people, but he had never seen it before.

"Hmm." Guo Xiaochao nodded, "My lord, do you want to gamble?" ”

"Bet, little super brother, you never gamble." Meng Yan said with some surprise.

"A little gamble!"

"Okay, it's difficult little super brother to speak, what do you want to give this face, how much to bet on?" Meng Yan said with a smile.

Guo Xiaochao raised a finger.

"One or two?"

"One hundred taels!" Guo Xiaochao shook his head and said a number.

"Is this still a small bet?" Meng Yan opened his mouth wide and looked at Guo Xiaochao with some incredulity.

"To you, my lord, one hundred taels is just a small number." Guo Xiaochao replied leisurely.

"Okay, you Guo Xiaochao, one hundred taels is one hundred taels, if I lose, I will give you one hundred taels of silver, but what if you lose?" Meng Yan Road.

"Naturally, there will be no less than a hundred taels of silver."

"Okay, that's settled."

"But how can you bet on this?" Meng Yan said, "Can't we both bet on Hua Qingfang's third arrow to hit the red heart, right?" ”

"What do you say?"

"Since Brother Xiao Chao gambled that Hua Qingfang's third arrow hit the red heart, then I have no other choice but to bet that he won't miss?"

"Do you want to go back on it?"

"Of course not, since it's a bet, there will be wins and losses, maybe I won?" Meng Yan said with a smile.

Hua Qingfang didn't know that Meng Yan behind him had made a bet with Guo Xiaochao with the third arrow he shot, and the bet was one hundred taels of silver.

Concentrate on this arrow. He must shoot the red heart, the so-called thing is not more than three, if the three arrows can't hit the red heart, he is not eligible to get the iron tire bow and the ten taels of silver reward.

"Whoosh!"

On the third arrow, everyone's eyes widened to see if this arrow could hit the red heart that cherished the size of the copper coin.

"Hit!"

The third arrow not only hit the bull's-eye. He also shot through the target, and the shaft of the arrow sank into the target by a small half.

"Okay, shoot well, Hua Qingfang, I really didn't misunderstand you!" Meng Yan laughed, very happy.

"Thank you, Lord for compliment!" Hua Qingfang is also a little proud, his archery skills have been practiced since he was a child, and his kung fu for more than ten years is not in vain.

"Hua Qingfang. I'm not surprised that you can shoot this fixed target, you're an Orion yourself, but what about a moving target, can you do it? Meng Yan asked.

"Lord Huiyu, within two hundred feet, where do you point, mark and shoot!" Hua Qingfang said loudly.

"Two hundred feet. It's too close, I want three hundred feet. Can you do it? ”

"I can't mark it now, but I can definitely do it in the future!"

"Okay, I believe in you, this two-stone iron tire bow will reward you, and ten taels of silver, give me a good practice of archery!" Meng Yan Road.

"Thank you, sir!"

"Don't be proud. Your archery skills are good, but you're still far from being a real master! Meng Yan solemnly reminded.

"A real master?"

"Hua Qingfang, you have eyes but don't know the true Buddha, do you know that the adult's archery skills are the real masters!" Tang smiled and said with a smile.

"Your Excellency?" Hua Qingfang was also surprised.

"Hey, Don smiled. My archery skills are not very good, there are many people who are better than me. Meng Yan shook his hand.

"My lord, why don't you show your hand and let everyone see it?"

"Brother Xiaochao, are you also here to coax?"

"It's a big deal, I don't want the one hundred taels of silver, what do you say?" Guo Xiaochao smiled.

"Okay, then show your hand!" Meng Yan thought about it, the strength of this army, leading the troops must not only be good at punishment, but also have excellent skills, otherwise, even if you are the commander, no one will obey you and listen to you.

Meng Yan is not a person who likes to show off, but sometimes, if you don't show some skills, that's not okay.

"Hua Qingfang, lend me your bow!" Meng Yan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said to Hua Qingfang.

"Your Excellency, please use it!" Hua Qingfang was a little excited and put the iron tire bow on Meng Yan's palm.

"See clearly, I'll only show you this time, how much you can learn, it depends on your own ability." Meng Yan lowered his voice.

Hua Qingfang was slightly startled, and was quickly ecstatic, Meng Yan wanted to teach him archery.

A shot of the quiver, all the way to the carved arrow, quickly put on the bowstring, before everyone could see Meng Yan aiming, the first arrow was shot off the string!

Chemical element!

The first arrow actually hit Hua Qingfang and the third arrow to the bull's-eye, and it happened to be inserted on the central dot!

Sizzle......

Everyone gasped, especially Hua Qingfang, he was holding a quiver in his hand, looking at the trembling tail of the arrow, his eyes were wide, he loved archery since he was a child, and naturally knew how difficult this arrow was and how difficult it was to master the strength.

First arrow!

Meng Yan didn't give everyone time to breathe at all, the two arrows behind were an arrow, as fast as an arrow, the second piece broke the arrow shaft of the first piece in the middle, and the red heart was in the middle, and the third arrow broke the shaft of the second arrow, the difference is that the second arrow is broken vertically from the middle, and the third arrow is broken horizontally, which shows that the state of the arrows of the two arrows in flight is different, and it is exactly the shape of the word "ten".

Everyone looked at the petrification, Meng Yan's three arrows were compared to the three arrows of Hua Qingfang just now, one was in the sky and the other was underground, which was completely incomparable.

It's just amazing!

The iron tire bow of these two stones is a standard weapon, and Meng Yan is also using it for the first time, but when he observed Hua Qingfang's adaptation, he had already discovered the characteristics of this bow, so it was faster to get started.

"Your Excellency is really a miracle!"

"What is this, as long as you practice hard, any archer can do it, in Beiyuan, the marksmen I have seen, every one of them can do it." Meng Yan Road.

"This Tartar warrior is so good at archery?" Everyone took a breath.

"And in the event of a fight with the Tatars, aren't we no opponents at all?"

"Don't be presumptuous, what others can do, we can also do, don't you also see it, don't I also do it, as long as you find the skills and practice diligently, you can also do it." Meng Yan said, "What's more, the Tatar marksman is not a cabbage or a radish, so you don't need to worry too much." (To be continued......)
