"Your Highness, the main thing to do with the bow is "strength", and the real difficulty is not to shoot the bow, but the timing of the arrow. ”

"Because horseback is undulating like a wave, it is necessary to find a suitable release point to guarantee the shooting of the enemy."

Lu Wenzhao taught Zhu Youzhen, and with the previous two teachings, he knew Zhu Youzhen's talent better, so he spoke more carefully.

"Mounted shooting is definitely much worse than foot shooting, but it's hard but it's not as hard as people think."

"Presumably, when His Highness galloped just now, he should have discovered that the war horse has a leaping time in the air."

"This time is also the time to get up in the middle of the sit-up, and there will be a hover the moment you reach the highest point and are ready to go down, and this instant release can reduce the impact of the horse's back undulation a lot."

"Well, I do feel it." Zhu Youzhen nodded, and Lu Wenzhao also continued:

"The cavalry of the border army, the archers who can often shoot the bow of the nine forces, can shoot arrows at any time, which really requires kung fu."

"As for the left and right bow, back bow shooting, return fire, etc., these shooting techniques are very difficult, but this thing is definitely not the main technique on the battlefield."

"Unless the army is chasing the opposing cavalry, it is still a little useful when shooting while running, but this is basically equivalent to acrobatics, and the hit rate will be extremely low if the distance is a little farther."

"The role of the light cavalry is to tempt and harass, which is also the favorite way of Tang Taizong Li Shimin."

"Every time the two armies faced each other, Li Shimin would personally lead the light cavalry to sweep through the enemy formation to test the enemy's reality, and he would also shoot arrows in the process."

"The bow of mounted archery must have more strength than the infantry bow in order to achieve the power of infantry shooting, so mounted archery cannot shoot the opponent against infantry archery."

"As long as you wear armor, unless you hit the cheek, even if you shoot the opponent, you won't be able to penetrate the armor."

Lu Wenzhao specifically talked about the difference between mounted archery and infantry shooting, and also talked about the power of mounted archery and infantry shooting, and mounted archery is not comparable to infantry shooting.

Often with the same bow, infantry can shoot 80 paces, and cavalry only 60 paces, so the most important thing for cavalry is mobility and harassment.

Zhu Youzhen had read so many military books and had chatted with Man Gui a few words, so he also knew that normally, the light cavalry mainly looked for weaknesses around the enemy's military formation.

If the light cavalry thought that there was an opportunity to take advantage of something, they would try to shoot a few rounds to probe the truth.

They would speed their horses to the maximum and shoot arrows in a projectile manner.

Such a projectile range is completely capable of harassing outside the range of the enemy's bow and arrow.

If the enemy's formation is harassed, then they are likely to find a weakness in the formation, and then the master will mobilize the heavy cavalry behind to attack this weakness.

It doesn't matter if the enemy's formation doesn't react at all, anyway, the light cavalry is highly mobile, so it's good to change positions and try again.

Moreover, such a temptation does not necessarily mean that only one light cavalry is sent out to test it, the main general can send multiple light cavalry to test everywhere or even test repeatedly.

Unless the enemy's formation is really monolithic, as long as there is a loophole, he will soon be tempted, with such a tactic, Tang Taizong Li Shimin can find a suitable breakthrough in almost every battle in history, and then the elite cavalry rushes to break up the opponent's formation.

Above the battle array, as long as the formation of the army is scattered, then for the enemy army, it can only be a lamb to the slaughter, only waiting to be slaughtered.

Of course, the enemy is not stupid, if you send light cavalry to try to harass you, people will not sit still, and they will also send light cavalry to counter harassment you.

And it is likely that the light cavalry on both sides will exchange fire first, and then those tricks such as opening bows from left to right may come in handy.

However, even if the other party does not have light cavalry to fight against you, you may not be sure to win, for example, Cao Wei's iron cavalry can be said to sweep the world and no one is invincible, but there is no way to meet Zhuge Liang's car formation.

Because people can train their soldiers to the extent that they have no weaknesses, you can test them casually, and people will circle around them in eight formations, and you will attack from the same angle.

Therefore, although Sima Yi holds an iron horse, he can only use one move to deal with Zhuge Liang, and that is to shrink.

Because of the poor mobility of the infantry, although Sima Yi couldn't defeat Zhuge Liang in the field, as long as he shrank in the battalion, Zhuge Liang couldn't do anything about him.

The main advantage of mounted archery is mobility, but if you really want to encounter an invulnerable military formation, no matter how mobile you are, it is useless, but there are few people who can train to the level of Zhuge Liang throughout the ages, so the advantage of mounted archery mobility is still very great.

Therefore, after understanding the tactics of the cavalry, when Lu Wenzhao gave him a casual guidance, Zhu Youzhen probably knew how to ride and shoot.

"Drive!"

In front of everyone, he lightly clamped the horse's belly, and then rode his horse towards the target.

I saw him stretch out his hand and clamp it into the quiver, and the three arrows were placed in his fingers, clutched tightly.

However, he did not shoot arrows at the beginning, but after becoming familiar with the ups and downs of the foal under his crotch when hitting the waves, he turned back and opened his bow and arrows.

With three "booms", two of the three arrows hit the target heart, and one hit the edge of the heart.

"Good!"

A group of eunuchs didn't need Zhu Youxiao to applaud, so they consciously applauded.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao also smiled very happily, and then said loudly:

"If an arrow misses the bull's-eye, it doesn't count."

"It's my first shot, and the first shot naturally doesn't count, and my brother gives me another chance." Zhu Youzhen shouted on a distant warhorse.

"Good! Then give you another chance! Zhu Youxiao also shouted happily.

As soon as he shouted, Zhu Youzhen continued to turn back, shooting three arrows in a row ten steps away from the target, none of which missed the target, and they all hit the bull's eye.

"His Royal Highness is very talented, he has such a divine shot at the age of ten, I am afraid that after the crown, he will be able to open a ten-force battle bow on horseback, like Liu Wei and Liu Zongbing."

Lu Wenzhao couldn't help but sigh, and this exclamation also made Zhu Youxiao laugh.

Although Liu Wei was killed in the Battle of Sarhu, except for the last battle, the Houjin army was defeated one after another in the face of his army along the way.

And Liu Ling's bravery, known as the first fierce general of the late Ming Dynasty, the iron knife he used weighs more than 120 pounds, and immediately rotates like flying, known as "Liu Dadao".

Naturally, these wordings are a bit exaggerated, the one hundred and twenty catties of broadsword is used by Liu Wei when he practices martial arts on weekdays, and his weapons on the battlefield are only a dozen catties.

But even so, his bravery in the Battle of Sarhu was jaw-dropping.

In the "Supplement to the Chronicle of the History of the Ming Dynasty", it is recorded that Liu Wei was injured by an arrow in his left and right arms, and after being stabbed in the face, he was able to rush left and right, and dozens of people were killed behind the blade.

This kind of bravery is particularly rare, and the next time it appears again, it will be Li Dingguo who will take on the elephant alone.

Therefore, in Zhu Youxiao's view, this kind of bravery shows that his younger brother has a good body, and he will not die halfway like other younger brothers.

He felt relieved, and couldn't help but smile at Zhu Youzhen's back shooting arrows on horseback.
