Chapter 52: Mighty and mighty
The venue of the bow test meeting was chosen on the rocky slope not far from the camp.
The terrain is flat and open, with almost no shelter, making it ideal for bow and arrow drills.
In fact, there is a practice ground for archery in the Qingzhou camp, but it is based on a bow and arrow with a range of 200 steps, that is, the farthest target is only 200 steps, so there is no way to test the power of the new bow.
At this time, countless soldiers gathered here, all looking forward to it.
Fu Tingye, Qin Lao Wu and other generals also waited quietly with solemn expressions.
Craftsmen are carefully calculating distances, marking them with flags every fifty paces, and a total of ten small flags are placed.
Liang Wensheng and Hua Qingxue were putting the finishing touches on the ten bows and arrows that had been carefully selected.
Hai Shixuan walked over and brought ten soldiers behind him, each of whom was strong and strong.
"Miss Hua, Liang Jian Zuo, someone brought it."
"Thank you for your hard work." Hua Qingxue hurriedly thanked him, his eyes fell on the ten soldiers behind him, and his expression froze slightly.
"But what's wrong?" Hai Shixuan is the best at observing words and feelings, and when he saw that Hua Qingxue's expression was wrong, he immediately asked.
Hua Qingxue nodded lightly and said hesitantly: "Candidate...... There may be something inappropriate. β
Hai Shixuan turned to look at the soldiers he brought, and was puzzled for a moment, "...... Miss Hua doesn't think it's strong enough? Not enough to pull these bows? β
"Lord Hai misunderstood." Hua Qingxue hurriedly explained, "These soldiers are naturally mighty, but we tried the bow this time, mainly to test its practical value, so I think ...... Should the candidates be changed again? After all, not all the soldiers in the barracks were such strong soldiers, I felt tall, short, thin, fat, strong, weak...... You should try it all. β
Liang Wensheng nodded again and again, "What Miss Hua said is that it should be like this, let each person shoot three times in a row, and finally take the middle number, so that the results of the trial are valuable." β
Hai Shixuan was a little embarrassed, he looked at Hua Qingxue, and then at the general who was sitting on the general's chair not far away, and finally couldn't hold back, and said to Hua Qingxue in a low voice: "Miss Hua, will this be a little inappropriate?" β¦β¦ Are you sure to let the old and weak soldiers come up too? If it affects the final range, I'm afraid it won't end well......"
"Don't worry, Lord Hai." Hua Qingxue smiled slightly, her eyes calm.
Hai Shixuan saw that Hua Qingxue looked confident, but he still had some drumming in his heart, thought about it, said "Wait a minute", and turned around and went to Fu Tingye.
A moment later, Hai Shixuan returned quickly, leaving two of the ten strong soldiers behind, and taking the remaining eight with all.
There were people in the crowd who didn't know what was going on, and they couldn't figure out what was going on.
It didn't take long to see Hai Shixuan bring a new wave of people back, and the crowd exploded!
Because of this wave of people brought by Hai Shixuan, they are really tall, short, fat, thin, old and young, strong and weak!
- What's going on? What the hell!
Young Eunuch Wei naturally saw this scene, he looked in the direction of Fu Tingye quietly, but did not see any reaction, and then looked at Hua Qingxue, sneering in his heart: I can't help myself.
Of course, tall, short, fat, thin, old and young, strong and weak are only comparisons.
After all, these soldiers will only enter the barracks after selection, and if they are placed in the ordinary population, they are definitely not weak, but compared with those strong elite soldiers just now, it is a little insufficient.
Because of their relatively poor physical fitness, these soldiers are usually placed in some unimportant positions on the real battlefield, and today they were suddenly selected to test the bow, and it was inevitable that they would show a nervous look.
The first soldier to try the bow was shorter and thinner, and looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, a very young man.
Liang Wensheng asked him to pick one of the ten bows, and then handed him three arrows, "Come on!" Four hundred steps! β
The young man's hand with the bow trembled.
Hua Qingxue said softly: "Just like when you train every day, don't be too stressed." β
The young man nodded with a stiff face, still looking very nervous.
He took a deep breath and drew his bow to aim at the farthest flagβ
Everyone's eyes were focused on the arrow he was about to shoot in his hand.
The palms of his hands were already soaked unconsciously, but in the cold weather, he was sweating all over his head, beads of sweat slipped down, wet his eyelashes, and he was very astringent in the blink of an eye.
Little by little, he was still aiming.
There was silence all around, and the bow was drawn little by little...... Everyone held their breath.
Shoot!
- Bang!
The crowd was in an uproar!
The arrow was crooked to one side, and it was planted at a very close point! I'm afraid that I can't even reach a distance of seventy or eighty steps!
The soldiers talked a lot, and there was even laughter, because the scene was too funny!
I swore that I would make a bow and arrow with a range of 400 paces, but now I have arranged it so ceremoniously that it turns out to be as ugly as a dog eating! How ridiculous!
The young man who shot the arrow instantly panicked, looked at Hua Qingxue in embarrassment, and explained, "...... Me, I...... I just slipped my hand......"
Liang Wensheng looked at the soldiers behind him who were talking about it, and he was in a very bad mood.
Do you slip your hands at such a critical time? Where's the cheat?!
