On the tower of the city, the cold wind is cold, the soldiers are holding their heads high, their spirits are vibrant, the flag is fluttering, and a capital Song character is majestic and majestic, hunting and hunting in the cold wind.

An army cannot always be on the defensive, and if it wants to become a strong army, it must have an offensive momentum like a wolf and a tiger.

Fang Yu put his hands behind his back and stared into the distance: "Ask military attache Yuan Da to come here to see me." ”

When he was young, Yuan Dacheng came to visit him with trepidation. Fang Yu asked, "General Ben asks you, you must answer truthfully." ”

"Yes!"

"I heard that your arm strength is amazing, but I don't know how many buckets of bow you can pull?"

Yuan Da couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, his arm strength was recognized as a divine power among the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and no one could break the record he had created so far. Thinking of this, he replied with a slight meaning: "If you go back to the adult, 270 city catties." ”

"How far is the range?"

"If you go back to your lordship, the range is 300 meters. ”

"Get up and speak. ”

"Master Xie. ”

"Tell me what weapons we have?"

For this, Yuan Da is naturally very familiar with it. With his introduction, Fang Yu learned that the bow was universal for infantry and cavalry, while the crossbow could only be used by infantry, and the crossbow could only be fired three or four times from the time the enemy cavalry entered the firing range to the time when the enemy cavalry was in short combat.

Speaking of this, Yuan Da boldly proposed: "My lord, my subordinates have a suggestion that I don't know if to talk about or not?"

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

"My subordinates thought that we could set up crossbowmen, crossbowmen, and crossbowmen to shorten the interval between firing arrows. ”

"That's right!" Fang Yu nodded.

There are two types of crossbows that stand out, one is the bed crossbow and the other is the divine arm bow. The bed crossbow is a heavy weapon, which relies on the combined force of several bows to shoot an arrow, often requiring dozens of people to pull the bow before it can be pulled, and the range can reach 500 meters. The Divine Arm Bow is also a crossbow equipped with traps, but it can be fired by a single person, has a range of more than 370 meters, and can penetrate heavy armor.

Fang Yu nodded, and asked again, "If the two armies face each other, how will you face each other?"

Yuan Da replied: "The sword and gun are in the front, and the bow and crossbow are in the back." ”

"Detailed explanation. ”

Yuan Da said that when the enemy approached to 300 meters, a divine arm archer stood up and shot at it, and if it could enter the enemy formation, the divine arm archers were all fired. When the enemy approaches to 200 meters, make a flat archer stand up and shoot at him, and if he can enter the enemy's position, he will shoot flat archers. When the enemy approached, the spearmen fought hand-to-hand with him.

"What if our army shoots the enemy general to death with a single arrow?"

Yuan Da replied: "The enemy army will be greatly wounded and defeated. ”

"So, the range is important, but the accuracy of the hit is even more important. After a pause, Fang Yu said, "Pass my order to set up a number of scarecrows in five hundred meters, 300 meters, and 200 meters respectively, as an invasion of the Liao army, and a stick of incense within a limited time, whoever shoots an arrow will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately!" Yuan Da bowed and retired.

At this time, a tactful and gentle voice sounded in his ears: "The concubine is seeing Lord Fang." ”

"The city tower is cold, and the lady is careful of getting cold. With that, Fang Yu took off his cloak and put it on for Yu Yan distressedly.

"Master Xie. Looking at her worried husband, she was quite strange, and couldn't help asking, "My lord is worried, somehow, can you talk to the concubine?"

"The lady doesn't know. ”

Fang Yu sighed and whispered, history says that this Song Dynasty weapon is acceptable, but the accuracy is greatly reduced. Blindly paying attention to the firing range, but not paying attention to accuracy, I am here today to confirm it, and second, it is also for training in preparation for actual combat.

Yu Yan took his arm, looked at the rolling mountains in the distance, and said, "Last night, you said that the Song Dynasty despised cavalry and liked to ride on foot, which is a major weakness, I don't know if there is a good strategy?"

"It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice. ”

Fang Yu let out a long sigh, the cavalry in the Song army accounted for only one-seventh of them, and there were often three or four out of ten horseless cavalry, while Luoyang was as high as eight or nine out of ten without horses. It's even harder to assemble a surprise army.

