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

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Gongsun Zhan is on the top, flanked by four righteous servants with big shoulders and round waists and a soldier Cao Peng, and there are two middle and low-level officers standing at the bottom: cavalry general Zhao Yun and the team leader Ma Hu.

This is Gongsun Zhan's continuous summoning of this young team leader in just two days. It stands to reason that such a low-ranking officer is not qualified to enter his big account at all, let alone enter the account continuously. But I don't know if this person is too lucky, or if he really has the ability, he switched to his own army for two days, and he killed one of the middle and senior generals of the Jizhou army one after another.

Gongsun Chan summoned him this time and brought Zhao Yun with him, with his own intentions, as soon as he saw the two, the first thing he said was to ask Zhao Yun: "How, maybe competent?" ”

"This ......" Zhao Yun gave a military salute to Gongsun Zhan, glanced at Ma Han slightly, and stopped talking.

Ma Han's eyes flashed, and he understood Zhao Yun's true intention of pulling him to the training ground to compete today, which turned out to be confessed by Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Zhan's thick brows like an iron broom frowned, and his eyes were piercing: "What? Are there any inconveniences? ”

"No, the subordinates are just thinking about how to phrase it...... Zhao Yun sorted out his thoughts for a moment and said, "The horse team is brave and extraordinary, it is really the only thing that Yun Pingsheng has seen, and it is a pity that the riding skills are still lacking." With time and hard work, you will be able to meet the requirements of the righteous camp. ”

Gongsun Chan understood this, Zhao Yun thought that Ma Jian was brave and brave, and he could be called a warrior, but his riding skills were not good and he failed to meet the requirements of the white horse Yicong, which made Gongsun Chan a little disappointed. Since yesterday's fiasco, Bai Ma Yicong has been hit hard, Yan zhòng has affected Gongsun Zhan's Hu Cong's defense, he needs to replenish fresh blood, and the eye-catching horse warrior naturally entered his sight, but it's a pity......

Gongsun Zhan sighed in his heart, and had to change the reward for killing the Jizhou military marquis Yuanjin by Tsushima.

"Ma Jinglong."

"The subordinates are here."

"Listen to the reward."

At this time, the soldier Cao Peng first bowed to Gongsun Zhan, then opened the book and read aloud: "The scout Qu Yitun team led the horses, and was promoted to the head of the scout Qu Yi Tun because of his merits. Jue promoted to two levels, rewarded with 10,000 dollars, three pieces of cloth, 20 cattle and sheep, 10 acres of land, and a number of ...... of wine and meat"

With yesterday's reward, today's reward is not much in the eyes of the horseman. The only thing I think is good is that he has been promoted to two levels of knighthood, promoted to a hundred generals, and is on the same level as Zhao Yun. However, Zhao Yun, the cavalry general, is the captain of the cavalry guards directly under the general, and the scout general of the horse warrior is just an ordinary patrol officer, which is incomparable.

But Ma Han didn't care, he became a hundred generals in just two days, be content! Well, since Gongsun Chan has the heart to let himself join the White Horse Yicong, it seems that he can make this request.

Ma Han immediately clasped his fists and saluted: "Ji Hou, my subordinates have something to ask for." ”

"Huh? What's the matter? ”

"My subordinates lack a strong bow that can be used properly."

White Horse Yicong was a famous archer cavalry during the Three Kingdoms period, and had high requirements for riding and archery skills. Originally, Zhao Yun's assessment of Ma Han should also include archery skills, but Ma Hu's riding skills are not proficient, so there is no need to test shooting skills - riding archery, riding archery, if riding skills are not good, it is useless to have good archery skills.

Gongsun Zhan nodded, and the cavalry general Zhao Yun praised this person's martial arts, presumably with great strength, so the conventionally issued military bow may not be competent. At the moment, he asked with interest: "How many stone bows can Ma Bai fire?" ”

Ma Han: "Which one is the strongest bow in the army, the subordinates will use that one." ”

Not only Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun, but also the four guards in the tent, also widened their eyes together, and then laughed dumbly, if it weren't for the military tent, I was afraid that someone would not help but laugh loudly: This kid's tone is too big, right? Aren't you afraid of the wind flashing your tongue? Even if you want to attract the attention of the thistle, you don't have to use such a clumsy method! Isn't he afraid of self-defeating?

