Chapter 573: Try it

"The Second Squadron of the Flying Leopard Battalion is conducting archery training, General Zhao, please instruct?!" The officer on duty quickly ran to Zhao Mengtu and stood upright, saluted and asked loudly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Find someone to get a bow and arrow of the lowest rank, and the others continue to train." Zhao Mengtu commanded.

"Yes, Zhang San, you go to the armory to get a bow and arrow, and the others continue to train." The officer on duty turned around and gave the order, and one soldier galloped away from the playground while the other soldiers continued the drill under the leadership of their respective captains.

"General Zhao, why do you want to take the lowest bow and arrow? Are you afraid I'll break it? "It will take a while to wait for the bow and arrow to be brought back, and waiting is also waiting, Tan Xiaotian asked curiously - what is going on on the playground is bow and arrow training, not only is everyone on the field have a bow in hand, but dozens of bows are neatly placed on the edge of the playground, perhaps for the sake of training safety, the feather arrows were not issued to the soldiers, but placed in more than a dozen quiver pots and kept by special people. Could it be that the bows and arrows here are more expensive or are there any secrets, afraid that they will be broken or leaked? No, if it is exquisite, how can it be so handful? If it is necessary to keep it secret and let so many people use it, who can guarantee that everyone will be able to keep their mouths shut?

"Haha, am I that stingy?" Hearing Tan Xiaotian's question, Zhao Mengtu laughed happily, if the army's standard bow and arrow were used so easily, the officers in charge of logistics support didn't know how many people would lose their heads.

"....., every day, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, just listen to General Zhao's arrangement." Zheng Jili said with some embarrassment - bows and arrows are controlled items outside, but they are one of the most basic equipment in the army, as long as the number of people in and out of the warehouse is right, they will be used badly, with Zhao Mengtu's level, can they worry about such a trivial matter?

"Uh......", Tan Xiaotian was still puzzled, but the master didn't let him ask, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, just ask if you don't understand, there's nothing bad." Zhao Mengtu said with a smile, teaching children is naturally different from training those big-headed soldiers, if those soldiers on the playground come to ask, they will be scolded at the lightest, and they may be kicked in the ass if they are heavy, for no other reason, the age is there, the same question, seven or eight years old children come to ask it is called naïve and cute, and adults in their teens and twenties come to ask it is called stupid and ignorant.

"......, although they are all called bows, but bows are also divided into hierarchical types, there are many ways to classify, from the size of the specifications can be divided into long bows, short bows, from the use of troops can be divided into foot bows, riding bows, according to the strength can be divided into light bows, hunting bows and strong bows, and the power of the bow and arrow is determined by the bow force, the so-called bow force, that is, the force needed to pull the bow apart, the greater the strength, the stronger the bow force, and the stronger the bow force, the farther the range, the greater the damage caused."

"......, the standard of bow strength is to fix the bow on the beam, and then drop heavy objects up and down the bowstring, in order to achieve the weight of the bow completely pulled apart, with seven buckets is seven buckets of bows, with eight buckets is eight buckets of bows, the bows used in the army are mainly divided into three classes, nine buckets for the first, eight buckets for the second, seven buckets for the third, a qualified archer must be able to use the bow of eight buckets within a hundred steps of the level of eight out of ten. The bow above the nine buckets is called a strong bow, the common one stone bow, two stone bows, three stone bows, can use two stone strong bows has very few, as for the three stone bows, it can be called a famous general, throughout the ages, the fingers can be counted, only a few people. Further up, there are four-stone bows and five-stone bows, but that is no longer meaningful, because even if you can pull it away, you can't aim at the target, so it's just a tool to practice arm strength. ”

"......, a small number of these soldiers on the playground are veterans who have been in the army for more than two years, and most of them are recruits who have been in the army for less than a year, and they basically use seven-bucket or eight-bucket bows, even so, some people have a hard time firing their bows ten times in a row, with your age, do you think they can pull their bows open?"

Zhao Mengtu was very interested and explained very patiently.

"Uh......, how do you know ...... if you don't try", after listening to Zhao Mengtu's explanation, Tan Xiaotian was a little vague in his heart, he didn't expect that there was so much knowledge here, when Teacher Yuan taught them to shoot arrows, they used bamboo, and there was no pressure at all when they opened the bow, but the farthest range was only about ten steps, and listening to Zhao Mengtu's meaning, the shortest range of the bow and arrow here should also reach about 100 steps, presumably the strength required to open the bow and the toys of the hour are completely two concepts, so although he didn't want to admit it, But this confidence is really empty.

"Heh, little one, it's quite kind, okay, just try it." Anyway, it is necessary to wait, there is nothing wrong with letting children try, Zhao Mengtu does not think that a seven or eight-year-old child can open the army's standard bow, even if it is a seven-bucket bow, you must know that you are born with divine power, and since you were a child, you have practiced martial arts under the supervision of your father, and you can easily use the eight-bucket bow at the age of eight, Tan Xiaotian is a child who learns to play Go, under normal circumstances, it is already rare to be able to pull the seven-bucket bow away at the age of thirteen or fourteen. It's okay to let the children suffer a little, life in the barracks is monotonous, just watch the drama and have fun.

At the moment, he ordered someone to bring a seven-bucket bow, first tried the bow strength by himself, and then pulled the frame to make a test model, and told the child the key points of action, and then handed the bow into Tan Xiaotian's hands.

With the bow in his hand, Tan Xiaotian first tried to pull the bowstring, which was hard and tight, much more laborious than trying to go to the center, and he had no bottom in his heart, but the big words were all said, and he couldn't be defeated without a fight, so he took a few deep breaths, and according to the essentials of the action that Zhao Mengtu said, he tied the horse step under his feet, pushed the bow with his left hand, and slowly pulled the string away with his right hand.

Oh, this kid really looks a little bit, as if he has practiced......

As soon as the connoisseur stretched out his hand, he knew if there was any, Zhao Mengtu had been practicing with several brothers since he was four or five years old, and now he has been twenty years younger, and he entered the military camp at the age of thirteen or fourteen, starting from the most basic level of the big head soldier, until he has grown into the current partial general, in terms of training, how poisonous the vision is, seeing that Tan Xiaotian's bow opening action is not standard, but the horse steps under his feet are very solid, more standard than many veterans who have been in the army for many years, and he can't help but be secretly surprised.

Zhao Mengtu here was thinking wildly, and Tan Xiaotian's attention was completely focused on the bow that was about to be pulled away, the bow of seven buckets, although it was ranked in the weakest position in the army's standard bow, but it was still a difficult peak for a seven or eight-year-old child, Tan Xiaotian's face was flushed, his teeth were clucking, and he finally let out a loud roar, and finally pulled the bow away completely, but he only lasted for less than a second, his strength was completely exhausted, his right hand could no longer hold the bowstring, his fingers loosened, and with a tense sound, the bow bounced up, flew out of Tan Xiaotian's hand.