"Why don't you capture it from the enemy?"

Fang Yu smiled slightly: "What the lady said is very domineering. ”

Yu Yan smiled and said, "If the lord captures the war horse, can you give the concubine a horse?"

"The lady wants to learn to ride a horse?"

Yu Yan nodded, and Fang Yu suddenly added in a whisper in her ear: "If my wife learns to ride a horse, can she fight with me?"

Yu Yan pursed her lips and smiled: "Don't be shy, a dignified general, talk to others about Ma Zhen on the city tower, let others hear it, and be ashamed." ”

"Do others know what Ma Zhen is? This is a modern Internet word. I guess they don't even know what the Internet is. ”

"History is going in such a way that you can't compare the modern to the old. ”

"Stop, you just say it's okay, right?"

Fang Yu waved his hand, Lao Tzu didn't listen to your reasoning. If you want to be reasonable, Lao Tzu can't finish it in a day and a night. However, if you reason with a woman, especially your own wife, you are wrong in the first place.

"If you give a concubine a horse, the concubine is willing to try. ”

"Okay, this deal is done!" Fang Yu happily agreed. Such a good thing, how not to agree!

While talking and laughing, Yuan Da had already set up, went up to the city tower, and met his wife and adults. Yu Yan bowed slightly: "The concubine also wants to see the demeanor of my Great Song soldiers, I wonder if Lord Fang can agree?"

Fang Yu nodded, looking at the scarecrow from far and near: "If the Liao army attacks at this moment, how will my Great Song soldiers deal with it?"

"Bed crossbow ready!" Yuan Da gave the order, and the twenty soldiers immediately bent their bows and arrows, this "arrow" Yu Yan looked more like a spear, and it was difficult for her to imagine how this "spear" was launched. I saw the soldiers pull their bows with great difficulty—

"Target, 500-meter scarecrow!" I saw Yuan Da shout, and the command flag in his hand suddenly waved, "Launch!"

I only heard the "spear" "whoosh", like a black lightning bolt shot out, deep into the soil five or six meters away from the scarecrow.

"The enemy is already approaching 300 meters!" Fang Yu said.

"Divine arm bow ready!" Yuan Da's five soldiers immediately lined up, bent their bows and arrows, aiming at the scarecrow, only to hear a few "whoosh" sounds, Yuan Da's arrow grazed the scarecrow's "scalp" and whistled past, and the rest were out of bounds.

Fang Yu said: "The enemy is approaching to 200 meters!"

"Shoot the archers ready!" Yuan Da shouted, "Fire!"

In his ears, there was a "whoosh" sound, and thirty arrows shot at the scarecrow like a storm, but none of them hit.

"Report on the results. Fang Yu's face was a little ugly.

"General Qiyu, none of them hit. Yuan Da's face was hot, as if he had been slapped hard.

Fang Yu's expression was serious, and he ordered someone to light a stick of incense, and said: "Take one stick of incense as the time limit, shoot one shot, and reward one hundred taels of silver, if the time is up and there is still no hit, punish you, the leader, with thirty boards." ”

"The subordinates have an order!" Yuan Da said loudly, "If the Liao army really kills it, Luoyang City will be threatened, and the lives of the people will be threatened!

Watching the arrows flying in the air, Yu Yan's skills were unbearable, and she begged her husband: "Husband......" is going to die, it's called Shunkou, you can't call it that way in a crowded place. She hurriedly stopped the car and changed her words, "My lord, the concubine also wants to try it, and I beg your grace." ”

"No!" Fang Yu didn't reply, and decisively refused, "This is training, isn't it child's play!"

"I'm sorry my lord, the concubine has retired. Yu Yan knew that he would refuse, so she was not angry, and turned around to say goodbye after a while.

Fang Yu nodded without replying, looking at the rain of arrows one after another, his brows were deeply locked, he didn't say anything on his lips, he had already scolded in his heart.

Looking at the shorter and shorter incense in the incense burner, Yuan Da's face became more and more ugly. Half of the time has passed, and so far, none of them have hit.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in Yuan Da's ears: "Leader, subordinates want to join the war!"

Is it a woman's voice? Yuan Da turned around in astonishment and saw Yu Yan wearing a soldier's costume and standing there with a serious face.

"Mrs. Fang, this ......"