"Good! Lonely admires the warrior who has faith in himself. Gongsun Zhanhao smiled and ordered Hu Cong to take his horn bow and give it to Ma Han, "If you can open this bow ten times within ten breaths, the bow will be yours." ”

Ma Hangu resigned: "Jihou Baogong, his subordinates dare not accept it." ”

Gongsun Zhan didn't care, and waved his big hand: "Gu Shang has a few good bows, if you can pull it away, it doesn't hurt to reward you." ”

But Ma Han's next sentence made Gongsun Chan angry.

What Ma Han said was: "The subordinates dare not destroy the Jihou Treasure Bow." ”

Gongsun Zhan glared at this unashamed boy, and said word by word: "If the bow is damaged, you will be not guilty." But if you can't open the bow twenty times within ten breaths, all the previous rewards will be forfeited! ”

A majestic man held a large bow in a leather bag in both hands and handed it to the horseman.

When Ma Han said this, he actually wanted to show his hand in front of Gongsun Zhan, so as not to be looked down upon by this white horse general who was supreme in force. In the barracks, the generals are the most important in the art of war, and the soldiers are the most important in martial arts. Ma Han, who has been fighting in the West for many years, has values close to Europe and the United States, and has never been proud of his clumsiness, and his strength is used to show.

When Ma Han's left palm put on the bow arm, he couldn't pull it under one grip. When I raised my eyes, I saw the look of abuse in my eyes.

Ma Han immediately put his right hand on the bow arm, made a bow and respectful gesture, and moved his right arm with the bow and the person together. If it weren't for Hu Cong's surprise and his timely release, he would almost have made a fool of himself.

Just in Gongsun Zhan's angry, Zhao Yun's worried, and Hu Cong's uncertain eyes, Ma Han calmly bent the bow to wind and tune the strings, and then held the bow handle in his left hand, and guided the strings in his right hand, slowly pulling it apart, like a full moon.

Gongsun Chan nodded slowly, his face looked a little better, but in the next moment, his expression froze.

Ma Han opened his bow and nodded to Gongsun Zhan, Zhao Yun and others. Then, the right arm tightened--tightened! A three-stone hard bow was broken in two by him.

Ma Han looked "terrified" and presented the broken bow: "My subordinates are guilty of damaging the treasure bow of Jihou, and I am willing to accept punishment." ”

Gongsun Zhan was shocked, and was surprised: "Good arm strength!" It can be called the first in the army, so it seems that a riding bow under five stones is not suitable for you. Gong Peng, you are in charge of the military reward, can you have a strong bow of more than five stones? ”

The soldier Cao Peng smiled bitterly and replied: "Marquis Ji, my subordinates have never heard that anyone in our army can use five stones to ride a bow, so this weapon is not made." ”

Gongsun Zhan sighed, looked at Ma Han with slight regret, and was about to speak, but saw Zhao Yun hugging his fists and said: "Lord, my subordinates know that there is a six-stone strong bow, but it is a step bow, which is a test instrument used to select Zhang crossbows." ”

"Bow of the Walk?" Gongsun Zhan looked his horse up and down, and laughed, "This son is more than eight feet long, even if he uses a foot bow, it will not affect his riding and shooting." The six-stone bow will belong to you, I just hope that you will practice the art of riding and archery, and become a lonely and righteous person as soon as possible. ”

"Xie Jihou!"

