Chapter 144: The Secret - Xia Ji Eight Shots
"Do you know how to shoot arrows?" Eckert continued to test Mordred. This young knight, who had not long joined the Knights of the Round Table and was still at the bottom of the Round Table, made him very valuable. To have such fresh blood injected into the round table, he can also feel a little relieved that there are successors.
The younger generation of knights, including Mordred, Galahad, and others, is not much more than the old knights who have been famous for a long time.
"No, it won't." Mordred shook her head.
A scrap wood named Nobita once said, "I can only play with ropes." The same applies to Mordred. Mordred really doesn't know how to play any weapon except for a big sword.
"Old man, I think you're embarrassing me Mordred!" Saying this in the tone of a certain child king, Mordred was secretly refreshed.
"No......" Eckert was choked by Mordred's anger, no one had ever dared to talk to him at such an age. Surprised, Eckert couldn't say a word for a while.
At the end of the day, Eckert asked Mordred if he would make the bow straight.
Bow and arrow skills, as the Celts' housekeeping skills, will not shoot a few arrows and lose the dead. In the environment of the whole people's fanatical practice of archery, even those who can't shoot arrows are rare.
Until later generations, the fame of the Celtic longbow remained undiminished. It's no wonder that Britain will have a forgiving green robber who is good at bows and arrows ♂ in the future. (@罗宾汉)
Speaking of which, it was the invaders and Saxons who spread the bow and arrow to Britain.
When the Saxons first came to settle in the kingdom under King Vortiger and started a war with the Bretons (the ancestors of the Celts), there was no other weapon than their bows, which they had never seen before, and were horrified.
As a result, the inhabitants of the British Isles still learned the art of making bows and arrows and practiced the art of archery.
The Celtic warriors, in the writings of their sworn enemies, the Romans, were never known for their use of bows. Julius. When Caesar led a Roman legion to the sands of Britain for the first time in 55 BC, the indigo-blue Britons were still attacking with a dense array of javelins, armed with clashing chariots, two weapons that lagged behind their mainland counterparts. In the battle of the mountain pass fortresses in the western part of the interior, slings were used more often.
Generations of Celts have learned from the brink that the people of Britain have become proficient in bows and arrows. This invasion of the Roman Empire was saved from being defeated by the Roman cavalry in the first round of the attack thanks to the bows.
Speaking of the longbows of the English and their lethal shooting tactics, these seemingly low-key and unremarkable archer forces in history eventually evolved and became the national archery culture of England.
"Old man, it's not that I don't tell you when you're depressed." Mordred comforted Eckert. She was afraid that one would accidentally make the old man angry with God.
She dragged a special Celtic longbow that hung on the wall of Kay's house and walked out into the courtyard.
"Let me show you the secret technique of labor and management 'Natsuhime Eight Shots'!"
"Father." Kay looked at Eckert.
I saw the old knight nod and said, "Let him try." ”
"Ding, ding, ding!" With the sound of arrows hitting objects, arrows were stuck in Kai's yard on the walls and ground of Kai's house.
After firing seven arrows in a row, Mordred picked up the last arrow and shot it out.
"Whew!" The little yellow dog who came to the yard was gloriously recruited.
"Little Yellow!" Seeing this, Kai pounced on the dog and cried.
Mordred knew she was in trouble. Merlin followed, cast a healing spell, and the puppy jumped around again.
The dog's intrusion reminded Mordred of the terrier he had named "Gawain". It's a pity that Tristan was too reluctant to go to the fiefdom and took "Gawain" away.
Now that I think about it, Tristan and "Gawain" are indeed a good match.
"This is the archery you just blew endlessly?" Kai questioned. Merlin also looked at Mordred strangely.
"I didn't blow it. You told me to try it. The more Mordred spoke, the more unconfident he became: "My archery skills are called blind shooting." ”