Hua Qingxue comforted the other party with a good temper: "It's okay, there are still two arrows, don't be nervous, take your time......"
At this time, the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent.
All voices came to an abrupt halt.
Hua Qingxue couldn't help but look up, only to see that Fu Tingye had already left his seat and came with a heavy step, his actions were majestic, and he looked particularly ...... Handsome.
Hua Qingxue looked away, embarrassed to look more.
I secretly wondered if I had stayed in ancient times for too long, and even my aesthetic taste had changed? With a handful of beards, she couldn't see her appearance at all, and she was still excited......
Fu Tingye's pace was steady and fast, and he quickly approached.
Without saying a word, he picked out one from the bow prepared by Liang Wensheng, and shot it with an arrow!
Sou! ββ
The feather arrow pierced the air and flew straight out!
Until you pass through the banner and plunge into the rocks!
β¦β¦ There was silence.
Not a single person spoke.
Fu Tingye turned around, handed the bow to the young man who had just shot the arrow, and said in a deep voice with undiminished majesty: "How does the bow and crossbow battalion train on weekdays? Your back is not straight, how can you shoot an arrow?! β
The young man was genuinely terrified.
Liang Wensheng took a sip and kicked the leg of a craftsman next to him, "Why are you stupid?" Why don't you go and measure the distance?! β
ββ¦β¦ Oh! Oh, yes! β¦β¦β
A few craftsmen ran away with ropes and flags on their backs!
They ran farther and farther, and finally their figures became smaller, standing in the distance for a while, and then raising the flag in their hands and waving different movements.
Liang Wensheng saw the movements of those flags clearly, and jumped three feet high excitedly! Shouted: "The general shot six hundred steps!" Six hundred steps!! β
They now use a bow of up to 200 paces, so it's tripled now?!
The crowd exploded in an instant!
Everyone erupted in loud cheers!
"The general is mighty! The general is mighty! Mighty!!! βββ
In a deafening shout, Fu Tingye didn't say anything, only silently held Hua Qingxue's hand.
He looked directly at the shooting range and whispered, "Let's keep watching." β
It seems to be a casual sentence, but it is like a reassuring pill that drills into her stomach, making her feel at ease, relieved, and relieved.
Hua Qingxue blushed with shame, looked up embarrassed, and didn't care about watching people shoot arrows, so she heard Liang Wensheng next to her shout again: "Three hundred and fifty steps!" β¦β¦ Four hundred and twenty steps! Ahhh - More than 400 !! β
The onlookers are boiling again!
Compared to the great general's bravery, it is unbelievable that a short and weak soldier can shoot a distance of three hundred and fifty paces and four hundred and twenty paces!!
You know, these soldiers are the bottom of the barracks!
What could be better than the fact that even a soldier at the bottom could shoot four hundred paces away?!
The soldiers who followed also tried their bows one by oneβ
Three hundred steps, four hundred steps, even five hundred steps!
Liang Wensheng was numb with excitement in the end!
In the end, after a calculation, except for the shit score of the first young man who slid out of 70 steps, the worst of the others was about 300 steps, and the two strongest elite soldiers all broke through 500 steps!
Fu Tingye's lieutenants couldn't sit still, and they all came over to pick up those bows and watched them repeatedly, amazed.
"It's a magic bow!" Someone sighed.
Fu Tingye was in a happy mood and said loudly: "To be able to get this bow, Miss Hua has made great contributions!" β
Qin Lao Wu was impressed by Hua Qingxue, and praised on the spot: "What the general said is very true! Miss Hua is really mighty! β
"Mighty! Mighty! β
Immediately someone among the soldiers chimed in, and then they joined together!
"Miss Hua is mighty! Miss Hua is mighty! β
"Miss Hua is mighty! Mighty!!! βββ
Hua Qingxue was extremely embarrassed, and hid behind Fu Tingye in embarrassment.
Those soldiers didn't know if it was intentional or not, but they shouted even louder!
β¦β¦
When Master Xu saw the scene in front of him, his heart was also extremely shaken, and he said to himself: "It really became a ...... A bow with a range of four hundred paces and a bow of five hundred paces...... It's really a ...... I will surely become the most invincible archer in the world in the future! β
He turned his head to Young Eunuch Wei and said, "Lord Wei, I think this Hua girl is really extraordinary...... Lord Wei?! You...... Are you alright? β
Young Eunuch Wei's face was pale, and he sat in his position with a stunned expression, and the corners of his drooping eyes drooped, making him look even older.
"She actually did ......," he muttered.
"Yes, this Hua girl is really unexpected!" The master of the bookkeeper sighed with emotion, "I don't know what kind of daughter of a family is so smart, could it be the Mo clan that is rumored to specialize in skilled craftsmen......"
Young Eunuch Wei didn't seem to be able to hear, and was still muttering, "She really did it...... How is this possible...... How could it be ......"
All around was the sound of cheering.
One after another, soldiers came forward to say that they wanted to try a new bow, Fu Tingye agreed to all of them, and there was a rain of arrows on the shooting range, so lively!
Fu Tingye did not shy away from suspicion, held Hua Qingxue's hand tightly, and asked: "When the knife on Blacksmith Liu's side is completed, I will send the knife and bow to Shengjing, and let the emperor reward you, what do you want?" β