……

This is a six-stone recurve composite bow, the bow arm is made of the best wood in the bow making, the whole body is clear yellow, and the bow handle is soaked in sweat and finger palms to shine. The force required for this bow to be drawn once is equivalent to three hundred and sixty pounds now - and with one hand. The reason why it is called a step bow is because the length of the bow reaches one meter six, which is almost the same height as a human body. With such a length, it is very inconvenient to shoot on horseback, and more importantly, it is difficult to use force on the horse's back. Usually a cavalryman can shoot a bow a quarter less than if he was standing on the ground. In other words, you can open two stone bows on the ground, but you can only open one stone and five buckets when you get on the horse.

For Ma Han, there is no difference in the amount of power consumed to open a six-stone bow and a one-stone bow, but the range and penetration are very different. If you had these six-stone bows in your hand yesterday, how could you allow Yuan Jin to rush in front of you?

This bow is his first weapon to save his life and fight in the future, and he must test it well.

There are several drill grounds in the Youzhou military camp, where Ma Han and Zhao Yun compete in the morning, it is a cavalry training ground, and in the east and north, there are infantry training grounds and crossbow training grounds.

With a new strong bow, Ma Han went straight to the bow and crossbow training ground, followed by a small pebble holding two bags of twenty-four arrows.

The bow and crossbow training ground is a rectangular flat land about 200 paces wide and more than 300 paces long, and a gentle semi-circular hillside on the northwest side can block strong winds and ensure the stability and accuracy of shooting.

This place can accommodate 100 people at the same time to practice shooting, Gongsun Zhan's army is in the Han Dynasty, Hu Shen half, among which Karasuma people, Xianbei people are the majority, so there are many soldiers who are good at riding and shooting, and they are good at foot shooting more. At this time, it was the end of the morning exercise, which belonged to the time for personal scattering practice, and the bow and crossbow training ground was full of practicing archery soldiers. Due to the small number of target positions and the large number of practitioners who practiced shooting, most of the waiting soldiers were scattered in twos and threes.

When Ma Han entered, no one cared about it, but soon a sharp-eyed soldier recognized the big bow in his hand, which was the leopard bow that he had challenged to pull when selecting crossbowmen. The name "Leopard Bow" was privately given by the soldiers, because the soldiers believed that only the strength of the tiger and leopard could freely open this strong bow.

Wasn't this leopard bow kept by Bing Cao all the time, and it was only called out during force measurement, how did it get into this person's hands?

One, two, three...... More and more soldiers noticed the unusual large bow in the hand of the horseman, and gradually followed, until finally a semi-encirclement was formed, and the scene was like a general leading a servant boy and a large group of followers to the bow and crossbow training ground.

Before Ma Han came to the middle shooting position, there were shooters practicing here, but when he saw Ma Han's momentum, he was busy getting out of the way.

Ma Han ignored the louder and louder chatter behind him, and looked ahead, roughly visually, the nearest grass target was about thirty steps, followed by fifty steps, and then eighty steps and a hundred steps. The farthest range of the bow is this hundred paces, and beyond this distance, it is basically not lethal. In fact, this hundred-step target is just a decoration, because the strong archers who can shoot a hundred paces away in the army have long been transferred to the Yicong battalion or promoted to a hundred generals and military marquises, and there is a special shooting range there, which is not used here to compete with the lower-level soldiers for shooting positions (Ma Han is also a hundred generals, but he didn't know when he first came). There are also 120 paces, 150 steps, and 200 steps, all of which are within the range of a crossbow. Most of the crossbows used in Gongsun Zhan's army are Qingzhang crossbows, and 200 steps is the ultimate range of Qingzhang crossbows.

Ma Han considered it and set the target at 50 paces, which is a distance of nearly 70 meters, which is more suitable for the first test shot.

"Arrows." Ma Han reached back. Pebble hurriedly pulled out a feather arrow and presented it respectfully.

The arrow is on the string, and the bowstring is gradually drawn. The chatter of the soldiers behind him stopped abruptly, and without looking back, he knew that hundreds of pairs of eyes were fixed on his bow.

Crunch, as the bowstring was full, the bow was full moon, and there was a gasping sound behind him. Although no one dared to speak, the sound of hundreds of people snorting for cool air converged into an air flow that shocked the eardrums over the bow and crossbow training ground.