"I'm not Mrs. Fang now, I'm your soldier!" Yu Yan said, "It's not just your responsibility to protect Luoyang, any able-bodied person can do his part!"

The reason is right, but after all, she is the wife of an adult, and for a while, Yuan Da didn't know what to do: "This ......"

"It is the duty of you and me to go into battle to kill the enemy, so naturally we should not let it go. This request is granted!"

Seeing that the adult was gracious, Yuan Da had no choice but to agree, but who knew that Yu Yan snatched the bow in his hand. You know, this bow can be pulled away by very many people, how can a weak woman use it? Don't hurt your body and lose face.

Thinking so, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but was stopped by Fang Yu.

"My lord, this bow ......"

Fang Yu smiled slightly: "Don't underestimate her." ”

Yu Yan tried, the bowstring really felt heavy, and Yuan Da's arm strength was really extraordinary. She secretly lucked, hitched on the bow and arrows, and suddenly pulled the bow full!

Yuan Da was taken aback, and couldn't help shouting: "Okay!"

Oh my God, this bow, in the barracks, no one else can think of it except for himself. Who knows, but on this city tower, she was pulled away by the stunning Mrs. Fang in front of her, which is simply incredible.

The first arrow, missed.

Seeing that Yu Yan's posture was wrong, Yuan Da stepped forward and reminded the essentials in a whisper: "The body method should also be upright, don't shrink your neck, don't show your arms, don't bend over, don't probe forward, don't lean back, don't stand up, use force calmly, draw the bow to get the method, set the arrow calmly, push forward and backward, and the bow is full." That's the gist. ”

The second arrow missed again, but it was closer to the scarecrow, and Yu Yan nodded thoughtfully.

The third arrow, grazing the scarecrow's scalp, flew by.

The fourth arrow, next to the scarecrow's arm, flew by.

Three arrows were shot, and Yu Yan had a number in her heart.

"Liao Army, dare to invade my Great Song Dynasty, today, you will definitely have no return!" Yu Yan took the arrow and bent the bow, and suddenly shouted, "Shoot your head!"

The sound of "whoosh", impartiality, really hit the head of the scarecrow. Yuan Da couldn't help but cheer: "Good!"

As soon as the words fell, I heard Yu Yan say again: "Is there no one to bully me, shoot your legs, and make you lame!"

Another "whoosh", and sure enough, shot the scarecrow's left leg.

"Good archery!" Yuan Da sincerely admired.

He always thought that killing Wang Jixun might just be a coincidence, or that Wang Jixun was negligent and overly underestimated the enemy. Before that, it was difficult for him to associate such a beautiful woman with a peerless master.

The wind blew on Yu Yan's pretty face, blowing up her hair, but it couldn't blow away her gaze. Looking at her sassy and heroic posture, Yuan Da nodded in admiration, asked for another bow and arrow, and practiced next to her.

His crosshairs are much worse than Yu Yan's, and being able to hit two or three arrows out of ten is already good.

"It's time!" Fang Yu's voice was filled with anger, "Let's take a look at the results, how many arrows have you hit?" you know, this is a scarecrow, standing still, if you rush over on a horse, what will happen to the scene?"

Yuan Da lowered his head and said dejectedly: "My lord, my subordinates are incompetent, I implore you to punish me." ”

Fang Yu said: "Give you a chance to make up for your mistakes, do you want to?"

He saw that Yuan Da's arm strength was amazing and he had some prestige among the soldiers, so he wanted to deliberately promote him: "If you can train all the archers to be archers within a month, I will bring you as my deputy to live in the General's Mansion, you and I will call you brothers and sisters, and eat and drink together." ”

Yuan Da was taken aback, this temptation is really not small, but it is also quite difficult. He looked at Fang Yu in a daze, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

"Today, next month, is the time for me to check. If you don't make it by then, but you have made great progress, I won't punish you. ”

Fang Yu said, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said, "I'm waiting for you in the mansion, I believe that we can become brothers!"

The last sentence immediately brought tears to Yuan Da's eyes. Looking at Fang Yu's back, Yuan Da clenched his fists and roared loudly: "Today next month, I will definitely be your brother!"

