The mansion of the old squire of the military department.

"Master, there is a secret report." A guard handed the old squire a piece of information and bowed back.

The old waiter pinched the information, fixed his mind, and then opened it to check.

Intelligence shows that the latest batch of weapons of the Ordnance Bureau has been transported to the newly established experimental site of the Ministry of Industry, and General Lu Yi is leading people to test it.

"Hey, ha~~~ It's time." If Lu Yi stayed in the Acropolis camp, the old squire would never have done it, but now that Lu Yi was assigned to test weapons, it can be said that it was a godsend.

After all, the experimental field is not a barracks, and no matter what you do, it is better to operate.

In this regard, the old waiter could only sigh helplessly, "If the destiny is like this, then don't blame the old man for being ruthless!" ”

"Someone's coming!" Although the old waiter is old, he also went to the battlefield when he was young, and this voice is quite a bit of style back then.

"Yes!" Outside, the response sound was uniform and sonorous.

The old waiter pushed open the door, and there were already more than 20 heavily armed guards standing, and some were gathering in the courtyard from all directions, and in the end, there were about 100 people.

The dignified court waiter, there is naturally no shortage of manpower under his hands, not to mention that the old waiter is still a waiter in the military department.

Not to mention more than 100 people, even if it is doubled, it is not impossible to take it, but this is the capital after all, and it is not appropriate to act too publicly.

The old squire nodded, and looked into the past one by one, saying that it was a military parade, but it was better to worry about the future of these guards.

In the past of this wave, no matter what the situation is, winning or losing, they are all more than lucky.

The old squire personally sorted out the clothes for them one by one, and the atmosphere was solemn and warm, these people were all his cronies, some veterans who had fought with him, and some of the veterans' sons and even grandsons.

"Huh? Didn't you want to protect Zen'er? "The old waiter was a little surprised, why did Zen'er's guards also come?

This so-called Zen is the most promising grandson of the old squire, ten years old this year, smart and clever, and can be said to be the hope of the family's future.

Because the second generation of the family is a waste that can't be supported by mud on the wall, the old waiter can only point to this grandson.

However, judging from his age, I'm afraid he won't have a chance to see him.

Fortunately, an agreement was reached with that adult, and with Zen'er's astuteness and the care of that adult, there is not no chance to shine the lintel in the future and revitalize the family again.

"It was Zen Gongzi who asked us to come, and Gongzi said that if he can't succeed this time, his future will be gone." The guard replied.

"Huh?" The old waiter subconsciously felt that something was wrong, after all, Zen'er was only ten years old, no matter how smart he was, he shouldn't understand these things when no one taught him.

Could it be that someone is instigating it behind the scenes? …… The old waiter's spirit was shocked, not only was he not angry, but he was a little relieved.

There are not many people who can contact Zen'er, either the adult made a move, or the second generation of the family actually has the ability to hide, no matter what it is, it is a gratifying thing.

As for the bad thoughts, the old waiter didn't dare to think about it, it was a plan to break the cauldron, and it was useless to think about it, "Okay, then let's go together!" ”

The old waiter calculated the time and felt that it was best to act in the evening, when everyone who should get off work was off work, and it was not easy to run into acquaintances, so as not to cause trouble.

…………

Ministry of Engineering Experimental Field.

"Don't be busy collecting weapons first, practice while it's still dark."

Lu Yi is a martial idiot, but it doesn't mean that the wrestlers in the Huotou Battalion are also martial idiots, during this period of close to the "holiday", some people have soared in weight and look a little obese.

Lux size, you can have a big belly, but you can't always shoot a thousand waves, right? Outrageous!

"Whoa." There are more than 100 wrestlers, some practice knives, some practice guns, and even jump over the wall, Lu Yi shook his head, he couldn't see it.

This batch is all new weapons, and it hasn't changed much as before, but it's really better to use, and the lethality is also greater.

Lu Yi walked around, preparing to practice archery, judging from the preparation of the Ordnance Bureau, bows and arrows are undoubtedly the top priority.

In other words, if you want to make great contributions in the next Wu-Yue War, superb archery skills are a must.

Whoosh~~~

Lu Yi picked up the standard bamboo bow and shot directly into an arrow basket, and those within one hundred and twenty steps were still alive, and those farther away were a little outrageous.

Shaking his head, Lu Yi put down his bow and arrows dissatisfied, "These arrows are a little ...... Bad! ”

It's not really that he's making excuses, it's not that his archery skills are rusty, it's really a problem with the arrows.

The arrows were bare-ended and devoid of feathers.

Bows and arrows are very important long-range strike weapons in ancient times, which are used by both the common people and the army, and are very common.

Well, modern people must have seen it less, but arrows often appear in costume film and television dramas, and everyone should have seen it.

Friends who are interested may find that the arrows are loaded with feathers at the ends, which are called arrow feathers.

However, it should be noted that in ancient times, feathers were not so easy to obtain, so the arrows of the "bald tail" were the mainstream, and there were more of them.

In many wars, the army's arrows are devoid of arrows, because the number of arrows used by the army is too large, and the consumption of arrows in combat use is also very large.

If you add feathers to each arrow, it will undoubtedly be very troublesome, and the cost of making arrows will also rise significantly (the point is that Ma Shangshu disagrees).

However, the feathers are very important in the construction of the arrows.

For ordinary soldiers, the most important part of the arrow is the arrow and the shaft, and the arrow feather makes people feel a little redundant.

That's right, intuitively, the feathers add weight to the arrow itself, create drag, and don't make the arrow more aerodynamic and fly faster.

So why install it?

This is because, for the marksman, it is more important to shoot the target and then seek speed.

Arrow feathers can do just that.

An arrow, if it is not equipped with feathers, then it will "twist" during flight, and it is easy to deviate from the direction due to the influence of air currents, which is very unstable.

However, if the arrow feathers are installed, the feathers can produce little resistance and play a role in stabilizing the arrows.

The overall impact of air on the arrow is minimized, which in turn maintains the trajectory of motion, making it easier for the arrow to hit the target.

To put it bluntly, feathers can't make arrows fly faster, but they can shoot more accurately.

For marksmen, arrows with feathers are fast enough and can shoot more accurately, so of course I hope that the arrows will be feathered.

This is also the reason for Lu Yi's dissatisfaction, strictly speaking, he should be regarded as a marksman, which is different from the requirements of ordinary archers.

However, Lu Zhi's design is not a problem at all, this batch of bows and arrows pursues the word "fast".

After all, according to tactical requirements, once a "rain of arrows" is formed, it doesn't matter whether it is accurate or not.