Ma Han carefully experienced the difference between this bow and the military crossbow and pulley bow he had used, and slowly regained the sense of capturing and locking on to long-range targets...... Well, yes, that's what it feels like!

Wherever the mind goes, the strings are loose and the arrows fly.

Burst! Excuse me!

An arrow hit the bull's-eye, and the powerful arrow penetrated the thick wooden board of the arrow target bound by the straw rope, and the remaining strength was inexhaustible, and flew out more than 20 steps, which could be obliquely inserted in front of the 80-step target position.

The onlookers exclaimed in unison, and a group of Karasuma people and Xianbei people surrounded Ma Han, gossiping and gesturing about something, but unfortunately Ma Han couldn't understand a word, just nodded with a smile.

Fifty steps to hit the bull's-eye is not bad, but at least half of the people present can do it. What these soldiers and the Hu people who are good at shooting admire is the power of the arrow. Imagine that on the battlefield, when the arrows fired by all the soldiers are blocked by the enemy's shields, this fierce and domineering arrow is enough to pierce the leather shield, break through the armor, and kill the enemy under the arrow.

It is a pleasure to be worshipped, but when these Hu people are no longer satisfied with verbal praise, but move their hands and feet, touch their arms, arms, and even body muscles, Ma Yan has a terrible chill, waves his hands, shakes his big bow, and roars: "Little pebble, arrows!" ”

"Yes, yes...... Come, master...... ......" The pebble laboriously squeezed in from the dense group of legs, and handed the arrow with both hands.

With this arrow, Ma Han had to shoot 80 paces, or 100 meters, which was his highest record in the past. With the first arrow, Ma Han is very confident, because his previous record is 110 yards, flying saucer rapid fire. Even if it hasn't completely run in with the leopard bow in his hand, the target is just a fixed target at the moment, and it should be fine.

Shout! The arrow went off the string and accurately hit the eighty-step grass target.

Trumpet! The grass target shattered in response, and the feather arrow flew out ten steps and fell diagonally to the ground.

"Woohoo ho!" The Hu people who worship the warrior complex danced and almost broke out.

And Ma Han shot with an arrow, immediately flashed out of the crowd, avoided the congestion in time, and strode towards the crossbow range, so as to get rid of the Hu people. There is no need to try the 100-step target of the archer range, and the 80-step target of Fang Cai did not hit the red heart, but deviated two inches to the right, and it seems that in terms of accuracy, it still needs to be strengthened. What he wanted to know most now was how far the bow could have its maximum range and effective range. The answer to this question will only be known in the long-range range test dedicated to crossbowmen.

However, when Ma Han pulled his bow again, he realized that things were not so simple: one hundred and twenty steps, which is equivalent to a long distance of one hundred and fifty meters, and what he was holding in his hand was not a familiar military crossbow, let alone a sniper rifle, but an ancient composite bow that had only been heated and had only shot two arrows. If it's just him training alone, it's not a big deal. But in front of everyone's eyes, just achieved convincing results, and in the blink of an eye, they were shattered with their own hands, which is also too embarrassing.

To shoot this arrow, to shoot or not to shoot?

Ma Han's heart is really difficult to decide, but the bowstring can only be pulled inch by inch, and only fifty percent of them are sure that they can hit the target. Bet on it, you don't have a choice.

Just as the arrow was about to leave the string, a melodious cornet sound was heard in the distance, accompanied by a crisp cloud plate knocking, which resounded throughout the camp.

"It's time to eat! It's time to eat! Let's go! ”

The onlookers dispersed in a hurry.

Ma Han let out a long breath, and the loose strings hung down the arrows—and for the first time, he realized that the sound of the trumpet of the meal was as moving.

PS: The "stone" of the Han Dynasty is far less than the "sincerity" of the stone in the Tang and Song dynasties, which is only half of the latter. The six-stone bow in the text is only equivalent to the three-stone bow in the Song Dynasty, that is, the level of the bow power opened by Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others.