The husband is really good at doing things, in this way, he has trained soldiers and made good friends, it is really a double win, the person he likes will definitely not be wrong, why don't I also come and do it?" Yu Yan smiled and said: "I am in the same boat with Lord Fang through thick and thin, sharing weal and woe, and his brother is my brother." In terms of age, he should be the eldest brother, you are the second brother, and I am the third sister. I'm waiting for you, and then we'll have a Luoyang Sanjieyi. ”

"Mrs. Fang, this is going to torment your subordinates......"

"The big husband doesn't need a mother-in-law to do things, it's decided. I'll go pack up my room, get some furniture, and I'll be waiting for you!"

"Thanks to the Lord and Mrs. who can afford it, my subordinates will definitely do their best!"

Yuan Da turned his heart sideways and let it go. In the first half of the month, he set up a scarecrow to train the "dead target". Seeing that the shooters were almost there, they changed to cattle and sheep again. The cattle and sheep were tied to the ground, and long ropes were laid, and when the animals were frightened, they ran around the ropes. Later, a fence was made, the cattle and sheep were marked, all were encircled, the ropes were untied, and several scarecrows were erected.

He said that if you shoot an ox, you can't shoot anything else, and that whoever shoots the wrong one will be punished with three strokes, and those who can't shoot will be punished with ten strokes.

Soon, the January deadline had arrived.

Fang Yu climbed the city tower again, the flags fluttered, the soldiers were in high spirits, and unlike before, he felt a majestic atmosphere.

Yuan Da still has a set of training soldiers, and this person is indeed a manufacturable material.

Yuan Da walked over, clenched his fists and said, "Please inspect it!"

Fang Yu said, "I hope this is the last time you call me Lord." ”

Yu Yan said: "I also hope to call you second brother in the future." ”

Yu Yan looked around, and saw that there was a circle at 500 meters, and ten sheep were running wildly in the circle, and at 300 meters, there was also a circle, and ten sheep were in the circle, and the same was true at 200 meters.

Yuan Da asked: "I don't know if it's possible to set it up like this?"

Fang Yu nodded: "That's very good." ”

Yuan Da asked again: "Is it possible to start?"

Fang Yu nodded.

Yuan Da responded and said loudly: "Ten arrows per group, bed crossbow preparation, target, 500 meters of sheep tied with red rope, launch!"

With a "whoosh", a sheep fell in response.

"Divine arm bow ready, 300 meters of sheep tied with red ropes, launch!"

With a "whoosh", it accurately hit the target.

"Flat archers prepare, 200 meters of sheep tied with red ropes, launch!"

With a "whoosh", he shot the target accurately again.

One round of fighting, three shots and three hits. Fang Yu's expression stretched slightly, but his expression was still serious: "I thought it was an accident, just luck." And how do you prove that what I say is wrong?"

"Please continue to verify with your adult verification. ”

The second round ended quickly with three shots and three hits, and the third round ended quickly with three shots and three hits...... Every time she hit an arrow, Yu Yan shouted "good" and applauded vigorously.

After ten rounds, Yuan Da reported the results: "Lord Qiyu, seven out of ten crossbows in bed, nine out of ten in the divine arm bow, and all ten shots in the flat archer." ”

Fang Yu asked, "Are you satisfied with this result?"

"I've done my best, but I can improve a little bit. ”

"The results are already extraordinary, but the daily training should not be delayed, and it needs to be the same. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Fang Yu suddenly laughed: "Come with me!" As he spoke, in front of all the soldiers, he pulled up Yuan Da and went down to the city tower, it turned out that the following had already been furnished.

A table with three bowls of wine. An incense burner, one incense per person, slaughter the rooster, and put a little blood into each bowl.

The three of them faced south, knelt on their knees, and only heard Fang Yu say loudly: "The emperor is above, the earth is the proof, my Fang Yu-"

"The emperor is above, and the earth is the proof, I, Yuan Da-"

"The emperor is above, and the earth is the proof, I, Jin Yuyan-"

"If you make this righteous conclusion again, from now on, you will share the blessings and hardships, and the heavens and the earth will be visible!

Yu Yan said: "The third sister has seen the eldest brother and the second brother. ”

Yuan Dadao: "I've seen the third sister, the eldest brother is good!"

Fang Yu said: "From today on, you and I will live and die together, share hardships, and wealth together!"

The three shook hands and looked up to the sky and laughed.
